Overview

Today the Connect page asks me to confirm if I am a trader or not under DSA. I am an independent developer and have several apps in App Store. I have no idea what a trader is. The DSA defines a trader as “any natural person, or any legal person irrespective of whether privately or publicly owned, who is acting, including through any person acting in his or her name or on his or her behalf, for purposes relating to his or her trade, business, craft or profession.” If you have questions about your status as a trader, consult with your legal advisor. I emailed Connect support but their reply is very "official" which confuses me more.

Is it possible to get access to the class SRWristDetection of the SensorKit Framework in a watchOS app? As part of a project, we need to be able to log in to a service and as soon as the watch is taken off, the user must be logged out.

Hi all, I'm attempting to generate an XCFramework that must maintain ABI stability. The framework is created from an SPM using the attached script generate-FK.sh. I does not work. Removing the flag BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION=YES and adding the flag -allow-internal-distribution to xcodebuild -create-xcframework everything is fine. Despite this resolves the problem, it results in the generated module not being ABI stable. However, when attempting the script approach, it generates the XCFramework but when used it raises an error in arm64-apple-ios-private.swiftinterface with no such file or module as soon as it encounters an import statement for ModuleX reading it. The package structure is attached as Package.swift and te obtained result XCFramework structure is as follows: MyLibrary.xcframework ├── Info.plist ├── ios-arm64 │ └── MyLibrary.framework │ ├── Headers │ │ ├── ModuleH-Swift.h │ │ ├── ModuleH.modulemap │ │ ├── ModuleC-Swift.h │ │ ├── ModuleC.modulemap │ │ ├── ModuleA-Swift.h │ │ ├── ModuleA.modulemap │ │ ├── MyLibrary-Swift.h │ │ └── MyLibrary.modulemap │ ├── Info.plist │ ├── Modules │ │ └── MyLibrary.swiftmodule │ │ ├── arm64-apple-ios.abi.json │ │ ├── arm64-apple-ios.swiftdoc │ │ └── arm64-apple-ios.swiftmodule │ └── MyLibrary └── ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator └── MyLibrary.framework ├── Headers │ ├── ModuleH-Swift.h │ ├── ModuleH.modulemap │ ├── ModuleC-Swift.h │ ├── ModuleC.modulemap │ ├── ModuleA-Swift.h │ ├── ModuleA.modulemap │ ├── MyLibrary-Swift.h │ └── MyLibrary.modulemap ├── Info.plist ├── Modules │ └── MyLibrary.swiftmodule │ ├── arm64-apple-ios-simulator.abi.json │ ├── arm64-apple-ios-simulator.swiftdoc │ ├── arm64-apple-ios-simulator.swiftmodule │ ├── x86_64-apple-ios-simulator.abi.json │ ├── x86_64-apple-ios-simulator.swiftdoc │ └── x86_64-apple-ios-simulator.swiftmodule ├── MyLibrary └── _CodeSignature └── CodeResources It's worth mentioning that the library must be compatible with both Objective-C and Swift, and Modules A, C, and H are imported into the MyLibrary module as @_exported modules, that is why I've included the headers and module maps. What is wrong? Thank you in advance for your assistance. Files: generate-FK.sh Package.swift

Hi, I am experience crashes with my application after code signing, this didn't happen before. Does OpenGL require special permissions? GSequencer stack-trace gtk4 crash by, Joël

Hi, I am running into an error on XCode 15 (iOS 17+). When I am trying to play an iframe on the app. I see this error popup. Warning: -[BETextInput attributedMarkedText] is unimplemented Failed to request allowed query parameters from WebPrivacy. How do I fix this issue? I never saw this before so I am sure it is new. The app use to run fine as well.

Both view and modifier versions of the FamilyActivityPicker crash randomly when selecting some items (usually the other option) throwing these in the console: [com.apple.FamilyControls.ActivityPickerExtension(1150.1)] Connection to plugin invalidated while in use AX Lookup problem - errorCode:1100 error:Permission denied portName:'com.apple.iphone.axserver' PID:22091 ( 0 AXRuntime 0x00000001c603b0fc _AXGetPortFromCache + 800 1 AXRuntime 0x00000001c603cce0 AXUIElementPerformFencedActionWithValue + 700 2 UIKit 0x0000000230de3ec8 DDE6E0C5-2AC3-3C73-8CFE-BC88DE35BB5F + 1453768 3 libdispatch.dylib 0x0000000103ef0b98 _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 32 4 libdispatch.dylib 0x0000000103ef27bc _dispatch_client_callout + 20 5 libdispatch.dylib 0x0000000103efa66c _dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 832 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x0000000103efb408 _dispatch_lane_invoke + 408 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x0000000103f08404 _dispatch_root_queue_drain_deferred_wlh + 328 8 libdispatch.dylib 0x0000000103f07a38 _dispatch_workloop_worker_thread + 444 9 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x00000001f0824f20 _pthread_wqthread + 288 10 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x00000001f0824fc0 start_wqthread + 8 ) This also happens in production apps like the Opal. The questions are: At least how to detect it to be able to manually reload the sheet (like what Opal does and shows an alert when this happens) How to prevent it in the first place? I really appreciate any help you can provide.

While this isn't an issue directly related with programming, I would like to share my frustration with Apple Care and their knowledge of how App Store and third-party apps work. Perhaps someone at Apple can do something about it. Every now and then a user of one of my apps contacts me asking why they get an error when downloading or updating the app in the App Store ("Unable to Download App. “App” could not be installed. Please try again later."). I tell them that third-party developers have no power over the App Store or its download/update process, and this is an issue they have to solve with Apple Care. But when they contact Apple Care, they are told that since it's an issue with a third-party app, they have to contact the app developer. Sometimes the user is more inclined to believe what Apple Care tells them and they get angry at me. In any case, I feel helpless and frustrated, because I would love to help them, but have no means of doing so. There is something about the concept of App Store that makes some users believe that third-party developers have more power than they actually have: sometimes, for example, users contact me directly, or even leave reviews on the App Store, asking for a refund, which of course only Apple can do. Have you had a similar experience? Can some engineer at Apple instruct Apple Care that third-party developers cannot help with App Store download/update issues, so that App Store users don't get mad at the app developers for not being able to install/update their app?

I have tried to insert 1L key-values into the user defaults. It is working fine until 50k key-values. After some time, am getting Not updating lastKnownShmemState in CFPrefsPlistSource<0x2825b0c60> (Domain: peformance_validator, User: kCFPreferencesCurrentUser, ByHost: No, Container: (null), Contents Need Refresh: No) also, key-values are not updating in the plist as well. peformance_validator is my user defaults group name. How can I solve this ?

Please take a look at the following simple SwiftUI View: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { ForEach(1...1, id: \.self) { i in subview(i) } } func subview(_ i: Int) -> some View { print("creating subview \(i)") return Text("Hello, world!") } } When this View is displayed, all subviews are created twice, as the print statements show. (Unfortunately the Apple Developer Forums UI does not let me attach my sample Xcode project.) This happens on macOS 14.4.1. Am I doing something wrong or is this a SwiftUI bug? (In a real-world application the View creation can be expensive…)

THE ISSUE - Hi there guys we have been through documentation and gone back and forth on forums and we can not get universal links / Deep link to work for us. OUR SETUP - We are running Flutter and are looking to post images from the Gallery into the app only issue is it does not pick up the page its meant to open once the share button is clicked. We have tired all the steps meticulously and still can not get it to work. Are they any known issues with this ?

We have a food delivery app. Now we want to add a prize competition. After every three successful orders, an entry will be created for the users. User can have unlimited entries. Now I am not sure if these requirements comply with AppStore especially No purchase necessary .

This app or its metadata appears to be misrepresenting itself as another popular app or game already available on the App Store, from a developer's website or distribution source, or from a third-party platform. Apps should be unique and should not attempt to deceive users into thinking they are downloading something they are not.... I have faced multiple rejections for my app due to the same issue. However, the Apple reviewer has not provided any specific information about where the issue lies, making it difficult for me to address it. In the subsequent steps, I was instructed to thoroughly review the app store review guidelines and ensure compliance with them, which I have done. I have also reached out to the app review team but have not received a response yet. It is frustrating that the email does not mention the exact content that is being considered as copied. It feels like a generic message, and I am unsure about the next course of action. If anyone has been in a similar situation or has insights into what might be happening, I would greatly appreciate your input. Thank you.

Hello: I'm having a startup APP crash problem. I have not yet analyzed the reason for this crash, because there is no use in re-uninstalling and restarting the phone.Can you help me to analyze this problem, thank you. Here are the crash logs: "vmRegionInfo" : "0xb5a01000 is not in any region.

I have a Category model that's defined like so: @Model final class Category { @Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID var name: String var parent_id: UUID? //categories can be children of other categories init(id: UUID, name: String, parent_id: UUID?) { self.id = id self.name = name self.parent_id = parent_id } } And I'm getting my categories from an API call and putting it into my View: import SwiftUI import SwiftData struct CategoryView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext @Query private var categories: [Category] @Query(filter: #Predicate<Category>{ $0.parent_id == nil }) private var top_level_categories: [Category] var spacing: CGFloat = 25 var body: some View { HStack() { Text("Categories") .font(.title.bold()) Spacer() Text("see all") } .padding([.bottom, .top], 0) VStack(spacing: 20) { ScrollView(.horizontal) { HStack(spacing: spacing) { ForEach(top_level_categories) { category in Text(category.name!) } } } } .onAppear{ getCategories() } } func getCategories() { get_refresh_token { token in guard let token = token else { return } var urlRequest = URLRequest (url: URL(string:"https://api.test.com/categories")!) urlRequest.httpMethod = "GET" urlRequest.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type") urlRequest.addValue("Bearer \(token)", forHTTPHeaderField: "Authorization") URLSession.shared .dataTask(with: urlRequest) { (data, response, error) in do { if let data = data { let c = try JSONDecoder().decode([Category].self, from: data) c.forEach { modelContext.insert($0) } try? modelContext.save() } } catch { print(error) } }.resume() } } } This runs fine the first time I run the app but when I run it again, I get the following error: ForEach<Array<Category>, UUID, Text>: the ID XXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXX occurs multiple times within the collection, this will give undefined results! Not sure why this is happening since I thought putting the @Attribute(.unique) on ID means that the same category won't get added twice?

Hi Apple Dev Support team, We have been applied for our kext on the middle of March, but we have still heard nothing from our dashboard. The purpose of our kext is to provide an implementation of a local file system, which may help our users install/format and use a certain file system (namely the NTFS file system) through our desktop app. Because our application has been submitted for more than 2 months without feedback, so we are writing to ask if you can help us check the application progress? When will it get passing through and if there is anything else we need to provide you with? Thanks for your kind help in advance.

Hi, I developped an app which is an alcohol level calculator (cf image for few screens). I did lots of modification to the app is accepted, but none works. I also asked to the verification team, but they can't help me more. However similar app already exists like https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/alcootel-by-maaf/id6444157056 or https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/%C3%A9thylom%C3%A8tre/id688242393. I even copy the description of the first app. So, could you help me about what I can change in order to the app is validated, or do the new rules make my app "out of the Apple laws". Thank you

So, a bit of a complex situation. My device is an iPhone 15 Pro. Basically, this person is a contact on my phone, and she has blocked my phone number. However, my Apple ID email is not blocked. When I text this number on my iPad from the Apple ID, the message delivers and is Read. All normal so far. My question here is: On my iPhone 15, when I select "START NEW CONVERSATION FROM" and enable my Apple ID .. Will iMessage merge the prior text conversation initiated using my phone number (which is now blocked), or how will it handle these 2 threads (one from my phone number, the other the Apple ID)? She won't unblock, but she responds to my Apple ID email on iMessages. My goal here is to be able to receive and respond using my Apple ID on my phone, but I have a prior text conversation with this Contact on my Phone. Thanks!
