Hello, I am a product designer trying to understand the UI design limitations of CarPlay. I am designing a scene where a CPTabBarTemplate will appear. From what I can read in the CarPlay development documentation, I understand that it should be possible to assign a custom icon for each tab with tabImage: UIImage?, if I am not mistaken. However, any reference I have found always uses SF Symbols, which makes me wonder if they can actually be customized. And on the other hand, if they are customizable, could any PNG be used for the tab that might compromise the driver's safety? Thank you in advance.

Hello, I am a product designer trying to understand the UI design limitations of CarPlay. Since CarPlay renders templates in a single way and there isn't any option to change any component, is there any way to see in the documentation how that component will look once rendered? For example, if I want to incorporate a primaryButton: CPTextButton? in my CPPointOfInterest. How could I know how each CPTextButtonStyle will be displayed? Is there an accessible place where I can check how each component will be visualized? Thank you in advance.

I recently upgraded to Xcode version 15.4, but after the upgrade, my app stopped working. I resolved all the dependency issues and managed to run it locally. However, when I archive and distribute the app, it shows a blank white screen upon launching it on the phone. Any troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello there. I want to reporting about bug at iOS 18. Some feature doest not working like notification from aplication, and picture pagination is bad to see in apple music, and last the keyboard too. Please fixed it.

Hello, I am a product designer and I am currently working on a project that incorporates functionalities in CarPlay. Given the UI limitations that exist for app development with CarPlay, are there any pre-designed templates in Figma or any other resources that can be used to design the screens? This way, I can adhere to those templates knowing what the limits are. Thank you very much for your attention.

Hi In my application I'm trying to recreate the behaviour of the back button in the Apple TV app on iOS. What I'm looking for is a way to have a material background but also making it possible to animate (with an interruptible animation) the transition when the user scrolls down in a scroll view. When searching around there seems to be 2 hacks which doesn't solve my problem. Either you add a static image for the back button, which doesn't solve any of the points I mentioned before. The other hack is to stop using the back button in the UINavigationBar and start leveraging the left button instead, which I don't want because you loose the swipe back gesture. Can you just pinpoint me what API I could use to get a similar look and feel?

I am Justin, I am no developer but I think we should have a feature were we can upload our work with out playing money it is so much better.i think it is better then having young devs to save money then asking there parents for money to pay apple. Also Swift maybe a good language but I feel there should be a langue that can combine all the languages at once. Justin

Hi , How to add custom subclass Textfield in AlertController or Disable copy paste from AlertViewController textfield.

I'm creating a slate pad for Ipad with several input fields to fill using Adobe XD. How can I obtain and attach a virtual keyboard to fill these input fields? I found a video with a similar concept but on Iphone: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7tPI0VuKd4&list=PLWeIX-zcNnqII-nzviv_yxT2WNQRRYbiG&index=3 In this other link, the video mentions that the virtual keyboard was obtained from a UI kit that Apple provides. But I've looked and looked and I can't find a page to download this virtual keyboard. Any ideas? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rosf7-zVYjY&t=122s

Hello, We have an iOS application (navigation/mobility app) that we need to have it stay connected to TCP server even app is in background. We tried disabling screen lock. We tried having location permission as "always". But it is not consistent. Usually, after 15 minutes, TCP connection is disconnected. We are unable to run code on app's side if it is in the background. Our other workaround option is similar to WhatsApp or what every other companies / our rivals in the market do. Have a VOIP feature, use voip notification to wake up the app. But we really don't want to do that sort of thing. Any feedback and any ideas are welcomed. Thanks.

Hi everyone, Just a quick question: Can I use Apple's product bezels to create mockups that I sell online on my website & market? (Here's the link for reference: https://developer.apple.com/design/resources/#product-bezels Just want to make sure it's all good! Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, Looking for some guidance on getting my code approved through app connect. Based on the crash logs, it appears the application is experiencing crashes related to an EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT), which is typically triggered by the app receiving an abort signal, often as a result of an unhandled exception or other critical errors that cause the app to terminate abruptly. Any ideas on how to resolve?

I'm developing an Apple TV OS app using SwiftUI. I'm encountering an issue with the color of the tab item. I want the color of the tab item to turn green when focused; for instance, when the tab item is selected, its background color should be green. Below is my current code, but it's not working. I've tried several other approaches, but none have worked. struct ContentView: View { @State private var selectedTab = 0 var body: some View { ZStack(alignment: .topLeading){ TabView(selection: $selectedTab) { HomeView() .tabItem { AppColors.gradientColor1 Label("Home", image: "home-dash") } .tag(0) ProductsView() .tabItem { Label("Products", image: "open box-search") } .tag(1) SearchView() .tabItem { Label("Search", image: "search") } .tag(2) } .accentColor(Color.green) .background(.black) Image("amazontabbarlogo") } } }

Hi all, I am working on macOS 14.4.1 and I am having an issue with the Desktop Spaces feature. Calling defaults read com.apple.spaces.plist gives me a list of all current spaces, which reports the existence of a phantom Space that cannot be seen nor interacted with. The ID of that Space leads me to the following: which shows that space 23 is associated with the Dashboard feature, that does not exist in Sonoma! I have tried to: restart the computer, forcefully disable the dashboard with defaults write com.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES killall Dock Neither attempt erased the phantom Space, which creates conflicts in my setup. I have tried completely disabling Widgets in the Preferences, closing all apps, deleting every space (including the "current" one, by creating a new one to substitute it) and restarting the Mac. After this, the id of the dashboard space changed: but it is still there. I do not know which step changed its id, because to my knowledge the com.apple.spaces.plist file takes a while to be updated (https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/388449). But no hints on how to erase it. The specific issues I am having are that this phantom space prevents any software that reads the Spaces state, to save it, from working correctly (e.g. DisplayMaid, Workspaces). In particular, I am now developing a Hammerspoon (https://www.hammerspoon.org/) module to do just that, to set it precisely to my liking: https://github.com/tplobo/restore-spaces. Listing the spaces to cycle through them always reports this phantom space, and since it cannot be identified as the "non-existing" one (up until the time it breaks one of the Lua commands that manage spaces), I am unable to exclude it somehow to continue development. Is there a command to restart the Spaces feature, to completely erase all spaces and check if this removes this phantom Space? Otherwise, any alternative suggestions? I have already posted this in the standard forum, but no luck there. Thank you,

Hi everyone, This is my first app and I got rejected for a few reasons but I need help with a specific one. Guideline 4.0 - Design Your app offers Sign in with Apple as a login option but does not follow the design and user experience requirements for Sign in with Apple. Specifically: - Your app requires users to provide their name after using Sign in with Apple. This information is already provided by the Authentication Services framework. These requirements provide the consistent experience users expect when using Sign In with Apple to authenticate or log in to an account. Next Steps Please revise the Sign in with Apple experience in your app to address the issues we identified above. Resources - To learn more about App Store design requirements, see App Review Guideline 4 - Design. - For an overview of design and formatting recommendations for Sign in with Apple, review the Human Interface Guidelines. There is no screenshot provided so I have no idea which part of the app to improve and the app is incredibly basic. I've tested the UI with a bunch of people (it's essentially just drop-downs, bottom sheets and a few buttons) any advice?

I upload one of my app on app store connect then I get Rejection there it gave me this message that guideline 4.8 design login services. how to solve this issue on app store Can you please guide me about it. This the message i receive from app store: The app uses a third-party login service, but does not appear to offer an equivalent login option with the following features: The login option limits data collection to the user’s name and email address. The login option allows users to keep their email address private as part of setting up their account. The login option does not collect interactions with the app for advertising purposes without consent. Next Steps Revise the app to offer an equivalent login option that meets all of the above requirements. If the app already includes a login option that meets the above requirements, reply to App Review in App Store Connect, identify which login option meets the requirements, and explain why it meets the requirements. Additionally, it would be appropriate to update the screenshots in the app's metadata to accurately reflect the revised app once another login service has been implemented.

I'm trying to find out of SF Symbols is the correct tool for job I have in mind. I'm wanting to create custom box drawing symbols, like those in the unicode block. Box drawing requires the lines from one symbol to connect to the lines of an adjacent symbol. Does SF Symbols allow for this connecting of symbols, or does it create some padding restriction around each symbol, preventing lines from connecting to one another?

Your app or its metadata does not appear to include complete and final content. Specifically, your app description needs to describe in-app features and functionality. App Store users expect the apps they download to be ready for public use. Apps on the store shouldn't include placeholder or incomplete content or information. Next Steps To resolve this issue, please revise your app and metadata so that all of its content is complete and final. For example: Your app binary or metadata should not include "lorem ipsum" text. App metadata should not include placeholder screenshots, such as "screenshot coming soon." Provide an engaging app description that highlights the features and functionality of your app. I received this mail, I made required changes still getting this

Hi, I'm product designer and I'm looking for HIG for layout recomendations, currently I can't find anything about recommended numbers for spacing/paddings etc.. Did Apple remove this and why?

Hi, Does anyone have a good reference list of all capabilities that are unavailable in an iMessage App vs a regular App? In particular, I'm trying to figure out whether I can 1) request a signature via passkey, and 2) send a POST request to an HTTP endpoint. Asking because I haven't been able to find code references or live apps for either. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated! Regards, Lyron
