I'm able to get text to speech to audio file using the following code for iOS 12 iPhone 8 to create a car file: audioFile = try AVAudioFile( forWriting: saveToURL, settings: pcmBuffer.format.settings, commonFormat: .pcmFormatInt16, interleaved: false) where pcmBuffer.format.settings is: [AVAudioFileTypeKey: kAudioFileMP3Type, AVSampleRateKey: 48000, AVEncoderBitRateKey: 128000, AVNumberOfChannelsKey: 2, AVFormatIDKey: kAudioFormatLinearPCM] However, this code does not work when I run the app in iOS 18 on iPhone 13 Pro Max. The audio file is created, but it doesn't sound right. It has a lot of static and it seems the speech is very low pitch. Can anyone give me a hint or an answer?

I ran out of disk space and I think I've come to the point that I need to delete files used by Xcode. Can I delete Simulator altogether? It doesn't look like I can run the latest Xcode without iOS 18 installed with it on my Mac Pro. Is there any way I can exclude iOS 18 support using the current Xcode? Would it be a good option to uninstall the latest Xcode and use a previous version of Xcode instead, since I'm not developing for iOS 18? Since I've been working on only macOS apps, is it possible for me to delete anything that has to do with developing for iOS?

Is there a way for my app to know that a phone number has just been messaged to or a call to 911 just started? Or SOS has just been executed by the user?

I want my app to allow the user to search for certain words in a video file and the transcript of that video. I found a Transcript class. I don't remember which Framework it is in. Would someone point me in the right direction? What Framework and Classes should I use.

How many CBService objects is a CBCharacteristic object allowed to belong to?

Is there a way to get the list of contacts in a message or message chain in Messages app on iOS. At one time when I looked for a way to do this there was no available way without jailbreaking. Has anything changed? Is there a way to do this now?

Please say there is a way to programmatically delete playlists in Apple Music in iOS? I'll take any possible way or any hints whatsoever.

I don't see any current posts about the warning that says "PosterBoard quit unexpectedly." on my Mac. Older posts say this is an error generated by Xcode Simulator. I tried one of those solutions but I still see this warning coming up. I am also not using Simulator. I'm using an actual device - an iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 16.6. When I click on Reopen in that alert box telling me that warning message, I get a warning in an alert box with a picture of the Finder icon on it, and it says "You can’t open the application “PosterBoard.app” because this application is not supported on this Mac.". Anyone else have this problem and know what do do about it? Like fix it or get around it?

The documentation for hightlightProperty(withKey:identifier:) describes the parameter "key" as the "Key of the property to highlight." I believe that refers to the CNKeyDescriptor, such as CNContactGivenNameKey, which can cast from a type CNKeyDescriptor to String. The documentation for identifier is "the value to highlight". I believe an example of that would be "John" as the given name. Am I correct about all this? In any case, I'm not able to highlight an email property when I use CNContactEmailAddresses as the key, and an actual email address as the identifier. I have also tried using the identifier property of CNLabeledValue, which is how an email address is stored. I can't find anything on the internet to explain this. I didn't even find a similar question, except my own question asking this exact same question about two months ago. Anyone have any idea or a good answer for this?

Is there a way to show what properties are in a vCard shared with a user in context of the current CNContact the same way in ContactViewController that iOS finds through Siri?

How do I use Core Bluetooth in the simplest possible way to send a value of 0 to 1 from an iOS device to a bluetooth peripheral that does nothing but interpret the value sent to it as how strongly a vibrating component on the bluetooth peripheral should vibrate. A value of zero would mean the peripheral device doesn't vibrate at all, of course. The bluetooth peripheral would be the bluetooth ***** of course, and the iOS device would be the bluetooth master. The ***** device doesn't need to send anything at all to the master iOS device, except to link to the master. I don't know if that would allow the ***** bluetooth device to be any less expensive or smaller or simpler.

If I want to compare characters in iOS using the character code, how do I decide whether to compare the characters by their utf8 or utf16 or ascii code values? I specifically would like to remove all characters from a CNPhoneNumber.stringValue that other than digits.

Why am I getting this error during code time in editor window of Xcode at every call to print function? Use of 'print' refers to instance method rather than global function 'print(_:separator:terminator:)' in module 'Swift'
