A Summary of the WWDC25 Group Lab

When will Group contacts be made available in apple mail app? Often users feel that their devices are a small extension of their office and to enhance productivity this would be a great addition, one that no other has done as of yet.

Hi, I would like to rollout our builds to a subset of our internal testers (the devs) before we roll it out to the rest (QA, product managers). After submitting the compliance on a build, both of my internal testing groups are automatically added to the build. I thought I would get to choose which group at add myself. To make matters worse, there doesn't appear to be any way to remove a testing group from a build, despite what the documentation says: As you can see, my pointer is over the group, but no Delete button exists Help! -Ethan

Question:In the session yesterday, it was mentioned that Gatekeeper's app relocation moved the app on an unsigned disk image to a randomized place on the filesystem. How does this work?Answer:When the app with the unsigned dependencies is launched, Gatekeeper makes a synthetic instance of the app at a randomized location elsewhere in the filesystem. The synthesized instance of the app is what is actually being launched.The synthesized instance is by itself in this new location, so it's unable to access the unsigned code / library / script, etc when it launches.The synthesized instance is not a copy of the app. Overall behavior is similar to nullfs on BSD, or using bind mounts on Linux.Question:Are there any new features in System Integrity Protection on Sierra, or will the functionality be the same as in El Capitan? If there are new features, what are they?Answer:Same functionality as in El Capitan.Question:Are there new restrictions in System Integrity Protection on Sierra, or do the restrictions currently m

I'm sending push notifications to a notification extension, and within the extension setting the threadIdentifier to be the same. But I'm observing inconsistent grouping behaviour, and behaviour that changes over time. The general iPhone settings are to display notifications as a Stack, and the app settings are to show on lock screen, notification center and banners and the notification grouping is set to by app (changing it to automatic doesn't affect the behaviour below). Pushes are displayed on the lock screen grouped together, then if the device is roused and the screen swiped down to reveal the notification center then they are still grouped. So far so good. If the iphone is active then the notifications appear at the top of the screen, one by one, but in this case if there is a swipe down to reveal the notification center then the notifications are not grouped when displayed, but shown individually. But then if one waits a few minutes and then displays the no

Hello Apple Cummunityis there any functionality available in iOS that allows to group the Wallets with the same type (e.g. passTypeIdentifier) in the Wallet App? So the user would see in the Wallet App a group of the same type of Wallets.Thanks in advance.Kind regardsDennis

I've been unable to get MinuteWeather to return anything for the summary property -- it used to return a nil value which was fixed in a previous beta, but now it always returns an empty string. The rest of the MinuteWeather data returns as expected. Example call: let latitude = 37.323 let longitude = -122.032 Task { let weatherData = WeatherData.shared let minutely = await weatherData.minutelyForecast(for: CLLocation(latitude: latitude, longitude: longitude)) guard let minutelyWeather = minutely else { print(WeatherKit minutely data unavailable) return } print(minutelyWeather.summary) // This returns } WeatherData class: class WeatherData: NSObject { static let shared = WeatherData() private let service = WeatherService.shared func minutelyForecast(for location: CLLocation) async -> WeatherKit.Forecast? { let minuteWeather = await Task.detached(priority: .userInitiated) { let forecast = try? await self.service.weather(for: location, including: .minute) return forecast }.value return minuteWeather

Since I have upgraded to IOS 14.2 on my iphone7. On several occasions I have found that I am unable to open my apps that I have grouped together. When I touch the screen the apps acknowledge that I selected it but it does nothing after that.

Is there any way to get the following pieces of information from a downloaded report ( can obviously get this from looking at appstoreconnect but I want to get it in an automated way.) Total subscriber count for a specific date Exact payment made to the bank account for a certain month Thanks

Hi there, I have a Multiplatform app with just one app target with an iPhone, iPad and Мас Destination. On the Mac my app is a developer singed App that is being distributed outside of the Mac App Store. I want to use App Groups, but as long as there are multiple destinations, Xcode only allows Group Identifiers starting with group.. However, for macOS I need to have a group ID that starts with the TeamID as explained here. So I created two separate entitlements, which are identical, but with different group IDs: With Automatic Code Signing enabled, I get this warning: Xcode still seems thinks it has to use the macOS Group ID for the iOS version. In the App Groups section, the mac Group ID is red and the iOS Group ID is not checked. The app builds and runs without issues on all platforms. The App Store Connect validation (for the iOS version) also works without any errors. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need a separate Mac targ

MTLComputeCommandEncoder documentation mentions the concept of SIMD group, and there is even a void simdgroup_barrier(mem_flags flags) function in addition to the threadgroup_barrier one.Can someone please explain what a SIMD group is? Why that term and not a thread group?

Question:Is there an update for Apple Remote Desktop Admin for Sierra? If there is, will it be just enough to make it Sierra-compatible or will there be new functionality available?Answer:ARD Admin for Sierra will include bug fixes and Sierra compatibility, but no new features or functionality are planned.Question:Are there plans to offer Profile Manager as a cloud service?Answer:No comment.Question:We've attempted to follow the Installer lab team suggestion of doing a scripted run of startosinstall to install macOS using an installer package:https://forums.developer.apple.com/message/143685In our testing, we are having problems determining a way to do additional package payloads that will be installed after the new OS is installed.The script only allows for installing installer packages prior to the reboot install. What is the suggested way to do this?Answer:Use System Image Utility's NetInstall workflow for this. It creates a customized installer and stores inside the generated disk image (NetInsta

I just changed my mind to have a one-time-purchase instead of subscriptions.However, I can see any way to delete the subscription group that I created before.It seems if you don't delete the group you will be REJECTED by the review team.😐Any ideas?
