A Summary of the WWDC25 Group Lab

So what's the point of being able to block unto 50 apps per ManagedSettingStore via store.application.blockedApplications (which works fine) until removing the blocked apps or clearing the store. Where the following occurs if you have a social networking group with more than 9 apps only 9 apps will go back into the group and all the others will go onto the springboard all jumbled if you end up with an empty group then tap into the group, it is removed then during the reset all apps are placed back on to the springboard

Question: Is there a way to mitigate HyperThreading vulnerability via MDM versus only NVRAM arguments passed in Recovery?Answer: No, because if it's available via MDM, it's also available to a potential remote attacker.Question: When a macOS MDM device upgrades to Catalina, what requirements does the device need to have in order to be considered Supervised? Is User Approved MDM enough to be considered supervised?Answer: Ask at the Device Management lab on Friday.Question: Does User-approved MDM provide the ability to run MDM commands available only to supervised Macs?Answer: Ask at the Device Management lab on Friday.Question: One of the bootstrap token criteria states: The Mac must be enrolled in an MDM solution associated with Apple School Manager or Apple Business Manager.Does this mean that this is for ONLY ABM-based MDM enrollments or does a UAMDM enrolled system whose MDM is also configured in DEP meet this requirement?Answer: Ask at the Device Management lab on Friday.Questio

I'm working on the Favorite Athlete Lab - trying to complete it while accepting I don't understand everything it is teaching yet. I've encountered many challenges with the Lab but the current on is: I've set the cell reuse identifier of my cell to 'drinkCell' in the attributes inspector - but when I use it in the scenes ViewController, I get the error can not find 'drinkCell' in scope. I can see from the teacher resources how this has been solved there, but as far as I can tell, this solution has not be taught at any point so far, and isn't even mention in the subsequent section on cell dequeuing. let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: drinkCell, for: indexPath) Any help understanding this much appreciated.

Question:Apple's Software Update service is marked as deprecated for macOS Sierra. For environments that want to test Apple updates before distributing them to their Macs, what is Apple's recommended approach for managing Apple software updates?Answer:For upgrade installs, you'll still have the Apple Software Update service available in Server.app.For new installs, the Software Update service will not be listed in Server.app's GUI. However, the functionality is still present in the current DP release and is manageable by the serveradmin command line tool.For new installs, the recommended approach is to use Caching Server. If you want to have management options added to Caching Server, file bugs and feature requests.The current shipping Software Update service for Server.app 5.1.x or older will continue to work. Apple is going to continue to maintain the software update catalogs, so other third-party solutions that use the SUS catalogs should continue to work.Question:Since in-app purchases still cannot be man

System Integrity ProtectionQuestion:Will disabling SIP be available as a choices .XML at install time for the 10.11 OS? If not, what mechanism will be provided for automatic disabling of SIP for use with automated imaging processes for machines?Pain point: Not every environment will be able to access Internet Recovery. At the same time, straight cloning of existing disks is problematic.Answer:SIP is always off in the Recovery environment and the Installer environment. While booted from those environments, you will be able to make changes to a boot disk which is otherwise protected by SIP.SIP-protected files will still appear as restricted when listed with ls's -O, but they can be renamed, moved, deleted or changed.There will be a command line tool to disable SIP in the Recovery environment, separate from the current GUI tool. The GUI tool is in fact going to disappear in favor of the command line tool. This change will likely appear in Developer Beta 2 or Beta 3; check the release notes.Question:The /System/L

Recently App Store Connect, Trends panel, Summary section does not show some of our subscription packages correctly even though we have many sales on those subscriptions. Activations of some of our packages are 0 even we have many sales. Also, the chart does not show some of our packages. I am wondering how to solve this issue. I am attaching a screenshots about this.

Well, I tried that technique but the problem is that even if I SHIFT click a bunch of UI controls, then things don't group but apply independently.What to do?

Today TestFlight is not allowing to add a group to a new build. When clicking on + icon in group column, the groups are disabled.

Does the ability to create groups for external testflight users no longer exisit? I was able to do in last week, but it does not exist this week.
