A Summary of the WWDC25 Group Lab

Are there any active Facebook or discord groups? Sometime appconnect down and would like to ask whether other developer faces the same issue.

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.

We want to switch our subscription to subscription group but we can't find any way to testUpgrade.Downgrade.Crossgrade.When we try to purchase a product from the same group we get a message (from sandbox) You're currently subscribed to this. with [OK] and [Manage] options.However the [Manage] option is not working on the sandbox.How can we test this? Is it only testable on live environment and not sandbox?Thanks

Ever since I got my 6S Plus with iOS 9, I've had issues getting texts from group message threads, if the thread includes non iPhone people. Anyone else find a fix for this, or know if the 9.1 Betas addresses this any?

I've got the beta installed on my iPad Mini 2. I just happened to look at the message responses to a group message that I sent which originated from my iPhone 6 Plus (on iOS 8.3) which was sent to a mix of iMessage and regular SMS accounts, and while my original group message was contained in a group message thread, all the responses to it came back in individual threads. I verified that on my iPhone they are all coming back as part of the group message thread. Only seems to be an issue on the iPad and on the iPad with iOS 9 (previous group messaging on iOS 8.3 and below worked as expected).I also checked in Settings -> Messages to see if the Group Messaging option was enabled, and it isn't there anymore. (For that matter, neither is MMS Messaging.) Can anyone else verify that Group Messaging is or isn't working for them as expected?

we have an app in App Store Connect; we have 4 External Testing groups; we have testers, who are simultaneously in two or more groups; tester who consists in several groups can see all available builds in these groups on their device via TestFlight; I choose to remove the tester from one group; check this group - the tester is removed; check other groups - the tester remains in other groups; but checking the TestFlight on the device shows tester removed and NONE of the builds available before can be seen now. According to this article: Removed testers will no longer have access to new builds added to this group in the TestFlight app. They’ll continue to have access to existing builds until they expire, but in fact we can see opposite behavior and the tester looses access to ALL groups and builds in TestFlight after being removed just from one of the groups. So the question is: is there a way to fix this? Or we m

Question:Can an APFS container span multiple physical devices?Answer:Not right now. Apple's looking at that, in relation to Fusion drives. No RAID or RAID-like support is planned for APFS.Question:How does CoreStorage interact with APFS during the APFS conversion process?Answer:The plan is to have the APFS conversion process read the Core Storage plus HFS+ metadata and convert them to an APFS container. For encrypted Core Storage volumes, you will likely be prompted for an account password or recovery key before the conversion process begins.Question:Is fdesetup going to be the tool for interacting with APFS encryption, or will there be a new command line tool for managing APFS encryption? If there's a new tool, what is it?Answer:To be determined because Apple still looking at this.With regards to encryption, Apple has started work on this part of APFS but the work is not yet complete.Question:Can APFS recovery key(s) be escrowed when enabling encryption? The goal is to store the recovery key(s) somewhere for

Hi, Can we hide a subscription group from a specific set of users? For example, I have two types of users saying type A and B. Also, we have two auto-renewable subscriptions belonging to different groups saying Investors Premium and General Premium. Can we hide the subscriptions belonging to the group Investors Premium from general users and subscriptions belonging to the group General Premium from investors?
