“A Summary of the WWDC26 Group Lab”

Quinn, in your post App Groups: macOS vs iOS: Fight!, you mention that an app must meet at least one of four criteria to access an app group container without user intervention: Your app is deployed via the Mac App Store (A). Or via TestFlight when running on macOS 15.1 or later (B). Or the app group ID starts with your app’s Team ID (C). Or your app’s claim to the app group is authorised by a provisioning profile embedded in the app (D) [1]. Our app is distributed directly (Developer ID), so it doesn't meet the first two criteria. We already had the app group ID set up to match the iOS ID (without our Team ID) and changing it now would affect our users already-stored data, so criteria C isn't really an option either. That brings us to criteria D. We've added the App Groups Capability to our App ID on the Developer site and creating a Developer ID provisioning profile with this App ID. However, for some reason the App Group Capability is not inclu

I want to create an app group of free apps. They don't have any inapp purchases, completely free. But App store connect shows me an error: Each app in a free app bundle must offer an auto-renewable subscription that allows the user to subscribe to and access content or services in all apps of the bundle. So I cannot create an app group with free apps?

Hi, in searching the Cloudkit logs I am seeing that some of my public database record fetch records are listed as EphemeralGroup in the Operation Group name, any idea what this means? thank you

I'm trying to use App Groups capability to enable file sharing between my multiple apps. But i'm wondering which app will be counted as the disk space occupier when I write a file to the shared path? Thanks for your consideration.

I am making an iOS step counting app and I have included a widget in the design. I would like to get the widget to pull data from the main app to display step count etc so I created a bundle id for the widget and have been trying to use a group id to link them together. The group capabilities for both seem to be set up/enabled properly with the same App Groups id, but I've been getting an error in xcode which says, 'Provisioning Profile: BUNDLE_ID doesn't include the com.apple.developer.security.application-groups entitlement.' Try Again But the identifiers do have the App Group id enabled. I have tried automatic signing, manual signing with generated profiles, unchecking and rechecking auto-signing, removing and re-adding the group capability. Creating a new bundle id from scratch, creating a new group id from scratch. Always I get the error. I've really pulled my hair out troubleshooting this and would appreciate support. I'm happy to answer an

I'm trying to figure out how to proceed with multiple subscription groups with iOS in-app purchase.Suppose I have multiple content providers users can subscribe to, and for each there are different tiers of subscriptions as follows:Provider 1 : Basic, Plus, Premium Provider 2 : Basic, Plus, Premium ... Provider n : Basic, Plus, Premium.My understanding is we do this by creating subscription group and within each subscription groups create Basic, Plus, Premium. Users can upgrade/downgrade plan within the group.My issue is we add/remove content providers all the time, therefore its not scaleable to keep adding new subscription groups every time we have new provider.
