Hi,does apple allow apps for a Closed Group of Users ?I want to create an app for a private club for managing club events and registrations therefore.I will only allow users with valid credentials when acessing the App. For other users this App will have no value.Are those kinds of (private) apps allowed in the iStore or will they be rejected ?Thanks for any information

My understanding is that iOS app group names must begin with group., but macOS group names must begin with the team identifier. If I check a group. name in the iOS section, it's also added to the macOS section, despite being invalid. If I add a team-id: name in the macOS section, it's also added to the iOS section, and marked in red as invalid. If I uncheck it from the iOS section, it also gets removed from the macOS section. Is there a way to define the equivalent group names in the two sections? Xcode 14.1b3 screenshot:

Hello, For GuessTogether source code, it seems like the code assumes that you're already in a FaceTime call before pressing the custom SharePlay button (labeled Play Guess Together). If not already on a FaceTime call, my Apple Vision Pro and the visionOS simulator both do nothing after throwing warnings. Is this intended behavior? If so, how do I make it so that pressing the button can also initiate FaceTime calls? Is this allowed? Thank you!

We're in the process of moving our app's storage from the app container to an app group container so that the data can be accessed by app extensions (such as share extensions) as well. However, we found that Xcode does not backup app group containers via the Devices and Simulators window. How can I include the app group in the backup and restore process? Similarly, could you confirm that app groups are indeed included in the iCloud backup and restore process?

Hello, I have a question about subscription groups in in-app purchases. Suppose I create a subscription group like this: Subscription Group A Subscription Item A1 (one month) Subscription Item A2 (one week) Subscription Item A3 (one year) The documentation mentions, A subscription group is made up of subscriptions with different access levels, prices, and durations so people can select the option that best fits their needs. Since people can only buy one subscription within a group at a time. Does this mean that if a user purchases Subscription Item A1 in Subscription Group A, they can only purchase other subscription items in Subscription Group A after the one-month period ends, when that subscription expires?

We're seeing a consistent issue where iPads with the A16 chip fail to connect to our BLE device, which uses a Silicon Labs chip running Gecko SDK 3.x. All other Apple devices — including older iPads and iPhones — connect without any problems. According to Silicon Labs, the issue stems from the iPad A16 sending an LL_CHANNEL_REPORTING_IND message (opcode 0x28) during connection establishment: Per Silicon Labs: Currently the iPad 16 will send a message for LL_CHANNEL_REPORTING_IND (opcode 0x28). This is a feature that is not supported in Gecko SDK 3.x. Shortly after, the BLE module responds with an 'Unknown Response' (opcode 0x07), indicating that it does not support opcode 0x28 After this exchange the iPad stops sending meaningful transactions to the BLE module and eventually closes the connection. The BLE Module is responding to this unknown request as specified in the BT Core Spec Volume 6 Part B. Unfortunately, the firmware on these BLE modules cannot be updated remotely, and we'v

Hi folks, I'm trying to build communication between the main app and its helper via inter-process communication. I found here that it is possible if the apps are in the same app group. But I really cannot make it work, and cannot understand what I do wrong. It works all good if I add com.apple.security.temporary-exception.mach-lookup.global-name entitlement, so the setup seems to be correct? Where should I look to fix it? Also because having that entitlement means that it is gonna be tricky to get through the App Review.

I'm ready to submit a new app with 3 subscription plans. But the status of the group remains 'Prepare for Submission.' And it won't change. All the individual subscription plans have the 'Ready to Submit' status. I have triple-checked individual plans to see if there is anything missing. No. Nothing is missing. There are no pending business contracts to review, either. I have even deleted an existing group and created a whole new subscription group. And I still end up with this prepare status. Am I the only one having this subscription group difficulty? One thing that I realize is that the status appears as 'Ready to Submit' on individual subscription plans. But their respective localization pair of display name and description get the Prepared status. The display name and the description fields are both filled for all three plans. What a nice, merry, merry Christmas. I don't know what else I can do to resolve this Prepared madness. I've been stuck for 4 hours.

Hello everyone, I am trying to save an identity into a group keychain. I am doing it this way, following the documentation: let queryAdd: [String: AnyObject] = [ kSecClass as String: kSecClassGenericPassword, kSecAttrAccount as String: kSecImportItemIdentity as AnyObject, kSecValueData as String: identity as SecIdentity, kSecAttrAccessible as String: kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlocked, kSecAttrAccessGroup as String: accessGroup as AnyObject ] let resultCode = SecItemAdd(queryAdd as CFDictionary, nil) if resultCode != noErr { print(Error saving to Keychain: (resultCode)) } I am getting error (or resultCode) -50, which means password has not been save successfully. As a no-team programmer, my accessGroup it's just the group Bundle identifier, registered in Signing & Capabilities -> Keychain Sharing. I don't know if maybe the reason of this code is because the group is not alright or something else it's happening, although it looks I am using the identity the right way.

When searching for the answer to an issue, I found it very useful in the old forums to see how many responses there were for a certain topic (i.e. > 0), so I wouldn't waste time in opening an unanswered topic. Is it possible to add it to the new forums?

It seems like the SIMD-group shuffle instructions (e.g. simd_shuffle(), simd_shuffle_down(), simd_shuffle_xor() etc. – subsection 5.13) aren't supported on iOS (#include <metal_simdgroup> throws an error).I'd like to know why aren't these instructions available on iOS – is it because the GPU architectures don't allow for these instructions to be implemented (why?), or is there any other reason?Furthermore is there a plan to add these instructions to iOS?

These questions are community-driven. I am also not the original questioner, I'm just posting them with permission. Thank you to the anonymous folks who helped gather this information.Software Update Server related:- This product is officially deprecated (which we all knew). It has no future, guaranteed.- They were surprised, however, that the ability to set a custom CatalogURL as an argument to /usr/sbin/softwareupdate (client) disappeared at some point. 1. See github dot com / munki / munki / issues / 511 as an example of this issue. 2. They rely on that internally, obviously.- This functionality should exist at all times; file a bug report at any point we don't see this happening (and maybe this something Munki can go back to using?)- They weren't aware of Reposado, but I showed it to them and they like the idea. I asked if they had any plans to obstruct or otherwise change how it works in a way that would break this functionality, and they didn't seem to be cagey about it. Sounds like Software Update has
