A Summary of the WWDC25 Group Lab

Hello Apple Developer Community, I am facing a persistent issue with my iOS TestFlight builds that keeps getting rejected for Guideline 2.1 - Performance - App Completeness, specifically Your app failed to load any content at launch. (blank white screen). My app is With Wans Camp Map (App ID: com.jiro.withwanscampmap). Here's a summary of the situation: App Functionality: The app uses Google Sheets API to fetch campsite data (pins) and Google Maps API to display them on a map. Local Development (Expo Go): When running the app locally using npx expo start and connecting with the Expo Go app, and with the Google Cloud Platform (GCP) API key Application restrictions set to None (no restriction), the app loads successfully and displays all pins correctly. This confirms the API keys themselves and the data fetching logic are working. TestFlight Builds (Rejected): All attempts to upload builds via EAS Build (profile preview with autoIncrement: true in eas.json) and Transporter have resulted in rejection wi

I have this very simple PersistenceController setup. It's used in both the main app and widget target. struct PersistenceController { static let shared = PersistenceController() @MainActor static let preview: PersistenceController = { let result = PersistenceController(inMemory: true) let viewContext = result.container.viewContext return result }() let container: NSPersistentContainer /// The main context. var context: NSManagedObjectContext { return container.viewContext } init(inMemory: Bool = false) { container = NSPersistentContainer(name: Gamery) if inMemory { container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first!.url = URL(fileURLWithPath: /dev/null) } else { do { let storeURL = try URL.storeURL(forAppGroup: XXXXXXXXXX, databaseName: Gamery) let storeDescription = NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: storeURL) /// Enable history tracking for cloud syncing purposes. storeDescription.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey) print(### Persistent container location: (storeURL)) container.persi

Hi, Our recent security scans, performed by Data Theorem, have flagged a potential App Store blocker related to the use of a private iOS class, NSBlock. We are concerned that this identified warning may lead to our apps being rejected during the next App Store submission. Issue Summary: We integrate a library, this SDK is developed using Kotlin Multiplatform, and during compilation, Kotlin automatically generates Objective-C/Swift interoperability code. As a result of this code generation, the compiled framework includes a reference to a private Apple class, NSBlock. It’s important to note that: No methods or functionality from NSBlock are being invoked or used. This reference is auto-generated by Kotlin’s ObjCExport.mm module. For additional context, you may refer to a related discussion on this issue: https://github.com/ricohapi/theta-client/issues/98 https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/issues/1642 https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/pull/1652/files We would like to confirm whether th

I am trying to recreate the kind of header view from the WWDC25 video Design foundations from idea to interface. I've tried using a ScrollView and using Geometry reader, but couldn't figure it out and as this was showcased in the WWDC session, is there an easier way to achieve this style? Thanks in advance!

I am writing a custom package wrapping Foundation Models which provides a chain-of-thought with intermittent self-evaluation among other things. At first I was designing this package with the command line in mind, but after seeing how well it augments the models and makes them more intelligent I wanted to try and build a SwiftUI wrapper around the package. When I started I was using synchronous generation rather than streaming, but to give the best user experience (as I've seen in the WWDC sessions) it is necessary to provide constant feedback to the user that something is happening. I have created a super simplified example of my setup so it's easier to understand. First, there is the Reasoning conversation item, which can be converted to an XML representation which is then fed back into the model (I've found XML works best for structured input) public typealias ConversationContext = XMLDocument extension ConversationContext { public func toPlainText() -> String { return xmlString(options: [.nodePrettyPri

Hi, We’re developing a DriverKit extension for iPadOS. In local Debug and Release builds, everything works as expected, but the same build uploaded to TestFlight fails at IOServiceOpen with the following errors: -536870212 (0xE00002EC) kIOReturnUnsupported -536870201 (0xE00002F7) kIOReturnNotPermitted What we’ve verified so far App entitlements We checked our main app entitlements file, and it has the correct capabilities for the driverkit communication <?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC -//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd> <plist version=1.0> <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.driverkit.communicates-with-drivers</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.developer.driverkit.userclient-access</key> <array> <string>abc.def.ABCDriver</string> </array> <key>com.apple.developer.system-extension.install</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <t

Hey everyone, I'm dealing with a really frustrating issue with auto-renewable subscriptions in my app and hoping someone can help or at least tell me what's going on. Here's what happened: When I first submitted my app I had already set up the monthly and yearly subscriptions in App Store Connect After a few rejections the app finally got approved, but when it went live I noticed the subscriptions were completely gone. Users could only see the lifetime purchase. I never removed anything or changed any major configurations, so I have no idea why they just disappeared I tried removing the app from sale and then also temporarily removed the subscriptions. After re-enabling them they now show as Approved when I look at them individually But in the Subscription Group it still says Updates Pending Review and I can't do anything - can't edit anything, can't resubmit I thought about submitting a new build hoping I could reselect the subscriptions, but they still don't show up as selectable in the in-app purc
