A Summary of the WWDC25 Group Lab

Hi, We have a app with some auto-renewing subscription in a group of subscriptions. When a user upgrade from a subscription to another, the user receive a refund of the prorated amount of their original subscription (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/subscriptions/). How is the prorated calculated ? Example : subscription to 14,99$ / month. If subscriber upgrade after 10 days, is the refund calculated 10/30 of 14,99$ (so ~5$) ?

Hi! Short time lurker, and first time poster, but I will try to be as descriptive as possible. I have had my HomePod mini since 2021, and have been loving it. Recently, though, I am facing issues which have paralyzed it. Background: Running two HomePod Minis under a stereo pair on the same network in a room. Devices worked well, with the odd dropping of the sound once a while, not too big of an issue. Started running HomePod OS26 beta in July to see what the new updates have, and maybe if the audio issues would be resolved. Issue: Two weeks ago, the after the (then) latest update, there was a no response issue in the app. No big deal, let's just restart the HomePod pair. After restart, no bueno. I also got a new beta software update notification, so decided if I updated them both, the issue will probably be resolved. No dice. The issue persists. So I decided to pair the HomePods and factory reset them. Both HomePods disappeared from my home app. Regular behavior. Going to reset them with the old unplug for 30

I'm currently I'm working on an iOS app + custom keyboard extension, and I’m hoping to get some insight into how to best architect a workflow where the keyboard acts as a remote trigger for dictation, but the main app handles the actual microphone recording and transcription. I know that third-party keyboards are sandboxed and can’t access the microphone directly, so the pattern I’m following is similar to what Wispr Flow appears to be doing: What I'm Trying to Build The user taps a mic button in the custom keyboard (installed system-wide). This triggers the main app to open, start a recording session, and send the audio to my transcription endpoint (not using Speech.framework). Once the transcription result is ready, it's stored in an App Group shared container. The keyboard extension polls for or receives the transcribed text and inserts it into the current input field via textDocumentProxy.insertText(...). Key Questions Triggering App Dictation from Keyboard Is there a clean system-native way to t

Hello everyone, For example, our app currently has one subscription group in App Store Connect with 5 plans (2 annual, 2 monthly, and 1 quarterly). By default, users can go into Apple Subscriptions in Settings and freely switch between all of these plans. However, our business requirement is to only allow users to stay on one annual plan and one quarterly plan. We don’t want them to switch to the other plans. My questions are: Is there any best practice or recommended approach to restrict subscription switching within the same group? Would removing the unwanted products from sale be the correct approach, or are there any risks/downsides with this method? Has anyone faced a similar situation and found a practical solution? Any guidance or shared experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have been working on an app for the past few months, and one issue that I have encountered a few times is an error where quick subsequent deletions cause issues with detached tasks that are triggered from some user actions. Inside a Task.detached, I am building an isolated model context, querying for LineItems, then iterating over those items. The crash happens when accessing a Transaction property through a relationship. var byTransactionId: [UUID: [LineItem]] { return Dictionary(grouping: self) { item in item.transaction?.id ?? UUID() } } In this case, the transaction has been deleted, but the relationship existed when the fetch occurred, so the transaction value is non-nil. The crash occurs when accessing the id. This is the error. SwiftData/BackingData.swift:1035: Fatal error: This model instance was invalidated because its backing data could no longer be found the store. PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(backing: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.PersistentIdentifierBacki

Only people using iPhone 15 and iPhone 15Pro (don't know about iPhone 15 plus or iPhone 15 pro max) are having problems with my App. All seems fine on 13, 14 and 16 as well as iPad The app is in testflight now. I cannot replicate the issue in MAC via virtual iPhone 15 , 15 plus, pro, or promax. What I see happening - it looks like users are seeing labels disappear, sometimes buttons are disappearing on the 15 pro and 15. I have an ingredient selection page where you can select the ingredients that you have. These are outlined and grouped to make choosing ingredients intuitive. I have a profile selector where you can choose by flavor, strength, body or mood. At the bottom I have three buttons , button one lets you choose if drinks are sorted or strictly matched. The last button allows the user to see the drinks they can make based on ingredients they have.This is done by matching the ingredients with a locally placed drinks list which contains a drink id, drink name, ingredients and profile informatio
