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

I want to ask a question about App Transfer. We have succesfully transferred our iOS app to new developer account. App ID and bundle is transferred but there is no app group id and push notification certificate in new developer account.Our database is stored in the app group container and have to create same app group id in new developer account. I want to ask you if there is any risk to delete old app group id from old account and re-create the same app group id in new developer account. Will any App Store users affect data lose or etc ?Or, is there any other way to transfer App Group ID to new developer account ?Thanks

I have an iOS game with one Game Center leaderboard. Recently I published the game and it works fine with no issues. Then I did light version of the game and I'd like to use the same leaderboard for both games. I combined both versions of the game into the Game Center Group and modified leaderboard ID, because Apple requires to start group leaderboard names with grp..Now, if I load scores I receive nil. But if I firstly submit some score and load after that I receive only score for the local player. I checked the leaderboard on itunesconnect and I know for sure that there are a lot of records in the leaderboard. The leaderboard is the same as it was before combining into the group. I thought that Game Center needs some time to update, but I've waited about several days and still see no changing.Do I do something wrong? Or this is just a Game Center bug?I found some similar issues here but with no reply. Does anyone has any ideas? Any help appreciated!

Hi, I'm developing an app with a functionality to invite and add members to a group (the back-end work is already done, but I'm looking for better front-end). For this functionality, I need the ability to... Show current members (after they have accepted the invite). The ability to see pending invitations. The ability to delete either pending invitations or current members. Does anyone know of any existing snippets that I could implement for this front-end functionality?

Hi all, after I pushed the build on testfight but I cannot add the build to groups for internal testing. Please help to addvice

That's a watch error I cannot get rid of.I have created a group at the bottom of the view (that seem to be important).In the group, a label and a slider.I would like to hide the group at start, then show it after some action has been done.So, in awake, I setHidden(true) for the group.But, I get multiple context errors like:App Watch Extension[11882:866609] [Unknown process name] CGContextSetFillColorWithColor: invalid context 0x0. If you want to see the backtrace, please set CG_CONTEXT_SHOW_BACKTRACE environmental variable.App Watch Extension[11882:866609] [Unknown process name] CGContextSetStrokeColorWithColor: invalid context 0x0. If you want to see the backtrace, please set CG_CONTEXT_SHOW_BACKTRACE environmental variable.If I replace setHidden by setting alpha to 0, I succeed in hiding, but that's not exactly the same layout.I found this SO, but the solution does not work for me.https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32236204/cgcontextsavegstate-invalid-context-0x0-error-only-on-de

I’m trying to create a layout with a group of labels / tags. The labels have a flexible width and height. If a label exceeds the width of the container it should grow in height. I’m using a UICollectionView with a compositional layout to create this layout. At first I used estimated for the width and height dimension of the layout items within a horizontal group layout that had an fractionalWidth and an estimated height. This worked but only if the cells with the labels were smaller than the group width. If they are larger, the app crashes. Somewhere on StackOverflow I read that this is a known issue. To fix the issue above I made the main group a vertical layout and created a different group for every row of labels. If the labels width exceeds the width of the group I give if a fractional width and if it’s smaller I give it an estimated width. This approach prevents the crashed above and gives me my desired layout. But… as soon as I rotate the device of c

In a watch app, if I put a label inside a Group , setText() does not change the text on a label when it is inside a Group.The demo code:@IBOutlet var pinLocationText: WKInterfaceLabel! @IBAction func pinButtonPress() { pinLocationText.setText(Reset) }executes correctly when pinLocationText is outside a Group, but fails to display the text when the label is inside a Group.So, how do I update the display value of a Label when it is inside a Group?

I'm trying to share cached data between a tvOS app and a TVService extension. I crated an app group and get a directory based on the identifier. All works fine in the simulator. On the tvOS dev kit however the app does not have write permission the app group directory.I realize the restrictions on tvOS but shared cache data in app groups should be possible according the FAQ:For temporary local storage, apps may access the NSTemporaryDirectory and NSCachesDirectory in their own container, or NSCachesDirectory in a shared container.So how do I get access to the caches in the app group container? has anybody here got this working?

Are there current plans to implement Microsoft 365 groups with Platform SSO to control administrator access in macOS 27? If so, would you be able to provide a rough estimate of when we can expect changes to be implemented by identity providers?

We are implementing auto-renewable subscriptions on iOS. We face a problem where users can purchase multiple subscriptions on a single Apple ID linked to the device. We are having 3 subscription plans as Regular (Monthly), Regular (Yearly), and Special (Yearly). Now, we have decided that Regular plans will be configured in a separate subscription group and special plan on the other since we don't want the Regular users to know that there is a special plan that is less costly than theirs. (Through Manage Subscription of the device Settings) Scenario 1: If User A subscribes to the Special plan on his Apple Id, his subscription gets active. Now, if on the same Apple ID, user B logs in to the app and is a Regular user then he can purchase any of the Regular plans. But the issue is User A's receipt and User B's receipt cause problems sometime later since their receipts are created on the same Apple ID. We are not able to restrict User B to purchase from User A's device in this case, since the original_tra

I get the distinct feeling, based on the WWDC presentations, that group iMessage apps are either incomplete or not really thought out. Add to this that there are no group conversations possible in the simulator. The group message part of the demo was just a couple of slides and he used the phrase we are recommending for the moment which leads me to believe that Apple probably has unfinished business here. I think that the idea of making MSSession the carrier of data and make each subsequent message create a stack of unprocessed responses so that when the user clicks on the bubble it sees each response and can process them one by one. What I'm wondering is, in the same section, they talk about privacy. So each device will get different identifiers for each user. If you are using the cloud, I don't see how you can then aggregate responses correctly. Take this scenario:I send an iMessage App (IMA) to two of my friends and it asks them to pick what they want for lunch.Friend A responds

I know that Apple is very aware of privacy concerns. Do Share Play and Group Activities comply with GDPR's legal rules? What kind of servers (e.g. geography) are involved to manage the connection? Thanks Lars
