We have this issue too. How can our iOS engineering team do their jobs without access to testflight if we adopt managed apple ids? The only reference on the topic is here: https://support.apple.com/guide/apple-business-essentials/service-access-with-managed-apple-accounts-axm171b3ee95/web which cites privacy concerns as a nebulous non-reason. Our teams that own mobile software need to use testflight to test release-track builds.

Thank you for the detailed reply! So, the first question here is what are you actually trying to do? I’m adding a bulk import feature to my shoebox app. The user selects a folder, and the app walks the directory hierarchy looking for files of the type it supports (suppose they’re images for example’s sake). The app extracts image metadata by parsing the file, and then copies the image into a “Library” package if everything was successful. More the point, the public file system is also much more dynamic so the longer it takes to scan, the more likely it is that whatever you've scanned has ALREADY changed. The folder selected by the user is a user-visible one which may be dataless or have dataless contents. Ideally files would only be downloaded if they’re actually image files, which is why I brought up immediatelyAvailableMetadataOnly. This is a good point, though, thanks; I had this idea that I’d want to get a consistent snapshot of the entire hierarchy without any “tearing”, but I suppose there’s little reas

I closed FB20503913 as it was opened under the wrong account. FB20548529 was opened.

I see this problem occuring on verizon.com signin page which is keep me from signing in to my account. Note, I have nothing to do with verizon other than being a customer.

I’m trying to extract information from all files of a particular type, so I think using NSFileCoordinator.ReadingOptions.immediatelyAvailableMetadataOnly on each file before acquiring a full read lock on it (if it’s the right file type) would make sense. Am I on the right track? So, the first question here is what are you actually trying to do? The problem here is that, by design, file systems are basically shared databases with minimal locking, which means that file coordination for JUST metadata isn't necessarily all that useful. As a concrete example, take a basic task like calculating the size of the directory. You do that by summing up the size of every file, but it's always possible for a file you've looked at to change after you've looked at it, at which point the size of the directory is no longer right. Now, adding file coordination into that process may (depending on the configuration you pick) change the answer you get, but that's only because it delayed writes later than they wou

First off, a comment here: Both types of accessories/devices can be commissioned in the HomeKit ecosystem seamlessly. Each framework has its documentation: HAP: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/homekit/hmhomemanager CHIP: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/matter While the frameworks are conceptually similar, I think it's a mistake to think of them as direct equivalents to each other. The Matter framework is the easier of the two to explain— it's a hardware control framework you use to send commands to Matter accessories. There's a little bit of nuance in that you need to do pairing through the MatterSupport framework, but once you're paired, the behavior of the framework is relatively straightforward. However, that's not really how HomeKit works. HomeKit works at a much higher level than that and is basically manipulating the Home Ecosystem that's built on top of HomeKit. So, for example, when you call a basic API like HMCharacteristic.writeValue(...), what that actually does could be one of
