Reply to Foundation Models support in Swift Playgrounds | SSC26
The fundamental issue here is that Swift Playground does not currently support the iOS 26 SDK )-: Unfortunately I don’t have any good answer for that. I’ve been pointing folks in your situation to this thread, and I’ll post updates there if and when they occur.

Reply to Does an app relying on CoreLocation (GPS) fit the Swift Student Challenge judging criteria?
I want to draw your attention to the following quote from the fine print: Create an app playground that can be experienced within three minutes. Given that, I think it’s unrealistic for you to expect the judges to evaluate your submission in real-world conditions. If I were in your shoes I’d do two things: Pre-populate your submission with data that demonstrates how things work. Leave the real code in place, so that if a judge gets super enthusiastic they can try things out properly. Finally, part of creating a good app for Apple platforms is making sure that you honour the user’s privacy choices, so you want to make sure that: Your app behaves sensibly if the judge choose not to share their location. You have a well-considered privacy usage string that explains why you want this info and what happens if they don’t share.

Reply to OnDemand VPN connection stuck in NO INTERNET
[quote='876733022, disinghal, /thread/811887?answerId=876733022#876733022, /profile/disinghal'] URL Session is calling a public endpoint. [/quote] Right, but you’ve set up your on-demand rules to say that everything generates demand. It’d be interesting to see what happens if you configure your on-demand rules to only generate demand what you load a URL that’s behind the VPN. I suspect it’ll work consistently, but if you find that’s not the case then that’d be an interesting datapoint. [quote='876733022, disinghal, /thread/811887?answerId=876733022#876733022, /profile/disinghal'] It happens intermittently. [/quote] Fair enough. But that doesn’t really contradict the position I explained above. You’ve set yourself up for failure and that you only fail in some cases. That’s a win, right? (-: Seriously though, I don’t think I’m going to be able to help you further here. You are clearly exploring the limits of what’s possible.

Reply to Persistent Tokens for Keychain Unlock in Platform SSO
[quote='876709022, siddhant-mac, /thread/815755?answerId=876709022#876709022, /profile/siddhant-mac'] is it possible on the macOS login window? [/quote] That depends on what you mean by “it”: If you’re asking whether it’s possible to reuse infrastructure used by Platform SSO then the answer is “No.” If you’re asking whether it’s possible to create an authorisation plug-in that presents a completely passwordless experience, the answer is more nuanced. You can certainly make a lot of progress, but I don’t think there’s a complete solution. Sticking points involve FileVault, as I’ve mentioned above, and unlocking the keychain. This is especially problematic when it comes to the data protection keychain. Honestly, I don’t see a good path forward for this. The authorisation plug-in mechanism has significant issues, and I’m doubtful they’ll be addressed because of limitations in that architecture. Specifically, FileVault support is pretty critical and it’s hard to see how that can happen within the current design.

Reply to App Store Connect API ProfileCreateRequest is missing template property
I’m not an expert on the App Store Connect API, but I can speak to this part of your question: [quote='816166021, Misko_, /thread/816166, /profile/Misko_'] there is a possibility to set Entitlements, which is I understand also called as Template. [/quote] The entitlement template feature is very much an old school path. These days most access to managed entitlements is via additional capabilities. Like any other capability, you set these on your App ID and they flow through to every provisioning profile [1] you create for that App ID. These capabilities have a bunch of advantages, including Xcode integration, compatibility with automatic signing, and the ability to add any combination of the capabilities to a given profile. Given that, the template mechanism is largely deprecated. If you have existing templates you can request that they be migrated to additional capabilities. See Developer Account Help > Reference > Provisioning with capabilities > Migrating additional entitlements to capabilities. T

Reply to Notarization Stuck
You can expect that most uploads will be notarised quickly. Occasionally, some uploads are held for in-depth analysis and may take longer to complete. As you notarise your apps, the system will learn how to recognise them, and you should see fewer delays. For lots of additional info about notarisation, see Notarisation Resources. Specifically, it links to a Q&A with the notary service team that’s quite instructive.

Reply to Timed-Wait for main thread
[quote='816179021, GangOrca, /thread/816179, /profile/GangOrca'] Whereas, with conditional variables, there are no warnings. [/quote] I wouldn’t read too much into that. These warnings have to be explicitly coded, and we added that code for Dispatch semaphores because that’s the most common offender here. It wouldn’t surprise me if we added a similar warning for pthread condition variables at some point in the future. Then again, it wouldn’t surprise me if we didn’t. The pthreads API is relatively obscure. [quote='816179021, GangOrca, /thread/816179, /profile/GangOrca'] What is the recommend way? [/quote] There isn’t a supported way to block the main thread of a GUI application for long periods of time. On macOS it will SPOD, which is a terrible user experience. On other platforms the app will likely end up being killed by the watchdog. And to be clear, the issue here isn’t about the specific APIs you’re using, it’s this overall design. Speaking of iOS and friends, app termination [1] behaves very differently
