How to enable App Groups without Developer Account in Xcode7.3 or Xcode8

Hi, I have pseudo code for a repeating task of work: api_call(/status) { tif response.statusCode == 418 { ttapi_call(/rotate-credentials) { ... } t} telse { ttdoSomeWork() t} tsleep(60) tapi_call(/status) } I want to make a call to /status roughly every 60 seconds, but if the response is a 418 then I want to complete a call to /rotate-credentials before continuing with the next status request. There are other api calls going on as well, triggered by user interaction. These other api calls should wait until the /status call is completed in full (including if a credential rotation is triggered). This implies a serial queue? But that won't wait for the completions to finish, so I should be looking at a dispatch group enter(), leave() and wait() right? I can't find/understand from the docs where completion handlers go, in terms of execution, relative to dispatch queues. So where is the completion handler execution of the subsequent call to /rotate-credentials ? If I wrap the status call in a dispatch group

The profile expiration date is approaching, and no amount of inquiries will solve it. Create a new profile Download a new profile from Xcode Press archive, press Distribute App, press Enterprise, and distribute Invalid expiration date in profile of summary of review app.ipa content I've tried everything that comes out by Googleing profiles, such as regenerating profiles, erasing caches, updating Xcode, updating macOS, deleting existing profile information, etc. Expiration date different from the expiration date of the profile created in that menu is displayed. The expiration date of the profile I created is December 8, 2026, and the previous certificate is January 22, 2026. However, the profile information of the generated ipa is February 12, 2026. So I can't distribute this app because I'm scared, and the expiration date is coming up. Users should have a period of time to update. Get me a novice developer who's choking up.

I know it was not possible previously, but wonder have things changed to support transfer of apps with this condition: Sandboxed Group Container You can only transfer sandboxed apps that are not sharing a group container. Our old company is having some issues and cannot continue, and would like to transfer to another company without doing the binary reassignment process which loses all the reviews. Thank you!

Hi everyone! I have two subscription groups (Small Package, Large Package) each with two subscriptions (Monthly, Annual). I want to offer two months free to each new user (i.e. a user that never had ANY Subscription). Do you know if/how can I do that? Options considered up to now that are not working: duplicate each subscription (i.e. monthly, monthly_freetier, annual, annual_freetier). However, even if in my application I display either only the freetier or only the other ones, the user sees all 4 in the apple store Set up an Introductory offer on every subscription (works as desired within the same group, but not across different groups) Do you have any suggestion? PS. I am using revenuecat to retrieve the user purchase history.

Recently I have added new purchases in subscription group, now many users are complaining of getting charged for multiple subscription in the same group. Can somebody please help me in understanding in terms of consumer, how it will proceed?. As per documentation user should have been charged only with the newly chosen subscription and should have received partial refund for the older one.

Is it not possible to test Group Activities without a paid developer account? I don't see Group Activities in Signing & Capabilities in Xcode. I'm looking to try adding support for my app but unable to try this myself and just seeing if I need a paid developer account to do so?

Hello, I’m experiencing a strange issue with a newly created Subscription Group in my iOS app. For all my existing subscription groups, everything works perfectly — initial purchase, renewals, cancellations, all notifications arrive normally. But for this one newly created group, the first purchase never triggers any server notification from App Store Server Notifications (ASSN). ⸻ 📘 Problem Summary • I created a new Subscription Group in App Store Connect. • The products are all Approved and Published for over a week. • Users can successfully purchase the subscription in production. • The purchase is shown as Purchased in the App Store purchase UI. • The receipt can be fetched locally on device. • But my server receives no notifications, including: • DID_RENEW • DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_STATUS • SUBSCRIBED • ONE_TIME_CHARGE • CONSUMPTION_REQUEST • etc. The old subscription groups still send notifications normally, so the notification URL and server infrastruct

I am working on a widget that allows the user to specify a list of items. Each item is an AppEntity and has an id, a type and a name. In the DisplayRepresentation I have and icon / image for each type. So when I tap on the specified items option a list of user specified items comes up with the option to search, select, deselect items. This works nicely. I sort them suggested entities by type then name so the list is predictable. How would like to be able to have a group / type header for each type of item. However, I don't know how to do that with the AppEntities. Help would be appreciated. I noticed that HomeKit takes a different approach. They have a list of items at the bottom labeled Choose Scene Or Accessory. You can move the items up / down in the list, you can delete, and add items. When you tap Add an item in the list it goes to a search screen where the items are grouped by the room and have the individual items beneath them. I don't like that you have to select one item at a time b

So I only recently uncovered the Contacts Framework through this video: https://youtu.be/sHKir2ZMk5Q. As such I'm not yet accustomed to the API. Basically my main problem is that I can't seem to find a way to access the name of the group a CNContact is in. The only support I can find is in Apple's own documentation, which isn't very helpful. if someone could point me in the right direction towards how to print the group name, I would be very grateful. My code is below, Cheers // ModelData.swift // B-Day import Foundation import Contacts import SwiftUI struct Contact: Identifiable { let id = UUID() let category: String let firstName: String let lastName: String let birthday: DateComponents? } func fetchAllContacts() async -> [Contact] { var contacts = [Contact]() let store = CNContactStore() let keys = [CNContactGivenNameKey, CNContactFamilyNameKey, CNContactBirthdayKey, CNContactIdentifierKey, CNGroupNameKey] as [CNKeyDescriptor] let fetchRequest = CNContactFetchRequest (keysToFetch: keys
