“A Summary of the WWDC26 Group Lab”

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

If I only have one product item in Apple Pay, how would I detect a total? My app is a donation platform, so I don't need to actually ship anything, but would like contact info. I have a number of errors that I have tried to figure out to debug to no avail. Any help is appreciated.Also I keep getting this error (this was the same as the sample code given from WWDC).This is in my BuyTicketViewController.swift file. if PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController.canMakePaymentsUsingNetworks(BuyTicketViewController.paymentNetworks) { let button = PKPaymentButton(type: .Buy, style,: .Black) button.addTarget(self, action: applePayButtonPressed, forControlEvents: .TouchUpInside) button.center = applePayView.center button.autoresizingMask = [.FlexibleLeftMargin, .FlexibleRightMarin] applePayView.addSubview(button) } }The error says 'expected declaration.'The sample says to use else (for traditional checkout). When I put that it, it breaks the rest of my code and I get lots of errors.line 8 - eror on MerchantIDline 9 - error

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?

I am developing a Mac app that makes use of App Scripting. The is Sandboxed and thus needs the proper entitlements in order to get permissions to send AppleScript events to other apps. I have gotten this working properly for apps (like Mail and spotify) which specify access-group identifiers like this:<access-group identifier=com.apple.mail.compose access=rw/> <access-group identifier=com.spotify.playback/>However, a few other of the Apple made apps (like Xcode) specify their identifiers like this:<access-group identifier=*/>I have tried to configure my entitlement file like this:<key>com.apple.security.scripting-targets</key> <dict> <key>com.apple.dt.Xcode</key> <array> <string>*</string> </array> </dict>, but when doing this it does not work and I get this error message in the console:AppleEvents/sandbox: Returning errAEPrivilegeError/-10004 and denying dispatch of event xcod/buld from process '

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

I recently changed my developer account from account A to account B. I have successfully transferred my applications. With transfer of applications my app group was not migrated. Question - Can I deleted the app group from account A and recreate it in account B with the exact same identifier. If means does it affects the live users. Which means does the live user can able to use our application without any data loss(Logout)

If I use SubscriptionStoreView.init(groupID), it seems to be able to look up all the Products that have that subscription group ID. But I don't see any public method for doing that myself. Am I missing something, or is SubscriptionStoreView using a private method to do this lookup? I know that historically it has always been necessary to know the product IDs of all the products you want to sell; you have never been able to ask Store Kit to give you a list. SubscriptionStoreView doesn't seem to have this limitation, which is a bit surprising.
