A Summary of the WWDC25 Group Lab

Question:Since in-app purchases still cannot be managed by MDM, how does Apple plan to address managing applications that may move to a subscription model?Follow up: What is Apple's recommended approach for managing free applications with in app purchases? Device based assigned apps cannot purchase any in app purchases.Answer:In-app purchases are tied to a customer's Apple ID, rather than the VPP-purchased app. The challenge is finding a way to have that purchase be tied back to the original VPP-purchased license which was device-assigned.Apple has not yet found a good way to associate the in-app purchase back to that VPP-purchased license. They're aware of the issue and are working on it, but no solution is yet available.Subscriptions have a similar issue, since the subscription may be renewed or not renewed. The price of the subscription may also change. Apple is also working on this issue, but no solution is yet available.File bugs on this issue.See complete list of session and lab notes here:http

Hi, I was wondering when the Developer Lab sessions be held in coming September, particularly in Tokyo and Shanghai. I need to apply and plan the trip soon, and it would be a great help. Thank you and wish you all a great day.

I'm using the GLM http://glm.g-truc.net/0.9.8/index.htmlmath library for an opengl game in c++. Xcode's LLVM debugger simply will not reliably show summaries of the basic data types (glm::dvec2, glm::dmat4, etc). Instead, I get Summary Unavailable and when I click the disclosure triangle next to the data item, nothing is revealed. If I use the LLVM repl, e.g., I type e some_vec I get output like: (glm::dvec2) $0 = {} - which is not helpful.I've tried setting custom summary formats.~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Debugger/CustomDataFormatters <SummaryFormatter formatString = ({$VAR.x},{$VAR.y}) type = glm::dvec2> </SummaryFormatter>No luck!Any suggestions?Thanks,

Hello, I have noticed when taking a GPU Capture on IOS that the texture memory numbers seen on the Summary Page is much higher than what I see when viewing the Memory tab. I have also found that when totaling the allocated size of all the textures in the Memory tab, it equals the numbers seen on the Summary page, but not in the Memory tab itself. I am curious as to which numbers I should be trusting when using this tool.

Hi,I am trying to reconcile the daily sales summary for trial purchase('Customer Price'=0.00 AND Subscription=New) and Status Notification event received from Apple with type=INITIAL_BUY. On doing this, there is some discrepancies in the count(3 to 10%).Could someone provide more insight on how to tally this count between notification vs daily sales summary report?Also what is the timezone used in Sales and Trends report generated in http://itunesconnect.apple.com/.?Thanks & RegardsShan

I am creating manually signed coupon style passes which group together in a user's Wallet; however, I need to separate groups of coupon passes by multiple business units. I have changed the organizationName; however, all of my passes still group together. I tried creating a new certificate; but, seem to only be able to create a new certificate with the same passTypeIdentifier, and passes still group together.So, what is the proper way to separate a group of coupon style Wallet passes by business unit and avoid them being grouped all together?Thanks in advance for any help...-Allen M.

I (think) I just signed up for the Apple Vision Pro developer labs - but am not sure if it went as intended. After submitting my screenshots - I was pushed to a screen prompting me to sign-out of my Apple account. No indication I successfully submitted a request / no email. Has that been other people's experience?

I'm wondering how the data in Summary Sales report is aggregated. Does Apple aggregate refunds and sales together?Say, if a specific product have 2 sales and 1 refunds, and the price is $5. Will the corresponding report have 1 row saying 1 sale for $5 or have 2 rows saying 2 sales for $5 each and 1 refund for -$5?
