How to spot an M1-capable iOS app in VPP metadata

I know how to spot a "universal" app in the App Store metadata (devicefamily array includes mac, app kind is iosSoftware), but how can I spot an iOS app that will allow M1 Mac install in the metadata currently? I know that developers have the ability to exempt macOS on Apple silicon from running some iOS apps, and I want to make sure that's respected when we're doing MDM assignment of applications.

Does Apple really take a 30% fee on Donations?

Hi, My name is Michael Morphis and I'm a Yoga and Meditation teacher. I've been offering some Fee/Donation based classes through Insight Timer, which has an app in the App Store. I was told by Insight Timer that Apple levies a 30% tax on all Donations because the App is hosted in the App Store. Is this correct? If it is, it seems so very wrong. Apple is literally the richest company in the world, and while I understand they are that rich and successful because they know how run a business, it seems like there are times and places where doing the right thing should come before making more profit. We are out here trying to offer something healing and wholesome, most of us just scraping by, and because what we're offering winds up being free to a vast majority of participants, who are perhaps unable to pay, losing 30% of what small donations we do get is a major hit. We're trying to help people have happier and healthier lives. Our main intention is to be helpful and positive, not to be selfish profiteers. That being said, many of us are trying to earn a living with this work as well. It's so generous of people to be giving anything at all, and I think these donors would be shocked, disappointed and downright angry to know that Apple is getting so much of their Donations. Perhaps I don't have the whole story here, or Insight Timer is engaged in some interesting bookkeeping practices, but when I called Apple they told me this was the place to start getting answers, so here I am, initially wanting to confirm whether or not this is true. If it is true, I am going to begin a campaign to change this policy on Donations. Apple, you're an amazing company- I own a 2 Mac Minis, a Mac Air M1, two iPads, 2 iPencils etc. Please, make your billions from your incredible products, in-app purchases, subscriptions, and paid app downloads etc., but please, with Donations, give the little guys, out here trying to help and do the world some good, a break, and let the Donations flow without this really brutal tax.

XCode Not letting me upload archive to app store

Not able to upload the archive to my app store app. XCode is throwing error that I do not have "private key" installed for the distribution certificate I am using, when in fact I have the distribution certificate installed on the keychain and also have exported it as a .p12 key file. I have also tried removing the certificate and add it again from the "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles" page from my developer account but with no use. I don't know where I am going wrong here.

Could an underscore in app name affect indexing?

I'm developing an application with an underscore ("_") present in the app's name. Let's suppose "tes_t" is the name. In a search containing only "tes", will "test_t" be in the result? Does underscores affect in some way application indexing?

Reviews and Ratings and searchability in app store

We recently launched our app and have a few folks that were part of our beta who submitted ratings and written reviews. But they aren't showing up. Any idea why? Our app is not very visible through search and I assume this comes into play with the search results algorithm so would definitely like to get to the bottom of it! Would take suggestions on how to make our app more visible as well! Yes we ARE paying for Apple search and still not showing up!

App Store Review Guideline 5.1.1(v): What is understood as OFFERING the account deletion WITHIN the app

The newly updated App Store Review Guideline 5.1.1(v) states that: ... If your app supports account creation, you must also offer account deletion within the app. ... The guideline leaves two important questions open: What does it mean to offer the account deletion? Is it enough to point the user to the website, email, ... or does the deletion need to be completed within the app? Does Apple expect a simple account deletion (in the sense of inactivation) or a full delete-all-my-data request? Is there a statement from Apple which specifies these details or has someone already receive an app rejection for it?

Apple developer account under 18 years old?

Hi!I'm a student and 14 years old and I'm near to release an application on the App Store. I have heard that I can't create a developer account because I'm under 18 years old. Is that true? If yes, is there another possible way that I can get my app on the app store. Preferably I would like to have it under my own name instead of my parents.Can I create a developer account or not?Thanks for all the answers!Friendly regards,Edwin

Is the "Complete My Bundle" option going away? Or just completely broken?

I've had some customers being charged the full price for an App Store bundle, despite having purchased apps that are part of the bundle, with the "Complete My Bundle" option simply not showing for them.Equally, Apple's support page about Complete My Bundle and Complete my Album etc. has now been deleted, it was previously found here just a few months/weeks ago: https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201162Is this just abandoned now? Google's cache shows the page was still online in late Jan 2020: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:4Iaj-TcDtH8J:https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201162+&amp;cd=3&amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk&amp;gl=ukThe developer page about App Bundles does mention Complete My Bundle, but this is now the only reference to it on the Apple website anywhere: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/app-bundles/Anybody else noticed this?

App Store Review Exploit

Long story short, someone is spamming the name of my app in the other apps' store reviews, by other apps I mean my competitors. I've gotten serval complaints and a legal notice from my competitors' companies. I've reported this to the Apple but all they said was they are looking into this. I'm wondering if there's anything I should do now other than waiting for their reply? Or has anybody had this kind of stuff happened before? I can tell someone is trying to instigate conflict between me and the competitor Apps, and have my app removed or something. I looked at the review history on Appannie and found it is only happening to my app, and they used a bot crawl the old reviews and switched the name of the apps with the name of my app. Any advance would be appreciated.
