Is there a way to detect the activation of "Safari's advanced protection against the tracking ..." ?
When creating an AddtoCalendar (ics, google, yahoo, outlook) Safari detects tracking only for outlook.live and outlook.office via the url used to add an event to the online calendar. I would like to inform web users that if this option is activated and they want to add the event to their online outlook calendar, they will need to temporarily deactivate this security feature! Is it possible to detect this option in jsx? Would there be a solution, like requesting authorisation to locate on a website, to allow only this url or this site (outlook.live or outlook.office) for tracking? I'm obviously thinking of something simple for the web user: a button to click.

Declare user data tracking if it's disabled completely in third-party SDK
I have an app where I'm integrating the Branch.io SDK for deeplinks. I plan to use it just for deeplinks and that's it. The SDK provides it's own privacy manifest file with privacy tracking domains defined and some collected data types with "Used for Tracking" set to YES. Does anyone know if I can keep tracking disabled in the App Store Connect - App Privacy section in case if I'll configure the SDK to disable tracking completely without asking users with the ATT permission request?

Clarification on ATT Dialog and Displaying Ads in iOS App
Hello everyone, I have recently published my app on the App Store and am planning to implement ads. I have a couple of questions regarding Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) framework and best practices for integrating ads. ATT Dialog and Showing Ads: If a user selects "Ask App Not to Track" on the ATT dialog, am I still allowed to show ads in my app? I understand that ATT restricts tracking for personalized ads, but does this mean I cannot show any ads at all, or is it just the personalized (targeted) ads that are restricted? Best Practices for Implementing Native Ads: I want to integrate native ads into my app. Could you share any best practices or guidelines for integrating native ads in a way that provides a good user experience and complies with Apple's policies? I’m especially interested in how to implement them in a non-intrusive way and what ad networks are best for this type of integration. Thanks for your help!

We were unable to review the app because it crashed on launch.
Hello, our app gets rejected as it crashes on launch. According to the logs, it happens because the app attempts to access private-sensitive data. We don't collect any of personal data, so it is probably done by Google Firebase embedded in the app (Core, Firestore, Auth). Maybe you have met similar cases and know any of Firebase settings that disable attempts of accessing privacy-sensitive data? We already set FirebaseDataCollectionDefaultEnabled to NO in info.plist, but it still not enough. Maybe error in facebook sdk? Before that it was written that there was an error when starting the ipad air 5 Log1 Log2 Log3

Identify what is being dragged globally
I would like to implement the same kind of behavior as the Dropoverapp application, specifically being able to perform a specific action when files are dragged (such as opening a window, for example). I have written the code below to capture the mouse coordinates, drag, drop, and click globally. However, I don't know how to determine the nature of what is being dropped. Do you have any ideas on how to detect the nature of what is being dragged outside the application's scope? Here is my current code: import SwiftUI import CoreGraphics struct ContentView: View { @State private var mouseX: CGFloat = 0.0 @State private var mouseY: CGFloat = 0.0 @State private var isClicked: Bool = false @State private var isDragging: Bool = false private var mouseTracker = MouseTracker.shared var body: some View { VStack { Text("Mouse coordinates: \(mouseX, specifier: "%.2f"), \(mouseY, specifier: "%.2f")") .padding() Text(isClicked ? "Mouse is clicked" : "Mouse is not clicked") .padding() Text(isDragging ? "Mouse is dragging" : "Mouse is not dragging") .padding() } .frame(width: 400, height: 200) .onAppear { mouseTracker.startTracking { newMouseX, newMouseY, newIsClicked, newIsDragging in self.mouseX = newMouseX self.mouseY = newMouseY self.isClicked = newIsClicked self.isDragging = newIsDragging } } } } class MouseTracker { static let shared = MouseTracker() private var eventTap: CFMachPort? private var runLoopSource: CFRunLoopSource? private var isClicked: Bool = false private var isDragging: Bool = false private var callback: ((CGFloat, CGFloat, Bool, Bool) -> Void)? func startTracking(callback: @escaping (CGFloat, CGFloat, Bool, Bool) -> Void) { self.callback = callback let mask: CGEventMask = (1 << CGEventType.mouseMoved.rawValue) | (1 << CGEventType.leftMouseDown.rawValue) | (1 << CGEventType.leftMouseUp.rawValue) | (1 << CGEventType.leftMouseDragged.rawValue) // Pass 'self' via 'userInfo' let selfPointer = UnsafeMutableRawPointer(Unmanaged.passUnretained(self).toOpaque()) guard let eventTap = CGEvent.tapCreate( tap: .cghidEventTap, place: .headInsertEventTap, options: .defaultTap, eventsOfInterest: mask, callback: MouseTracker.mouseEventCallback, userInfo: selfPointer ) else { print("Failed to create event tap") return } self.eventTap = eventTap runLoopSource = CFMachPortCreateRunLoopSource(kCFAllocatorDefault, eventTap, 0) CFRunLoopAddSource(CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), runLoopSource, .commonModes) CGEvent.tapEnable(tap: eventTap, enable: true) } // Static callback function private static let mouseEventCallback: CGEventTapCallBack = { _, eventType, event, userInfo in guard let userInfo = userInfo else { return Unmanaged.passUnretained(event) } // Retrieve the instance of MouseTracker from userInfo let tracker = Unmanaged<MouseTracker>.fromOpaque(userInfo).takeUnretainedValue() let location = NSEvent.mouseLocation // Update the click and drag state switch eventType { case .leftMouseDown: tracker.isClicked = true tracker.isDragging = false case .leftMouseUp: tracker.isClicked = false tracker.isDragging = false case .leftMouseDragged: tracker.isDragging = true default: break } // Call the callback on the main thread DispatchQueue.main.async { tracker.callback?(location.x, location.y, tracker.isClicked, tracker.isDragging) } return Unmanaged.passUnretained(event) } }

Walking speed
I´m working within the health felid with a few apps. Accordingly to science one of the most important parts to keep healthy is every day walking. But it is not to walk slow. You need to come to a little speed (not running or even jogging). But to rais your puls. This is when you get the "real health effect". In general it is around 6km/h. It would be great if apple could make this info available for us developers. I think lots of developers will be happa and use this to make better apps and get more people in a healtheyer life. Looking forward to get some feedback on this. Thank you! Cheers Peter

Does iPhone 15 Pro Use a Single Microphone or Multiple Microphones for Voice and Sound Recognition?
Hello, I have a question regarding the voice and sound recognition features on the iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 15 Pro is equipped with four microphones, and I understand that for features like Apple’s sound recognition and when invoking Siri, the microphone(s) must always be active. My question is whether the device uses a single microphone (mono channel) for these functions or if multiple microphones are activated simultaneously. I would appreciate clarification on how the microphones are utilized in sound and voice recognition features. Thank you for your assistance. Best regards.

Tracking Transparency
Long story short. My app tracks users via cookies and allows them to see relevant ads and such. Apple wants me to implement App Tracking via Xcode. The issue is I am running on Windows OS and do not have the ability to make the changes needed to get this app approved. The app was built through a 3rd party app building site, and they have no solutions at this time. So not unless someone has an idea on how to make these changes myself, I am all ears.

App Rejected: Legal: Privacy - Data Collection and Storage
The app does not meet all requirements for apps that offer highly regulated services or handle sensitive user data. Specifically: The account that submits the app must be enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an organization, and not as an individual. The guideline 5.1.1(ix) requirements give users confidence that apps operating in highly regulated fields or that require sensitive user information are qualified to provide these services and will responsibly manage their data. Next Steps To resolve this issue, it would be appropriate to take the following steps: The app must be submitted through an Apple Developer Program account enrolled as an organization. You may either enroll in a new Apple Developer Program account as an organization, or request that your individual account be converted to an organization account by contacting Apple Developer Support. Please note that you cannot resolve this issue with documentation showing permission to publish this app on behalf of the content owner or institution. Resources Learn how to transfer apps between accounts. Request a fee waiver for nonprofit organizations, accredited educational institutions, or government entities. Support Reply to this message in your preferred language if you need assistance. If you need additional support, use the Contact Us module. Consult with fellow developers and Apple engineers on the Apple Developer Forums. Help improve the review process or identify a need for clarity in our policies by suggesting guideline changes. Request a phone call from App Review At your request, we can arrange for an Apple Representative to call you within the next three to five business days to discuss your App Review issue.

app migration has been found to cause a change in the team ID
app migration has been found to cause a change in the team ID. The Associated Domians section of Xcode includes the team ID. If the transfer is completed, will the team ID that has already installed my Nanjing app automatically change? If not, how can I ensure compatibility between the new and old versions
