Wrong screens are displayed
Hi Team, We have different screens for our app in different countries. When we created the latest version, we copied the screens for UK from the default version (US). However, with the latest release, the wrong screens are now displayed. The screenshots that are now displayed for UK, are stored for Australia and were also used in a much older version for UK. However, we cannot explain why the wrong screens for the UK are now displayed after the successful release. For US the new screens are displayed correctly.Because we see the right screens for UK in the interface (backend). Can anyone know why this happend ? Thanks for your help.

Organization (Health/University) desires a mobile app for their content currently stored in CMS
Hello, I'm working with a health / university organization that wants a mobile application for their educational content. (In short, it's CMS / course content. Similar to what you could build in WordPress or BlackBoard.) One idea is that we could wrap an app around a webview to render CMS content. My concern is that the app could be rejected due to Apple's guidelines on apps having to provide a unique, value-added experience for mobile: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#minimum-functionality I understand this, but given that this is a health/university organization and having a mobile app is a requirement for their contracts, would we still be able to push the app forward? To add onto this, our other option is to use the CMS in a headless way and render HTML through native components using a plugin, but it will still be quite some time before we would have an experienced truly catered to native / mobile. I can see that there are a good number of "information" apps from other organizations, that I could see being rejected for these same guidelines but weren't... so I think we have at least a half-decent chance of making our case, but: I don't want to take any chances and I need to know what to tell the organization stakeholders what they should do regarding the app through their business / organizational account. Has anyone has any experience with this?

Custom app is mandatory?
Hi, I have a quick and simple question: If I want to release an app that is intended to be used only by my company (internal project, 80 users), am I obligated to release it as a custom app? Or can I release it as a public ("normal") app? We do not have any of the requirements (Apple Bussiness Manager or Apple School Manager) to serve it to our employees and it seems quite complicated to configure and enable it.

Custom Apps in Europe for international employees
We have an app which is not allowed for the app store as it stated we need a custom app as the app is for an internal usecase only. The client has employees in France, Germany and Switzerland. They all have an own device (BYOD). Custom Apps Redeem Codes are for one country only. How can make the apps available for all of them without the hassle of an enterprise distribution (we don't have managed devices).

documentation 5.2.3
Hi, I hope you can help. I would like to publish an online radio station streaming from Bonaire , Caribbean Netherlands in the apps store. We don't have a company like "ascap" here providing documentation for a licence to be paid. In the Netherlands which we are part from as country but not in a legal way, I cannot register with Buma Stemra neither for this. The local fm radio stations here from what i know dont have documentation neither and just broadcast. What could be the solution. I am allowed to broadcast from here since we dont have legal regulations for this in place here but how about online from here ? Thank you Annemiek

Possible to turn off prevent cross-site tracking for a web app that has been saved to home page?
My team has developed a Glide app (web app, not a native iPhone app) that can be saved to the home page and accessed like an actual app. In our Glide app, we have an embedded other app, that requires the Safari settings to allow cookies and not prevent cross-site tracking in order to work. When these settings are turned on for Safari, and users access our app in Safari directly, the embedded app works fine. However for the users who saved our app to home screen and access it that way, even if they allow cookies and turn off prevent cross-site tracking in Safari settings, the embedded app does not load. Is there any workaround for this? If not Safari, what browser is the "app" that has been saved to the home screen using? Why does it have separate settings from normal Safari?

Associated Domains in Custom Apps
We have an iOS app that is distributed as a Custom App using Apple Business Manager. Our customers are firms which do some final configuration (via MDM) on the app so that it is ready for their employess to use. We now want to introduce Universal Links. The associated domain for these links corresponds to the respective server of the customer. We have tried out the links on a sample branch and it all works fine. But: Our product must not contain any customer-specific information. So we cannot enter the server addresses of the customers as associated domains in Xcode. I would expect there to be a way to register an associated domain via MDM using a configuraiton or profile, to circumvent the Apple Content Delivery Network. But I cannot find a way. Does anybody have a clue?

Mach-o header manipulations and OSX 12
I have binary generated by a non-xcode process which works. The way the binary is constructed means that the Mach-o headers are not correct for codesigning and I have a manual C program to correct the headers. This has worked fine for years but on OSX 12, after the header-manipulation runs, the signature generated by the compile of the binary is invalid and so the binary won't run any more (the usual "Killed" error). Codesigning also fails, presumably for the same reason. So, the question is on OSX 12, after I have manually changed Mach-o headers, can I resign somehow to obtain a valid binary again for codesigning?

How to install private app on iphone
I am creating an application using flutter and I want to make it live for a limited number of users who belong to me or my organization, This app is showing calculator UI in front and if the user enters a perfect combination he will get a personal web view. That web view is hidden from the public or friends. Is there any issue if I make this app online on APP Store - like privacy or how can I install this app on limited users or for my friend circle

Is it possible to distribute multiple versions of the same app
Using Custom Apps we would like to be able to propose to our customers different versions of the same application. This is because our customers have to test the different app versions and choose which version they want to distribute internally, via their own MDM. Is something like this feasible? how? If not, how could this be achieved? Regards, Philippe Fos Software Delivery Manager

Apple Business Manager stuck in the custom apps section
I'm stuck in the "custom apps" section, if I press the "Inizia" button (I think it's Start in English, sorry for the screenshot in Italian) nothing happens. After about 20 seconds of waiting without clicking anything else, a popup opens where you can confirm the Apple ID credentials. I enter the credentials and go ahead, but here I am stuck, nothing happens and the page remains the same as the screenshot. I tried with: -Safari on Mac -Edge on Mac -Firefox on Mac -Edge on Windows I also had a client of mine try who is physically in a different country (therefore another internet connection) I don't know how to fix.... I have opened the EDGE development tools and in the console I see several errors, possible that there is a bug in the site?

Importing a custom programmed swift package
I have made a custom swift package that contains the encoding and decoding functions for my app String Conversion Tool. It is uploaded to GitHub: (https://github.com/Casual3306/ConverterExtra). I do a request for the package (in my apps main project) and the package imports just fine, it is present in the Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content and it is present in Package Dependencies, I have also run: "Reset Package Caches" and "Resolve Package Versions". The package also imports into the designated module as a "module" but when I try to access any of that "modules" files like > ConverterExtras > Encoders it is giving me an error saying that "This class may not be available in this context". All of the files are in the module package but Xcode isn't finding them for some reason: Xcode version: 13 System: MacOS (Big Sur 11.6)
