Apple CarPlay Design Components
Hi! I am a product designer and noticed that there is no documentation, guides, rules, or available UI Kits of the CarPlay components. I struggle with sizes, spaces, and paddings for all components and styles. Apple does not share any info about that. I also tried to search on the Internet but did not find anything. Maybe someone has experience in creating the CarPlay design or knows where to found the components or some guides with detailed info about spacing, sizes, etc of each element.

Can I Install unlisted App via link on my device, if I have not sign-in to the Appstore on my device?
Hi, I have a scenario that I got 200+ colleagues (research assistants) willing to collect data for our research using our App, But all the devices we have are brand new and using for only this purpose. My colleagues cannot use their personal Apple ID to sign in to the device nor to the Appstore App on the device. My Question is can they install our App via an unlisted App link, even if they are not sign in to the device or to the Appstore on the device? Thanks in Advance.

Apple Wallet Boarding pass customisation
One of our airline customer requested us to customise the boarding pass design of apple wallet to meet their business requirements. Need to change the default flight icon between origin and destination. The default logo of flight image contains four engines where the customer need to show only 2 engines to meet their business standards. Have gone through apple wallet design document and couldn't find any option to change that. Is it possible to change?

How to set up a white label licensing arrangement?
We have an app in the iOS App Store with a one-time up-front pricing. A company wants to license this app and offer it free or at a discount to their customers. Ideally they want a white label licensing arrangement i.e. our app with their branding. How to do this, while retaining control of our source code? We want to be able to offer a flat fee arrangement (e.g. $X per quarter), or a flat discounted rate per download, or tiered pricing (e.g. first X downloads / month: $Y, above this $Z) Both parties should be able to verify download volumes. If we clone our app (with their branding) and either put it in the App Store as our app or give them the build and they put it in the App Store, can we restrict its visibility or availability to their users? If not, it will cannibalize our current app. Apple's Custom Apps / Specific Organizations program may be an option but it says that "this option is only available before your app has been approved." Thank you in advance for guidance and creative solutions.

My App does not show up in search results.
Hello, on December 28, 2022, my app was approved and published, people could find my app when they searched on the app store. Currently, when my app's name is searched through the app store, my app does not appear, but my app is still live and I can go to the app with the app store link. What could be causing this problem and how can I solve it? Thanks in advance.

Modify contacts.app to print christmas labels - resign required....
Hi! I'm not a developer but hope someone can help me... I've regularly updated the standard contacts app to include a file called ABRelatedNamesConfig.plist in Resources. This file just has the contents below. By including this, it meant that the Contacts.app was able to print address labels including spouse and children such as: "Mr John and Jane Smith and Kenny, Jill and Bertie" which was great for Christmas cards.... This feature was standard but got removed in MacOS a few versions ago but the code still worked when you put the file back into a Contacts.app copy (renamed). HOWEVER with Ventura it won't play ball now because the app needs resigning. Can anyone tell me how I can sign the app again (I guess as myself rather than Apple?). Thanks if you can help... I've tried code sign and changing terminal to be able to do app management and/or full disk access but that didn't seem to work and I don't really know what I'm doing... I know Google is my friend... but... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>ca</key> <true/> <key>gb</key> <true/> <key>us</key> <true/> <key>fr</key> <true/> <key>no</key> <true/> <key>au</key> <true/> <key>de</key> <true/> <key>ch</key> <true/> </dict> </plist>

Duplicate rows in List populated by CoreData
This is an interesting issue I am having with a custom app I am making in Xcode using SwiftUI. I have a Swift file called BillView. In this file, I have some code that displays data retrieved from the CoreData Stack in a List. The issue I am having is when I add a new record, the List reflects that there is an additional row but it has the same displayed text as the one above it. If I continue to add records, they all show the same text as the first row. I have gone through the code and banged my head against the wall until it now hurts. Can someone please help me discover why each row isn't showing its unique data? I have attached the code from the BillView Swift file below. // //  BillView.swift //  Budget Me // //  Created by Charles Vincent on 8/3/22. // import SwiftUI import CoreData struct BillRow: View {     var bill: Bill     var body: some View {         Text(bill.merchant ?? "No merchant given")     } } struct BillView: View {     @Environment(\.managedObjectContext) private var viewContext     @FetchRequest(         entity: Bill.entity(),         sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \Bill.date, ascending: true)],         animation: .default)     private var bills: FetchedResults<Bill>     @State var linkActive = false     var body: some View {         NavigationView {             List {                 ForEach(bills){ bill in                     BillRow(bill: bill)                 }                 .onDelete(perform: deleteBills)             }             .navigationTitle("Bills")             .background(                 NavigationLink(destination: AddBillView(), isActive: $linkActive) {}             )             .toolbar {                 ToolbarItem(placement: .automatic) {                     Button(action: {                         linkActive = true                     }) {                         Image(systemName: "plus")                     }                 }             }         }     }     private func deleteBills(offsets: IndexSet) {         withAnimation {             offsets.map { bills[$0] }.forEach(viewContext.delete)                          do {                 try viewContext.save()             } catch {                 // Replace this implementation with code to handle the error appropriately.                 // fatalError() causes the application to generate a crash log and terminate. You should not use this function in a shipping application, although it may be useful during development.                 let nsError = error as NSError                 fatalError("Unresolved error \(nsError), \(nsError.userInfo)")             }         }     } } struct BillView_Previews: PreviewProvider {     static var previews: some View {         BillView()     } }

Advice on B2B app
Hey all, I'm looking at creating an app for a manufacturer, who currently only sells to existing account holders. The app is aimed at improving the ecommerce side and allowing the account holders to buy online. I'm not sure on restrictions on the app store so will the fact that only account holders can see the pricing or buy online stop us from being able to publish the app? Would it need to be opened so that people can apply for an account etc? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Duplicate app versions for different BT devices
We already have an app, Fluid Connect, on the Apple Store which is designed to work with BT FTMS rowing machines. For simplicity, we now want to clone this app and modify it to work with BT FTMS Bikes. The cloned app will have the same look and feel, core functionality (workouts), a few different icons, different start screen, with FTMS Bike Data support instead of FTMS Rower Data, and a new name - Fluid Connect for Bikes. Overall, some visual difference and for different target BT hardware. I have gone through the guidelines and see nothing that blocks this but not sure if I have missed something. Can we legitimately do this? Thanks in advance for any responses to this.

How to restrict macOS app from uninstall using password?
Where could I find such info? My app once installed should now require the user to move it to bin trash. A kind of customized uninstaller should be fine but most users would just drag to bin. My app is a daemon and maybe I need to stop it before the user uninstall. I saw some macos apps that do that but I dunno where to start.

Updates to Custom Private App through Apple Business Manager
We are going to move an app on custom APP distribution private with Apple Business Manager. This app would be distributed through a redemption code. Once installed the app then how do existing users get an updated app? It is not convenient for every time to distribute the redemption code to reinstall again for an updated APP to each user.
