Prevent iOS from killing the app while suspended
Basically, I have a school app that students would use in class by activating themselves to the current active course, and the app should track students' actions like sending the app to the background to inactivate them. one more thing to add is that a student can lock his phone while activating himself to preserve the battery. when the phone is locked, the app is sent to the background state and then to the suspended state. The issue here is, After a while, if the user unlocks his phone, SOMETIMES user sees the home screen and when he opens the app from the app switcher, App gets relaunched (meaning the system terminates the app while the app was in the suspended state) and In that case, students can cheat the app without noticing it. I suspect Jetsam (Memory pressure) case is behind this since the app utilizes less than 50 MG of memory while in the background but can't be so sure. Is there any chance I could prevent this from happening? Are there any frameworks that could help fix that issue (being terminated while in a suspended state)?

Tracking usage time of other apps in an IOS application
Dear Friends, We are developing an application for IOS, but we are challenging in a situation. We want to track usage time of other apps such as Duolingo, Tandem etc. in our application. We don't want to track application, we only aim to track usage time. Related to this, we found an API called Screen Time API, nevertheless we couldn't be sure that we are allowed to take such information. In this manner, we need your recommendations and comments about this idea and API. The app will support users to reach their aims by tracking their usage of some specific apps that are related to their targets. For instance, if a person needs to practice some language in Tandem, he or she can see Tandem usage on our app. Can we import their usage time information of the users' apps? Can we use Screen Time API to realize this target? Will we need to create a document like proposal for the AppStore team to express our aim and method?

Unable to get ABM prompt on freshly wiped Mac
I have a Mac Mini 2018 which is not presenting the ABM prompt when I bring my iPhone 12 running Apple Configuration Manager near it. This machine (which has been in use for a few years) has been wiped and has a fresh install of Monterey 12.2 on it. Upon first boot after a fresh reinstall, it goes directly to the "Select your Country or Region" screen (it completely skips the language selection prompt for some reason). I launched ACM on my iPhone 12 and sat it atop the Mac Mini for several minutes, but nothing happened. Is there something I am doing wrong? In case it matters (and knowing my luck, it probably does), I do have the T2 Security Utility configured for "Medium Security" and "Allow Booting from External Media" as I will need to roll back this machine to Catalina after the 30-day grace period completes.

Position/Scale not holding true
Hi! I'm designing a scaled model of the solar system in Reality Composer (v1.5). When I set the position of a planet to be meters apart, it still shows up on one screen - only centimeters apart. Even more so, the sun is set to be at one end of the building (0,0,0) and Neptune at the other (584 meters away) and when I play the experience on my iPad, it is happy to let me see them on my screen at the same time. Thoughts? Thank you!

Event threshold callbacks are inconsistent
The event threshold callbacks are inconsistent. We receive the callback 30mins to 1hour late after scheduling or it stops coming suddenly. Is there any limit how many callbacks will be coming per hour or day? Sometimes I don't get the callback at all. Sometimes it works properly for the whole day(Same code without any change). Additional note: Sometimes I don't receive the schedule start call-back but the event threshold.

Clarifications on MDM VPP Client Context notificationUrl
Apple introduces MDM to subscribe to certain events in Apple business manager Apps and Books through specifying the URL in "notificationUrl" filed during client context command. What the best way to design it for a closed network MDM Server How does it work for MDM with a self-signed certificate or enterprise certificate? Will it cause any SSL issues?

Kids Category
How do I get my market place accepted into the Kids Category? I have submitted my app Kids Help Kids twice and it is live in the app store now, but with 17+. Both times I have submitted my app their response to the Kids Category is "Specifically, it is a marketplace". I am following all the necessary laws and my app features are similar if not the same as Vinted (also a marketplace, but is 4+). Can anyone give me any advice?

Requirements for Apple Configurator iOS and macOS?
Trying to use the new Apple Configurator and I am seeing it is not going to work on any macOS device below Monterey. This was not mentioned in https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10297/ at all. Our company has not moved to Monterey and I am testing on an older device that has Big Sur.
