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.

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!

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.

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.

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?

Our unity gaming apps were very stable on OS versions before 14.7.1, since this version release we are observing an increase in crashes due to memory availability or access file storage. We went through release notes of 14.7.1 & other latest iOS version and didn't found any thing which can cause these issues. The unusual thing is, the same app which was excellently performing on 14.6 started to give crashes on 14.7.1 and later versions. Is there anything i am missing with respect to any changes to make apps compatible with iOS version 14.7.1 and above. We use Unity to create gaming applications and apps group capabilities too.

Hi, recently we purchased an additional 100 ipads for our school. Unfortunately, they were purchased without my involvement under a apple business account. I need to move them to my apple school manager account so I can manage them with the current mdm and ipads in apple school manager.

Hello, I am wondering how to designate my DeviceActivityMonitor extension as the principal class on Xcode 13 beta 5 Documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/deviceactivity/deviceactivitymonitor

I was able to start the device activity monitor. I was able to see the Device Activity Monitor Extension as a process, and was able to attach to it via Xcode. Now I am trying block a specific 3rd party application, via the Shield. I am using this piece of code for intervalDidStart :    override func intervalDidStart(for activity: DeviceActivityName) {     NSLog("Interval started for Device Activity")     let blockedApps : Set<Application> = [Application(bundleIdentifier: "com.facebook.Facebook")]     store.application.blockedApplications = blockedApps     super.intervalDidStart(for: activity) } I've declared store in the DeviceActivityMonitor class as follows :    let store = ManagedSettingsStore() This is the error I see in the Console: Error Domain=UsageTrackingErrorDomain Code=1 "Something without a application-identifier entitlement tried to manage usage budgets" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Something without a application-identifier entitlement tried to manage usage budgets} The above use case should work right? I should be able to apply the settings inside DeviceActivityMonitorExtension? What does the application-identifier entitlement look like? How do I use it?

Hello! I am just starting to learn development of applications for IOS, I have already studied the section of training from Apple "Intro to App Development with Swift". Please tell me in what direction should I go further in the study of developing applications for IOS?

Hi all, I have a sample app which I created in my local development env. I added the Family Controls capability and the simulator is logged-in to a child account on iCloud that is part of a family group. When I request authorization I keep getting Error Domain=FamilyControls.FamilyControlsError Code=3 "(null)" in the error object returned with the failure result. I am thinking Code 3 represents the enum case for FamilyControlsError which would be invalidArgument. What does that mean and how do I fix it? Also is there a way to map the error object into an FamilyControlsError rather than guess which enum case it is? Here is my code: import SwiftUI import FamilyControls @main struct TestScreentimeAPIApp: App {     @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor private var appDelegate: AppDelegate     var body: some Scene {         WindowGroup {             ContentView()         }     } } class AppDelegate: NSObject, UIApplicationDelegate {     func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil) -> Bool { if #available(iOS 15.0, *) {             let center = AuthorizationCenter.shared             center.requestAuthorization { result in                 switch result {                 case .success():                     break                 case .failure(let error):                     print("error for screentime is \(error)")                 }             }         } }

I have a kids / education app in the store. My app is free with limited functionality and users need to buy in-app purchase option for upgrade. Recently I got some emails from school / institutions asking if they could get the upgrade version app via School Manager. It seems like it's impossible to buy in-app purchase in bulk via School Manager. (Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.) So I built and submitted a separate paid version of my app with "School Edition" added to the name and no in-app purchase. But this app got rejected with the following message. "This app duplicates the content and functionality of other apps submitted by you or another developer to the App Store, which is considered a form of spam." I replied that many other developers are doing the same approach and they are live on the app store. They gave me a short answer saying that they can't provide feedback on app concept and I need to review the guidelines. I know there have been many apps that had both Lite (free) and Pro (paid) version. And there are still many apps that have the same approach such as MathTango. MathTango https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mathtango/id1234698308 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mathtango-school-edition/id1333842226 Is there anyone else who had the similar issue or who could give some advice on this?

Is there a way to tell if Screentime is ON and the user has set a Downtime or App Limit and my app was NOT on the Always Allowed list? Is there a Screentime exemption for a medical app that must always be accessible for the safety of the user?

I've created a test project in which I can successfully receive the FamilyControl authorization for the child device. Then on the parent device(where the parent account is logged in as the iCloud account), I basically used the following test code as provided in the documentation FamilyActivityPicker struct ExampleView: View {   @State var selection = FamilyActivitySelection()   @State var isPresented = false   var body: some View {     Button("Present FamilyActivityPicker") { isPresented = true }     .sheet(isPresented: $isPresented) {       FamilyActivityPicker(selection: $selection)     }     .onChange(of: selection) { newSelection in       let applications = selection.applications       let categories = selection.categories       let webDomains = selection.webDomains     }   } } I get the following error on the view : The operation couldn't be completed. (FamilyControls.ActivityPickerRemoteViewError error 1) For authorization errors I was able to look into the FamilyControlsError enum in the FamilyControls framework, but I can't find an enum for ActivityPickerRemoteViewError. Any idea as to why it's failing to load? I believe I am using the right setup in terms of the account that I am logged in to. I do have the FamilyControl capability, and I was able to successfully provide authorization for the child. Is there any other prerequisite that needs to be done to load the FamilyActivityPicker? Also, Do you know where I can find the error codes corresponding to ActivityPickerRemoteViewError ? What does error 1 indicate? I do see the following in the console logs : 2021-06-09 16:42:38.430112-0400 NN Family Control[849:38700] [lifecycle] [u 9F1F2B94-76F6-4D8F-ADE3-6D1C14EE5074:m (null)] [com.apple.FamilyControls.ActivityPickerExtension(1)] Connection to plugin interrupted while in use. 2021-06-09 16:42:38.476929-0400 NN Family Control[849:38704] [lifecycle] [u 9F1F2B94-76F6-4D8F-ADE3-6D1C14EE5074:m (null)] [com.apple.FamilyControls.ActivityPickerExtension(1)] Connection to plugin invalidated while in use.

What so

Hi, It's been multiple times our app got refused. We first enabled the "Made for kids" checkbox. Then they told us we could not have analytics in our app if it was in this category. We chose to keep our analytics and not to be in this kids category anymore so I unchecked this option. I submited again the same build but the review team keeps telling us our app is not complient with their guidelines for app made for kids. Though our app is not in this category anymore so I don't know why we still have this issue... our app have never been validated even once by the review team so our app should be able not to be in this category. We are considering removing our app and recreate it again without ever checking this "made for kids" checkbox. We are just short in time and are afraid it could last a very long time. But after all these refusals We are losing a lot of time so it could be a solution. What do you think please? Thanks for your help,

we are getting error in selection.

Currently ScreenTime does not allow the ability to control if the Personal HotSpot can offer a wifi data connection. If a child's iPhone has ScreenTime DownTime enabled, when that ScreenTime starts the child can connect with another device (ex: TV, Oculus, Xbox, etc.) to the phones Personal HotSpot. The iPhones data connection, via Personal HotSpot, should be able to be controlled by ScreenTime.
