I have an app in the app store which is free to download but has a few In-App Purchases. I am not allowed to sell in China and because of the In-App Purchases it doesn't appear in the Chinese app store. I would like to offer it for free there. Is there a way to do this with the same bundle-ID or do I have to create a separate app without any In-App Purchases for China?

I've been considering for some time, to pitch a version of one of my games for Apple Arcade. Originally, I did not because the website says "If you’re working on a groundbreaking, unreleased game and would like it to be considered for Apple Arcade, we’d love to hear from you.". The fact that Apple is asking for an unreleased game makes me wonder if it's worth submitting. Nowadays I realise that Apple Arcade has "classic" games, so maybe it is now possible. I'm also wondering about things such as: How many languages do I need to have the game localised for? Are there specific languages that are must-have? (Some may require special work to ensure they look correct) Do I need to provide controller support on Apple TV if the app already supports the Siri Remote? Does the game still have to support offline play? Answers to these questions will give me a sense of what I might need to do to make the game fit in, and whether it's actually viable to pitch.

Ohai everyone, I am the developer of Stress Ball Breaker, a little breakout game. The three versions are compatible with game controllers, these are required on the tvOS version and remain optional on others versions. The game is available on the App Store for iOS, macOS and tvOS. On Wednesday, I have submitted an update on the App Store. The iOS and macOS versions were quickly accepted, but the tvOS version was suddenly rejected. Previous builds were accepted without any problem. The build was "out of compliance with Guideline 2.1 - Performance - App Completeness", because my app would not respond when user attempts to start game. When I'm testing it on my Apple TV and a game controller connected to it, everything works like a charm. The game controller I am using is a Nimbus Steelseries controller and is MFI-compliant. I have submitted two more builds of the tvOS version with little changes (I have made game controllers working on tvOS simulator). Both builds were rejected too. Now, I am asked to provide additional informations and to "update my plist to include the appropriate External Protocols for the associated MFi accessory. Accessories that use an External Accessory protocol [...] must complete the MFi self-certification process, under the MFi Program". I am also asked to join the MFI program, as if my app was only compatible with a custom game controller of which I would be the manufacturer! My app uses the GameController framework, which is part of the public APIs, so my app can use any Bluetooth gamepad connected to an iPhone, iPad, MacBook or Apple TV. The only thing I have to do is to check the "Extended Gamepad" option on Xcode under the "Signing and Capabilities" tab in my project settings. That's all! I don't know why my app is rejected. I have submitted an appeal, which was closed. The App Store Review requests additional information I can't provide! I don't see any other solution than to cancel my app submission and to remove the tvOS version from the App Store, because future builds will be probably rejected for the same reason. Can someone help me to solve this issue? Thanks in advance! Best regards, Frédéric

this GKAccessPoint code fails on macOS. The AccessPoint button appears, but disappears when clicked -- no modal window. works fine on iOS but not macOS. what am i doing wrong? import SwiftUI import GameKit struct AccessPoint: View { var body: some View { ZStack { Color.clear Text("GKAccessPoint") } .onAppear() { GKLocalPlayer.local.authenticateHandler = { viewController, error in GKAccessPoint.shared.isActive = true } } } }

Hi! I recently moved from iphone 12 pro max to a new iPhone 13 pro max hoping to get 90fps on PUBG MOBILE. I can't believed what I have experienced. The 90 fps is so worst that iphone 12 pro max was far better. I buy the new phone just for 90fps but the game is so lag and also the screen is a kind of laggy. What Can I do??

I'm trying to use GCVirtualController in an app and am running into an apparent bug when trying to use it in portrait mode. If I create "left side" and "right side" elements such as a left analog stick and right analog stick, things appear as expected when in landscape mode. When I switch to portrait mode only the right side elements appear. This doesn't appear to be a documented limitation and I'd like to be able to use the GCVirtualController in both orientations. Any advice? Is this just a bug or an intentional design limitation.

GCVirtualController supports setting a UIBezierPath for configuring controller elements. This seems to work fine for things like A/B/X/Y buttons but it seems to be silently ignored when trying to set against the analog stick elements. This doesn't seem to be a documented limitation. Is this just a bug in GCVirtualController or an intentional limitation?

I would want to get a Unity game up for free download on iOS but I'm not sure about the policy of copyright for the platform. The game is a fan imagination of Valve's cancelled game "Prospero" titled "Uno-Prospero". It's not gonna have any major resources from other games and I will credit the original artists for their unfinished title. I've just started developing it but I want to know if I can submit it for iOS at all. It's a free game with credits for the original creators.

I have a game that is built as a PWA and the minute I add sounds that overlap, everything goes to pot on mobile. The sounds work perfectly on desktop, but on an iPhone X the behavior is drawing and sounds get randomly delayed and serialized. So even though on the desktop the visual of a block dropping is accompanied by the sound of a block dropping, on mobile I get one or the other first, and if I do 16 in a row, I'll get some set of each before or after one another (3 sounds, 8 visual animations, 6 sounds, 5 visual animations, 2 sound, 3 visual animations). I'd rather not use a dependency like Howler.js, but have decided to do so. I've tried both DOM audio elements and new Audio() objects in javascript. Nothing seems to make it better. Thoughts?

I am developing a multiplayer AR game based on this repo https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/arfoundation-samples/tree/main/Assets/Scenes/ARKit/ARCollaborationData and this demo https://developer.apple.com/documentation/arkit/creating_a_collaborative_session?language=objc When I had two devices in the game, everything was good. But when I increased the number of devices to four, the devices got over-heated quickly and the network got jammed very often. Since it is a peer-to-peer network, each device send its ARCollaborationData to all other devices every frame, I don't know if MultipeerConnectivity is capable of handling such amount of data in realtime with low energy consuming. I have tested the Round Trip Time of MultipeerConnectivity in this question https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/694882, and found it is not very stable for a realtime game. My question is that, is MultipeerConnectivity a good choice for a realtime AR game with more than 4 devices? I know Airdrop is implemented using this technology, so I guess maybe it is designed for high throughput instead of low latency and stability? Should I use another network solution like Photon-Realtime?

I am using Metal Debugger / Instruments to profile my game in iPhone. And I am having problem finding a counter that could profile the "Tiling Phase" for a drawcall. Counters I got from XCode GPU frame captures are: "GPU Time", "Vertex Stage Time". I wonder if "Vertex Stage Time" contains both of Tiling phase execution time and Vertex Shader execution time? As far as I know from Qualcomm GPU, the "Tiling phase" (Called "binning pass" in Qualcomm) is going to shade all vertices once and bin primitives to tiles. And then for each tile, execute VS and PS for primitives in this tile. I am not sure if Apple GPU is doing the same thing. Could anyone expalin what is "Tiling phase" actually doing and how can I profile this "Tiling phase" in XCode? Thanks! My XCode Version is 12.4, and I am using iPhone XS max (IOS14.3)

Hi Team, i am facing a strange issue in my iOS game where the local data gets resets for quite few times a day when the game is resumed from background. This causes the game preferences reset and other local data saved by plugins. Any hint on Xcode projects settings, entitlements settings required to avoid this issue?

Loved the session, wanted to try out the demo code and then work through understanding it. 25 build errors that appear to be swift syntax related… is that just recent code changes or is there an easy fix?

Crash log is attached. Any help here? UE4Game 11-15-21, 5-30 PM.crash

Hello Do I need any specific licenses to submit casino and slots apps to the Apple App Store? I am talking about casino/slot apps where you do not earn real money. The app will only contain ads and IAP’s where you buy in-game coins. Is there a list of countries that don’t allow these types of apps that I can see as well?

In the example code:- vc.changeElement(GCInputButtonA) { I get the error. Value of type 'GCVirtualController?' has no member 'changeElement' I thought the vc reference was view controller but this did not work. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance

if you archive in xcode, it says you can't find a new file in UnityFramework. Please Help me.
