I'm trying to create a Apple Watch game using Xcode 14.2 and watchOS 9. Getting started creating a watchOS App seems pretty straight forward, and getting started creating a game project via the starter template seems easy enough. Trying to put these two together though doesn't seem to work (or is not straight foward). The documentation specifies limitations on what libraries can be used with watchOS noting WKInterfaceSKScene, but doesn't give any specific examples of how to start out a WatchOS project using this. Additionally nearly every online tutorial that I'm able to find uses Storyboards to create a watchOS game, which does not seem to be supported in the latest version of watchOS or Xcode. Can anyone provide example starter code using the watchOS App project starter that that loads with a small colored square on the screen that moves from left to right using the WKInterfaceSKScene library? I've tried the Apple documentation, asking ChatGPT for a sample or reference links, and various tutorials on YouTube and elsewhere.

I love Xcode as an IDE and want to develop my UE5 games using Xcode. However, Xcode's "Jump to Definition" and "Auto-completion" props seems not working with non-Swift projects. I have tried to add UE5 source files' path to the Project/Build Settings/Search Paths but it did not work. I could do that via VS Code but I do want to use Xcode for development. Any help please?

Hello community this post is for show my complete unsatisfied with Apple specially on developing games for Apples platforms there is lack of support for it for example some new gaming technologies and still that there is no profit or worth from all the work and money invested to develop for it I will close the journey with Apple very unsatisfied I'm going to give opportunities with my business to other platforms that are really worth it and give support to all new technologies in gaming and yes Apple destroyed other gaming makers with their new services like arcade and seems no future for gaming in Apples platforms. Quit goodbye and good luck to everyone.

An issue appeared on IOS 16.4 when presenting GKMatchmakerViewController with the matchmakingMode set to inviteOnly. The view controller appears with the invite option as expected. But trying to tap it, the GKMatchmakerViewController disappears immediately. No problem on the previous IOS versions. It works also when matchmakingMode is not used at all.

I have a Macbook Pro 16 M1Pro 16Gb Ram MacOS 14 Sonoma Beta 4 and GPT 1.0.2 and currently testing Diablo 4 V 1.04 (latest Update on 08.08.2023). The game is awesome and it runs in 2560x1440 in 50-60fps on my 4K-LG Display over HDMI very smoothly, until .... see Problem 1 and Problem 2 Graphics details are in full detail. smooth shadows and even FSR2 works perfectly. Diablo4 needs around 9-11 GB Ram on my system. There are no background activities running! Problem 1: exploring new areas causes Ram Buffer overflow, freezes the screen, and crashes, and a new system reboot is needed. Problem 2: when trying to buy/sell an item, or just the characters menu will be opened, the game freezes. A game reboot is necessary! While running the HUD in games I can see what's going on and could analyze, that while it's the case Problem 1 and Problem 2 happening, The RAM jumps from 9-11 GB to 16-18 GB. This is much more than the System can deliver and cause the screen freezes and crash. Either the whole system reboot or mostly just the game reboot is needed. Would be very nice if Apple could fix/adjusts GPT in the next versions of Diablo 4. Many thanks in advanced

Hi everyone! We have a web browser game with an audience and we have made its mobile version for Apple AppStore, the game has built-in purchases. Question: is it possible to use a domain name in the game logo and its name in the AppStore? we noticed that some applications change their name and logo to a domain name. This practice is mostly common for apps like Booking.com, etc., but also it is commonly used by GameDev companies like EasyBrain, MiniClip, Voodoo for some of their games. In addition, they changed their logo on the loading screen to a logo with a domain name. I looked through the application naming rules and did not find any direct prohibitions on the use of a domain name. We checked the games from EasyBrain and they have In-App Purchases. Here is a list of the apps with a domain name in the title: Sudoku.com, Booking.com, Nonogram.com, Agai.io and so on..

Hello, I am on windows and I am an apple developer. Quite the match right. Well, I have a huge bug on my unity game and I received a crash log file. But, only one problem. I can't understand it. I do not have xcode. I have the file itself and it says it's a bugtype 309. I can't symbolicate it either. Anyone have any suggestions? Thank you. here's a little snippet, if anyone can help me out.

According to UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/uirequireddevicecapabilities/, the value iphone-performance-gaming-tier has been added. The description is quoted below. iphone-performance-gaming-tier Requires the graphics performance and gaming features equivalent to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. Available in iOS 17.0 and later. Unavailable in visionOS. In Info.plist of Xcode 15.0 (15A240d), setting iphone-performance-gaming-tier is correctly displayed in human readable format. However, when archiving a build containing this value and submitting it to App Store Connect, I receive an email stating that the bundle is invalid. The iphone-performance-gaming-tier is not available at this time, although its documentation states that it is available in iOS 17.0 and later. How can I use this value? For example, do I need a special entitlement?

How is this a valid stack trace with mangled symbol names and file/line information? I've already demangled the name, even though Windows does this for me. The recommended approach to get file/line seems to be to proc "atos" process repeatedly on the symbols to turn them all into file/line. But shouldn't there just be a function call for this, or option to backtrace_symbols() since it's looking up the symbol anyways. I don't get how this external process call would work for iOS, and it seems slow for macOS as well. Compare this with Window CaptureStackBackTrace, and then there is a simple function call via DbgHelp.lib to retrieve the file/line. Am I supposed to somehow use the CoreSymbolicate framework on macOS/iOS?

We transferred application, using guide there: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/transfer-an-app/overview-of-app-transfer/ We use Game Center to identify users via playerid https://developer.apple.com/documentation/gamekit/gkplayer/1521127-playerid After transferring application playerid for our current users is changed, and so users are unable to login How can we restore playerid for our users? For "Sign in with Apple" there are migration process, so there are no issues, is there something like that for Game Center?

Hello guys, We have built a game in Cocos Creator which works fine on all androids, windows, ipads and macs. But in iphone it crashes randomly. Does anyone know something about this like memory constraints etc.?

My game has an "Exit" button in the intro screen that allows you to quit. I submitted an update to the game and the app review is saying when they click "exit," that it goes to a grey screen. I cannot re create this. I've played it in a guest account in a "minimally privileged environment" yet it does not happen for me. The button calls [NSApp terminate:self]; Is there any reason this might happen? I can't re create it. What should I do if I cannot? I am at an impasse here.

Hi all So I'm quite new into GameDev and am struggling a bit with the Tilemap All my elements have the size of 64x64. As you can see in my screenshot there is some gap between the street and the water. It might be simple but what's the best way to fix that gap? I could increase the width of the left and right edge png but then I will sooner or later run into other problems as it then is not fitting with the rest. Thanks for your help Cheers from Switzerland

While my GPTK setup works fine with games like Rocket League, any Unity made game will freeze when a joystick input is given. I've tested this with 'Zeepkist' and 'Engine Evolution 2021', both have full steam controller support enabled. If I run the GPTK game in foreground, right after moving the joystick, this error is logged: 0bac:fixme:rawinput:rawinput_from_hardware_message Unhandled rawinput type 0x100 This only happens when Steam is running. For example, running the 'Zeepkist' .exe manually while Steam is NOT RUNNING, the controller works fine! Most of the time this results in a crash throwing: 0bbc:fixme:dbghelp:SymLoadModuleExW Unsupported Flags 00000005 for (null) 0bbc:fixme:dbghelp:SymLoadModuleExW Unsupported Flags 00000005 for (null) 0bbc:fixme:dbghelp:SymRegisterFunctionEntryCallback64 (0000000000000084 0000000140036E50 2508e0): stub! wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0000001BFFFFFFE4 at address 000000006E73B991 (thread 0bac), starting debugger... 0bbc:fixme:file:CancelSynchronousIo (000000000000007C): stub 0810:fixme:imm:ImeSetActiveContext (0x36ed10, 1): stub 0810:fixme:imm:ImmReleaseContext (000000000009020A, 000000000036ED10): stub I would love to play Unity games using GPTK.
