I created a custom keyboard layout with the app Ukelele, based on a built-in layout and thus using the original icon. However, the icon is not loaded as a template image in the Menu Bar. The result is that when a darker background image is used (or a dynamic background turns darker), the black part of the icon does not switch to white and all I see is a black square with the letters of the keyboard layout not readable: This was fine until 12.3 when flags were used as icons instead. Is this a bug and is there a way to workaround this?

when I'm trying to use SF Arabic on adobe XD I found that the letters which have dots are damaged especially when I change the thickness of the font which makes it impossible to use the font, how can I resolve this issue? also when I use the compressed and the extended font in SF pro how can I find the equalizing in SF Arabic?

Do I need to resubmit my app to the App Store if all I want to do is add an additional country to make it available in? Or can I just add the country on the Pricing and Availability page and save the update to make it available right then?

We are currently offering a standard subscription tier in all of our supported countries. We want to offer a premium subscription only in the US & Canada. Is it possible to enable this plan/tier only for certain countries?

DatePicker error is displayed when the locale supports RTL view. When I change the DatePicker style to inline style and change the default localization to ar (Arabic), the DatePicker shows number mirrors, after scrolling between months the display changes to the correct display but the day names are not associated with the day's numbers.

Language of UITextChecker.rangeOfMisspelledWord() may be language (en) or language+region (en_JP, en_US, ...). What is difference in results for these two languages?  For example, we have three misspelled words: “misspell_en” - misspelled in all english regions. “misspell_en_US” - misspelled in US region but correct in all other regions. “misspell_en_GB” - misspelled in GB region but correct in all other regions. It seems if we pass to rangeOfMisspelledWord() language = “en_US”, result will be [“misspell_en”, “misspell_en_US”] because only these two words are misspelled in US region. Correct?  What will be result of rangeOfMisspelledWord() if we pass language without region - language = “en”? All words will be returned as misspelled because each word is misspelled at least in one of the “en” regions? Or only “word_en” because other two words are correct at least in one of the “en” regions?

On IOS there is 2 ways to select app language : settings-general -language settings - your app - language if an app require authorisation for localisation like requestWhenInUseAuthorization , the displayed text is always in the language specified by the general language setting. Setting the required string in InfoPlist.strings is not enough and there may be a problem in iOS : once can check this with the Apple official Weather App installed by default on iPhone. How to reproduce : Set your device (general-language) in English. set WeatherApp( settings-weather-language) in French. set weatherApp Location to ask next time. start weather app it will ask for permission with a message in English while all other part of app are in French. I tested with other languages and it is still the same. This may finish in Apple refuse an app in AppStore review process with that « user may expect to have authorisation dialog in the language they choose for the app», but there is nothing that can be done as even Apple Software as the same problem. Have you any workaround like preventing to change app language to something different than system language ? I have already filled a Feedback.

Hi, By mistake we originally released our app worldwide, and we'd like to fix this. Currently, our last two releases are restricted the way we'd like, but we'd like to restrict releases before those to be only available in the US. Is there any way to do this? We're not as worried about people who've already downloaded the app, but we'd like older releases not to be visible in the stores for most of the world. Thanks,

Hello, I would like to know if there is any way to programmatically find out the current language of an application(either budle info, plist,any function from CoreFoundation, etc ). Only information I found relating to this is in CFBundleDevelopmentRegion from plist of the app but its not reliable in all cases. We are coding in C++ but we can also run Objective-C code. Thank you in advance!

Hi! When using string method of DateComponentsFormatter, it gives sometimes an extra unit(2) in the formatted string instead of one. In the following snippet, formattedString gives 213d 1h instead of 213d. let durationShort: DateComponentsFormatter = {     let formatter = DateComponentsFormatter()     formatter.allowedUnits = [.day, .hour, .minute]     formatter.unitsStyle = .abbreviated     formatter.zeroFormattingBehavior = .dropAll     formatter.maximumUnitCount = 3     formatter.collapsesLargestUnit = false     return formatter }() let formattedString = durationShort.string(from: TimeInterval(86400 * 213)) Any idea?

My language learning app needs to support a lot of languages and text paragraphs containing 2 different languages are not uncommon. (e.g. German grammar explained in Arabic) Now, I want to integrate a custom font to make the design unique and consistent across multiple platforms (iOS, Android, Web), but there is basically no single Font that supports all languages. The question is: What is the recommended way of implementing that on the code level in SwiftUI? If I just hardcode: .font(Font.custom("myFont", size: 16)) then I guess it is not gonna work if the text contains a language not supported by my custom font. The Apple's default font seems to handle all languages perfectly, even if they are mixed together and I'd like to have something like that, but with a custom font. Specifically, I'd like to integrate FF Din font: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/fontfont/ff-din/ with supported Languages: Western Europe, Vietnamese, Central/Eastern Europe, Baltic, Turkish, Romanian, Cyrillic, Greek So I am wondering what I would do about Chinese, Arabic, etc. Thanks

I have an iOS app that is available worldwide and I would like to update the current version only for some countries. If I do this, are other countries still able to download the old version?

I have tried several name, eg "veryLongSpecial AppName" but it is also occupied which is weird. May I know what's the steps that App store is checking? It is caused by the name in the primary language setting?

I'd like to be able to retrieve a writing direction from an arbitrary string... but how? I have tried getGlyphsInRange:glyphs:properties:characterIndexes:bidiLevels:    NSLayoutManager* layoutManager = [[NSLayoutManager alloc] init];   NSTextStorage* textStorage = [[NSTextStorage alloc] initWithString:@"abc"];   [textStorage addLayoutManager:layoutManager];   NSRange stringRange=NSMakeRange(0,[@"abc" length]);   NSMutableData* glyphData=[NSMutableData dataWithLength:sizeof(CGGlyph)*stringRange.length+1];   CGGlyph* glyphs=(CGGlyph*)[glyphData mutableBytes];       unsigned char *bidiLevelBuffer = calloc([@"abc" length], sizeof(unsigned char));   int glyphCount = (int)[layoutManager getGlyphsInRange:stringRange                           glyphs:glyphs properties:NULL                      characterIndexes:NULL                         bidiLevels:bidiLevelBuffer];       NSLog(@"--- %i, \"%s\"", glyphCount, bidiLevelBuffer); with the result: 2021-12-29 10:39:54.694104+0300 aTypeTrainer4Mac[61412:3479843] --- 3, "" ... any ideas?

My app is only available on UK App Store. I ran a quick dev TestFlight to determine region and it shows region as USA. Is this because the region is always USA for TestFlight? Will it work properly once I get to published App Store? i need to know so I can go to the right backend for GDPR purposes before anything happens..

I'm coming from Windows/Linux world, so don't be too harsh while answering :-) Is it possible to develop a spelling dictionary and grammar support for unsupported languages? Is there any documentation available? After some searching, I didn't find anything useful. Our wish is to develop language tools for macOS (speller, grammar, text-to-speech). What is the right procedure to start in the macOS world? Regards.

Hi, Our situation is as follows: We have a Dutch app(Also one product page - Localization: Dutch) that can be downloaded by anyone in any country. The current app has a unique name and can be found and downloaded in every country. Now we want to change the app name but we see that the name we want to use has already been taken up by some languages/regions. What happens if people search for our new app name in a certain region/language, but the name has already been claimed in that region/country. Can our customers find our app? I am therefore curious about the behavior that arises when someone searches for our new app name that is already taken in a certain region Kind regerds,

I would like to replace my use of DateFormatter with the new date.formatted(_) API but am having some difficulty. For the context of the app in question, it is desirable to use twenty-four hour time regardless of what the user's personal settings are. I have code to do this below: let dateFormatter = DateFormatter() dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone.autoupdatingCurrent dateFormatter.dateStyle = .short dateFormatter.timeStyle = .none dateFormatter.dateFormat = "\(dateFormatter.dateFormat!) HH:mm:ss" return dateFormatter.string(from: date) Is there a way to do this using the new API or do I need to continue using the old way?
