Intune Auto-Update Issue Following Xamarin Project Migration
We're currently facing an issue with Intune not automatically updating/downloading the updated build/app to end-user ios devices. It's worth noting that we've recently migrated the Xamarin project to a .NET-style SDK in this version. Previously, the app used to update automatically without any problems. We'd appreciate it if you could help us understand what might be causing this issue.

CNContact instantMessage field duplicates after serializaiton/deserialization
Hello folks, I stumbled upon a weird CNContact serialization problem. I use the Contacts framework to update the AIM field, which is one of the instantMessageAddresses within a single Contact. Here is the simplified code I used: func updateAIMFieldOn(contact: CNContact, aimValue: String) { do { guard let mutableContact = contact.mutableCopy() as? CNMutableContact else { logger.error("[CM] Couldn't update contact with aim \(aimValue)") return } var updatedAddresses = mutableContact.instantMessageAddresses updatedAddresses.append(CNLabeledValue(label: "", value: CNInstantMessageAddress(username: aimValue, service: CNInstantMessageServiceAIM))) mutableContact.instantMessageAddresses = updatedAddresses let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest() saveRequest.update(mutableContact) try CNContactStore().execute(saveRequest) logger.verbose("Contact's AIM updated successfully!") } catch { logger.error("Couldn't update contact") } } And after serializing the contact to data, and then deserializing, the contact got two AIM fields with the same value: X-AIM;type=pref:some:part:of_my_aim_value IMPP;X-SERVICE-TYPE=AIM;type=pref:some:part:of_my_aim_value Why does it work in this manner? Is it possible that ":" char causes that? Format of my aim username is {some:part:of_my_aim_value}. I didn't find any information in the docs. Thanks!

How and when to renew expiring provisioning profile?
Hi everyone, I maintain an app that is developed and distributed with an Apple Developer Enterprise subscription and delivered via my institution’s private site, where users download the .ipa file after logging in. From what I see, we use automatic signing in Xcode where possible. On the 1st of January 2024, the provisioning profile expired, and the developer before me had to rush to renew it because the app stopped working. Now, I have some questions about how to prevent this from happening again: When should I renew the provisioning profile? Can I renew it before the expiration without blocking the current app version that users have already downloaded? How do I renew it? If I need to download a certificate, does it need to be converted into a different format? Do we need to build a new .ipa file that users will have to download before the expiration date? here a screenshot clearance and guide:

Is It Possible to Revert an Apple Developer Account from Business to Personal?
I recently upgraded my Apple Developer account from a personal account to a business account. However, I would like to revert back to a personal account. The reason is that I plan to create a separate developer account for a company using a different company email, and I want to use my original account for publishing personal apps. Is it possible to change the account type back to personal? If so, what steps do I need to follow? If not, are there any other options I should consider? Thank you for your help!

Server docking subscription and automatic subscription interface
Hello: The App Store provides https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/configure-in-app-purchase-settings/enter-server-urls-for-app-store-server-notifications When the server interfaces with this interface, it is found that the specific user account cannot be found. How should I know which user initiated the subscription, or which user automatically subscribed during automatic renewal? Do you have a user account or ID? I hope to receive your complete answer as soon as possible. Best wishes.

Numbers crashing
Numbers recently began crashing on startup. It barely has time to display the open dialog box, then boom! I've tried: Booting in Safe Mode, Deleting preferences in user library (Container files too), no joy. Is there anything else I can delete? I have confirmed that it works fine in another user account on the same machine. So the problem is somewhere in my account. I'd appreciate any suggestions. I'm running MacOS Version 15.0 Beta (24A5298h). but numbers has been fine until literally this weekend. The betaOS was installed a few weeks ago. I've added nothing to the machine since that.

shared IPad - how to retrieve Managed Apple ID (email)
Hey everyone, Is it possible and how to get Managed Apple ID (email) programmatically for user signed in to ipad through shared IPad feature ? It would be good to have MDM independent solution, I mean API call to MDM service is not acceptable for us. Maybe API call to ASM or ABM, or get that somehow on iOS device end... any advice ? Thanks in advance, Dima

All is inhouse distributions apps stopped working after upgrading to version 18.2.1
The issue is with all our enterprise apps. All apps worked on version 18.1. For the few users that updated to 18.2.1 it stopped working after the update. I have a phone that had 18.2.1 installed before I added any enterprise apps, they work fine. So the issue is you have enterprise apps, update from 18.1 to 18.2.1 they stop working. Removing the app (and trust), and installing again doesn't solve the issue. On the app reinstall it's doesn't ask to add the trust or reboot, but the trust is added back. When running the app, it opens for a second or two, then closes.

IOS 18.3 Blocking HTTP SITES
We have several apps that our business uses to connect to internal private HTTP sites. We noticed in IOS 18.3 we are getting SSL errors to the web server and noticed the issue in the Chrome Browser as well. Our team is looking at the Application Transport Security layer exceptions in our apps Info.Plist. We do notice the browser forcing HTTPS. Any insight on what could be the issue?
