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!

Hi Team,
We are planning to automate ABM export. We dont want to download export which contains device inventory for example, S/N, IMEI, Reseller ID, etc.
Is there any way to automate it or has Apple made their APIs available?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards!
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:

Hello All,
My team and I are developing a mobile application (offgrid) to help combat screen addiction. Our application will allow users through gamification, to challenge each other to stay off certain predetermined apps on their phone for a set amount of time and risk their own money. The money will act as a reinforcement to stay focused and off the application. Example: Jon challenges Jen to stay off Instagram for 1 hour for $5. If Jen accepts the challenge, she and Jon cannot go on Instagram. If Jen or Jon decides to click the Instagram app within the hour, the $5 automatically goes to the winner via Apple Pay or another service. If they complete the challenge and stay off Instagram then there is no exchange of money. I will also give the option for users to challenge each other and risk their money for a charity cause if someone loses.
My question is, will the exchange of money count as an in-app purchase, or will the winner receive the full amount? Also, if the money goes to charity, will that count as an in-app purchase?
Thanks!
Please help,
I am trying to enter my bank account details (PKO Bank In Poland) but always get the error: "The IBAN number is invalid."
I'm using account in PLN zl.
account number: 52########0000########1123 (26 symbols)
IBAN: PL52 ########0000########1123 (28 symbols)
I've tryed other accounts, and I'm sure all of them are correct (information was given from the bank page and validated by IBAN checker services), but error blocks me.
How to resolve this issue?
Thanks.

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!

Context: I’m not an app developer, but I’m doing some research in order to gain a high level understanding of an app that I want some developers to build for me.
Basically I need a navigation app built (integrated with Google Maps) that works pretty much like Google Maps. This app will connect to and stream live navigation data to a car HUD (heads-up-display) device using WiFi direct (to facilitate high bandwidth streaming). The purpose of the streaming from the mobile app to the HUD is so that the driver can see the live map without having to look at their phone.
This leads me to my QUESTION: this functionality (streaming from app to HUD) is similar to what AirPlay does & I’ve read that Apple rejects apps that replicate AirPlay’s screen mirroring function. I’ve also read that in order to work around this, my app should limit the information that is sent to & displayed by the HUD device (basically, shouldn’t mirror the whole screen). So, would Apple still reject my app if it only streamed the live map onto the HUD device & left out all the other information displayed on the app (ETA, turn signals, distances etc.) and thus refraining from streaming the entire screen?
Hello! We using jwsRepresentation for Transaction. In documentation we found
The decoded payloads of the jwsRepresentation and JWSTransaction strings contain price fields that are specified in milliunits of the currency; StoreKit represents the price in units of currency. Take care not to confuse these two representations when working with both APIs.
source
But when we decoded JWS, we found what price are specified in units (but we were expecting to get milliunits)
We using https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/product/purchaseresult/success
switch result {
case .success(let verification):
let jwsRepresentation = verification.jwsRepresentation
...
And when we decoded jwsRepresentation we get
{
"transactionId": ".....",
"originalTransactionId": ".....",
"webOrderLineItemId": ".....",
"bundleId": ".....",
"productId": ".....",
"subscriptionGroupIdentifier": ".....",
"purchaseDate": ".....",
"originalPurchaseDate": ".....",
"expiresDate": ".....",

"environment": ".....",
"transactionReason": ".....",
"storefront": ".....",
"storefrontId": ".....",
"price": 12990,
"currency": "USD"
}
Today, I can no longer create a new version for my Apps. Getting "An error has occurred. Try again later"...
This has never happened to me before.

Hello Apple Support,
I'm reaching out in desperation, as my Apple Developer account was suddenly blocked without any prior notice. I'm writing from a different email address because I can't access my original account at all.
I've dedicated years of hard work, energy, and resources to build my applications and support my users through this platform. The sudden blocking of my account has not only put my business in jeopardy but also significantly impacted my personal life, as my income and livelihood heavily depend on it. The potential loss of revenue and the disruption to my users is devastating.
I’m deeply hurt and disheartened by the lack of communication and would appreciate any help to resolve this situation as quickly as possible. I kindly request guidance on how I can recover my account, or at the very least, understand why this action was taken.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I’m hopeful for a quick resolution.
Dear Apple,
Suggestions to rise tour TKDN in IS:
Make small components from ID, such as iPhone case,IPad case, etc
Continue with Productivity to build Apple Developer, recruiting local developer and headed by Apple developer
Train local technician to repair or replace some components from Apple device (off course they must be original parts).
I think it will fit 35% or more TKDN
p.s: someone in my family is interested to be Apple Dev, and increase skill from Android Dev

Hi,
I am currently a Phd student from CMU working on a XR project with Vision Pro. I found the latest released enterprise APIs can be really helpful for our project, especially the configuration of the object tracking provider.
However, I found a personal developer account can not access those APIs. And also it requires me to be a founder of the organization of the university when I try to update my account to an organization(CMU). I wonder is there any way to let the student still have a chance to try those fantastic APIs and some research based on them?
I really need those functions and I believe what I am working on is also going to be a great demo of the Vision Pro.
Thanks,
We have an app that is unfortunately in business mode. It is impossible for customers to search. We want to make it public for the convenience of users. We have submitted 2 new apps with new bundler id, both return the same answer: bussines 3.2 and no advice.
Any comments are welcome. Please help us.

Hello, I am writing a research paper for my college marketing class and was hoping to get some insight as to the cost structure applicable to an online gambling app. The hypothetical app in question is an app in which users are able to use real money to bet on games but I can not find a cost structure besides the common in app purchase revenue sharing model of 30%. Is this still applicable in this hypothetical case or is an alternative revenue sharing model applicable due to this app's unique structure. Furthermore, would this fee be taken from bets (due to the apps losses) or from all realized profits?
