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!

Online Gambling app Fee structure
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?

kerberos without SSO on ios
Hello, at our school we are using a kerberos proxy. Now we will introduce ipads. In my tests I have set this proxy in wifi settings. On next internet connection I was asked for my account credentials. After that I had full access to internet with ALL apps. Obviously ios has set up a network relay which handles the kerberos authentication for the while device. I have searched for documentation on this topic, but you will find only docs for kerberos with SSO and per app tickets. Do someone has hints for this? Especially where are the password for the kerberos authentication stored on the ipad - it is not the same as in the wifi proxy settings! With regards, Helge

Apple ID & Apple School Manager
Is there a way for our app to deny Apple ID users from logging into the app if the Apple ID is not specifically managed by Apple School Manager? This would allow only students to be able to use the app. Basically is there a way for us to know if an Apple ID was created by Apple School Manager?

Is it OK to encapsulate xcframeworkA into xcframeworkB (encapsulation of xcframework only)?
We are considering the development of a new service, We would like to ask for detailed information on the feasibility of the following. Is it possible to encapsulate only xcframework, such as encapsulating xcframeworkA into xcframeworkB? If the above is possible, will the application incorporating the xcframework in the above state pass the review of apple?

App versions delivered via Intune crash on my device but work on others at my organization, possibly due to being denylisted.
I have an in house application that I develop for my company. The application requires our corporate MDM profile is installed on the phone. I recently got a new phone and our corporate IT team installed the MDM profile and the Comp Portal application for me to manage our corporate applications. I installed the application through the Comp Portal. It crashes right away when I launch the application and I see this error message in the Console when connected to the phone: "SpringBoard Snapshot generation request for bundleID: com.mycompany.mygroup.appName rejected due to the app being denylisted." I see other errors from runningboardd about failing to spawn the job and SpringBoard Bootstrapping failed for <FBApplicationProcess: 0x510affd80; app<com.mycompany.mygroup.appName>:> with error: <NSError: 0x301e60090; domain: RBSRequestErrorDomain; code: 5; "Launch failed."> I can launch a development version of the application with no problem by connecting the USB cable from my machine to my device and running through XCode. Other people have no problems launching the application. I compared all the certificates in the management profile with another device where the application does not crash and there are identical. We checked a number of settings on the devices to see if there could be something preventing the application from running but found nothing. We reset all settings and deleted and reinstalled the application with rebooting to see if perhaps it was an incomplete installation. Our IT folks want to wipe the phone and start over but I have little confidence that will fix the issue since we don't know the root cause. I am concerned that one of my Stakeholders might have the same issue if they get a new device. This application worked fine on my old phone. Device: iPhone 16 Pro Max iOS version: 18.2.1 Any ideas on next steps to troubleshoot this issue? How can I figure out the cause of the denylisting?

Distribution of App to outside company
Apologies if this has been asked before, but I am struggling to understand what our options are for app distribution for a new (to our company) use case. Note: we have both an Enterprise account as well as a standard App Store account. We are developing an Apple Vision app for a client company. We need to be able to distribute the app to people within our company as well as within the client company for testing. Once that is complete, we need to be able to distribute the app to a select group of employees in the client company. The client company does not have an MDM, so we originally thought to distribute the app using TestFlight. But that is not available with our Enterprise account. Is this something we can manage with a Business account since the devices involved would belong to our client company instead of ours? Is there a different solution to this workflow within the existing tools provided by Apple? Or is the only option to help the client set up an MDM/set up our own MDM to manage client devices for this?

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?

Timed Subscriptions availability
Hello, Is it acceptable to have subscriptions that are available for limited times on the app, for example I would like only 100 new paid subscription purchases on the App every month. When the 100 quota is finished, users might see something like "Check back next month". This is to control growth and marketing purposes.
