Dear Mr. Cook, I am writing to you today to urge you to take action to save the Apple Vision PRO and turn it into a revolutionary flight simulator. I believe that the Vision PRO has the potential to completely transform the world of flight simulation, but it needs your support to reach its full potential. Unleashing the Vision PRO's Potential: A Game-Changer in Flight Simulation The Vision PRO is a unique and powerful device that holds immense promise for delivering an unparalleled level of immersion and realism in flight simulation. However, current sales figures indicate that it is not yet reaching its full potential. I believe this can be attributed to several factors, including: Limited Marketing and Promotion: The Vision PRO has not been effectively marketed to its target audience, comprising pilots, flight schools, aviation enthusiasts, and gamers. Lack of Dedicated Flight Simulation Software: Currently, there is a scarcity of high-quality flight simulation software specifically designed for the Vision PRO. Absence of Strategic Partnerships: Apple has not formed partnerships with major aviation or flight simulation companies to promote and develop the Vision PRO. Transforming the Vision PRO into a Flight Simulation Powerhouse I am confident that by addressing these issues, Apple can transform the Vision PRO into a resounding success. Here are some specific recommendations: Invest in a Comprehensive Marketing Campaign: Apple should target its marketing efforts towards pilots, flight schools, aviation enthusiasts, highlighting the Vision PRO's unique capabilities. Partner with Leading Flight Simulation Software Developers: Apple should collaborate with developers to create top-notch flight simulation software tailored specifically for the Vision PRO, maximizing its potential. Forge Strategic Partnerships with Industry Leaders: Apple should partner with major aviation and flight simulation companies to promote and develop the Vision PRO, leveraging their expertise and reach. A Call to Action: Unleashing the Vision PRO's Revolutionary Potential I am convinced that by implementing these steps, the Vision PRO can become the premier flight simulator on the market, revolutionizing the way people train to become pilots, hone their skills, and simply enjoy the thrill of flight. I urge you to give this matter your serious consideration. The Vision PRO is a truly exceptional product that has the potential to make a real difference in the world. With your support, it can reach its full potential and become a groundbreaking product. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Pascal

We need to do some operations in a login screen, but when the user uses a WPA2-Enterprise network, the authentication to this network is only possible after the login process has already been completed. Is there a way to change the network on login screen or a way to authenticate on the WPA2-Enterprise network before a completed login? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1 - Use a WPA2-Enterprise 2 - Set WPA2-Enterprise as Auto-Join/Principal 3 - Reboot the Machine 4 - On the logon screen it's impossible to authenticate on the enterprise network even then type the username and password.

I entered the address but it cannot be verified. I tried Confirm many times but it still doesn't work. Is there anyone in this situation who can help me? Thank you !

I am a spatial computing / XR and Human-Computer Interaction researcher from a private university. I am interested in using the vision pro's newly-exposed camera access to develop and evaluate new algorithms for computational perception. ( WWDC session here: https://developer.apple.com/wwdc24/10139 ) I understand this is targeted at large enterprises, but I would like to know if by some means as a researcher affiliated with an educational institution I could develop private for-development-only applications for the vision pro with the enterprise APIs enabled. The intent is not to publish apps, but rather to contribute to the research community through R&D. However, to my knowledge, I would be ineligible as a normal "business" as I do not employee 100+ employees. I am an independent researcher, and on occasion, I collaborate within small research groups within my university that focus on this kind of camera-based perception algorithm development. Could someone from Apple comment? Thank you.

We are working with MDM service using VPP API, and trying to migrate Legacy APIs to new App and Book Management APIs. This document says Send the public key you generate to your Apple contact in a plain-text file. Do not share the private key. Also provide a brief description of your use case and product. I generated a key-pair and sent the public key to Apple Developer Program support, however they didn't know how to handle it. What means "your Apple contact" here? I already understand how to generate JWT token for the api.ent.apple.com. I want to know who authorize the public key for the organization. Thank you,

I know Apple Engineers are busy and it’s just been WWDC, but things seem very quiet here. There have been 17 posts in the past 10 days and only 6 of them have any replies. It’s great that non-Apple Engineers offer advice and assistance, but I kind of thought there’d be at least a reply from an Apple Engineer to each post?

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!

**Sales Tax ** I would love to understand this and find a process I can follow to be successful. I'm pretty new to sales tax world. Has there been a successful process that anybody else follows and can share? To calculate sales tax and do this on a yearly basis? If you're collecting any sales tax through your app with Apple or stripe etc. For not only the US, but if your product is also in different countries. Again I don't really know this sales tax stuff and I'm trying to learn it as I go.

Hi, We have a secure browser app using AAC for e-assessments and have observed issues when candidates use it on macs running macOS 11. If disconnected, users cannot reconnect when AAC is on and sometimes have to do a hard reboot. Others say they cannot even install the app or the app won't run. These issues seem to be only happening specifically with macOS 11, no problems observed so far with other macOS versions. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have a service that can be accessed via browser extensions on Chrome and Firefox. I've had a request for Safari. Setting up an account is done via a regular browser app, the browser extensions are free but an account with API keys to use it are by subscription. My question is I assume Apple wants it share, is this correct? The Safari browser extension requires and API key that is managed via our site. There is a subscription to use the service across different browsers and this is handled by our site NOT the extension. There would be a link to the admin site in the extension

Hello there! I'd like to know if it is possible to use Apple Business Manager API to create an automation for user creation, please. Thanks in advance.

I’ like to develop an online marketplace and service provider iOS app similar to the amazon for my startup company. I need standard functions like email registration, user profile, listings etc. And special functions like: location tracking, map, booking system, embedded messenger for the host and customers, internet surveillance camera and rating system, payment system. I have two questions: How much does it cost? Is it possible to develop it by myself and how long?(no programming background) Regards Sam [Edited by Moderator]

I've added my organization macbook air m2 2022 via apple configurator, however, the mac it not receiving the Remote Management prompt during setup. I've confirmed that the device in ABM is pointing to the connect server. Any ideas?

We're trying to make our Content Filter solution work on Shared iPads. We leverage the Network Extension framework, more specifically the Content Filter Providers. On regular, 1:1 iPads, this works perfectly fine. However, on Shared iPads we see some weird behaviour. Upon logging in with a MAID everything initially seems fine. However, in about 5 to 10 seconds the user is automatically logged out and an error indicating "a connection to iCloud could not be made" is presented to the user. After investigating the logs it turns out this is caused by the fact that the network is unreachable. For example: Jan 19 00:33:04 cloudd(CFNetwork)[5867] <Error>: Task <F5DC7C46-422D-4265-A364-B3C859BF6291>.<1> finished with error [-1009] Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1009 UserInfo={_kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=50, NSUnderlyingError=0xefe89ffc0 {Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1009 UserInfo={_NSURLErrorNWPathKey=unsatisfied (Path was denied by NECP policy), interface: en0[802.11], ipv4, dns, uses wifi, _kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=50, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=1}}, _NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey=<private>, _NSURLErrorRelatedURLSessionTaskErrorKey=<private>, NSLocalizedDescription=<private>, NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=<private>, NSErrorFailingURLKey=<private>, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=1} Test device: iPad Pro (11-inch) running iPadOS 17.2 (21C62) My assumption: It looks like the filter providers start "too late". In the meantime the device is trying to reach the network, but since there is a Content Filter configuration in place all traffic is denied until the extension is started (and the completionHandler has been called with a nil error). I can see in the logs that, about 5 seconds after the home screen is visible, the Content Filter Providers are starting: ... Jan 19 00:52:54 neagent(NetworkExtension)[7086] <Notice>: Extension request with data extension <our filterData bundle ID> started with identifier 63576D2C-A484-4D07-9753-ADC99BFDB7A6 ... Jan 19 00:52:55 neagent(NetworkExtension)[7086] <Notice>: Extension request with control extension <our filterControl bundle ID> started with identifier 51D19516-C860-48B8-AB83-0F43D5F613CB ... Is my assumption correct? Are the Content Filter provider even officially supported by Apple on Shared iPads? Is there anything we can do to fix this issue?

Hello everyone! The first time I needed Apple Support I had to wait 2 weeks. I wrote now 5 days ago to change my entity type from Individual to Company and I am afraid I am going to wait weeks or months for such a thing to happen. I wrote countless support emails asking for an update on my case number 102275785042, but I am receiving only the confirmation email that is lying that it takes 48 to respond. I have wrote my first app but I am stuck on this and everything is going to be for nothing because my client is leaving me. Taking in account that I don’t have an option to call, what can I do to get an answer from Apple? I am in Romania. If I get a phone number of a country that they really do offer support, will I be able to call, or have the issue addressed? I am getting desperate

Dear support team, i hav to renew the Apple Push-Tokens between MS Endpoint and Apple SchoolManager on several tenants/mdm. It always end with an error. I a´m using Microsoft Edge, Windows 11

As enterprise endpoint security/data loss prevention application, we need to detect data which is being transferred out of the enterprise context from their MacOS filesystem through applications like Cloud Sync or Email. Depending on the file content, type and size, we require some time for scanning the content being sent. This can range from milli seconds to few minutes for very large contents. But the Endpoint Security message has to be responded within the provided message deadline else application will be killed. This deadline is reducing with every macos release and its now only 15 seconds on macos sonoma which is blocking our use case of completing the scan before responding. We may scan it before but it imposes challenges of the data being modified before actual sent. So, we have to scan it on the fly and cant rely solely on the previous scans. Is there any way an Enterprise can customize this deadline value depending on the ES message and scanning application may be through MDM setting?

Good morning, community. I have an organization account. When creating the first application, it asked for the name of the organization again, in which I accidentally filled with the name of the application. Now, when trying to submit my app, I am told that I need to provide files showing that I'm the owner of that company, etc. But in reality, there's no company with that name, as it's only the name of the application. Is there a way to change this developer name back to my organization's name? I've seen this link, and they say there's no way to change it. What could I do in this scenario? I just enrolled; should I remove the account and enroll as an organization again? I need support, please. Thank you guys in advance.

Query: My ex colleague opened a individual apple developer account and we mutually published app there, but later on, he get separated, and move to an other town. I keep on using same account but he stopped. I don't have his contact detail as he have changed is contact and all details. Now I want to transfer account holder role to my name, where as apple says one can only do it in below scenario. ""Account Holder transfers for individual members are granted when a minor reaches the age of majority and can receive the Account Holder role from their guardian, or when the Account Holder is deceased. Assistance is required from Apple Developer Support."" Any Solution to my Problem?
