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

How to Create Organization Account
Hey Community! I am seeking your help. I have tried Apple Support but to no avail. I know they are busy with a lot of requests, understandable. I previously had my personal developer account (which I used to use for building apps). But then I started my own consultancy/business. Now I want to create apps for my organization. From what I understood from their guidelines: 1/ Create a new individual account with your organization. 2/ Somehow link it to an organization account using DUNS number, etc. I am still stuck at point 1 because it doesn't verify my personal ID (could this be because it is linked to my old personal account). Can someone walk me through the process of creating an organization account?

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?

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?

Guideline 3.2 - Business
Hello, Thank you for your message. Regarding 3.2, we still find that your app is intended to be used by a specific business or organization, including partners, clients, or employees, but you've selected public distribution on the App Store in App Store Connect. To resolve this issue, it would be appropriate to review the other distribution options available for apps designed for specific businesses or organizations and choose a distribution option that works for your app and users. You can review these app distribution options on Apple Developer. I appreciate the help to get out of this inconvenience. Thank you.

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.

iOS 18 - Cannot Open Newly Installed In-House Apps After Removing MDM
Hi, I am experiencing an issue with in-house apps on iOS 18. When the MDM profile is removed, newly installed in-house apps cannot be opened. However, previously installed in-house apps still work fine until the device is restarted. Context: Our in-house apps are not distributed via MDM but through an internal company app store. These apps are signed with an enterprise certificate and have been working fine on previous iOS versions. Steps to reproduce: Install an in-house app while the MDM profile is active -> The app works fine. Remove the MDM profile. Install a new in-house app (signed with the same enterprise certificate) The newly installed app does not open at all. The existing in-house apps installed before MDM removal continue to work normally. Restart the device. Now, even the previously installed in-house apps no longer open. Observed behavior: The newly installed in-house app does not open, and no trust prompt appears in Settings > General > VPN & Device Management. The previously installed in-house apps continue to function normally until the device is restarted. After restarting, none of the in-house apps open anymore. Is there a now restriction in iOS 18 regarding in-house app installation after MDM removal? Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

ExFAT External Drive Deletion is Slow
Hello guys, I wanted to reach out to see if any of you have experienced or come across an issue we are facing in our organization. We are encountering a campus-wide problem where Macs are take an unusually long time to delete files on external drives formatted with ExFAT. We manage these Macs through Jamf Pro, and numerous policies are applied when the devices are enrolled. We have tested the issue in both scenarios—when the Macs are connected to the domain and when they are not—and the slow deletion persists in both cases. At this point, we are unsure whether the issue lies on our end or if it is related to the operating system itself. If anyone has found a fix or workaround for this problem, we would appreciate your input.

Unable to Generate MDM CSR for Apple Push Certificates Portal
Hi I am trying to develop Apple MDM solution as a vendor. I got the Vendor certificate from apple developer portal. When I was trying to generate the csr and upload to Portal (https://identity.apple.com/pushcert/) It says Invalid Certificate Signing Request. I had also tried to follow documentation (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/setting-up-push-notifications-for-your-mdm-customers) but still the same error. Can anyone please guide how to generate the csr.

Captive Portal API (RFC-8908)
Our organization is deploying passwordless authentication. Instead of using a password, employees must use the Microsoft Authenticator app to complete the login process. Unfortunately, employees with passwordless authentication can't complete the login on the Wi-Fi Captive portal with SAML authentication. The reason is that when an employee switches to the Microsoft Authenticator app, the Apple CNA (Apple Network Captive Assistant) disappears. As a result, the authentication process breaks. According to the https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=q78sq5rv source, iOS 14+ devices support the RFC-8908 standard. Unfortunately, we couldn't find a reliable source on how this feature works on iOS devices. The question is: Is it possible to automatically forward Wi-Fi clients to the SAML authentication portal in the default browser app (for example, Safari) after connecting an employee to Wi-Fi?

Force-renew Enterprise Provisioning Profiles of iOS Distribution Managed Certs?
Last year I used the iOS Distribution Managed Certificate (Enterprise Program) to sign an App and to distribute it internally. The Cert is still valid until May 2026. But its associated Provisiong Profile (which is not visible in the Apple Portal, but within Xcode when you export your archive) expired last week. Until then it was impossible for me to somehow force renew the profile and that lead to the fact that my app was not usable for a day, because the renewal was done after the expiration of the old one. Whats the whole point of the managed signing if can't influence the provisioning update. To be clear: I don't speak about the certificate - just about the profile. Or am I using it wrong?
