Reviewers are testing an old version
Hi everyone, We've submitted my app for review several times, making improvements with each submission. However, the reviewers keep providing generic feedback and irrelevant complaints. For example, we changed the logo and primary color, so it's clear they aren't reviewing the correct version. We've ensured that the latest version was properly uploaded for review. They also keep claiming the app contains "testing data" like lorem ipsum, but none of that is in the database anymore. I'm at a loss here. Does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this?

How to Implement Background Fetch in iOS App for Periodic Data Updates?
Hi everyone, I’m working on an iOS app and I need to implement background fetch to periodically update data even when the app is in the background. I’ve enabled Background Fetch in the capabilities, but I’m not sure how to properly set up the fetch intervals and ensure reliable data updates without draining too much battery. What’s the best approach to set the frequency of background fetches? Are there any specific best practices to optimize battery usage while using background fetch? Is there a way to ensure the fetch runs more frequently for time-sensitive data? Any advice or code examples would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.

iOS 18 / CarPlay
When is a fix coming? CarPlay is just a black screen whether cable or Bluetooth connected. Even before 18, connecting was troublesome, often taking 3 or 4 attempts. I’m seriously considering buying an android phone just to leave in the car - research indicates there virtually never issues with it and VAG infotainment.

Major update
Here are some reasons why Apple should consider an update to enhance message refreshing and chat sharing on WhatsApp, making it smoother across both iPhone and Android: Cross-Platform Compatibility • Problem: Right now, switching between iPhone and Android on WhatsApp can result in lost messages or complicated backup processes due to differences in operating systems and data formats. • Impact: A universal update allowing seamless message refresh and sharing would bridge the gap between iOS and Android. Users could switch devices without losing conversation history, making the experience more fluid and inclusive for both iPhone and Android users. Enhanced Data Security and Privacy • Problem: Many users rely on third-party methods to back up or transfer WhatsApp chats, which can pose privacy risks. • Solution: A unified system from Apple (and Android) could ensure that all backups and chat transfers are encrypted, keeping data private and secure, aligned with each platform’s commitment to data protection. • Impact: This would reduce security concerns for people using their devices for sensitive communications, such as business transactions or personal matters. Peace of Mind for Users • Problem: Many users worry about losing important messages when they upgrade their phones or change their operating systems. • Solution: An update that includes auto-refresh and universal chat-sharing across backups would make sure conversations and media are always accessible, no matter the device. • Impact: This peace of mind would lead to higher user satisfaction and reduce anxiety about data loss, enhancing WhatsApp’s reliability as a communication platform worldwide. Improved User Experience and Retention • Problem: The complexity of transferring chats between iOS and Android devices can push users to avoid switching or even consider alternatives to WhatsApp. • Solution: With a streamlined message and chat-sharing experience, users would find it easier to stay connected on WhatsApp, regardless of the device. • Impact: This could increase user retention and trust, making WhatsApp more indispensable as a global messaging platform. Greater Accessibility for Global Users • Problem: Many users globally use WhatsApp for family, work, and community connections, especially in areas where it is the primary communication tool. Losing messages or finding backup systems challenging can cause disruptions. • Solution: A message refresh and sharing update would support seamless transitions and backups, making WhatsApp more accessible and consistent. • Impact: This would support worldwide connectivity, especially in regions where WhatsApp is a lifeline for communication, fostering inclusivity and reducing digital barriers. Future-Proofing for Technological Advancements • Problem: As technology advances, the gap between iOS and Android compatibility could widen if not addressed now. • Solution: An update that includes flexible chat-sharing and message-refreshing capabilities would keep Apple and Android devices aligned and prepared for future features or communication needs. • Impact: This proactive approach ensures that WhatsApp remains relevant, adaptable, and future-ready for global users as both platforms evolve. Overall, this update could foster better communication, security, and user satisfaction worldwide. It would also help Apple and WhatsApp strengthen their roles as leaders in secure and universal messaging solutions.

IOS18
The disaster of upgrading from iphone12 pro to ios18 is as follows: The original charging cable worked intermittently. Only by adjusting many angles and even recessing the cable could charging be possible. After charging for a long time, it didn't charge at all. This has never been seen before the upgrade! I want to adjust the flight mode at any time, but I have to go through facial recognition to adjust it. This is something I haven’t seen before the upgrade! It’s very annoying. Connect the mobile phone to the computer to organize the photos in the photo album. Because of the upgrade to ios18, there is a problem with charging, so the photo album cannot be read at all. This is something that has never been seen before the upgrade! Is there a downgrade mode? Your team's upgrade was a disaster. I swear this is my first iPhone and it will be my last.

16" to 27" iPAD's
HI Apple, Can you please design & release a bigger iPad panel. Work the visual engineering side of Live Events & we need this now. Touchscreen support on MBP's always been terrible but with 'sidecar' we have an option, all be it a merger 13" one. Mac mini + Big iPad could be the ultimate 'on the road' office. Shareholders will be happy & you can still play the MacOS / IOS game whilst giving us pro users an option. Bring back Jony Ive?. Its 2024 Best, FF-44.

Clarification on PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression Behavior
We are implementing a feature that uses PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression to prevent the Wallet from appearing when unlocking a lock. We have already completed the approval process for the entitlement to enable Pass Presentation Suppression. In most cases, our code snippet works as expected, and the result is .success. However, we are also encountering other results, such as .denied, .alreadyPresenteding, and .cancelled, .notSupported, which cause the Wallet to appear for users. Here's the code snippet we're using: PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression { result in logger.log( .info, "PKPassLibrary suppression result: \(result.description)", LogContext.homeFeature ) } We would appreciate clarification on the following points: Could you explain the meaning of each result type (.denied, .alreadyPresenting, .canceled, .notSupported) beyond what is mentioned in the documentation? The documentation here does not provide additional details. What is the recommended handling for these specific result states? Should we be taking different actions or retries based on each case? ThankS!

APNs server certificate update and how it affects my app
Hello, I am seeking inputs on a recent news received from Apple on "Apple Push Notification service server certificate update". Link: https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=09za8wzy. We have some apps which uses Firebase push notifcation and Amazon SNS services. Since these are managed services, isn't it the responsibility of provider server to update the root certificate. Need someone to confirm. What about the applications which uses local servers?

CarPlay issues with my new LEXUS LBX
Hello, I am experiencing an issue with my new Lexus LBX car. The phone will not respond to ‘Hey Siri’ when i want to make a phone call or ask for directions. A manual approach through the cars infotainment system works and Spotify seems to work okay, but the system will not respond to a voice. The iPhone itself works fine with voice commands when not connected to my Lexus.

"Build Failed" su Xcode con Developement Team già inserito
Buongiorno a tutti! Sono nuovo su questo Forum e non ho mai progettato una app prima d'ora. Ho usato Unity e Xcode. Su Xcode lancio la build, ma mi replica sempre "Build Failed". Adesso spiego il problema e allego degli screen. L'app che sto cercando di lanciare viene dalla piattaforma Unity (versione 2022.3.46f1)+Vuforia per realtà aumentata. Su questa piattaforma funziona tutto (ho già avuto modo di ricontrollare); esporto il progetto nella cartella appositamente creata dopo aver cliccato su "Build"; apro il progetto su Xcode versione 16.0 (questa applicazione l'ho scaricata qualche giorno fa); collego il mio iPhone e il mio ID Apple andando su "Xcode" > "Settings" e collego il mio account; per collegare il mio iPhone vado su "Window" > "Devices and Simulators" e collego il tutto; dopodichè vado su "Targets" > "Unity iPhone" e controllo nelle sezioni "General" e "Signing and Capabilities" che tutto vada bene; modifico quindi il nome del team di sviluppo e metto il mio account "MARCO ARICO" (preventivamente attivato su Apple Developer con abbonamento annuale già pagato) e controllo che il "Bundle Identifier" sia lo stesso che ho inserito su Unity nella sezione "Player" > "Other Settings"; a questo punto mando la Build e mi dice dopo pochi istanti "Build Failed" con questo errore: "/Users/albertodanielemanzo/Desktop/Unity/App_7/Unity-iPhone.xcodeproj Signing for "Unity-iPhone" requires a development team. Select a development team in the Signing & Capabilities editor." Mi permetto di aggiungere che il Mac che sto usando è di un mio amico che me l'ha appositamente prestato per lanciare questa app e che tutti i passaggi che ho fatto sono frutto di approfondimento su tutorial YouTube e forum ufficiali di Unity e Xcode. Il pc che sto usando è un MacBook Air con macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 di un mio amico che me lo ha prestato. Tutti gli abbonamenti li ho fatti a nome mio. Il mio nome utente è lo stesso nome del team di sviluppo (Developement Team); l'abbonamento che ho stretto con Apple è di tipo individuale come sono miei i certificati scaricati per lo sviluppo dell'app. Ho già affrontato il problema con l'assistenza telefonica di Apple Developer e mi hanno consigliato di scrivere su questo Forum.
