Hello.
I have a mobile iOS app Im connecting with Stripe currently. Ideally to have content creators get paid based off their content. My question is, is this best approach to getting creators paid and are able to do this with Apple.
If my iOS app allows for creators to create content and lock it for their audience. their subscribers can pay a onetime or an ongoing subscription to unlock their content like articles for example. I give them an 8% platform fee.
However we are using apple pay for their supporters to also pay with to unlock their content. This means we need to abide by the 30% Apple cut.
These creators are based in different countries, as well as their supporters are also based in different countries.
We use Stripe to connect these dots. Allowing the creator to signup through Stripe as a business. Their supporters pay with Stripe (Apple Pay and / or Card) We then allow them to get paid out what they earned from the supporter. All through Stripe.
Question:
Is this a good way of going about it?
Would we get rejected?
**Payout question **
Is there another way of handling this? Outside of Stripe?
**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? 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.
All the best

I'm implement the app store notification handling on Refund case, but there is one point that i'm not sure and there seems little evidence from the notification doc.
So if a customer requested for a refund for its current active subscription, and App store processed the refund and refund the customer. Now
what would be the status of this subscription? still active, set to cancel at period end, or canceled already?
If the answer to 1. is "set to cancel" or "canceled already", would there still be notifications to my webhook endpoint just like these lifecycle events went through "normal" customer action to cancel the subscription?
Any details would be much appreciated, Thanks!
Hi,
i’ve purchased developer license and received confirmation email
but my account is still pending, and actually its keep asking me to pay, but i already paid.
although also dont get any response from support.
Any idea please?
thanks.
After updating iPhone from 17.4 to 17.5.1 UIPrintPageRenderer completely hangs app when getting NumberOfPages from Renderer.
var render = new UIPrintPageRenderer();
if (webViewPages != null && reportIndex < webViewPages.Length)
{
render.AddPrintFormatter(
webViewPages[reportIndex].ViewPrintFormatter,
0);
}
else
{
render.AddPrintFormatter(
new UIMarkupTextPrintFormatter(reportContent),
0);
}
var printable = CoreGraphics.CGRectExtensions.Inset(page, 0, 0);
render.SetValueForKey(NSValue.FromCGRect(page), new NSString("paperRect"));
render.SetValueForKey(NSValue.FromCGRect(printable), new NSString("printableRect"));
var pdfData = new NSMutableData();
UIGraphics.BeginPDFContext(pdfData, page, null);
int pageNum = 0;
for (pageNum = 0; pageNum < render.NumberOfPages; pageNum++)
{
UIGraphics.BeginPDFPage();
var bounds = UIGraphics.PDFContextBounds;
render.DrawPage(pageNum, bounds);
}
UIGraphics.EndPDFContext();
My WWDC24 Developer Lab confirmation email said to come here if there are questions or issues. Well I was on the Webex at the appointed time and no one showed up. What is my next course of action?
Every WWDC, Apple shows a list of new features for each platform & OS as a single image containing a collage of images and factoids. They are often displayed in the videos. Where can I find these images?
Thanks
Hi,
After upgrading my iPhone 15 pro max to ios18 beta, i am facing serious heating issues and battery draining very fast. Also, i can see the mobile charging speed is very low. any recommendations to fix the issue ? I can't downgrade the mobile since there are high chances that i may loose currently configured esims after downgrade.
I am having issues connecting my iPhone 13 to any high speed internet/data. The best I can get is 3G which is nothing anymore. I am using Public Beta 17.5.1

I have beta 8 version on my iPhone and recently it acts strangely
where can I get support?
Why Apple intelligence not available for iPhone 15 plus. it’s not fair because I think Apple are for forcing people Buy expensive iPhone 15 pro or pro max, it’s excuse by Apple its do with A 17 chip. Whereas A16 can handle A I feature. Apple wants to make money.
Hi All,
I have developed an application in Flutter, and on deploying the application in iOS, happened to get a trust issue, got thru it, but not able to "Verify the app" in spite of good WIFI.
PS: I don't have a VPN.
hi, i want to know the status of ios device, like lock, unlock, wifi, roaming data, location, call start, call end even when my app is in killed state to increase the user interaction. How can i achieve this? If this is not possible then how are the 3rd parties like madme are able to integrate such features
Hi Everyone,
As a team from the company, Pearson (Located in Sri Lanka, the United States, the United Kingdom, India, Australia, China etc.) is working in the software quality engineering field and focusing on compatibility testing on browser versions and the OS versions available in the market.
Right now we are facing an issue, especially in iOS devices where the number of users testing the Chrome beta in the TestFlight hit the threshold value (You can ONLY invite up to 10,000 external testers using their email address or sharing a public link.).
As a result, we are unable to install the Chrome Beta on iOS devices to continue our compatibility testing which is critical for our application compatibility testing
Anyone who does not test or use the Chrome beta app in the TestFlight anymore can delete the Chrome Beta app from the TestFlight.(It will decrease the number of registered users to less than 10,000 )
So that users like us who test our products with the Chrome Beta version will be able to register as Chrome Beta testers and can continue our testing without any hassle.
It would be highly appreciated to let others who need to register as Chrome Beta testers in Test Flight to perform their testing
Crowdstrike Falcon vs Xcode performance
Our IT department is using CrowdStrike Falcon, an ML-security tool, on all the Mac hardware. It will flag processes as malicious, and it sounds like it may sandbox such processes that are deemed malicious and / or scan anything the process touches.
TLDR
Does anybody know how to make CrowdStrike Falcon behave nicely with Xcode and its tools and prevent it from consuming high CPU and interfering with the build and debugging processes? Xcode, SwiftUI previews and building should be as performant as possible.
Details
Perplexity describes CrowdStrike Falcon as follows:
CrowdStrike Falcon is a cloud-based endpoint security platform that provides real-time protection against malware, ransomware, and other cyber threats. It uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to detect and prevent known and unknown threats across endpoints (laptops, desktops, servers, etc.), cloud workloads, and cloud environments. The Falcon platform includes next-generation antivirus, endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed threat hunting, vulnerability management, and other security capabilities delivered through a lightweight sensor that streams data to the CrowdStrike cloud for analysis and response.
The problem is that apparently Falcon's ML signatures will flag Xcode as malicious. So when building in Xcode, Falcon will use a huge amount of CPU (I have seen it go up to 456%), affecting build performance. I am getting the impression it is sandboxing and / or scanning every single file Xcode touches. The same goes for the iOS Simulator which will also cause Falcon to consume lots of CPU. It's clear this is affecting our build performance a lot.
Falcon supports a number of exclusions:
Machine learning (ML) exclusion: For trusted file paths, stop all ML-based detections and preventions, or stop files from being uploaded to the CrowdStrike cloud.
Indicator of attack (IOA) exclusion: Stop all behavioral detections and preventions for an IOA that’s based on a CrowdStrike-generated detection.
Sensor visibility exclusion: For trusted file paths that you want to exclude from sensor monitoring, minimize sensor event collection, and stop all associated detections and preventions. Use sensor visibility exclusions with extreme caution. Potential attacks and malware associated with excluded files will not be recorded, detected, or prevented.
Using Sensor Visibility Exclusions it is possible to exclude applications on file pattern basis and preventing Falcon's ML signatures for flagging any such process as malicious. Which means that it is possible to exclude /Applications/Xcode.app/** and prevent it, or the processes it spawns, as malicious.
However, Xcode and the toolchain are much more complicated than just excluding a single binary. Switching toolchains via sudo xcode-select -s will also update a lot of files in /usr (see Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr) such as /usr/bin/swift*, /usr/bin/ibtool*, /usr/bin/lldb and /usr/bin/xcrun (there are many more).
For testing Xcode performance we excluded /Applications/Xcode.app/** and /usr/bin from Falcon, but just launching the simulator and a simulator build of the app will still cause Falcon to go up to about 300%. I assume this will affect SwiftUI live previews as well. Probably /Users/*/Library/Developer/** should be excluded as well then?
Obviously, Falcon's AI/ML should just identify all of this as legitimate software development tools and no exclusions should be necessary...
IMHO a file-pattern based exclusion seems to contradict what this tool is supposed to do. I would think it should evaluate signing (codesign / spctl) or validate checksums, rather than file pattern based exclusions. But as long as Xcode becomes more performant I am not complaining. The less an IT tool is flagging legitimate software as malicious and interfering with our daily work, the better.
So my question is if anybody knows how to make CrowdStrike Falcon behave nicely with Xcode and its tools and prevent it from consuming high CPU and interfering with the build and debugging processes? Xcode, SwiftUI previews and building should be as performant as possible.

The only message i get is
Cannot Add Card
There are no available cards to add.
Any help here is appreciated.
