*Please bring back OG live wallpapers!*
Please bring back live wallpapers from previous iPhone models. I have an iPhone 8plus & I have the beautiful purple smoky live wallpaper. I was so obsessed with how pretty it looked when live but now it’s just the pic of the purple smokiness and no live movement. ): I would also like to point out that I cannot change my home-screen wallpaper without having to change my lock screen as well! What a bummer really bc i would at least like to keep the purple post-live wallpaper as my Lock Screen and be able to change my Home Screen!

Sheet Presentation
Hi, would appreciate based on my implementation how can I control the dimmed effect of sheet presentation on iOS 17 later. Here is my sample implementation: struct ContentView: View { @State private var present = true var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello, world!") } .padding() .sheet(isPresented: $present, content: { ContentView2() .modifier( SheetModifier( dismissDisabled: true, detents: [.medium, .large], dragIndicator: .hidden ) ) }) } } #Preview { ContentView() } struct SheetModifier: ViewModifier { var dismissDisabled: Bool var detents: Set<PresentationDetent> var backgroundInteraction: PresentationBackgroundInteraction var dragIndicator: Visibility var cornerRadius: CGFloat init( dismissDisabled: Bool = false, detents: Set<PresentationDetent>, backgroundInteraction: PresentationBackgroundInteraction = .automatic, dragIndicator: Visibility = .automatic, cornerRadius: CGFloat = 20 ) { self.dismissDisabled = dismissDisabled self.detents = detents self.backgroundInteraction = backgroundInteraction self.dragIndicator = dragIndicator self.cornerRadius = cornerRadius } func body(content: Content) -> some View { content .background(.clear) .interactiveDismissDisabled(dismissDisabled) .presentationDetents(detents) .presentationBackgroundInteraction(backgroundInteraction) .presentationDragIndicator(dragIndicator) .presentationCornerRadius(cornerRadius) } }

Dock issues in multiple screens after Sequoia update.
Hi there, I updated my MacBook Pro M2 to Sequoia today, and the dock does not move from one screen to another anymore. My work setup involves four screens, including my MacBook, which is now experiencing this dock issue. Also, I would love to display the dock on all monitors if possible.

Apple Maps Pins in Custom Map
I have been developing an app that includes some pinned locations. These are displayed on a map, and currently have the standard pins and SF Symbol pins. A few of the locations have a special symbol on Apple Maps, but the same symbol is not avalable in SF Symbols. I was wondering if it is possible to use the pins, other than the standard red, from Apple Maps.

SF Symbol License
Hi all, I am a UI/UX designer working on several commercial projects, and I have a few questions that I need you to answer: Can I use the icons from your SF Symbols set in my application? This is a SAAS application and is used on various platforms such as macOS and Windows. Is SF Symbols only allowed for use in applications running on Apple platforms? Meaning, if my application is used on a MacBook or iPhone, am I allowed to use your icon set? If usage is not permitted on platforms other than Apple’s, how can I legally use them on those platforms? Does Apple sell licenses for using SF Symbols on other platforms? If so, what is the cost? Looking forward to your response.

Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam
Hello dear friends, I created the application from scratch, but Apple writes to me to do it as a mistake, please tell me 😭😭😭 Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps previously submitted by a terminated Apple Developer Program account. Submitting similar or repackaged apps is a form of spam that creates clutter and makes it difficult for users to discover new apps. Next Steps Since we do not accept spam apps on the App Store, we encourage you to review your app concept and submit a unique app with distinct content and functionality. Resources Some factors that contribute to a spam rejection may include: Submitting an app with the same source code or assets as other apps already submitted to the App Store Creating and submitting multiple similar apps using a repackaged app template Purchasing an app template with problematic code from a third party Submitting several similar apps across multiple accounts Learn more about our requirements to prevent spam in App Review Guideline 4.3(a).

Carplay CPTabBarTemplate custom icons
Hello, I am a product designer trying to understand the UI design limitations of CarPlay. I am designing a scene where a CPTabBarTemplate will appear. From what I can read in the CarPlay development documentation, I understand that it should be possible to assign a custom icon for each tab with tabImage: UIImage?, if I am not mistaken. However, any reference I have found always uses SF Symbols, which makes me wonder if they can actually be customized. And on the other hand, if they are customizable, could any PNG be used for the tab that might compromise the driver's safety? Thank you in advance.

Carplay Developer Documentation with examples
Hello, I am a product designer trying to understand the UI design limitations of CarPlay. Since CarPlay renders templates in a single way and there isn't any option to change any component, is there any way to see in the documentation how that component will look once rendered? For example, if I want to incorporate a primaryButton: CPTextButton? in my CPPointOfInterest. How could I know how each CPTextButtonStyle will be displayed? Is there an accessible place where I can check how each component will be visualized? Thank you in advance.

How to attribute/credit Apple Fonts added to app?
My app lets users create things with text, and I've included Apple fonts so users can format their text with them. These were fonts I found in the Font Book app that comes with macOS. My assumption is that these, like the San Francisco font, can be distributed with apps. Do I need to attribute these fonts to their creators and publish a license in my "About" page? If so, where do I find the license(s) and what is the proper way of publishing them? Is there anything else I should know? Please let me know if this should've been posted under a different topic and tag

Carplay Design Resources
Hello, I am a product designer and I am currently working on a project that incorporates functionalities in CarPlay. Given the UI limitations that exist for app development with CarPlay, are there any pre-designed templates in Figma or any other resources that can be used to design the screens? This way, I can adhere to those templates knowing what the limits are. Thank you very much for your attention.

landscape support
I heard someone say recently that not supporting landscape on iPhone could be an accessibility problem for some folks. Right now I've got an SwiftUI app were lots of things break when I go to landscape mode. Is there a good resource to learn how to animate layouts around to support landscape when there's no way it will fit with the default twist?
