I'm using apple maps to build a feature so users can create and save running/cycling/hiking routes.
Currently the map only shows trails and similar local paths after zooming in to what is basically an extreme level.
I want the trails and local paths to be more visible on a further, broader level of zoom.
APPLE MAPS JS EX:

APPLE MAPS iOS EX:

Also strange that on iOS the path is visible while more zoomed out whereas JS does not.
Please advise how to show these map items at a broader zoom.
Greetings,
We have been rejected in the review of our App for a code non-compliance with 4.3 Design guidelines. Our App appears to be similar to others, and indeed it is similar in functionality and appearance. The others that are similar have been developed by us as well, these being customisations that are specifically targeted at the companies or accounts we deal with.
The truth is that we have gone through several reviews of the other Apps before when we submitted them for publication at the time.
We know that there are other development companies that customise Apps for different brands and in these cases there has been no reason for rejection by the Apple Store.
We are beginning to think that there may be certain factors that are directly influencing the rejection of this App:
The mockups or screenshots we are using are similar to those of another App we have published with the same functionalities.
The backgrounds of the App have a gem of colours similar to that of the other App.
And now we wonder:
Is it possible that he rejected it solely because of design issues with the presentation screenshots and backgrounds of the App?
Apart from the appeal that can be submitted to the Store via the review form, is there any way to contact Apple by phone to determine exactly why the App was rejected?
How do other companies upload the same custom App and get it reviewed?
I can’t figure out how to make the iOS 18 photoshop template for app icons work. In the past, each variant of the icon size was an
editable layer you could open up, change and save. In this one, only the large App Store icons are editable. So I thought maybe if I put my icon in the App Store layer, the smaller icons would automatically scale and fill in. But they don’t. When I checkmark the generate assets option, it generates all the icon files, but all of them are blank, except for the App Store one. I don’t really want the smaller icons to just automatically scale down anyway; I would rather have them be fine-tuned by hand so that they look good at all sizes.
I used the sketch template in a free trial of sketch and it automatically scaled and generated all of the icon sizes, as expected. But I don’t own sketch; I use Photoshop and Illustrator for all of my work.
I’ve always been able to use the template in the past; it’s only this year‘s iOS 18 version that isn’t working for me.
APP有一個UI是輸入數字的TextField,每輸入一個數字會自動跳至下一個TextField,總共有6個Textfield,但是用戶輸入時,畫面顯示的數字會自動縮小,並取不到Textfield的值,非常奇怪!!
I’m trying to create a custom animation for a button in SwiftUI, but the animation doesn’t seem to trigger properly when the button is pressed. I’ve followed the standard approaches using withAnimation, but the button only occasionally animates. Has anyone encountered this issue? Are there specific guidelines or common pitfalls in SwiftUI for button animations that I might be missing? Any insights would be appreciated!
In visionOS, i have been trying to implement this view as a background for information view, but i cannot find any information about it anywhere. Does anyone know what this is called or any workaround to achieve this look?
Hi, so, we grabbed a couple of nice new watches the other week (Ultra for dad, SE for teenage son). Mostly cool and working together (calls, messages, maps, walkie talkies, etc, etc). All good.
But then son said, "Dad, why can't I see my sleep stuff like you can..?". He was right, it wasn't working. Looking around a bit, it turns out that there are a bunch of things that are turned off or not available when pairing a kids watch with dad's phone.
From the Apple page: "The following features and apps are not available: Medications, respiratory rate, irregular heart rhythm notifications, ECG, AF History, Cycle Tracking, Sleep, Wrist Temperature, Blood Oxygen, Walking Steadiness, Audiobooks, Remote, News, Shortcuts and the double-tap gesture".
Now dev-me reacts to this situation with: "Ok, so let's just build a little standalone sleep app for son's watch. There must be lots of parents out there who would like the same thing". And there are also a bunch of other "family sharing" enabled apps that when you try and use them on kid's phone, say "iPhone requireed", i.e, they don't apparently work with just a watch hooked up to mum or dad's phone.
So before I dive into that kind of project, which seems like an obvious fix path from a dev and a parents' point of view: does anybody know if this from Apple's point of view is a hardware, a software or a legal/age limitation? What's the basic framework/dev/design issue here?
Is it something on the device(s) that prevents sleep data from even being collected on family/kids paired watches? (Therefore don't bother trying to build an app); I assume not becauses it's just a normal SE used by a kid; or
Is it "just" that Apple hasn't wanted to make that available without a kids iPhone too (Therefore you could certainly build a standalone app to do what Apple hasn't wanted to do); or
Netiher 1 nor 2, but Apple won't even allow Sleep data collection for kids for some legal/health data reason (Therefore don't bother trying to build the app).
Hello Apple Dev Team,
I’m seeking guidance on how to ensure full compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines, specifically section 3.1.1 (In-App Purchase).
In-App Purchase Mechanisms:
I want to verify that my app is correctly using in-app purchases to unlock premium content, rather than alternative mechanisms. The guidelines outline various restrictions on unlocking content (e.g., license keys, QR codes, cryptocurrency). If I follow all of these restrictions, would Apple require anything else specific to prove compliance?
Subscription Handling Across Platforms:
Our app plans to offer a subscription service where users could subscribe on Android and then access the content on iOS with the same credentials (similar to Netflix). Users should also have the option to manage (including canceling) their subscription directly from their iOS device. Are there any specific requirements or precautions I should take to facilitate this cross-platform subscription access while remaining compliant?
Restoring Purchases:
I see that in-app purchases must have a restore mechanism. Could you confirm if Apple expects any specific UX or technical standards here, particularly if there are multiple types of IAPs?
I’d appreciate any insights or examples from other apps that meet these requirements successfully. Thanks in advance!
This should help clarify your approach, ensuring alignment with Apple’s guidelines.
I like this font. but in license only allowed for use in Mockup UI.
Feel free to use in commercial?

Hello again , i'm Enrik Sulaj .How can i find how to solve the problem ? Its almost impossible to solve by just guessing it . The app review need to be specific too .They just say "we cant provide" , how can i find the problem by myself if they created it and cant give me specified proof that i violated 4.3.0 Design-Spam ? If i did something it need facts to be proven . If there are no facts , there is not a problem . If there is a problem , with full details which object is duplicated it will be fixed soon . But there is not facts , not proofs , not a single detail , just random things . My 2 games are taking longer time waiting to be published , but apple review team reject games with not an single detail how to fix . The just keep rejecting without showing facts , real reasons and without giving helpful support .I disagree with their decision .
Why is My 1 month & 21days old my iPhone 15 pro max is draining battery health too fast, just one and half month old and it has already lost 2% battery health although i charge about only 50-60% charge daily and never charged it 0-100 then also please help if someone can?😭
I want to know why there is no video frame data when RePlaykit enters the background and then enters the foreground?
The format of photos on the new iOS 18 and its updates is HORRIBLE. Not userfriendly, not easy to navigate, not even appealing to the eye. I can’t even see my favorites album anymore and have to search for it every time. In short, I hate it. Well done Apple
Hi,
I have a view that should do the following:
Set up and confirm a passcode upon account creation.
Verify passcode if signing in.
Reset passcode if prompted.
With the code below, functions 1 and 2 are working. However, I'm having an issue with function 3. I am able to declare the reset UserDefault on a previous view so that the proper logic occurs, which is to read in the input, and then confirm it. However, it is not working as intended. In this code here:
else if reset {
UserDefaults.standard.set(passcode, forKey: "new-passcode")
UserDefaults.standard.set(false, forKey: "reset-passcode")
passcode = ""
}
I store the new passcode, set reset to false, and clear the passcode so it can be entered again to confirm. The code does not run as intended however. The title does not change and I'm unsure if it is actually storing the passcode. And, when re-entering, it does not change the view as it should by setting view = .someView. I'm assuming there is just flaw in my logic but I'm not sure how to resolve this. Below is the full code. Please let me know if any further clarification is needed.

I have an app for musicians that works with Songs and Setlists. The logical structure is as follows:
A Setlist contains Songs.
A Song has Sections, which include Lines (chords & lyrics).
I want to view my Setlist in a "Page View," similar to a book where I can swipe through pages. In this view, the Song Sections are wrapped into columns to save screen space. I use a ColumnsLayout to calculate and render the columns, and then a SplitToPages modifier to divide these columns into pages.
Problem: The TabView sometimes behaves unexpectedly when a song spans multiple pages during rendering. This results in a transition that is either not smooth or stops between songs.
Is there a better way to implement this behavior? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
struct TestPageView: View {
struct SongWithSections: Identifiable {
var id = UUID()
var title: String
var section: [String]

//songs

var sections: [String] = []
for _ in 0...20 {
sections.append(randomSection() + "\n\n")
}
songs.append(SongWithSections(title: "Song \(i)", section: sections))

I created an app for fine art for iOS and for the screenshots, I originally had art by actual artist so it was denied by Apple: under the guideline 2.5.10 – performance – software requirements.
"To resolve this issue, please revise your app to complete remove or fully configure any partially implemented features. Please ensure your screenshots do not include any images of demo, test, or any incomplete content. To resolve this issue, please revise your app to complete, remove, or fully configure any partially implemented features. Please ensure your screenshots do not include any images of demo, test, or other incomplete content."
This is what Apple reviewer said, so I removed the screenshots of the actual artwork and replace them with the app's logo and I am still getting denied. I don’t know what to do, complete removal of any images would hinder showing off the app features. I asked them to clarify and they repeated the statement above.
Hi, my name is Yuki.
I'm developing an application with generative AI for junior and high school students based on the Nocode tool "bubble" (BDK Native).
I want to upload this app to the App Store, however, a notch-like interface element is appearing only in the iPad environment, which is causing my app to fail App Store review.
I've reached out to the BDK Native support team about this issue, but they were unable to identify the cause and only offered a refund as a solution. This is particularly frustrating as I'm unable to proceed with the App Store publication, and time is passing without a resolution.
Technical details:
The notch appears only on iPad devices
The issue is not present on iPhone versions
The app was built using bubble/BDK Native
Multiple App Store submissions have been rejected due to this UI issue
Has anyone encountered a similar issue or knows how to resolve this iPad-specific interface problem? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as this is blocking our app's release.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Hello
In the past, the documentation and specifically design guidelines were quite clear about the fact that having an exit button was not a good thing, and programmatically exiting the app was prohibited and ground to rejection by the review team.
Looking though the documentation and guidelines nowadays, I cannot find any explicit mention of this. We have a client that want us to add such button on the main menu of an app, and we are looking to hard evidence that this is against standards.
Has Apple stance on this changed ? Or have I missed it in the doc somewhere ?
