Tech stack: React Native + Expo. We are using two solo developer accounts (not a business or team account). Context: Friend and I set out to make an app together. Friend created app and set it up on Apple. We worked on it together. He controlled devops (builds and submission). Friend no longer can commit to development. Wants to transfer to me. I create apple developer account. After app transfer, my phone (deviceid) underwent a 14 day soft ban preventing builds. That has since been lifted. There seems to be something in place preventing me from making dev builds on the original dev bundleid. It says it's still owned by him despite the app transfer. Bottom line: what needs to happen so 1 can make dev builds? nice to have: is there a way for us to both make dev builds under the same bundleid?

The app I'm working on has iOS 16.0 as target. Recently Live Activities support was added, but then it started crashing when running on iOS 16.0 devices. After some investigation, I've found that the culprit was the presence of NSUserActivityTypeLiveActivity and WidgetCenter.UserInfoKey.activityID, even though they were inside an @available(iOS 17.2, *) block. If I comment these two variables, the app work as expected. I've also tried adding #if canImport(ActivityKit) around the code, but without success. But if the @available isn't working, how can I prevent this? It looks like a bug, since the documentation says that NSUserActivityTypeLiveActivity is supported but iOS 14.0+, but I'm pretty sure it was introduced on 16.1. This is the only output I get with the crash: dyld[66888]: Symbol not found: _$s9WidgetKit0A6CenterC11UserInfoKeyV10activityIDSSvgZ Referenced from: <D6EFF120-2681-34C1-B261-8F3F7B388238> /Users/<redacted>/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/8B5B4DC9-3D54-4C91-8C88-E705E851CA0F/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/DB6671FF-CB07-4570-BD63-C851D94FAF29/<redacted>.app/<redacted>.debug.dylib Expected in: <C5E72BB5-533F-3658-A987-E849888F4DFC> /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_20A360/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 16.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/Frameworks/WidgetKit.framework/WidgetKit

Hello, I have created a .NET MAUI application in Windows Visual Studio 2022. Also I have a MAC fully configured with latest Visual Studio for MAC and Xcode Installed. When pairing the MAC for windows machine I am able to run the simulators for various IPhone devices(as they are attached to MAC) but when I try to run for the MacCatalyst from my Windows machine it doesnt work. Is it possible to create a build for the MAUI application for MacCatalyst from my windows machine.The build should be created in my Windows folder directory.?

Hey, I am using the terminal a lot. Since I updated to Sonoma (so, really a long time ago). My prompt or more precise the hostname always changes between three states. Sometimes it is username@Macbook-Pro-of-XXX, sometimes username@MacbookPro and sometimes it's username@xxxxxxxx-yyyy-zzzz-aaaa-bbbbbbbbbbbb. The latter is probably my UUID. Does anyone have a clue why this randomly changes?

Hi everyone, I'm working on an NFC-related app using CoreNFC with APDU commands to read and write tags. I’ve encountered an issue when trying to handle the scenario where the user cancels the NFC session. Here’s what’s happening: When a user cancels the NFC session manually (e.g., by tapping "Cancel"), I see an error log indicating tagReaderSession|userCancelled. However, when I explicitly call session.invalidate(errorMessage: "No NFC tag found") in my code to handle a scenario where no tag is detected, the session still shows the error as userCancelled instead of my custom error message. This behavior is confusing both in terms of debugging and for providing feedback to users, as I expect my custom message to appear instead of the generic "user cancelled" message. func tagReaderSessionDidBecomeActive(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession) { // Session becomes active } func tagReaderSession(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession, didDetect tags: [NFCTag]) { // Handle tag detection logic } func tagReaderSession(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession, didInvalidateWithError error: Error) { print("Session invalidated with error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } func handleNoTagDetected(session: NFCTagReaderSession) { session.invalidate(errorMessage: "No NFC tag found") } I call handleNoTagDetected(session:) explicitly when no tag is detected, expecting the custom error message to show. However, the system still shows the cancellation error. Has anyone else experienced this behavior? Is this the intended behavior for CoreNFC, or am I missing something in my implementation? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Good day, everyone. I've already spent two days trying to figure out if this is even possible: I have a working project with a huge number of SPM dependencies. We need to wrap all of this into a framework that can be easily connected to another project. Currently, following the instructions on Apple's documentation, I've done everything step by step. However, after connecting the library to a new project and writing import Framework, I get the error: Missing required modules: [list of all SPM from Framework] I thought that a static framework implied that all dependencies would be bundled into the project, but that didn't happen. Are there any ways to solve this problem? Thank you!

Hello, According to documentation, the App Store does not re-download the entire app when updating, but instead generates an update package containing only the changed content compared to the previous version. I’d like to clarify the following points: 1. Granularity of file changes If only part of a large file changes, does the update package include the entire file, or does it patch only the modified portions within that file? 2. Guideline on separating files The documentation recommends separating files that are likely to change from those that are not. How should this be interpreted in practice? 3. Verifying the diff result Is there a way for developers to check the actual diff result of the update package generated by the App Store without submitting the app? Is there a diff command tool or comparison method closer to the actual App Store update process? 4. Estimating update size during development For apps with large-scale resources, minimizing update size is critical. Are there any tools or best practices to estimate the size of the update package before submitting to the App Store? Any clarification or reference materials would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have an issue when i use external tester with a public link and emails. Test fly is well installed but when i have to open the app, it just charge as seen in the screen.

I am new to Find My network development and i am going to use Nordic solution for my FMN application. I have asked the MFi representative to enable the "Find My network" in our MFi portal. But there are just a sets of PDF in the "Find My network" under "Technology" in MFi Portal. Is there any Find My network Supplementary Agreement in MFi portal? Is it a PDF or where can i find it? Because I need to sign this document back to Nordic solution representative. But it seems there are no such FMN Supplementary Agreement.

Apologies if this isn't tagged right but dev tools and services seemed the most appropriate since this is related to the workbench Ad Tester tool. I'm seeing a behavior where the preview link is not being generated. Specifically, I am seeing a POST request to the following URL consistently fail: https://iadworkbench.apple.com/adtester/api/v1/ads/previewLink?orgId=1127861 Variations/scenarios I have tried so far: All possible ad format choices on all possible devices All options for the placement type Both third party and uploaded creative sources Uploaded creative sources appear to be failing to upload as well A simple div with a "hello world" content fails as a third party creative source Multiple apple accounts I created a new account specifically to test if my primary apple ID was experiencing issues with this Multiple browsers I have tried multiple versions of Chrome/Firefox/Safari I tested with and without browser extensions to determine whether an extension was interfering or not Clearing session/local storage along with cookies I also created new profiles in browsers to verify that I was getting a fresh browser environment In all of these cases, the API request to generate a preview link is consistently failing with a 500 error code. It's worth noting that the web preview option works, but this isn't a truly accurate test environment and can't be solely relied on when testing ad content. I don't know exactly when this started happening as I have not used it in the last couple of weeks but I have used the workbench ad tester extensively in the past the same way I have been trying with my current test without issue. That coupled with the fact that the request for the preview link consistently fails in all of the test scenarios I've outlined above leads me to believe there is a problem with the API that is responsible for generating the preview links.

I’ve officially given up trying to release my app on iOS. Apple’s latest rejection quotes: • Guideline 5.1.5 – Location Services “The app uses location data for features that are not relevant to a user’s location. Specifically, the app is not functional when Location Services are disabled. To resolve this issue, please revise the app so that the app is fully functional without requiring the user to enable Location Services.” • Guideline 5.1.1 – Data Collection and Storage Complaining that the app “encourages or directs” users to go to Settings to enable location. My app is literally built around live location. The entire point is: you walk the circuit, see telemetry synced with where you are. No location, no app. That is the product. Apple wants the app to be “fully functional” without the one thing it needs to exist. That’s like rejecting a camera app because it doesn’t “fully function” with no camera permission. What makes this worse is the complete lack of consistency. Every time I fix what they ask, the next review comes back with a different problem, instead of a clear list of issues to solve in one go. No stable checklist, no coherent interpretation, just moving goalposts and copy-paste template replies that ignore reviewer notes and how the app actually works. They don’t seem to understand how incapable this process is for serious, niche apps. It’s not about quality or privacy at this point, it’s about box-ticking and cover-your-back behaviour. Meanwhile, small devs are supposed to burn weeks rewriting core flows just to satisfy someone who clearly hasn’t even tried to use the app properly. I’ve decided to keep the app Android-only. iOS simply isn’t worth fighting with a review system that can’t even be consistent with its own guidelines. Has anyone else had similar problems with Apple inventing a new issue every review instead of giving you one clear, stable set of requirements to fix?

Hello, There seems to be a regression with macOS SDK 15 and dynamically loading libraries if Address Sanitizer is turned on. Seems to only affect Debug builds, and .frameworks. I've also reported this via the Feedback Assistant: FB16513866 Here's a minimal repro, if anyone is interested: https://gist.github.com/peter-esik/6b00432e411be85333e14ae7d953966e I thought I'd post this here, as according to my web searches, this isn't a very well-known bug at this point.

Hi, I requested the https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=6482849843&country=us for getting the information of Goods puzzle sort challange , but the screenshotUrls in the response was empty. Is iTunes search API has issue with getting the screenshot urls ? Is there any plan to update it ?

Hello - I’m the Account Holder for an individual Apple Developer Program account. I’m working with freelance junior developers who are building my app in React Native mainly in TypeScript (.tsx) with some JavaScript, with code in GitHub. The app currently runs in Expo Go now. I’ve been directed to this forum for step-by-step guidance. Specifically I need clear, sequential instructions I can give my developers (and what I personally must do on my Mac) so they can produce a properly signed iOS build for TestFlight (internal testing), and Upload that build to App Store Connect and then submit the release to the App Store. Context: This is an individual developer account (not an organization). I am the only person with a Mac. I added them as developers but was told I need to be the one to upload the final build (is this true, and if so, what do they send me to do that, and when they send it to me, can you please tell me exactly what I need to do from there?) I was told about Swift Playground, possible SwiftUI conversion if needed, APK file, and using my Xcode for final submission, but not sure what to make of this that will get it on TestFlight from the current React Native. What I would like to ask for help with is a concise, step-by-step checklist (including exact menu names / commands or tools like EAS Submit, Transporter, or Xcode) of the developers' steps and my admin/account holder steps, so I can hand it to the developers and make sure nothing is missed to get on TestFlight. I’m on a tight timeline, so any clear, detailed guidance would be extremely appreciated. Thank you so much. I have looked everywhere and cannot find a step-by-step!

Hello all, I am building a simple Flutter app, and I want to support entering the app through an email. I have used flutter deep links on android and all works well, but for some reason on IOS it doesnt. What I have achieved: When clicking the link I do get navigated into the app, but I get navigated to whatever the last screen was, regardless of the path in the URL. Furthermore, the logical code inside the app doesnt seem to run either - no logs are printed etc. I have even tried following the flutter tutorial at https://docs.flutter.dev/cookbook/navigation/set-up-universal-links to the letter, and it doesnt work I am using: Flutter 3.22.3 Go Router 14.2.7 Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm not sure why but when my fileURL is .jpg file and I drop the file from my app to Finder folders it make the dropped file as .jpeg Is there a way to fix it? [.onDrag { if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: file.path) { // Provide the file as an item for dragging let fileURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: file.path) let itemProvider = NSItemProvider(contentsOf: fileURL) // Remove the file extension in the suggestedName let baseNameWithoutExtension = fileURL.deletingPathExtension().lastPathComponent itemProvider?.suggestedName = baseNameWithoutExtension return itemProvider ?? NSItemProvider() } else { // Handle the case where the file no longer exists print("File no longer exists at path: \(file.path)") return NSItemProvider() } })
