Attempting to run my app on the simulator or device seemingly leaves it stuck on the launch screen for a long time. Slowly, the terminal will start to relay info suggesting it's past that but still displays the launch screen until eventually it goes to a black screen. No changes I am aware of were made to cause these behavior to start. And it was a sudden issue. My last OS update was a few days ago and my last Xcode update was after this started to occur in hopes it would fix the problem. Recent code changes would have nothing to do with startup. I did try to delete derived data and ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport/ based on solutions given to other users with similar problems. I've restarted the computer and cold restarted. When I stop the application from Xcode, I can then run the app. It's just when it's attached. It will also work if "Debug executable" is off. Other apps on this computer do not seem to have this problem. Would appreciate any help. Thanks.

I'm using AppStoreConnect_Swift_SDK to add achievements to Game Center. Everything looks ok. I'm able to add achievements, localizations, and seem to be sending the images correctly. Yet when I try to update 'isUploaded' to 'true', I get "The request failed with response code 500 UNEXPECTED_ERROR".
And while the error says it's server side, I suspect it is something wrong on my side. GCAI.id is the image reservation id.
let data = GameCenterAchievementImageUpdateRequest.Data(type: .gameCenterAchievementImages, id: GCAI.id, attributes: .init(isUploaded: true))
let req = GameCenterAchievementImageUpdateRequest(data: data)
let request = APIEndpoint.v1.gameCenterAchievementImages.id(GCAI.id).patch(req)
let gcaiRes = try await self.provider.request(request).data
Other than going through the SDK, this looks like Hubert's Video. So I suspect it doesn't like something else but the error just isn't that informative? I could ask the SDK author but every issue I've worked out so far has just been from misunderstanding the API and not related to the SDK itself.
In the viewer, the model looks great. I then bring it into the scene and it looks great. But I want to change the material programmatically. Yet this makes it look ugly. It's a physically based light model and a metallic material. Yet renders like a relatively flat phong. The detail of the other maps is there. The color is just flat and off.
To eliminate all other variables, I started applying my programmatic material right after creating the node. The material is intended to be the exact same as the one I set in the viewer. Yet I get the same ugly result when I set it to the programmatically created version.
Then I only changed the diffuse contents. And this looks great. Hopefully this isn't a stupid question as I can't find any similar complaints. But what parameter is being set in the viewer that I am missing in the SCNMaterial?
The following is my attempt to copy all the settings from my viewer and repeat it in code. Nothing has really changed anything from just setting the usual content values:
let material = SCNMaterial()
material.lightingModel = .physicallyBased
let matScale: Float = 1.0///25.4
material.isDoubleSided = false
material.diffuse.contents = UIImage(named: "basecolor.png")
//material.diffuse.contentsTransform = SCNMatrix4MakeScale(matScale, matScale, matScale)
material.diffuse.wrapS = .repeat
material.diffuse.wrapT = .repeat
material.diffuse.mipFilter = .nearest
material.diffuse.magnificationFilter = .linear
material.diffuse.minificationFilter = .linear
material.diffuse.mappingChannel = 0
material.diffuse.maxAnisotropy = 1.0
material.metalness.contents = UIImage(named: "scuffed_metalic.png")
material.metalness.wrapS = .repeat
material.metalness.wrapT = .repeat
material.metalness.mipFilter = .nearest
material.metalness.magnificationFilter = .linear
material.metalness.minificationFilter = .linear
material.metalness.mappingChannel = 0
material.metalness.maxAnisotropy = 1.0
material.roughness.contents = UIImage(named: "scuffed_roughness.png")
material.roughness.wrapS = .repeat
material.roughness.wrapT = .repeat
material.roughness.mipFilter = .nearest
material.roughness.magnificationFilter = .linear
material.roughness.minificationFilter = .linear
material.roughness.mappingChannel = 0
material.roughness.maxAnisotropy = 1.0
material.normal.contents = UIImage(named: "scuffed_normal.png")
material.normal.wrapS = .repeat
material.normal.wrapT = .repeat
material.normal.mipFilter = .nearest
material.normal.magnificationFilter = .linear
material.normal.minificationFilter = .linear
material.normal.mappingChannel = 0
material.normal.maxAnisotropy = 1.0
material.metalness.intensity = 1.0
material.roughness.intensity = 1.0//0.0//0.3
material.normal.intensity = 1.0
material.diffuse.intensity = 1.0
material.multiply.contents = UIColor.white
material.multiply.intensity = 1.0
material.transparent.contents = UIColor.white
material.transparent.intensity = 1.0
material.clearCoatNormal.contents = UIColor.white
material.clearCoatNormal.intensity = 1.0
material.locksAmbientWithDiffuse = true
material.emission.contents = UIColor.black
material.emission.intensity = 1.0
material.selfIllumination.contents = UIColor.black
material.selfIllumination.intensity = 1.0
material.clearCoatRoughness.contents = UIColor.black
material.clearCoatRoughness.intensity = 1.0
material.displacement.contents = UIColor.black
material.displacement.intensity = 1.0
material.transparencyMode = .default
material.shininess = 1.0
material.fresnelExponent = 0.0
material.cullMode = .back
material.blendMode = .alpha
material.writesToDepthBuffer = true
material.readsFromDepthBuffer = true
material.locksAmbientWithDiffuse = true
material.isLitPerPixel = true

I’m new to trying to modify share records and not having any luck with it.
Somehow, I’ve made it such that every new coredata record I create is already listed as shared and accepted by another user (my other sandbox). This user never got a link nor has the record.
I’d like to correct that issue. But hacking away at it, I can’t find a solution or even know what caused this. I assume I need to modify the record of the privateCloudDatabase?

I've been doing this with a transformable type as NSObject. It's very straight forward there. But now I need to use NSSecureUnarchiveFromData. And I just can't find a combination it likes or I've over complicated something. I'm using a custom value transformer for a class that contains the array. I seem to be stuck in finding the right way to properly encode and decode it. Any help would be appreciated. My last attempt was to try to convert to an array of Data and back. But this didn't work either.
