I am working on a VPN app featuring Wireguard. The app was working fine. I planned to make a Framework for the Wireguard Target, Network Extension Target and the Code managing VPN, Now after removing all errors, resolving Bundle IDs and making all the targets compatible to iOS 16.0, I am getting this error in the Settings app as shown in the following
In short, same code is not working when moved into the framework.
I have read the similar thread talking about lowering the minimum deployments. All of my minimum deployments are set to iOS 16.0.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanking you in anticipation.
Ali.

I'm trying to submit an app that we have successfully tested in TestFlight.
After completing all the distribution steps and submitting for review, the review is failing with the response:
"Your app version was rejected and no other items submitted can be accepted or approved. You can make edits to your app version below."
I haven't received an details in app or via email to provide further information.
The version in TestFlight that I have uploaded is: v1.0.23(23).
When entering the distribution details, and from the rejection response., it looks like the version number I'm entering on the main distribution page is the issue - maybe? I have tried entering 1.0.23, 1.0.23(23), even just 1.0 - but it constantly keeps getting rejected.
Is it really the version no. that is wrong, or potentially something else? How can I get more information on why the submission was rejected?

I know that this has been posted many times, but I am facing an issue where I can't save a model instance. I know that this is due to enums from others trying to find solutions.
The error that shows:
CoreData: error: Row (pk = 2) for entity 'ResidentInfo' is missing mandatory text data for property 'name'
Solutions that I've tried:
removed all enums from their respective structs to being standalone.
making sure all enum calls use the full keyPath
removing CustomStringConvertible from all enums and moving them to rawValue strings
updating Xcode to 15.4b
probably other things I've forgotten at this point
File is too long to fit in post or comments (I'm sorry it's insanely long, it's a complex model), so I'll try to fit what I can where, are there anythings that stand out that may be an issue?

Hello,
I have been developing a Swift package and importing it into other projects. When I import the package into a project and check the execution times of some package functions, I notice slow execution times. However, if I add the source files of the package directly into the project and run the same test functions, then the whole module optimization achieves amazing run times, which are tens of times faster. The package heavily uses generics, and the project is a command line project.
I would like to ask if there is a proper way to edit project build settings and the package.swift so that the compiler performs cross-module optimization and achieves hopefully similar run times with the whole-module optimization case.
Some previous posts indicated the use of -cross-module-optimization and SWIFT_CROSS_MODULE_OPTIMIZATION, and I tried them in numerous places in the project target build settings with no success. I also added this Swift setting to the package.swift:
swiftSettings: [
.unsafeFlags(["-cross-module-optimization"],
.when(configuration: .release)) ]
but it didn't lead to faster run times. I appreciate any comments/help. Thanks.

Hi
I Download my app from test flight, when i click submit button to a backend call. App expects to get back with the response from the backend, to take to next pages.
But the app seems to be stuck waiting for the backend response. No error messages seen. i am sure the backend call is blocked from the test flight version. Same code works well from emulator and the physical device from local and from Google PlayStore. Only the test flight is the problem.
I am sure i messed up some settings , My Info.plist has as in below, can anyone please help.

It worked fine yesterday, now after upgrade of Xcode, app won't run. It doesn't matter if I try to run the app in a simulator or on a real iOS device, it does the same thing.
A window pops up with a title of "App installation failed: Unable to Install "app name"
Then down below there is a huge paragraph that starts with this:
Please try again later. Failed to load Info.plist from bundle at path /Users....
I have rebooted as well and also waited to make sure everything had time to load from the upgrade. I really have no clue how to resolve this issue.
Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me.
Thank you.

I know that most people on this forum will likely not be lawyers, but I am hoping someone with experience or insight can point me in the right direction.
I am trying to publish an application to the iOS app store and getting ready to publish, but I never addressed the part about export control documentation. I use some hardware components made in the UK, and the only cryptography I'm aware of using is HTTPS and AES-128 (LoRa security) in the hardware. My app will only be available in the U.S. I will not be exporting any data or hardware, and everything I am hosting my application on is in the U.S.
Does my application still fall under the EAR? Or is it something else I am supposed to be looking for? Someone I originally asked this about said that simply using imported hardware means it falls under the EAR, but that doesn't make sense to me.
I am new to all of this, so if anyone can at least point me in the direction to look or has experience, that would be greatly appreciated.

Hi!
I want to know if its safe to redirect user to device's settings by using App-Prefs: url scheme.
We need this only when users have no connectivity as a way to help them debug what is going on with their network. Our target users are not very proficient with technology, so that's why we want to help them as much as we can.
Thanks in advance for your help on this matter

We are developing a mobile app for our financial institution using React Native. As part of our fraud prevention measures, we need to determine the country a user is located in. However, we have noticed that the permission requests seem excessive for our requirements, especially since we only need this information if a user changes countries. Also, is there a way to only be notified when a user changes countries?
Our primary goal is to identify the user's country without requesting unnecessary permissions or compromising the user experience. We want to avoid requesting location permissions if possible, as it may raise concerns among our users.
What are the best practices and recommended approaches for financial institutions to determine a user's country in a React Native app, while minimizing the use of sensitive permissions? Are there any iOS-specific APIs, frameworks, or third-party libraries that can help us achieve this in a privacy-friendly manner?
We would greatly appreciate any guidance, insights, or examples from the developer community to help us strike the right balance between security and user privacy.
Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Hi,
Can a single domain serve a /.well-known/apple-app-site-association file for multiple apps from different developers?
We currently have our own domain, let's say example.com,
which serves https://example.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
which lists our app, let's say "ABCDEFG.com.example.AppA" for path "/app/a".
We're talking with another developer who has another app on the store.
Can we add their app, "MNOPQR.com.different.AppB" on our site, https://example.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association, add their app ID for path "/app/b",
ask them to add our example.com domain in their associated-domains entitlement,
and would it work?
I mean would https://example.com/app/a open our app "ABCDEFG.com.example.AppA" and https://example.com/app/b open their app "MNOPQR.com.different.AppB" ?
We want to open https://example.com/redirect/app redirect to either /app/a or /app/b depending on the query parameters and launch our or their app.
Thanks in advance!

I have a peculiar situation, where the first time I present a sheet from a Section that has the header: set, the sheet disappears by itself the first time it is presented.
@State private var show = false
// …
List {
Section {
Text("foo")
} header: {
Text("bar")
}
.sheet(isPresented: $show) {
Text("baz")
}
// just to enable
Button("toggle") {
show = true
}
}
In Xcode I get this warning when I present the sheet (taken from our live app):
Attempt to present <_TtGC7SwiftUI29PresentationHostingControllerVS_7AnyView_: 0x10a819e00> on <_TtGC7SwiftUI19UIHostingControllerGVS_15ModifiedContentVS_7AnyViewVS_12RootModifier__: 0x10a020600> (from <_TtGC7SwiftUI32NavigationStackHostingControllerVS_7AnyView_: 0x10a0cba00>) while a presentation is in progress.
Tested on iOS 17.4.1, iPadOS 17.4.0 (Simulator), Xcode 15.3 Previews.
Circumstances
The circumstances are as following: a Section has to be in a List, and have content:, and header: or footer: set to something, and have the .sheet(…) set on the section itself.
The problem does not occur with these sections:
Section {
Text("…")
}
Section {
} footer: {
Text("…")
}
Section {
Text("…")
} header: {
}
… but the following views have the sheet disappear the first time it is presented:
Section {
Text("…")
} header: {
Text("…")
}
Section {
Text("…")
} footer: {
Text("…")
}
Section {
Text("…")
} header: {
Text("…")
} footer: {
Text("…")
}
Is this a known issue, and are there any known workarounds to present from a Section?
My best guess is to move the .sheet(…) to the parent container, but I'll have to restructure part of my code quite a bit to do so 😕

My goal is to create Apples activity ring sparkle effect. So I found Paul Hudson's Vortex library. There is already a spark effect, but I don't know how to create a custom one that fits my needs. I'm still quite new to SwiftUI animations. Does someone have an idea how to do it?
VortexView(createSparkle()) {
Circle()
.fill(.white)
.frame(width: 16)
.tag("circle")
}
func createSparkle() -> VortexSystem {
let system = VortexSystem(tags: ["circle"])
system.birthRate = 150
system.emissionDuration = 0.2
system.idleDuration = 0.5
system.lifespan = 1.5

system.speedVariation = 0.2
system.angle = .degrees(330)
system.angleRange = .degrees(30)
system.acceleration = [0, 3]

Im building a small iphone app with StoreKit and currently testing it in testflight right on my mac, not on iphone. StoreKit part almost exactly copied from SKDemo from one of the Apple's WWDC. For some users and for myself Transaction.currentEntitlements always returns .unverified results. I double-checked Apple Connect settings, i checked my internet connection and everything is fine. Is there some pitfalls for testflight on mac? How can I find out what is causing this problem?

Hi all,
I work on a macOS app that's actually split into two apps: one primary app and one "helper" app that lives in the menubar and runs in the background when the primary app is quit. Recently, I've been integrating TipKit into these apps, and I'd like to have one unified TipKit database shared between them.
I set up TipKit in both apps' AppDelegate classes with the datastoreLocation set to the apps' shared Group Containers folder. I've verified with a SQLite DB viewer that both apps can store event donations and parameters as well as tip status in that shared database.
However, updates to the TipKit database are not being propagated between the two apps. For example, I have a TipKit event that only the "helper" app donates to, and I use that event for a TipKit rule in a Tip displayed in the primary app, but the tip only displays after I restart the primary app instead of immediately once the rule requirements are met (I've verified that the helper is properly making donations to that event).
Unfortunately, combining both apps into one app is out of the question (in the near term, anyways).
Is there anything I'm missing here to get cross-app TipKit communication to work?
Here's the relevant code (truncated and with variable and class names altered for IP reasons):
TipKitConstants.swift (accessible by both apps in a shared framework)
import TipKit
// MARK: - DataStore
@available(macOS 14.0, *)
extension Tips.ConfigurationOption.DatastoreLocation {
public static let sharedGroupContainer = Tips.ConfigurationOption.DatastoreLocation.url(NSURL.sharedGroupContainer()) // This NSURL extension points to a location in group containers that both apps can write to
}

extension PrimaryAppDelegate {
@objc func setupTips() {

.displayFrequency(.immediate),
.datastoreLocation(.sharedGroupContainer)

@objc func setupTips() {
if #available(macOS 14, *) {
try? Tips.configure([
.displayFrequency(.immediate),
.datastoreLocation(.sharedGroupContainer)
])
}
}
}
HelperClass+TipKit.swift (this is the class where the event donation happens)
import CommonFramework
extension HelperClass {
@objc func donateHelperEvent() {
if #available(macOS 14, *) {
Task(priority: .background) {
await TipKitEvents.helperEvent.donate()
}
}
}
...
}
ExampleTip.swift (exists in the primary app)
@available(macOS 14, *)

...
// All Tip protocol requirements are implemented above
var rules: [Rule] {
[#Rule(TipKitEvents.helperEvent) {
$0.donations.count >= 3
}]
}
...

I currently have an app listed in the App Store under my company's name. Recently, we restructured our company and adopted a new name that better reflects our product. My question is: Can I update our company name and DUN (Data Universal Numbering) number in the App Store, or do I need to create a new account for our restructured company? Alternatively, should I submit the updated version of the app under the original company name and DUN number?
