I submitted a new App yesterday and included a video preview file for several size devices (6.7, and a copy of 6.7 for 6.5, 5.5 and 12.9). The iPhone files each took 5-10 minutes of processing (where the file icon shows a cloud image) but each eventually worked.
The iPad file uploaded fine, but now 18 hours later is still showing a cloud icon. All these uploaded files are about the same size at about 40M.
The AppStore will not allow me to submit the App for review due to: Preview File Still Processing!
What is my recourse?

I have a 600 item Collection view for which I implemented a quick access section Index.
The implementation uses the usual:
indexTitles(for collectionView) and
CollectionView(indexPathForIndexTitle: title: at:)
All is well, except that the collection titles are in a foreign language (latinized Coptic) and 3 of the 25 title glyphs are not in the SystemFont, so the index is drawn with these titles as question marks in boxes. The problem glyphs are "Ꜣ"(unicode A722), ""(A7E3), and "Ꜥ"(A725)
I drilled down on the subviews of the CollectionView and found I could access the index using:
let subviews = myCollectionView.subviews
if let indexView = subviews.first(where: {String(describing: type(of: $0))=="UIIndexBarAccessoryView"}) {
print(indexView)
}
Examining the contents of this UIIndexBarAccessoryView (which seems to be Private), it contains a _visualStyle property object which holds a _font.
How can I "legally" change the font for the indexBarAccessory to one that has the required glyphs?
The rest of the App requires the local language to be English(US)

I have an app where I just created a new, working viewController in a separate project. I copy/pasted the code and xibs (several subviews) into the new project. All compiles fine.
Relevant code:
`let storyBoard : UIStoryboard = UIStoryboard(name: "Main", bundle:nil)
//let nextViewController = storyBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "NewManualGlyphVC") as! NewManualPickGlyphViewController //old Selector
let nextViewController = storyBoard.instantiateViewController(withIdentifier: "GlyphSelectVC") as! GlyphSelectViewController //new Selector
self.navigationController?.pushViewController(nextViewController, animated: true)
`
The commented out line was the vector to the old, working VC. The new code crashes inside the push. the new nextViewController is fine, the Xcode quick view shows the expected view, and the navController is also just fine. The reported error is:
`myApp[42661:963870] -[NSNull set]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7ff86599bc30
`
Environment is Xcode 14.3.1 compiled to ios13, target device iOS 16. Any thoughts? Thanks!!

I have an older App using SpriteKit and have updated to Xcode 14.3. Compilation and linking is ok.
App never gets to my code but crashes in AppDelegate with:
Metal API Validation Enabled
-[MTLDebugDevice newLibraryWithURL:error:]:2250: failed assertion `url must not be nil.'
I do not anywhere explicitly init() or call Metal. Using LLDB at the point of crash, I tried to peek into the App Bundle but
po Bundle.main.paths(forResourcesOfType: "URL", inDirectory: "nil")
0 elements
likewise:
po Bundle.main.paths(forResourcesOfType: "*", inDirectory: "nil")
0 elements
I suspect a build script or preformed bundle.main got screwed up, but I do not know how to investigate.
I should that this seems to be isolated to one MacBook Pro, compiles and runs fine on an iMac!
Any thoughts?

I am working on a simple SpriteKit App which has a sprite based game which I would like to superimpose on a complex UIImageView ( > 100 subviews) and which I will need to access during game play (ie change alpha of subviews and other animations)
I have tried to get this effect a number of ways but none work.
First I tried to make the background a Node filled with substrates, but the subsprites do not position correctly.
The most promising approach so far is to combine the views of the main ViewController and the Scene:
√ 1) Desired background UIImageView ("bg") is placed in view of main ViewController and draw into it
√ 2) Create a Protocol with delegate methods that can be called from the game's GameScene.swift
√ 3) Create Scene in main VC in the usual way. Set the scene background color to .Clear
√ 4) in GameScene.swift set up the reference to the protocol delegate
√ 5) prove I have access to the bg image from didMove(to view: SKView) by changing alpha or background color. Delegate access from didBegin(contact) also works
The problem is: that my bg imageView is drawn IN FRONT OF my game scene and I can not figure out how to change the draw order.
The game scene is not in the subviews array of the mainVC, and the bg image view is not in the subViews of the game scene view.
Without common references, I do not see how to modify the view hierarchy.
Does anyone have a way to draw the bg image behind the mostly transparent game scene?

I've built an iOS App which looks at statistical models of the rate of change of an App's Ratings and Review Counts activity. I use the standard query form of:
let prefix = "https://itunes.apple.com/\(countryCode!)/lookup?id=" let postfix = "&entity=software,iPadSoftware" let result = prefix + "\(devID)" + postfix // URL path
This query results in a JSON object list of all current Apps by the the developer (with ID = devID). The results have iOS, iPadOS, WatchOS, TVOS, and MacOS apps with all the expected data, except the review counts and ratings are always Zero for MacOS apps. I have tried playing with a dozen permutations of <macOS, Mac, MacSoftware, etc> as a query entity. All of those permutation yield zero results.
I know about using AppStoreConnect with Authorization tokens, but I prefer to use public domain data provided by Apple rather than the proprietary route.
Has anyone been successful in grabbing macOS App average ratings and counts? What is the secret sauce?

Trying to use the UI version of Create ML in a MacOS Playground.
Import always fails. It is no longer available? If it is available in the development system, why is it such a travail to use?

I am building a SpriteKit based Interface Controller for a Watch page. The page has just a SpriteKite Scene embedded with interface builder. The scene renders and animates just fine. The hierarchy is:
App access
An InterfaceController (One of many)
SpriteKit Scene
"brScene.sks" Graphic layout file
"brScene.swift" Swift code to support Scene
The problem is accessing the Crown rotation in the brScene.swift. I need the Crown data to control movement of a sprite. This is a problem that has historically been addressed a few times back in the 2015-2016 timeframe for WatchOS 2 and 3, but the earlier solutions appear to all be broken now.
Here is what I have tried:
import Foundation
import SpriteKit
import WatchKit
class brScene: SKScene, SKPhysicsContactDelegate, WKCrownDelegate {
class func newGameScene() -> brScene {
//Load brScene.sks as SKScene
guard let scene = SKScene(fileNamed: "brScene.sks") as? brScene else {
print("Scene Load Failed")
abort()
}
//fill window
scene.scaleMode = .aspectFill
let wkExtShared = WKExtension.shared()
let crownSequencer = WKExtension.shared().sharedInterfaceController!.crownSequencer
crownSequencer.delegate = self //** Can not assign or cast
crownSequencer.focus()
return scene
}
The value of "self" at the failed delegate assignment is "AppChallenge_WatchKit_Extension.brScene". It has no delegate compatibility. Of note, the protocol addition to the brScene Class of WKCrownDelegate is rendered in black by Xcode, not in green like SKPhysicsContactDelegate. I believe I could probably make the page's InterfaceController the delegate for the crown and then post notifications back to the brScene.swift to move the sprite, but that seems highly inelegant and inefficient!
What is going on? Any help would be appreciated!

I have a new "independent" watchOS 8 app that I wish to put in the App Store. I archive it and try to push the archive via Xcode Organizer/Distribute. It passes all the tests and uploads roughly the correct about of data (size of .ipa) to a blobstore.apple.com URL.
Then it just stops, for up to hours before I kill the process.
Is there a log file somewhere which monitors the app upload process so I can try to diagnose the issue? I ran through a number on logs in Console but did not see anything related. Any suggestions?

I am updating an existing watchOS App previously paired to an iOS App to a new Independent App. The app uses the CoreMotion framework, specifically CMAltimeter. In the old version of the app, the user had to authorize CM access in the paired iphone for both the phone and watch.I am trying to find a watchOS equivalent of requestAuthorizationWhenInUse, but I can not find it. I must assume that Privacy Authorization is still required. Apple has examples for the Health and Notifications frameworks, but rooting around I can not find a similar request method to generate a permission alert dialog from CoreMotion. Per the Apple Dox, CoreMotion only exposes AuthorizationStatus(). The watchkit extension pList does contain the appropriate privacy permission descriptions.Anyone successfully climb this hill?

I have a working Mac Catalyst app which opens several ViewControllers simultaneously, each in their own Scene. Once the scenes are opened and all foreground, I would like each ViewController to be notified when the user taps that window so its Scene becomes Active, i.e., topmost, first Responder and focus.
However, after the initial scene creation and activation, the Scene Delegate sceneDidBecomeActive method does not get triggered by any user interaction, despite the targeted window cycling between Active and Inactive.
Neither does UIKit post the "didBecomeActiveNotification" event.
Inside the ViewControllers, the "viewDidAppear" method does not get invoked either.
Is there a UISceneConfigurationOption required to handle an activate event?
How can I detect an Activate event on an existing scene/ViewController?

I have a UICollectionView of uniform square cells in default FlowLayout. In cellForItemAtIndexPath, if a cell has been selected a different custom view cell is dequeued. On selection of a cell, I reloadData. The different custom cell view is much larger, and has several additional UIControls within it.
This effect gives a detail view without pushing a new viewController and works great.
The only issue is that the transition between new layouts is instantaneous. Is there a way to animate the reflow. Note that I am not changing the layout, just the size of single cell and it would be more aesthetic to watch it grow or shrink and displace the adjacent cells.
I recently updated a stable app which has been in the Store for over a year and well over a thousand downloads. Last updated 6/19. All fine.This week I added a unique UserID to my Flurry start up in App Delegate and few extra flurry event calls in various view controllers to help track rare crashes (maybe 3 crashes reported in a year). App runs fine in Xcode Sim on a variety of devices, and in my real hardware both in debug and untethered. GIT compare confirms no other changes to codebase or XIBs, etc. Last compile for store on Xcode 10.x, now 11.1App Store review fails with crash on launch, they tried three times and sent crash logs. I removed some of the mods (but not yet the UserID in AppDelegate) and resubmitted: same result. First time I sent it in the crash report said they tested on a 3rd Gen iPad, so I asked them to try the second time on an iPhone, the next set of crash reports had the device code as ***! They ran 13.1.2, I tested on 13.1.3 and on 12.1.4 all OKHere's the problem(s)1) I dont see how to symbolicate the crash reports. To do so, Xcode requires the App's binary and dSYM (I have those), I dont have the Flurry dSYM, and OS Symbols for the hardware/OS where the test ran. I dont have a 3rd gen iPad (iPad11,3) to plug in and get the symbols for Xcode. Is there an alternative path in this circumstance.2) I'm not sure that the symbols would help here anyway since it looks like the crash is deep in iOS frameworks (maybe abi, see below) after being called from my Main. I know that these kinds of launch crashes frequently occur when storyboards have a defect, but I cant see one and the app runs fine locally on phones and old iPads. What would be my next steps when I can't replicate the crash (aside from removing the Flurry set UserID!)?{"app_name":"QueensDB","timestamp":"2019-10-30 15:28:10.12 -0700","app_version":"1.7","slice_uuid":"2133ecf9-943d-380e-9d2b-eb881e02a76f","adam_id":1369301260,"build_version":"2","bundleID":"com.Aviametrix.QueensEgypt","share_with_app_devs":true,"is_first_party":false,"bug_type":"109","os_version":"iPhone OS 13.1.2 (17A860)","incident_id":"BB1B0B65-66BF-40B7-9017-7F8B14B57F58","name":"QueensDB"}
