Dear Apple,I'm an iOS developer and provided feedback in the good old online bug tracker for many years.Decent conversations with Apple egnineers often resulted in bug fixes or updated documentation.The fact that my contributions helped to improve the products was rewarding.So I kept adding reports in the new Feedback Assistant app in macOS Catalina.But ever since (September 2019) I never ever got any response on any ticket.1 month ago I even added a report if Apple even read my reports. Again, no response ever since.So my question on this forum: Is Apple actually reading reports in the new Feedback Assistant?This can either be answered by Apple, or by other Developers that hopefully did response feedback from Apple. Or did not.Best regards,Martijn

While testing the implementation of this new check in our app, we discovered a bug:
Our App Store version is still compiled with Xcode 11.7
Install it from the App Store on an iPhone with iOS 14.0 final (18A373)
Launch the app. Whenever the first network action is started, the system popup is shown.
Allow permission
Check Settings -> Privacy -> Local Network -> App Name is present with the toggle enabled.
So far so good.
However, we wanted to see the system permission popup again:
Delete the app
Repeat steps 1 till 3 from above
No popup is shown but local network access is silently accepted.
Check Settings -> Privacy -> Local Network. The App Name is not present. So it's not possible anymore to disable local network access.
This seems a serious bug, where a reinstall compromises the Local network privacy.
And another bug for developers, as there seems no way to show the system popup a second time. For example to validate the localised version of NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription, which doesn't seem to work either: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/657856
