I am in the process of building my first Watch app as an extension of my iPhone App. I am having problems with the Watch app, but would like to submit the updates I have made for my iOS app. Is there a best practice or guide to help me submit my iPhone app, without the embedded watch components. Right now, iTunes Connect keeps including my watch App, which is not ready, and therefore won't let me submit my app for review.Thanks

I've created a Catalyst app that runs on WatchOS, iOS, iPadOS and MacOS. It stores some basic data in UserDefaults using Combine. The latest builds are starting to get the following error.2020-05-25 12:10:30.535305-0400 Wasted Time[82077:918516] [User Defaults] Couldn't write values for keys (

I am getting the following error when I try launching my iPhone app in the simulator. I had just finished a SiriKit Lab session and the last thing that was done was helping me "attach" the extension I was creating. I have since rebooted, etc. but it is happening every time. Any ideas how to remove the attached session, or is this something else?

I noticed that the downloaded code had intents setup, so changed the code to be StaticConfiguration. everything worked the correctly, however when I tried to add in the .isPlaceHolder(true) I get the message that it is not valid, Here's the code: import WidgetKit
import SwiftUI
import Intents
struct Provider: TimelineProvider {
public func snapshot(with context: Context, completion: @escaping (SimpleEntry) -> ()) {
let entry = SimpleEntry(date: Date(), character: .panda)
completion(entry)
}
public func timeline(with context: Context, completion: @escaping (Timeline<Entry>) -> ()) {
let entries: [SimpleEntry] = [SimpleEntry(date: Date(), character: .panda)]
let timeline = Timeline(entries: entries, policy: .atEnd)
completion(timeline)
}
}
struct SimpleEntry: TimelineEntry {

let character: CharacterDetail
}

I've been working on adding shortcuts to my app. The Intent handler extension causes my app to crash when it is embedded in the app. I am looking for any guidance on how to debug this, as I went to the Shortcuts Lab and the code was deemed correct.
// IntentHandler.swift
// SiriExtension
import Intents
class IntentHandler: INExtension, INSendMessageIntentHandling, INSearchForMessagesIntentHandling {
override func handler(for intent: INIntent) -> Any {
// This is the default implementation. If you want different objects to handle different intents,
// you can override this and return the handler you want for that particular intent.
switch intent {
case is AddAttendeeIntent:
return AddAttendeeIntentHandler()
case is RemoveAttendeeIntent:
return RemoveAttendeeIntentHandler()
case is StartMeetingIntent:
return StartMeetingIntentHandler()
case is EndMeetingIntent:
return EndMeetingIntent()
case is ResetMeetingIntent:
return ResetMeetingIntent()
case is QuorumReachedIntent:
return QuorumReachedIntent()
default:
fatalError("No handler for this intent")
}
}
func resolveRecipients(for intent: INSendMessageIntent, with completion: @escaping ([INSendMessageRecipientResolutionResult]) -> Void) {
if let recipients = intent.recipients {
// If no recipients were provided we'll need to prompt for a value.
if recipients.count == 0 {
completion([INSendMessageRecipientResolutionResult.needsValue()])
return
}
var resolutionResults = [INSendMessageRecipientResolutionResult]()
for recipient in recipients {
let matchingContacts = [recipient] // Implement your contact matching logic here to create an array of matching contacts
switch matchingContacts.count {
case 2 ... Int.max:
// We need Siri's help to ask user to pick one from the matches.
resolutionResults += [INSendMessageRecipientResolutionResult.disambiguation(with: matchingContacts)]
case 1:
// We have exactly one matching contact
resolutionResults += [INSendMessageRecipientResolutionResult.success(with: recipient)]
case 0:
// We have no contacts matching the description provided
resolutionResults += [INSendMessageRecipientResolutionResult.unsupported()]
default:
break
}
}
completion(resolutionResults)
}
}
func resolveContent(for intent: INSendMessageIntent, with completion: @escaping (INStringResolutionResult) -> Void) {
if let text = intent.content, !text.isEmpty {
completion(INStringResolutionResult.success(with: text))
} else {
completion(INStringResolutionResult.needsValue())
}
}
// Once resolution is completed, perform validation on the intent and provide confirmation (optional).
func confirm(intent: INSendMessageIntent, completion: @escaping (INSendMessageIntentResponse) -> Void) {
// Verify user is authenticated and your app is ready to send a message.
let userActivity = NSUserActivity(activityType: NSStringFromClass(INSendMessageIntent.self))
let response = INSendMessageIntentResponse(code: .ready, userActivity: userActivity)
completion(response)
}
// Handle the completed intent (required).
func handle(intent: INSendMessageIntent, completion: @escaping (INSendMessageIntentResponse) -> Void) {
// Implement your application logic to send a message here.
let userActivity = NSUserActivity(activityType: NSStringFromClass(INSendMessageIntent.self))
let response = INSendMessageIntentResponse(code: .success, userActivity: userActivity)
completion(response)
}
// MARK: - INSearchForMessagesIntentHandling
func handle(intent: INSearchForMessagesIntent, completion: @escaping (INSearchForMessagesIntentResponse) -> Void) {
// Return success to launch your Watch application with userActivity containing information for the message search on the interaction.
let userActivity = NSUserActivity(activityType: NSStringFromClass(INSearchForMessagesIntent.self))
let response = INSearchForMessagesIntentResponse(code: .success, userActivity: userActivity)
completion(response)
}
}
I have an Intent handler that is used on iOS in shortcuts for my app. The app is also a Catalyst app, but when I try to build it with the Extension I get the following message.
error: Embedded binary's bundle identifier is not prefixed with the parent app's bundle identifier.
I am assuming that I cannot include the extension in Catalyst, is that true in iOS14?
I have taken a simple view in my app and made a widget from it; however, the background gradient color I use does not fill the entire widget, it leaves a white band at the top and bottom.
var entry: Provider.Entry
var body: some View {
HStack {
VStack {
Text("Wasted Time")
.fontWeight(.bold)
LifetimeTotalsView()
}
}
.foregroundColor(.black)
.background(LinearGradient(gradient: Gradient(colors: [ .red,.orange,.yellow,.green, .blue, .purple]), startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom))
}
}
I assume these bands relate to the safe area for the widget. How can I expand to fill the entire widget? Thanks
I've been trying to use the console to debug a problem with my SiriKit Intent which I added to launch my app from short cuts. The Log messages are as follows:

My App has an intent handler that calls that intent as follows:
override func handler(for intent: INIntent) -> Any {
logger.log("\(intent)")
switch intent {
case is StartMeetingIntent:
return StartMeetingIntentHandler()
default:
fatalError("No handler for this intent")
}
}
And my Intent is defined as follows:
import Intents
import SwiftUI
import os
class StartMeetingIntentHandler: NSObject, StartMeetingIntentHandling {
let logger=Logger(subsystem: "com.theapapp.wastedtime", category: "Start Meeting Intent")
var people: [INObject]?
func handle(intent: StartMeetingIntent, completion: @escaping (StartMeetingIntentResponse) -> Void) {
if let attendees = intent.people {
completion(StartMeetingIntentResponse.success(result: attendees))
} else {
logger.log("failure")
}
}
func resolvePeople(for intent: StartMeetingIntent, with completion: @escaping (StartMeetingPeopleResolutionResult) -> Void) {
let people = Int(truncating: intent.people ?? 0)
if people < 0 {
completion(StartMeetingPeopleResolutionResult.unsupported(forReason: StartMeetingPeopleUnsupportedReason.negativeNumbersNotSupported))
} else if people > 1000 {
completion(StartMeetingPeopleResolutionResult.unsupported(forReason: StartMeetingPeopleUnsupportedReason.greaterThanMaximumValue))
} else {
completion(StartMeetingPeopleResolutionResult.success(with: people))
}
}
}
In the Build for the extension the Intent is listed under Supported Intents. (as StartMeetingIntent).
And the Extension is embedded in my application.
I am stumped.. so any pointers on what I should look at next would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I am wondering what the best resource is to get up to speed about adding Xcode based testing to my app. I have always done my testing by hand, and think it's about time to think about automating some of my tests.
I am working on a setup screen with a dollar value and a picker. I have the dollar value setup with a currencyFormatter, and a .keyboardType(.decimalPad), if the user touches outside of the field, the .resignFirstResponder doesn't happen, so I added it to my Picker. However, If the user touches the picker, the .currencyFormatter is not applied.
private var currencyFormatter: NumberFormatter = {
let formatter = NumberFormatter()
formatter.isLenient = true
formatter.numberStyle = .currency
return formatter
}()
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { geometry in
VStack{
VStack{
HStack{
Text("Burden Rate: ")
.padding(.trailing)
Spacer()
TextField("Enter Burden Rate",
value: $meetingSetup.saveRateValue,
formatter: currencyFormatter,
onEditingChanged: {_ in
logger.log("editing changed")
},
onCommit: {
logger.log("updated")
}
)
.textFieldStyle(RoundedBorderTextFieldStyle())
.multilineTextAlignment(.trailing)
.padding(.leading)
.keyboardType(.decimalPad)
}
HStack{
Text("Select One: ")
Spacer()
Picker("Calculation", selection: $selectedRateCalc) {
ForEach( 0 ..< rateCalc.count) {
Text(self.rateCalc[$0]).tag($0)
}
}
.pickerStyle(SegmentedPickerStyle())
.onChange(of: selectedRateCalc, perform: { value in
switch selectedRateCalc {
case 0:
meetingSetup.hourlyEnabled = false
meetingSetup.salaryEnabled = true
print("Salary Selected")
case 1:
meetingSetup.hourlyEnabled = true
meetingSetup.salaryEnabled = false
print("Hourly Selected")
default:
print("ERROR")
}
self.hideKeyboard()
})
}
}
}
Spacer()
}
}
}
#if canImport(UIKit)
extension View {
func hideKeyboard() { UIApplication.shared.sendAction(#selector(UIResponder.resignFirstResponder), to: nil, from: nil, for: nil)
}
}
#endif
I've reduced some of the other screen to make this cleaner for review. How can I correctly clear the keyboard AND have it format the currency correctly.
Thanks!
I have tried to connect my Apple TV 4K to Xcode, via wireless. I get to the point where I enter the six digit code displayed on the Apple TV, and then Xcode just redisplays the messages to Pair the TV. Any suggestions?

What I am doing wrong?
I know with macOS 11 and iOS 14, iOS apps will run on Apple Silicon. I have a Catalyst version of my app, that I would like to add to the same AppStore Connect entry. I know I have to remove my Mac App Store entry, but I can't figure out how to change the App bundle name in the App Store Connect for the the Catalyst app.
Do I have to build a native Mac Version with the same bundle ID as the iOS version to have it on the same App Connect entry?
My app is free and I want people who have it on iOS to have access on macOS.
