Aggregate Data from Web Sites
I've created a MacOS app in swift that aggregates data from publicly accessible web sites to display information like stock quotes. It uses calls like: XMLDocument(contentsOf: url, options: []) To get an XML representation of the data, then uses xpath to extract the elements I want. I'm considering submitting this app to the App Store for approval and listing. Is this kind of activity allowed, or would the application be rejected for any reason? I haven't done a deep dive into what the rules are with respect to what the do's and don'ts are for app approval. Any experience would be appreciated! thanks, Scott

Create Configuration Sheet for ScreenSaverView
I've been away from Xcode and MacOS development for some time now and wanted to return with a Screen Saver project. I've got my project working pretty well visually, but wanted to be able to set up some configuration items on the project. So I created a new xib file called ConfigurationSheet.xib, with an NSWindow but I'm not sure how to set this view as the configureSheet property on the ScreenSaverView base class. I feel like I need to create a Swift class for the view, but the examples I've seen all use UIKit and it seems like that's no longer available. Am I right about that? Should the view class be a SwiftUI view? And then that class gets set as the File Owner for the xib file? Then further, I think I'll need a controller for the ConfigurationSheet view. I apologize that I'm so out of step with modern Mac development, but a little current step-by-step here would be really helpful! thanks, scott
