I updated the primary email address of my Apple Account, now all emails send to my new address except emails about App Store Connect (e.g. App Review status update). How to make App Store Connect send emails to my new address?

After communicating with App Review for a week, I found I have to submit an appeal to App Review Board. Now I have some questions about it. Time for Response How long does it usually take to get a response from App Review Board? I've waited for a week and there's no any response from them. Expedited Review My app will be removed from sale if the new version does't get approved before October 22nd. Can expedited review be applied for App Review Board? Reply to App Review Board If App Review Board still rejects my app, can I reply to them in App Store Connect to provide more infomation? If so, will it take another week or it will be faster? — WindowsMEMZ @ Darock Studio

I want to download some large files on watchOS and I found Apple Music app is able to download songs in background and pause downloading depending on battery life. Does there any way to do the same thing in my own app? After users choose to download, keep the downloading task in background and pause/resume on demand.

I'm trying to download M3U8 media on watchOS by this code: let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.background(withIdentifier: "com.id") let session = AVAssetDownloadURLSession( configuration: configuration, assetDownloadDelegate: M3U8DownloadDelegate.shared, delegateQueue: .main ) let asset = AVURLAsset(url: URL(string: mediaLink)!) let downloadTask = session.makeAssetDownloadTask(downloadConfiguration: .init(asset: asset, title: "")) downloadTask.resume() m3u8DownloadObservation = downloadTask.progress.observe(\.fractionCompleted) { progress, _ in print(progress) } But downloadTask.progress is always zero, and the observation is never called. How to get the progress correctly?

Starting from Xcode 16 Beta 2, NSValue.CGSizeValue is no longer available on watchOS, whereas this method was supported in previous versions of Xcode. The Xcode header files mark this method as unavailable on watchOS, but after manually modifying the Xcode files to remove the unavailable macro, the code compiles and runs normally. Is there a change in this API that makes it unsupported on watchOS, or is this an error? Previously, I submitted feedback FB14072192, and the status of this feedback was updated to "Unable to diagnose with current information" without any further response. If this is indeed an issue, I hope it can be fixed.

I am developing a watchOS-only app, and whenever I attempt to make a network request, it always fails and throws the following error: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1009 "The Internet connection appears to be offline." I noticed that when I turn off Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in the settings of the iPhone paired with the Apple Watch (thus disconnecting the Apple Watch from the iPhone), my app can successfully connect to the network. Additionally, when the app contains both an iOS app and a watchOS app, after granting network permissions on the iOS app, the watchOS app can access the network normally when connected to the iPhone. When opening some system apps on the Apple Watch (such as the "Workout" app), the app will display a network permission request similar to that on iOS, but this request does not automatically pop up when my watchOS app attempts to access the network. Is there a way to request network permissions in a watchOS-only app so that it can access the network while connected to the iPhone?

My app isn’t a game app, but iOS 18 always enable Game Mode for my app automatically. I didn’t find a switch to disable it in Xcode.
