Problem: While calling PHAsset.fetchAssets() and iterating over its results, if the Photos.app is simultaneously running an import operation (File | Import), the photolibraryd process crashes. I have already flagged this issue to Apple (FB13178379) but wanted to check if anyone else has encountered this behavior. Steps to Reproduce: Initiate an import in the Photos.app. Run the following code snippet in the Playground: import Photos PHPhotoLibrary.requestAuthorization(for: .readWrite) { authorizationStatus in guard authorizationStatus == .authorized else { return } let fetchResult = PHAsset.fetchAssets(with: nil) print(fetchResult) for i in 0..<fetchResult.count { print(fetchResult[i]) } } Upon doing this, I consistently receive the error: Connection to assetsd was interrupted - photolibraryd exited, died, or closed the photo library in the Console, causing my code to hang. Environment: macOS Version: 13.5.2 (22G91) Xcode Version: Version 14.3.1 (14E300c) Additional Info: After the crash, a report pops up in the Console, and typically, the Photos.app import operation freezes too. I've noticed that after terminating all processes and/or rebooting, the Photos.app displays "Restoring from iCloud…" and the recovery process lasts overnight. Seeking Suggestions: I'm exploring potential workarounds for this issue. I've attempted to use fetchLimit to obtain assets in batches, but the problem persists. Is there a method to detect that the Photos.app is executing an import, allowing my process to wait until completion? Alternatively, can I catch the photolibraryd crash and delay until it's restored? I'm operating in a batch processing mode for photos, so pausing and retrying later in the event of a Photos.app import isn't an issue. Any guidance or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated! Cheers and happy coding!

I am developing an iOS app that utilizes the timeInDaylight data from HealthKit. This feature is available starting from iOS 17.0+, but it can only be recorded using the Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) and Apple Watch Series 6 or later. How should I release this app given its dependency on timeInDaylight data? Without this data, the app is useless. I understand that the App Store does not allow setting specific health data requirements. I am also concerned that including a "device requirements" warning in the App Store description might not pass the review process. Could you provide any advice on how to approach this situation? Thank you.
