Hello, I’m reaching out to gather information regarding the upcoming changes to APNs certificates that are set to be implemented in the beta at the end of January 2025. Specifically, I would like to understand the following: What will be the practical impact of these changes on apes apis ? What actually needed to be done at trust store for this changes, and how will it affect our current setup? What steps do we need to take to update the certificates on our servers? it’s crucial for us to address these changes in advance and keep our customers informed. Thank you for your help!

Hi, I am trying to include an Image in the Apple News template which is clickable, meaning if a user clicks on that image it should be redirected to a different page. I am using action and openURL as below but it seems though the image is loading fine but its not doing anything when I click on the image. { "role": "container", "components": [ { "role": "container", "components": [ { "role": "image", "URL": "https://myImageURL.jpg", "action": { "type": "openURL", "URL": "https://URLToBeRedirected" } } ] } ] } I am using Newspreview to preview my article.json. Please let me know any resolution for this issue.

Looking for a spare phone anyone may have that they aren using that I can use with no strings attached. Thanks in advance for being a blessing f:)

Is there a way to give a default text color to tags in apple news format. I'm testing this in Apple News Preview currently, and I can't figure out what's wrong. According to the documentation, I should be able to style the tag using "default-tag-a" https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple_news/apple_news_format/components/using_html_with_apple_news_format#2992870 However, this doesn't appear to work. It works perfectly when I do paragraph tags like "default-tag-p" or span tags like "default-tag-span". Maybe, I'm missing something. Here is my code "textStyles": { "default-tag-a": { "textColor": "#1967d2" } } when I add a font like "textStyles": { "default-tag-a": { "fontName": "Georgia", "textColor": "#1967d2" } } This does change the font. So i'm wondering can I change the text color for links in apple news? and if so, how? Thanks for your assistance.

I am looking forward to develop an ecommerce IOS application. When I conducted my research for the same I found that offshore developers are offering solutions in quite less price compare to onshore developers. At the same time I also have some doubts over offshore development such as reliability, quality, collaboration and more.. Anyone can suggest me what would be the best in long term.

What should I do?

Please help me understand the phrasing from Apple's articles about this topic. Of course, I am referring to the SDKs from the official list, as only those are affected by the new regulations. 1, https://developer.apple.com/support/third-party-SDK-requirements/ Starting in spring 2024, you must include the privacy manifest for any SDK listed below when you submit new apps in App Store Connect that include those SDKs, or when you submit an app update that adds one of the listed SDKs as part of the update. That states 2 cases in which fresh SDK versions are needed, containing privacy information: If you submit a completely new app If your app update contains a framework which was not present in the previous version of the app So, according to my understanding, if I create an app update, which does not contain any new SDKs, only the ones that I have been using for a while now, I can keep using these older SKD versions. And it is not mandatory to update them to newer versions. Does Apple state anywhere that we have to update every SDK from the list this spring in every case? Because that would contradict what I quoted from the article. 2, https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=3d8a9yyh And if you add a new third-party SDK that’s on the list of commonly used third-party SDKs, these API, privacy manifest, and signature requirements will apply to that SDK. Again, this states that you have to use a fresh version of an SDK in case you add it newly to your app. This seems to reinforce my point that if a 3rd party SDK was already used in previous app versions, the new requirements do not apply to that SDK and I can keep using its older release which does not have its own privacy manifest file. My main concern here is that there are many 3rd party SDKs from the list that we already use in our projects, and it would be a huge effort if my team had to update all those SDKs in every project by May. But if I'm right, it is not mandatory for us. (Of course, it would be wise to update the SDKs every now and then, but that's not the point here.) Can anybody confirm whether my understanding is correct? Maybe link some proof if I'm not right? It would be nice to have a reply from someone working at Apple, to have a reliable answer.

I'm creating an SDK, the static library doesn't have a target membership check, how do I add it? I'm wondering what should I write in the associated static library(.a) if the user adds occupation privacyinfo. I can't find any examples, so if anyone has solved this, I'd appreciate an example :)

I can't figure it out. the "padding":10 either is ignored or the background extends to the left and right edge. See attached screenshot from the simulator. "role": "heading", "text": "News", "format": "markdown", "textStyle": { "textAlignment": "center", "backgroundColor": "#006FBA", "textColor": "#FFFFFF", "fontSize": 14, "lineHeight": 16, "fontWeight": "bold", "fontScaling": false }, "style": { "backgroundColor": "#006FBA" }, "layout": { "padding":5, "ignoreDocumentMargin": false, "margin": { "bottom": 15, "left":30, "right":30 } } }, { "role": "heading", "text": "News", "format": "markdown", "textStyle": { "textAlignment": "center", "backgroundColor": "#006FBA", "textColor": "#FFFFFF", "fontSize": 14, "lineHeight": 16, "fontWeight": "bold", "fontScaling": false }, "layout": { "padding":5, "ignoreDocumentMargin": false, "margin": { "bottom": 15, "left":30, "right":30 } } }, { "role": "container", "components": [ { "role": "heading", "text": "News", "textStyle": { "textAlignment": "center", "backgroundColor": "#006FBA", "textAbove": "1", "textColor": "#FFFFFF", "fontSize": 14, "lineHeight": 16, "fontWeight": "bold", "fontScaling": false }, "style": { "backgroundColor": "#006FBA" }, "layout": { "padding":5 } } ] },

I have a website that had been publishing to Apple News for a good while via RSS feed. At some point I implemented the Word Press plugin for publishing, created the PAPI file and that was working. I could login to Apple News Publisher and see my most recent articles. The RSS feed also still shows in the ANP dashboard. This appears to have stopped working in September as those are the most recent articles I can see in the Apple News Publisher dashboard. If I attempt to publish an article within the plugin it returns an error about "ONLY_PREVIEW_ALLOWED" So it appears my channel is back in a preview only mode. But nowhere in the News Publisher dashboard can I see anything to resubmit for approval. If I go to All Published Articles I can see where they stopped in September. If I go to Draft Articles and click "Preview these articles" I can see the channel in the Apple News app and it contains the most recent articles published. But back in the APN dashboard I don't have anything that allows me to submit to being published again. Any advice? Thanks!
