In Apple's Maps app, an annotation is made up of a circle shape or rounded rectangles with a glyph-image.
When selecting an annotation, the annotation animates into a balloon marker (see attached GIF).
How does Apple Maps solve this - from custom annotation to balloon marker with spring animation?
I switched my Maps implementation from SwiftUI to UIKit with a UIViewRepresentable to support annotation clustering - and it works beautifully.
But how to subclass an MKAnnotationView (or MKMarkerAnnotationView <- the balloon) to enable selection and animation as in Apple Maps?
MKMarkerAnnotationView only show balloon markers and I tried everything inside MKAnnotationView (CALayer, etc.)

Hello everyone. I'm building a simple Form in a Multiplatform App with SwiftUI. Originally I had something like this.
import SwiftUI
struct OnboardingForm: View {
@State var firstName: String = ""
@State var lastName: String = ""
@State var email: String = ""
@State var job: String = ""
@State var role: String = ""
var body: some View {
Form {
TextField("First Name", text: $firstName, prompt: Text("Required"))
TextField("Last Name", text: $lastName, prompt: Text("Required"))
TextField("Email", text: $email, prompt: Text("Required"))
TextField("Job", text: $job, prompt: Text("Required"))
TextField("Role", text: $role, prompt: Text("Required"))
}
}
}
#Preview {
OnboardingForm()
}
In macOS it looks ok but then in iOS it looks like this:
and it's impossible to know what each field is for if all the prompts are the same. I tried adding LabeledContent around each text field and that solves it for iOS but then on macOS it looks like this:
The labels are shown twice and the columns are out of alignment. I think I could get around it by doing something like this:
#if os(iOS)
LabeledContent {
TextField("First Name", text: $firstName, prompt: Text("Required"))
} label: {
Text("First Name")
}
#else
TextField("First Name", text: $firstName, prompt: Text("Required"))
#endif
but it seems to me like reinventing the wheel. Is there a "correct" way to declare TextFields with labels that works for both iOS and macOS?
I'm trying to use Image Events instead of Photoshop to manipulate a bunch of images.
I need to extend the canvas and have the padding be white. I've tried
pad theImage to dimensions {545, 545} with pad color {65535, 65535, 65535}
But that does nothing. If I remove the 'with pad colour...' part, it works but the pad defaults to black. I've looked everywhere, but there doesn't seem to be a solution.
Is there one?
Hello.
I've been struggling to get through the app review. It's been 3 months of constantly improving and adding new features to the app and getting rejected.
A week ago i got a call from apple review team, and they said that my app shares the similar binary with other apps. They don't tell the specififcs or details.
My app is a vpn app that is written by me in flutter. The only native code i have is a library that i use to work with vpn. I changed the entirity of the library, but still can't get pass. Although, the only think left is the xray-core (https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-core) framework that implemented as .xcframework to use vless protocol.
Does apple check .xcramework for similarity? i can't rewrite the framework, because it written in a go language.
My app, Plinco, was rejected under App Review Guideline 4.3 – Design Spam, stating that it shares similarities with other apps available on the App Store.
However, Plinco is a completely unique entertainment experience, designed with original assets, mechanics, and features. It allows users to customize various elements, including risk levels and configurations, ensuring a personalized and engaging experience. Special features like triple elements and the legendary golden mode introduce an extra layer of excitement and strategy. The app also offers high-quality visuals, immersive sound, and dynamic interactions, making each session feel fresh and unique.
I conducted extensive research on the App Store and found no similar apps in the Entertainment category that match Plinco's concept and functionality. My app is built from scratch, without using pre-existing templates or duplicated content.
Despite implementing multiple updates to address potential concerns, I have not received specific feedback clarifying the exact issue. I am fully committed to delivering a high-quality and original app and kindly request a more detailed explanation of the rejection, as well as a fair review of my submission.
I appreciate your time and consideration.
Hello,
My app was rejected because of App Review Guideline 4.3 – Design Spam. The response I received states:
“We noticed your app shares similar features, interface design, and functionality with other apps available on the App Store. Apps that duplicate content or functionality from other apps without adding significant value or unique user experiences are considered spam and will not be approved for distribution.”
I developed Plinking Platform Rise, a reaction and accuracy game where players control a platform to balance a ball while avoiding obstacles. The game becomes more challenging with each level, and a dark mode adds an exciting element by reducing visibility and requiring greater precision.
I’ve tried multiple times to understand the exact reasons for this rejection and made several updates to address potential issues, but all my efforts have been ignored by App Review. None of the changes I implemented led to a resolution.
This is the first app I’ve submitted to the App Store, and I developed it independently. I haven’t copied any design, functionality, or gameplay from existing apps. While my app uses Unity, which might result in some similarities, I’ve worked hard to create a unique experience with original gameplay, visuals, and mechanics.
I can’t identify any apps that closely resemble mine, but the rejection suggests otherwise. I would appreciate any advice on how to resolve this issue and demonstrate the originality of my app.
Kind regards, Ihor Koval
Hello,
My app was rejected because of App Review Guideline 4.3 – Design Spam.
I developed Dynasty of Sic Bo, an exciting game that combines elements of roulette and dice rolling. Players can bet on different dice combinations, testing their luck and strategy to win virtual riches. The game is designed to be simple and enjoyable for beginners while still engaging for experienced players.
I’ve tried multiple times to understand the exact reasons for this rejection, but all my efforts have been ignored by App Review. None of the changes I implemented resolved the issue, and I still don’t know what specifically needs to be addressed.
The app’s concept, gameplay, and design are entirely original, and I haven’t copied or reused content from other apps. While the game shares a general theme of dice-based gambling, I worked hard to create a unique experience with polished visuals, engaging mechanics, and a dynamic atmosphere.
I don’t understand how to proceed or demonstrate the originality of my app, as I can’t identify any apps that are identical to mine. I would really appreciate any advice or insights on how to resolve this issue.
Kind regards,
Nick

Hi community,
I have a question regarding MusicKit, is it necessary to follow a design guideline to integrate this framework into my App?
Also, when no music is reproducing in MusicKit which placeholder we should show, do you provide the resource? Or can we create our own placeholder?
Thanks for all,
David.
I'm receiving this error message from Apple saying that my app is crashing when they test, but I've already done the tests on the iPad version they recommended and it worked normally.

Hi everyone, I'm currently working on my own Apple TV app. So far, things are going pretty well, but right now, I'm stuck on the design of the categories or selection menus.
Here's a screenshot of how it looks right now:
The green color and the border are intentionally added for now so I can see what is where. My actual goal is to remove the gray bar (or is this the "main bar"?). The pink bar and its border are just design elements that can be removed if needed. I want it to look more "original," like this:
Here is the code:
let title: String
let isSelected: Bool
var body: some View {
HStack {
Text(title)
.foregroundColor(isSelected ? .black : .white)
.font(.system(size: 22, weight: .regular))
.padding(.leading, 20)
Spacer()
Image(systemName: "chevron.right")
.foregroundColor(isSelected ? .black : .gray)
.padding(.trailing, 20)
}
.frame(height: 50) // Einheitliche Höhe für die Kategorien
.background(Color.pink) // Innerer Hintergrund auf pink gesetzt
.cornerRadius(10) // Abrundung direkt auf den Hintergrund anwenden
.overlay(
RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10)
.stroke(Color.green, lineWidth: 3) // Äußerer Rahmen auf grün gesetzt
)
.padding(.horizontal, 0) // Entferne äußere Ränder
.background(Color.clear) // Entferne alle anderen Hintergründe
}
}
struct SettingsView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
SettingsView()
}
}
I’ve adjusted the code, but it’s still not quite right. When a category is not selected, it appears black instead of gray, like in the original design
Here is the code:
struct SettingsView: View {
@State private var selectedCategory: String?
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
ZStack {
Color.black
.edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
VStack(spacing: 0) {
// Überschrift oben in der Mitte
Text("Einstellungen")
.font(.system(size: 40, weight: .semibold))
.foregroundColor(.white)
.padding(.top, 30)
HStack {
// Linke Seite mit Logo
VStack {
Spacer()
Image(systemName: "applelogo")
.resizable()
.scaledToFit()
.frame(width: 120, height: 120)
.foregroundColor(.white)
Spacer()
}
.frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width * 0.4)
// Rechte Seite mit Kategorien
VStack(spacing: 15) {
ForEach(categories, id: \.self) { category in
NavigationLink(
value: category,
label: {
SettingsCategoryView(
title: category,
isSelected: selectedCategory == category
)
}
)
.buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle())
}
}
.frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width * 0.5)
}
}
}
.navigationDestination(for: String.self) { value in
Text("\(value)-Ansicht")
.font(.title)
.foregroundColor(.white)
.navigationTitle(value)
}
}
}
private var categories: [String] {
["Allgemein", "Benutzer:innen und Accounts", "Video und Audio", "Bildschirmschoner", "AirPlay und HomeKit", "Fernbedienungen und Geräte", "Apps", "Netzwerk", "System", "Entwickler"]
}
}
struct SettingsCategoryView: View {
let title: String
let isSelected: Bool
var body: some View {
HStack {
Text(title)
.foregroundColor(.white)
.font(.system(size: 22, weight: .medium))
.padding(.leading, 20)
Spacer()
Image(systemName: "chevron.right")
.foregroundColor(.gray)
.padding(.trailing, 20)
}
.frame(height: 50) // Einheitliche Höhe für die Kategorien
.background(isSelected ? Color.gray.opacity(0.3) : Color.clear) // Hervorhebung des ausgewählten Elements
.cornerRadius(8) // Abgerundete Ecken
.scaleEffect(isSelected ? 1.05 : 1.0) // Fokus-Animation
.animation(.easeInOut, value: isSelected)
}
}
struct SettingsView_Previews: PreviewProvider {
static var previews: some View {
SettingsView()
}

Hi,
I'm working with a very simple app that tries to read a coordinates card and past the data into diferent fields. The card's layout is COLUMNS from 1-10, ROWs from A-J and a two digit number for each cell. In my app, I have field for each of those cells (A1, A2...). I want that OCR to read that card and paste the info but I just cant. I have two problems. The camera won't close. It remains open until I press the button SAVE (this is not good because a user could take 3, 4, 5... pictures of the same card with, maybe, different results, and then? Which is the good one?). Then, after I press save, I can see the OCR kinda works ( the console prints all the date read) but the info is not pasted at all.
Any idea? I know is hard to know what's wrong but I've tried chatgpt and all it does... just doesn't work
This is the code from the scanview

I recently submitted a new app for review, but it has been rejected multiple times for vague reasons. The most recent rejection reason I received was unclear, leaving me unsure of what improvements are needed to get the app approved for the App Store.
Does anyone have any advice on how to address this?
Additionally, to Apple reviewers: Could you please provide more detailed feedback to help developers improve their apps? The repeated review process takes a significant amount of time, and guessing what needs to be fixed without clear guidance makes it even more challenging.
#################################
The latest rejection reason I got is:
Guideline 4.0 - Design

Hi everyone, im in the process of delving more into coregraphics with swiftui, but I am at a roadblock.
First I would like to ask, what are some good resources to learn coregraphics?
Secondly:
I currently have a circle view made and what I want to do is to make my circle view modular so that it can be directly connected to another given circle by a line. How can I do this?
For example, I want my circles to represent nodes and be able to connect by lines to other nodes that are related.
Thanks in advanced.
Here is my code for the circle view:
@State private var circleProgress: CGFloat = 0
let timer = Timer.publish(every: 0.016, on: .main, in: .common).autoconnect()
private let animationDuration: TimeInterval = 1.5
@Binding var startPoint: CGPoint
@Binding var endPoint: CGPoint
var body: some View {
GeometryReader { geometry in
Canvas { context, size in
// Circle parameters
let circleSize: CGFloat = 50
let circleOrigin = CGPoint(
x: size.width / 4,
y: size.height / 2 - circleSize / 2
)
let circleRect = CGRect(
origin: circleOrigin,
size: CGSize(width: circleSize, height: circleSize)
)
let circleCenter = CGPoint(
x: circleOrigin.x + circleSize / 2,
y: circleOrigin.y + circleSize / 2
)
// Animate circle creation
var circlePath = Path()
circlePath.addArc(
center: circleCenter,
radius: circleSize / 2,
startAngle: .degrees(0),
endAngle: .degrees(360 * circleProgress),
clockwise: false
)
context.addFilter(.shadow(color: .white.opacity(0.6), radius: 5, x: 1, y: 1)) // Add white shadow
context.stroke(
circlePath,
with: .linearGradient(
Gradient(colors: [.purple, .white]),
startPoint: circleRect.origin,
endPoint: CGPoint(x: circleRect.maxX, y: circleRect.maxY)
),
lineWidth: 5
)
}
.frame(width: 300, height: 150)
.onReceive(timer) { _ in
// Update circle progress
let progressChange = 0.02 / animationDuration
if circleProgress < 1.0 {
circleProgress = min(circleProgress + progressChange, 1.0)
} else {
circleProgress = 0.0 // Reset the circle to repeat the animation
}
// Get the starting and ending points of the Canvas view
startPoint = CGPoint(x: geometry.frame(in: .global).minX, y: geometry.frame(in: .global).minY)
endPoint = CGPoint(x: geometry.frame(in: .global).maxX, y: geometry.frame(in: .global).maxY)
// Print the points for debugging
print("Start Point: \(startPoint.x), \(startPoint.y)")
print("End Point: \(endPoint.x), \(endPoint.y)")
}
}
.frame(width: 300, height: 150)
}
}
how to save the state of my APP when I open another APP so that It can restore when I re-open it?
my app will use over 10mb memory so if I open another APP(my app will go background) it will closed at all.
when I re-open it it will restart.
but I do not want it I want if I open Page A and then it go background and when I re-open it it still is Page A and do not restart.
It has been over a month since we first attempted to update our app. The issue we wanted to resolve is a bug that prevents in-app purchases from functioning properly. Fixing this bug was crucial—not only for our users but also for us as a company.
However, what seemed like a simple fix has turned into an absolute nightmare. Despite our app successfully undergoing 20+ updates in the past, we now face a consistent rejection under guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam. Every single submission has been met with the same response.
We’ve made significant changes to the app, introduced numerous features, and thoroughly reviewed every aspect, yet the rejections persist. Desperate for clarity, we scheduled a call with an Apple representative. During the call, we were told that the issue was related to our app’s screenshots. We accepted their feedback, updated the screenshots, and resubmitted the app—only to be rejected again.
Since then, we’ve submitted the app three additional times, each with new sets of screenshots. Yet, the outcome has remained unchanged. Every review has been completed within about 20 minutes, with the same generic response:
"Hello,
The issues we previously identified still need your attention.
If you have any questions, we are here to help. Reply to this message in App Store Connect and let us know."
We’ve now updated the screenshots three times, but nothing has changed. Is the issue truly related to the screenshots? Or is there something else at play? We’ve already spent over 30 days trying to resolve this. Should we continue uploading a 4th, 5th, or even 6th set of screenshots, only to receive the same rejection?
The lack of clarity is incredibly disheartening. I’ve pleaded with Apple to provide specific, actionable feedback so we can address the problem effectively, but the responses are always the same—copy-pasted and vague.
I’m feeling completely devastated and frustrated. At this point, I’m even considering giving up on my job entirely.
If anyone has advice or insights, please help. I don’t know what to do anymore.
I'm running into a problem with the focus order in my UICollectionView in my tvOS app. The layout of my app is outlined in the following diagram
On the uppermost layer I have a UITableView, each cell containing a single UICollectionView that can contain a variable number of UICollectionViewCells.
When the user swipes down, I want the left-most item in the next row down to be selected, as follows:
I've been able to get this to work for the majority of cases. The exception is when the previously focused item extends to the length of the screen - in this case the next focused item isn't the leftmost item, but rather the center item, as follows.
Using focus guides won't really fit the use case here since collection views are dynamically generated.
I've found that there is a function in UICollectionViewDelegate, indexPathForPreferredFocusedView that should help here but it only seems to be called intermittedly, even though I have set remembersLastFocusedIndexPath on the collectionview to true. I can force it to be called by calling setNeedsFocusUpdate() but I can't figure out a good place to call it - shouldUpdateFocus is too early and didUpdateFocus is too late.
Is there some way to constrain the focus area of a view to a certain subset of it's frame - for example, the left-most quarter of its width?
Or does anyone know of some other solution to this problem?
Hi All,
I am a student in university trying to upload an app that predicts wait times at bars and restaurants. For months I have been getting rejected because of design minimum functionality. please if anyone could give me any feedback I would greatly appreciate it
I want to make my buttons inline with each other, but spaced apart, a bit like the apple topbar BUT in swift.
My code:
struct NormalPageView: View {
var body: some View {
VStack {
NavigationView {
Form {
Section {
Image(systemName: "house.fill")
Spacer()
Image(systemName: "plus")
Spacer()
Image(systemName: "gearshape.fill")
}
}
}
