As of now, there are some emulators available for the Apple Silicon Mac, such as Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion. These emulators support virtualization on Apple Silicon and offer some support for ARM architecture. However, not all mobile applications or games have been adapted for Apple Silicon yet, so are there any emulators designed for moblie games fully adapted to Apple Silicon?

I'm using the Apple Unity Plugins to use Game Center to authenticate Playfab accounts for my game and when I test this on testflight, everything works fine for me and the people I've tested with, however, when I send the build to review, they are getting GameKitException 37 which states "This game is not listed in a marketplace that supports Game Center" and upon further research I found this page https://developer.apple.com/documentation/gamekit/gkerror/code/appunlisted which I'm assuming is the same thing. This seems to suggest that I need my app to be listed on the App Store which is strange because this has created a what comes first, the chicken or the egg problem. I need to pass review to get the game listed in the App Store and they can't test the game because accounts cannot be authenticated with Game Center which apparently needs to be listed on the App Store. So far, I can't find the reason why this doesn't happen on testflight and only happens when I send it to review. I opened a ticket to Apple Developer Support and haven't recieved a response. I asked app review about it and they replied "Hello, Thank you for your response. Since all apps must pass App Review before they can be approved, it should not be necessary to have a "store page". We look forward to reviewing your app once all issues have been addressed and the new build has been received and queued for review. Best regards, App Review" Which doesn't really help me. I am quite pressed for time and I really need assistance in resolving this issue which I cannot replicate. Has anyone encountered this issue or know how to solve it?

截至目前，有一些为苹果芯片的 Mac 设计的模拟器，比如 Parallels Desktop 和 VMware Fusion。这些模拟器支持在苹果芯片上的虚拟化，并提供了对 ARM 架构的一些支持。然而，并非所有移动应用程序或游戏都已经适配到苹果芯片上，因此是否有针对移动游戏完全适配到苹果芯片的模拟器？

Hey, i have created a game in unity with the apple core and apple gamekit plugins present. I setup 5 leaderboards on the app store connect. I made a unity build and did the whole testflight build loop to test everything. When i open my gamecenter panel via the button i see my leaderboards but they show as MISSING TITLE which is weird because i have for sure set them up correctly they have a leaderboard reference name and leaderboard id as well. When debugging i can see that when i call my submit score function it gets submitted with no error but then i also dont see the score appear anywhere . Keep in mind the leaderboards are not live and are being tested on testflight first

I am having problems building an Unreal project in Xcode. The problem starts when the compiler starts to build a custom made plugin, that works perfectly fine on windows. When looking at the log, it seems that I will have to rebuild the plugin for macOS-arm64, does anyone have some ideas how I should approach?

Does GPTK2 support all AVX instructions like F16C, or only AVX2?

Hello, I'm trying to attach one entity to another entity via the new PhysicsFixedJoint. I have a usdz that contains a skeletal pose which expose the joints as pins as desired. However the when I access the pin, it is returning a GeometricPin, instead of an EntityGeometricPin as you would expect. I can't use the returned GeometricPin to create the joint. Am I missing something? Shouldn't access the Entity's pins object return EntityGeometricPins instead of GeometricPin? Here is the code sample: var body: some View { RealityView { content in if let scene = try? await Entity(named: "Scene", in: untitledBundle) { content.add(scene) let attack = try! Entity.load(named: "Attack01_SingleSword") let anchor = scene.findEntity(named: "Root") anchor?.addChild(attack) let sword = try! Entity.load(named: "OHS08_Sword") anchor?.addChild(sword) if let swordEntity = findModelComponentEntity(entity: sword) { let swordPin = swordEntity.pins.set( named: "test", position: SIMD3<Float>.zero ) if let attackEntity = findModelComponentEntity(entity: attack) { let attackPin = attackEntity.pins["root/pelvis/spine_01/spine_02/spine_03/clavicle_r/upperarm_r/lowerarm_r/hand_r/weapon_r"]! // This is returning GeomtricPin instead of the EntityGeometricPin that the "pins" object contains let joint = PhysicsFixedJoint( pin0: swordPin, pin1: attackPin // This is a compile error since it is not an EntityGeometricPin type ) try! joint.addToSimulation() } } } } }

Can a TabletopKit game with a variable number of players also have a variable number of AI, each playing a specific position? For example, a game that can handle 3-7 players, being set up for a specific game where 4 of the players are real, and an AI plays 2 other locations? The Kit appears to be setup to only be able to handle real (human) players. Thank you!

I want to do an app transfer, but TeamPlayerID is inconsistent and I'm screwed. What can I do? There are 170,000 accounts. help me.

Hey everyone, My game got rejected due to Guideline 4.3. Here's the gameplay video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vb6uBUsOSDg Does anyone have experience dealing with Guideline 4.3 and can share some insights? I already appealed, explaining that my game has online multiplayer battles, but no response yet. Feeling frustrated after spending six months on this game. Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I am developing Cordova apps/games with in-app purchase products as well as an initial product as non-paid (Free) tier: New users will be able to play freely for a set of games as default at the beginning. Then, if they would like to have more games with different set of attributes or themes, they can add more games with in-app purchases. It is similar to a game called Subway Surfers in App Store I would play in the past. A new player initiates games as Free Tier. After, let us say 3 games, the user is asked if he/she would like to have more games to play with different scenes/themes in different Tiers, in addition to their disposal: Tier 1, Tier 2 and Tier 3. For example Tier 1 adds 3 more games into the Free Tier games so they can play 6 games in the set;Tier 2 add 6 more games and so 9 games they can play and so on. Each individual game in their set is a variant of others in differing Tiers. If they don't wish and play Free Tier games, they may play them too, with limited set of themes but infinite times. If a user chooses a tier, let us say Tier 1, and when they play 6 games, they are asked if they would like advance to Tier 2 or Tier 3. If they choose Tier 2, as they complete the respective games they will be asked for Tier 3. However, if they don't wish to advance, again they can play current Tier games as many times as they wish. It is like non-subscription apps then converted to subscription-based ones. In App Store Connect, I created a number of products for in-app purchases for an app. How I can deliver this Free Tier games in the app and let users try it and allow them to choose in-app purchase products available in AppStore Connect. I would appreciate response and support. Best Lexxyacc

When developing VR experiences for the Apple Vision Pro, using Unreal Engine 5.4. Can I deploy the project with deferred rendering? Or do I still need to use forward rendering? (for mobile devices) Thanks for any information on that, appreicate it!

Hello, our game Nerd Survivors has been identified as spam. The game is based on an original IP and the only games that should share any resemblance with it are from our company. Today we got notified the rejection due to the violation of Guideline 4.3 but there is no reference to the other application or even a contact to the other developer. We do use Unity as our game engine, so some parts of the code might be shared across different games, but i cannot find any other justification of the failure. "Guideline 4.3(a) - Design - Spam We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps submitted to the App Store by other developers, with only minor differences. Submitting similar or repackaged apps is a form of spam that creates clutter and makes it difficult for users to discover new apps."

Hello. My game, which I have been preparing for a long time on Unity, has been completed. But I have a big problem. My game is a game focused on constantly drawing lines. For this reason, I need to draw lines in the safe area at the bottom of the iPhone. However, due to the shortcuts on the iPhone, my game is constantly put in the background or switched to another application. Since there are so many levels in my game, it is almost impossible to redesign the levels and since I am a game with lines drawn, I will always have this problem again. What I want is to cancel the shortcut to switch to another application and put it in the background when I swipe from left to right or right to left when my game opens. When my game opens, the priority is on the lines in my game. I also marked the defer system gestures on edges section on Unity for postponement, but it did not help. Also, postponing it will not solve the problem. For example, they disabled these shortcuts in the (mini metro) game and you can never use these shortcuts in the game. I did a lot of research on forum sites and chatgpt and tried different codes, but I couldn't find a solution. Can you help me with this? When my game is opened, I want to prevent and cancel the transition to another application by drawing a line left and right in the safe area section at the bottom and the game from being placed in the background. I would be very happy if you could help me with a hint or a code on what to do.

Hello! We are experiencing crashes on iOS both in debug and release builds in a game made in Godot 3.5.1. The main problem is that we don’t know where exactly the problem is and cannot understand how could we find a way to fix it. We don't expect that someone here will know how to fix this on Godot's side, but we would appreciate some help on how to get more info about the problem and potentially fix it. Debug builds: It is way more frequent in debug builds when we make a build, open it in Xcode, and install it directly on an iOS device. The first type of the crash in debug build is occurring like 70% of the time when the game is loading and trying to get into its main menu. The thing we are getting in Xcode looks like on first image below. Another type of crash happens when we open some save files and start the actual playable part of the game. It happens just after moving the character a few steps and it looks like on second image below. We are aware that the log recommends using breakpoints to find where exactly the problem is, but the thing is that we don’t know where we could do that in Xcode. We are not sure if we are missing something in Xcode or if we cannot do that when opening a project made in Godot. We tried many different builds with removed shader files, and scenes and changed different kinds of settings. We would get the same crash every time. When we made a new build, we cleared the build’s folder. Also, we occasionally deleted the .import folder of the project during development and reimported it. The problem occurred on many different iOS devices with more than 4GB of RAM. Release builds: These builds are uploaded on TestFlight. In release builds crashes wouldn’t occur like in debug builds. They would happen like totally randomly. In some testing sessions, it would happen like 10 minutes in the game, and in others in a few hours. Some testers couldn’t get the crash and altogether and we couldn’t find some repro steps to produce these crashes. In the attached files, you can find logs that we managed to collect from TestFlight. The most frequent type of the crash that we got, is following: Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Subtype: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS Additional info: From reading Apple’s documentation Investigating memory access crashes, we got it that the problem is in “Invalid memory fetch”, but we couldn’t find how this could help us with further investigation. When we used Address Sanitizer tool and made a build, suddently the game stopped crashing in debug builds like it did before. Also we then didn't receive logs in Xcode that would hint us that something is going on. Tried to build our project in newer version of Godot, but the problem still persisted. Used software and hardware: Godot 3.5.1 macOS, Ventura, 13.5 Xcode, 15.2 iPad Air (5th generation), 17.4.1 MacBook Pro, Apple M1 If you have some clues or ideas on how to fix this problem, please write it, it would mean us a lot. Don’t hesitate to ask questions if something is unclear. Thank you very much in advance!

I am wanting to create a 3D video game in Xcode for macOS, iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and visionOS. I have heard that there are a few different ways to go about this such as MetalKit or SceneKit. These libraries seem to have little examples and documentation so I am wondering: Are they still be developed/supported? Which platform should I make a game in? Where are some resources to learn how to use these platforms? Are there other better platforms that I am just not aware of? Thanks!

Please treat me as a beginner of Unity. Now I want to learn to develop visionOS VR App through unity. I try to find a relatively complete route and start learning, but Unity's official website does not have much explanation for visionOS VR App, so I hope you can give me a comparison. The whole route, thank you!

Wanted to reach out for some assistance with troublshooting my watch app not detecting collision, I have set up a few breakpoints and determined that it is not running the game over struct even if it had detected the collision, I have also tried to generate a log file when a collision is detected and that does not work either. I have considered that the objects may not be on the same layer so they are now in the same zstack.

Hi! I have a new game and I have setup the leaderboards and achievements in App Store Connect but all of them are "not live" and in console I see this warning: "No AchievementDescription could be found for Achievement with ID: {my_ID}" I did not do a fresh Game Center setup for a long time, but is there any way to test if achievements and leaderboards are working for nonreleased game? Thank you!

Hello, I want to change the name of the app, but even though I have changed it everywhere in AppStore Connect, the old name is still displayed. Where should I change it? Thank you very much. If you want to Download it, feel free to do it and play: https://acortar.link/zDRgyy
