I want to set a keyboard shortcut that can be entered from outside my app that I can receive a notification for from within my app. I found multiple ways to do this. Are there any that will work within the sandbox and allow me to submit my app to the app store without any special privileges?

In VisionOS is it possible to detect when a user is touching a physical surface in the real world and also to project 2D graphics on that surface? So imagine a windowless 2D app that is projected onto a surface, essentially turning a physical wall, table, etc. into a giant touchscreen?
So kinda like this:
https://appleinsider.com/articles/23/06/23/vision-pro-will-turn-any-surface-into-a-display-with-touch-control
But I want every surface in the room to be touchable and be able to display 2D graphics on the face of that surface and not floating in space. So essentially turning every physical surface in the room into a UIView.
Thanks!

After all these years I'm STILL getting this message. WHY hasn't Apple fixed this yet?! I'm on version Version 14.3.1. Is there any way to get this working? Developing for Apple Watch has been a total nightmare from day 1, I don't understand how it hasn't gotten any better. This error keeps me from testing my app on my Watch. My Watch is obviously unlocked. I tired every troubleshooting step I've read in the dozens of other posts about this issue.

I'm continuously getting this message in Xcode and I can't run my app on my Apple Watch. I'm running the latest versions of everything. I have tried to restart my Mac, my iPhone, my Watch. I tried to unpair and pair it back. Nothing is working. I also updated Xcode to 14.0.1 RC and that didn't help. How can I get this working? We're unable to do any work on our Watch App without this working. Thanks

My app suddenly won't run on the simulator. It still runs on my iPhone, but if I try to run it in the simulator it just freezes. The UI comes up but it's completely unresponsive and I can't tap anything. If I pause the project and look at the call stack I see a message saying "Application violated contract by causing UIApplicationMain() to return. This incident will be reported.". And in the console the last message I get is "void * _Nullable NSMapGet(NSMapTable * _Nonnull, const void * _Nullable): map table argument is NULL". Not sure if those are related but that's all I could find.

In all the years of developing for the Apple Watch, the process of trying to run my app on a physical watch or simulator through Xcode is still an absolute nightmare. I probably waste hours each day trying to get my app running. Either the watch doesn't show as paired in Xcode, or it's stuck setting the watch up for development, or it says it's running but Xcode just hangs, or it just doesn't show up in Xcode at all. I have to do so many combinations of restarting my watch, my iPhone, my Mac to try and get it working again. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and I just give up for the day.
Once I get it running I may have 5 times the app will start properly before going back to not running. When trying to use the simulator the watch keeps coming unpaired with the iPhone and won't run. And it's not possible to use Xcode with an iPhone that has multiple Apple Watches paired to it, which is annoying because I can't have one dedicated watch for testing. I just don't understand after all these years Apple Watch development just keeps getting worse and worse. I'm almost ready to just drop my Watch app completely, it's just not worth the headache we go through trying to develop it.

I'm trying to update our app, but every time I try to upload screenshots for our Watch App it just freezes and never finishes uploading the picture. The progress indicator on the image just gets stuck in place at about 10% and there are tons of Javascript errors.
I wrote Apple and gave them all the logs and errors but they haven't fixed it and won't even tell me if/when it will be fixed. I've been having this problem for over 2 months now and am unable to submit app updates, which is a big problem. Anyone else having this problem? Anything I can try?

How do I manage simulators in Xcode 14? I don't need a simulator for every minor version of iOS, they're just wasting space on my disk. I used to be able to delete these from Xcode, but it seems they removed this ability. Or did they move it somewhere that I am not seeing? I found all the files on my hard drive, but I don't want to start deleting individual files because it seems like there are multiple files for each simulator in different places.

After updating to Watch OS 9 our app suddenly cannot connect to the internet with my app using a NSURLSession. It gets an error NSURLErrorNotConnectedToInternet every time. But this still works fine on Watch OS 8.
I'm definitely connected to the Internet over WIFI on my Watch and iPhone. It still works fine in the simulator but not on my Watch. Are there any new requirements in Watch OS 9 to get internet access, such as request permission from the user or adding anything to info.plist?
Thanks

I'm trying to get information about the current Mission Control Spaces, specifically the current space number. I can access this info by using "defaults read com.apple.spaces". The problem is that this info only seems to update when a new space is created or deleted. So if you read this and then change the current space or open a new window, that file will still be set to the previous space until a new space is created or deleted, which would then update the file. I can't see any other way to get this information.
Is there any non-intrusive way to force the OS to update this plist file on demand (without relaunching the dock or Finder)? Or is there any other way to get the current space number any other way?
Thanks

Does anyone know if there is a way to escalate a developer support issue? I have been unable to submit app updates for months now due to a bug in App Store Connect that Apple support has acknowledged but has no fix for. Our app is dead in the water now and they are not helping or giving any indication of if/when it will be fixed.

I'm developing an independent WatchOS app that uses NSURLSessionWebSocketTask to access Web Sockets. This works fine as long as the Apple Watch is connected to an iPhone, but when it's not, the web socket won't connect and gives an error that there is no network available. Using NSURLSession to access a web resource works fine though whether the watch is connected to an iPhone or not. Is this a bug or is there a way to get this working? Thanks

I developed an independent Apple Watch that can access network resources on its own using NSURLSession without going through the iPhone. This works fine if the iPhone is on, but if I turn the iPhone off it is not able to connect. Why does my app lose network connectivity when the iPhone is off even though it's a standalone app and the Watch is connected to my WIFI? Is there anything special I need to do to get this working? It appears that no apps work with the internet when the iPhone is off. WIFI is enabled and connected to my WIFI network under the Settings on the watch

I'm using VNImageRequestHandler to recognize text using the camera. In my handler I'm using the topLeft, topRight, bottomLeft, bottomRight properties, which I'm scaling to the size of the canvas, to draw an outline around each text object. When I do this the Y position and Height are correct, but the Width is slightly smaller, and the X position centers the outline around the text. Any idea why this would be a different size?

Is it possible to share data/settings between an iPhone app and a standalone WatchOS app? Or have the watch app connect to the iOS app to send messages if available? I know how to do it the old way, but I'm moving my Watch app to be standalone and don't see how to communicate or share settings. Thanks
