I’m writing to ask for some urgent help and advice. The company has made a decision to stop the support for the Apple Watch app. However we are unable to do so as just removing the app target is giving an error which upon searching is per  https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1623/_index.html   We are looking to remove the Watch app in the new year with the next app release which is in Jan 2021. Since the company no longer wants to keep the Watch App functioning, can you please help in how to solve for this? Changing the bundle Identifier is not an option as that doing so will result in customers having to download a new app which is a really bad customer experience for us. The app's currently on min deployment version of 10.0 For more context, Apple has an April 2021 mandate about having all Apple watch apps in WatchOS7. The Watch app is being removed as we do not have the capacity to upgrade the current version to WatchOS7.   The need to support devices per the above link is going to be problematic in getting to this goal..

Has anybody cracked the problem of being able to fail Tests if the screen layout has changed from baselined values? The scenario is that when a fairly large app is in active development or continuous uplift, squads may regularly change common UI components that are used all over the app. We need a way to baseline what is an acceptable app UI experience (eg screenshots in UITests) and then compare them with those from later runs of the same UITest after making UI changes to see if that has potentially affected areas of app that we did not expect to change , by failing that UITest

What configuration on the mobile app, if any, is required so that we can distribute it over Testflight but also have it testable over devices that are connected to backends that are available only over VPN and on MDM devices. This is to perform feature testing before the build is tested on production environment and finally goes out to customers

Great update in Xcode 12 organiser. looks like Metrickit and Organiser metrics are now beginning to give similar data. so for people interested in data from the field, if you can bring in mxsignpost metrics into the Xcode organiser view then that would remove the need for teams to have their servers to upload that data and teams will be able to view it in one place in the organiser. Do you already have a plan or would you like this to be raised as a feature request? Thanks!

Hi, Am trying to find a way to run Instruments like leaks, Core Animation (FPS) in CI to ensure that all PRs merge with the required levels for these metrics. In addition, I am looking to do some of these on device ie. FPS measure. 1. Are there command line options that can be used by CI to startup these instruments and run on Simulator and iOS Devices2. are there ways to diff the output trace files to automate the checks on the metrics for eg FPS is atleast 60FPS 3. If anyone has done it, could you also talk to how it affects the CI performance for each PR?

The .nib files binary generated via Xcode 11.3 is almost double than those generated by Xcode 10.2. This increases the size of the app generated for adhoc download.The size increase is due to nib file has two formatsobjects-13.0+.nibruntime.nibWhat are these used for ?Though the Testflight size is sliced to smaller size, Any ideas if this can be fixed?

We use enterprise in-house distribution to distribute the Alpha builds of our mobile app to internal QA teams and to company employees that volunteered to test the builds. These are app instances that point to system integration test environment (SIT) or QA environment. Only devices that under MDM can connect to QA or devices in a private company network can do so. with the custom apps now becoming the default distribution mechanism and enterprise becoming possible for cases that cannot be covered by custom apps per wwdc 2019 video on business apps,1. can we continue using enterprise in-house distribution for the above case?2. If we should move to testflight, we will need to distribute to external group as the 25 internal will not be enough for our test group. in that case would apple review allow us to distribute apps that link to internal environments for testing. In this case of course the final release candidate build will test against production and that's the one that will be released to production. Thanks!

In the videos 224_hd_modernizing_your_ui_for_ios_13 , Apple mentions a requirement that by April 2020 all apps shouldAdopt launch storyboards, Support Any Size, Support Split screen multitaskingDoes Support Split screen multitasking mean as described in 258_hd_architecting_your_app_for_multiple_windows?1. Does this mean that we only need to update Base SDK version to iOS13 in Xcode and implement the scene methods? 2. and that we can still keep deployment target to lower iOS versions which will still provide backward compatibility?

in dub dub they said that xcframework can be used for swift, c and c++ files...what does this mean for libraries having ObjC code, if we want to expose those as binaries for now eg instead of using Cocoapods, which imports source files and so our app has to compile those sources each time it builds even though there is no change ever. This adds to the build time. These libraries are in ObjC. Can we use xcframework to encapsulate those in a binary framework and use them in our project?

Have been watching 'Data Flow through SwiftUI' https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/226/Can the Environment in Swift UI be used in place of singleton models eg. Like AppState, Models data used in several different tabs in tabbed application. So where traditionally it would either be held by Appdelegate (not recommended but still done) or have Singleton that holds onto these... we can keep it in the Environment? or Does it work as persisted information only in a view's hierarchy
