Hi all, I'm working for a publisher, and we're looking to bring some of our PC/console titles over to Apple Arcade - how viable is this? Is Unity or Unreal Engine easier to port from? Does anyone have any contacts with porting studios who have done this before? Thanks

I want to implement a feature where a custom notification sound file is downloaded from the server when the app is first launched and stored locally on the device. When a push notification arrives, the stored sound should be played in all app states, including foreground, background, and terminated (killed) state. Does anyone have an idea on how to implement this in iOS? Specifically, I am looking for guidance on: 1)Downloading and storing the sound file securely on the device. 2)Using the locally stored file for push notification sounds. 3)Ensuring the sound plays correctly in all states, including when the app is not running.

Hello, I am trying to enroll to apple developer program as solo developer. While trying to enroll via app my passport and drivers license are not validated. When trying to enroll via web, I fill in the details and try to make the payment, but payment itself is not deducted from my bank account. I receive email that payment is being processed, but nothing further happens.

When i say “forgot password” in the app store it allows me to reset with passcode but when i enter the passcode it’s different than the one i enter when i unlock the phone. what would cause this issue?

We are a technical team of a large enterprise whose main business depends on internally developed iOS applications. Our Apple enterprise developer account expires on February 16th, and we filled in the renewal application form before that, but it was rejected by Apple. We contacted the Apple consultant through Apple's official website, and they said that the enterprise department is a separate department, and they could not solve my problem. Later, after efforts, I directly contacted the email address of the enterprise department, and I explained our situation. After their review, the final plan still could not renew, but only extended the use of our P12 certificate, and the maximum extension was one year in the end, so that we can deal with the application that is being distributed by the enterprise as soon as possible. May I ask if there is any better way to successfully renew my account? We only extended the certificate, which is not what we want, but this is the only way at present. If there is a good way to communicate, please check my personal information and have my email address for communication. Thank you all

Hello all. I am currently developing a database app of particular products for people who collect this item. Let's say model airplanes. People can look at their list of model airplanes and also see a collection of airplanes by model companies. I want to offer a link from a product in my app to a local retailer's website who sells this product on their website. Not just their base site, but directly to the products page. Meaning each product in my database will have a unique link to an external product page. This could also include links to Ebay or Amazon if local retailer doesn't sell the product. Is this sort of feature allowed inside App Store Apps as technically it's not an in-app purchase? I do see some vague answers around but none that target this specific circumstance. Thankyou in advance.

Hi, I am testing my app with TestFlight. The app is developed with React Native Expo. Step 1: Log into the app – everything works fine. Step 2: Use the app – everything works fine. Step 3: Close the app without logging out, just close it. Step 4: Remove the app from the recent apps window. Step 5: Try to open the app again, but it requires login again. I don’t understand why the login parameters are not retained and why the app asks me to log in again. Code used for login handling: import AsyncStorage from "@react-native-async-storage/async-storage"; useEffect(() => { const loadToken = async () => { const token = await AsyncStorage.getItem(TOKEN_KEY); if(token) { axiosInstance.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${token}`; try { const response = await axiosInstance.get('/auth/check'); const data = response.data; setSession(token); setUser(data.user); } catch (e) { setSession(null); setUser(null); } } } loadToken().then(() => setIsLoading(false)); }, []); Important Note: This issue only occurs when we switch to production. In the test environment, everything works fine, and we don’t experience this problem. However, as soon as we build for production and test on multiple devices, this issue appears. Thanks in advance!

It works if Bluetooth is on for a long time, is there any problem? I'm developing an app using beacon and Bluetooth, and I have to operate the app in the background, and after spending the weekend, I have to detect the beacon and revive the app. I can see that there is an app in the background, but the app is not coming back to life. How can I solve this problem? Or is the OS team working on something to block it? The test model is Iphone16Plus.

Bluetooth is no more working with the upgrade to iOS 18.3.1 I loaded this night !!! (iPhone SE model III). Please debug it!

Xcode16打包运行在iOS18系统上，当输入中文时，- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText; 这个代理方法，输入中文时，每次按下拼音 就会触发。 Xcode16打包在非iOS18系统上不会这样，Xcode15打包，在iOS18+和iOS18-系统上也都不会这样，只有Xcode16+iOS18 会这样

I see games like Resident Evil and others have a partnership with Apple to help bring it to the MacOS and iOS platform and I was wondering if anyone knows how a company gets these partnerships, is it Apple who reaches out or do they have to reach out?

Hi, EtreCheck I could really use some help with this, as I haven’t been able to find much concrete info. I mistakenly updated my MacBook to the 15.5 beta, and while I can’t say with 100% certainty that the issues started immediately after, I’ve been experiencing consistent kernel panics every time the machine wakes from sleep — it restarts completely and throws an error. I’m really hoping this isn’t a hardware issue. The MacBook is just over two years old, and I rely on it daily for work — replacing it right now isn’t an option. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Time Machine backup to roll back to. I’ve already wiped the machine and reinstalled macOS via recovery mode, and Apple Diagnostics isn’t showing any hardware problems. Just to rule it out: I’m not using any external devices — no docks, Thunderbolt accessories, or anything else plugged in. I came across EtreCheck as a recommended tool, and I’ve included the results below. If anyone is able to help interpret them or point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it. I’ve since unenrolled from the beta and turned off automatic updates — I’m just hoping this is a beta-related bug that resolves with the next stable release. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi all, after installing ios 18.4 beta here in Europe (and also resetting and restoring my iphone given Apple Intelligence features were not working at all initially) my phone decided to reoptimise my whole photo library which took a while and I understand it was a battery consuming process. Nonetheless, this is all done, all Apple intelligence features supposedly work and my phone is still in ongoing device setup burning through the battery to the point I am sure this will make my battery health drop. does anyone know what is going on (indexing?), how long it will take and why is it happening? Is it because of the 18.4 beta or because of having Apple Intelligence for the first time? can someone please confirm that at the very least this will NOT have to take place again after moving to the official 18.4? thanks

How did my contacts suddenly end up on iCloud when I didn't give permission to do such? Where is your security and privacy commitment for your own software, Apple? No wonder celebrities get hacked. They hack 1, and then you get a list of phone numbers and emails for a whole bunch of other A-listers.

I am trying to connect to my openbsd server. The command works over local network (I am identified by public key) but fails over remote network. I get the following error : $ ssh -vvv sylvain @ saboua.xyz OpenSSH_9.8p1, LibreSSL 3.3.6 ... debug1: Authenticator provider $SSH_SK_PROVIDER did not resolve; disabling debug3: channel_clear_timeouts: clearing debug1: Connecting to saboua.xyz port 22. ssh: connect to host saboua.xyz port 22: Operation timed out A solution I gues would be to use brew's LibreSSL 4.0, but I cant find how to use it instead of the system LibreSSL.

I would like to inquire about an error that has started occurring while debugging AppStore billing. (In sandbox environment) This error occurs after entering a password and completing the purchase process, and in this case, no completion alert appears. The error doesn't seem to depend on the purchase item, sandbox account, or device, and shows unstable behavior - sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing. Additionally, this error started occurring after special debugging where the network was disconnected during the purchase process. Moreover, the same error occurs in the TestFlight version of our already released normal (supposedly) version. I think this might be a sandbox-specific error where the system has temporarily become unstable, but what do you think? If so, how can I resolve this issue? I would appreciate your insights on the cause and appropriate response.

Hi Apple Team & Everyone, Can someone guide me why sending 'diskutil eraseDisk APFS "WIPED" GPT /dev/disk0' command via terminal to remove/wipe the main physical drive (disk0) is failed? I tried booting into recovery mode, but it still didn’t work. The command returned the following error: Started erase on disk0 Unmounting disk The volume on disk0 couldn't be unmounted because it is in use by process 0 (kernel). Error: -69877: Couldn't open device I understand that we can use Disk Utility (GUI) to unmount and erase the drive. Is it possible to perform this operation via Terminal to erase disk0? I would appreciate any guidance on this. Regards, Winson
