Best replacement for MCL
So, as we found out from WWDC, the migration to Apple Silicon is inevitable. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a replacement for Macintosh Common Lisp on Apple Silicon? I was using it back in the MPW days and struggling to keep the Lisp code working, but Apple Silicon has thrown a money wrench at it! Thanks in advance for any advice on any available Apple Silicon Lisp development tools!

Can’t Enable Developer Mode on Apple Watch – No Prompt Appears
Hi, I’m currently developing a watchOS app and ran into an issue where I can’t enable Developer Mode on my Apple Watch. Device info: Apple Watch Series 9 (watchOS 10.4) Paired with iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 17.4.1) Xcode 15.3 (macOS 15.5, Apple Silicon) Issue: When I try to run the app on my physical watch device, Xcode prompts that Developer Mode needs to be enabled. However, there is no approval request on the Apple Watch, and no Developer Mode option appears under Settings → Privacy & Security. I’ve already tried the following: Rebooting both devices Unpairing and re-pairing the watch Erasing and setting up the watch again Signing out and back into my Apple ID Using the latest Xcode version (15.3 and 16.3 both tested) Running clean builds and checking provisioning profiles Attempting install via both simulator and physical device Still no luck — the app will not launch on the Apple Watch due to Developer Mode being disabled, and the option is missing entirely from Settings. I visited an Apple Store Genius Bar, but they couldn’t help and told me to contact Developer Support. I’ve already submitted a support request, but in the meantime I wanted to ask here in case anyone else has experienced this and found a workaround. Thanks in advance.

Flutter App not Building for iOS
Hey, Since I set up push notifications for my Flutter app following this tutorial https://documentation.onesignal.com/docs/flutter-sdk-setup, my Flutter app no ​​longer builds for iOS in the CD pipeline.

The file .xcworkspace does not exist
I have an xCode project called Vision + CoreML I wanted add some charts into it so I started installing cocoapad for the first time I followed all the steps from installing the latest ruby version to running pod install The critical .xcworkspace had been never created no matter how many times pod install was run. It is nowhere to be found. Could anyone advise me on what went wrong here? Here are some files used to generate Podfile platform :ios, '15.0' target 'Vision + CoreML' do use_frameworks! # Comment the next line if you don't want to use dynamic frameworks pod 'Alamofire', '~> 5.6' # Pods for Vision + CoreML pod 'Charts' end and here is the command prompt output ls MacBook-Pro-3:NotAbgabe myusername$ ls App Main View Configuration Models Documentation Podfile Extensions README.md Image Predictor Vision+Core-ML.xcodeproj LICENSE I ran all the commands under the NotAbgabe folder. Not sure if xcworkspace is hidden somewhere between the files

Unlocking hidden "Developer mode" option on Ipad (without Mac or Xcode)
Hello, I have an iphone but not an ipad Actually a relative has an iPad. The problem I encoutered was when i was testing an app that I had built prior (so I had the ipa file) but no acces to Xcode. The thing is when I wanted to test it on my iphone, everything WENT SMOOTH and ok. When I tried on iPAD, I encounteed the problem I could not unlock the hidden "developer mode" option in any way, I tried so many things, checked and rechecked, the option was and stayed hidden, I could not activate it. Therefore I could not test the app. In the apple store I was required to give a screenshot for iPAD but that failed. because I could not produce ANY, since I could not run my app on iPAD. I actually have no idea how I activated the ability to turn on the developer mode on my iphone, it was just there and I activated it perhaps because I had added the email of my iphone to the developer account somehow? somehwere? But for iPAD I just could not find a way to do it, don't know if adding it somewhere could trigger something on the ipad to allow it to show the developer mode option so I can activate it finally? Anyway, I tried things I read on internet, methods that mention how to activate the developer mode ability on an ios devide though WINDOWS, there were 2 but one I did not trust much, and even I think i tried it and in the end it did not work for some incompatibility making that method obsolete or something? the other I am not sure but probably same idea. I would like to know, how to activate the ABILITY to SHOW the option to activate the developer mode on iPAD (or any other device but for now I am focuson on iPad) please, and without using macbook or xcode!? Could Apple or anyone offer some guidance? That would help a fellow developer. Thank you. Ps. No I cant get the mac or xcode for now (but hopefully in a far future, but for now I can't). Thanks

Symbol not found: NSUserActivityTypeLiveActivity and WidgetCenter.UserInfoKey.activityID
The app I'm working on has iOS 16.0 as target. Recently Live Activities support was added, but then it started crashing when running on iOS 16.0 devices. After some investigation, I've found that the culprit was the presence of NSUserActivityTypeLiveActivity and WidgetCenter.UserInfoKey.activityID, even though they were inside an @available(iOS 17.2, *) block. If I comment these two variables, the app work as expected. I've also tried adding #if canImport(ActivityKit) around the code, but without success. But if the @available isn't working, how can I prevent this? It looks like a bug, since the documentation says that NSUserActivityTypeLiveActivity is supported but iOS 14.0+, but I'm pretty sure it was introduced on 16.1. This is the only output I get with the crash: dyld[66888]: Symbol not found: _$s9WidgetKit0A6CenterC11UserInfoKeyV10activityIDSSvgZ Referenced from: <D6EFF120-2681-34C1-B261-8F3F7B388238> /Users/<redacted>/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/8B5B4DC9-3D54-4C91-8C88-E705E851CA0F/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/DB6671FF-CB07-4570-BD63-C851D94FAF29/<redacted>.app/<redacted>.debug.dylib Expected in: <C5E72BB5-533F-3658-A987-E849888F4DFC> /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_20A360/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 16.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/Frameworks/WidgetKit.framework/WidgetKit

Apple Mail unsubscribe feature is returning encoded characters in the unsubscribe mail
Hi team, we have a large-scale application in use that sends bulk emails to thousands of users. We adhere to all standard guidelines and protocols, and our email addresses are whitelisted to ensure they are not considered spam. Our users create email alerts on our platform and receive notifications on their respective email addresses. These communications are not unknown, spam, or unsolicited marketing. To maintain trust with our users, we provide an unsubscribe feature as per RFC2369-compliant. We have added list unsubscribe headers with mailTo implementation and sent it to outlook/gmail accounts. However, when unsubscribed, the email seems to be having the encoded characters as is. Whereas the same is working fine in other email clients without any encodings. The headers were implemented according to the List-Unsubscribe headers as specified in the IETF RFC and our emails are purely transactional in nature. This is a critical issue for a large organization like ours and while it works properly on Gmail web and mobile, it is essential for us to check with Apple Mail client as well. This situation undermines our commitment to user trust and compliance. Can anybody assist me why the encoding is showing up? Would like to know whats the process involved to enable the unsubscribe button in Apple mail client application?

Workbench Ad Tester not returning preview URLs
Apologies if this isn't tagged right but dev tools and services seemed the most appropriate since this is related to the workbench Ad Tester tool. I'm seeing a behavior where the preview link is not being generated. Specifically, I am seeing a POST request to the following URL consistently fail: https://iadworkbench.apple.com/adtester/api/v1/ads/previewLink?orgId=1127861 Variations/scenarios I have tried so far: All possible ad format choices on all possible devices All options for the placement type Both third party and uploaded creative sources Uploaded creative sources appear to be failing to upload as well A simple div with a "hello world" content fails as a third party creative source Multiple apple accounts I created a new account specifically to test if my primary apple ID was experiencing issues with this Multiple browsers I have tried multiple versions of Chrome/Firefox/Safari I tested with and without browser extensions to determine whether an extension was interfering or not Clearing session/local storage along with cookies I also created new profiles in browsers to verify that I was getting a fresh browser environment In all of these cases, the API request to generate a preview link is consistently failing with a 500 error code. It's worth noting that the web preview option works, but this isn't a truly accurate test environment and can't be solely relied on when testing ad content. I don't know exactly when this started happening as I have not used it in the last couple of weeks but I have used the workbench ad tester extensively in the past the same way I have been trying with my current test without issue. That coupled with the fact that the request for the preview link consistently fails in all of the test scenarios I've outlined above leads me to believe there is a problem with the API that is responsible for generating the preview links.

App Store Review: Zero Consistency
I’ve officially given up trying to release my app on iOS. Apple’s latest rejection quotes: • Guideline 5.1.5 – Location Services “The app uses location data for features that are not relevant to a user’s location. Specifically, the app is not functional when Location Services are disabled. To resolve this issue, please revise the app so that the app is fully functional without requiring the user to enable Location Services.” • Guideline 5.1.1 – Data Collection and Storage Complaining that the app “encourages or directs” users to go to Settings to enable location. My app is literally built around live location. The entire point is: you walk the circuit, see telemetry synced with where you are. No location, no app. That is the product. Apple wants the app to be “fully functional” without the one thing it needs to exist. That’s like rejecting a camera app because it doesn’t “fully function” with no camera permission. What makes this worse is the complete lack of consistency. Every time I fix what they ask, the next review comes back with a different problem, instead of a clear list of issues to solve in one go. No stable checklist, no coherent interpretation, just moving goalposts and copy-paste template replies that ignore reviewer notes and how the app actually works. They don’t seem to understand how incapable this process is for serious, niche apps. It’s not about quality or privacy at this point, it’s about box-ticking and cover-your-back behaviour. Meanwhile, small devs are supposed to burn weeks rewriting core flows just to satisfy someone who clearly hasn’t even tried to use the app properly. I’ve decided to keep the app Android-only. iOS simply isn’t worth fighting with a review system that can’t even be consistent with its own guidelines. Has anyone else had similar problems with Apple inventing a new issue every review instead of giving you one clear, stable set of requirements to fix?

UI tests blocked by “bash requesting screen access” popup in Mac OS 15
On macOS, I get a system popup when running UI tests in GitHub saying: “bash” is requesting to bypass the system private window picker and directly access your screen and audio. How can I prevent these login and screen access popups from appearing during automated UI tests? Is there an official setup or configuration for running IntelliJ UI tests in CI environments (macOS, Linux, Windows) to avoid such dialogs? My builds run in GitHub Actions VMs, so I can’t manually grant these permissions, and they block the tests.

Fairplay 4.x Certificate Revocation
I created a fairplay.cer file using the below commands : openssl genrsa -out private_key.pem 1024 openssl req -new -key private_key.pem -out request.csr Here, I manually entered the Country, Organization, etc. I was supposed to use the below commands to make the same : openssl genrsa -aes256 -out privatekey.pem 1024 opensslreq-new-sha1-keyprivatekey.pem-outcertreq.csr-subj "/CN=SubjectName /OU=OrganizationalUnit /O=Organization /C=US" Owing to this, I am unable to create a .p12 file through Keychain Access. I thus want to generate a new fairplay.cer file for Fairplay 4.x. I want to revoke the certificate in order to generate a new one (as it has a limit of 1 certificate for Fairplay) Requesting developer support from Apple. Have raised multiple requests over the past 4 days.

Is it possible to use Lottie with Swift Package Manager files?
Hi! I wanted to use Lottie in my swiftpm app, but I've been running into errors and I'm not sure if it's possible. When I try to run the app, it crashes and I get errors saying that the library isn't loaded and the files aren't found (basically these: https://github.com/lottie-react-native/lottie-react-native/issues/373 , https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-ios/issues/2233 ). But moving the framework file into the PackageFrameworks folder doesn't work, and also I'm getting the error that swiftpm cannot distribute packages containing binary frameworks and from what I understand that just isn't something that swiftpm can do. So I was wondering if anyone knows any workarounds to this, or if I should just ditch Lottie? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
