Please Help! App won't open for 1 user, Just fades away.
[https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/1051990313) We are experiencing an issue where a user is unable to open our app on their iPhone 16 Pro Max running iOS 18.3. When the user selects the app, it begins to scale to screen size but then fades away without fully opening. It is unclear whether this is a crash or another issue. To troubleshoot, we created a simplified version of the app containing only a single screen displaying "Hello, World." The user experiences the same issue with this version, leading us to believe there may be a device-specific setting or compatibility issue at play. Steps the User Has Tried: Checked device storage – over 200GB available Offloaded and reinstalled the app Deleted and reinstalled the app Updated to iOS 18.3 Forced restart of the device Reset network settings Turned off VPN Despite these steps, the issue persists. We would appreciate any guidance on potential causes or troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue.

Mac Studio – Wake from sleep – Desktop picture not stretching to fill Desktop
On wake from sleep the Mac Studio's Desktop picture is shown in actual resolution instead of stretched to fit screen. For example, a picture which is 2059 × 1371 is shown at that resolution on a 5K Retina screen and so only fills about 60% of the screen area. It starts with the picture positioned in the top left corner but sometimes moves down the screen. This behaviour does not change if the screen is scaled up or down – the picture size is also scaled. Notice that icons on the Desktop are displayed in the correct position. At the same time, the Dock is shown at the bottom of the picture instead of at the bottom of the screen. Usually, the Desktop redisplays correctly. But increasingly, the only solution is to log out and in again. This might be related to my other question on the Desktop picture Pref Pane. See attached example which is a full screen capture i.e. command-shift-3 (with my personal details obscured):

Rejected for Guideline 4.3 - Spam
Hello, One of our apps has been rejected under Guideline 4.3 for spam. Our studio has been on the App Store for 10+ years and this particular app has been available for over two years without previous issue. We have submitted a couple responses to the original rejection outlining why we think our app is unique and not spam and unfortunately we have been rejected. I have also submitted an appeal and requested a phone call. This is compounded by a live issue happening in our app right now that requires a build to unblock. I added that to our review notes for submission but was rejected. We believe we have been flagged as spam in error and would like to release builds to our active players ASAP to get them unblocked and provide further value to them. Beyond submitting an appeal and requesting a call is there anything else I can do?

Swift Student Challenge Playgrounds app in 3 min
I intend to participate in the Swift Student Challenge 25. I see Rules, It is mentioned that Playgrounds works should be a work that can be experienced in three minutes. However, my work does not meet this requirement. Create an interactive scene in an app playground that can be experienced within three minutes. Initially, my work was not intended for the Challenge but for the App Store. However, I decided to submit it to the Challenge, and my work and I met the requirements of the Challenge. Therefore, my work is a complete application, which makes it impossible for the judges to experience it within three minutes. It may take more time. Does this have any impact?

Can we use Multipeer Connectivity framework and opensource packages for Swift Student Challenge?
I am building an app playground for SSC'25 where I want to use Multipeer Connectivity framework that would allow me to send and receive data to and from stranger devices. I also want to use some other open-source packages for some of the features. I just wanted to know if we are allowed to use or not?

There is no Driver Extensions option to resolve this error.
I have a Logitech Yeti GX microphone, which is working, but i am unable to fully use all its features because of a driver issue. Logitech states the following to resolve "The program Logitech G Hub Driver installer tried to load a new driver extension. To enable this extension, open Systems Settings>General>Login Items & Extensions>Logitech G Hub HID Driver Extension> Toggle on.... that appears to be simple enough... only problem is that Driver Extension doesnt exist as an option for me. Any thoughts as to why not? Thanks for your help.

Apple Relationship Manager (ARM) – A Business CRM for Calls & Messages
Apple has a massive opportunity to improve iOS for business users with ARM (Apple Relationship Manager)—a built-in tool that allows professionals to log, summarize, and integrate calls & messages into CRM workflows. Many professionals (salespeople, executives, entrepreneurs) use iPhones for business, but there’s no easy way to track conversations, categorize interactions, or integrate messages with a CRM. ARM would solve this by allowing: ✅ AI-powered call summaries (users get a suggested summary after each call, which can be reviewed and tagged). ✅ iMessage/SMS tagging (users can hold down messages to assign a sentiment or create a follow-up). ✅ CRM Integration (ARM logs could sync with HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.). How ARM Would Work: • Users could tap an “ARM Accept” (green accept button with the ARM logo instead of white phone symbol) button before a call to activate AI-powered summarization. • After the call, users would review/edit the summary and log a sentiment (e.g., “Needs Follow-Up”). • In iMessage, users could long-press messages to summarize conversations and tag key interactions for both blue and green messages. • ARM would keep everything on-device, ensuring privacy and security. Since Apple Intelligence is already introducing AI-powered features, ARM could make iPhones the ultimate business communication tool while keeping everything private and secure. If you also want Apple to build this, submit feedback at Apple Feedback and comment here to show support!

Keys are missing in App Store Server API
For the subscription API, we’re using the Get All Subscription Statuses API to replace the deprecated verifyReceipt method. To determine if a user has canceled their subscription, we’re using the expirationIntent key from JWSRenewalInfo data. However, we’ve noticed that we sometimes receive this key and other times not. We’re also facing an issue with the offertype key. We use this key to determine if a user is currently in the introductory offer, the promotion offer, or neither. To obtain this key, we’re using JWSTransaction, but we occasionally receive it and other times not. Note: These issues are being tested in the sandbox environment. Thank you.

How will my app be tested in the Swift Student Challenge?
Hello, I’m developing my project for the Swift Student Challenge and I have some questions about the platform it will be tested on. If I create an iOS app that uses ARKit, for example, will it be evaluated on a real iPhone or only in a simulator on a Mac? I ask this because some functionalities, such as camera-based augmented reality, don’t work properly in the simulator. I’d like to better understand the guidelines to ensure my project functions correctly during the evaluation. Thank you!

Guided Capture iOS analysis phase time?
I've just watched "Meet Object Capture for iOS wwdc23" and have installed and run the app. After taking > 120 images of my model I clicked the "Finish" button and the app is now showing a spinning pinwheel. It has been running for about 22 hours. Is it going to finish or should I kill it? TIA!

My system has become damaged by my experimentation. But Recovery refuses to re-install
My experiments have managed to damage my installed system and I am getting alerts that it needs to be re-installed. But when I try to get Recovery to re-install the same system, it refuses. It says my installed system is newer than what it could install. In general, what is the minimum I would need to change or remove from my current system to convince Recovery to re-install? For example: Could I just delete a certain small group of System files? Could I Erase only the Macintosh HD Volume in the container, leaving the Macintosh HD - data Volume intact? I really would rather not ERASE everything and restore it all from backups, just to satisfy Recovery that it will not be writing older over newer. It won't be, but since I have available applied updates, the version available for Restore is currently older than the damaged version on the drive.

I can't disableScreen Sharing session initiated by somebody else
Another developer tried to start a screen-sharing session with me on my M1 MacBook Air this morning (Sequoia 15.3). He reported however that another session was already under way on my machine. I looked in System Settings and found that the "Screen Sharing" setting was grayed out, with the notation that "This service is currently being controlled by the Remote Management service". Access to the service is disabled however, and I have no way of turning it off. It's possible that the person who tried to help me got this session started, and that it then got aborted in some irregular way, but he see no indication of that and says there is no connection between us as seen from his end. This makes me nervous security-wise. Is there some way I can turn this off and ensure that I am not being screen-shared against my will, as it were? TIA, Howard
