Hello - I’m the Account Holder for an individual Apple Developer Program account. I’m working with freelance junior developers who are building my app in React Native mainly in TypeScript (.tsx) with some JavaScript, with code in GitHub. The app currently runs in Expo Go now.
I’ve been directed to this forum for step-by-step guidance. Specifically I need clear, sequential instructions I can give my developers (and what I personally must do on my Mac) so they can produce a properly signed iOS build for TestFlight (internal testing), and Upload that build to App Store Connect and then submit the release to the App Store.
Context:
This is an individual developer account (not an organization).
I am the only person with a Mac. I added them as developers but was told I need to be the one to upload the final build (is this true, and if so, what do they send me to do that, and when they send it to me, can you please tell me exactly what I need to do from there?)
I was told about Swift Playground, possible SwiftUI conversion if needed, APK file, and using my Xcode for final submission, but not sure what to make of this that will get it on TestFlight from the current React Native.
What I would like to ask for help with is a concise, step-by-step checklist (including exact menu names / commands or tools like EAS Submit, Transporter, or Xcode) of the developers' steps and my admin/account holder steps, so I can hand it to the developers and make sure nothing is missed to get on TestFlight.
I’m on a tight timeline, so any clear, detailed guidance would be extremely appreciated.
Thank you so much. I have looked everywhere and cannot find a step-by-step!

I noticed that there are numerous missing source repositories. For instance:
https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/IOHIDFamily/blob/07b14847cb5b4e0f826a3970961624969e443a6e/IOHIDFamily.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj#L4274
Many files referenced in the xcodeproj are listed but do not actually exist in the repositories.

Hi there
I've recently had my upload rejected in Xcode Organizer as a result of one of the frameworks we use containing
bitcode.
Error: [ContentDelivery.Uploader.XXXXXXXXXX] Validation failed (409) Invalid Executable. The executable 'Sam.app/Frameworks/Foo.framework/Foo' contains bitcode.
Is there an accurate way to determine whether an .xcframework contains bitcode ahead of time without using Xcode Organiser?
My current methodology is below, please can I get some confirmation that this is accurate, or suggest a more efficient approach?
I have concerns about my approach and whether it throws false positives for empty bitcode markers.
1. get original framework size
2. run xcrun bitcode_strip -r framework_path -o temp
3. get new framework size
4. if new size is smaller than original, then it contains bitcode
Thanks for the help,
Sam

I wanted to rollback a commit. So I shifted to the commit before it. Then I added new commits on the one I switched to, not realising this is not happening on the main branch.
Now what do I do?

Hi:
Apple's SDK (libSystem.B.tbd) provides definition for multiple symbols(__unw_add_dynamic_fde / __unw_add_find_dynamic_unwind_sections ), but doesn't provide corresponding headers, available in LLVM upstream as libunwind_ext.h
We need such headers to write Exception-Enabled JIT Framework for macOS
Hi,
I really appreciate the C++ binding provided.
I got the metal-cpp source code from the website at Getting Started. However, I could not find the same for metal-cpp-extensions. Is it not available or do we have to always extract it from the sample code?
Thanks.

Hello,
My app often crashes when I use simulators. I would like some help with reading the crash report that is generated. Especially with the part below Thread 0 Crashed. Based on other posts I understand that the 0x8BADF00D in the crash report is a WatchDog crash that basically says that WatchDog terminated the app because the main thread was blocked for a significant time. Many processes can block the main thread so it's hard to find out what it is in our specific case. Can someone help me reading through the crash report?
Short_crash_report.txt
Background information
The application is Xamarin Native and I use Rider as an IDE. When I use Visual Studio, the simulators run just fine. No crash occurs while using my app on a device.
The crash happens on multiple simulators with different OS versions. I already deleted XCode cache, erased content and settings of several simulators and deleted iOS DeviceSupport files.
I read on this documentation :
https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/app-uploads/on-demand-resources-size-limits
that On Demand Resources a legacy technology.
Does this mean ODR will be deprecated?
If so, when will it officially take effect?
Our application is planning to use it, so we need more information to support our decision.
Hi,
I keep getting an error message when I try to publish my App made with Rork into Apple IOS.
Message reads
"Submission failed: Submission failed. Contact support. Don’t dump it on Rork — it won’t fix this. We still need a human."
Any help with this would be appreciated.
I am using Microsoft edge and have also used Google Chrome.

Hi,
This can't be right. Is there really no replacement for Quartz Debug?!?
As the sole developer on a project who has an Intel Mac and Quartz Debug, I am basically a god now.
Everyone else has Apple Silicon and... I think they're randomly guessing at this point.
Because I have entire teams sending me Intel Mac builds of stuff just so I can test it in QD.
This is THE TOOL we used at NewTek to find performance issues, and THE TOOL I used for a dozen companies after that, to help them with similar issues.
If there's no replacement, is there a reason there's no replacement? This feels like a massive step backwards, having to guess at problems like this.

So I can see from the documentation that XCTAssertEqual(x, y) becomes #expect(x == y), but what about XCTAssertEqual(x, y, accuracy: 0.2)?
Does something already exist or do we need to write a more involved statement to see if x is less than y plus z and more than y minus z?

This morning I installed podman on my new Apple laptop. It can be inited successfully but failed to start.
The error is: Error: Error Domain=VZErrorDomain Code=1 Description="Internal Virtualization error. The virtual machine failed to start." UserInfo={
NSLocalizedFailure = "Internal Virtualization error.";
NSLocalizedFailureReason = "The virtual machine failed to start.";
My new Mac laptop with the latest OS version: 15.3.1 and it is Apple M4 chip.
I verified that my Virtualization.framework is good by ls -l /System/Library/Frameworks/Virtualization.framework also my MacOS support virtualization because sysctl kern.hv_support returns kern.hv_support: 1.
I tried to install it on my old Apple laptop which is intel core, same OS version - everything is good.
How to fix this issue?
Has anyone here successfully set up macOS as a globally accessible, multiuser development server using native remote login (SSH) and VS Code Remote?
Ive been working on android studio and have my app put together and was gonna start thr apple process and everything I read says I'll need a Mac to do it. Can someone either point me in the right direction or could I send my code over and someone compile my code for me?

We are considering the development of a new service, We would like to ask for detailed information on the feasibility of the following.
Is it possible to encapsulate only xcframework, such as encapsulating xcframeworkA into xcframeworkB? If the above is possible, will the application incorporating the xcframework in the above state pass the review of apple?
