Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. And yes, the purchase of the metadata will make a significant difference in the appearance and functionality of my app. But until I hear something "official", I feel like I'm just guessing. Everyone's app is different and who is to say what is appropriate for a screenshot? Would someone from Apple like to chime in here and clear up the matter?

Thanks again, endecotp. I really did appreciate your answer and hope I didn't seem ungrateful. I think you are right and I might as well proceed with taking screenshots using my best judgement. I've already put the issue to Developer Support and they were really helpful, but weren't able to give me a definitive answer about what is expected when the "item or service" is a json file. To be fair, it was over the holiday weekend when they are not fully staffed. My support staffer did commit to using my case as a form of feedback to the App Review teams. Hopefully this will result in Apple making it more clear what they want to see in these screenshots. We also agreed that the Developer Forums would be a good alternative and I was pretty thrilled to get an answer here within 1 hour. So I'll take your advice and not waste time waiting for Apple to "chime in" here. Again, many thanks!

Xcode 16 seems to have broken some things with regard to SKConfiguration file syncing. I have been unable to get mine to sync at all since the upgrade.

Thanks. Me too.

I thought I should supply a code sample to make my question more clear. I misspoke earlier, I'm showing the detail view from a UICollectionView. My detailVC just displays a piece of sheet music as a PDF. Any help would be appreciated. func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, didSelectItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) { guard let tuneID = self.dataSource.itemIdentifier(for: indexPath), let tune = try? self.dataController.mainContext?.existingObject(with: tuneID) as? Tune else { return } collectionView.deselectItem(at: indexPath, animated: true) guard let detailNC = TuneDetailVC.tuneDetailViewController(dataController: dataController), let detailVC = detailNC.topViewController as? TuneDetailVC else { return } detailVC.tune = tune splitViewController?.showDetailViewController(detailNC, sender: self) if splitViewController?.displayMode == .twoBesideSecondary { // Note: This should only occur in landscape on iPad. DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 0.25) { [weak self] in // Use 'hide' instead of settint 'preferredDisplayMode' for a smoother transition. self?.splitViewController?.hide(.primary) } } }
