Reply to Using private API
I'm not Apple engineer, but my understanding is that private API may change without notice. Hence, if you use in your app, what worked in an OS version may crash with the next release. That's bad for user and for reputation of iOS / MacOS.

Reply to How To Position Controls With SwiftUI
I personally find that placing precisely objects is a critical limit (or constraint) with SwiftUI. What I do (sometimes with mixed results) is to group objects in separate Views (red-bordered in the image). It makes it easier to position objects (with HStack / VStack) in each view and then position the views. Hope that helps.

Reply to How can you boost app installs and climb the rankings in the Apple App Store?
A basic is to check the materials on the appstore: app ranking, probably one of the most important. Select when you propose ranking (ideally, when user was successful in his task). But don't try to fool the AppStore, that would result in account termination. keywords must be adapted to your target customers and hint at their problem (their major pain points) screenshots to be attractive You may have a look here: https://toolbox.marketingtools.apple.com/en-us/app-store/us and here: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/product-page-optimization/

That's not a question for developers forum, more for assistance on product (as you have filed a bug report already). Post here: https://discussions.apple.com/welcome And please, be kind to edit your text, splitting in several paragraphs to make it readable. Seeing such a compact block of text just discourages to read beyond second line.

Reply to How can a student start learning Apple’s approach to design?
Hard to answer your question. But this speech by Steve Jobs can be very inspiring: https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2005/06/youve-got-find-love-jobs-says Work with passion and go in depth on what you do. Find what you love and love what you do. I would also advise to have interest in arts (Music, painting, sculpture, calligraphy… or maths that I consider as an art) and develop your skills there: arts are a school for learning perfection, especially for design. But don't drop from college. Wish you the best.

You don't show the code, so hard to say. A good series of books can be found on Apple's pathways: https://developer.apple.com/pathways/ There is full section for SwiftUI and much more.

Reply to Guidance on Blocking Screenshots/Screen Recordings in macOS App (Unity 6000.0.51f1)
ensure that any captured content appears blank/black for sensitive sections of the app. Such request has been made on the forum a number of time. But even if there was a way to do it (AFAIK, there is except playing at very low level on video signal), some could take a photo of the screen with an external camera. So you would not protect anything.

Reply to Detection of Unavailable Characters (Tofu Box) in a String
I may be missing something. Wouldn't aString.contains("□") do the job ?

Reply to How to differentiate between user-typed text vs programmatic calls to insertText(_:) in UITextView subclass?
Just an idea, but I didn't try yet. create a Bool stat var userTyped in insert, test for userTyped Each time you set text programmatically, userTyped = false add a modifier to the TextField TextField(/* parameters*/) .onKeyPress(action: {keyPress in userTyped = true }) Please tell if it works.

Reply to Validation failed, despite using RC (17A321) of Xcode 26
My guess is that you have to wait for a few hours until everything is in place. Ink is not dried yet. Message states: So maybe there is an RC2 already in the pipe (that happens sometimes, like 16.3 and thus this RC1 is no more the latest ?

Reply to Delete a version with status "Prepare for submission"
AFAIK, version numbers must be increasing numbers (alphabetical) So not sure you can now create 3.4.71
