Tips on making the iPhone Duo simulator run smooth?
Heya! I'm preparing my apps for the iPhone Duo, but having a hard time with the Simulator for it. Basically it's very very slow, crashes often (not speaking about my app but the device hub tool freezes or crashes). Restarting it often helps to kinda "cleanup" when it starts feeling like deep mud when using it, but it would not make it smooth just less deep mud feeling. I am running it on an M1, so that would probably be a good reason for it going this slow. However, any tips to make it run better? Things, settings I can toggle on and off?

NavigationSplitView to go from 3 columns to 1 detailview and back?
Heya, Been struggling with getting a 3 column NavigationSplitView hide both the Sidebar and Content column to only show the Detail view and back to 3 columns in the same window. Basically applying the hide sidebar when pressing the toggle to both the sidebar and the content view. On iOS I could use .displaydetail but on macOs it seems impossible to do as one or the other shows up. I was able to force it to a width of 0 but that gives other issues such as the need to disable the animates otherwise things start flying. Any ideas on how to solve this? ideally we would have something as a double sidebar or a split view that does not extend that nav to all columns as thats a pain to deal with.

Can a notes app float content via AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer PiP, or will it get rejected?
Hey, I’m working on a notes app and thinking about letting people keep a note visible with Picture-in-Picture while they use other apps. For example, floating a todo list while shopping with Safari or scrolling socials... It would only start if they tap something like “Float Note”, never automatic. They can stop it anytime. Would be using the usual public PiP APIs (AVPictureInPictureController + AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer), similar to some existing note/PiP apps already on the Store. Would App Review be okay with that as an optional, user-started feature in a notes app? Thanks.

Opening specific Accessibility settings with a deeplink?
Heya! is there anyway to allow a user to open an accessibility setting from an iOS app? As currently you kinda have to explain how to enable it on your device and honestly thats kinda completely against how accessibility ux should work as it as it requires and expects a user to read+understand something they might as well can't because of accessibility issues in the first place and thus basically punishing a user for it. I tested this with some users and asking them to go trough 3-5 menu's with overwhelming settings is to complex and most give up, thus directing them would solve that problem.

Does changing the name extend the review time?
Heya, I recently submitted two app updates for two apps, one got reviewed within the hour. The other is waiting for 5 days. The second one is more complex, but also changed the name (core name stayed the same, just added some text) and description, does that effect the que or review? As it's kinda weird that one takes 1h and the other is still waiting while both are submitted within 6h of each other.
