Hello, In the calendar app people can subscribe to calendars from the web and have the events in the calendar, but can my Xcode app generate a local url with an ical file that can be subscribed to? Just for the user on the device with the app, not on the internet? For example my app when run creates an ical file of events that repeat each year, like international days of the year and puts it somewhere like in the group folder or somewhere behind the scenes and then the user can click that link from within the app or copy and past it into the calendar app by adding a new calendar and putting in the url? I don't want to put the url online because the information is private and just for the user of the device.

When I setup Share extension or Action extension on iOS to import a Vcard into my app it works great but when running the app on Mac catalyst I'm left with a Vcard at the bottom of my screen and I can't close it or do anything, deleting the app and reinstalling doesn't even fix it, I'm going to have to format my computer. How do I deal with these? the just keep building up, How do I make sure my app doesn't do this? How do I close the ones that are open, I'm stuck. Theres a few things I tried. The .plist option to 'Supports Document Browser' is set to 'No' 'Supports opening documents in place' has to be se to 'Yes' or not included for a Mac Catalyst app or I get this error - error: 'LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace = NO' is not supported on macOS. Either remove the entry or set it to YES, and also ensure that the application does open documents in place on macOS. What I'm thinking is I did not ensure that the app did not open a document in place? Now I have no idea how to undo what I've done. Its just stuck there, attached to my app somehow. I tried deleting the app and all the files associated to the app I could find, but its still there. How do I prevent this from happening but still get all the card info into my app. it does work to populate the card info into my app, its just this thing here is not closing or I don't want that to happen, that's probably what the error is warning me about.

Ive added App Group entitlements to my Watch target and Watch Widget target to hopefully create a container both the CoreData for the Watch app and the Widget can draw from. I put the CoreData object in there for hopefully both the Watch App and WatchOS 9 widget to access. let containerURL = FileManager.default.containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: "group.com.my-company.my-app")! let storeURL = containerURL.appendingPathComponent("DataModel.sqlite") let description = NSPersistentStoreDescription(url: storeURL) let container = NSPersistentContainer(name: "DataModel") container.persistentStoreDescriptions = [description] container.loadPersistentStores { ... } Following posts in StackExchange Its been working for iOS App and Widget. It works wonderfully for iOS apps and their widgets. Would this be identical for WatchOS apps and Widgets? However when I use the same implementation for WatchOS and Watch widgets it fails to fetch the data giving an error : WidgetsExtension[75018:10584043] [error] error: No NSEntityDescriptions in any model claim the NSManagedObject subclass 'MyContactCard' so +entity is confused.  Have you loaded your NSManagedObjectModel yet ? 'executeFetchRequest:error: A fetch request must have an entity.' The exact same widget files works on iOS. EDIT: IT STARTED WORKING after I posted this. My have just been an error with the Core data models or something. Just leave this here so others can know that it does work same as iOS widgets

I am having a lot of trouble with this. My idea was going to be to put a switch in the setting page of my app so user can choose if they want sensitive information redacted or not. Some people may want to hide their appointment on the Lock Screen, others may not. .redacted(reason: .placeholder) works fine when I add it to an element. but the .privacy reason docent seam to work. If I add the capability to the target 'Data Protection' every thing on the widget gets redacted, unless I mark elements with .unredacted() But to have to do that for everything is too difficult. My thinking around how it worked was to add the modifier, redacted(reason: .privacy) to an element like a Text view or an image and if the device is locked that will be redacted. I must not have the same thinking as Apple on this process.

hello, Im struggling with the Minimum deployments section in Xcode 14 for the Target of my iOS and Mac Catalyst app. Its a bit different from what I'm used, previously I could look at the values in a drop down box. That values I would like to set are iOS 12.4 and MacOS 11.0. What is macOS 14.2 ? it that a catalyst number, What macOS is that? Nevermind I found this - macCatalyst 13.0 = macOS 10.15 macCatalyst 13.4 = macOS 10.15.4 macCatalyst 14.0 = macOS 11.0 macCatalyst 14.7 = macOS 11.6 macCatalyst 15.0 = macOS 12.0 macCatalyst 15.3 = macOS 12.2 and 12.2.1 macCatalyst 15.4 = macOS 12.3 macCatalyst 15.5 = macOS 12.4 macCatalyst 15.6 = macOS 12.5 How do I delete a question?

Im having trouble requesting access to save a new contact as of today with updating to Ventura 13.0 (22A380). Im requesting access to contacts using @IBAction func requestConactsAccess() {         CNContactStore().requestAccess(for: .contacts) { granted, error in             if granted {                 // Yes                 print("Granted")                 self.authStatusLabel.text = "Granted"             } else {                 // No                 print("Denied")                 self.authStatusLabel.text = "denied"             }         }     } But it is just being automatically denied. I can't save a contact either with an app that previously had permission. I created a small app to test this from scratch using the documentation "Working with the user’s contacts" https://developer.apple.com/documentation/contacts?language=objc I have been doing this since the first version of the app, Ive never had an issue Has something changed with regards to Requesting access to contacts in latest OS? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/contacts/requesting_authorization_to_access_contacts Thank you.

Hello, App review team rejected my app update under guideline 2.1 - Information needed. Asking me : " To help us proceed with the review of your app, please provide detailed information to the following questions. The more information you can provide upfront, the sooner we can complete your review. – Does your app include any Siri Shortcuts features? – If so, where can we locate Siri Shortcuts in your app? " Ive replied letting them where to find the Siri shortcut in my app. Has anyone else been asked this question? Sometimes it feel like they reject my app for the weirdest reasons. It would be nice if they had a yellow icon for an Enquiry, Getting the RED REJECTED letter in the email makes my heart stop.

Hello, Im using a coredata to populate a list. When I add a new object the list dissent update until close the app and open it again. But this only started happening after I started using a predicate in the fetch request, Taking the Predicate out makes it work again. I tried everything else. This is the only thing that is causing it. Has anyone else experienced this? @FetchRequest( sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor(key: "sobrietyDate_month", ascending: true),NSSortDescriptor(key: "sobrietyDate_day", ascending: true),NSSortDescriptor(key: "first_name", ascending: true)], predicate: NSPredicate(format: "isVisible == %@", "1") ) var allContacts: FetchedResults<User> if I take the predicate out it starts updating again. I tried this with Apple standard out of the box CoreData project, by adding a new object to core data as a bool then @FetchRequest(         sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor(keyPath: \Item.timestamp, ascending: true)],         predicate: NSPredicate(format: "isVisible == %@", "1"),         animation: .default)     private var items: FetchedResults<Item> Same thing happens, Won't update live until the app is closed. Any ideas Thanks

Hello, Ive had some feedback from a customer asking that when he uses my app to start the mindfulness focus. Ive tried this on iPhone and setup the mindfulness focus to start when my app is open and that works fine, however this is not mirrored on my Apple Watch where the app is used. Upon opening the Apple Watch app the focus does not turn on. How can I get this working? Thank you.

Ive got a little animation on the first screen on my watchOS app, but in watchOS 10.1 it's not showing up. It docent work. I can't use the simulator to find out why because I haven't got watchOS 10.1 simulator. - here is the code that works on watch OS 10 func updatCurrentProgress() { print("updatCurrentProgress") withAnimation(.interpolatingSpring(duration: 1.2, bounce: 0.0, initialVelocity: 0.0).delay(0.5)) { currentProgress = tiyowehSession.currentDayGoalComplete } completion: { if customGoalValue > 0 && UserDefaults.standard.double(forKey: "currentDayGoalComplete") < 1.0 && tiyowehSession.currentDayGoalComplete >= 1.0 { WKInterfaceDevice.current().play(.notification) print("playing .success)") goalProgressViewOpasity = 0.0 goalCompleteTickOpasity = 1.0 withAnimation(.easeOut(duration: 2.0).delay(1.2)) { goalCompleteTickOpasity = 0.0 goalProgressViewOpasity = 1.0 } } UserDefaults.standard.set(currentProgress, forKey: "currentDayGoalComplete") } } . The sound plays correctly "WKInterfaceDevice.current().play(.notification)" but the opacity docent change like it used to.
