Trying to print NSAttributedString via many UITextViews causes crash
My Mac app uses many NSTextViews just fine for printing a long string, but trying to do the same on iOS with many UITextViews and associated UIViewPrintFormatters just causes a crash.*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '*** -[__NSArrayM objectAtIndex:]: index 1 beyond bounds [0 .. 0]' *** First throw call stack: ( 0 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff23c7127e __exceptionPreprocess + 350 1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x00007fff513fbb20 objc_exception_throw + 48 2 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff23d03ab1 _CFThrowFormattedException + 194 3 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff23b83bf9 -[__NSArrayM objectAtIndex:] + 169 4 UIKitCore 0x00007fff48029503 -[UITextViewPrintFormatter rectForPageAtIndex:] + 86 5 UIKitCore 0x00007fff4806bc79 __57-[UIPrintPageRenderer drawPrintFormatter:forPageAtIndex:]_block_invoke + 41 6 UIKitCore 0x00007fff4806bcf9 __57-[UIPrintPageRenderer drawPrintFormatter:forPageAtIndex:]_block_invoke.43 + 29 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000010e4f6d48 _dispatch_client_callout + 8 8 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000010e505b24 _dispatch_async_and_wait_invoke + 175 9 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000010e4f6d48 _dispatch_client_callout + 8 10 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000010e504de6 _dispatch_main_queue_callback_4CF + 1500 11 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff23bd4049 __CFRUNLOOP_IS_SERVICING_THE_MAIN_DISPATCH_QUEUE__ + 9 12 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff23bceca9 __CFRunLoopRun + 2329 13 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff23bce066 CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 438 14 GraphicsServices 0x00007fff384c0bb0 GSEventRunModal + 65 15 UIKitCore 0x00007fff48092d4d UIApplicationMain + 1621 16 myApp 0x000000010e1ca61b main + 75 17 libdyld.dylib 0x00007fff5227ec25 start + 1 18 ??? 0x0000000000000001 0x0 + 1 )Here's the code:class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) { let printController = UIPrintInteractionController.shared let printPageRenderer = PrintPageRenderer() printController.printPageRenderer = printPageRenderer printController.present(animated: true) } } class PrintPageRenderer: UIPrintPageRenderer { let layoutManager = NSLayoutManager() let textStorage = NSTextStorage(string: "fhdjksalhfj dskla fjf") var textViews = [UITextView]() override func prepare(forDrawingPages range: NSRange) { DispatchQueue.main.sync { for (i, textView) in textViews.enumerated() { let printFormatter = textView.viewPrintFormatter() addPrintFormatter(printFormatter, startingAtPageAt: i) } } } override var numberOfPages: Int { textStorage.addLayoutManager(layoutManager) let size = CGFloat(50) for _ in 0..<2 { let textContainer = NSTextContainer(size: CGSize(width: size, height: size)) layoutManager.addTextContainer(textContainer) let textView = UITextView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size, height: size), textContainer: textContainer) textViews.append(textView) } return textViews.count } }My goal is printing a document from an attributed string and showing a custom header and footer on each page.

No email notification for answers to own posts
It's been known for at least 4 months that there is no email notification for answers to own posts, like an Apple engineer confirmed here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/656787?login=true Why does it take so long to fix a basic issue like this? How long will we have to check daily for new answers without being able to count on a simple notification?

How to disable weekly "We are interested in investigating your feedback" reminders
Since a year or so I get frequent email reminders for feedbacks to which Apple answered and to which I still didn't reply. The interval between Apple's answer and the automatic reminder can be as small as 5 days and are repeated weekly until I respond to them. There is apparently no way of disabling them. How can it be that I have to respond within 5 days and Apple can take up to 8 years (the longest I've waited for a response for now)? I've already reported this several times but to no avail. I would also like to be able to send weekly reminders to Apple for not responding to pressing issues, but unfortunately that's not possible and this comes across as being quite arrogant.

Resolve bookmark created in iOS app in Share Extension
I create a URL bookmark with URL.bookmarkData(options: [], includingResourceValuesForKeys: [.localizedNameKey]) and resolve it with NSURL(resolvingBookmarkData: bookmarkData, options: [], relativeTo: nil, bookmarkDataIsStale: nil) asURL. This works fine within my main app, but when sharing the bookmarkData via an App Group with my Share Extension, it gives the error "The file couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it.". Is there any way I can do this?

"Frame for "View" will be different at runtime" keeps reappearing with always different frame
For a couple of years now Xcode has been showing many similar warnings when opening a storyboard file. I have opened FB8245368 more than a year ago without response. If there is a way of solving these warnings inside the storyboard without adding artificial constraints that are removed at build time? Open the project at https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0bNxa2_8jNRVFbpKsTyrB5yMg#problem Select that warning, then click Update Frames at the bottom right of the canvas. You can keep pressing the button until the view is entirely collapsed.

How to download and install old macOS versions
I haven‘t yet found an official Apple website that lists older macOS versions. Fortunately, I have kept the installers on a separate external storage after each major upgrade, but when launching them from a macOS version newer that the installer itself, macOS shows an error that it‘s not possible to install it. What is the official way of installing older macOS versions so that I can test my App Store apps?

Setting UITextView text color after text change causes caret rect to jump up and down
It seems that when typing inside a textview that has insets and padding, the caret keeps jumping up and down on most keystrokes. Is there a solution to this? class ViewController: UIViewController, UITextViewDelegate {     @IBOutlet weak var textView: TextView!     override func viewDidLayoutSubviews() {         let h = textView.bounds.size.height / 2         textView.textContainerInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: h, left: 0, bottom: h, right: 0)         textView.textContainer.lineFragmentPadding = 200     }     func textViewDidChange(_ textView: UITextView) {         textView.textStorage.addAttribute(.foregroundColor, value: UIColor.red, range: NSRange(location: 0, length: 1))     } } class TextView: UITextView {     override func caretRect(for position: UITextPosition) -> CGRect {         let r = super.caretRect(for: position)         print(r)         return r     } } A complete project can be found here: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0yEBQZPUCZQH1o3HiL8_6q_gQ#problem_copia

Xcode thinks iPad is not connected when deploying
Every now and then (say at least once a week, but possibly many times within a day) when I try to deploy to my iPad Xcode shows a sheet reading "iPad is not connected", even if it was working a minute earlier. I have reported this already several months ago, but apparently there is no fix for this yet. Usually, restarting Mac and/or iPad solves the issue, but it's really annoying when I have to do this repeatedly. Is there an easier workaround?

Why does Apple not mark solved bugs as solved?
I keep noticing that some bugs that I reported or features that I suggested have been corrected or added to the latest OS. For one of these I replied asking why I wasn't notified and never got an answer. Isn't Apple interested in closing as many feedbacks as possible? Now I cannot even say that perhaps I formulated them in such a way that they don't understand, because they don't seem to reply altogether.

Xcode projects do not build anymore after uploading them to Feedback Assistant
For many months now, projects that I download from most of the feedbacks I submit don't build anymore: some settings in the Xcode project get changed for some reason at some stage so that the directory structure is wrong. The top level folder named after the project is highlighted in red and the only compiler error is about the missing entitlements file, even though all the files are in the project folder. I already reported this months ago but this is still happening. What's the problem and why is there no solution to this yet?

AVPlayer.timeControlStatus and AVPlayer.rate are wrong during fast forward or backward
It seems that timeControlStatus == .paused and rate == 0 when the video is being played fast forward or backward. Is this really how it's supposed to be? If yes, is there a way of knowing if the video is effectively paused?
