I clicked the delete button to an App ID in my developer account and I got a message saying "All certificates associated with the App ID will be deleted and any provisioning profiles associated with this App ID will be invalidated." Why would the entire provisioning profile be invalidated? What about the other App IDs in that provisioning profile? Does that mean I wouldn't be able to use the provisioning profile for those other App IDs at all?

Anyone have any recommendations on how to resize a screen video of an iPhone from 750x1334 to 1080x1920 as required by App Store Connect? Or any alternative solutions?

Anyone ever tested Apple's sample code for SiriKit UnicornChat? How do I figure out what to say to Siri to see if the sample works?

I am having trouble creating a sandbox tester account in App Store. I keep getting an error message saying there are one or more validation errors when I click on "Invite", but there are no indications of any errors. None of the fields are marked with red for an error.What is going on? Is there a limit of the number of sandbox tester accounts I can create? Is anyone else having trouble with this?

When I write code for a timer like below, the timer doesn't fire if the device is locked. How do I cause the code in the timer closure to run when the app is in the background? Are there any other ways to cause specific code to run at a certain time when the app is in the background? func setTimer(alarm: UTIAlarm) { let timer = Timer(fire: alarm.date!, interval: 0, repeats: false) { (timer: Timer) in print("timer fire \(self.dateFormatter.string(from: alarm.date!))") do { try AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true, options: .notifyOthersOnDeactivation) } catch { print("Failed to setActive AVAudioSession from timer closure.") print(error.localizedDescription) } let predicate = MPMediaPropertyPredicate(value: alarm.mediaItem!.title, forProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyTitle) let query = MPMediaQuery() query.addFilterPredicate(predicate) self.playerController!.setQueue(with: query) self.playerController!.play() } runLoop.add(timer, forMode: .default) timers.append(timer) }

In Info.plist of my Xcode project, I see for instance "Executable file" is set to "$(EXECUTABLE_NAME)". I believe that "$(EXECUTABLE_NAME)" is called an environment variable. What I'd like to know is where is that environment variable set. I'd like to see where all the environment variables are set so I can use those values.

How do I copy to file system or play with AVAudioPlayer an MPMediaItem that I get from an MPMediaPickerController initialized with type audio? When I try, I get an error that says:The file “item.mp3” couldn’t be opened because URL type ipod-library isn’t supported.

How would I check for a return key tap on the keyboard when a text view is first responder? So far I think I have to check the text parameter in the shouldChangeTextIn callback method of UITextViewDelegate. How would I check whether text is a return?

I'm getting the following error messages:CoreData: annotation: Failed to load optimized model at path '/var/containers/Bundle/Application/0E3DF5FB-DA57-4A63-98FE-59E2961C6F50/Routes.app/GoogleMaps.bundle/GMSCacheStorage.momd/StorageWithTileProto.omo'2020-01-11 17:19:50.885657-0600 Routes[1913:394464] [error] fault: One or more models in this application are using transformable properties with transformer names that are either unset, or set to NSKeyedUnarchiveFromDataTransformerName.

I signed out of iCloud in the iPhone 8 Simulator, and it has shown the screen saying "Removing iCloud data..." showing that it's working for a few hours now. When it did this before, I shut down the Simulator and when I opened the Simulator again, it shows that it never logged out of iCloud.

I haven't been getting replies to my post. I didn't have this problem with the old system.

Anyone ever use CNFetchResult successfully? I find nothing on the internet, on stackoverflow, and in Apple Developer Forums. The only thing I have found is Apple Documentation for it. It says CNFetchResult is a Generic Class. What exactly does that mean. I found an explanation that gives its definition, but the rest of the explanation is very long winded.

When I use the Contacts Framework with Swift for iOS 15 using Xcode 13, when I use CNContactStore instance method unifiedContacts(matching:keysToFetch:), what happens to those CNContact objects that are not linked with any other CNContact objects, would they be returned as non-unified contacts, or would they be left out since they are non-unified contacts?

I am writing an iOS app using Swift and Xcode 13.1. I am using the Contacts Framework, and I read that each app has a default contacts container, and the default container in an app can be different than the default container in another app, and there is not a default container for the entire device. What determines which is the default container for the app made by an Xcode project? I didn't set the default container for my app and somehow the contacts container for a Google account became the default contacts container for my app. How do I use code to set the default contacts container for my app? How do I find out which is the default container of Apple's Contacts app that comes with iOS? I would like to set my app's default contacts container to the same default container of Apple's Contacts app, if that is the contacts container that is saved on iCloud. If not, I would like to set my app's default contacts container to the contacts container that is saved in iCloud. I assume that only one contacts container is saved on iCloud.

I noticed that when my app changes the contact store, the CNContactStoreDidChange notification fires in my app. How do I check if the notification fired because my app changed it. Is there a way to know which app made the change to the contact store. I need to know so I can write code to run only if the contact store was changed by another app instead of my app.
