In this documentation for completeRequest(returningItems:completionHandler:), there is a box shaded yellow that says: Important If the system calls your block with an expired value of true, you must immediately suspend your app extension. If you fail to do this, the system terminates your extension’s process. How does my app or my Share Extension know when the system calls the block spoken of?

If I have a class property let appDelegate: AppDelegate? = UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate Each time appDelegate is accessed, would it return the value at the time it is accessed, or would it return the value the first time it was accessed? I'm trying to understand whether the property above works the same way as let appDelegate: AppDelegate? = { return UIApplication.shared.delegate as? AppDelegate }() The second declaration of the appDelegate property runs the closure the first time the property is accessed and never again. Later references to appDelegate returns the value that was returned the first time the property was accessed.

I ran out of disk space and I think I've come to the point that I need to delete files used by Xcode. Can I delete Simulator altogether? It doesn't look like I can run the latest Xcode without iOS 18 installed with it on my Mac Pro. Is there any way I can exclude iOS 18 support using the current Xcode? Would it be a good option to uninstall the latest Xcode and use a previous version of Xcode instead, since I'm not developing for iOS 18? Since I've been working on only macOS apps, is it possible for me to delete anything that has to do with developing for iOS?

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?

I have a question about code in the ShapeEdit sample from Apple.I their code, as shown below, why did they use FileManager's copyItem method instead of its setUbiquitous method? Didn't the documentation say explicitly to use setUbiquitous method? NSFileCoordinator().coordinate(with: [readIntent, writeIntent], queue: self.coordinationQueue) { error in if error != nil { return } do { try fileManager.copyItem(at: readIntent.url, to: writeIntent.url) try (writeIntent.url as NSURL).setResourceValue(true, forKey: URLResourceKey.hasHiddenExtensionKey) OperationQueue.main.addOperation { self.openDocumentAtURL(writeIntent.url) } } catch { fatalError("Unexpected error during trivial file operations: \(error)") } }

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.

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.

On Apple's documentation of the Contacts Framework for iOS and Swift on their developer website, there is a section called Change History Data. It consists of a list of classes and one protocol. The protocol seems to be the most important item of the list - the CNChangeHistoryEventVisitor protocol. The protocol apparently has instance methods each of which use one of those classes listed. Where do I find documentation to use this protocol and these classes? Anyone ever use these before? Here's the list: class CNChangeHistoryAddContactEvent class CNChangeHistoryAddGroupEvent class CNChangeHistoryAddMemberToGroupEvent class CNChangeHistoryAddSubgroupToGroupEvent class CNChangeHistoryDeleteContactEvent class CNChangeHistoryDeleteGroupEvent class CNChangeHistoryDropEverythingEvent class CNChangeHistoryEvent class CNChangeHistoryFetchRequest class CNChangeHistoryRemoveMemberFromGroupEvent class CNChangeHistoryRemoveSubgroupFromGroupEvent class CNChangeHistoryUpdateContactEvent class CNChangeHistoryUpdateGroupEvent protocol CNChangeHistoryEventVisitor

For some reason, my Xcode project won't run. I tried clicking on the run button, and I tried clicking on the Run option in the Product Menu. I also clicked on the Clean build folder under the Product menu.

Recently, the items in Project navigator of all my projects show as black instead of in color like before. What's causing this. I also noticed other changes when I create a new iOS app project.

My DerivedData folder is supposed to be in Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData. Why is it not there. Is there a setting in Finder that is hiding files from me? Did my Xcode get installed with folders in a different location than usual?

How do I turn on that setting in Xcode that allows me to see how the beginning of a loop or if statement lines up with the ending of the loop as far as the number of tabs or the distance from the left border of the code editor. I have seen this on by default before. I don't know what it's called, so I don't know hot to search for it in Xcode help or on the internet or on forums.

In the context of OperationQueue, specifically in the documentation for the waitUntilAllOperationsAreFinished(), addOperation(Operation), and addOperation(()-Void) functions, what does "receiver" refer to? Does it refer to the instance of OperationQueue that calls the function?
