Since there were not 1:1 labs available for HealthKit, I’d like to just share to the team continued interest in some feedbacks related to the sleep disturbances API from last year. FB20332832 FB20330679 To make this not just a transfer of feedbacks here is a question. How can you create a sleep disturbance value on the simulator? The Health app allows you to show a sheet to create one, but the values I enter don't seem to be valid and the save button is never functional. FB20979381 - Simulator / HealthKit: The Simulator allows for launching a 'create breathing disturbances' sample but never permits saving

How do you suggest developers help users get their EMRs setup and connected? I don’t want to maintain custom instructions that are potentially os-version and device varying. There isn’t a way to deep link the user directly to that page, but if there was that would help me bring more products online with consuming health records, as well as making that recommendation to the user to connect — which helps all apps. FB9950311 Sorta related is the desire to deep link the user to the manage health settings page. Same thing, don’t want to maintain updating documentation I don’t control. My users need help changing their decisions and ‘go to Apple health’ isn’t great. Do you have any recommendations to Apple support articles or other ways to cleanly and simply educate users on how to manage their choices? FB13683502

I'm heavily involved in making reusable components for specific features, as well as generic ones as part of a design system / component library. Does Apple have any guidance doing this? There is a lot to be learned from the decisions around the 'style' APIs, as well as the overloaded constrained initializers of views like Label. The design system should be opinionated, but allow a degree of flexibility. I liked Sarah's talk about incorporating brand which is certainly important when building components for 10+ apps, internal and external. The focus on purposeful design, but there isn't much at a technical level for designing (coding) reusable components and embracing strategies using the Environment, making custom EnvironmentValues, leveraging built-in system constructs, etc. Any resources and guidance here would be welcomed!

I didn't hear any changes to testing in Swift Packages allowing UI tests. Maybe one day. In the meantime what is your recommendation? I see, and have so far chosen to, add an 'example' project inside the package. This is a full fledged app that integrates the package. My next issue is combining the xcresult file of the unit tests of the package, with the ui tests of the example app using the xcresulttool. I don't think it is meant to combine test results from different runs but I could be wrong. I got it working to combine results across different devices and languages of the same test plan but not different ones.

I was glad to see the Apple provided wallet pass designer app. Unfortunately, it requires macOS 27. Where are the requirements documented, I didn't catch them anywhere. For example, if I upgrade a Neo (non M-series), will it work there too? Is macOS 27 the only requirement to run it?

App Clips serve a useful purpose, a temporary or temporal mini app experience. I'd like to see this come to both unlisted and custom apps. Unlisted, easier argument. Same as public, just not searchable on the store. You need a link for an unlisted app ...... or an app clip code!!! For custom apps, a few use cases might be an internal conference that is short lived, or brief support sessions via a support app. The argument falls down for enterprise owned devices because why not just install everything you'd ever need--but for employee owned devices they can still enroll into an MDM, and we wouldn't want every single app available to be there. An app clip could be provisioned as eligible for that user / device and only there on-demand. FB11723876 - App Store Connect / App Clips: Add support to Unlisted and Custom Apps the ability to work with an App Clip (Oct 2022) Similar to https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/832043 which was asking for just unlisted.

Did Apple add support to any of the ManagedApp features in business console? I didn't see anything in the release announcement earlier this year and haven't seen anything obvious in the UI. According to the dev videos from last year, ManagedApp is the go to framework for developers to expose MDM admins to configurations, passwords, certificates, and more. This seems like a gap. Happy to continue to file feedback for this capability if it wasn't part of this summers announcements.

I haven't yet found documentation that describes the behavior of the group or organization subscriptions at the time of renewal. Here are some examples. For Apple's scenario, a run club, say a coach orders a subscription for 'the team'. The app does seasonal (3 month) and annual (yearly) passes. One could collect group dues outside of the app store and help make the purchase. What happens at time of renewal? Does the person that made the original purchase have to manage that? How do they add or remove subscription users as club members may change? How about refunds? In another scenario, B2B, either education or enterprise. With Apple Business providing a free basic MDM (Business Essentials), I can see a lot more use for this case. The same questions apply. Maybe it is a productivity app for students or employees. The video described there being 'seats' that one could assign in Apple Business the say way that apps are assigned (and removed). What happens at the time of renewal? How about refunds? The video teased that management will be available in the future. To determine how 'seamless' the experience is, or to provide feedback, it would be good to even get some still screenshots of what this will look like. Choosing to go individual subscription vs group/org heavily depends on how much work it is removing from the individual consumer (and moving to a single or few administrators). When will some visuals of the 'group' management experience be available? For club scenarios, often the 'lead' or 'coach' is volunteer. Someone might leave for a season, the head coach might change, or groups want to have several admins that can manage the group for convenience to club members, and backup for those admins. Does the 'group' subscription support co-managers? To put it another way, can you have two or more coaches that can manage the group seats? Will there be a way to manage the managers of the group? What resources aside from the Device Management and new Subscriptions talks are relevant to this topic? Sorry the questions are 1-10 in the preview, but forums rendering is renumbering :)

It may be documented in materials I haven't discovered yet but, how does the subscription payout work with more than one developer account? I assume you can specify the percentage and Apple splits it across the developers, but I haven't found any docs yet. To the same thought of Apple managing sending the funs to different companies, is it possible to have an app bundle by the same developer and have more than one bank account to distribute the funds? For business reasons, if App 1 and App 2 from the same developer want to have different finances and different bank accounts for subscription revenue, is that possible? The same concept above of 'split the payout' would apply.

Apple has provided a number of Swift Packages for backend development, including some new tools for wallet passes! Is there anything like this for attestation and device check capabilities for a swift-on-server product to consume? If not, consider this a placeholder for a future feedback request.

I forget which extension type it is, but there is one that can discover the devices in a sandbox. Xcode 26 shows me Media Device Discovery, Xcode 27 doesn't. It could be a different one. Which ever one it is, do you know off hand if the new StateReporting framework would report performance and usage privately to MetricKit? I know that some frameworks report data to Apple's analytics reports, I'd potentially want to capture some performance metrics and app state changes that are happening in supporting extensions.

I just caught the video for group and organization subscriptions. I haven't yet found documentation that describes how renewals work for the auto-renewable subscriptions when bought for a group. To reuse the video example of a run club, a coach might get a bulk of subscriptions for the team, for that season (or year). The next year might have a different number of club members, a mix of both new members, as well as some lapsed ones. The MDM portion talks about seat assignment so I think that would cover it for organizations, but what about groups?

Can you share the reasons why the new payment model for subscriptions is not supported in the US? Maybe this is coming in the future but not announced yet. I didn't see anything in the StoreKit announcements saying it was extended but that doesn't mean I didn't miss something.

What would you recommend to teams that want to act as both a central and peripheral role? I want to use the ASK permission model for Central mode, but doing so I can't build connections to Apple Watch and Apple Vision Pro that don't support peripheral mode forcing the iPhone to do that.

I have a lab, scheduled right now actually, that Webex is asking me for a password. I emailed wwdc @ apple.com hoping to hear back but it just generated a Case ID for me. I was curious, is anyone else can't join their labs because Webex is prompting for a meeting password?
