I have an app that uses the ImageCaptureCore's ICDeviceBrowser to find and connect to external digital cameras. Prior to iOS 18 this worked just fine, the device browser would start up and find any cameras connected via USB. However since the update the device browser fails to ever detect any connected device or to trigger any delegate events at all after browser start. I noticed that the Contents authorization in iOS 18 is undetermined, where in previous iOS versions it would default to authorized. I tried to resolve this by requesting authorization, however this immediately returns denied without ever having prompted the app user for permission. I do have the Camera Privacy Usage description setup, and also am able to request permission for the iOS camera successfully. How can I successfully request contents authorization via ICC or otherwise? Or are there alternative Apple libraries I can use for finding and connecting to external digital cameras on iOS?

I want to install a custom iOS app (distributed via Apple Business Manager) on MacOS devices. I've confirmed that the app can run on MacOS via an ad-hoc distribution, however I can't figure out how to get it from ABM to a Mac device. I am able to distribute the app to iOS devices via a MDM and/or redemption codes (from ABM), however the codes don't work for Mac devices and I don't necessarily want to register the Mac devices with an MDM in order to install the app. I get the following error from the AppStore when attempting to install the app with a redemption code on MacOS Ventura: This code must be redeemed in the App Store found on devices and within iTunes
