My app is on the App Store. Now I would like to publish a "lite" version of my app. Its name could be something like "MyApp lite", it has only a reduced set of features. I think it would be accepted on the reviewal process because it is not unusual that two similar apps are in the App Stores, one having just the main features and the other being complete. Let's say they are identified by com.myappdomain.app and com.myappdomain.app.lite 1-Is it possible to publish such a "lite" app along the main one (different pricing or business model)? 2-Can its name be like "MyApp lite" (or similar wording)? 3-Can they have the same app icon? 4-Can they be installed at the same time on a device? 5-The two apps are compatible with a special data type, importing, exporting, and launching with files with a special registered file extension. This is from the info.plist <key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key> ... <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>com.myappdomain.mydatatype</string> <key>NSUbiquitousDocumentUserActivityType</key> <string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER).mydatatype</string> ... <key>UTExportedTypeDeclarations</key> ... <key>UTImportedTypeDeclarations</key> ... <key>CFBundleDocumentTypes</key> ... <key>CFBundleTypeName</key> <string>com.myappdomain.mydatatype</string> <key>NSUbiquitousDocumentUserActivityType</key> <string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER).mydatatype</string> ... I changed the bundle identifier in certain places for the new project (the original code, stripped of many features) but I see that there is also $(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER).mydatatype for NSUbiquitousDocumentUserActivityType that changes for the two apps, while the other plist settings are the same. Is it right? Should the two apps have the same NSUbiquitousDocumentUserActivityType value instead? Thanks in advance

I would like to know if a function is available in Swift or Objective-C for an iOS 14+ application to retrieve the very first installation date of the app from the App Store on any device. It would be useful for me to grant full access to the app features in the case I introduce the freemium model for my app. I asked aboout this change here Free app introducing in-app purchase for some features I want to grant the full functionality to users that installed the free version as I pointed out in a further comment, but no one answered. I do not know if this is possible without App Store server interrogation, I mean with just an information that is on the device registry because the app is installed, and refers to the first installation ever, not on this device alone, and not being lost with factory reset procedure or similar. Alternately another useful information would be the most ancient app version or build number that the user got from the App Store ever. Some suggest to deploy an intermediate version that stores the app version or build number in some persistent user data location. Thanks

I am creating the images for my app product page in the App Store. I see that there are screenshot specifications to follow, that seem to be reasonable. Indeed they have the resolution of the screen of the iOS devices. I would like to understand what scenarios are possible: 1- artwork images has to be created that have the right size for the devices displaying them on their App Store, and they can also contain an area depicting a device running my app (for example, rotated and surrounded by a nice background and some text) 2- a simple screenshot of the app Many tutorials show that kind of images of scenario 1. But the "screenshot" size requirements clearly refer to the device screen size, for a screenshot. Every response is appreciated. Thanks

Hello, I need to understand if this is feasible. I need to open a local HTML file placed in the temporary folder of an iOS Swift app in Safari, from the app itself. At present time I know it is possible to open an Url in Safari, but I am asking about 1- using the file:/// scheme (like Android does) 2- providing directly the HTML text I have this specific need not to use the WKWebView because I want that the user can exploit features like saving credentials, caching and so on. I do not know if the WKWebView is able to provide this kind of features, and I do not want to have this kind of features directly in my app for security concerns. Also other workarounds or solutions are welcome. Thanks in advance

I found this link https://forums.developer.apple.com/community/distribution/testflight In another thread about finding TestFlight codes. The link above is not going to help me to find that forum, it does not exist. I am looking for some eager people to preview my app. I can invite a certain number of people to test or just preview my app (please have a look at https://app.airport.community/app/recvJ7w97YTBKvv64 to contact me) Otherwise, where is the TestFlight forum?
