Reply to Non-US individual developer stuck on Form W-9 with no path to W-8BEN (Paid Applications Agreement)
This is clearly an Apple bug. Have either of you raised a Feedback report? Perhaps if it's raised there someone might see it and fix it? Anyway, as a workaround, you could ask Apple for an address to post a physical form to. If they'll accept a physical form, download it from https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/fw8ben.pdf, print and complete it, then post it to them. If you can afford tracking and/or signature on delivery (ask Apple if they'll sign when they receive mail that requires a signature; some companies won't), pay for it so you know they've received it. I think - can't remember as it was almost 20 years ago - when I set up my dev account for the App Store I had to post the form, so back in 2008 they accepted them.

These are the Developer Forums, where developers of apps for Apple's platforms ask each other for help, and hints and tips on coding. Your question is more of a product support one, so I'd suggest you ask it over at the Apple Support Forums. Thanks.

Reply to MagSafe charging light problem
I have never once been dissatisfied with the light on my MagSafe cables. I personally think you're over-engineering something here. Also, you're coming across as a little bit grumpy just because Apple hasn't already implemented your idea or told you definitively that they're going to implement it. You've been told about the unsolicited idea policy, so read it. You aren't going to be congratulated for anything, or rewarded for it. What are you going to do? Not mark the post as answered until Apple implement your idea? If you came across as less needy and followed the process you might be listened to a bit more.

Reply to Apple Watch Complication with SF Symbols slightly off-center
I had another think about this. How about using .position(x:, y:) to move the image? Just tried this code, and it looks good for AccessoryCircular, AccessoryInline, AccessoryRectangular, Smart Stack Circular and Smart Stack Rectangular, but is slightly off for AccessoryCorner, so again, you'll have to fiddle with the numbers for at least one of the types: GeometryReader { g in ZStack { // I added this circle to show where it is in the view Circle() .foregroundColor(Color.blue) Image(systemName: "circle.dashed") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .foregroundColor(.green) .position(x: g.size.width / 2 + 0.5, y: g.size.height / 2 + 0.5) // The 0.5 is the part that moves it to the right and down a little Text("9/9") .foregroundStyle(.primary) .font(.caption) .fontWeight(.semibold) } .widgetAccentable() }

Yeah, definitely wrong. I've just recreated this myself. You should raise this as a bug at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/ then post the FB number here. I managed to get a normal dashed line to work, but the trade-off is that you have to get the right values for the circle size, or the dash where the line ends will be the wrong length when it hits the part where it started (if that makes sene?). // Looks correct for Accessory Circular: Circle() .stroke(.green, style: StrokeStyle(lineWidth: 10, dash: [12.5, 7.25])) // Looks correct for Accessory Corner: Circle() .stroke(.green, style: StrokeStyle(lineWidth: 7, dash: [11, 6.5])) // Neither of those two looks right for Accessory Rectangular You'll have to play around with the values for the different Accessory types if you decide to go with this option.
