Reply to Shocked by Apple Developer Program Experience – Account Banned Without Explanation
Whilst the Review Team may not always provide "actionable feedback", I doubt they're out to stop apps being released the App Store. That wouldn't make any sense. More likely is that there is a real reason why your apps were rejected, and perhaps, in your frustration, you got a little heated and had a go at them? That's probably why you were banned? What reasons did they actually provide for the rejections? You can copy & paste them here if you like.

Reply to Question on Developer Membership?
You don't even need a membership to develop apps; you only need it when you're going to release an app or make use of various resources, so you could start developing the app now and use a versioning system like Git to collaborate. Then, when you're ready, you can start one membership, and just have multiple team members.

Reply to Content blocker not removing content
Is no one writing content blocker rules anymore? Anyone at Apple know how to handle this? You guys wrote the content blocker framework; you must have examples of how to use it? This page: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/creating-a-content-blocker only has one example, and doesn't cover much at all. Searching the internet seems to just return info on how the various adblocker apps work - including using their own internal methods (-abp-has(> div > img.advert) etc.), which Safari cannot use. If we cannot select elements by the text they contain, then content blockers in Safari are severely hampered. What if I don't want to see news stories about football? Unless the alt tag of an img has the word 'football' in it, I can't block it, and I can't block something as simple as this: <a href="/pages/sport/thebiggame/">Football</a>.

Reply to Is it possible to get the phone number from the device?
I don't believe so, no. Imagine if you could do that. Any app could grab your phone number without you knowing. It would be a privacy nightmare. If you have a genuine requirement to have the user's phone number then you must provide a valid reason for asking them for it, and provide a means for them to enter it and send it to you, and you must ensure it is encrypted at all times and stored appropriately according to GDPR and related legislation. If you don't have a valid reason, then don't develop an app that tries to steal it.

Reply to Compile apple
I doubt anyone will want to compile your code for you. It's not a simple matter of just compiling your code. The project will need setting up properly, there will need to be an Apple Developer account etc. Yes, you need a Mac. But hey, if you get one, you'll love it!

Reply to cannot find in scope
Claude31 gave you a COMPLETE solution to your problems. You should take that entire set of code and replace your code with that. What I suspect you have done is copied and pasted bits of it from these pages into your Xcode and have missed bits out - that would certainly explain why your GridRow parts failed, because you didn't see the GeometryReader that was added in further up. it is extremely difficult to help you when we give you the solution and you hack it about and don't follow what we've given you or told you to do. We cannot help you if you cannot do the simplest of things. If g.size can't be found when you paste some code into your Xcode you should look for where g was declared. If you can't do that, then you need to read a more basic tutorial on coding.

Reply to Error creating the CFMessagePort needed to communicate with PPT. Error
I get this in Xcode 16.2 in my apps for iOS 18.2. PPT is the Performance Power Tools, but I think this is an internal error from the frameworks, and not something you're doing, as you can get this from a completely new project in Xcode.

Reply to Copyright problem
Ask the companies if you can use their logos, then submit that proof to Apple. If they refuse you the right to use their logos, then just don't use their logos. Write "Pepsi" if there's no logo. People will know it's Pepsi.

Reply to Rejected App Review
Does your app REQUIRE a user's address, gender and phone number? If not, don't ask for it, don't collect it. The message explicitly says what you need to do.

Reply to Variable modification in forEach
This is inside a View, right? I believe your error is with the $ signs before individus and individu. It looks like you're trying to pass a Binding var, but that's not what you do in this situation.

What's "AutoPay"? Do you mean how do you cancel auto-renewal? Easy: Log into developer.apple.com. Click Account in the top. Click the Membership details card. Flick the "Auto-renew" switch to off.

Reply to Rear View Camera Installed – Now CarPlay Audio Stops After 15 Seconds via Bluetooth
These are the Developer Forums, where developers of apps for Apple's platforms ask each other for 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.
