I can attest this is the same in 2025. I had released a 1.0 then a 2.0 of the app, then a trademark issue came up with the app name. Given that the bundle identifier used the app name in it, I decided given the low volume of paid customers that I would change the bundle identifier also. You may ask, why bother since the bundle identifier is not seen by anyone? However when you use the Share button within the app store after you go to your app, the URL that is created includes both the bundle identifier and the Apple ID created for your app. There is a URL that only includes the Apple ID for the app for purposes of posting a link to the app store app, however the default Share link that any user could use to share the app to someone else does include the bundle identifier in the URL. One other note. I was trying to get the new app approved by Apple Review team before taking down the old app, and they rejected the new app during review using the SPAM reason for rejection. After I removed the old app (which is a two step process - remove app from sales world wide (if paid), and remove app from store), I resubmitted for review and was approved, then released new app. I did try to see if Apple had a way to keep the same Apple ID for the app, and just change the bundle identifier but that does not seem, sadly, to be the case. They should and could probably fix that but...

just to clarify, this widely discussed problem is not related to encryption, certs, nor VPN, although other mail issues may be reported This problem is about broken sync of mailbox in iOS 18 mail with IMAP.

So if I deleted my IMAP mail account on the iPhone, quit Mail app, then re-add the IMAP mail account. I get the current set of mail. Thereafter, I don't. I've tested with both Push and Fetch and it doesn't seem to make any difference. It defaults on my account to Push which should be accurate since I have Push Notifications setup on that old macOS Mail server with a valid certificate.

I have no private relay enabled. iPadOS Mail client continues to work just fine and is running 17.x...my macOS is at Sequoia 15.1.1 and I'm planning to hold off on 15.2 until I hear iOS 18 fixes mail or that 15.2 doesn't break Mail.

Not directly related but it's close :D I see my help Help Window shows up under the Window menu, but it has the same name as the Main Window (the app name). How can I edit the name of the window used in the Window Menu?

I modified the above func to add code to detect if the Help Session already exists: func helpMenuTappedHandler(_ action: UIAction) { // check if Help Window already exists before requesting one if let helpScene = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes.first(where: { $0.session.configuration.name == SceneConfiguration.helpWindowConfiguration }), let helpWindowScene = helpScene as? UIWindowScene { let window = helpWindowScene.keyWindow ?? helpWindowScene.windows.first window?.makeKeyAndVisible() return } .... } This does seem to work, except that if the Help Window is behind the Main Window, the call window?.makeKeyAndVisible() does not bring that Window in front of the other Main window as expected... I'm starting to wonder if I should just create the Help window as another window inside the Main UIScene instead of in its own Scene. Thoughts?

Just like @blaap, I too wasted most of a full day on this. My app uses a framework I built. The framework uses 'default build settings' including the "Skip install" set to NO. I wanted to use the automatic signing but that always produced an archive with the "Distribute Content" that @joerick mentions. It had been a while since I setup an app in the store so I forgot that it should say "Distribute App". Once I followed @joerick advice, I quickly found and changed Skip install to YES and BINGO, I have Distribute App and Validate App both enabled!! Apple would do well to have some tips and suggestions so others don't burn up a day on this crap since the framework used default settings. FWIW, I also unchecked "Allow Archiving for Simulator" because that seems to disable the Distribute App and Validate App options. Instead, I just created an archive for Any iOS

In Xcode 15, tap your project upper left, then your target, then Build Settings, then select "All" (not just Basic).

just posted a bug to Apple Developer Feedback...this is still an issue in iPadOS 17 App is using a UISplitViewController with the new column style init. Both primary and secondary child view controllers are subclasses of UITableViewController (yes, I need to move to CollectionViewController ASAP)... This bug occurs when I am in landscape and select iPadOS "Split View" by tapping on the 3 dots menu on top of the screen. As my app slides to the left, this Xcode console occurs. The backtrace from the symbolic break point indicates there are NO calls in my code in the back trace. This is an apple UIKit bug! Workaround for overriding layouSubviews likely to work... here's the backtrace...

@eskimo this is happening from within Xcode (File > New > Playground) Xcode 15.2 for me

I think there's more to the story that bears consideration: @IBOutlet annotation merely allows a variable to be exposed to Interface builder. It doesn't require it to actually be correctly connected to a Xib. If it were unconnected and the variable were referenced within code, the app would crash. We've all experienced this developer error. Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while implicitly unwrapping an Optional value 2. Contrary to a popular WWDC presentation by a UIKit engineer (2015?) who stated that IBOutlets should now be strong, the Apple docs haven't changed. It still recommends @IBOutlet's should be weak var and implicitly unwrapped, since as QuinceyMorris states above, the view hierarchy does hold strong references to correctly attached IBOutlets, thus allowing the object holding the IBOutlet to do so weakly. 3. As always, the devil is in the details with a notable exception: If a UI element is to be added or removed programmatically, it may need to be held with a strong reference because removing a weakly held IBOutlet element from the view hierarchy that currently holds it strongly would cause it to be immediately deallocated if no other references held it strongly.

I tried the above solutions and even using UIBarItem's setTitleAttributes for state, but none of them worked consistently for me. As a last effort, I set the tintColor on the UIBarButtonItem: let isEnabled = <computed property> myBarButtonItem.isEnabled = isEnabled myBarButtonItem.tintColor = isEnabled ? UIColor.systemBlue : UIColor.systemGray
