Some confusion in my company on this scenario: current users are on 1.0.0 - have been for months Apple approves our latest build, say 1.1.0, and we release to the App Store with "Slow Rollout" a few days later, one of the first 1% reports a serious bug the dev team immediately fixes the bug, QA approves it, and we upload a new 1.1.1 release the same day we ask Apple for expedited approval, and that happens in 3 hours we select "Release 1.1.1 on Slow Rollout" on the App Store. So what then? My understanding is that once 1.1.1 is released, since 1.1.0 is the "Official Release", that anyone with auto update turned on will update quickly to 1.1.0, and that then some of those users will be put into the "1.1.1 slow roll out candidate pool)". Others have opined that I'm wrong - that most users will stay at 1.0.0, and the new 1.1.1 candidate pool will be users on both 1.0.0 and 1.1.0. Would love to hear someone reply who knows what Apple will really do.

I'm getting infrequent crashes when I try to show a newly created PDF. The PDF is file based, and shortly after UIGraphicsEndPDFContext its shown. The crash reports make it appear that the file itself is being mutated after its displayed. So my question: is the file (self.filePath) absolutely flushed and closed when UIGraphicsEndPDFContext returns? If not, is there some way to detect when it has finished? Thanks! David `func addPageNumbers() { let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath) guard let document = CGPDFDocument(url as CFURL) else { return } // You have to change the file path otherwise it can cause blank white pages to be drawn. self.filePath = "\(filePath)-final.pdf" UIGraphicsBeginPDFContextToFile(filePath, .zero, nil) let pageCount = document.numberOfPages for i in 1...pageCount { ... } } UIGraphicsEndPDFContext() }

I'm sorta baffled right now. I am trying to wonder how I might detect a updated SQL Store in an older app. have a baseline app, and create a SQL-based repository in an updated app, change the model and verify that you can see the updated model version. Using lightweight migration re-run the older app (which will inherit the newer SQL repository). YIKES - no error when creating the NSPersistenStoreCoordinator! Nothing in the metadata to imply the store is newer than the model: [_persistentStoreCoordinator metadataForPersistentStore:store] My question: is there any way to detect this condition? David

Note that AsyncDNSResolver is a fairly new Apple sponsored framework (search for it). I am trying to resolve a hostname (behind a CNAME) but cannot. In face even "ping" in mac Terminal can't. The host I start with is apidev.leaptodigital.com - when I ask for its CNAME: resolver.queryCNAME(name: "apidev.leaptodigital.com") I get: salespro-dev-server-2.eba-uxpxmksr.us-east-1.elasticbeanstalk.com Great! But nothing I try with that hostname returns an IP address. I tried queryCNAME again, then queryA, then queryAAAA. Yet I can send http traffic to this host, so its getting resolved somewhere. Note that nslookup in Terminal finds it just fine. David PS: tried older APIs like CFHostStartInfoResolution but they don't return anything either. Did not try getHostName as its use is discouraged.

In my case there are three interfaces. I had a mental model that I now believe is incorrect. If any of the 3 interfaces is "satisfied", then I get one message telling me so. I guess if that one interface goes down, then I should get a second message that tells me that (this is hard to test as Xcode keeps disconnecting from my device when I switch to Settings to change things). in my case, wifi and cellular are both on. I launch the app, get notified that wifi is satisfied, but nothing on cellular. So my guess is there is a hierarchy: wired, wifi, and cellular. If the highest priority path is available, the others are assumed "off" since you have a path. Thus, you will never get "satisfied" for more than one path. Correct?

My company wants to be insure that if my Objective-C to Swift conversions fail in anyway, that the app can revert to using the older Objective-C code. By using a remotely controllable flag, the app can switch which code runs as, both are compiled into the app. Essentially, I create a protocol that describes the original class, then both classes (with a "s" or "o" appended to them) conform to the protocol. Protocol: Object Objective-C class: oObject Swift class: sObject That said, I hit one issue that I just can't seem reason out. I create a Objective-C function that returns the appropriate class: Class<Object> classObject(void) { if (myFlag) { return [sObject class]; } else { return [oObject class]; } } Swift deals with this really well - I can create an initialized object using: let object = classObject().init() but I cannot find a way to do this in Objective-C: Object *object = [[classSalesForceData() alloc] init]; fails with "No known class method for selector 'alloc'" Is there a way to do this? David PS: my workaround is to return an allocated object: Object *createObject(void) { if (myFlag) { return [sObject alloc]; } else { return [oObject alloc]; } }

I searched online didn't find anything. David

Select the Project in leftmost pane, open right most pane where Project Document is shown. My (quite old) project has the Project Format set to "Xcode 3.2" (which amazingly I used at one point!). I changed it to "Xcode 16.3", and even selected "Minimize Project References", closed the project, then re-opened it. However, the size of the "project.pbxproj" file didn't change at all. I'm told the newer formats reduce project size as well as reduce merge conflicts when new files are added to the project. Is there a "compress" option from the command line? Thanks, David

User is using my app, the goes to System Settings, and changes some of my App's settings (switches, text fields, etc). Does the system send my app any kind of notification? David PS: I tried all kinds of searches on this and found nothing.

I didn't really find anything in Apple docs on how to debug my extension using Xcode (so not saying it doesn't exist). I found a current Stack post on it, with several devs all stuck. In 2024 someone said run the Preview Extension, select Finder as the test app, then in a Finder window select a file of the correct type and tap space. Nothin happens when I do this (I get the file icon showing). Suggestions most welcome!

This topic was touched on in the notes for the WWDC 2019 session on Binary Frameworks - I even watched the whole video but it wasn't covered there.It appears I should be able to wrap a static library - one that is created by its own (complex) build scripts - and have iOS, iOS Simulator and macOS versions. Also, that the header files can be included as well.I have been unable to find any information googling around on how one might do this. I would greatly appreciate any pointers to some blog/post that covers this.Thanks!
