neural engine for model training?
Can anyone clarify which devices or chips the so-called "neural engine" can be used for machine learning model Training? As opposed to inference (or prediction)? And can external libraries such as Tensorflow (perhaps via the browser-based javascript library) access the neural engine in any manner for training or inference?

siri privacy hint
for those of you who have clients who are concerned with privacy, note that you have to go into system prefs in your mac and dig into the "siri suggestions and privacy" and shut off sirl for all the apps listed there, if in fact you don't want siri scanning your data. it is not enough to shut off "enable ask siri" at the top level. i found this out when siri scanned open safari pages and wanted to add things to my calendar. what? apple must have hired some google employees, heh.

bundle identifier null
i am getting this error when i added a new app extension (notification content) error: Embedded binary's bundle identifier is not prefixed with the parent app's bundle identifier. Embedded Binary Bundle Identifier: (null) i have set it up the same way as another app extension in the app. i have also tried to set the bundle id manually in the info.plist file as noted by some posts, but xcode keeps changing it back to the default of ${PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER}. e.g. my manual edits to info.plist aren't being accepted for this key. it seems like maybe PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER variable is getting cleared to null for that extension during the build process? any workarounds?

AVFoundation error -11829 "Cannot Open" (random-ish fail on same url)
trying to use AVPlayer on a remote (https:) mp4 file. randomly we get the above error on the exact same url. works fine on other urls. sometimes works on the failing url. no clue what is going on. "cannot open" is not a descriptive error message. the url plays fine in a browser. the random fail happens on some other URLs also. is there some way we can get more detailed error notes on what is causing the failure? using latest ios15.x update on iphone12 mini. does not seem to fail on iphone X (same ios level). which is also strange.

macos app non-store distribution question / hardened runtime
i would like to code sign a mac app but leave out the hardened runtime business because some third party libraries (python-related if it is important) are causing troubles with that. e.g. the benefit of code signing is that it keeps people from modifying the app contents. this is of course a benefit even without the hardened runtime. is there a way to do this any more? it seems like it used to be an option. i realize this requires non app store distribution.

header path search rules and Xcode settings for ObjC
sometimes i get external modules to integrate using the <path/file.h> form for header file paths (even tho they are not apple framework or system files). sometimes i get them with the "path/file.h" form. sometimes they work. sometimes they don't. there are many header file settings in the xcode build settings. i count at least 11 settings for header search paths in xcode. there may be more. does anyone have a definitive Apple guide to all this complexity with respect to ObjC headers in one place? every time there are header file search problems, it seems to involve a random process of changing various settings until everything builds, but that seems to be the wrong way. it also takes a long time.

UITabBarItem image control when in the "More..." overflow VC
hi all, we are using the UITabBarItem (s) with custom images, works great when the tab bar items are actually in the bottom tab bar, using the special mode of [... imageWithRenderingMode:UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysOriginal]; however, when we have overflow tabs that show in the More... view controller, the tab bar images show as a solid rectangle any tricks to solve this? see attached, bottom tab is great, but the top More... controller ... not so great

set background color of [UIImage systemImageNamed: ... ]
hello all, any idea if you can set the background color of one of these new SFSymbol images? i tried this paletteColors: method, it seems to take only the first color and use it as the foreground color   UIImageSymbolConfiguration * config =         [UIImageSymbolConfiguration configurationWithPaletteColors:@[[UIColor blueColor], [UIColor redColor]]];     UIImage * confMatImageSel = [UIImage systemImageNamed:@"square.grid.2x2"             withConfiguration:config];

[PHAsset fetchAssetsInAssetCollection: ... ] notably slower in ios16+ ?
has anyone noticed this query being a lot slower in newer iOS versions? we try to get counts of all assets in all asset collections (folders) to display in a selector table for the user to select an album to work with, and it seems to be lagging recently when there are a lot of assets involved maybe some of the assets are on iCloud? not sure. getting user reports of speed issues. we are trying to set .fetchLimit in fetch options to a number like 1000 or so to keep it from scanning all assets as a test to see if we get fewer complaints, but will have to wait for user feedback and our tracking metrics to see if it speeds up or not on real user devices with lots of photos. regarding counts, we are seeing users with 100k+ assets on a device (photos & videos).
