Hi. My app has a single IAP which I currently promote separately on the App Store, as well as allowing purchase in-app. My app currently implements the paymentQueue delegate method which makes the separate promotional listing possible. I want to stop separately promoting my IAP, leaving my app as the only way to purchase the IAP in future. How can I remove the separate listing for my IAP on the App Store? Can I simply delete the promotional artwork for the IAP in App Store Connect? Do I need to release a new binary which no longer supports the paymentQueue delegate? Can I simply unselect “This promotion will be shown to all app store users…” in App Store Visibility and not bother to implement the SKProductStorePromotionController update visibility delegate? Please advise! Thanks in advance.

I'm getting widespread reports from users trialling iOS 17.6 public beta that Siri Shortcuts are failing whenever they enter any text that looks like a URL. It's getting reported to me because my app happens to have an app intent with a string parameter which can contain a URL in some circumstances. However it's easily reproducible outside of my app: just create a 2 line shortcut like the one below. If you change "This is some text" to "https://www.apple.com" the shortcut below will fail: In iOS 17.5 entering "https://www.apple.com" works fine. I've raised feedback on this (FB14206088) but can anyone confirm that this is indeed a bug and not some weird new feature of Shortcuts where the contents of a variable can somehow change the type of a variable? It would be very, very bad if this were so.

It sounds simple but searching for the name "Favorite Songs" is a non-starter because it's called different names in different countries, even if I specify "&l=en_us" on the query. So is there another property, relationship or combination thereof which I can use to tell me when I've found the right playlist? Properties I've looked at so far: canEdit: will always be false so narrows things down a little inFavorites: not helpful as it depends on whether the user has favourite the favourites playlist, so not relevant hasCatalog: seems always true so again may narrow things down a bit isPublic: doesn't help Adding the catalog relationship doesn't seem to show anything immediately useful either. Can anyone help? Ideally I'd like to see this as a "kind" or "type" as it has different properties to other playlists, but frankly I'll take anything at this point.
