Comment on User Name components
FWIW, Apple Music, as of iOS 17.3, still shows "Find Friends" -- "Apple Music will periodically check the contacts on your devices to recommend new friends.". Given ALL of the discover user APIs are deprecated, one only using CloudKit would then have to create a new record type that saves user contact info. By design, in order to query that data, it would have to be public otherwise you couldn't perform query operations on it against your contact info.

Comment on User Name components
I spoke with the CloudKit team during WWDC23 about this feature. They said, unfortunately there is not a replacement and that I should file feedback. I did - FB12341314. The feedback got a reply saying there is not plans to replace the functionality. Apple Music is accessing user contacts if you look at App Privacy Report, previously it felt like they were using this feature to build their discover users. This feature was underrated and might be gone forever. I suggest you also file feedback.

Comment on Pre-order link preview in Messages app is showing unapproved/older App Store screenshot
Thanks! I checked media manager and the 5.5 inch didn't get updated, looks like a mistake on my end. However, I think it was still expected that the link preview would take the 6.5 inch screenshot if previewing on an iPhone 13 Pro vs an SE given that the 5.8" display is falling back to 6.5. Here is to hoping I can change preorder screenshots with FB11255286.

Comment on Advanced AppClips creation code in WWDC Video is incorrect and doesn't match the documentation.
@SebC99, does the documentation here seem correct to you? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/app_store/app_clips_and_app_clip_experiences if not, mind creating a feedback? I'm experiencing issues with App Store Connect portal and cannot edit my experiences and started to look at the API as a workaround.

Comment on CloudKit and Serial-port Communication
@eskimo and @grahm34, WWDC 2021, when asked how to integrate CloudKit where the entitlement is not available, the workaround was to use the CloudKit Web Services API. I don't think there is any way to programmatically log in (get an auth token) which would be required since you are saving records. Right now my AppClip performs read-only functions on CloudKit, but I'd be curious to see what you come up with!

Comment on Initialization order of SwiftUI Application + @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor
Thanks @MobileTen for the link. Ironically, when conforming the ApplicationDelegate to ObservableObject, its initializer gets hit first, then the application struct's; the order is changed. No conformance it is Application init THEN ApplicationDelegate. I haven't found documentation yet on the property wrappers describing initialization differences if the wrapped value conforms to ObservableObject or not.

Comment on NSPinnedDomains in AppClip Info.plist doesn't seem to take for URLSession API
Thanks Matt, if I get things working in my main app target I'll be sure to rinse and repeat for the app clip. Since my Feedback and the reply I've learned more about CloudKit Web Services (for interacting via that App Clip). I assume I should expect the "DownloadURL" for the CKAsset representations to also be behind the same PKI / certs right?
