Reply to App keeps on getting rejected and my responses seems to be ignored
"To resolve this issue, please revise your app to include features that require the persistent use of real-time location updates while the app is in the background." I believe I do have feature that requires it... How to deal with it? One of you is correct and the other is wrong. But you’ve not told us enough to determine which. If you tell us what your app does, maybe we’ll be able to confirm if you’re right or if they are right.

Reply to Geofencing with no internet/data connection
“Push notifications” go from server to device, so your question doesn’t make much sense. If you mean “sends a notification to my server” then the answer is no - obviously due to the lack of internet connectivity. If you mean “shows the user a notification” then the answer is yes - but it’s a local notification, not a push notification.

Reply to My payments were stopped for absolutely incomprehensible reasons
How did everyone's next steps go? Hi @abul, It's interesting that no-one ever posts a follow-up saying how this was resolved for them in any of the many threads. I guess there are a couple of possibilities: Apple resumed payments, but the developers didn't bother to post anything here because they are too lazy / rude / forgetful / whatever. Apple decided that their accounts were fraudulent and deleted them, including blocking their access to this forum, or deleting their subsequent replies. Which do you think it is? Personally I have no idea. But it worries me greatly. In my opinion, developers should all consider the possibility that their income could switch off at any time, and structure their careers appropriately - don't put all your eggs in one basket!

Reply to Display an SVG file in macOS and/or iOS
I don't think there is a public API for SVG display, except using a web view. There is, however, a private API called CoreSVG - I know this because I have seen it mentioned in error messages! (Hmm, I guess I'm not certain if it is in iOS or macOS or both.) So it might be worth filing a bug asking for CoreSVG to become a public API.

Reply to PID constantly changing, can't kill daemon
killall does something like your (1). pstree can be useful; it may identify a parent process that you can kill. That's in homebrew.

Reply to Apple's StoreKit sample code requires distributing license along with app?
Does this mean the license needs to be included or shown somehow in binary distributions of an app? Yes. Typically you’d put it in the app’s Help screen, or similar. (If you ever need a license that doesn’t require attribution in binaries, use the Boost Licence.)

Reply to Age restriction change on downloaded application
I'm not sure, but you may not be allowed to increase the restriction.

Are you using “when in use” or “always” location permission?

Reply to Do we need to add font license to iOS App Project for using Custom Fonts?
What licenses do those fonts use? Using content without the necessary licensing is unlikely to result in an app review rejection, unless it is something that Apple gets a lot pf complaints about.

Reply to Bug in forum handling of feedback IDs
Looks like someone assumed that there will never be more than 7 digits in the feedback ID. If someone working for me did that, I’m immediately be checking their git history to see what other crimes they had committed….

Reply to Starting location updates from the background in iOS 16.0+
I need to be able to get precise location updates continuously even if the app is terminated. You can't do that.

Reply to App approved and can be accessible via the store link, but not searchable via keyword
not searchable via keyword. Which keywords are you referring to? The iAd advertising keywords, or the old keywords in App Store Connect?
