That depends on whether your custom symbol is, in law, a "derived work" from Apple's copyright symbol. If you've taken an Apple symbol and make a small adjustment to it - for example, putting a / though their $ symbol, as you seem to have done in your example, then I'm sure that does count as a derived work and cannot be used. On the other hand, if your custom symbol is all your own work - and the only connection with Apple's symbols is, for example, that you've designed your symbol to look right when used in combination with the Apple symbols - then it probably is not a derived work, and can be used. If you're unsure, ask an intellectual property lawyer. Well, except that you would need a lawyer who is more expensive than Apple's lawyers, and that could be difficult to find.

Yes, that should work.

Just use clang (or clang++). I've never heard of "GPP". Apple have their own version of clang, which differs slightly from the "upstream" clang. The easiest way to install gcc/g++ is to use Homebrew.

I believe that the listings in the App Store are per-country. So if you are in a relatively small country, and you and a friend have each bought a copy, then that may be enough to get you to a good position in the list that you see. It may be possible to view other countries' App Store listings via some third-party websites. Also, beware that the App Store listings do not purely indicate sales volumes; positions in the lists include other factors.

Why are you writing std::__1 ? I would say that that's undefined behaviour, unless you know something I don't.

just so strange for a user who give you 5 starts and then delete the rating. Yes, in the event that they wanted to revise their 5-star rating (e.g. after finding a problem with the app) I imagine at least many of them would want to change it to a lower rating, and you are not seeing an increase in lower ratings. Is it possible that some users are getting refunds, and that ratings/reviews for refunded apps are removed? (Is it a paid app?)

How are you compiling it?

(BTW, std::basic_ostringstream<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > is the same as std::ostringstream.)

It might be interesting to see what c++ --verbose says.

Sorry, I've no idea what's going on there, this is beyond my understanding of how it's supposed to work.

In production, you can see the number of IAPs sold in App Store Connect. In development (sandbox), you cannot see this data; no money has changed hands. IMPORTANT: you only see aggregate IAPs sold. Sometimes people post here asking for things like a list of names of people who have bought each IAP. That is never available. You only get the aggregate number of IAPs sold, per day, per territory, just like the main app sales.

Or are Apple already working on this bug, and therefore this (submitting a demo project) would all be a waste of time, just duplicating effort? Likely this, I would say. I was serious in my previous comment that other mapping solutions are available. Consider this: if you had started implementing Google Maps, or MapBox, or ArcGIS, or AWS maps, when you first became aware of this, would you have completed that work by now? Of course cost is a consideration for most of these, but you could maybe consider this a temporary cost until Apple implement a fix. What’s it worth to keep your users happy?

The Apple Feedback utility gives no... feedback at all Correct. edford has confirmed that the right people have received your report. You probably won’t hear anything else. The exception would be if they can’t reproduce the problem, in which case they will send a message saying “please submit a complete xcode project that demonstrates the problem”. You may also get messages after a while saying “please confirm if this problem still exists in xcode version n+1 beta”. This could mean that they believe they have fixed it and are asking you to confirm, or it could mean that they just guess that maybe it has gone away due to unrelated changes, and want you to re-run your check. Have you tried to reproduce the bug with upstream clang? If you can reproduce it with upstream clang, do so and report that to them!

Have you looked for a third-party contacts app that does what you want?

I've just tried to use iTMSTransporter to upload an app for the first time for a while; it has auto-updated itself to a new version and I'm getting problems: iTMSTransporter -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -m upload -assetFile app.ipa -assetDescription AppStoreInfo.plist That says "Cannot obtain the content provided public id. Please specify a provider short name". It didn't say that before, and I'm not a member of more than one team, but I can provide it anyway: iTMSTransporter -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -m provider That tells me my shortname. iTMSTransporter -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -asc_provider SHORTNAME -m upload -assetFile app.ipa -assetDescription AppStoreInfo.plist Now it just fails with an empty error message: Package summary: 1 package(s) were not uploaded because they had problems: Looking at the info-level logging, I see: INFO: Configuring the software uploader... INFO: Looking up provider information... INFO: id = 20230210230720-123 INFO: iTMSTransporter Correlation Key: 123456-123456-123456....... INFO: Performing software analysis... Then it gives up. The extremely verbose debug mode has no further clues. So: has anyone made this work recently? Has anyone contacted Apple? Edited to add: Should I be using -jwt for authentication now? Edited again: I see JacobVe was already using -jwt, so I guess that's not the problem.
