Reply to Acceptable app updates frequency?
It's clear that's probably most of users prefer less amount of updates. I disagree, I think users consider frequent updates to be an indication that an app is being actively maintained. The other vital consideration is tnat the App Store search ranking algorithm may prefer apps with more frequent updates. I think the ideal update frequency is probably “a bit more often than your competitors”. Every 1-2 days seems rather extreme though. I don’t believe there is a mandated limit imposed by the review system. Beware that each review is an opportunity for them to invent something else to complain about.

Reply to xcode 15.4 [Debug] -> [Simulate Location] with custom gpx is broken
When I try to add a new gpx file with "Add GPX File to Workspace..." the gpx files are greyed out If you view these files in Finder, do you see a GPX icon? What does mdls shows as the kMDItemContentType ? Do you have other apps that do things with GPX files installed? Edited to add: in your screenshot I see that the GPX file has an icon with a red circle - what is that?

Reply to The Mystery of an Array of Strings and Escaped Characters
Don't write comments, they are hard to view. If I try to use an SQL command with a string quoted with apostrophes in order to insert initial values to an SQLite database file, SQLite seems to see escaped apostrophes rather than apostrophes as SQLite gives me an error. How are you using SQLite? You should never form SQL queries by joining strings together'); drop table users;

Reply to Need to change the screenshots in the App Store
Is there any potential to change (the screenshots)? Not until you submit an app update. I need to change my personal name to the app name. That's... unusual :-) The rules for changing your name may depend on where you live and what the app name is. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life called Fart Juggle Pro 1000? Seriously though - if you want to show something other than your name in the App Store, you need to establish a business with that name and have a business account.

Reply to Swiftdata with Date
I'm going out of mind with the following issue. That's normal, everything related to computations on dates and times will rapidly make you mad. Obligatory xkcd: https://www.xkcd.com/2867/ In this case, the key is probably timezones. If you convert a date to a time and then back to a date you can end up with a different date, because the conversion to time is probably at midnight, and I guess midnight in Italy is 22:00 the previous day in UTC. Sorry, I don't have a concrete answer to what you need to change to make your code work. But focus on time zones.

Reply to How to set which states should not have sales tax charged
we do not need to charge sales tax in most states. Users are purchasing from Apple, not from you.

Reply to Amount of deletes
You can see deletions, but I think it is probably "opt-in only". You can also see "active devices (last 30 days)", which may be a good measure of how many users you actually have.

Reply to Proceeds Report Drastically Different For UTC vs PST?
The Trends numbers in App Store Connect seem to have been corrected; I now see essentially the same proceeds in both UC and PST. @mediaspree , and anyone else, do you also see a change? My bug still says "unable to diagnose".

Reply to App Rejection
Are those terms & privacy links functional - they are grey. Have you included the corresponding URLs in the app description?

the app is not appearing in the stores. In what sense is it "not appearing"?

Reply to The Mystery of an Array of Strings and Escaped Characters
I need to quote each value with either an apostrophe or a double quotation mark, not an escaped one. Your values are quoted with apostrophes. The apostrophes are being escaped when you print the array. What are you really trying to achieve here? I imagine that printing the array of strings is not your final objective.
