Reply to The right way to extend UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities
If NFC is now essential, you need to create a new app. It would normally be better to make NFC optional, by continuing to provide the old behaviour on devices that don’t have NFC, and not adding it to the required capabilities. What devices don’t have NFC now? With some of these capabilities you can require them by requiring a sufficiently new iOS version which only runs on hardware that has the feature. One example of that was OpenGL ES 2. Apple do allow to to require a newer iOS version that excludes some existing users.

Reply to Any way to request that the GPS stays active, even in a low-motion situation?
I keep getting location updates, but the updates contain the exact same lat/long even though I'm slowly moving That’s probably because you’re using one of the activity types where Apple snaps your location to roads, or similar, in order to get tidier lines on the screen. I use the running/hiking/ activity type (forget the exact name) for everything; it’s the least messed-about. P.S. Don’t post comments, post replies. Comments don’t seem to generate email notifications.

Reply to International iOS Game App Dev US Tax
we are a startup game studio in Korea Are you a business (i.e. "LLC", "Limited Company", etc.), or a partnership / group of friends with no legal business status? Most of us lived and worked in the States back in the day to understand that there are Fed and State taxes to be paid separately in the States. Not necessarily. The U.S. has very unusual tax rules about its citizens having to pay US taxes even when they are permanently living/working abroad. If you are Korean citizens who have previously lived/worked in the US, does that apply to you? Or are you US citizens living in Korea? In any case, I would not expect the US to attempt to tax a Korean business with no US presence whose owners happen to have previously lived in the US. But I am far from an expert in this. You should probably talk to an international taxation expert. And make sure whoever you talk to actually is an expert in this specific subject! Don't rely on random people on the internet!

Reply to itmstransporter 3.0.0 broken in Linux.
Do people find that it also doesn't work on macOS? A few weeks ago I tried using the copy of iTMSTransporter that is embedded in the (confusingly named) Transporter app on my mac, and that also failed to work. (My plan had been to compare the output of the mac and linux versions and see where they diverge. I have successfully decompiled the Java and I believe that if I knew where the two versions diverge I could try to find the bug. But that doesn't work as the mac version also crashes.) My next idea is to determine exactly how the Transporter app (which does work for me) invokes iTMSTransporter - assuming that it does do that, which seems reasonable as there is a copy embedded within it. Are there any macOS experts here who know how to find the command line for a running executable? Is it possible for an App Store app, like Transporter?
