Reply to RealityKit SIMD3<Float> precision decreases with distance?
Are you saying the implementation of SIMD3 is not a collection or struct of three separate values? No, I'm not saying that; the Swift SIMD type is certainly just a struct of regular floats. I believe the corresponding GPU arithmetic is too. But by the time these values have gone through all of your transform matrices, and in particular perspective devision, every value could have had some sort of influence on every other. However, as I said, "there could be other issues involved". Keep debugging.

Reply to Using Google Maps in App to determine distance
There are various other routing services, including: MapBox has a Directions API: https://docs.mapbox.com/api/navigation/directions/ AWS has one here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/location/latest/developerguide/routes.html Also consider OpenRouteService: https://openrouteservice.org/dev/#/api-docs The cheapest option for a large volume of queries will be to implement your own instance of OpenRoutService, or similar. But that's a lot of work.

Screenshots can only be changed when an app update is released. This could be a trivial update with no real changes. It still needs to go through app review etc. 5-8 hours work seems not completely unreasonable, if the developer is going to do some proper pre-release testing etc.

Reply to An Apple Developers Rant.... (So upset...)
I am fully aware that I can no longer use xcode to put anything else on my iphone without a developer licence No, you can install apps from xcode onto your phone without a paid developer program membership. The difference is that they expire more quickly (maybe 7 days instead of 90??) and maybe some features are unavailable. Somewhere there is a table explaining exactly what you can do but I can’t immediately find it. Maybe someone else will find a link.

We appreciate your interest in participating in the forums! Last time we discussed this, we were told that there are no Apple "bots" on the forum and these messages are written by actual human Apple employees. I don't believe that There is no way that Apple could possibly employ someone who reads that obviously-spam message and thinks, "this needs to be on the Apple Support forum". No, impossible. So, I'm going to downvote the obvious bot message. Let's see what happens.

Reply to App is marked as a blood alcohol content calculator
Promillewert Is it the ‰ of alcohol in the blood that you are referring to? Or is it something completely different? (I know that gradients on railways are expressed in ‰, for example.) If you are trying to create a blood-alcohol estimation app, I suspect that that is banned.

Reply to Slow app review? anyone else?
There was someone posting a few days ago who had been waiting for 3 months. Scroll through the forum and see what you think. 36 hours, at the weekend, seems fine to me.

Yes, floating point values get less precise the larger they are. If that is a complete surprise to you, read something about floating point. Whether that explains what you’re seeing or not, I don’t know. There could be other issues involved.

Reply to Fresh Project Using Insecure APIs (_sscanf, _strlen, _fopen, malloc) in Binary
All of the so-called “secure” APIs are built on top of the so-called “insecure” APIs, in particular malloc. The point is that these “insecure” APIs are only insecure if you use them wrongly. You need to trust that the people who have used malloc and strlen in e.g. the Swift or obC runtime are smarter than you and use them safely.

Reply to Is a spam an appreciated participation in the forums ?
A canned reply is not the same as a bot I human that cannot be distinguished from a bot might as well be a bot.

Reply to Geolocation Manager without function?
Maybe the iPhone is cleverly recognising that the GPS signal is fake, somehow? You might ask Rohde & Schwarz to comment.

Reply to Recently Changed Bundle ID, can we still upgrade the old app?
What's the customer experience for those with the old app? It's a completely different app.
