Reply to Developing app for personal use only

I've done that for a media app I wrote. You just need to run it on a provisioned device. You will need to run it from xcode periodically since the provisioning profile expires to refresh it.

Reply to PWA Web Push not arriving on iOS 18.0 - solved

I don't know if it is connected, but iOS 18 seems to generally have trouble with notifications. Setting it to use the display as a count seems to help. Restarting the phone or turning notifications off and on for an app sometimes helps.

You might get better answers in the consumer forum.

You might also look for support forums for the applications.

It is worth remembering that there is nothing stopping someone pointing a phone camera at the screen and recording it that way.

The name can be what you want. It is good to have a naming convention for apps you create.

Reply to Problem installing debugging on IOS 18 with Xcode 16

I find that opening the device/simulator window and unpair the device. It will immediately start to re-pair with the device. 3rd party vpn's can block the connection.

Reply to Is there a quick way to package Android applications written in Kotlin language into iOS applications?

There is at least one Kotlin plug-in for xcode that would let you develop iOS applications in Kotlin. I would suspect the ease/difficulty of making your apps work in iOS would depend on how you built the ui. If everything is in Kotlin it would be easier than if you used android specific code.

Reply to UITabBarController didSelect item not working on iOS 18

The signature for the delegate method has likely changed to support swift concurrency. That sort of issue has broken a lot of our app's screens,

Reply to UIApplication.shared.open iOS 18

Those are two different methods. This is the one with a closure that works https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiapplication/1648685-open This one, with no closure is deprecated and nonfunctional https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiapplication/1622961-openurl

Reply to Is Swift6 required for iOS18 production apps?

I would expect to be able to use swift 5 for some time. xcode 16 doesn't require you to use swift 6 That said, it is better to begin migration sooner rather than later. We still have objective c code.
