Comment on Free trial for one-time purchase: Is the $0 IAP workaround still recommended in 2026?
I checked the link and it recommends to use AppTransaction with originalPurchaseDate to verify the trial. I'm not sure if it complies with the guidelines because they tell that "Prior to the start of the trial, your app must clearly identify its duration, the content or services that will no longer be accessible when the trial ends, and any downstream charges..." But I've seen quite a few apps using silent trial there. I guess depends on the reviewer.

Comment on Apple Watch can't always reconnect
And your job is to provide service to us, since we pay for all that devices, developer programs and fees. If I'd be "serious about engineering with you" I would pass the interview and become part of the team. Otherwise I suggest you to start reading forums, as all other big companies do. At least the Apple forum. Here's a 39 replies thread https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/734694 named "Apple Watch cannot reconnect". It indicates that many people have the issue, and it worth attention.

Thanks for the input. I still don't trust Apple bugreport. In the beginning of my career I reported about 15 bugs following thoroughly all the steps and providing all the logs and sometimes screenshots. Some bugs were closed due "duplicates", some were ignored for 5+ years then closed later when "outdated". Only few were actually fixed. Overall filling all that forms without any adequate feedback is a waste of resource. Since we, developers, always have OUR job to do.
