macOS Simulator
Currently Xcode has iOS simulators that allow easily testing apps on older versions of iOS. It would be helpful if there was also a macOS simulator for testing apps on older versions of macOS. FB21229682 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/724

JavaScript/Swift Interoperability
I think that it would be helpful to have better interoperability between Swift and JavaScript. There are a lot of useful packages on NPM that don't have equivalents for Swift. It would be helpful if Apple provided easier ways to use NPM packages in a Swift project. Currently, the JavaScriptCore framework is missing many standard things used in many packages, like the fetch API. It would be helpful to be able to run sandboxed JavaScript code inside of a Swift app but allow access to specific domains, folders, etc., using a permissions system similar to Deno.

Allow suggesting changes to topic and tags on other people's posts
Many posts on the Apple Developer Forums are categorized incorrectly. It would be nice if there was a way to suggest changes to the topic and tags that someone else's post is filed under and have these changes be able to be approved either by a forum admin or the original poster.

Download IPSW files for older versions of macOS
Is there any official way to download IPSW files for older versions of macOS like macOS 13 for use with a VM app like Parallels or UTM?

Device Support for macOS 15
Last year I remember Apple providing a Device Support download that would allow running macOS 14 in a VM on macOS 13 without needing to install the whole Xcode beta. Is Apple planning on releasing a similar download this year to allow running a macOS 15 VM on macOS 14 without installing the Xcode beta?

The "Remind me later" button doesn't work on the "Customize your experience with Apple Developer" page on the Developer Forums. It just redirects me back to the same page. https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/723

Show number of pages of search results on Developer Forums
Currently when searching on the Apple Developer Forums it shows the current page number but doesn't show how many pages of results there are total. It would be nice if it also showed the total number of pages of results. FB21655261 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/744

Choosing Minimum Deployment Targets
My app uses SwiftData so I need at least iOS 17 as the minimum deployment target. When I select iOS 17 in the dropdown it selects iOS 17.6 as the target. However, the newest simulator available is iOS 17.5. Should I set my minimum deployment target to 17.0, 17.5, 17.6, or something else?

Only make Feedback Assistant IDs links if the signed in user has access to them
Currently all Feedback Assistant IDs on the Apple Developer Forums are links even if the user does not have access to them. It could be helpful if they were only linked when the signed in user has access to them. FB22353186 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/786
