I hope you’re having a fantastic New Year and that your apps are doing great! This is my first time entering SSC , and I’m excited to share that I’m developing a screen timer app. The idea is to encourage you to take breaks by suggesting a run or workout instead of spending too much time on your screens. I was wondering, have anyone else included short videos or animations in their entries before? Also, could my screen time timer be running in the background? I know there are some limitations with integrations like HealthKit and Screen Time, which is why I’m using a regular countdown timer on the App Store as a prototype. I’m just trying to clarify the rules below to make sure that it’s all good to go : “If your submission includes any open source software, music, photos, artwork, or any other content that you do not have ownership rights in, you agree to (a) comply with all applicable licensing terms and copyright obligations and (b) provide an explanation of why it was used.” And regarding any tracking stuff in the disqualification section, whereas nothing in the app should include: “You track and/or insert analytics code in your App Store meant to identify or track judges’ activity while they review your App Store.” But my app will only have a simple timer in it.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if I downgrade my iPhone to iOS 18 developer beta 1 from developer beta 4 (rereleased) version, what will happen to my Apple Watch Series 6 running watchOS 11 beta 4? I seen people say that their Apple Watches unpaired and they could not pair them again when the iPhone is downgraded from 18 beta to 17.5.1. Though it is within the same iOS version in question, will I still need to get my Apple Watch downgraded as well if I use an IPSW containing the 1st developer beta of iOS 18?
