I'm updating my apps to iOS 17 and in Xcode 14 this code worked perfectly. However, Xcode 15 decided it wasn't going to let it work anymore. What I want to accomplish is to set the title of the button to be white and the icon to be blue. In other words, I want to control the color of both items separately. I'd also like to know how to set the disabled color of the button using configurations. I've tried using baseBackgroundColor and baseForegroundColor but it doesn't seem to make any difference. In interface builder, the button is bone stock with no attributes except the title text. (system, plain, plain) I've tried .plain(), .tinted(), .borderless() and commenting the line out but noting gives me what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated. ` extension UIButton { func settingsBtn_Attributes() { self.configuration = .plain() self.configuration?.image = UIImage(systemName: K.Icons.settings, withConfiguration: UIImage.SymbolConfiguration(scale: .large)) self.configuration?.title = K.Tabbar_Names.settings self.configuration?.attributedTitle?.foregroundColor = .white self.configuration?.imagePlacement = .top self.configuration?.titleAlignment = .center self.configuration?.imagePadding = 6 self.configuration?.contentInsets = NSDirectionalEdgeInsets(top: 0, leading: 0, bottom: 0, trailing: 0) self.configuration?.attributedTitle?.font = .systemFont(ofSize: gMenuTextSize, weight: .regular) } }`

I'm working on some older apps, and I don't think they were ever opened in Xcode 14. I'm updating them in Xcode 15 and I'm having some problems with the Plist. It looks like I've lost the link between the Info.plist and their related Build Settings. I want to lock the iPhone orientation to portrait. This always worked in the past. When I change the Deployment Info, iPad Orientations or iPhone Orientations using the checkboxes the updates show up in the Info Custom iOS Target Properties (info.plist). However, they are not reflected in the Info.plist Values in the build settings. Even if I update the build settings manually, I still don't have the iPhone locked in portrait orientation. Has anybody run into this and know how to fix it? Thanks for the help in advance.

On Jan 2, 2024 I uploaded and got released 13 new apps. The problem I'm having is that only one of the new apps is showing data in analytics, the other 12 show nothing. They are all very similar apps with pretty much the same search criteria as the rest of my apps, 42 total. All of the other apps show plenty of analytic data. I've done searches and the apps do show up in the search. Is there a limit on the number of apps you can have? Is there a way to have Apple look and see if I've done something wrong that's causing the problem? Thank in advance

My apps are set up to store data in a SQLite database on the device. The user is also able to add images and those are also stored on the device. The database and images are stored in the apps documents folder. The database is set up with four tables, one of them containing a list of selectable items so the information in that table is constant. The other three are read/write to the user. The database also contains a field, which contains true/false as to whether the app has been purchased or not. My thought behind was that this would make the users data private and secure. My apps are set up using UIKit so SwiftData is not an option unless I rewrite the entire app in SwiftUI. Or is there a good way to use SwiftData in UIKit? Is there a way to store/move this information into the cloud so that the data can be synced across multiple devices? Or maybe set up an import/export scenario using a CSV file for the database using Dropbox? Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have an app that was written in UIKit. It's too large, and it would be much too time consuming at this point to convert it to SwiftUI. I want to incorporate the new limited contacts into this app. The way it's currently written everything works fine except for showing the limited contacts in the contact picker. I have downloaded and gone though the Apple tutorial app but I'm having trouble thinking it through into UIKit. After a couple of hours I decided I need help. I understand I need to pull the contact IDs of the contacts that are in the limited contacts list. Not sure how to do that or how to get it to display in the picker. Any help would be greatly appreciated. func requestAccess(completionHandler: @escaping (_ accessGranted: Bool) -> Void) { switch CNContactStore.authorizationStatus(for: .contacts) { case .authorized: completionHandler(true) case .denied: showSettingsAlert(completionHandler) case .restricted, .notDetermined: CNContactStore().requestAccess(for: .contacts) { granted, error in if granted { completionHandler(true) } else { DispatchQueue.main.async { [weak self] in self?.showSettingsAlert(completionHandler) } } } // iOS 18 only case .limited: completionHandler(true) @unknown default: break } } // A text field that displays the name of the chosen contact @IBAction func contact_Fld_Tapped(_ sender: TextField_Designable) { sender.resignFirstResponder() // The contact ID that is saved to the Db getTheCurrentContactID() let theAlert = UIAlertController(title: K.Titles.chooseAContact, message: nil, preferredStyle: .actionSheet) // Create a new contact let addContact = UIAlertAction(title: K.Titles.newContact, style: .default) { [weak self] _ in self?.requestAccess { _ in let openContact = CNContact() let vc = CNContactViewController(forNewContact: openContact) vc.delegate = self // this delegate CNContactViewControllerDelegate DispatchQueue.main.async { self?.present(UINavigationController(rootViewController: vc), animated: true) } } } let getContact = UIAlertAction(title: K.Titles.fromContacts, style: .default) { [weak self] _ in self?.requestAccess { _ in self?.contactPicker.delegate = self DispatchQueue.main.async { self?.present(self!.contactPicker, animated: true) } } } let editBtn = UIAlertAction(title: K.Titles.editContact, style: .default) { [weak self] _ in self?.requestAccess { _ in let store = CNContactStore() var vc = CNContactViewController() do { let descriptor = CNContactViewController.descriptorForRequiredKeys() let editContact = try store.unifiedContact(withIdentifier: self!.oldContactID, keysToFetch: [descriptor]) vc = CNContactViewController(for: editContact) } catch { print("Getting contact to edit failed: \(self!.VC_String) \(error)") } vc.delegate = self // delegate for CNContactViewControllerDelegate self?.navigationController?.isNavigationBarHidden = false self?.navigationController?.navigationItem.hidesBackButton = false self?.navigationController?.pushViewController(vc, animated: true) } } let cancel = UIAlertAction(title: K.Titles.cancel, style: .cancel) { _ in } if oldContactID.isEmpty { editBtn.isEnabled = false } theAlert.addAction(getContact) // Select from contacts theAlert.addAction(addContact) // Create new contact theAlert.addAction(editBtn) // Edit this contact theAlert.addAction(cancel) let popOver = theAlert.popoverPresentationController popOver?.sourceView = sender popOver?.sourceRect = sender.bounds popOver?.permittedArrowDirections = .any present(theAlert,animated: true) } func requestAccess(completionHandler: @escaping (_ accessGranted: Bool) -> Void) { switch CNContactStore.authorizationStatus(for: .contacts) { case .authorized: completionHandler(true) case .denied: showSettingsAlert(completionHandler) case .restricted, .notDetermined: CNContactStore().requestAccess(for: .contacts) { granted, error in if granted { completionHandler(true) } else { DispatchQueue.main.async { [weak self] in self?.showSettingsAlert(completionHandler) } } } // iOS 18 only case .limited: completionHandler(true) @unknown default: break } } // MARK: - Contact Picker Delegate extension AddEdit_Quote_VC: CNContactPickerDelegate { func contactPicker(_ picker: CNContactPickerViewController, didSelect contact: CNContact) { selectedContactID = contact.identifier let company: String = contact.organizationName let companyText = company == "" ?

I use the code below for a non-consumable in-app purchase in my apps. Has anybody worked out how to handle this without using any of the deprecated items?
