I'm currently working on a SwiftUI subscription manager app and getting ready to launch my first TestFlight beta soon. Things are going well so far, the only thing I'm having trouble figuring out is how to schedule notifications based on a subscription start date, as well as calculating the next renewal date.
Upon adding a subscription, the user will be able to specify a start date, whether it renews weekly, monthly or annually as well as when the notification should be sent. The user can choose between being notified on day of renewal to 7 days before renewal.
I also need a way to calculate the date of next renewal. The next renewal date will not be stored, only the start date. I've been thinking to solve this by getting the next trigger date of the notification, as well as accounting for how many days before renewal.
It would be really appreciated if someone knows the solution to this problem.

I am trying to set the background colour of my app shortcut platter for the visionOS version using NSAppIconComplementingColorNames but it doesn’t take effect when I check the shortcuts app. I see the built in Music Recognition app has a background colour but I am unable to set one for my app. Please note that this feature is working correctly on iOS. But on visionOS it has no effect and returns a plain background.
I am using Xcode 15.3 beta 2 and running the visionOS 1.1 simulator.
Sample code from Info.plist:
<key>CFBundleIcons</key>
<dict>
<key>CFBundlePrimaryIcon</key>
<dict>
<key>NSAppIconComplementingColorNames</key>
<array>
<string>SMGreen</string>
<string>DarkGreen</string>
</array>
</dict>
</dict>

Before I launched my app, I ran a TestFlight beta program and also included a one time purchase in the TestFlight build to test the functionality.
Now that the app is available in the App Store, I had closed the TestFlight program, but am looking to reopen it again to test iOS 18 specific features. The issue is, the beta testers that previously purchased the IAP on TestFlight but didn't actually purchase the IAP on the App Store version would be able to use the paid features of the app for free as long as they have the TestFlight build. Therefore I would like to revoke all the purchases made via the TestFlight build.
Is there any way to do that?

On both the iOS 18 beta 3 and iPadOS 18 beta 3 simulators, the customise button in home screen edit mode does nothing. I can check the dark mode icons by toggling the system appearance, but as the customise menu doesn’t work there is no way to check the tinted icons on the simulator.

I integrated the image playground sheet in my app, however when I select Take Photo on the iOS version of my app it just reloads the sheet. After several attempts I get the below error message.
This issue doesn’t occur on the macOS version of my app, where it first requests camera permission before allowing me to take the photo.
I’m not sure if this is happening because I don’t request the camera permission anywhere in my app. My app doesn’t use the camera at all apart from the Take Photo feature which is part of the image playground sheet.

The simulator should support the new Siri Ul and Apple Intelligence features, at least they should work if Apple Intelligence is enabled on the Mac itself.

I noticed the time sensitive entitlement says it's only for iOS and macOS. But without the entitlement, the time sensitive toggle doesn't show in my app's notification settings on visionOS.
When I archive my visionOS app for App Store Connect, the entitlement seems to be taken out as it doesn't show in my entitlement list for the build in App Store Connect.
I'm confused at this point if the entitlement is really necessary, since it seems to be needed to debug on the simulator at least. I don't have a physical device to test it on unfortunately.
When using the writingToolsBehavior API on a TextField and the app compiled with the iOS 26 SDK is run on an iOS 18 device, the app crashes with a symbol not found error.
It only crashes on the release build configuration and not on debug.

I’m trying to access the TestFlight public links forum mentioned here but it is saying page not found. Is the forum not available yet or something?
If an app contains app intents and built using the visionOS 1.1 SDK, and the app is either run on the visionOS 1.0 simulator or a visionOS 1.0 device the app instantly crashes on launch with a missing symbol error. This doesn’t happen with apps built using the visionOS 1.0 SDK.
Below is a screenshot of a crash report sent by TestFlight review:

I have a native SwiftUI Mac app which is based off my iOS app and includes Core Data with iCloud sync. As per my understanding, when a user makes a change on one of the devices a remote notification is sent to the others. I have a widget which displays information from Core Data and the remote notification makes the widget update its information on the next timeline refresh without the user having to open the app manually.
My question is, if an app is closed on macOS so it's not even running in the Dock, do remote notifications work? This page says "the delegate receives this message when the application is running and a remote notification arrives for it". Does that mean the app won't receive remote CloudKit notifications when closed on macOS?
This is a follow up to my previous post, this time using the visionOS 1.2 simulator and Xcode 15.4.

I noticed the documentation doesn't mention it works on visionOS. But if that's the case how was the music recognition app able to set a colour?
On Xcode 15.4, LAContext.biometryType had an @available attribute of visionOS 1.0. However, in Xcode 16, the @available attribute for biometryType was changed to a visionOS 2.0 minimum requirement, preventing the app from building if the minimum deployment target is earlier than visionOS 2.0.
This was the attribute on Xcode 15.4:
This is the attribute on Xcode 16:

Ever since updating both my iPhone and iPad to iOS 18.1 beta 7, they simply won't connect to Xcode 16.1 beta 3.
When connecting via cable, Xcode gets stuck on preparing for 5 to 10 mins and then outputs the below error:

Any solution for this issue?
I use the write-review query parameter in my App Store URL to bring up the review prompt in the App Store app:
https://apps.apple.com/app/id0123456789?action=write-review
(0123456789 is just an example ID, obviously replace that with your app ID)
This is exactly what is supposed to be done as per the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/requesting_app_store_reviews#4312600
However, on macOS it just opens the product page as if I never put the query parameter in the URL. It works fine on iOS 18.2.
I am using macOS 15.2 beta 3 (24C5079e)
