Reply to The new iPad Mini (6th generation) introduces a new, smaller(!), screen size?
There's a good iPad Mini review by Federico Viticci, writing on MacStories. He raises all the issues I've been wanting to talk about. Speaking of the narrower (in Portrait orientation) screen, he says: This has some interesting side effects on webpages and apps, and it makes using the new iPad mini a peculiar affair at first. ...and in Landscape mode: ...you get longer lines of text but fewer paragraphs of text displayed at the same time. ...and the kicker (emphasis mine)... ..I think some apps will have to be updated to properly take advantage of its new screen resolution. Speaking of games: ...all the games I tried from Apple Arcade over the past week featured black bars (letterboxing) on the left and right sides of the display. and (again, emphasis mine)... ...I hope game developers will update their games quickly to take advantage of the full 8.3” display on the iPad mini Overall, the review is very positive, of course. https://www.macstories.net/stories/ipad-mini-review-small-wonder/

Reply to [iOS 15]The tableView(_:numberOfRowsInSection:) is called before the numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView)
You said: i just define the dataSource in the Class Are you also settings the tableView's datasource to this property? (It looks like you aren't) Otherwise... For both functions, zero is a valid return value... ...so that suggests there may be a problem with the property you are accessing? You said: my dataSource is empty It's not clear what you mean by this. If it's really empty, isn't a crash an appropriate response? • Are you sure that both methods are being called? • Have you checked the Int value that they return? • Are you checking to see that datasource[section] exists, before you reference it?!

Reply to Test Flight unavailable for testers, but available for account owner.
On TestFlight: Internal Testing • "App Store Connect Users" can test all builds, as soon as they are uploaded • (Actually, as soon as they have been "processed", which is usually very quick) • It's also possible to set up Test Groups, and assign specific builds to them (but they don't get anything automatically) • TestFlight Review is not required, for these testers External Testing • All builds must go through TestFlight Review, and be approved Which is your case? • It sounds like your "account owner" is getting the immediate "internal testing". • But how have your other testers been set up?

Reply to Is it possible somehow in iOS to prevent screen capture?
It is not possible to prevent screenshots and screen recording on iOS. And yet, ScreenShieldKit seems to have achieved this! That suggests, at the least, that it is very difficult, and there is no "simple" coding solution. I suggest that you investigate ScreenShieldKit, and see if their pricing model suits your needs (depending on how important this feature is, for your app).

Reply to iOS 15 on iPhone X, live text not there!
I'm afraid Live Text will not work on your iPhone X. Apple say: You need an iPhone XS, iPhone XR, or later with iOS 15 to use Live Text. See https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT212630

Reply to App Store Connect shows wrong build number
Are you confusing the "Version" number with the "Build" number? • A Version number is typically something like 1.4.3 • A Build number is generally an integer, like 6 Build numbers must always increase... each App Store Connect upload must have a higher Build number. Are you using any code to automatically increment your Build number?

Reply to What happened to the Network Link Conditioner in the iOS Developer menu?
Network Link Conditioner is part of the "Additional Tools for Xcode 13"... ...so you will need to download, from https://developer.apple.com/download/all/ The download is a dmg, with all the tools. The "Hardware" folder contains "Network Link Conditioner.prefPane" Since Xcode 11, you can limit the network condition for a tethered device.

Reply to Why Xcode 13 not available in Download on developer.apple.com?
Xcode 13 is now available at https://developer.apple.com/download/release/ (under "Applications"). So that didn't take too long.

Reply to Adding simple "help" description to menu bar
If you're using a Storyboard for your Mac app: • Create a scene that you want to use for "Help" (you may already have this... your Q/A page?) • From the Main Menu "[app name] Help" item, drag a (Show) segue over to your Help scene

Reply to Terminal in Xcode
There is some here confusion over whether "Console: Use Terminal" is actually shown in the Scheme Options. I find that it only appears for macOS apps, not iOS apps!

Reply to How do I show the output in terminal?
Tested in Xcode 13.0 RC Product > Scheme > Edit Scheme... Run (Debug) > Options > Console // scroll to the bottom, to see it. Use Terminal Note: This option only seems to appear for macOS apps, not iOS apps!

After an update, Spotlight may have to do major re-indexing?

Reply to Expected output of NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains on iOS simulator vs actual device
Did you try it? NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.libraryDirectory, .localDomainMask, false) Simulator: ["/Library"] Real Device: ["/Library"] Can you be more specific about what you are asking?

Reply to The new iPad Mini (6th generation) introduces a new, smaller(!), screen size?
All the early commenters are just repeating Apple's "7.9 increased to 8.3" line... no-one is mentioning that the smaller dimension has reduced from 1536 to 1488. Hopefully the proper reviews will answer this question, but I'm interested that it's not getting mentioned.
