After using CloudKit enabled CoreData app for a while, I have the following observation. I have been actively use a CloudKit enabled CoreData app, for 2 weeks. Then, I get another fresh device. Once I hook up the fresh device to internet, based on the UI updating sequence, it seems like CoreData is replaying the entire transaction history, starting from 2 weeks ago till now. So, my questions is, if we are using the CloudKit enabled CoreData app for 5 years. Then, when I get a fresh new device, will the CoreData replaying the entire transaction history starting from 5 years ago? Isn't that is highly inefficient, and cause the new device sync extremely slow? Is that is so, how can we avoid such slowness, when user is using the app long time enough, and then decide to sync to a newly bought device? Thank you

I am using XCode 14. The following is the UIImageView, using SFSymbol face.smiling UIImageView background is pink color UIImageView tint is black color When I switch my app to dark mode, the smiling face which use to be transparent color, has became solid black color. The face line (eye, mouth, face border) used to be solid black color, had became transparent color. It seems like the image has changed from "face.smiling" to "face.smiling.fill" ? I would like to avoid such outcome. Is there a way, to force UIImageView load SFSymbol in light mode, even though the entire app is using dark mode? (This happens same when I test using real device and simulator) Thanks.

Our widget extension appearance, is dependent on the main app content. The only way for us to keep the widget(s) up-to-date, is to perform the following during app inactive. class SceneDelegate: UIResponder, UIWindowSceneDelegate { func sceneDidEnterBackground(_ scene: UIScene) { // Refresh home widgets. WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() This is always called regardless whether there is widget being placed. I was wondering, is this consider a good practice? I do not wish to perform unnecessary operation, which will drain up user battery.

I wish to login simulator using a sandbox account so that I can test on in-app purchase and subscription. I have created a new apple id account using a new email. I have confirmed the new apple id + password is correct, by login into https://appleid.apple.com/#!&page=signin I also added the new apple id account into App Store Connect as sandbox tester - However, I am still not able login to simulator. I am keep getting error - "Username or password is incorrect" You can see in the simulator background. I can login to https://appleid.apple.com/#!&page=signin using the new apple id + password via web browser. But, I am not sure why I am not able login into the simulator itself. Can anyone assist me on this? Thank you.

Currently, if we perform multiple selection on PHPickerViewController, a tick icon is being used to indicate selection. https://i.imgur.com/KCaSF9p.png However, such information doesn't convey information for the selection ordering. Is it every possible, to display the ordering number? This is an example from 3rd party library - https://github.com/mikaoj/BSImagePicker As you can see, the 3rd party library is using 1,2,3... to convey selection ordering information https://i.imgur.com/YoQVS4v.png Can we achieve the same behavior in PHPickerViewController? We prefer to use PHPickerViewController, because it doesn't need to request permission to access photo library. Thanks.
