Developer Program Billing
Hi, I did get the renew invoice in email but there was an additional charge the same day / time for $6.19 from Apple , seems like it is related but cannot find any invoice in email or anything other than a charge line on the credit card. Does anyone have any idea what this additional charge might be? Still waiting to hear back from Apple.

Clarification on Using Stripe for a Facilitation Platform and Compliance with App Store Guidelines
Hi everyone, We are developing an app, Video Tradie, which operates as a marketplace platform connecting customers with independent tradespeople for consultations. The app facilitates scheduling, communication, and payments but does not directly provide any services—our role is strictly as a facilitator. For payment processing, we are currently integrating Stripe to handle invoicing, payment splits to tradespeople, and detailed reporting features that are essential to our business model. However, we want to ensure compliance with Apple’s App Store guidelines, particularly regarding: Digital Services vs. Physical Services: Since the app facilitates consultations (virtual services), would it fall under Apple’s in-app purchase requirements, or could it qualify for exemptions, similar to apps facilitating physical services? Stripe Integration: If we continue using Stripe for payments, are we allowed to remit Apple’s 15% commission (under the Small Business Programme) while not using Apple’s payment infrastructure? Marketplace Positioning: Does positioning our app as a marketplace rather than a direct service provider exempt us from using Apple’s in-app payment system? Alternative Billing Options: If operating in regions like the EU or South Korea, where alternative billing is permitted, are there specific steps we need to follow to comply? We are seeking clarification to ensure we develop the app in a way that aligns with Apple’s expectations. If anyone has experience with similar setups or advice on communicating with Apple during the submission process, I’d greatly appreciate your input! Thank you!

Guidance on Integrating Meta Ads with Google AdMob Bidding Mediation and Testing Issues
Hello, I am currently working on integrating Meta Audience Network (Meta) with Google AdMob using bidding mediation for an iOS app. The goal is to show ads through meta , with AdMob acting as the mediation layer. I have successfully set up both the Meta SDK and Google AdMob SDK, as well as the GoogleMobileAdsMediationFacebook adapter. My AdMob and Meta accounts are both linked for mediation, and I have configured the correct placement IDs for Meta within AdMob. Currently i am creating a demo project with demo accounts i haven't added app live link as my app isn't on AppStore and haven't added any payment method. However, I am encountering a couple of issues and need some guidance: 1. Test Ads Work, but Real Ad Unit Fails: • When using test AdMob ad unit IDs, everything works fine, and ads are shown as expected. • But when I use my original AdMob ad unit ID, I get the error: “Publisher data not found.” • Does this mean my app is not fully set up or is there something else I might be missing in my configuration? • Is it necessary to go live on the App Store to get ads from the real ad unit, even for testing purposes? 2. Meta Ads via Bidding Mediation: • I have integrated Meta through AdMob’s bidding mediation system. But i am showing ads using GADBannerView is it right way to show meta ads that are mediated with google admob. If i have to show ads with FBAdView from where to get withBidPayload value for this function adView.loadAd(withBidPayload: "what_here") 3. Payment Method Requirements: • My app is still in the demo/testing phase and is not live on the App Store. I have not added any payment methods in either AdMob or Meta. • Is it necessary to add a payment method for testing purposes, or is this only required when I start monetizing and going live? I would appreciate any advice or pointers to ensure the setup is correct and to understand why the original ad unit ID isn’t working during testing. Thank you for your time and assistance!

App logout every time delete from open aps
Hi, I am testing my app with TestFlight. The app is developed with React Native Expo. Step 1: Log into the app – everything works fine. Step 2: Use the app – everything works fine. Step 3: Close the app without logging out, just close it. Step 4: Remove the app from the recent apps window. Step 5: Try to open the app again, but it requires login again. I don’t understand why the login parameters are not retained and why the app asks me to log in again. Code used for login handling: import AsyncStorage from "@react-native-async-storage/async-storage"; useEffect(() => { const loadToken = async () => { const token = await AsyncStorage.getItem(TOKEN_KEY); if(token) { axiosInstance.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${token}`; try { const response = await axiosInstance.get('/auth/check'); const data = response.data; setSession(token); setUser(data.user); } catch (e) { setSession(null); setUser(null); } } } loadToken().then(() => setIsLoading(false)); }, []); Important Note: This issue only occurs when we switch to production. In the test environment, everything works fine, and we don’t experience this problem. However, as soon as we build for production and test on multiple devices, this issue appears. Thanks in advance!

Issue with Developer
I am a startup founder based in India. Recently the iOS developer we were working with left the company in some what acrimonious circumstances. Post his departure from the company, he has made it clear that he will try to cause damage to our iOS app to the extent that it starts to crash. Even though we have removed his access, as a non tech founder, I am not sure what ways he can edit or hamper our iOS app and what measures we can take to protect the same. Please advise us with steps for us to secure our code and ensure no one can edit the same or hamper our iOS app on the app store. Thank you

Camera's settings at calibration time
Hi everyone, I am wondering under which settings the camera(s) were set by the time they were calibrated. For instance, one aspect that is easy to find is the reference resolution of the images taken when calibrating the intrinsics, this is by retrieving intrinsicMatrixReferenceDimensions. Making sure that the principal point is referenced to the by the time resolution used when the calibration was ongoing. However, recently I saw that there are focusing modes that potentially displace the lens' physical position. Settings like: AutoFocusRangeRestriction: none, near, far setFocusModeLocked: Locks the lens position at the specified value, and sets the focus mode to a locked state. My concern lies the impact this focusing lens displacements have on the intrinsic matrix parameters, if the lens is displaced, these parameters no longer describe the camera since the lens position has changed w.r.t. the lensPosition set when they were calibrated [0-1]. If my understanding is correct the AutoFocusRangeRestriction is just a range freedom the system is allowed to auto-focus and not a specific lens position. Conversely, the setFocusModeLocked does indeed fix the lensPosition to a certain value [0 - 1]. In simple words, what is the focus lensPosition the cameras were set when calibrating them for intrnisics?

FocusState Issue with TextFields in ScrollView on iPad (iOS 18.0)
When using a VStack containing two TextFields inside a ScrollView on an iPad running iOS 18.0, the FocusState of the topmost TextField does not trigger, while the second TextField's FocusState works correctly. Adding an invisible TextField on top resolves the issue, but it appears to be a bug specifically in iOS 18.0 on iPads. This issue does not occur on iOS versions below or above 18.0 (including iOS 18.1). Code that is not working struct ContentView: View { @State var text: String = "" @FocusState private var focusState: Bool var body: some View { ScrollView(.vertical, content: { VStack(spacing: 0) { TextField(text: $text) { Text("Hello, World!") } .border(focusState ? Color.red : Color.gray) .focused($focusState) .onChange(of: focusState) { oldValue, newValue in print(newValue) } .onChange(of: text) { oldValue, newValue in focusState = true } } }) .padding() } } Code that is working struct ContentView: View { @State var text: String = "" @FocusState private var focusState: Bool var body: some View { ScrollView(.vertical, content: { VStack(spacing: 0) { // Invisible Text Field TextField("", text: .constant("")) .frame(height: 0) TextField(text: $text) { Text("Hello, World!") } .border(focusState ? Color.red : Color.gray) .focused($focusState) .onChange(of: focusState) { oldValue, newValue in print(newValue) } .onChange(of: text) { oldValue, newValue in focusState = true } } }) .padding() } }

Card views and List views
My main app is CardView based w/programmatic navigation.. My secondary app is a nice EventListView w/programmatic navigation. Both are functional with no errors. I want to add an event list to my CardView app but the appearance is all wrong. See image. The blue swirl at bottom is all of my List that appears. I can post images of code, if needed. My question is this - can I combine CardViews and ListViews?

The fall of the app on the imageWithConfiguration
I have an old application. It worked at one time. Due to changes in the user environment, it is now possible to download applications from the AppStore. I built the app and sent it for review. And I received a report that my app crashed at startup. I tried to reproduce the fall for myself, but it didn't work out. In the crash log, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the app. Please help me and tell me what I should look for in the log or in the application. The crash location (which I found in the log): _UIPathLazyImageAsset imageWithConfiguration cl-1.crash cl-1-n.crash

swift编写的工程无法获取OC制作的sdk传输的数据
在使用xcode15.2与iOS14.2版本的手机进行调试时,发现OC编译的sdk无法正常传输数据给swift编写的项目。当我的手机连接xcode调试的时候,数据能够正常传输、转换。当我断开手机与xcode的连接的时候,就无法正常获取数据了。而这个问题目前我只发现在iOS14.2中。当我使用iOS17与iOS18手机调试时没有出现这个问题。请问有没有人遇到过相似的问题。

Can a Default Messaging App Handle Legacy SMS Messages on iOS
I have been reviewing the documentation on preparing your app to be the default messaging app, and I am wondering about the following: If I set my app as the default messaging app, will it be able to send and receive legacy SMS messages? Does iOS provide any SMS-specific framework or APIs to facilitate handling SMS messages directly within my app? I’d appreciate any clarification on whether iOS supports such functionality and, if so, how to integrate it into my app. Thank you!

AppStoreNotices No reply for two months
我们的App被AppStoreNotices直接下架,说我们侵权,但我们找到对应公司的负责人,他们说没有投诉过我们,是别人冒用他们的名义投诉,并且给我们开了带公章的证明文件发给AppStoreNotices。但已经两个月了,AppStoreNotices一直没有回复我们。他们没有经过仔细的审核就因为别人的诬告直接下架我们的APP,而且两个月了还不回复我们邮件,这是什么问题?请问该怎么联系上他们,有没有除了邮件外的其他方式 Our App was removed from App Store by AppStoreNotices, saying that we infringed Copyright. And we called the person in charge of the corresponding company, and they said that they had not complained about us, others had falsely complained in their name, and issued us a certification document with official seal and sent it to AppStoreNotices. But it's been two months, and AppStoreNotices hasn't gotten back to us. They removed our APP because of false accusations without careful review, and they haven't replied to our email for two months. What's the problem? How can I contact them? Is there any other way besides email
