My project requires the on-device apple intelligence models (FoundationModels) which are only available for iPad on iPad Pro M1 and later, iPad Air M1 and later, iPad mini A17 Pro. If they don't judge on one of these devices, my project might not work properly as FoundationModels is a pretty big part of my project. For this reason I really need to know what devices the Swift Student Challenge will be judged on.

To access App Store Connect, you must be an individual or team member in the Apple Developer Program, or invited by an individual to access their content in App Store Connect But my apple status is developer

Hello, Our messaging app was rejected with guidelines 4.0 and 4.2.3 for using wallet authentication. Rejection reasons: "App uses web browser to sign in" we use deep links to native wallet apps, but they fallback to browser when wallets aren't installed "Requires users to download external apps" (Phantom/Solflare/Backpack wallets) Our situation: Wallet authentication is identity verification users sign with their private key There's no username/password alternative - the wallet address IS the identity Similar Web3 apps are approved on the App Store. Or like similar to whatsapp using phone number as the authentication to start with. What's the recommended implementation for wallet-based auth on iOS? Should we just provide a demo mode for reviewers like they suggested for? If so, how do we handle features requiring a real wallet. And can we remove that on later versions of the app? Is there a way to satisfy these guidelines while maintaining wallet authentication? Thank you.

I have an app with a small but devoted following. It has not been upgraded since 2022 and has been working very well. On iOS 26 it crashes almost at startup. After hooking up to Xcode and running I get this message in the console: objc[64686]: Class PSSegment is implemented in both /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PolarisGraph.framework/PolarisGraph (0x291ed9f78) and /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/08486FCF-548A-467C-8BA3-D722734463FC/HikeTracker.app/HikeTracker.debug.dylib (0x101d309e8). This may cause spurious casting failures and mysterious crashes. One of the duplicates must be removed or renamed. PSSegment is the name of an entity in my Core Data managed object model. If I refactor it to P_Segment the app starts. PolarisGraph means nothing to me. The "PS" stands for Persistent Store, but in this case it seems that PolarisGraph is PSing in my sandbox. How can this happen? I'll attach the longer message that comes with the crash. error messages.txt

Hi everyone, I am currently developing an app for my Swift Student Challenge submission. One of the key features of my app is visualizing user progress over time using SwiftData and Swift Charts. I have a concern regarding the first-time experience for the reviewer. Since the app relies on accumulated data to display meaningful trends, the dashboard/charts will appear empty on the very first launch, which might not fully showcase the visualization logic I’ve implemented. To ensure the reviewer can immediately grasp the app's potential within their limited review window, I am considering generating pre-populated sample data (mock data) only on the initial launch. Does Apple generally recommend including sample data in a challenge submission to better demonstrate UI/UX and data visualization capabilities? Or is it strictly preferred to present a "fresh" empty state, as a real first-time user would see it? I want to make sure I am following the best practices for the challenge while highlighting my technical implementation of the SwiftData and Charts frameworks. Thank you in advance for your advice!

I am not receiving any replies back for a request for entitlements I made a month ago, cant get a status or a response on any post, email, support ticket I create, what can I do?

👋Hi, I want to ask what equipment the auditors in SSC will use to evaluate students' playground, whether it is iPad pro and mac with camera, or something else. And what system will they use, iPadOS/macOS 26 or something else? Looking forward to your reply. Thank you

I am frustrated with the slow response from the support. I kept paying 4 times for my developer account from 31/12 (3 days ago) and my bank card actually got charged €396. It was because when I logged in, I kept seeing the button Purchase now, although I paid previously. I thought the payment did not come through. Does anyone face the same issue before? What is the best way to reach the support people? Thanks.

I am developing a Cloud Sharing app, but I have been unable to find a solution to this problem. CKContainer.requestApplicationPermission(.userDiscoverability) was deprecated in iOS17. However, without it I find that none of the following APIs return a user's RecordID: CKContainer.default().shareParticipants(forEmailAddresses: [emailAddress]) CKContainer.default().userIdentity(forEmailAddress: emailAddress) (deprecated) CKContainer.default().discoverUserIdentity(withEmailAddress: emailAddress) (deprecated) CKFetchShareParticipantsOperation(userIdentityLookupInfos: lookupInfo ) For users who have given permission in response to CKContainer.requestApplicationPermission(.userDiscoverability), these APIs return the user's RecordID in the response's CKUserIdentity. But for user's who have not been asked for permission, their CKUserIdentity does not contain their user RecordID. After iOS17, how can we ensure that the response's CKUserUserIdentity contains the user's RecordID ? I use the user's RecordID as part of my lookup (by email address) for other users, to confirm if they have already registered with the App. If not, I need to send them an invitation using the UICloudSharingController. If they have already registered, I can set up a share with them without the 'UICloudSharingController'. Thanks for any suggestions.

Hi Everyone, I want to transfer my iPhone data from iOS 26 to iOS 18 version and I'm unable to do it. Can you help me to do it so I can keep my data. Is there any possibility to do this or any kind of trick? Thank You!

I’m concerned because my iCloud account was recently migrated to AWS (Amazon Web Service) against my will, and now it seems.like people are rummaging through my files, photos, and mail, When I try to contact Apple Support, I get bumped to a spoofed site. Calling the hotline is the same, I get a Siri operator with platitudes and gaslighting but no action. I have run sysdiagnose and it looks really sketchy. Can anyone help?

It seems I was able to previously download a Disk Image (.dmg) file to install macOS High Sierra. However, I'm now having trouble finding where to download the resource. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

I'm getting reports that my application is creating hidden files with names starting with .f and having 9 or 10 numbers after that. For example: .f678501541 .f1858565508 AFAIK I don't create any files with names like that! So how to determine a) if I am creating those files and b) exactly where in my code this is happening? Unless of course someone knows what creates files like this... Thanks, David

Hello All, I've been finally able to finish my so called Quantumsort implementation, which is basically only slightly modified Radix Sort at the basis, but utilizes the somewhat newish Apple Metal SIMD commands heavily. Or rather rather renders the threadgroup shared memory void altogether with those SIMD sharing options available. The sorting itself works "well enough" for my needs here on these Github shared main.swift and sort.metal files already, and the question relates more on it that - can someone spot would it be possible to get rid of the "sorted_temp" array memory too and use one "sorted" list only at all times..? Here's the related repository and copilots I prefer you and you and you more for haha tho : https://guthib.com/roger-more-fi/quantumsort Cheers, make it to the perfection those good last ones of '25 'aights Apple soldiers!

Hi everyone, I purchased an Apple Developer Program membership about three days ago. The payment has already been successfully charged to my bank account, but my account is still showing the status “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership.” I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information since completing the purchase. I’m curious if others have experienced a similar delay recently, and how long it took before your developer account was fully activated. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Can I use Xcode to create a playbook for soccer to design exercises and then show the exercise to the players later at practice or a game? I need to integrate the roster with game plans and designed exercises with practice.

How can I talk with a human being at Apple? Thank you, Bud Miller
