How do I make a link to a specific answer instead of the entire post?
How do I get the answer id of an answer in a thread? I would like to know how to create a link to a specific answer of a post so I can refer to a specific answer rather than to the top of the page of the post. I noticed one link went to this address - https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/67535?answerId=195112022#195112022. That's where I learned about the "answerId" item.

FxPlug API and camera data
Hi thereQuite new to the FxPlug SDK and had a look through it. I wondered whether there was a way for a plug-in to set and get the positions of tracked points that the user has set up (in a behaviour object) and whether it was possible to set keyframes on the active camera via this interface.I can't see anything obvious in the methods, apart from a 4x4 matrix object that might relate to the active camera, I don't know, but wondered whether it might be possible if the user e.g. dropped the active camera object onto the plug-in in the Inspector view... could we get a handle on it then? Similarly if they drop an Analyze motion behaviour onto the plug in, can we get access to its track points?Any examples that are knocking about would be very useful. Seems a lot of the documentation is a little out of date (at least that I've found so far).In hope and with thanks,

iPhone for testing
I am preparing to use an iPhone 5 to use for testing apps with XCode. I have restored the iPhone to factory settings without using a passcode. Now the iPhone and iTunes are asking for an Apple ID to activate the iPhone -- the Apple ID associated with this iPhone. That Apple ID is already being used with another iPhone. What should I do? Is there a way to bypass using an Apple ID altogether? Can one Apple ID be used with two different iPhones?

How to expose custom parameters to FCPX via Motion
I have created a custom parameter via the FxParameterCreationAPI and it shows up and works fine in motion.I'd like to expose that parameter to Final Cut Pro using a motion effect template but, I can't select the "Publish parameter" menu entry like it's the case with standard parameter types. The same also happens for the OptionsDialog example in the FxPlug SDK.Any hints on how I can achieve that?Thanks.Best,Ray

Forum full of spammers
Hello Apple, I would like to say that the forum is really full of spam messages saying “call” “girls” please provide to delete them because they’re very irritating. I really think that this space is for developers, for who has some doubts and so they can receive help, but despite there are some people like the spammers who doesn’t care about anything. Please Apple help us.

USB role reversal with Lightning to Type C cable
Hi,My company is an MFi licesee. We develop audio accessories. Our newest product will feature a USB Type-C receptacle and typically appear as a USB 2.0 device on it. The product interfaces iPhone/computer/other smartphone to hifi kits with stunning sound quality.Here is my question: Is it possible to implement USB Role Reversal on such a receptacle in combination with your USB-C to Lightning cable (A1702)?By this I mean have the USB-C receptacle on my device accept the USB-C plug on the A1702 (which is probably hardcoded with resistors to appear as a USB-C device itself), negotiate with an MFi chip in my product, and then switch to device role.At the same time, the default configuration of the USB-C receptacle should be to appear as a device when interfacing computers and Android units.I am searching for convenient ways to use iPhones with my product. The present solution (camera adapter + USB A to C cable) is not very user friendly.Best regards,Børge

Apple, surely it is possible to block some of these these spam posts?
The spamming of this forum, and the time taken to remove the offending posts, has become ridiculous. Surely some basic level of filtering is already in place? Please also disallow: Any title containing a long (phone) number Any title containing the words "Call" AND "Girls" Rapidly repeated posts by the same user, with very similar titles ...and once the spammers have worked around that, block whatever they come up with next. Is it so hard?

No email notification for answers to own posts
It's been known for at least 4 months that there is no email notification for answers to own posts, like an Apple engineer confirmed here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/656787?login=true Why does it take so long to fix a basic issue like this? How long will we have to check daily for new answers without being able to count on a simple notification?

Suggestion. More replies from Apple team
Hi, I suggest Apple to more frequently reply to software developers. My previous replies didn't get any reply or help from Apple. Also many questions from other developers were not answered. I guess that so large company can pay more attention to their sofware developers. We really need more help and replies from Apple to create good software apps for macOS and iOS.

Please fix the "remember me" feature
Every day I visit the forums I have to sign in again despite having ticked the "remember me" check box on the login form. Having to sign in again to make the simplest action of upvoting an answer makes me not want to bother. Safari Version 13.1.1 (15609.2.9.1.2) macOS Catalina 10.15.5 (19F101)

Apple mail cosmetic issue
El Capitan Apple Mail occasionally leaves around a GUI artifact that contains the last read email's sender's email address. I see this often. It pollutes any open window in its path.Has anyone else seen this? The workaround is to quit and reopen Apple Mail.

Sort by date after searching
It’d be great if we could sort by date when searching the forums. Especially post WWDC where everything you want to see will most likely be posted in the last couple weeks. For example when searching for ‘swift playgrounds’ most of the items are from years ago when I really just want to see the last few weeks.
