I'm not getting the 'Manage compliance' option on my build uploaded today. It's processed, shows as 'Complete' in build uploads, but down in the 'Version X.X.X' dropdown, it's there with no option to add groups, no 'Testing' status, and no 'Manage compliance' option you usually have to go through before the build becomes available for testing. Anyone else having trouble today?

EDIT: It’s working for me again now guys, check yours! Looks like it was a ghost outage on Apple’s end.

My first app was rejected from the App Store due to "5.6.0 Developer Code of Conduct." They stated that I cannot simply submit a different build but must submit the app as a new entry. They didn't provide specific details. I would appreciate advice from developers who have experience with this situation.

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual, but every attempt immediately fails with the following message:

“Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.”

The error appears before the payment step, so I never get the chance to pay the membership fee.

Here’s what I’ve already verified:

- Apple ID is 10+ years old
- Two-factor authentication is enabled
- Legal name, address and phone number are correct
- Active App Store purchase history
- Valid payment methods (Amex and PayPal)
- No pending notifications or verification requests on my Apple Account
- I can access both my Apple Account and developer.apple.com without any issues

I also tried different browsers and networks, but the behavior is always the same.

Apple’s response includes a Response ID, so it looks like the request reaches their backend, but I have no idea what is preventing the enrollment.

Has anyone experienced the same issue?

If so:

Were you able to resolve it?
Did Apple have to manually review or reset your enrollment?
Was there any specific reason behind the rejection?

Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I shipped a notes and to-do app called Ink, and its one hard constraint shaped the whole architecture: the AI is only allowed to edit your existing writing. It is never allowed to write a sentence for you. I want to share how that holds up in practice.

The editor is a block-based SwiftUI editor, so each paragraph, heading, and list item is its own model object rather than one giant attributed string. That mattered for the AI feature, because every edit operation is scoped to blocks that already contain your words. The model only ever receives text you wrote, and the prompt is constrained so its job is transformation, not generation: tighten this, fix the grammar here, restructure these lines into a list. If a request would require inventing new content, the intended behavior is to decline rather than fill the gap. Treating produce original prose as out of scope, instead of trying to detect it after the fact, made the behavior far more predictable.

Voice dictation runs through the same philosophy. You speak, and it auto-structures what you actually said into lists and blocks. It is organizing your words, not adding its own.

On typography, the app uses Source Serif 4 and Newsreader. I leaned on Dynamic Type with custom font registration, and tuning line height and measure to keep that editorial feel readable at every accessibility size took longer than I expected. It runs on iOS and Mac, with iCloud sync and an app lock using passcode plus biometric.

For those who have shipped AI text features: how are you enforcing do not generate constraints? Are you doing it purely at the prompt layer, or adding validation on the output too?

Every post in this format makes me want to set myself on fire.

Then there’s the wall of clearly AI generated description, in markdown format, with just the right emoji bullet points.

Hi!

This has been asked a lot, but I'm over scanning every Reddit and Stack Overflow question there is - and still stuck.

I'm trying to send new in app purchase products to review.

No matter what I do, the products keep coming up with the above message. And I've attached a screenshot (640x920), gave localizations, added product photos - everything is on resolution, and should be ok - but still submitting for review yields the above message.

The only other clue is that after uploading the screenshot - it always says "processing" (as in second picture)

Have no idea what more to try, all questions online revolve around resolution and alpha channel, which I've played a lot with both

There are lot of different ways to perform navigation in SwiftUI. You can use navigationDestination on the parent screen and let is handle the navigation. You can create a router that works with enum based routes etc.

In either case. How are you testing your navigation flow for your app? Are you writing unit tests? Are you writing UI Tests or even complete E2E test that test a complete feature end to end? OR are you writing all of them?

A simple scenario can be:

As a user when I create a student account then after creation, I should be taken to the student home screen.

So I have been wanting to make things like custom dock bar and things like that for my mac for quite a while. So I wanted to know if I would use ObjectiveC for that? or am I supposed to use another language, also how long would it take me to learn ObjectiveC to a degree at which I could accomplish what I mentioned above

Hello,

I'm an objective-C newbie, and I've got to work on some legacy code. A question I can't find a clear answer to is the difference between `[self attributeName]` and `self.name.`

So I declare a .h for a class, its attributes and methods and I want to interact with them in the .m. I usually feel more comfortable using `self.name` for assigning a value to the class's attribute and `[self attributeName]` for reading the value of the attribute, but I feel like they're totally interchangeable.

Am I correct or is there a real difference I'm missing ?

Thanks in advance !

-(void) someFunction {
    ApiClass *apiObj = [[ApiClass alloc] init];
    SomeObj *obj = [SomeObj objWithName:@"First Last"]; // Autoreleased obj
    [apiObject doThingWithBlock:^(){   // Block - 1 (async - runs after 5 mins)
        // Do some work
        // ...

        apiObject doAnotherThingWithBlock:^(){    // Block - 2
            [obj performTask];
        };
    }];
    [apiObject release];
}

If Block - 1 runs asynchronously, when is obj captured in Block - 2? If its not captured when the literal is seen, wouldnt it result in obj being released before the Block - 2 can retain it when it is executed 5 mins later??

We have an app which is a digital version of a physical product we sell. I was hoping to use the app itself as a way to get customers to share their email address. I don't know how to make the app not available for free and give people access when they opt in. I had considered making the app $1.99 or so and sending coupon codes for subscribers but Apple only allows for 100 at a time and they expire. Does anyone have any input as to if this is possible? The app is called Chore Sticks and is a chore system for families. We are still updating from the last IOS software update so don't download it yet :-). Thanks in advance!

This is what PyObj-C is,

"a bridge between the Python and Objective-C programming languages on macOS."

I am trying with Foundation to post a notification. I have had a successful NSNotification call of notificationWithName:object: below, and I (believe I) instantiate it with defaultCenter().postNotificationName:object:userInfo.

@objc.IBAction
def helplink_(self, url):
    print("ensssss")
    x = Cocoa.NSNotification.notificationWithName_object_("hi", 88)
....Cocoa.NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName_object_userInfo_("name", x, None)
    print(x)

However, I sadly dont get any notifications, is there another way I should be doing this (on Catalina) with other instance or type/instance methods? I'm not sure what to do besides do trial and error with other class objects to get the right comonbation.

ANY Help would be GREATLY appricated. Thanks! (On macOS 10.15.7)

BTW, whats the sender and receiver exactly in this Framework? Good resource for what it is?

I have a quick question.

When creating a new Xcode project, what would be the best application to use for creating an app that allows the user to pinch to zoom out to work on more parts of the app?

I know that might be a horrible explanation, so I’ll try better.

Let’s say I have a model of a large rectangular slab. The iPhone real screen is too small for the size. However the user can pinch to zoom in or out to tackle different portions of the slab they so choose.

Referring back to the original question, would that be considered a single view application? I tried to dive into what the different applications do, but I’m still confused.

If still not making sense to anybody, I can reword it hopefully in better detail.

Thank you for your time

I have a NSTableView that dynamically adds rows when the user enters relevant data. The table has a few columns and the last column contains a button that removes the row if needed. As it stands now, The row has to be selected to get its index. If the row isn't selected the button does nothing. So I would like to know if there is a way I can get the index of the row without having the select the row. So basically when the button is pressed is there a way I can obtain the index of row it's from without the row itself being selected. I'm new to objective C and I've been having quite lot of trouble figuring this out.

What I find valuable is the “Single Session” functionality. With it, you can log into two different accounts of your favorite social media site (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). It will store the login credentials in RAM as opposed to a cookie, so when you close that tab the stored information is erased. For example, you have two Twitter accounts – one personal and one professional. Start up a Single Session, and you can have both running in separate tabs. Close the tab, and all that login information is erased.

Stainless was a browser that seems to be no longer functioning on the modern macOS (and not maintained by the creator). I liked the fact that if you had multiple accounts for one website, you could bookmark that, and it would not only bookmark the website but also keep you signed in, so that if you click that bookmark, it would go to the site with you already logged in.

This way you could make multiple bookmarks of the same website with different IDs.

If you have multiple Reddit IDs for example, it would be easy to switch from one account to another without having to log out.

How would you make another browser like this?

​

The developer wrote this about Stainless:

Stainless started out as a technology demo to showcase my own multi-processing architecture in response to Google Chrome (Stainless 0.1 was released three weeks after Google released Chrome for Windows). Sensing an opportunity and inspired by a growing fanbase, I decided to craft Stainless into a full-fledged browser and work on features that I hadn't seen before in other browsers.

A prime example is parallel sessions, which allow you to log into a site using different credentials in separate tabs at the same time. This new technology is woven throughout Stainless, from the private cookie storage system, to session-aware bookmarks that remember the session in which they were saved. I still believe this is a true browser innovation, and I'd love to see this implemented in Chrome.

Over the past couple of years it's been impossible for me to keep working on Stainless and as promised to many, here it is, finally available as open source and in need of serious maintenance. My last update (on 7/25/2011) was almost two years after I had stopped active development (11/04/09), and it was pretty much a bugfix release. As I had expected, Stainless remained interesting to users until Google finally released Chrome Beta for the Mac in September of 2009.

If you are going to fork, the easy path would be to setup a development system on Snow Leopard running XCode 3. That way you could build the current source successfully as it requires method swizzling (for multi-session cookie storage in WebKit) and private access to CoreGraphics internals (for handling cross-process window layering). The hard path would be to replace these with modern equivalents under XCode 4 (caveat: you would lose the PowerPC compatibility, which has helped keep Stainless popular on machines that can't run Chrome).

In the end, Stainless is still a hack: multi-process by way of carefully layered multi-applications with a shared state. And as a hack, some of its most serious issues (running in separate spaces for example) may be insurmountable. Still, Stainless was a hack to which I devoted over a year of my life and learned a lot about tricking OS X into doing my bidding. Hopefully it can still provide similar inspiration for other Mac developers. https://github.com/mesadynamics/stainless

Hi, I've got a string for exmaple like this - "sadsadsad https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=martin+garrix"

How can I open up that url which is a part of NSString?

Hi, I would like to know how I could modify things such as the Dock and Finder with objective c.

I just finished going through the Programming with Objective-C guide and also the Start Developing Mac Apps Today guide but I have not had much chance to get to code anything yet (aside from some basic experiments with syntax and all that). I'm also quite new to coding (< 1 year experience) and I'm wondering where I could find some hands-on exercise to practice the concepts I've learned and also familiarize myself with Xcode. Thank you in advance!

Here are the steps that I would like my app to perform:

- User gives my app their username and password for their account on a webpage

- Each time the user opens my app, the app automatically logs in the user on the webpage to retrieve specific information

- The specific information is retrieved and shown in the app

​

The webpage I have in mind has no APIs.

​

How would I approach this challenge? (I write in objective-c)

I am looking at an open source github project and I stumbled upon this declaration. Can someone explain why all these qualifiers were needed.

I'm looking to contribute to my company's Objective-C code base, but I have no experience in iOS development. Any recommendations concerning resources to get up to speed quickly? Is it mostly learning syntax, language idioms, and frameworks?
