Hello Apple Developer Community, I am encountering an issue with app icon rendering after updating an app on devices running iOS 18 or newer. Below are the details: Issue Summary: When updating an app from a previous version (with separate light and dark mode icons) to the latest version (where both modes use the same icon), the icon changes are not reflected consistently across all system menus. Steps to Reproduce: Set the device mode to Dark Mode. Install the previous app version (with different icons for light and dark modes). Update the app to the latest version (where both modes use the same icon). Change the device mode to Light Mode. Switch back to Dark Mode. Expected Behavior: The app icon should remain consistent across all system menus (Home Screen, Spotlight search, etc.) when switching between Light and Dark Modes. Observed Behavior: The app icon displays correctly on the Home Screen but inconsistencies appear in other menus, such as Spotlight search or when toggling between modes. For instance, in Dark Mode, the icon may revert to the previous black-colored logo or display incorrectly compared to the updated design. Additional Notes: The asset catalog is configured correctly, with identical icons set for both light and dark modes in the latest app version. Incrementing the build number was implemented during the update. A manual device restart resolves the issue on some devices, but not consistently. Questions for the Community: Has anyone else experienced similar app icon caching or rendering issues in iOS 18 or later? Are there known workarounds or specific configurations to ensure consistent icon rendering across all system menus? Could this be related to iOS 18's icon caching or appearance handling mechanisms? Your insights and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time!

The dividing lines of List Section overlap, which is uncomfortable to look at. Look at the line under "Incomplete"

I have an iOS App which looks great on iPhone, portrait only, which makes a lot of use of UITableViews. On iPad those tables look stretched out in Landscape. On MacOS with Apple Silicon the app can be resized to any size and the table views look very stretched. There are views in the App which users want to resize so limiting app size not an option. I've been modifying the app's table views to limit their width and centre them using constraints. This isn't easy, it's a lot of work as UITableViewController doesn't allow for constraining the table width. Or does it? So I've changed them to UIViewControllers with UITableView imbedded in the root UIView with constraints. Looks really nice. Now I've just run into the limitation that static tables, which I have a number of, aren't allowed to be embedded. So how can I limit the width of them? I really don't want to add a lot of dynamic code. Please tell me there's an simpler, more elegant method to what really makes a much more aesthetically pleasing UI on iOS App running on iPad and MacOS? TIA!

Hello everyone, I just want to offer you image modifications that seem useful to get out of a version that has not evolved since the iPhone 3GS/4. The addition of options without redesign after a few years creates a "kind of tidy mess". I arrive from android having not had an iPhone since the 3GS, I am shocked to find the same interface as at the time. (I'm not criticizing, it's an observation). And I'm surprised by the lack of some essential options such as the right back, the missing numeric line in the keyboard, or the missing Touch ID (I don't want to record my face). So since I have been offering improvements to android and these applications, as well as play store applications, for years, and I love doing it, I naturally started thinking about Apple improvements. I let you take part in these different ideas (in French, Google translation can translate the images if you wish). Thank you all for your constructive opinions. Best to you. https://goopics.net/a/4r0fqeqw

I developed a watchOS app to capture gyro data, save it in real-time as a CSV file, and send it to an iOS app. However, when I start writing with the watch on, the screen dims, and it stops working. It only resumes operation when I tap the screen again. Is there a way to let it run in the background and transmit files in real-time, even when the screen is off?

This question came up, a customer wants to add payment, with gesture, to their app. This gesture is a swipe, from bottom to top (like when minimizing applications). The question immediately arose, will the application pass the review with such UI/UX ? Will there be any problems ? I'm not talking about problems when the user can minimize the application when paying, or pay (accidentally) when minimizing. I want to know if there will be any problems from Apple's rules when releasing the app ? I haven't found the exact information yet

I'm new to developing with SwiftUI and I created a Pomodoro app for macOS that runs in the menu bar. I added 4 animations and when the user selects the snow animation, it starts snowing on the screen. But the app uses 20%-30% of the CPU and has high energy consumption. I can't reduce it and I couldn't find a solution. // snow animation import SwiftUI struct SnowflakeView: View { @State private var flakeYPosition: CGFloat = -100 @State private var isAnimating = false private let flakeSize: CGFloat = CGFloat.random(in: 10...30) private let flakeColor: Color = Color( red: Double.random(in: 0.8...1), green: Double.random(in: 0.9...1), blue: Double.random(in: 1...1), opacity: Double.random(in: 0.6...0.8) ) private let animationDuration: Double = Double.random(in: 1...3) private let flakeXPosition: CGFloat = CGFloat.random(in: 0...310) var body: some View { Text("❄️") .font(.system(size: flakeSize)) .foregroundColor(flakeColor) .position(x: flakeXPosition, y: flakeYPosition) .onAppear { if !isAnimating { withAnimation(Animation.linear(duration: animationDuration).repeatForever(autoreverses: false)) { flakeYPosition = 280 + 50 } isAnimating = true } } } } I also have how I run the animation below. ZStack { ForEach(0..<10, id: \.self) { index in if selectedAnimal == "Snow" { SnowflakeView() } else if selectedAnimal == "Rain" { RainDropAnimation() }else if selectedAnimal == "Leaf"{ LeafFallAnimation() }else if selectedAnimal == "Confetti"{ ConfettiAnimation() } } }

Hello In the past, the documentation and specifically design guidelines were quite clear about the fact that having an exit button was not a good thing, and programmatically exiting the app was prohibited and ground to rejection by the review team. Looking though the documentation and guidelines nowadays, I cannot find any explicit mention of this. We have a client that want us to add such button on the main menu of an app, and we are looking to hard evidence that this is against standards. Has Apple stance on this changed ? Or have I missed it in the doc somewhere ?

Hi, my name is Yuki. I'm developing an application with generative AI for junior and high school students based on the Nocode tool "bubble" (BDK Native). I want to upload this app to the App Store, however, a notch-like interface element is appearing only in the iPad environment, which is causing my app to fail App Store review. I've reached out to the BDK Native support team about this issue, but they were unable to identify the cause and only offered a refund as a solution. This is particularly frustrating as I'm unable to proceed with the App Store publication, and time is passing without a resolution. Technical details: The notch appears only on iPad devices The issue is not present on iPhone versions The app was built using bubble/BDK Native Multiple App Store submissions have been rejected due to this UI issue Has anyone encountered a similar issue or knows how to resolve this iPad-specific interface problem? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as this is blocking our app's release. Thank you in advance for your help!

I created an app for fine art for iOS and for the screenshots, I originally had art by actual artist so it was denied by Apple: under the guideline 2.5.10 – performance – software requirements. "To resolve this issue, please revise your app to complete remove or fully configure any partially implemented features. Please ensure your screenshots do not include any images of demo, test, or any incomplete content. To resolve this issue, please revise your app to complete, remove, or fully configure any partially implemented features. Please ensure your screenshots do not include any images of demo, test, or other incomplete content." This is what Apple reviewer said, so I removed the screenshots of the actual artwork and replace them with the app's logo and I am still getting denied. I don’t know what to do, complete removal of any images would hinder showing off the app features. I asked them to clarify and they repeated the statement above.

I have an app for musicians that works with Songs and Setlists. The logical structure is as follows: A Setlist contains Songs. A Song has Sections, which include Lines (chords & lyrics). I want to view my Setlist in a "Page View," similar to a book where I can swipe through pages. In this view, the Song Sections are wrapped into columns to save screen space. I use a ColumnsLayout to calculate and render the columns, and then a SplitToPages modifier to divide these columns into pages. Problem: The TabView sometimes behaves unexpectedly when a song spans multiple pages during rendering. This results in a transition that is either not smooth or stops between songs. Is there a better way to implement this behavior? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. struct TestPageView: View { struct SongWithSections: Identifiable { var id = UUID() var title: String var section: [String] } var songSetlistSample: [SongWithSections] { var songs: [SongWithSections] = [] //songs for i in 0...3 { var sections: [String] = [] for _ in 0...20 { sections.append(randomSection() + "\n\n") } songs.append(SongWithSections(title: "Song \(i)", section: sections)) } return songs } func randomSection() -> String { var randomSection = "" for _ in 0...15 { randomSection.append(String((0..<Int.random(in: 3..<10)).map{ _ in "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz".randomElement()! }) + " ") } return randomSection } var body: some View { GeometryReader {geo in TabView { ForEach(songSetlistSample, id:\.id) {song in let columnWidth = geo.size.width / 2 //song ColumnsLayout(columns: 2, columnWidth: columnWidth, height: geo.size.height) { Text(song.title) .font(.largeTitle) ForEach(song.section, id:\.self) {section in Text(section) } } .modifier(SplitToPages(pageWidth: geo.size.width, id: song.id)) } } .tabViewStyle(PageTabViewStyle(indexDisplayMode: .never)) } } } public struct ColumnsLayout: Layout { var columns: Int let columnWidth: CGFloat let height: CGFloat let spacing: CGFloat = 10 public static var layoutProperties: LayoutProperties { var properties = LayoutProperties() properties.stackOrientation = .vertical return properties } struct Column { var elements: [(index: Int, size: CGSize, yOffset: CGFloat)] = [] var xOffset: CGFloat = .zero var height: CGFloat = .zero } public func sizeThatFits(proposal: ProposedViewSize, subviews: Subviews, cache: inout Cache) -> CGSize { let columns = arrangeColumns(proposal: proposal, subviews: subviews, cache: &cache) guard let maxHeight = columns.map({ $0.height}).max() else {return CGSize.zero} let width = Double(columns.count) * self.columnWidth return CGSize(width: width, height: maxHeight) } public func placeSubviews(in bounds: CGRect, proposal: ProposedViewSize, subviews: Subviews, cache: inout Cache) { let columns = arrangeColumns(proposal: proposal, subviews: subviews, cache: &cache) for column in columns { for element in column.elements { let x: CGFloat = column.xOffset let y: CGFloat = element.yOffset let point = CGPoint(x: x + bounds.minX, y: y + bounds.minY) let proposal = ProposedViewSize(width: self.columnWidth, height: proposal.height ?? 100) subviews[element.index].place(at: point, anchor: .topLeading, proposal: proposal) } } } private func arrangeColumns(proposal: ProposedViewSize, subviews: Subviews, cache: inout Cache) -> [Column] { var currentColumn = Column() var columns = [Column]() var colNumber = 0 var currentY = 0.0 for index in subviews.indices { let proposal = ProposedViewSize(width: self.columnWidth, height: proposal.height ?? 100) let size = subviews[index].sizeThatFits(proposal) let spacing = size.height > 0 ? spacing : 0 if currentY + size.height > height { currentColumn.height = currentY columns.append(currentColumn) colNumber += 1 currentColumn = Column() currentColumn.xOffset = Double(colNumber) * (self.columnWidth) currentY = 0.0 } currentColumn.elements.append((index, size, currentY)) currentY += size.height + spacing } currentColumn.height = currentY columns.append(currentColumn) return columns } } struct SplitToPages: ViewModifier { let pageWidth: CGFloat let id: UUID @State private var pages = 1 func body(content: Content) -> some View { let contentWithGeometry = content .background( GeometryReader { geometryProxy in Color.clear .onChange(of: geometryProxy.size) {newSize in guard newSize.width > 0, pageWidth > 0 else {return} pages = Int(ceil(newSize.width / pageWidth)) } .onAppear { guard geometryProxy.size.width > 0, pageWidth > 0 else {return} pages = Int(ceil(geometryProxy.size.width / pageWidth)) } }) Group { ForEach(0..<pages, id:\.self) {p in ZStack(alignment: .topLeading) { contentWithGeometry .offset(x: -Double(p) * pageWidth, y: 0) .frame(width: pageWidth, alignment: .leading) VStack { Spacer() HStack { Spacer() Text("\(p + 1) of \(pages)") .padding([.leading, .trailing]) } } } .id(id.description + p.description) } } } }

Hi, I have a view that should do the following: Set up and confirm a passcode upon account creation. Verify passcode if signing in. Reset passcode if prompted. With the code below, functions 1 and 2 are working. However, I'm having an issue with function 3. I am able to declare the reset UserDefault on a previous view so that the proper logic occurs, which is to read in the input, and then confirm it. However, it is not working as intended. In this code here: else if reset { UserDefaults.standard.set(passcode, forKey: "new-passcode") UserDefaults.standard.set(false, forKey: "reset-passcode") passcode = "" } I store the new passcode, set reset to false, and clear the passcode so it can be entered again to confirm. The code does not run as intended however. The title does not change and I'm unsure if it is actually storing the passcode. And, when re-entering, it does not change the view as it should by setting view = .someView. I'm assuming there is just flaw in my logic but I'm not sure how to resolve this. Below is the full code. Please let me know if any further clarification is needed. struct EnterPasscode: View { @State var title = "" @State var passcode = "" @State var message = "" @State var buttonState = false @Binding var view: Views var body: some View { Group { Spacer() .frame(height: 50) Text(title) .font(.system(size: 36)) .multilineTextAlignment(.center) .frame(height: 50) Spacer() if passcode != "" { Text("\(passcode)") .font(.system(size: 24)) .frame(height: 25) } else { Spacer() .frame(height: 25) } Spacer() .frame(height: 50) PasscodeKeypad(passcode: $passcode) Spacer() if message != "" { Text(message) .frame(height: 25) .foregroundStyle(Color.red) } else { Spacer() .frame(height: 25) } Spacer() WideButton(text: "Continue", buttonFunction: .functional, openView: .enterPasscode, view: .constant(.enterPasscode), buttonState: $buttonState) .onChange(of: buttonState) { oldState, newState in if buttonState { let passcodeSet = UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "passcode-set") let storedPasscode = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "passcode") let reset = UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "passcode-reset") let newPasscode = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "new-passcode") print(reset) if passcode.count == 4 { if storedPasscode == nil { if newPasscode == nil { UserDefaults.standard.set(passcode, forKey: "new-passcode") passcode = "" } else if passcode == newPasscode { UserDefaults.standard.set(passcode, forKey: "passcode") UserDefaults.standard.set(true, forKey: "passcode-set") view = .someView } } else if reset { UserDefaults.standard.set(passcode, forKey: "new-passcode") UserDefaults.standard.set(false, forKey: "reset-passcode") passcode = "" } else if newPasscode != nil { if passcode == newPasscode { UserDefaults.standard.set(passcode, forKey: "passcode") view = .someView } } } checkPasscodeStatus() buttonState = false } } Spacer() if !UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "passcode-reset") && UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "passcode-set") { Button(action: { view = .verifyPhone }) { Text("Forgot passcode?") .foregroundStyle(.black) } } Spacer() .frame(height: 25) } .onAppear() { checkPasscodeStatus() } .frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width - 50) } func checkPasscodeStatus() { let passcodeSet = UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "passcode-set") let storedPasscode = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "passcode") let reset = UserDefaults.standard.bool(forKey: "passcode-reset") if reset { title = "Enter new passcode" } else if passcodeSet { title = "Enter Passcode" } else if storedPasscode != nil && storedPasscode != "" { title = "Confirm Passcode" } else { title = "Select a 4 Digit Passcode" } } } struct WideButton: View { @State var text: String @State var buttonFunction: ButtonType @State var openView: Views? @Binding var view: Views @Binding var buttonState: Bool var body: some View { Button(action: { buttonPressed() }, label: { ZStack { RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 5) .fill(Color.black) .frame(width: UIScreen.main.bounds.width - 50, height: 50) Text(text) .foregroundColor(.white) } }) } func buttonPressed() { switch buttonFunction { case .openView: view = openView! case .functional: buttonState = true } } } enum ButtonType { case openView case functional }

The format of photos on the new iOS 18 and its updates is HORRIBLE. Not userfriendly, not easy to navigate, not even appealing to the eye. I can’t even see my favorites album anymore and have to search for it every time. In short, I hate it. Well done Apple

I want to know why there is no video frame data when RePlaykit enters the background and then enters the foreground?

Hello again , i'm Enrik Sulaj .How can i find how to solve the problem ? Its almost impossible to solve by just guessing it . The app review need to be specific too .They just say "we cant provide" , how can i find the problem by myself if they created it and cant give me specified proof that i violated 4.3.0 Design-Spam ? If i did something it need facts to be proven . If there are no facts , there is not a problem . If there is a problem , with full details which object is duplicated it will be fixed soon . But there is not facts , not proofs , not a single detail , just random things . My 2 games are taking longer time waiting to be published , but apple review team reject games with not an single detail how to fix . The just keep rejecting without showing facts , real reasons and without giving helpful support .I disagree with their decision .

Hello Apple Dev Team, I’m seeking guidance on how to ensure full compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines, specifically section 3.1.1 (In-App Purchase). In-App Purchase Mechanisms: I want to verify that my app is correctly using in-app purchases to unlock premium content, rather than alternative mechanisms. The guidelines outline various restrictions on unlocking content (e.g., license keys, QR codes, cryptocurrency). If I follow all of these restrictions, would Apple require anything else specific to prove compliance? Subscription Handling Across Platforms: Our app plans to offer a subscription service where users could subscribe on Android and then access the content on iOS with the same credentials (similar to Netflix). Users should also have the option to manage (including canceling) their subscription directly from their iOS device. Are there any specific requirements or precautions I should take to facilitate this cross-platform subscription access while remaining compliant? Restoring Purchases: I see that in-app purchases must have a restore mechanism. Could you confirm if Apple expects any specific UX or technical standards here, particularly if there are multiple types of IAPs? I’d appreciate any insights or examples from other apps that meet these requirements successfully. Thanks in advance! This should help clarify your approach, ensuring alignment with Apple’s guidelines.
