Localizable.strings:1:1 validation failed: Couldn't parse property list because the input data was in an invalid format

Hello, We have recently developed a Refreshable Braille Display for visually challenged people and are planning to add it in VoiceOver inside Braille Display. As far as my knowledge I think there needs to be a custom driver for the device which will help in communicating but I'm not sure how to do it? Any idea on how to proceed with it or is any documentation available that I can follow? Thanks.

I've spent 3 days moving localization from my older project to my new project and converted to Strings Catalog. When I tried to export, I got the Unable to build project for localization string extraction error. Read about that and the workaround seems to be to set Localisation Export Supported to NO, which I did. I worked once and now it refuses to export and complains about missing targets, which I had to remove from the export process as recommended. WTH? Or, at some point it complained about a missing Swift Package. wwdc2023-10155

App was rejected with: Guideline 2.3 - Performance - Accurate Metadata We were unable to locate some of the features described in your metadata. > Specifically, “Languages: English and Portuguese (PT and BR).”. My app is indeed localized in these three languages, tested and working. The app automatically adapts its language to match the user's iOS system language settings. Isn't this enough? I replied to the rejection saying this, but I find it hard to believe that the reviewer didn't change the iOS system language settings. Is it possible, or is it something else? Also, do I need to press the "Add For Review Button" so he can see my reply? Thank you.

We launched an application we created with Assistive Access enabled on iOS17, We tried to provide standard services such as Mail and Messages to users with UIActivityViewController, When selecting the Mail or Messages icon, the following error occurred "Not allowing open application request from unallowed client process." Is there anything I can do to allow the request from our process?

We launched an application we created with Assistive Access enabled on iOS17, When we tried to open a URL using the openURL method, the following error message was returned and the URL could not be opened. "Untrusted open application requests are not allowed in Assistive Access." Is there anything I can do to get them to trust our request and allow it?

Accessibility Voiceover is not treating navigation bar left button as first focused element. If we navigate from A->B then the focus is going to first element inside the B view not to the left button item.(back button) If we post accessibility notification, in viewWillAppear of B, focus is not shifting. If we post viewDidAppear then first focus is going to element inside B's view then shifting back to back button. There is a inconsistency behaviour. Can you please help here. Thanks

Our users are using Apple's native Voice Control feature: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210417 We want to enhance our accessibility experience by adding some additional voice controlled dialogs that show up specifically when Voice Control is enabled. It can be determined if other Apple accessibility features are turned on via a check like UIAccessibility.isVoiceOverRunning, however there is no option for Voice Control (note, different than Voice Over). How can I detect if a user is running Voice Control or not?

Hi all, My app is available in English and Arabic. However, when searching for the app in iOS App Store, by typing the app name in Arabic, it does not show up in the suggested apps. This occurs in English but also Arabic phone/app configuration. On the other hand, on Android I don't have this issue. Do you know what to do to fix this? We have already added the app name in the AR app store keywords / description, but it did not help as it's still not showing up. Thank you

Why o why did you have to mess with the login screen in Sonoma??? For a visually impaired person (like my wife) you have made the login/lock screen very unfriendly compared to previous releases. With Ventura and previous versions, I have the Lock Screen settings set to: List of Users Show Sleep, Restart, Shut Down buttons The avatar pics of the three users on our computers (admin, me, wife) show up as big icons in the middle of the screen, with the Sleep, Restart, Shutdown buttons in a row right beneath the icons. My wife can find her avatar, click on it, type in her password, and then get right to her magnified closeview screen. With Sonoma, she will have to deal with small moving avatar pics at the bottom of the screen, not friendly at all. And she will NEVER find the Shutdown button hidden in the upper right menu bar. Doesn't Apple test new upgrades with the accessibility community??? Sonoma is a big step backward for the visually impaired.

I've found multiple leaks in AVSpeechSynthesizer which are plaguing my users. My users are complaining of crashes due to this. Ive created a feedback item (FB12212129) with a sample project attached which demonstrates one of the leaks. I'm hoping an engineer notices this. The only way ive hade my feedback noticed in the past is by both creating a feedback item AND posting on the forums. So here's my forum post. Help is much appreciated!

I am working on an app that pulls data from weatherKit, including the conditionCode property, the content of which is displayed to the user. I wish to localize the data pulled from weatherKit but when pulling data from: weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/de/{latitude}/{longitude} The conditionCode and other strings is in english. Same is true if the language parameter is set to es, ja or something else. Am I doing something wrong or is localization yet to be supported in weatherKit? I can't find any documentation on this.
