MP3 works on simulator but not after I upload the build
Hello Everyone, I am having a problem here with my app. I developed a timer that play a sound .mp3 and the sound play every time that the timer start and finish. Everything works very well in the simulator but not on the devices after I distribute the build and install using the testflight. I saw the build content and the file is inside. However, I have no idea what I am doing wrong (if it is some option that i forgot to check or some problem in my code). Please, somebody can help me? Here is the func with the path. (I inserted the sound on the root) in the same place that we can find the Contentview. func playFinishSound() { guard let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "finish_sound", withExtension: "mp3") else { return } do { player = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: url) player?.play() } catch { print("Error playing finish sound") } } } Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate. Antonio

History and your help
Obviously I am a developer, I was also one back in the day with Borland when they came out with great alternatives to Microsoft! Back then we had two people in a garage trying to develop a tinkerer version of this revolutionary small version of a device to rival the big bucks vaz and huge mainframes. Prts were cheap, we didn’t have disk drives, just tapes. And in concert with someone with Apple in charlotte We d v loped a contacts database to be saved on tape. Then later with Borland I met with a developer to install the correct hp laser jet driver to print. I was main online Compuserve to support a programmable word processor which had its own language. then the Internet came, RjJ Reynolds donated multimultiple lIBM IPCs to our ham club, Grinos came out in C, so I modified it for packet radio across th the repeaters in NC. So I left law school and went working on an Apple //e at a local retailer. I’d replace power supplies and graphics chips for 16 and 64 k computers, occasionally the accountant who needed amore screen. All great but bills were just bareable at that income level. Like the Raspberry Pi’s of today (which I just created. again unfortunately my MacBook Pro 16” display developed a screen went south but plugging in an hdmi to close monitor works, almost. So I call Apple support send me to Greensboro Apple Genius Bar because I have AppleCare, but she continently forg ts to write that in her notes. So when I’m at the store, the do find an issue with my brand new iPhone 15 with AppleCare but I have no proof so they will fix my MacBook Pro. My main development machine. I just published a new apple book last month on it. im 66 now in impermanent housing trying to make myself worthwhile to the community, yet I can’t. I can at best submit a formal complaint to Apple and “hope it gets to the right channels” just like when the first Apple Music rollout deleted 4000 songs because they weren’t in iTunes Match. Apple sent two puzzled techs out for Pinkerton had thousands of followers, but not me. I got from executive support “ we don’t need user input”. And it’s now true: woz is gone, all feedback goes to a robot and the live people ”forget to write down crucial info”. so it all boils down to how will I learn swift with Xcode and use the 15 to upload to the Vision Pro (when I can afford it) when even the newest Mac beta was too big to fit on my MacBook Pro with moving files to the cloud.

What's happening to my phone?
The model name of my iPhone is SE3, and the iOS version is 17.3.1. Also, I am using a Samsung laptop with Windows 11. I uploaded photos from my iPhone to my laptop using an 8-pin USB. But the photo folder address is strange. It's written in unknown Chinese. -> f䴀M* This is the file name. It says 0 bytes out of 257TB are available. My iPhone has 6 4GB. Do you know what file that is?

Accelerometer devices
I am writing a bachelor thesis and I have to know which accelerometer chip is used in iPhone 12, 14 and 15, but I cannot find any information regarding that. I found out in an article that the original iPhone uses LIS302DL, but iPhone 3G and 4 uses LIS331DL.

App Submission Rejected - Unable to replicate bug
Apple rejected my app store submission (first submission of this app) with the following comment: Issue Description: The app exhibited one or more bugs that would negatively impact App Store users. Bug description: The app opens to a black display Steps to reproduce bug: Launch app. Review device details: - Device type: iPhone 13 mini - OS version: iOS 17.4.1 Next Steps: Test the app on supported devices to identify and resolve bugs and stability issues before submitting for review. No other details given on specific scenarios. No logs provided. We asked for more info but they refused to help any further. I just so happen to have that exact device (iPhone 13 mini), so I updated it to the iOS version that was giving problems. But no matter what I do, I cannot replicate this bug. I tried via TestFlight and via Xcode, I tried deleting and reinstalling the app, and I tried restarting my phone between installs. I tried launching the app while on airplane mode. I never got this "app opens to a black display" issue. What else can I try to replicate this bug? The app is built with Unity 2021.3.19f1.

Problem Specific to DuckDuckGo Browser on MacBook Pro
I had DuckDuckGo browser installed and working fine on my MacBook Pro for years. Currently DDG Verion 1.85.0, MBP M2 Max Sonoma 14.4.1 Up until two days ago everything worked fine. Then, while using DDG to access a Copyright.gov site a security alert popped up. Now, because I followed a link from an email from the copyright.gov office, I suspected it might be suspicious so I hit escape until it canceled the load and exited DDG. I used the browser successfully the rest of the day with no issues. The following day DDG would not open any websites I tried except two (google and duotrope.com) The next day, no website would open. The error message I received was "DuckDuckGo Can't Load This Page" and "The network connection was lost" There is no problem with my network. All email, other browsers, streaming services, everything works fine. But not DDG. I have reinstalled DDG several times, deleting any remaining DDG files I could fine, in between. I even tried it in safe mode and I rebooted the WiFi router. Still the same error. I've checked network settings, keychain permissions, antivirus permissions (I use intego) I cannot seem to figure out what could be causing the issue. I have another MacBook Pro with DDG installed and it works fine. I tried copying that one to this MBP and I get the same error. Hell, at this point I'd light incense candles and sacrifice a chicken if it would work. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing my issue?

App Crash reoprt
Hi, I am a rookie is development. Whenever my App crashes (App on TestFlight), Unless the user does not provide feedback, I do not know about the crash. How can I find it? I do not get any crash reports or logs. How can I get them? In most of the cases my app is running in the background. Best, Rajnish

We need more RAM
Posting this on behalf of my colleague, who has a project in mind that requires a huge amount of RAM. Is it true that modern Mac Pro's can only have up to 192GB of RAM which is about 8 times less than 5 years old intel based Mac Pros?

System Preferences does ABSOLUTELY nothing anymore
My Macbook Air mid-2013 model running MacOS Big Sur 11.7.10 has its system preference broken. The padlock to make changes doesn't do anything when clicked and so does every other tab or setting. Now, I can get into panels like Sound or Accessibilities, but everything that I SHOULD be able to do within them just... doesn't work. Nothing happens when I click on them. It's like they're just images.

Lifted blacks on Apple Silicon monitor output
When rendering gradient of luma values you can clearly see that the monitor output from Apple Silicon GPU has lifted/curved blacks (values 0-31 out of 1024 in 10-bit output). Any idea what is going on and how to remediate? It looks like some kind of compensation/calibration for the screen panel response, but it is baked into output regardless of what kind of monitor (or non-monitor) is connected. The same rendering on Intel architecture produces correct linear gradation. We have tried M1, M2, M3 and they all seem to be affected.
