How to Resolve “Please Contact Your Company Administrator” Error on a Refurbished iPad
Message: Hello, I recently bought a refurbished iPad on BackMarket, a marketplace similar to Amazon. This iPad was previously owned by a company, but it has no MDM (Mobile Device Management) restrictions. When I tried to trade it in at an Apple Store, the staff encountered an error message saying, “Please contact an administrator of your company,” which blocked the trade-in process. I’m puzzled as to why this issue is occurring, especially since the device doesn’t seem to be under any MDM control. Apple Support wasn’t able to assist, and both Apple’s Technical Service and the Apple Enterprise Support have said they can’t help either—even though I can prove ownership with my purchase invoice. Maybe I chatted with some lazy employee, which happened several times, when pushing I could always go further into solving problems. Is there a specific service or procedure for removing this iPad from the company’s list of associated devices? Any guidance would be appreciated! Thank you.

Looking for suggestions on writing a spreadsheet type app
I’m retired programmer. I did most of my work in C. Did some C++. And Ruby is my favorite language. I did Macintosh development back in 1985 when the first Mac came out and have not done much UI coding since. I did mostly device drivers. I did a lot of Ruby on Rails work from 2007 to 2015. I am considering writing a spreadsheet app. Some items I would like to implement is the ability for what is displayed to be more complex than what Numbers (for example) allows. I would also like to implement the concept of Units like the old HP calculators did. Ultimately I would like users to be able to create functions easily. If possible, I’m leaning towards using Ruby as the language that these functions could be written in but that is just an example. It would be best to assume I’ve not done any macOS development since what little I have done is centuries old. What language would you suggest I use? Are there perhaps a few skeleton applications that I could start from? My main bewilderment is how to create a window, put elements in it, make the elements interactive, etc.

Clarification on PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression Behavior
We are implementing a feature that uses PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression to prevent the Wallet from appearing when unlocking a lock. We have already completed the approval process for the entitlement to enable Pass Presentation Suppression. In most cases, our code snippet works as expected, and the result is .success. However, we are also encountering other results, such as .denied, .alreadyPresenteding, and .cancelled, .notSupported, which cause the Wallet to appear for users. Here's the code snippet we're using: PKPassLibrary.requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression { result in logger.log( .info, "PKPassLibrary suppression result: \(result.description)", LogContext.homeFeature ) } We would appreciate clarification on the following points: Could you explain the meaning of each result type (.denied, .alreadyPresenting, .canceled, .notSupported) beyond what is mentioned in the documentation? The documentation here does not provide additional details. What is the recommended handling for these specific result states? Should we be taking different actions or retries based on each case? ThankS!

iPhone 15 Pro Magsafe Problem
I have a problem where my Anker 321 MagGo stopped charging my iPhone 15 Pro wirelessly. I can charge it via cable, but I can't use Magsafe. I think it can be about the IOS 18.2 Beta 2 update, but I'm not sure. Is there anyone have the same problem? Or do you have any suggestions for me?

Accessing and changing NTFS Extended Attributes
I need to be able to access programmatically the NTFS Extended File Attributes of a remote Windows file server, specifically Title and Genre. (When these files are imported into Apple TV Library it includes these attributes for easy sorting). I'm planing on creating a Python program to access the files. Given that, how would I change these attributes programmatically?

How to Implement Background Fetch in iOS App for Periodic Data Updates?
Hi everyone, I’m working on an iOS app and I need to implement background fetch to periodically update data even when the app is in the background. I’ve enabled Background Fetch in the capabilities, but I’m not sure how to properly set up the fetch intervals and ensure reliable data updates without draining too much battery. What’s the best approach to set the frequency of background fetches? Are there any specific best practices to optimize battery usage while using background fetch? Is there a way to ensure the fetch runs more frequently for time-sensitive data? Any advice or code examples would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.
