Uses PPD file to set default value on Print Dialog

How to hide a folder or an app on iPhone 15 without using 3rd party apps?
How do I hide a folder (containing several apps) or hide an app without downloading 3rd party apps? I am envisioning a scenario where I am forced to hand over the phone to someone and unlock it, but beyond that I don't want them to know where I bank/brokerage etc. My current Apple Pay is only linked to one credit card and the email associated with my Apple ID is a random gmail which I do not use for my primary communications, or to conduct my personal medical, financial affairs. I do have apps on the iPhone for my bank and brokerage and I wish to hide these so that even if someone forces me to unlock my iPhone all they see is my credit card and I am not forced to part with more information based on the apps they see on my phone.

Apple Pencil 2nd generation
I am suffering an issue with my 45 day old Apple Pencil 2nd Gen. The double tap feature to change between pen and eraser stops working after few minutes of usage even though the battery of the Apple Pencil remains 100%. I have to connect it back to my iPad for 10-15 minutes for it to work but it stops working again after few minutes. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

Why is Add Emitter to Node not happening immediately?
Why is Add Emitter to Node not happening immediately? Within an extension to GameViewController I have: func addEmitterToNode(_ particleName: String, _ theNode:SKSpriteNode) { if let emitter = SKEmitterNode(fileNamed: particleName) { emitter.name = "emitter" emitter.position = CGPoint(x: 0, y: 0) // = at center theNode.addChild(emitter) } } // addEmitterToNode Here is the func (extension to GameViewController) wherein I call the above. The problem is the explosion sound plays but the smoke particle emitter is not immediately added. func increaseSpeed() { if thisSpeed > maxSpeed { pauseGame() // sets myTrain.isPaused = true playSound(theSoundName: "explosion") addEmitterToNode("smokeParticle.sks", myTrain) trainHasCrashed = true } } // increaseSpeed What I do not understand is that the following within GameScene's sceneDidLoad, the smoke particle emitter is added = override func sceneDidLoad() { if itsGameViewController.trainHasCrashed { itsGameViewController.addEmitterToNode("smokeParticle.sks", myTrain) } }

Error 2009 or 1110
Hello, I recently updated to this version of Beta iOS 18. But I realized that the operating system is not ready yet and decided to roll back. The phone was successfully updated to iOS 17. But there was a problem with the iPad. Error 2009 appears in iTunes. And in 3uTools 1110. After reading the recommendations on the Internet, I tried updating the iPad through different computers, changing the wires, clearing the iPad memory to factory settings. But nothing gave a successful result. Has anyone encountered this problem? What should I do?

App rejected as spam
Hi, my app just got rejected as spam and not sure how to fix this. I have seen other posts suggesting to schedule a call with the App Store team which I already did and waiting for that call. my app is ia dating app combined with wearable technology and there’s a patent for it so definitely not a copy of another app. I would really appreciate any insight on how to overcome this objection from the appt store team. thank you!

Sequoia Beta 3 on Mac Studio M1 Ultra - After Enabling FileVault, Only Guest User Login is Possible and Only Safari is Usable
Hello Community and Dear Apple Developer Community, I shouldn’t have done it… I was already using Sequoia Beta 3 on my Mac Studio. Everything was running stable, and I had been able to work productively with it for a while (weeks). Recently, I decided to enable FileVault. Said and done, but unfortunately, something went wrong: since then, I can no longer log in with my normal user account (which has admin rights). Instead, only the guest user appears on the login screen (and no other account appears even when hovering over it). When I log in as this guest user, it behaves differently than usual. Only Safari can be started, and the only other things I can do are shut down or restart the system. Something has gone seriously wrong with the beta, I would say. Of course, I know I use a beta at my own risk, but I would still very much like to get back to working properly on my Mac without having to reinstall everything. Who can help? I’ve always managed to solve issues myself so far, but in this case, I’m not sure where to start. I can still open a terminal from the recovery utilities and see the SSD utilization, etc. I can also navigate the file system to a basic extent, but I don’t see any entries under Applications or Users with ‘ls -la’, probably because the file systems are mounted with ‘nobrowse’. A current mount entry of the actual boot disk looks like this: /dev/disk3s1 on /Volumes/Macintosh HD (apfs, sealed, local, read-only, journaled, nobrowse) My questions are: 1. Is it sufficient to mount the drives with different options to access them properly again? 2. How do I solve the “only Safari” problem of the guest user? 3. How can I re-enable my existing real user (especially since it is an admin)? 4. Can I disable FileVault from the recovery terminal? If so, how? 5. Would a Sequoia boot stick help me? For Silicon Macs, it is supposedly not that simple but doable. It’s also important to note that I have no access to any GUI, as I can only log in as a guest user with Safari. However, I still have other Macs to fall back on (including a MacBook Air M1). If anyone knows something about my problem, I would appreciate constructive responses. Has anyone else had similar experiences with the Sequoia Beta (now Public Beta)? Thank you for your help, Marcus
