I am trying to download the SF Symbols 5 app on my Mac but I get an error when I try to download through the SF Symbols page. This is supposedly the download link that is not working: https://devimages-cdn.apple.com/design/resources/download/SF-Symbols-5.dmg.
I assume this is probably a temporary error but I thought I would bring this to attention anyway.

Hello! I am developing an ebook reader iOS app that uses c/c++ codec as a page renderer.
The codec uses TrueType as a font rendering engine that requires access to .ttf (or .ttc) files.
Currently, I supply TrueType with fonts embedded in the app package, so they lay within the app sandbox.
The codec supports the whole unicode plane and many languages that ebooks may use, but the fonts I supply don't have some of the important glyphs (i.e. katakana or hangul).
I see that iOS has its own font storage, located in /System/Library/Fonts/ directory. The codec is able to parse this directory and read .ttf files located inside, using these fonts as a fallback in the case when the supplied fonts can't draw certain glyphs.
I use opendir and fopen(in "rb" mode) as a way to read the data, and it works well.
Does this type of access to the system directory violate the sandbox rule for an app distribution, and, if yes, is there a way to get access to stored .ttf files not violating the mentioned rule?
I created a custom icon using illustrator. I've drawn Ultrathin, duplicated the same and increased stroke width followed by expanding and creating a compound mask. When I try to validate the same I am getting Interpolation error, I am unable to figure where the error is. Can someone please help?
Hello!
I need advice. According to Apple's guidelines, is it permissible to ask users during the initial app launch, through an OnBoarding screen (example in the screenshot), if they are older than 16 when the Age Rating on the App Store is set to 9+? I want to determine if the user from Europe and the UK has reached the age of consent in order to display or not display the GDPR consent form to them.
Thanks!
Hi,
I'd like to remove the SF Symbols. I'm not sure if I can just delete it in the applications folder because I see that it takes 364.3 MB of disk space to install, but only 24.9 MB in the applications folder.
I'm using macOS Monterey 12.7
Can anybody tell me how to delete it?
We're working on new UX designs and we're wondering if iPhone SE compatibility is required for App Store approval as it will impact our work. Appreciate any insight here!
Hello,
Our app rejected by following reason:
Guideline 4.3 - Design
We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps previously submitted by a terminated Apple Developer Program account.
Submitting similar or repackaged apps is a form of spam that creates clutter and makes it difficult for users to discover new apps.
Next Steps
Since we do not accept spam apps on the App Store, we encourage you to review your app concept and submit a unique app with distinct content and functionality.
Resources
Some factors that contribute to a spam rejection may include:
Submitting an app with the same source code or assets as other apps already submitted to the App Store
Creating and submitting multiple similar apps using a repackaged app template
Purchasing an app template with problematic code from a third party
Submitting several similar apps across multiple accounts

The application is 100% developed by our team and I am 100% sure of it. How can we do it ? Please help.
The themes that bundle with Xcode are all very complex, in the sense that they highlight every token-type a different color, and often use colors that are only slightly different (as there aren't nearly enough distinct colors).
Given that these themes are intended to be used, they should be optimized for practicality (not just flexing the power of Xcode). Syntax highlighting is most useful when it distinguishes between things that the programmer distinguishes between conceptually (if I don't know why one variable is blue, while another, apparently similar, variable is red, the highlighting actually makes the code harder to parse correctly).
I've also observed a trend towards more minimal highlighting schemes, just generally. I don't have any evidence for this, but assume other people have noticed it too.
To offer a concrete example, the following scheme does the usual kinda thing with keywords, comments and literals, but sets everything else to look like plain text, except types, which are gold when they're being declared, and copper otherwise:
In my experience, it's notably easier to parse like this, which helps when learning Swift & Co.
This is the same theme, applied to a C-family language (Metal):
I'm not asking for feedback on the theme specifically. I'm just asking whether you agree that Xcode should bundle a couple of these simpler themes.
