Behavioral change in iOS 18 related to SCEP profile downloads from the browser.
Hi Team, We have noticed a behavioral change in iOS 18 related to SCEP profile downloads from the browser. In current flow, we are using Cisco ISE as SCEP server. While testing in iOS 18, we have observed that before communicating to SCEP server iOS is asking to download the SCEP server certificate. This differs from iOS 17.4, where the communication happens seamlessly without any new prompts. Could you please confirm if this certificate download popup behavior is expected in iOS 18? Additionally, we would appreciate any guidance on whether this change in likely to persist in future updates, as it impacts our user flow. Please let us know where we can attach video recordings of previous and current processes. Thanks

Universal link opening excluded path on the app instead of browser.
I need my app to open all other links except domain.com. But clicking on domain.com still opens the app though I have added 'excluded': true. Below is my aasa file { "applinks": { "apps": [], "details": [ { "appID": "com.domain", "paths": ["NOT /"], "components": [ { "/": "/", "exclude": true }, { "/": "/biz/*" }, { "/": "/offers/deal-detail*", "?": { "oId": "*" } }, { "/": "/review/*" }, { "/": "/emailActionHandler*" } ] } ] } } I have also tried to verify this with swcutil tool, and it gives the right matches and blocks 'domain.com'. But the actual behavior on an iOS device is not the same.

Image playground early access
Ii have been waiting a couple of days for access to image playground also. I wonder if having my VPN activated during my initial early access request right after I installed 18.2 somehow put me in some sort of loop that’s not allowing me to be granted access. Is there anyone that has been waiting that had their VPN on when they requested early access?

image playground
it's unfair how some people have full access to Image Playground and others have to wait for hours and days I don't understand why Apple doing stuff like this to the customer treated everyone equally

IOS 18 App Icon Photoshop Template Won’t Work
I can’t figure out how to make the iOS 18 photoshop template for app icons work. In the past, each variant of the icon size was an editable layer you could open up, change and save. In this one, only the large App Store icons are editable. So I thought maybe if I put my icon in the App Store layer, the smaller icons would automatically scale and fill in. But they don’t. When I checkmark the generate assets option, it generates all the icon files, but all of them are blank, except for the App Store one. I don’t really want the smaller icons to just automatically scale down anyway; I would rather have them be fine-tuned by hand so that they look good at all sizes. I used the sketch template in a free trial of sketch and it automatically scaled and generated all of the icon sizes, as expected. But I don’t own sketch; I use Photoshop and Illustrator for all of my work. I’ve always been able to use the template in the past; it’s only this year‘s iOS 18 version that isn’t working for me.

IOS18 “updates”
This update seems to have taken away customization features. So now I just have to have the same lock screen and home screen background? There’s no way to have 2 separate images anymore? Also I have my phone in darkmode so now I just have to deal with the ugly black thumbnails for the app? I can’t revert them to normal colors while keeping dark mode?

Presented viewController size shink in iPad after iOS 18
We present a viewController by embedding it into a UINavigationController and then presenting that navigation controller. let navigationController = UINavigationController(rootViewController: invCreateIssueViewController) self.present(navigationController, animated: true) The size of the presented view controller has reduced a lot in ipad in iOS 18. How do I get the same full screen presentation as iOS 17 in iOS 18?

App will build and run once; then crashes on phantom AVPlayerView reference every time
My application suddenly started crashing on launch when I target "My Mac - designed for iPad." But only after the first build from scratch, which runs once. All subsequent runs crash with: dyld[90869]: Symbol not found: _OBJC_CLASS_$_AVPlayerView Referenced from: <D566512D-CAB4-3EA6-9B87-DBD15C6E71B3> /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/Library/Debugger/libViewDebuggerSupport.dylib Expected in: <4C34313C-03AD-32EB-8722-8A77C64AB959> /System/iOSSupport/System/Library/Frameworks/AVKit.framework/Versions/A/AVKit I don't use AVPlayerView anywhere in my application. A file-contents search of the entire source tree doesn't turn it up either. The application doesn't even get to the point of instantiating the app object, so none of my code is involved. If I switch the target to my iPhone, it will build and run repeatedly. If I then switch back to "My Mac," it will build and run once... and then crash every time. Further research shows that this only happens in Debug builds. This is a major issue right now because iOS 18 broke authentication certificates (thus HTTPS), so anyone writing or debugging an app that needs network functionality must use HTTP on localhost. In my case, I'm dead in the water because I can't debug on my local machine. Has anyone seen something like this before? I can find no reference to anything like it.

A phone keyboard layout for easy typing!
Last November 13 I came up with a phone keyboard layout (strategy) that can make key size bigger hence less mistyping. The typical phone keyboard looks like this: My proposed keyboard looks like this: Essentially, it's a split keyboard with the left-hand part stacked above/below the right-hand part. Key size/width/height and the vertical distance between the left-hand part and right-hand part may be adjustable to suit different phone widths and user hand sizes. You guys can show the proposed keyboard's image on your phone and fit this keyboard to your phone width so you can actually simulate typing on it to see how it feels. On my phone, the letter keys in it are a little too big for my thumbs to reach the farthest keys, but as I said, key size should be adjustable to suit different phone widths and user hand sizes.

Center alignment in row of LazyVGrid
I am creating a LazyVGrid with 2 columns. I want it so that if there is only one item in a row, then it goes to the center of the row. I tried using an HStack with a Spacer, but it doesn't push it to the center. How do I do it? ForEach(pets) { pet in VStack { Image(pet.species.rawValue) .resizable() .frame(width: 80, height: 80) Text(pet.name) .poppinsBold(size: 16) } } HStack { if pets.hasEvenNumber { Spacer(minLength: 0) } Button { addPetSheet = true } label: { VStack { ZStack { Circle() .frame(width: 70, height: 70) .foregroundStyle(.gray) Image(systemName: "plus") .foregroundStyle(.white) .font(.title) } Text("Add") .poppinsBold(size: 16) } } } }

How do I use the Figma macOS Sequoia UI Kit?
Question: Guide for Using Apple's macOS Sequoia UI Kit in Figma? I recently discovered that Apple has published a "macOS Sequoia UI Kit" on their Figma profile: https://www.figma.com/@apple As someone new to both UI kits in Figma and Mac app development, I'm looking for guidance on how to use this UI kit when designing a Mac app. Does anyone know if such a resource exists? I haven't been able to find one so far. Background I started developing a new macOS app about a month ago and have a basic working version with early functionality. I've realized I need to take a step back and create visual prototypes to inform where to invest future development time. The Sequoia UI Kit seems like it could be helpful, but I'm unsure how to use it. iOS but not macOS There are several tools available for designing iOS apps: https://createwithplay.com/ https://www.judo.app/ https://detailspro.app/ However, I'm not aware of similar tools specifically for macOS application design. Direction Apple publishes design UI kits for both Figma and Sketch. I want to avoid paying for Sketch (this is a hobby project), so I'm focusing on the Figma option. Ideally, I'd love to see the iOS-focused tools mentioned above support macOS design fully. Until then (if ever), I'm hoping to make the most of the Sequoia UI Kit in Figma. Any guidance or resources would be greatly appreciated!

Is it mandatory for gambling apps to provide guest login functionality?
Hello everyone, I am currently developing a gambling app and would like to ask if anyone has relevant experience or knowledge regarding whether it is necessary to require users to log in immediately when launching the app? Or is it permissible to offer a "guest mode" for users to try out the app before requiring them to log in? Does this comply with the policies of Apple or Google Play? Thank you all for your guidance!
