as shown in photo the noise level indicator is too big and not centred. not a major issue just a cosmetic flaw i thought i would bring up

Hi, I have a button view that is used in many different ways in an app that I'm working on. One of the ways it is used is in an account creation form. Since the button is in a child view, the action: { } button function isn't available in the view where the input field variables are. I could import the class with the function to the button view but I don't want to pass the input field variables into the button view. I tried binding a boolean variable to the button view and checked for it's state change in the parent view using .onChange(), but the use case for that I found was depreciated and I'm unable to revert the state of the variable in the .onChange function. To reiterate, in a main view, I need to call a function in a given class and pass variables to it, upon a button being pressed in a child view. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It would be nice if the vocabulary utilized by Apple keyboard and swipe would incorporate more medical terminology. It sucks when you’re trying to type in words like gastroenterologist or hepatorenal and my words get autocorrected or misunderstood … thank you!

This is a follow-up to my previous question: How to attribute/credit Apple Fonts added to app? In that previous post, I misremembered what I did and said I found fonts via macOS' FontBooks, when instead I came acrossUIFont.familyNames. Since these are included via UIKit, the legal implications should be different. I looked at various license agreements that govern iOS app development but haven't found anything mentioning fonts. Since these are included as part of UIKit, its reasonable to assume that developers are allowed to include these fonts--but in what ways? Am I allowed to let users create, say, documents with these fonts? Am I only allowed to display these fonts? There are 84 fonts, and judging by their FontBook entries, there is a wide range of licenses and restrictions. It seems unnecessarily harsh to have every iOS developer verify each one and figure out which they can legally keep if they want to offer their users access to all (for, say, a text-editing app). There must be some overarching rule that supersedes/encapsulates them, but this rule isn't clear to me after hours of research. I'm not a lawyer, and I don't think Apple expects every app developer to consult their lawyers on whether they can use system fonts. I'm about to send an email to Apple's legal team (I will post their response here if allowed), but in the meantime I want to hear what other devs think about this. In Xcode, entering UIFont.familyNames returns the following: ["Academy Engraved LET", "Al Nile", "American Typewriter", "Apple Color Emoji", "Apple SD Gothic Neo", "Apple Symbols", "Arial", "Arial Hebrew", "Arial Rounded MT Bold", "Avenir", "Avenir Next", "Avenir Next Condensed", "Baskerville", "Bodoni 72", "Bodoni 72 Oldstyle", "Bodoni 72 Smallcaps", "Bodoni Ornaments", "Bradley Hand", "Chalkboard SE", "Chalkduster", "Charter", "Cochin", "Copperplate", "Courier New", "Damascus", "Devanagari Sangam MN", "Didot", "DIN Alternate", "DIN Condensed", "Euphemia UCAS", "Farah", "Futura", "Galvji", "Geeza Pro", "Georgia", "Gill Sans", "Grantha Sangam MN", "Helvetica", "Helvetica Neue", "Hiragino Maru Gothic ProN", "Hiragino Mincho ProN", "Hiragino Sans", "Hoefler Text", "Impact", "Kailasa", "Kefa", "Khmer Sangam MN", "Kohinoor Bangla", "Kohinoor Devanagari", "Kohinoor Gujarati", "Kohinoor Telugu", "Lao Sangam MN", "Malayalam Sangam MN", "Marker Felt", "Menlo", "Mishafi", "Mukta Mahee", "Myanmar Sangam MN", "Noteworthy", "Noto Nastaliq Urdu", "Noto Sans Kannada", "Noto Sans Myanmar", "Noto Sans Oriya", "Optima", "Palatino", "Papyrus", "Party LET", "PingFang HK", "PingFang SC", "PingFang TC", "Rockwell", "Savoye LET", "Sinhala Sangam MN", "Snell Roundhand", "STIX Two Math", "STIX Two Text", "Symbol", "Tamil Sangam MN", "Thonburi", "Times New Roman", "Trebuchet MS", "Verdana", "Zapf Dingbats", "Zapfino"]

I have uploaded my app on app store connect but it has been rejected. I received the message about Guideline 4.8 - Design - Login Services. Can you please guide me about how to solve this issue on app store. This is the message i receive from app store: "The app uses a third-party login service, but does not appear to offer an equivalent login option with the following features: -The login option limits data collection to the user’s name and email address. -The login option allows users to keep their email address private as part of setting up their account. -The login option does not collect interactions with the app for advertising purposes without consent. Next Steps Revise the app to offer an equivalent login option that meets all of the above requirements. If the app already includes a login option that meets the above requirements, reply to App Review in App Store Connect, identify which login option meets the requirements, and explain why it meets the requirements. Additionally, it would be appropriate to update the screenshots in the app's metadata to accurately reflect the revised app once another login service has been implemented." Is the problem caused by not having Privacy Policy and Terms of Service when using third-party login service? If it is, then I will add the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

can anyone point my to a psd template or pdf where the new icon positions are defined. thx in advance

Hi, I am developing an app that has a WKWebView and it can open sites like Youtube. The app is sandboxed as it is meant to be uploaded to the mac App Store. It has a feature PiP where we start the native PiP by calling a browser Javascript where we tell the WKWEBView to fire the PiP. It works well when we are running the code from XCODE in Debug scheme. When we run the code from release mode by archiving it or directly from the build folder, the WKWebView is not able to fire the PiP Agent and thus the Native PiP window is not visible, while the site shows that PiP is opened and we can here the sound being played. But PiP window is not visible. I cannot see PiPAgent in activity monitor. Why does it not work from within the release build outside xcode. But when I try to run the build directly from the Finder in builds folder, this PiP feature does not work. Request technical help for this. Thanks!

Hello, I’m an aspiring full stack dev and I’m just wondering how the heck you get good UI AND UX. I’m currently moodboarding and seeing how things look in FigJam and then taking that and coding in Swift. I am struggling and my sanity is hanging on by a string 😂. So tell me, how do you get good UI and UX?

I have 12 cells in a collection view. I am trying to find Swift code to make it display (4 rows x 3 columns) when the device is portrait, and then (2 rows by 6 columns) when in landscape. I need each cell to evenly layout within the view and to fill it.

Looking for code to prevent a user from going landscape on a particular view controller only for an iPhone. The user should be able to rotate the view to landscape on an iPad only on the view controller.

Please, add option to remove app names but keep smaller icons on homescreen. Just like in the dock. You can just add option "no title" beside small and large option in homescreen customize section

I feel like with the option to have many custom wallpapers that you can select from and create, we should be able to have a way of creating a preset for the icon tint color along with the wallpaper. For example, If i have one wallpaper that is orange, and i make the icons match that and make them orange tinted, and later make another wallpaper preset with a green wallpaper with green icon tints. When i switch wallpapers, the icon color tint that was set with that wallpaper should appear (orange background w/ orange tint or green background w/ green tint). As of right now, if I set the app icons tint, and change the wallpaper, the app icons tint stays the same as it was with the other background, and becomes mismatched in a way (orange background with green icons when i had set orange icons).

I have a watchOS app written in C++, Swift and SwiftUI. This app is meant only for 64-bit architecture. I know Apple uses the arm architecture, so I thought arm64 will be the arch of latest AppleWatches. I tested my code in x64 simulator (Intel Mac) and arm64 simulator (silicon Mac) - no trouble. Next is to test on a device - AppleWatch Series 9, model: A2984. I set the arch to arm64 and my application failed to build, with Xcode showing a popup about arch mismatch... which is due to the app's arch begin different from device's arch. When I change Xcode arch setting to arm64_32, then I don't get this popup, but my builds fail. When I read about arm64_32, I realised that this is a version of arm64 with 32 bit pointers... not the arm64 with 64 bit pointers. Looking at the specification of AppleWatch Series 9, Apple has confirmed that it has 64 bit CPU, but the instruction set is unknown. This wiki page about different AppleWatch CPUs is marked TBC for AppleWatch Series 9. From Xcode, I got to know that this unconfirmed arch is arm64_32. This completely breaks my code. Are there any 64-bit watches with 64-bit pointer sizes? What is Apple's future in this area? Do they plan to release AppleWatches that support 64-bit pointers or it's always going to be 32?

the application icon turns black in iOS 18's dark mode, resembling a ghost. Therefore, we would like to understand how Apple processes the background of app icons to turn them black in dark mode. My request is as follows: I would like to understand the color change principle of app icons in dark mode. Without using Xcode 16, how can we ensure compatibility so that users with iOS 18 can see the normal icon?

Hello everyone, for a personal project I'd like to reproduce a design element from Apple's saving application. I'd like to display three rectangles containing text: two horizontally aligned and one next to it. And I'd like the height of the last rectangle to be equal to the height of the two smallest. Does anyone have a solution? Please provide a sample code

Is there a reason why the active mute indicator is different between CarPlay and iPhone? The iPhone active mute indicator is a button with a white background and a red icon whereas the CarPlay active mute indicator is a button with a white background and black icon. We make a CallKit app that supports CarPlay and that's how this was noticed, however the Apple phone app behaves the same. I suspect this is intentional as to cut down on distractions for drivers. Any further explanation would be appreciated. Thanks

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.

Hi, I face problem when I compiler one project in xcode, such as can not accessible path, although I use administrator account, is there suggestion for the condtion? Thanks.

My app lets users create things with text, and I've included Apple fonts so users can format their text with them. These were fonts I found in the Font Book app that comes with macOS. My assumption is that these, like the San Francisco font, can be distributed with apps. Do I need to attribute these fonts to their creators and publish a license in my "About" page? If so, where do I find the license(s) and what is the proper way of publishing them? Is there anything else I should know? Please let me know if this should've been posted under a different topic and tag

I think a good choice would be that apps that made from apple to be circle
