I heard that the App Store is now offering older App versions for older devices. Is there any documentation on this?

Anybody know what, if any, changes have been made to video encoding specs in iOS 7? I have a bunch of videos that play without audio, even though they were fine on every previous iOS release and device.

Does it take a while for devices to register?

I tried to update an iPad to 7.1 beta about an hour ago, and got this message:

"This device is not registered as part of the iPad Developer Program."

Sure enough, it wasn't, so I added, but it still won't activate.

Does anyone know what accounting method Apple uses on the 1099K's? Their numbers don't seem to jive with what was actually paid.

Going to ask my accountant in about a month. I'm assuming that it'll end up the same as reporting the actual payments, seeing as how the difference is Apple's cut and a fully deductible business expense.
I doubt it will be that easy, frankly. There are apparently a number of things (like returns) which Apple reports as paid to you, even though they were not.

Apple acquired Testflight, right? Do you still have to send people an invite and have them accept, or if there UUID is registered, can you still anonymously send them the email?

So I have to make a minor update to an app that last shipped before the iPhone 6 came out; I know you should, but are you obligated to provide iPhone 6 native resolution assets? Can you no longer manually construct views?

I've seen the code to offer a "preview" of a controller with 3d touch, but is an API (or 3rd party component) to do a 3d touch context menu like on the home screen?

I haven't done it yet, but this tutorial worked for me when implementing it within our application:

http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/ios-9-an-introduction-to-3d-touch--cms-25115

Check out section 4, but from a quick glance:

- You can specify static shortcut items in your Info.plist
- You can dynamically create shortcut items
- You handle the shortcuts in your app delegate in
code:
func application(application: UIApplication, performActionForShortcutItem shortcutItem: UIApplicationShortcutItem, completionHandler: (Bool) -> Void)
Sorry, let me clarify - I want to have a similar menu inside the application?

Ignoring Xcode and similar full-blown IDEs, what graphical OSX-based editors are popular here these days for simple code/script/.etc work?

(Specifically, for a lot of HTML/CSS/JS, PHP, Python, Shell scripts, and things like that.)

So I re-wrote a couple of small Objective C apps in Swift, and I noticed they're substantially larger, I think primarily due to the inclusion of several swift dylibs in the IPA. Wouldn't this be something that would normally be included in the OS?

Having a discussion with another dev, Google has not been as helpful as I'd hoped, so figured I'd see if folks know --

If my MacOS app needs some .dylibs -- not entire frameworks, just single compiled libraries -- where are these supposed to go in the app bundle?

The reason this came up is that it seems like the behavior is different in Monterey than previous OS releases... for whatever reason.

It's really cool how Apple just decides that certain method names are forbidden on the app store with zero announcement or warning. Are we supposed to be scraping all of the private frameworks for selector names every time we name something to make sure we don't accidentally overlap?

At least back in the day, if you really wanted to, you could dynamically construct those undocumented selectors in code and it would pass the test.

Not that I'm suggesting anyone do this.

I've been out of the iOS game for a while, and I have a Xamarin app that runs fine on iOS.

Are launch images still supported these days, or is that no longer supported?

Is there a way to handle the iPad status bar and make sure I can accept touches under that area?

I need some GPU features that don't work on A8 (or earlier) chips. Not that I expect there are a ton of these still floating around in active use, but is there a way to specify that in Info.plist rather than just "Hey, this won't work if you have these models" in the App Store description?

Maybe stating the obvious here but I think the best way to handle that situation would be to implement a CPU fallback.

I appreciate the suggestion --- it's a nice idea; we had briefly looked into it but it seems like it'd be a huge investment for... probably very little return.

Mac Catalyst?

I think this is a toolkit for building iOS and MacOS applications simultaneously. I'm just referring to the ability to run an iOS app/game on an ARM Mac, even one that wasn't necessarily designed with this in mind (although developers can specifically prohibit this).

How about universal binaries?

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple-silicon/building-a-universal-macos-binary

They also use "silicon" while referring to compatible macs, which might help your searches

Just to clarify, I'm just talking about the ability to run iOS apps on ARM-based Macs, rather than building a dual iOS/Mac app. Yes, I realize the later can be done, but right now some apps can't due to other technical or contractual issues.


haveblue posted:

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/apple-silicon/running-your-ios-apps-in-macos

This page doesn't use a specific term to name the feature, it's just a build/distribution option to share the same binary instead of making two, or to make it iOS-only, and it's allowed by the existence of Catalyst. So it's probably correct to refer to doing this as "using Catalyst".

Can you say more about the issue you're encountering?

I actually think I tracked it down. The issue was about keypresses in a third-party library. Turns out their UIView called [super ...] on a lot of the presses handlers, which would cause MacOS to emit a system beep for certain keys even if the keypress was handled.

Not many people test iOS apps this way on Macs (and I don't blame them, I'm not sure how to offhand), so it's unsurprising to me that it wouldn't get noticed.




EDIT: Also, I assumed that "UISupportsTrueScreenSizeOnMac" flag means iOS app windows can be resized but I guess not?
