How to Restrict In-App Purchases to a Specific User Email or Differentiate Users?
Hello, I am implementing In-App Purchases in my app and want to ensure that only users whose email matches their Apple ID email (the account used on the device as apple account) can purchase the subscription. Is it possible to retrieve the Apple ID email from the device or verify if the email matches the user's email in the app? If this is not feasible, what is the recommended approach to differentiate users and associate subscriptions with specific users in a secure way? For instance, how do I ensure that a subscription is tied to the correct user within my app? I understand privacy constraints, but I am trying to find the best way to match the subscription to the correct user while adhering to Apple's guidelines. Any guidance or best practices would be appreciated. Thank you!

Plugin/Module deployment support in App Store
Our app provides configuration and maintenance features for Siemens electrical devices. The app supports multiple devices and the devices have their own specific features, which also need to be supported by our App. The devices can be released to the market only when our app supports those features. Our app release timeline is once in every 4 months. We face a challenge when some of these devices are not able to deliver their features by our release time. So, we would like to make these devices plugins, which can be independently released, without releasing the App every time. The app would, of course, be released once in every 4 months, depending on the common features. I'm not able to find how to release only the plugins within the app, without releasing the entire app. Some one has suggested app extensions, but that does not fit our solution as in some cases, we need continuous polling of data from one or mode devices for minutes or hours, as the app can be used by the user to monitor some of the device values.

Change Dev Account "Enrolled As" Status
I'm a developer that has only produced for a single company. Though my developer account shows me as the account holder, my "Enrolled as" status is "Organization," and the "Entity" field shows the name of that company. I want to build an app for a separate company/organization, but unsure how to proceed. My App Store Connect account shows the original company name beneath my name as the only option in the account ID selector menu, so when I begin the New App process it automatically assumes I'm doing it for that company. Can I change my "Enrolled as" status to something independent of any organization, do I need to create a completely separate account to do this, or how should I proceed? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

lowQualityThumbnail in QLThumbnailGenerator stops working from 15.2
Our code is using .lowQualityThumbnail to generate a thumbnail, it stops working when users update to 15.2 . Test it with a regular jpg file for fileURL. The only way to make it work is to change it to .thumnail or remove it. It's not deprecated, is it a MacOS bug? customers don't want to keep updating the software. Everything works in MacOS 15.1 import QuickLookThumbnailing func generateThumbnail(for fileURL: URL, size: CGSize, scale: CGFloat) { let request = QLThumbnailGenerator.Request(fileAt: fileURL, size: size, scale: scale, representationTypes: .lowQualityThumbnail) QLThumbnailGenerator.shared.generateBestRepresentation(for: request) { thumbnail, error in if let error = error { print("Error generating thumbnail: \(error)") } else if let thumbnail = thumbnail { // Use the thumbnail let image = thumbnail.uiImage // Do something with the image } } }

Card views and List views
My main app is CardView based w/programmatic navigation.. My secondary app is a nice EventListView w/programmatic navigation. Both are functional with no errors. I want to add an event list to my CardView app but the appearance is all wrong. See image. The blue swirl at bottom is all of my List that appears. I can post images of code, if needed. My question is this - can I combine CardViews and ListViews?

NFC Implentation for Peer - Peer Device
We are in the process of developing a mobile banking application and have a key requirement related to NFC-based peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions. Our goal is to enable secure and seamless money transfers between two devices using NFC. Business Requirement: The application will provide a feature where users can initiate money transfers via NFC. The sender starts an NFC payment session from their device. Simultaneously, the receiver starts an NFC session to accept the payment. The sender's device should be able to detect the receiver’s NFC tag and process the transaction securely.

Stuck using variable in the tex statement
I have two simple tests initially triggered by a title of a game setting: "Highest score Wins" or rule.hasSuffix("wins."). The code in both cases looks for the highest score and in the latter case checks to see if a target score has been achieved. This work fine. But when I display the final results, the first works fine and the latter fails to display the name; defaulting to the No One Wins - which is incorrect. The relevant pieces of the code are: case rule == "Highest score Wins": // Find the highest score let maxScore = scores.max(by: { $0.1 < $1.1 })?.1 ?? 0 let topScorers = scores.filter { $0.1 == maxScore } gameIsDraw = topScorers.count > 1 winner = topScorers.count == 1 ? topScorers.first?.0 : nil // This work and will display the winner name correctly - see below case rule.hasSuffix("wins."): // "Player to reach X wins." let topScorers = scores.filter { $0.1 >= target } if !topScorers.isEmpty { let maxScore = scores.max(by: { $0.1 < $1.1 })?.1 ?? 0 let topScorers = scores.filter { $0.1 == maxScore } gameIsDraw = topScorers.count > 1 winner = topScorers.count == 1 ? topScorers.first?.0 : nil // This works but does not display the name //This is the section that displays the names (winner) if gameIsDraw { Text("The Game is a Draw") .font(.largeTitle) .bold() .foregroundColor(.orange) } else { Text("Game Over!") .font(.largeTitle) .bold() Text("\(winner?.playername ?? "No One") Wins!") .font(.title) .foregroundColor(.green) } I have tried everything, but am losing the will to live

Make Developer Forums Better!
Too many irrelevant posts come up when I attempt to search for something. There should be an easy button or something to earmark posts as something irrelevant- something that shouldn't come up in a search. I'm looking for something in Xcode 15 and frequently the top posts in the search are 10 years old and don't have any relevance whatsoever to the solution to my problem.

Please Help! App won't open for 1 user, Just fades away.
[https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/1051990313) We are experiencing an issue where a user is unable to open our app on their iPhone 16 Pro Max running iOS 18.3. When the user selects the app, it begins to scale to screen size but then fades away without fully opening. It is unclear whether this is a crash or another issue. To troubleshoot, we created a simplified version of the app containing only a single screen displaying "Hello, World." The user experiences the same issue with this version, leading us to believe there may be a device-specific setting or compatibility issue at play. Steps the User Has Tried: Checked device storage – over 200GB available Offloaded and reinstalled the app Deleted and reinstalled the app Updated to iOS 18.3 Forced restart of the device Reset network settings Turned off VPN Despite these steps, the issue persists. We would appreciate any guidance on potential causes or troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue.

iOS 18.1-18.3 Bluetooth is not working (infinity restarting)
The Bluetooth on my iPhone 14 hasn’t been working for a week now. Everything was fine until, at some point, it started endlessly turning on and off by itself. I’ve tried resetting the settings, doing a hard reset, updating to iOS 18.3—none of these helped. I even deleted all VPN profiles just in case (I saw this suggested on forums), but that didn’t work either. According to forums, this bug has existed since September and affects thousands of people. The constant cycling causes the Bluetooth settings to freeze. Please help! My watch, headphones, car—everything has turned into a pumpkin!
