TL;DR version: AkVox - “Your App in Your User’s Language” Quickly and easily localize your app into as few or as many languages as you want with AkVox. Longer version: AkVox can localize any Xcode project. Simply drag your Exported Localizations folder into AkVox, click translate, then export, and you’re ready to import the translated localizations catalogs back into Xcode. Alas, you cannot import the whole localizations folder as one, you must import each catalog individually, a process that takes around 10 seconds per language. AkVox can also assist you when you’re ready to publish your app on App Store Connect. You can create a list of texts you will enter to promote your app and AkVox will translate them. Again, you can’t apply all your translations to the App Store in ne go, you have to apply each language individually. To make this task less painful, AkVox has a convenient set of buttons to make the copy and paste process as quick and simple as possible. The same arrangement is available when you come to add “mini texts” during setting monetization subscriptions. AkVox employs Google Cloud Translate which means you will need an API Key to be able to run full translations. However, Google offers a generous monthly allowance of 500,000 characters to be translated for free each month. This may well mean that you don’t ever pay for the translation process, just the very low price to use AkVox. The free version of AkVox simulates translating by substituting jumbled versions of Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” speech – this is instead of utilising what would normally be used in this case, the tediously dull Lorem Ipsum text. To see AkVox explained in detail, go to the website: https://akvox.com/

I’ve created a document type for my app and set it up in the Info Configuration in Xcode. This all works as expected: Implemented with the Transferrable API and ShareLink, I can share an app’s file via the Files app or Notes and then import the file via a Share extension and the fileImport swiftUI api. My question is regarding Messages, specifically. It appears as a ShareLink option and I’m able to send my app’s document type via a message, but I’m unable to open it or share it (internally, with my app), other than being able to forward or delete it. If I copy the file, I can’t access it within my app (it’s still stored in the Messages private bundle) and startAccessingSecurityScopedResource returns false as expected. The message does detect the right icon, so it’s recognizing the custom document type. If my Share Extension, exported document type, and transferable implementation is configured correctly, should I be able to open a file for my app shared via Messages? Is this an allowed action? I get various answers from AI, and I can’t test this in the Simulator on pre-26 devices.

Hi, I really appreciate the C++ binding provided. I got the metal-cpp source code from the website at Getting Started. However, I could not find the same for metal-cpp-extensions. Is it not available or do we have to always extract it from the sample code? Thanks.

Hello all, I am building a simple Flutter app, and I want to support entering the app through an email. I have used flutter deep links on android and all works well, but for some reason on IOS it doesnt. What I have achieved: When clicking the link I do get navigated into the app, but I get navigated to whatever the last screen was, regardless of the path in the URL. Furthermore, the logical code inside the app doesnt seem to run either - no logs are printed etc. I have even tried following the flutter tutorial at https://docs.flutter.dev/cookbook/navigation/set-up-universal-links to the letter, and it doesnt work I am using: Flutter 3.22.3 Go Router 14.2.7 Thanks in advance

Hi All, I have an App on AppStore, recently the minimum supported version of the app was changed from iOS 12 to iOS 14. Post that the TestFlight builds are crashing on launch. If we revert the minimum supported iOS version to 12, the crash no longer happens. This project is using cocoapods, and from the crash logs it seems the issue with with PLCrashReporter framework. "EXC_CRASH" Termination reason: DYLD 9 weak-def symbol not found '__ZN7plcrash3PL_5async15dwarf_cfa_stateljiE10push_stateEv'. This issue is happening only on TestFlight builds where the minimum supported version is 14.0 Any pointer to a solution is welcome.

My Apple developer certificates(4 certificates) expire soon. I'm developing an application for iOS but the application is not yet released in the App Store, only Testflight releases for private testing. Is it necessary to create 4 new certificates or can I edit the current certificates so that they don't expire soon?

I admit I am doing something unusual, and I would not be surprised if it didn't work. I am surprised, however, because after performing the equivalent operations on four bundles, all of the bundles work fine on macOS 15.6.1, but only two of them work on macOS 26.1 (beta 2). I don't know what causes the different outcomes. What I am trying to do is get Java to pass the macOS 26 AppKit UI SDK linkage checking without having to rebuild the JDK using Xcode 26. Rebuilding works for the latest SDK, but it is very inconvenient and may not work for older JDKs. It usually takes a while before the JDK build team successfully transitions to a new Xcode release. My approach is to use vtool to update the sdk version in the LC_BUILD_VERSION load command of $JAVA_HOME/bin/java, which is the launching executable for the JDK. I performed this operation on four JDKs: 25, 21, 17, and 11. (I ran vtool on macOS 15.) It was completely successful on JDK 25 and 21. The JDK launches correctly on macOS 15 and macOS 26. On macOS 26, AppKit uses the new UI, which is the desired outcome. The JDK runs despite that fact that I signed the modified $JAVA_HOME/bin/java with my developer ID, which is inconsistent with the JDK bundle signature. (Redoing the bundle signing is part of the JDK build process; if that were necessary, I would stick with rebuilding the JDK.) The operation was not successful on JDK 17 and 11. I noticed two problems, which are not obviously related. When vtool created the new version of the java program, it lost the tool definition. $ vtool -show-build-version java java: Load command 10 cmd LC_BUILD_VERSION cmdsize 32 platform MACOS minos 11.0 sdk 11.1 ntools 1 tool LD version 609.8 $ vtool -set-build-version 1 10.0 26.0 -output a.out java /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin/vtool warning: code signature will be invalid for a.out $ vtool -show-build-version a.out a.out: Load command 22 cmd LC_BUILD_VERSION cmdsize 24 platform MACOS minos 10.0 sdk 26.0 ntools 0 Adding back the tool definition didn't seem to matter. When I try to run the revised executable (in the context of the JDK bundle), it works on macOS 15, but on macOS 26, it is rejected as damaged. If I run the revised executable outside the JDK bundle, it runs (but fails because it can't find the rest of the JDK, which is expected). In all cases, GateKeeper rejects the revised executable because it has not been notarized, but that doesn't seem to stop the program from executing.

where can i find the account quota usage for WeatherAPI?

Good morning everyone, I am developing a Flutter app for Android and iOS. When I press a button, the app detects the location of the device (obviously with permissions already granted). On Android everything works correctly. On iOS, however, when I press the button for the first time after opening the app, the location is detected after about 30-50 seconds. On the other hand, if I repeat the operation later, the response time is drastically reduced (only a few seconds). I am using the location package (https://pub.dev/packages/location), and the code to get the location is as follows: var currentLocation = await location.getLocation(); Has anyone experienced this problem before or knows how to solve it? Thank you very much! Federico

Looking for a dynamic table that displays the latest supported CLI versions with the version of macOS. Specifically, is CLI 15.3 supported on Ventura 13.7.8? More generally, what is the lastest version of CLI supported on macOS <version_goes_here>

We are developing a cross platform c++ application. We also use some objective-c (no swift) and specific Apple frameworks like AVFoundation, CoreML in the MacOs version of our software. We use Apple Clang as compiler when building for MacOs. As our code is primarily c++ we would like to use the latest and greatest c++ 20 features. So we are looking into using vanilla clang instead, the builds with vanilla clang seem to work fine, however our concern is that we might have overlooked possible issues that could arise. So our question is whether there are specific things we need to address when switching compilers, are there things that we need to be aware of? In the end we just want to know if switching compilers won't cause problems we can't oversee. So we would like to know if others took the same steps and what your thoughts/experiences are regarding this?

I am trying to make an app icon 20 x 20 pixel dimension. I cannot get the icon to be sized this way. It gets blurry. I have used adobe express + illustrator. I have not been able to size it. It is a 400 x 400 dimension png. I want the proportion to be 20 x 20 without losing the clarity.

Hello guys, I know people already talked about this here but maybe some of you solved it. When trying Alarmkit, it keeps playing the same default sound. I tried a lot of changes to make it play my custom sound but nothing worked. Has anyone solved this or is it just the alarmkit problem? Thank you and take care guys.

Hello - I’m the Account Holder for an individual Apple Developer Program account. I’m working with freelance junior developers who are building my app in React Native mainly in TypeScript (.tsx) with some JavaScript, with code in GitHub. The app currently runs in Expo Go now. I’ve been directed to this forum for step-by-step guidance. Specifically I need clear, sequential instructions I can give my developers (and what I personally must do on my Mac) so they can produce a properly signed iOS build for TestFlight (internal testing), and Upload that build to App Store Connect and then submit the release to the App Store. Context: This is an individual developer account (not an organization). I am the only person with a Mac. I added them as developers but was told I need to be the one to upload the final build (is this true, and if so, what do they send me to do that, and when they send it to me, can you please tell me exactly what I need to do from there?) I was told about Swift Playground, possible SwiftUI conversion if needed, APK file, and using my Xcode for final submission, but not sure what to make of this that will get it on TestFlight from the current React Native. What I would like to ask for help with is a concise, step-by-step checklist (including exact menu names / commands or tools like EAS Submit, Transporter, or Xcode) of the developers' steps and my admin/account holder steps, so I can hand it to the developers and make sure nothing is missed to get on TestFlight. I’m on a tight timeline, so any clear, detailed guidance would be extremely appreciated. Thank you so much. I have looked everywhere and cannot find a step-by-step!

Hi Apple Engineers and fellow developers, I'm a student developer working on an educational focus management app that helps users hide distracting apps during study sessions. The app consists of: macOS app: Simple "Hide apps" button that triggers app hidding sessions iOS app: Uses Screen Time API to temporarily hide selected apps from home screen Communication: Bonjour networking between Mac and iPhone for session coordination The Challenge My app requires two entitlements that aren't available with Personal Developer Teams: com.apple.developer.family-controls (for Screen Time API) com.apple.developer.networking.multicast (for Bonjour device discovery) Current Error Messages text Cannot create a iOS App Development provisioning profile for "focuser.focuser-app". Personal development teams, including "My Name", do not support the Family Controls (Development) capability. Provisioning profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.family-controls and com.apple.developer.networking.multicast entitlements. My Question for Apple Engineers Is there any legitimate way to test these privacy-sensitive APIs on my own devices for educational/learning purposes without purchasing the $99/year Apple Developer Program membership? I understand the security reasons behind these restrictions, but as a student just learning iOS development, it creates a significant barrier to experimenting with these technologies.

I want to test different types of journaling suggestions, like for example photo/video containing ones but as a developer I have no control over what's shown in the Journaling Suggestions sheet. And this makes it really difficult to develop or test any suggestion type other than "reflection". Please let us have a fake suggestions sheet that includes all kinds of suggestion types so we can test. We could toggle it under Developer settings I think.

So I can see from the documentation that XCTAssertEqual(x, y) becomes #expect(x == y), but what about XCTAssertEqual(x, y, accuracy: 0.2)? Does something already exist or do we need to write a more involved statement to see if x is less than y plus z and more than y minus z?
