Starting February 17, 2025: Due to the European Union’s Digital Services Act, apps without trader status will be removed from the App Store in the European Union until trader status is provided and verified, if necessary.

As a reminder, Account Holders or Admins in the Apple Developer Program need to enter trader status in App Store Connect for apps on the App Store in the European Union in order to comply with the Digital Services Act.

As part of ongoing efforts to improve security and privacy on Apple platforms, the App Store receipt signing intermediate certificate is being updated to use the SHA-256 cryptographic algorithm.

This certificate is used to sign App Store receipts, which are the proof of purchase for apps and In-App Purchases.

Starting January 24, 2025, if your app performs on-device receipt validation and doesn’t support the SHA-256 algorithm, your app will fail to validate the receipt.

If your app performs on-device receipt validation, update your app to support certificates that use the SHA-256 algorithm; alternatively, use the AppTransaction and Transaction APIs to verify App Store transactions.

Starting next month, Apple will change the supported algorithms that secure server connections for Apple Pay on the Web.

In order to maintain uninterrupted service, you’ll need to ensure that your production servers support one or more of the designated six ciphers before February 4, 2025.

These algorithm changes will affect any secure connection you’ve established as part of your Apple Pay integration, including the following touchpoints:

Swift 6 scales even further through new low-level programming features, an embedded Swift language subset, expanded Linux and Windows support, new cross-platform APIs including the new Swift Testing library, and more.

macOS and iOS started using the Swift implementation of Foundation alongside Swift 5.9, and Swift 6 brings these improvements to Linux and Windows.

Swift TestingSwift 6 introduces Swift Testing, a new testing library designed from the ground up for Swift.

Since Swift Testing is included directly in Swift 6 toolchains, you can import Testing without needing to declare a package dependency.

Swift Testing supports all platforms that Swift officially supports, including all Apple …

Introducing Oblivious HTTP support in Swift August 21, 2024We’re excited to introduce an implementation of provisional support for Oblivious HTTP to the Swift ecosystem, with the availability of a new package called SwiftNIO Oblivious HTTP.

Oblivious HTTP helps ensure that personally identifiable data about the requesting source is never available to the device processing the request.

Binary HTTP EncodingThe Binary HTTP representation from RFC 9292 defines a mechanism to serialize and deserialize an abstract HTTP message that does not rely on a specific wire format, such as HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2.

Announcing Swift Homomorphic Encryption July 30, 2024We’re excited to announce a new open source Swift package for homomorphic encryption in Swift: swift-homomorphic-encryption.

Homomorphic EncryptionAs mentioned above, homomorphic encryption enables computation on encrypted data without decryption or access to the decryption key.

The Swift implementation of homomorphic encryption implements the Brakerski-Fan-Vercauteren (BFV) HE scheme (https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/078, https://eprint.iacr.org/2012/144).

Below is a basic example for how to use Swift Homomorphic Encryption.

New GitHub Organization for the Swift Project June 10, 2024Today, we are announcing an exciting development for the Swift programming language: its migration to a dedicated GitHub organization at GitHub.com/swiftlang.

This migration reflects the growth and maturity of the Swift community and highlights Swift’s versatility beyond Apple’s own ecosystems.

With a GitHub organization dedicated to Swift, we are creating an even more conducive environment for collaboration and innovation.

As a first step, we will move the swift-evolution repository today, with other repositories transitioning over the coming weeks.

I have a free app (no IAP for now) that some people love and rely on. I want to do right by my small user base, but the burdens of Trader status aren’t acceptable: I’d be paying (in money and hassle) for the rest of my life! (I’m a solo dev and my app would make no sense as a subscription.) 1. Can I keep my free app in the EU App Store and still have NON-Trader status, as long as I remove my OTHER app—which is paid (sticker pack making me about $1/week🤣)—from EU availability? 2. If I ever add IAP to my free app, can I simply set that IAP to not be available in the EU, and thus keep the free app available (albeit limited to free features) for my European users without needing Trader status? …

I want to develop a personal tool that listens for a bluetooth input (string of numbers from a handscanner). Ideally I'd like the app to be in the background waiting for this type of input. But if I have to toggle the feature on/off during specific work hours (or for a certain amount of time), that would work. What I'm trying to avoid is a process like this: Opening my phone. Opening app/web app. Grabbing scanner. Scanning Going back to phone. Is this something that can be accomplished on iOS? submitted by /u/TheOutlier1 [link] [comments]

I am new to iOS development, developing a new app using Flutter on my macbook. I am primarily an Android user.

I'd like to create a job tracker that automatically checks an Excel file to see if a certain number of entries have been made in a certain time period, and then checks off a Reminder if that condition is met. I planned to do this at first using Python, CalDAV, and openpyxl, but it turns out that Reminders no longer supports CalDAV. From here, it seems like my only two options to make the program I want is to either use AppleScript or Swift/EventKit, neither of which seem to have a way to be run automatically and headlessly. Are there any other options that I haven't already explored. submitted by /u/LiterallyJohnny [link] [comments]

So im currently working on a project similar to the Brick in order to reduce my screen time. Essentially, It blocks apps and only unlocks them when you scan an NFC tag. As of right now, I've successfully copied it and disabled apps by scanning the NFC tag. But one thing I can't do that Brick can do, is they have a "Strict" mode where, if enabled, disables your ability to delete the app. Being able to delete the app is a huge workaround for me lol Another app that has this feature is Opal, which features uninstall protection. How are they implementing this? From the research I’ve done, I just can’t figure it out. Any thoughts thrown at this would be appreciated lol submitted by /u/Rough-Shee…

I would like to design an app that periodically prompts the user to login and download order information from a backend service.

I’ve been following this sub for an awhile and know that promoting new apps is a nightmare. Over years I've developed multiple productivity iOS apps, but always struggled marketing them. When working with influencers and writers I often had to share my apps' screenshots, description, but there was never a convenient way to do it. A public Google Folder was the best I’ve come up with, but it did not feel professional. So, I made Pressdeck - a website for anyone to create public press kits for their apps. Now the press kit for one of my apps looks like this. So, I’d love to hear your guys’ thoughts. How do you market apps? What do you think about sending press kits to media and journalists? I…

I've always wanted to learn how to build iOS apps. Finally got around to it, after getting so annoyed at a particular baby tracking app I was using for my kids. As the App developers started their enshittification phase by just having ads and paywalls, even after paying subscription fee! So I decided to try and build an app where you can log common categories of things, any time. No nagging notifications or anything like that. In its current iteration, I find it useful for just logging really randomly without worring about anything. The other day I needed to update the weight of my kids, and its not something I do often. So it was nice to just open the app, log it, then close for future ref…

It uses RealityKit, SharePlay, and integrates with SwiftUI to let you build shared experiences.

It doesn’t solve all the issues I wondered about in my article, like whether UI in a shared experience should be personal or shared, but it’s a start.

As for Apple, I’m glad to see them begin to tackle shared experiences with visionOS.

The code from his experiment is available if you’re also curious about using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose to write an iOS app.

The new SwiftUI TabView is extremely versatile in adapting its UI to the platform you’re developing for.

I ended up selling Curated to another company, and it’s been sold a couple more times over the years.

Even though they did eventually get the system working again, my confidence in their ability to run the site has gone.

If I’d like to try some new things, that’s much easier now that I control the entire rendering of the site and email.

This is not intentional, but I hit an issue with creating it that I couldn’t easily fix.

Powering hundreds of popular iOS apps like Dropbox, Box, and Autodesk, as well as our own PDF Viewer.

If I had a pound (or dollar) for every time I had considered using Git to version files inside an app, I'd be a rich man.

What I realized back then is that this problem has already been solved very elegantly by a product that is extremely well-known and popular, and right under our noses.

It's called Git.

Of course, Drew McCormack chose a more elegant solution inspired by Git instead of directly using it.

That solution is now a new library, Forked, and I can’t imagine it’s anything but exceptional given his history in this area.

Issue 693 3rd January 2025 Written by Dave VerwerHappy New Year, everyone!

Last year was a year full of personal challenges for me, but I have plans for a much better 2025.

I have plans for this newsletter too, and of course we have goals for this year on the Swift Package Index.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but Swift is trying hard to shake the image of being only for Apple platform development.

The device monitors and mixes audio tracks that are flying around an Ethernet network as Audio over IP (AoIP).

This year, as always, Marius Landwehr’s repo of deals is bang up to date, this year with the help of Noah Tran, and you’re sure to find something worth your while.

Michael Tsai also has a great post covering even more deals.

One of the things it’s good at is writing code, so I thought I’d give it the task of turning the structured JSON export of my Curated data into.

I spent about ten minutes writing a fairly lengthy specification and included a sample of the JSON data.

It only took two prompts and less than thirty minutes, and the code was better than I would have written.

All AI code completion I have used so far has been additive, suggesting either a line or block of code.

The bad news is (also) that swift-syntax is quite powerful.

I like this quick macOS tip and tutorial from Mario Guzman about dynamic dock icons on macOS.

It’s worth noting that:It is rare to see apps use NSDockTilePlugIn because apps that contain one are not allowed on the Mac App Store.

That’s sad to hear, but the Mac App Store is far from mandatory if you’re writing a Mac app.

Issue 688 22nd November 2024 Written by Dave VerwerEvery developer, from solo indie devs to giant mega-corporations, has dreamt of Apple choosing them as a featured app on the App Store.

When the App Store first launched, I think the apps that got featured were likely sourced by the editorial teams themselves.

Here’s the full Developer News announcement, but the gist of it is that you can now submit and track the status of requests to have an app featured.

Five days ago, Spotify disputed a report that Apple Music pays artists more than double compared to Spotify’s average rates.

In completely unrelated news, Spotify has published a blog post announcing record payouts to the music industry in 2024.

In 2024, Spotify alone paid out a record $10 billion to the music industry — totaling nearly $60 billion since our founding.

The rest of the blog post, written by Spotify Music Business VP David Kaefer, explains how Spotify generates revenue that funds the music industry.

My takeaway is this: greater transparency in how artists—not just the music industry as a whole—are paid is welcome.

Apple IntelligenceAfter updating to iOS 18.3, ‌Apple Intelligence‌ is an opt-out feature, not an opt-in feature.

On these devices, ‌Apple Intelligence‌ is now turned on automatically when iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, or ‌macOS Sequoia‌ 15.3 is installed.

Apple Intelligence Notification SummariesiOS 18.3 makes several changes to ‌Apple Intelligence‌ Notification summaries to address complaints over notifications that have false news headlines.

Apple Music - iOS 18.3 fixes a bug that could cause audio playback to continue even after the Apple Music app is closed.

iOS 18.3 fixes 25 security vulnerabilities, including one that was actively exploited.

With today's watchOS 11.3 update, Apple accidentally broke watchOS updates for some older Apple Watch models, according to information circulating on social networks.

For Apple Watch models that are unable to be updated to watchOS 11, such as the Apple Watch Series 4 and Series 5, there is an unintended bug that prevents some of them from installing the latest version of watchOS 10, watchOS 10.6.1.

New Apple Mistake: Apple Watches that ended on watchOS 10.6.1 (Series 4/5, SE1) cannot update to watchOS 10.6.1 if they’re not already on it.

So an Apple Watch SE 1, Series 4, or Series 5 owner running an older version of watchOS cannot install watchOS 10.6.1 at the current time.

Marvel Snap, a popular game that was caught up in the TikTok ban, returned to the App Store today and it is once again available for download.

Marvel Snap creators Second Dinner said on January 19 that the removal of the app and a simultaneous gameplay outage came as a surprise.

The game was back up and running as of January 20, and on January 24, Second Dinner said that Marvel Snap would return to the ‌App Store‌ as soon as this week.

Along with re-adding Marvel Snap to the ‌App Store‌, Apple removed Marvel Snap from its list of ByteDance apps that are not being distributed in the U.S. at the current time.

Apple regularly releases new firmware for the AirPods, AirPods Pro, and AirPods Max, but the company has historically provided limited information on how to initiate an update.

That changed today, and Apple updated its AirPods firmware support page with more specific instructions.

Plug the charging cable into your charging case, then plug the other end of the cable into a USB charger or port.

Open the lid of the charging case to reconnect your AirPods to your iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

If you still can't update your firmware, reset your AirPods, then try to update your firmware again.

Along with new features, the iOS 18.3, iPadOS 18.3, and macOS Sequoia 15.3 updates that Apple released today include multiple security fixes, including a fix for vulnerability that may have been actively exploited on some devices.

Apple says that it is aware of a report that the bug could have been actively exploited against versions of iOS before iOS 17.2.

Because of the number of security issues fixed in the update, it is a good idea to update to the new software right away.

watchOS 11.3 and tvOS 18.3 also have a number of security fixes, so those updates should be installed as well.

If you have macOS Sonoma or Ventura, Apple has released macOS 14.7.3 and macOS Ventura 13.7.3 with securit…

Apple today released iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3, the third major updates to the iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 software that came out last year.

For iPhone 16 models, iOS 18.3 adds Visual Intelligence support for adding events to the Calendar app and identifying plants and animals.

Sporadic reports on social media are talking about how hooking up an external hard drive to a New Mac mini is dramatically cutting Wi-Fi speeds.

The desks and surfaces a Mac mini are generally placed on are wood, which has nearly no Wi-Fi attenuation.

A shorter-term solution for any of these docks is to not put them underneath the Mac mini.

Mac mini RF interference with low quality cablingThis has been trickier to test.

It was exacerbated by putting the Mac mini on top of the metal hard drive enclosure, adding material attenuation to the problem.

Judge Amit Metha ruled that Google is a search and advertising monopoly, and is in breach of Section 2 of the Sherman Act.

Following this, the trial continued, and it is shortly to be followed by what's called a remedy trial.

However, Judge Mehta said that Apple should have known from the outset in 2020 that the case could "directly affect its contractual rights."

Initially, Apple reportedly said that it wanted only limited intervention, and present witnesses who could address how proposed remedies would affect the company.

Judge Mehta intends to conclude the remedy trial with a ruling by August 2025.

From capturing high-quality audio to providing ready-made transcripts, iOS 18 equips you with essential tools on your iPhone or iPad.

Apple allows "Marvel Snap" to return to the App Store, presumably thanks to new publishing arrangements that gets the game away from the still-banned ByteDance.

Just days after was initially removed from the iOS App Store, Marvel Snap is now back for good.

Consequently, Marvel Snap was forced to cease operations within the United States and was removed from the Apple App Store.

That all changed on Monday, as Marvel Snap can now once again be downloaded and played on iPhones in the United States.

While Marvel Snap has managed to return to the App Store, TikTok, and other ByteDance applications still can't be downloaded from Apple's App Store.

Chinese AI app DeepSeek is on top of the App Store, challenging Apple Intelligence, and shaking Wall Street confidence in big tech.

While there are many smaller efforts to offer AI services, one has seemingly come out of nowhere in a surge of popularity.

You can ask it questions and to perform tasks, and it will use its large language model (LLM) to offer a response.

This is practically what ChatGPT and other competitors offer users, and isn't massively transformative on its own.

To try and counter the problem, and to limit its impact on new users, DeepSeek has limited the registration of new accounts temporarily.

Apple's iOS 18.3 and iPadOS 18.3 updates contain key security improvements and patch actively exploited vulnerabilities.

As with most iOS updates, iOS 18.3 addresses core security issues related to different features and aspects of the iPhone operating system.

iOS 18.3 fixes an actively exploited CoreMedia vulnerabilityMost notably, iOS 18.3 fixes a key vulnerability that was actively used by bad actors.

iOS 18.3 security fixes prevent denial-of-service attacksApple has resolved multiple vulnerabilities that would have allowed for denial-of-service attacks.

Overall, the iOS 18.3 update contains more than 20 different security fixes and patches a wide variety of vulnerabilities.

The designer of the new title sequence for season two of Apple TV+ hit "Severance," has detailed the many clues and hints in the sequence — even though he doesn't know what they mean either.

Somewhere around the middle of the 2000s, the television drama title sequence was dead.

Except a great sequence does so much that they've come back.

And now "Severance" season two has gone even further.

One such baby in the sequence is a crawling toddler version of Lumon founder Keir Eagan, but Latta doesn't know why.

Today, on the tenth anniversary of Overcast 1.0, I’m happy to launch a complete rewrite and redesign of most of the iOS app, built to carry Overcast into the next decade — and hopefully beyond.

Overcast is still Overcast!

It’s the best part of Overcast, and still leads the industry in sound quality, silence skipping, and volume normalization.

For Overcast to have a future, it needed a modern foundation for its second decade.

Смешивание цветов в SwiftUIВ последнем релизе SwiftUI появилась функция mix, с помощью которой можно программно смешивать цвета, определяя два цвета и цветовое пространство, в котором нужно представить результат. Все это, конечно, анимируемо, благодаря чему можно делать штуки вроде анимированной смены цветов светлой темы на темную.

TabletopKit – фреймворк для кооператива в visionOSБудущее visionOS туманно. Производство дорогих моделей остановили, появятся ли дешевые – не очень понятно. Но на технологии за ними все еще интересно посмотреть! Например, вот разбор того, как фреймворк TabletopKit использовали для создания escape room игры, и с какими проблемами столкнулись.

React Native в ShopifyОдно из главных приложений, использующих React Native – это Shopify. Про них рассказывают на всех конференциях, они довольно много контрибьютят и в сам проект, и в экосистему – короче говоря, двигают RN вперед. Так вот, ребята подбивают пять лет своего опыта работы с фреймворком, на который в итоге переехало большинство их проектов.

Небольшое напоминание – с 17 февраля из европейских App Store будут удалены все приложения, которым не был проставлен trader status.

Как AI меняет разработкуОтличный лонгрид про то, как текущее состояние AI меняет паттерны разработки. Вот несколько идей:👉Можно выделить две категории разработчиков. Бутстрапперы – те, кто использует разные генераторы приложений, чтобы за пару часов собрать работающий прототип. Итераторы – те, кто с помощью AI постепенно работает над существующей кодовой базой, вникая в суть изменений.👉AI позволяет нереально быстро выполнить первые 70% работы, но для большинства оставшиеся 30% становятся адом.👉Тех, кто успешно работает с AI, отличает следующее. Они не просто принимают сгенерированный код, а сначала разбивают его на модули поменьше, затем добавляют обработку всех эдж кейсов, проверяют и улуч…

Tab View Styles в SwiftUIМодификатор .tabViewStyle позволяет настраивать нестандартные поведения для табов в таббаре. Например, дать пользователю возможность кастомизировать порядок табов через drag-and-drop.

В Xcode 16 можно создать новый файл, просто скопировав в буфер обмена кусок кода, выбрав в навигаторе нужную директорию, и нажав "вставить".

Отслеживаем стабильность API библиотекОдна из самых сложных задач в развитии библиотеки – поддержка обратной совместимости.

Как с помощью AI быстро локализовать приложениеЛокализовать приложение на все нужные языки теперь очень просто. В статье рассматривается один из возможных воркфлоу с использованием AI для того, чтобы получить перевод в первом приближении, и сервис POEditor для проверки его волонтерами.

Продолжаем погружаться в глубинный лор SQLite. Оказывается, изначально его разработали под нужды эсминца USS Oscar Austin, чтобы в случае отказа полноценного сервера софт мог продолжать функционировать.

In a recent article, my buddy @artemnovichkov provides an insightful look into creating a GitHub Contribution Graph using Swift Charts. The piece delves into how developers can effectively leverage Swift Charts to build customizable, data-rich visualizations.https://www.artemnovichkov.com/blog/github-contribution-graph-swift-charts#SwiftUI #Charts

When using a modular architecture, consider checking the ENABLE_MODULE_VERIFIER project setting. Disabling this flag can significantly reduce build times, especially in projects with a large number of modules. While it is useful for identifying issues with frameworks before distribution, it may not be necessary for most general projects.https://pfandrade.me/blog/swift-build-times-and-module-verification/#optimization #Xcode

A short but insightful article on the non-obvious quirks of SwiftUI's Menu component. Jeff addresses common issues developers face when using HStack and VStack in Menu, offering practical solutions to overcome them.https://jeffverkoeyen.com/blog/2024/08/16/SwiftUI-Menu-subtitle-shenanigans/#SwiftUI

If you want to go beyond writing the usual tests we are all used to, there is a demonstration of how to automatically detect memory leaks in applications using UI tests on CI.https://www.polpiella.dev/automatically-detect-memory-leaks-using-ui-tests/#testing

In interviews, questions about the stack and heap are common, excpecially where is what object stored? You can impress the interviewers by discussing trivial types in Swift. Mention that you can use an underscored function to determine whether a type involves heap allocations and reference counting or not.// POD - Plain old data_isPOD(Int.self) // true_isPOD(Array.self) // falseHow to know if a value type includes heap allocations and ref countinghttps://forums.swift.org/t/how-to-know-if-a-value-type-includes-heap-allocations-and-ref-counting/72919/3Trying to understand POD (plain old datatypes)https://forums.swift.org/t/trying-to-understand-pod-plain-old-datatypes/49738

What a huge update with Swift 6 – it's packed with cool new features! A lot of the updates are all about making concurrency smoother and more efficient, which is super exciting. Plus, there are other great improvements and language tweaks that make coding in Swift even better.https://www.hackingwithswift.com/articles/269/whats-new-in-swift-6#Swift

Xcode 16 brings a lot of updates - I want to share some of them that I find interesting:- Predictive code completion- Support for EditorConfig- Explicitly built modules - more actionable error messages, improved debugger performance, and better scheduling decisions which maximize parallelism. LLDB can now import explicitly-built Swift and Clang modules directly- A new code deduplication algorithm brings additional code size savings and an improved static link time performance- New execution engine for Previews - shared build products between Build and Run and Previews, switching between the two is instant- Previews now support previewing views inside of static libraries- You can cut text fr…

Stephen and Brandon wrote an article to address common questions and misconceptions about the Composable Architecture (TCA). They aim to clarify its benefits, its relationship with SwiftUI, and its suitability for various apps. The article also tackles comparisons with Redux, and concerns about complexity, performance, and boilerplate code. Additionally, it discusses action modeling and state management efficiency within TCA.https://www.pointfree.co/blog/posts/141-composable-architecture-frequently-asked-questions#TCA #architecture

Author decided to explore the Attribute Graph - a key part of how SwiftUI updates the user interface. While the topic is advanced, it provides valuable insights for developers eager to dive into layout mechanism under the hood. 🤯https://rensbr.eu/blog/swiftui-attribute-graph/#SwiftUI #layout

If you also thought that in VStask the default spacing value is always 8, then this article is here to clarify.https://fatbobman.com/en/posts/spacing-of-swiftui/#SwiftUI #Layout

I often find that developers are confused about which component is best for them: ZStack or overlay (+background). So I hope this short article will clarify the differences and help delve deeper into the unique properties of these two modifiers.https://fatbobman.com/en/posts/in-depth-exploration-of-overlay-and-background-modifiers-in-swiftui/#SwiftUI #layout
