I've been fooling around with this and I lose "stuff"
I have an idea for an app for awhile (5+ years) and it took awhile (a year or more to figure out how to develop on - I know C/C++/FORTRAN, started in the punch card era). I ended up using the MacBook I had, some books and chatGPT and plunged into development. BTW this was all happening while I'm retired, included moving to FL from MD. There are times where development stops for months at a time, I've started and stopped at least four or five times on different portions of the project. I've realized that I can actually skip the user interface until the end if ever. At the beginning of code development, I did little more that "Hello world" programs to get my feet wet. Golf, pickleball, doctor appointments, etc. interrupts development. When I get back to it, my code has "disappeared", I open Xcode, open the project and I don't see any of my code - where did it go? I did find the code using the Finder in Directory/projname/projname/ContentView.swift (I'm not sure why projname is duplicated, no doubt my ignorance!) - so the code is still present, somewhere!

De Syrische vlag met drie sterren in de bèta-update van iOS 18.4
De officiële Syrische vlag met twee sterren is vervangen door de huidige Syrische vlag met drie sterren, wetende dat geen enkel land ter wereld de vlag van het land vervangt zonder deze in de grondwet van het land op te nemen. Daarom is het beter om de Syrische vlag met twee sterren te behouden in de volgende iOS 18.4-release, of beide vlaggen samen te voegen, omdat de meeste Syriërs niet de voorkeur geven aan de vlag met drie sterren.

Appleインビテーションで招待された人の条件は?
説明ではApple Accountが無くても回答可能とあるが、招待された画面を開きメールアドレスを入力するとApple acountのパスワードを入れるか、新規にacountを作成する画面になる。 Apple Accountが無い人は何も出来ないのか?それともあのパスワード欄は新規にパスワード登録するためのもの? また、招待を送ったメールアドレスとApple acountのメールアドレスが違う場合はどうなるのだろう? 誰か試した人いますか?

Unwanted Communication error cut off, no report sent
Hi, I've been trying to debug an issue with my extension. I am able to register the extension on install of my app, can select it under Phone> SMS/Call Reporting. When I touch Report it brings up my view controller, with the sender and message details. I set let response = ILClassificationResponse(action: .reportJunk) I've added debug logs throughout my extension and everything looks good. Now when MobileSMS takes over, I see: default 23:15:09.837024-0400 MobileSMS response: extension: error 23:15:09.837328-0400 MobileSMS error reporting SMS response: default 23:15:09.837387-0400 MobileSMS Finished, invoking didCompleteClassificationRequest info 23:15:09.837487-0400 MobileSMS didCompleteClassificationRequest -- di I don't see what the error is, and that last log entry is cut off at "di". I've confirmed my info.plist, allowed domains, aasa, and my remote API is not touched. Any advice? Xcode 16.3 Testing on iPhone 16e iOS 18.4.1

Spotlight services not fully stopping
I wish to have all spotlight services stopped on my MacBook, however with turning all options off in the settings and also the "Help Apple Improve Search" option, however the option turns back on whenever there is a restart on the laptop as well as background services running. How can I disable this permanently? I have tried to following as well: sudo mdutil -a -i off sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.metadata.mds.user.plist sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.spotlight.plist sudo launchctl disable system/com.apple.metadata.mds However with ps aux | grep -E "mds|Spotlight|corespotlightd" it still shows spotlight related services running: User1 73830 0.0 0.0 410741568 1680 s018 S+ 11:58am 0:00.00 grep -E mds|Spotlight|corespotlightd root 3170 0.0 0.0 410682288 4816 ??

S 20Jan25 14:00.32 /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/Metadata.framework/Versions/A/Support/corespotlightd What else can I try in order to stop these and to stay shut off after turning my laptop on and off again?

Spotlight Search Broken with MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1
I used spotlight search for almost everything I do through cmd+space. However ever since i updated my laptop to MacOS Sequoia 15.3.1, the spotlight search won't give me app results: for example i type "flux" and will get just web-based results, not the app. I tried going into the spotlight settings and only enabling applications to be searched for results and got nothing. I tried the same with the Notes app, i get the same result, i get some notes i wrote as result but not the actual app. It doesn't happen on all apps for example Brave or Spotify work.

Saving a file using field at the top of document
Hi there, with the latest update, the ability to click in the file name field at the top of a document (eg Pages, Numbers) to add or change the name of the file, then select filing location, no longer works. Previously, a user could do this and then hit 'return' and it would save to that location with that new file name. It no longer does this. This is a very useful functionality to have. Can it be returned in a future update?

MacOS sometimes not asking for password after sleep when close lid
Sometimes, when I close the lid using the MacOs version Sequoia 15.2, with the configuration to require a password for 5 seconds, the system does not ask for the password as expected. This happens sometimes even though nothing preventing the system from sleeping when you close and open the lid, but it still seems like a security concern. Is there some known issue related to this problem or a way to avoid it? Result of command pmset -g: Configuration:

İphone 16 camera problem
İphone 16 cihazım ios 18.3.1 yüklü. Kamerada donma, odaklanma ve siyah ekran şikayetim var. Apple servisi ile görüştüğümde cihazın bütün donanım testlerinden basarıyla geçtiğini söylediler. Sorunun yazılımsal olduğunu söylediler. rica ediyorum bu iphone 16 için bu kamera sorununu ortadan kaldıracak ara bir düzeltme güncellemesi gönderin. Ve bu konuda azımsanmayacak kadar mağdur apple gönül dostları vardır. Bizi kaybetmeyin. Size güvenimizin boş olmadığını bizlere gösterin. Saygılarımla

I noticed that the Uber Driver app is able to get location in background without the permissions (How?)
The Uber Driver app is able to get background location and there’s no way to turn it off from settings. Unlike other apps where there’s always an option to turn off background location from settings. Is this a bug or special treatment for big companies? this matters to me because we’re in a similar business but our app has to request background permissions, explicitly. I am attaching both of the screenshots here for you to compare and see. Please note that I verified personally that Uber Driver app is able to get background location.

The fall of the app on the imageWithConfiguration
I have an old application. It worked at one time. Due to changes in the user environment, it is now possible to download applications from the AppStore. I built the app and sent it for review. And I received a report that my app crashed at startup. I tried to reproduce the fall for myself, but it didn't work out. In the crash log, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the app. Please help me and tell me what I should look for in the log or in the application. The crash location (which I found in the log): _UIPathLazyImageAsset imageWithConfiguration cl-1.crash cl-1-n.crash

File/folder Permissions Issues
Currently running 15.5 Beta 3 on a Mac Studio M4. I am unable to read/write to my Home folder from most of my applications. I receive an error basically saying I do not have access rights to the file/folder. If I go to the file directly and open it, it works. I have repaired disk permissions, checked the Sharing & Permissions settings via Get Info, and finally called Apple. Of course, since I am running the beta, the support was quite limited. I will add that I am also unable to open .dmgs that have been downloaded to my Downloads folder. I receive the "The disk image couldn’t be opened. The operation couldn’t be completed. Operation not permitted" error. If I copy the .dmg to another drive, I can open it from there.

swift编写的工程无法获取OC制作的sdk传输的数据
在使用xcode15.2与iOS14.2版本的手机进行调试时,发现OC编译的sdk无法正常传输数据给swift编写的项目。当我的手机连接xcode调试的时候,数据能够正常传输、转换。当我断开手机与xcode的连接的时候,就无法正常获取数据了。而这个问题目前我只发现在iOS14.2中。当我使用iOS17与iOS18手机调试时没有出现这个问题。请问有没有人遇到过相似的问题。

Fitbit Google login Issue in WKWebView
I’m developing an app that has a Fitbit login page embedded in a WKWebView. On the Fitbit login page, there is a Google login button. When I try to log in to Fitbit via Google, some devices redirect back to the Fitbit login page even after entering the correct Google credentials. However, it works on the second attempt. I tested the same URL in the default browser, and it works fine when the page is loaded in the browser instead of inside the WebView. I tried the following workarounds but was unable to fix the issue: 1. Enabled JavaScript in WebView. 2. Tried cookie synchronization between WKWebsiteDataStore and HTTPCookieStorage.
