Hello everyone and thank you for you're time!
I got an issue with uploading several icons to testflight. I'm using Game Maker Studio as my engine for the game.
This is the error that I'm getting, even when I try to use the old icons for the game, that worked in the past. I tried to transform the icons, using this site "https://makeappicon.com/", but I still got the same validation error. Can you help me fixing the issue - thank you so much!

Hello!
Brand new to the Apple developer community, so, hello everyone! I'm a game developer, we just launched our first game on PC and I'm looking to port it to ios. Time is something I'm kind of short on, and I hear it takes some jumping through hoops to get the know-how to port something to mobile. Any good sites you'd recommend for finding programmers to port your game? It's fairly simple - just a visual novel. Any and all suggestions welcome!
All the best!

I’m trying to create a CGContext that matches my screen using the following code
let context = CGContext(
data: pixelBuffer,
width: pixelWidth, // 3456
height: pixelHeight, // 2234
bitsPerComponent: 10, // PixelEncoding = "--RRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGBBBBBBBBBB"
bytesPerRow: bytesPerRow, // 13824
space: CGColorSpace(name: CGColorSpace.extendedSRGB)!,
bitmapInfo: CGImageAlphaInfo.none.rawValue
| CGImagePixelFormatInfo.RGBCIF10.rawValue
| CGImageByteOrderInfo.order16Little.rawValue
)
But it fails with an error
CGBitmapContextCreate: unsupported parameter combination:
RGB
10 bits/component, integer
13824 bytes/row
kCGImageAlphaNone
kCGImageByteOrder16Little
kCGImagePixelFormatRGBCIF10

See Quartz 2D Programming Guide (available online) for more information.
Why is it unsupported if it matches the 6th option? (32 bits per pixel, 10 bits per component, kCGImageAlphaNone|kCGImagePixelFormatRGBCIF10|kCGImageByteOrder16Little)
End goal: to detect 3 lines, and 2 corners accurately. Trying contours but they are a bit off. Is there a way or settings in contours to detect corners and lines more accurately, maybe less an sharper edged/corner contours? Or some other API or methods please?
I would love an email please ;) thank you. 2. also an overlay/scale issue
Hello all... is there a way to close a contour if you have found say two points on each side top "extension"? see image attached. So in end desire a trapezoid type shape. Code example would be very appreciated. thank you :) Think I have it as a CGPath. So a way to edit a CGPath, or close the top from a top left to a top right point?
I have a CoreImage pipeline and one of my steps is to rotate my image about the origin (bottom left corner) and then translate it. I'm not seeing the behaviour I'm expecting, and I think my problem is in how I'm combining these two steps.
As an example, I start with an identity transform
(lldb) po transform333
▿ CGAffineTransform
- a : 1.0
- b : 0.0
- c : 0.0
- d : 1.0
- tx : 0.0
- ty : 0.0
I then rotate 1.57 radians (approx. 90 degrees, CCW)
transform333 = transform333.rotated(by: 1.57)
- a : 0.0007963267107332633
- b : 0.9999996829318346
- c : -0.9999996829318346
- d : 0.0007963267107332633
- tx : 0.0
- ty : 0.0
I understand the current contents of the transform.
But then I translate by 10, 10:
(lldb) po transform333.translatedBy(x: 10, y: 10)
- a : 0.0007963267107332633
- b : 0.9999996829318346
- c : -0.9999996829318346
- d : 0.0007963267107332633
- tx : -9.992033562211013
- ty : 10.007960096425679
I was expecting tx and ty to be 10 and 10.
I have noticed that when I reverse the order of these operations, the transform contents look correct. So I'll most likely just perform the steps in what feels to me like the incorrect order.
Is anyone willing/able to point me to an explanation of why the steps I'm performing are giving me these results?
thanks,
mike
I am extracting a JPEG2000 (JP2) facial image from an NFC passport chip (ISO/IEC 19794-5) and attempting to create a UIImage from it.
On iOS 16, the following code works fine:
import ImageIO
import UIKit
func getUIImage(from imageData: [UInt8]) -> UIImage? {
let data = Data(imageData)
guard let imageSource = CGImageSourceCreateWithData(data as CFData, nil),
let cgImage = CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex(imageSource, 0, nil) else {
print("Failed to decode JP2 image!")
return nil
}
return UIImage(cgImage: cgImage)
}
However, on iOS 18, this fails with errors like:
initialize:1415: *** invalid JPEG2000 file ***
makeImagePlus:3752: *** ERROR: 'JP2 ' - failed to create image [-50]
CGImageSourceCreateImageAtIndex: *** ERROR: failed to create image [-59]
Questions:
Did Apple remove or modify JPEG2000 support in iOS 18?
Is there an official workaround for decoding JPEG2000 on iOS 18?
Should I use Vision/Metal/Core Image instead?
Is there a recommended way to convert JPEG2000 to JPEG/PNG before creating a UIImage?
Are there any Apple-provided APIs that maintain backward compatibility for JPEG2000 decoding?
Additional Info:
The UInt8 array has a valid JPEG2000 header (0x00 0x00 0x00 0x0C 6A 50 ...).
The image works on iOS 16 but fails on iOS 18.
Tested on iPhone running iOS 18.0 beta.
Any insights on how to handle JPEG2000 decoding in iOS 18 would be greatly appreciated! 🚀
If I create a bitmap image and then try to get ready to draw into it, like so:
NSBitmapImageRep* newRep = [[NSBitmapImageRep alloc]
initWithBitmapDataPlanes: nullptr
pixelsWide: 128
pixelsHigh: 128
bitsPerSample: 8
samplesPerPixel: 4
hasAlpha: YES
isPlanar: NO
colorSpaceName: NSDeviceRGBColorSpace
bitmapFormat: NSBitmapFormatAlphaNonpremultiplied |
NSBitmapFormatThirtyTwoBitBigEndian
bytesPerRow: 4 * 128
bitsPerPixel: 32];
[NSGraphicsContext setCurrentContext:
[NSGraphicsContext graphicsContextWithBitmapImageRep: newRep]];
then the log shows this error:
CGBitmapContextCreate: unsupported parameter combination:

See Quartz 2D Programming Guide (available online) for more information.
If I don't use NSBitmapFormatAlphaNonpremultiplied as part of the format, I don't get the error message. My question is, why does the constant NSBitmapFormatAlphaNonpremultiplied exist if you can't use it like this?
If you're wondering why I wanted to do this: I want to extract the RGBA pixel data from an image, which might have non-premultiplied alpha. And elsewhere online, I saw advice that if you want to look at the pixels of an image, draw it into a bitmap whose format you know and look at those pixels. And I don't want the process of drawing to premultiply my alpha.
For an app of mine I use CGSetDisplayTransferByTable to adjust the gamma table of the device. Since macOS Tahoe, these modifications are silently ignored. The display's actual gamma curve remains unchanged despite the API reporting successful completion.
I've filed a FB for it a few weeks ago, and would love to figure out what could be causing this.

I'm trying to apply a CIBumpDistortion Core Image filter to a view that contains a UILabel (my storyLabel). The goal is to create a visual bump/magnifying glass effect over the text.
However, despite my attempts, the filter doesn't seem to render at all. The view and the label appear as normal, with no distortion effect. I've tried adjusting the filter parameters and reviewing the view hierarchy, but without success. I also haven't been able to find clear documentation or examples for applying this filter to a UIView's layer.

I haven't been looking at screensavers for a long time because of Apple's lack of will (or resources?) to provide a public version of the private modern SDK used by Apple for a very long time now.
I'm now looking at the Screen Saver pane in System Settings (the What-If version of System Preferences in an alternate universe where all screens are in portrait mode).
In macOS Sequoia, it seems like 3rd party screensavers are not welcome considering that they are relegated to the "Other" section at the bottom of the list and you have to click Show All to start seeing 3rd party screen savers.
I also had a quick look at macOS Tahoe Beta 3 and it looks like that all the real screensavers are gone (3rd party and the ones from Apple: Hello, Message, Flurry, etc.) or at least it requires to be a Nobel Prize to find them (and the Search field is not useful).
I tried to install a 3rd party screen saver on macOS Tahoe Beta 3, it doesn't show up in the list.
To summarize:
No public access to modern APIs AFAIK.
UI that is hostile to 3rd party screen savers on macOS Sequoia.
Apparently only screensavers that are slideshows or movies curated by Apple in macOS Tahoe b3.
Hence the question:
Is there any future for screen savers on macOS?
Because if there's none, I won't waste my time trying to update some old screen savers.
I'm experiencing an issue with PDFKit where page.removeAnnotation(annotation) successfully removes the annotation from the page's data structure, but the PDFView no longer updates automatically to reflect the change visually.
Issue Details:
The annotation is removed (verified by checking page.annotations.count)
The PDFView display doesn't refresh to show the removal
This code was working correctly before and suddenly stopped working
No code changes were made on my end
Hi Apple team,
Game Mode was introduced in iOS 18. To activate Game Mode, an app must include specific key-value pairs in its *.plist and be categorized as a "Game" on the App Store.
My app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voidlink/id6747717070) works primarily as a self-hosted game streaming (PC->iPhone/iPad) client. Game Mode provides clear benefits in terms of latency and frame rate stability, but it can currently only be activated when running via Xcode or TestFlight.
I am an individual iOS developer based in China, where an additional government license is required for apps to be listed under the "Game" category on the App Store. Obtaining such a license is very difficult for independent developers, so my app has been categorized under "Utilities" instead.(If move the app to game category, it will disappear from Chinese App Store immediately)
Expectation / Suggestion:
Please consider making Game Mode available as a local, user-controllable option on iOS18/26+, such as through a system “App Pool” where users can choose which apps to enable Game Mode for, regardless of App Store category.
This would greatly benefit use cases like streaming clients, benchmarking tools, and remote play utilities, without requiring developers to reclassify their apps as “Games” on App Store.

I have a Mac Studio 2023 M2 Max
Running Sonoma 14.6.1
Developing in XCode 16.1
It seems that the NSScreen frame settings may be incorrect. The frame settings received from NSScreen.screens don't seem to match up with the Desktop arrangement settings in the Settings.
Apologies in advance for this long post!
for screen in NSScreen.screens {
let name = screen.localizedName
Globals.logger.debug("Globals initializeScreens - screen \(i) '\(name, privacy: .public)'")
Globals.logger.debug("Globals initializeScreens - '\(screen.debugDescription, privacy: .public)'")
}
This is what I receive in the log:
Globals initializeScreens - '<NSScreen: 0x600000ef4240;
name="PHL 346E2C";
backingScaleFactor=1.000000;
frame={{0, 0}, {3440, 1440}};
visibleFrame={{0, 0}, {3440, 1415}}>'
Globals initializeScreens - screen 2 'Blackmagic (1)'
Globals initializeScreens - '<NSScreen: 0x600000ef42a0;
name="Blackmagic (1)";
backingScaleFactor=1.000000;
frame={{-3840, 0}, {1920, 1080}};
visibleFrame={{-3840, 0}, {1920, 1055}}>'
Globals initializeScreens - screen 3 'Blackmagic (4)'
Globals initializeScreens - '<NSScreen: 0x600000ef4360;
name="Blackmagic (4)";
backingScaleFactor=1.000000;
frame={{-1920, 0}, {1920, 1080}};
visibleFrame={{-1920, 0}, {1920, 1055}}>'
Globals initializeScreens - screen 4 'Blackmagic (2)'
Globals initializeScreens - '<NSScreen: 0x600000ef43c0;
name="Blackmagic (2)";
backingScaleFactor=1.000000;
frame={{5360, 0}, {1920, 1080}};
visibleFrame={{5360, 0}, {1920, 1055}}>'
Globals initializeScreens - screen 5 'Blackmagic (3)'
Globals initializeScreens - '<NSScreen: 0x600000ef4420;
name="Blackmagic (3)";
backingScaleFactor=1.000000;
frame={{3440, 0}, {1920, 1080}};
visibleFrame={{3440, 0}, {1920, 1055}}>'
It looks like the frame settings for Blackmagic (2) and Blackmagic (4) are switched.
The setup has five monitors. Four are using the USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapters. The output for these are streamed into a rack of A/V equipment using BlackMagic Design mini converters and monitors.
My Swift application allows users to open four movies, one for each of the AV Adapters. The movies can then be played back in sync for later processing by the A/V equipment.
Here are some screen captures that show my display settings.
Blackmagic (1) and Blackmagic (2) are to the left of the main screen.
Blackmagic (3) and Blackmagic(4) are to the right of the main screen.
The desktop is hard to see but is correct.
The wallpaper settings are all correct.
The wallpaper is correctly ordered when displayed on the monitors.
After opening the movies and using the NSScreen frame settings, the displays are incorrectly ordered. Test B and Test D are switched, which is what I would expect given the NSScreen frame values.
Any ideas? I've tried re-arranging the desktops, rebooting, etc. but no luck.
The code that changes the screen location is similar to this post on Stack Overflow
public func setDisplay( screen: NSScreen ) {
Globals.logger.log("MovieWindowController - setDisplay = \(screen.localizedName, privacy: .public)")
Globals.logger.debug("MovieWindowController - setDisplay - '\(screen.debugDescription, privacy: .public)'")
let dx = CGFloat(Constants.midX)
let dy = CGFloat(Constants.midY)
var pos = NSPoint()
pos.x = screen.visibleFrame.midX - dx
pos.y = screen.visibleFrame.midY - dy
Globals.logger.debug("MovieWindowController - setDisplay - x = '\(pos.x, privacy: .public)', y = '\(pos.y, privacy: .public)'")
window?.setFrameOrigin(pos)
}
The log show just what I would expect given the incorrect frame values.
MovieWindowController - setDisplay = Blackmagic (1)
MovieWindowController - setDisplay - '<NSScreen: 0x6000018e8420; name="Blackmagic (1)"; backingScaleFactor=1.000000; frame={{-3840, 0}, {1920, 1080}}; visibleFrame={{-3840, 0}, {1920, 1055}}>'
MovieWindowController - setDisplay - x = '-3840.000000', y = '-12.500000'
MovieWindowController - setDisplay = Blackmagic (2)
MovieWindowController - setDisplay - '<NSScreen: 0x6000018a10e0; name="Blackmagic (2)"; backingScaleFactor=1.000000; frame={{5360, 0}, {1920, 1080}}; visibleFrame={{5360, 0}, {1920, 1055}}>'
MovieWindowController - setDisplay - x = '5360.000000', y = '-12.500000'
MovieWindowController - setDisplay = Blackmagic (3)
MovieWindowController - setDisplay - '<NSScreen: 0x6000018cc8a0; name="Blackmagic (3)"; backingScaleFactor=1.000000; frame={{3440, 0}, {1920, 1080}}; visibleFrame={{3440, 0}, {1920, 1055}}>'
MovieWindowController - setDisplay - x = '3440.000000', y = '-12.500000'
MovieWindowController - setDisplay = Blackmagic (4)
MovieWindowController - setDisplay - '<NSScreen: 0x6000018c9ce0; name="Blackmagic (4)"; backingScaleFactor=1.000000; frame={{-1920, 0}, {1920, 1080}}; visibleFrame={{-1920, 0}, {1920, 1055}}>'
MovieWindowController - setDisplay - x = '-1920.000000', y = '-12.500000'
Am I correct? I think this is driving me crazy!
Thanks in advance!
Edit: The mouse behavior is correct in moving across the displays!

We as a team of engineers work on an app intended to visualize medical images. The type of situations where the app is used involves time critical decision making for acute clinical conditions. Stability of the app and performance are of utmost importance and can directly help timely treatment action. The app we are developing uses multiple libraries and tools like vtk, webgl, opengl, webkit, gl-matrix etc.
The problem specifically can be described as follows, it has been observed that when 3D volume is rendered in the app and we try to rotate the volume the rotation is slow, unresposive and laggy. Specifically, we have noticed that iOS 18.1 the volume rotation is much smoother as compared to latest iOS 18.2. Eariler, we have faced somewhat similar issue with iOS 17 but it got improved in iOS 18.1. This performance regression is affecting the user experience in our healthcare application.
We have taken reference from the cornerstone.js code and you can reproduce the issue using the following example: https://www.cornerstonejs.org/live-examples/volumeviewport3d
Steps to Reproduce:
Load the above mentioned test example on an iPhone running version 18.2 using safari.
Perform volume rendering using the provided dataset.
Measure the time taken by volume for each rotate or drag action.
Repeat the same steps on an iPhone running version 18.1 for comparison.
Additional Information:
Device Model Tested:
iPhone12, iPhone13, iPhone14
iOS Version With Issue:
18.2
18.3(Beta)
I would appreciate any insights or suggestions on how to address this performance regression. If additional information is needed, please let me know.
Thank you.
Hello, we are working on a iOS game project, as progress, the project grows larger and larger. Because we are using other game dependencies and libraries, here larger and larger refers to the whole project, and our source files integrated and compiled by Xcode are not many. Now, it seems we hit a bottleneck, when I add new files or functions to the previous files to implement a new feature, Xcode compile stucks(stops), it's Indexing | Initializing datastore forever, cannot produce a final build.
macOS 15.1, Xcode 16.2
Can you provide any solutions to solve this problem?

After updating to MacOS 26.1 I encountered an issue that Roblox tends to freeze quite often for 10 - 60 seconds at most, this is really annoying that it is doing this as i play the game a lot. My theory is that it is like a driver issue with metal or something, I have reinstalled MacOS, reinstalled the game and lowed the performance manually but nothing is working.
Wondering if you could help, when it will be fixed and if others are having the same issue.
Many thanks, William.
Hello
XQuartz is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.Org X Window System (https://www.xquartz.org/), widely used to bring graphical support to applications running in remote servers (usually via SSH).
Since macOS Tahoe, XQuartz fails to refresh properly on window resize (more info here https://github.com/XQuartz/XQuartz/issues/438#issuecomment-3371409500), leading to severe usability issues.
The XQuartz developers are already aware of the issue, but I’m wondering if there’s anything we can do at the OS level to resolve it and restore the usual behavior from before macOS Tahoe.
Thanks,
KiM
