Sticker Pack Not Appearing in iMessage
Description: I have developed an iOS app that includes a sticker pack feature. However, when adding stickers to iMessage, they are not appearing as expected. Despite following the standard procedures, the stickers are not visible in the iMessage app. The issue persists even after ensuring compatibility with the latest iOS version. Attached is an image that highlights the problem. Any guidance or suggestions to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Shared Web Credentials usage when creating a Message Filter App Extension
Feedback on Documentation Page for Message Filter App Extension Documentation: Creating a Message Filter App Extension Hello, I am writing to provide feedback on the documentation for creating a message filter app extension. We followed the instructions on the page, particularly the section regarding setting up shared credentials. The instructions state: "Then, you must set up shared credentials as described in Shared Web Credentials, substituting messagefilter for webcredentials throughout the steps. Lastly, you must specify the domains in your Info.plist file, which should look similar to the dictionary shown below." However, when we tried to implement this, we encountered the following error while attempting to save credentials via the SecAddSharedWebCredential function from the message filter extension: Error Domain=com.apple.security.xpc Code=3 "<connection: 0x12e0d4500> { name = com.apple.securityd, listener = false, pid = 0, euid = 4294967295, egid = 4294967295, asid = 4294967295 }: Connection invalid - failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction" UserInfo={numberOfErrorsDeep=0, NSDescription=<connection: 0x12e0d4500> { name = com.apple.securityd, listener = false, pid = 0, euid = 4294967295, egid = 0, asid = 4294967295}: Connection invalid - failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction} The specific call we did: func SecAddSharedWebCredential( _ fqdn: CFString, _ account: CFString, _ password: CFString?, _ completionHandler: @escaping (CFError?) -> Void ) This error seems related to sandbox restrictions. The documentation does not provide enough information on how to properly set up the environment or what additional configurations might be needed to avoid such sandbox restrictions. More detailed guidance on configuring sandbox permissions and any additional steps required for setting up shared credentials in a message filter extension context would be highly beneficial. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to any updates or clarifications you can provide to improve the implementation.

How do I submit an UPDATE for my Sticker Pack in xCode 15??
I have 5 sticker packs in the App Store. I had an older Mac and it finally was too old for more MacOS updates and therefore too old to update xCode, so I haven't done any updates to my packs or looked at xCode in nearly 3 years. I FINALLY got a new Mac. I've got xCode 15 installed and with latest updates - and it looks so foreign! Things I can't find: Where in xCode can I change the version and build #? This used to be so obvious. I decided to start from scratch with my project. Clicked on new Sticker Pack App. Dragged in my icons and stickers and new updates I've created. When I went to archive, it says it can't because it already exists. Oh boy. In addition to this, I'm also lost on how to put in ALT tags for accessibility. This was also super obvious in the version of xCode I was using 3 years ago - I could click on each sticker and in the right pane I could put in the words for voice over for visually impaired. Now that is gone. One of my reviews thanked me for making my sticker pack accessible. I don't want to lose that ability - but I cannot find out where the heck it's hiding. The OnDemand Resource Tags definitely aren't it - since adding info in one puts the same tags on ALL the stickers.

Application already supports iMessage Extension can not appear in Stickers on iOS 17.0
Our application already supports an iMessage Extension, allowing users to create and send custom or trending stickers. On iOS 17.0, a popup menu replaces the old tab in iMessage with a "Stickers" option, and iMessage extensions are put in the "More" option. The "Stickers" page only shows the Sticker Pack Extension. However, an application can only support Sticker Pack Extension or iMessage Extension. Get this error: "Multiple message payload provider extensions found in app but only one is allowed". Is there any workaround here? We want our application to keep the iMessage extension but also provide sticker packs.

App Clip iMessage Sharing Not Working
We have been having problems with our app clip not working when sharing through iMessage. The app and app clip are published and work correctly when scanning a QR code that points to the URL: https://www.coderus.com/locations?loc=1 however if this same URL is shared through the iMessage app, a link to the website displays and not the app clip card. We have confirmed that: AASA file is available and has the type application/json Both devices are above iOS 14 Both devices are in each other's contacts The website has the meta tag for the smart app clip banner The website has a meta tag for the og:image Launch experiences have been configured on AppStoreConnect - as said before, the QR codes work correctly The link leads to a 404 page, I wasn't sure if there needs to be an actual page that the link points to as app clips seem to work fine without when scanning the QR code through the camera app.
