Hello! I am developing an ebook reader iOS app that uses c/c++ codec as a page renderer. The codec uses TrueType as a font rendering engine that requires access to .ttf (or .ttc) files. Currently, I supply TrueType with fonts embedded in the app package, so they lay within the app sandbox. The codec supports the whole unicode plane and many languages that ebooks may use, but the fonts I supply don't have some of the important glyphs (i.e. katakana or hangul). I see that iOS has its own font storage, located in /System/Library/Fonts/ directory. The codec is able to parse this directory and read .ttf files located inside, using these fonts as a fallback in the case when the supplied fonts can't draw certain glyphs. I use opendir and fopen(in "rb" mode) as a way to read the data, and it works well. Does this type of access to the system directory violate the sandbox rule for an app distribution, and, if yes, is there a way to get access to stored .ttf files not violating the mentioned rule?

Hi, I've been trying for an hour to turn the symbols in sf symbols from left to right to right to left, I'd appreciate some help

Hello there, I have a couple of question about Apple Pay guidelines: • if we offer Apple Pay payment method in our app, can we disable the selection (I mean the method selection NOT the Payment button!) IF certain condition happens? E.g. the user cannot select apple pay payment method because our basket is not ready yet. • Are we forced to move the apple pay payment method on the top of our selection? E.g. Cards, Cash On Delivery, Coupon, Apple Pay --> Apple Pay, Cards, Cash On Delivery, Coupon One last technical question: • when we start the payment process we are gonna create the request and present the sheet BUT we have to call our backend for pre-authorization, is it allowed? @objc private func applePayButtonTapped(sender: UIButton) { // TODO: Is it allowed? // We need to ask to our backend a pre-authorization and THEN procced with Apple Pay flow // but this could be done ONLY after the user TAP on BUY with APPLE PAY and BEFORE // paymentAuthorizationViewController is called. // Are we compliant to do that? if PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController.canMakePayments(usingNetworks: FakeData.paymentInfo()) { let request = PKPaymentRequest() request.blablabla = blabla let authorizationViewController = PKPaymentAuthorizationViewController(paymentRequest: request) if let viewController = authorizationViewController { viewController.delegate = self present(viewController, animated: true, completion: nil) } } } Thanks in advance :)

My app lets users create things with text, and I've included Apple fonts so users can format their text with them. These were fonts I found in the Font Book app that comes with macOS. My assumption is that these, like the San Francisco font, can be distributed with apps. Do I need to attribute these fonts to their creators and publish a license in my "About" page? If so, where do I find the license(s) and what is the proper way of publishing them? Is there anything else I should know? Please let me know if this should've been posted under a different topic and tag

Hi, I have a button view that is used in many different ways in an app that I'm working on. One of the ways it is used is in an account creation form. Since the button is in a child view, the action: { } button function isn't available in the view where the input field variables are. I could import the class with the function to the button view but I don't want to pass the input field variables into the button view. I tried binding a boolean variable to the button view and checked for it's state change in the parent view using .onChange(), but the use case for that I found was depreciated and I'm unable to revert the state of the variable in the .onChange function. To reiterate, in a main view, I need to call a function in a given class and pass variables to it, upon a button being pressed in a child view. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have uploaded my app on app store connect but it has been rejected. I received the message about Guideline 4.8 - Design - Login Services. Can you please guide me about how to solve this issue on app store. This is the message i receive from app store: "The app uses a third-party login service, but does not appear to offer an equivalent login option with the following features: -The login option limits data collection to the user’s name and email address. -The login option allows users to keep their email address private as part of setting up their account. -The login option does not collect interactions with the app for advertising purposes without consent. Next Steps Revise the app to offer an equivalent login option that meets all of the above requirements. If the app already includes a login option that meets the above requirements, reply to App Review in App Store Connect, identify which login option meets the requirements, and explain why it meets the requirements. Additionally, it would be appropriate to update the screenshots in the app's metadata to accurately reflect the revised app once another login service has been implemented." Is the problem caused by not having Privacy Policy and Terms of Service when using third-party login service? If it is, then I will add the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

This is a follow-up to my previous question: How to attribute/credit Apple Fonts added to app? In that previous post, I misremembered what I did and said I found fonts via macOS' FontBooks, when instead I came acrossUIFont.familyNames. Since these are included via UIKit, the legal implications should be different. I looked at various license agreements that govern iOS app development but haven't found anything mentioning fonts. Since these are included as part of UIKit, its reasonable to assume that developers are allowed to include these fonts--but in what ways? Am I allowed to let users create, say, documents with these fonts? Am I only allowed to display these fonts? There are 84 fonts, and judging by their FontBook entries, there is a wide range of licenses and restrictions. It seems unnecessarily harsh to have every iOS developer verify each one and figure out which they can legally keep if they want to offer their users access to all (for, say, a text-editing app). There must be some overarching rule that supersedes/encapsulates them, but this rule isn't clear to me after hours of research. I'm not a lawyer, and I don't think Apple expects every app developer to consult their lawyers on whether they can use system fonts. I'm about to send an email to Apple's legal team (I will post their response here if allowed), but in the meantime I want to hear what other devs think about this. In Xcode, entering UIFont.familyNames returns the following: ["Academy Engraved LET", "Al Nile", "American Typewriter", "Apple Color Emoji", "Apple SD Gothic Neo", "Apple Symbols", "Arial", "Arial Hebrew", "Arial Rounded MT Bold", "Avenir", "Avenir Next", "Avenir Next Condensed", "Baskerville", "Bodoni 72", "Bodoni 72 Oldstyle", "Bodoni 72 Smallcaps", "Bodoni Ornaments", "Bradley Hand", "Chalkboard SE", "Chalkduster", "Charter", "Cochin", "Copperplate", "Courier New", "Damascus", "Devanagari Sangam MN", "Didot", "DIN Alternate", "DIN Condensed", "Euphemia UCAS", "Farah", "Futura", "Galvji", "Geeza Pro", "Georgia", "Gill Sans", "Grantha Sangam MN", "Helvetica", "Helvetica Neue", "Hiragino Maru Gothic ProN", "Hiragino Mincho ProN", "Hiragino Sans", "Hoefler Text", "Impact", "Kailasa", "Kefa", "Khmer Sangam MN", "Kohinoor Bangla", "Kohinoor Devanagari", "Kohinoor Gujarati", "Kohinoor Telugu", "Lao Sangam MN", "Malayalam Sangam MN", "Marker Felt", "Menlo", "Mishafi", "Mukta Mahee", "Myanmar Sangam MN", "Noteworthy", "Noto Nastaliq Urdu", "Noto Sans Kannada", "Noto Sans Myanmar", "Noto Sans Oriya", "Optima", "Palatino", "Papyrus", "Party LET", "PingFang HK", "PingFang SC", "PingFang TC", "Rockwell", "Savoye LET", "Sinhala Sangam MN", "Snell Roundhand", "STIX Two Math", "STIX Two Text", "Symbol", "Tamil Sangam MN", "Thonburi", "Times New Roman", "Trebuchet MS", "Verdana", "Zapf Dingbats", "Zapfino"]

It would be nice if the vocabulary utilized by Apple keyboard and swipe would incorporate more medical terminology. It sucks when you’re trying to type in words like gastroenterologist or hepatorenal and my words get autocorrected or misunderstood … thank you!

as shown in photo the noise level indicator is too big and not centred. not a major issue just a cosmetic flaw i thought i would bring up

I am unable to change the font size with this snippet. The font is correct and used elsewhere in the swiftui file. The build works successfully, but no matter what font size I choose it appears to stick with a default system size. private func holeRow(hole: Int) -> some View { HStack(spacing: 0) { Text("(hole + 1)") .font(.custom("Metropolis-SemiBold", size: 12)) .frame(width: 60, height: 25) .background(Color("PGA_Dark_Cerulean")) .foregroundColor(.white) .border(Color.gray, width: 0.25) Picker("", selection: $parValues[hole]) { ForEach(3..<6) { value in Text("(value)") .font(.custom("Metropolis-SemiBold", size: 12)) .foregroundColor(Color("PGA_Dark_Cerulean")) .tag(value) } } .pickerStyle(MenuPickerStyle()) .frame(width: 50, height: 25) .background(Color.white) .border(Color("PGA_Dark_Cerulean"), width: 0.25) ForEach(golfers.indices, id: \.self) { golferIndex in Picker("", selection: $scores[golferIndex][hole]) { ForEach(1..<11) { value in Text("\(value)") .font(.custom("Metropolis-SemiBold", size: 12)) .foregroundColor(Color("PGA_Dark_Cerulean")) .tag(value) }

I one project, using .onChange(), I get an error: 'onChange(of:initial:_:)' is only available in iOS 17.0 or newer The solution provided is to wrap the code in if #available(iOS 17.0, *) { }, but I'm only able to wrap the whole view inside of it, like so: if #available(iOS 17.0, *) { VStack () { // view with .onChange } } else { VStack () { // view with older solution } } The view is quite lengthy so it would be very redundant to have the same view twice, (the same view for each component of the if/else statement). Is there a way to implement an if statement so that I would only need the code for the view once (something like the code below)? VStack { } if #available(iOS 17.0, *) { .onChange() { } } else { // older solution } Additionally, in a newer project, I don't have to include the if #available(iOS 17.0, *) { }, so I'm guessing the build is made for a newer iOS. If that's the case, would it not be compatible with older iOS versions? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, When watching SF Symbols WWDC videos about SF Symbols the recommendations is always to center align them, but suppose we are making sidebar menu items where we have VStack of HStacks , and each Stack have an SF Symbol and a text in this case how can SF Symbols be center aligned ? they will mostly right aligned so will this damage the design ? specially if they have like badges ? -- Kind Regards

Hi, When putting an image that uses systemName next to a text will they be baseline aligned by default ? -- Kindest Regards

We are currently looking into enabling CarPlay for a navigation app. The navigation app allows complex trip planning (not focussed on A-B planning like Apple Maps). As we found the guidelines somewhat loose in this area, we are wondering, if it is allowed to have a navigation app that only offers the navigation feature, so no planning? Any route planning actions needs to be done on the iOS device. So, if you haven't planned/loaded a route, you would only see your location on a map and can drive freely, but without guidance. The Car App programming guideline mentions the select destination as explicit flow of a navigation app. Which makes us think that it might be required to support that flow.

I am getting one crash with "NSConstraintBasedLayoutDeferOptimization" error. I my app, having one textview with tap gesture which opens pickerview as a inputview added in textview. Whenever, I tap on textview app gets crashed. Not able to find exact reason for this crash.

Does anyone know how to localize the title of the shortcut? I tried to create a localizable file and then do a french translation. However, when I reference it as my shortcut title and change my simulator's language to the translated language (in this case french) it still displays the title in the english translation. for example: my Localizable.strings file says in english: "shortcutTitle" = "Hello!"; in french: "shortcutTitle" = "Bonjour!"; and then my AppIntent says: static var title: LocalizedStringResource{return LocalizedStringResource("shortcutTitle")}

Hi, I was searching and replacing code where all of the sudden I got the following errors: Undefined symbol: AppName.Client.init(id: Swift.Int, name: Swift.String, StructVariable: Swift.Int?, structVariable: [Struct]?) -> AppNameStruct Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) I replaced the names in the first error message for privacy reasons. I tried quitting Xcode and restarting my computer but the error persisted. Any help on resolving this would be greatly appreciated.
