Use of 64pt and 68pt iOS App Icon Sizes
Hi there! Back with Xcode 14 and iOS 16 there were two new app icon sizes introduced to iOS: 64pt @2x (128x128px) 64pt @3x (192x192px) 68pt @2x (136x136px) What are those icons used for? Neither the Xcode 14 release notes nor the Human Interface Guidelines are mentioning those sizes and what they are used for. In previous Xcode versions the asset catalog had labels for each icon size. As Xcode 15 still doesn’t bring that feature back I’m still puzzled when those icon sizes are visible to the user. Best! – Alex

How to Change Picker Text Color In SwiftUI
I try to change picker text color but, it does not work. As you see, "City" and "District"'s color are blue but, I'd like to make them white. I have tried below codes but, they do not work. Do you know any methods for that ? Picker("İl", selection: $selectedCity) { ForEach(turkishCities, id: \.self) { city in Text(city) .foregroundColor(.white) } } Picker("İlçe", selection: $selectedDistrict) { ForEach(cityDistricts[selectedCity] ?? [], id: \.self) { district in Text(district) .foregroundColor(Color.white) } } .onAppear { UISegmentedControl.appearance().setTitleTextAttributes([.foregroundColor: UIColor.white], for: .normal) } Thank you in advance.

Our app rejected by Guideline 4.3 - Design Please Help!
Hello, Our app rejected by following reason: Guideline 4.3 - Design We noticed your app shares a similar binary, metadata, and/or concept as apps previously submitted by a terminated Apple Developer Program account. Submitting similar or repackaged apps is a form of spam that creates clutter and makes it difficult for users to discover new apps. Next Steps Since we do not accept spam apps on the App Store, we encourage you to review your app concept and submit a unique app with distinct content and functionality. Resources Some factors that contribute to a spam rejection may include: Submitting an app with the same source code or assets as other apps already submitted to the App Store Creating and submitting multiple similar apps using a repackaged app template Purchasing an app template with problematic code from a third party Submitting several similar apps across multiple accounts Learn more about our requirements to prevent spam in App Store Review Guideline 4.3. iOS App 1.0App Version Rejection Reasons: 4.3.0 Design: Spam The application is 100% developed by our team and I am 100% sure of it. How can we do it ? Please help.

How to handle adding and removing items from NavigationSplitView
Hello, I'm new to app development and have a question that I have been searching all over the place to find an answer to. I have followed Apple's own guides and don't know how to move around the strange issue I am experiencing. I have a project using NavigationSplitView and have the code setup so that it navigates through an array of items. The two issues I am experiencing that I hope to find some help with are: I would like to be able to have my add button, instead of presenting a sheet, just navigate to a new item within the NavigationSplitView. This would be more natural for the type of data application I have created. At this time I create the item with a .sheet modifier and then the item is created and added to the array. However, I then have to tap on the newly created item to get it to be selected. Is this how SwiftUI should be working? Whenever an item is deleted from the list, and it was the last item selected or the last item in the array, the NavigationSplitView will continue showing that remaining item. The only way to get it to show an empty content screen is to force close the application and then reopen it. Since this is my first time posting, I'm not sure what information would be helpful, but would be happy to provide anything which could be of assistance. :-)

Launch screen is black when using UIImageView in storyboard
I'm trying to add an SVG image to my launch screen. The SVG image is working fine in the main storyboard also used in a UIImageView, but the launch screen remains completely black; the launch screen is set with white background, so it seems to be completely ignored. When I remove the image from the UIImageView the launch screen is shown with correct background color but of course without the whished image. I can also correctly implement text in the launch screen, the launch screen shows the text and the background color correctly. As soon as I define an image from the asset catalogue for the UIImageView in the launch screen, the launch screen is completely black not showing anything. I tried also with a simple png image-set instead of the SVG image, but still the same issue. How can I implement a SVG image in my launch screen?

Guideline 4.8 Design Login servies
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.

Developers should be able to change the colors on their app icon for dark mode.
Currently, it seems Apple uses something to detect colors in app icons and make them look good in dark mode, but for apps like Subway Surfers, that doesn’t happen, and why would they change the icon? So, behold! My fix to this problem: There should be some color picker and changer in xcode to change the colors on your app icon for dark mode. This would help a lot for apps like CARROT weather where the image just doesn’t look right when it has a dark tint. This would make the app seem presentable in dark mode and light mode.

Developing a keyboard App
Hi guys, is there a possible method or platform to code a precise and intensive input virtual tool (as sorts of keyboard app) on vision pro? (A little bit confused to choose Xcode or Unity cause the App may require plenty of 3D interactions, which as far as I'm concerned might be complicated to bring such here on Xcode trough either Volumes or Spaces.

App icon
Dear all, I'm building my first MacOs app. I've created my app icon and add it to AppIcon folder, but when I'm building the application the icon shows in the dock of the screen with no rounded borders like all the other apps. I'm attaching here the icon and as you can see it has sharp edges. It is the same way in which it shows on the dock. Why? Has anybody experienced the same? Thanks for the support in advance, A.

Looking for feedback on a Swift dev tool idea
I know this is a more abnormal question to ask on this forum but I really would like to gauge feedback from a community of other Swift developers on an idea. A colleague and I are seriously considering building a open-source web based SwiftUI component catalog that feature a collection of prebuilt modular components very similar to Shadcn for those of you who have worked in React but for SwiftUI where you can also contribute your own SwiftUI elements. Im curious if this would be something iOS/Swift devs would be possibly interested in and would love to hear thoughts on this idea. This is not a component library as Xcode technically has one thats built in, but rather fully built out SwiftUI elements such as UIs that use glass morphism for macOS, calendars for iOS apps, charts, etc.

Inquiry: Checking User’s Large App Icon Mode Setting on iOS 18
I am writing to inquire if there is any way to programmatically check whether a user has enabled the “Large App Icon” mode in iOS 18. Our development team is working on optimizing our app’s user interface, and it would be beneficial to adapt the design based on this setting. Any guidance on how to access this information, or if it’s even possible within the current iOS APIs, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and assistance.
