App Store Connect is not allowing me to submit an app update for review, displays an error “Agreement Update” saying the Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been updated and needs to be reviewed. But it hasn’t, and there is nothing new to accept. 😧

@samjarman I found copilot to be additive, it doesn’t really delete or refactor code. So if the ideal solution isn’t just more of the same code, it slows you down.

Apple just announced several new iOS 18 accessibility features!

1. Eye Tracking

Powered by artificial intelligence, Eye Tracking gives users a built-in option for navigating iPad and iPhone with just their eyes. Designed for users with physical disabilities, Eye Tracking uses the front-facing camera to set up and calibrate in seconds, and with on-device machine learning, all data used to set up and control this feature is kept securely on device, and isn’t shared with Apple.

@BigMtnStudio is this not fixed in Xcode 15.4 RC?

[Ashton Williams @AshtonDev]

Damn

[Drew Olbrich @drewolbrich]

In Xcode 15.4 beta, in the iOS 17.5 simulator, Safari and WKWebView display only blank pages (FB13740503)

@pointfreeco I’ve never understood why this Key pattern needs the where Self clause (apart from fixing the compile error) but the symbol is still globally available for lookup with dot syntax

XProtect trash anyone else’s Xcode CI fleet?

[Mr. Macintosh @ClassicII_MrMac]

🚨Heads Up:
Some users are reporting issues with the latest XProtectPayloads update 132 released yesterday.

"XProtectRemediatorPirrit"

Many of the users have Xcode installed and are getting an admin prompt to remediate.

More info as it comes in.🧵

@malinsundberg @airkai That’s so cool! Congratulations 🎉

[Ashton Williams @AshtonDev]

@ChristianSelig It’s hard to replicate because it’s not changing any CSS, even with native code, Safari uses _pageScale which is private API, they did add pageZoom, but that doesn’t do the same thing! Filed feedback but got nowhere.

Hi 👋

Posting this in hope that someone in my network may know of a role for me. I’m currently looking for a new job, full time, contract or part time.

If you need help making an app or want someone very passionate about Accessibility to help you, let me know.

[Ashton Williams @AshtonDev]

@overjeer It’s just good advice.

[Ashton Williams @AshtonDev]

@mario_apps_dev I hope that’s AI generated documentation? It’s bad advice and the even the name suffix “-Info.plist” is bizarre.

[Ashton Williams @AshtonDev]

@twannl In your version of BankAccount, `transfer` is like their example of multiple isolated parameters `quickTransfer` which should cause an error. In Swift 5.9 it seems self becomes un-isolated so you get an errror on accessing `self.balance`

[Ashton Williams @AshtonDev]

@twannl Sorry the example in the picture and article are wrong. An actor instance method has an isolated self so cannot have another isolated parameter.
It’s easily missed with how SE-0313 is written, but their example deposit function with an isolated parameter is module-scope.

Requiring Sign In With Apple if you had other social sign in services was a good thing ☹️

[Ashton Williams @AshtonDev]

@samjarman But now it’s viral

[Ashton Williams @AshtonDev]

@JordanMorgan10 A similar tip is that UserDefaults can be forced in the launch arguments. Works well if you are reading the data from there already in Production

[Ashton Williams @AshtonDev]

I’m disappointed that Apple Music SharePlay in CarPlay requires approving each person that joins, even if they are in your contacts, iCloud family, or have been approved before. No option to change this. Siri can’t approve either.

It needs to be less distracting for the driver.

UIAccessibilityContainer. automationElements is great. Solve UI test automation problems without impacting Accessibility or using accessibilityIdentifier tricks.
