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. 😧

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.

In Xcode 15.4 beta, in the iOS 17.5 simulator, Safari and WKWebView display only blank pages (FB13740503)
XProtect trash anyone else’s Xcode CI fleet?
🚨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.🧵

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.
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.

✍️ Did you know you can now perform automatic a11y audits directly from Xcode 15?
You can make sure your app's elements:
🎨 Have enough colour contrast
💬 Resize with dynamic type
🔊 Labels are readable by VoiceOver
➕ Many more!

Localization files account for

NSPredicates are Turing Complete, even when minimally using the objective-c runtime. TERNARY expressions are conditionals and an expression can evaluate itself to perform unbounded loops. below is a single NSExpression that is a full brainfuck interpreter gist.github.com/aemmitt-ns/4…

I’m on cohost, I may or may not post there once my account is activated. At least I’ll “share” (equivalent to retweet) interesting apple platforms development content I find there, like I do here.

We just open sourced a library, primarily written by @kastiglione, for consuming Swift's index data. We're currently using it internally to discover unused code. Hopefully it lowers the barrier of entry for writing more powerful semantic analysis tools! github.com/lyft/swift-index-…
