You will be notified if the app has been featured. The feature has been added to the new mobile 👨‍💻 Connect.

🎛 Notifications will only be about the new Nomination system. I wrote about them here

Enable Notifications: on the app page at the very bottom of the “Notifications” button

👨‍💻 Connect logs out of account or load indicator spins endlessly

☁️ Xcode Cloud is not building projects because it mistakenly using beta 18.2. Logging out of Xcode authorization as well

Started the day before yesterday and the problem was recognized tonight. I'll let you know when it's fixed

> UPD 22.11, 12:00: Fixed

👨‍💻 Apple will be checking apps for the holidays. But with delays - I waited 3 days for the last review

No change for automatic review - they approve on the day of submission

📱 TestFlight got a dark icon. This is a reference example for complex cases

🔨 If you have a clearly separated background and icon, you don't need to bother with this - the dark icon will be automatically added

👨‍💻 Developer Enterprise Program will be terminated for all. Current accounts-certificates will be revoked

ADEP-accounts have already received emails. Apple said “you're not the reason”

🔑 For example, the new Passwords app was written in SwiftUI

🧮 And the calculator was also rewritten in SwiftUI. I didn't notice it in the interface, but now I understand why it appeared on the iPad

When I was young, I figured out how the calculator was written in UIKit — classes, hierarchy. It turns out that this is already archived information

🔔 If you use APNs, you need to update your certificates. For Sandbox today, for the release from February 24

👨‍💻 The new console's reviews page

🔨 swift-build has been released on GitHub. This thing builds your Swift projects and packages

This does not mean that we are waiting for alternative IDEs - AppCode worked before. The community will fix/add bugs and that will be the end of the changes for us

🧑‍💻 If you participate in the Swift Student Challenge, Apple is already accepting your projects for review

If you doing as a developer, you cannot participate

📃 Select trader/non-trader by February 17. Otherwise the app will be deleted in Europe

Which status to choose, see in the cards: https://t.me/sparrowcode_en/247

🗃 I rarely use expedited review, but I needed it today. A lot has changed there:

1. You no longer need to specify a reason. Just select the app and you're good to go

2. If it's rejected, the new build will automatically go through expedited review

3. 🕐 "In Review" status appears 10 minutes after submission. It's likely automated. The process was quick—20 minutes from submission to store

📊 Search in the App Store is changing. Tags will be added to keywords. Now it will search not by letter matches, but by meaning

So far only for some apps in the US. Within a year for all

What will happen to search positions - we'll see

🇰🇷💳 South Korea has implemented a verification system for subscriptions

- The user starts a trial
- The trial ends
🆕 Apple requests additional confirmation (via email and push)
- Charge / cancellation

Confirmation is only required when converting from trials and offers (when the price changes). If the user subscribes at the regular price, no confirmation is needed

The system was added due to local laws. It remains unchanged for other countries
