Reply to How long does it take to build up index relevance for new app
When I query my app name with exact match, there is only my app showing up, without any related apps. What does it mean? It means you are lucky. Plenty of people find their app down at number 117 even for an exact search on the app name. You probably need to put as much effort into marketing, advertising etc. as you have put into developing the app. And you need a business model that takes into account the cost of doing that.

Reply to Developer account terminated without warning or explaination
https://www.apple.com/uk/newsroom/2024/05/app-store-stopped-over-7-billion-usd-in-potentially-fraudulent-transactions/ Apple terminated 118,000 developer accounts in 2023, down from 428,000 in 2022. That's one every 5 minutes. There are lots of posts like yours on this forum. I don't recall anyone ever replying to say that their account was re-instated. I find this terrifying.

Reply to Acceptable app updates frequency?
It's clear that's probably most of users prefer less amount of updates. I disagree, I think users consider frequent updates to be an indication that an app is being actively maintained. The other vital consideration is tnat the App Store search ranking algorithm may prefer apps with more frequent updates. I think the ideal update frequency is probably “a bit more often than your competitors”. Every 1-2 days seems rather extreme though. I don’t believe there is a mandated limit imposed by the review system. Beware that each review is an opportunity for them to invent something else to complain about.

Reply to xcode 15.4 [Debug] -> [Simulate Location] with custom gpx is broken
When I try to add a new gpx file with "Add GPX File to Workspace..." the gpx files are greyed out If you view these files in Finder, do you see a GPX icon? What does mdls shows as the kMDItemContentType ? Do you have other apps that do things with GPX files installed? Edited to add: in your screenshot I see that the GPX file has an icon with a red circle - what is that?

Reply to The Mystery of an Array of Strings and Escaped Characters
Don't write comments, they are hard to view. If I try to use an SQL command with a string quoted with apostrophes in order to insert initial values to an SQLite database file, SQLite seems to see escaped apostrophes rather than apostrophes as SQLite gives me an error. How are you using SQLite? You should never form SQL queries by joining strings together'); drop table users;

Reply to Save UIImage with CATransform3D applied
I can't save the UIImage from transformed the UIImageView with all the transformations. Try using CALayer drawInContext to draw the transformed view into a CGBitmapContext. (Or, do it yourself. It’s not that difficult, if speed is not particularly important.)
