You can use Configurator to restore IPSW images to Apple Silicon machines. Could you use this method to restore to an external drive attached to the target machine?

@endecotp's solution is correct at this time. We haven't provided a full installer with the macOS 14 beta (23A5257q). Thanks. Can you confirm that the process of installing Ventura to an external drive and upgrading that is known to work? I have seen some suggestions that there can be problems with that, but they are just "random posts on the internet"... Is it planned to provide full installers for later betas? (What has happened in the past?)

Me too! The only plausible suggestion that I've seen so far is to install Ventura on the separate volume, boot into it, and then upgrade to Sonoma. I've not tried that yet. I don't know what use the downloadable .ipsw file is. Maybe it can be used with a virtual machine, or something? If anyone has got Sonoma working as a dual-boot option, either on an external drive or a separate volume on the internal storage, please give us a clue how you did it! Thanks!

We want to release the game with the same studio name If you enrol as an individual, only your real personal name will be shown in the App Store. To enrol as a business, you need a legal entity that can get a "DUNS number". Exactly how complex that is will depend on where you are in the world.

I would like to install macOS 14 Sonoma on an external partition Me too! I couldn't find an installer on the developer website. I downloaded the .ipsw "restore image" from https://developer.apple.com/download/ but I don't know what to do with it! In Disk Utility I can select my external disk and click "restore", and there is an "image" button, but the .ipsw file is not selectable in the file picker. Is this one of those things where you have to hold down shift while clicking a button and a load of extra choices appear? Someone must know how to do this....

Are you sayiing that prices up to $10,000 could be made available "on request" for in-app purchases if i ask apple to grant me access to that price point. Yes.

You can have thousands of IAPs, but not millions. Are you talking about physical books?

It used to be that the only way to get the exchange rates was to download the payment report by clicking on a button in App Store Connect, i.e. there was no equivalent API. It is possible that this has changed recently but I doubt it. Note that this gives you the exchange rates on the day that the funds are transferred to your bank account. Don’t try to account for currencies in any other way!

The issue I'm facing is that the price points supported by Apple's IAP system are simply too low for my app. No, that’s not your problem because: This app allows users to purchase exclusive exhibition spaces to showcase their artwork in prestigious physical galleries. That sounds to me like the product is delivered outside the app, so it’s not something you can use IAP for. Your problem is that App Review have failed to understand what your app is doing. (Assuming of course that what your real app does is very similar to this art gallery example.) There’s not much you can do about this except appeal the rejection and explain the issue in very simple terms. Have you confused the appeal by saying that the price points are not high enough, as you have in this post? PS why is this an app rather than a website? PS2 IAP prices up to $10,000 are supposed to be available “on request”.

What do you mean by "uncompressed data size" The size of that data which you say the app unpacks on first use - once it is unpacked. and "in the app description"? The app description that you provide in App Store Connect, which is shown (truncated) in the App Store.

I agree with Roflbot that this would be useful, but it’s clear at this point in history that Apple disagree and it’s not going to change. I have two use cases. First, sometimes it’s useful to be able to tell users where the location data is coming from. I do get complaints from users who say that my app worked OK on their wifi-only iPad at home, but when they were lost on a mountain it couldn’t show their location. The second is compatibility; the GPX file format has an attribute for the number of satellites, and it would be good to be able to populate that with something accurate. I may have filed a bug about this in about 2009…….

Have you tried “disclosing the downloaded uncompressed data size” in the app description?

this is by invitation only You can have public testflight links that anyone can use - but you have to put the link e.g. on your website; potential users can’t find it on the app store. https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=09262018a

Above posts are little old so I want to double confirm. "Double confirm" - looks more like "seventh confirm" to me. Do you check everything so thoroughly? I confirm that you cannot get the number of satellites.

How many sales have you had? Does your app prompt users to submit reviews / ratings? I'm currently seeing about one rating for every 500 sales for one of my apps, but that app doesn't prompt for ratings.
