I’ve done this in the past: No certificates. Visit the site in Safari. Log in. Open the developer console. Extract the cookies. Pass the cookies to wget (maybe using —header). (I seem to recall doing something like modifying the URL to deliberately get an error page???) Of course that relies on cookies that will expire quite soon. It may not work for your situation. (what certificate exactly are you referring to?)

No. (Do review your developer agreement. I believe there are specific terms against caching (or otherwise storing) map data.)

It feels like we're being intentionally targeted because we're a church. What part of their message makes you suspect that?

so i have to create a site? Yes. (It could be extremely basic.) what should i indicate for privacy? I don't know, what actually is your privacy policy? Will you be collecting all of your users' financial information and selling that to criminals, for example? If that is your plan then you need to disclose that in your privacy policy. If you don't collect any information then your privacy policy could be extremely short.  I downloaded some pngs that I use in the app, it says that it can be used for apps or something else, should I indicate this? That depends on what they require. For example, Creative Commons have a variety of licences, some of which require attribution and some don't.

I don't think there is a public API for SVG display, except using a web view. There is, however, a private API called CoreSVG - I know this because I have seen it mentioned in error messages! (Hmm, I guess I'm not certain if it is in iOS or macOS or both.) So it might be worth filing a bug asking for CoreSVG to become a public API.

How did everyone's next steps go? Hi @abul, It's interesting that no-one ever posts a follow-up saying how this was resolved for them in any of the many threads. I guess there are a couple of possibilities: Apple resumed payments, but the developers didn't bother to post anything here because they are too lazy / rude / forgetful / whatever. Apple decided that their accounts were fraudulent and deleted them, including blocking their access to this forum, or deleting their subsequent replies. Which do you think it is? Personally I have no idea. But it worries me greatly. In my opinion, developers should all consider the possibility that their income could switch off at any time, and structure their careers appropriately - don't put all your eggs in one basket!

not searchable via keyword. Which keywords are you referring to? The iAd advertising keywords, or the old keywords in App Store Connect?

I need to be able to get precise location updates continuously even if the app is terminated. You can't do that.

it asks me for a series of info including a url that I don't have Please be more specific. What info, exactly? What URL? I wonder if only companies can publish them. No, you can publish apps as an individual. do i have to do something to get a copyright? Strictly no, you automatically own the copyright in work that you create and don't have to do anything explicitly to claim it. Having said that, in practice it is a good idea to put "(C) My Name 2022" somewhere. Most importantly, if you are using someone else's material under licence, and if the licence requires that you include an attribution, then you must include that attribution somewhere. Copyright (and related subjects) are complex; I'm sure you could find some good introductory material aimed at software developers online somewhere. Maybe a university's undergraduate "intro to intellectual property" lectures? Most good Computer Science courses will include this these days.

“Push notifications” go from server to device, so your question doesn’t make much sense. If you mean “sends a notification to my server” then the answer is no - obviously due to the lack of internet connectivity. If you mean “shows the user a notification” then the answer is yes - but it’s a local notification, not a push notification.

Do you check the OSStatus return value of SecKeyEncrypt ?

Looks like someone assumed that there will never be more than 7 digits in the feedback ID. If someone working for me did that, I’m immediately be checking their git history to see what other crimes they had committed….

What licenses do those fonts use? Using content without the necessary licensing is unlikely to result in an app review rejection, unless it is something that Apple gets a lot pf complaints about.

Why can you not add Apple’s 17.* IP range to your list?
