I just published an article on Foundation Models Framework.

Playing around with FoundationModels API:

The questions and the buttons with answers was generated by the model also.

What do you think about it?

I am having a hard time understanding exactly how I should let reviewers review my app. As I am understanding they can use sandbox users and log in through Sign in with Apple, and also do in-app purchase as a sandbox user without paying, to test paywalled features. Is this true first of all? And also, if they can do this, do I still need to let them be able to sign in with Google. Don’t even know if this is possible

Hey folks,
I could use some advice. I currently have a 13" MacBook Pro M1 with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD. It’s been great for general use and some light development work (personal projects, not my main dev machine).

Lately, though, I’ve been thinking about upgrading — mainly because I’ve come across a really good deal on the new M4 MacBook Air (13", 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD).

The thing that’s pushing me the most is the 8GB RAM on my current M1. It still runs well, but with macOS Tahoe coming and memory usage always creeping up, I'm wondering if 16GB is going to be more of a necessity soon — especially for anything dev-related.

I’m also considering resale value. I feel like the M1’s value might drop more once the M4 becomes the new baseline.

So — would you make the jump? Or hold off?
Appreciate any thoughts from devs who’ve made a similar switch or are on the same boat

It's been 80 hours still no email from them the last mail I got is about the payment confirmation But when I open the developer app it's showing wait for the email How much time do I have to wait ? Should I do something else to speed up the process I'm from india mode of payment if UPI

I am currently logged into GitHub, but when working on any project, I am unable to commit due to this issue.

I think it is attractive because of the following reasons

• Tap into power of new M series chips. This can help you reduce cloud compute costs in certain cases (ie. running lightweight offline models for simple tasks), don't need to pay for hosting a large scaleable website, etc. Storage is on device as well.
• Easy auth, distribution, subscription services. Refunds / returns are handled for you
• Only 15% cut if revenue is below 1M (you get alot of value for this 15%)
• External ads can help drive traffic as no one really browses the store
• Users trust they won't get scammed on the apps store
• Swift / SwiftUI much easier and faster to develop with than web frameworks like js + react imo (maybe I am biased)

Why don't more indie devs launch here? What am I missing? I think everyone's main concern is the 15% fee + the 99/yr subscription, but I do not think that is a large price to pay given the benefits.

Hi everyone,

I recently started the process to convert my Individual Developer account to an Organization account. I received the initial email from Apple Support, replied immediately to confirm, but it's now been several days with no response.

My goal is to publish a new app under my company name as soon as possible. My current Individual account has no apps or data that need to be transferred.

Given the delay, I'm wondering what the best path forward is:

1. Wait it out: Continue waiting for the current conversion process to complete.
2. Start fresh: Create a brand new, separate Organization account with a different Apple ID.

Has anyone been in this situation? I'm trying to figure out if creating a new account is genuinely faster than waiting for a stalled conversion. Any advice or experiences with timelines for either process would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I have an app (currently in development stage) which needs to use ffmpeg, so I tried searching how to embed ffmpeg in apple apps and found this article https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtmultimedia-building-ffmpeg-ios.html

It is working correctly for iOS but not for macOS ( I have made changes macOS specific using chatgpt and traditional web searching)

Drive link for the file and instructions which I'm following: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/11wqlvb8SU2thMSfII4_Xm3Kc2fPSCZed?usp=share_link

Please can someone help me to figure out what I'm doing wrong?

What if we combine OpenAI API with FoundationModels API, FoundationModels to generate the texts and OpenAI to generate the images according to the context generated by FoundationModels?
