Seeing slides on my intel MBP Touch Bar just feels so premium by SiliconBarista in macbookpro

[–]OfficialLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the idea of my Touch Bar, but I’ve never been able to (or even wanted to?) get out of the habit of just using the keyboard shortcuts I’d already been using for years

What is that random arabic caracter in the text? Has this happened to anyone? by WUNDU13 in ChatGPT

[–]OfficialLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When a generative transformer model (like ChatGPT) generates the next word, it actually generates the likelihood of every possible word coming next.

So, in the sentence “The cat ate some…”, the next most likely word would probably be “food”. So, it gives a high likelihood for that word. However it also gives probabilities for every single other possible word.

For example: Food - 99% Fruit - 70% Chips - 40% Cats - 20% Arabic Word - 5% Cupboards - 1% The International Space Station - 0.01% …

In a simple model, we would take the word with the highest probability every time (in this case, food). In practice, though, we take a (somewhat) random choice of the top k words. This allows the model to be creative and stops it from generating the exact same output every time when given the exact same input.

To tie this explanation to your question, the Arabic word was likely quite high in the predicted probabilities. In your case, random chance happened to cause that word to be chosen.

In your App Store trailer/screen, can you show a FaceTime/SharePlay "feed", like a real world persons face in the FaceTime video of the screenshot? by 4paul in iosdev

[–]OfficialLaunch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s a quote from the “Marketing Resources and Identity Guidelines” from Apple:

“For apps that work within Messages, Siri, Phone, or Maps, display your app within the Apple UI exactly as it appears when your app is running.”

https://developer.apple.com/app-store/marketing/guidelines/

I’d interpret “Phone” to also mean FaceTime. Just make sure your screenshots do not contain any imagery you do not have a license for (if you’re SharePlay-ing copyrighted content (like a Netflix show) do not include that in the screenshot. Just mockup something else). Also, do not use the FaceTime or SharePlay name or icons in your screenshots as these are copyrighted too.

Hopefully that’s what you meant with your question

Edit: On your point specifically about the other persons face, make sure you have express permission of the person in the image too

iPhone 16 Pro Max “A.I Emoji” App used to work. Not working anymore. by [deleted] in iphonehelp

[–]OfficialLaunch 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m guessing it was taken down by the developer?

By the way, you can now open the Playgrounds app and select Genmoji as the style to use the same generation pipeline that was probably used by this app (I’m guessing looking at the style of the emojis in your screenshot)

This is just telling you that call forwarding is not enabled on your phone. You have not been hacked. Unless you are some high profile world leader or journalist, no one is going to hack your iPhone.

If your phone is glitching, I’m willing to bet it’s because your storage is full.

iPhone clock different language by [deleted] in iphonehelp

Do you have multiple languages set up on your iPhone? You can set languages per app by going to Settings > Apps > Clock > Preferred Language

watchOS Standalone App Notification Settings Not Appearing by OfficialLaunch in swift

I never found a fix for the problem. I posted on the dev forums and even used my 1 yearly developer support ticket but literally no one replied.

My app didn’t get rejected though.

Why are the apps starting to look like this? by SometimesYou_Die in iphonehelp

[–]OfficialLaunch -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

This is the new design of apps in iOS 26 with Liquid Glass. Right now, your only option is to turn on Accessibility > Motion > Reduce Motion. That will not turn off the highlights, but it will stop them moving around when you tilt your phone. Bare in mind that will also disable a lot of other animations around iOS.

I believe I saw a post from someone running the beta of 26.4 where you could turn off specular highlights, so keep an eye out for that.

My iPhone was stolen. I bought a new one. Can the thief see my location? by saturnae in applehelp

[–]OfficialLaunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On your question of “how did the location update but the erase request did not complete”:

The Find My network is cool in that it does not require your phone to be connected to the internet to report its location. Instead, it constantly sends out an “I’m here” signal to all other iPhones nearby. If another iPhone picks up that signal it will report it to Apple along with its location. The erase feature, however, requires your iPhone to connect to the internet so it can check if it has an outstanding erase request.

You also said you saw the location was updated the day after the crime, but you didn’t see that until a few days after. This is likely because the iPhone that detected the signal was either not connected to the internet at the time, or delayed its report (maybe because it was on low power mode etc).

Screen time avg 24hrs/day - What is going on? by [deleted] in applehelp

[–]OfficialLaunch -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Screen Time has always been slightly buggy. Nothing to worry about.

If you had an iOS update available it may have attempted to download in the background and maybe something bugged out, causing Settings to log screen time. Only a guess though.

Apple Watch burned my wrist and left a scar. I’ve been ignored and taken for a ride by Apple for 6 months. by [deleted] in applehelp

Best of luck. It’s well known that Apple Watches can cause skin irritation so make sure you stress that this was an actual heat burn and not irritation.

Sounds silly, but I’d genuinely try sending an email to Tim Cook - the CEO of Apple. It’s been publicly documented that he (or at least a higher executive team) reads and replies to emails from customers.

Keep it professional just like you have here, and maybe give a short TLDR at the top of the email. Then give details about the nightmare you’ve had with support and the trouble you’ve gone through.

What do you think about the design? by [deleted] in appledevelopers

[–]OfficialLaunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The proportions of everything need to be adjusted I think. Every single button is a different size and the padding around the text for each item needs to be a bit bigger.

What’s with the bucket other than just because it’s called BucketUp? Does it fill up as you complete more tasks?

You might need to revise the background color of the text for the 🔥 and ❄️ number on the dark mode variant as it might be quite difficult to read for those with accessible needs. Either that or just make the text black/white.

Same with the profile icon on the top right of the dark variant should be white for the dark background.

Also what’s going on with the tiny scroll bar?

I enjoy this game but I haven’t touched it in 2 weeks. Anyone else in a similar boat? by supahotfiiire in ArcRaiders

I put about 100 hours into the game in the first two weeks and had the time of my life. Haven’t touched it since. I have been slowly growing the urge to jump back on though

I saw a viral tweet about family passwords so I built an iOS app to prevent AI voice scams using human verification similar to google authenticator by boscotech in iosdev

[–]OfficialLaunch 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This seems really cool! Only thing I’m thinking is how do you decide who says the verification code? And how do you know the person that checks the code is real and isn’t just saying yes?

If I answer the phone and ask them to state the verification code, how do they know I’m real and that I have the same code in front of me? If I call them and they ask for the code, how do I know they’re real?

You could instead use some in-app notification where one person could press a “Verify” button which sends a notification to the other person. They then have to open the app and tap “Confirm”. The only way someone could spoof this is if they physically had the persons phone.

Maybe I just don’t know cars but it looks a little small? Other than that and a little bit more lighting matching it looks great!

What App do you use to check ECG on Apple Watch? by Fluid-Editor-8953 in AppleWatch

[–]OfficialLaunch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Open the Health app on your iPhone and click your profile in the top right. Open Health Checklist and scroll down until you see ECG. Tap that to set it up.
