After posting on the forums indicating the issue with the API keys, the original DTS response was to log a Feedback with a suggestion for allowing these keys to work with xcodebuild. However, a few days later, I got a follow up post from DTS indicating that this was indeed a bug and the Feedback should be a bug report. I logged FB15055171 and within a few days I was told to regenerate the keys....
The Apple Enterprise Program API is Disappointing
At WWDC 2024, Apple announced that finally Enterprise Account members would get an API to interact with the developer portal akin to the App Store Connect API. Last week, Apple made the API available and published the official documentation for it. Since this isn’t App Store Connect, not every feature that API provides is available, but the core pieces are there. At the most basic level, in order to use either API, a key is needed and the process to generate this key is the same....
Xcode 16 Beta Developer Portal Issue
There is a quite annoying regression that was introduced in Xcode 16 β2 that was not present in β1 nor Xcode 15.4 where the account that you are signed into’s credentials are not accessible on the command line via xcodebuild. Typically, in the keychain, you’d see Xcode-Token and Xcode-AlternateDSID indicating that Xcode has an account signed in and it uses those credentials to talk to the developer portal when you pass -allowProvisioningUpdates to your build....
Thoughts on WWDC 2024
As expected, the big reveal was Apple Intelligence (AI). This allows users to access ML capabilities on device as well as determine if what was requested needs to go off device for server-side processing. This allows Apple to plug and play different AI models (which OpenAI being the first) while also ensuring privacy and security using a complex implementation of privacy and security techniques dubbed Private Cloud Compute (PCC). As a result, the AppIntents framework got yet another overhaul to allow for developers to advertise how to integrate into the newly upgraded Siri for Apple Intelligence capabilities....
WWDC 2024 Hopes
This year’s WWDC theme has bee uncharacteristically telegraphed: AI. Apple has been drawing more attention than normal to the neural engine found in Apple Silicon chips, they’ve published OpenELM (on-device language model), actually mentioned AI in press releases/events, and are actively working on contracts with OpenAI (ChatGPT) and Google (Gemini). What this translates to is, likely, a whole new Siri and perhaps additional SDKs for integrating Generative AI and/or Chat Bot experiences into applications on Apple platforms....
