Apple<\/a>:<\/p>\n

iOS 12 and tvOS 12 require apps to use memory far more efficiently than before. If you have difficulty reducing your app’s memory requirements, contact us<\/a> to request an entitlement for your app to use iOS 11-style memory accounting.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

An example of Apple providing private entitlements on request so that iOS apps can do things they could not otherwise; there are so many ways in which Apple could use these w\/ trusted partners to build categories of apps that would otherwise break rules<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

This memory requirement is news to me. So great to hear about a change like this 6 months after it shipped. Also there’s no details I can find on what the rules are it’s just “use less memory”. Really hate this platform sometimes. 😥<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

The problem with extra entitlements like this is that apple is useless. We asked for the “don’t show Apple Pay pop up when you see NFC” entitlement as it interferes with our app’s behaviour over a month ago. No response from apple whatsoever<\/p>\n

We found a similar thing online, except their story was “apple ignored me for over a month, but then I asked my friend who works at apple to have a look and then it got dealt with.” It’s hard to have a handy friend who works at apple when you live in New Zealand 😞👎<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Andrew Grant<\/a>:<\/p>\n

To be fair, this is them grandfathering in existing apps after they made significant changes to available memory in iOS 12. There are a lot of apps that are still submitting with the old SDK due to this change<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
