I can't seem to get the CloudKit Dashboard to display my custom zones for my container.
I'm using Xcode Beta 8.3 and the iOS 10 SDK.
In my test app, I successfully create records in the private database in my custom zone. I can also retrieve those same records once I have created them.
However, the dashboard stays the same:
Is there something I need to check in my settings, is this a temporary beta software thing, or is it something else?
Thank you
Make sure you're logged into the same account on your dashboard as the one on the device that you're testing on!

I'm just trying to load my first app up to App Connect in order to let a few friends test it. So they can download it.
Got though the first few headaches like Frameworks not being set up correctly...
Now of course the final authorisation has failed due to lack of certain images and icons non of which I'm bothered to do right now I just want to be able to remotely share the app.
Do I really have to get all that stuff fixed first?
Is it not possible to share a slightly rough version via TestFlight?
EDIT:
These are my errors. Not sure what the first error means but the others obviously for missing image data.
First, I'd recommend fixing those errors anyway. They're simple. Just add an app icon with the correct sizes. It doesn't have to be a good/final icon yet. You can use my script here: https://gist.github.com/DaveWoodCom/0b9dd0efb9d10f0f0ba9977ccc35a86a
that takes a simple 1024x1024 png file and resizes it to all the required sizes for you. It even gives you a Contents.json asset catalog file.
Second, if you're just sending the beta to your friends, you don't really need to go through TestFlight review yet. You can either create a user account in App Store Connect for each of your friends (note: I'd recommending using your own email address me+friendsname#yourdomain.com for their accounts so they can't actually log into ASC and see any of your data), or you can create an Adhoc distribution profile for your app and include your friends device UUID's. Then you build your .ipa file and send it to them to install. You could even use a new project I've just created: https://github.com/DaveWoodCom/OTAgo and let them install the app over the air, via a web site. Note that project is brand new and thus is still in beta (will change a lot in the coming weeks, but it should be decent enough for your use case).
A few days ago my iPhone game has been approved for sale. When searching its name in the search bar of the App Store, it showed my App. Now when I try to search my game, it doesn't show any result. The direct link still works, however.
Any suggestion?
Check which country's App Store you are viewing currently. Probably it's not the same as the country your app is live now.
The issue fixed by itself with time. I don't know why, but my application is appeared back in the search results of the App Store.
I suspect it was because of an internal trouble that Apple was having with the App Store servers at that time, maybe it erroneously removed my app record from the search database, and now they managed to restore it.
I am porting an Android app for BlackBerry and during tests I see my saved user data (properties and a list of activities) disapearing each time I upload my newly build BAR to the device.
Will this happen on every update of the app?
On Android, my local data stays permanently on uploading and installing new versions.
I do not want to use shared storage for this data to avoid too many permissions, since the user won't understand why I need this shared storage (user could wonder about if I want to steal his other data).
This seems to be an issue of the Android VM version used at that specific time. In the meantime, the behaviour is as one would expect it, and all user data stays even after app update.
I am currently having some problems regarding provisioning profiles on the dev centre. In the past, I have been able to successfully create and deploy apps on internal app stores and on multiple devices. I have never run into trouble when trying to sign my apps. However, since the last update on the dev-portal, I have not been able to create new provisioning profiles - which is becoming a big problem.
I have successfully created an app id, com.xx.USApp and created a certificate for it: com.xx.USApp just as I did for all my other apps in the past. However, when I go to "Provisioning Profiles", I am unable to create a profile for any App ID (not even for the previous apps). When I try, I am able to select an App ID, then on the next screen, this message pops up: http://i.imgur.com/grEcut5.png
It is telling me to create a certificate, which I have already done - as can been seen here: http://i.imgur.com/ouW7LKo.png
I have even tried to make additional ones through the links they have provided me, however whenever I go back to the Provisioning tab, the same message occurs. In the past, I was taken to this dialog: http://i.imgur.com/QnP5X3s.png which then gave me a list of all my certificate files. I am wondering if this is a bug in their update and how I would go about resolving this issue.
Thanks!
Apple has decided to move the place where you setup provisioning profiles to the member center. That could be the problem. Not sure why they moved it. Try adding it from the new member center.
There was a problem with their servers when trying to create provisioning profiles. They have since fixed this issue.
Is it possible to create an app that does not appear in the Home screen, and allows another app to grab its resources (sounds, images, etc)?
I want to create a lightweight app (app #1) and upload it to the app store. Then I would like to be able to direct users to download an add-on (app #2) if they want that contains more images and sounds. Then app #1 would read these resources from app #2.
I'm trying to avoid having my own server to serve these images, and just have the App Store handle this for me. I know I can do this on Android, and was wondering if it's possible in iOS as well.

Not only can you not create an app that's hidden from the user, you also can't access the resources of one app from another. Each app lives in its own sandbox and cannot read (or write) into the sandbox of another app.

The normal way to do something like that would be to host the resources you need on a server or just store them inside your app.

No, not possible.
If you are able to use the In-App Purchase system, then Apple will host this for you. From the docs, I'm not clear if this is iOS 6 only or is available for older versions (I haven't seen any reason it wouldn't work for older versions, but I haven't tried it).
Note that most iOS 6 specifics are under NDA, so please do not discuss them here until iOS 6 releases. This particular fact is public, however:

No it's not possible. You have to setup an icon and it will be displayed on the iPhone springboard.
No it cannot, why do you need one?
Sadly No in IOS but in android this is possible.
There can exist an app without an icon. But it can still be managed or removed in "Manage Application" under settings.
This is required in scenarios, like say I want this app to alert user when he is going out of region, using GPS in the background. I do not want any icon nor any user interface.
