"Meet Xcode Cloud" session missing?

I think there's a problem with https://developer.apple.com/wwdc21/sessions/ It lists two Xcode Cloud sessions, "Explore Xcode Cloud workflows" and "Customize your advanced Xcode Cloud workflows" whose descriptions say: "we recommend first watching “Meet Xcode Cloud” from WWDC21." But I see no session titled "Meet Xcode Cloud" anywhere on the session list. This indicates to me that the session is missing somehow. (I wonder if other sessions are missing, too. The "multiple product pages" A/B testing feature for App Store Connect suggests to me that there'd be a "What's new in App Store Connect" session this year, but I don't see one.)

Is it possible to test Apple Silicon builds on Intel Macs?

I'm a small-time app developer; I'm not likely to get access to the Developer Transition Kit. Despite that, I'd like to be able to test my macOS app on my existing Intel Mac, to make sure my apps will continue to work on Apple Silicon. Is it possible to do a test my Apple Silicon compatibility today on my Intel Mac? (I'm imagining something like running macOS Big Sur in a VM. It might perform slowly, but at least it would give me peace of mind to know that my app will work.)

Integrating with Quick Website Search

I'm looking for information on how to integrate with Safari Quick Website Search as a web developer. I see how I can turn off websites in Quick Website Search (Preferences -> Search) but I believe users are not able to add them manually; Safari is meant to automagically detect them. Under what circumstances will my website show up as an option for Quick Website Search? How can I test this? On my own Mac, can I manually add sites to Quick Website Search by editing configuration files? Which configuration file would I look at to do this?

Why doesn't apps.apple.com offer a way to push an app to my device?

On a Mac or Windows machine, when I visit a an app details page on apps.apple.com like https://apps.apple.com/us/app/gorogoa/id1269225754 it has a banner at the top, "This app is available only on the App Store for iPhone and iPad." I wish there were a button on this page that I could use to login and send the link directly to my iPhone. I know it's possible to use Handoff to send the link to a phone, but most users don't know how to do that. (Swipe slowly up from the bottom of the screen to enable the app switcher, tap the Handoff bar at the bottom.) Instead, users who want to download an iOS app are typically searching for it again by name on the App Store, or emailing themselves the link and opening the link on their phone, which adds friction to the download process. (I'm guessing this might not be the right place to raise this question. But what IS the right place? If I were at WWDC in person I could ask around in the hallways…)

Using an API Key with iTMSTransporter

I'm trying to use Transporter to lookupMetadata for my app ID 1363309257, using an API key instead of a username and password.I created my API key on the https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/access/api page, and configured it with the App Manager role.I'm using my API key like this:"/usr/local/itms/bin/iTMSTransporter -m lookupMetadata -apiIssuer 69a6de6f-0d6d-47e3-e053-5b8c7c11a4d1 -apiKey 3S3G8T48YW -app_platform ios -apple_id 1363309257 -destination /tmp"The apiKey secret file is stored in ~/.appstoreconnect/private_keys/AuthKey_3S3G8T48YW.p8When I run that command, I get this error:iTMSTransporter says: "You cannot access '1363309257'. An Admin or App Manager has limited your access to this item, or the item does not exist. (1198)"I know my API key is good/correct and the App Manager role is correctly configured, because I can use that same secret key to generate a JWT and use it successfully with the REST API. When I curl https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/apps/1363309257 using my JWT, I see my app in the response.Using the iTMSTransporter with the "-jwt" option with that same JWT fails, with exactly the same "You cannot access" error message.Is this my fault? Are API keys just broken with iTMSTransporter? Do I need to report a bug?
