I'm reaching out to see if anyone else is experiencing issues with the Live Caller ID feature on iOS. We recently encountered a problem where the feature stopped working entirely.
Here's a brief overview of the situation:
We were monitoring test traffic on our backend and noticed everything came to a halt around 1:00 AM UTC on November 15th.
After this time, any attempts to reach our backend through calls failed completely.
I tested this across multiple devices running iOS 18.2 and iOS 18.0.
I used both TestFlight builds and development builds via Xcode, which should communicate directly with our backend.
I experienced the problem on our main application as well as a dedicated test app.
To troubleshoot further, I even set up a local server on localhost and tried directing requests there, but the requests did not reach the local server when a call was received.
Further debugging in Console.app revealed the following error:
identity request returned error: Error Domain=com.apple.CipherML Code=400 "Error Domain=com.apple.CipherML Code=401 "Unable to request data by keywords batch: failed to fetch token issuer directory"
However, when I manually tried to hit our server endpoint using curl, the request successfully reached the server:
curl https://our_server/something
hb_method=GET hb_uri=/something [Hummingbird] Request -- log on backend
This suggests that while our backend is responsive, the requests from the iOS client side are simply not being initiated.

Is there any documentation about the server to server notification, specifically what sort of data Apple servers send to our server when there is an update to users who used Sign in with Apple?
I've been trying to add a CoreSpotlight indexer to my macOS application. The new template for the indexer uses the new appex CSImportExtension style importer.
I've been following this ->
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corespotlight/csimportextension
I changed the CSSupportedContentTypes in the Info.plist file to the correct file type uti.
I added a dummy value into the attributes (see code below) - just setting contentDescription to 'noodle' (easy to search for)
class ImportExtension: CSImportExtension {
override func update(_ attributes: CSSearchableItemAttributeSet, forFileAt: URL) throws {
// Add a dummy value, and see whether spotlight finds it
attributes.contentDescription = "noodle"
}
}
I have a number of files on disk that match the uti (and can be found when I search by the file name)
Yet, when I build and run my app, the a spotlight search for 'noodle' finds no results.
Can anyone give me any advice? I cannot find any indication that the ImportExtension is called (although when I put a log message at the start of the update() call there's no message in the console which seems to suggest it's not being called).
Is there any way of debugging this?
Cheers and thanks -- Darren.
I don't see upload option for the App Store connect, can only export .ipa.
Also having issues with Transporter, pasting error message here.

Is anyone else facing the same issue? I am using Xcode 15.
I have a very basic App Intent extension in my macOS app that does nothing than accepting two parameters, but running it in Shortcuts always produces the error "The action “Compare” could not run because an internal error occurred.".
What am I doing wrong?
struct CompareIntent: AppIntent {
static let title = LocalizedStringResource("intent.compare.title")
static let description = IntentDescription("intent.compare.description")
static let openAppWhenRun = true
@Parameter(title: "intent.compare.parameter.original")
var original: String
@Parameter(title: "intent.compare.parameter.modified")
var modified: String
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
return .result()
}
}
Hi everyone,
I’ve filed a Feedback report (FB20986470) for a serious issue affecting the Call Directory database when add phone numbers for call blocking.
When adding blocking numbers to a Call Directory extension, the system’s CallKit database (/private/var/mobile/Library/CallDirectory/CallDirectory.db) becomes corrupted.
The reload call (reloadExtensionWithIdentifier) fails with error code 11 when the system tries to insert blocking entries, and the Console app on macOS shows the following errors:
database corruption page 2265525 of /private/var/mobile/Library/CallDirectory/CallDirectory.db at line 81343 of [f0ca7bba1c]
database corruption at line 79387 of [f0ca7bba1c]
Error Domain=com.apple.callkit.database.sqlite Code=11 "sqlite3_step for query 'INSERT INTO PhoneNumberBlockingEntry (extension_id, phone_number_id) VALUES (?, (SELECT id FROM PhoneNumber WHERE (number = ?))), (?, (SELECT id FROM PhoneNumber WHERE (number = ?))),...)'"
After this happens, CallKit becomes fully corrupted on the device and no further numbers can be added, even after:
Disabling and re-enabling the extension
Restarting the device (either force or soft restart)
Reinstalling the app
Waiting for a couple of minutes after this issue happens (that CallKit could possibly self-recovered)
I also tested other call-blocking apps, and they all fail with the same error. The only thing that recovers the system is a full “Reset All Settings.”
This issue has been reported by many users of my app, across multiple iOS versions and devices.
Similar related issue reported by another developer:
https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/806129
Steps to Reproduce:
Enable the Call Directory extension from a call-blocking app.
Add and reload blocking numbers (a few thousand entries).
Perform multiple reloads between additions.
Check the Console, the corruption errors appear.
From this point, all insert attempts fail system-wide.
Expected Result:
Entries should be inserted successfully, or the system should self-recover without persistent corruption.
Actual Result:
sqlite3_step fails with Code=11, and the Call Directory database remains corrupted until the user resets all settings.
Additional Notes:
All numbers are sorted and deduplicated before insertion.
Happens intermittently after multiple reloads.
The system log always shows internal database failure.
Environment:
Device: iPhone 16 Plus
iOS 18.2 Beta (23C5027f)
Xcode 16.1 (17B55)
Attachments (included in Feedback FB20986470):
sysdiagnose captured immediately after the failure (with Phone app General Profile)
It seems like a system-level corruption affecting all Call Directory extensions once it occurs.

For login purposes, we may want to try automatically checking to see if an email address is set up in certain databases. It looks like the preferred way to do this is via ABAddressBook.shared().me(), then get the right key via in the properties? This, however, is treated as accessing the whole address book and brings up a confirmation dialogue.
However, as I thought about it, that might not be the real way we'd want -- we'd want to go through Active Directory, perhaps?
Am I making any sense, or just being incoherent? 😄
Hi. The WWDC video of the v2 weatherkit api showed some examples for the REST API. However, they were very limited.
The documentation for the REST API is currently for the v1 weatherkit API. When will the documentation for the v2 API be released? There are some new features of the v2 that I would really like to use, but I can't without knowing the new v2 REST API specifications.
Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!
Hello Apple Developer Community,
I’m working on integrating Siri into my React Native app using native iOS code and bridging to React Native. I’ve followed the necessary steps to set up Siri support, including:
Adding the Siri capability.
Adding Siri usage descriptions in Info.plist.
Using AppIntent and AppShortcutsProvider to define shortcuts.
However, I’m facing the following issues:
Siri Prompts for Confirmation
When a user says a phrase, Siri asks, "Turn on 'MyApp' shortcuts with Siri?" instead of directly recognizing the phrase. Is this expected behavior? If so, how can I reduce friction for users and make the experience more seamless?
Inconsistent Behavior for Existing Users
For users updating to a version with Siri support:
When the app is closed, Siri says, "MyApp hasn't added support for that with Siri."
When the app is open, Siri prompts, "Turn on shortcut for MyApp?" and rest all working fine
Why does Siri not recognize the shortcut when the app is closed, even though the shortcut is defined in AppShortcutsProvider? How can I ensure that Siri recognizes the shortcut regardless of whether the app is open or closed? Other than using AppIntent and AppShortcutsProvider should i try Donating shortcuts(will that helps for updated user case). Please help me on this
Hello,
I think it is quite a common use-case to open the parent app that owns the ShieldActionDelegate when the user selects an action in the Shield.
There are only three options available that we can do in response to an action:
ShieldActionResponse.none
ShieldActionResponse.close
ShieldActionResponse.defer
It would be great if this new one would be added as well:
ShieldActionResponse.openParentApp
While finding a workaround for now, the problem is that the ShieldActionDelegate is not a normal app extension. That means, normal tricks do not work to open the parent app from here.
For example, UIApplication.shared.open(url) does not work because we can’t access UIApplication from the ShieldActionDelegate unfortunately.
NSExtensionContext is also not available in the ShieldActionDelegate unfortunately, so that’s also not possible.
There are apps however, that managed to find a workaround, in my research I stumbled across these two:
https://apps.apple.com/de/app/applocker-passcode-lock-apps/id1132845904?l=en-GB
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/app-lock/id6448239603
Please find a screen recording (gif) attached.
Their workaround is 100% what I’m looking for, so there MUST be a way to do so that is compliant with the App Store guidelines (after all, the apps are available on the App Store!).
I had documented my feature request more than 2 years ago in this radar as well: FB10393561
All of my apps stopped working with WeatherKit this morning. They all return an "Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2" error.
I am certain that the WeatherKit capability added (in project) and enabled as a Capability & App Service (on developer portal for the identifier). All other iCloud features of my apps are working as expected. I have also done all the normal troubleshooting using codesign / security cms, etc. to verify entitlements.
I created the following simple project to verify the integration.
import WeatherKit
import CoreLocation
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var temp: Measurement<UnitTemperature>? = nil
var body: some View {
VStack {
if let t = temp {
Text("\(t.value.rounded())°\(t.unit.symbol)")
} else {
Text("Fetching…")
.task {
let service = WeatherService()
do {
let location = CLLocation(latitude: 50.318668, longitude: -114.917710)
let weather = try await service.weather(for: location, including: .current)
temp = weather.temperature
} catch {
print("Error:", error)
}
}
}
}
}
}
Any ideas what may be happening?
I'm the developer of Camera RawX (avail on the Mac App Store).
I'm working on Camera RawX for iOS to provide Quick Look support for camera RAW files not supported by iOS.
I use the Files app to open a RAW file to invoke Quick Look on my iPad (it is running iOS 17.6.1).
The RAW file in question is a Fuji compressed RAF file.
When I tap on the RAF file, iOS opens the Quick Look window, but my app's Quick Look extension is not called.
If the RAW file in question is a Sigma Foveon X3F file, a file that has no native Apple RAW support, then my Quick Look extension is called and I'm able to display the image in the Quick Look window without issue.
It seems that a system recognized RAW file extension (RAF in this case), is not triggering my Quick Look extension. On the macOS, this works fine without any issue.
The strange thing is that my Thumbnail extension is being called when the RAW files show up in Files. Even if it is a RAF file. So it seems like a bug to me or am I missing something crucial in my Info.plist file?

if #available(iOS 16.0, *) {
print("donated")
let intent = BasicIntent()
IntentDonationManager.shared.donate(intent: intent)
}
Trying to test if donations work with the new App Intents framework.
Donating the shortcut once a user taps a button.
The shortcut is not appearing on the lock screen.
Everything else is working as expected. The Shortcut is appearing in the Shortcuts App and is working via Siri.
In developer settings I have
Display Recent Shortcuts -> On
Display Donations on Lock Screen -> On
Allow Any domain -> On
Allow Unverified sources -> On
Running iOS 16.2, iPhone 11.
I've developed a new Quicklook data-based preview extension for a custom file type that generates an image preview of the file. I previously used a Quick Look generator plug-in but support for it was deprecated and now removed in macOS Sequoia.
My app opens files using a
open(url.path, O_RDWR | O_NONBLOCK | O_EXLOCK)
call. The locking flags are used to prevent other clients from writing the file if it's already open.
I discovered that when Finder is showing the “large” file previews (such as when in column or gallery modes) from a SMB share, the open call fails with EWOULDBLOCK as if the file is locked.
It does work just fine on local files. Opening with O_SHLOCK also has the issue. Surprisingly it does work just fine for previews that return Plain Text data instead of Image data.
Using the lsof command, it seems like the Quicklook process has some kind of lock on the file.
This is the output of the lsof command:
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE
QuickLook 48487 XXXX txt REG 1,15 125000611 3161369
Attached is a test project that tries a few different opening and locking functions. It also includes a test file and a sample image preview extension that displays a red square.
When everything is working, regular console messages show the progress of the tests. When the file is on a SMB share and selected in Finder Gallery mode, the open test will fail with a fault message in the console.
Notably, locking with flock works, which is weird because it should have similar semantics according to the man page for open(2).

Not sure if my question is weird or not, but I didnt find any documentation about an sdks access to an apps documents directory.
Im assuming that because sdk is part of the sandbox that it can access and read from the documents directory? i.e. if i used
NSFileManager.defaultManager.URLForDirectory(
directory = NSCachesDirectory,
inDomain = NSUserDomainMask,
appropriateForURL = null,
create = false,
error = null,
)
to write a file called "file.txt", then any sdk my app used has the ability to access the contents of said directory?
If yes, why isnt this considered something more worth mentioning? usually in filemanager tutorials they never warn about this.
FYI: Im asking more for iOS and iPadOs then MacOs.
Hi all, I'm working on a really basic counter app as a way to explore SwiftData and have come across some behavior that I don't understand. I have a very simple App Intent that increments a user-specified counter in my app. The intent doesn't throw any errors and correctly updates the CoreData store but, when I switch back to my app from the Shortcuts app (where I'm testing the app intent), the view hasn't updated. Closing and re-opening the app shows the incremented counter value but I'd like to know if it's possible to have my app's UI update when the CoreData store is updated from outside the app without relaunching the whole app.
For some brief context, here's my view and the App Intent:
struct ContentView: View {
@Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext
@Query private var counters: [Counter]
// ...
var body: some View {
NavigationStack {
List {
ForEach(counters) { counter in
CounterRowItem(counter: counter)
}
.onDelete(perform: deleteItems)
}
// ...
}
}
struct IncrementCounterIntent: AppIntent {
static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Increment Counter"
@Parameter(title: "Name", optionsProvider: CounterOptionsProvider()) var name: String
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<Int> {
let provider = try CounterProvider()
guard let counter = try provider.fetchCounters().first(where: { $0.name == name }) else {
print("Couldn't find counter with name '\(name)'")
return .result(value: 0)
}
counter.count += 1
try provider.context.save()
return .result(value: counter.count)
}
private final class CounterOptionsProvider: DynamicOptionsProvider {
func results() async throws -> [String] {
try CounterProvider().fetchCounters().map { $0.name }
}
}
}
I’m encountering an issue while reading/writing shared preferences using UserDefaults with an App Group in my iOS Message Extension. The following error appears in the console:
`Couldn't read values in CFPrefsPlistSource<0x3034e7f80> (Domain: [MyAppGroup], User: kCFPreferencesAnyUser, ByHost: Yes, Container: (null), Contents Need Refresh: Yes): Using kCFPreferencesAnyUser with a container is only allowed for System Containers, detaching from cfprefsd.
I have correctly enabled the App Group in both my containing app and the Message Extension, and I am using UserDefaults(suiteName:) to access shared preferences. However, I keep getting this error when trying to read/write values.
Has anyone encountered this before? How can I properly configure my app group preferences to avoid this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Starting with iOS 18.3, we are getting infrequent crash reports somehow related to web sockets. Are there any new caveats we should be aware of or is it just a CFNetwork bug?
