We tried to fetch the recorded PPG data using SensorKit with the following code, however the didFetchResult callback method is never called. let ppgReader = SRSensorReader(sensor: .photoplethysmogram) let request = SRFetchRequest() let nowDate = Date() let toDate = nowDate.addingTimeInterval(-25 * 60 * 60) let fromDate = toDate.addingTimeInterval(-24 * 60 * 60) request.from = SRAbsoluteTime.fromCFAbsoluteTime(_cf: fromDate.timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate) request.to = SRAbsoluteTime.fromCFAbsoluteTime(_cf: toDate.timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate) ppgReader.delegate = self; ppgReader.fetch(request) The delegate called the didComplete successfully: func sensorReader(_ reader: SRSensorReader, didCompleteFetch fetchRequest: SRFetchRequest) But never called the didFetchResult func sensorReader(_ reader: SRSensorReader, fetching fetchRequest: SRFetchRequest, didFetchResult result: SRFetchResult<AnyObject>) -> Bool Any ideas why ? (I am wearing the watch for couple days and ensure it has the data for the time period I am querying) One thing I notice is when Apple granted us the entitlement, it uses Uppercase for ECG and PPG, however the document use Lowercases in the plist https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sensorkit/srsensor/photoplethysmogram Dose it matter ?

I'm working on building a Text Messages Filter Extension app and currently facing the below error: "Cannot find 'ILMessageFilterExtensionConfigurationManager' in scope". As required the app includes MessageFilterStatusManager.swift file, with the host app designated as the Target Membership. App minimum deployment is set to iOS 17.6 and I'm working with Xcode Version 26.2. If anyone has encountered this error I'd appreciate your feedback.

I'm developing an IOS time management app, and want to sync data from ios local calendar. How to incrementally synchronize data after full synchronization?

We are trying to extend our app with Push To Talk functionality by integrating the Push To Talk framework. We are extensively testing what happens if the app is running in the foreground, in the background or not running at all. When the app is in the foreground, and the user has joined a channel we maintain an open connection to our server. When a remote participant starts streaming audio, we immediately call setActiveRemoteParticipant on our PTChannelManager instance. The PTT system will than call our delegate's channelManager:didActivate audioSession method and we can successfully play the incoming audio. When the app is not running at all, there is of course no active connection initially. When another participant starts talking we send a push notification. The PTT system will start our app in the background, call the incomingPushResult method on our delegate, after returning the remote participant the PTT framework will then call the channelmanager:didJoin delegate method which we will use to re-establish the server connection, the PTT framework then calls our channelManager:didActivate audioSession delegate method and we can then successfully play audio. Now the problem. When the application was initially in the foreground and has an established server connection, we initially keep the server connection active when the app enters the background state, until a certain timeout or the system decides our app needs to be killed / removed from memory. This allows us to finish an incoming audio stream, quickly react on incoming responses etc. When we then receive an incoming audio stream after a certain delay (for example 5 seconds) we call the channelManager.setRemoteParticipant method (using try await syntax). This finishes successfully, without any error, however the channelManager:didActivate audioSession delegate method is never called. Manually setting up an audio session is not allowed either and returns an error. Our current workaround for this issue is to disconnect the server connection as soon as the app goes into the background. This will make sure our server sends a push notification, which is successful in activating the audio session after which we can play audio. However, this means we need to re-establish the connection which will introduce an unnecessary delay before we can start playback (and currently means we loose some audio). This also means we need to do extra checks when going to the background to make sure there is no active incoming stream. After each incoming stream we have to check again if we are in the background and disconnect immediately to make sure we get a push notification next time. This can of course also lead to race conditions in an active conversation where we might need to disconnect between incoming streams and if we don't do this in time we might never get an activated audio session. Now this might be by design, as Apple might not want us to keep the server connection active when the application enters the background state. But if that's the case I would expect the channelManager.setRemoteParticipant method to throw an error, but it doesn't. It returns successfully after which we would expect the audio session to get activated as well. So maybe we are not setting the capabilities of our project correctly (we might need other background permissions as well, although we already experimented with that), or we need to do something else to make this work?

Hello, After being in the AppStore for more than a year with the app working perfectly, yesterday I started seeing that WeatherKit requests failed with Failed to generate jwt token for: com.apple.weatherkit.authservice with error: Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" Encountered an error when fetching weather data subset; location=<+41.40217108,+2.20023642> +/- 0.00m (speed -1.00 mps / course -1.00) @ 13/12/25, 12:20:35 Central European Standard Time, error=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors 2 Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" I checked on developer.apple.com and we still have everything turned on and No changes were made from an already deployed app; and we pay 200$ a month for WeatherKit, this is unacceptable since it's not the first time WeatherKit randomly decides to stop working. More fun facts: the widget works fine...

Issue Description: When the snooze alarm and a set alarm share the same time, the behavior differs between locked and unlocked screen states. The current issue occurs when the screen is unlocked and the device is on the home screen before the alarm goes off: Alarm A is set for 17:23, and the snooze button is tapped when it rings. Alarm B is set for 17:25. At 17:25, Alarm B first vibrates and then rings (no buttons are pressed at this time). A few seconds later, it vibrates a second time. After that, the alarm becomes silent. If dynamic/notification alarms are disabled, the next scheduled alarm rings normally.

Issue Description: When an alarm is set for a time earlier than the current system time, and the system time is manually adjusted back to before the alarm time, the alarm does not ring when the scheduled time is reached. Steps to Reproduce: Current time is 23:34 Set an alarm for 23:30 (earlier than the current time) Manually change the system time to 23:28 Wait until the time reaches 23:30 The alarm does not ring Device: iPhone 14 Pro / iOS 26.2

The Problem The Family Activity Picker shows only the child's app categories on the guardian's/parent's device. The application names from the child's device are not showing on the guardian's/parent's device. The authorization is done on the child's device via try await AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .child) Usage of the family activity picker on the guardian's/parent's device struct ContentView: View { @State private var isPresented = true @StateObject private var familyControlsHelper = FamilyControlsHelper.shared var onClose: () -> Void var body: some View { ZStack { Color.black.opacity(0.1).ignoresSafeArea() } .familyActivityPicker( isPresented: $isPresented, selection: $familyControlsHelper.familyActivitySelection ) .onChange(of: isPresented) { _ in if !isPresented { onClose() } } } } IMPORTANT Both devices are real (not simulators), and the app has granted distribution Family Controls entitlement. Question Is this the expected behavior? Or the child's app should appear on the guardian's device? Thanks.

Hi, I’ve built an app that includes a Contacts Provider Extension (CPE). On iOS 18, I observed the expected behavior — when the main app is uninstalled, the corresponding CPE entry is also removed from the Contacts list. However, on iOS 26, this no longer happens. After uninstalling the app, the CPE remains visible and active in the Contacts list, even though the app is gone.

After transferring the App ownership to a different account, if you update the app on iOS, two identical apps will show up in Settings > Screen Time. Users can't control the blocking settings from before the update - the only fix is to restart the phone. After the next execution of manageStore.shield.applications, users still can't manually disable the restrictions - their only option is to uninstall and reinstall the app. I believe this is related to how Screen Time API's authentication works - it's not just tied to the app's bundle ID, but also linked to the developer account's organization ID. Any suggestions for a clean solution that would allow smooth app updates after the transfer without running into these issues?

I'm encountering a strange behavior with one of my home's on Home app while I'm off network. When I launch the app it indicates that the hub is not responding and all of my devices are unavailable. However, on the menu bar at the bottom if I switch to "Automation" and back to "Home" the pop-up goes away and my devices are accessible again (sometimes this take a few attempts). Siri is also able to consistently control my devices without an issue. The same behavior occurs with Home app on other devices (e.g. Mac) and with other members that have access to the household. 3rd party HomeKit app like "Controller" does not have an issue. This issue began with iOS 26 and I haven't had much luck resolving the issue. I already tried rebooting everything, including removing and re-adding an Apple TV (home hub). I have other homes shared with me in Home App with similar network/environment that are still working. The home I'm having issues has the most number of devices though (over 100+).

A screen time app I'm making has started telling users that their limit was reached even when they're far below their limit for the day (sometimes even at 0 minutes for the day). This issue only started happening after upgrading my software to iOS 26.2. Is this happening to anyone else? If so how have you found any solutions or does anyone know of any changes that could be causing this? Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Apple Team, We have high crash counts in App Store Connect > App Analytics > Crashes (197), but zero matching crashes in Xcode Organizer or Firebase Crashlytics for the same app version/build. App details: Bundle ID: com.youtunein.youtunein Version: [1.88,1.89,1.90,1.91] Affected iOS versions: [1.88,1.89,1.90,1.91] Steps tried: Downloaded raw .crash files from App Store Connect and symbolicated in Xcode Organizer – no crashes appear. Firebase console clean, no spikes. dSYM files uploaded via Xcode Archive/Transporter. Enabled crash reporting in app (no custom crash handling blocking). Crash reports attached (top 3 symbolicated). No ANRs/symbolication issues visible. Production + TestFlight both affected? Need help understanding discrepancy and resolving. Thanks!

Since the iOS 26.2 update, we have been experiencing anomalous behavior with the DeviceActivityMonitor extension when utilizing the ScreenTime API. Specifically, we are receiving the eventDidReachThreshold event within a few minutes of initiating monitoring, despite configuring a high usage limit. The process of turning off Screen Time -> restarting the device -> turning on Screen Time does not work. Any ideas? Thanks Filed Feedback Assistant: FB21560904

I am implementing a custom SMS filter using the IdentityLookup framework. My goal is to authenticate the network requests made via context.deferQueryRequestToNetwork using a user-specific JWT token generated in the containing (main) app after a successful login.

Hi all, I'm working on a Call Directory Extension using CXCallDirectoryExtensionContext. I want to add a list of numbers to be blocked. Here's the function I use: override func beginRequest(with context: CXCallDirectoryExtensionContext) { context.delegate = self let blockedNumbers = loadNumberEntries(forKey: blockedKey) let identifiedNumbers = loadNumberEntries(forKey: identifiedKey) addAllBlocking(blockedNumbers, to: context) addAllIdentification(identifiedNumbers, to: context) context.completeRequest() } private func addAllBlocking(_ entries: [NumberEntry], to context: CXCallDirectoryExtensionContext) { let numbers: [Int64] = entries.compactMap { Int64($0.countryCode + $0.phone) }.sorted() for number in numbers { context.addBlockingEntry(withNextSequentialPhoneNumber: number) print("# Added blocking entry: \(number)") } } When I run this, I see in the console: # Added blocking entry: (*my number with country code*) So it seems the number is added correctly. However, in practice, the number is not blocked on the device. I’ve made sure that: The number is stored with the country code prefix. The extension is enabled in Settings → Phone → Call Blocking & Identification. The extension is reloaded after adding numbers. The array of numbers is sorted in ascending order before calling addBlockingEntry. Despite all this, the number still isn’t blocked. Does anyone know why the print shows the number added, but it doesn’t actually block the call? Am I missing something in the way CXCallDirectoryExtensionContext works? Thanks for any advice!

From the document https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sensorkit/srfetchrequest we know that "SensorKit places a 24-hour holding period on newly recorded data before an app can access it. This gives the user an opportunity to delete any data they don’t want to share with the app. A fetch request doesn’t return any results if its time range overlaps this holding period." Will this holding period reset each time when I called startRecording() ? Let's say I upgrade my app to a new version, do I need to call startRecording again to init the data collection process? will it be able to query the data collected from previous version's app ?
