I have a SwiftUI document-based app that for the sake of this discussion stores accounting information: chart of accounts, transactions, etc. Each document is backed by a SwiftData DB. I'd like to incorporate search into the app so that users can find transactions matching certain criteria, so I went to Core Spotlight. Indexing & search within the app seem to work well. The issue is that Spotlight APIs appear to be App based & not Document based. I can't find a way to separate Spotlight data by document. I've tried having each document maintain a UUID as a document-specific identifier and include the identifier in every CSSearchableItem. When performing a query I filter the results with CSUserQueryContext.filterQueries that filter by the document identifier. That works to limit results to the specific file for search operations. Index updates via CSSearchableIndexDelegate.reindex* methods seem to be App-centric. A user may have file #1 open, but the delegate is being asked to update CSSearchableItems for IDs in other files. Is there a proper way to use Spotlight for in-app search with a document-based app? Is there a way to keep Spotlight-indexed data local within the app & not make it available across the system? I.e. I'd like to search within the app only. System-level searches should not surface this data.

An issue with the CallKit UI, specifically regarding the functionality of the speaker button. When a user initiates a video call with CallKit and then, using the existing CallKit session, initiates an audio call, there are no issues with CallKit or the audio. However, if the user terminates the video call from the CallKit UI, the active CallKit session ends. To resume the ongoing audio call, we report a new CallKit call upon the end call trigger. While there are no issues with this reporting, the CallKit UI does not provide an audio route for the built-in receiver, and the speaker button remains unresponsive. IPA was build on SDK 18 and running on iOS beta 26. Issue is NOT seen with SDK18 and running iOS 18.x or lower devices. Feedback - FB18855566

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?

I've a strange problem which is only occurring on 2 client devices. We have enabled Universal links, and have it fully tested and working. On one client device, the link never opens our app; but here's the strange thing: If I long-press on our link (in Messages), it gives a preview (as expected), and the context menu offers "Open in ", as well as "Open in Safari". Tapping on "Open in " does nothing. I've tried the following: Checked I could access the site-association file over https with no redirects Enabled developer mode and used universal link debug feature: pasted the same link - Developer mode says it will open the app. I've carried out the sysdiagnose; And there are entries in there for our app in swcutil_show.txt.

We use call directory extension in one of our applications, we notice that call id is truncated on IOS 18. Example: "Grady GmbH" instead of "GRADY ARCHIE, PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPER GMBH" We notice also if we have calls in the history then the caller id is shown correctly. Issue only on IOS 18.

Hello, I have an app on the App Store built around WeatherKit and it was working fine, up until this morning when I started seeing errors when using the app. When debugging using Xcode I see the familiar error Failed to generate jwt token for: com.apple.weatherkit.authservice with error: Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" which, according to what I've read on the forums looks like an authentication error. Attaching a network debugger to the Simulator, I saw this error: This I have tried: Verify that WeatherKit is enabled on both Capabilities and App Services tabs on the Dev Portal. Toggle on/off this value and regenerate Provisioning Profiles Uninstall/reinstall Checking that I have API available calls. Nothing. If I create a new Bundle ID and sign with that, it works correctly. But this is not an option since that will force all my customers to download everything from scratch. I am getting emails from customers demanding money back and I can't figure out what has happened. The only thing I can think of, is that I started developing an Apple Watch app to complement the iOS app, but that was last week and everything was working fine.

Hi, I'm currently working on an app made originally for iOS 15. On it, I add an observer on viewDidLoad function of my ViewController to listen for changes on the UserDefault values for connection settings. NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(settingsChanged), name: UserDefaults.didChangeNotification, object: nil) Said values can only be modified on the app's section from System Settings. Thing is, up to iOS 17, the notification fired as expected, but starting from iOS 18, the notification doesn't seem to be sent by the OS. Is there anything I should change in my observer, or any other technique to listen for the describe event? Thanks in advance.

We persist ApplicationTokens in a storage container that ShieldConfigurationExtension has access to. In rare, cases all the ApplicationTokens for a user seem to change. We know this because the Application parameter passed into configuration(shielding application: Application) -> ShieldConfiguration function has a Token that does not match (using == ) any of the ones we are persisting in storage. Interestingly, the persisted ones still work, so I don't believe storage has gotten corrupted or anything. We can use them to add or remove shields, we can use them to display labels of the apps they represent, etc. But they don’t match what’s passed into the ShieldConfiguration extension. If the user goes into the FamilyPicker at this point and selects an app of a token that we are already persisting, the FamilyPickerSelection will have a token matching the new one that is passed into ShieldConfigurationExtension, not the one we persisted when they last selected that app. This leads me to believe the tokens are updated/rotated in some cases. When and why does this happen, and how can we handle it gracefully?

I’m developing a self-management app using Family Controls, but I’ve encountered a FamilyActivityPciker's crash due to an XPC(or UIRemoteView) issue when there are too many tokens(maybe 200+ items) in a category. This makes bad UX, so I’m looking for a workaround. (I guess that the crash reason is cross process memory limitations, such as App Extension 50MB memory limitation.) A lot of web domains contribute to increase the number of tokens, However, even after clearing Safari’s browsing history, the tokens displayed in the FamilyActivityPicker remains unchanged. Is there any workaround that a 3rd party developer can implement to address this issue? prevent FamilyActivityPicker crashes or reduce the number of web domain tokens? For example, if there’s a way to reset the web domain tokens shown in FamilyActivityPicker from the Settings app, I could offer a help to users. Does anybody have ideas? Expanding SNS Category (29 items) It succeeded. Expanding Productivity & Finance (214 items) It failed. The screen froze, then appears blank. When the number of items is around 100, the crash rate is 50%, but when the items are over 200, the crash rate is 100%. Search Bar Problem The search bar also has same problem. If the number of search results are small, it works good without any blank, but if there are a lot of search results (200+), the XCP crashes and the screen appears blank.

I have two call directory extensions, each with InfoPlist.strings in en.lproj and nb.lproj directories. In these files I've defined CFBundleDisplayName for both locales. These names are displayed under Settings -> Phone -> Call Blocking & Identification. On iOS 12.2 the names are displayed correctly in both Norwegian and English. Testing on iOS 15.3 the English names are displayed even when device language is set to Norwegian. Worth noting: When updating the English versions of CFBundleDisplayName this is immediately reflected in Call Blocking & Identification page with Norwegian device language. As this feature requires a real device, I'm unable to test on iOS 13 and 14.

On macOS 26, I've run into a situation when a user “customizes” a folder icon with Finder by assigning/changing an SF Symbol or an emoji, QLThumbnailGenerator keeps returning the stale initially retrieved folder icon (no matter whether it had been customized or not) until my app quits. After the app is re-launched, the icon is correctly retrieved once again. let generator = QLThumbnailGenerator.shared let size: CGSize = CGSize(width: 64, height: 64) let request = QLThumbnailGenerator.Request(fileAt: url, size: size, scale: NSScreen.main!.backingScaleFactor, representationTypes: .icon) request.iconMode = true do { let thumb = try await generator.generateBestRepresentation(for: request) thumb.nsImage.size = size return thumb.nsImage } catch { print("generateThumbnail: \(error)") return nil } It seems like the QuickLook Thumbnailing cache does not invalidate automatically upon folder customization. Is there any way to manually invalidate the QuickLook Thumbnailing cache?

Hi, I'm trying to make use of the Device Activity Labels where you supply an ApplicationToken. I can successfully get it to show the icon + title of the Application (twitter in my case) but I cannot get the styling to work. // Works .labelStyle(.iconOnly) .labelStyle(.titleOnly) .border(...) ![]("https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/9660b578-a36f-4d5a-ae18-653a207aa5ab" "title=Screenshot 2023-03-12 at 12.57.34 PM.png;width=1218;height=844") // Does NOT work .font(.largeTitle) .foregroundColor(.blue) I have checked the same style (or just modifiers) against a standard Label and they actually do work in the code below. // This is an application token. Some style not applied. Label(targetApp) .labelStyle(MyStyle()) // Showing the same style using a simple label. All styles correctly applied. Label("Twitter", systemImage: "video.square.fill") .labelStyle(MyStyle()) Is changing the font + color of the title for this Label(_ applicationToken:) supported?

I have a basic setup following WWDC 2020 on Safari Web Extensions and another one on XPC. The video even mentions that one can use UserDefaults or XPC to communicate with the host app. Here is my setup. macOS 15.2, Xcode 16.2 A macOS app (all targets sandboxed, with an app group) with 3 targets: SwiftUI Hello World web extension XPC Service The web extension itself works and can update UserDefaults, which can then be read by SwiftUI app - everything works by the book. The app can communicate to the XPC service via NSXPCConnection - again, everything works fine. The problem is that the web extension does not communicate with XPC, and this is what I need so that I can avoid using UserDefaults for larger and more complex payloads.

We are developing a hybrid iOS app where Angular content is rendered inside a WKWebView, hosted by a native Swift application. We use the GameController framework to detect whether an external Bluetooth keyboard is connected to an iPad. The following code is executed when the app enters the foreground and also when requested by the web layer: func keyboardStatusHandler(){ let isKeyboardConnected = GCKeyboard.coalesced != nil if(!isKeyboardConnected){ //sent status to Angular } else { //sent status to Angular } } Crash details We are seeing intermittent crashes on iPad with the following stack trace: Crashed: GCDeviceSession.HID 0 libobjc.A.dylib 0x7db8 objc_retain_x8 + 16 1 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0xfb8 void HelperBase<ExtendedInline>::copyCapture<(HelperBase<ExtendedInline>::BlockCaptureKind)3>(unsigned int) + 48 2 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0xbc4 HelperBase<GenericInline>::copyBlock(Block_layout*, Block_layout*) + 108 3 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0xc94 _call_copy_helpers_excp + 60 4 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0xef8 _Block_copy + 412 5 libdispatch.dylib 0x1a70 _dispatch_Block_copy + 32 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x792c dispatch_async + 56 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x792c dispatch_channel_async + 56 8 GameController 0xea6dc -[GCKeyboardInput _handleKeyboardEvent:] + 324 9 GameController 0x22508 __53-[_GCKeyboardEventHIDAdapter initWithSource:service:]_block_invoke + 376 10 GameController 0x11d30 -[_GCHIDEventSubject publishHIDEvent:] + 268 11 GameController 0xb79cc __40-[_GCHIDEventUIKitClient initWithQueue:]_block_invoke_3 + 44 12 libdispatch.dylib 0x1b584 _dispatch_client_callout + 16 13 libdispatch.dylib 0x12088 _dispatch_async_and_wait_invoke_and_complete_recurse + 272 14 libdispatch.dylib 0x8448 _dispatch_async_and_wait_f + 108 15 GameController 0xb7984 __40-[_GCHIDEventUIKitClient initWithQueue:]_block_invoke_2 + 132 16 GameController 0xb746c __48-[__GCHIDEventUIKitClient _initWithApplication:]_block_invoke + 256 17 UIKitCore 0x11fd394 __61-[UIEventFetcher _setHIDGameControllerEventObserver:onQueue:]_block_invoke_3 + 40 18 libdispatch.dylib 0x1aac _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 32 19 libdispatch.dylib 0x1b584 _dispatch_client_callout + 16 20 libdispatch.dylib 0xa2d0 _dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 740 21 libdispatch.dylib 0xadac _dispatch_lane_invoke + 388 22 libdispatch.dylib 0x151dc _dispatch_root_queue_drain_deferred_wlh + 292 23 libdispatch.dylib 0x14a60 _dispatch_workloop_worker_thread + 540 24 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0xa0c _pthread_wqthread + 292 25 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0xaac start_wqthread + 8 Observed scenarios Crash occurs when the app transitions from background to foreground Crash also occurs when the Angular layer requests keyboard status, triggering the same code path Questions Has anyone encountered crashes related to GCKeyboard.coalesced or GCKeyboardInput like this? Are there known issues with the GameController framework when querying keyboard state during app lifecycle transitions? Is there a recommended or safer way to detect external keyboard connection status on iPad (especially when using WKWebView)? Any insights, known platform issues, or suggested workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, I’m building an app that helps people spend less time on social media apps. For that, I make heavy use of Apple’s Screen Time APIs, such as ManagedSettings and FamilyControls. When an app is locked using a ShieldConfiguration, the user has to open my app in order to unlock it (e.g. enter a code). This is very cumbersome because no documented API exists to open the parent app (=my app) from the ShieldActionDelegate (also part of my app) when the user presses a button of the ShieldConfiguration. The ShieldActionDelegate callback just offers three options in its ShieldActionResponse: .none .defer .close .openParentApp is missing. We are working around this limitation by sending a local push notification that the user has to tap on. This has multiple drawbacks: It has to be ensured that notification permission has been granted. It has to be ensured that notifications can be delivered even while focus is enabled. Features such as Apple Intelligence notification summaries and notification prioritization can heavily delay delivering notifications and thus frustrate the user. Neither my users nor myself do understand why this is not possible in a smoother way, at least according to the documentation. There are 3rd party apps that have such functionality, they can directly open their own app from a button press in the Shield, see here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/applocker-passcode-lock-apps/id1132845904 It would be great if Apple could level the playfield for all developers and document how this is achievable, because technically it clearly is. Thanks a lot and have a great day!

When I search for text in a .html file using the Command-Spacebar spotlight popup the .html file is never shown in the results. On the other hand the .html file does show in the result when I search in the Finder window search field, or when I search in the Terminal using mdfind. Why is this and how can I fix? I want to use spotlight to find .html files. You can reproduce the problem like this: echo spotlighttest > testone.txt % echo spotlighttest > testtwo.html % mdfind spotlighttest 2024-12-30 14:22:28.552 mdfind[28326:550500] [UserQueryParser] Loading keywords and predicates for locale "en_US" 2024-12-30 14:22:28.553 mdfind[28326:550500] [UserQueryParser] Loading keywords and predicates for locale "en" ~/Desktop/Spotlighttest/testone.txt ~/Desktop/Spotlighttest/testtwo.html I believe this shows that both files are index properly, but if you then do Command-Spacebar and search for "Spotlighttest" I think you will see that only testone shows as a result. Edit I believe this is a change in macOS 15.x and used to work correctly in previous macOS

Hello, The purpose of "Screen Time Passcode" under Settings/Screen Time is to protect Screen Time preferences and it is asked every time the user updates Downtime, App Limits, Content & Privacy Restrictions and so on. But the private passcode is not requested if the user disables Screen Time for a particular app (only Face ID or phone passcode is requested, but not the private Screen Time passcode). I think this is a mistake, I think the purpose of a private Screen Time passcode is to protect all settings, including apps that use this API, right? Is there any solution to this? Thank you.

We’re trying to enable deep links for our application com.remonon.remonon. Only links that start with https://remonon.com/app/ should redirect to our app. I’ve closely followed the tutorial at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/supporting-associated-domains. Our apple-app-site-association is correctly placed at https://remonon.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association and looks like this: { "applinks": { "details": [ { "appIDs": [ "25N8TLPALL.com.remonon.remonon" ], "components": [ { "/": "/app/*", "comment": "Only URLs under /app/ will be handled as deep links" } ] } ] }, "webcredentials": { "apps": [ "25N8TLPALL.com.remonon.remonon" ] } } Our *.entitlements looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>aps-environment</key> <string>production</string> <key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key> <array> <string>applinks:remonon.com</string> <string>webcredentials:remonon.com</string> </array> <key>com.apple.developer.default-data-protection</key> <string>NSFileProtectionComplete</string> <key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> <array> <string>group.com.remonon.remonon</string> </array> </dict> </plist> Our apple-app-site-association was published two weeks ago to make sure apple’s caches were able to catch up in the meantime. Still, opening the link https://remonon.com/app/test on a real device with our app installed does not open our app but safari. A while ago, when all remonon.com-urls should open our app instead of only those which have the "app" path prefix, the deep links was working perfectly fine. What am I missing?
