Its possible to add the Declared Age Range entitlement to extensions, in particular I'm looking at a Notification Service Extension. However the DAR requestAgeRange() API takes a view controller as a parameter. Presumably therefore its not possible for a notification service extension to obtain the age range itself directly? Yes the extension can read it from shared groups if the app reads it and set it into the group. However the scenario I'm thinking of is this: App runs and gets the age range. Sets its functionality accordingly. The server sends pushes which are intercepted by the notification service extension, the extension adjusts its functionality based upon what the app wrote to shared groups The user changes the age range setting, but the app doesn't run. The extension keeps receiving pushes but its functionality is now out of sync with the age range as its not able to obtain it directly

From some moment of time, Universal Links stopped working for our app. As per my understanding, application reinstall or update caused system to fetch AASA file from CDN, which started to reply with 404 for our domain (https://app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1/app.link.digidentity.eu). In the meantime, nothing has changed inside our app or on our BE (https://app.link.digidentity.eu/.well-known/apple-app-site-association).

I have a public and accessible .well-known/apple-app-site-association file for both my domain.com and subdomain.domain.com with "paths": ["*"] . Both example.com and blog.example.com are added in Associated domains and any link that contains domain.com and domain.com/path normally deep links into my app. I used to have an *.example.com that successfully deep linked all my subdomains into my app but now I had to remove it as some subdomains will need to link to other apps, but some should still link to the same app. I removed * but left blog.example.com as that specific subdomain still needs to deep link into my app. But now blog.example.com is not even being recognized by my app and any link starting with blog.example.com just opens in safari. What am I missing? Why is this happening ?

I want decoded my base64 string and want to create image from it. NSData *data = [NSData dataWithBytes:bpData.rt_wav.data length:sizeof(bpData.rt_wav.data)]; NSMutableString *baseString = [data base64Encoding]; UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:data];

I'm a font developer. In the development process, I will revise a font and overwrite the OTF file that is currently enabled (registered) with macOS. If I then launch an app, it will immediately use the revised version of the font; while apps that are already loaded will continue to use the old version. This suggests that each app is loading new and separate font data, rather than getting it from some existing cache in memory. Yet macOS does have a "font cache" of some sort. Some apps, like TextEdit, seem to only load the fonts that they need to use. However, other apps, like Pages, load every enabled (registered) font on the OS!! (According to the Open Files list in Activity Monitor.) Given that /System/Library/Fonts/ is 625 Mb, and we can't disable any of it, isn't that a lot of data to be repeating? How many fonts is too many fonts? I can't find much documentation about the process.

I am working with a watchOS app in SwiftUI, and I am using the following code to dial a phone number from the watch: var number = "123456789" if let telURL = URL(string: "tel:\(number)") { let wkExtension = WKExtension.shared() wkExtension.openSystemURL(telURL) } The issue is that when I try to dial a number starting with a * (asterisk) or # (hash), it doesn't work. When dialing a regular number, it works fine. Is there any way to get this to work?

Hello everyone, Our team is currently developing an iOS application requiring real-time audio communication and evaluating the most suitable frameworks. Options include CallKit, custom solutions using AVAudioEngine/Audio Units, and the PushToTalk framework. Regarding the PushToTalk framework, we have some questions about its core design and capabilities that we'd appreciate clarification on from the community or Apple engineers. Based on the PushToTalk framework documentation, its API design (e.g., methods like requestBeginTransmission, endTransmission which imply explicitly requesting transmission rights), and its system UI integration, it strongly appears oriented towards half-duplex communication scenarios, similar to traditional walkie-talkies where only one participant transmits audio at a time. Is this understanding accurate? Is the PushToTalk framework's design strictly limited to managing half-duplex audio interactions? Or, does the framework itself also provide built-in mechanisms or APIs to manage simultaneous, bi-directional (full-duplex) audio streaming between participants? To be clear, we are asking about the inherent capabilities of the PushToTalk framework itself. We understand it's possible to use PushToTalk for signaling and UI management, and separately implement the actual full-duplex audio stream using AVAudioEngine or other audio APIs. However, we want to confirm if the framework itself is designed to support or simplify full-duplex audio communication. Have other developers investigated the specific limitations or capabilities of the PushToTalk framework regarding audio transmission modes (half-duplex vs. full-duplex)? Are there any official documentation references or WWDC sessions that explicitly clarify the framework's support (or lack thereof) for full-duplex operation? If PushToTalk is indeed limited to half-duplex, what are the generally accepted best practices for apps requiring full-duplex calls – transitioning directly to CallKit (where applicable) or building custom audio processing pipelines? Clarifying this point is crucial for us to select the correct technology stack for our application. Any relevant insights, documentation pointers, or shared development experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help!

Hello. I've implemented the Live Caller ID Lookup feature in my app, but sometimes I get a weird error. When I call LiveCallerIDLookupManager.shared.refreshPIRParameters(...) from my app, it sometimes throws an error: Error Domain=com.apple.CipherML Code=1100 "Unable to query status due to errors: The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Unable to query status due to errors: The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection., NSUnderlyingError=0x118f65740 {Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1022 "The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The resource could not be loaded because the App Transport Security policy requires the use of a secure connection., NSErrorFailingURLKey=http://www.example.com/config}}} What does this error mean? And where did the example.com part come from? What should I do to get rid of this error? My Service URL is hardcoded in the Live Caller ID Lookup Extension of my app and it is definitely not example.com.

Hello Team, We are currently experiencing a challenge deploying our application to the production environment. This is because the previous deployment was done using an old account, whereas we have now created a new organizational account that we are using to deploy the updated and modified version of the application. Kindly advise on the best practice to resolve this and proceed with the deployment.

Hello, developers! I’m interested in adding my native language and flag to iOS, iPadOS and MacOS. Could you please recommend a solution or provide some valuable advice on how to achieve this? I’d greatly appreciate your assistance. Thanks!

Hello. We have an app and a custom dylib hat seems to be crashing only when Rosetta is involved. I believe it's the custom DYLIB that crashes. Here are some observations. The issue happens on the older 2022 built DYLIB (Intel only) And the newer DYLIB built (Universal) The universal DYLIB works fine natively on both Intel and M1 machines. It's only when we access it through an Intel only .app and it's running with Rosetta that we see the crash. The older Intel only .DYLIB worked perfectly with the same testing .app in versions before Sonoma, now they crash with the same .app, same build. Crash reports have been all over the place, they vary but repeat themselves. It has been a little confusing as to how to approach this issue and would appreciate any input that can help us understand what is going wrong and how to move forward. Crash reports are attached Crash Report 1 Crash Report 2 Crash Report 3 The crash occurs as SIGSEGV Version: 2.0 (1) Code Type: X86-64 (Translated) Parent Process: launchd [1] User ID: 501 Date/Time: 2025-04-14 19:55:06.0103 +0200 OS Version: macOS 14.6 (23G5075b) Report Version: 12 Anonymous UUID: A08ECCFA-BF01-8636-7453-E4476586D3A8 Time Awake Since Boot: 3900 seconds System Integrity Protection: enabled Notes: PC register does not match crashing frame (0x0 vs 0x102920144) Crashed Thread: 10 Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x000000011d052840 Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x000000011d052840 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11 Segmentation fault: 11 Terminating Process: exc handler [3174] VM Region Info: 0x11d052840 is not in any region.

Is there any way to find the reason for a CRASHING_DUE_TO_PRIVACY_VIOLATION from a crash report? It does not happen on my old iPad Air 2 and it does not happen on the simulators with the latest iOS. But it crashes always on newer real devices to which I have no access. The last app review for the AppStore also did not find it. I added some privacy strings by guessing and sent it via TestFlight but it doesn't change anything.

We use SCK to screen share, however [SCShareableContent getShareableContentWithCompletionHandler:] takes over 5+ seconds before returning the response. Is it normal? What we can do to reduce the time consumption?

Hello all, I'm developing a Mac app and need to read the content of incoming SMS, I am able to implement in android just the user has to consent and it does not read her contacts messages, so I am wondering if apple can allow this.

Hi everyone, I’m building a sports performance app for Apple Watch that uses the onboard IMU to analyze swings and impacts in sports like tennis and golf. The goal is to estimate club/racket head speed, ball speed, and shot quality in real time from wrist motion data. With Core Motion, I can currently get deviceMotion updates at ~100 Hz. While this is fine for general movement tracking, the actual ball impact happens much faster — 5–10 ms in tennis and ~0.5 ms in golf. Many of the high-frequency vibration/impact components are missed at 100 Hz, making it hard to directly measure or more accurately estimate certain performance metrics. Questions for Apple / community: 1. Is there a way to access raw accelerometer and gyroscope data at higher sampling rates (e.g., 500–1000 Hz) on Apple Watch? 2. If not, is this due to hardware limitations or an API/software constraint? 3. Are there any research, partner, or beta programs that allow deeper sensor access for sports-science use cases? Even modest increases in IMU sampling could unlock more accurate ball-speed estimates, impact force analysis, and strike-quality detection without needing external sensors — making Apple Watch a best-in-class wearable for precision sports analytics. Happy to share more about the current approach, sample data, and potential use cases if helpful. Thanks, Max

I'm working on adding MetricKit to our iPad application that we distribute internally via Enterprise distribution. I've set up the didReceive functions for both MXMetricPayload and MXDiagnosticPayload. When I build onto a device via Xcode and use the Simulate MetricKit Payloads command, everything works as expected. The issue I'm having is when testing on a device via our enterprise distribution. When I simulate a crash, I am receiving the MXDiagnosticPayload so that part is working correctly. However, I am never receiving a MXMetricPayload. I've been using the app and waiting up to 3 days in some tests and not receiving any payload over that time frame. Some information I found suggested the issue might be MetricKit not working fully on enterprise apps but I haven't been able to find a definitive source on that question. Hoping someone here can guide me on that. Thanks!

We just dropped support for iOS 16 in our app and migrated to the new properties on Locale to extract the language code, region, and script. However, after doing this we are seeing an issue where the script property is returning a value when the language has no script. Here is the initializer that we are using to populate the values. The identifier is coming from the preferredLanguages property that is found on Locale. init?(identifier: String) { let locale = Locale(identifier: identifier) guard let languageCode = locale.language.languageCode?.identifier else { return nil } language = languageCode region = locale.region?.identifier script = locale.language.script?.identifier } Whenever I inspect locale.language I see all of the correct values. However, when I inspect locale.language.script directly it is always returning Latn as the value. If I inspect the deprecated locale.scriptCode property it will return nil as expected. Here is an example from the debugger for en-AU. I also see the same for other languages such as en-AE, pt-BR. Since the language components show the script as nil, then I would expect locale.language.script?.identifier to also return nil.

I’m developing an app with audio calling functionality, and I’d like to take advantage of Picture-in-Picture (PiP) so that when the user moves the app to the background, the ongoing call can remain minimized on the Home screen. Based on my research, it seems possible to display a view in PiP mode and have it play, and I haven’t found any documentation stating that this is prohibited. Could you please confirm if this is allowed?

Hello, I would like to retrieve Screen Time data in my iOS app for development purposes. I have read that access to Screen Time data may be possible if you are enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an organization (enterprise membership), but not as an individual developer. Could anyone clarify the following points? Is it possible to access Screen Time data via API or framework as an individual developer? Is this functionality limited only to enterprise members, and if so, what are the requirements or procedures? Are there any official Apple documents or sample codes about this process? If anyone has experience or can share relevant links or advice, I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance!
