Hello! Some colleagues and work on Jujutsu, a version control system compatible with git, and I think we've uncovered a potential lock contention bug in either APFS or the Darwin kernel. There are four contributing factors to us thinking this is related to APFS or the Kernel: jj's testsuite uses nextest, a test runner for Rust that spawns each individual test as a separate process. The testsuite slowed down by a factor of ~5x on macOS after jj started using fsync. The slowdown increases as additional cores are allocated. A similar slowdown did not occur on ext4. Similar performance issues were reported in the past by a former Mercurial maintainer: https://gregoryszorc.com/blog/2018/10/29/global-kernel-locks-in-apfs/. My friend and colleague André has measured the test suite on an M3 Ultra with both a ramdisk and a traditional SSD and produced this graph: (The most thorough writeup is the discussion on this pull request.) I know I should file a feedback/bug report, but before I do, I'm struggling with profiling and finding kernel/APFS frames in my profiles so that I can properly attribute the cause of this apparent lock contention. Naively, I ran xctrace record --template 'Time Profiler' --output output.trace --launch /Users/dbarsky/.cargo/bin/cargo-nextest nextest run, and while that detected all processes spawned by nextest, it didn't record all processes as part of the same inspectable profile and didn't really show any frames from the kernel/APFS—I had to select individual processes. So I don't waste people's time and so that I can point a frame/smoking gun in the right system, how can I can use instruments to profile where the kernel and/or APFS are spending its time? Do I need to disable SIP?

Hey, I'm trying to update my old app that used DarkSky to WeatherKit, and struggling. I always get: ailed to generate jwt token for: com.apple.weatherkit.authservice with error: Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" This is regardless if I do it on my iPad, or in the simulator. I have done the following: Selected WeatherKit on the Capabilities and App Services tabs of the Identifier section on developer. Put it under signing and capabilities in XCode I've tried making a new provisioning profile, cleaning build folder, etc. Not sure what to do here. I suspect part of this problem is that I developed this app in 2018 and now I'm trying to update it. I am able to run the app on TestFlight, but not as an internal tester. Apple won't let me, so I have to add myself as an external tester. Thanks for any help you can provide!

Is there any recent and a bit authoritative documentation which explains how to debug recent versions of macos kernel? I have found some blog posts from other users but those are either outdated or don't work for some other reason. I am guessing kernel debugging is pretty common for developers working on macos itself, so I'm hoping someone in this forum would have some working instructions for that.

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.

Recently, I've noticed that background Bluetooth scanning stops when I move an app to the background on an iPhone 17 device with Bluetooth 6. I'm curious about a solution. Background Bluetooth scanning doesn't stop on devices older than iOS 26, or on devices that were updated from an iPhone 17 or earlier to iOS 26.

Issue with Universal Links and App Extension (ShieldAction Handler) I'm currently working on a POC app using the FamilyControls framework and facing an issue when trying to open a Universal Link from an app extension, specifically from a ShieldAction handler. When I try to open a Universal Link, I encounter the following error: Failed to open URL https://sixteen-server-c008110f8759.herokuapp.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association: Error Domain=FBSOpenApplicationServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "The request to open 'com.apple.mobilesafari' failed." UserInfo={BSErrorCodeDescription=RequestDenied, NSUnderlyingError=0x14f2d90b0 {Error Domain=FBSOpenApplicationErrorDomain Code=3 "Application com.sixteen.life is neither visible nor entitled, so may not perform un-trusted user actions." UserInfo={BSErrorCodeDescription=Security, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Application com.sixteen.life is neither visible nor entitled, so may not perform un-trusted user actions.}} Context: I’m using a ShieldAction handler as part of an App Extension to trigger the action (e.g., "Break in Shield") in my app. The app extension (ShieldAction handler) is responsible for trying to open the Universal Link. I’m encountering the error because the app is not visible or entitled to perform this action, which seems to be related to security restrictions when using App Extensions. Questions: App Extension and Universal Link Interaction: Is it possible for an App Extension (like ShieldAction handler) to open a Universal Link or trigger an external app, such as Safari, even though it is not the foreground app? Entitlements for App Extensions: Are there any specific entitlements or permissions required to allow an app extension (ShieldAction handler) to open Universal Links or perform actions like opening Safari from the background? App Visibility and State: How can I ensure that my app is in the right state (visible/active) and has the necessary entitlements to trigger these actions when running in the context of an app extension? Workaround: If this behavior is restricted due to app extension limitations, what would be the recommended workaround to handle launching external apps (like Safari) or Universal Links from within an app extension?

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.

When my app launches, it makes maybe 9 or so network requests to load initial data. It also reads some data from disc. Sporadically, I'm seeing an issue where some of the network requests succeed, but anything involving reading from disc does not load immediately. I'm able to move around in the app, tap buttons, swap tabs, swipe pages, so my main actor isn't stuck. Other data that don't involve disc reading / writing is also blank. About 2 minutes in, suddenly everything loads (both stuff from disc and stuff from the network), nearly instantly, the way it should have done when the app launched. Server logs show more initial network requests succeed than we can see data loaded in the app, and then about 2 minutes later, there's a flood of the rest of the requests which then succeed. The responses to some of these initial network requests cause us to make other network requests, and the sever sees some of those start right away. However, other consequences of these first requests are to touch the disc (to search for manually-cached data), and anything that is supposed to happen after that does not succeed until the 2 minute mark. But what bothers me is some things in the app which don't touch the disc also seem to have successful network requests. I'm seeing it on an iPhone 14Pro running iOS 18.2.1, with 607 GB of disc space available. When I take screenshots of the loading screens in my app during the apparent freeze, the clock in the screenshots are right - they reflect the clock at the moment I took the screenshot, but the EXIF data in all dozen or so images shows the exact second 2 minutes later when the server gets the resulting flood of network requests. Screenshots taken after the freeze is over have exif timestamps that match the screenshots, as short as 5 seconds after the freeze ends. The screenshot file names, though sequential, are out of order. for instance, some screenshots from 12:58 have file names numbered after screenshots taken at 12:59. but not all are out of order. This seems like disc contention has spread outside the app, and is impacting the system writing the images to disc. How do I diagnose a cause for this? How does disc contention affect the networking? I have caching turned off for my network requests. We only have a manual image cache, but I don't know how that would stall the display of data that should fetch and display without attempting to hit the image cache. This happens maybe a couple of times a day for some people, maybe once every couple of weeks for others, but of course, it never when we're trying to debug it.

Hello. I took a closer look at the data I'm getting back for hourly forecasts and I'm baffled by results I'm seeing. For example, it's Dec 19, 2022 8:00am PT and I'm asking for the weather for Orchard Park NY (lat 42.766437 long -78.743855) for Dec 23, 2022. The daily forecast tells me they're expected to have 5.9" of snow. However, the hourly forecast with the most snow that day is reported as 0.071" (1.8mm). The Apple Weather app on iOS shows that hour as having 0.6". I wrote a 'for' loop to print the results of my call to WeatherService.shared.weather.         print(oneHour.precipitationAmount.formatted())         print(oneHour.precipitationAmount.description)         print(oneHour.precipitationAmount.unit)         print(oneHour.precipitationAmount.value) 0.071 in 1.8 mm <_NSStatic_NSUnitLength: 0x2010b0178> mm 1.8

I have been experimenting with the BGContinuedProcessingTask API recently (and published sample code for it https://github.com/infinitepower18/BGContinuedProcessingTaskDemo) I have noticed that if I lock the phone, the code that runs as part of the task stops executing. My sample code simply updates the progress each second until it gets to 100, so it should be completed in 1 minute 40 seconds. However, after locking the phone and checking the lock screen a few seconds later the progress indicator was in the same position as before I locked it. If I leave the phone locked for several minutes and check the lock screen the live activity says "Task failed". I haven't seen anything in the documentation regarding execution of tasks while the phone is locked. So I'm a bit confused if I encountered an iOS bug here?

Hi, I am currently experiencing some trouble when using parent model property in a predicate of a child model. I have an Item class that define parent-child relationship: @Model class Item { var timestamp: Date @Relationship(inverse: \Item.children) var parent: Item? var children: [Item] init(parent: Item? = nil, children: [Item] = [], timestamp: Date = .now) { self.parent = parent self.children = children self.timestamp = timestamp } } I subclass this model like that: @available(iOS 26, *) @Model final class CollectionItem: Item { /* ... */ } When i make a Query in my View like that the system crashes: @Query( filter: #Predicate<CollectionItem> { $0.parent == nil }, sort: \CollectionItem.name, ) private var collections: [CollectionItem] CrashReportError: Fatal Error in DataUtilities.swift AppName crashed due to fatalError in DataUtilities.swift at line 85. Couldn't find \CollectionItem.<computed 0x000000034005d4e8 (Optional<Item>)> on CollectionItem with fields [SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "name", keypath: \CollectionItem.<computed 0x000000034003c120 (String)>, defaultValue: nil, metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "icon", keypath: \CollectionItem.<computed 0x000000034003ca04 (Optional<String>)>, defaultValue: nil, metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "timestamp", keypath: \Item.<computed 0x0000000340048018 (Date)>, defaultValue: nil, metadata: nil), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "parent", keypath: \Item.<computed 0x0000000340048a4c (Optional<Item>)>, defaultValue: nil, metadata: Optional(Relationship - name: , options: [], valueType: Any, destination: , inverseName: nil, inverseKeypath: Optional(\Item.<computed 0x0000000340048fe8 (Array<Item>)>))), SwiftData.Schema.PropertyMetadata(name: "children", keypath: \Item.<computed 0x0000000340048fe8 (Array<Item>)>, defaultValue: nil, metadata: nil)] When I query as Item it works but then i cannot sort on CollectionItem field and must add unnecessary down casting: @Query( filter: #Predicate<Item> { $0.parent == nil && $0 is CollectionItem }, ) private var items: [Item] Am I missing something? Is it a platform limitation or a known issue?

I've recently updated one of our CI mac mini's to Sequoia in preparation for the transition to Tahoe later this year. Most things seemed to work just fine, however I see this dialog whenever the UI Tests try to run. This application BoostBrowerUITest-Runner is auto-generated by Xcode to launch your application and then run your UI Tests. We do not have any control over it, which is why this is most surprising. I've checked the codesigning identity with codesign -d -vvvv as well as looked at it's Info.plist and indeed the usage descriptions for everything are present (again, this is autogenerated, so I'm not surprised, but just wanted to confirm the string from the dialog was coming from this app) &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;

I've found the XCUIProtectedResource.localNetwork value, but it seems to only be accessible on iOS for some reason (FB17829325). I'm trying to figure out why this is happening on this machine so I can either fix our code or fix the machine. I have an Apple script that will allow it, but it's fiddly and I'd prefer to fix this the correct way either with the machine or with fixing our testing code.

Continuing with my investigations of several issues that we have been noticing in our testing of the JDK with macosx 15.x, I have now narrowed down at least 2 separate problems for which I need help. For a quick background, starting with macosx 15.x several networking related tests within the JDK have started failing in very odd and hard to debug ways in our internal lab. Reading through the macos docs and with help from others in these forums, I have come to understand that a lot of these failures are to do with the new restrictions that have been placed for "Local Network" operations. I have read through https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technotes/tn3179-understanding-local-network-privacy and I think I understand the necessary background about these restrictions. There's more than one issue in this area that I will need help with, so I'll split them out into separate topics in this forum. That above doc states: macOS 15.1 fixed a number of local network privacy bugs. If you encounter local network privacy problems on macOS 15.0, retest on macOS 15.1 or later. We did have (and continue to have) 15.0 and 15.1 macos instances within our lab which are impacted by these changes. They too show several networking related failures. However, I have decided not to look into those systems and instead focus only on 15.3.1. People might see unexpected behavior in System Settings > Privacy & Security if they have multiple versions of the same app installed (FB15568200). This feedback assistant issue and several others linked in these documentations are inaccessible (even when I login with my existing account). I think it would be good to have some facility in the feedback assistant tool/site to make such issues visible (even if read-only) to be able to watch for updates to those issues. So now coming to the issue. Several of the networking tests in the JDK do mulicasting testing (through BSD sockets API) in order to test the Java SE multicasting socket API implementations. One repeated failure we have been seeing in our labs is an exception with the message "No route to host". It shows up as: Process id: 58700 ... java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host at java.base/sun.nio.ch.DatagramChannelImpl.send0(Native Method) at java.base/sun.nio.ch.DatagramChannelImpl.sendFromNativeBuffer(DatagramChannelImpl.java:914) at java.base/sun.nio.ch.DatagramChannelImpl.send(DatagramChannelImpl.java:871) at java.base/sun.nio.ch.DatagramChannelImpl.send(DatagramChannelImpl.java:798) at java.base/sun.nio.ch.DatagramChannelImpl.blockingSend(DatagramChannelImpl.java:857) at java.base/sun.nio.ch.DatagramSocketAdaptor.send(DatagramSocketAdaptor.java:178) at java.base/java.net.DatagramSocket.send(DatagramSocket.java:593) (this is just one example stacktrace from java program) That "send0" is implemented by the JDK by invoking the sendto() system call. In this case, the sendto() is returning a EHOSTUNREACH error which is what is then propagated to the application. The forum text editor doesn't allow me to post long text, so I'm going to post the rest of this investigation and logs as a reply.

Recently I've been working on a demo project called iLibrary. The main goal was to learn more about CloudKit and SwiftData. After a while I noticed that there were some hangs/freezes when running the app in debug mode. I first tried this with Xcode 15.4 and iOS 17.5. Here the hang only appears at the beginning, but only for a few seconds. But when I exit debug mode, there are no more hangs. With Xcode 16 beta 4 and iOS 18 it looks completely different. In this case, the hangs and freezes are always present, whether in debug mode or not. And it's not just at the beginning, it's throughout the app. I'm aware that this is still a beta, but I still find this weird. And when I profile this I see that the main thread gets quite overloaded. Interestingly, my app doesn't have that many operations going on. So I guess something with the sync of SwiftData or my CloudKitManger where I fetch some records from the public database is not running fine. Lastly, I wanted to delete the iCloud app data. So I went to Settings and tried to delete it, but it didn't work. Is this normal? Does anyone have any idea what this could be? Or has anyone encountered this problem as well? I'd appreciate any support. My project: https://github.com/romanindermuehle/iLibrary

I don't see upload option for the App Store connect, can only export .ipa. Also having issues with Transporter, pasting error message here. Could not create a temporary .itmsp package for the app "Redacted.ipa". Unable to determine app platform for 'Undefined' software type. Is anyone else facing the same issue? I am using Xcode 15.

I am using SwiftData for storage and have a view that uses the @Query property wrapper with a sort descriptor that points to a relationship on a model. In a release build on device running iOS 18.3, the app crashes. This is the line that crashes: @Query(sort: \Item.info.endDate, order: .reverse) private var items: [Item] Item has a relationship to ItemInfo, which is where the endDate property is defined. This code works in debug and on a simulator. In the project referenced here: https://github.com/lepolt/swiftdata-crash, change the scheme build configuration to “Release” and run on device. The app will crash. Using Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a) iPhone 12, iOS 18.3 (22D60)

I've already submitted this as a bug report to Apple, but I am posting here so others can save themselves some troubleshooting. This is submitted as FB14337982 with an attached complete Xcode project to replicate. In iOS 17 we use a ModelActor to download data which is saved as an Event, and then save it to SwiftData with a relationship to a Location. In iOS 18 22A5307d we are seeing that this code no longer persists the relationship to the Location, but still saves the Event. If we put a breakpoint in that ModelActor we see that the object graph is correct within the ModelActor stack trace at the time we call modelContext.save(). However, after saving, the relationship is missing from the default.store SQLite file, and of course from the app UI. Here is a toy example showing how inserting an Employee into a Company using a ModelActor gives unexpected results in iOS 18 22A5307d but works as expected in iOS 17. It appears that no relationships data survives being saved in a ModelActor.ModelContext. Also note there seems to be a return of the old bug that saving this data in the ModelActor does not update the @Query in the UI in iOS 18 but does so in iOS 17.

We are experiencing a large number of crashes in our production environment, mainly occurring on iOS 16 systems and iPhone 8 and iPhone X devices. The crash log and stack trace are as follows: Error: Assertion failed: (false) function _onqueue_rdar53306264_addWaiter file TubeManager.cpp line 1042 Crashed: com.apple.CFNetwork.LoaderQ 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x7198 __pthread_kill + 8 1 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0xd5f8 pthread_kill + 208 2 libsystem_c.dylib 0x1c4b8 abort + 124 3 libsystem_c.dylib 0x70d8c err + 266 4 CFNetwork 0x1eb80 CFURLRequestSetMainDocumentURL + 6288 5 CFNetwork 0x44fd8 CFURLCacheRemoveAllCachedResponses + 22624 6 CFNetwork 0x39460 _CFHostIsDomainTopLevel + 968 7 CFNetwork 0x1f754 CFURLRequestSetMainDocumentURL + 9316 8 CFNetwork 0x233e0 CFURLRequestSetRequestPriority + 8792 9 CFNetwork 0x20d38 CFURLRequestCopyHTTPRequestBodyStream + 1612 10 CFNetwork 0x4f950 CFHTTPCookieStorageCopyCookies + 16276 11 CFNetwork 0x15878 CFURLRequestSetURL + 7600 12 libdispatch.dylib 0x637a8 _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 24 13 libdispatch.dylib 0x64780 _dispatch_client_callout + 16 14 libdispatch.dylib 0x3f6fc _dispatch_lane_serial_drain$VARIANT$armv81 + 600 15 libdispatch.dylib 0x401e4 _dispatch_lane_invoke$VARIANT$armv81 + 432 16 libdispatch.dylib 0x41304 _dispatch_workloop_invoke$VARIANT$armv81 + 1620 17 libdispatch.dylib 0x49f14 _dispatch_workloop_worker_thread + 608 18 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x1bd0 _pthread_wqthread + 284 19 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x1720 start_wqthread + 8 Have you encountered a similar issue before?

We are testing our existing live build, which was prepared with Xcode 16.2, on iOS 26 beta for experience assurance and found that the [[UIDevice currentDevice] systemVersion] API is returning iOS 19 instead of the expected version iOS 26. Has anyone else observed this issue?

This is a copy of a reply to this post. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/722222?page=1 I'm posting as new in the hope someone might have more up-to-date information, as I'm pulling out what little hair I have left. I'm using Storekit 2, testing in Xcode with a local Storekit config file. I have created a very minimal system to investigate this issue. I have a SwiftUI-based window using SubscriptionStoreView, and my app set up with the usual listener. I have four types of auto renewing subscription, configured in the local Storekit config file. With my app running, I subscribe to the lowest-level subscription I offer, via the SubscriptionStoreView. Notification of the inital purchase arrives, but subsequent auto-renewals do not trigger any action in my listener for Transaction.updates. They arrive as expected in the Transaction Manager. Radio silence in my listener. If I upgrade one subscription (via my SubscriptionStoreView) I see this reflected in the UI immediately, and also in the Transaction Manager, but the update that arrives in Transaction.updates refers to the old subscription, and has the isUpgraded flag set to false. Also, can anyone remind me what the grey warning triangle next to entries in the Transaction Manager means. I'm assuming it means unfinished, as that's what the sidebar indicates. Can the testing system really be this broken, or am I wildly off the mark? Unless I'm doing something fundamentally wrong this all seems extremely flakey, but happy to be proved wrong. I find this all rather unsettling if I can't test reliably, and am concerned that I my app may end up in this situation if I use storekit 2: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73530849/storekit-renewal-transactions-missing-in-transaction-all-or-transaction-updates
