Hello, When attempting to create a CKShare on a personal device linked to a Family iCloud plan (non-primary account holder), the operation fails with a quotaExceeded error. This occurs with the Family plan having 1.5TB available storage space. This is also causing a data loss for the object(s) that were attempted to be shared. Details Account Type: Family iCloud Plan (2TB total storage) Current Family Usage: 399GB iCloud Account Usage: 70 GB Steps to Reproduce: Have an iCloud account with storage over the 5GB free space limit. Be on a part of a iCloud Family Plan as the non-primary account holder. Have storage space available in the Family Plan Attempt to start a CloudKit Share/Collaboration on the device. Observe that the CKShare creation fails with a quotaExceeded error. Expected Behavior: The CKShare should be successfully created, reflecting the total available storage of the Family plan. Observed Behavior: The CKShare fails to be created with quotaExceeded. Additional Testing On a test device using an iCloud account with no stored data, the CKShare was created successfully and shared without issue. Suspected Cause The CKShare functionality is verifying the personal storage allocation of the iCloud account and failing without checking total available storage provided by the Family plan.

I really don't understand what kind of cyber crap CloudKit is! In macOS, CloudKit basically doesn’t work properly

Hi, I'm not too good with terminal stuff, but when I looked at activity monitor, my corespotlightd was using too much of my cpu. I decided to look up solutions on google and stumbled upon this: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/675482. I tried some of the commands, and I closed the terminal while sudo was still running because I was getting impatient. Somehow, before I even realized it, I was logged out of my Apple ID and my desktop and downloads files were completely gone. For some reason, my applications are still the same, which makes me wonder if some of the files or folders I had before can still be recoverable. I checked time machine, and I wasn't able to recover anything. How cooked am I? I've lost all of my university work and some other pictures and stuff that I thought would never be damaged if I had it locally. Would appreciate any type of help. Thanks.

Hello, I am encountering an issue with user-generated files stored in the Documents directory on an iPhone 11 running iOS 18.2. The problem occurs as follows: 1.The app generates and saves files in the Documents directory using FileManager. 2.These files are successfully saved and remain accessible while the app is running. 3.After restarting the app, the files appear to have been deleted from the Documents directory. I have confirmed that: 1.The files are being saved to the correct location (Documents directory) and can be accessed during the current app session. 2.The app is not explicitly deleting these files during shutdown or restart. 3.This behavior is consistent across multiple app restarts.

Is it ok to have latency about 4 sec? The amount of downloaded data is less than 1 MB. Maybe I need to setup an index for every field requested?

When attempting to deploy schema changes in the iCloudKit Database by clicking the Deploy Schema Changes button, a Confirm Deployment dialog appears, showing an error: “Internal error”.

Recently, after updating the Developer app to the latest version, my iPad has been unable to open this app as it crashes immediately upon launch. Prior to the update, the app functioned normally. My device is an 11-inch iPad Pro from 2021, running iPadOS 17.3. I have tried troubleshooting steps such as reinstalling the app and restarting the device, but these actions have not resolved the issue. However, I need to use this specific version of the system, iPadOS 17.3, for software testing purposes and cannot upgrade the system. Other apps on my device work normally without any issues. Is there a solution to this problem? I have attempted to contact the developer support team in China, but they were also unable to provide a resolution. This issue is reproducible 100% of the time on my iPad.

on MacOS I am using raw socket and PF_Route options to monitor the routing table changes but looks like that is not supported in iOS what are the other ways to achieve real time monitoring in iOS ?

In the mobile application we are developing we need to use the "SMS and MMS Message Filtering" functionality to analyze SMS messages received from unknown senders. The questions that arise about the use of this functionality are: Does this functionality allow these messages to be sent to solutions deployed in Microsoft Azure?. If the previous case is confirmed, could we use Rest APIs that we already have deployed in Azure?. If it were not possible to configure access to an existing Rest API, what would be the definition of the API to be implemented in the cloud for this service?. And finally, how would the configuration of access permissions to this API deployed in the cloud be?.

In the sandbox environment, when I quickly and repeatedly purchase an item, Transaction.id will be repeated.

We are using PacketTunnel as system extension to establish vpn tunnel. The flow is like: Create a PacketTunnelProvide to establish vpn When tunnel gets connected add excludedRoutes by calling setTunnelNetworkSettings(). Result: The routing table is not getting updated with new excludeRoutes entries. As per setTunnelNetworkSettings() documentation: "This function is called by tunnel provider implementations to set the network settings of the tunnel, including IP routes, DNS servers, and virtual interface addresses depending on the tunnel type. Subclasses should not override this method. This method can be called multiple times during the lifetime of a particular tunnel. It is not necessary to call this function with nil to clear out the existing settings before calling this function with a non-nil configuration." So we believe setTunnelNetworkSettings() should be able to set new excludeRoutes. We could see we are passing correct entries to setTunnelNetworkSettings(): { tunnelRemoteAddress = 10.192.229.240 DNSSettings = { protocol = cleartext server = ( 10.192.230.211, 192.168.180.15, ) matchDomains = ( , ) matchDomainsNoSearch = NO } IPv4Settings = { configMethod = manual addresses = ( 100.100.100.17, ) subnetMasks = ( 255.255.255.255, ) includedRoutes = ( { destinationAddress = 1.1.1.1 destinationSubnetMask = 255.255.255.255 gatewayAddress = 100.100.100.17 }, { destinationAddress = 2.2.2.0 destinationSubnetMask = 255.255.255.255 gatewayAddress = 100.100.100.17 }, { destinationAddress = 11.11.11.0 destinationSubnetMask = 255.255.255.0 gatewayAddress = 100.100.100.17 }, ) excludedRoutes = ( { destinationAddress = 170.114.52.2 destinationSubnetMask = 255.255.255.255 }, ) overridePrimary = NO } MTU = 1298 } The problem is present on macOS Sequoia 15.2. Is it a known issue? Did anyone else faced this issue?

Hi everyone, We came an issue that, In some scenarios in our app we cannot fetch any resources from device (Photo and Contact). One case we catched is putting app in background and spending time in other commonly used apps and coming back to our app cause this issue but there is a small chance that get this issue during using the application. In cell, we are trying to fetch the image like this imageFetchTask = Task { let image = await CompositionRoot.shared.photosManager.image(requestType: .imageCollections, forId: photoAsset.photoId) self.photoImageView.image(image) } and inner layers of this code we get the PHAsset and request image PHAsset.firstAsset(for: id) let manager = PHImageManager.default() manager.requestImage(for: asset, targetSize: request.targetSize, contentMode: .aspectFill, options: request.options) { (image, info) in continuation.resume(returning: image) } We figured out that issue not happening only in Photos also Contacts and any web request. So any help according to this situation is well appreciated. Thanks

I have an app written in swift. It has multiple pods dependencies installed. When the app is generated with Xcode 15.4 the size of app is ~148Mb and when the same app is generated with Xcode 16.2 the size is ~246MB When I extracted and analysed the app, it was observed that one of the framework installed via pods Dependencies("DocumentReaderCore") was consuming more size(42.9 MB vs 215 MB) the DocumentReaderCore present in the Payload/.app/Frameworks/DocumentReaderCore.framework/DocumentReaderCore was of type linux executable when generated using Xcode 15.4 vs the other was od document type and size was 215MB.

You are probably aware of the upcoming root certificate change for any servers you might have that you use to send push notifications by connection to APNs. If you are not, here is the announcement. We have been getting some questions about this, and understand not everyone is familiar with their server setup. First, we would like to clarify that this is only a change to your server's certificate trust store. You do not need to update anything else, like your APNs push certificates, the build certificates and provisioning profiles for your team/app, and so on. All you need to do is to install the mentioned new root certificate to your push server's trust store. If you are using a 3rd party push provider, it is them who will need to handle their servers. But you may want to double check with them nevertheless. If you are managing your own push servers that connect to APNs directly, then it is your responsibility to download and install the root certificate mentioned in the above link on your server(s). Unfortunately we cannot provide specific instructions on how to install this root certificate on every kind of server out there. Each server operating system/push server software will have different ways these root certificates are installed, which is out of scope of our support abilities. If you are not sure how to do this, I would recommend you seek help for this from your server-side developers or server admins. Or, if you don't have access to such resources, you can ask the support channels for your system the question: How do I install a root certificate? We have setup a test server at 17.188.143.34:443 that you can use to try and send pushes to test whether your new root certificate is correctly installed. An alternative way to test this would be, from a terminal prompt: openssl s_client -connect 17.188.143.34:443 -servername api.sandbox.push.apple.com -verifyCAfile USERTrustRSACertificationAuthority.crt -showcerts Change the parameter to the -verifyCAfile argument to point to your trust store, and it should allow you to validate Sample return results would be: Connecting to 17.188.143.34 CONNECTED(00000003) depth=2 C=US, ST=New Jersey, L=Jersey City, O=The USERTRUST Network, CN=USERTrust RSA Certification Authority verify return:1 depth=1 CN=Apple Public Server RSA CA 11 - G1, O=Apple Inc., ST=California, C=US verify return:1 depth=0 C=US, ST=California, O=Apple Inc., CN=api.sandbox.push.apple.com verify return:1 Argun Tekant /  DTS Engineer / Core Technologies

I am trying to get universal links to work in our app Firefox iOS The Problem: I am not able to get universal links to work for our release app or beta app scheme locally or with a TestFlight build. I am able to get it working on our development scheme with a locally hosted app site association file. I also was able to get it working using our development scheme but setting the bundle id to the release app bundle id. I also built a demo app with the release app id and the release app development certificate. It succeeded there as well. Implementation Steps: Added associated domains entitlement to the production and beta schemes for our main app target (No associated domains entitlements or capabilities added for any extensions) Confirmed that the bundle ids associated with these schemes have the associated domains capability Added applinks:blog.mozilla.org to associated domains list Confirmed in code that user activities are being handled via SceneDelegate.swift Steps to Debug: I have gone through and validated every step in the provided Universal Link Debugging. All were successful: Associated Domains Development -> Diagnostics: Opens Installed App Validate AASA host and applinks match curl -v https://blog.mozilla.org/.well-known/apple-app-site-association returns the expected json file swcutil dl correctly downloads the AASA blob swcutil verify succeeds I have inspected the IPA of our beta build and confirmed the App ID and the associated domains is an entitlement. I have looked at the console logs filtering by swcd. I am not seeing any errors and I see the download for the AASA file kick off: Beginning data task AASA-4BABF039-3C69-4E36-AA4E-ECCDF3D14878 { domain: bl….mo….org, bytes: 0, route: cdn } There is only one error that appears in the console but our app is not enterprise-managed so I assume this is normal. Error getting enterprise-managed associated domains data. If this device is not enterprise-managed, this is normal: Error Domain=SWCErrorDomain Code=1701 "Failed to get associated domain data from ManagedConfiguration framework." UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=Failed to get associated domain data from ManagedConfiguration framework., Line=298, Function=<private>} I have run Sysdiagnos and identified for our App ID: Site/Fmwk Approval: approved I am at a loss as to what is preventing universal links from working even though all validation steps pass.

We use network extension for the VPN connection implementation. In the network extension, we need to call a third-party library to do some check. Before the macOS is upgraded to 15.2, everything is fine. It just stop working after macOS is upgraded to 15.2. I did some debugging, and looks like the api provided by the dylibs is blocked. One system log is shown suspiciously Unable to create bundle at URL (<private>): unable to create file system representation of URL (13) The background is that we did embed the third-party dylibs in the app resources folder and the app extension tries to dlopen the dylibs and call the functions. And actually we do not know how the dylibs are implemented. Since it was working with older macOS, we would like to see if there is any related change on os itself. I have tried to change the places of dylibs, moving them from container app bundle resource folder to app extension resources folder, even the app group folder. Unfortunately it does not work either. Do you guys have any opinions?
