Hi All, I have created a Push Notification certificate from my Apple Developer account. After downloading the aps.cer file and adding it to my Keychain, the certificate was added successfully, but the private key is missing. Has anyone encountered a similar issue in the past? What could be causing this problem?

Hello, We are integrating Apple Wallet functionality using the Thales SDK. While we’ve successfully implemented In-App provisioning, we are encountering an issue with the Wallet Extension. I followed the documentation provided here to implement the Apple Wallet Extension: https://developer.dbp.thalescloud.io/docs/d1-developer-portal/ab10ea4059dx1-apple-wallet-extension I’ve implemented everything as per the guide, but I’m still unable to see my app logo in the Wallet Extension under "From Apps on Your iPhone." Could anyone help identify what might be missing or point me in the right direction to resolve this issue. Thanks!

Hi, I'm trying out the beta for music kit. In the current version of my app, my widget can show multiple albums. I preload the images of the album covers. In the beta's the url that is returned for the artwork starts with: "musickit://", which does not work with URLSession. How can I preload the data using the new url scheme? Current code:     func fetchArtworkFor (musicID: MusicItemID, url : URL?) async throws -> UIImage? {         guard let url = url else {             return nil         }         let urlRequest = URLRequest (url: url)         let data = try await URLSession.shared.data(for: urlRequest)         let image = UIImage(data: data.0)         return image     } // Some other function         for album in albumsToShow {             if let url = album.artwork?.url(width: context.family.imageHeight, height: context.family.imageHeight), let image = try? await fetchArtworkFor(musicID: album.id, url:url) {                 images[album] = image             }         }

I recently encountered an issue with Xcode 16.2 while attempting to integrate Settings.bundle into a new app. I added Settings.bundle as a new file (using the provided template), but when I ran the app (the default "Hello World" project), the expected three default controls (Name, Enabled, Slider) did not appear in the app's settings. To troubleshoot, I downgraded my system to macOS Sonoma 14.7.2 and Xcode 15.4 (on a 2023 Mac Mini, M2). After this downgrade, everything worked as expected. With a new project, adding Settings.bundle, and running the app, the settings entry for the app appeared, including the three default fields. This behavior suggests a potential issue or incompatibility with Xcode 16.2.

I have an iOS app that installs a Content Filter in order to block certain types of content at the network/socket level. The Family Controls framework stipulates that this can only be done successfully on a FamilyControlsMember.child account type (or on a supervised device). Our initial release has been really successful, but I would say that perhaps 75% of our users are .individual (probably over 18). Perhaps a topic for another forum post is to discuss how Apple's policy here doesn't seem to be meeting a real need here for non-minors, but I'll leave that alone for now. The problem we're facing is that as far as I can tell, the only way to determine if someone has the right account type is to initiate an authorization request using AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for:) and then inspect the error. I think it could really help the usability of the app if we could detect the account type and preemptively show a helpful message if the authorization could not succeed, and recommend some alternatives. But I've looked so far in vain for some way to do this. Is there any api in Family Controls (or elsewhere) that can query the system for this information? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I have: an Automator workflow saved as an application "workflow.app" an Apple Script saved as an application "script.app" a PDF file residing on Desktop "test.pdf" How do I launch workflow.app and pass test.pdf as the input for workflow from inside script.app?

I see that UIScribbleInteractionDelegate has scribbleInteraction(_:shouldBeginAt:) that you can always return false from in order to disable scribble. Is there any way to disable it in a website via javascript or dom attributes?

Hi, I purchased an account for the app's developer on 18/12/2024. But somehow, it appears that the processing takes 48 hours after the purchase. I received an email about the order. The Apple developer membership account shows, “To continue your enrolment, complete the purchase now.” When I click and fill it out, I wonder if it's the same command. However, I already filled out all the details of the payment twice on 21/11/2024, but I haven't received a response from the teams. Could you please help me with this matter? TQVM for your concerns.

Hi, I have a problem about "NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=65 & iOS18 & Xcode 16". I used 'CocoaAsyncSocket', '~> 7.6.5'. It works fine on iOS 15.2， But it's worried on iOS 18.3. Before this, broadcasts can be obtained normally。 I had get socket Multicast Networking. Please help me .

Touchscreen gestures in CarPlay aren't recognized in the app (delegate CPMapTemplateDelegate functions aren't called). Tried also in the Coastal Roads demo app to add test functions to check that pan functions are called - the same: func mapTemplateDidBeginPanGesture(_ mapTemplate: CPMapTemplate) { MemoryLogger.shared.appendEvent("Did begin pan gesture.") } func mapTemplate(_ mapTemplate: CPMapTemplate, panBeganWith direction: CPMapTemplate.PanDirection) { MemoryLogger.shared.appendEvent("Did begin pan gesture with direction \(direction.rawValue).") } Note: buttons (on carplay app) are working when pressing on them. Also, the desktop of carplay can be panned (by swipe gesture). Using Xcode 14.3, MacBook pro M1

I'm referring to the use of a "settings bundle" plist to cause the main Settings app to display your app's preferences which the app can then read via NSUserDefaults, as described here: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/UserDefaults/Preferences/Preferences.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000059i-CH6 I am wondering if this is actually deprecated, or something. I ask because, (1), it still has the high-quality old-style documentation, and (2) there doesn't seem to be a "required reason API" code for using it. Specifically, the NSUserDefaults required reason API codes are CA92.1 : "This reason does not permit reading information that was written by other apps or the system" 1C8F.1 : "This reason does not permit reading information that was written by apps, app extensions, or App Clips outside the same App Group or by the system." C56D.1: "...third-party SDK..." - nope. AC6B.1: "... com.apple.configuration.managed ..." - nope. None of the codes permit reading preferences that have been set by the Settings app using this method.

@APPLE TEAM WHAT WRONG WITH YOUR WORKER??? I STILL WAITING FOR REVIEW FOR A VERY IMPORTANT BUG IN MY APP...WHY IT TAKES SO LONG?

I've been testing the Live CallerID feature using the Apple-provided local server example - live-caller-id-lookup-example. I've been running a local server with tunneling using ngrok for the initial setup. Everything was working perfectly with the following setup: @main final class CallerID: LiveCallerIDLookupProtocol { var context: LiveCallerIDLookupExtensionContext { LiveCallerIDLookupExtensionContext( serviceURL: URL(string: "https://example-tunnel.ngrok.io")!, tokenIssuerURL: URL(string: "https://example-tunnel.ngrok.io")!, userTierToken: Data(base64Encoded: "BBBB")! ) } } However, after I updated the URLs to the production ones, I encountered an issue: @main struct CallerID: LiveCallerIDLookupProtocol { var context: LiveCallerIDLookupExtensionContext { LiveCallerIDLookupExtensionContext( serviceURL: URL(string: "https://example.net/")!, tokenIssuerURL: URL(string: "https://example/issue")!, userTierToken: Data(base64Encoded: "BBBB")! ) } } The problem is that during calls or when updating PIR parameters, the application still attempts to connect to the initial ngrok tunnel URLs instead of using the new production URLs. I can confirm this because the logs on my local server show incoming requests, indicating that the application is still referencing the old ngrok tunnel URLs. Steps I’ve taken to resolve the issue include: Deleting and reinstalling the application. Using reset(forExtensionWithIdentifier:) Unfortunately, these attempts have not been successful. I even extracted the binary of the app and extension to inspect the strings, confirming that the correct production URLs are present. The server was started with the following command: PIRService --hostname 127.0.0.1 service-config.json Could this be some sort of caching bug on the iOS side, or am I missing something?

This is more a general question of whether it is possible to share persistent/coredata from the main app to Screentime-related extensions such as DeviceActivityReportExtension. I've set my code up (e.g., App Groups, files to different targets, using nspersistentcontainer with app group url, etc.) in a way that it builds, and the extension seems to recognize my CoreData schema (able to query using fetchrequest). But the data returned is always null. So i'm wondering if it is even possible to READ app data from the extension. I understand it is not possible to write or pass data from the extension back to the app. I've also been able to read data that was saved in main app from UserDefaults in my extension.

I've built an app that supports live activities, but when trying to build and deploy I'm getting the error: Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.live-activity entitlement." Looking in Xcode - under signing and provisions, there is no "Live Activity" option to select. Looking in the developer portal, similarly under Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, there is no "Live Activity" option. I've added com.apple.developer.live-activity to my entitlements file for both my widget and my main app target, and added NSSupportsLiveActivities to my info.plist files. I'm building on Xcode Version 16.0 Any ideas on how to fix this? Super confused! Thanks in advance!

Is anybody having an issue with their camera and flash since they have updated. Since updating my flash wont work on the torch also will only take a picture on 0.5 and there is a green line across the bottom. Very disappointing with apple please fix this issue as I can see many other people have had this issue

A customer of mine reported that since updating to macOS 15 they aren't able to use my app anymore, which performs a deep scan of selected folders by recursively calling getattrlistbulk. The problem is that the app apparently keeps scanning forever, with the number of scanned files linearly increasing to infinity. This happens for some folders on a SMB volume. The customer confirmed that they can reproduce the issue with a small sample app that I attach below. At first, I created a sample app that only scans the contents of the selected folder without recursively scanning the subcontents, but the issue didn't happen anymore, so it seems to be related to recursively calling getattrlistbulk. The output of the sample app on the customer's Mac is similar to this: start scan /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents level 0 fileManagerCount 2847 continue scan /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents new items 8, sum 8, errno 34 /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents/A.doc /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents/B.doc ... continue scan /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents new items 7, sum 1903, errno 0 /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents/FKV.pdf /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents/KFW.doc /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents/A.doc /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents/B.doc ... which shows that counting the number of files in the root folder by using try FileManager.default.contentsOfDirectory(atPath: path).count returns 2847, while getattrlistbulk lists about 1903 files and then starts listing the files from the beginning, not even between repeated calls, but within a single call. What could this issue be caused by? (The website won't let me attach .swift files, so I include the source code of the sample app as a text attachment.) ViewController.swift

Hi I am developing a game app with Epic Unreal Engine. I am testing this as testFlight these days. My problem is “launch URL” what a function in Unreal Engine. This is a function that allows user to search the Internet with the entered URL. It worked well before. But not now. I don't know when it did start not working. It's like after the iPhone IOS update or the Xcode update. Mac sequoia 15.1.1 Xcode 16.2 ( Unreal Engine 5.4.4 ) IOS is 18.2. but It didn't work since the just previous version. Any advice can I get?

I am writing a SwiftData/SwiftUI app in which the user saves simple records, tagged with their current location. Core Location can take up to 10 seconds to retrieve the current location from its requestLocation() call. I the main app I have wrapped the CLLocationManager calls with async implementations. I kick off a Task when a new record is created, and write the location to my @Model on the main thread when it completes. A realistic use of the share extension doesn't give the task enough time to complete. I can use performExpiringActivity to complete background processing after the share extension closes but this needs to be a synchronous block. Is there some way of using performExpiringActivity when relying on a delegate callback from something like Core Location?

I have been trying to accept drops from Apple Mail which do supply data with type identifiers : com.apple.mail.email The problem is that even though the drop says it does contain items for com.apple.mail.email it does provide the items for com.apple.mail.email. Mail dropped from Microsoft Outlook however confirms to the protocols and returns the items for com.apple.mail.email Is this a known issue with Apple Mail and is there are reason for what seems to be a non-compliance to it own standards in Apple Mail?
