Hello, I'm trying to develop a driver that uses PCIe through the mac's thunderbold ports. I requested a PCI entitlement, and it's just an empty array in the entitlements file by default. I was wondering if the vendor ID submitted with my entitlement request is supposed to populate this dictionary? I'm currently getting an entitlement check failed from kernel: DK: IOUserServer and was unsure if the PCI entitlement configuration was incorrect. Default entitlement: <key>com.apple.developer.driverkit.transport.pci</key> <array> </array> I'd be happy to provide more information as needed, but any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

We already have an apple pay integration with a psp.
We have a merchant id with an identity certificate, a processing certificate and merchant domains. We are working to integrate an other psp. This psp have one csr (processing certificate) by customer. All the payment will be processed on the same domain. We have understood that it is not possible to have different processing certificates for a merchant id. So we can not reused our existing merchant id.

 On the other hand, it seems that it is not possible to have different merchant ids on the same domain (because of the domain verification). But all payments are processed on the same domain.

 Do you think there is a solution ?
Is there a recommended workaround for this scenario?

We are building an AI-powered smart glasses companion app, similar to Meta Ray-Ban. We want to provide true hands-free calling support. Right now, whenever the app tries to dial a native cellular call, iOS shows a confirmation screen that requires the user to tap to start the call. If the user always has to confirm/tap on the phone screen, there is no real point in using smart glasses for making calls. How can we initiate a native outgoing call without any confirmation dialog or extra tap, exactly like Siri does it, or like the Meta Ray-Ban glasses do when the user says “Hey Meta, call [name]” Please guide us on the correct APIs, entitlements, or integration path to achieve this behavior. Thank you.

I have a messaging app that has been working successfully for several years. It still works for most users, but about one month ago one of my users started experiencing issues receiving notifications. From my investigation, the user's Notification Service Extension (NSE) has not been triggered since they started reporting the issue. I was able to access the user's phone and connected it to the console to check for any logs related to the NSE being triggered or a push notification being received, but there were no relevant logs. I have already verified that notifications are enabled for the app and that Do Not Disturb is not active. I also tried sending a test notification using the CloudKit Console. The notification was successfully delivered to other push notification tokens, but it did not work for this specific device’s token. I have also confirmed that the push token on the server matches the one on the device and that it is being used with the APNs production environment. The issue for this user started in iOS version 26.2 and are still ongoing in version 26.3.1 . Has anyone encountered a similar issue or have suggestions on how to further diagnose this?

Hi Writing an app in Swift on Xcode for my iPhone, all software is the latest version. If after making a minor change and re-building all the application data has disappeared, is there a way to see if it is still in the .modelContainer and just not showing up?

Hello, We are facing an issue with In-App Purchases (subscriptions) in two iOS apps built with React Native + react-native-iap. Issue Some users receive the error: E_CONNECTION_CLOSED during the purchase flow. However: The payment is successfully deducted via the App Store. The subscription appears in the user's Apple ID subscription list. But on our side: The app does not receive the StoreKit transaction callback No receipt or transaction ID is delivered Our backend cannot validate the purchase. Restore Purchases When affected users try Restore Purchases, StoreKit returns: No purchases found even though the subscription is visible in their Apple ID. Most affected users are from India, and many payments are made via UPI through App Store billing. Has anyone experienced a case where: the user is charged the subscription exists in Apple ID but StoreKit never returns the transaction or receipt? Any suggestions on how to recover these transactions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

In iOS 26.4 beta 4, the receipt returned by StoreKit payments via [[NSBundle mainBundle] appStoreReceiptURL] corresponds to the previous transaction; the content only becomes correct after restarting the app.

Hello I have implemented URL Filter using below sample link https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/filtering-traffic-by-url But currently I am facing weird issue when I try to add new urls in the input_urls.txt file. When I add url in the file and execute BloomFilterTool again, it creates new bloom plist as well as server url file so I replaces those manually restart the server as well as reinstall the app, but when I do so I am not able to get new urls blocked by browser until and unless I am not killing browser and relaunching it again. Does anybody facing same kind of issue ?

The Numbers.app reopens the last edited document when the app launches. If the document was moved to another folder in the Files.app while the app was not running, Numbers.app correctly tracks the file and reopens it. However, if the document was deleted in the Files.app and moved to Recently Deleted, Numbers.app does not reopen the document when the app launches. Question : How does Numbers.app detect that a document has been moved to Recently Deleted? Can third-party apps implement the same behavior? What I tested : If a file is moved while the app is not running, resolving a bookmark successfully tracks the moved file. Files that are deleted via the Files.app appear in Recently Deleted, but those files are actually moved to the following directories: iCloud Drive /var/mobile/Library/Mobile Documents/.Trash/ On My iPad /var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/{UUID}/File Provider Storage/.Trash/ App sandbox Documents directory ([On My iPad]/[Any App]) /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/{UUID}/Documents/.Trash/ When resolving the bookmark after deletion, the bookmark still resolves successfully and returns the new file URL inside the .Trash directory. I tried the following checks on the resolved URL: Checking file existence Checking read/write accessibility Inspecting bookmark resolution results Using APIs related to NSTrashDirectory See https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/813329#813329021 All of these behaved the same as when the file was moved to a normal directory. None of these checks allowed me to detect that the file had been deleted. Additional experiment: I suspected that the app might simply check whether the path contains ".Trash", so I performed the following experiment. If a .numbers file is moved to /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/{UUID}/Documents/.Trash/ then The file appears in Recently Deleted in Files.app Numbers.app does not reopen the document when the app launches However, if the same file is moved to Documents/Trash Documents/.Trashed Documents/Any Folder/.Trash then The file does not appear in Recently Deleted in Files Numbers does reopen the document when launched This suggests that Numbers.app is not simply checking whether the path contains ".Trash".

We’re seeing a change in Spotlight search behavior on iOS 17 and later: Observation: User‑visible keywords we index (e.g. via Core Spotlight / CSSearchableItemAttributeSet with keywords) only start appearing in Spotlight suggestions after the user has typed more than 3 characters. With 1–3 characters, our app’s content often doesn’t show up at all, even when it clearly matches. Before iOS 17: The same indexed content could appear with fewer characters (e.g. 1–3 characters). Environment: Reproduced on multiple devices running iOS 17.x / 18.x; behavior is consistent. We’d like to confirm: Is this a documented change in iOS 17 (e.g. minimum character threshold for third‑party Spotlight results)? If yes, where is it documented? If it’s not intentional, could this be treated as a bug and considered for a fix in a future release? We’re happy to provide a sample project or more detail if that would help. Thank you.

I am currently encountering an issue: when creating a new push certificate on the Apple Push Notification Certificates portal, I am required to generate a signature beforehand. Could you please explain the specific rules for this signature and how I should go about generating it? (I previously attempted to generate the certificate using the following command—openssl req -new -key mdm_push.key -out mdm_push.csr—but after uploading it, I received an error indicating an incorrect format.) !

When using the official Wi-Fi Aware demo app on iOS, with the iOS device configured as a NAN Subscriber, after successfully establishing a peer-to-peer connection with another device via Wi-Fi Aware (NAN), the network path object nwPath.availableInterfaces does not list the nan0 virtual network interface. The nan0 interface is the dedicated NAN (Neighbor Aware Networking) interface used for Wi-Fi Aware data communication. Its absence from availableInterfaces prevents the app from correctly identifying/using the NAN data path, breaking expected Wi-Fi Aware data transmission logic. log: iOS works as subscriber: [onPathUpdate] newPath.availableInterfaces: ["en0"] iOS works as publisher: [onPathUpdate] newPath.availableInterfaces: ["nan0"]

When iterating over a CMSensorDataList (which conforms to NSFastEnumeration) returned by CoreMotion's CMSensorRecorder's accelerometerData(from:to:) method, we sometimes see the crash below, with the frame above pointing to the close brace of the for loop iterating over the list. 0 CoreMotion 0x000000019fcf01dc CLInternalGetPinnedLocationAuthorizationState + 423316 1 CoreMotion 0x000000019fcf036b CLInternalGetPinnedLocationAuthorizationState + 423715 2 CoreMotion 0x000000019fcf02cb CLInternalGetPinnedLocationAuthorizationState + 423555 3 CoreMotion 0x000000019fbb8553 CLMotionActivity::isStatic() const + 1751823 It has been incredibly difficult to reproduce. We managed to reproduce a similar crash stack twice in a separate app that misused accelerometerData(from:to:) by providing a from and to Date that were more than 12 hours apart and iterating over the returned data, but it only occurred twice in many hours of testing. We hope to know if this could be a bug in Core Motion or it is definitely in our SDK, or if there is any way to fail gracefully in this scenario.

The expirationHandler on BGProcessingTask is a () -> Void closure. It provides no information about why it was called. In my testing, all of the following trigger the same handler: Time expiration Resource pressure (CPU, memory, battery) Not reporting progress User tapping "Stop" on the Live Activity There is no way for the app to tell these apart. Questions: Q1. Is there an official, complete list of all conditions that trigger expirationHandler? The documentation only mentions "time expires." Q2. What is the specific time limit before timeout? If it varies by device state, what are the conditions? Q3. A way to distinguish the reason is needed. "User stop" and "system expiration" require completely different handling. Currently this is impossible. Environment: iOS 26, physical device

Hi everyone, I’ve been encountering a recurring issue with the App Store Server API over the past 48 hours, specifically regarding the Get Transaction Info endpoint. Endpoint: GET /inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} Environment: Production Error Code: 4040010 (TransactionIdNotFound) The Issue When a user completes a purchase in our app, the client-side sends the transactionId to our backend for validation. However, when our server immediately calls the Get Transaction Info API using that ID, it frequently returns a 4040010 error, stating that the transaction ID cannot be found. Key Observations Eventual Consistency Delay: If we implement a retry logic and wait for 2 to 5 minutes, the exact same transactionId eventually becomes queryable and returns a valid signedTransactionInfo. Notifications vs. API: Interestingly, our server receives the App Store Server Notifications V2 (webhook) for these transactions almost instantly. The notifications contain the correct data, but the "Pull" API seems to lag behind the "Push" notification system. Recent Spikes: This behavior started occurring frequently within the last 2 days. Prior to this, the API was almost always near-instant. Questions Has anyone else noticed a spike in 4040010 errors or increased indexing latency in the Production environment recently? Is there a recommended "grace period" or backoff strategy when querying for a new transactionId? Apple's documentation doesn't explicitly mention an expected delay between a successful purchase and its availability via the Server API. Any insights or confirmation of similar issues would be greatly appreciated!

I accidentally deleted all CloudKit containers from the CloudKit Database console, and now I'm unable to create new containers. Both the CloudKit Console website and Xcode are not allowing me to create any new containers. Is there a way to restore the deleted containers? How can I create a new CloudKit container if the console website is not responding? Thank you.
