watchOS: AppIntents.IntentRecommendation description ignored when applying a .watchface
When we use AppIntents to configure WidgetKit complications, the description we provide in IntentRecommendation is ignored after applying a .watchface file that includes those intent configurations. In the Watch app, under Complications, the labels shown next to each slot do not match the actual complications on the face—they appear to be the first strings returned by recommendations() rather than the selected intent configuration. Steps to Reproduce Create an AppIntent used by a WidgetKit complication (e.g., .accessoryRectangular). Provide multiple intent recommendations with distinct descriptions: struct SampleIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Sample" static var description = IntentDescription("Sample data") @Parameter(title: "Mode") var mode: String static func recommendations() -> [IntentRecommendation<Self>] { [ .init(intent: .init(mode: "A"), description: "Complication A"), .init(intent: .init(mode: "B"), description: "Complication B"), .init(intent: .init(mode: "C"), description: "Complication C") ] } func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { .result() } } Add two of these complications to a Modular Duo face (or any face that supports multiple slots), each with different intent configurations (e.g., A in one slot, B in another). Export/share the face to a .watchface file and apply it on another device. Open the Watch app → the chosen face → Complications. Expected Each slot’s label in Complications reflects the specific intent configuration on the face (e.g., “Complication A”, “Complication B”), matching what the complication actually renders. Actual The labels under Complications do not match the visible complications. Instead, the strings shown look like the first N items from recommendations(), regardless of which configurations are used in each slot. Notes The complications themselves render correctly on-watch; the issue is the names/labels displayed in the Watch app UI after applying a .watchface. Filed Feedback: FB20915258

How to Set Up Deferred Deep Linking
I have universal links configured for my iOS app which work as expected when the app is installed. When the app is not installed the universal link will go to the browser as expected. What I want to do is redirect to the app store, allow the user to install the app, then redirect them to the initial universal link. Redirecting them to the app store isn't the hard part I can achieve that from the webpage, however I don't know how to save a reference to that initial link to redirect them once they instal the app. What I want the flow to be for a user who doesn't have the app is: visit a universal link (example.com/UUID) redirect to the app store and install the app open the app and redirect to example.com/UUID I've seen some ways people are doing this with the clipboard but I don't love that solution, I also don't want to use a 3rd party service if I can avoid it - how are the 3rd party services making this happen?

How to determine TX region when using Declared Age Range (SB2420 compliance)
Hello, I’m working on implementing SB2420 compliance using the Declared Age Range framework. While referring to the documentation at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/declaredagerange, I couldn’t find details on how the TX region (transaction region or territory) is determined when using Declared Age Range. Specifically, I’d like to confirm the following points: How does the system determine the TX region when the user’s declared age range is retrieved? Is it based on the App Store region, the device locale, or the user’s Apple ID country? If the app’s backend needs to verify or log the TX region, is there a way to obtain or infer it from the API response or receipt data? Is there any difference in TX region determination between Sandbox and Production environments? If anyone has experience implementing Declared Age Range (SB2420) and handling region determination, I’d appreciate your insights or best practices. Thank you.

Private database: failed to access iCloud data please signin again.
When I logged into my cloudkit console to inspect the database for some debugging work I couldn't access the private database. It keeps saying "failed to access iCloud data, please signi n again". No matter how many times I sign in again, whether with password or passwordless key it keeps saying the same thing. It says that message when I click on Public database, and private and shared databases are below it. I only noticed this a couple of days ago. It's done this in the past, but I eventually got back into the database but I don't know what changed to make it work.

Transactions Finish does not work on iOS 26 beta3
On iOS 26 beta 3, after a user purchases an item, initiating a second order for the same product fails to process payment. The system returns the same transaction ID and displays an interface message stating: "You've already purchased this In-App Purchase. It will be restored for free."​​ ​​I’ve tested this – not only did the legacy StoreKit finishTransaction method fail to work, but StoreKit2 finish method also malfunctioned.​​ ​​When will Apple fix this issue? If unresolved, it will prevent a large number of users from making purchases normally, leading to disastrous consequences.​

Crashes because main actor isolated closures are called on a background thread with `DispatchGroup.notify`, but no compiler warnings
Hello! We are in the progress of migrating a large Swift 5.10 legacy code base over to use Swift 6.0 with Strict Concurrency checking. We have already stumbled across a few weird edge cases where the "guaranteed" @MainActor isolation is violated (such as with @objc #selector methods used with NotificationCenter). However, we recently found a new scenario where our app crashes accessing main actor isolated state on a background thread, and it was surprising that the compiler couldn't warn us. Minimal reproducible example: class ViewController: UIViewController { var isolatedStateString = "Some main actor isolated state" override func viewDidLoad() { exampleMethod() } /// Note: A `@MainActor` isolated method in a `@MainActor` isolated class. func exampleMethod() { testAsyncMethod() { [weak self] in // !!! Crash !!! MainActor.assertIsolated() // This callback inherits @MainActor from the class definition, but it is called on a background thread. // It is an error to mutate main actor isolated state off the main thread... self?.isolatedStateString = "Let me mutate my isolated state" } } func testAsyncMethod(completionHandler: (@escaping () -> Void)) { let group = DispatchGroup() let queue = DispatchQueue.global() // The compiler is totally fine with calling this on a background thread. group.notify(queue: queue) { completionHandler() } // The below code at least gives us a compiler warning to add `@Sendable` to our closure argument, which is helpful. // DispatchQueue.global().async { // completionHandler() // } } } The problem: In the above code, the completionHandler implementation inherits main actor isolation from the UIViewController class. However, when we call exampleMethod(), we crash because the completionHandler is called on a background thread via the DispatchGroup.notify(queue:). If were to instead use DispatchQueue.global().async (snippet at the bottom of the sample), the compiler helpfully warns us that completionHandler must be Sendable. Unfortunately, DispatchGroup's notify gives us no such compiler warnings. Thus, we crash at runtime. So my questions are: Why can't the compiler warn us about a potential problem with DispatchGroup().notify(queue:) like it can with DispatchQueue.global().async? How can we address this problem in a holistic way in our app, as it's a very simple mistake to make (with very bad consequences) while we migrate off GCD? I'm sure the broader answer here is "don't mix GCD and Concurrency", but unfortunately that's a little unavoidable as we migrate our large legacy code base! 🙂

CloudKit: how to handle CKError partialFailure when using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer?
I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer with Core Data and I receive errors because my iCloud space is full. The errors printed are the following: <CKError 0x280df8e40: "Quota Exceeded" (25/2035); server message = "Quota exceeded"; op = 61846C533467A5DF; uuid = 6A144513-033F-42C2-9E27-693548EF2150; Retry after 342.0 seconds>. I want to inform the user about this issue, but I can't find a way to access the details of the error. I'm listening to NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.eventChangedNotification, I receive a error of type .partialFailure. But when I want to access the underlying errors, the partialErrorsByItemID property on the error is nil. How can I access this Quota Exceeded error? import Foundation import CloudKit import Combine import CoreData class SyncMonitor { fileprivate var subscriptions = Set<AnyCancellable>() init() { NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.eventChangedNotification) .sink { notification in if let cloudEvent = notification.userInfo?[NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.eventNotificationUserInfoKey] as? NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.Event { guard let ckerror = cloudEvent.error as? CKError else { return } print("Error: \(ckerror.localizedDescription)") if ckerror.code == .partialFailure { guard let errors = ckerror.partialErrorsByItemID else { return } for (_, error) in errors { if let currentError = error as? CKError { print(currentError.localizedDescription) } } } } } // end of sink .store(in: &subscriptions) } }

Push tokens from push-to-start Live Activities require user permissions?
Just wanted to clarify some expected behaviors here. It seems that there are two distinct behaviors for Live Activity flows for freshly installed apps. When you start a Live Activity for the first time and the user hasn't yet clicked on Allow/Don't Allow in the activity interface, there are two different sequences: Starting a Live Activity locally Request a Live Activity locally via Swift Live Activity starts .pushTokenUpdates is immediately triggered, even if the Allow/Don't Allow buttons appear under the Activity UI Starting a Live Activity via push-to-start Send a push-to-start notification to launch a Live Activity Live Activity starts .pushTokenUpdates is not triggered, and .pushToken returns nil. If a user clicks on Allow in the Activity UI, only then is .pushTokenUpdates triggered.

ApplicationTokens changing
We persist ApplicationTokens in a storage container that ShieldConfigurationExtension has access to. In rare, cases all the ApplicationTokens for a user seem to change. We know this because the Application parameter passed into configuration(shielding application: Application) -> ShieldConfiguration function has a Token that does not match (using == ) any of the ones we are persisting in storage. Interestingly, the persisted ones still work, so I don't believe storage has gotten corrupted or anything. We can use them to add or remove shields, we can use them to display labels of the apps they represent, etc. But they don’t match what’s passed into the ShieldConfiguration extension. If the user goes into the FamilyPicker at this point and selects an app of a token that we are already persisting, the FamilyPickerSelection will have a token matching the new one that is passed into ShieldConfigurationExtension, not the one we persisted when they last selected that app. This leads me to believe the tokens are updated/rotated in some cases. When and why does this happen, and how can we handle it gracefully?

Push notification MacOS "discarded as device was offline"
Hi everyone, I am having issues with all my MacOS devices (3 so far) and push notifications. My app is in development and when i send a Test APN (From the Push Notification Console) to any of my MacOS devices (using the device token), the log is "discarded as device was offline". Fun fact, if i run the command : sudo kill apsd I receive the previously "discarded" Push notification immediately. Is it a known bug or something is wrong in my configuration ? Note : my debugProfile.entitlements is fine and the value is set to "development", i have already reloaded my certificate by cleaning the project and rebuilding (according to ChatGPT) but nothing works... I am using Xcode 26.0.1 and MacOS 26.0.1 on my 3 different MacOS devices all having this issue. Thanks in advance, Tom

SwiftData with CloudKit failing to migrate schema
My app has been in the App Store a few months. In that time I've added a few updates to my SwiftData schema using a MigrationPlan, and things were seemingly going ok. But then I decided to add CloudKit syncing. I needed to modify my models to be compatible. So, I added another migration stage for it, changed the properties as needed (making things optional or adding default values, etc.). In my tests, everything seemed to work smoothly updating from the previous version to the new version with CloudKit. So I released it to my users. But, that's when I started to see the crashes and error reports come in. I think I've narrowed it down to when users update from older versions of the app. I was finally able to reproduce this on my end, and Core Data is throwing an error when loading the ModelContainer saying "CloudKit integration requires that all attributes be optional, or have a default value set." Even though I did this in the latest schema. It’s like it’s trying to load CloudKit before performing the schema migration, and since it can’t, it just fails and won’t load anything. I’m kinda at a loss how to recover from this for these users other than tell them to delete their app and restart, but obviously they’ll lose their data that way. The only other idea I have is to setup some older builds on TestFlight and direct them to update to those first, then update to the newest production version and hope that solves it. Any other ideas? And what can I do to prevent this for future users who maybe reinstall the app from an older version too? There's nothing special about my code for loading the ModelContainer. Just a basic: let container = try ModelContainer( for: Foo.self, Bar.self, migrationPlan: SchemaMigration.self, configurations: ModelConfiguration(cloudKitDatabase: .automatic) )

Bluetooth connection unexpectedly timing out with macOS Sequoia
After the macOS Sequoia update, my app seems to have an issue with Bluetooth communication between macOS and iOS that uses CoreBluetooth for Central-Peripheral communication. Setup: The iPhone (in my case: iPhone 14 Pro with iOS 18.0 (22A3354)) acts as the Central, and the Mac (in my case: 14" MacBook Pro 2023 with macOS 15.0 (24A335)) as the Peripheral. I’ve implemented a mechanism where the Central (iPhone) sends a message to the Peripheral (Mac) every 15 seconds to keep the connection alive (Because it needs to wait for notify characteristic updates). I never noticed this kind of issue before, but with macOS Sequoia I get it permanently. Issue: The connection drops unexpectedly after a period of time (sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes a few minutes) with CBErrorDomain - code 6: The connection has timed out unexpectedly. Sample Code: Peripheral (Mac): ContentView (Peripheral).txt ContentViewModel (Peripheral).txt Central (iPhone): ContentView (Central).txt ContentViewModel (Central).txt Reproduce: I attached sample code including the Central-Sample (for iPhone) and Peripheral-Sample (for Mac). Just run the Peripheral-Sample (after granting Bluetooth permissions). Then run the Central-Sample and select the Mac device in the list After selecting it should connect, discover the service & characteristic and should start writing messages to it. After some time the func centralManager(_ central: CBCentralManager, didDisconnectPeripheral peripheral: CBPeripheral, error: (any Error)?) {should get called with timed out unexpectedly error. Could anyone please look into this issue and advise on whether there’s a known bug or any workaround? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, as this impacts the stability of Bluetooth communication between the devices. Thanks in advance. Logs: I also ran the console.app during this issue which got these errors (if this is helpful): console_logs.txt

RCS failing on iOS 18 when VPN active
When a VPN is active, RCS messaging does not work on iOS 18. I work on an iOS VPN app, and we were very appreciative of the excludeCellularServices network flag that was released during the iOS 16 cycle. It's a great solution to ensure the VPN doesn't interfere with cellular network features from the cellular provider. Separately - As a user, I'm excited that iOS 18 includes RCS messaging. Unfortunately, RCS messaging is not working when our VPN is active (when checking on the iOS 18 release candidate). My guess is that RCS is not excluded from the VPN tunnel, even when excludeCellularServices is true. It seems like RCS should be added in this situation, as it is a cell provider service. Can RCS be added as a service that is excluded from the VPN tunnel when excludeCellularServices is true? (I've also sent this via feedback assistant, as 15094270.)

Multiple network extensions (system extension) activation under the same app bundle
We have an application, which activates two network extensions (Content Filter, Transparent Proxy) during app launch which is written in Swift. When we are activating multiple network extensions under the same app bundle, in Ventura and Sonoma, under Privacy and Security it shows "Details" button. On click of it we see below issues: - It shows the app bundle name instead of respective network extension bundle name. - On click of OK button, it adds only one extension under "Network -> Filters -> Filters & VPN" and only after machine restart, we can see both the extensions under this screen. These issues are not seen in Sequoia. In Sequoia, it shows the extension names under the app name. There are separate controls to enable/add each of the extension. Attached the screenshots of Sonoma and Sequoia for reference Already submitted the feedback ticket. (FB16331169)

Wi-Fi aware in the app's background execution mode
I couldn't find any mention in the Wi-Fi Aware documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/WiFiAware about the possibilities of the Wi-Fi Aware connection during the app working in the background execution mode (background state). Does the framework keep the connection alive when the app goes to the background state? Is there anything similar concept to CoreBluetooth state restoration available in the case of the Wi-Fi Aware framework?

WeatherKit JWT fails (WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener Code 2) despite entitlement
I’m hitting a WeatherKit JWT failure (WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener Code = 2) at runtime even though the entitlement is present in both the signed binary and the embedded provisioning profile. Environment Team ID 5SZLQLQ9MD Bundle ID ParkProfessor.ParkProfessorDisneyland Device / OS iPhone 15 Pro · iOS 17.4.1 (hardware, not simulator) Xcode 15.3 (15E204a) Console output Failed to generate jwt token for: com.apple.weatherkit.authservice Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" Entitlement & profile snippets codesign -d --entitlements :- WeatherKitTest.app | grep -A2 weatherkit com.apple.developer.weatherkit security cms -D -i embedded.mobileprovision | grep -A2 weatherkit com.apple.developer.weatherkit What I’ve already tried Regenerated a new development certificate and a new iOS App Development provisioning profile with WeatherKit enabled. Confirmed the capability is selected in Certificates ▸ Identifiers ▸ Profiles and added in Xcode target settings. WeatherKit Terms of Service accepted in the portal. Deleted the app, removed any device management profiles, rebooted the phone, clean-built & ran again. Reproduced the issue in a minimal SwiftUI app that calls: WeatherService.shared.weather(for: CLLocation(latitude: 33.8121, longitude: -117.9190), including: .current) – same Code 2 error. Request It looks like the App ID may need a backend entitlement sync. Could someone from the WeatherKit team please check the status for Team 5SZLQLQ9MD, Bundle ID ParkProfessor.ParkProfessorDisneyland and enable WeatherKit token generation? Thanks!

Transaction.currentEntitlements returning empty response
Hi there 👋🏻 We are facing an issue that started on 24 June 2025 where some users that have an active subscription with an offer are not being able to use/restore their subscription since Transaction.currentEntitlements is empty. We have tried to call the server with this endpoint https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get-transaction-history and it's returning the correct transactions correctly. Any idea what is happening?
