In WatchOS 26 you can now configure Apple Watch Widgets that use AppIntents instead of having a preconfigured option via AppIntentRecommendation. This is demonstrated in the Weather Details Widget. In that, the Intent has been set up such that the options have icons for each parameter. How can I update my Intent code to offer this? struct DataPointsWidgetIntent: AppIntent, WidgetConfigurationIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Data Points Widget Configuration" static var description = IntentDescription("Configure the individual data point display for Widgets.") static var isDiscoverable: Bool { return false} init() {} func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { print("DataPointsWidgetIntent perform") return .result() } @Parameter(title: "Show Individual Data Points", default: true) var showDataPoints: Bool? @Parameter(title: "Trend Timescale", default: .week) var timescale: TimescaleTypeAppEnum? static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Test Info") { \.$showDataPoints \.$timescale } } } enum TimescaleTypeAppEnum: String, AppEnum { case week case fortnight static var typeDisplayRepresentation = TypeDisplayRepresentation(name: "Trend Timescale") static var caseDisplayRepresentations: [Self: DisplayRepresentation] = [ .week: "Past Week", .fortnight: "Past Fortnight" ] }

I have installed the macOS 26 WWDC beta on a secondary volume, and set it up with two user accounts (both administrators). However, the options for switching users without fully logging out are nowhere to be found. The topic is still included in macOS Help and is shown when searching for “fast” in System Settings, however, the option is hidden/missing in the pref pane when selected. Filed FB18155517 (macOS 26 beta: No Fast User Switching?)

I was taking a look through SwiftData documentation for any changes coming from WWDC 2025 regarding my previous issues that was left unaddressed… KeyPaths are still not provided in Schema.Attribute as it was with Schema.Relationship. I also don’t see an initializer for HistoryTombstone, making it impossible to set up HistoryDelete protocol from what I can gather. I would appreciate a confirmation that we have been provided everything we need to complete the custom store, because I don’t know if everything I need has been provided or if some APIs have not been opened up. Thank you.

Hi! I am using the Automations in shortcuts in macOS 26 dev beta 1 and I have all my shortcuts working except this one. Why?(photo included). All the others are very similar except they do other things not make pdf. They work. Why does this one not. I tried changing the extension to .doc, or .docx instead of doc and docx I tried using if name ends in .docx I tried file filtering nothing. Any ideas? Thanks!

I am trying to write a unit test for an AppIntent and override the AppDependencyManager so I can inject dependencies for the purposes of testing. When I run a test, the app crashes with: AppIntents/AppDependencyManager.swift:120: Fatal error: AppDependency of type Int.Type was not initialized prior to access. Dependency values can only be accessed inside of the intent perform flow and within types conforming to _SupportsAppDependencies unless the value of the dependency is manually set prior to access. App Intent: import AppIntents struct TestAppIntent: AppIntent { @AppDependency var count: Int static var title: LocalizedStringResource { "Test App Intent "} func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { print("\(count)") return .result() } } extension TestAppIntent { init(dependencyManager: AppDependencyManager) { _count = AppDependency(manager: dependencyManager) } } Unit Test import Testing import AppIntents @testable import AppIntentTesting struct TestAppIntentTests { @Test("test") func test() async throws { let dependencyManager = AppDependencyManager() dependencyManager.add(dependency: 5) let appIntent = TestAppIntent(dependencyManager: dependencyManager) _ = try await appIntent.perform() } }

Before iOS16, we can use https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coretelephony/ctcarrier But after iOS this is deprecated and has no replacement. There are some discussions on it, eg. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/714876 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/770400 Now I asked AI, then it provided this solution, to check the serviceCurrentRadioAccessTechnology, so it this ok to check the SIM card status? var hasSIMCard = false let info = CTTelephonyNetworkInfo() if let rat = info.serviceCurrentRadioAccessTechnology, rat.values.contains(where: { !$0.isEmpty }) { hasSIMCard = true. // has RAT } BTW, I can see a lot of changes in the Core Telephony framework. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coretelephony 1.isSIMInserted https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coretelephony/ctsubscriber/issiminserted A Boolean property that indicates whether a SIM is present. iOS 18.0+ iPadOS 18.0+ This value property is true if the system finds a SIM matching the Info.plist carrier information (MCC / MNC / GID1 / GID2). Is this ok to check SIM insert status, this seems must preconfig some info in the info.plist. 2.iOS26 provide CTCellularPlanStatus https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coretelephony/ctcellularplanstatus Can I use this to check SIM status?

Hi guys, I try to create a content filter app by using network extension api. When it comes to a https/tls remote endpoint, the remoteEndpoint.hostname will always be "" instead of the actual hostname. How can I extract the actual hostname? private func filterTraffic(flow: NEFilterSocketFlow) -> NEFilterNewFlowVerdict { // Default action from settings will be used if no rules match logger.error("filter traffic...") guard let remoteEndpoint = flow.remoteEndpoint as? NWHostEndpoint else { logger.error("not a NWHostEndpoint)") return .allow() } logger.error("host name: \(remoteEndpoint.hostname)") if remoteEndpoint.hostname.hasSuffix("google.com"){ logger.error("google.com") return .drop() } return .allow() } code-block

I tried to test out the new Wi-Fi aware framework but encountered the issue in the title. My operation steps are as follows: 1) create a hello world project using Xcode 26.0 beta 2) add Wi-Fi Aware entitlement and service following the sample code in "Building peer-to-peer apps" 3) run my code on an iPhone 16 Pro and fail at the building stage. The error message is "Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: [my project name]" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.wifi-aware entitlement." I also tried to build the sample app but faced the same issue.

Hello Apple Developer Support and Community, We are currently working on a project that involves developing a custom Open Directory module (ODModule) for macOS. We searched extensively for official Apple documentation on how to develop such modules. Unfortunately, we have only found the following high-level introduction: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/releasenotes/NetworkingInternetWeb/RN_OpenDirectory/chapters/chapter-1.xhtml.html Aside from this brief overview, we have not been able to locate any detailed technical documentation that would help us understand the structure, lifecycle, APIs, or integration points of ODModules. Could you please advise: Is there any more detailed or internal documentation available regarding ODModule development? If so, is there a formal way to request access to it? We would greatly appreciate any guidance or direction you can provide. Thank you in advance! Best regards,

This is great for writing device drivers and somewhat fine tuning macOS for performance! And somewhat foresnical data (ie this matches that in this situation; ie kern.stack_size: 16384 vs allocating x, xy, xyz to this resource Good luck! and if you find any exploits the bug security line (and there is a bug bounty, that means they pay for exploits!) is product hyphen security at apple dot com Good luck !! unidef (also don't goto unidef.org its actually some kind of "troll" thing!) (and yeah I had a website =/)

How to use wifi-aware to connect third-party device with iPhone？ The document mention that "Your app can use the Wi-Fi Aware framework to connect with Wi-Fi Aware certified accessories", but How to be Wi-Fi Aware certified accessories? it there any detail?

While attempting to load a Network extension with OSSystemExtensionRequest I keep getting a "didFailWithError error 1". SIP is disabled. Does anyone know what code 1 is and how to fix it?

this error occurred during the StoreKit1 payment process. Could you please tell me the reason?

I’m trying to determine the most appropriate modern method for detecting whether a user originally downloaded a paid app (prior to transitioning the app to freemium/IAP-based access). Historically, this was done by checking for a valid App Store receipt and using SKReceiptRefreshRequest to ensure a fresh one was available. However, SKReceiptRefreshRequest and many related aspects of StoreKit receipt handling are now deprecated in iOS 17+. The current Apple documentation on receipt validation still refers to SKReceiptRefreshRequest, which makes things unclear. With so many deprecations and the push toward StoreKit 2, what’s the recommended path to: Check for a valid App Store receipt Confirm that the app was originally purchased (as a paid app, not via IAP) Persist this info to exempt the user from paywalling the app in the future I don’t need to validate purchases of IAPs — just to detect a legacy paid app download. Any guidance on best practice for this use case, preferably using non-deprecated APIs (StoreKit 2 or otherwise), would be appreciated.

I’m working on an iOS parental-control app that needs to block specific network traffic (e.g. certain domains or URLs). We’ve already obtained the Family Controls entitlement (since our app is explicitly a parental-control solution), but we do not use MDM to supervise devices. In testing, our NEFilterDataProvider extension only activates when the device is enrolled under a managed Family Controls profile. I am aware that we can use a PacketTunnel to achieve this but i was wondering if there is any simpler solution to this? Thanks for you time!

Just tried to re-run the code below (previously discussed https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/747815) and filed as bug: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/13678278 Still broken on macOS 26 first beta. Any chance anything can be done about this @eskimo? thanks, Martin import Foundation import Network let localPort: NWEndpoint.Port = 12345 var connections: [NWConnection] = [] func startFlow(remotePort: UInt16) { let params = NWParameters.udp params.allowLocalEndpointReuse = true params.requiredLocalEndpoint = NWEndpoint.hostPort(host: "0.0.0.0", port: localPort) let conn = NWConnection(host: "93.184.216.34", port: .init(rawValue: remotePort)!, using: params) conn.stateUpdateHandler = { newState in print("connection \(remotePort) did change state, new: \(newState)") } conn.start(queue: .main) connections.append(conn) } func main() { startFlow(remotePort: 23456) startFlow(remotePort: 23457) dispatchMain() } main()

Either processInfo.hostName should return the same info as UIDevice.name ("iPhone") or it should require the same entitlement that UIDevice.name does to return the actual result. If processInfo.hostName is intended to return the local Bonjour name, why does it need 'local network' permission? Why isn't the 'local network' permission documented for processInfo.hostName as this is hard to track down? Tested on iOS 18.5

Hello! We use Apple's "master account" scheme to register new clients trough API due to the fact that the number of merchant IDs in a developer account cannot exceed 100 records. It's been almost a year since we successfully used the master account ( ex. "merchant.com.xxx") and register clients via Postman. At the moment, the certificates for the master merchant ID start to expire on July 11 which will affect all customers which is under Master ID. We know that when updating certificates at the identifier level(our master id), new universal identity certificate files that we use to send to the merchants (merchant_id.pem, privkey.key) will be generated for authentication on the merchant side, as well as a new keystore. Since many of our clients are integrated with current files and keystores and have live traffic, we would like to know—is it possible to update certificates on the master account without changing the keystores and certificate identities? The impossibility of this will entail a large gap when switching to new certificates. Thanks in advance for your answer.

Fails with "to-many key not allowed here" // parent.children?.contains(where: { // $0.name == "Abbiejean" // }) != nil parent.children.flatMap { children in children.contains(where: { $0.name == "Abbijean" }) } == true How are we supposed to query on relationships? This is a huge problem. This is a major limitation blocking migration of CoreData to SwiftData. We can do this with NSPredicate: let moodAnalysis = NSPredicate(format: "ANY moodAnalysis.labels.title == %@", label.description) let stateOfMinds = NSPredicate(format: "SUBQUERY(stateOfMinds, $x, SUBQUERY($x.labels, $y, $y.title == %@).@count > 0).@count > 0", label.description) The accepted answer on stack overflow is: you can't Document says that optionals are allowed in predicates The SwiftData team has made a big show of saying that we can use idiomatic swift for our predicates. But we cannot even filter on relationships when the container is backed by CloudKit... That should be a HUGE warning in the documentation. "For those of you who are considering a costly refactor from CoreData to SwiftData, and are currently using CloudKit, all relationships are mandatory optional arrays, and you can't write predicates on them"

I am developing a FileProvider on Mac OS. I want to support Coauthoring Via Microsoft. As per Microsoft's documentation, the supportedServices function should be called via the OS when an Office file is opened. I have overridden this function in my fileprovider extension, but fail to see this function getting called. Has anyone else had any experience with coauthoring integration for File Provider and could give some advice? I am mostly working from the given documentation from Microsoft https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/cloud-storage-partner-program/plus/sync-client/metadata
