I'm using the SwiftUI view SubscriptionStoreView (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/subscriptionstoreview/) with a subscription group that has 2 subscriptions. I set up a free trial offer in App Store Connect (https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-subscriptions/set-up-introductory-offers-for-auto-renewable-subscriptions/). The storekit file in Xcode is synced with the App Store. In debug build, this works and appears correctly, showing the free trial offer: But in release build, the free trial offer is not shown: The code is very simple: SubscriptionStoreView(productIDs: [ "[PRODUCT ID FOR ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION]", "[PRODUCT ID FOR BIMONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION]" ]) Does anyone have a solution? Thank you. (Xcode 16.3, macOS 15.5, iOS 18.5)

We have used the ApplePayRecurringRequest parameter required for Apple Pay subscriptions, but during testing the payment, the Apple Pay payment page shown to the user remains the same as the one-time payment page, without any subscription information. Could you please check if there is an issue with our parameters or if there is an issue with the merchantIdentifier being used? Here is the ApplePayRequestData that we are using. { "supportedMethods": "https://apple.com/apple-pay", "data": { "version": 3, "merchantIdentifier": "***", "merchantCapabilities": [ "supports3DS", "supportsCredit", "supportsDebit" ], "supportedNetworks": [ "visa", "masterCard" ], "countryCode": "US", "recurringPaymentRequest": { "paymentDescription": "A description of the recurring payment to display to the user in the payment sheet.", "regularBilling": { "label": "Recurring", "amount": "4.99", "paymentTiming": "recurring", "recurringPaymentStartDate": "2025-06-02T16:00:00.000Z" }, "trialBilling": { "label": "7 Day Trial", "amount": "0.00", "paymentTiming": "recurring", "recurringPaymentEndDate": "2025-06-02T16:00:00.000Z" }, "billingAgreement": "A localized billing agreement displayed to the user in the payment sheet prior to the payment authorization.", "managementURL": "https://applepaydemo.apple.com", "tokenNotificationURL": "https://applepaydemo.apple.com" }, "additionalLineItems": [ { "label": "7 Day Trial", "amount": "0.00", "paymentTiming": "recurring", "recurringPaymentEndDate": "2025-06-02T16:00:00.000Z" }, { "label": "Recurring", "amount": "4.99", "paymentTiming": "recurring", "recurringPaymentStartDate": "2025-06-02T16:00:00.000Z" } ] }

I have implemented a Live Activity that includes two buttons. Currently, both buttons utilize deep links to open the main application, where I then detect the URL to perform the corresponding action. My primary question is: Is it possible to update a button's title and/or color within a Live Activity without requiring the main application to open?

I’m creating an app with the Screen Time API and I would like to know how to make the app show a parental control editing view for parents and a view for child accounts that shows which apps are blocked. How can I do this?

Hi! I'm working on a solution (iOS 18) that uses Network Extensions PacketTunnelProvider and Content Filter. Currently I'm trying to integrate it with another extension – DNSProxyProvider. My goal is to process dns queries and use resolved ips and names for additional routing inside of the packet tunnel. I'm running into a major issue: whenever both VPN and DNS proxy are active simultaneously, the device completely loses internet connectivity — no traffic goes through, and DNS resolution seems to stop working entirely. I know about the mdm supervision requirement to use DNSProxyProvider and that's covered as I work with a managed device and install a DNS proxy profile, here's how its .mobileconfig file looks like: The DNS proxy itself works fine when working by itself (without VPN being turned on), as I implemented it that it successfully processes DNS packets flows while collecting information about domains etc, and everything works perfectly. Problems begin when using VPN at the same time. I'm aware that tunnel settings include dns related options that can affect this, but I haven't had much luck with tweaking them. Here's how they look right now for reference: let settings: NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings = NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings(tunnelRemoteAddress: "240.0.0.1") // let dnsSettings = NEDNSSettings(servers: "8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4".components(separatedBy: ",")) // dnsSettings.matchDomains = [""] // settings.dnsSettings = dnsSettings settings.proxySettings = nil /* ipv4 settings */ let ipv4Settings = NEIPv4Settings(addresses: ["240.0.0.2"], subnetMasks: ["255.255.255.0"]) ipv4Settings.includedRoutes = [NEIPv4Route.default()] settings.ipv4Settings = ipv4Settings /* MTU */ settings.mtu = 1500 return settings I've tried excluding some dns related ip routes and dns settings shenanigans but nothing. I haven't found any information that might suggest that using both of these extensions at the same time doesn't work, on the contrary, this page in the official documentation about the expected use of packet tunnel provider the expected use of packet tunnel provider, as it talks about the fact that you should not use it for interception of all of DNS traffic, as the use of DNSPRoxyProvider (or dns settings) are built for that, which in my mind, suggests that there should be no problem with using them both and just splitting the dns traffic handling to the proxy. Will be thankful for any help!

I wanted to know if Apple ever supported displaying a red dot on notificationswith no indication number.

I have a 4-input, 4-output hardware device and an 8-input, 8-output virtual device, which I combine into an aggregate device. I am using the SimplyCoreAudio library to get the channel count. The code is as follows: aggregationDevice!.channels(scope: .input) =>> 12 aggregationDevice!.channels(scope: .output) =>> 12 When the program's MicrophoneMode is set to standard, the channel count is correct. However, when I set the MicrophoneMode to voiceIsolation, the channel count is incorrect: aggregationDevice!.channels(scope: .input) =>> 4 aggregationDevice!.channels(scope: .output) =>> 12 Below is the code for creating the aggregate device： func createAggregateDevice(mainDevice: AudioDevice, secondDevice: AudioDevice?, named name: String, uid: String) -> AudioDevice? { guard let mainDeviceUID = mainDevice.uid else { return nil } var deviceList: [[String: Any]] = [ [ kAudioSubDeviceUIDKey: mainDeviceUID, kAudioSubDeviceDriftCompensationKey:1 ] ] // make sure same device isn't added twice if let secondDeviceUID = secondDevice?.uid, secondDeviceUID != mainDeviceUID { deviceList.append([ kAudioSubDeviceUIDKey: secondDeviceUID, kAudioSubDeviceDriftCompensationKey:1, kAudioSubDeviceInputChannelsKey:8 ]) } let desc: [String: Any] = [ kAudioAggregateDeviceNameKey: name, kAudioAggregateDeviceUIDKey: uid, kAudioAggregateDeviceSubDeviceListKey: deviceList, kAudioAggregateDeviceMainSubDeviceKey: mainDeviceUID, kAudioAggregateDeviceIsPrivateKey:false, ] var deviceID: AudioDeviceID = 0 let error = AudioHardwareCreateAggregateDevice(desc as CFDictionary, &deviceID) guard error == noErr else { return nil } return AudioDevice.lookup(by: deviceID) } I hope someone can tell me the reason Thank you！

I am unable to do the "Test Indoor Positioning" step in the Indoor Survey map. It says "Indoor Positioning Inactive". The support email for the indoor maps team is not functional.

We are currently developing a WebAPI service that uses APNs (HTTP/2) to send push notifications to iOS devices. (Using PushSharp's HTTP/2 support) The WebAPI service is running on IIS using .net framework 4.8 and c#. The connection to APNs is always maintained, and the connection is checked every 30 minutes using a dummy token Ping. KeepAlivePeriod = 30 minutes and KeepAliveRetryPeriod = 10 seconds have also been set. However, the following issues are occurring. Although the Ping sent immediately before was successful, a TimeoutException occurs in the notification request sent a few minutes later. There is no explicit disconnection notification from APNs, and the connection appears to be silently disconnected. Once a TimeoutException occurs, it occurs frequently afterwards. Below is an excerpt from the log. Apple Notification Failed for some unknown reason 1-1: One or more errors occurred. Apple Notification Failed for some unknown reason 1-2:System.TimeoutException: The operation timed out. In light of this issue, I would like to be advised on the following two points. Are there any official specifications regarding the lifecycle and expiration date of APNs HTTP/2 connections? Even if pings are sent periodically, is there a timeout or other setting that disables the connection on the APNs side? What are the conditions that would cause APNs to silently terminate a connection? For example, could this be due to inactivity, TLS restrictions, network maintenance, etc.? If you have any official documentation or technical guidelines to improve the reliability of this system, we would appreciate it if you could share them with us. Thank you in advance.

Hello Shortcuts community! I want to obtain a list of my notes, and well, update them, delete them if needed, and so on. These are simple actions that I can already do. For this, I saw that shortcuts was pretty simple, and I could get what I wanted and pipe it through the terminal. However, even though I'm a programmer, there's a lot that I'm missing since I cannot pipe anything to the terminal. I made a simple shortcut to give me some text, and I could obtain it via -shortcuts run "Example" | cat-, which well, gave me the output but with a %. aaa**%** Now, I guess this works, the important thing is for me to obtain something from shortcuts so that I can configure simple things like obtaining a note, a mail, run some javascript in the browser and so on while obtaining some output via the terminal. So, I configured something like this: While I do get a dictionary (only in the shortcuts app, not in the terminal) like: { "Title": "Some title" } And actually a list of them, I don't have them in an array that I would have for my command. And for some reason I've only been able to obtain either the name or the body. Now, I put them into a text with get text from Repeated results, but I don't think I have a valid Dictionary (JSON) array that I can use, since the terminal doesn't obtain nothing. So far I've tried: echo $(shortcuts run "Find Notes") echo $(shortcuts run "Find Notes" --output-type public.utf8-plain-text -o -) shortcuts run "Find Notes" | xargs I wonder what am I missing. I'm not creating the array of dictionaries like I'd like, nor outputting it. On the other hand, I have some AppleScripts that work, however, given that I cannot find munch information about the support status of AppleScript, I though to update to Shortcuts which is obtaining updates, and then I'm trying to do this simple example on shortcuts. Thanks for taking a look!

After a user has launched an App Clip Experience from Safari and is done with the activity that the App Clip provides – is there a way for the App Clip to programatically close itself so the user returns to Safari?

We’ve integrated in-app card provisioning into our application. All required configurations have been completed, including: Token Service Provider (TSP) setup Certificates uploaded to the Apple Developer portal While the card is successfully added to the Wallet app, our application is currently unable to retrieve or read the added passes.

I am trying use SKOverlay to promote an app, and I currently have the campaignToken field populated. However, even when installs happen from the SKOverlay, nothing shows up under that campaign token in App Store Connect. Is there something that I'm missing? I don't have the providerToken set.

We have an app that uses the pass-presentation-suppression entitlement and calls requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression to prevent the Wallet app from being presented when the device is displaying a barcode to a barcode/nfc reader. This works as expected for users of the standard Apple Wallet app. However, it does not prevent third-party wallet apps from being launched, which hides the barcode and prevents it from being scanned properly. What options do I have to prevent third-party wallet apps from launching or interfering while our app is actively presenting a barcode?

Clearly not percentage, but the units don't seem to be specified... The real problem we have right now is that, with macOS 15.5, our suite gets a huge amount of "energy impact" points, even though diving into it, it doesn't seem to do that. The most telling example I have of that is: I ran each of our daemons from Terminal, unplugged my laptop, closed the lid, and let it stay there for 8 or 9 hours. When I woke it back up, Activity Monitor claimed it had 2,000 units or so, but after opening all of the disclosure triangles, none of the processes (including the hand-started daemons) used anything close to that. Also, the battery had almost no drain on it. We're getting complaints about this, so I'm trying to figure out what, exactly is going on, but I never looked at the power stuff internally so I don't know how to read the diagnostic files.

Is there any way to use the screen time API on Mac?

The appTransactionID was recently introduced and is documented here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/apptransaction/apptransactionid From the documentation: "The App Store generates a single, globally unique appTransactionID for each Apple Account that downloads your app and for each family group member for apps that support Family Sharing." This seems like a really useful identifier, so I was wondering about some edge cases of when using it: What happens if a user logs out of his AppStore account and keeps using the app? Is it available when the app is installed from Xcode? is it possible to set it to some value using StoreKit testing? Thanks

Some background: We are developing an app that needs to scan NFC tags We are following this documentation for our app We (assume) we've gotten all the correct entitlements for our app Our app correctly shows the NFC scanning prompt We are using up-to-date iPhones to test We tested scanning using a different NFC app on the app store and were able to successfully scan the tag We're using NFC NDEF tags to test The problem: Nothing is being detected in the scan Nothing in the example application when we downloaded it down and loaded it onto a test device (reminder that the app from the app store was able to read our tag) When connected to the debugger, our delegate function is not firing (tested with breakpoints and print statements). The following is the signature of our delegate function: func readerSession(_ session: NFCNDEFReaderSession, didDetectNDEFs messages: [NFCNDEFMessage]) Is there something that we're missing to get the NFC scanning to work? Perhaps some kind of entitlement? If anyone has any ideas or paths to follow that'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I'm using ScreenCaptureKit on macOS 14+ to record a single window. I've noticed that the Presenter Overlay only appears when capturing the entire screen, but it does not appear when recording a specific window or a region. Is there a way to enable the Presenter Overlay while recording a single window or a defined region, similar to how it works with full-screen capture? Any guidance or clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Currently working on a dating app which needs voip for audio and video calls for ios. the voip notifications only comes to the app in active and inactive mode but doesnt wake the device in background or terminated mode. After debugging i noticed that com.apple.developer.voip entitlement wasnt included which i later added, trying to create a build i get the eas error that the entitlement wasnt added to the identifier capabilities. My issue now is that i can't seem to find the voip capability to check in the identifiers capabilities list for the bundle id.d
