Team-scoped keys introduce the ability to restrict your token authentication keys to either development or production environments. Topic-specific keys in addition to environment isolation allow you to associate each key with a specific Bundle ID streamlining key management. For detailed instructions on accessing these features, read our updated documentation on establishing a token-based connection to APNs.

We use the Transaction Info API for Apple Pay verification, but due to a surge in player payment requests during major game version updates, we've encountered a large backlog of orders and are unable to process all verifications in time. We're wondering if anyone knows the process for requesting an increase in the QPS limit? QAQ

I remember when I called Apple Support, they told me that they can only assist with refunds for orders within the last two months.

Is there a way to distinguish physical mouse/keyboard input from remote control mouse/keyboard input on Mac? Or even better, is there a way to detect if my Mac is being remotely controlled?

Hello, I recently implemented a conditional debounce publisher using Swift's Combine. If a string with a length less than 2 is passed, the event is sent downstream immediately without delay. If a string with a length of 2 or more is passed, the event is emitted downstream with a 0.2-second delay. While writing test logic related to this, I noticed a strange phenomenon: sometimes the publisher, which should emit events with a 0.2-second delay, does not emit an event. The test code below should have all indices from 1 to 100 in the array, but sometimes some indices are missing, causing the assertion to fail. Even after observing completion, cancel, and output events through handleEvents, I couldn't find any cause. Am I using Combine incorrectly, or is there a bug in Combine? I would appreciate it if you could let me know. import Foundation import Combine var cancellables: Set<AnyCancellable> = [] @MainActor func text(index: Int, completion: @escaping () -> Void) { let subject = PassthroughSubject<String, Never>() let textToSent = "textToSent" subject .map { text in if text.count >= 2 { return Just<String>(text) .delay(for: .seconds(0.2), scheduler: RunLoop.main) .eraseToAnyPublisher() } else { return Just<String>(text) .eraseToAnyPublisher() } } .switchToLatest() .sink { if $0.count >= 2 { completion() } }.store(in: &cancellables) for i in 0..<textToSent.count { let stringIndex = textToSent.index(textToSent.startIndex, offsetBy: i) let stringToSent = String(textToSent[textToSent.startIndex...stringIndex]) subject.send(stringToSent) } } var array = [Int]() for i in 1...100 { text(index: i) { array.append(i) } } DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 5) { for i in 1...100 { assert(array.contains(i)) } } RunLoop.main.run(until: .now + 10)

I've been experimenting with the new low-level Swift API for XPC (XPCSession and XPCListener). The ability to send and receive Codable messages is an appealing alternative to making an @objc protocol in order to use NSXPCConnection from Swift — I can easily create an enum type whose cases map onto the protocol's methods. But our current XPC code validates the incoming connection using techniques similar to those described in Quinn's "Apple Recommended" response to the "Validating Signature Of XPC Process" thread. I haven't been able to determine how to do this with XPCListener; neither the documentation nor the Swift interface have yielded any insight. The Creating XPC Services article suggests using Xcode's XPC Service template, which contains this code: let listener = try XPCListener(service: serviceName) { request in request.accept { message in performCalculation(with: message) } } The apparent intent is to inspect the incoming request and decide whether to accept it or reject it, but there aren't any properties on IncomingSessionRequest that would allow the service to make that decision. Ideally, there would be a way to evaluate a code signing requirement, or at least obtain the audit token of the requesting process. (I did notice that a function xpc_listener_set_peer_code_signing_requirement was added in macOS 14.4, but it takes an xpc_listener_t argument and I can't tell whether XPCListener is bridged to that type.) Am I missing something obvious, or is there a gap in the functionality of XPCListener and IncomingSessionRequest?

Hi there, This is my first time posting here. I'm working on small projects on Swift and SwiftUI now and then. I'm currently trying to develop an application that gets some bus arrival data using API and displaying them with live activities. The thing is that I'm not quite sure how frequently updates work yet. Still trying to figure out if I can update the live activity everytime the data coming right from the API changes or use push notification updates each minute passing by, but that is another thread that I'm going to focus with more details. Everytime i'm trying to deploy my app on my iphone or a simulator this error keeps popping up and I can't figure out why. Any ideas? Let me know if you need any snippet of my code.

We are developing an iOS app that communicates with a device using an NXP NTAG 5 chip in ISO15693 pass-through mode. While the app works flawlessly on older iPhone models (iPhone 8, SE, X) and most Android devices, we are experiencing severe reliability issues on iPhone 12, 13, 14, and 15. Issue Summary On newer iPhones (12–15), 90% of communication attempts fail. Retry strategies do not work, as the NFC session is unexpectedly canceled while handling CoreNFC custom commands. The issue is not consistent—sometimes all requests fail immediately, while other times, a batch of reads might succeed unexpectedly before failing again. Technical Details The failure occurs while executing the following request, which should return 256 bytes: tag.customCommand(requestFlags: .highDataRate, customCommandCode: commandCode, customRequestParameters: Data(byteArray)) { (responseData, error) in } The returned error is: -[NFCTagReaderSession transceive:tagUpdate:error:]:897 Error Domain=NFCError Code=100 "Tag connection lost" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Tag connection lost} For reference, we tested a comparable STM ST25 chip in ISO15693 and NDEF mode, and the exact same issue occurs. Observations and Debugging Attempts Positioning of the NFC antenna has been tested extensively. Disabling Bluetooth and Wi-Fi does not improve reliability. Rebooting the device or waiting between attempts sometimes improves success rates but does not provide a structural fix. When reading multiple blocks (e.g., 15 blocks of 256 bytes each): The process often fails within the first three blocks. After multiple failures, it may suddenly succeed in reading all blocks in one go before returning to a series of failures. The nfcd logs suggest issues at the low-level NFC and SPMI layers, indicating potential hardware or firmware-related problems: error 17:36:18.289099+0100 nfcd phOsalNfc_LogStr:65 NCI DATA RSP : Timer expired before data is received! error 17:36:18.292936+0100 nfcd NFHardwareSerialQuerySPMIError:1339 "Invalid argument" errno=22 setsockopt: SYSPROTO_CONTROL:IO_STOCKHOLM_SPMIERRORS error 17:36:18.293036+0100 nfcd phTmlNfc_SpmiDrvErrorStatus:1157 "Invalid argument" errno=22 Failed to query SPMI error registers error 17:36:18.293235+0100 nfcd phOsalNfc_LogStr:65 phLibNfc_SpmiStsRegInfoNtfHandler: Read Spmi Status Failed - pInfo set to NULL error 17:36:18.293313+0100 nfcd _Callback_NFDriverNotifyGeneral:2353 Unknown notification: 0x5b error 17:36:18.294163+0100 nfcd phOsalNfc_LogStr:65 Target Lost!! error 17:36:18.294678+0100 nfcd -[_NFReaderSession handleSecureElementTransactionData:appletIdentifier:]:164 Unimplemented error 17:36:18.294760+0100 nfcd -[_NFReaderSession handleSecureElementTransactionData:appletIdentifier:]:164 Unimplemented error 17:36:18.320132+0100 nfcd phOsalNfc_LogStr:65 ISO15693 XchgData,PH_NCINFC_STATUS_RF_FRAME_CORRUPTED Detected by NFCC during Data Exchange error 17:36:18.320291+0100 nfcd phOsalNfc_LogU32:74 phNciNfc_ChkDataRetransmission: Re-transmitting Data pkt Attempt..=1 error 17:36:18.622050+0100 nfcd phOsalNfc_LogStr:65 NCI DATA RSP : Timer expired before data is received! error 17:36:18.625857+0100 nfcd NFHardwareSerialQuerySPMIError:1339 "Invalid argument" errno=22 setsockopt: SYSPROTO_CONTROL:IO_STOCKHOLM_SPMIERRORS error 17:36:18.625919+0100 nfcd phTmlNfc_SpmiDrvErrorStatus:1157 "Invalid argument" errno=22 Failed to query SPMI error registers error 17:36:18.626132+0100 nfcd phOsalNfc_LogStr:65 phLibNfc_SpmiStsRegInfoNtfHandler: Read Spmi Status Failed - pInfo set to NULL error 17:36:18.626182+0100 nfcd _Callback_NFDriverNotifyGeneral:2353 Unknown notification: 0x5b error 17:36:18.626899+0100 nfcd phOsalNfc_LogStr:65 Target Lost!! error 17:36:18.627482+0100 nfcd -[_NFReaderSession handleSecureElementTransactionData:appletIdentifier:]:164 Unimplemented error 17:36:18.627568+0100 nfcd -[_NFReaderSession handleSecureElementTransactionData:appletIdentifier:]:164 Unimplemented error 17:36:18.833174+0100 nfcd -[_NFReaderSession handleSecureElementTransactionData:appletIdentifier:]:164 Unimplemented error 17:36:19.145289+0100 nfcd phOsalNfc_LogStr:65 NCI DATA RSP : Timer expired before data is received! error 17:36:19.149233+0100 nfcd NFHardwareSerialQuerySPMIError:1339 "Invalid argument" errno=22 setsockopt: SYSPROTO_CONTROL:IO_STOCKHOLM_SPMIERRORS error 17:36:19.149353+0100 nfcd phTmlNfc_SpmiDrvErrorStatus:1157 "Invalid argument" errno=22 Failed to query SPMI error registers error 17:36:19.149730+0100 nfcd phOsalNfc_LogStr:65 phLibNfc_SpmiStsRegInfoNtfHandler: Read Spmi Status Failed - pInfo set to NULL error 17:36:19.149797+0100 nfcd _Callback_NFDriverNotifyGeneral:2353 Unknown notification: 0x5b error 17:36:19.150463+0100 nfcd phOsalNfc_LogStr:65 Target Lost!!

Hi, all! I have an AppStore Server-side question. User sends up an AppReceipt that I am validating. What's the best way to tell the receipt belongs to said user? I want to make sure that the source of the AppReceipt was actually the original purchaser of the item. Is fetching Transaction + AppAccountToken the only way? AppAccountToken can only be utilized if the original purchase used it, and it is associated with the user's data. Is there another way?

I am trying to get a pass reader certified through the mFi / WPC certification process. The problem I have is that the Certifier app will not allow testing results to be submitted due to some missing information. I need support to discuss the missing information, but I have received no replies from the email provided for WPC Certification Representative. Does anyone here know how to get support for the WPC Certification process?

My app needs to track background location for a period of several hours while the user is using it, and we want to allow the user to switch apps or lock their phone while this is happening. We don't need to track location permanently and because of this, we don't want to request the "Always allow" permission. The app requests "While in use" permission and it has the "Location updates" background mode enabled. The CLLocationManager has 'allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates' set to true, 'pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically' false, kCLLocationAccuracyBest, kCLDistanceFilterNone, and .fitness for the activity type (we expect the user to be walking). The app also initializes a CLBackgroundActivitySession while it is tracking location and invalidates it when done. When I test this combination on my iPhone, it works fine. I get location tracking in the background for as long as I need it, regardless of what else I do with the phone. However, my customer says it doesn't work for him. He is using a Wifi-only iPad with an external GPS receiver called "BadElf GPS Pro". He says that the external GPS receiver works fine with other apps on his iPad. With my app, he gets background location tracking only for a short time, and then it stops. The app does monitor the "locationManagerDidPauseLocationUpdates" callback and posts a local notification if it gets called, but it doesn't get called. I've also confirmed with him that he is not force-quitting the app and the app is not otherwise being terminated by iOS. Is there something I'm missing?

Document based SwiftData apps do not autosave changes to the ModelContext at all. This issue has been around since the first release of this SwiftData feature. In fact, the Apple WWDC sample project (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/building-a-document-based-app-using-swiftdata) does not persist any data in its current state, unless one inserts modelContext.save() calls after every data change. I have reported this under the feedback ID FB16503154, as it seemed to me that there is no feedback report about the fundamental issue yet.

We are experiencing an issue where our iOS app’s network extension (acting as a VPN) is being unexpectedly terminated by the operating system. The termination appears identical to a user-initiated stop, as the extension receives the following call: NEProviderStopReasonUserInitiated. The issue occurs sporadically but can happen 10–20 times per day on devices with less than 10% free storage. On one affected device, opening the Camera app (or using the camera within another app like WhatsApp) consistently triggers the issue, making it easily reproducible. Memory consumption does not seem to be the cause—the extension is stopped while using only ~10MB of memory, well below the 50MB limit. We noticed a pattern related to swap usage: • On affected devices, the “Swap Used” column shows very low values (a few MB). • On unaffected devices, swap usage is significantly higher (hundreds of MB). • This is the only clear difference we’ve observed. The issue occurs across different device models and iOS versions (18.2.1 and 17.6.1). It also happens across different app builds (compiled with Xcode 15.x and Xcode 16.x). We found a similar report on the Apple Developer Forums: 🔗 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/108149 Has anyone else encountered this behavior with Network Extensions? Could low swap usage or system resource constraints be a factor? Any suggestions for debugging or potential workarounds would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m developing an app called FindMyNet that allows users to find the best internet provider based on their postal code (CAP). The app is built with Xcode and the macOS simulator. I’ve set up a FastAPI backend that communicates with an Excel database containing internet provider data for each postal code. Unfortunately, when I try to run the app, I encounter an error that prevents me from retrieving data from the database and displaying the correct provider.

Steps taken so far: • I’ve checked the logs on the FastAPI server, but there are no obvious errors. • I’ve manually tested the API using Postman, and it works fine, so the issue seems to be app-side. Support request: I’d like to understand better what could be causing this error and if anyone has had similar experiences. Any advice on diagnosing the problem or solutions for resolving it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

My MacOS swift app [myStuckApp5] refuses to close when running on Monterrey (The app becomes unresponsive after finishing its work, and needs to be forcefully closed). However, it closes as expected when running MacOS 13 and above. How can I troubleshoot this error? I'm attaching the content of the sys Log related to the app while it was stuck (too long to copy here...) This is the content of the related sys Log

Hello everyone, I want send haptics to ps4 controller. CHHapticPatternPlayer and CHHapticAdvancedPatternPlayer good work with iPhone. On PS4 controller If I use CHHapticPatternPlayer all work good, but if I use CHHapticAdvancedPatternPlayer I get error. I want use CHHapticAdvancedPatternPlayer to use additional settings. I don't found any information how to fix it - CHHapticEngine.mm:624 -[CHHapticEngine finishInit:]_block_invoke: ERROR: Server connection broke with error 'Не удалось завершить операцию.
