Platform and Version Platform: iOS iOS Version: 17.0+ Development Environment: .NET MAUI (C#, .NET 9) Network Layer: HttpClient with HttpClientHandler Description of the Problem We are facing an issue where HttpClientHandler.ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback is not being invoked when the app is in a terminated (kill) state. In normal app lifecycle states (foreground/background), the callback is triggered as expected and allows us to handle server certificate validation (e.g., for certificate pinning or custom validation logic). However, when the app is in a killed state and is relaunched due to a notification action, the callback does not execute. We would like to understand: Why ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback is not invoked in this scenario Whether this behavior is expected within iOS networking/runtime constraints Any recommended approach or workaround to ensure certificate validation still occurs when handling notification-triggered flows from a terminated state Steps to Reproduce Ensure the app is force-terminated (kill mode) Configure a push notification with category: "INVITE_CATEGORY" Include custom notification action buttons Tap one of the custom actions This triggers app launch and network call using HttpClient Expected Behavior ServerCertificateCustomValidationCallback should be invoked during the network request initiated after tapping the notification action, allowing custom certificate validation.

Hello, I would like to have MSAL login fully working in a Developer ID signed macOS application. I am using the following library for adding MSAL support to my macOS app : https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-objc . The MSAL login (even silent login via the MSAL broker) works fully via my company Entra ID when I run and test my local dev build. But : when I build and sign and notarize my application with a company Developer ID signature, the login fails, and I see keychain access related issues in the MSAL library log entries. The MSAL library requires the following keychain access groups to be enabled : $(AppIdentifierPrefix)com.company.app.bundle.id $(AppIdentifierPrefix)com.microsoft.identity.universalstorage The above requirement is confirmed under these links: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/entra/msal/objc/howto-v2-keychain-objc?tabs=objc and also their sample app : https://github.com/AzureAD/microsoft-authentication-library-for-objc/blob/410256714ee0489d212c0cbd8772259a69e7d862/MSAL/test/app/mac/MSALMacTestApp.entitlements#L18 The problem seems to be that such keychain access groups access cannot be configured for Developer ID signed applications. Would it be possible to enable such Keychain Access groups somehow for a Developer ID signed application? Thank you for any help in advance!

Hi everyone, I built an open-source macOS developer tool called Claude Code on OpenRouter. GitHub repo: https://github.com/allytag/Claude_Code It lets the official Claude Code CLI run through OpenRouter models while keeping the normal Claude Code workflow: tools, file editing, bash, MCP, repository work, and agent behavior. The main reason I built it is that many custom model setups break Claude Code features or make cost and model control harder. This setup keeps Claude Code itself untouched and adds a local Anthropic-compatible proxy for OpenRouter. What it does: Runs the official Claude Code CLI through OpenRouter Keeps Claude Code tools, file edits, bash, repo workflow, and MCP working Uses a local proxy at 127.0.0.1:4141 Supports model roles like main, cheapFull, hard, subagent, lowToken, backup, and compare Lets users switch OpenRouter models without reinstalling Adds cache markers and provider pinning where supported Strips reasoning fields by default to avoid hidden token cost Includes a safe updater with snapshot, validation, and rollback Includes doctor, status, cleanup, verify, uninstall, and rollback commands Avoids storing API keys in the repo Current requirements: macOS Apple Silicon Node.js 20 or newer Zsh Official Claude Code CLI OpenRouter API key Quick start: Install official Claude Code if missing: curl -fsSL https://claude.ai/install.sh | bash Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/allytag/Claude_Code.git Claude cd Claude Preview the install: ./install.sh --dry-run Install: ./install.sh --merge Start using it: claude claude-router status Useful commands: claude-router status claude-router list claude-router tail claude-router use main deepseek-v4-pro claude-router add grok x-ai/grok-4 --name "Grok 4" claude-low "explain debounce" claude-safe-update latest --dry-run claude-safe-update latest ./verify.sh Safety details: The installer has dry-run mode before writing changes Existing Claude settings are preserved in merge mode Backups are created before changes Claude Desktop is detected but not modified The OpenRouter API key is written only to local Claude settings The repo includes a redaction check to block accidental secret commits Uninstall and restore-last-backup commands are included This is currently macOS Apple Silicon only. Linux and Windows are not supported yet because the installer uses macOS-specific paths and LaunchAgent behavior. I would appreciate feedback from other macOS developers who use AI coding tools. In particular: Does this install cleanly on your Apple Silicon Mac? Are there edge cases with Claude Code tools, MCP, or VS Code integration? Are there better defaults for model roles or safer update behavior? Is there anything I should change before calling this more stable? Repo again: https://github.com/allytag/Claude_Code Thanks.

I have my 2 apps written in .NET MAUI on the PC. I have had success deploying them to the Apple App Store from within Visual Studio. https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/the-club-referee/id6752123189 https://apps.apple.com/ie/app/the-club-fan/id6751670297 However sometimes when I go through the Compile - Publish - Distribute process I get no errors but still the app does not appear in TestFlight. Is there anyway I can see where it's failing? Is there an extension for Visual Studio that will show the errors? Can I look on my MacMini and find the deployment errors there?

We are reaching out to request urgent assistance with a critical issue affecting Universal Links validation for one of our production domains.

I have a parental control app that uses FamilyControls, ManagedSettings, and DeviceActivityMonitor across two extension targets (DeviceActivityMonitor and ShieldConfiguration). The main app target received its Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement without issue. I then submitted requests for the same entitlement for both extension targets on April 16. Both still show as "Submitted" with no update after 12 days. Two questions: What is the typical turnaround time for extension entitlement requests? The main app was approved relatively quickly. Is there anything additional required for extension targets beyond the standard request? I submitted through the normal entitlement request flow. I didn't include any supplementary documentation as none was requested. These are the last blocker for App Store submission. Any guidance appreciated.

Hello, I'm experiencing a critical issue with my Flutter iOS app on TestFlight where the app shows a completely black screen immediately after launch. The app does NOT crash (no .ips logs in iOS Settings → Analytics & Improvements), but Flutter Engine appears not to start at all. The same code runs perfectly on Android. PROJECT INFO: App Name: CNC AI Assistant Bundle ID: com.beratech.cncassistant Team ID: 958PPWZD27 Provisioning Profile UUID: 8122ca65-b15f-4daa-b0d2-1da5409c6859 Build CI: Codemagic Flutter Version: 3.41.5 iOS Deployment Target: 14.0 Test Device: iPad15,3 running iOS 26.x ISSUE BEHAVIOR: Build succeeds on Codemagic without errors IPA is signed with valid distribution certificate TestFlight processes and accepts the build Tester downloads/updates from TestFlight successfully App opens → completely BLACK SCREEN immediately LaunchScreen.storyboard does not appear App does not auto-close (must be manually killed) NO crash logs generated in iOS Settings Same exact codebase works on Android (Google Play Internal Testing) DEBUGGING ALREADY ATTEMPTED: Replaced main.dart with MINIMAL code (only Firebase init + single Scaffold with white background and Text widget) - still black screen Removed flutter_secure_storage package (had a known iOS 26 keychain init crash) - still black screen Updated IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET from 13.0 to 14.0 in pbxproj to match Podfile platform - still black screen Tried both empty entitlements and entitlements matching the provisioning profile (com.apple.developer.applesignin + keychain-access-groups) - still black screen Verified GoogleService-Info.plist is registered in pbxproj Verified LaunchScreen.storyboard exists and is valid Verified Info.plist has UILaunchStoryboardName = LaunchScreen and ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption = false AppDelegate.swift contains only GeneratedPluginRegistrant.register PROVISIONING PROFILE ENTITLEMENTS: application-identifier: 958PPWZD27.com.beratech.cncassistant com.apple.developer.applesignin: Default keychain-access-groups: 958PPWZD27.*, com.apple.token com.apple.developer.team-identifier: 958PPWZD27 get-task-allow: false (production) INSTALLED PLUGINS (from GeneratedPluginRegistrant.m): firebase_auth, firebase_core, firebase_storage, cloud_firestore purchases_flutter, purchases_ui_flutter (RevenueCat) sign_in_with_apple, google_sign_in_ios shared_preferences_foundation, path_provider_foundation webview_flutter_wkwebview, video_player_avfoundation url_launcher_ios, image_picker_ios, file_picker permission_handler_apple, package_info_plus, device_info_plus app_links, open_filex QUESTIONS: What could cause a Flutter iOS app to silently fail to launch on iOS 26 with no crash logs? Is there a known incompatibility between iOS 26 and certain entitlement configurations? Could there be a mismatch issue between the provisioning profile entitlements and the app's actual entitlements that causes silent termination on iOS 26 specifically? How can I obtain detailed launch/crash logs from the test device when no .ips file is generated? (sysdiagnose only shows system services like BackgroundShortcutRunner, not my app) Are there any iOS 26-specific changes related to TestFlight builds or Flutter Engine initialization that I should be aware of? I have full access to: Complete pbxproj Info.plist, Runner.entitlements, Release.entitlements Codemagic build logs Generated IPA file Provisioning profile (.mobileprovision) Screenshots of black screen on test device Any guidance on diagnostic next steps or known iOS 26 issues would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

HI, I have a Swift UI app in the mac appstore in the upcoming release we have made lots of changes and it is working fine in debug mode but in production with testflight or direct distribution we are getting the following crash while working in the app. this is happening in the rendering phase.

I am running Tahoe 26.4.1 on a MacBook Air, M4, 2025. In System Settings, I have an item heading of Software Update Available. Clicking on that brings up "Command Line Tools for Xcode 26.4". The only available choices are to Update Now or Cancel. In the past, I was developing a game, but have quit working on that, and deleted Xcode and Command Line Tools. Wanting the "Command Line Tools ..." line to disappear from System Settings, I called Apple Support, and at their request have followed the steps in "https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/installing-the-command-line-tools" to delete this entry in System Settings, namely the 2 sudo's in that article under the section "Uninstall the command line tools". This did not cause the "Command Line Tools for Xcode 26.4" line in System Settings to disappear (as I was told by Apple support that it would, because I would be deleting the receipt). In Terminal, I did indeed receive a response of "No receipt for 'com.apple.dt.commandlinetools' found at '/'.". I have called developer support, but the individual I spoke with had no useful guidance on how to finish this issue, except to post to the Forum. I would appreciate any guidance on how to delete the "Command Line Tools ..." entry from System Settings.

Summary After replacing every PNG in AppIcon.appiconset with the correct branded heart icon, the installed iOS app on a real iPhone (built and deployed via Xcode, not TestFlight web clip) still displays the default Capacitor 'blue X' placeholder icon on the home screen. The icon files in the repo are confirmed to be the new artwork, but iOS shows the old placeholder. Environment App: ImpulseAlly (Capacitor wrapper around hosted TanStack Start web app) Bundle ID: com.impulseally.app Capacitor iOS, deployment target iOS 15.0 Xcode 17E202, iOS SDK 26.4 (per derived-data log) Install method: Xcode → Run on physical device (not Safari 'Add to Home Screen', not TestFlight) Web shell URL: https://impulseally.com (server.url in capacitor.config.ts) What the user sees On the iPhone home screen, the app icon is the default Capacitor placeholder — a stylized blue 'X' / Capacitor logo on a white background. The expected icon is a sage-green rounded square with a white heart. Please ask for more information if I have not provided what you need. I have a file that I can share with everything I've tried.

Good morning. I have an APPLE DEVELOPER ACCOUNT. I am inquiring about Distributing In House Apps using my own website. All the links so far do not help. They all seem to be relevant to the Apple Store and not In House apps. I have my apps ready for evaluation. I understand you need to evaluate them. I want to apply for a certificate that will allow me to put the apps on my OWN website and have users download these and install to their Apple devices. So far I have been testing using own devices but every build I create does NOT create a manifest file. They do work but obviously I need a manifest for the website. I assume a relevant certificate would provide that. Can you please let me know of any and all information that applies on how to apply for an In House Distribution Certificate and how and where I should upload my apps for evaluation. Thank you so much. John

Hello, I made my app icon with Icon Composer and added the .icon file directly to my Xcode project. I noticed that the icon preview in Icon Composer looks one way, while the icon shown on the App Store looks different. Details: I am using the .icon file directly in the project I am not using an exported PNG for the app icon I did not add a separate background image The background was set with fill in Icon Composer The preview in Icon Composer looks as expected The App Store version has a different appearance I would like to ask whether this difference may come from: App Store processing caching or a recommended Icon Composer setup for background fill If anyone has seen something similar, I would appreciate any guidance. I can also share screenshots of the Icon Composer preview and the App Store result.

Hi. On my iOS app, both the app store and the device are making changes to my app icon to make it look more Liquid-Glass. See attached image showing my original icon, and then how it appears on the app store and on devices. There is an added bevel/3d effect. I'd like to not have this happen. Did anybody figure out how to turn this off? So that the icon appears as submitted. I've played around with Icon Composer a bit but haven't managed to turn this off there. And would prefer to just submit the png's. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m currently researching Apple Watch pairing behavior and diagnostic logging across different setup modes. I can reliably trigger a co-sysdiagnose on an Apple Watch when it is paired in a normal standalone / standard configuration. In that case, the expected co-sysdiagnose archive appears on the paired iPhone. However, in a Family Setup / managed account scenario, behavior is different: The watch provides the expected haptic feedback after the sysdiagnose button combination But no co-sysdiagnose archive appears on the paired iPhone afterward The same hardware behaves differently depending on pairing/account configuration My question is: Is co-sysdiagnose collection, transport, or availability intentionally different for Family Setup / managed Apple Watch devices? For example: Are logs stored elsewhere? Is transfer to the organizer iPhone restricted? Is co-sysdiagnose unsupported in Family Setup mode? Are additional conditions required, such as Wi-Fi, charging state, unlocked devices, or a longer delay? I may be missing something obvious, but I have not found documentation describing this difference. If this is expected behavior, I’d really appreciate a pointer to the relevant documentation. Thanks a lot!

mac mini xcode 26.4, but the simulator version is 16. how can i update the simulator to version 26?

This is not exactly a feedback about the forums but I couldn't find a better location to ask this question. The macos release notes are hosted at developer.apple.com. For example, the macos 26.4 release note is here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos-release-notes/macos-26_4-release-notes. Would it be possible to include the release date in those release notes? Right now, it's hard to locate that information. It would also be useful to even include the sw_vers of that particular release in those release notes. For example: ProductName: macOS ProductVersion: 26.4 BuildVersion: 25E246 Having the sw_vers and the release date in the first few lines of the release note would be handy. The reason I went looking for the release date was because the corresponding sources for macos 26.4 hasn't yet been listed at https://opensource.apple.com/releases/. It usually takes a few days for that to happen, so I wanted to see how long it has been since 26.4 was released.

The assets in the Asset.xcasset lesser than the asset in the Assets.car file. Because of this the iPA file size increased three times as Assets.car file inside the iPA increased. Why do the asset file size increased enormously. How do we prevent this ? I used Version 26.2 (17C52).

Hello there everyone. I've got numerous support projects using old school development. Things from Objective-C to RxSwift and UIKit. I've tried the LLM/Agents and they just destroy the codebase over time, so I have given up. The final straw was trying to get it to fix a POSTCODE validation issue which was using some novel ways to provide validation in place using RxSwift. Has anyone had any luck with these LLMs on Legacy codebases? Would love to hear tips.

Hi, We are trying to integrate Metric Kit into our MacOS Application. Our application is a background process. We are interested in getting CPU and Memory metrics for our process. MXMetricPayload is the one we are looking at. We tried to integrate metric Kit and left the background app for 24 hours, we did not get any callback. So, does metric kit work for background app in MacOS? Also does it for Network Extension?
