Can I use @_implementationOnly import in my Framework
We have FrameworkA which needs to use another FrameworkB internally to fetch a token. Now when I try to use this FrameworkA, we are seeing an issue with internal framework i.e. No such module 'FrameworkB'. But when I use @_implementationOnly import for the internal FrameworkB, I didn't see any issues. So just wanted to check If I can go ahead and use this @_implementationOnly import flag in Production?

In app purchase goes to Entered Billing Retry after free trail
I have a VPN application published in the app store. Used Ikev2 for this personal VPN. There are two in-app purchases. One is 'Monthly' and another is 'Yearly' with 3 days free trial. We have seen something strange for the yearly subscriptions which has free trail, the cancellation reason through the billing issue is too high like 70-80% due to billing retry state. Some other apps which have billing issues under 10% always. We have done some research and found that if the user doesn't cancel and Apple is unable to charge then it goes to a billing retry state. If users don't like the app, they could cancel their subscription/free trail easily but they are not doing this and why Apple unable to charge the bill after the trial ends. Am i missing something in the developer end?

Issue Integrating C++ SDK
Hello Apple Team, I'm trying to import the Audodesk FBX SDK to my Objective-C iOS Project. The SDK is written in C++, but has support for iOS and the iOS simulator architectures. I've added the path to the include folder in the Header Search Path I've also added the paths to libfbxsdk.a in the Library Search Paths Finally, I've added the libfbxsdk.a file to the Link Binary with Libraries. However, when I build the project, I get the following error: building for 'iOS', but linking in object file (/Users/Lond/Documents/v2/Autodesk/iOS/2020.3.7/lib/ios/debug/libfbxsdk.a[28](fbxalloc.cxx.o)) built for 'macOS' In the terminal, if I type the command: 
lipo -info libfbxsdk.a I get the message Non-fat file: libfbxsdk.a is architecture: arm64 confirming that I'm using the library for the correct architecture.   Do I need to add any other confifuration option? (Like the other linker flag or something else) I'm quite new to C++, and integrating a C++ SDK into iOS is not easy.   I'm using Mac Os Sonoma 14.6.1 Tested on Xcode 15.4 and 16.2 Target Device: iPhone 13 Pro (iOS 17.6.1) iOS FBX SDK version: 2020.3.7 Link to the SDK if needed: https://aps.autodesk.com/developer/overview/fbx-sdk   Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank you

cell.textLabel?.text breaking if a number value is in an array
Hi the below array and code to output a list item works fine: var quotes = [ [ "quote": "I live you the more ...", "order": "1" ], [ "quote": "There is nothing permanent ...", "order": "2" ], [ "quote": "You cannot shake hands ...", "order": "3" ], [ "quote": "Lord, make me an instrument...", "order": "4" ] ] cell.textLabel?.text = quotes[indexPath.row]["quote"] However if I change the "order" values to be numbers rather than text like below then for the above line I get an error message in Xcode "No exact matches in call to subscript". Please could someone tell me how to make it work with the numbers stored as numbers? (I'm wondering if creating an any array type and using the .text function has caused a conflict but I can't find how to resolve) [ "quote": "I live you the more ...", "order": 1 ], [ "quote": "There is nothing permanent ...", "order": 2 ], [ "quote": "You cannot shake hands ...", "order": 3 ], [ "quote": "Lord, make me an instrument...", "order": 4 ] ] Thank you for any pointers :-)

Function types as return types
Greetings, func stepForward(_ input: Int) -> Int { return input + 1 } func stepBackward(_ input: Int) -> Int { return input - 1 } func chooseStepFunction(backward: Bool) -> (Int) -> Int { return backward ? stepBackward : stepForward /* Error type of expression is ambiguous without a type annotation */ } Why am I getting this error. If I change the function to func chooseStepFunction(backward: Bool) -> (Int) -> Int { if backward { return stepBackward else { return stepForward } } Why is the previous chooseStepFunction giving me an error ? Thx in advance

HealthKit permissions not honoring user selection
I'm dealing with a strange bug where I am requesting read access for 'appleExerciseTime' and 'activitySummaryType', and despite enabling both in the permission sheet, they are being set to 'sharingDenied'. I'm writing a Swift Test for making sure permissions are being granted. @Test func PermissionsGranted() { try await self.manager.getPermissions() for type in await manager.allHealthTypes { let status = await manager.healthStore.authorizationStatus(for: type) #expect(status == .sharingAuthorized, "\(type) authorization status is \(status)") } } let healthTypesToShare: Set<HKSampleType> = [ HKQuantityType(.bodyMass), HKQuantityType(.bodyFatPercentage), HKQuantityType(.leanBodyMass), HKQuantityType(.activeEnergyBurned), HKQuantityType(.basalEnergyBurned), HKObjectType.workoutType() ] let allHealthTypes: Set<HKObjectType> = [ HKQuantityType(.bodyMass), HKQuantityType(.bodyFatPercentage), HKQuantityType(.leanBodyMass), HKQuantityType(.activeEnergyBurned), HKQuantityType(.basalEnergyBurned), HKQuantityType(.appleExerciseTime), HKObjectType.activitySummaryType() ] let healthStore = HKHealthStore() func getPermissions() async throws { try await healthStore.requestAuthorization(toShare: self.healthTypesToShare, read: self.allHealthTypes) } After 'getPermissions' runs, the permission sheet shows up on the Simulator, and I accept all. I've double checked that the failing permissions show up on the sheet and are enabled. Then the test fails with: Expectation failed: (status → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1)) == (.sharingAuthorized → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 2)) HKActivitySummaryTypeIdentifier authorization status is HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1) Expectation failed: (status → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1)) == (.sharingAuthorized → HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 2)) HKActivitySummaryTypeIdentifier authorization status is HKAuthorizationStatus(rawValue: 1) With the rawValue of '1' being 'sharingDenied'. All other permissions are granted. Is there a workaround here, or something I'm potentially doing wrong?

Swift 6 crash calling requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression
I found a similar problem here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764777 and I could solve my problem by wrapping the call to requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression in a call to DispatchQueue.global().async. But my question is if this is really how things should work. Even with strict concurrency warnings in Swift 6 I don't get any warnings. Just a runtime crash. How are we supposed to find these problems? Couldn't the compiler assist with a warning/error. Why does the compiler make the assumptions it does about the method that is declared like this: @available(iOS 9.0, *) open class func requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppression(responseHandler: @escaping (PKAutomaticPassPresentationSuppressionResult) -> Void) -> PKSuppressionRequestToken Now that we have migrated to Swift 6 our code base contains a bunch of unknown places where it will crash as above.

How to save a point cloud in the sample code "Capturing depth using the LiDAR camera" with the photoOutput
Hello dear community, I have the sample code from Apple “CapturingDepthUsingLiDAR” to access the LiDAR on my iPhone 12 Pro. My goal is to use the “photo output” function to generate a point cloud from a single image and then save it as a ply file. So far I have tested different approaches to create a .ply file from the depthmap, the intrinsic camera data and the rgba values. Unfortunately, I have had no success so far and the result has always been an incorrect point cloud. My question now is whether there are already approaches to this and whether anyone has any experience with it. Thank you very much in advance!!!

DebugDescription macro causing “String Interpolation” warnings
Using the DebugDescription macro to display an optional value produces a “String interpolation produces a debug description for an optional value” build warning. For example: @DebugDescription struct MyType: CustomDebugStringConvertible { let optionalValue: String? public var debugDescription: String { "Value: \(optionalValue)" } } The DebugDescription macro does not allow (it is an error) "Value: \(String(describing: optionalValue))" or "Value: \(optionalValue ?? "nil")" because “Only references to stored properties are allowed.” Is there a way to reconcile these? I have a build log full of these warnings, obscuring real issues.

Swift/C++ interoperability issue in std::string
In scope of one of our project we've faced an issue with constant crashes when integrating C++ library in Swift code using Swift/C++ interoperability. Investigating the root causes of the issue we've discovered that with new version of Swift bug was introduced. Long story short: for strings bigger than 27 symbols memory is feed incorrectly that causes the crashes. By creating this post I wanted to draw community's attention to the problem and promote it to be solved quicker as for now it is not addressed.

Tuple Comparision
I was trying to evaulate let myTuple = ("blue", false) let otherTuple = ("blue", true) if myTuple &lt; otherTuple { print("yes it evaluates") } Ans I got /tmp/S9jAk7P7KW/main.swift:5:12: error: binary operator '&lt;' cannot be applied to two '(String, Bool)' operands if myTuple &lt; otherTuple { My question is why there is no compile time issue in first place where the declaration is let myTuple = ("blue", false) ~~~~~~ something like above

Can't use Link in .systemLarge widget
I just added a .systemLarge widget to my app, but I can't get Links to work. I want the user to be able to tap one of the four rows in my widget - like the EmojiRangers example - but I can't get it to work. I watched a Developer video from WWDC20: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2020/10036?time=223 The guy, Izzy, 'simply' embeds an HStack in a Link, and hey presto! It all works. But that doesn't happen for me. There's clearly some code in the background that runs. I already have .widgetURL working for .systemSmall and .systemMedium widgets, and I don't need to use Links on those two types. Those work by sending a URL to .onOpenURL { incomingURL in ... All good there, no issues. I've wrapped each row in the large widget in a Link with the URL of something like myappurlscheme://widgetTapped/widgetId (it's the same url as that used in the small and medium widgets). I build & run. I tap a row. It doesn't act as though a row is tappable (it doesn't go slightly transparent), and just opens the app without hitting .onOpenURL or anything else. Nothing in my scene delegate is triggered. Is there a specific delegate method that gets called? Do I need to set up some awful intents? I'm not using any sort of NavigationStack here; that model doesn't fit my app. Any ideas? Thanks.

Struggling with async/await: Fetching an image off the main thread
Hey everyone, I’m learning async/await and trying to fetch an image from a URL off the main thread to avoid overloading it, while updating the UI afterward. Before starting the fetch, I want to show a loading indicator (UI-related work). I’ve implemented this in two different ways using Task and Task.detached, and I have some doubts: Is using Task { @MainActor the better approach? I added @MainActor because, after await, the resumed execution might not return to the Task's original actor. Is this the right way to ensure UI updates are done safely? Does calling fetchImage() on @MainActor force it to run entirely on the main thread? I used an async data fetch function (not explicitly marked with any actor). If I were to use a completion handler instead, would the function run on the main thread? Is using Task.detached overkill here? I tried Task.detached to ensure the fetch runs on a non-main actor. However, it seems to involve unnecessary actor hopping since I still need to hop back to the main actor for UI updates. Is there any scenario where Task.detached would be a better fit? class ViewController : UIViewController{ override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() //MARK: First approch Task{@MainActor in showLoading() let image = try? await fetchImage() //Will the image fetch happen on main thread? updateImageView(image:image) hideLoading() } //MARK: 2nd approch Task{@MainActor in showLoading() let detachedTask = Task.detached{ try await self.fetchImage() } updateImageView(image:try? await detachedTask.value) hideLoading() } } func fetchImage() async throws -> UIImage { let url = URL(string: "https://via.placeholder.com/600x400.png?text=Example+Image")! //Async data function call let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url) guard let httpResponse = response as? HTTPURLResponse, httpResponse.statusCode == 200 else { throw URLError(.badServerResponse) } guard let image = UIImage(data: data) else { throw URLError(.cannotDecodeContentData) } return image } func showLoading(){ //Show Loader handling } func hideLoading(){ //Hides the loader } func updateImageView(image:UIImage?){ //Image view updated } }

Modifying an associated value of an existing enum instance
Hi, I would like to modify an associated value of an existing enum instance of the the following enum: enum FilterItem: Equatable, Hashable { case work(isSelected: Bool) ... var filterName: String { switch self { case .work: return "Work" ... } } var isSelected: Bool { switch self { case .work(let isSelected): return isSelected ... } } I want to be able to switch on the FilterItem type and then to be able to modify the isSelected property of the instance like: let itemToChange: FilterItem switch item { case .work(let isSelected): itemToChange.isSelected = !isSelected I know the above code doesn't compile, but I was wondering if there was a way I could modify my enum instance without creating a totally new enum instance.

How to convert a function into a variable?
Hello, I have a test variable here which works fine: var quotes: [(quote: String, order: Int)] = [ ("I live you the more ...", 1), ("There is nothing permanent ...", 2), ("You cannot shake hands ...", 3), ("Lord, make me an instrument...", 4) ] and I have a test function which successfully pulls data from a mysql database via a web service and displays it via the "print" function: func getPrice(){ if let url = URL(string:"https://www.TEST.com/test_connection.php"){ URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { (data, response, error) in if let data = data{ if let json = try? JSONDecoder().decode([[String:String]].self, from: data){ json.forEach { row in print(row["quote"]!) print(row["order"]!) } } else{ } } else{ print("wrong :-(") } }.resume() } } Please can you tell me how to re-write the quotes variable/array so that it returns the results that are found in the getPrice() function?

String functions problems on iOS18
On iOS 18 some string functions return incorrect values in some cases. Found problems on replacingOccurrences() and split() functions, but there may be others. In the results of these functions in some cases a character is left in the result string when it shouldn't. This did not happen on iOS17 and older versions. I created a very simple Test Project to reproduce the problem. If I run these tests on iOS17 or older the tests succeed. If I run these tests on iOS18 the tests fail. test_TestStr1() function shows a problem in replacingOccurrences() directly using strings. test_TestStr2() function shows a problem in split() that seems to happen only when bridging from NSString to String. import XCTest final class TestStrings18Tests: XCTestCase { override func setUpWithError() throws { // Put setup code here. This method is called before the invocation of each test method in the class. } override func tearDownWithError() throws { // Put teardown code here. This method is called after the invocation of each test method in the class. } func test_TestStr1() { let str1 = "_%\u{7}1\u{7}_"; let str2 = "%\u{7}1\u{7}"; let str3 = "X"; let str4 = str1.replacingOccurrences(of: str2, with: str3); //This should be true XCTAssertTrue(str4 == "_X_"); } func test_TestStr2() { let s1 = "TVAR(6)\u{11}201\"Ã\"\u{11}201\"A\""; let s2 = s1.components(separatedBy: "\u{11}201"); let t1 = NSString("TVAR(6)\u{11}201\"Ã\"\u{11}201\"A\"") as String; let t2 = t1.components(separatedBy: "\u{11}201"); XCTAssertTrue(s2.count == t2.count); let c = s2.count //This should be True XCTAssertTrue(s2[0] == t2[0]); } }

array.contains(where: ...) returns true in debugger console, but false in application
I am encountering a strange issue. I have a class that manages a selection of generic items T in an Array. It's a work in progress, but I'l try to give a gist of the setup. class FileManagerItemModel: NSObject, Identifiable, Codable, NSCopying, Transferable, NSItemProviderReading, NSItemProviderWriting { var id: URL static func == (lhs: FileManagerItemModel, rhs: FileManagerItemModel) -> Bool { lhs.fileURL == rhs.fileURL } var fileURL: URL { FileManagerItemModel.normalizedFileURL(type: type, rootURL: rootURL, filePath: filePath) } init(type: FileManagerItemType, rootURL: URL, fileURL: URL) { self.type = type self.rootURL = rootURL self.filePath = FileManagerItemModel.filePathRelativeToRootURL(fileURL: fileURL, rootURL: rootURL) ?? "[unknown]" self.id = FileManagerItemModel.normalizedFileURL(type: type, rootURL: rootURL, filePath: filePath) } } The class that manages the selection of these FileManagerItemModels is like so: @Observable class MultiSelectDragDropCoordinator<T: Hashable>: ObservableObject, CustomDebugStringConvertible { private(set) var multiSelectedItems: [T] = [] func addToSelection(_ item: T) { if !multiSelectedItems.contains(where: { $0 == item }) { multiSelectedItems.append(item) } } ... } My issue is that the check if !multiSelectedItems.contains(where: { $0 == item }) in func addToSelection fails. The if is always executed, even if multiSelectedItems contains the given item. Now, my first thought would be to suspect the static func == check. But that check works fine and does what it should do. Equality is defined by the whole fileURL. So, the if should have worked. And If I put a breakpoint in func addToSelection on the if, and type po multiSelectedItems.contains(where: { $0 == item }) in the debug console, it actually returns true if the item is in multiSelectedItems. And it properly return false if the item is not in multiSelectedItems. Still, if I then continue stepping through the app after the breakpoint was hit and I confirmed that the contains should return true, the app still goes into the if, and adds a duplicate item. I tried assigning to a variable, I tried using a function and returning the true/false. Nothing helps. Does anyone have an idea on why the debugger shows one (the correct and expected) thing but the actual code still does something different?
