Overview

Hi All, I am building my own MDM server. It seems that in order for the MDM commands to function an MDM Push Certificate for the APNS framework. And in order to get the MDM Push Certificate from the Apple Push Certificates Portal (https://identity.apple.com/pushcert/) you need to upload your CSR usually provided and sign by the MDM Vendor of your choosing. I am familiar with this process. But now that I am the MDM Vendor, I am not sure where to get this MDM Vendor CSR Signing Certificate. I've already submitted a formal request via the "contact us" form. Apple's response pointed me to the documentation on Setting Up Push Notifications and the MDM Vendor CSR Signing Certificate help page (which I had already reviewed): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/setting-up-push-notifications-for-your-mdm-customers https://developer.apple.com/help/account/certificates/mdm-vendor-csr-signing-certificate/ The issue is that these documents describe using the signing certificate, but not the process for obtaining it as a new, independent vendor. So does anyone know of a portal or method of generating this “MDM Vendor Certificate”? or maybe I'm going about this all wrong and there is a simpler way… the again, its apple, so I’m probably on the right path just beed a little direction please. (I am not sure where to get this MDM Vendor CSR Signing Certificate.)

I'm experiencing intermittent crashes on iOS when launching a Flutter app after it was killed from the app switcher. The app works fine when resumed from background. Environment: Flutter 3.38.3 Crash signature: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Stack overflow in (null) compare:options:range:locale: > Thread 0: CFStringGetLength → CFStringCompareWithOptionsAndLocale → UIKitCore ( 85+ inlined recursive calls) What I've tried: Increased stack size to 64MB (-Wl,-stack_size,0x4000000) - didn't help Disabled iOS State Restoration - didn't help Added snapshot overlay in applicationWillResignActive - helped for background issue, but not cold start Key observation: The crash happens intermittently. Sometimes the app opens on 2nd attempt, sometimes on 5th. This suggests a race condition between Flutter engine initialization and iOS view hierarchy traversal. Question: Is there a way to delay iOS view hierarchy operations until Flutter is fully initialized? Any help appreciated!

I had, a long time ago (over 10 years) developed an application that is connected to my UPS (for solar panels). Until yet it worked very well, and I didnot have to compute more than making updates of XCode. That was all. But yet I have swiched to the latest value of switch, and it continue to compile, but it does'not work. I am asking to yo in order keeping my app working as previously. As it does not work, which library is replacing Cloudkit.framework ? and which library is replacing InsPersistantContainer.framework ? Have a good day Guy Desbief

My app allows to save user-selected URLs in a list and browse them with a tap. A user reported that the app often shows that when browsing their saved entry for "On My iPad", it's apparently empty (it contains no files). I saved "On My iPad" in my own list some time ago and noticed that the same issue occurs. The URL seems to be correctly resolved from the saved bookmark data, but I noticed that url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() returns false. The other URL I saved some time ago is iCloud Drive, which I can access without issues. If I select "On My iPad" again in a file importer, create new bookmark data from it and resolve the URL from it, access works correctly. I create bookmark data like this: let data = try url.bookmarkData(includingResourceValuesForKeys: [.localizedNameKey, .pathKey, .volumeIsLocalKey]) and resolve URLs like this: let url = try URL(resolvingBookmarkData: data, bookmarkDataIsStale: &bookmarkDataIsStale) bookmarkDataIsStale is false for both the working and not working URLs for "On My iPad". The two bookmark data are different though, even if url.path is the same. What could be the issue?

The simplest realityView (content, attachments in ... causes Contextual closure expects 1 argument but 2 were used in closure body. I have checked every example and i cannot understand why i get this error regardless of any content. Note: i have added Attachment(id: "test") to the attachment closure and get Attachment not is scope. imported both realityKit and SwiftUI.

I'm creating an event ticket Apple Wallet Pass and setting a light-coloured background image. When I do this, it automatically sets the foregroundColor to white, even when I explicitly set it to black. What's strange is that on my Mac, the foregroundColor appears as intended, and I can set it to any color I want, but when I AirDrop the pass to my iPhone, it sets the color to white, regardless of what I set the foregroundColor to. This means the text becomes completely illegible for my users, with white text on a white background image. If I remove the background image, the foregroundColor works fine. Is there a way to have a light-colored background image with dark text, or am I forced to have a dark-colored background image? Here are the colors in my pass.json: backgroundColor: "rgb(255, 255, 255)" foregroundColor: "rgb(0, 0, 0)" labelColor: "rgb(0, 0, 0)" I've attached what the pass looks like on my Mac and my iPhone.

I have a standalone Apple Watch app that uses Bluetooth with the bluetooth-central background mode. It seems that in watchOS 26.2, once the system terminates the BLE connection after background allowance is exceeded, the app never regains background BLE capability, even after the user returns to the foreground and interacts with it. This contradicts the documentation and the WWDC22 “Get timely alerts from Bluetooth devices on watchOS” session, which state that background BLE connectivity should be restored when the user brings the app back to the foreground. Does anyone have any insight into this behavior?

Hi DF I'm working on a watchOS app with an iOS companion app and have been updating the minimum deployments for both. After making the updates, when I upload the apps to TestFlight or App Store, the compatibility field for the watchOS has been removed. Instead of saying: Compatibility: Requires iOS 15.6 or later... Requries watchOS 10.6 or later... It says: Requires macOS... Requires iOS 15.6 or later... It is not a macOS app, so I don't know why that is displayed. How do I remove macOS and get it to display watchOS min requirement?

Logging out: The platform logs people out super quickly (e.g. within like a couple of hours), it would be great to be able to stay logged in within the same day and not have to log back in every time. Latency: In general, it can be really slow to load, and sometimes pages fully load without anything on them. The team then has to refresh the page for e.g. dashboards to be shown Submission of PPO & In-app events: PPO tests and in-app events can only be submitted on the latest version, which means that you need to wait for a period when we're not having a new version of the app reviewed. If this is regularly the case, it's difficult to submit. Sometimes you then submit e.g. an in-app event, but it takes a while and the review is removed in favour of an app update. Solution: The whole thing should follow a similar process to CPPs whereby you don't need to upload to the latest version, or you should be able to select which app version you're uploading to and be able to select the latest. Rather than having to delete and build again every time. Pricing updates: The amount of time that it takes to change pricing is insane and results in a reluctance to make price changes. There are a number of ways that this could be improved: a) Don't only allow us to select prices from a drop down list. This process adds like 3 extra clicks to every single price change. Just make the prices editable (e.g you can type) in a list, Google Play Console does this very well. b) For promotions, allow us to set e.g. "20% off the default price" and then when we make pricing updates to the default price the promotional price will update automatically. Instead currently we have to go in and manually calculate 20% off every single price based on the new price and update it ourselves, it's crazy. Reporting on promotions: Currently, there is no ability to see a time series of conversions with specific promotions with configurable date ranges, you can just see the total redemptions up to a certain date. This means we're manually having to look at the number of redemptions up to a certain date and then if we wanted to see a daily breakdown we'd need to look at ever date in isolation and calculate the increase in number of redemptions.

Is the accessibility feature, voice command recording available on the Apple Vision Pro? It does not start on my device. The Apple Vision Pro is on 26.1. Regular single voice commands work on the Apple Vision Pro. Recording commands worked on other devices. (iPad and iPhone)

Hi, I am trying to submit a revised/updated file for apple approval, and when I click the send for review, a message pops up, "Agreement Update" All my agreements are UP TO DATE, I click OK, and nothing happens...anyone experiencing the same or who has a fix? Thanks

I’m trying to understand the expected behavior of TabView when using .tabViewStyle(.page) on iPadOS with a hardware keyboard. When I place a TabView in page mode, swipe gestures correctly move between pages. However, left and right arrow keys do nothing by default, even when the view is made focusable. This feels a bit surprising, since paging with arrow keys seems like a natural keyboard interaction when a keyboard is attached. Right now, to get arrow-key navigation working, I have to manually: Make the view focusable Listen for arrow key presses Update the selection state manually This works, but it feels a little tedious for something that seems like it could be built-in. import SwiftUI struct PageTabsExample: View { @State private var selection = 0 private let pageCount = 3 var body: some View { TabView(selection: $selection) { Color.red.tag(0) Color.blue.tag(1) Color.green.tag(2) } .tabViewStyle(.page) .indexViewStyle(.page) .focusable(true) .onKeyPress(.leftArrow) { guard selection > 0 else { return .ignored } selection -= 1 return .handled } .onKeyPress(.rightArrow) { guard selection < pageCount - 1 else { return .ignored } selection += 1 return .handled } } } My questions: Is this lack of default keyboard paging for page-style TabView intentional on iPadOS with a hardware keyboard? Is there a built-in way to enable arrow-key navigation for page-style TabView, or is manual handling the expected approach? Does my approach above look like the “SwiftUI-correct” way to do this, or is there a better pattern for integrating keyboard navigation with paging? For this kind of behavior, is it generally recommended to use .onKeyPress like I’m doing here, or would .keyboardShortcut be more appropriate (for example, wiring arrow keys to actions instead)? Any guidance or clarification would be greatly appreciated. I just want to make sure I’m not missing a simpler or more idiomatic solution. Thanks!

Hi. I have an iOS application with multiple input fields. I have to design an experience such that whenever the user presses enter key on a textfield, it should move focus to the next input field. Similarly, consider a stack of 3 textfields, I want to cycle the focus as and when the user presses up/down arrow keys. Other platforms like Android, have this feature out-of-the-box. I wanted to understand if iOS also supports this kind of behavior. I know how to manually code such UX, but just wanted to confirm whether there is some inherent feature like on android which i can leverage? Thanks.

Hi, I was sent here by Apple developer account, it seems here is the only option for me, so your help is very much appreciated! Basically we are building a chromium based browser on iOS, we applied the "com.apple.developer.web-browser" entitlement, and it shows up in our identifier, profile etc. The app is signed with the new entitlement and published to the app store. However it is not listed as an option for default browser, doesn't matter which device I tried. I did verified that the Info.plist contains http/https urlschemes as required. In fact a few of us checked all available documents multiple times and still couldn't see why.

During checkout at apple.com using a non-supported Apple Pay on the Web browser, apple.com presents a QR like code offering to "Scan Code with iPhone" to pay. The payment continues using Apple Pay on the iPhone after scan. We already offer Apple Pay and Apple Pay on the Web. Is this QR code option available for us for non-supported browsers? Could you point me to the docs to add it? Thank you.

The iOS application is a Central Manager connected to a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) accessory that utilizes the Hands-Free Profile (HFP). When the application plays a notification tone (using AVAudioPlayer or System Sounds), the audio is incorrectly routed to the device's internal speaker instead of the active HFP headset. How do we programmatically ensure that these notification tones are automatically and reliably routed to the connected HFP headset

We are creating a Replicated FileProvider based application, where we need to change folder icons for root level folders. I tried below two approaches. This using NSFileProviderDecorations + Custom UTType, this changed the UI as shown: This using Custom UTType, this had no UI change: How can we change the default folder icon, to our custom icon?

Hi everyone, I'm building a task management app that layers on top of EventKit/Reminders. I'm also moderating /r/AppleReminders. I see a confusion around the semantics of dates on both the developer side and on the user side. I'm trying to map the standard productivity mental model to the EKReminder implementation and hitting some walls. In productivity contexts, a task tends to have three distinct dates: Start Date: When the task becomes actionable — Don’t alert the user before this date. Notification: When the device should buzz/ping the user — Meaning that they can get started on the task. Due Date: Hard deadline — If the system works well, tasks are meant to rarely be past-deadline; productivity systems are about meeting deadlines rather than about missing them. The EventKit Reality Here is what I’m seeing in practice, and I’m hoping someone can correct me if I’m wrong: Field Description In Practice (Reminders App) startDateComponents Docs say "start date of the task" Seemingly unused? I can set it via API, but the Reminders app UI ignores it. It doesn't seem to trigger visibility in "Today" or Smart Lists. dueDateComponents Docs say "date by which reminder should be completed" Conflated. Acts as the "Date" you see in the list. It functions as the Start Date (shows in Today), Due Date (turns red tomorrow), AND Notification time (unless early alerts are set). alarms Inherited from EKCalendarItem seems to be used for the actual notifications, including "Early Reminders," but tightly coupled to the due date in the UI. My Questions: Is startDateComponents effectively a dead field? Is there any native behavior (Smart List filtering, sorting, visibility) that respects this field, or is it purely for metadata storage for third-party apps? Smart List Logic: I was hoping to create a Smart List that shows "Actionable" items (i.e., Start Date <= Today). However, the Smart List filters only offer a generic "Date" field, which maps to dueDateComponents. Has anyone successfully filtered by startDateComponents in a native Smart List? Conflation: Is there any "blessed" way to set a Due Date that is distinct from the Notification time without fighting the system? (e.g. Due Friday, but remind me Wednesday). Any insight into the intended semantics here would be huge. I'm trying to avoid fighting the framework, but the "One Date to Rule Them All" approach in the Reminders app is making it tricky to support separate Start/Due dates. Thanks!

I am experiencing a persistent issue with my CarPlay application where images rendered within the CarPlay Template interface disappear after the application has been used for an extended period, typically during prolonged navigation. Images used directly within the CarPlay Template framework disappear. In the attached image showing the issue (IMG_1022.PNG), you can see that the icons for 'parking', 'gasstation', 'conveniencestore', and 'favoritespot' are missing. The side bar icons (car, battery, etc.) remain visible, and the text labels are present, but the Template-specific images/icons vanish. Problem Description Images displayed on a custom UIViewController remain visible. Some of our screens integrate a UIViewController (e.g., for map display), and any images rendered on that view controller (not the template itself) continue to display correctly without issue. Example Images IMG_1021.PNG (Normal/Correct Display): This image shows the SearchMenu screen with all icons displayed correctly next to their respective labels ('word', 'home', 'route', 'history', 'parking', 'gasstation', 'conveniencestore', 'favoritespot'). IMG_1022.PNG (Problem State): This image shows the same screen after prolonged use, where the icons next to 'parking', 'gasstation', 'conveniencestore', and 'favoritespot' have disappeared, leaving only the text labels. Question Has anyone encountered a similar issue? This seems to be a rendering or resource management problem specific to images within the CarPlay Template components when the application runs for an extended duration.
