Overview

When I try to validate my app I get the following error: Invalid bundle. Because your app supports Multitasking on iPad, you need to include the LaunchScreen.storyboard launch storyboard file in your com.augmentedReality.virtualTags bundle. Use UlLaunchScreen instead if the app's MinimumOSVersion is 14 or higher and you prefer to configure the launch screen without storyboards. For details, see: https:// developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/ uilaunchstoryboardname (ID: 236f630a-a014-48e8-910a-77d9c0ff6f51) What should I do to fix it? In the previous Xcode version and on another app it did not appear. MacBook Pro M5, Tahow 26.1, Xcode 26.1.1

Hi everyone, could you help us? We implemented a Flutter library that basically makes a call every x minutes if the app is in the background, but when I generate the version via TestFlight for testing, it doesn't work. Can you help us understand why? Below is a more detailed technical description. Apple Developer Technical Support Request Subject: BGTaskScheduler / Background Tasks Not Executing in TestFlight - Flutter App with workmanager Plugin Issue Summary Background tasks scheduled using BGTaskScheduler are not executing when the app is distributed via TestFlight. The same implementation works correctly when running the app locally via USB/Xcode debugging. We are developing a Flutter application that needs to perform periodic API calls when the app is in the background. We have followed all documentation and implemented the required configurations, but background tasks are not being executed in the TestFlight build. App Information Field Value App Version 3.1.15 (Build 311) iOS Minimum Deployment Target iOS 15.0 Framework Flutter Flutter SDK Version ^3.7.2 Technical Environment Flutter Dependencies (Background Task Related) Package Version Purpose workmanager ^0.9.0+3 Main background task scheduler (uses BGTaskScheduler on iOS 13+) flutter_background_service ^5.0.5 Background service management flutter_background_service_android ^6.2.4 Android-specific background service flutter_local_notifications ^19.4.2 Local notifications for background alerts timezone ^0.10.0 Timezone support for scheduling Other Relevant Flutter Dependencies Package Version firebase_core 4.0.0 firebase_messaging (via native Podfile) sfmc (Salesforce Marketing Cloud) ^9.0.0 geolocator ^14.0.0 permission_handler ^12.0.0+1 Info.plist Configuration We have added the following configurations to Info.plist: UIBackgroundModes <key>UIBackgroundModes</key> <array> <string>location</string> <string>remote-notification</string> <string>processing</string> </array> ### BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers ```xml <key>BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers</key> <array> <string>br.com.unidas.apprac.ios.workmanager.carrinho_api_task</string> <string>br.com.unidas.apprac.ios.workmanager</string> <string>be.tramckrijter.workmanager.BackgroundTask</string> </array> **Note:** We included multiple identifier formats as recommended by the `workmanager` Flutter plugin documentation: 1. `{bundleId}.ios.workmanager.{taskName}` - Custom task identifier 2. `{bundleId}.ios.workmanager` - Default workmanager identifier 3. `be.tramckrijter.workmanager.BackgroundTask` - Plugin's default identifier (as per plugin documentation) ## AppDelegate.swift Configuration We have configured the `AppDelegate.swift` with the following background processing setup: ```swift // In application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) // Configuration to enable background processing via WorkManager // The "processing" mode in UIBackgroundModes allows WorkManager to use BGTaskScheduler (iOS 13+) // This is required to execute scheduled tasks in background (e.g., API calls) // Note: User still needs to have Background App Refresh enabled in iOS settings if UIApplication.shared.backgroundRefreshStatus == .available { // Allows iOS system to schedule background tasks with minimum interval UIApplication.shared.setMinimumBackgroundFetchInterval(UIApplication.backgroundFetchIntervalMinimum) } ## WorkManager Implementation (Dart/Flutter) ### Initialization ```dart /// Initializes WorkManager static Future<void> initialize() async { await Workmanager().initialize(callbackDispatcher, isInDebugMode: false); print('WorkManagerService: WorkManager initialized'); } ### Task Registration /// Schedules API execution after a specific delay ## Observed Behavior ### Works (Debug/USB Connection) - When running the app via Xcode/USB debugging - Background tasks are scheduled and executed as expected - API calls are made successfully when the app is backgrounded ### Does NOT Work (TestFlight) - When the app is distributed via TestFlight - Background tasks appear to be scheduled (no errors in code) - Tasks are **never executed** when the app is in background - We have tested with: - Background App Refresh enabled in iOS Settings - App used frequently - Device connected to WiFi and charging - Waited for extended periods (hours) ## Possible heart points 1. **Are there any additional configurations required for `BGTaskScheduler` to work in TestFlight/Production builds that are not required for debug builds?** 2. **Is the identifier format correct?** We are using: `br.com.unidas.apprac.ios.workmanager.carrinho_api_task` - Should it match exactly with the task name registered in code? 3. **Are there any known issues with Flutter's `workmanager` plugin and iOS BGTaskScheduler in production environments?** 4. **Is there any way to verify through logs or system diagnostics if the background tasks are being rejected by the system?** 5. **Could there be any conflict between our other background modes (`location`, `remote-notification`) and `processing`?** 6. **Does the Salesforce Marketing Cloud SDK (SFMC) interfere with BGTaskScheduler operations?** ## Additional Context - We have verified that `Background App Refresh` is enabled for our app in iOS Settings - The app has proper entitlements for push notifications and location services - Firebase, SFMC (Salesforce Marketing Cloud), and other SDKs are properly configured - The issue is **only** present in TestFlight builds, not in debug/USB-connected builds ## References - [Apple Documentation - BGTaskScheduler](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundtasks/bgtaskscheduler) - [Apple Documentation - Choosing Background Strategies](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundtasks/choosing_background_strategies_for_your_app) Thank you

After having used Obj-C and C++ for years, I recently (~6 months) moved to Swift, which is hard for me but most often sends less obscure error messages (not always). My trouble is 1- why is it soooooo long (sometimes up to 20s - that's horrible) to get an object's variables accessible in the debugger? 2- In Xcode 16 why is it no longer possible to arrange my files as I did before (organised into folders from within Xcode - horrible when you get a bigger and bigger project)? 3- Why has it become impossible to see the retention cycles and retaining objects from with the memoryGraph (it's worth ~nothing) now !

Hi everyone, I am trying to generate an .ipa file for my .NET MAUI (net9.0-ios) application, but every attempt fails with the same codesigning error. I have tried multiple approaches, including building from Windows paired to macOS, and directly building through the macOS terminal, but nothing is working. Below are the exact steps I followed: Steps I Performed Generated the Apple Development certificate using Keychain Access on macOS. Added that certificate into my developer account and created the corresponding provisioning profile. Created an App ID, attached the App ID to the provisioning profile, and downloaded it. Added the provisioning profile into Xcode. Verified that the certificate is correctly visible in Keychain Access (private key available). Attempted to build/publish the MAUI app to generate the .ipa file. Issue Whenever I run the publish command or build via Windows/macOS, codesigning fails with the following error: /usr/bin/codesign exited with code 1: Frameworks/libSkiaSharp.framework: replacing existing signature Warning: unable to build chain to self-signed root for signer "Apple Development: Created via API (8388XAA3RT)" Frameworks/libSkiaSharp.framework: errSecInternalComponent Failed to codesign 'PCS_EmpApp.app/Frameworks/libSkiaSharp.framework': Warning: unable to build chain to self-signed root for signer "Apple Development: Created via API (8388XAA3RT)" PCS_EmpApp.app: errSecInternalComponent Build eventually fails with: Build failed with 4 error(s) and 509 warning(s) Environment .NET: 9.0 MAUI: latest tools Xcode: 26.0.1 macOS: 26.0.1 Building for ios-arm64 (device) What I suspect It looks like the signer certificate might not be trusted, or the certificate chain cannot connect to an Apple root CA. But the certificate was created using the Developer website and appears valid. Need Help With Why is codesign unable to build the certificate chain? Do I need a different type of certificate? (App Store / Distribution vs Development?) Is there any special configuration required for MAUI apps using native frameworks like libSkiaSharp.framework? How can I successfully generate the .ipa file? Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

We have submitted a feedback for this issue: FB21230723 We're building a note-taking app for iOS and macOS that uses both UITextView and NSTextView. When performing text input that involves a marked range (such as Japanese input) in a UITextView or NSTextView with a UITextViewDelegate or NSTextViewDelegate set, the text view's marked range (markedTextRange / markedRange()) has not yet been updated at the moment when shouldChangeTextIn is invoked. UITextViewDelegate.textView(_:shouldChangeTextIn:replacementText:) NSTextViewDelegate.textView(_:shouldChangeTextIn:replacementString:) The current behavior is this when entering text in Japanese: (same for NSTextView) func textView(_ textView: UITextView, shouldChangeTextIn range: NSRange, replacementText text: String) -> Bool { print(textView.markedTextRange != nil) // prints out false DispatchQueue.main.async { print(textView.markedTextRange != nil) // prints out true } } However, we need the value of markedTextRange right away in order to determine whether to return true or false from this method. Is there any workaround for this issue?

Hey there, I have a slight problem which is also known on the web, but I couldn't find any answers... My iOS App is working with documents like pdf and images. It is made to handle invoices and upload them to an external service. The app's job is to compress those pdfs and images. Sadly the PDFKit's PDFDocument increases its size just after importing it with pdfDocument = PDFDocument(url: url) and later exporting it to an pdf file again with data = pdf.dataRepresentation() without ever modifying it. It increases by server KB after each export. Do you have any alternatives to the renderer dataRepresentation() or a general PDFKit alternative Thanks

When I try to archive an app in order to submit it to the App Store I receive the following errors I do not know how to fix: error: Framework /Users/fbartolom/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Virtual_Tags-apzduassdiglhcapscsllvzbfgid/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Virtual Tags/InstallationBuildProductsLocation/Applications/VirtualTags.app/Frameworks/StoreKit.framework did not contain an Info.plist (in target 'VirtualTags' from project 'Virtual Tags') error: Framework /Users/fbartolom/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Virtual_Tags-apzduassdiglhcapscsllvzbfgid/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Virtual Tags/InstallationBuildProductsLocation/Applications/VirtualTags.app/Frameworks/Security.framework did not contain an Info.plist (in target 'VirtualTags' from project 'Virtual Tags') error: Framework /Users/fbartolom/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Virtual_Tags-apzduassdiglhcapscsllvzbfgid/Build/Intermediates.noindex/ArchiveIntermediates/Virtual Tags/InstallationBuildProductsLocation/Applications/VirtualTags.app/Frameworks/CloudKit.framework did not contain an Info.plist (in target 'VirtualTags' from project 'Virtual Tags') MacBook Pro M5, Tahoe 26.1, Xcode 26.1.1

Hi everyone, I am currently implementing Server-to-Server Notifications for Sign in with Apple. I’ve encountered a discrepancy between the official documentation and the actual payload I received, and I would like to clarify which one is correct. The Situation: I triggered an account deletion event via privacy.apple.com to test the notification flow. When my server received the notification, the type field in the JSON payload was account-deleted (past tense). The Issue: According to the official Apple documentation, the event type is listed as account-delete (present tense). Here is the discrepancy I am observing: Documentation: account-delete Actual Payload: account-deleted My Question: Is the documentation outdated, or is this a known inconsistency? Should I handle both strings (account-delete and account-deleted) in my backend logic to be safe, or is account-deleted the new standard? Any insights or confirmation from those who have implemented this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Some users cannot repurchase a subscription SKU after it has expired. Flow: User previously subscribed. User canceled and the subscription fully expired. After weeks, user reinstalls the app and taps the same SKU. StoreKit does not create a new purchase transaction. Instead, StoreKit always returns the old expired transaction in updatedTransactions. Therefore, the user is permanently unable to purchase the SKU again.

Hello I have made a game that uses Game Center leaderboards. I have done all required configurations and leaderboard worked perfectly in TestFlight. When I submitted app to store, I enabled Game Center and added leaderboard in Game Center section. The app was approved and is available in store but leader board is not shown. It says that it is not published. When I try to separately send leader board to review in app connect I get the following message: Unable to Submit for Review A Game Center enabled app version must be added for review. Does anyone can help to solve this. I have already sent message to support but I just got list o

After upgrading to iOS 18, crashes caused by calling null function pointers have changed their crash signal from SIGEVG to SIGKILL, making it impossible for developers to capture crash stacks using third-party components like KSCrash/PLCrashReporter. Is this a design change in iOS 18's memory protection mechanism? If so, are there any officially recommended crash capture solutions? Crash example code: - (void)MockCrashOnNullFunctionPointer { void (*func)(void) = NULL; func(); } Crash report comparison:

Nine days ago an upload to App Store Connect got stuck at the 'Processing' state. Subsequent build uploads whether for 'TestFlight Internal Only' or 'App Store Connect' stick just the same. I'm tearing my hair out - what little remains - as I can't do any uploads... I raised a support ticket with Apple eight days ago, they responded two days later asking for a screen-shot which was provided by return but I've heard nothing since. Uploads are all from XCode 26.1.1. XCode Organizer, 'Direct Distribution' and 'Validate App' work ok but I need to be using the App Store for this App... It's my understanding that if I remove the App from the App Store and then try to create a new App with the same Bundle ID that will fail as Apple specify the following warning prior to removing an App. "WARNING: If you remove an app, you’ll lose ownership of the app name. Removed apps can only be restored if the name isn’t currently in use by another developer account. In addition, the SKU can’t be reused in the same organization and if you’ve uploaded a build, your bundle ID can’t be reused." I'd really appreciate some help about how to proceed. Thanks Andrew

I've developed a custom FSKit module which all seems to work OK when tested with a dummy test FSResource. However, the end goal is to mount a user's entire home directory via my FSKit module. I obviously need the mount to occur before that user logs in for the first time, since that is when their home directory will be first populated. I also have to perform the mount as the user in question since their home directory must be owned by them. I have written a LaunchDaemon module to call /sbin/mount, running as that user, however I notice that whether FSKit modules are enabled or disabled seems to be a per-user setting. If I enable my FSKit module as User A in 'System Settings > Login Items and Extensions' and then log in as User B and go into Login Items and Extensions, the module shows as disabled. Is there a way to enable my FSKit module globally so that it is enabled for all users without each user having to go into System Settings and manually enable it? Or a way of enabling it via command line that I can run with "sudo -u" ? And would this enable me to mount a filesystem before any user has logged in?

Hi Apple Developer Community and Support Team, I'm reaching out for advice and potential escalation on a stalled organization enrollment that's blocking our app launch. Here's a quick timeline: Initial enrollment hit issues with D-U-N-S verification (now resolved) and email code delivery, leading to multiple failed attempts and temporary blocks. After unblocking via support, we resubmitted and were directed to higher department review. Submitted all required docs (company formation, passport/ID, etc.) on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. No updates since—it's now Day 6 with zero communication on ETA. This is critically urgent for our business: We have ~4,000 users pre-registered and waiting to download our personal development app (focused on habit-building and goal tracking). Projections show another 10,000 sign-ups in the next two weeks alone, pushing us to 15,000+ if resolved soon. These folks are already investing—our physical planners (promoting the app) are selling via Amazon and our website, http://www.freedommastery.com selling Life planners) and they're expecting seamless iOS access on launch day. Every day of delay risks churn, lost revenue, and momentum in a competitive space. I've followed up via phone/email multiple times, but frontline support can't provide timelines or status. Enrollment ID: [Redact or insert your anonymized ID here for tracking]. Has anyone navigated a similar higher-review holdup? Tips for bumping priority (e.g., additional proof of urgency like waitlist data)? Any rough ETAs from recent org approvals? Grateful for any insights—Apple's ecosystem is key to our growth, and we'd love to get these users onboard ASAP. Thanks in advance!

Description: We are investigating an issue where running a specific e-commerce iOS app inside the Xcode Simulator intermittently disrupts the Mac’s network connectivity. When the app is launched in the Simulator, our NETransparentProxyProvider and NEFilterDataProvider extensions occasionally stop receiving traffic correctly, and shortly afterward the entire macOS DNS resolution fails. Once this happens, all apps on the Mac lose internet access until mac is restarted. Disabling extensions also fixing the issue. This issue only appears when the app runs in the Xcode Simulator. I would like to confirm: Is it possible for traffic patterns or network behavior inside the Simulator to interfere with system-level Network Extension providers on macOS? Are there known limitations or conflicts between the Simulator’s virtual networking interfaces and Network Extensions? Any recommended debugging steps or best practices to isolate this behavior? Any guidance, known issues, or suggestions would be appreciated.
