[Question] Inconsistent Call Directory number matching across regions (Japan, Taiwan, U.S.) We’re developing a Call Directory extension and observed inconsistent number matching depending on carrier region and number format. Environment Device: iPhone (iOS 26.0) Call Directory Extension: Custom implementation Carrier A: Japan carrier SIM Carrier B: Taiwan carrier SIM Numbers added to Call Directory patterns: +81 120 580 2XXX +81 704 336 2XXX Observed Behavior (Japan Carrier SIM) Incoming call from +81 120 580 2XXX → Caller name not displayed (Call Directory match failed). Entering 0120 580 2XXX in the Phone app dialer → Name displayed correctly. Incoming call from +81 704 336 2XXX → Caller name displayed correctly. Entering 070 4336 2XXX in the Phone app dialer → Name displayed correctly. Observed Behavior (Taiwan Carrier SIM) Entering +81 120 580 2XXX in the dialer → Name not displayed until the call button is pressed. Entering +81 704 336 2XXX in the dialer → Name displayed immediately, before the call is placed. Steps to Reproduce For Japan carrier: Use a device running iOS 26 with a Japanese SIM card. Add the following numbers to the Call Directory extension: +81 120 580 2XXX and +81 704 336 2XXX Receive an incoming call from +81 120 580 2XXX → ❌ Caller name not displayed. Open the Phone app and enter 0120 580 2XXX → ✅ Caller name displayed. Receive an incoming call from +81 704 336 2XXX → ✅ Caller name displayed. Open the Phone app and enter 070 4336 2XXX → ✅ Caller name displayed. For Taiwan carrier: 7. Insert a Taiwan SIM card (keep the same Call Directory patterns). 8. Enter +81 120 580 2XXX → ❌ Name not shown until the call button is pressed. 9. Enter +81 704 336 2XXX → ✅ Name shown immediately. Expected Result For both numbers: Caller name from Call Directory should display consistently: a) On incoming calls. b) When entering the full number in the dialer (before pressing call). Behavior should be consistent across regions (Japan, Taiwan, United States). Actual Result Region / Carrier Number Pattern Incoming Call Dialer (Local Format) Japan +81 120 580 2XXX ❌ Not shown ✅ Shown (0120 580 2XXX) Japan +81 704 336 2XXX ✅ Shown ✅ Shown (070 4336 2XXX) Taiwan +81 120 580 2XXX N/A ❌ Not shown until call Taiwan +81 704 336 2XXX N/A ✅ Shown immediately Questions How should numbers be formatted or stored in the Call Directory patterns so that they match both incoming calls and dialer input consistently across regions? Are there region-specific number normalization rules (e.g., Japan’s 0-prefixed local dialing or Taiwan’s international format handling)? Is there an official guideline or recommendation for formatting phone numbers in Call Directory extensions (e.g., E.164 vs local format) to ensure consistent matching? Notes The inconsistent behavior appears to be related to how iOS normalizes numbers per carrier region and local dialing conventions. In Japan, incoming calls from mobile numbers starting with 070 match correctly, while 0120 (toll-free) fails unless entered in local format.

Unexpected behavior encountered when scanning NFC tags. Imagine a link shortener web service where users can create lots of different URLs that are hosted on the same domain eg, https://short.com/unique-path The service has optional App Clip capability -- users can select any of their links and have the service create an App Clip for the selected link(s). Users can encode their URLs into NFC tags and have their customers scan NFC tags. Let's take just two URLs for example: https://short.com/foo https://short.com/bar The /foo link does have an App Clip associated with it while /bar does not have it. Each link has been encoded into appropriate NFC tag. Expected behavior when scanning from an iPhone: /foo -- shows an App Clip popup. /bar -- shows a "Open in Safari" default notification. What's actually happening /foo -- opens App Clip poput with correct metadata (title, subtitle, image) which is totally expected behavior. /bar (the one that doesn't have app clip associated with it) -- opens an App-Clip-like popup with the following error: CPSErrorDomainError 2 (see attachment below) So for some reason when someone scans an NFC tag with a URL that is not an App Clip and never has been -- it always shows that error regardless whether the URL exists or does not exist. I've tried few different/random URLs (which don't have an App Clip associated with it) and all of them show the same error. Additional details: All links use the same domain and URL format: domain.com/path where path is a short string of random a-Z characters. All App Clips are created at the same iOS app. AASA is good: Cache and Debug -- both green. This issue has happened to lots of users on lots of different iPhones and iOS'. Since the issue's been happening to lots of different users on different iPhone(s)/iOS' no sysdiagnose is attached. Actually it works the same on every device/iOS we've tried. Before submitting the issue, I've found few other developers reporting the same issue. What's interesting though is none of the links I've went through comes with a definite answer and it seems like this issue just randomly comes and goes without any specific changes on the server and/or iOS app. Dropping the links of similar issues below. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/671433 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/665969 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/775316 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764545

Hello everyone, I am trying to implement ScreenCaptureKit into my project, I am using MacOs 26 for the target version and followed this official project from apple regarding the screencapture kit. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ScreenCaptureKit/capturing-screen-content-in-macos I used the official exact code and implemented in my app, but the results are not good. The video look blurry, unclear, lost colors and its like 720p honestly. The 1st video frame t is result when I integrate it in my app. After that, I used another app ( which was built in electron, they were using screencapturekit as well ) and there results were a lot better. The 2nd video frame is when I recorded using their application. It appears as close to as system display I tried multiple things, but no impressive results. For my purpose, I want to the final recorded video to be as good as the display quality of the system. I also applied .hdr local display and coronolicial, but no help with that as well. Changed codecs to .mov, .hevc, but still no help Why is not the recoded video as high quality as the display

When I run this in a playground: var meDate = Calendar.current.date(from: DateComponents(year: 2024, hour: 7, weekday: 3, weekdayOrdinal: 2))! print(meDate) I see: 2024-01-09 15:00:00 +0000 This seems correct to me. jan 9th is the second Tuesday in 2024 I'm in the pacific TZ, 07:00 PDT matches 15:00GMT But then I do this: meDate = Calendar.current.date(bySetting: .weekday, value: 4, of: meDate)! print(meDate) and I see: 2024-01-10 08:00:00 +0000 I would have expected my hour value (7PST/15GMT) to have been preserved. Is there a way I can update weekday, but not lose my hour?

The documentation specifies that when Contacts framework returns unified contacts that each fetched unified contact object (CNContact) has its own unique identifier that’s different from any individual contact’s identifier in the set of linked contacts and that when refetching a unified contact, that this identifier should be used. There is also an analogous identifier within the list of contactRelations, but each of these don't seem to corespondent to the unified contacts. For example, is a new contact (Sheryl Zakroff) is created in the simulator Contacts and their spouse is set to Hank Zakroff. However, the GUID created for the contactRelations identifier does not correlate to the original Hank Zakroff GUID and cannot be searched. Is this a bug or what is the indent of the contactRelations identifier? Here's a debug output of walking the unifiedContacts: Name: Hank Zakroff 2E73EE73-C03F-4D5F-B1E8-44E85A70F170 - Other : (555) 766-4823 - Other : (707) 555-1854 Name: David Taylor E94CD15C-7964-4A9B-8AC4-10D7CFB791FD - Other : 555-610-6679 Name: Sheryl Zakroff DE783BC8-7917-4138-93F6-3AF0FD4CE083 - Other : (707) 555-1854 - Spouse: <CNContactRelation: 0x60000000dd60: name=Hank M.

Hi, We are working to integrate the Live Caller ID Lookup feature into our app. After submitting the request form via the link: https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/live-caller-id-lookup/, we received this reply from Apple: Apple’s OHTTP relay has been configured to talk to your OHTTP gateway. Now Live Caller ID Lookup should work for your application extension when distributed through App Store. However, before officially releasing our app on the App Store, we’d like to make sure the Live Caller ID Lookup feature is working as expected. To test this, we uploaded the app to TestFlight, and it successfully passed App Review. However, the test failed — we observed that the system tries to fetch the config from http://www.example.com/config instead of our actual configuration URL. Questions: Is this expected behavior when using TestFlight? Does the Live Caller ID Lookup feature only become active after full public release on the App Store? Is there any recommended way to test this feature before public release? Thank you!

I’m seeing a strange behaviour when sending mail from my app with MFMailComposeViewController. If the attachment is larger than about 3 MB, the message is created but then remains stuck in Outbox on my iPad running iPadOS 26.0.1. If I open the stuck draft in Outbox and tap Send immediately, the message is sent successfully. If I wait for a while before resending, the attachment shrinks to a few hundred bytes and the resend goes out without the file (I think the truncation is related to the MIME type, because it is not happening always). This happens only on the iPad: iPhone 16 on iOS 26.0.1 – message sends normally iPhone XR on iOS 18.7.1 – message sends normally iPad on iPadOS 26.0.1 – message remains stuck in Outbox with attachments over ~3 MB Mail settings: default iCloud account (also tried explicit setPreferredSendingEmailAddress("…@icloud.com")), Low Power Mode and Low Data Mode are off. Has anyone else encountered this behavior on iPadOS 26, or found a reliable workaround? Here’s the minimal repro I’m using: import UIKit import MessageUI class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. } override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) { super.viewDidAppear(animated) let mailComposer = MFMailComposeViewController() mailComposer.setSubject("test") mailComposer.setMessageBody("test", isHTML: false) let repeatedString = String(repeating: "aaaaa aaaaa\n", count: 300000) let data = repeatedString.data(using: .utf8)! mailComposer.addAttachmentData( data, mimeType: "application/octet-stream", fileName: "text.txt" ) self.present(mailComposer, animated: true) } }

Hello, I’m developing an app for both iOS and macOS using Mac Catalyst. On the iOS target, the DeclaredAgeRange framework works fine: I enabled the capability, set the entitlement, and can call the APIs successfully. However, when I build the Mac Catalyst target, I get compile-time errors because DeclaredAgeRange cannot be imported. Environment Xcode 26.0.1 Deployment Target (iOS): 13.0 Mac Catalyst target enabled (same bundle ID, same source code base as iOS version) iOS build works well with DeclaredAgeRange What I tried Added the Declared Age Range capability in Signing & Capabilities for iOS target → works fine. Tried setting Mac Catalyst Deployment Target to macOS 15.0+ and rebuilding → still failed to import. Because it didn’t help, I reverted and removed the separate macOS target setting. On Catalyst, the module simply isn’t available (import DeclaredAgeRange fails). From Apple’s documentation, my understanding is that DeclaredAgeRange should also be supported on Mac Catalyst (SDK 26+). But in practice I cannot import it in my Catalyst build. Questions Is DeclaredAgeRange actually supported on Mac Catalyst right now? If so, are there additional setup steps (capabilities, entitlements, provisioning, etc.) specific to Catalyst? Has anyone successfully imported and used DeclaredAgeRange in a Catalyst project? Any guidance or confirmation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Since legacyScreenSaver is still the thing running screensavers we make, and it's still buggy, why won't they give us a new template for building screensavers that run in the new engine? And hopefully they don't require them to blend in with the desktop, because most of us don't want that. A wallpaper is a wallpaper, and a screensaver is a screensaver.

We encountered an issue with iOS 26 and release version. We developed a voipout application and we created an entry in native call log on dev/prod version with our app that run under iOS 18.6 and earlier. On iOS 26 TestFlight version didn't create entry in call log but debug version did it. I don't find any clue in CallKit documentation for iOS 26 and we use action.fulfill(withDateStarted: .now) for call and end transaction and we develop under Xcode 26 Do you have any suggestion to solve our problems ?

Is the API of Live Caller ID Lookup not open to ordinary developers? How can I get the development permission of Live Caller ID Lookup?

Hello, I have an app that emulates an NFC card using NFC HCE. Since yesterday I saw an increasing number of crashes on iOS 26 only, which wasn't there before. From what I can see, it seems the app crashes when the NFC presentment intent is shown and 60 seconds passed and user does nothing. The app just crashes after 60 seconds. On previous iOS versions, I know that CardSession.Error.maxSessionDurationReached was thrown after 60 seconds. Is something changed in iOS 26?

I'm implementing an iPhone app which is requiring for best user experience that two phones are placed one next to another. When this happens the NameDrop function starts and interferes with the app behaviour. There doesn't seem to be any public foundation libraries to allow this. I know there is a support for turning off the functionality in the phone Settings, but this is not desired as I don't want the users to loose this nice iOS feature. Is it possible to temporary disable the NameDrop while the app is opened?

I am still struggling to nail down the screen time between monitoring and showing it in a DeviceActivityReport. It's always off by a couple of percentage points, which results in a difference of a couple of minutes between the time shown for my total screen time in DeviceActivityReport and DeviceActivityMonitor with a threshold set for all apps/websites/categories. In the report, I am looping through all segment (there is only 1 segement using .daily segment interval for a given day) then loop through all categories and all apps within each category and sum up all totalActivityDuration for each app. Based on avaiable documentation, that should corrolate to DeviceActivityMonitor threshold but it doesn't. Are there any differences in how these 2 places count screen time? Are there any apps/core ios services which are excluded from DeviceActivityMonitor. Would appreciate any help at all, I'm losing my mind here. My current suspicion is that Apple Developer documentation is counted twice. i.e. this website https://developer.apple.com/documentation/deviceactivity/deviceactivitymonitor shows up in usage as an App with bundleId of apple.developer.wwdc-release and time spent there is counted twice, against this bundleId AND Safari. I don't know why it's not counted as a webdomain.

Hi Apple Dev community, I want to ask if CallKit and CXCallDirectoryProvider (with addBlockingEntryWithNextSequentialPhoneNumber) doesn't work for 3rd party Phone apps. Is this a known issue that CallKit doesn't work on 3rd party iOS Phone apps (like WhatsApp, etc)? Thank you.

I would like the function in the calendar app to be able to assign a status to the set appointment, such as unconfirmed or pending.

Our VoIP app receives PushKit notifications successfully (callservicesd Delivering 1 VoIP payload appears in logs). However, the app is consistently terminated by the system when running in the background or killed state. The crash is caused by iOS expecting a reportNewIncomingCall to CallKit, but the system reports: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'Killing app because it never posted an incoming call to the system after receiving a PushKit VoIP push.' *** Assertion failure in -[PKPushRegistry _terminateAppIfThereAreUnhandledVoIPPushes], PKPushRegistry.m:349 Key Observations: VoIP pushes arrive and are delivered to the app. In foreground, some methods work and CallKit UI sometimes appears. In background/killed state, app is always terminated before CallKit UI shows. Logs confirm the system requires CallKit to be reported immediately inside pushRegistry(_:didReceiveIncomingPushWith:for:completion:). Steps to Reproduce: Run the app with VoIP + CallKit integration. Put app in background (or kill it). Send a VoIP push. Observe system logs and crash: callservicesd: Delivering 1 VoIP payload(s) to application UrgiDoctor: Apps receiving VoIP pushes must post an incoming call via CallKit... error: Killing VoIP app because it failed to post an incoming call in time. Expected Behavior: On receiving a VoIP push, CallKit UI (Accept / Decline screen) should always appear. App should not be killed if reportNewIncomingCall is called in time. Actual Behavior: CallKit UI never appears in background/killed state. App is force-terminated by iOS before user can accept/decline the call. Request: Guidance on the correct sequence for calling reportNewIncomingCall and completionHandler() in pushRegistry. Clarification if any changes in iOS 17/18 affect PushKit + CallKit behavior. Best practices for ensuring CallKit UI always appears reliably after a VoIP push. Environment: iOS 18.5 Simulator + Device Xcode 16.4 Using PushKit + CallKit with VoIP entitlement
