NSApplicationDelegate.application(_:open:) gets the files it needs to read from the file URLs given. There are similar older functions that use a String to identify the file. What format are those strings expecting? A path name? An URL?

I have published the app on the App Store along with its corresponding app clip, my app clip is configured with some advanced experiences for each one of my clients, but whenever some users try to scan an NFC or QR Code they see the card rendering correctly with their configured banner image, but with the message "App Clip Unavailable". The weird thing is that both iMessage and the website to which the associated domain is set and the apple-app-site-association is stored, renders the banner or card correctly, and when the users tap the banner or card they open the advanced app clip experience correctly without any issue. I have attempted to troubleshoot the issue by checking the following: if the app clip is below 15MB if we are using a second level domain in my associated domain both for my app clip and app (excluding the www subdomain). checking if the AASA is correctly stored inside .well-known directory checking the configuration for the advanced experience I opened a case: 102233443873, and added a bunch of videos and screenshot showcasing the issue, but I have not yet received a reply

Hi, I am developing a NSReplicatedFileProvider extension. Part of that I am also doing a Finder Sync Extension, but I am for whatever reason unable to enable the extension. What am I missing? it is signed properly, it has the right app group. Is there anything else I nede to enable for it? When I do this: pluginkit -m | grep -i XXXFinderSync I get com.clio.XXX-Desktop.XXXFinderSync(1.0) Not that - shows up as bullet point. The hyphen signifies it is disabled.

I'm running into a contradictory requirement involving the DeviceActivity Report extension (com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension) that makes it impossible to both: upload the app to App Store Connect, and install the app on a physical device. This creates a complete catch-22. 📌 Overview My extension: Path: Runner.app/PlugIns/LoADeviceActivityReport.appex Extension point: com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension Implementation (SwiftUI): import SwiftUI import DeviceActivity @main struct LoADeviceActivityReport: DeviceActivityReportExtension { var body: some DeviceActivityReportScene { // ... } } This is the standard SwiftUI @main DeviceActivityReportExtension template. 🟥 Side A — iOS runtime behavior (device installer) If I add either of these keys to the extension's Info.plist: NSExtensionPrincipalClass NSExtensionMainStoryboard then the app cannot be installed on a real iPhone/iPad. The device installer fails with: Error 3002 AppexBundleContainsClassOrStoryboard NSExtensionPrincipalClass and NSExtensionMainStoryboard are not allowed for extension point com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension. To make the app install and run, I must remove both keys completely. This leaves the extension Info.plist like: NSExtension NSExtensionPointIdentifier com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension With this, the app installs and runs correctly. 🟥 Side B — App Store Connect upload validator However, when I upload the IPA with the runtime-correct Info.plist, App Store Connect rejects it: State: STATE_ERROR.VALIDATION_ERROR (HTTP 409) Missing Info.plist values. No values for NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass found in extension Info.plist for Runner.app/PlugIns/LoADeviceActivityReport.appex. So ASC requires that at least one of those keys be present. 💥 The catch-22 If I add PrincipalClass / MainStoryboard: ✔ App Store Connect validation passes ❌ But the app can NOT be installed on any device (Error 3002) If I remove PrincipalClass / MainStoryboard: ✔ The app installs and runs correctly ❌ ASC rejects the upload with “Missing Info.plist values” There is currently NO Info.plist configuration that satisfies both: Runtime: "NSExtensionPrincipalClass and NSExtensionMainStoryboard are not allowed." App Store Connect: "You must include NSExtensionPrincipalClass or NSExtensionMainStoryboard." 📌 Expected behavior For SwiftUI @main DeviceActivityReportExtension, the documentation and examples suggest the correct configuration is: NSExtensionPointIdentifier com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension with no principal class or storyboard at all. If that is correct for runtime, ASC seems to need updated validation rules for this extension type. ❓My Questions What is the officially correct Info.plist configuration for a SwiftUI DeviceActivityReportExtension? Should principal class / storyboard not be required for this extension type? Is this a known issue with App Store Connect validation? Is there currently a workaround that allows: installation on device and successful App Store Connect upload, without violating runtime restrictions?

Problem Description: After upgrading to iOS 26, I discovered that the ExtendedDistanceMeasurement feature in the Nearby Interaction framework is not working as expected. On the same device model, the issue did not occur on iOS 18, but it is present on iOS 26 (including the latest iOS 26.2), and it has started affecting the functionality of my app. I hope this issue can be resolved as soon as possible. Problem Details: On iOS 26 and later versions (including iOS 26.2), when using an iPhone and an Apple Watch both equipped with second-generation UWB chips, enabling isExtendedDistanceMeasurementEnabled initiates the distance measurement process successfully, but the distance information fails to update. The real-time distance between the devices does not display within the app. Affected Devices and Versions: iPhone Model: iPhone 15 Pro Max iOS Version: iOS 26.2 Apple Watch Model: Apple Watch 10 watchOS Version: 26.2 Example Code: The issue can be reproduced by adding the following code from the official sample code: Nearby Interaction Framework Sample Code

Hello guys, I have been trying to advertise in the background but I can’t seem to make it work. In my case, I want if a device is acting as a peripheral and the app goes to the background it still can be discoverable and be able to write/read to/from it by the central. I have added the background mode “Acts as a Bluetooth accessory”. When will willRestoreState be called? What should I do in willRestoreState? Will it always be discoverable or have some limitations? Should I stop advertising at any point? How should I clean up after the view is dismissed? Must the peripheral manager be initialized in the AppDelegate? and if so, will it always be advertising even if I don't want it to? What are the battery concerns? Also, I have encountered an issue that my iPhone device can discover an Android device but not the opposite. What could be the problem of this? Thank you. Best regards

How can I talk with a human being at Apple? Thank you, Bud Miller

Hello, I have an AppClip technical issue I'd like to ask about: Our Xiaohongshu App (Version 9.14 & Build 9140845 & appid 741292507) was submitted to the App Store for review on December 18th and approved on December 19th, starting a phased rollout. This version was the first to support AppClip functionality, and as of today the app has been fully rolled out, but I still cannot activate the Xiaohongshu App Clip Card using the NFC tag (built-in URL: https://xhslink.com/n/22UG9jlaOfv?sourceid=911). I checked all the configurations of our project's AppClip target (Associated Domains:appclips:xhslink.com), the default experience in the ASC backend (URL: https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=com.xingin.discover.Clip), and the advanced experience (URL: https://xhslink.com/n/Arxpo4IVY9X), and all showed no abnormalities. Furthermore, the default experience URL, after being written with an NFC tag, can be successfully launched by tapping the NFC tag to open the Xiaohongshu App Clip Card, and the Card can also be opened normally in Safari on the phone. However, our advanced experience URL, after being written with an NFC tag, cannot be launched by tapping the Card. Therefore, my question is: Who please can help me check why the Xiaohongshu App Clip Card cannot be launched normally using the advanced experience URL? Thank you very much! My Expectations: My advanced experience URL configured on the ASC platform, such as https://xhslink.com/n/Arxpo4IVY9X, should be recognized and validated by the iOS system when the phone is near the NFC tag and reads https://xhslink.com/n/22UG9jlaOfv?sourceid=911, ultimately triggering the App Clip Card configured in Xiaohongshu's advanced experience settings. Additionally: We have already deployed a large number of NFC tags and other materials in many online stores, and the URL (https://xhslink.com/n/Arxpo4IVY9X) is built-in, and our 9.14 version is fully implemented. However, the newly developed App Clip feature is not working, which is very urgent and I hope Apple can help me find the cause of the problem and how to improve it as soon as possible. Thank you very much!

I have a third-party app installed on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, and since yesterday I've been getting the following error: "An internet connection is required to verify developer trust. Apple Development: Created via API (3GJ3LH6NRW). This app will not be available until it has been verified." Can you help me fix this? I've been told it should work again on its own in 2 to 4 days. I have a Developer account to sign apps and avoid problems; it's never given me any trouble until now.

I've been trying to follow Apple's testing age assurance documentation here. After following each step and setting my user as "Texas, child 16-17, significant change declined", the AgeRangeService consistently throws the notAvailable error: do { let response = try await AgeRangeService .shared.requestAgeRange(ageGates: 18, in: self) // ... } catch AgeRangeService.Error.notAvailable { // Always throws this error }

Hello, I am developing an internal phone application using CallKit. I am experiencing an issue with the behavior of remoteHandle settings in iOS 26 and would appreciate any insights you can provide towards a solution. 1. Problem Description When an iPhone running iOS 26 is in a sleep state and receives a VoIP incoming call where remoteHandle is set to nil or an empty string (@""), we are unable to transition to our application (the UIExtension provided by the provider) from the CallKit UI's "More" (…) button after answering the call. 2. Conditions and Symptoms OS Version: iOS 26 Initial State: iPhone is in a sleep state Call Type: An unsolicited(unknown number) VoIP incoming call where the CXCallUpdate's remoteHandle is set to either nil or [[CXHandle alloc] initWithType:CXHandleTypePhoneNumber value:@""] Symptoms: After answering the VoIP call by sliding the button, selecting the "More" (…) button displayed on the CallKit screen does not launch our application's UIExtension (custom UI), and the iPhone instead stay to the CallKit screen. 3. Previous Behavior (Up to iOS 18) Up to iOS 18, even when remoteHandle was set to an empty string using the following code, the application would transition normally from "More" after answering an incoming call from a sleep state. CXCallUpdate *update = [[CXCallUpdate alloc] init]; update.remoteHandle = [[CXHandle alloc] initWithType:CXHandleTypePhoneNumber value:@""]; [provider reportNewIncomingCallWithUUID:uuid update:update completion:completion]; 4. Unsuccessful Attempts to Resolve The issue remained unresolved after changing the handling for unsolicited(unknown number) incoming calls as follows: CXCallUpdate *update = [[CXCallUpdate alloc] init]; update.remoteHandle = nil; // Set remoteHandle to nil [provider reportNewIncomingCallWithUUID:uuid update:update completion:completion]; 5. Workaround (Temporary) The problem can be resolved, and the application can transition successfully, by setting a dummy numerical value (e.g., "0") for the value in remoteHandle using the following code: CXCallUpdate *update = [[CXCallUpdate alloc] init]; update.remoteHandle = [[CXHandle alloc] initWithType:CXHandleTypePhoneNumber value:@"0"]; // Set a dummy numerical value [provider reportNewIncomingCallWithUUID:uuid update:update completion:completion]; 6. Additional Information If remoteHandle is correctly set with the caller's number (i.e., not an unsolicited(unknown number) call; e.g., value:@"1234567890"), the application transitions normally from the "More" button after answering an incoming call from a sleep state, even in iOS 26. The above issue does not occur when answering incoming calls while the iPhone is in an active state (not sleeping). 7. Questions Have there been any other reports of similar behavior? Should this be considered a bug in CallKit for iOS 26? Should I make file a new Feedback report? Is there a suitable method to resolve this issue when the caller ID is unsolicited (nil or an empty string)? This problem significantly impacts user operations as end-users are unable to perform essential in-app actions such as hold or transfer after answering an unsolicited(unknown number) call from a sleep state. We are eager to find an urgent solution and would appreciate any information or advice you can provide. Thank you for your assistance.

Install both Motiv Audio and Motiv Video apps from the App Store. Open and use the Motiv Audio app. Remove audio app from background. Open Motiv Video app. Observe that the Motiv Audio app crashes. Both apps are checking Free available space. Both app are using Audio Engine

Hey there, We are being incorrectly blocked by Time Limits since the iOS 26 update released earlier this year. We are receiving complaints from parents that set a screentime limit for "All apps", and then add an exception for us, that they are still getting blocked by the OS after a certain period of time. While we originally thought this was fixed in 26.1, we have recently been made aware it still occurs. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there something we can do from our side to protect ourselves from this? Telling customers to remove their "All app" limit isn't really practical given our customer base, so we're looking to see if there's something on Apple's end or our end that can alleviate this.

I’m configuring App Clip launch behavior and would appreciate some clarification. In my setup, the App Clip launch URL is the same as the deep link used to open the full app. Both are configured in the Apple App Site Association (AASA) file. Observed behavior: Scanning a QR code with this URL correctly launches the App Clip. Tapping the same URL when it’s shared (for example, via Messages) launches the full app via the deep link instead of the App Clip experience. I’m reviewing the documentation here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appclip/configuring-the-launch-experience-of-your-app-clip#Choose-App-Clip-experiences-you-want-to-support The table mentions that an App Clip can be invoked via “A shared link to an App Clip in the Messages app.” However, when I tap the shared link in Messages, the deep link experience is triggered instead of the App Clip. My questions are: Is this behavior expected when the App Clip URL and the app’s deep link URL are the same? Does launching an App Clip from a shared Messages link require a distinct URL or additional configuration beyond what’s in the AASA file? Are there specific constraints or priorities between universal links for the full app and App Clip invocation in this scenario? Any clarification or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

However, when both the iPhone and the Apple Watch support the second-generation UWB chip (i.e., deviceCapabilities.supportsExtendedDistanceMeasurement = true), the code fails to work, and the distance does not update — meaning the real-time distance between the devices is not displayed. Expectation: I hope this issue can be resolved soon, as it is impacting my app. The problem persists in the latest iOS 26.2, and has yet to be fixed.

I created in my Objective-c project the AgeRange check for a special function. It is working well on an iPhone. Now I used my Mac and added my app to the TestFlight on my macOS Tahoe 26.1 Here it is directly crashing. But how can I debug an Application which is created for iPhone and iPad with Xcode? I cannot use the target myMac when running a debugging mode. So how is the debugging working for such Apps?

We first discovered this issue in our own product, but we were able to reproduce it even when using Apple’s official demo: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/alarmkit/scheduling-an-alarm-with-alarmkit Reproduction Steps: Set an alarm on iOS 26.1 using AlarmKit. Upgrade the device to iOS 26.2 beta 3 or later. The alarm will no longer ring. Based on our testing, versions prior to 26.2 beta 2 do not exhibit this issue, so it appears that something introduced in beta 3 has caused the regression. The results are as follows: iOS 26.1 → iOS 26.2 beta 2 or earlier: Alarms ring normally iOS 26.1 / iOS 26.2 beta 2 → iOS 26.2 beta 3 / iOS 26.2 RC: Alarms fail to ring iOS 26.2 beta 3 → iOS 26.2 RC: Alarms ring normally This issue is critical. Users currently on iOS 26.1 may experience alarms failing to ring after updating their system, which can cause real-life disruptions (e.g., being late for work). We strongly recommend addressing this as soon as possible. Xcode Version: Version 26.1.1 (17B100) Feedback ID: FB21273655

I am trying to port my sandboxed macOS app completely over to iOS using a Catalyst target. In my macOS app, I use 'SwiftySandboxFileAccess' package to add a symlink to '~/Library/PDF Services' so that the 'share to my app' menuItem shows up in the macOS Print Panel (in the PDF menu). It is critical for the function of my app to have this work on macOS. In the Catalyst target, I am having problems gaining access to '~/Library'. I have tried having the user select the folder, but the picker always returns 'canceled'. I have a test app that illustrates this. The test app tries to coax the user into selecting the library folder and then it is supposed to bookmark the location, but I am unable to get this far. As an aside, macOS should probably automatically add an entry to the Print Panel when the app includes PDF as a document type in XCode; it would save a lot of hassle and avoid having to go outside of the sandbox. However, I cannot wait for that. Hopefully someone can help. Download Test App from iCloud (If you have problems downloading the file, it might be because of some iCloud share setting that I am not aware of. Just tell me and I'll figure something out.)
