Hi! I am moving a contact management app (Contact Clearout) to CNContactStore. For users to have full info when choosing between duplicates they need the creation and modification dates. I don't want to have to use an extra access to ABAddressBook just to get these and I can see they are on the CNContact objects. How to do I get these values? Thanks

I'm using ShieldActionExtention to make a HTTP request to a server when a user selects one of the buttons on their app shield. The apps are shielded, but nothing happens when I press one of the shield buttons. There is no message on the server signaling an HTTP request and nothing is printed to the XCode console while in debug mode. Here is my code for my Shield Action Extention // ShieldActionExtension.swift // ShieldAction // // import Foundation import UIKit import SwiftUI import ManagedSettings // Override the functions below to customize the shield actions used in various situations. // The system provides a default response for any functions that your subclass doesn't override. // Make sure that your class name matches the NSExtensionPrincipalClass in your Info.plist. class ShieldActionExtension: ShieldActionDelegate { override func handle(action: ShieldAction, for application: ApplicationToken, completionHandler: @escaping (ShieldActionResponse) -> Void) { print(action) let deviceID = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: UserDefaultKeys.userID.rawValue)! Task{ do{ print("sending to server") try await PlayerLosesGame(playerID: deviceID) completionHandler(.close) } catch { print("error occured on the shield") completionHandler(.none) } } } override func handle(action: ShieldAction, for webDomain: WebDomainToken, completionHandler: @escaping (ShieldActionResponse) -> Void) { print(action) let deviceID = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: UserDefaultKeys.userID.rawValue)! Task{ do{ print("sending to server") try await PlayerLosesGame(playerID: deviceID) completionHandler(.close) } catch { print("error occured on the shield") completionHandler(.none) } } } override func handle(action: ShieldAction, for category: ActivityCategoryToken, completionHandler: @escaping (ShieldActionResponse) -> Void) { print(action) let deviceID = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: UserDefaultKeys.userID.rawValue)! Task{ do{ print("sending to server") try await PlayerLosesGame(playerID: deviceID) completionHandler(.close) } catch { print("error occured on the shield") completionHandler(.none) } } //completionHandler(.close) } func PlayerLosesGame(playerID: String) async throws{ let url = URL(string: ServerConnection.GetWebsite() + "game/find?playerID="+playerID)! var request = URLRequest(url: url) request.httpMethod = "GET" print("trying this out") let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(for: request) } } I believe all my targets are set up correctly and should be working. Why is nothing happening?

Hello, In one of our apps we use DeviceActivityReportExtension to show the user how much screen time is remaining. The calculation is working as expected, but we have noticed that the labels in our ScreenTimeBriefReport are not localized to the device language. Example: Device with language set to Swedish App fully translated to English and Swedish Result: All labels in app are using the Swedish translations, except the strings in our ScreenTimeBriefReport instance. These labels are using the English localization. I've verified it's using the English localization from our Localizable.xcstrings file. I tried logging device language from our ScreenTimeBriefReport instance, but I could not see anything in Console.app. I guess this is intentional so no sensitive user information can be extracted. Is this a known feature or bug? If it's the latter, is there a known workaround? Sincerely, César

Hi, I'm trying to implement WeatherKit for the first time and I am seeing this error when calling for the weather: Failed to generate jwt token for: com.apple.weatherkit.authservice with error: Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" and Encountered an error when fetching weather data subset; location=<+51.57750785,-2.08241362> +/- 6.55m (speed -1.00 mps / course -1.00) @ 11/01/2025, 11:50:45 Greenwich Mean Time, error=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors 2 Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" I have: Enabled the WeatherKit capability in my iOS app in XCode Added Weatherkit to the AppID in the developer portal Any suggestions what else I can check?

Hey, I’m having some issues with DeviceActivitySchedule and DeviceActivityMonitor. I want to create a schedule that blocks apps (by family control) when it starts. However, even when the schedule is supposed to start on this iPhone, nothing happens, and no logs are being recorded main target: // TestView_.swift // Sloth // // Created by on 11/01/2025. // import SwiftUI import DeviceActivity import FamilyControls import ManagedSettings struct TestView_: View { var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 20) { Text("Test DeviceActivityMonitor") .font(.title) Button("Start test mon") { let now = Date() let start = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .minute, value: 2, to: now)! let end = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .minute, value: 20, to: now)! print("thd") DeviceScheduleTester().scheduleTestActivity(startDate: start, endDate: end) } } .padding() } } extension DeviceActivityName { static let daily = DeviceActivityName("daily") } DeviceActivityMonitor: class DeviceScheduleTester { private let center = DeviceActivityCenter() func scheduleTestActivity(startDate: Date, endDate: Date) { let calendar = Calendar.current let startComponents = calendar.dateComponents([.hour, .minute], from: startDate) let endComponents = calendar.dateComponents([.hour, .minute], from: endDate) // Tworzymy schedule let schedule = DeviceActivitySchedule( intervalStart: startComponents, intervalEnd: endComponents, repeats: true ) do { try center.startMonitoring(.daily, during:schedule) print("startMonit /(\(schedule))") } catch { print("ghfgh") } } } struct TestView__Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { TestView_() } } DeviceActivityMonitor target: // BlockingAppsMonitorExtension // // Created by on 10/01/2025. import DeviceActivity import FamilyControls import ManagedSettings import os let logger = Logger() public class BlockingAppsMonitor: DeviceActivityMonitor { private let store = ManagedSettingsStore() public override func intervalDidStart(for activity: DeviceActivityName) { super.intervalDidStart(for: activity) print("Rozpoczęcie interwału blokowania \(activity.rawValue)") logger.info("intervalDidStart") startBlocking() } public override func intervalDidEnd(for activity: DeviceActivityName) { super.intervalDidEnd(for: activity) print("Zakończenie interwału blokowania \(activity.rawValue)") logger.info("intervalDidend") stopBlocking() } @discardableResult private func startBlocking() -&gt; Int { print("number of unique apps") return 51 store.shield.applicationCategories = .all() // return exceptions.count } private func stopBlocking() { store.shield.applicationCategories = nil store.shield.applications = nil } } INB4: In both files are added family controls Secent file is added in DeviceActivityMonitor target. Apple answer please?

After transferring the App ownership to a different account, if you update the app on iOS, two identical apps will show up in Settings > Screen Time. Users can't control the blocking settings from before the update - the only fix is to restart the phone. After the next execution of manageStore.shield.applications, users still can't manually disable the restrictions - their only option is to uninstall and reinstall the app. I believe this is related to how Screen Time API's authentication works - it's not just tied to the app's bundle ID, but also linked to the developer account's organization ID. Any suggestions for a clean solution that would allow smooth app updates after the transfer without running into these issues?

I currently create a AppIntent that contains a custom AppEntity, it shows like this struct GetTimerIntent: AppIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Get Timer" @Parameter(title: "Timer") var timer: TimerEntity func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { .result(value: timerText(timer.entity)) } static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Get time of \(\.$timer)") } func timerText(_ timer: ETimer) -> String { // Implementation Folded } } struct TimerEntity: AppEntity { var entity: ETimer static let defaultQuery: TimerQuery = .init() static var typeDisplayRepresentation: TypeDisplayRepresentation { TypeDisplayRepresentation(name: "Timer") } var id: UUID { entity.identifier } var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation { DisplayRepresentation(title: "\(entity.title)") } } To get the timers, I create a TimerQuery type to fetch them from SwiftData containers. struct TimerQuery: EntityQuery, Sendable { func entities(for identifiers: [UUID]) async throws -> [TimerEntity] { print(identifiers) let context = ModelContext(ModelMigration.sharedContainer) let descriptor = FetchDescriptor<ETimer>( predicate: #Predicate { identifiers.contains($0.identifier) }, sortBy: [.init(\.index)] ) let timers = try context.fetch(descriptor) print(timers.map(\.title)) return timers.map { TimerEntity(entity: $0) } } } Everything looks make sense since I code it. When I'm testing, the console jump No ConnectionContext found for 105553169752832 and I can't get my datas. How can I solve this issue?

Hi There, My app displays both daily and hourly forecast information, as consumed from the Weatherkit API. I would also like to let my users know when the forecast was generated/issued. The reason being, if a forecast was issued 1-2 hours in the past for example, then the user(s) will know to refresh the weather forecast for the latest information soon. Looking through the docs, I don't see any way of accessing this information. I would expect it to be available on the hourlyForecast.metadata property. Does anyone know if it's possible to obtain the 'issued time' of the forecast? (both hourly and daily). Thanks

I am trying to create a lockscreen widget that is a deepink to a page in my app, but I am getting an error once building the widget itself (building the app works). Currently, the app is on my phone as well as the widget on my lockscreen, but the widget only goes to either my homepage or the page I was last on if the app wasn't fully closed.

I'm working on adding CFBundleDocumentTypes to my Info.plist so that a user can share an image from other apps on their device and have it open inside my iPhone app. I seem to be able to get this to work for sharing a single photo from the Photos app, but not for (1) multiple photos from the Photos app or (2) images from Safari. One thing that makes this difficult is that my changes to Info.plist sometimes have no effect. I can remove CFBundleDocumentTypes and still see the icon, for example. Or I can add a new accepted UTI, but it has no effect. I've tried cleaning and rebuilding, deleting and reinstalling the app...no success. I tried in the simulator, too, and even Erase Content and Settings didn't force changes to be applied. I'm not sure what else to try here. Anyway, I'd like my app to appear in the Share sheet for photo(s) from the Photos app, Mail and Safari, in particular, but really from any app that supports sharing photos. I can share the config that seemed to work, but since changing it doesn't always have an effect, I can't guarantee that this was the one that worked. At the moment, it doesn't work, but I'm not sure why. Here it is: &lt;key&gt;CFBundleDocumentTypes&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleTypeIconFiles&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array/&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleTypeName&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Image&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleTypeRole&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Viewer&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;LSHandlerRank&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Alternate&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;LSItemContentTypes&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.data&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.jpeg&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.png&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.image&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.gif&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.url&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.content&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace&lt;/key&gt; &lt;true/&gt; In my code, I also defined the following method in my SceneDelegate (though I think the problem is just with Info.plist): func scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts URLContexts: Set&lt;UIOpenURLContext&gt;) { Here are my questions: How do I make sure that my changes to Info.plist apply? Is there a cache somewhere that I have to force to clear? This is the trickiest part of this, because I can't reliably try an experiment and see if it worked. Adding the specific image UTI’s (public.jpeg, public.png) seemed to help, even though those types should conform to public.image, which conforms to public.data and public.content. Is it actually necessary to specify those? If the user selects multiple photos in the Photos app, my app doesn’t appear, but other third-party apps on my phone do. How can I support multiple photos? This configuration doesn't reliably show my app for Safari images - what do I need to do to make that happen? I had to use “public.data” when I briefly had Safari sharing working, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get a UTI from UIOpenURLContext. Right now, my code just tries to load the data as an image and aborts if UIImage(data:) returns nil. Is this a safe way of doing this? Is there a way to get the UTI for the data?

Subject/Title: Critical SKAdNetwork Attribution Failures (Bug Type: 237, Failure Type: 1201 in ASDErrorDomain) Issue Summary We are encountering repeated SKAdNetwork attribution failures (failureType: 1201 in ASDErrorDomain) for ad impression events processed through the ad network mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork. These failures are causing significant revenue losses, as ad impressions are not being properly attributed to installs. The issue occurs across multiple campaigns and involves both SKAdNetwork API 3.0 and 4.0, suggesting a systemic problem with attribution validation or network communication. This problem is critical as it disrupts advertisers’ ability to track conversions, optimize campaigns, and allocate budgets effectively. Technical Details Key Logs: Below are anonymized samples of the failed SKAdNetwork events: Log Sample 1 (Failure): { "bug_type": "237", "timestamp": "2025-01-07 22:49:15.00 -0500", "os_version": "iPhone OS 18.2.1 (22C161)", "roots_installed": 0, "incident_id": "78523BD9-1F58-4738-B526-8A8A63203214" } { "advertisementStoryId": "3D2E7EBB-1A57-4DF8-9375-2C465F423038", "apiVersion": "3.0", "eventType": "adImpression", "resultType": "finalized", "anonymous": true, "failureType": 1201, "failureDomain": "ASDErrorDomain", "clientEventId": "0F456623-584F-4913-BBD3-C3FD1219D104", "os": "iOS", "topic": "xp_amp_skad_perf", "adType": "app", "adNetworkId": "mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork", "eventTime": 1736305200000, "osBuildNumber": "22C161", "hardwareFamily": "iPhone", "api": "SKAdNetwork" } Log Sample 2 (Failure): { "bug_type": "237", "timestamp": "2025-01-07 22:49:15.00 -0500", "os_version": "iPhone OS 18.2.1 (22C161)", "roots_installed": 0, "incident_id": "0CBF612D-F0D9-449E-A34E-DE2DB92BEC0D" } { "advertisementStoryId": "946E568C-D2C1-478F-BFF3-4996C48F9B39", "apiVersion": "3.0", "eventType": "adImpression", "resultType": "finalized", "anonymous": true, "failureType": 1201, "failureDomain": "ASDErrorDomain", "clientEventId": "1A3D48FB-4452-4FD8-BB25-1195470A53DC", "os": "iOS", "topic": "xp_amp_skad_perf", "adType": "app", "adNetworkId": "mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork", "eventTime": 1736298000000, "osBuildNumber": "22C161", "hardwareFamily": "iPhone", "api": "SKAdNetwork" } Log Sample 3 (Success Example for Comparison): { "bug_type": "237", "timestamp": "2025-01-07 22:49:15.00 -0500", "os_version": "iPhone OS 18.2.1 (22C161)", "roots_installed": 0, "incident_id": "BFEAC86B-8195-4DB0-96FF-2028107256AD" } { "advertisementStoryId": "946E568C-D2C1-478F-BFF3-4996C48F9B39", "apiVersion": "3.0", "eventType": "adImpression", "resultType": "finalized", "anonymous": true, "clientEventId": "F6265488-E0FB-448A-A406-3F7254BCA9D7", "os": "iOS", "topic": "xp_amp_skad_perf", "adType": "app", "adNetworkId": "mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork", "eventTime": 1736294400000, "osBuildNumber": "22C161", "hardwareFamily": "iPhone", "api": "SKAdNetwork" } Failure Details: Failure Type: 1201 Failure Domain: ASDErrorDomain Ad Network ID: mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork API Versions Affected: 3.0, 4.0 Timeframe of Failures: All logs occur within 2025-01-07 22:00:00 UTC to 23:00:00 UTC. Environment: OS Version: iOS 18.2.1 (Build 22C161). Device Type: iPhone (hardwareFamily: iPhone). App Configuration: Includes the ad network ID in the Info.plist under SKAdNetworkItems. Impact Details Financial Loss: Based on failure rates, we estimate $20–$65/day per advertiser for small campaigns and $75–$375/day per advertiser for larger campaigns. If 100 advertisers are affected, daily losses range from $2,000–$37,500. Over a week, losses could exceed $70,000 to $262,500 or more. Operational Impact: Advertisers cannot track installs or optimize campaigns, leading to inefficient ad spending and potential budget reallocation to other networks. Damaged trust between advertisers and the ad network. Reputation Risk: Continued failures harm the credibility of the SKAdNetwork framework, critical in a post-ATT (App Tracking Transparency) ecosystem. Steps to Reproduce Serve an ad impression through the ad network mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork. Monitor SKAdNetwork attribution for that impression. Observe repeated failures (failureType: 1201) despite the resultType: finalized status. Recommendations for Investigation Attribution Timeout: Verify if these failures stem from delayed responses or missed attribution windows. Ad Network Configuration: Confirm the ad network’s integration complies with SKAdNetwork API 3.0 and 4.0 requirements. Infrastructure Review: Investigate potential bottlenecks or failures in Apple’s attribution servers (ASDErrorDomain) or communication delays.

Hello, I have the app localised to many languages and its variants, like English from Australia or Dutch from Belgium. My phone language is en_UK and the region is configured to ES. I cannot find a way to get the regional language code (ex: en_au, nl_be), it always gets simplified to the language (ex: en, nl), or adds my device region (ex: en-ES, nl-ES). Here I attach some examples while I have the app on en_au Locale.preferredLanguages ▿ 3 elements - 0 : "en-ES" - 1 : "ca-ES" - 2 : "es-ES" Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations ▿ 1 element - 0 : "en" NSLocale.current.languageCode ▿ Optional&lt;String&gt; - some : "en" Locale.current ▿ en_001@rg=eszzzz (fixed en_001@rg=eszzzz) - identifier : "en_001@rg=eszzzz" - locale : "fixed en_001@rg=eszzzz" Locale.autoupdatingCurrent.languageCode ▿ Optional&lt;String&gt; - some : "en" Locale.current.languageCode ▿ Optional&lt;String&gt; - some : "en" Locale.preferredLanguages[0] "en-ES"

In the mobile application we are developing we need to use the "SMS and MMS Message Filtering" functionality to analyze SMS messages received from unknown senders. The questions that arise about the use of this functionality are: Does this functionality allow these messages to be sent to solutions deployed in Microsoft Azure?. If the previous case is confirmed, could we use Rest APIs that we already have deployed in Azure?. If it were not possible to configure access to an existing Rest API, what would be the definition of the API to be implemented in the cloud for this service?. And finally, how would the configuration of access permissions to this API deployed in the cloud be?.

I experimented a lot with Live Caller ID when it first appeared with iOS 18 Beta. Now I'm starting to pick it up again and have immediately noticed some detrimental differences between the behavior observed when it was in beta status to how it currently behaves with iOS 18.3. The main difference is caching - if a call is made and data from a live call id lookup displayed on the call screen, then if the call is made again immediately then that data is re-fetched from the server. And it takes a long time too, about 5 or 6 seconds before the data is displayed in the call screen (with the beta it took about 3 seconds). In the data set cache_expiry_minutes is set to 50, yet it's not being honored, there's no caching occurring at all. Yet this did used to occur several months ago when the feature was in beta. What's happened to caching, why is it no longer working when it used to? Another change is there used to be a notification displayed when a call was blocked, this no longer is displayed. Is this an intentional change or a bug?

I wanted to add the above capability to my up was checking in Background mode, but no availability. How can I add it.

I have an App Intent that returns a MyEntity value with the following properties: struct MyEntity: AppEntity { @Property(title: "Title") var title: String? @Property(title: "Image") var image: IntentFile? } I created a Shortcut that takes the output value of this intent and passes it as the input to the Send Message action. When I tap the MyEntity parameter in the message action, it shows to be of Type MyEntity. Below that, I can select 1 of 3 options: MyEntity, Title, or Image. When I run the shortcut, a new message compose window appears with the following behavior depending on the selected option: MyEntity - the message draft is empty Title - the message draft shows the title string Image - the message draft shows the image My expected and desired result when MyEntity is selected would be a message draft populated with the image and the title string as text. How would I achieve this? Is it possible? I've experimented with conforming MyEntity to Transferable. That's enabled use cases such as passing the MyEntity input as Type Image for example. Do I need to create a custom UTType to represent MyEntity, or is that unrelated to my issue? I haven't explored this yet but seems potentially related!

Not sure if my question is weird or not, but I didnt find any documentation about an sdks access to an apps documents directory. Im assuming that because sdk is part of the sandbox that it can access and read from the documents directory? i.e. if i used NSFileManager.defaultManager.URLForDirectory( directory = NSCachesDirectory, inDomain = NSUserDomainMask, appropriateForURL = null, create = false, error = null, ) to write a file called "file.txt", then any sdk my app used has the ability to access the contents of said directory? If yes, why isnt this considered something more worth mentioning? usually in filemanager tutorials they never warn about this. FYI: Im asking more for iOS and iPadOs then MacOs.

Hi everyone, I have a simple question regarding App Intents. I have an intent that defines a few parameters, one of which is a Date. When the user is prompted for input, I’d like the date picker to start at a specific value (e.g., tomorrow) instead of the default current date. Is there a way to set an initial/default value for the date parameter in an App Intent? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

I have a depended watch app bundled with my iOS app. // ... <key>WKRunsIndependentlyOfCompanionApp</key> <false/> // ... My code: guard WCSession.isSupported() else { return } let session = WCSession.default session.delegate = self session.activate() public func session(_ session: WCSession, activationDidCompleteWith activationState: WCSessionActivationState, error: Error?) { // ... if (session.activationState == .activated) { let log = Log(isPaired: session.isPaired, isWatchAppInstalled: session.isWatchAppInstalled) uploadLogToServer(log) } // ... } and also: guard WCSession.isSupported() else { return } let session = WCSession.default guard session.activationState == .activated, session.isWatchAppInstalled else { return } do { try session.updateApplicationContext(...) } catch { uploadErrorToServer(error) } What I've observed is that when I query the logs in the server's database, I get entities with isPaired = false and isWatchAppInstalled = true. Also, when I query the errors I see deviceNotPaired errors. So my question is, does Should WCSession.isPaired property be true before accessing WCSession.isWatchAppInstalled property ?
