Description
The Shortcut Automation Trigger Transaction frequently times out, ultimately causing the shortcut automation to fail. Please see the attached trace for details.
Additionally, the Trigger is activated even when the Transaction is declined.

Since watchOS 26, watch face sharing has stopped working completely.
I tested the following:
Sharing via CLKWatchFaceLibrary
Other public APIs
Sharing via iMessage
In all cases, the watch face cannot be reinstalled after being shared.
This issue is not limited to my app. Large third-party apps such as Facer and other major watch face platforms are also affected, which suggests this is a system-level change or bug.
Everything worked correctly before watchOS 26.
Has Apple officially acknowledged this issue?
Is there a recommended place to report or track this bug?

Hi,
We are facing the issue of commissioning our Matter device to google home through iOS device will be 100% failed.
Here is our test summary regarding the issue:
TestCase1 [OK]: Commissioning our Matter 1.4.0 device to Google Nest Hub 2 by Android device (see log
DoorWindow_2.0.1_Google_Success.txt
)
TestCase2 [NG]: Commissioning Matter 1.4.0 device to Google Nest Hub 2 by iPhone13 or iPhone16 (see log
DoorWindow_2.0.1_Google_by_iOS_NG.txt
)
TestCase3 [OK]: Commissioning our Matter 1.3.0 device to Google Nest Hub 2 by iPhone13
In TestCase2, we noticed that device was first commissioned to iOS(Apple keychain) then iOS opened a commissioning window again to commission it in Google’s ecosystem, and the device was failed at above step 2, so we also tried:
Commissioning the device to Apple Home works as expected, next share the device to Google Home app on iOS, this also fails.
Commissioning the device to Apple Home works as expected, next share the device to Google Home app on Android, this works as expected and device pops up in Google home of iOS as well.
Could you help check what's the issue of TestCase2?
Append the environment of our testing:
NestHub 2 version
Google Home APP version

Hello,
I am working on a cross‑platform application that uses libiconv to convert strings to/from Unicode. I need to modify the existing code for compatibility with macOS. However, the call to iconv() fails with an unclear errno value (92) when using "WCHAR_T":
std::wstring ConvertToWchar(const std::string& iconvCodeSet, const std::string_view str)
{
iconv_t conv = iconv_open("WCHAR_T//TRANSLIT", iconvCodeSet.c_str());
if (conv == (iconv_t)-1)
{
std::cerr << "iconv_open() failed" << std::endl;
return {};
}
std::wstring out(str.size(), L'\0');
auto inPtr = (char*)str.data();
size_t inSize = str.size();
auto outPtr = (char*)out.data();
size_t outSize = out.size() * sizeof(wchar_t);
if (iconv(conv, &inPtr, &inSize, &outPtr, &outSize) == (size_t)-1)
{
std::cerr << "iconv() failed. errno = " << errno << std::endl;
return {};
}
if (iconv(conv, nullptr, &inSize, &outPtr, &outSize) == (size_t)-1)
{
std::cerr << "iconv() failed. errno = " << errno << std::endl;
return {};
}
iconv_close(conv);
return out;
}
int main()
{
std::string str1((const char*)u8"ΟΔΥΣΣΕΥΣ");
std::wstring str2 = ConvertToWchar("UTF-8", str1);
if (str2.empty())
return 1;
std::cout << "converted" << std::endl;
return 0;
}
Using "UTF-32" works fine, but "WCHAR_T//TRANSLIT" fails.
What is the recommended way to convert wchar_t strings using libiconv?
Why does the conversion fail with "WCHAR_T//TRANSLIT"?
Thank you in advance!
I am developing the electronic part of product, it includes a Find-My features. I saw some forum that testing Find-My feature needs a CSR and testing token. Can anyone teach me how to apply CSR and testing token step by step?
Thank you very much.

We integrated DeviceCheck framework into our app to prevent fraudulent call to our app service around one year ago.
Recently, we received a few cases related to this function over Christmas Eve period.
Based on the logs we have, it indicated both the following two functions returned errors. But we don't have the exactly errors logged and now we cannot replicate.
DCAppAttestService.shared.attestKey()
DCAppAttestService.shared.generateAssertion()
The other finding we have is some users reporting this issue recently upgraded their devices from iOS 18 to iOS 26.
So we are suspecting it's due to either the OS upgrading, or Apple's app attest service degrading.
Anyone encountered the similar issues before, or have any idea regarding the root cause? Thanks!
Hi all,
I’m building an iOS app that uses CoreNFC to communicate with a YubiKey 5C NFC over ISO14443 / ISO7816 and send APDUs (e.g. select an applet by AID).
Environment
• Device: iPhone 13 Pro Max
• iOS: 18.6.2
• Xcode: 26.1.1 (17B100)
• API: NFCTagReaderSession(pollingOption: .iso14443) using NFCTag.iso7816
What I’m trying to do
1. Start NFCTagReaderSession(.iso14443)
2. Detect tag → connect
3. Send ISO7816 APDUs (SELECT AID, etc.)
Issue A — Entitlements / signing
If I add ISO7816-related NFC entitlements, Xcode fails signing with an error like:
• “Provisioning profile … doesn’t match entitlements file value for com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.formats”
When I inspect the generated .mobileprovision, I only see something like:
• com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.formats = [NDEF, TAG, PACE]
…and I do not see an ISO7816 / select-identifiers entitlement (and the Developer portal UI doesn’t appear to let me enable it).
Questions:
1. Is ISO7816 access under com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.formats restricted and requires Apple approval? If yes, what’s the correct request process?
2. Is com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.iso7816.select-identifiers required for sending ISO7816 APDUs? If yes, how do developers obtain it / enable it for an App ID + provisioning profiles?
3. What is the Apple-supported way to configure entitlements/profiles for CoreNFC ISO7816 APDU communication with a token like a YubiKey?
Issue B — Runtime NFC error
Separately (even when I can run), I intermittently/consistently get:
• NFCError Code=104 (“Tag is not connected”)
This occurs after the tag is detected/connected when trying to establish a session or send APDUs.
I’ve verified:
• No phone case interference
• Correct placement
• Consistent detection “tick” from the phone for "Ready to Scan" prompt after tapping YubiKey 5C NFC device.
If helpful, I can share:
• A minimal sample project
• The exact entitlements I tried
• Console logs around the Code 104 failure
Thanks!

We've often observed connectivity issues from our VPN app that can only be remedied by removing the VPN profile. It happens to a small but significant amount of our users, this often happens more when the app is updated, but the VPN profile corruption can happen without that too.
The behavior we're observing is that any socket opened by the packet tunnel process just fails to send any data whatsoever. Stopping and restarting the packet tunnel does not help. The only solution is to remove the profile and create a new one. We believe our app is not the only one suffering from this issue as other VPN apps have added a specific button to refresh their VPN profile, which seemingly deletes and re-created the VPN configuration profile. Previously, we've caught glimpses of this in a sysdiagnose, but that was a while ago and we found nothing of interest. Alas, the sysdiagnose was not captured on a device with the network extension diagnostic profile (it was not a developer device).
I would love to get technical support with this, as our bug reports have gone unanswered for long enough, yet we are still struggling with this issue. But of course, there is no minimum viable xcodeproject that reproduces this. Is there anything we can feasibly do to help with this issue? Is it even an acknowledged issue?
Approx Dec 13th 2025 til now (Dec 29th) I noticed my APNS dropped off to nothing daily. When I try to send APNS alerts on the developer site tool it always returns "discarded as device was offline" for multiple devices which I know are online.
When I try pushing through my VPS (as I always have without any code changes for months) I get status codes of 400 and 403 mostly and a few 200's without it delivering also.
I created a new sandbox certificate just in case it was that but still no luck, I get the same results. Ive checked for any firewall issues and I see the following on my VPS:
nslookup gateway.push.apple.com
Server: 1.1.1.1
Address: 1.1.1.1#53
** server can't find gateway.push.apple.com: NXDOMAIN
This seems like a second issue but not the primary issue that the portal is reporting.
Any ideas what to check? Im at a loss as to why its not working at all through apples test notification portal on my developer account. It seems thats the initial issue I need to solve.
Thank you for any ideas/help
We're building a parental control app using FamilyControls (.child authorization). Our architecture:
Parent sends pause command → Firestore + FCM
Child receives push → NotificationService Extension triggers main app
Main app sets ManagedSettings Shields
Problem: If child disables Notifications in Settings and force-quits the app, we cannot enforce Shields.
What we've tried:
Firestore Realtime Listener (works only when app is running)
DeviceActivityMonitor (intervalDidStart/End only triggers at schedule boundaries, eventDidReachThreshold requires explicit app selection via FamilyActivityPicker)
Question: Is there a recommended approach for parental control apps to reliably enforce Shields when the child has disabled notifications? Or is this a known limitation?

Dear Apple Customer Support,
I’m developing a new Swift iPadOS app and I want the app to run in landscape only (portrait disabled).
In Xcode, under Target > General > Deployment Info > Device Orientation, if I select only Landscape Left and Landscape Right, the app builds successfully, but during upload/validation I receive this message and the upload is blocked:
“Update the Info.plist: Support for all orientations will soon be required.”
Could you please advise what the correct/recommended way is to keep an iPad app locked to landscape only while complying with the current App Store upload requirements?
Is there a specific Info.plist configuration (e.g., UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad) or another setting that should be used?
Thank you,
Hi all. Thanks in advance for any guidance you’re able to offer.
We’ve had an issue reported by multiple customers where, following an iOS update, our app crashes on the next launch. When this happens, users briefly see a split screen: half of the view shows the app background, while the other half is completely black. After this point, the app is unusable.
Here’s what we’ve uncovered so far during our investigation:
We believe this occurs when a user is already signed into the app at the time they install the iOS update. For context, we intentionally do not force users to log out of the app, as it’s primarily used for customer support and assistance. This is a firm business decision and not something we plan to change.
We suspect the issue is related to our Flutter WebView and how it restores or reloads session state following an iOS update. In the past, updating the Flutter version has resolved similar issues, but we are currently on the latest available version.
Once the half-screen issue occurs, all app functionality is blocked. At present, the only workaround is for the user to delete and reinstall the app.
The most frustrating part is that this does not affect all users. Some customers have updated to iOS 26.2 without any issues at all. We’ve been unable to reproduce the problem internally, despite extensive testing and attempts to force the conditions. That said, our IT Director did experience the issue firsthand on his own device.
For our next release, we’re planning to try the following changes, though we won’t know for certain whether they resolve the issue until the update is in the wild.
First, disabling iOS state restoration:
func application(_ application: UIApplication,
shouldSaveApplicationState coder: NSCoder) -> Bool {
return false
}
func application(_ application: UIApplication,
shouldRestoreApplicationState coder: NSCoder) -> Bool {
return false
}
This was recommended to us as it’s apparently a common approach to addressing post-update freezes or broken restore states.
Second, detecting an iOS version change and resetting the WebView / Flutter state on first launch after an update:
let lastOS = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "lastOSVersion")
let currentOS = UIDevice.current.systemVersion
if lastOS != currentOS {
// Clear WebView data
WKWebsiteDataStore.default().removeData(
ofTypes: WKWebsiteDataStore.allWebsiteDataTypes(),
modifiedSince: Date.distantPast,
completionHandler: {}
)
// Force Flutter engine restart
// OR route user through a native splash/login screen
UserDefaults.standard.set(currentOS, forKey: "lastOSVersion")
}
The idea here is to ensure the WebView and Flutter engine start cleanly after an iOS update, rather than attempting to restore potentially incompatible state.
We’d really welcome any ideas, suggestions, or feedback from others who may have encountered something similar. Apologies in advance if any details are vague — I’m not deeply technical, so this is based on the research and guidance we’ve gathered so far.
Thanks again for your time and help,
Chris Brodier

I'm currently collecting real-time heart rate data using HKWorkoutSession. I want to track when the Apple Watch is physically removed from the user's wrist during an active workout.
However, I've noticed that workoutBuilder(_:didCollectDataOf:) continues to be called even after the watch is removed from the wrist.
Is there a way to detect when the Apple Watch is removed from the wrist during an active HKWorkoutSession? Or is this tracking not possible through the HealthKit framework?
Any guidance or alternative approaches would be appreciated.
Hello,
We are developing an iAP2 accessory and encountering an issue during the Identification phase.
Issue:
Authentication: ✅ Successful
Identification: ❌ IdentificationInformation rejected (0x1D03)
Product Plan Status: "Submitted" (in MFi Portal)
What we've verified:
ProductPlanUID matches MFi Portal
All required parameters per R43 Table 101-9 are included
Parameters are in ascending order by ID
Message format appears correct
Observation:
iPhone accepts the message format but still rejects IdentificationInformation, suggesting the issue may be related to Product Plan configuration or status rather than parameter format.
Questions:
Can a Product Plan with status "Submitted" complete iAP2 identification, or does it need to be "Approved"?
Are there any Product Plan configuration requirements that might not be visible in MFi Portal?
Should we configure "Control Message Lists" in Product Plan? (We don't see this option in Portal)
We can provide additional technical details through secure channels if needed.
Thank you for your assistance.

Hello,
We are encountering an issue where invoking our App Clip via a Safari Smart App Banner fails on certain devices, particularly those running iOS 26.
When a user taps "Open" on the Smart App Banner, the App Clip card attempts to load but ultimately fails with ASDErrorDomain Error 507.
The error occurs consistently on specific devices, while other devices function correctly. In some instances, the App Clip card metadata/UI appears momentarily (flashes on the screen) before the error message is displayed and the process terminates.
Has anyone else experienced this specific ASDErrorDomain error? We have already submitted a report via Feedback Assistant, but any insights or workarounds from the community would be appreciated.
Thanks!
So, I was going to make a macOS application that accepts dropped apps. This used to work fine in older macOS versions such as High Sierra. It also works for apps like Script Editor.
But I cannot get my own app, made with either Xcode or Script Editor, receive dropped apps any more.
Mind you, Finder does accept dropping .app items onto my app, so the CFBundleDocumentTypes are fine. And, as I said, it works in High Sierra.
The problem is that some part in AppKit or Core Services filters out apps from the list of dropped URLs before application:openURLs: is invoked.
What's up with that, and how do I make this work again?
I've tried copying all of Script Editor's Info.plist entries to no avail, so there's something more sinister going on here.
