Hello, I’m working on a caller ID app and with the release of iOS 18.2, Apple has introduced the ability to set a third-party app as the default calling app. I have followed the official documentation for this feature and successfully set my app as the default phone app for making and receiving calls. Documentation Reference: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/callkit/preparing-your-app-to-be-the-default-calling-app Now, I’m facing some challenges and need some guidance: Custom UI for Incoming Cellular Calls: Is it possible to show a custom UI when receiving SIM-based cellular calls (not VoIP)? I want to replace the default iOS call screen with my own design when a cellular call is received. Can CallKit allow me to manage and display this custom UI for real cellular calls? Detecting Incoming Cellular Calls: Can I detect incoming SIM-based cellular calls when my app is set as the default calling app? I would like to track and show details of incoming calls (e.g., caller information, call duration) using a custom interface. Displaying Call Data (Call Duration, Recent Calls): Can I show call data (e.g., call duration, recent call history, etc.) for SIM-based cellular calls within my app when it is the default calling app? I need to know if it’s possible to retrieve and display this data in a custom format. Managing Outgoing Cellular Calls: For SIM-based outgoing calls, can I handle the process of initiating the call and then show a custom UI for the call in progress (similar to how VoIP apps manage outgoing calls)? I understand that CallKit can be used to manage the UI for calls, but I’m unsure about the limitations when it comes to real SIM-based cellular calls. Is it possible to implement these features with the current API capabilities, or are there any restrictions I should be aware of when managing cellular network calls? Thanks in advance for your help!

Run on Xcode Unchecked Scheme -> Run -> 'Debug excitable' is fine. But, I need the debug log, how to fix?

Apple Docs mentions that driver should be approved(enabled) in Settings app. I wonder is there any API available to check that driver is not enabled? To my mind, App with driver should have a following flow: Run App Check that driver is(not) enabled Display message(alert) and ask to enable driver in Settings. Optionally: provide shortcut to exact Settings page Unfortunately, it's not obvious how to check that driver is enabled.

On macOS Sequoia, the settings to enable FIFinderSync seem to have gone. I have already figured out that Extensions are no longer in the Privacy & Security section, but they are now at General › Login Items & Extensions. Here there is a Finder section, but that is just for the Finder-Extensions, not the Finder-Sync-Extensions. Those previously did not have their own section and were hidden away in the Added Extensions section that apparently no longer exists. I expect that it has been forgotten when migrating. Where are the settings for this – have they been forgotten?

I've been trying to figure out what the bare minimum is required for HKWorkoutBuilder to create a workout that adds time the appleExerciseTime. I couldn't find the documentation for this. This is my code so far. func createWorkoutSample( expectedActiveEnergyData: [Double], expectedExerciseMinutesData: [Double], calendar: Calendar, startDate: Date ) async throws -> [HKSample] { var testData: [HKSample] = [] let workoutConfiguration = HKWorkoutConfiguration() workoutConfiguration.activityType = .running workoutConfiguration.locationType = .outdoor let results = try await withThrowingTaskGroup(of: HKSample?.self) { group in for (index) in 0..<expectedActiveEnergyData.count { guard let date = calendar.date(byAdding: .day, value: index, to: startDate) else { continue } group.addTask { let builder = HKWorkoutBuilder( healthStore: self.manager.healthStore, configuration: workoutConfiguration, device: .local() ) let endDate = date.addingTimeInterval(expectedExerciseMinutesData[index] * 60) try await builder.beginCollection(at: date) let energyType = HKQuantityType.quantityType( forIdentifier: .activeEnergyBurned )! let energyQuantity = HKQuantity( unit: HKUnit.kilocalorie(), doubleValue: expectedActiveEnergyData[index] ) let energySample = HKQuantitySample( type: energyType, quantity: energyQuantity, start: date, end: endDate ) return try await withCheckedThrowingContinuation { continuation in builder.add([energySample]) { (success, error) in if let error = error { continuation.resume(throwing: error) return } builder.endCollection(withEnd: endDate) { (success, error) in if let error = error { continuation.resume(throwing: error) return } builder.finishWorkout { (workout, error) in if let error = error { continuation.resume(throwing: error) return } continuation.resume(returning: workout) } } } } } } for try await workout in group { if let workout = workout { testData.append(workout) } else { print("Skipping nil workout result.") } } return testData } print("Total samples created: \(results.count)") return results } When I query appleExerciseTime, there are no results. I've looked at the HKWorkoutBuilder documentation, and most of the information expands on adding samples related to the deprecated HKWorkout.

We have in-app purchases live and working fine for standard subscriptions. We also have promotional offers active for existing users (to give existing users a discount as a thank you). Yet, regardless of the user type (existing vs new... we have tested with all types), we get the "Your account is not eligible for this offer" error message when clicking the discounted offer. What is the logic for determining eligibility? I'm trying to debug as it's not clear to me why this message would show up. We are using React Native IAP. In general, how does the eligibility check work? What conditions are being evaluated and compared? And what could break those conditions? I appreciate your help! DDD

I've been working recently on an access card type appllication, where due to requirements HCE must be used. I started with examples from the official documentation and was able to achieve correct communication. The HCE is working on newer versions of iOS, there's only one problem: acquiring new intent assertion. Due to the business requirements our users may need to use our application multiple times in short periods of time (below 10 seconds apart). Is there any possibility to shorten the required 15 seconds before acquiring a new intent assertion? I appreciate any suggestions.

Hello! We currently require the development of an iOS system for encrypting and authorizing photos, videos, voice memos, or other files stored on our devices to a connected USB-C storage. The encrypted files can be accessed through authorization. We have already encrypted and authorized the files to be stored on the app's mobile storage, and cannot directly store them to USB-C (this requirement is based on the Apple camera RroRes, which uses external storage for direct storage). We are seeking technical support from Apple.

I'm using SwiftData with an @Model and am also using an @ModelActor. I've fixed all concurrency issues and have migrated to Swift 6. I am getting a console error that I do not understand how to clear. I get this error in Swift 6 and Swift 5. I do not experience any issue with the app. It seems to be working well. But I want to try to get all issues taken care of. I am using the latest Xcode beta. error: the replacement path doesn't exist: "/var/folders/1q/6jw9d6mn0gx1znh1n19z2v9r0000gp/T/swift-generated-sources/@_swiftmacro_17MyAppName14MyModelC4type18_PersistedPr> opertyfMa.swift"

I am trying to port my application over to CloudKit. My app worked fine before, but then I made scheme of changes and am trying to deploy to a new container. For some reason, the database is not being created after I create the container through Xcode. I think I have configured the app correctly and a container was created, but no records were deployed. My app current stores data locally on individual devices just fine but they don't sync with each other. That's why I would like to use CloudKit. See screenshot from Xcode of where I have configured the container. I also have background notifications enabled. Also see screenshot from console where the container has been created, but no records have been. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

PLATFORM AND VERSION: iOS Development environment: Xcode 15.4, macOS 14.4 PROBLEM iOS VERSION: iOS 17.2.1 ~ 18.1.1 DEVELOPMENT LANGUAGE: Object-C Case-ID: 10969723 （Due to privacy concerns, I have hidden part of the URL and included the complete plain text in the email demo project with Case-ID: 10969723） After our game was launched in Japan, a small number of Japanese users reported that they were unable to enter the game. After our investigation, we confirmed that the request under the yfy-api-oversea.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com domain name failed. iOS NSURLSession API returns the following error: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1000 "無効なURL" UserInfo={_kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=22, NSUnderlyingError=0x3019e8030 {Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1000 "(null)" UserInfo={_NSURLErrorNWPathKey=satisfied (Path is satisfied), interface: en0[802.11], ipv4, ipv6, dns, proxy, uses wifi, _kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=22, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=1}}, _NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey=LocalDataTask .<7>, _NSURLErrorRelatedURLSessionTaskErrorKey=( "LocalDataTask .<7>" ), NSLocalizedDescription=無効なURL, NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://yfy-api-oversea.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/init/info?channel_code=jpxxxxxxxxxxxxxxios&timestamp=1735012505&sign=1617e4cf88b58df2aa90a6b3985a8ac2&game_code=XXXXX, NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://yfy-api-oversea.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/init/info?channel_code=jpxxxxxxxxxxxxxxios&timestamp=1735012505&sign=1617e4cf88b58df2aa90a6b3985a8ac2&game_code=XXXXX, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=1}。 We have tried various methods but cannot reproduce this error (Code=-1000). I can provide the following clues： 1、We have checked the server and confirmed that the request did not reach the server, but was intercepted by the iOS client and was not sent. 2、This problem does not seem to have much to do with the iOS system version. The system versions where the problem occurred are widely distributed: 17.2.1、17.7.1、17.5.1、17.6.1、17.7、18.0.1、18.1、18.1.1 e.g. 3、This problem seems to have nothing to do with the device model. The following models have experienced problems: iPhone16、iPhone 16 Pro、iPhone 14、iPhone 14 Plus、iPhone 14 Pro Max、iPhone 13、iPhone11 e.g. 4、By tracking the logs, some users who encountered the problem later recovered and the problem did not occur again（The user IP and iOS system restored by yourself have not changed）. However, this problem persists for some users. Even if the iOS system is upgraded to the latest version, there are still problems. 5、The following two IPs are the IPs of users who encountered this problem (1.73.13.210, 153.252.131.136). But this problem seems to have nothing to do with IP. For some users who restored themselves, their IPs did not change, but the problem no longer occurred. 6、This problem seems to only occur in Japan. Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong have never encountered this situation. 7、It doesn't seem to have anything to do with GET requests. Another login request (https://yfy-api-oversea.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/login/c/place) uses a POST request and will also encounter this error. 8、I wonder if it has something to do with the two symbol "-" in the domain name? I checked Apple documentation and searched online, but couldn't find any more information. This problem cannot be reproduced either. Only technical requests can be initiated. I provided a demo project (see email for Case-ID: 10969723) Thanks.

Hello, we are processing the first network permission request transaction on iOS. We have found that when the CTCellularData is in the kCTCellularDataNotRestricted state and we attempt to perform a network access in the callback function, an exception is reported. How can we resolve this issue? I’ve seen that some solutions on the internet suggest adding a delay of 1 second. Are there any other methods?

I've been trying to setup a successful migration, but it keeps failing with this error: NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate are not reusable and should have a lifecycle tied to a given instance of NSPersistentStore. I can't find any information about this online. I added breakpoints throughout the code in willMigrate, and it originally failed on this line: try? context.save() I removed that, and it still failed. After I reload the app, it doesn't run the migration again and the app loads successfully. I figured since it crashed, it would keep trying, but I guess not. Here's how my migration is setup. enum MigrationV1ToV2: SchemaMigrationPlan { static var schemas: [any VersionedSchema.Type] { [SchemaV1.self, SchemaV2.self] } static var stages: [MigrationStage] { [stage] } static let stage = MigrationStage.custom( fromVersion: SchemaV1.self, toVersion: SchemaV2.self, willMigrate: { context in // Get cycles let cycles = try? context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<SchemaV1.Cycle>()) if let cycles { for cycle in cycles { // Create new recurring objects based on what's in the cycle for income in cycle.income { let recurring = SchemaV2.Recurring(name: income.name, frequency: income.frequency, kind: .income) recurring.addAmount(.init(date: cycle.startDate, amount: income.amount)) context.insert(recurring) } for expense in cycle.expenses { let recurring = SchemaV2.Recurring(name: expense.name, frequency: expense.frequency, kind: .expense) recurring.addAmount(.init(date: cycle.startDate, amount: expense.amount)) context.insert(recurring) } for savings in cycle.savings { let recurring = SchemaV2.Recurring(name: savings.name, frequency: savings.frequency, kind: .savings) recurring.addAmount(.init(date: cycle.startDate, amount: savings.amount)) context.insert(recurring) } for investment in cycle.investments { let recurring = SchemaV2.Recurring(name: investment.name, frequency: investment.frequency, kind: .investment) recurring.addAmount(.init(date: cycle.startDate, amount: investment.amount)) context.insert(recurring) } } //try? context.save() } else { print("The cycles were not able to be fetched.") } }, didMigrate: { context in // Get new recurring objects let newRecurring = try? context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<SchemaV2.Recurring>()) if let newRecurring { for recurring in newRecurring { // Get all recurring with the same name and kind let sameName = newRecurring.filter({ $0.name == recurring.name && $0.kind == recurring.kind }) // Add amount history to recurring object, and then remove matching for match in sameName { recurring.amountHistory.append(contentsOf: match.amountHistory) context.delete(match) } } //try? context.save() } else { print("The new recurring objects could not be fetched.") } } ) } Here's is my modelContainer in the app file. There is a fatal error occurring here that's crashing the app. var sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer = { let schema = Schema(versionedSchema: SchemaV2.self) let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) do { return try ModelContainer( for: schema, migrationPlan: MigrationV1ToV2.self, configurations: [modelConfiguration] ) } catch { fatalError("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error)") } }() Does anyone have any suggestions for this?

Hi, I'm building an aftermarket solution to enable Apple Maps to support EV routing for any EV. I am going through the documentation and found some gaps - does anyone know how the following properties work? INGetCarPowerLevelStatusIntentResponse - consumptionFormulaArguments INGetCarPowerLevelStatusIntentResponse - chargingFormulaArguments Is there a working example that anyone has seen? Many thanks

Hello Folks, I recently came through a new API introduced from iOS 18 onwards isSIMInserted and according to the document it is A Boolean property that indicates whether a SIM is present. I really appreciate Apple for introducing such an useful API but there are few queries on what are the requirements for using this API. Query 1: Do we need any special entitlements for making use of this API. ? If yes then what are those entitlements and are these entitlements available openly or we have to raise special request to apple for such entitlements? Query 2: What are the entries required to be added in info.plist for supporting the isSIMInserted api to work. Query 3: Is isSIMInserted api available for all type of apps because mine is a financial stock related app and i am looking forward to use this API for providing more security to the end user while registering through sms. As per the below link this api is only available for mobile Carrier apps but in official document there is no such mention. https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/760991 Please kindly help me on these queries ? Regards, Carol

Hello, I have a question regarding the replacement of the APNs authentication key (.p8) in a Firebase setup for push notifications. Currently, my app uses an APNs authentication key from the original Apple Developer account. However, we are in the process of transferring app ownership to a new Apple Developer account, which will require generating a new APNs authentication key and updating it in Firebase. My concerns are: Impact on Existing Device Tokens: If we replace the existing .p8 key with a new one generated from the new developer account, will the existing APNs device tokens remain valid, or will they need to be reissued? Push Notification Delivery: Will Firebase still be able to send push notifications to devices that were registered with the previous APNs authentication key after the key is replaced? Steps for a Smooth Transition: Are there any best practices or additional steps we need to follow to ensure uninterrupted delivery of push notifications during and after the key replacement? Any insights or guidance from the Apple Developer team or community would be greatly appreciated.
