Please allow me to confirm the Server Notifications V2 specification.
I am aware that if withdrawal an Apple account that has a subscription, the subscription will eventually be cancelled.
Regarding Server Notifications V2 notifications with a notificationType of EXPIRED, am I correct in thinking that they will be sent when the subscription expires even if the Apple account is withdrawal?

My app monitors users heart beats and if critical reading is noticed, it auto -dials 911 for emergency and ambulance help.
I was under the impression that auto-dial may not be permitted or possible on the platform.
Can anyone confirm and provide any additional guidance on if it is possible in the newer SDK/API stack or using any 3rd party service ?
Thank you in advance!!

You are probably aware of the upcoming root certificate change for any servers you might have that you use to send push notifications by connection to APNs.
If you are not, here is the announcement.
We have been getting some questions about this, and understand not everyone is familiar with their server setup.
First, we would like to clarify that this is only a change to your server's certificate trust store. You do not need to update anything else, like your APNs push certificates, the build certificates and provisioning profiles for your team/app, and so on. All you need to do is to install the mentioned new root certificate to your push server's trust store.
If you are using a 3rd party push provider, it is them who will need to handle their servers. But you may want to double check with them nevertheless.
If you are managing your own push servers that connect to APNs directly, then it is your responsibility to download and install the root certificate mentioned in the above link on your server(s).
Unfortunately we cannot provide specific instructions on how to install this root certificate on every kind of server out there. Each server operating system/push server software will have different ways these root certificates are installed, which is out of scope of our support abilities.
If you are not sure how to do this, I would recommend you seek help for this from your server-side developers or server admins.
Or, if you don't have access to such resources, you can ask the support channels for your system the question: How do I install a root certificate?
We have setup a test server at 17.188.143.34:443 that you can use to try and send pushes to test whether your new root certificate is correctly installed.
An alternative way to test this would be, from a terminal prompt:
openssl s_client -connect 17.188.143.34:443 -servername api.sandbox.push.apple.com -verifyCAfile USERTrustRSACertificationAuthority.crt -showcerts
Change the parameter to the -verifyCAfile argument to point to your trust store, and it should allow you to validate
Sample return results would be:
Connecting to 17.188.143.34
CONNECTED(00000003)
depth=2 C=US, ST=New Jersey, L=Jersey City, O=The USERTRUST Network, CN=USERTrust RSA Certification Authority
verify return:1
depth=1 CN=Apple Public Server RSA CA 11 - G1, O=Apple Inc., ST=California, C=US
verify return:1
depth=0 C=US, ST=California, O=Apple Inc., CN=api.sandbox.push.apple.com
verify return:1

I have created a configuration profile which basically just turns off notifications for Shortcuts app but I am unable to install it on my iPhone as I am getting the following error “This profile can be installed on a supervised device only” can someone please help me with this? Would also appreciate if you have another way to turn off shortcuts notifications permanently since when I turn it off via screen time it keeps turning itself ON every couple of days.

I am able to block apps using FamilyControl and Shield. Unblocking is also simple—just assign nil to store.shield.applications. However, I want to unblock them even when the app is not open.
Use case: Let's say the app allows users to create a session where a particular app is blocked for a specific duration. Once the session starts, the app should remain blocked, and as soon as the session time ends, it should automatically be unblocked.
Please help me with this. Thank you!
I noticed the time sensitive entitlement says it's only for iOS and macOS. But without the entitlement, the time sensitive toggle doesn't show in my app's notification settings on visionOS.
When I archive my visionOS app for App Store Connect, the entitlement seems to be taken out as it doesn't show in my entitlement list for the build in App Store Connect.
I'm confused at this point if the entitlement is really necessary, since it seems to be needed to debug on the simulator at least. I don't have a physical device to test it on unfortunately.
I am currently using StoreKit2 to set up the in-app purchase subscription flow, and I have already configured the subscription products in App Connect. I created a StoreKit Configuration file in Xcode and used it in the scheme. However, after completing the purchase, the transaction.jsonRepresentation data returns a transactionId of 0. After checking the documentation, I found that I need to disable the StoreKit Configuration and enable Sandbox Testing. But after disabling the StoreKit Configuration, I can't retrieve the real product data using Product.products(for: productIds). I can confirm that the ProductId I provided is real and matches the data configured in App Connect. Could you please help me identify the issue?
I cannot access my corporate invoice. I don't know why I couldn't reach it. How and where can I reach it?

Hello, I’m trying to change my business model within the app, and following Apple’s documentation guidelines HERE I created this task in the main view of the app. It seems to work perfectly in the simulator, on physical devices, and on TestFlight. However, after releasing it to production and uploading the new version to the App Store, it doesn’t work, and all users, whether new or existing, are asked to subscribe. In the console, it appears to retrieve the transactions correctly, but in production, I’m not sure how to view the console or see what it’s retrieving.
Here the sandbox receipt I obtained
AppTransaction.shared obtained: {
"applicationVersion" : "1",
"bundleId" : "com.anestesiaIB.Drugs-Infusion-Calc",
"deviceVerification" : "6M0Nnw14nSEOBVTPE\/\/EfnWSwLm7LFSlrpFEwxgH74SBHp5dSzBEm896Uvo42mwr",
"deviceVerificationNonce" : "8a8238c0-0aee-41e6-bfb0-1cfc52b70fb6",
"originalApplicationVersion" : "1.0",
"originalPurchaseDate" : 1375340400000,
"receiptCreationDate" : 1737577840917,
"receiptType" : "Sandbox",
"requestDate" : 1737577840917
}
This are the processing log while verified the receipt
New business model change: 1.7
Original versionéis components: ["1", "0"]
Major version: 1, Minor version: 0
This user is premium. Original version: 1.0
This is my task...
.task {
do {
let shared = try await AppTransaction.shared
if case .verified(let appTransaction) = shared {
let newBusinessModelVersion = (1, 7) // Representado como (major, minor)
let versionComponents = appTransaction.originalAppVersion.split(separator: ".")
if let majorVersion = versionComponents.first.flatMap({ Int($0) }),
let minorVersion = versionComponents.dropFirst().first.flatMap({ Int($0) }) {
if (majorVersion, minorVersion) < newBusinessModelVersion {
self.premiumStatus.isPremium = true
isPremium = true
} else {
let customerInfo = try await Purchases.shared.customerInfo()
self.premiumStatus.isPremium = customerInfo.entitlements["premium"]?.isActive == true
isPremium = self.premiumStatus.isPremium
}
} else {

I am trying to get a pass reader certified through the mFi / WPC certification process. The problem I have is that the Certifier app will not allow testing results to be submitted due to some missing information. I need support to discuss the missing information, but I have received no replies from the email provided for WPC Certification Representative.
Does anyone here know how to get support for the WPC Certification process?

Is there any way I can get updates when I change CarPlay style settings?
I've tried CPSessionConfigurationDelegate.contentStyleChanged and CPTemplateApplicationSceneDelegate.contentStyleDidChange, but they always produce the same result.
When I choose:
Automatic -> I receive light in case of daylight;
Always Dark and Always Show Dark Map toggle on -> dark
Always Dark and Always Show Dark Map toggle off -> light.
But it seems to be wrong, b/c CarPlay's toolbar is still dark, and I receive light.
Is there a way to get a dark style when choosing Always Dark and Always Show Dark Map toggle off? Or at least get updates when the Always Show Dark Map toggle changes?
Hi,
I'm working on a game for the past few years using first Unreal Engine 4, and now Unreal Engine 5.4.4.
I'm experiencingan unusual crash on startup on some devices
. The crash is so fast that I'm barely able to see the launching screen sometimes because the app closes itself before that.
I got a EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) so I know that it's a null pointer reference, but I can't quite wrap my head about the cause, I think that's something messed up in the packaging of the app, but here is where I'm blocked, I'm not that accustomed with apple devices.
If someone has some advise to give, please, any help will be very valuable. Many thanks.

We are developing an iOS app to connect to vehicles and trigger predefined vehicle controls (door lock/unlock) via the Digital Key framework.
We are currently blocked on several aspects and would appreciate your expertise to clarify the following queries.
How can we list down connected vehicle information?
What is the method to retrieve connection status?
How can we perform vehicle control actions (e.g., door lock/unlock)?

Starting the CarKeyRemoteControlSession to Fetch Vehicle Reports
Currently, we are using the following API to start a CarKeyRemoteControlSession:
open class func start(
delegate: any CarKeyRemoteControlSessionDelegate,
subscriptionRange subscriptionFunctionIDRange: ClosedRange? = nil,
with delegateCallbackQueue: DispatchQueue? = nil
) async throws -> CarKeyRemoteControlSession
After successfully creating the session, we check for vehicle reports using the vehicleReports property of CarKeyRemoteControlSession:
public var vehicleReports: [VehicleReport] { get throws }

Hi,
I'm attempting to use StoreKit 2 and SwiftUI to add a tip jar to my iOS app. I've successfully added consumable IAPs for each of my tip sizes, and used ProductView to show these on my tip jar screen. However, I am at a loss on how to do the following things:
How and when do I finish the consumable IAP transaction? I see the finish() function in the documentation, but I am not sure how I can call it given that ProductView is handling the purchase for me (I have no access to a Transaction object).
How can I track the amount of consumable IAPs the user has purchased across all their devices? I want to show the user the amount of money they have tipped in total. I have added SKIncludeConsumableInAppPurchaseHistory to my Info.plist and set it to YES as suggested here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/687199
This is my first time using StoreKit 2 (until now, I was using StoreKit 1), so I would really appreciate any advice and guidance you can provide. Thanks!
Hi everyone,
i'm trying to request in a AppIntent an array of strings. But I want to give the user the chance to add more than one String.
Yet, I do it so:
import AppIntent
struct AddHomework: AppIntent {
// some Parameters
@Parameter(title: "Tasks")
var tasks: [String]?
@Parameter(title: "New Task") //Only for the special request
var input: String?
private func collectTasks() async throws -> [String] {
var collectedTasks: [String] = tasks ?? []
while true {
if !collectedTasks.isEmpty {
let addMore = try await $input.requestConfirmation(for: "Möchtest du noch eine Aufgabe hinzufügen?")
if !addMore {
break
}
}
let newTask = try await $input.requestValue("Please enter your task:")
collectedTasks.append(newTask)
}
return collectedTasks
}
@MainActor
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
let finalTasks = try await collectTasks()
// some more code
return .result()
}
}
But this is not working. The Shortcut is ending without requesting anything. But it is not crashing.
I would thankfully for some help.
Hi Apple Developer,
I’m working on a message-filtering application and reviewing Apple's documentation on message filtering. The documentation clearly states that MMS messages can be filtered. (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/identitylookup/sms-and-mms-message-filtering)
When we refer to MMS, it includes images, short videos, and other supported multimedia formats. However, the ILMessageFilterQueryRequest only provides the message body as a String, meaning we can access text and links but not images or other media files.
Could you please confirm whether Apple allows third-party applications to access multimedia content sent from unknown numbers?
Looking forward to your quick response.
Thanks,

Hi,
I’m trying to get an array of strings from the user using AppIntents, but I’m encountering an issue. The shortcut ends without prompting the user for input or saving the value, though it doesn’t crash. I need to get the user to input multiple tasks in an array, but the current approach isn’t working as expected.
Here’s the current method I’m using:
// Short code snippet showing the current method
private func collectTasks() async throws -> [String] {
var collectedTasks: [String] = tasks ?? []
while true {
if !collectedTasks.isEmpty {
let addMore = try await $input.requestConfirmation("Would you like to add another task?")
if !addMore {
break
}
}
let newTask = try await $input.requestValue("Please enter a task:")
collectedTasks.append(newTask)
}
return collectedTasks
}
The Call
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
let finalTasks = try await collectTasks()
// Some more Code
}
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
