Crash in URLConnectionLoader::loadWithWhatToDo
There are multiple report of crashes on URLConnectionLoader::loadWithWhatToDo. The crashed thread in the stack traces pointing to calls inside CFNetwork which seems to be internal library in iOS. The crash has happened quite a while already (but we cannot detect when the crash started to occur) and impacted multiple iOS versions recorded from iOS 15.4 to 18.4.1 that was recorded in Xcode crash report organizer so far. Unfortunately, we have no idea on how to reproduce it yet but the crash keeps on increasing and affect more on iOS 18 users (which makes sense because many people updated their iOS to the newer version) and we haven’t found any clue on what actually happened and how to fix it on the crash reports. What we understand is it seems to come from a network request that happened to trigger the crash but we need more information on what (condition) actually cause it and how to solve it. Hereby, I attach sample crash report for both iOS 15 and 18. I also have submitted a report (that include more crash reports) with number: FB17775979. Will appreciate any insight regarding this issue and any resolution that we can do to avoid it. iOS 15.crash iOS 18.crash

macOS 26.1 Tahoe on ARM: FinderSync extension does not work
When running the currently latest version of macOS (26.1) on a machine with ARM CPU (I could not reproduce the issue with Intel-Based machines) Finder Sync extensions do not work any more in general. Steps to reproduce the problem: In Xcode create a new macOS App project with default settings (in my case I chose XIB for the UI and Objective-C as language, and disabled testing, but that should not make any difference) In Xcode add a new target / "Finder Sync Extension" to the project with default settings, this adds a new Finder Sync Extension with example code to the app. Run the application and open Finder and navigate to "/Users/Shared/MySyncExtension Documents" In the system settings ("Login Items & Extensions") enable the extension (Listed as "File Provider"). On systems where it is working, in the context menu of that folder an entry "Example Menu Item" will appear. On systems where it does not work it is missing. Some findings: Adding the *.appex with "pluginkit -a" registers the extension as expected, it is then visible in the system settings, removing it with "pluginkit -r" is also reflected in the system settings. "pluginkit -m -i " returns the extension on systems where it is working (assuming it is registered while this command is executed), on systems wehre it is not working, nothing is returned, regardless of the registration state. When enabling the extension in the system settings nothing more happens, there is no process started for the extension (unlike as on systems where it is working), and thus no context menu entries and no badges are displayed in Finder. Restarting Finder or the system does not help. Any ideas what I could be missing here?

Multiple Apple Pay relationships with differing apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association files
I've encountered an issue where we need multiple domain associations with separate Apple Pay implementations. Briefly, we have a /.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association already setup with Stripe, and now we need another, different version of the file to get setup with FreedomPay. FreedomPay insists this file represents a three-way relationship between all parties and I have no reason to disbelieve them. I'm wondering if anyone has encountered this or if there is a standard procedure. I'm currently trying to find documentation on the exact way Apple Pay verification interacts with this file to see if we can produce it dynamically.

Auto-renewing Subscription Updates not Arriving
This is a copy of a reply to this post. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/722222?page=1 I'm posting as new in the hope someone might have more up-to-date information, as I'm pulling out what little hair I have left. I'm using Storekit 2, testing in Xcode with a local Storekit config file. I have created a very minimal system to investigate this issue. I have a SwiftUI-based window using SubscriptionStoreView, and my app set up with the usual listener. I have four types of auto renewing subscription, configured in the local Storekit config file. With my app running, I subscribe to the lowest-level subscription I offer, via the SubscriptionStoreView. Notification of the inital purchase arrives, but subsequent auto-renewals do not trigger any action in my listener for Transaction.updates. They arrive as expected in the Transaction Manager. Radio silence in my listener. If I upgrade one subscription (via my SubscriptionStoreView) I see this reflected in the UI immediately, and also in the Transaction Manager, but the update that arrives in Transaction.updates refers to the old subscription, and has the isUpgraded flag set to false. Also, can anyone remind me what the grey warning triangle next to entries in the Transaction Manager means. I'm assuming it means unfinished, as that's what the sidebar indicates. Can the testing system really be this broken, or am I wildly off the mark? Unless I'm doing something fundamentally wrong this all seems extremely flakey, but happy to be proved wrong. I find this all rather unsettling if I can't test reliably, and am concerned that I my app may end up in this situation if I use storekit 2: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73530849/storekit-renewal-transactions-missing-in-transaction-all-or-transaction-updates

IMAP Extension XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE — Access to specific APNS Topic
Hi, I’m looking for guidance on enabling push notifications for new emails in the native iOS Mail app (com.apple.mobilemail). Currently, I send push notifications using macOS Server (formerly OS X Server) Mail, but since it has been discontinued and renewal is no longer possible, I want to transition to the standard method used by email providers to notify the stock Mail app about new messages. To achieve this, I need access to the com.apple.mobilemail.push.com.zuplu APNs topic. This follows the same pattern used by other providers: iCloud: com.apple.mobilemail.push.com.me.mail.castle Fastmail: com.apple.mobilemail.push.com.fastmail Since Fastmail (as a third-party provider) has access to this, I assume there is a way for independent mail providers to integrate with XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE. In the interest of a free market and fair competition, I trust that Apple provides a means for email providers to notify the stock Mail app of IMAP server changes, allowing it to fetch new messages instantly. Under EU competition law, particularly Article 102 TFEU, dominant companies must not engage in anti-competitive behavior, including restricting access to essential services in a discriminatory manner. Furthermore, the Digital Markets Act (DMA) explicitly prohibits gatekeepers from favoring their own services or restricting interoperability without justification. Any insights or official guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, DragonWork

watchOS 26.0.2 / iOS 26.0.1 + Workout Session Mirroring Failure
Hi, I have a workout app in the App Store which mirrors workout data between the phone and watch. Since iOS 26.x I've been having issues and received reports of the mirroring no longer working. Users in iOS 18 have no problems with this functionality. Bug description: A workout session is started from the phone app and starts mirroring to the watch companion device. The watch starts the workout session and then the mirroring session is disconnected / lost. Sending data to the companion device fails and ending the session on the phone doesn't end the session on the watch...essentially they become completely disconnected. Please note I am testing this on physical devices...not simulators. As a sanity check I've also tried the "Building a multidevice workout app" sample code and it has the same problem. To re-create on the sample app, I start a workout from the phone, the watch workout starts and then the mirroring session seems to disconnect and is unable to send data. This is the log from the "Building a multidevice workout app" sample code.

XCFramework Location Behavior Differs from Standalone App in Background/Sleep Mode
Hi Apple Dev Team & Community, We’ve encountered an issue with background location updates when using an XCFramework we’ve built from our main app. Context: We have a standalone app called TravelSafely that reliably performs background location updates and alerts, even during sleep mode. From this app, we extracted some core functionality into an XCFramework, including location management, and provided it as an SDK to a client. We created a demo app to test this SDK in isolation. Problem: In the demo app, we notice that location updates work fine in the foreground. However, in the background or sleep mode, location updates sometimes stop completely. When we bring the app to the foreground again, location resumes. This does not happen in the original standalone app. What We’ve Already Checked: UIBackgroundModes includes location Info.plist has the required permissions Location is started correctly using startUpdatingLocation We maintain strong references and use background tasks as needed Question: Why would an app using a binary XCFramework (with location logic) behave differently from the original app in terms of background execution? Is there any known issue or recommendation when working with SDKs/XCFrameworks that need to manage background tasks and location updates? Any insights or recommendations to maintain proper background behavior would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Network connectivity issue observed on OS 15.4.1
Recently, we have observed that after upgrading to OS 15.4.1, some devices are experiencing network issues. We are using a Network Extension with a transparent app proxy in our product. The user encounters this issue while using our client, but the issue persists even after stopping the client app. This appears to be an OS issue. Below is the sytem logs. In the system logs, it says [C669.1 Hostname#546597df:443 failed transform (unsatisfied (No network route), flow divert agg: 2)] event: transform:children_failed @0.001s In scutil --dns, it says not reachble.

DeviceActivityReportExtension: NSExtensionPrincipalClass required by App Store but rejected at runtime
I'm experiencing a contradictory validation issue with DeviceActivityReportExtension that creates an impossible situation: The Problem: Without NSExtensionPrincipalClass in Info.plist → App Store Connect rejects upload with: "Missing Info.plist values. No values for NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass found" With NSExtensionPrincipalClass → Local install fails with: "defines either an NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass key, which is not allowed for the extension point com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension" Setup: Extension point: com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension Using SwiftUI with @main attribute and DeviceActivityReportExtension protocol Xcode 16.2, iOS 17.6 deployment target Code structure: @main struct SpoolReport: DeviceActivityReportExtension { var body: some DeviceActivityReportScene { // Report scenes here } } The extension builds and runs perfectly without NSExtensionPrincipalClass, but cannot be uploaded to App Store Connect. Adding the key allows upload but breaks local installation. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround or correct Info.plist configuration for DeviceActivityReportExtension? Thank you!

Getting Progress from long running process
I have been working on updating an old app that makes extensive use of Objective-C's NSTask. Now using Process in Swift, I'm trying to gather updates as the process runs, using readabilityHandler and availableData. However, my process tends to exit before all data has been read. I found this post entitled "Running a Child Process with Standard Input and Output" but it doesn't seem to address gathering output from long-running tasks. Is there a straightforward way to gather ongoing output from a long running task without it prematurely exiting?

Bonjour Connectivity Optimization
Hi folks, I'm building an iOS companion app to a local hosted server app (hosted on 0.0.0.0). The MacOS app locally connects to this server hosted, and I took the approach of advertising the server using a Daemon and BonjourwithTXT(for port) and then net service to resolve a local name. Unfortunately if there's not enough time given after the iPhone/iPad is plugged in (usb or ethernet), the app will cycle through attempts and disconnects many times before connecting and I'm trying to find a way to only connect when a viable en interface is available. I've run into a weird thing in which the en interface only becomes seen on the NWMonitor after multiple connection attempts have been made and failed. If I screen for en before connecting it simply never appears. Is there any way to handle this such that my app can intelligently wait for an en connection before trying to connect? Attaching my code although I have tried a few other setups but none has been perfect. func startMonitoringAndBrowse() { DebugLogger.shared.append("Starting Bonjour + Ethernet monitoring") if !browserStarted { let params = NWParameters.tcp params.includePeerToPeer = false params.requiredInterfaceType = .wiredEthernet browser = NWBrowser(for: .bonjourWithTXTRecord(type: "_mytcpapp._tcp", domain: nil), using: params) browser?.stateUpdateHandler = { state in if case .ready = state { DebugLogger.shared.append("Bonjour browser ready.") } } browser?.browseResultsChangedHandler = { results, _ in self.handleBrowseResults(results) } browser?.start(queue: .main) browserStarted = true } // Start monitoring for wired ethernet monitor = NWPathMonitor() monitor?.pathUpdateHandler = { path in let hasEthernet = path.availableInterfaces.contains { $0.type == .wiredEthernet } let ethernetInUse = path.usesInterfaceType(.wiredEthernet) DebugLogger.shared.append(""" NWPathMonitor: - Status: \(path.status) - Interfaces: \(path.availableInterfaces.map { "\($0.name)[\($0.type)]" }.joined(separator: ", ")) - Wired Ethernet: \(hasEthernet), In Use: \(ethernetInUse) """) self.tryToConnectIfReady() self.stopMonitoring() } monitor?.start(queue: monitorQueue) } // MARK: - Internal Logic private func handleBrowseResults(_ results: Set<NWBrowser.Result>) { guard !self.isResolving, !self.hasResolvedService else { return } for result in results { guard case let .bonjour(txtRecord) = result.metadata, let portString = txtRecord["actual_port"], let actualPort = Int(portString), case let .service(name, type, domain, _) = result.endpoint else { continue } DebugLogger.shared.append("Bonjour result — port: \(actualPort)") self.resolvedPort = actualPort self.isResolving = true self.resolveWithNetService(name: name, type: type, domain: domain) break } } private func resolveWithNetService(name: String, type: String, domain: String) { let netService = NetService(domain: domain, type: type, name: name) netService.delegate = self netService.includesPeerToPeer = false netService.resolve(withTimeout: 5.0) resolvingNetService = netService DebugLogger.shared.append("Resolving NetService: \(name).\(type)\(domain)") } private func tryToConnectIfReady() { guard hasResolvedService, let host = resolvedHost, let port = resolvedPort else { return } DebugLogger.shared.append("Attempting to connect: \(host):\(port)") discoveredIP = host discoveredPort = port connectionPublisher.send(.connecting(ip: host, port: port)) stopBrowsing() socketManager.connectToServer(ip: host, port: port) hasResolvedService = false } } // MARK: - NetServiceDelegate extension BonjourManager: NetServiceDelegate { func netServiceDidResolveAddress(_ sender: NetService) { guard let hostname = sender.hostName else { DebugLogger.shared.append("Resolved service with no hostname") return } DebugLogger.shared.append("Resolved NetService hostname: \(hostname)") resolvedHost = hostname isResolving = false hasResolvedService = true tryToConnectIfReady() } func netService(_ sender: NetService, didNotResolve errorDict: [String : NSNumber]) { DebugLogger.shared.append("NetService failed to resolve: \(errorDict)") } }

IOS 26.1 isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method keeps returning true when the camera is unavailable
Prerequisite: After the MDM APP issues the command, the camera on the phone is no longer visible (unusable). After upgrading to iOS 26.1, the isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method keeps returning true when the camera is unavailable. The isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method on iOS 26.0.1 is normal, returning false when the camera is unavailable and true when it is available.

Shared directories as ROOTFS in Linux VM causes file permission issues
I have successfully booted the Linux Kernel with VirtIOFS as the rootfs, but file permission issues render it completely unusable. A file on the macOS host belongs to uid 0, gid 0, but on the Linux guest, this file belongs to uid 1000, gid 10. Why does this happen? How are file permissions directly mapped between the host and the guest? If there is no mapping mechanism in place, why does this discrepancy occur? This leads to errors in Linux, such as: sudo: /etc/sudo.conf is owned by uid 1000, should be 0 sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set bootLoader.commandLine = "console=hvc0 rootfstype=virtiofs root=myfs rw" let directorySharingDevice = VZVirtioFileSystemDeviceConfiguration(tag: "myfs") directorySharingDevice.share = VZSingleDirectoryShare(directory: VZSharedDirectory(url: rootURL!, readOnly: false)) The VMM is running as root.

BGContinuedProcessingTask register block not called, submit does not throw an error
I implemented BGContinuedProcessingTask in my app and it seems to be working well for everyone except one user (so far) who has reached out to report nothing happens when they tap the Start Processing button. They have an iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 26.1. Restarting iPhone does not fix it. When they turn off the background processing feature in the app, it works. In that case my code directly calls the function to start processing instead of waiting for it to be invoked in the register block (or submit catch block). Is this a bug that's possible to occur, maybe device specific? Or have I done something wrong in the implementation? func startProcessingTapped(_ sender: UIButton) { if isBackgroundProcessingEnabled { startBackgroundContinuedProcessing() } else { startProcessing(backgroundTask: nil) } } func startBackgroundContinuedProcessing() { BGTaskScheduler.shared.register(forTaskWithIdentifier: taskIdentifier, using: .main) { @Sendable [weak self] task in guard self != nil else { return } startProcessing(backgroundTask: task as? BGContinuedProcessingTask) } let request = BGContinuedProcessingTaskRequest(identifier: taskIdentifier, title: title, subtitle: subtitle) request.strategy = .fail if BGTaskScheduler.supportedResources.contains(.gpu) { request.requiredResources = .gpu } do { try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) } catch { startProcessing(backgroundTask: nil) } } func startProcessing(backgroundTask: BGContinuedProcessingTask?) { // FIXME: Never called for this user when isBackgroundProcessingEnabled is true }

WatchOS HealthKit HKObserverQuery crashes in background
I have a watchOS app with a connected iOS app using Swift and SwiftUI. The watchOS app should read heart rate date in the background using HKOberserQuery and enableBackgroundDelivery(), send the data to the iPhone app via WCSession. The iPhone app then sends the data to a Firebase project. The issue I am facing now it that the app with the HKObserverQuery works fine when the app is in the foreground, but when the app runs in the background, the observer query gets triggered for the first time (after one hour), but then always get terminated from the watchdog timeout with the following error message: CSLHandleBackgroundHealthKitQueryAction scene-create watchdog transgression: app<app.nanacare.nanacare.nanaCareHealthSync.watchkitapp((null))>:14451 exhausted real (wall clock) time allowance of 15.00 seconds I am using Xcode 16.3 on MacOS 15.4 The App is running on iOS 18.4 and watchOS 11.4 What is the reason for this this issue? I only do a simple SampleQuery to fetch the latest heart rate data inside the HKObserverQuery and then call the completionHandler. The query itself takes less than one second. Or is there a better approach to read continuously heart rate data from healthKit in the background on watchOS? I don't have an active workout session, and I don't need all heart rate data. Once every 15 minutes or so would be enough.

When the Network Extension(NETransparentProxyProvider) is installed and enabled, data cannot be sent to the UDP server
I implemented a Network Extension in the macOS, use NETransparentProxyProvider. After installing and enabling it, I implemented a UDP client to test its. I found that the UDP client failed to send the data successfully (via sendto, and it returned a success), and when using Wireshark to capture the network data packet, I still couldn't see this UDP data packet. The code for Network Extension is like this: @interface MyTransparentProxyProvider : NETransparentProxyProvider @end @implementation MyTransparentProxyProvider - (void)startProxyWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)options completionHandler:(void (^)(NSError *))completionHandler { NETransparentProxyNetworkSettings *objSettings = [[NETransparentProxyNetworkSettings alloc] initWithTunnelRemoteAddress:@"127.0.0.1"]; // included rules NENetworkRule *objIncludedNetworkRule = [[NENetworkRule alloc] initWithRemoteNetwork:nil remotePrefix:0 localNetwork:nil localPrefix:0 protocol:NENetworkRuleProtocolAny direction:NETrafficDirectionOutbound]; NSMutableArray<NENetworkRule *> *arrIncludedNetworkRules = [NSMutableArray array]; [arrIncludedNetworkRules addObject:objIncludedNetworkRule]; objSettings.includedNetworkRules = arrIncludedNetworkRules; // apply [self setTunnelNetworkSettings:objSettings completionHandler: ^(NSError * _Nullable error) { // TODO } ]; if (completionHandler != nil) completionHandler(nil); } - (BOOL)handleNewFlow:(NEAppProxyFlow *)flow { if (flow == nil) return NO; char szProcPath[PROC_PIDPATHINFO_MAXSIZE] = {0}; audit_token_t *lpAuditToken = (audit_token_t*)flow.metaData.sourceAppAuditToken.bytes; if (lpAuditToken != NULL) { proc_pidpath_audittoken(lpAuditToken, szProcPath, sizeof(szProcPath)); } if ([flow isKindOfClass:[NEAppProxyTCPFlow class]]) { NWHostEndpoint *objRemoteEndpoint = (NWHostEndpoint *)((NEAppProxyTCPFlow *)flow).remoteEndpoint; LOG("-MyTransparentProxyProvider handleNewFlow:] TCP flow!

Did I do anything wrong?

AppIntents + CSSearchableItemAttributeSet: only displayName indexed?
On iOS 18, I'm trying to index documents in Spotlight using the new combination of AppIntents+IndexedEntity. However, I don't seem to be able to index the textContent of the document. Only the displayName seems to be indexed. As recommended, I start with the defaultAttributeSet: /// I call this function to index in Spotlight static func indexInSpotlight(document: Document) async { do { if let entity = document.toEntity { try await CSSearchableIndex.default().indexAppEntities([entity]) } } catch { DLog("Spotlight: could not index document: \(document.name ?? "")") } } /// This is the corresponding IndexedEntity with the attributeSet @available(iOS 18, *) extension DocumentEntity { var attributeSet: CSSearchableItemAttributeSet { let attributeSet = defaultAttributeSet attributeSet.title = title attributeSet.displayName = title attributeSet.textContent = docContent attributeSet.thumbnailData = thumbnailData attributeSet.kind = "document" attributeSet.creator = Constants.APP_NAME return attributeSet } } How can I have more that the displayName to be indexed? Thanks :-)

Crash in URLConnectionLoader::loadWithWhatToDo
There are multiple report of crashes on URLConnectionLoader::loadWithWhatToDo. The crashed thread in the stack traces pointing to calls inside CFNetwork which seems to be internal library in iOS. The crash has happened quite a while already (but we cannot detect when the crash started to occur) and impacted multiple iOS versions recorded from iOS 15.4 to 18.4.1 that was recorded in Xcode crash report organizer so far. Unfortunately, we have no idea on how to reproduce it yet but the crash keeps on increasing and affect more on iOS 18 users (which makes sense because many people updated their iOS to the newer version) and we haven’t found any clue on what actually happened and how to fix it on the crash reports. What we understand is it seems to come from a network request that happened to trigger the crash but we need more information on what (condition) actually cause it and how to solve it. Hereby, I attach sample crash report for both iOS 15 and 18. I also have submitted a report (that include more crash reports) with number: FB17775979. Will appreciate any insight regarding this issue and any resolution that we can do to avoid it. iOS 15.crash iOS 18.crash

macOS 26.1 Tahoe on ARM: FinderSync extension does not work
When running the currently latest version of macOS (26.1) on a machine with ARM CPU (I could not reproduce the issue with Intel-Based machines) Finder Sync extensions do not work any more in general. Steps to reproduce the problem: In Xcode create a new macOS App project with default settings (in my case I chose XIB for the UI and Objective-C as language, and disabled testing, but that should not make any difference) In Xcode add a new target / "Finder Sync Extension" to the project with default settings, this adds a new Finder Sync Extension with example code to the app. Run the application and open Finder and navigate to "/Users/Shared/MySyncExtension Documents" In the system settings ("Login Items & Extensions") enable the extension (Listed as "File Provider"). On systems where it is working, in the context menu of that folder an entry "Example Menu Item" will appear. On systems where it does not work it is missing. Some findings: Adding the *.appex with "pluginkit -a" registers the extension as expected, it is then visible in the system settings, removing it with "pluginkit -r" is also reflected in the system settings. "pluginkit -m -i " returns the extension on systems where it is working (assuming it is registered while this command is executed), on systems wehre it is not working, nothing is returned, regardless of the registration state. When enabling the extension in the system settings nothing more happens, there is no process started for the extension (unlike as on systems where it is working), and thus no context menu entries and no badges are displayed in Finder. Restarting Finder or the system does not help. Any ideas what I could be missing here?

Multiple Apple Pay relationships with differing apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association files
I've encountered an issue where we need multiple domain associations with separate Apple Pay implementations. Briefly, we have a /.well-known/apple-developer-merchantid-domain-association already setup with Stripe, and now we need another, different version of the file to get setup with FreedomPay. FreedomPay insists this file represents a three-way relationship between all parties and I have no reason to disbelieve them. I'm wondering if anyone has encountered this or if there is a standard procedure. I'm currently trying to find documentation on the exact way Apple Pay verification interacts with this file to see if we can produce it dynamically.

Auto-renewing Subscription Updates not Arriving
This is a copy of a reply to this post. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/722222?page=1 I'm posting as new in the hope someone might have more up-to-date information, as I'm pulling out what little hair I have left. I'm using Storekit 2, testing in Xcode with a local Storekit config file. I have created a very minimal system to investigate this issue. I have a SwiftUI-based window using SubscriptionStoreView, and my app set up with the usual listener. I have four types of auto renewing subscription, configured in the local Storekit config file. With my app running, I subscribe to the lowest-level subscription I offer, via the SubscriptionStoreView. Notification of the inital purchase arrives, but subsequent auto-renewals do not trigger any action in my listener for Transaction.updates. They arrive as expected in the Transaction Manager. Radio silence in my listener. If I upgrade one subscription (via my SubscriptionStoreView) I see this reflected in the UI immediately, and also in the Transaction Manager, but the update that arrives in Transaction.updates refers to the old subscription, and has the isUpgraded flag set to false. Also, can anyone remind me what the grey warning triangle next to entries in the Transaction Manager means. I'm assuming it means unfinished, as that's what the sidebar indicates. Can the testing system really be this broken, or am I wildly off the mark? Unless I'm doing something fundamentally wrong this all seems extremely flakey, but happy to be proved wrong. I find this all rather unsettling if I can't test reliably, and am concerned that I my app may end up in this situation if I use storekit 2: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73530849/storekit-renewal-transactions-missing-in-transaction-all-or-transaction-updates

IMAP Extension XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE — Access to specific APNS Topic
Hi, I’m looking for guidance on enabling push notifications for new emails in the native iOS Mail app (com.apple.mobilemail). Currently, I send push notifications using macOS Server (formerly OS X Server) Mail, but since it has been discontinued and renewal is no longer possible, I want to transition to the standard method used by email providers to notify the stock Mail app about new messages. To achieve this, I need access to the com.apple.mobilemail.push.com.zuplu APNs topic. This follows the same pattern used by other providers: iCloud: com.apple.mobilemail.push.com.me.mail.castle Fastmail: com.apple.mobilemail.push.com.fastmail Since Fastmail (as a third-party provider) has access to this, I assume there is a way for independent mail providers to integrate with XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE. In the interest of a free market and fair competition, I trust that Apple provides a means for email providers to notify the stock Mail app of IMAP server changes, allowing it to fetch new messages instantly. Under EU competition law, particularly Article 102 TFEU, dominant companies must not engage in anti-competitive behavior, including restricting access to essential services in a discriminatory manner. Furthermore, the Digital Markets Act (DMA) explicitly prohibits gatekeepers from favoring their own services or restricting interoperability without justification. Any insights or official guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, DragonWork

watchOS 26.0.2 / iOS 26.0.1 + Workout Session Mirroring Failure
Hi, I have a workout app in the App Store which mirrors workout data between the phone and watch. Since iOS 26.x I've been having issues and received reports of the mirroring no longer working. Users in iOS 18 have no problems with this functionality. Bug description: A workout session is started from the phone app and starts mirroring to the watch companion device. The watch starts the workout session and then the mirroring session is disconnected / lost. Sending data to the companion device fails and ending the session on the phone doesn't end the session on the watch...essentially they become completely disconnected. Please note I am testing this on physical devices...not simulators. As a sanity check I've also tried the "Building a multidevice workout app" sample code and it has the same problem. To re-create on the sample app, I start a workout from the phone, the watch workout starts and then the mirroring session seems to disconnect and is unable to send data. This is the log from the "Building a multidevice workout app" sample code.

XCFramework Location Behavior Differs from Standalone App in Background/Sleep Mode
Hi Apple Dev Team & Community, We’ve encountered an issue with background location updates when using an XCFramework we’ve built from our main app. Context: We have a standalone app called TravelSafely that reliably performs background location updates and alerts, even during sleep mode. From this app, we extracted some core functionality into an XCFramework, including location management, and provided it as an SDK to a client. We created a demo app to test this SDK in isolation. Problem: In the demo app, we notice that location updates work fine in the foreground. However, in the background or sleep mode, location updates sometimes stop completely. When we bring the app to the foreground again, location resumes. This does not happen in the original standalone app. What We’ve Already Checked: UIBackgroundModes includes location Info.plist has the required permissions Location is started correctly using startUpdatingLocation We maintain strong references and use background tasks as needed Question: Why would an app using a binary XCFramework (with location logic) behave differently from the original app in terms of background execution? Is there any known issue or recommendation when working with SDKs/XCFrameworks that need to manage background tasks and location updates? Any insights or recommendations to maintain proper background behavior would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Network connectivity issue observed on OS 15.4.1
Recently, we have observed that after upgrading to OS 15.4.1, some devices are experiencing network issues. We are using a Network Extension with a transparent app proxy in our product. The user encounters this issue while using our client, but the issue persists even after stopping the client app. This appears to be an OS issue. Below is the sytem logs. In the system logs, it says [C669.1 Hostname#546597df:443 failed transform (unsatisfied (No network route), flow divert agg: 2)] event: transform:children_failed @0.001s In scutil --dns, it says not reachble.

DeviceActivityReportExtension: NSExtensionPrincipalClass required by App Store but rejected at runtime
I'm experiencing a contradictory validation issue with DeviceActivityReportExtension that creates an impossible situation: The Problem: Without NSExtensionPrincipalClass in Info.plist → App Store Connect rejects upload with: "Missing Info.plist values. No values for NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass found" With NSExtensionPrincipalClass → Local install fails with: "defines either an NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass key, which is not allowed for the extension point com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension" Setup: Extension point: com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension Using SwiftUI with @main attribute and DeviceActivityReportExtension protocol Xcode 16.2, iOS 17.6 deployment target Code structure: @main struct SpoolReport: DeviceActivityReportExtension { var body: some DeviceActivityReportScene { // Report scenes here } } The extension builds and runs perfectly without NSExtensionPrincipalClass, but cannot be uploaded to App Store Connect. Adding the key allows upload but breaks local installation. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround or correct Info.plist configuration for DeviceActivityReportExtension? Thank you!

Getting Progress from long running process
I have been working on updating an old app that makes extensive use of Objective-C's NSTask. Now using Process in Swift, I'm trying to gather updates as the process runs, using readabilityHandler and availableData. However, my process tends to exit before all data has been read. I found this post entitled "Running a Child Process with Standard Input and Output" but it doesn't seem to address gathering output from long-running tasks. Is there a straightforward way to gather ongoing output from a long running task without it prematurely exiting?

Bonjour Connectivity Optimization
Hi folks, I'm building an iOS companion app to a local hosted server app (hosted on 0.0.0.0). The MacOS app locally connects to this server hosted, and I took the approach of advertising the server using a Daemon and BonjourwithTXT(for port) and then net service to resolve a local name. Unfortunately if there's not enough time given after the iPhone/iPad is plugged in (usb or ethernet), the app will cycle through attempts and disconnects many times before connecting and I'm trying to find a way to only connect when a viable en interface is available. I've run into a weird thing in which the en interface only becomes seen on the NWMonitor after multiple connection attempts have been made and failed. If I screen for en before connecting it simply never appears. Is there any way to handle this such that my app can intelligently wait for an en connection before trying to connect? Attaching my code although I have tried a few other setups but none has been perfect. func startMonitoringAndBrowse() { DebugLogger.shared.append("Starting Bonjour + Ethernet monitoring") if !browserStarted { let params = NWParameters.tcp params.includePeerToPeer = false params.requiredInterfaceType = .wiredEthernet browser = NWBrowser(for: .bonjourWithTXTRecord(type: "_mytcpapp._tcp", domain: nil), using: params) browser?.stateUpdateHandler = { state in if case .ready = state { DebugLogger.shared.append("Bonjour browser ready.") } } browser?.browseResultsChangedHandler = { results, _ in self.handleBrowseResults(results) } browser?.start(queue: .main) browserStarted = true } // Start monitoring for wired ethernet monitor = NWPathMonitor() monitor?.pathUpdateHandler = { path in let hasEthernet = path.availableInterfaces.contains { $0.type == .wiredEthernet } let ethernetInUse = path.usesInterfaceType(.wiredEthernet) DebugLogger.shared.append(""" NWPathMonitor: - Status: \(path.status) - Interfaces: \(path.availableInterfaces.map { "\($0.name)[\($0.type)]" }.joined(separator: ", ")) - Wired Ethernet: \(hasEthernet), In Use: \(ethernetInUse) """) self.tryToConnectIfReady() self.stopMonitoring() } monitor?.start(queue: monitorQueue) } // MARK: - Internal Logic private func handleBrowseResults(_ results: Set&lt;NWBrowser.Result&gt;) { guard !self.isResolving, !self.hasResolvedService else { return } for result in results { guard case let .bonjour(txtRecord) = result.metadata, let portString = txtRecord["actual_port"], let actualPort = Int(portString), case let .service(name, type, domain, _) = result.endpoint else { continue } DebugLogger.shared.append("Bonjour result — port: \(actualPort)") self.resolvedPort = actualPort self.isResolving = true self.resolveWithNetService(name: name, type: type, domain: domain) break } } private func resolveWithNetService(name: String, type: String, domain: String) { let netService = NetService(domain: domain, type: type, name: name) netService.delegate = self netService.includesPeerToPeer = false netService.resolve(withTimeout: 5.0) resolvingNetService = netService DebugLogger.shared.append("Resolving NetService: \(name).\(type)\(domain)") } private func tryToConnectIfReady() { guard hasResolvedService, let host = resolvedHost, let port = resolvedPort else { return } DebugLogger.shared.append("Attempting to connect: \(host):\(port)") discoveredIP = host discoveredPort = port connectionPublisher.send(.connecting(ip: host, port: port)) stopBrowsing() socketManager.connectToServer(ip: host, port: port) hasResolvedService = false } } // MARK: - NetServiceDelegate extension BonjourManager: NetServiceDelegate { func netServiceDidResolveAddress(_ sender: NetService) { guard let hostname = sender.hostName else { DebugLogger.shared.append("Resolved service with no hostname") return } DebugLogger.shared.append("Resolved NetService hostname: \(hostname)") resolvedHost = hostname isResolving = false hasResolvedService = true tryToConnectIfReady() } func netService(_ sender: NetService, didNotResolve errorDict: [String : NSNumber]) { DebugLogger.shared.append("NetService failed to resolve: \(errorDict)") } }

IOS 26.1 isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method keeps returning true when the camera is unavailable
Prerequisite: After the MDM APP issues the command, the camera on the phone is no longer visible (unusable). After upgrading to iOS 26.1, the isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method keeps returning true when the camera is unavailable. The isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method on iOS 26.0.1 is normal, returning false when the camera is unavailable and true when it is available.

Shared directories as ROOTFS in Linux VM causes file permission issues
I have successfully booted the Linux Kernel with VirtIOFS as the rootfs, but file permission issues render it completely unusable. A file on the macOS host belongs to uid 0, gid 0, but on the Linux guest, this file belongs to uid 1000, gid 10. Why does this happen? How are file permissions directly mapped between the host and the guest? If there is no mapping mechanism in place, why does this discrepancy occur? This leads to errors in Linux, such as: sudo: /etc/sudo.conf is owned by uid 1000, should be 0 sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set bootLoader.commandLine = "console=hvc0 rootfstype=virtiofs root=myfs rw" let directorySharingDevice = VZVirtioFileSystemDeviceConfiguration(tag: "myfs") directorySharingDevice.share = VZSingleDirectoryShare(directory: VZSharedDirectory(url: rootURL!, readOnly: false)) The VMM is running as root.

BGContinuedProcessingTask register block not called, submit does not throw an error
I implemented BGContinuedProcessingTask in my app and it seems to be working well for everyone except one user (so far) who has reached out to report nothing happens when they tap the Start Processing button. They have an iPhone 12 Pro Max running iOS 26.1. Restarting iPhone does not fix it. When they turn off the background processing feature in the app, it works. In that case my code directly calls the function to start processing instead of waiting for it to be invoked in the register block (or submit catch block). Is this a bug that's possible to occur, maybe device specific? Or have I done something wrong in the implementation? func startProcessingTapped(_ sender: UIButton) { if isBackgroundProcessingEnabled { startBackgroundContinuedProcessing() } else { startProcessing(backgroundTask: nil) } } func startBackgroundContinuedProcessing() { BGTaskScheduler.shared.register(forTaskWithIdentifier: taskIdentifier, using: .main) { @Sendable [weak self] task in guard self != nil else { return } startProcessing(backgroundTask: task as? BGContinuedProcessingTask) } let request = BGContinuedProcessingTaskRequest(identifier: taskIdentifier, title: title, subtitle: subtitle) request.strategy = .fail if BGTaskScheduler.supportedResources.contains(.gpu) { request.requiredResources = .gpu } do { try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) } catch { startProcessing(backgroundTask: nil) } } func startProcessing(backgroundTask: BGContinuedProcessingTask?) { // FIXME: Never called for this user when isBackgroundProcessingEnabled is true }

iPhone17 bluetooth background scanning issue
Recently, I've noticed that background Bluetooth scanning stops when I move an app to the background on an iPhone 17 device with Bluetooth 6. I'm curious about a solution. Background Bluetooth scanning doesn't stop on devices older than iOS 26, or on devices that were updated from an iPhone 17 or earlier to iOS 26.

WatchOS HealthKit HKObserverQuery crashes in background
I have a watchOS app with a connected iOS app using Swift and SwiftUI. The watchOS app should read heart rate date in the background using HKOberserQuery and enableBackgroundDelivery(), send the data to the iPhone app via WCSession. The iPhone app then sends the data to a Firebase project. The issue I am facing now it that the app with the HKObserverQuery works fine when the app is in the foreground, but when the app runs in the background, the observer query gets triggered for the first time (after one hour), but then always get terminated from the watchdog timeout with the following error message: CSLHandleBackgroundHealthKitQueryAction scene-create watchdog transgression: app<app.nanacare.nanacare.nanaCareHealthSync.watchkitapp((null))>:14451 exhausted real (wall clock) time allowance of 15.00 seconds I am using Xcode 16.3 on MacOS 15.4 The App is running on iOS 18.4 and watchOS 11.4 What is the reason for this this issue? I only do a simple SampleQuery to fetch the latest heart rate data inside the HKObserverQuery and then call the completionHandler. The query itself takes less than one second. Or is there a better approach to read continuously heart rate data from healthKit in the background on watchOS? I don't have an active workout session, and I don't need all heart rate data. Once every 15 minutes or so would be enough.

When the Network Extension(NETransparentProxyProvider) is installed and enabled, data cannot be sent to the UDP server
I implemented a Network Extension in the macOS, use NETransparentProxyProvider. After installing and enabling it, I implemented a UDP client to test its. I found that the UDP client failed to send the data successfully (via sendto, and it returned a success), and when using Wireshark to capture the network data packet, I still couldn't see this UDP data packet. The code for Network Extension is like this: @interface MyTransparentProxyProvider : NETransparentProxyProvider @end @implementation MyTransparentProxyProvider - (void)startProxyWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)options completionHandler:(void (^)(NSError *))completionHandler { NETransparentProxyNetworkSettings *objSettings = [[NETransparentProxyNetworkSettings alloc] initWithTunnelRemoteAddress:@"127.0.0.1"]; // included rules NENetworkRule *objIncludedNetworkRule = [[NENetworkRule alloc] initWithRemoteNetwork:nil remotePrefix:0 localNetwork:nil localPrefix:0 protocol:NENetworkRuleProtocolAny direction:NETrafficDirectionOutbound]; NSMutableArray<NENetworkRule *> *arrIncludedNetworkRules = [NSMutableArray array]; [arrIncludedNetworkRules addObject:objIncludedNetworkRule]; objSettings.includedNetworkRules = arrIncludedNetworkRules; // apply [self setTunnelNetworkSettings:objSettings completionHandler: ^(NSError * _Nullable error) { // TODO } ]; if (completionHandler != nil) completionHandler(nil); } - (BOOL)handleNewFlow:(NEAppProxyFlow *)flow { if (flow == nil) return NO; char szProcPath[PROC_PIDPATHINFO_MAXSIZE] = {0}; audit_token_t *lpAuditToken = (audit_token_t*)flow.metaData.sourceAppAuditToken.bytes; if (lpAuditToken != NULL) { proc_pidpath_audittoken(lpAuditToken, szProcPath, sizeof(szProcPath)); } if ([flow isKindOfClass:[NEAppProxyTCPFlow class]]) { NWHostEndpoint *objRemoteEndpoint = (NWHostEndpoint *)((NEAppProxyTCPFlow *)flow).remoteEndpoint; LOG("-MyTransparentProxyProvider handleNewFlow:] TCP flow! Process: (%d)%s, %s Remote: %s:%s, %s", lpAuditToken != NULL ? audit_token_to_pid(*lpAuditToken) : -1, flow.metaData.sourceAppSigningIdentifier != nil ? [flow.metaData.sourceAppSigningIdentifier UTF8String] : "", szProcPath, objRemoteEndpoint != nil ? (objRemoteEndpoint.hostname != nil ? [objRemoteEndpoint.hostname UTF8String] : "") : "", objRemoteEndpoint != nil ? (objRemoteEndpoint.port != nil ? [objRemoteEndpoint.port UTF8String] : "") : "", ((NEAppProxyTCPFlow *)flow).remoteHostname != nil ? [((NEAppProxyTCPFlow *)flow).remoteHostname UTF8String] : "" ); } else if ([flow isKindOfClass:[NEAppProxyUDPFlow class]]) { NSString *strLocalEndpoint = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", ((NEAppProxyUDPFlow *)flow).localEndpoint]; LOG("-[MyTransparentProxyProvider handleNewFlow:] UDP flow! Process: (%d)%s, %s LocalEndpoint: %s", lpAuditToken != NULL ? audit_token_to_pid(*lpAuditToken) : -1, flow.metaData.sourceAppSigningIdentifier != nil ? [flow.metaData.sourceAppSigningIdentifier UTF8String] : "", szProcPath, strLocalEndpoint != nil ? [strLocalEndpoint UTF8String] : "" ); } else { LOG("-[MyTransparentProxyProvider handleNewFlow:] Unknown flow! Process: (%d)%s, %s", lpAuditToken != NULL ? audit_token_to_pid(*lpAuditToken) : -1, flow.metaData.sourceAppSigningIdentifier != nil ? [flow.metaData.sourceAppSigningIdentifier UTF8String] : "", szProcPath ); } return NO; } @end The following methods can all enable UDP data packets to be successfully sent to the UDP server: 1.In -[MyTransparentProxyProvider startProxyWithOptions:completionHandler:], add the exclusion rule "The IP and port of the UDP server, the protocol is UDP"; 2.In -[MyTransparentProxyProvider startProxyWithOptions:completionHandler:], add the exclusion rule "All IPs and ports, protocol is UDP"; 3.In -[MyTransparentProxyProvider handleNewFlow:] or -[MyTransparentProxyProvider handleNewUDPFlow:initialRemoteEndpoint:], process the UDP Flow and return YES. Did I do anything wrong?

AppIntents + CSSearchableItemAttributeSet: only displayName indexed?
On iOS 18, I'm trying to index documents in Spotlight using the new combination of AppIntents+IndexedEntity. However, I don't seem to be able to index the textContent of the document. Only the displayName seems to be indexed. As recommended, I start with the defaultAttributeSet: /// I call this function to index in Spotlight static func indexInSpotlight(document: Document) async { do { if let entity = document.toEntity { try await CSSearchableIndex.default().indexAppEntities([entity]) } } catch { DLog("Spotlight: could not index document: \(document.name ?? "")") } } /// This is the corresponding IndexedEntity with the attributeSet @available(iOS 18, *) extension DocumentEntity { var attributeSet: CSSearchableItemAttributeSet { let attributeSet = defaultAttributeSet attributeSet.title = title attributeSet.displayName = title attributeSet.textContent = docContent attributeSet.thumbnailData = thumbnailData attributeSet.kind = "document" attributeSet.creator = Constants.APP_NAME return attributeSet } } How can I have more that the displayName to be indexed? Thanks :-)
