I am trying to communicate with the backend of my project. So I need to install the certificate into the simulator. I have the .pem file but when I drag-dropped it into the simulator, I got
the error "Simulator device failed to complete the requested operation.". The simulator is an iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 18.5. Is there any way to install the cert to my simulator?
PS: I can't use Apple Configurator or MDM because I am using the office's Mac. And I can't install anything there. So I can only do it manually.

My Xcode project has the following configuration:
1 iOS app target
1 Xcode framework target (mach-o-type "Dynamic Library")
5 static libraries
Dependencies:
All the static libraries are target dependencies of the framework.
The framework is the only target dependency of the iOS app.
For the iOS app target, within the General tab > Frameworks, Libraries & Embedded content, I've set the framework as "Do not embed"
So now I have a dynamic framework which won't be copied to the .app bundle in the build output.
As per my understanding, this should result in a runtime error, dyld should not be able to find the framework files as they were not embedded in the final .app bundle.
But regardless, my app runs without any errors, using all the methods exposed by the framework.
What is the correct understanding here?
What exactly does Embed/Do not embed mean (apart from excluding the files from .app bundle)
When both settings are specified, is there any priority or precedence of one setting over the other?
Hi everyone,
I’m encountering a crash in my app and need help understanding what’s causing it and how to resolve it.
As stated in the crash report, the issue is caused by exceeding the system-wide per-process port limit. Can you tell me how to locate and identify why this is happening?
Below are the full report of the crash log:

We are experiencing an issue where our app gets stuck during launch. The splash screen appears for some time, and then the app either becomes unresponsive or closes unexpectedly. However, there are no crash logs captured in Xcode or Firebase Crashlytics, indicating that the app is not crashing but rather being terminated. This issue is preventing affected users from properly launching the app.
Additionally, some users have reported occasional lag and slow performance when using the app. The issue occurs only for a specific subset of users and appears to be related to other Electronic Logging Device (ELD) apps running in the background. When these apps are active, our app struggles to launch and sometimes becomes unresponsive.
We suspect that this behavior could be related to system resource allocation, such as high memory consumption by background apps, which might be affecting our app's ability to launch correctly. However, we have been unable to reproduce the issue on our end despite multiple attempts.
Actions Performed During App Launch:
Firebase configuration
API requests, including:
Fetching account details
Registering the FCM token with the server
Asynchronous background requests to fetch POI details
Creating a local database and storing POI data in local storage
We would like guidance from Apple regarding potential causes and debugging strategies, especially in scenarios where the app does not produce crash logs but still fails to launch properly. Any insights into memory management, conflicts with background applications, or system resource constraints would be highly appreciated.
Steps to Reproduce:
Install and launch the app on an affected device.
Observe that the app gets stuck on the launch screen.
After some time, the app terminates unexpectedly.
Issue is inconsistent and occurs only for certain users.
Presence of other ELD apps running in the background appears to influence the issue.
Failed to fetch certificates:

I have already confirmed that: All API keys were generated correctly. All required roles and permissions have been assigned in App Store Connect.
To confirm my doubt, I requested api key from a fellow developer, and that worked in CodeMagic without throwing an error.
Could you please help me figure out why the given Content Provider ID is not being recognized?
Thank you.
We are building a framework which will be used by other apps. Want to integrate crash reporting and diagnostics for our framework. Want to report crashes to our backend happening inside our framework only and ignore app level crashes. Is it possible to filter crashes like that ?
I created 2 iOS projects in Xcode:
Project 1:
4 targets (main app + 3 app extensions)
4 static libraries
the main app's target dependencies include - 3 app extensions and the 4 libs.
the main app's binary is linked to all 4 libs
similarly, each extension is linked to all 4 libs
Project 2:
5 targets (main app + 3 app extensions + 1 framework)
4 static libraries
the main app's target dependencies include - 3 app extensions and the framework
each extension is dependent only on the framework
the framework's target dependencies include all the 4 static libs
As per my understanding, the app bundle size for Project 2 should be less than that of Project 1, since we eliminate duplicating the static libs for each target by using a framework instead.
However, I have found that the bundle size is more for Project 2 as compared to the bundle size of project 1.
I do not understand, why?
I'm trying to rewrite an old AppleScript mail rule that I used extensively as a Mail extension using the MailKit framework and I've run into an issue.
Previously, when developing the script, it was possible to debug it by selecting the message I wanted it applied to and choosing the Mail.app menu item "Message/Apply Rules"
This would re-execute my script and I could iterate over it as many times as I liked while developing.
I haven't found any great way of doing this for my extension with a MEMessageActionHandler. The closest I've found is to forward the message to myself and wait for it to come back in again over the internet, at which point the extension would get executed again. Needless to say, this makes debugging my MEMessageAction handler much slower.
I've tried a number of things in Mail.app to try and get it to re-execute my extension with a particular message without any luck. Does anyone know of a good process for debugging a MEMessageActionHandler that doesn't involve forwarding the message to myself over and over and waiting for it to come in each time?

Any time I attempt to download the latest beta of macOS 26, Safari stops the download at Zero KB, with no indication of why.
I'm able to download OS 26 beta 8 for the other platforms absolutely fine, just not macOS. Pressing the little orange "reload" button, just results in another copy of the same zero KB file bundle on the file system.
Can anyone help please?
I'm on Mac Studio with Apple M1 Max and I recently upgrated to Sequoia 15.4. After that, Docker won't run anymore.
I tried almost all proposed solutions on the web to make Docker to work with Sequoia 15.4 (e.g. workaround at GitHub), without success.
Because of this, now I'm stuck in all of my development activities. For example, I cannot develop and deploy anymore my projects and applications.
What can I make to solve that?

Hallo zusammen,
ich habe seit einiger Zeit ein Problem, dass ich eine App 'Warenwirtschaft' aus Xcode heraus nicht mehr im Simulator oder auf meinem IPad starten kann.
Ein Compilieren und Verteilen über TestFlight funktioniert weiterhin ohne Probleme.
Leider klappt das Debugger nun nicht mehr.
Anbei die Fehlermeldung von Xcode.
Ich hoffe ihr könnt mir helfen.

I am trying to fix a bug in my iOS app that is dependent upon date and time. Is there any way to set the actual time on the iOS Simulator to a specific date and time? I know that you can set one for the status bar, but that doesn't affect the actual date and time that is reported by the system to apps.
If I build an x64 binary on my M4 Mini, when I try to debug it using Visual Studio remote debugging the connection is closed, which means I cannot debug my code in x64 mode. I need to be able to do this as I have architecture specific code.
I have Rosetta installed.
FWIW I have the same issue with lldb-mi :(

After upgrading to the latest Sequoia on Intel, I am getting warnings like:

on my own programs as well as others like Emacs. Is there a way to silence these warnings? They seem to be a bug in this macOS release.

When you have a mac, creating xcprivacy is pretty straightforward for your app, you simply use xcode, then select the sdks and target them and your privacy manifest is ready.
In the other hand, when you are using CI/CD solutions you might not use xcode direclty.
In that instance and if you are coding in flutter, you need to create your privacy manifest by hand.
I would like guidance how to write that file, I would it for a given third party SDK and where to put that file in the flutter project (just to be sure)
For example we choose the most important third party SDK manifest: FUTTER framework.
I keep getting errors about it for my app, got alot of builds get the INVALID BINARY error because of that, and my mails indicating me a problem with the manifest.
Please show me the source code of the manifest privacy for a project where a third party SDK is present (in particular: flutter sdk)
Thanks
Hi! I was wondering if anyone else encountered similar issues and what the solution ended up being.
We're encountering weird sign-in issues on our iOS version of our app. It seems like an uninstall and reinstall solves it, but the issue seems to only impact users who underwent the transfer process from one iOS device to another. What I am curious about:
What is copied over from one device to another in this process?
Is there a way outside of owning multiple test devices to replicate this flow?
Our current suspicion is that NSUserDefaults is not being cleared by our app on first start, and that stale data is copied over during this transfer process, breaking the sign-in until a re-install wipes everything properly.
Does it seem like we're on the right track with this assumption, or completely out to lunch?
So, as we found out from WWDC, the migration to Apple Silicon is inevitable.
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a replacement for Macintosh Common Lisp on Apple Silicon? I was using it back in the MPW days and struggling to keep the Lisp code working, but Apple Silicon has thrown a money wrench at it!
Thanks in advance for any advice on any available Apple Silicon Lisp development tools!

There was a time that Apple Developer Documentation provides a filter to show the changes across versions, at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technologies , with purple (modified), green (added), and red (deprecated) annotations.
I wonder if this feature is completely removed, or is it still hiding somewhere? It is helpful to diff the API changes among versions. Thanks.
edit: as pointed out by Rick, here is an archive link to what it used to look like
Hello Apple Support,
I’m facing an issue with Background Fetch in my React Native project. When I click on Simulate Background Fetch in Xcode, everything works as expected on the iOS Simulator—background tasks run smoothly, and data is fetched without issues. However, on a real device, the app goes to the background but doesn’t execute any of the scheduled background tasks, and it also remains in the background without terminating.
Here’s some additional context:
React Native Project: I’m using React Native to develop this app, and the background tasks involve:
Getting User Location: Fetching the user’s location in the background.
API Calls: Calling an API to fetch necessary information based on the user’s location.
Scheduling Notifications and Alarms: Scheduling notifications and alarms based on the API response data.
Simulator vs. Real Device:
In the iOS Simulator, all these background tasks trigger and function correctly when I simulate Background Fetch.
On the real device, however, none of these tasks are triggered when I try to simulate Background Fetch. The app only moves to the background without performing any tasks or getting terminated.
Device and Configuration Details:
iOS Version: 17
Device Model: Iphone xs, Iphone 11, iphone 7
Background Modes: Background Fetch is enabled in Capabilities, and I’ve set the fetch interval to the minimum for testing.
I’ve verified that all configurations are correctly set, and I’ve tried restarting the device and Xcode, but the issue persists. Is there something specific about Background Fetch that could prevent it from functioning as expected on physical devices? Any guidance on troubleshooting or additional steps would be highly appreciated.
Thank you!
