Overview

What should we know about testing the new Siri and beta software on iPad vs iPhone if we do not have a space 17 PRO device for beta software testing? And can the new Siri AI be activated on an iPad? Any requirements? Any other testing options? Thank you.

I started enrolling in the Apple Developer Program last Sunday. The confirmation email said I should receive a response within two business days, but it's now been five days and I still haven't heard back. Is this normal?

Kind folks, Was all setup for online access to several Q&A sessions at this WWDC, even posted some questions. But other priorities on my project prevented me from attending. Did any of you hear any news on direction finding with 3rd party devices at this year's WWDC? My current understanding is that (for iPhones later than 15) the NI framework returns null for direction. Apple recommends use of the ARkit in conjunction with NI (tech session way back in WWDC22!) FYI, I've been trying hard to get any information on this topic. Would be happy to share what public information/speculation I've found (including how Apple get's such good range and direction info in their Find My app for their AirTag 2 😉). Perhaps we can set up a small discussion group for sharing insights and experiences with emerging UWB technology. Comments appreciated. Mike

vesion: iOS 17+ When requesting Photo Library access on iOS, the system displays a standard permission dialog. And I just wanna save a image to user's photo library. Is it possible to replace or customize this system permission popup with a fully custom-designed UI? If customization is not allowed, is the recommended approach to first present a custom explanatory popup or screen and then trigger the system permission dialog?

Hi everyone, I’m working on a camera app as a learning project and have reached a point where I’m trying to better understand the intended architecture for Live Photo capture using AVCapturePhotoOutput. The app currently supports: Live Photos Depth data Location metadata Multiple lens presets on a virtual multi-camera device Everything is working well, but I’m now thinking about capture throughput and rapid shutter presses. Right now, my implementation is fairly conservative. I wait for a Live Photo capture to finish processing and importing before allowing another capture. This is reliable, but it doesn’t feel particularly camera-like when compared to Apple’s Camera app. One observation from field testing caught my attention: I took a Live Photo, immediately switched lenses, then took another Live Photo. When I viewed the first Live Photo later, the movie portion included the lens-switching actions that occurred after I pressed the shutter. That made me realize that I may be thinking about the capture lifecycle incorrectly. My questions are: When using AVCapturePhotoOutput with Live Photos enabled, what is the earliest point at which a capture can be considered “safely secured”? Is it expected that apps wait for PhotoKit import to complete before accepting another Live Photo capture request? If supporting rapid sequential shutter presses, is the recommended approach to queue capture requests and process them one at a time? Are there any best practices around lens changes or camera reconfiguration while a Live Photo is still being captured or processed? I’m not looking for details about the implementation of Apple’s Camera app. I’m mainly trying to understand the recommended approach when working with the public AVFoundation APIs. I’d appreciate any guidance, documentation references, or examples from developers who have worked through similar problems. Thanks!

I have a weird situation arising in my app where calling BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) seems to fail silently, without raising any of the BGTaskScheduler.Error's. Here's what's happening. A user registers and submits 5 BGContinuedProcessingTask's, with different ID's using the wildcard. When trying to submit the 6th task like this: try bgTask.submit() //submit task isCreatingBGTask = false // toggle ProgressView off dismiss() //Dismiss the sheet The sheet will dismiss, but the device never gives the haptic feedback, and the task is not visible in the notification centre. Having a maximum number of running tasks makes sense, but why isn't it raising the error BGTaskScheduler.Error(.immediateRunIneligible). It also doesn't seem like there's a way to query the tasks that are in progress (at least I couldn't find a way). So for now I'll just track my own tasks manually, and prevent submission at 5 tasks, but I'm wondering what would happen if another app had 2 tasks going, and then my user tries to submit 3 or something like that.

Hi everybody! Yesterday I requested for New siri in ios27, but nobody accepted my request yet. Can you help me pls?

Please help anyone. This is a new account for a new company. We've had Apple Accounts in other companies for YEARS. Now we created a new account - we started early, I don't even remember when, but I think January or February, and tried to open this Account. Since then, it is stuck in review. I cannot contact anyone, I cannot do anything, I cannot add anything (probably something was missing?). Can anyone help us? Our Registration ID is 7QSPNYTPVV. Is there something I can do? Escalate this somehow..?

The documentation specifies that when Contacts framework returns unified contacts that each fetched unified contact object (CNContact) has its own unique identifier that’s different from any individual contact’s identifier in the set of linked contacts and that when refetching a unified contact, that this identifier should be used. There is also an analogous identifier within the list of contactRelations, but each of these don't seem to corespondent to the unified contacts. For example, is a new contact (Sheryl Zakroff) is created in the simulator Contacts and their spouse is set to Hank Zakroff. However, the GUID created for the contactRelations identifier does not correlate to the original Hank Zakroff GUID and cannot be searched. Is this a bug or what is the indent of the contactRelations identifier? Here's a debug output of walking the unifiedContacts: Name: Hank Zakroff 2E73EE73-C03F-4D5F-B1E8-44E85A70F170 - Other : (555) 766-4823 - Other : (707) 555-1854 Name: David Taylor E94CD15C-7964-4A9B-8AC4-10D7CFB791FD - Other : 555-610-6679 Name: Sheryl Zakroff DE783BC8-7917-4138-93F6-3AF0FD4CE083 - Other : (707) 555-1854 - Spouse: <CNContactRelation: 0x60000000dd60: name=Hank M.

We currently use MapKit as our map layer for our application. We have 3D models of buildings and other features that we want to overlay and visualize on the map. The issue seems to be that - as far as I can tell - we can only pitch the map to whatever iOS decides is the "right" pitch for the map, not what our imagery has. So if we wanted to pitch the map even when 3D imagery isn't available it doesn't seem like that is possible. Are there options for us to provide our own 3D models / imagery in MapKit? Or is there something else we should be looking at?

I have been waiting since last tuesday for the new siri. My primary device, which is my phone is missing and it is out of battery in my home. I don't know where did my phone go. Still, is it possible to get the new siri? I am waiting on my iPad Pro(M1) 2021 model. Also is it my problem that it is taking so long?

WeatherService fails on every request with: WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" hourly forecast fetch failed: … Code=2 I've verified the entire setup and the error persists, which points to the App ID's WeatherKit token generation not being provisioned on Apple's backend: Team ID: 2LWCLD2636 Bundle ID: com.hoagiecorps.poppit WeatherKit capability and App Service both enabled on the App ID. com.apple.developer.weatherkit entitlement present in the signed binary and the embedded provisioning profile (verified via codesign -d --entitlements). A TestFlight build carrying the entitlement has been processed (VALID). Location authorized (When-In-Use); valid coordinates are obtained — the failure is purely the JWT auth step. Tried: device reboot, VPN off, iCloud Private Relay off, cycling the WeatherKit capability off/on plus regenerating the profile and clean rebuild, and waiting several days. Physical device, iOS 26. Could someone from the WeatherKit team please check the status for Team 2LWCLD2636, Bundle ID com.hoagiecorps.poppit, and enable WeatherKit token generation for this App ID? It looks like a backend entitlement sync is needed. Thanks!

It’s been since the end of WWDC Keynote, I’m still waitlisted for “New Siri” iOS 27 is done indexing. This is ridiculous. How many years I’ve been paying for a developer membership and they cannot release a simple plist file to open up the servers and let us in. Only the first that downloaded in the first 10 minutes got it while the rest of us that downloaded in the first 30 minutes are still waiting. its insane.

Does anyone have info about the Retention Messaging API. We've requested access to it, but there's no answer.

I have a SwiftData + CloudKit app that is deployed to the Mac App Store. As a diagram my situation looks like: On my Mac, I have installed the App Store version of the App. When developing it I run the app via Xcode, so I can have a debug build running. The initial stable schema was deployed to CloudKit production before the App release. Now, when I change the SwiftData schema again and run the Debug app on my Mac What happens is that: The SwiftData local store is on the latest schema The CloudKit schema for development is automatically updated That’s all good, but if I run the App Store app version of my app. By default, it uses the same SwiftData store for both builds of the app, which are being synced to different CloudKit schemas for development and production at the same time. As a result, I get an unreliable state where I have seen data duplication as a result, or CloudKit syncing just breaks. Also, since I’m developing the app, the changes to the schema in development may not make it to production, so I don’t want to promote those changes to production. So my question: What’s the recommended way to evolve the schema for an app already on the App Store? I haven’t seen any example or session from Apple that tackles this -what I consider common- use case. I tried to have different CloudKit containers for a "Dev" and "Prod" builds, but that wasn’t the solution.

I’m not sure if this is a ”care later in the summer” situation, but on beta 1, with an .adaptive Grid Item, a scrolling LazyVGrid will hop and “bounce” when scrolling back up from the bottom of the grid. I can see the scrollbar visibly hopping as item views are re-created. Anyone else seeing this?

Hello, I am unable to notarize any macOS app/archive with my Apple Developer Team.

I applied for the apple developer program and my payment went through and the account is on pending I received an email from the apple developer team that I need to upload my ID again, and when I press on the link I get this message: "Sorry, you don’t have access. Your account isn’t authorized to upload files." I tried contacting the support team but I haven't heard from them back how can I fix this? also now on my app says "enroll now" again although I have an active subscription

Hi Everyone, currently am using iPhone Air with IOS 26.5.1. and I have iPhone 15PM with 26.5. I need to data transfer from iPhone Air to iPhone 15 PM but not exist. I did cloud back up in iPhone Air, not successful. I did backup in MBA still same. I did network reset in iPhone Air still not successful transfer to Phone 15PM. all time transfer it showing error IOS not compatible. as per my opinion, in both phones IOS is 26.5 and it suppose to be support for transfer. I took support from Apple Chat, but even they didn't solve my issue. I hope can anyone guide me properly, its urgent to transfer data from iPhone Air to iPhone 15PM. thanks & regards. K. Santosh
