Overview

Issue: The search functionality in FamilyActivityPicker has disappeared on iPadOS 26.0+. This feature was working in previous versions but is now missing. Framework: FamilyControls Expected: Search bar should be available in FamilyActivityPicker to help users find apps quickly. Actual: Search functionality is completely missing. Impact: Makes app selection difficult for users with many installed apps. Is this a known issue? If it's a bug, please address it in an upcoming update. If intentional, guidance on alternatives would be appreciated. Thank you.

My app utilizes background audio to play music files. I have the audio background mode enabled and I initialize the AVAudioSession in playback mode with the mixWithOthers option. And it usually works great while the app is backgrounded. I listen for audio interruptions as well as route changes and I am able to handle them appropriately and I can usually resume my background audio no problem. I discovered an issue while connected to CarPlay though. Roughly 50% of the time when I disconnect from a phone call while connected to CarPlay I get the following error after calling the play() method of my AVAudioPlayer instance: "ATAudioSessionClientImpl.mm:281 activation failed. status = 561015905" If I instead try to start a new audio session I get a similar error: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=561015905 "Session activation failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Session activation failed} Like I said, this isn't reproducible 100% of the time and is so far only seen while connected to CarPlay. I don't think Im forgetting so additional capability or plist setting, but if anyone has any clues it would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise this is likely just a bug that I need to report to Apple. One very important note, and reason I believe it's just a bug, is that while I was testing I found that other music apps like Spotify will also fail to resume their audio at the same time my app fails. Another important detail is that when it works successfully I receive the audio session interruption ended notification, and when it doesn't work I only receive a route configuration change or route override notification. From there I am able to still successfully granted background time to execute code, but my call to resume audio fails with the above mentioned error codes.

Dear Apple, while implementing Declared Age Range API in my app, I've noticed a mistake in documentation: the isEligibleForAgeFeatures property is marked 26.0+ in documentation, but 26.2+ in Xcode, which ultimately leads to inability to use it with OS below 26.2. Moreover, I'm thoroughly confused by this quote from documentation: This flag returns true on iOS and iPadOS based on a person’s eligibility and always returns false on macOS. It leads me to two questions: Is it possible to use Declared Age Range API for macOS apps? Will it be possible to use it in future? Will there be any changes regarding this matter in a meantime (especially after Jan 1st)? If yes - when should we expect these changes? If no - why this API declares macOS 26+ support alongside iOS/iPadOS, if it simply doesn't work for macOS now? As of now, my iOS app works flawlessly with given API (on iOS 26.2) while macOS app returns isEligibleForAgeFeatures = false and requestAgeRange request always throws AgeRangeService.Error.notAvailable. Also, does it mean that one should not use isEligibleForAgeFeatures boolean while implementing Declared Age Range API for apps below iOS 26.2 (I mean 26.0+)? Or implementing given API for iOS 26.2+ is a sufficient way to go? So shouldn't the whole API be marked as 26.2+? The minimum iOS version in my app is 16.0 and minimum macOS version is 13.0 anyway, so the significant part of users is left out of these updates, but the main goal here is legal compliance.

Greetings my fellow engineers, I use SwiftData in my iOS app. The schema is unversioned and consists of a single model. I've been modifying the model for almost two years now and relying on automatic database migrations. I had no problems for all that time, but now trying to add a property to the model or even remove a property from the model results in an error which seems like SwiftData is no longer capable of performing an automatic migration. The log console has things like the following: CoreData: error: NSUnderlyingError : Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134190 "(null)" UserInfo={reason=Each property must have a unique renaming identifier} CoreData: error: reason : Can't find or automatically infer mapping model for migration CoreData: error: storeType: SQLite CoreData: error: configuration: default CoreData: annotation: options: CoreData: annotation: NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption : 1 CoreData: annotation: NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption : 1 CoreData: annotation: NSPersistentStoreRemoteChangeNotificationOptionKey : 1 CoreData: annotation: NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey : 1 CoreData: error: <NSPersistentStoreCoordinator: 0x7547b5480>: Attempting recovery from error encountered during addPersistentStore: 0x753f8d800 Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134140 "Persistent store migration failed, missing mapping model." Have you ever encountered such an issue? What are my options?

Hi, I have an "Apple Watch Only" app that you can download for free and conduct a 7 day trial. After that, there is an IAP to unlock a lifetime license. For the life of me I can't find out how the process of redeeming promo codes for the IAP should work. Once generated, people try to redeem them in the AppStore (on their phone), but then they end up in a hanging process saying it's reinstalling the app to redeem the offer. But then nothing happens. Also running "Restore Purchase" within the app to pickup any maybe by now activated license is not working. Why does it even want to reinstall the (free) app? This doesn't sound right. Does anyone have IAP for a watch-only app and can shed some light on the promo code topic?

Hi; Here is a simple program that reads a file and counts number of 1s bits in it. The file it reads, simple.txt, is a static text file, resides in the file system, and nothing is touching it during the program execution. The file's length is 436 bytes. When the program is run in the terminal it produces consistent results. Each run counts 1329 1s bits. It behaves differently when run in Xcode. A simple command-line tool project having a single file. Running the program multiple times, via Command-R, produces something strange. That is each execution randomly produces one of two results. One is expected 1329 1s bits, another one shows 1333 1s bits. That is it counts four bits more. Again, each run randomly produces one of those two results. And it happens only when I run the program in Xcode. I tried a different sample text file and experienced the same behavior, but the difference in 1s bits count was five bits. Any idea of how this behavior can be explained? func countOnes(in byte: UInt8) -> Int { var nOnes = 0 var mask: UInt8 = 0x1 while mask != 0 { if (byte & mask) > 1 { nOnes += 1 } mask <<= 1 } return nOnes } func countOnes(in buffer: UnsafeMutableRawBufferPointer, length: Int) -> Int { var nOnes = 0 for byte in buffer[0...length] { nOnes += countOnes(in: byte) } return nOnes } var fd = try FileDescriptor.open("sample.txt", .readOnly) var buffer = UnsafeMutableRawBufferPointer.allocate(byteCount: 4096, alignment: 4) var nBytes = try fd.read(into: buffer) var nOnes = 0 while nBytes > 0 { nOnes += countOnes(in: buffer, length: nBytes) nBytes = try fd.read(into: buffer) } buffer.deallocate() try fd.close() print(nOnes) My machine Darwin MacBookPro 24.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 24.6.0: Wed Oct 15 21:08:19 PDT 2025; root:xnu-11417.140.69.703.14~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T8103 arm64 macOS Sequoia 15.7.2 Xcode 26.1.1 (17B100) Thanks, Igor

It's been 2 weeks, I connected my card for making payment for developer account to publish my App on Ass Store. I have not received any update about the account. How to publish my App on apple Appstore

Hello guys, I have been trying to advertise in the background but I can’t seem to make it work. In my case, I want if a device is acting as a peripheral and the app goes to the background it still can be discoverable and be able to write/read to/from it by the central. I have added the background mode “Acts as a Bluetooth accessory”. When will willRestoreState be called? What should I do in willRestoreState? Will it always be discoverable or have some limitations? Should I stop advertising at any point? How should I clean up after the view is dismissed? Must the peripheral manager be initialized in the AppDelegate? and if so, will it always be advertising even if I don't want it to? What are the battery concerns? Also, I have encountered an issue that my iPhone device can discover an Android device but not the opposite. What could be the problem of this? Thank you. Best regards

iPhone, iPad, MacOS Build numbers are all the same but each actual platform reports the actual version.

Hi everyone. I'm trying to use https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get-transaction-info to retrieve order information. How can I get the refund status of an order through this API? Also, Apple's webhook notification for refunds includes fields like revocationReason and revocationType. Can these be retrieved through the API? I've noticed that some refund orders have these fields when retrieved using get-transaction-info api, but others don't. I don't know the reason for these differences. Could you please explain? Thank you very much.

With the release of the newest version of tahoe and MLX supporting RDMA. Is there a documentation link to how to utilizes the libdrma dylib as well as what functions are available? I am currently assuming it mostly follows the standard linux infiniband library but I would like the apple specific details.

In my impression, this issue has been around for years. In the Mac App Store, the app description is collapsed by default. After clicking "More" to expand it, the last few lines of the description are always cropped. It seems that the more content there is, the more content gets cropped. The following screenshots are from the same app, one with the system language set to Chinese and the other to English.

Hi everyone, I’m seeing recurring internal AVFoundation camera logs on iOS 26.2 and I’m trying to understand whether this is expected behavior or a regression in the capture pipeline. These logs appear shortly after starting an AVCaptureSession, while video frames are being delivered, and also when the camera is stopped or the capture session is torn down. <<<< FigXPCUtilities >>>> signalled err=-17281 at <>:302 <<<< FigCaptureSourceRemote >>>> Fig assert: "err == 0 " at bail (FigCaptureSourceRemote.m:569) - (err=-17281) Even in this clean, minimal setup, the same logs appear on iOS 26.2 The exact same logic did not produce these logs on iOS 18.x. To rule out issues caused by my own code, GPT created a minimal SwiftUI example from scratch. My primary interest is to perform real-time processing on the video frames delivered by the camera (via AVCaptureVideoDataOutput), for tasks such as analysis, computer vision, or custom frame handling, while simultaneously displaying the live preview. Thanks in advance for any insight. Example Code

Hello, I seem to have a strange bug when testing 2 of my Apps that calls SubscriptionStoreView(groupID: storekitmanager.groupID), where storekitmanager is using @Observable, with groupID from the Subscription Group in App Store Connect. They have the following: Yearly, Biannually, and Monthly. Their productIDs and groupIDs have been configured in each app with the correct IDs. In my main Apple ID, when the SubscriptionStoreView is presented, selecting Monthly, tap Subscribe, and nothing happens. Selecting either Yearly or Biannually, tap Subscribe and the Confirmation Dialog that triggers faceID/touchID will appear correctly. This happens in both Apps for TestFlight. I have a Manage Subscriptions button that uses: manageSubscriptionsSheet(isPresented:subscriptionGroupID:) I can change the subscription to Monthly in that manage subscriptions. However, if I switch to a Sandbox Apple Account, the "bug" described above does not happen. The Sandbox account when selecting Monthly and tap Subscribe will trigger the Confirmation Dialog (in both Apps). Not sure if my main account is "stuck" in some loop where it is trying to purchase Monthly in TestFlight but it is not completed. Has anyone ever encountered such a bug?
