Overview

[Submitted as FB22200608] With Increase Contrast turned on, the selected row highlight in a List behaves inconsistently between light and dark appearance on iPad. In light appearance the blue selection highlight correctly becomes darker, but in dark appearance it becomes lighter instead. The text contrast ratio drops from about 3:1 to about 1.5:1, well below accessibility guidelines. This reproduces both in the simulator and on a physical device. The sample uses a standard SwiftUI List inside NavigationSplitView with built-in selection styling. No custom colors or styling are applied. REPRO STEPS Create a new Multiplatform project. Replace ContentView with code below. Build and run on iPad. Select an item in the list. Turn on Dark appearance (Cmd-Shift-A in Simulator). Turn on Increase Contrast (Cmd-Control-Shift-A in Simulator). Observe the selected row highlight. ACTUAL In light appearance, the blue selection highlight becomes darker when Increase Contrast is on, improving contrast as expected. In dark appearance, the blue selection highlight becomes lighter when Increase Contrast is on, reducing contrast between the selection background and the white text. EXPECTED Increase Contrast should consistently increase contrast. In dark appearance, the selection highlight should become darker—or otherwise increase contrast with the foreground text—not lighter. SAMPLE CODE struct ContentView: View { @State private var selection: String? var body: some View { NavigationSplitView { Text("Sidebar") } content: { List(selection: $selection) { Text("Item One") .tag("One") Text("Item Two") .tag("Two") } } detail: { if let selection { Text(selection) } else { Text("Select an item") } } } } SCREEN RECORDING CONTACTS The Contacts app behaves correctly. When Increase Contrast is turned on, the selection blue becomes darker, improving contrast. PASSWORDS The Passwords app, however, exhibits the issue. With Increase Contrast turned on, the selection blue becomes lighter instead of darker, reducing contrast.

My MusicKit developer token returns 401 (empty body) on every Apple Music API catalog endpoint. I've tried two different keys — both fail identically. Setup: Team ID: K79RSBVM9G Key ID: URNQV5UDGB (MusicKit enabled, associated with Media ID media.audio.explore.musickit) Apple Developer Program License Agreement accepted April 14, 2026 Token format (matches docs exactly): Header: {"alg":"ES256","kid":"URNQV5UDGB"} Payload: {"iss":"K79RSBVM9G","iat":,"exp":<now+15777000>} What works: /v1/storefronts/us returns 200 What fails: Every catalog endpoint returns 401 with empty body: /v1/catalog/us/search?types=artists&term=test /v1/catalog/us/artists/5920832 /v1/catalog/us/genres /v1/test The token self-verifies (signature is valid). I've tried with and without typ:"JWT", with the origin claim, and with a manually signed JWT bypassing the jsonwebtoken library. Same 401 every time. What am I missing?

I have an Apple account that was locked last September. I recently managed to log back in and renewed it, but I need to accept Apple's new policy. I've realized I've lost ownership, so I can't accept the new policy. What should I do now? I've emailed Apple and haven't received a reply for three weeks.

Hi everyone, Recently, a user purchased an annual subscription in one of my apps but hasn’t used the service much (I track usage through my backend). The user emailed me saying the purchase was made by mistake and had already submitted refund requests through the report portal. However, the requests were declined twice, and they can no longer submit another refund request. I suspect this may be because, in RevenueCat, I previously set the developer preference for refunds to “Prefer to decline,” due to users abusing AI trials. I have since changed the refund preference to “Prefer to grant,” but the user is no longer able to request a refund. May I know how I should proceed in this situation? I’ve already contacted Apple, but I’d appreciate hearing how others handle similar cases. Thanks!

Hello, Looking for guidance from Apple engineers or developers who have used Push to Talk in production I am developing an iOS application called Companion AI / Theo Voice, designed for elderly users. The goal of the app is to provide a simple, voice-first interactive assistant that enables: natural voice interaction (no typing required) daily assistance (reminders, well-being, conversation) bidirectional voice communication (the user can immediately respond by voice) ⸻ How it works The app operates in two main modes: Conversation mode the user opens the app the assistant speaks the user replies naturally by voice Proactive mode in specific useful situations (e.g. medication reminders, check-ins) the app initiates a voice interaction the user can respond immediately ⸻ Important constraints there is no continuous listening the microphone is only active during interactions users can disable proactive interactions frequency is limited and user-controlled ⸻ Question We are considering using the Push to Talk framework in order to: allow the app to be awakened in the background initiate a voice interaction enable immediate voice response from the user Would this usage be considered aligned with the intended use of Push to Talk? Are there any specific recommendations to ensure compliance with App Store Review Guidelines? Thank you very much for your guidance.

I file a lot of bug reports. I also ask a lot of third-party developers to file bug reports about problems they see. This post is my attempt at collecting together some hints and tips about Apple’s bug reporting process. To file a bug report, use Feedback Assistant. To file an enhancement request (ER), use Feedback Assistant. In the “What type of issue are you reporting?” popup, choose Suggestion. If you’re filing a bug against an API, choose Developer Technologies & Resources at the top level. The technologies popup should then list familiar items, from Accelerate Framework to XPC. If you can’t find the correct item, select “Something else not on this list”. Feedback Assistant is both a website and an app. For details on how to access the app, see Opening the app on the Developer > Bug Reporting page. For lots of great hints and tips about filing bugs, see File effective bug reports. I may repeat some of the info covered by that article, but only where I think it’s particularly important. After filing a bug report, please include the bug number in your DevForums post. Feedback Assistant shows the bug number in both the bug list and the bug detail view. Bug numbers start with FB and continue with a sequence of digits. For example, a recent bug report posted here on DevForums was FB11357055. Including the FB prefix avoids any confusion as to what type of bug number this is. Occasionally you’ll see other types of bug numbers. In release notes they are just in parens, so (99071807), and in DTS documents they have an r. prefix, so (r. 99071807). These are Radar numbers. Radar is the internal bug system here at Apple. Other developers can’t see your bug report. However, posting the bug number is still important for a couple of reasons: It allows Apple folks to quickly track down your issue. If another developer wants to file a related bug, they can reference your bug number in their bug report. You can share bug reports with other members of your team. For details on how to do that, see Collaborating with your team on the Developer > Bug Reporting page. Otherwise you can’t see a bug report filed by another developer, or one filed internally at Apple. One option here is to file your own bug and request that it be marked as a duplicate of the original bug. You’ll then be notified when the original bug is closed. The File effective bug reports article discusses the importance of including a sysdiagnose log with your bug report. I have a few additional tips: Include a sysdiagnose log from the machine that’s having the problem. Sometimes I see folks with an iOS problem include a sysdiagnose log for their development Mac )-: Include a sysdiagnose log even if you attach a test project that reproduces the problem. The contents of the log help with screening, making sure that your bug gets to the right person quickly. And that person will be very grateful to have your test project! If multiple machines are involved — for example, you’re reporting a Handoff problem — include a sysdiagnose log from each machine. Trigger the sysdiagnose log as soon as possible after you see the problem. The sooner you trigger the log, the more likely it is to capture relevant info. If the problem is hard to reproduce, see Using a Sysdiagnose Log to Debug a Hard-to-Reproduce Problem for hints on how to capture an actionable sysdiagnose log. If you install a debug profile, install it before you reproduce the problem. These profiles typically enable more logging, and you want that logging to be active at the time of the problem. Most profiles activate immediately but some require that you restart. Follow the instructions that came with the profile. When reproducing the problem, make a rough note of the time and include that in your bug report. This doesn’t have to be super precise. Just note down the time, with seconds, shortly after you reproduce the problem. If the bug involves a crash, reproduce the crash outside of Xcode and then take your sysdiagnose log. This means running your code as the user would, so running an app from the Finder on macOS, running an app from the Home screen on iOS, and so on. If you reproduce the crash inside Xcode, the Xcode debugger catches the crash and prevents the system from generating a crash report to include in the sysdiagnose log. File focused bug reports. Imagine you’re seeing two problems, A and B, related to the same API. Don’t file a single bug that covers both A and B. Rather, file separate bugs for A and B. Feel free to reference your A bug in your B bug, and vice versa. Finally, some personal notes: DevForums is not an official support channel. Mentioning a problem here is not the same as filing a bug about it. That’s true even if you’re discussing your issue with an Apple person. Apple is a big company, and it’s very unlikely that the person you’re talking to is directly responsible for fixing your bug. Historically I used to post a lot of Radar links, of the forms rdar:nnn, where nnn is the bug number. I no longer use these links because I’ve found that they confuses folks. They click the link and wonder why it does nothing. If you post an FB number here, DevForums automatically turns it into a link. However, that link is only useful to you. Other folks can’t access the bug via that link. I’ve filed a bug against DevForums requesting that it only generate this link for the bug’s originator (r. 92946014). In the meantime, I work around this by putting FB numbers in code style, which disables this link generation. If you want to share bug information outside of DevForums, one popular option is Open Radar (https://openradar.appspot.com/). Apple uses a lot of open source and many open source projects maintain their own bug tracker. Two big examples are Swift and WebKit. If your bug originates in such an open source project, consider filing it in the project’s bug tracker. You can then go on to submit a pull request with the fix (-: Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@" + "apple.com" Revision History 2026-04-20 Added ER as a shortcut for enhancement request. 2025-08-07 Updated “Developer Technologies & SDKs” to “Developer Technologies & Resources”. 2024-03-07 Made minor editorial changes. 2023-10-26 Added a link to Using a Sysdiagnose Log to Debug a Hard-to-Reproduce Problem.

Hi, I've now identified a few areas when BGContinuedProcessingTask gets expired by the system no progress for ~30 seconds high CPU usage high temperature Some of these I can preempt and expire preemptively and handle the notification, others I cannot and just need to let the failure bubble up. When the failure does bubble up, I'd like to update the title and subtitle. I'm able to update the title, but the subtitle is fixed at "Task Failed" Is there any workaround? Or shall I file a bug here?

I have this code in my Virutalization application let process = Process() process.executableURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/usr/sbin/diskutil") process.arguments = ["image", "create", "blank", "--fs", "none", "--format", "ASIF", "--size", "2GiB", url.path ] try process.run() process.waitUntilExit() if process.terminationStatus == 0 { print("✅ Disk image creation succeeded.") } else { print("❌ Disk image creation failed with exit code \(process.terminationStatus)") } } catch { print("Process failed to launch: \(error.localizedDescription)") return } this code was working fine until Tahoe 26.2. with the update of 26.3 the system freezes at process.waitUntilExit() The code never exits and i get beech balls. This is working fine with intel macs. i am getting the problem in apple silicon m4 mac mini. Any help would be appreciated.

When an app is trying to access identities put in the keychain by cryptotokenkit extension, the user gets asked a permission pop-up which reads 'Token Access Request" would like access a token provided by: " with 2 options 'Don't allow' and 'OK' I accidently clicked "Don't allow" and now can't access identities put in crypto token kit. How can I reset the preference?

Hello, I recently submitted an update for my app, and I would really appreciate it if you could review it when possible. The latest version includes important fixes and improvements. Please let me know if anything else is needed from my side. Thank you for your time and support.

I'm writing a read-only filesystem extension. I see that the documentation for loadResource(resource:options:replyHandler:) claims that the --rdonly option is supported, which suggests that this should be possible. However, I have never seen this option provided to my filesystem extension, even if I return usableButLimited as a probe result (where it doesn't mount at all - FB19241327) or pass the -r or -o rdonly options to the mount(8) command. Instead I see those options on the volume's activate call. But other than saving that "readonly" state (which, in my case, is always the case) and then throwing on all write-related calls I'm not sure how to actually mark the filesystem as "read-only." Without such an indicator, the user is still offered the option to do things like trash items in Finder (although of course those operations do not succeed since I throw an EROFS error in the relevant calls). It also seems like the FSKit extensions that come with the system handle read-only strangely as well. For example, for a FAT32 filesystem, if I mount it like mount -r -F -t msdos /dev/disk15s1 /tmp/mnt Then it acts... weirdly. For example, Finder doesn't know that the volume is read-only, and lets me do some operations like making new folders, although they never actually get written to disk. Writing may or may not lead to errors and/or the change just disappearing immediately (or later), which is pretty much what I'm seeing in my own filesystem extension. If I remove the -F option (thus using the kernel extension version of msdos), this doesn't happen. Are read-only filesystems currently supported by FSKit? The fact that extensions like Apple's own msdos also seem to act weirdly makes me think this is just a current FSKit limitation, although maybe I'm missing something. It's not necessarily a hard blocker given that I can prevent writes from happening in my FSKit module code (or, in my case, just not implement such features at all), but it does make for a strange experience. (I reported this as FB21068845, although I'm mostly asking here because I'm not 100% sure this is not just me missing something.)

AppleOS 26 introduces LowLevelInstanceData that can reduce CPU draw calls significantly by instancing. However, I have noticed trouble with animating each individual instance. As I wanted low-level control, I'm using a custom system and LowLevelInstanceData.replace(using:) to update the transform each frame. The update closure itself is extremely efficient (Xcode Instruments reports nearly no cost). But I noticed extremely high runloop time, reach around 20ms. Time Profiler shows that the CPU is blocked by kernel.release.t6401. I think it is caused by synchronization between CPU and GPU, however, as I am already using a MTLCommandBuffer to coordinate it, I don't understand why I am still seeing large CPU time.

I have a question regarding cold start and pre-warming behavior on iOS. I’m developing a SwiftUI app that continuously receives data from a BLE device in the background. We’ve observed that after the BLE stream stops, the OS often terminates our app. Later, when the sensor comes back into range, iOS appears to relaunch (or reinitialize) the app. In our app, we use a WindowGroup like this: WindowGroup { AppView(store: store) } We’ve placed our BLE reconnection logic inside a .task modifier in AppView. What’s confusing is this: Most of the time, when the app is relaunched, AppView is created and the .task runs as expected. However, in about 1 out of 10 cases, AppView is not created at all, so the .task does not execute. I’m trying to understand: Under what conditions does iOS relaunch an app without fully initializing the SwiftUI view hierarchy? Is this related to pre-warming or background relaunch mechanisms (e.g., CoreBluetooth state restoration)? What determines whether the WindowGroup and root view are actually instantiated? Any insight into the system’s relaunch behavior or lifecycle in this scenario would be greatly appreciated.

On iOS 26.4, I set a Screen Time passcode. However, when I go to Settings > Apps > [Our App] and turn off Screen Time Access for the app, the system asks for Face ID instead of the Screen Time passcode. As a result, Screen Time access can be disabled without entering the Screen Time passcode. Steps to Reproduce 1. Set a Screen Time passcode on iOS 26.4. 2. Open Settings > Apps > [Our App]. 3. Turn off Screen Time Access for the app. Expected Result The system should require the Screen Time passcode before allowing Screen Time access to be disabled. Actual Result The system asks for Face ID instead of the Screen Time passcode, and Screen Time access is disabled.

Because of this, in Swift 6 mode, Xcode complains about the access, and ask me to use unsafe keyword. To fix it, I need to do this: Anyone can explain this abrupt nonisolated(unsafe) change?

Hi everyone, I'm developing a macOS app using Tauri 2. I need to test In-App Purchases (IAP), which requires running the actual built .app (it doesn't work properly in the development environment).I tried two approaches: Apple Development Certificate (free account): After cargo tauri build, the app "Mind Elixir.app" shows this error when I try to open it: “Mind Elixir.app” was not opened because it contains malware. This action did not harm your Mac. Apple Distribution Certificate: The app builds successfully, but because it is not notarized, Gatekeeper completely blocks it and I cannot open it at all. I just want to test IAP locally on my own Mac during development. Is there any other way to get a properly signed and runnable .app for testing IAP? Any help or workaround would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I’m looking for guidance on a notarization submission that has been stuck in In Progress for over 24 hours.

Questions: Is this normal for a first notarization on a new Developer ID account? Is there anything I should do besides wait? Can Apple check whether this submission is stuck in the queue? Thanks.
