Overview

I'm trying to run sample Trails app from the documentation, unaltered. When I do the build, I get a Command ValidateAppShortcutStringsMetadata failed with a nonzero exit code error. How do I debug this? I'm trying this on Xcode 16.4.

"No records found" If I create a new record on the console, I can copy the record name. I can then query for recordName and get that individual record back. BUT no other queries work. I cannot query all records. I cannot query by individual property. Just returns "no records found" Seems like my indexes got messed up. Is there a way to reset indexes on prod? This is on a coredata.cloudkit managed zone.

Given a View in SwiftUI for macOS, how can I tell if that view is hidden either because it, or any of its ancestor's opacity is 0.0 or the .hidden modifier has been applied? Presumably I can manually do this with an Environment value on the ancestor view, but I'm curious if this can be done more idiomatically. An example use case: I have views that run long-running Tasks via the .task(id:) modifier. These tasks only need to be running if the View itself is visible to the user. When the View is hidden, the task should stop. When the View reappears, the Task should restart. This happens automatically when Views are created and destroyed, but does not happen when a view is only hidden.

Description: Hello, I recently received the following email from Apple: We're writing to inform you that your company isn't in compliance with the Apple Developer Program License Agreement (DPLA). Section 11.2 (Termination) states: (g) if You engage, or encourage others to engage, in any misleading, fraudulent, improper, unlawful or dishonest act relating to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, misrepresenting the nature of Your Application (e.g., hiding or trying to hide functionality from Apple’s review, falsifying consumer reviews for Your Application, engaging in payment fraud, etc.). Be aware that manipulating App Store chart rankings, user reviews or search index may result in the loss of your developer program membership. Please address this issue promptly. I’m trying to understand how other developers handled this warning. Could you please share your experience: Did you identify what triggered the warning? Did you need to remove or change anything in your apps? Did Apple require a formal response or evidence? How did you confirm that the issue was resolved? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

The Wi‑Fi Alliance’s Wi‑Fi Aware data communication uses IPv6. However, in Chapter 53 “Wi‑Fi Aware” of the Accessory Design Guidelines for Apple Devices, Release R26, it is stated that “The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) for IPv6 address resolution is not supported.” This has caused confusion among developers: Does Apple’s Wi‑Fi Aware data communication actually use IPv6? What is the impact of “The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) for IPv6 address resolution is not supported” in Apple’s implementation?

I have a question about how UIKit expects us to handle interaction events at scale. From what I understand so far: For UIControls (UIButton, UISwitch, UITextField, etc.), we explicitly register with addTarget(_:action:for:). For gestures, we add UIGestureRecognizer instances to views. For UIView subclasses, we can override touch methods like touchesBegan/touchesEnded. All of this must be done on the main thread, since UIKit isn’t thread-safe. Now here’s my main concern If I have a complex UI with hundreds or thousands of widgets, am I expected to perform these registrations individually for each widget and each high-level event (tap, long press, editing changed, etc.)? Or does UIKit provide a more centralized mechanism? In short: Is per-widget, per-event registration the “normal” UIKit approach, or are there best practices for scaling event handling without writing thousands of addTarget or addGestureRecognizer calls? Thanks!

I am a recently joined developer. However, I have 5 app builds, and 3 are in live in the App Store. I recently updated from iPhone 13 mini to iPhone 16e. I am logged into iCloud with my personal Apple ID, but in media & purchases, I am logged in with my Apple dev ID (email has my company domain). For some reason, only my oldest app build is visible in testflight on my iPhone. Logging in on MacBook, I see all 5 apps and current builds. Under testflight tab there, the correct group with my email (same as developer account ID) is listed as invited. Yet, none are visible in my iPhone testflight. Clicking on the invite email gives "Couldn't Load App This invitation cannot be accepted because your Apple Account, (redacted) has already been associated to this app." Does anyone, please, have any advice???

A bit of a novice to app development here but I have a paid developer account, I have registered the identifier for MusicKit on the developer website (using the bundle identifier I've selected in Xcode) but the option to add MusicKit as a capability is not available in Xcode? I've manually updated the certificates, closed the app and reopened it, started a new project and tried with a different demo project? Apologies if I am missing something obvious but could someone help me get this capability added?

We are experiencing intermittent 403 Forbidden errors during Apple Pay on web merchant validation in our production and sandbox environment. Has anyone else started seeing 403 Forbidden errors recently (since mid-2025)? Why would merchant validation be sometimes successful and sometimes fail with 403? Could this be related to new Apple Pay gateway changes or stricter validation rules? Any additional debug steps or permanent solutions we should try? Thank you.

Hello, I switched to public version of iOS 26 few days ago, not because Im curios about new design and new look, the only and main reason was just to see if you fixed the most annoying problem that iPhone ever had, and yet you still did not fix it, which is sad, actually very sad! Since iOS 18 was released and iPhon 16 versions were released iOS on these phone was working worse then android phone that costs 200€ And its all caused because you tried to make some kind of intelligent refresh rate which makes no sense at all. You have 120hz panel and its not used in iOS at all, only when gaming and screen recording.Very sad. That kind of uselss intelligence is making phone very laggy and jittery in most of scrolling scenarios, 3rd party apps and apple apps as well. Im begging you, can you just let people choose to have it on auto or locked 120hz or locked 60hz, because using your lastest flagship is totally offending compared to how much it costs and how much it laggs. I know its lagg because of hardware problem, because when I switch to locked framerate laggs and jittery scrolling is gone. But I did not buy pro max version to be on 60hz. This problem exists for a long time and noone in apple is talking about it. Please can you fix it or give us a option to keep the screen at locked 120hz!

For a number of complex views in my app, I need to embed scrollable objects (like List, Form or TextEditor) in a ScrollView. To do that, I need to apply a limit to the height of the embedded object. What I would like to do is set that limit to the actual height of the content being displayed in the List, Form, TextEditor, etc. (Note that this height calculation should be dynamic, so that content changes are properly displayed. I attempted the following: @State listHeight: CGFloat = .zero List { ... content here } .onScrollGeometryChange(for: CGFloat.self, of: { geometry in return geometry.contentSize.height }, action: { oldValue, newValue in if oldValue != newValue { listHeight = newValue } }) .frame(height: listHeight) .scrollDisabled(true) This does not work because geometry.contentSize.height is always 0. So it is apparent that .onScrollGeometryChangedoes not interact with the internal scrolling mechanism of List. (Note, however, that.scrollDisabled` does work.) Does anyone have a suggestion on how I might get this to work?

Hey there, i start a live activity with notification , and but sometime it can not update, it happens sometime and make me so confuse; like about 2025-08-19 +8.0 09:20:52 updatetoken : 40ead3fd4dd4a934548c5455c645fc6920edfaa0ddad98abd619dc1d2662389c15d3dc3b420bdec733d9438d25ae61cb55601ae64292b3064a71ffb8d0355633f3f0f2254e6f7438282ce83366d8430c app can not accept push update msg, and APNs has show success when server send update msg to APP; how can i check the APNS to APP? Thanks

I am trying to get MIDI output from the AU Host demo app using the recent MIDI processor example. The processor works correctly in Logic Pro, but I cannot send MIDI from the AUv3 extension in standalone mode using the default host app to another program (e.g., Ableton). The MIDI manager, which is part of the standalone host app, works fine, and I can send MIDI using it directly—Ableton receives it without issues. I have already set the midiOutputNames in the extension, and the midiOutBlock is mapped. However, the MIDI data from the AUv3 extension does not reach Ableton in standalone mode. I suspect the issue is that midiOutBlock might never be called in the plugin, or perhaps an input to the plugin is missing, which prevents it from sending MIDI. I am currently using the default routing. I have modified the MIDI manager such that it works well as described above. Here is a part of my code for SimplePlayEngine.swift and my MIDIManager.swift for reference: @MainActor @Observable public class SimplePlayEngine { private let midiOutBlock: AUMIDIOutputEventBlock = { sampleTime, cable, length, data in return noErr } var scheduleMIDIEventListBlock: AUMIDIEventListBlock? = nil public init() { engine.attach(player) engine.prepare() setupMIDI() } private func setupMIDI() { if !MIDIManager.shared.setupPort(midiProtocol: MIDIProtocolID._2_0, receiveBlock: { [weak self] eventList, _ in if let scheduleMIDIEventListBlock = self?.scheduleMIDIEventListBlock { _ = scheduleMIDIEventListBlock(AUEventSampleTimeImmediate, 0, eventList) } }) { fatalError("Failed to setup Core MIDI") } } func initComponent(type: String, subType: String, manufacturer: String) async -> ViewController? { reset() guard let component = AVAudioUnit.findComponent(type: type, subType: subType, manufacturer: manufacturer) else { fatalError("Failed to find component with type: \(type), subtype: \(subType), manufacturer: \(manufacturer))" ) } do { let audioUnit = try await AVAudioUnit.instantiate( with: component.audioComponentDescription, options: AudioComponentInstantiationOptions.loadOutOfProcess) self.avAudioUnit = audioUnit self.connect(avAudioUnit: audioUnit) return await audioUnit.loadAudioUnitViewController() } catch { return nil } } private func startPlayingInternal() { guard let avAudioUnit = self.avAudioUnit else { return } setSessionActive(true) if avAudioUnit.wantsAudioInput { scheduleEffectLoop() } let hardwareFormat = engine.outputNode.outputFormat(forBus: 0) engine.connect(engine.mainMixerNode, to: engine.outputNode, format: hardwareFormat) do { try engine.start() } catch { isPlaying = false fatalError("Could not start engine. error: \(error).") } if avAudioUnit.wantsAudioInput { player.play() } isPlaying = true } private func resetAudioLoop() { guard let avAudioUnit = self.avAudioUnit else { return } if avAudioUnit.wantsAudioInput { guard let format = file?.processingFormat else { fatalError("No AVAudioFile defined.") } engine.connect(player, to: engine.mainMixerNode, format: format) } } public func connect(avAudioUnit: AVAudioUnit?, completion: @escaping (() -> Void) = {}) { guard let avAudioUnit = self.avAudioUnit else { return } engine.disconnectNodeInput(engine.mainMixerNode) resetAudioLoop() engine.detach(avAudioUnit) func rewiringComplete() { scheduleMIDIEventListBlock = auAudioUnit.scheduleMIDIEventListBlock if isPlaying { player.play() } completion() } let hardwareFormat = engine.outputNode.outputFormat(forBus: 0) engine.connect(engine.mainMixerNode, to: engine.outputNode, format: hardwareFormat) if isPlaying { player.pause() } let auAudioUnit = avAudioUnit.auAudioUnit if !auAudioUnit.midiOutputNames.isEmpty { auAudioUnit.midiOutputEventBlock = midiOutBlock } engine.attach(avAudioUnit) if avAudioUnit.wantsAudioInput { engine.disconnectNodeInput(engine.mainMixerNode) if let format = file?.processingFormat { engine.connect(player, to: avAudioUnit, format: format) engine.connect(avAudioUnit, to: engine.mainMixerNode, format: format) } } else { let stereoFormat = AVAudioFormat(standardFormatWithSampleRate: hardwareFormat.sampleRate, channels: 2) engine.connect(avAudioUnit, to: engine.mainMixerNode, format: stereoFormat) } rewiringComplete() } } and my MIDI Manager @MainActor class MIDIManager: Identifiable, ObservableObject { func setupPort(midiProtocol: MIDIProtocolID, receiveBlock: @escaping @Sendable MIDIReceiveBlock) -> Bool { guard setupClient() else { return false } if MIDIInputPortCreateWithProtocol(client, portName, midiProtocol, &port, receiveBlock) != noErr { return false } for source in self.sources { if MIDIPortConnectSource(port, source, nil) != noErr { print("Failed to connect to source \(source)") return false } } setupVirtualMIDIOutput() return true } private func setupVirtualMIDIOutput() { let virtualStatus = MIDISourceCreate(client, virtualSourceName, &virtualSource) if virtualStatus != noErr { print("❌ Failed to create virtual MIDI source: \(virtualStatus)") } else { print("✅ Created virtual MIDI source: \(virtualSourceName)") } } func sendMIDIData(_ data: [UInt8]) { print("hey") var packetList = MIDIPacketList() withUnsafeMutablePointer(to: &packetList) { ptr in let pkt = MIDIPacketListInit(ptr) _ = MIDIPacketListAdd(ptr, 1024, pkt, 0, data.count, data) if virtualSource != 0 { let status = MIDIReceived(virtualSource, ptr) if status != noErr { print("❌ Failed to send MIDI data: \(status)") } else { print("✅ Sent MIDI data: \(data)") } } } } }

The NSTextViewportLayoutControllerDelegate.textViewportLayoutControllerDidLayout(_:) documentation states that Layout information on textViewportLayoutController is up-to-date at the point of this call. however it is easy to put the NSTextViewportLayoutController in a state where after calling textViewportLayoutControllerDidLayout, the value of viewportRange is nil (unexpected) and value of the property viewportBounds is .zero The TextKit2 sample application found at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/using-textkit-2-to-interact-with-text makes that assumption as well, and in few places force unwrap the value of viewportRange, that leads to runtime crashes. This behavior is also discussed in Developer Forum thread about TextKit2 viewport relocation: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/761364?answerId=800516022#800516022 How to reproduce: Run Mac target of LayoutWithTextKit2 sample project found at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/using-textkit-2-to-interact-with-text locate menu.rtf file and duplicate its content several times - the goal is to increase the length of the layout text quickly resize application window - that results in viewport layouts - that result in out-of-bound viewport - that results ina crash OR quickly scroll down/up to the end of the document using scroller bar on the right side of the window Reproducible 100% The situation occurs when the document is not fully laid out, the estimated size (height) of the content exceeds the final (correct) height, and the layoutViewport() function is executed quickly. Resulting in partial viewport layout, and once the viewport moves outside of the document's total height, the viewportLayoutController starts to report viewportRange = nil. FB19698121 Why does it happen? Is it expected? How to recover from that state? And most importantly, how to make the NSTextLayoutManager display the portion of the document that is currently scrolled to. and how to do it without for ce layout the full document on each viewportLayout()

I'm working on an app for iOS that will help people get tasks done. Within the app, we use a ManagedSettingsStore to let the user setup distracting apps. When the user opens any of those apps while it is being shielded, our ShieldConfiguration target opens and displays a screen that we configure with the description of the task they are supposed to do. On the bottom of the view, there are two buttons, one to start the task, and another to dismiss and return to their home screen. I want to have the button that starts the task open up the main application and deeplink to the focus view with the task that they started. Currently, the only thing that we can tell the system to do is via a ShieldActionResponse which is an enum with 3 cases: none, close, or defer. None of these three allow us to open the main application. I have found no workarounds that allow us to do it either. I've tried creating a custom URL scheme and calling UIApplication.shared.open(url), but there is no shared application available within the action extension. I have tried using a NSExtensionContext to open a url, but that does not work either. I have even tried starting a live activity to show the user what task they are working on and have a live timer, but that does not work either. I know it is technically possible, because an app I downloaded does it perfectly. The app is called "Ascent: Screen Time Control". Is there some sort of extension I am missing, or entitlement I have not requested? Any help would be very appreciated.

We are experiencing a critical issue where VPP app installations are consistently taking an excessive amount of time, leading to significant delays in asset association. We are deployionThis is a systemic problem that affects all VPP apps, not just an isolated case. Apps: 39470db7-e475-4269-9709-c80641657027 => com.zimride.instant d0876900-2579-463e-99f1-b7c85ef5c5e8 com.microsoft.azureauthenticator Troubleshooting: We have performed extensive troubleshooting and can confirm the following: VPP Token: The VPP token has been successfully renewed and is currently active and valid. License Availability: We've verified that there are sufficient VPP licenses available for the apps being deployed. Device Status: We've attempted the following on the affected devices: Restarted the devices. Switched to different Wi-Fi networks. Uninstalled and re-installed the apps. App Status: The issue is not limited to a single app; all VPP apps are failing to install. License Revocation: We attempted to revoke and reassign licenses for some devices, but this did not resolve the issue. The app was not pushed, and the pending status remained. Troubleshooting: Through our internal investigation, we have determined that the core issue is that the Asset Association Status is consistently taking excessive time. This seems to be preventing the app installation queue from processing. We have observed a significant delay in the processing of events within the Notification Channel. The time between the event being created and a response being received is excessively long, indicating a potential backlog or issue. We have included a few recent examples below for your reference: Event ID: 39470db7-e475-4269-9709-c80641657027 com.zimride.instant Created Time: 2025-08-26 01:02:04 Response Time: 2025-08-26 01:34:05 Event ID: d0876900-2579-463e-99f1-b7c85ef5c5e8 com.microsoft.azureauthenticator Created Time: 2025-08-25 21:16:29 Response Time: 2025-08-25 22:21:07 We would appreciate your help in the following areas: Resolution: Could you provide any known solutions or workarounds for an asset association status that is taking excessive amount of time'? Best Practices: Are there any recommended best practices or additional parameters we should be checking with the MDM that might influence the queueing of VPP app assignments?

I've noticed that in iOS 26, Navigation Bar Items' Image Insets parameters as set in Xcode are not being read correctly. Specifically, it appears that on iOS 26 beta, negative inset numbers are being read as positive. Feedback report FB19838333 includes a sample project demonstrating this bug.

I have an app using TabView with multiple Tabs using tabViewStyle „sidebarAdaptable“. Each Tab does have its own NavigationStack. When I switch multiple times between the tabs and append a child view to one of my navigation stacks, it will stop working after a few tries with the following error „A NavigationLink is presenting a value of type “HomeStack” but there is no matching navigationDestination declaration visible from the location of the link. The link cannot be activated. Note: Links search for destinations in any surrounding NavigationStack, then within the same column of a NavigationSplitView.“ The same code is working fine on iOS, iPadOS but not working on macOS. When I remove tabViewStyle of sidebarAdaptable it’s also working on macOS. I shrinked it down to a minimal reproducible code sample. Any idea if that is a bug or I'm doing something wrong? struct ContentView: View { @State private var appState: AppState = .init() var body: some View { TabView(selection: $appState.rootTab) { Tab("Home", systemImage: "house", value: RootTab.home) { NavigationStack(path: $appState.homeStack) { Text("Home Stack") NavigationLink("Item 1", value: HomeStack.item1) .padding() NavigationLink("Item 2", value: HomeStack.item2) .padding() .navigationDestination(for: HomeStack.self) { stack in Text("Stack \(stack.rawValue)") } .navigationTitle("HomeStack") } } Tab("Tab1", systemImage: "gear", value: RootTab.tab1) { NavigationStack(path: $appState.tab1Stack) { Text("Tab 1 Stack") NavigationLink("Item 1", value: Tab1Stack.item1) .padding() NavigationLink("Item 2", value: Tab1Stack.item2) .padding() .navigationDestination(for: Tab1Stack.self) { stack in Text("Stack \(stack.rawValue)") } .navigationTitle("Tab1Stack") } } } .tabViewStyle(.sidebarAdaptable) .onChange(of: appState.rootTab) { _, _ in appState.homeStack.removeAll() appState.tab1Stack.removeAll() } } } @MainActor @Observable class AppState { var rootTab: RootTab = .home var homeStack: [HomeStack] = [] var tab1Stack: [Tab1Stack] = [] } enum RootTab: Hashable { case home case tab1 case tab2 } enum HomeStack: String, Hashable { case home case item1 case item2 } enum Tab1Stack: String, Hashable { case home case item1 case item2 }
