Overview

We are trying to implement a custom encryption scheme for our Core ML models. Our goal is to bundle encrypted models, decrypt them into memory at runtime, and instantiate the MLModel without the unencrypted model file ever touching the disk. We have looked into the native apple encryption described here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coreml/encrypting-a-model-in-your-app but it has limitations like not working on intel macs, without SIP, and doesn’t work loading from dylib. It seems like most of the Core ML APIs require a file path, there is MLModelAsset APIs but I think they just write a modelc back to disk when compiling but can’t find any information confirming that (also concerned that this seems to be an older API, and means we need to compile at runtime). I am aware that the native encryption will be much more secure but would like not to have the models in readable text on disk. Does anyone know if this is possible or any alternatives to try to obfuscate the Core ML models, thanks

It is the beginning of February and we have not yet received our 1099 from Apple. Has anyone received theirs? Can I download it somewhere or does it only come via snail mail? Thank you

I am editing my iOS project in Xcode 16 and want to use the "Swift Compiler - Upcoming Features" section of the build settings to selectively enable the new Swift 6 language features. I have read the instructions for doing this and have dowloaded an Apple sample project and can see that section under the project and target-level Build Settings in the sample project However, when I open my Xcode project in XCode 16 that section does not appear. Is there any way for me to influence how Xcode 16 displays the build settings? In fact, no "Swift Compiler" sections appear at all under my project Build Settings (All | Combined). There is a "User-Defined" section that has the Swift Version, Compilation Mode and Optimization level. The project itself is several years old and was on a very old project version. I have upgraded my project document format to "Xcode 16" but it made no difference. I have compared my project and the sample project in a text editor and both seem to have similar structure. I tried removing unused and outdated settings from my project but that also had no effect. Is there an alternative to deleting my project file and adding the source files to it? I have a large project with multiple targets so that would be something I'd rather not do.

How can I remove the "On My iPhone" option from the Calendar app? Like in the other picture, it doesn't show "On My iPhone" or "iCloud".

I am trying to make an app icon 20 x 20 pixel dimension. I cannot get the icon to be sized this way. It gets blurry. I have used adobe express + illustrator. I have not been able to size it. It is a 400 x 400 dimension png. I want the proportion to be 20 x 20 without losing the clarity.

When using the [AVAudioSession setCategory:withOptions:error:] API, the call hangs for a long time and eventually returns an error.This issue occurs on iOS 16, and did not appear in earlier versions.

When using the Password AutoFill feature, after entering a password and navigating to another page, a system prompt appears asking whether to save the password to the keychain (as shown in the figure). If this prompt is not dismissed and the app is moved to the background, then brought back to the foreground, the prompt automatically disappears. However, after this occurs, all input fields within the app become unresponsive to keyboard input—no keyboard will appear when tapping any text field. The only way to restore keyboard functionality is to force-quit the app and relaunch it. How can this issue be resolved?

Expected Behavior: Display the digit “6”. Actual Behavior: The rendered character appears as a composite glyph—the left half resembles “9” and the right half resembles “6”, resulting in a malformed digit. other examples： Environment & Characteristics: Occurs intermittently on iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro Max. Reproducible within the Taobao App, specifically in WKWebView. Font Used: AlibabaSans102_v1_TaoBao-Bd.ttf

Hello, We are using a Message Filter Extension (ILMessageFilterExtension) to classify SMS/iMessage content (junk vs allow) in our app. After testing on iOS 26.1, we want to confirm whether there are any behavioral, performance, or API-level changes that impact message filtering, such as: Changes in how often the filter extension is invoked Differences in classification accuracy or system overrides New privacy, entitlement, or permission-related restrictions Execution time limits or memory constraints Any changes specific to iMessage vs SMS filtering We did not find any explicit mention of Message Filter Extensions in the iOS 26.1 release notes and would like to confirm whether the existing behavior from previous iOS versions remains unchanged. Has Apple introduced any known or undocumented changes in iOS 26.1 that developers should be aware of when supporting Message Filter Extensions? Sometime I also found unpredictable behaviour on iOS version 18.5 or below, like sometime it works but sometimes starts working. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi, our Xcode Cloud runs produce dsyms for test targets that massively increase the artifacts size, more specifically the "Test Products for" zip, that slows down the build due to the "upload artifacts" phase. These dsyms are useless, so we would like to stop producing them on Xcode Cloud builds. Consider that the workflow uses the autogenerated scheme for a package that's part of the Xcode project. How can we tell Xcode Cloud to not produce dsyms?

Hi All! I'm being asked to migrate an app which utilizes iCloud KVS (Key Value Storage). This ability is a new-ish feature, and the documentation about this is sparse [1]. Honestly, the entire documentation about the new iCloud transfer functionality seems to be missing. Same with Game Center / GameKit. While the docs say that it should work, I'd like to understand the process in more detail. Has anyone migrated an iCloud KVS app? What happens after the transfer goes through, but before the first release? Do I need to do anything special? I see that the Entitlements file has the TeamID in the Key Value store - is that fine? <key>com.apple.developer.ubiquity-kvstore-identifier</key> <string>$(TeamIdentifierPrefix)$(CFBundleIdentifier)</string> Can someone please share their experience? Thank you! [1] https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/transfer-an-app/overview-of-app-transfer

I'm currently using Swift to write an independent Apple Watch app for watchOS 7+. My app uses Location Services, and in case the user doesn't allow that at first, I'd like to have a button inside my watchOS app to send my user to the part of the Settings app (inside watchOS) where he can give the appropriate permissions for the app. I know that in iOS/macOS you can use the openSettingsURLString string from UIApplication to do what I want, but it's not available in watchOS and I haven't found any equivalent resource inside the WKExtension class (normally the equivalent for UIApplication in the watchOS environment). Does anyone know if there's any way to programatically open the Apple Watch Settings app from my watchOS app? I'm asking since as far as I understand asking for Location permissions again would not work since the user has already refused to allow the permissions before, making the authorization status "denied". I understand as well that there's the possibility of showing a modal and directing the user to go to Settings and allow the use of location services (as in "Please go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services > [AppName] to allow the use of location services") but I'd like if I could direct the user there instead as one might do in iOS. The code below is what I'm trying to do - but (of course) it crashes since I'm not actually passing any system URL. .alert(isPresented: $alertVisible) { Alert (title: Text("Please allow our app to use location services in order to get Weather Data"), message: Text("Go to Settings?"), primaryButton: .default(Text("Settings"), action: { WKExtension.shared().openSystemURL(URL(string: "")!) //UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: UIApplication.openSettingsURLString)!) }),

Hi, we are sending MacOS apps packaged in a ZIP archive or DMG disk image to the Notary Service. Before we send the app for notarization, we check the code signature via command codesign -vvv --deep --strict /path/to/app_or_bundle The result is positive and it does not provide any gaps. (And yes, we are following the inside out code signing approach, mentioned at Using the codesign Tool's --deep Option Correctly) Unfortunately, the result of the Notary service provided that one file has no signature, which was not detected by the signature verification command. The path of the binary was in <app_name>.app.zip/<app_name>.app/Contents/Resources/inst/<binary> How I can be verify like a the Notary service does it on our side? Best regards, Stefan

Have you ever encountered the issue where the Wi-Fi MAC address information can no longer be retrieved after I updated to iOS 26?

I've written an PDF viewing app, and there seems to be a correlation between files opened by the app and files that Time Machine says couldn't be backed up. The files can still "not be backed up", even after the app has closed them. Is there anything I specifically need to do to sever the link between the file and the app?

I have a framework, which depends on a library (GPGME) to do its actual encryption. As a consequence of using this external library, there are header files which have GPGME types in them... @interface E3Gpgme : NSObject ... /*****************************************************************************\ |* Call GPGME to sign \*****************************************************************************/ - (int) signWithMode:(gpgme_sig_mode_t)mode userId:(NSString *)signingKeyOrEmail srcStream:(E3Stream *)src dstStream:(E3Stream *)dst error:(NSError **)error; ... @end . This means the E3Gpgme class header file has to #import <gpgme.h> to get those type definitions. That is then proving problematic because the framework modularisation fails, with <e3gpgme.h> obviously not being a part of the framework, so the project refuses to build. I can see a few ways around this: Just don't run the modularisation check. That doesn't sound like a fantastic option import the GPGME headers (there's only 2) into the project and bundle them as if they were project ones. Again, not a great option, I don't expect GPGME to change its API but it runs the risk of there being a mismatch in future if the library code itself remains external. So what's the best-practice for requiring a dependency on a library, not a framework ? Is there a way to copy the library binary into a folder inside the framework folder and make sure you link with that ? Assuming that's the shared library it ought to still be ok for the LGPL licensing... Is there a better way ? I'm sure I'm not the first person to run into this :)

I've spent a few months writing an app that uses SwiftData with inheritance. Everything worked well until I tried adding CloudKit support. To do so, I had to make all relationships optional, which exposed what appears to be a bug. Note that this isn't a CloudKit issue -- it happens even when CloudKit is disabled -- but it's due to the requirement for optional relationships. In the code below, I get the following error on the second call to modelContext.save() when the button is clicked: Could not cast value of type 'SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier' (0x1ef510b68) to 'SimplePersistenceIdentifierTest.Computer' (0x1025884e0). I was surprised to find zero hit when Googling "Could not cast value of type 'SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier'". Some things to note: Calling teacher.computers?.append(computer) instead of computer.teacher = teacher results in the same error. It only happens when Teacher inherits Person. It only happens if modelContext.save() is called both times. It works if the first modelContext.save() is commented out. If the second modelContext.save()is commented out, the error occurs the second time the model context is saved (whether explicitly or implicitly). Keep in mind this is a super simple repro written to generate on demand the error I'm seeing in a normal app. In my app, modelContext.save() must be called in some places to update the UI immediately, sometimes resulting in the error seconds later when the model context is saved automatically. Not calling modelContext.save() doesn't appear to be an option. To be sure, I'm new to this ecosystem so I'd be thrilled if I've missed something obvious! Any thoughts are appreciated. import Foundation import SwiftData import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) var modelContext var body: some View { VStack { Button("Do it") { let teacher = Teacher() let computer = Computer() modelContext.insert(teacher) modelContext.insert(computer) try! modelContext.save() computer.teacher = teacher try! modelContext.save() } } } } @Model class Computer { @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify) var teacher: Teacher? init() {} } @Model class Person { init() {} } @available(iOS 26.0, macOS 26.0, *) @Model class Teacher: Person { @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify, inverse: \Computer.teacher) public var computers: [Computer]? = [] override init() { super.init() } }

Hello everyone, I’m posting here to see if anyone has experienced a similar issue or can advise on next steps. I applied to the developer program under sole proprieter and received this notice: "We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred." I submitted two support requests to Apple Developer Support over a week ago and received the automated confirmation, but I haven’t received any follow-up or response yet. I tried calling various numbers at Apple, but am unable to get in contact with the department whatsoever. Case ID: 20000105546663 At this point, I’m just looking for a status update or guidance on what to do next. If anyone has suggestions on how to get a response from Apple Developer Support, or get in contact with them in any way, let me know.. Thanks in advance for any help.

Opened feedback item FB21877364. Context I have the following Metal shader, which replaces one color with another. [[ stitchable ]] half4 recolor( float2 position, half4 currentColor, half4 from, half4 to ) { if (all(currentColor == from)) return to; return currentColor; } Given this SwiftUI view: let shader = ShaderLibrary.recolor(.color(.red), .color(.green)) Color.red .colorEffect(shader) I get a red rectangle instead of the expected green one. Note that this works on both dynamic and non-dynamic colors. Note that this sometimes works with some colors, which is very inconvenient when trying to figure out what's going on. Did I miss something? I would've expected the shader to work with colors the same way. Issue To really highlight the issue, here's another test case. I'll define #94877E in an Asset Catalog as example and check the RGB values using the Digital Color Meter app in "Display native values" mode. We'll use the following shader to determine how colorEffect receives colors: [[ stitchable ]] half4 test( float2 position, half4 currentColor, half4 color ) { return color; } The following view yields "R: 0.572, G: 0.531, B: 0.498". Color.example While this one yields "R: 0.572, G: 0.531, B: 0.499". let shader = ShaderLibrary.test(.color(Color.example)) Color.white.colorEffect(shader) I would expect them to match.
