Overview

There are multiple report of crashes on URLConnectionLoader::loadWithWhatToDo. The crashed thread in the stack traces pointing to calls inside CFNetwork which seems to be internal library in iOS. The crash has happened quite a while already (but we cannot detect when the crash started to occur) and impacted multiple iOS versions recorded from iOS 15.4 to 18.4.1 that was recorded in Xcode crash report organizer so far. Unfortunately, we have no idea on how to reproduce it yet but the crash keeps on increasing and affect more on iOS 18 users (which makes sense because many people updated their iOS to the newer version) and we haven’t found any clue on what actually happened and how to fix it on the crash reports. What we understand is it seems to come from a network request that happened to trigger the crash but we need more information on what (condition) actually cause it and how to solve it. Hereby, I attach sample crash report for both iOS 15 and 18. I also have submitted a report (that include more crash reports) with number: FB17775979. Will appreciate any insight regarding this issue and any resolution that we can do to avoid it. iOS 15.crash iOS 18.crash

My app is built in flutter and has a native Widget in it. The widget's Info.plist file has the NSExtensionPrincipalClass key that links to the VerseOfTheDayWidgetBundle as string. However the Transport app throws an error: Validation failed (409) Unexpected Info.plist key. Unexpected key NSExtensionPrincipalClass found in extension Info.plist for Payload/Runner.app/PlugIns/VerseOfTheDayWidgetExtension.appex. (ID: 266e2dd8-44b9-4d67-97d9-d7d47013cff9) Now I tried removing the NSExtensionPrincipalClass and but the simulator throws an error asking for the NSExtensionPrincipalClass or Storyboard class but my widget is completely written in SwiftUI and does not have a storyboard which is why I am using the NSExtensionPrincipalClass. I tried to bypass this by creating two info.plist files for my widget (debug and release) this bypassed the security check on Transporter but then the app wouldn't install in TestFlight confirming the same issue as the simulator. I can confirm that my app's info.plist does not have any mention of NSExtensionPrincipalClass. so that isn't what is causing this error. I tried a lot of things but it just wouldn't work, at this point I feel maybe its something wrong with the checks Transporter app. I'm not sure, please guide me. The widget and the app work completely fine on the simulator with the NSExtensionPrincipalClass, its just the Transporter that does not like it being there.

In previous versions of the simulator, it was possible to import files into the Files app by dragging them from the Finder into the Simulator. It appears that in the iOS 26 Simulator, this opens the file in Safari. I've only tried it with .json files so far. The documentation at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/sharing-data-with-simulator says that the original behaviour should happen: To add files to Simulator, select one or more files in Finder on your Mac, then click the Share button. Select Simulator from the share destination list. Choose the simulated device from the drop-down list. Simulator opens the Files app, and lets you select where to save the files. I'd love to learn if this is intentional behaviour, and if so, what workarounds there might be. I use this pattern quite a lot, as I have a HealthKit app, and I've built a system that allows me to export workouts as JSON files from a real device, that I can then import into a simulator for testing. Edit: I found a workaround. Make a folder in Files.app, then search for it within ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices. Open the folder in Finder, then add any files you want to be available in the Simulator.

Greetings! I was trying to get a response from the LanguageModelSession but I just keep getting the following: Error getting response: Model Catalog error: Error Domain=com.apple.UnifiedAssetFramework Code=5000 "There are no underlying assets (neither atomic instance nor asset roots) for consistency token for asset set com.apple.MobileAsset.UAF.FM.Overrides" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=There are no underlying assets (neither atomic instance nor asset roots) for consistency token for asset set com.apple.MobileAsset.UAF.FM.Overrides} This occurs both in macOS 15.5 running the new Xcode beta with an iOS 26 simulator, and also on a macOS 26 with Xcode beta. The simulators are both Pro iPhone 16s. I was wondering if anyone had any advice?

I'm pleased to share some significant updates that have recently been released for our Hypervisor and Virtualization frameworks. We've focused on enhancing efficiency, expanding capabilities, and addressing common developer needs. I believe these will be valuable for many of you. Here’s a look at what’s new: Hypervisor Updates We've introduced support for configuring the intermediate physical address (IPA) memory granularity of a VM. This allows for more granular memory mappings, enabling granularity sizes down to 4KB. This is particularly useful for certain specialized device drivers requiring finer memory control. Virtualization Framework Updates More Efficient VM Image Storage with ASIF: We've integrated support for the Apple Sparse Image Format (ASIF). This results in a smaller disk footprint and optimized transfer for VM disk images when using VZDiskImageStorageDeviceAttachment, improving storage efficiency. Custom Network Topologies with vmnet: We've added support for vmnet custom network topologies. This enables more flexible VM-to-VM communication based on logical networks with customized configurations, useful for complex testing or development environments. See VZVmnetNetworkDeviceAttachment to get started. Simplified VM Queue Discovery: It's now easier to discover a VM’s on-process thanks to a new property on VZVirtualMachine. This should aid in development and debugging when interacting directly with the VM's queue. These are some of the key highlights of the first beta, and I'm looking forward to seeing how these improvements will be utilized. I encourage you to explore the documentation for full details on these features.

Applying glass effect, providing a shape isn't resulting in the provided shape rendering the interaction correctly. .glassEffect(.regular.tint(Color(event.calendar.cgColor)).interactive(), in: .rect(cornerRadius: 20)) results in properly drawn view but interactive part of it is off. light and shimmer appear as a capsule within the rect.

Has anyone been able to use Google Gemini with Intelligence in Xcode? I got the Claude models working in there but as much as I try I can't see any Gemini models.

My team has a robust digital accessibility program and processes for WCAG conformance in our apps. Because of this, there are definitely accessibility defects that get caught and addressed in order of impact and business priority like any other bug. Obviously we want to aim for 100% accessibility for our users, but it's a continual work in progress as new enhancements or changes are released. I'm stuck on the appropriate measurement to indicate support. If we have 50 common tasks and the most central 10 tasks are solid but some supporting (but also common) tasks have a contrast fail or accessibleLabel missing, does that make the whole app not supporting the feature? If "completing the task" is the rubric there are a whole range of interpretations for that. In a complex app, I anticipate that a group like ours will have strong support for many of the Accessibility Nutrition Labels accessibility features across tasks and devices, but realistically never be 100% free of defects for a given Apple Accessibility feature, even among core tasks. As I consider the next steps for Nutrition Labels, I do not see anything in the documentation that gives a sort of baseline or measurement for inclusion. We plan to test all steps to complete a task, and log defects accordingly with an assigned timeline for fixing them (as would be true for functional defects).

Hello, I am working to integrate the new com.apple.developer.networking.carrier-constrained.app-optimized entitlement in my iOS 26 app so that my app can use a carrier-provided satellite network, and want to confirm my understanding of how to detect and optimize for satellite network conditions. (Ref: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com.apple.developer.networking.carrier-constrained.app-optimized ) My current approach: I plan to set the entitlement to true once my app is optimized for satellite networks. To detect if the device is connected to a satellite network, I intend to use the Network framework’s NWPath properties: isUltraConstrained — I understand this should be set to true when the device is connected to a satellite network. (Ref: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/network/nwpath/isultraconstrained ) linkQuality == .minimal — I believe this will also be set in satellite scenarios, though it may not be exclusive to satellite connections. (Ref: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/network/nwpath/linkquality-swift.enum/minimal ) Questions: Is it correct that isUltraConstrained will reliably indicate a satellite connection? Should I also check for linkQuality == .minimal, or is isUltraConstrained sufficient? Are there any additional APIs or best practices for detecting and optimizing for satellite connectivity that I should be aware of? Thank you for confirming whether my understanding and approach are correct, and for any additional guidance.

"Use location, address and addressRepresentations instead" Is it possible to know what kind of "Address" a MapItem is representing (State, County, Neighborhood etc) after a MKGeocodingRequest? Is it possible to find out the CLRegion or similar of an map item. (Now when we cannot read it from the Placemark)

I haven’t been able to get this to work at any level! I’m running into multiple issues, any light shed on any of these would be nice: I can’t implement a bloom filter that produces the same output as can be found in the SimpleURLFilter sample project, after following the textual description of it that’s available in the documentation. No clue what my implementation is doing wrong, and because of the nature of hashing, there is no way to know. Specifically: The web is full of implementations of FNV-1a and MurmurHash3, and they all produce different hashes for the same input. Can we get the proper hashes for some sample strings, so we know which is the “correct” one? Similarly, different implementations use different encodings for the strings to hash. Which should we use here? The formulas for numberOfBits and numberOfHashes give Doubles and assign them to Ints. It seems we should do this conversing by rounding them, is this correct? Can we get a sample correct value for the combined hash, so we can verify our implementations against it? Or ignoring all of the above, can we have the actual code instead of a textual description of it? 😓 I managed to get Settings to register my first attempt at this extension in beta 1. Now, in beta 2, any other project (including the sample code) will redirect to Settings, show the Allow/Deny message box, I tap Allow, and then nothing happens. This must be a bug, right? Whenever I try to enable the only extension that Settings accepted (by setting its isEnabled to true), its status goes to .stopped and the error is, of course, .unknown. How do I debug this? While the extension is .stopped, ALL URL LOADS are blocked on the device. Is this to be expected? (shouldFailClosed is set to false) Is there any way to manually reload the bloom filter? My app ships blocklist updates with background push, so it would be wasteful to fetch the filter at a fixed interval. If so, can we opt out of the periodic fetch altogether? I initially believed the API to be near useless because I didn’t know of its “fuzzy matching” capabilities, which I’ve discovered by accident in a forum post. It’d be nice if those were documented somewhere! Thanks!!

I have sent in a feedback report (FB18222398) but I have no idea if anyone has looked at it. I know from past experiences that Apple devs do look at these forums. This applies to each of the betas, 1, 2 and 3. I have created a new Personal Voice with each beta. I create a personal voice in English. When it's done processing, I tap Preview and it says in English what is expected. But after some time, an hour or a day, the language of the voice file changes languages and no longer works properly. If I press Preview it is no longer intelligible. I have a text to speech app and initially the created voice works but then when the language of the file changes, it no longer works. I have run an app on my iphone through Xcode that prints to the console the voices installed on the device with the language. Currently this is the voice file: Voice Identifier: com.apple.speech.personalvoice.AAA9C6F2-9125-475F-BA2F-22C63274991D Language: es-MX and on a second device the same personal voice is in a different language: Voice Identifier: com.apple.speech.personalvoice.AAA9C6F2-9125-475F-BA2F-22C63274991D Language: zh-CN Although, a previous personal voice file that listed as Spanish-Mexican played in English with a Spanish accent or when playing Spanish text, it sounded almost perfect. This current personal voice doesn't do that, and is unintelligible. Previous attempts have converted to Chinese. I hope someone can look into this.

We have a Java application built for macOS. On the first launch, the application prompts the user to allow local network access. We've correctly added the NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription key to the Info.plist, and the provided description appears in the system prompt. After the user grants permission, the application can successfully connect to a local server using its hostname. However, the issue arises after the system is rebooted. When the application is launched again, macOS does not prompt for local network access a second time—which is expected, as the permission was already granted. Despite this, the application is unable to connect to the local server. It appears the previously granted permission is being ignored after a reboot. A temporary workaround is to manually toggle the Local Network permission off and back on via System Settings > Privacy & Security, which restores connectivity—until the next reboot. This behavior is highly disruptive, both for us and for a significant number of our users. We can reproduce this on multiple systems... The issues started from macOS Sequoia 15.0 By opening the application bundle using "Show Package Contents," we can launch the application via "JavaAppLauncher" without any issues. Once started, the application is able to connect to our server over the local network. This seems to bypass the granted permissions? "JavaAppLauncher" is also been used in our Info.plist file

Hi everyone, I’m posting this to ask for advice and see if anyone has experienced a similar issue with the Apple Developer Program subscription. On July 9th, 2025, I registered for the Apple Developer Program via the Apple Developer app on my iPhone using my main iCloud account (Apple ID). The expected annual fee was 2,299,000 VND (~$99). However, I just checked my billing history and saw that I was charged twice for the same subscription, both under the same Apple ID / iCloud account, on the same day. Key Details: I only enrolled once. Both charges are labeled “Apple Developer Program”, exactly the same amount (2,299,000 ₫). The payments were made through the App Store, not via the website. My account on developer.apple.com/account still shows “Enroll Now” — meaning I haven't been activated yet. I have not received any welcome email either. My questions: Is it possible to request a refund for one of the charges, since both payments came from the same iCloud account and clearly refer to the same subscription? Has anyone else encountered this issue? How long did it take Apple to respond? Was your refund request approved? Should I wait for Apple to activate my account, or should I escalate the issue now? I’ve already submitted a refund request through https://reportaproblem.apple.com, but I’m posting here in case someone has more experience or insights. Thanks in advance!

Background: We are developing a cross-platform mobile application that communicates with a custom NFC-enabled hardware device. The hardware expects ISO7816-style APDU commands for data exchange and functions correctly with Android using the IsoDep protocol. Observed Issue on iOS: On iOS, the tag is only detectable via NFCNdefReaderSession, which provides access to INFCNdefTag. Attempting to use NFCTagReaderSession with NFCPollingOption.Iso14443 (which is required for APDU communication) results in no tag detection. As a result, the tag is inaccessible for APDU-based communication on iOS. Since NFCNdefReaderSession does not support APDU, we are unable to establish the required command channel. Constraints: The hardware firmware cannot be changed to support NDEF-based command interpretation. The device expects raw ISO-DEP APDU commands (i.e., Class-Instruction-Param1-Param2-Data-Le). Impact: The lack of ISO7816 tag detection on iOS prevents the app from sending APDU commands, resulting in a platform-specific feature limitation. Functionality that relies on secure, structured APDU communication is unavailable to iOS users, even though it works seamlessly on Android.

I work on a universal app that targets both iPhone and iPad. Our iPad app currently requires full screen. When testing on the latest iPadOS 26 beta, we see the following warning printed to the console: Update the Info.plist: 1) `UIRequiresFullScreen` will soon be ignored. 2) Support for all orientations will soon be required. It will take a fair amount of effort to update our app to properly support presentation in a resizable window. We wanted to gauge how urgent this change is. Our testing has shown that iPadOS 26 supports our app in a non-resizable window. Can someone from Apple provide any guidance as to how soon “soon” is? Will UIRequiresFullScreen be ignored in iPadOS 26? Will support for all orientations be required in iPadOS 26?

revenuecat is asking for the in app subscriptions to be approved first in order for the pay wall to display and function properly, but apple support keeps flagging them as "developer action needed" and complaining that they can't access in app subscriptions. what do I do?

I am using the MatterSupport extension to commission devices for my own ecosystem. I use the extension to do the initial connection to the device (BLE, PASE, bring device onto wifi/thread) and then use the method commissionDevice(in home: MatterAddDeviceRequest.Home?, onboardingPayload: String, commissioningID: UUID) in MatterAddDeviceExtensionRequestHandler to send a request to my own hub on the local network where it then connects to the device via wifi/thread and fully commissions the device. This flow is working correctly for wifi enabled devices, however it fails for thread devices. For some context, I am using my own border router (and have already added the router's credentials to the phone using THClient's storeCredentials). Here are some device-specific results: ESP32 (WIFI): successful commission ESP32 (THREAD): failure Matter Certified ONVIS smart plug (THREAD): failure The ESP32's are running espressif matter examples. Example border router is a running OTBR docker container I believe that the entire PASE session is established and the device gets onto the thread network, but the process seems to stall after that. I have verified that selectThreadNetwork(...) and validateDeviceCredential(...) get called but the commissioning process seems to stall before it can get to commissionDevice(...) I am limited to 7k characters, but I'll try to include as many relevant log lines as I can near the error if anyone has any ideas. I've already created a bug report with ID: FB18985348 which includes the full logs from the esp32 and a sysdiagnose from an iPhone 12 Pro (iOS 18.5) using the following log profiles: Home app/HomeKit HomeThread ThreadNetwork When commissioning directly from my hub, the entire commissioning completes successfully 100% of the time.

On iOS 26 beta 3, my app and some other apps got greyed out app icon. It only happens in Default (Light) appearance. Apple automatically converts third-party app icons to support Liquid Glass, but is there any specific requirement with third-party icons to avoid above greyed out app icon issue?

iOS 26 Beta 3 finally introduced an API for the clear variant of Liquid Glass. But is there any way to switch system controls like the NavigationController back button or UIBarButtonItems to clear? They do not accept an effect like UIEffectView, and they do not have a configuration property like UIButton.
