To stop recording need use phone.
is this intended behaviour?
i would like to be able to stop recording with Siri

I am trying to port my sandboxed macOS app completely over to iOS using a Catalyst target and SwiftUI.
There appears to be an issue when trying to drag to the Finder in Catalyst (and in SwiftUI in General). For some reason, the Finder will not accept multiple file drops, only a single file.
On my macOS (non-Catalyst AppKit target), I overcame this by dropping multiple files to a UTType of .folder, and the OS accepted the folder. This workaround is not available for iOS because .folder is a macOS-only option.
I have a test app to illustrate the issue. Hopefully someone can help.

I am trying to port my sandboxed macOS app completely over to iOS using a Catalyst target. In my macOS app, I use 'SwiftySandboxFileAccess' package to add a symlink to '~/Library/PDF Services' so that the 'share to my app' menuItem shows up in the macOS Print Panel (in the PDF menu). It is critical for the function of my app to have this work on macOS.
In the Catalyst target, I am having problems gaining access to '~/Library'. I have tried having the user select the folder, but the picker always returns 'canceled'. I have a test app that illustrates this.
The test app tries to coax the user into selecting the library folder and then it is supposed to bookmark the location, but I am unable to get this far.
As an aside, macOS should probably automatically add an entry to the Print Panel when the app includes PDF as a document type in XCode; it would save a lot of hassle and avoid having to go outside of the sandbox. However, I cannot wait for that. Hopefully someone can help.
Download Test App from iCloud
(If you have problems downloading the file, it might be because of some iCloud share setting that I am not aware of. Just tell me and I'll figure something out.)

Hello everyone,
I’m looking for advice from developers who may have faced a similar situation, as we appear to be stuck in a long-running loop of Guideline 4.3(a) rejections on iOS with no actionable feedback from App Review.
Over an extended period, our iOS app has been repeatedly rejected under Guideline 4.3(a) (“similar or repackaged”), regardless of the changes we make. The responses from App Review consistently use the same high-level language and do not indicate what specifically is considered problematic.
Some relevant context:
The app is built with Flutter using a single shared codebase.
The macOS version, built from the same codebase with the same overall structure and UI, has been approved without issues.
The iOS version, using that same implementation, continues to receive 4.3(a) rejections.
We do not use purchased templates and do not operate multiple developer accounts.
Like most apps, we use some third-party and open-source components where technically appropriate.
Across multiple submissions, we have tried to address the feedback as best we can by making changes to UI/UX, assets, metadata, internal structure, and overall product quality. However, App Review has not provided clarification even at a high level (for example, whether the concern is primarily related to UI/UX, code structure, metadata, user flows, or overall product framing). Requests for any directional guidance have resulted in the same generic responses, both in review replies and via support.
This leaves us making blind changes without a feedback loop. As a result, it’s difficult to understand whether the issue is realistically correctable, or whether the app is effectively blocked due to similarity clustering or other non-obvious review heuristics.
Any firsthand experiences, practical steps, or lessons learned would be extremely helpful.

Hi all,
I'm encountering an issue with auto-renewable subscription upgrades in the App Store. Here's my setup:
Context:
Plan A: Base Plan (yearly auto-renewable subscription)
Plan B: Pro Plan (monthly auto-renewable subscription)
B is configured as an upgrade from A.
Issue:
When a user with an active Plan A subscription upgrades to Plan B, I correctly receive an App Store Server Notification v2 with DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_PREF and UPGRADE subtype. According to Apple's documentation, a prorated refund is issued automatically in this scenario, and no separate REFUND event is sent, the refund information should be retrievable through the upgrade event itself.
Testing in Sandbox:
In my sandbox tests, Plan A has a 1-hour duration and Plan B has a 5-minute duration. After the user upgrades to Plan B, I immediately cancel the subscription to prevent auto-renewal.
Expected vs. Actual Behavior:
After the 5 minutes expire, Plan A still appears as the active current entitlement. I initially thought this might be because the prorated refund hadn't been processed yet. However, even after waiting the full hour (the original duration of Plan A), it continues to show as an active entitlement—which shouldn't be the case. As a result, when I attempt to restore purchases, Plan A is still identified as valid and the subscription gets reactivated.
Question:
Is this behavior expected in the sandbox environment, or am I missing something in how the prorated refund and entitlement expiration should be handled?

I'm developing a new feature for iOS 26.1 to upload photos in the background, but I'm finding it difficult to trigger background upload tasks efficiently. Are there any methods to quickly force the device to execute background backup tasks?
Additionally, I've already completed backups, but when using the API:
(PHFetchResult<PHAssetResourceUploadJob *> *)fetchJobsWithAction:(PHAssetResourceUploadJobAction)action
options:(nullable PHFetchOptions *)options
NS_SWIFT_NAME(fetchJobs(action:options:));
I frequently get no results—neither successful nor failed jobs—and I'm unable to retrieve pending UploadJobs.
Could the Apple development team improve these functionalities and provide a debugging method to quickly trigger background backup tasks? Thanks.

Am developing an application that creates custom VPN. I have enabled Sandbox properties. VPN will be granted based upon the device posture. Posture includes reading the disk encryption value, secureboot and Firewall values.
Application just tries to fetch the values to provides its posture.
Since the application is sandboxed, it is getting denied to read the above mentioned values.
How to achieve this with Sandboxed enabled?

各位网友大家好,有谁知道这个 tl 9655. com腾龙官方地址还能用吗?如果不能麻烦大家告知一个新的,184 7933 278这个身份是的薇,有的麻烦各位网友们告知一下。
After authenticating the user I'm loading my Game Center leaderboards like this:
let leaderboards = try await GKLeaderboard.loadLeaderboards(IDs: [leaderboardID])
This is working fine, but there are times when this just returns an empty array. When I encounter this situation, the array remains empty for several hours when retrying, but then at some point it suddenly starts working again.
Is this a known issue? Or am I hitting some kind of quota maybe (as I do it quite often while developing my game)?.
Edit: My leaderboards are grouped in sets if that makes any difference here.
The Send to Device in Reality Composer Pro no longer works for me. The progress spinner keeps spinning...

Hi, after upgrading MacOS (MB Air M1 Version 26.2 (25C56)) & Safari (Version 26.2 (21623.1.14.11.9)) to latest versions, we are experiencing a new bug occurring with our web extension (Click & Read) on local storage writing and getting this error :
Invalid call to browser.storage.local.set(). Disk I/O error.
This doesn't happen on other browsers (chromium, Firefox).
export const setLocalStorage = async (value: object) => {
try {
await browser.storage.local.set(value);
} catch (error) {
console.error("[Click & Read] Error setting local storage", error);
}
};
We have developed an iPad application using the ARCL (AR + CoreLocation) library to render Point of Interest (POI) annotations in both an AR view and a standard MapView. The application performs as expected on standard devices.
However, we have some iPad covered with strong magnet. This creates significant magnetic interference, resulting in a 90° to 180° heading offset, rendering the AR POI placement and MapView orientation unusable.
Technical Challenges & Constraints:
Hardware Lock: The magnetic cover is a mandatory business requirement and cannot be removed during field use.
Sensor Failure: The internal magnetometer cannot provide an accurate North reference due to the proximity of the cover’s magnets. While CoreLocation and CoreMotion use sensor fusion, the magnetometer remains the primary source for absolute heading.
Alternative Orientation Tracking: Is there a documented method to bypass the magnetometer and derive device orientation using only the Gyroscope and Accelerometer (e.g., relative tracking) while still maintaining alignment with geographic coordinates in CoreLocation?
Programmatic Offsets: Are there known APIs or mathematical workarounds to programmatically "nullify" or offset a constant magnetic bias once the device is inside the cover? so we can use that offset for ARView and in Mapview as well.
I'm struggling to implement required code for SB2420 compliance.
I try to learn on a very simple use case.
the app is UIKit
Build in Xcode 26.2
it displays a single Hello view with a button that will simply show a "Good day" label.
I assume the app will be rated 4+.
I tried the following code, using available information in Xcode (limited):
import UIKit
import DeclaredAgeRange
// other import needed ?
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var welcomeLabel: UILabel! // initially hidden
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
func testAgeRange() -> Bool {
if !isEligibleForAgeFeatures { // Not found. Which import needed ?
return true // Not called from Texas
}
// Following code from Xcode doc…
do {
let response = try await AgeRangeService.shared.requestAgeRange(ageGates: 13, 15, 18) // Compiler Error: Missing argument for parameter 'in' in call
// Can I add the 4 gate ?
guard let lowerBound = response.lowerBound else {
// Allow access to under 13 features.
return false
}
var ok = false
if lowerBound >= 18 { // Not needed ?
// Allow access to 18+ features.
ok = true
} else if lowerBound >= 15 { // Not needed ?
// Allow access to 15+ features.
ok = true
} else if lowerBound >= 13 { // Not needed ?
// Require parental consent ?
// Allow access to 13+ features.
ok = true // if consent OK
} else {
// Require parental consent ?
// Show age-appropriate content
ok = true // if consent OK
}
return ok // Authorized for all 4+
} catch AgeRangeService.Error.notAvailable {
// No age range provided.
return false
}
}
func executeStart() {
welcomeLabel.isHidden = false
}
@IBAction func start(_ sender: UIButton) {
if #available(iOS 26.0, *) {
if testAgeRange() {
// Need to test for parental control here ?
} else {
// Alert and exit the app ?
}
} else {
// do nothing ? Can we run the app ?
}
executeStart()
}
}
The logic would be:
before allowing action with the start button, check
is it IOS 26+ so that we can call API
if so, is verification needed (Texas SB2420)
if not, we can proceed
if required, test age range
As app is 4+, all ranges should be OK
But need to test parental control
Now, many pending questions in code:
line 14: get an error: Cannot find 'isEligibleForAgeFeatures' in scope
line 19: I used the documentation sample for AgeRangeService, but get a Compiler Error: Missing argument for parameter 'in' in call
line 35: how to implement parental control ?
In addition, in the metadata of the app, should I declare that parental control ?
Age verification?
Mechanism for confirming that a person's age meets the age requirement for accessing content or services
As there is no restriction on age, is it required ?
Any help welcomed as well as link to a comprehensive tutorial.
We are developing Apple AI for foreign markets and adapting it for iPhone models 17 and above.
When the system language and Siri language are not the same—for example, if the system is in English and Siri is in Chinese—it can cause a situation where Apple AI cannot be used. So, may I ask if there are any other reasons that could cause Apple AI to be unavailable within the app, even if it has been enabled?
I have been trying to get into my account for several days now and I have tried everything.
First of you cannot get support because you need to be logged in so had to make another account to be able to post this. And even then the support is not working. Send an email a while ago and tried the call option and I have gotten no response from both.
I was supposed to launch my app last week and I have just not be able to log into my account. I keep getting the 'Too many verification codes have been sent. Enter the last code you received or try again later.' I didn't even do that, I just tried to log in and had that there. I have waited days and it's still there. I have tried changing the number for which I waited a day and now it's told me to wait another 6 days. This has caused so many problem and the lack of support is unbelievable.
Can anyone please help me get into my account or advise on what I can do ASAP.
Thanks,
Usama

I'm developing a VoIP app.
Currently, I'm using CallKit to control call acceptance, and end-of-call processing.
When a call comes in while using the phone, CallKit appears as a banner at the top of the screen.
When I click "Accept" on the banner, the app opens and the call is received. (For OEMs, clicking the "Accept" button in the banner will accept the call as is.)
The reason this feature is needed is, for example, when a call comes in as a banner call while using a navigation app, accepting the call causes the navigation app to go to the back and the VoIP app to come to the foreground, causing inconvenience to customers. This needs to be improved.
Please advise.
We recently upgraded OpenSSL from version 1.1.1 to 3.4.0. After this upgrade, we observed that PKCS#12 files generated using OpenSSL 3.4.0 fail to import into the macOS Keychain with the following error:
Failed to import PKCS#12 data: -25264
(MAC verification failed during PKCS12 import (wrong password?))
This issue is reproducible on macOS 14.8.2. The same PKCS#12 files import successfully on other macOS versions, including 15.x and 26.x.
Additionally, PKCS#12 files that fail to import on macOS 14.8 work correctly when copied and imported on other macOS versions without any errors.
PKCS#12 Creation
The PKCS#12 data is created using the following OpenSSL API:
const char* platformPKCS12SecureKey =
_platformSecureKey.has_value() ? _platformSecureKey.value().c_str() : NULL;
PKCS12* p12 = PKCS12_create(
platformPKCS12SecureKey,
NULL,
keys,
_cert,
NULL,
0, 0, 0, 0, 0
);
if (!p12)
{
throw std::runtime_error("Failed to create PKCS#12 container");
}
PKCS#12 Import
The generated PKCS#12 data is imported into the macOS Keychain using the following code:
NSString *certPassKey = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:getCertPassKey()];
NSDictionary *options = @{
(__bridge id)kSecImportExportPassphrase: certPassKey,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrAccessible:
(__bridge id)kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlockThisDeviceOnly,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrIsExtractable: @YES,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrIsPermanent: @YES,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrAccessGroup: APP_GROUP
};
CFArrayRef items = NULL;
OSStatus status = SecPKCS12Import(
(__bridge CFDataRef)pkcs12Data,
(__bridge CFDictionaryRef)options,
&items
);

The profile expiration date is approaching, and no amount of inquiries will solve it.
Create a new profile
Download a new profile from Xcode
Press archive, press Distribute App, press Enterprise, and distribute
Invalid expiration date in profile of summary of review app.ipa content
I've tried everything that comes out by Googleing profiles, such as regenerating profiles, erasing caches, updating Xcode, updating macOS, deleting existing profile information, etc.
Expiration date different from the expiration date of the profile created in that menu is displayed.
The expiration date of the profile I created is December 8, 2026, and the previous certificate is January 22, 2026.
However, the profile information of the generated ipa is February 12, 2026.
So I can't distribute this app because I'm scared, and the expiration date is coming up. Users should have a period of time to update.
Get me a novice developer who's choking up.
Hello,
I am developing an internal phone application using CallKit.
I am experiencing an issue with the behavior of remoteHandle settings in iOS 26 and would appreciate any insights you can provide towards a solution.
1. Problem Description
When an iPhone running iOS 26 is in a sleep state and receives a VoIP incoming call where remoteHandle is set to nil or an empty string (@""), we are unable to transition to our application (the UIExtension provided by the provider) from the CallKit UI's "More" (…) button after answering the call.
2. Conditions and Symptoms
OS Version: iOS 26
Initial State: iPhone is in a sleep state
Call Type: An unsolicited(unknown number) VoIP incoming call where the CXCallUpdate's remoteHandle is set to either nil or [[CXHandle alloc] initWithType:CXHandleTypePhoneNumber value:@""]
Symptoms: After answering the VoIP call by sliding the button, selecting the "More" (…) button displayed on the CallKit screen does not launch our application's UIExtension (custom UI), and the iPhone instead stay to the CallKit screen.
3. Previous Behavior (Up to iOS 18)
Up to iOS 18, even when remoteHandle was set to an empty string using the following code, the application would transition normally from "More" after answering an incoming call from a sleep state.
CXCallUpdate *update = [[CXCallUpdate alloc] init];
update.remoteHandle = [[CXHandle alloc] initWithType:CXHandleTypePhoneNumber value:@""];
[provider reportNewIncomingCallWithUUID:uuid update:update completion:completion];
4. Unsuccessful Attempts to Resolve
The issue remained unresolved after changing the handling for unsolicited(unknown number) incoming calls as follows:
CXCallUpdate *update = [[CXCallUpdate alloc] init];
update.remoteHandle = nil; // Set remoteHandle to nil
[provider reportNewIncomingCallWithUUID:uuid update:update completion:completion];
5. Workaround (Temporary)
The problem can be resolved, and the application can transition successfully, by setting a dummy numerical value (e.g., "0") for the value in remoteHandle using the following code:
CXCallUpdate *update = [[CXCallUpdate alloc] init];
update.remoteHandle = [[CXHandle alloc] initWithType:CXHandleTypePhoneNumber value:@"0"]; // Set a dummy numerical value
[provider reportNewIncomingCallWithUUID:uuid update:update completion:completion];
6. Additional Information
If remoteHandle is correctly set with the caller's number (i.e., not an unsolicited(unknown number) call; e.g., value:@"1234567890"), the application transitions normally from the "More" button after answering an incoming call from a sleep state, even in iOS 26.
The above issue does not occur when answering incoming calls while the iPhone is in an active state (not sleeping).
7. Questions
Have there been any other reports of similar behavior?
Should this be considered a bug in CallKit for iOS 26? Should I make file a new Feedback report?
Is there a suitable method to resolve this issue when the caller ID is unsolicited (nil or an empty string)?
This problem significantly impacts user operations as end-users are unable to perform essential in-app actions such as hold or transfer after answering an unsolicited(unknown number) call from a sleep state. We are eager to find an urgent solution and would appreciate any information or advice you can provide.
Thank you for your assistance.
Hi there,
We have been trying to set up URL filtering for our app but have run into a wall with generating the bloom filter.
Firstly, some context about our set up:
OHTTP handlers
Uses pre-warmed lambdas to expose the gateway and the configs endpoints using the javascript libary referenced here - https://developers.cloudflare.com/privacy-gateway/get-started/#resources
Status = untested
We have not yet got access to Apples relay servers
PIR service
We run the PIR service through AWS ECS behind an ALB
The container clones the following repo https://github.com/apple/swift-homomorphic-encryption, outside of config changes, we do not have any custom functionality
Status = working
From the logs, everything seems to be working here because it is responding to queries when they are sent, and never blocking anything it shouldn’t
Bloom filter generation
We generate a bloom filter from the following url list:
https://example.com
http://example.com
example.com
Then we put the result into the url filtering example application from here - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/filtering-traffic-by-url
The info generated from the above URLs is:
{
"bits": 44,
"hashes": 11,
"seed": 2538058380,
"content": "m+yLyZ4O"
}
Status = broken
We think this is broken because we are getting requests to our PIR server for every single website we visit
We would have expected to only receive requests to the PIR server when going to example.com because it’s in our block list
It’s possible that behind the scenes Apple runs sporadically makes requests regardless of the bloom filter result, but that isn’t what we’d expect
We are generating our bloom filter in the following way:
We double hash the URL using fnv1a for the first, and murmurhash3 for the second
hashTwice(value: any, seed?: any): any {
return {
first: Number(fnv1a(value, { size: 32 })),
second: murmurhash3(value, seed),
};
}
We calculate the index positions from the following function/formula , as seen in https://github.com/ameshkov/swift-bloom/blob/master/Sources/BloomFilter/BloomFilter.swift#L96
doubleHashing(n: number, hashA: number, hashB: number, size: number): number {
return Math.abs((hashA + n * hashB) % size);
}
Questions:
What hashing algorithms are used and can you link an implementation that you know is compatible with Apple’s?
How are the index positions calculated from the iteration number, the size, and the hash results?
There was mention of a tool for generating a bloom filter that could be used for Apple’s URL filtering implementation, when can we expect the release of this tool?
