My personal project is a bit further along however after not being able to get this to work in my app I fell back to a much simpler/proven implementation out there. There is this project on GitHub with a guide that implements a barebones app extension with packet tunneling. I figure this can give us common ground. After changing the bundle and group identifiers to all end with -Caleb and or match up I tried running the app. The app extension does not work whatsoever and seemingly for reasons that are similar to my personal project. If I pull up the console and filter for the subsystem (com.github.kean.vpn-client-caleb.vpn-tunnel) I see the following. First you see installd installing it 0x16ba5f000 -[MIUninstaller _uninstallBundleWithIdentity:linkedToChildren:waitForDeletion:uninstallReason:temporaryReference:deleteDataContainers:wasLastReference:error:]: Destroying container com.github.kean.vpn-client-caleb.vpn-tunnel with persona 54D15361-A614-4E0D-931A-0953CDB50CE8 at /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/PluginKitPlugin/2D0AE485-BB56-4E3E-B59E-48424CD4FD65 And then installd says this (No idea what it means) 0x16b9d3000 -[MIInstallationJournalEntry _refreshUUIDForContainer:withError:]: Data container for com.github.kean.vpn-client-caleb.vpn-tunnel is now at /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/PluginKitPlugin/2D0AE485-BB56-4E3E-B59E-48424CD4FD65 Concerningly runningboardd seems to immediately try and stop it?

If I widen my search a bit I can see backboardd saying things like Connection removed: IOHIDEventSystemConnection uuid:57E97E5D-8CDE-467B-81CA-36A93C7684AD pid:1054 process:vpn-client type:Passive entitlements:0x0 caller:BackBoardServices: <redacted> + 280 attributes:{ HighFrequency = 1; bundleID = "com.github.kean.vpn-client-caleb"; pid = 1054; } state:0x1 events:119 mask:0x800 dropped:0 dropStatus:0 droppedMask:0x0 lastDroppedTime:NONE Or Removing client connection <BKHIDClientConnection: 0xbf9828cd0; IOHIDEventSystemConnectionRef: 0xbf96d9600; vpid: 1054(vAF7); taskPort: 0x5D777; bundleID: com.github.kean.vpn-client-caleb> for client: IOHIDEventSystemConnection uuid:57E97E5D-8CDE-467B-81CA-36A93C7684AD pid:1054 process:vpn-client type:Passive entitlements:0x0 caller:BackBoardServices: <redacted> + 280 attributes:{ HighFrequency = 1; bundleID = "com.github.kean.vpn-client-caleb"; pid = 1054; } state:0x1 events:119 mask:0x800 dropped:0 dropStatus:0 droppedMask:0x0 lastDroppedTime:NONE source:HID There's really nothing in the sysdiagnose either. No crash no nothing. I am stumped. Any idea what might be going wrong for me here? Has something about the way app extensions or sandbox rules work changed in later OSes?

It only seems to happen in the real app I am working on and not within any of the test apps I make. Its lasted a few Xcode versions. Don't know if this is widespread to the point of having a name?

I can certainly see how many devices hit it but its a but is there enough data here to know if this was a fluke vs "every time x" thing that may be more annoying? Given at this point my app is only rolled out to a few users the number of devices isn't as useful for telling me which crashes to prioritize. In this screenshot I can tell two devices hit it. But did they only hit it once? Daily?

Hello, I have an old app that was pulled from the App Store after my developer account expired (was a free app, wasn't going to pay 99$ a year to keep it up). I would like to revitalize it porting it mostly to swift. This would be much easier if I could just create a new Xcode project. However I do want people who previously owned the app to receive it as as a free update/download given they have already purchased it. If I create a new project. Can I set it to the same bundle identifier and not encounter any problems uploading it to the App Store this way? Or is there some reason this is a bad idea? It is fairly hard to test this given I am not currently a part of the paid developer program. And additionally I don't want to "test" publishing the app for review. Does anyone know if this will work out ok? Has anyone done this themselves?

I have created an app that for now will be iPhone only. I am on a serious crunch to get it released this weekend or potentially never so I can't afford to iterate on review too much. Although I have set the configuration/project/build to be iPhone only App Store Connect still shows a box for uploading iPad screenshots and I am worried this means there is something wrong. If I look at my pbxproj file I see this 3C33C170211E2E6A0075A55D /* Release */ = { isa = XCBuildConfiguration; buildSettings = { ASSETCATALOG_COMPILER_APPICON_NAME = IC5; CLANG_ENABLE_MODULES = YES; CODE_SIGN_STYLE = Automatic; CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION = 5; DEVELOPMENT_TEAM = 922QE82JGA; FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS = ""; HEADER_SEARCH_PATHS = ""; INFOPLIST_FILE = TrilliumRemastered/Info.plist; IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET = 13.2; LD_RUNPATH_SEARCH_PATHS = ( "$(inherited)", "@executable_path/Frameworks", ); LIBRARY_SEARCH_PATHS = ""; MARKETING_VERSION = 1.0.10; OTHER_LDFLAGS = "$(inherited)"; PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER = com.calebkierum.TrilliumRemastered; PRODUCT_NAME = "$(TARGET_NAME)"; SWIFT_OBJC_BRIDGING_HEADER = "TrilliumRemastered/TrilliumRemastered-Bridging-Header.h"; SWIFT_VERSION = 5.0; TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY = 1; }; name = Release; }; No where does it have anything other than TARGETED_DEVICE_FAMILY = 1. Has anyone had this issue before? If so how did you fix it?

I am trying to create a cross platform application where some of the code is shared among the Android and iOS version and is written in c++ however I am not really sure where to begin with the XCode/iOS/Swift side of things. I can write c++ code but I am not sure where to put it. Most of the tutorials I can find show how to include already compiled c++ code into your project but I want to be able to write it alongside my swift code just like I might do with a bridging header in objective-c.How can I set up XCode so I can edit and compile my c++ code alongside my Swift code?
