In my SceneKit game I'm able to connect two players with GKMatchmakerViewController. Now I want to support the scenario where one of them disconnects and wants to reconnect. I tried to do this with this code: nonisolated public func match(_ match: GKMatch, player: GKPlayer, didChange state: GKPlayerConnectionState) { Task { @MainActor in switch state { case .connected: break case .disconnected, .unknown: let matchRequest = GKMatchRequest() matchRequest.recipients = [player] do { try await GKMatchmaker.shared().addPlayers(to: match, matchRequest: matchRequest) } catch { } @unknown default: break } } } nonisolated public func player(_ player: GKPlayer, didAccept invite: GKInvite) { guard let viewController = GKMatchmakerViewController(invite: invite) else { return } viewController.matchmakerDelegate = self present(viewController) } But after presenting the view controller with GKMatchmakerViewController(invite:), nothing else happens. I would expect matchmakerViewController(_:didFind:) to be called, or how would I get an instance of GKMatch? Here is the code I use to reproduce the issue, and below the reproduction steps. Code Run the attached project on an iPad and a Mac simultaneously. On both devices, tap the ship to connect to GameCenter. Create an automatched match by tapping the rightmost icon on both devices. When the two devices are matched, on iPad close the dialog and tap on the ship to disconnect from GameCenter. Wait some time until the Mac detects the disconnect and automatically sends an invitation to join again. When the notification arrives on the iPad, tap it, then tap the ship to connect to GameCenter again. The iPad receives the call player(_:didAccept:), but nothing else, so there’s no way to get a GKMatch instance again.

I was just comparing the build settings of two of my apps to try to understand why they behave differently (one of them uses the full screen on iPad, and the other one has small top and bottom black borders, although that's not the issue I want to discuss now). I saw that the option CLANG_CXX_LANGUAGE_STANDARD is set to gnu++0x for the older project, while it's set to gnu++17 for the newer one. The documentation lists different possible values and also a default one: Compiler Default: Tells the compiler to use its default C++ language dialect. This is normally the best choice unless you have specific needs. (Currently equivalent to GNU++98.) If it really is the best choice (normally), why is it not used when creating a new default Xcode project? Or is it better to select a newer compiler version (GNU++98 sounds quite old compared to GNU++17)? Also, does this affect Swift code?

This crash report for one of my apps was downloaded by Xcode. Apparently the app crashed while releasing an object of type Scan.File, which is a Swift class held in an array in the Scan.Directory class. I'm not doing any manual reference counting or low-level stuff with that object. What could cause such a crash? crash.crash

On macOS, the Finder allows to connect to a server and store the login credentials. When creating a bookmark to a file on a server and resolving it again, the server is mounted automatically (unless I provide the option URL.BookmarkResolutionOptions.withoutMounting). I just tried connecting to my Mac from my iPad via SMB in the Files app and storing a bookmark to a file on the server, but disconnecting the server and trying to resolve the bookmark throws the error (I translated the English text from Italian): Error Domain=NSFileProviderErrorDomain Code=-2001 "No file provider was found with the identifier "com.apple.SMBClientProvider.FileProvider"'" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=No file provider was found with the identifier "com.apple.SMBClientProvider.FileProvider"., NSUnderlyingError=0x302a1a340 {Error Domain=NSFileProviderErrorDomain Code=-2013 "(null) "}} Every time I disconnect and reconnect to the server, selecting the same file returns a different path. The first time I got /private/var/mobile/Library/LiveFiles/com.apple.filesystems.smbclientd/WtFD3Ausername/path/to/file.txt The next time WtFD3A changed to EqHc2g and so on. Is it not possible to automatically mount a server when resolving a bookmark on iOS? The following code allows to reproduce the issue: struct ContentView: View { @State private var isPresentingFilePicker = false @AppStorage("bookmarkData") private var bookmarkData: Data? @State private var url: URL? @State private var stale = false @State private var error: Error? var body: some View { VStack { Button("Open") { isPresentingFilePicker = true } if let url = url { Text(url.path) } else if bookmarkData != nil { Text("couldn't resolve bookmark data") } else { Text("no bookmark data") } if stale { Text("bookmark is stale") } if let error = error { Text("\(error)") .foregroundStyle(.red) } } .padding() .fileImporter(isPresented: $isPresentingFilePicker, allowedContentTypes: [.data]) { result in do { let url = try result.get() if url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() { bookmarkData = try url.bookmarkData() } } catch { self.error = error } } .onChange(of: bookmarkData, initial: true) { _, bookmarkData in if let bookmarkData = bookmarkData { do { url = try URL(resolvingBookmarkData: bookmarkData, bookmarkDataIsStale: &stale) } catch { self.error = error } } } } }

On macOS, we have didMountNotification but there doesn't seem to be an equivalent for iOS. Is there a way to be notified when a volume is mounted on iOS? I would like to use it in my iOS app I'm currently porting from macOS, which starts a synchronization from the volume (which has been previously selected in a NSOpenPanel) as soon as it's mounted.

Some time ago I read somewhere that one can get a file icon on iOS like this: UIDocumentInteractionController(url: url).icons.last!) but this always returns the following image for every file: Today I tried the following, which always returns nil: (try? url.resourceValues(forKeys: [.effectiveIconKey]))?.allValues[.effectiveIconKey] as? UIImage Is there any way to get a file icon on iOS? You can try the above methods in this sample app: struct ContentView: View { @State private var isPresentingFilePicker = false @State private var url: URL? var body: some View { VStack { Button("Open") { isPresentingFilePicker = true } if let url = url { Image(uiImage: UIDocumentInteractionController(url: url).icons.last!) if let image = (try? url.resourceValues(forKeys: [.effectiveIconKey]))?.allValues[.effectiveIconKey] as? UIImage { Image(uiImage: image) } else { Text("none") } } } .padding() .fileImporter(isPresented: $isPresentingFilePicker, allowedContentTypes: [.data]) { result in do { let url = try result.get() if url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() { self.url = url } } catch { preconditionFailure(error.localizedDescription) } } } }

I have a very basic App Intent extension in my macOS app that does nothing than accepting two parameters, but running it in Shortcuts always produces the error "The action “Compare” could not run because an internal error occurred.". What am I doing wrong? struct CompareIntent: AppIntent { static let title = LocalizedStringResource("intent.compare.title") static let description = IntentDescription("intent.compare.description") static let openAppWhenRun = true @Parameter(title: "intent.compare.parameter.original") var original: String @Parameter(title: "intent.compare.parameter.modified") var modified: String func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { return .result() } }

I rarely use the Shortcuts app, so it took me a while to notice that my app's app intents all show incorrectly on macOS 15. On macOS 14 and 13, they used to show correctly, but now it seems that all localized strings show the key rather than the localized value. @available(iOS 16.0, macOS 13.0, *) struct MyAppIntent: AppIntent { static let title = LocalizedStringResource("key1", comment: "") static let description = IntentDescription(LocalizedStringResource("key2", comment: "")) ... } In Localizable.xcstrings file I have defined all the strings, for instance I have associated key1 with the value Title, but while the Shortcuts app used to display Title, it now displays key1. Is this a known issue or did something change in macOS 15 that would require me to update something?

The following code works when compiling for macOS: print(NSMutableDictionary().isEqual(to: NSMutableDictionary())) but produces a compiler error when compiling for iOS: 'NSMutableDictionary' is not convertible to '[AnyHashable : Any]' NSDictionary.isEqual(to:) has the same signature on macOS and iOS. Why does this happen? Can I use NSDictionary.isEqual(_:) instead?

Before updating to macOS 15 Sequoia, I used to be able to create file bookmarks with this code: let openPanel = NSOpenPanel() openPanel.runModal() let url = openPanel.urls[0] do { let _ = try url.bookmarkData(options: [.withSecurityScope]) } catch { print(error) } Now I get an error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=256 "Failed to retrieve app-scope key" These are the entitlements: com.apple.security.app-sandbox com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write com.apple.security.files.bookmarks.app-scope Strangely, my own apps continued working, after updating to macOS 15 some days ago, until a few moments ago. Then it seems that all of a sudden my existing bookmarks couldn't be resolved anymore, and no new bookmarks could be created. What could be the problem?

All the threads only contain system calls. The crashed thread only contains a single call to my app's code which is main.swift:12. What could cause such a crash? crash.txt

I used to be able to see how many TSIs are still available for the membership year on the developer website, but now I cannot find it anymore. Is it still 2 per year, or has it been recently changed to unlimited per year?

A customer of mine reported that since updating to macOS 15 they aren't able to use my app anymore, which performs a deep scan of selected folders by recursively calling getattrlistbulk. The problem is that the app apparently keeps scanning forever, with the number of scanned files linearly increasing to infinity. This happens for some folders on a SMB volume. The customer confirmed that they can reproduce the issue with a small sample app that I attach below. At first, I created a sample app that only scans the contents of the selected folder without recursively scanning the subcontents, but the issue didn't happen anymore, so it seems to be related to recursively calling getattrlistbulk. The output of the sample app on the customer's Mac is similar to this: start scan /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents level 0 fileManagerCount 2847 continue scan /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents new items 8, sum 8, errno 34 /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents/A.doc /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents/B.doc ... continue scan /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents new items 7, sum 1903, errno 0 /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents/FKV.pdf /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents/KFW.doc /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents/A.doc /Volumes/shares/Backup/Documents/B.doc ... which shows that counting the number of files in the root folder by using try FileManager.default.contentsOfDirectory(atPath: path).count returns 2847, while getattrlistbulk lists about 1903 files and then starts listing the files from the beginning, not even between repeated calls, but within a single call. What could this issue be caused by? (The website won't let me attach .swift files, so I include the source code of the sample app as a text attachment.) ViewController.swift

Every now and then I get this very frustrating message on Feedback Assistant. For instance, in FB14696726 I reported an issue with the App Store Connect API. 4 weeks later, I got a reply, asking among other things for a „correlation key and Charles log“. I immediately replied saying that I didn‘t know what those are, and they replied After reviewing your feedback, it is unclear what the exact issue is. I pointed out that I had asked a question which was left unanswered, and they replied explaining what the correlation key is. Then I asked again what the Charles log is. They replied The Apple Developer website provides access to a range of videos covering various topics on using and developing with Apple technologies. You can find these videos on our Development Videos page: http://developer.apple.com/videos. I opened the link and searched for „Charles“ but there were no results, so I asked to kindly point me to the video answering my question. They replied 3 months later (today): Following up on our last message, we believe this issue is either resolved or not reproducible with the information provided and will now consider this report closed internally. This Feedback will no longer be monitored, and incoming messages will not be reviewed. This is not the first time I ask for clarification and get back a message basically telling me that „we won‘t answer any questions you may have and won‘t hear anything you still may have to say about this issue“. They didn‘t even ask me to verify if the issue is resolved or not, like they sometimes do. No, they just shut the door in my face. I just wanted to share this frustrating experience. Perhaps an Apple engineer wants to say something about it or a developer has had a similar experience?

I've been running my SceneKit game for many weeks in Xcode without performance issues. The game itself is finished, so I thought I could go on with publishing it on the App Store, but when archiving it in Xcode and running the archived app, I noticed that it seriously hangs. The hangs only seem to happen when I run the game in fullscreen mode. I tried disabling game mode, but the hangs still happen. Only when I run in windowed mode the game runs smoothly. Instruments confirms that there are many serious hangs, but it also reports that CPU usage is quite low during those hangs, on average about 15%. From what I know, hangs happen when the main thread is busy, but how can that be when CPU usage is so low, and why does it only happen in fullscreen mode for release builds?
