Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm experiencing an issue on macOS where ASWebAuthenticationSession fails to display its authentication window. The session is created successfully and start() returns true, but: no UI is shown, presentationAnchor(for:) is never invoked, the completion handler is never called, and no errors appear in Console.app or Xcode logs. This happens both when using the session via a Flutter plugin and when calling ASWebAuthenticationSession directly from Swift. Environment macOS 14.6 (Sonoma) Xcode latest stable Target: macOS 10.15+ App type: sandboxed macOS app, hardened runtime enabled The project also includes a Login Item (SMAppService) target Redirect URI scheme: myapp-auth://callback Problem Description When I trigger authentication, the logs show: [AuthPlugin] Starting ASWebAuthenticationSession... After that: no authentication sheet appears, presentationAnchor(for:) is never called, the completion handler is not invoked. The main window is visible and active when the method is c

Hi everyone, after enabling CloudKit in my project, my app started showing conflicts between MusicKit and CloudKit entitlements — and now Xcode is failing to generate the provisioning profile entirely. Current issue (Signing / Provisioning Profile Failure) Xcode shows this error: “Provisioning profile ‘iOS Team Provisioning Profile: team8.groovefy.dev’ doesn’t include the entitlements: com.apple.developer.media-library, com.apple.developer.music-user-token, com.apple.developer.musickit, com.apple.developer.playable-content, com.apple.security.exception.mach-lookup.global-name” Automatic signing fails, and Xcode cannot create or update the provisioning profile. This started right after CloudKit was enabled in the project. Context Before enabling CloudKit, MusicKit worked normally, including Apple Music authentication and playlist creation. After activating CloudKit capabilities: MusicKit stopped generating the Apple Music user token Playlist creation broke Now the provisioning profile cannot be rebuilt because

I am making an iOS step counting app and I have included a widget in the design. I would like to get the widget to pull data from the main app to display step count etc so I created a bundle id for the widget and have been trying to use a group id to link them together. The group capabilities for both seem to be set up/enabled properly with the same App Groups id, but I've been getting an error in xcode which says, 'Provisioning Profile: BUNDLE_ID doesn't include the com.apple.developer.security.application-groups entitlement.' Try Again But the identifiers do have the App Group id enabled. I have tried automatic signing, manual signing with generated profiles, unchecking and rechecking auto-signing, removing and re-adding the group capability. Creating a new bundle id from scratch, creating a new group id from scratch. Always I get the error. I've really pulled my hair out troubleshooting this and would appreciate support. I'm happy to answer an

Hello everyone, I am developing a Flutter iOS application that includes a Widget Extension + Live Activity (ActivityKit). The project runs successfully on the iOS simulator when launched directly from Xcode, but it cannot be signed properly via Flutter and I cannot upload the build to App Store Connect due to the following CodeSign error: Command CodeSign failed with a nonzero exit code Provisioning profile … doesn't include the entitlement: com.apple.developer.activitykit.allow-third-party-activity This error never goes away no matter what I try. And the main problem is that my App ID does NOT show any ActivityKit or Live Activity capability in the Apple Developer portal → Identifiers → App ID. So I cannot enable it manually. However: Xcode requires this entitlement Flutter requires this entitlement When I add the entitlement manually in the .entitlements file, Xcode says: “This entitlement must be enabled in your Developer account. It cannot be added manually.” So I am stuck in a loop where: Apple Developer

Hi everyone, I’m working on a screen that uses a single SwiftUI List composed of: a top block (statistics, month picker, year selector, total, Entrata/Uscita picker). a list of transactions grouped by day, each group inside its own Section. each row is a fully custom card with rounded corners (RoundedCornerShape) I’m correctly removing all separators using: .listRowSeparator(.hidden) .listSectionSeparator(.hidden) .scrollContentBackground(.hidden) .listStyle(.plain) Each row is rendered like this: TransazioneSwipeRowView(...) .listRowInsets(EdgeInsets(top: 0, leading: 16, bottom: 0, trailing: 16)) .listRowBackground(Color.clear) However, I still see thin horizontal lines appearing between: the search bar and the top block the top block and the start of the list between rows inside the grouped section sometimes at the bottom of a Section These lines are NOT: Divider() system separators backgrounds row borders They seem to be “ghost lines” automatically generated by SwiftUI’s List whe

I have many Apple devices, such as macbook, iPad and iPhone. It's very convenient for me to transfer files between devices. However, when I want to send files to my own device in public places, I often click on the wrong recipient because the list avatar keeps changing. I hope the list of recipients can be grouped One group is my own device (or the one I often send to), and the other group is other devices. When the user is about to send, the mouse will be in a relatively fixed and mentally expected area. I feel that this can reduce the probability of sending wrongly

Hello, I’m seeking help regarding an App Review situation that has become increasingly difficult to resolve. Our app has been in review since July 29, and despite multiple rounds of communication, detailed explanations, updated builds, and full implementation of all required changes, the review process continues to stall without clear feedback. Most recently, we received new review questions regarding the External Purchase entitlement and the “Notify Me When Open” feature. We provided a detailed explanation addressing each point, including clarification that: All digital purchases, including Online Groups, use the StoreKit External Purchase API. The External Purchase Modal Sheet appears before every purchase flow. The “Notify Me When Open” feature does not initiate or bypass a payment flow; it only notifies users when a time-scheduled course becomes available, after which the user proceeds through the standard StoreKit External Purchase Modal Sheet. After submitting these explanations, our app return

I have been working on an app for the past few months, and one issue that I have encountered a few times is an error where quick subsequent deletions cause issues with detached tasks that are triggered from some user actions. Inside a Task.detached, I am building an isolated model context, querying for LineItems, then iterating over those items. The crash happens when accessing a Transaction property through a relationship. var byTransactionId: [UUID: [LineItem]] { return Dictionary(grouping: self) { item in item.transaction?.id ?? UUID() } } In this case, the transaction has been deleted, but the relationship existed when the fetch occurred, so the transaction value is non-nil. The crash occurs when accessing the id. This is the error. SwiftData/BackingData.swift:1035: Fatal error: This model instance was invalidated because its backing data could no longer be found the store. PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(backing: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.PersistentIdentifierBacki

I'm experiencing the following error with my SwiftData container when running a build: Code=134504 Cannot use staged migration with an unknown model version. Code Structure - Summary I am using a versionedSchema to store multiple models in SwiftData. I started experiencing this issue when adding two new models in the newest Schema version. Starting from the current public version, V4.4.6, there are two migrations. Migration Summary The first migration is to V4.4.7. This is a lightweight migration removing one attribute from one of the models. This was tested and worked successfully. The second migration is to V5.0.0. This is a custom migration adding two new models, and instantiating instances of the two new models based on data from instances of the existing models. In the initial testing of this version, no issues were observed. Issue and Steps to Reproduce Reproduction of issue: Starting from a fresh build of the publicly released V4.4.6, I run a new build that contains both Schema Versio

I'd like to report an issue with the App Referrer source segmentation in the App Store Connect Analytics API. Issue Summary When retrieving impression data via the App Store Connect Analytics API using groupBy=[sourceType, sourceInfo], the impressions attributed to specific referring apps (e.g., Facebook, Instagram) do not match the values displayed in the App Store Connect web dashboard. Details The total impressions in the API and dashboard are completely consistent, with the report category: App Store Discovery and Engagement Standard_Daily. The aggregated App Referrer (overall category) is also consistent. However, the detailed segmentation data in App Referrer is inconsistent, with the report category: App Store Discovery and Engagement Detailed_Daily. For example: The web dashboard shows significantly more impressions attributed to Facebook or Instagram. The API returns fewer impressions for the same referral source. Furthermore, the API does not return any unknown/other referral source entries
