Reply to App Groups names are red
App groups on the Mac have undergone significant changes in the last year or so. For the backstory, read App Groups: macOS vs iOS: Working Towards Harmony. What style of app group ID are you using? macOS style, that starts with a Team ID? Or iOS-style, that starts with group.? And what version of Xcode is this?

App Groups names are red
I have recently restarted an old code base. The app uses App Groups to communicate with network and endpoint system extensions. For some reason, in Xcode > Target > Signing & Capabilities the app groups are showing up with red text. I feel the red signifies a problem, but I cannot figure out what it is. The app compiles and runs, but I feel there is problem that I am missing. Any idea why App Group names would be displayed in red?

NSToolbar Space item rendered with Liquid Glass Background
Hi, I have a NSToolbar in my Mac Catalyst app with a space and flexible space item in it (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nstoolbaritem/identifier/space). On macOS Tahoe the space item is being rendered with a Liquid Glass effect and seems to be automatically grouped with the previous item. Is there a way to prevent this? It basically adds some undesired padding next to the previous item and looks add. The flexible space is rendered normally and as before. I am talking about the space right next to the back chevron item. Thanks for any hints!

Reply to SwiftData with CloudKit in Widgets
An app and its extensions can share a SwiftData store located in a shared App Group container. The following Apple sample demonstrates that: Adopting SwiftData for a Core Data app The discussion in this post may help as well, if you have any data update issue. CloudKit integration adds more complexity on this topic. You can start with checking if this post helps. SwiftData + CloudKit uses NSPersistentCloudKitContainer under the hood, and so the content applies. Best, —— Ziqiao Chen  Worldwide Developer Relations.

App is stuck in "Waiting for review" for more than a month, going past my launching deadline
Hi, I'm here hoping for some help or advice in terms of a critical situation I'm currently facing. I've submitted an iOS app more than one month ago, it was quickly got review and rejected twice, and when I re-submit the third time with new build, it then was stuck in the Waiting for review status for about 3 weeks. Then, I decided to withdraw the submission and re-submit again, but it doesn't work and remain Waiting for review status until now. During these waiting period, I’ve contacted Apple Support multiple times through mails, and received confirmation that my expedited review request was approved. However, no progress has been made since then. Here is a quick summary of the timeline Initial submission: July 29, 2025 Rejected due to Guideline 4.2.2 & 2.1: July 30, 2025 Second submission: Aug 4, 2025 Rejected due to Guideline 4.2.2 & 4.2.0: Aug 6, 2025 Third submission: Aug 6, 2025 Withdraw third & create forth submission: Aug 25, 2025 If anyone from the App Review team sees this post

SwiftData with CloudKit in Widgets
Good morning everyone! Today I have a question about using SwiftData with CloudKit and Widgets. I recently set up my project for SwiftData and CloudKit synchronization, but for some reason, I’m not able to give my Widget access to this data. CloudKit works perfectly fine for my main app, but the Widget only shows placeholder data(the placeholder data which were defined in the get functions as catch, this is sure). I have set the CloudKit capability for my Widget extension and tried fetching data with the get-functions in the code below. I also ensured that the data model files are members of the Widget extension target and that the Widget extension uses the same CloudKit container as the main app. I wondered if it is possible and reasonable to save a copy of my CloudKit data in an App Group container, but in that case, the information shown in the Widget are not always up-to-date, so a solution that fetches data directly from CloudKit would be better. Has anyone had experience with this case? I could

Wi-Fi Settings Lost During Native MDM Migration in iOS/macOS 26 Latest Beta
Hi Apple Community, At WWDC25, introduced a native device migration feature with iOS/macOS 26 and Apple Business Manager that promises seamless migration from one MDM to another without wiping devices or manual re-enrollment. That said, while testing this in iOS/macOS 26 beta, we ran into an issue: the Wi-Fi settings deployed by the old MDM aren’t retained during the migration. This means devices lose Wi-Fi connectivity partway through, and users have to manually reconnect before the migration to the new MDM can continue. This interrupts what should be a smooth, hands-off process. We wanted to ask if this is a known issue or limitation with the current beta? Are there any recommended ways to avoid losing Wi-Fi profiles during this migration window? Will this improve in future updates so that the Wi-Fi connection is preserved or seamlessly handed off to the new MDM? Any tips, workarounds, or official guidance Apple can share on best practices for handling Wi-Fi profiles during ABM-native device migrat

Reply to ContactProviderManager Fails with Custom domainIdentifier, Works Only with "defaultDomain"
Thank you for your response to my previous feedback , confirming that registering custom ContactProviderDomain identifiers is a known limitation and currently unsupported. I am submitting this follow-up to seek clarification on this limitation and request improvements to the documentation to prevent confusion for other developers. Background: The ContactProvider framework allows creating a ContactProviderDomain with a custom identifier, but initializing ContactProviderManager with any identifier other than defaultDomain results in a ContactProviderError.domainNotRegistered error. Your response clarified that custom domains are unsupported, but the documentation does not explicitly state this limitation, leading to confusion. Questions for Clarification Future Support: Is there a plan to support registering custom ContactProviderDomain identifiers in future iOS versions (e.g., iOS 18.2, iOS 19.0)? If so, can you provide an estimated timeline? If custom domains will remain unsupported, can this be confirmed as

Reply to Bones/joints data issue - USD file export from Blender to RCP
Yes, AnimationLibraryComponent works fine in RCP but I need to import the same file multiple times in RCP to get all the animations (exporting them from Blender). I then need to manually add all the animations to the first file so I can build the library. Would be cool if the USD file could read the animation strips (NLA) and combining all animations in separate slots for RCP. The BOT-anist is the best example so far for this issue, thanks for guiding me to the pin system. I'm trying quite a lot but no success so far. Hopefully, I will make it work. In WWDC25 What's new in RealityKit, the presenter says the following: There is also a new entity attach method that allows you to attach one entity to the pin of another entity. This API greatly simplifies attaching meshes to the joints of an animated skeleton. Hope this will be in VisionOS 26.

ContactProviderManager Fails with Custom domainIdentifier, Works Only with "defaultDomain"
Has anyone encountered a situation like mine below? I’ve submitted feedback, but it seems like I’ll have to wait for a while. ContactProviderManager Fails with Custom domainIdentifier, Works Only with defaultDomain Category: Developer Tools / Frameworks Subcategory: ContactProvider Framework Reproducibility: Always iOS Version: iOS 18.0 (and later) Xcode Version: Xcode 16.0 (or later) Description: When initializing a ContactProviderManager with a custom ContactProviderDomain using any identifier other than defaultDomain, the initializer throws a ContactProviderError.domainNotRegistered error. The documentation for ContactProviderDomain (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/contactprovider/contactproviderdomain) does not provide any method to register custom identifiers, making it impossible to use ContactProviderManager with a desired custom identifier. The only successful case is when the identifier is defaultDomain. print(Error: (error)) // No error, initialization succeeds Steps to Reproduce: Create a

dlsym cannot find symbol g_dwILResult when debugging an audio plugin
I am trying to debug the AAX version of my plugin (MIDI effect) on Pro Tools, but I am getting the following error (Mac console) when attempting to load it: dlsym cannot find symbol g_dwILResult in CFBundle etc..
