“SwiftData inheritance relationship”

Question detail Dear Apple Developer Technical Support, We are currently following the official Apple documentation “TN3159: Migrating Sign in with Apple users for an app transfer” to carry out a Sign in with Apple user migration after successfully transferring several apps to a new developer account. Here is a summary of our situation: Under the original Apple developer account, we had five apps using Sign in with Apple, grouped under a shared primary app using App Grouping. Recently, we transferred three of these apps to our new Apple developer account via App Store Connect. After the transfer, these three apps are no longer associated with the original primary App ID. We reconfigured individual Services IDs for each app in the new account and enabled Sign in with Apple for each. More than 24 hours have passed since the app transfer was completed. Now we are attempting to follow the migration process to restore user access via the user.migration flow. Specifically, we are using the following script to reque

I'm trying to digest and understand the new set of APIs relating age verification that were released last week. I have say that without some cohesive overview, example app, just a simple diagram showing the relationship of everything, its not at all clear to me what's going on nor what an app developer is expected to do to use these apis (I'm a senior engineer with 15 year's iOS experience, but hey maybe I'm just a bit slow in the head). I have a few questions, but the topic of this post is what is the relationship between age verification i.e. between the declared age range/significant change and Permission Kit? The documentation for the former mentions the Significant Change API/Topic (https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=2ezb6jhj / https://developer.apple.com/documentation/PermissionKit/SignificantAppUpdateTopic). Now the Significant Change Topic is documented as being part of PermissionKit, however the documentation for that (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/permissionkit) State

If an app is using top-level models, meaning they exist outside the VersionedSchema enum, is it safe to keep them outside of the VersionedSchema enum and use a migration plan for simple migrations. Moving the models within the VersionedSchema enum I believe would change the identity of the models and result in data being lost, although correct me if I'm wrong in that statement. The need presently is just to add another variable to the model and then set that variable within the init function: var updateId = UUID() The app is presently in TestFlight although I'd like to preserve data for users that are currently using the app. The data within SwiftData is synchronized with CloudKit and so I'd also like to avoid any impact to synchronization. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

I am developing a DriverKit driver with the goal of sending vendor-specific commands to a USB storage device. I have successfully created the DriverKit driver, and when I connect the USB storage device, it appears correctly in IORegistryExplorer. My driver class inherits from IOUserSCSIPeripheralDeviceType00 in the SCSIPeripheralsDriverKit framework. I also created a UserClient class that inherits from IOUserClient, and from its ExternalMethod I tried sending an INQUIRY command as a basic test to confirm that command transmission works. However, the device returns an ILLEGAL REQUEST (Sense Key 0x5 / ASC 0x20). Could someone advise what I might be doing wrong? Below are the logs output from the driver: 2025-11-14 21:00:43.573730+0900 0x26e9 Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: (SampleDriverKitApp.SampleDriverKitDriver.dext) [DEBUG] Driver - NewUserClient() - Finished. 2025-11-14 21:00:43.573733+0900 0x26e9 Default 0x0 0 0 kernel: (SampleDriverKitApp.SampleDriverKitDriver.dext) [DEBUG] UserClient - Start()

I'm using the SwiftUI Photos Picker to select videos from the users Photos library and then opening the video using the PhotosPickerItem. I'm looking for a way to allow the user to open the same video on their other devices as the app uses SwiftData and CloudKit to provide access to a recently watched list of videos. The URL from the PhotosPickerItem appears to be device specific and so I was looking to see if I can use the itemIdentifier and then the init that takes the itemIdentifier to create the PhotosPickerItem on the other devices. The itemIdentifier however is always nil and so wouldn't be able to be used in this way. Is there an alternative approach whereby the users can open a video using a PhotosPickerItem and that item would be viewable on their other devices with an item identifier or a URL that is device agnostic. This approach should also not involve copying the video into other storage as it would simply expand the use of the users iCloud storage, providing a less than ideal user exper

I just updated to macOS 26.1. I have a pure AppKit app (I guess that's not possible anymore but as close to a pure AppKit app as you can get). I use NSButton with the glass bezel style and SF symbol images. It looks like the minor OS update brought layout changes because now some of these buttons are scaling the symbol image much larger than was being done on macOS 26. The image can sometimes draw outside the glass 'bezel'. It looks like using the 'info' symbol in a button results in much larger image scaling than it did on the previous Tahoe for some SF Symbols. With the glass bezel style and a SF Symbol image how am I supposed to consistently make the button look good? With certain symbols I have to use imageScaling NSImageScaleProportionallyUpOrDown and on others I have to use NSImageScaleProportionallyDown. If I'm using a system image shouldn't it just do the right thing? Is trial and error the only way to tell? That's what I was doing before but it seems that the minor 26.1 update changed things.

A few months ago I tested App Clips with my app, but I don't plan to add them for now. The problem is that now I can't select a build in App Store Connect that does not contain an App Clip, and I receive the following error: An error has occurred. Try again later. I've inspected the HTTP response to get more information about the error, and I got this: { errors : [ { id : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, status : 409, code : ENTITY_ERROR.RELATIONSHIP.UNKNOWN, title : The provided entity includes an unknown relationship, detail : 'appClipDefaultExperiences' is not a relationship on the resource 'appStoreVersions', source : { pointer : /data/relationships/appClipDefaultExperiences } } ] } Does anybody know how to completely disable App Clips for one app without having to generate a new identifier? Thank you so much and have a great day/night! Aniol.

Hi there! I'm making an app that stores data for the user's profile in SwiftData. I was originally going to use UserDefaults but I thought SwiftData could save Images natively but this is not true so I really could switch back to UserDefaults and save images as Data but I'd like to try to get this to work first. So essentially I have textfields and I save the values of them through a class allProfileData. Here's the code for that: import SwiftData import SwiftUI @Model class allProfileData { var profileImageData: Data? var email: String var bio: String var username: String var profileImage: Image { if let data = profileImageData, let uiImage = UIImage(data: data) { return Image(uiImage: uiImage) } else { return Image(DefaultProfile) } } init(email:String, profileImageData: Data?, bio: String, username:String) { self.profileImageData = profileImageData self.email = email self.bio = bio self.username = username } } To save this I create a new class (I think, I'm new) and save it throu

Is there a way to prevent or handle our application's crash if a third-party library makes a bad memory access? Basically, I want to know if using a buggy library (that causes bad memory access) will automatically make our application inherit those crashes, leading to our app crashing as well. If there is a way to prevent the crash, what methods can be used to do so? Thread 13: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x3a7d300)
