AVB Support for the AVnu MILAN Conventions
The AVB AVnu MILAN Convention has a groweing Population. Many big companies (Cisco, Meyer Sound, d&b Audio, l‘acoustics, Presonus, digico etc.) implements the AVB AVnu Milan Standards. Is there a plan on the Apple side to also implement AVnu Milan on top of the AVB Protocol? The advantage for Apple Sound would be a great Integration in the professionell Audio market and a more stable intergration on top of the AVB protocol. The atdecc work, but Not that stable.

Copying of app targets and corresponding files from older Xcode projects to a current one
Hi, so here's my situation: I am currently building an app of which I want to have an Apple Watch standalone version / companion (idk yet, also doesn't matter). For it to be compatible with basically every Watch except for the original (Series 0) I want support for down to watchOS 6, as many models ended there. I also don't need the newest features for basic functionality and I can still add more for newer versions while keeping the basic functionality for watchOS 6, so that is not a concern, I'd rather have the compatibility. However, watchOS 6 is the last version to require the Storyboard architecture with an app bundle and extension target. I did some research and found out that you can create that and set the development target to 6.0 while also having a SwiftUI target with a development target of 7.0. That would have the benefit of being able to use SwiftUI for modern features to give a nice experience while building a basic but functional version for 6.0 in Storyboard architecture. And it would figure o

Incorrect menu consistency warnings logged in Tahoe for NSStatusItem, performance issues related?
Is anyone else getting new warning about menu items with submenus when running on Tahoe? I'm getting big performance problems using my menu as well as seeing these messages and I'm wondering if there's a connection. My app is faceless with a NSStatusItem with an NSMenu. Specifically it's my own subclass of NSMenu where I have a lot of code to manage the menu's dynamic behavior. This code is directly in the menu subclass instead of in a controller because the app I forked had it this way, a little wacky but I don't see it being a problem. A nib defines the contents of the menu, and it's instantiated manually with code like: var nibObjects: NSArray? = [] guard let nib = NSNib(nibNamed: AppMenu, bundle: nil) else { ... } guard nib.instantiate(withOwner: owner, topLevelObjects: &nibObjects) else { ... } guard let menu = nibObjects?.compactMap({ $0 as? Self }).first else { ... } Within that nib.instantiate call I see a warning logged that seems new to Tahoe, before the menu's awakeFromNib is called, t

Pending Termination Notice
Hello Everyone! I recently got a termination notice. I've already sent an appeal 20 days back, I did get the response saying they'll not change the decision which is really a big problem! I've been developing apps and have been supporting my family for quite some time. But because of a small-mistake, I lost my entire account (Although I've made changes and re-submitted, but the app which got the removal isn't going for review) Anyone can you please help? I never got any kind of warning from Apple and I understood that since I'm using a commercial API, I could use it in my title, but it triggered removal of my entire account. Here's the notice I got: Upon further review of the activity associated with your Apple Developer Program membership, it's been determined that your membership has been used for dishonest or fraudulent activity, in violation of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement and the Developer Code of Conduct (App Review Guideline 5.6). Given the severity of the identified issues, y

Reply to CallKit requestTransaction error code 2
Dear Apple, with regards to the above - can you please shed light on the connection between: CXProvider delegate method providerDidReset This is called when the XPC connection between CXProvider and callservicesd is interrupted. invalidate() method in CXProvider Among other things, this breaks the XPC connection between CXProvider and callservicesd. If you call invalidate(), then the delegate will receive providerDidReset. Is it 100% always true? When it comes to software engineering, I am violently allergic to the word always. The system is big, complicated, and constantly evolving, which means there's a pretty big difference between: This is what the system normally does VS The system behaves this way under all circumstances today, in previous versions, and in all future versions Yes, I suspect providerDidReset generally does get called when you invalidate, both now and in the past. That's the strongest promise I'll make. My current Xcode has a line like: The provider must be invalidated b

Kevin and ssmith_c for your assistance. I fortunately managed to file in the bug: FB20677188 Thank you! Looking over the bug, there was one point I wanted to comment on: For the Matter Media Device Basic Video Player Type Apple Home does support the commissioning (adding the device to the list of accessories displayed in Home App), but no controls are displayed. Not even the mandatory required controls: ... This type of Matter Device, which is part of the standard, should at least expose the mandatory controls and commands. The idea that Apple (and general ecosystem vendors more broadly) should try and support the full range of the Matter specification is, IMHO, one of those ideas which sounds reasonable on the surface but is, in fact, a very bad idea. First off, quoting myself: The Matter specification itself is sufficiently broad and complex that, in practice, I'm not sure it will ever really be possible to create a high-quality controller app* that actually supports EVERY possible accessory configuration i

Reply to Best Practices for Binary Data (“Allows External Storage”) in Core Data with CloudKit Sync
Thanks so much, @tbartelmess1—this is super helpful, and really appreciated a bit more context from our app: App context (what we store) The blobs we persist will be user-generated cruise photos, we would downsize those to more manageable size as iphone format photos can be quite big, but they would still be in the 1-3 mb after downsizing Realistic volume per active user: a few hundred images/year; heavy users could reach low thousands over time. Decision: use Core Data Binary Data + “Allows External Storage” We’ll keep originals as Binary Data (Allows External Storage) so Core Data handles externalization transparently, my philosophy has always been to offload as much work to the system services as possible. We’ll keep thumbnails as well inline in coredata (let coredata decide but likely will be inline (blob)). CloudKit mirroring We’ll rely on NSPersistentCloudKitContainer mirroring; we understand CloudKit decides when an attribute becomes a CKAsset independently of Core Data’s externalization thres

Reply to Is there a tech note for menuBuilder?
Adding FBs as I find them. FB20652137 Replace button wraps unfortunately. Going through all the built in functions menu by menu (Adding print was easy enough.) Added Find and Replace to my text views in storyboard, which automagically enabled the menu item and produced this view. I don't even have Text size that big in my iPad Air 13-inch sim. Also, in trying to see if you could replicate it with built in apps I notice that the input view I get is unlike the snazzy Pages built in keyboard. I wonder if there is a way I can adopt the Pages UX? I mean, I don’t mind the glass buttons but would like to choose the color for done (blue just doesn’t go with our look and feel). Or let me change the blue which really doesn't go with our Color scheme.

Reply to *.ips CrashReport not always available when dext crashes
While developing our driver, we've noticed that the *.ips report that contains the stack trace of the crash is not always generated. To be clear, you're talking about DEXT level users space crashes, NOT kernel panics? I've assumed below that you're dealing with standard crashes, but please let me know if I've misunderstood. I'm wondering why this report may not get generated. So, the first step here is to figure out what actually happened, which means digging through the console log. In general, there are multiple components tracking (notably, launchd) any system component (including DEXTs) and they'll be notified of your process's death, including how/why it died. If you're on development hardware then there are some tips in Your Friend the System Log that can be useful for quickly getting at this sort of data; however, I'd generally trigger a sysdiagnose and use that console archive. The big advantage of the sysdiagnose is that you capture everything, which means you're not going to miss data if so

Reply to Is It Still Possible for Indie iOS Apps to Thrive in 2025?
Once, the App Store empowered indie creators - small teams could launch great apps Nothing has changed in that respect. There are more opportunities now for people to build low-quality apps by using low-quality, cross-platform frameworks and tools. But people are still able to launch great apps with discipline, intelligence, and hard work. and find users easily This part has changed. There are lots more apps to choose from, a radically different marketplace, and different user expectations. It now takes more work and more time to find users. But in 2025, that era feels long gone, with algorithms, big players, and pay-to-win discoverability reshaping everything. Many things have changed over the past 17 years. Is there still a real chance for indie iOS developers today, or has Apple’s evolving ecosystem made independent success nearly impossible? Many people are having success. They're just focused on their products and providing a great experience for their customers. Posting content on social media

in OS26, X Large circle uses small circle size for the maximum image sizes
Create a static widget kit based widget for watchKit. Use swiftUI and an image. IE on 42mm you can import a 141x141 image at 2x. Import a 141x141 image in the widget and load it in swiftUI. In watchOS 11.x simulator the image will allow up to the size for X Large circles, and on os26, it will not load and complain the image is too large and report the area for the smaller circle, IE 89x89 @ 2x for 41mm Also submitted a feedback ticket FB20506200 This is a big issue b/c the size difference for X large circles v the smaller circles is really large. To get existing images to load I am having to resize them down 75-80% on OS26 in the X Large complication.

How Are Indie iOS Developers Coping with ASO Challenges in 2025?
ASO often feels like a constant uphill battle for indie iOS devs - the rules keep shifting, results are unpredictable, and competing with big-budget apps can be discouraging. Has anyone here actually figured out what truly works for indie apps, or is ASO just a never-ending grind we all face?

Reply to Where can I manually get device token for APNs online tool?
You can't. Tokens are created per app per device when the app calls registerForRemoteNotifications() I don't understand why writing a program to do so is a big deal, as you say you already have an app to send notifications to. So, you need to implement push notifications in your app as shown in the sample project.

Apple has updated its App Store Optimization (ASO) features.
Hey everyone, I’ve noticed a big drop in my keyword rankings lately, and it seems linked to Apple’s recent ASO update that’s been trending on Twitter. Has anyone figured out what changed? It looks like app titles may now have less impact on rankings.
