iPadOS 17.7.7

I have submitted a feedback report 20723311 As this was my first time, maybe my (in)experience can be helpful. The how to use the Feedback Assistant app on a public release documentation was very confusing, specifically: On publicly released versions of iOS and iPadOS, you can enable the app by installing a beta profile. Then there is nothing about where to get this beta profile from..? So having some prior experience setting up profiles I search in Profiles and Logs page, only thing close was the AirPods Beta Software. Ok, so now I start Googling and ChatGPT-ing for how to install this beta profile with no real hits / help...all the information I can find is about using Feedback Assistant on Beta software which I don't want to install. Eventually I give up and go back to the documentation and just try typing applefeedback:// into Safari and as luck will have it, it just works... The documentation reads to me as this Beta Profile being a requirement to use the Feedback Assistant, but that doesn't se

Hello, iPadOS 26 brings significant changes to UI interaction and this sounds like a regression from iPadOS 18.x. Please install the latest non-beta version of iPadOS 26 and verify whether this is still occurring. If so please send us a bug report. Note: it's important to verify with a non-beta version as there may be subtle timing delays in beta.

Hello, This is most likely due to the analytics self-correcting after terminations were previously under-reported due to a bug. Please see the Xcode section in the iOS 26 release notes: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-26-release-notes Thanks!

This seems to have been fixed in iPadOS 26.1 Beta 2.

What are you trying to do? More specifically, why does your app need to be awake in the background? Supported USB gadgets might perform async BulkTransfer being in the background. Some of the gadgets need sync BulkTransfer (while in the background). OK. So, two points here: UIApplication.beginBackgroundTask(withName:expirationHandler:) will give you ~30s to finish whatever you need to. That isn't a lot of time, but it is enough time to warn the user (so they can bring you to the foreground) and/or shutdown your connection in a clean way. BGContinuedProcessingTask (new in iPadOS 26) gives your app an extended amount of time to continue running in the background. Exactly how long that is isn't formally defined and will depend on what the user is doing, but many minutes is a reasonable expectation. See the Finish tasks in the background from WWDC2025 for a full overview. 3rd) great thanks for OSSystemExtensionProperties, = I can delete a lot of my non-robust creativity. I didn't discover this class at a

Still unresolved with iPadOS 26.1 beta 3.

All of these issues still exist with iPadOS 26.1 beta 3.

This issue still reproduced on iPadOS 26.0.1 - anyone encountered the same issue?

Is it possible for a macOS (or iOS/iPadOS) app to communicate with a CCID-compliant reader using the CCID interface (i.e., directly sending the PC_TO_RDR_* messages) instead of using the CryptoTokenKit API? It depends on exactly what you're trying/willing to do: If you specifically want a CCID level interface, then no, we don't really have an API for that. If you're willing to send USB commands, then the IOUSBHost Framework can be used to interact directly with the device (this is the API our driver actually uses)*. Note that this might require using a codeless DEXT to prevent our implementation from claiming the device. *The framework documentation says the framework is used to Create host-mode user space drivers for USB devices, however, that's just a complicated way of saying “let apps directly send USB commands to devices. __ Kevin Elliott DTS Engineer, CoreOS/Hardware
