build disappears

Hello, I would like to ask about an Apple ID authentication behavior during in-app purchases. Our app uses a StoreKit 1 (SKPaymentQueue-based) implementation, and there are no differences in the in-app purchase logic between the TestFlight build and the App Store production build. However, we have observed that some users are prompted to enter their Apple ID password during in-app purchases. The observed behavior is as follows: On the first in-app purchase, the system prompts for the Apple ID password After the password is entered once, subsequent purchases proceed normally using Face ID (double side-button press) Even after deleting and reinstalling the app, or switching between TestFlight and App Store builds, the password prompt does not reappear if authentication has already occurred This behavior can occur even when the Apple ID already has an active auto-renewable subscription The only confirmed change on our side is: The app is now built with Xcode 26 instead of Xcode 18 Base

Hello, Apologies if this has been asked before but I have a website that takes subscriptions and payments through PayPal. It's a platform where authors can sell ebooks and anyone who purchaes an ebook, the money goes pretty much directly from the buyer's PayPal to the seller PayPal through the use of PayPal Multiparty where my platform acts as a third party that takes a fee. I'm currently building a React-Native app for my website and coming close to needing to integrate payment solutions. As far as I'm aware, Apple only allows Apple Pay payments for IAP and subscriptions? How would this work for my model? Can I integrate PayPal into Apple Pay like I do with my website? If not, what's the alternative?

(Xcode 26.2, iPhone 17 Pro) I can't seem to get hardware tag checks to work in an app launched without the special Hardware Memory Tagging diagnostics. In other words, I have been unable to reproduce the crash example at 6:40 in Apple's video Secure your app with Memory Integrity Enforcement. When I write a heap overflow or a UAF, it is picked up perfectly provided I enable the Hardware Memory Tagging feature under Scheme Diagnostics. If I instead add the Enhanced Security capability with the memory-tagging related entitlements: I'm seeing distinct memory tags being assigned in pointers returned by malloc (without the capability, this is not the case) Tag mismatches are not being caught or enforced, regardless of soft mode The behaviour is the same whether I launch from Xcode without Hardware Memory Tagging, or if I launch the app by tapping it on launchpad. In case it was related to debug builds, I also tried creating an ad hoc IPA and it didn't make any difference. I realise there's a wrinkle here

Hi, I am developing IOS(Android App) with React Native. I am very confused about cocoapods and pod and how to correctly install it on my new Macbook Pro M4. I am not using bash but I am using zsh. Note, actuallywhich pod return nothing During the preparation of my environment, it say CocoaPods is one of the dependency management system available for iOS. CocoaPods is a Ruby gem. You can install CocoaPods using the version of Ruby that ships with the latest version of macOS. the web site show two commands gem install cocoapods sudo gem install cocoapods I saw another command as well brew install cocoapods During different processes, I experienced several time the following error (Command 'pod install failed) Command pod install failed. └─ Cause: pod install --repo-update --ansi exited with non-zero code: 1 Then I am confused about cocoapods and pod. Are both he same? With my previous MacBook pro, I spend time to install cocoapod on my profile because Ruby was not the latest version on the system. But apparentl

Hello, I am currently considering developing a Full Space app that enables a shared visionOS experience with nearby users. Intended Features A Mixed Full Space app in which dozens of 3D models are placed in the space. These 3D models may play embedded animations when tapped, be programmatically moved or rotated, or be controlled via Reality Composer Pro timelines. The app also includes audio, spatial audio, videos with audio, and videos without audio, which are rendered as VideoTextures on planes and played back in the space. Some media elements play automatically, while others are triggered by user interaction. However, it is unclear whether AVPlaybackCoordinator supports shared playback across multiple types of media, such as: audio only spatial audio video without audio video with audio I am also unsure whether there are alternative or recommended approaches for synchronizing playback in this scenario. Questions Is it technically possible to implement the experience described above using visionOS? Are ther

Greetings, and Happy Holidays, I've been building an on-device AI safety layer called Newton Engine, designed to validate prompts before they reach FoundationModels (or any LLM). Wanted to share v1.3 and get feedback from the community. The Problem Current AI safety is post-training — baked into the model, probabilistic, not auditable. When Apple Intelligence ships with FoundationModels, developers will need a way to catch unsafe prompts before inference, with deterministic results they can log and explain. What Newton Does Newton validates every prompt pre-inference and returns: Phase (0/1/7/8/9) Shape classification Confidence score Full audit trace If validation fails, generation is blocked. If it passes (Phase 9), the prompt proceeds to the model. v1.3 Detection Categories (14 total) Jailbreak / prompt injection Corrosive self-negation (I hate myself) Hedged corrosive (Not saying I'm worthless, but...) Emotional dependency (You're the only one who understands) Third-person manipulation (If you re

I want that the user can watch a short clip in the App Store before the user decides to download my game in the App Store. I want to upload a clip to App Store Connect but I don't know how to do that. And I get this warning: To provide metadata for your app clip, you must first upload a build to App Store Connect that contains a clip. Is it necessary that the user can watch the clip in my game or should the video file just be included in the build even if the clip cannot be watched in my game? Is it necessary to upload the clip first to YouTube and then paste the URL in App Store Connect?

Hello, the Liquid Glass effect of iOS 26 was possible during development, but it disappeared after its release and launch. I haven't found the reason for this, could you please help me clarify

Hi all, I’m building an iOS app that uses CoreNFC to communicate with a YubiKey 5C NFC over ISO14443 / ISO7816 and send APDUs (e.g. select an applet by AID). Environment • Device: iPhone 13 Pro Max • iOS: 18.6.2 • Xcode: 26.1.1 (17B100) • API: NFCTagReaderSession(pollingOption: .iso14443) using NFCTag.iso7816 What I’m trying to do 1. Start NFCTagReaderSession(.iso14443) 2. Detect tag → connect 3. Send ISO7816 APDUs (SELECT AID, etc.) Issue A — Entitlements / signing If I add ISO7816-related NFC entitlements, Xcode fails signing with an error like: • “Provisioning profile … doesn’t match entitlements file value for com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.formats” When I inspect the generated .mobileprovision, I only see something like: • com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.formats = [NDEF, TAG, PACE] …and I do not see an ISO7816 / select-identifiers entitlement (and the Developer portal UI doesn’t appear to let me enable it). Questions: 1. Is ISO7816 access under com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.

I've made my first app and encountered an unexpected (potentially existential) issue. The Manager app is designed to tag 3rd party plugins used by a DAW, storing metadata in a local SQLite database, and move them between Active and Inactive folders. This allows management of the plugin collection - the DAW only uses what's in the Active folder. Permissions are obtained via security-scoped bookmarks on first launch. The app functions as intended: plugin bundles move correctly and the database tracks everything. No information is written to the plugins themselves. The Problem:
When moving plugins using fs.rename() , the MAS sandbox automatically adds the com.apple.quarantine extended attribute to moved files. When the DAW subsequently rebuilds its plugin cache, it interprets quarantined plugins as corrupt or potentially malicious and refuses to load them. Technical Details: Moving files with NSFileManager or Node.js fs APIs within sandbox triggers quarantine Sandboxed apps cannot call xattr -d com.apple.quarant
