Subject: Request to maintain the Status Bar Breadcrumb visibility while Dynamic Island is active Hi, I am developing an app using ActivityKit and Dynamic Island. I've noticed a significant UX regression regarding the system status bar behavior. Current Behavior: When a Live Activity is active in the Dynamic Island (specifically in the compactLeading and compactTrailing presentation), the system automatically hides the Back to [Previous App] breadcrumb button (the small arrow and app name) in the top-left corner of the status bar. This breadcrumb only reappears when the Live Activity switches to the minimal presentation or is dismissed. The Issue: This behavior makes multitasking cumbersome for users. For example, if a user navigates from Safari to my app and then locks the screen or goes to Home, they expect the Back to Safari button to remain accessible. However, because my app's Live Activity is running in the Dynamic Island, the OS removes this navigation shortcut, forcing users to use the app switcher ins

New developer here. Does removing your app from review(to change the build or any other reason), and resubmitting it, reset you to the back of the line? I‘ve done this multiple times, and I have users asking me when the updates are coming.

Hello everyone, We are migrating a KEXT storage driver to DriverKit. In our KEXT, we use a one LUN = one Target model and successfully create multiple targets in a loop during initialization. We are now trying to replicate this architecture in our DEXT. The issue is that only Target 0 is fully probed and mounted. For Target 1, the lifecycle silently stops after the first TEST UNIT READY command is successfully acknowledged. The macOS SCSI layer never sends any subsequent probe commands (like INQUIRY) to this target. The failure sequence for Target 1, observed from our logs (regardless of whether Target 0 is created), is as follows: AsyncCreateTargetForID(1) -> UserInitializeTargetForID(1) (Succeeds) UserProcessParallelTask(Target: 1, Opcode: TUR) (Succeeds) The DEXT correctly acknowledges the TUR command for Target 1 by returning kSCSITaskStatus_CHECK_CONDITION with UNIT ATTENTION in the Sense Data (Succeeds) <-- Breakpoint --> UserProcessParallelTask(Target: 1, Opcode: INQUIRY) (Never happens) Throu

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.

Since Dec 18th, my Xcode Cloud builds (for multiple apps) have been failing with this error: Command line name app-store is deprecated. Use app-store-connect instead. I haven't made any changes to my system, signing, etc, and two separate apps started failing at the same time. No matter what I change on my Workflows (environment, new workflow from scratch, etc), nothing seems to fix it, which leads me to believe this is a bug with Xcode Cloud itself. I've logged FB21456291 already, but just wanted to post here to see if I'm missing something.

Hello everyone, few days back I posted about how apple rejected my build and now after 3 days, they replied back in a very unclear, and I am not being able to understand what they really mean by that. Context :- In my app, when the user clicked on export button, it should show the export options, however, if the user is not on a lifetime plan, it should open the premium popup / modal to allow them to purchase. Now, this modal loades project based on storekit IN app purchases I added, and locally I tested using the `.storekit` file and everything worked fine. However, before archieveing the build for app store connect, I remove the local file form edit scema, and I thought it should load automatically based on the IAP, because I added the IAP to the app build in the console as well. But now, apple responded with this after 3 days :- Issue Description The app exhibited one or more bugs that would negatively impact App Store users. Bug description: Export button brings up an empty shee

Hi everyone, 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 refuse, you're provi

Hi everyone, I am seeking urgent advice or attention from the App Review team regarding a Pending Termination Notice I received for Section 3.2(f). The Situation: I recently acquired a portfolio of apps from another developer to start my business on the App Store. Three months after the transfer, my account was flagged for removal because one of these acquired apps repeatedly violated guidelines to evade the review process. The Problem: I am being punished for the previous owner's actions. I have never submitted a new build, metadata update, or review request for this specific app since acquiring it. The Timeline (Proof of Innocence): August 4, 2025: Last update submitted by the Previous Owner. September 6, 2025: I signed the Purchase Agreement to start my business. September 9, 2025: App Transferred to my account. December 11, 2025: Termination Notice received. As the timeline proves, the alleged evasion attempts via submissions occurred before I even owned the app. Regarding Unresolved Issues: I am

I built this very simple example to demonstrate the issue im facing on iOS 26 when trying to use custom ToolbarItem element for .largeTitle. Code: struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Screen() .navigationTitle(First) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .largeTitle) { Text(First) .font(.largeTitle) .border(Color.black) } } .navigationDestination(for: Int.self) { integer in DestinationScreen(integer: integer) } } } } struct Screen: View { var body: some View { List { ForEach(1..<50) { index in NavigationLink(value: index) { Text(index.description) .font(.largeTitle) } } } } } struct DestinationScreen: View { let integer: Int var body: some View { HStack { Text(integer.description) .font(.largeTitle) Spacer() } .padding() .navigationTitle(integer.description) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .largeTitle) { Text(integer.description) .font(.largeTitle) .border(Color.black) } } } } As shown on the gif, when navigating between pages, titles are going to overlap for a short while.

Hi, I am using xCode26.x. But my Metal4 classes are not compiling. I downloaded the sample code from Apple's website - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/Metal/processing-a-texture-in-a-compute-function. For example, I am getting errors like Cannot find protocol declaration for 'MTL4CommandQueue'; I have hit a deadline. Any recommendations are very welcome. I have downloaded the Metal Tool chain. When I run the following commands on the terminal - xcodebuild -showComponent metalToolchain ; xcrun -f metal ; xcrun metal --version I get the following response - Asset Path: /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_MetalToolchain/86fbaf7b114a899754307896c0bfd52ffbf4fded.asset/AssetData Build Version: 17A321 Status: installed Toolchain Identifier: com.apple.dt.toolchain.Metal.32023 Toolchain Search Path: /Users/private/Library/Developer/DVTDownloads/MetalToolchain/mounts/86fbaf7b114a899754307896c0bfd52ffbf4fded /Users/private/Library/Developer/DVTDownloads/MetalToolchain/mounts/86fbaf7b114a899
