iPadOS 17.7.7

I can also confirm the same behavior on my iPad-only app. I have 2 other universal apps where the problem does not occur. I did not use the Icon Composer or change anything related to my icon, I simply created and uploaded a new build from Xcode 26.0.1 to support iPadOS 26.

I can also confirm it's probably related to iPad only apps. My app uses iPadOS only APIs so I cannot enable iPhone target. The major concerns is App Icon missing in App Store app affecting people discovering the app. My feedback is still open. Hope this bug can be resolved or there is another solution.

[/quote] No. The close button is not equivalent to the ‘force quit’ gesture. Rather, it’s roughly equivalent to a feature you’ve been living with on previous iPadOS releases, namely choosing Close from the menu brought up by the three dot button at the top of the window.

[quote='801476021, nagarajan031, /thread/801476, /profile/nagarajan031'] CryptoKit / Security Framework [/quote] Security framework is the right approach here. You can use TKTokenWatcher to learn about tokens coming and going, but to actually sign data with a digital identity on a token you need to use Security framework. This is not super complex code, but there are some traps for the unwary. And, annoyingly, those traps are subtly different on iOS and macOS.

Hi, We were planning on using DriverKit to develop a USB Driver on iOS for iPhone. Within the DriverKit website, it says ‘iOS16.0+' which led us to believe it was compatible with iPhones running iOS16.0+. Unfortunately, the API overlap between iOS and iPadOS means that our website doesn't do a very good job handling edge cases like an iPadOS-only API. However, this page describes exactly what parts of DriverKit are supported on iPadOS. However, it appears DriverKit is only available for iPads running iPadOS, and computers running macOS. Correct. DriverKit is not supported on iOS. Are there any alternatives that would allow us to create a device-specific USB driver for an iPhone running iOS? Not for general USB communication. MFi-licensed accessories can communicate with applications on iOS; however, that communication is through an MFi-licensed protocol (iAP2). General USB communication is not possible, even through the MFi program. __ Kevin Elliott DTS Engineer, CoreOS/Har

The removal of Launchpad from macOS has cost me a huge amount of wasted time. It is quite baffling why Apple's engineering team thought this was necessary. There is no scenario in which Apple's few predefined categories could possibly ever address the long tail of real world application categories and user workflows. This is a point I make in depth below. Also, I am now encountering a bug preventing me from searching for apps by name, even if I could remember the name of my 250+ native and web apps, so I have no other choice but to scroll through over 250 icons to find the app I'm looking for. I honestly do not understand what the rationale was for this change by Apple. Vital functionality that I relied on with minute-to-minute frequency was replaced with a fundamentally broken one that costs me minutes where it previously took seconds to find apps. In fact it should be obvious that predefined app categories could not possibly address real world use cases and and that forcing users into them would break more
