Reply to Does app launch recency affect NEPacketTunnelProvider, HotspotHelper, or NEHotspotManager functionality?
Thanks for the post. Very interesting question about that API! What do you mean for staleness check? Once a Network Extension is installed, authorized by the user, and saved to the system preferences via its respective manager, the configuration is owned by the OS. The OS will continue to invoke the extension binaries as needed, regardless of whether the main app has been force-quit or hasn't been launched in months. I’m interested on the behavior you are seeing is almost certainly caused by a secondary factors. Has the user has offload unused apps? I believe when an app is offloaded, its extension binaries are deleted along with the main app. The VPN profile or Hotspot configuration will still appear in iOS Settings, but the OS will silently fail to invoke the NEHotspotHelper or fail to connect the NEPacketTunnelProvider because the executable no longer exists. You have mentioned 90 days? If this app is being distributed to internal testers or beta users via TestFlight, the app and its extensions will comple

Reply to Submitting an app and waiting time, what is the timeline for app reviewers? And other questions
I don't know anything about your app or what you've submitted. All I can tell you is that there are some items that are required by the automated flow. The system will prevent you from submitting without them. But then there are still other items that are also required and app review will check for those and reject your app if they're missing. I would assume that screenshots are required for submission and that the system would display an error on a submission without them. But I'm not going to try that to test. And maybe you're talking about an update given the context of your first question? But generally speaking, once you submit, all you have to do is wait. But if you're concerned that your review might take a long time and ultimately end in rejection, then perhaps you have valid reasons for those concerns. Maybe be proactive. Reject the build yourself and resolve any lingering concerns. When you're 100% confident that your submission will be approved, then resubmit. It's always possible that you

Reply to Submitting an app and waiting time, what is the timeline for app reviewers? And other questions
If an app shows with this: https://imgur.com/31rdIAj (see screenshot) it means i have nothing else to do, only wait right? And it will be reviewed (my new build), despite no screenshot was added in the draft submission? Btw the draft submission shows this: https://imgur.com/kvldqvb the submit is grayed out, its because I already sent a build. So without any item , it will still be accepteds right? Thanks

App rejected asking for more info, no reply after 12 days.
Hi, A reviewer rejected my app and asked me to reply in the Resolution Center with an explanation about part of the subscription flow and to provide an additional demo account. I provided the requested information within about 30 minutes of the reviewer’s message. However, it has now been 12 days and I have not heard back from the reviewer. I also sent follow-up messages through App Store Connect and contacted Apple Support via email 5 days ago regarding this issue, but I still haven’t received a response. Is this normal in situations like this? What would be the best thing to do now — keep waiting, or submit a new build? Thank you.

Reply to Linker trying to link Metal toolchain for every object file on Catalyst
Based on the above I tried reproducing this with a test project. And lo! it’s trivial to reproduce: I started with Xcode 26.3 without the Metal Toolchain 26.3 component installed. I created a new project from the iOS > App template. In the General tab of the target editor, I removed the Mac (Designed for iPad) destination. And added the Mac (Mac Catalyst) destination. I selected My Mac (Mac Catalyst) as the run destination. I chose Product > Build; the project built without any warning. In Xcode > Settings > Components, I installed the Metal Toolchain 26.3 component. I chose Product > Clean. And then Product > Build. I now see a build warning: ld: warning: search path '/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/mnt/com.apple.MobileAsset.MetalToolchain-v17.3.7003.10.hJke6J/Metal.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/maccatalyst' not found Given the above, I can only conclude that this is a bug.

Linker trying to link Metal toolchain for every object file on Catalyst
When building our project for Mac Catalyst with Xcode 26.2, we get this warning almost a hundred times, once for every object file: directory not found for option '-L/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/mnt/com.apple.MobileAsset.MetalToolchain-v17.3.48.0.UZtKea/Metal.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/maccatalyst' Somehow, every Link .o build step got the following parameter, regardless if the target contained Metal files or not: -L/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/mnt/com.apple.MobileAsset.MetalToolchain-v17.3.48.0.UZtKea/Metal.xctoolchain/usr/lib/swift/maccatalyst The toolchain is mounted at this point, but the directory usr/lib/swift/maccatalyst doesn't exist. When building the project for iOS, the option doesn't exist and the warning is not shown. We already check the build settings, but we couldn't find a reason why the linker is trying to link against the toolchain here. Even for targets that do contain Metal files, we get the following linker warning: search path '/var/run

Reply to iOS 26 Network Framework AWDL not working
[quote='878914022, captadoh, /thread/808917?answerId=878914022#878914022, /profile/captadoh'] Could me passing a closure that throws to NetworkListener.run(_:) be the cause of my issues? [/quote] That’s unlikely. I mentioned it purely because it’s one of the various random issues I’ve bumped into during this process. But if you’re worried about this, I recommend that you make your closure non-throwing like so: listener.run { do { … your code here … } catch { … log the error … } } Sadly, I’ve still not made relevant progress on your main issue. I think I need to just bite the bullet and create a minimal test project, rather than try to build something ‘correct’.

Reply to libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib missing in XCode 26.3
Cool. I consider this to be a problem with Xcode’s build system, but it’s an understandable one. Xcode knows that your tool depends on this library — because it adds an import of it — but, being a command-line tool, it doesn’t have anywhere to embed the library. It should embed it in the container app, but it’s clearly not doing that. I think it’s worth filing a bug against Xcode about that. And if you do, please post your bug number, just for the record. As to a workaround, there’s a couple of ways to approach that. The first is the obvious one we’ve been discussing here: Add a dummy use of Subprocess within your app. Xcode will embed libswiftCompatibilitySpan.dylib, because it knows that your app needs it, and your tool can pick it up from there The other option is to embed the library explicitly. This is complicated by the fact that the library exists within a toolchain, so it’s not clear how to reference it [1]. For the moment I recommend that you go with the first option. I’m going to talk to so

macOS App Distributed via ZIP Cannot Open — Possible Code Signing / Notarization Issue
My team is distributing a cross-platform app outside the Mac App Store via ZIP file. The app works perfectly on Windows, but on macOS, while the ZIP downloads and extracts without issue, the app refuses to open. Users see either the app appear in the dock then immediately disappear or a Gatekeeper prompt saying the developer cannot be verified. We suspect the root cause is related to code signing and/or notarization, but we're not entirely sure where the breakdown is occurring. We have a few questions as we work through this. For ZIP-based distribution outside the Mac App Store, is both a Developer ID certificate and Apple notarization required on current macOS versions? We've also seen references to using ditto instead of Finder's built-in Compress option when packaging the ZIP. Is that necessary to properly preserve the app bundle structure and extended attributes? Any guidance on where this process might be going wrong would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

The application could not be launched because the Developer App Certificate is not trusted. Same here. Can't sign mobile app builds from xCode.
