Reply to Random global network outage triggered by NEFilterDataProvider extension – only reboot helps, reinstall doesn't
@DTS Engineer But when I disable the content filter, the process does not stop. When I restart the content filter, it is still the original process instance. When I manually kill the original process, or even reload the new system extension through the wrapper app, the process ID definitely changes, but the issue persists. The only solution I have found so far is to restart the system.

SFAuthorizationPluginView
I’ve developed an authorization plug-in with a mechanism that runs an SFAuthorizationPluginView subclass and I’m facing a couple issues: - Glitch after successful login After setting kAuthorizationResultAllow in the context the user is successfully logged in and brought to the desktop but the login controls remain onscreen for a few seconds after login is complete, resulting in them being visible at the same time as the dock, menu bar and desktop.
 I’ve also tried what’s mentioned here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/780212 but without any luck. It’s also worth mentioning that the deinit() in my SFAuthorizationPluginView subclass never gets called when the plugin it’s loaded at the login stage but it does get called the plugin is used to re-authenticate the user after they locked their screen. - update() doesn't trigger the plugin to call view(for:) I’m trying to update the UI elements out of my control (like buttons and user avatar images) in order to have them placed at the proper position on the

SecureToken Generation for AutoAdmin Created via Automated Device Enrollment
Hi Apple Community, We are using Automted Device Enrollment to Enroll macOS Devices and we used to Create AutoAdmin, PrimaryAccount using the Command Account Configuration . As a Part of Primary Account Creation while testing we see that BootStrap Token is Escrowed to MDM, and SecureToken is Created to Primary Account. The Primary Account user will enable FileVault as part of our process. As Tested internally, we seen that SecureToken is escrowed to AutoAdmin only when BootStrapToken is escrowed to MDM By device and AutoAdmin logs in then. That too After FileVault Unlock Since we Sendout the Laptop to users to setup themselves there are no chances of AutoAdmin Login to occur. And it defeats the purpose of having the AutoAdmin Account in emergency situation to login into it from Login Window. Can someone confirm if this behavior is expected and what are the expectation and recommendations from Apple on when to use AutoAdmin Account. Is there any other ways to use AutoAdmin directly from LoginWindow Be

Reply to Need MetricKit Implementation details for MacOS background Application, mainly for
Thanks for looking into this. Here is a complete summary of our setup and what we have confirmed so far. App configuration: macOS app distributed via Developer ID (PKG installer) — not the Mac App Store Host app runs as a menu bar agent (LSUIElement = YES in Info.plist) NSApplicationActivationPolicy = .accessory The app runs continuously as a login item — it is always alive Network Extension is a System Extension (NEAppProxyProvider), always running alongside the host app What we have implemented: MXMetricManager.shared().addSubscriber(self) is called in applicationDidFinishLaunching in the host app — as early as possible A separate MXMetricManagerSubscriber is registered inside the Network Extension process at tunnel start Both didReceiveMetricPayloads: and didReceiveDiagnosticPayloads: are implemented On startup we also drain pastPayloads and pastDiagnosticPayloads to catch anything queued while the process was not running The subscriber object is kept alive for the full lifetime of both processes

Reply to App Review stuck for weeks on individual account, expedite requests ignored, multiple apps affected
I am an individual developer. I submitted my first app for review on March 14, 2026. It remained without a meaningful response until March 31, 2026. During this time, I sent three expedite review requests, but none of them helped. At the same time, I submitted my second app on March 22, 2026. I also requested an expedite review for that app, but it is still in Waiting for Review as well. Because nothing moved, I withdrew the previous submission and uploaded a third build for the same app. However, the app is still stuck in review flow. I am afraid you have done everything that one should not have done. You flood them with support and expedite request tickets. Yesterday, I read a topic where one claimed that he had sent about 20 support tickets to the company. You flood them with these tickets. I opened a support ticket several weeks ago after two of my apps were ready to distribute but were automatically removed from the store for no reason. I received a reply some two weeks ago whe

Request for Official Draggable FCPXML Structure Specification for Workflow Extensions – Needed for Subtitle/Caption Generation Tools
Hi Apple Developer Forums and Final Cut Pro team, I am developing a Final Cut Pro Workflow Extension focused on speech-to-text / subtitle recognition and generation. The extension runs inside Final Cut Pro, analyzes clips, generates accurate subtitles (often hundreds of individual elements), and allows users to drag the generated subtitles directly back into the FCP timeline as a clean, editable Compound Clip or Storyline. We are implementing this drag-and-drop functionality using the official pasteboard mechanism (com.apple.finalcutpro.xml and versioned types such as com.apple.finalcutpro.xml.v1-10). While the high-level documentation is helpful: Supporting Drag and Drop for Data Sent to Final Cut Pro FCPXML Reference Designing Workflow Extensions There is still no detailed public specification for the exact internal XML structure that Final Cut Pro expects for a drag operation to reliably result in a usable Compound Clip (or direct Storyline insertion), especially when dealing with large numbers of subtitle

I signed up and paid on the 25th. After no response I called apple tech support. 2 hours later. The response is they can’t help me but would push my request up the chain. I just paid a second time thinking it may be a glitch. Honestly this is unacceptable. When my app had a million users will it take three weeks to reach apple when something goes wrong?!?!

App Group container being recreated on app update, causing complete data loss
I'm experiencing an issue where the App Group shared container appears to be recreated (with a new creation date) during an app update, resulting in complete loss of locally stored data. Background My app uses UserDefaults, Realm, Core Data, and CloudKit, with all local data stored in the App Group container (FileManager.containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier:)). The app has been available since 2016 and has a stable user base. Starting last year, I began receiving occasional reports from users saying all their data in the app had disappeared. To investigate, I added diagnostic logging that detects when an existing user's data appears to have been reset — specifically by checking the App Group container's file system creation date, and the existence and values of expected files. What the diagnostics revealed When the issue occurs, I observe the following: The App Group container has a recent creation date, far newer than the user's first launch date The Core Data store file's creation date is also

App Review stuck for weeks on individual account, expedite requests ignored, multiple apps affected
Hello everyone, I am trying to understand whether this is a normal delay or if there may be an account-level review issue affecting my submissions. I am an individual developer. I submitted my first app for review on March 14, 2026. It remained without a meaningful response until March 31, 2026. During this time, I sent three expedite review requests, but none of them helped. Because nothing moved, I withdrew the previous submission and uploaded a third build for the same app. However, the app is still stuck in review flow. At the same time, I submitted my second app on March 22, 2026. I also requested an expedite review for that app, but it is still in Waiting for Review as well. So currently: • App 1 was first submitted on March 14, 2026 • Multiple expedite requests were sent • The original submission was withdrawn and a new build was submitted • App 2 was submitted on March 22, 2026 • Both apps have been heavily delayed • One is still in review flow, and the other is still Waitin

Apple Developer Program enrollment stuck in review for 10+ days — no response from support
Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program approximately 20 days ago. My enrollment has been stuck “In Review” since then with no update, no request for additional documents, and no communication from Apple. I submitted a support request 10+ days ago and have received no response. Submit another request without update.. Here is my situation: • Enrollment status: In Review • Support case submitted: ~10+ days ago, no reply • Country: Canada I have verified that: • Two-factor authentication is enabled on my Apple ID • There are no pending agreements in the developer portal • All enrollment information was submitted correctly I kindly request that someone from the Apple Developer Program enrollment team review my case and provide an update or escalation path. Thank you.

Reply to Alarm Kit - Change Alert settings after authorization request
Thanks for the post. Yes the documentation says: If a person using your app denies authorization, all attempts to schedule alarms fail. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/alarmkit/alarmmanager/requestauthorization() My question to you is, if you call func requestAuthorization() async throws -> AlarmManager.AuthorizationState when is denied, will that allow your app to request authorization again? Probably not due when the user denies a request fore authorization from the user, the system keeps that for default to avoid re-requesting the same permissions. Because the OS remembers the Deny state in the TCC database. The best approach for this in my opinion is to request an enhancement request to a reset of that privacy permissions without deleting the app from configuration. Hope this helps Albert

Reply to Can a third-party DriverKit HID dext seize raw HID reports from an external mouse via a top case–related path?
First off, as a general note, I've done my best to answer your questions below, but what I'd actually like to understand is what your larger product goal actually is, independent of any particular technology (like DriverKit). My concern here is that you're focusing on DriverKit because it's one of our more visible technology layers and then asking how it can solve your problem... without ever realizing that there are other API options that would actually be a far better solution. As a concrete example of this, I regularly see questions from developers trying to write DEXTs for vendor-specific USB devices who don't realize that the RIGHT way to work with a vendor-specific USB device on macOS is the IOUSBHost framework. intercept raw HID input reports from an external mouse through any top case–related path in the HID stack. This is the first time I've heard the term top case, but from the general context, I'm going to guess that your goal is to intercept and modify the events 3rd-party HID devices are sending
