Reply to URL Filter Network Extension
[quote='877011022, Pushpak-Ambadkar123, /thread/815498?answerId=877011022#877011022, /profile/Pushpak-Ambadkar123'] will it work with WebKit as well … ? [/quote] Hmmmm, that depends on what you mean by “WebKit”. If you’re talking about WKWebView (WebView in SwiftUI) then I expect, like Safari, it’d get filter support because it loads web content using URLSession. If you’re talking about the WebKit open source project, that’s not something I support and thus I’ve not looked at it.

[/quote] Can you clarify what you mean by that? But, just so we’re on the same page about Network Extension’s capabilities, it supports two scenarios: Implementing a URL filter — This allows you to block pages loaded by URLSession and anything layered on top of it, including WebKit’s web views and Safar

Reply to MacOS installer appears rejected after successful notarization

Reply to Notarization Request not found after 12 hours
Lemme see if I understand you correctly: You submit a notarisation request with notarytool submit. While the request is in progress, you can see it in the notarytool history list. At some point it disappears from that list. Presumably this is when the notarisation request completes, but it’s hard to be sure about that from the outside. Once that happens, you can no longer get info about that request using notarytool info. Is that right?

Reply to notarytool returns HTTP 500 — even on store-credentials
First up, please re-test to confirm that you’re still having the problem. The notary service is quite reliable IME, and when I do see errors like this they often get fixed based on internal monitoring. If you confirm that you’re still having the problem, please file a bug about it and then post the bug number here. Finally, I often find that folks can work around issues like this by switching from app-specific password authentication to key-based authentication. So, in addition to filing that bug, you should try that switch to see if it can get you back notarising again.

Reply to WeatherKit Limits and Sharing
[quote='816507021, EdwardD20, /thread/816507, /profile/EdwardD20'] how would that be passed to WeatherKit? [/quote] I don’t think there’s any way to do that. [quote='816507021, EdwardD20, /thread/816507, /profile/EdwardD20'] The only thought I have is that they would need to compile the code on their own … [/quote] Right. Now, compiling things from scratch can be a bit of a pain, so another option would be for you to distribute an unsigned app and have folks re-sign it. However, that’s tricky because the WeatherKit service is tied to your App ID, which is in turn tied to your bundle ID. So it’s not just a case of re-signing the app. There’d have to be some process for customising the bundle ID and then re-signing.

Reply to How to modify the launchctl config to start Postfix?
I want to clarify the overall situation here. The Apple Developer Forums are primarily focused on helping developers with Apple APIs, developer tools, and so on. We’re not really set up to help folks with ‘user-level’ questions, even those from advanced users like yourself. For that, I recommend that you bounce over to Apple Support Community, run by Apple Support, and specifically the Business and Education areas. Questions like this fall into two categories: Developers who are trying to create products based on macOS’s built-in services. Users who are trying to configure those services. From a developer perspective, the presence of built-in services, in this case Postfix, is considered an implementation detail, not an API. If you want to build a product that runs a mail server, you should embed your own copy of Postfix rather than relying on the built-in one. And if you want to run that as a daemon, it will naturally have a different launchd job label. From a user perspective, it’s fine to use these built-i

You’ve structured your post like a bug report, so I want to make sure you understand the role of Apple Developer Forums in that case.

So, if you haven’t already filed a bug about this, please do that now. Once you have a bug on file, please post the bug number here, just for the record.

Reply to Is It Acceptable to Submit an iOS 26–Only App for the Swift Student Challenge?
Your submission can rely on iOS 26 features. However, that does mean that you’ll need to choose the Xcode option when submitting, because Swift Playground doesn’t currently support the iOS 26 SDK. Regarding that last point, I wanna point you at this thread, where I’ve promised to post updates if and when they occur.
