Reply to Authorization Credentials Caching Implications
Regarding the big picture issue here, I believe that this is working as designed [1]. If you’d like to see that change, my advice is that you file a bug report explaining your concern.. Please post your bug number, just for the record. [quote='793415021, ss_couto, /thread/793415, /profile/ss_couto'] What exactly is the authorization session mentioned in /System/Library/Security/authorization.plist? [/quote] This refers to the security session, which is roughly equivalent to the login session.

Reply to How can I get the system to use my FSModule for probing?
As a workaround, it does seem that if I log in to a GUI session as the root user (https://support.apple.com/en-us/102367) and enable my FSKit module as the root user in System Settings, then automount works (even from a regular user). Seems like some kind of “modules enabled as the logged in user” vs “modules enabled as the root user” discrepancy. Yeah, there are a bunch of places in the system where logging in as root will change the normal system behavior. There's a common Unix pattern macOS inherits, which is that the root is both a: Standard user account (which is why you can log in). The user ID the system uses as the owner ID for stuff it doesn't want some other specific user to own. Going back to here: enable my FSKit module as the root user in System Settings, then automount works (even from a regular user). What's going here is that there's a split between the system's extensions (which work) and the user's extensions (which should work, but don't). Strictly speaking, logging in as root shou

Missing com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification Entitlement in Provisioning Profile
Hello Everyone, I am currently building an app using React Native with Swift bridging, integrating VoIP functionality using Twilio, PushKit, and CallKit. I am encountering the following issue during development: The current provisioning profile doesn't include the com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification entitlement. What I’ve Done So Far: VoIP Certificate: I have created a valid VoIP Services certificate in the Apple Developer portal. Bundle Identifier and Provisioning Profile: A new Bundle ID was created specifically for this app. I created a provisioning profile for this Bundle ID and downloaded it for use in Xcode. Xcode Capabilities Push Notifications: Enabled Background Modes: Voice over IP: Enabled, Remote notifications: Enabled Entitlements File I have an entitlements file named VoiceCallDemoProjectRelease.entitlements with the following content: aps-environment development com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification This entitlements file is properly linked in the project’s build settings.

Reply to The installer package includes files that are only readable by the root user
Sorry for the late answer, this ... Life™ thing came in between... I have a couple of new diagnostic tests for you. The first is a simplification of my original test: In step 2... Did that, result is: -rw-r----- 1 martin staff 2200 16 Jul 21:52 CodeResources Assuming it does, I have the new test that I actually want you to run. Create a new user account in System Settings > Users & Groups, switch to that account Log out of your main account... Did that too, result is this time different! The CodeResources FOLDER has 755, but the Coderesources FILE inside that folder has this, like the above test. So the folder's rights now are fine, file still wrong. :) -rw-r----- 1 martin staff 2200 16 Jul 21:52 CodeResources Best Martin

Reply to Seeking Confirmation on Picture-in-Picture Support for Audio Calls
Hi Kevin, what I’m trying to do is use Picture-in-Picture to display relevant call information to the user—such as the current call status and connection quality—when the app goes into the background. My read of that is that it seems like something that would be much better handled through Live Activities and/or some other mechanism like the notification system. Notably: Live Activities work in broader contexts, like on the lock screen. Live Activities can be initiated from the background, while starting PiP requires your app to be in the foreground. Using PiP for this is going to disrupt whatever other PiP activity the user was doing. Basically, I think using PiP for something like this is going to require significantly more work than LiveActivities and will only work in a much narrower context. The purpose is to keep the user informed during an ongoing call. Just to clarify something, you are planning to use CallKit, LiveCommunicationKit, or the PushToTalk framework, correct? My concern here is tha

Information about legacy (new app)
Hello I developed an app for my cousin (I wrote all the code myself), but she’ll be the one managing it once it’s published. She’ll take care of the content, updates, and anything admin-related. Right now, the app uses my Firebase account and my Apple Developer account (App Store Connect), which I set up at the start of the project. I’m wondering: • Am I at risk legally or financially if the accounts stay under my name, even though I won’t be involved in the app after release? • Is it possible to migrate the project to her email, meaning transfer Firebase and the Apple Developer account to her own account, so that everything is properly under her control? Thanks in advance for any insights or experiences

Reply to Information about legacy (new app)
I’m not going to wade in on your first question [1]. However, I can help with part of your second question: [quote='793241021, Antdel1998, /thread/793241, /profile/Antdel1998'] Is it possible to migrate the project to her email, meaning transfer Firebase and the Apple Developer account to her own account, so that everything is properly under her control? [/quote] I don’t know anything about third-party tools, so I’m going to focus on the Apple side of this. It’s is possible to transfer an app between accounts. For information about that, see App Store Connect Help > Transfer an app > Overview of app transfer. However, if the app is not yet published then there may be easier options: If the app isn’t known to App Store Connect then you can delete the App ID from your account and re-create it the other account. See Developer Account Help > Identifiers > Delete an App ID. If not, you can change the app’s bundle ID, which will give it a new App ID,

Reply to FRONTBOARD crash App killed while running in the background.
I don't see details in the crash report (such as a Termination Description) that could guide me to address the issue. So I would appreciate it if you can give me some insight on what could be causing this. The key detail here is: Termination Reason: FRONTBOARD 0xbaadca11 Which means: 0xbaadca11 (3131951633) — pronounced bad call The operating system terminated the app for failing to report a CallKit call in response to a PushKit notification. I assume that since the app was awakened by a VoIP push, those background notifications won't count towards the iOS restriction of not getting too many background pushes: Correct. There isn't any restriction or limitation on the number of VoIP pushes that can be sent to an app and, indeed, the main reason the CallKit reporting requirements were introduced is that VoIP pushes were being widely abused and we didn't want to artificially limit push volume. However... Those pushes are delivered within 30 seconds after the call starts. ...I think using PushKit for things like

Bug
Dear Apple Support Team, I am writing to urgently request attention and a clear resolution timeline regarding a critical issue with my Apple Developer Account, which has been ongoing since June 18, 2025. Despite acknowledging that the issue is caused by a backend bug related to the Developer Program contract, and after ticket number 102625528685 was opened, there has been no meaningful progress or timeline provided. My account is currently restricted in a way that prevents me from: Submitting new apps Sending apps for review or updates Creating or managing subscriptions Fully using App Store Connect features For nearly a month now, I have only received generic replies saying that “engineering is investigating.” However, there have been no updates, no estimated timelines, and no temporary solutions offered. This issue is seriously impacting my work and business operations. I am kindly requesting that a senior support representative or engineer directly review this case and provide: A clear ex

Help needed: unclear rejections & stalled review
Hello App Review Team, We submitted our long-awaited app for review on July 8 and are starting to feel a bit anxious, as we haven’t heard back in several days despite submitting all requested changes and an updated build. To be fully transparent, the review process so far has been somewhat confusing, and we’d really appreciate your guidance: First Rejection: We were told the demo login credentials were missing and that our developer account wasn’t linked to our company domain. However, the demo credentials were included in the Notes section, and the email associated with our developer account had already been updated to reflect our company domain before submission. Second Rejection: The reviewer appeared to misunderstand the purpose of a simple in-app game, despite the fact that the description was clearly shown in the screenshot they shared. We’ve tested this feature extensively with real users, and no one has encountered similar confusion. Third Rejection: The app reportedly failed to load

Reply to PushKit with CallKit - CallKit not shown when app is in background or terminated
I am developing VOIP feature using PushKit and CallKit but CallKit is not showing when app in background or terminate state, now in foreground state I can call reportNewIncomingCall from pushRegistry-didReceiveIncomingPushWith and it's working as expected but the problem is in background or terminate state it's not So, there are a few things that can happen here: If you've just gotten this working, it's pretty common that you failed the call report requirement enough times that the system stopped delivering new pushes. To reset that count, delete the app completely, turn the device off, turn it back on, then reinstall. Note that while the full restart is not specifically required, I recommend doing it any time you need to be SURE things have reset properly. Your app should include the audio background category as well as voip. There are weird entanglements between CallKit and the audio system that make CallKit work even without audio, however, that behavior isn't really intentional and I've seen weird problem

Struggling with Unlisted App Distribution – Repeated Rejections from App Review
Hey fellow developers, I’ve been trying to get my organization’s app approved for Unlisted App Distribution, but Apple keeps rejecting it with the same response. Hoping to get some insights from those who have successfully navigated this process! Background: Our app is meant for internal staff, external partners, and vendors. Most users use personal (unmanaged) devices, so Apple Business Manager (ABM) is not an option for us. We don’t have an ABM or ASM Organization ID, and requiring users to enroll in ABM isn’t feasible. We initially applied for public distribution with an unlisted request, but Apple keeps rejecting it. Apple’s Rejection Message: We found in our review that your app is intended to be used by a specific business or organization, including partners, clients, or employees, but you've selected public distribution in App Store Connect. Since the App Store is intended for apps with a public audience, we recommend reviewing other distribution options available through your Apple Developer Program Account
