Hi Team, How can I share info beetween two differnt App. What king of approach should I use. Thanks in advance. In my case I whant to share a token or an string like "GM-8090"

We use File Provider Extension in our main app, and it is working fine. We always call "NSFileProviderManager.add(_:completionHandler:)" function to start the extension, and "NSFileProviderManager.disconnect(reason:options:completionHandler:)" to temporarily quit the extension with the reason which will be shown in the Finder at the top of the FP domain folder. But sometimes, when the main app calls the above functions, the following issue cases occur, and the extension does not start/stop: The completionHandler function doesn't get called (As we noticed, we waited for 2 minutes. Then, we restarted the main app.) One of the following errors returned: i) "The application cannot be used right now", ii) "Couldn't communicate with the helper application", iii) "No valid file provider found with identifier" Here, the important thing is that restarting the main app once or twice clears the issue, and the extension starts. But it is frustrating to restart the app each time we get this issue. We want to know the following things: Why and when do the above issues occur? Why do they occur only sometimes, and how does the app restart clear the issue? How do we resolve them without restarting the main app? This has become a critical issue, so a detailed explanation would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

Hi, I have been working on the app that implements DNS Proxy Extension for a while now, and after a couple builds to TestFlight I noticed that I got a couple crashes that seem to be triggered by EXC_BREAKPOINT (SIGTRAP) After some investigation, it was found that crashes are connected to CFNetwork framework. So, I decided to additionally look into memory issues, but I found the app has no obvious memory leaks, no memory regression (within recommended 25%, actual value is at 20% as of right now), but the app still uses 11mb of memory footprint and most of it (6.5 mb is Swift metadata). At this point, not sure what's triggering those crashes, but I noticed that sometimes app will return message like this to the console (this example is for PostHog api that I use in the app): Task <0ABDCF4A-9653-4583-9150-EC11D852CA9E>.<1> finished with error [18 446 744 073 709 550 613] Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1003 "A server with the specified hostname could not be found."

I had a couple other ideas (HTTP3 failure, CFNetwork core issues like described here) but not sure if they are valid Would be grateful if someone could give me a hint of what I should look at

I've found an app that has a call blocking feature an is able to add more than 10_000_000 entries. As I understand it doesn't use more than one extension for it because I see only one in the Call Blocking & Identifying settings menu. How to implement that? My limit now is around 1_800_000 entries.

I am working on the device activity report. and fetched data is loading on the chart. I am developing app using TabbarController. when I go to another tab and come back to the chart screen, it disappears. Here, I am working on a storyboard using Swift language, and device activity reports can be fetched only with SwiftUI. So, the problem is with it? Following the current code. @State private var context: DeviceActivityReport.Context = .init(rawValue: "Daily Activity") @State private var report: DeviceActivityReport? @State private var filter = DeviceActivityFilter( segment: .daily( during: Calendar.current.dateInterval( of: .day, for: .now )! ) // users: .all // devices: .init([.iPhone, .iPad]) ) @State var isReload: Bool = false var body: some View { ZStack { if isReload { LoadingView(title: "Data is loading...") } else if let report = report { report } else { DeviceActivityReport(context, filter: filter) } } .onAppear { DispatchQueue.main.async { report = DeviceActivityReport(context, filter: filter) } } } struct LoadingView: View { var title: String = "Please wait..." var body: some View { HStack { ProgressView(title) .font(.system(size: 14, weight: .medium)) .progressViewStyle(.horizontal) .tint(Color(.darkGray)) .padding(8) } .background(Color(.white)) .cornerRadius(8) .clipped() } }

Im not a dev but trying to create something trying to create an app that includes an iMessage extension AND a sticker pack. My first attempt I tried to create a iMessage app but apparently I cant include a sticker pack. Ive tried to create a shell app with a sticker pack and iMessage extension but it's just not working. Can someone please let me know how I can do this. How can I get an iMessage extension app and a sticker pack installed at the same time from the same app. Ive tried everything, tried creating a seperate iOS app with sticker pack and iMessage extension and nothing. A lot of times a get an error like "CompileAssetCatalogVariant failed with a nonzero exit code"" If I remove the sticker pack builds successfully. thank you in advance

Hi, I'm implementing InSendMessageIntent handling in our app. I can handle InSendMessageIntent through extension, but handling also includes business logic like authorisation status and some heavy operation which I can't expose from the main target. I tried to handle it in-app, but func application(_ application: UIApplication, handlerFor intent: INIntent) -> Any? didn't trigger. At the first glance the configuration looks correct - the InSendMessageIntent is added under INIntentsSupported and UIApplicationSupportsMultipleScenes is set to YES in info.plist. After that reply with message button disappeared from the incoming Voip callKit screen. So I had a question - Is this intent possible to be handled in-app?

I'm developing wallet extension for my app and using sandbox for testing. It was working properly on iOS 17, then I updated to iOS 18 and now the Wallet doesn't recognize my extension. It passes on 'status' method, but doesn't reach the 'passEntries' method. Does it have any solution?

I noticed that the ChatGPT is listed as an "Extension" in the Apple Intelligence settings on iOS 18.2 beta. Does this mean developers will be able to create their own extensions? Or will this be limited to larger companies to incorporate their own models into Apple Intelligence?

I'm experimenting with getting my AUv3 plugins working correctly on iOS and MacOS using Catalyst. I'm having trouble getting the plugin windows to look right in Logic Pro X on MacOS. My plugin is designed to look right in Garageband's minimal 'letterbox' layout (1024x335, or ~1:3 aspect ratio) I have implemented supportedViewConfigurations to help the host choose the best display dimensions On iOS this works, although Logic Pro iPad doesn't seem to call supportedViewConfigurations at all, only Garageband does. On MacOS, Logic Pro does call supportedViewConfigurations but only provides oversized screen sizes, making the plugins look awkward. I can also remove the supportedViewConfigurations method on MacOS, but this introduces other issues: I guess my question boils down to this: how do I tell Logic Pro X on MacOS what the optimal window size of my plugin is, using Mac Catalyst?

My Safari Web Extension got rejected with the following reason: "Guideline 4.0 - Design The user is taken to a new Safari window or tab to sign in or register for an account, which provides a poor user experience." Is this right? First of all Design guide line 4.0 does not seem to mention antyhing about this topic. Second, I've seen many, many web extensions that opens a new tab to let you sign in or register. Including top recommended ones like Grammarly, PayPal Honey and Pocket. The review also mentions: It is acceptable to take users to the default web browser for some sign in or account registration options if ASWebAuthenticationSession is used for the session. That does not seem right either, since that is primarily designed for native apps. I'm pretty sure the extensions I've tried that open a tab for authentication does not use that. It is like my Safari Web Extension is being reviewed like a Mac OS app. What am I'm doing wrong?

I am creating an iOS app to install on legacy iPads running iOS 9 and up, using XCode 13.4.1 which is the latest version that will support iOS below 11. The app is working fine but I just added a QuickLook Preview extension, and on iOS 10.3.1 it will not install due to the following error: This app contains an app extension that specifies an extension point identifier that is not supported on this version of iOS for the value of the NSExtensionPointIdentifier key in its Info.plist. Domain: com.apple.dt.MobileDeviceErrorDomain Code: -402653007 The NSExtensionPointIdentifier key in Info.plist is set by XCode automatically to "com.apple.quicklook.preview". I want to set the iOS Deployment Target to the lowest iOS version that will support this configuration. The documentation does not provide any guide as to which specific NSExtensionPointIdentifier keys are compatible with which iOS version. It just says 8+ for the whole list. Trial-and-error is limited by availability of legacy Simulators. If anyone can point to documentation that indicates which iOS is supported by which NSExtensionPointIdentifier key com.apple.quicklook.preview, I would be very grateful. Thanks (I understand about lack of App Store support etc, this is an app for my use on old iPads)

I’m encountering a problem with my iOS app with new Live Caller ID extension when uploading to TestFlight. Here’s what's happening: When I try to upload the app to TestFlight without the NSExtensionPrincipalClass, I get the following error: Missing Info.plist values. No values for NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass found in extension Info.plist for foo.app/PlugIns/bar.appex However, if I include the NSExtensionPrincipalClass in the Info.plist of my extension, the app fails to launch on both the dev build and through TestFlight. The error message I receive is: bar.appex with id <bundle_id> defines either an NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass key, which is not allowed for the extension point com.apple.live-lookup Has anyone experienced a similar issue? How to fix it?

Our app has a share extension. And we recently noticed something with iOS 17.3.1. From Safari, when we receive the plist and try to load it, we are seeing exceptions for classes not allowed to be unarchived. [itemProvider loadItemForTypeIdentifier:[UTTypePropertyList identifier] options:nil completionHandler:^(NSDictionary *jsDict, NSError *error) { } We see these exceptions: value for key 'NS.keys' was of unexpected class 'NSString' (0x1ee7d2970) [/System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.framework]. Allowed classes are: {( "'NSDictionary' (0x1ee7cad38) [/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreFoundation.framework]" )} (null) Our preprocessing javascript file is basic, and only passes a title and URL as part of the payload. arguments.completionFunction({ "URL": document.URL "title": document.title, });

Trying to get on the waitlist for the above and the computer is saying: “Apple Intelligence is not available when Mac is set to English (Singapore)”. When just a few more bullet points below my Language selection shows “English (United States)”. That’s the only thing I can see, of course you guys are the experts. I would like to be part of this AI experiment/experience. Thanks for any help you can give to this 35+ year Mac user. Lee W

Hello everyone, I’m working on adding a Safari extension as an application extension to an iOS app created using Capacitor (generated from a React app). My goal is to bundle the Safari extension within the Capacitor app, allowing it to serve as a companion app for the extension. However, I’ve run into issues where the extension does not show up in Safari's extension settings when I run the app on a device or simulator. Here's an overview of what I’ve done so far: I initially used Capacitor’s command line tools to generate the iOS app from my React project. This app runs fine on its own. To add the Safari extension, I’m not developing a platform-specific extension from scratch; instead, I used the Xcode command line to convert a Chrome extension to a Safari iOS extension. The converted extension functions correctly if paired with the default Swift app that comes with the conversion. Right now, I effectively have two products: The base Capacitor app (without the extension), which I want as my main app. The standalone Safari extension bundled with the Swift app (from the conversion process). My question is: How can I merge these two products so that the Capacitor app becomes the companion app for the Safari extension, allowing the extension to show up in Safari's settings? Are there specific configurations I should adjust in Xcode or within the manifest files to make this work seamlessly? Any guidance or best practices from others who have integrated Safari extensions into non-Xcode-based projects would be much appreciated! Thank you!

I have a working iMessage app in the app store that does NOT have a companion app. iMessage app only. I now want to add stickers to it. I cannot get this to work; stickers do not show up in the stickers section, nor in the "Manage Sticker Apps" section. Problem exists on Xcode 16, latest OS, on all simulators and devices. I tried adding a new "Sticker App Extension" target to the project. I tried adding just the Stickers.xcassets file to the exsisting iMessage extension and the app itself. I tried googling but all examples and tutorials show how to create a complete stickers app, which works correctly. But I do not want the app. Notable mention: If I create a new "Stickers app" project it works, but if I then try to add an iMessage app extension, THAT does not work so I then have a reverse situation in which the stickers extension DOES work but the iMessage app doesn't. I somehow have the feeling that an app cannot have both an iMessage Extension and a Stickers App Extension but the documentation is, of course, in true Apple style, lacking. So how to add a Sticker App Extension to an existing app with an iMessage Extension?

I created a locked camera capture extension as explained in Apple's documentation. I'm trying to explore the possibilities of using a bluetooth peripheral from that extension - anybody knows if this is possible? The CBCentralManagerDelegate reports .unsupported in func centralManagerDidUpdateState, even if I have provided all the permissions in Info.plist.

Capturing a Metal workload in Xcode, exporting a .gputrace file, is there a way to export the data using the command line, just like .memgraph can use malloc_history --quiet to export the data as text

I am recording video on iOS using ReplayKit and found that after copying data in the processSampleBuffer:withType: callback using memcpy, the data changes. This occurs particularly frequently when the screen content changes rapidly, making it look like the frames are overlapping. I found that the values starting from byte 672 in the video data on my device often change. Here is the test demo: - (void)processSampleBuffer:(CMSampleBufferRef)sampleBuffer withType:(RPSampleBufferType)sampleBufferType { switch (sampleBufferType) { case RPSampleBufferTypeVideo: { CVPixelBufferRef pixelBuffer = CMSampleBufferGetImageBuffer(sampleBuffer); CVPixelBufferLockBaseAddress(pixelBuffer, kCVPixelBufferLock_ReadOnly); int ret = 0; uint8_t *oYData = CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddressOfPlane(pixelBuffer, 0); size_t oYSize = CVPixelBufferGetHeightOfPlane(pixelBuffer, 0) * CVPixelBufferGetBytesPerRowOfPlane(pixelBuffer, 0); uint8_t *oUVData = CVPixelBufferGetBaseAddressOfPlane(pixelBuffer, 1); size_t oUVSize = CVPixelBufferGetHeightOfPlane(pixelBuffer, 1) * CVPixelBufferGetBytesPerRowOfPlane(pixelBuffer, 1); if (oYSize <= 672) { return; } uint8_t tempValue = oYData[672]; uint8_t *tYData = malloc(oYSize); memcpy(tYData, oYData, oYSize); if (tYData[672] != oYData[672]) { NSLog(@"$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:%d o:%d temp:%d", tYData[672], oYData[672], tempValue); } free(tYData); CVPixelBufferUnlockBaseAddress(pixelBuffer, kCVPixelBufferLock_ReadOnly); break; } default: { break; } } } Output: $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:110 o:124 temp:110 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:111 o:133 temp:111 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:124 o:138 temp:124 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:133 o:144 temp:133 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:138 o:151 temp:138 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:144 o:156 temp:144 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:151 o:135 temp:151 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:156 o:78 temp:156 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:135 o:76 temp:135 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:78 o:77 temp:78 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:76 o:80 temp:76 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:77 o:80 temp:77 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:80 o:79 temp:80 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$------ t:79 o:80 temp:79
