I can't seem to find information on this but this is causing a critical bug where the Strong Password suggestion sheet presents on any secure field (UIKit) and clears the others when closing it. This means the user cannot enter a password when there is a secure confirm password field because switching fields clears the other. This looks to be a recent issue but I can't tell when this was introduced or if this is SDK / OS version related. I am finding it in both Xcode 26.2 and 16.4 when running on device (iOS 26.2.1 and XC 26 simulators). Code to reproduce: class ViewController: UIViewController { override func loadView() { let v = UIStackView() v.axis = .vertical v.layoutMargins = .init(top: 16, left: 16, bottom: 16, right: 16) v.isLayoutMarginsRelativeArrangement = true view = v let t1 = UITextField() t1.textContentType = .username t1.placeholder = "Username" v.addArrangedSubview(t1) let t2 = UITextField() t2.isSecureTextEntry = true t2.textContentType = .newPassword t2.placeholder = "Password" t2.clearsOnInsertion = false t2.clearsOnBeginEditing = false t2.passwordRules = nil t2.clearButtonMode = .always v.addArrangedSubview(t2) let t3 = UITextField() t3.isSecureTextEntry = true t3.textContentType = .newPassword t3.placeholder = "Confirm Password" t3.clearsOnInsertion = false t3.clearsOnBeginEditing = false t3.passwordRules = nil t3.clearButtonMode = .always v.addArrangedSubview(t3) v.addArrangedSubview(UIView()) } } No matter what textContentType is used the strong password still forcefully breaks the flow and blocks the user.

Hello, my App DEBRIEF has now already for 15d the status „Waiting For Review“ and nothing is changing. I opened a support ticket under 102880278747 3d ago and got the reply that it should have been checked and it can’t take much longer. I am running ads already for the app and some partners are waiting for the launch. Any Ideas what I can do or is that normal ? What do I need to expect?

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm seeing a persistent crash in my iOS app reported via Firebase Crashlytics. The issue only started appearing on devices running iOS 26.3.0 and above (the crash does not occur on lower iOS versions, and it's unrelated to my app's version number). Key points: My app does NOT use any Text-to-Speech (TTS) features whatsoever. No AVSpeechSynthesizer, no Speech framework, no related APIs called from our code. My app is primarily written in Objective-C (with some Swift components possibly via dependencies). The crash stack is entirely within Apple's private TextToSpeech framework, specifically in ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance(). I suspect it might be indirectly triggered by a third-party ad SDK (e.g., Google Mobile Ads, AppLovin, etc.) that could be loading or interacting with accessibility features in the background — but this is just a hypothesis, as I have no direct evidence yet. Here is one representative crash log: Crashed: com.apple.root.user-initiated-qos.cooperative 0 TextToSpeech 0x6bb00 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 99800 1 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 2 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 3 TextToSpeech 0x1a0b9c ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 1365620 4 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x628b4 swift::runJobInEstablishedExecutorContext(swift::Job*) + 288 5 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x63d28 swift_job_runImpl(swift::Job*, swift::SerialExecutorRef) + 156 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x13f48 _dispatch_root_queue_drain + 364 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x146fc _dispatch_worker_thread2 + 180 8 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x137c _pthread_wqthread + 232 9 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x8c0 start_wqthread + 8 The crash occurs on a background cooperative queue (Swift Concurrency). Questions: Has anyone else seen crashes inside ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() in TextToSpeech on iOS 26.3.0+ even without using TTS in their app? Could a third-party ad SDK be causing the TextToSpeech framework to load unexpectedly (e.g., via accessibility preloading)? Is this a known bug in iOS 26's Spoken Content / Speak Selection features? Any workarounds or fixes from Apple? Any insights, similar reports (especially from Objective-C based apps), or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello, I am investigating a recurring crash that appears to be originating within the system's network stack. OS Version: iPhone OS 26.1 (23B85) Role: Foreground Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Subtype: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x0000000000000000 Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x0000000000000000 Triggered by Thread: 19 Description: The crash is triggered by Thread 19 and occurs deep within libquic.dylib during a QUIC recovery timer event.

[SKStoreReviewController requestReviewInScene:] no longer displays the review prompt in debug/development builds on iOS 26.5 beta (23F5043k and 23F5043g). According to Apple's documentation, the review prompt should always appear in debug builds to facilitate testing. This was working in previous iOS versions (iOS 26.4 and older). Steps to reproduce: Run app from Xcode in debug configuration on a device running iOS 26.5 beta (23F5043k or 23F5043g) Call [SKStoreReviewController requestReviewInScene:windowScene] with a valid, foreground-active UIWindowScene Observe that the method executes without error (scene is valid per NSLog) but no review prompt appears Expected: Review prompt should display in debug builds Actual: No prompt appears, despite the scene being valid and foreground-active This worked correctly on previous iOS versions (26.4) so looks like this bug was introduced in 26.5 Beta versions. I have already filed a bug report in Feedback Assistant with number: FB22445620

I'm distributing a Safari Web Extension iOS app via TestFlight (built from a Chrome MV3 extension via xcrun safari-web-extension-converter on Xcode 26.0.1). The extension installs and registers correctly, but its popup never opens when the toolbar item is tapped. The behavior is silent — no error, no flash of UI, no console output. The Safari "ᴀA" menu just closes and the user is back at the article. WHAT WORKS: Extension appears in Settings → Safari → Extensions, can be enabled Permissions can be granted ("Always Allow on Every Website") Extension appears as expected in Safari's "ᴀA" address-bar menu WHAT DOESN'T WORK: Tapping the extension item in the AA menu produces no popup, no error, no visible response of any kind. Same on iPhone and iPad, both on iOS 26. WHAT I'VE VERIFIED VIA IPA INSPECTION: Extension .appex contains: manifest.json, popup.html, popup.js, background.js, content.js, and images/ with all icons _CodeSignature/CodeResources files2 lists 11 entries — every web extension resource is signed manifest declares: "action": { "default_popup": "popup.html", "default_icon": {...} } Extension Info.plist has standard NSExtension dict: NSExtensionPointIdentifier = com.apple.Safari.web-extension NSExtensionPrincipalClass = (My)_Extension.SafariWebExtensionHandler ISOLATION TEST: To rule out my popup code, I replaced popup.html with a 506-byte file containing only a static green box and "Hello World" text — no scripts, no images, no external references. This minimal popup ALSO fails to open with the same silent behavior. So this is not a script error or content issue. MANIFEST DETAILS (relevant excerpts): { "manifest_version": 3, "action": { "default_popup": "popup.html", "default_icon": {...} }, "background": { "scripts": ["background.js"], "persistent": false }, "content_scripts": [{ "matches": ["<all_urls>"], "js": ["content.js"] }], "permissions": ["activeTab", "storage", "scripting"], "host_permissions": ["<all_urls>"] } I previously had "background": { "service_worker": "background.js", "type": "module" } and switched to scripts/non-persistent based on prior forum advice about iOS Safari incompatibility with module-type service workers. No change in behavior either way. ENVIRONMENT: iOS 26 (iPhone and iPad — both affected) Built on macos-15 GitHub Actions runner with Xcode 26.0.1 Distribution via TestFlight Manifest version 3 Extension target produced by xcrun safari-web-extension-converter I cannot easily provide a focused Xcode test project as my entire build pipeline runs on GitHub Actions (no local Mac access at this time). I can share the IPA, build pipeline configuration, and source repository. Has anyone else seen silent popup failures on iOS 26 from converter-built Safari Web Extensions? Is there an Info.plist key, build setting, or NSExtension attribute the converter is missing that's needed for popups to render on iOS 26? Thanks for any insight.

Is there a safeAreaInsets equivalent that only tracks system bars (tab bars, status bars, side bars, toolbars, and navigation bars) and is not affected by notches? I'm asking this because the iPadOS tab bar can appear either on the top, bottom, or left (modally or non-modally) in various configurations, including sidebarAdaptable and when the window size is small on iPadOS; the tab bar's frame is not really reliable in this case, and while the safe area insets works, it also includes the notches / rounded window corners...

I have a brand new iPhone 15 with iOS 17, paired with a watch on WatchOS10. In devices and simulators, the iPhone 15 and Watch 10 device show up as disconnected (with the globe icon I think is what it is?) and if I click on either of them, that icon changes to a spinner, and the main window says "Xcode will continue when the operation completes", but it NEVER completes. This makes the device not usable for development. In addition, I have updated my iPad to iOS17, and it doesn't even show up at all in the devices and simulator list, even though it is enabled for developer mode. I have toggled developer mode off and on (thus rebooting). I have quit and restarted Xcode. I have even rebooted the Mac. Nothing helps. This is incredibly frustrating.

I've just implemented background session downloads, and in testing (with 1044 downloadTasks), I'm seeing some strange behavior that's not 100% reproducible. Sometimes when I background the app, when I foreground it (or the OS does), the URLSessionDownloadDelegate's function urlSession(_:downloadTask:didFinishDownloadingTo:) gets called twice. I'm also logging the URLSessionTaskDelegate's function urlSession(_:task:didCompleteWithError:) and in this case, it does not get called between calls to didFinishDownloadingTo. Both cases are being called with the exactly same task, session and location. The first call copies the location to a semi-permanent destination (and I confirmed that file is correct), and the second call fails on move because the destination already exists. I can obviously work around this fairly easily, but wondering if I'm missing something or if there's a bug. It does appear to happen more reliably when I background for 15 seconds or longer. A second issue which is reproducible is that while backgrounded, some files are completing downloads and never calling the download delegate's urlSession(_:downloadTask:didWriteData:totalBytesWritten:totalBytesExpectedToWrite:) I tried resuming one or all of the tasks in applicationDidBecomeActive as suggested in multiple other forums posts, but neither of those seems to resolve the issue. Again, I can work around this (using a combination of totalBytesWritten and the known size of files which have completed downloads), but I'm wondering if I'm missing something obvious. I actually thought that perhaps the resume() workaround was causing the first issue, but removing it does not have an effect.

Hi everyone, We are investigating a possible iOS permission state issue after a device previously installed our app through TestFlight and later installed the production version from the App Store using the same Bundle ID. Environment: Device: iPhone 15 iOS version: 26.2.1 App distribution history: The app was previously installed through TestFlight and later installed from the App Store Permissions involved: Camera / Photos Issue: When the user opens the App Store version of the app and tries to access a feature that requires Camera or Photos permission, the iOS permission prompt does not appear as expected. Also, the app does not appear under: Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera or: Settings > Privacy & Security > Photos Because of this, the user cannot manually enable the permission. Another user on iOS was able to grant the permissions normally, so the issue appears to be isolated to the device that previously used the TestFlight build. Expected behavior: When the App Store version requests Camera or Photos permission, iOS should display the permission prompt, or the app should appear under Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera/Photos so the user can manage the permission manually. Actual behavior: The permission prompt does not appear, and the app does not appear in the corresponding privacy permission list. Possible cause: It seems like the device may be preserving or reusing a stale privacy permission state from the previous TestFlight installation, since both the TestFlight build and the App Store build use the same Bundle ID. Steps to reproduce: Install the app through TestFlight. Open the app and trigger a Camera/Photos permission request. Grant or deny the permission. Stop testing or remove the TestFlight version. Install the production version from the App Store using the same Bundle ID. Open the App Store version. Trigger the same Camera/Photos permission request flow. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Camera/Photos. The app does not appear, or the permission prompt does not behave as expected. Workarounds attempted or suggested: Close and reopen the app. Restart the iPhone. Delete and reinstall the app from the App Store. Stop testing the app from TestFlight. Reset Location & Privacy settings. Question: Has anyone experienced a similar issue where iOS does not show the permission prompt or does not list the app under Privacy & Security after switching from a TestFlight build to the App Store version with the same Bundle ID? Is there a recommended way to fully clear the previous TestFlight permission state, or should this be reported as a possible iOS/TestFlight permission state bug?

Hello, We are reaching out as a company providing Wi-Fi connectivity services through captive portals to report a potential issue identified after upgrading to iOS 26. Since the release of this version, we have received multiple reports from customers who are unable to complete the authentication process on captive portal networks. The observed behavior is as follows: The device correctly detects the Wi-Fi network. The connection is established at the link level, but after entering access credentials and proceeding to the next login step, an “error opening page” message is consistently displayed. When the user taps “OK,” the captive portal mini-browser closes. As a result, the user is unable to authenticate or gain internet access. We have verified that: Our network infrastructure and captive portals function correctly on other operating systems (Android, Windows, and previous iOS versions). No recent changes have been made to our platforms that could explain this behavior. The issue appears to be consistently reproducible on devices running iOS 26. Additionally, we have identified similar reports from users in public communities like reddit, suggesting this is not an isolated case. https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/1no4vzt/switched_to_ios_26_and_now_i_cant_connect_to/ Given the direct impact on user experience and services relying on web-based authentication, we would appreciate any information on whether this behavior is being investigated or if there are any technical recommendations to mitigate the issue. Thank you for your attention.

Apps that try to access the contents of the pasteboard cause a system prompt to appear asking the user "AppName" would like to paste from "OtherAppName" Do you want to allow this? Don't Allow Paste Allow Paste This prompt does not appear if you implement a UIPasteControl and the user taps it to signal intent to paste, but this control cannot be placed into a UIMenu. I read this could be achieved with UIAction.Identifiers like .paste or .newFromPasteboard but the prompt still appears with the following code. What's the trick? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() title = "TestPaste" view.backgroundColor = .systemBackground let imageView = UIImageView() imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false imageView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit imageView.clipsToBounds = true view.addSubview(imageView) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ imageView.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor), imageView.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor), imageView.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor), imageView.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor) ]) navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(title: "Add", image: UIImage(systemName: "plus"), menu: UIMenu(children: [ UIAction(identifier: .paste) { _ in imageView.image = UIPasteboard.general.image } ])) }

Hey guys, I made a app that features push notificaions, and I keep having problems setting them up. It asks permissions, and then it says that it cannot get the APN token after 10 seconds, and I am positive that I have enabled Push Notificaions in the provisioning profile in Xcode. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

I am having an issue where my builds are marked green and ready for testing, but when I go to install from TestFlight I get the following message: "Could not Install X App" "The requested app is not available or doesn't exist" I've tried troubleshooting with information found online, tried different testing users. New builds. All result in the same message. Multiple support emails to Apple Developer. No response in 8 days.

Hello everyone, I’m running into an issue where a partial sheet repeatedly presents and dismisses in a loop. Setup The main screen is presented using fullScreenCover From that screen, a button triggers a standard partial-height sheet The sheet is presented using .sheet(item:) Expected Behavior Tapping the button should present the sheet once and allow it to be dismissed normally. Actual Behavior After the sheet is triggered, it continuously presents and dismisses. What I’ve Verified The bound item is not being reassigned in either the parent or the presented view There is no .task, .onAppear, or .onChange that sets the item again The loop appears to happen without any explicit state updates Additional Context I encountered a very similar issue when iOS 26.0 was first released At that time, moving the .sheet modifier to a higher parent level resolved the issue The problem has now returned on iOS 26.4 beta I’m currently unable to reproduce this in a minimal sample project, which makes it unclear whether: this is a framework regression, or I’m missing a new presentation requirement Environment iOS: 26.4 beta Xcode: 26.4 beta I’ve attached a screen recording of the behavior. Has anyone else experienced this with a fullScreenCover → sheet flow on iOS 26.4? Any guidance or confirmation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I’m seeing a rendering issue with UITabBarController on iOS 26 (Liquid Glass), and I’d like to confirm whether others can reproduce this or have a workaround. Summary If a UITabBarController is recreated while it is fully hidden behind a fullscreen modal, the tab bar renders incorrectly after dismissal. Selected tab becomes nearly invisible Unselected tabs appear to show both selected and unselected tint colors Looks like multiple rendering states are composited incorrectly This only happens with: iOS 26 (Liquid Glass enabled) UIKit UITabBarController It does not reproduce with SwiftUI TabView. Minimal Reproduction Code This is a complete, minimal example: import UIKit // MARK: - Root class RootViewController: UIViewController { private var tabBar: UITabBarController? private var modalPresented = false override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() installTabBar() } override func viewDidAppear(_ animated: Bool) { super.viewDidAppear(animated) // Present once on first appear, simulating an app-launch login flow. if !modalPresented { modalPresented = true presentModal() } } private func installTabBar() { let tab = UITabBarController() tab.viewControllers = [ makeTab(title: "Tab 1", systemImage: "1.circle"), makeTab(title: "Tab 2", systemImage: "2.circle"), ] tabBar = tab addChild(tab) view.addSubview(tab.view) tab.view.frame = view.bounds tab.didMove(toParent: self) } private func makeTab(title: String, systemImage: String) -> UIViewController { let vc = UIViewController() vc.view.backgroundColor = .systemBackground vc.tabBarItem = UITabBarItem(title: title, image: UIImage(systemName: systemImage), tag: 0) return vc } private func presentModal() { let modal = ModalViewController() modal.onDismiss = { [weak self] in // Recreate the tab bar while it is still fully hidden by the modal. // This seems to trigger incorrect Liquid Glass rendering. self?.tabBar?.willMove(toParent: nil) self?.tabBar?.view.removeFromSuperview() self?.tabBar?.removeFromParent() self?.installTabBar() // ← created while invisible self?.dismiss(animated: true) } modal.modalPresentationStyle = .fullScreen present(modal, animated: true) } } // MARK: - Modal class ModalViewController: UIViewController { var onDismiss: (() -> Void)? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .systemBackground let button = UIButton(type: .system) button.setTitle("Dismiss", for: .normal) button.titleLabel?.font = .preferredFont(forTextStyle: .title2) button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(dismissTapped), for: .touchUpInside) button.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false view.addSubview(button) NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ button.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor), button.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor), ]) } @objc private func dismissTapped() { onDismiss?() } } Expected Behavior The tab bar renders normally with correct Liquid Glass appearance: Selected tab is clearly visible Unselected tabs show only inactive tint Actual Behavior Selected tab becomes nearly invisible Unselected tabs show a mix of selected + unselected tint The issue resolves after backgrounding and returning to foreground Observations / Workarounds The issue does not reproduce if: The tab bar is recreated after dismissal: self.dismiss(animated: true) { self.installTabBar() } Using SwiftUI TabView Using a presentation style that does not fully cover the screen (.pageSheet, etc.) Question Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a recommended workaround besides delaying creation until after dismissal? It seems like Liquid Glass rendering may not initialize correctly when the view is attached while fully obscured, but I’m not sure if this is expected behavior or a bug.

The app crashes when using EAAccessoryManager.showBluetoothAccessoryPicker(withNameFilter:) to connect to a Bluetooth accessory in a multi-accessory scenario. The crash occurs immediately after selecting an accessory from the picker UI. Steps to Reproduce: Ensure a Bluetooth accessory (Accessory A) is already connected to the iPhone/iPad and is visible in Bluetooth settings. Launch the app. Initiate a connection flow that presents the Bluetooth accessory picker using EAAccessoryManager.showBluetoothAccessoryPicker(withNameFilter:). Ensure another compatible accessory (Accessory B) is available and visible in the picker. Select Accessory B from the picker to connect. After connection, simulate a disconnect of Accessory B (e.g., power cycle or remove battery). Attempt to reconnect Accessory B by triggering the same picker flow again. Select Accessory B from the picker. Result: The accessory connects successfully at the system level. The app crashes immediately after selecting the accessory from the picker (during dismissal). Reproducibility: Occurs consistently under the described multi-accessory scenario. Not observed when only a single accessory is present.

StoreKit2 Repro Notes: the latest renewal appears in Transaction.unfinished after restore (2026-04-05) 1. Issue Summary In the current project, during a normal cold launch: Transaction.latest(for:) returns a value for the weekly subscription Transaction.all returns the full subscription history chain Transaction.unfinished is empty However, after tapping Restore Purchases and calling AppStore.sync(), one "latest renewal" transaction appears in Transaction.unfinished. This behavior looks more like a system-side replay triggered by AppStore.sync() than a consistently unfinished transaction during a normal launch. 2. Affected Product Product: do.i.iapc.vip.week Transaction chain characteristics: All transactions belong to the same auto-renewable subscription chain originalTransactionID = 2000001143446796 The transaction that appears in unfinished is usually the latest or last renewal in the chain 3. Current Code Path During app startup: loadProducts() Debug snapshot for Transaction.latest(for:) Debug snapshot for Transaction.all Scan Transaction.unfinished refreshEntitlements() During restore purchases: Call AppStore.sync() Scan Transaction.unfinished refreshEntitlements() 4. Preconditions A Sandbox test account is used The weekly subscription do.i.iapc.vip.week already has multiple historical renewal transactions The subscription is already expired, so entitlements = 0 during a normal launch The issue is easier to reproduce on an iOS 26.4 device The issue was not consistently reproduced on another iOS 18.2 device 5. Reproduction Steps Path A: Normal cold launch Launch the app Observe the logs: LatestTransaction snapshot AllTransaction snapshot summary unfinished processing result Observed result: latest has a value all contains the full history chain unfinishedHandledCount = 0 Path B: Tap Restore Purchases Launch the app Tap Restore Purchases Trigger AppStore.sync() Observe the logs: restore started unfinished processing started unfinished transaction received Observed result: After restore, one "latest renewal" transaction appears in unfinished That same transaction does not necessarily appear during a normal cold launch 6. Expected Result If a transaction has already been successfully finished in the past, it should not appear again as unfinished after Restore Purchases. A stricter expectation is: During a normal cold launch, unfinished = 0 After tapping Restore Purchases, unfinished should still remain 0 7. Actual Result Actual behavior: Normal cold launch: unfinished = 0 After Restore Purchases: one "latest renewal" transaction appears again in unfinished This suggests that AppStore.sync() may replay the most recent historical subscription transaction. 8. Current Assessment Based on the current logs, the issue is more likely to be: Related to AppStore.sync() / StoreKit / Sandbox replay behavior on the system side Easier to reproduce on iOS 26.4 Less likely to be caused by a persistent app-side bug where finish() is missed during a normal startup flow Reasons: During a normal launch, unfinished = 0 The behavior is inconsistent across devices and OS versions, even with the same Sandbox account latest, all, and unfinished can be clearly separated during a normal cold launch 9. Suggested Engineering Position Suggested wording for internal or external communication: In the iOS 26.4 + Sandbox environment, calling AppStore.sync() may cause StoreKit to replay the latest historical subscription transaction into Transaction.unfinished. Since the same transaction does not necessarily appear during a normal cold launch, the issue currently looks more like a system/environment-specific behavior difference than an app-side bug where finish() is consistently missed during the regular startup path. 10. Additional Evidence That Can Be Collected If this needs to be escalated to the team or to Apple, the following would strengthen the report: Full log comparison before and after tapping Restore Purchases The same transactionId compared between normal launch and post-restore behavior Cross-device comparison on different iOS versions A minimal reproducible sample project and Sandbox test record

I’m using SwiftData with CloudKit and running into an issue during initial sync on a fresh device. I’m importing a small set of records, some records has images as CKAsset (with about 5 images ~3MB). Records indexes are the default ones for the Dev env. The problem is that the import process never seems to complete. However, if I delete those records that contains the assets from the iCloud Dashboard, the import finishes successfully. Has anyone experienced something similar? What approach would you recommend to handle this without implementing a custom sync layer on top of CloudKit? I am logging remote changes events (NSPersistentStoreRemoteChange): CloudKit import in progress...|2026-04-25 22:18:10| Then I see: Background Task 49 ("CoreData: CloudKit Import"), was created over 30 seconds ago. In applications running in the background, this creates a risk of termination. Remember to call UIApplication.endBackgroundTask(_:) for your task in a timely manner to avoid this. And then the import never ends. Thanks!
