I have my main app that connect to multiple internal modules. These modules are built with Xcode 15.4 on Jenkins. If I use these modules as xcframework in main app and try to build main app with Xcode 16.2 it will give error. Framework built with older version of Swift. I thought we have ABI stability with new Xcode versions. Any idea what can be issue?

After users upgraded to iOS18.5 beta2, they began to give many feedback on the following issues: When you switch tab, the interface is blank. Find out the reason. The method of clicking tab no longer responds. Is this a system bug? Hope this problem can be solved as soon as possible

C++ code that compiled fine on Xcode 16.2 when targeting macOS 13.3 after upgrading to Xcode 16.3 gives an error that the minimum required target is macOS 13.4 with an error like: `/Applications/Xcode-16.3.0.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX15.4.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/__format/formatter_floating_point.h:74:30: error: 'to_chars' is unavailable: introduced in macOS 13.4 unknown 74 | to_chars_result __r = std::to_chars(__first, __last, __value, __fmt, __precision); Here’s example taken directly from (https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/format/format): #include <format> #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <string_view> template<typename...

The Apple documentation for C++ feature support explicitly discusses 13.3. https://developer.apple.com/xcode/cpp/ (search for P0067R5 on the page) I haven't tested it, but based on the standard library headers the minimum required iOS version has also been bumped - from 16.3 to 16.5. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a known work-around? Filed feedback: FB17081499

Feedback Ticket: FB13812251 Problem Statement: We are currently facing internet connectivity issue with our VPN application where we try to disconnect the VPN from the Packet Tunnel Network Extension using - (void)cancelTunnelWithError:(nullable NSError *)error. Which API to use to disconnect the VPN from Packet Tunnel as VPN app is not running such that device retains its internet connectivity as soon as VPN disconnects. Configuration: We have configured PacketTunnelProvider with the following settings: (NETunnelProviderManager *)tunnelProvider.protocolConfiguration.includeAllNetworks = YES; (NETunnelProviderManager *)tunnelProvider.protocolConfiguration.excludeLocalNetworks = NO; (NETunnelProviderManager *)tunnelProvider.protocolConfiguration.enforceRoutes = NO; These settings are applied from the VPN app and allow us to successfully establish a VPN connection, with all traffic being routed through the tunnel as expected.We are setting above properties to address local net attack. Issue we are facing: However, we encounter a problem when we attempt to disconnect the VPN from. When we call the following method from PacketTunnel network extension: (void)cancelTunnelWithError:(nullable NSError *)error Upon calling this method, the VPN disconnects as expected, but the device loses all internet connectivity and is unable to access any resources. This is not the desired behavior. Observation : Interestingly, when we call the following method from the app side. The VPN disconnects and the device retains its internet connectivity. [enabledConfig.connection stopVPNTunnel]; We would like to achieve the same behavior when disconnecting the VPN from the Network Extension. So we are looking for an API that could be called from NE without causing any internet connectivity issue. Any guidance on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated.

As the image access policy has changed with Android targeting SDK 34, I’m planning to update the way our app accesses photos. We are using the react-native-image-picker library to access images. On Android, the system no longer prompts the user for image access permissions, but on iOS, permission requests still appear. Since Android no longer requires explicit permissions, I’ve removed the permission request logic for Android. In this case, is it also safe to remove the permission request for iOS? In our app, photo access is only used for changing the user profile picture and attaching images when writing a post on the bulletin board. Are there any limitations or considerations for this kind of usage?

We are experiencing a compatibility issue with our hybrid app related to the recent update in iPadOS 18.4, specifically concerning HTTPS connections. What are the key changes introduced in iPadOS 18.4 regarding HTTPS connections? Our app previously managed to bypass the DigitalSignature key usage missing error in the self-signed server certificate within the didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge method, as documented here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wknavigationdelegate/webview(_:didreceive:completionhandler:) . However, since the update to iPadOS 18.4, this method is no longer being called, resulting in direct failure of HTTPS connections. We are using cordova-ios 7.1. Thanks in advance for your help.

Question: I'm encountering an issue with in-app purchases (IAP) in Unity, specifically for a non-consumable product in the iOS sandbox environment. Below are the details: Environment: Unity Version: 2022.3.55f1 Unity In-App Purchasing Version: v4.12.2 Device: iPhone (15, iOS 18.1.1) Connection: Wi-Fi iOS Settings: In-App Purchases set to “Allowed” initially Problem Behavior: I attempted to purchase a non-consumable item for the first time. The payment is successfully completed by entering the password. I then background the game app and navigate to the iOS Settings to set In-App Purchases to "Don't Allow." After returning to the game and either closing or killing the app, I try to purchase the same non-consumable item again. I checked canMakePayments() through the Apple configuration, and the app correctly detected that I could not make purchases due to the restriction. I then navigate back to Settings and set In-App Purchases to "Allow." Upon returning to the game, I try purchasing the non-consumable item again. A pop-up appears, saying, "You’ve already purchased this. Would you like to get it again for free?" The issue is: Will it deduct money for the second time, and why is the system allowing the user to purchase the same non-consumable item multiple times after purchasing it once? Is this the expected behavior for Unity In-App Purchasing, or is there something I might be missing in handling non-consumable purchases in this scenario? Additional Information: I’ve confirmed that the "In-App Purchases" are set to “Allowed” before attempting the purchase again. I understand that non-consumable products should not be purchased more than once, so I’m unsure why the system is offering to let the user purchase it again. I appreciate any insights into whether this is expected behavior or if I need to adjust how I handle the purchase flow.

I'm an iOS developer, and I've been testing our app in iOS 18.0 Beta. I noticed that there's a problem with the font rendering, and after troubleshooting, I've found out that it's caused by the removal of the PingFang.ttc font in 18.0. I would like to ask the reason for removing this font file and which font should be used to display Chinese in the future? My test device is an iPhone 11 Pro and the system version is iOS 18.0 (22A5297). I have also tested Beta 1 and it has the same issue. In previous versions of the system, the PingFang font is located in this directory /System/Library/Fonts/LanguageSupport/PingFang.ttc. But in iOS 18.0, the font file in this directory has become Kohinoor.ttc, and I've tested that this font can't display Chinese either. I traversed the following system font directories and could not find the PingFang.ttc font file. /System/Library/Fonts/AppFonts /System/Library/Fonts/Core /System/Library/Fonts/CoreAddition /System/Library/Fonts/CoreUI /System/Library/Fonts/LanguageSupport /System/Library/Fonts/UnicodeSupport /System/Library/Fonts/Watch Looking for answers, thanks for the help!

I‘m getting tired of having to reinstall apps because of the amount of datas. I deleted alot of photos. Deleted apps. The thing that gets my storage full is the System data. I searched up for tutorials, it was full with clearing safari history or deleting old messages, offloading apps. I did them all, none of them decreased my system data and its at 12GB while my phone‘s GB is only up to 64GB. I use IOS 16 Iphone 11. Can someone help?

It just returns an empty product identifier. Provide the me the solution or kindly fix the issue in xcode IDE regarding this issue in latest xcode

I'm totally baffled by the changes Apple made on iOS18 about certificates usage in the built-in mail application. They decided that self-signed are not accepted any more, fine. As long as you can install your own root CA and trust it, it should be fine. But NO! They have also decided that mail will only accept IMAP servers using a domain name, no more just and IP address. So you can't get any IP-based certificate that will be accepted by the mail app, even with the right SAN and al. I've tried two "identical" certs, one with a domain and one with an IP and the domain works while the IP fails, being rejected as non-valid by the app. The most funny part is that the IP cert is good enough to configure mail (can see the successful login), but is being rejected when reading emails. I'm really fed up with the "Apple police" that wants to push us not using our own storage anymore. My se case is simple, I have an IMAP server that is used by family to archive all emails and keep them organized, saved forever and away from being scanned. I need to access that server either when locally connected or through VPN. For VPN, I use split tunnels because I don't want all traffic to go to tunnel. Nor do I want to create my own local DNS server and have all VPN clients use such DNS server only for the sake of having a domain name for the IMAP server. Nor do I want to open an external port to redirect to my IMAP server (that works of course as then I can use DDNS ...). Talk about increased security! This is insane

Hello, I would like to report a critical issue with Arabic text rendering in SwiftUI apps on iOS and iPadOS. When using Arabic as the default language (Right-to-Left - RTL), Arabic text appears reversed and disconnected inside several SwiftUI components like: List Section TextField Picker Custom views (like StudentRowView) Even though the environment is set to .layoutDirection(.rightToLeft), the dynamic Arabic text is not rendered properly. Static headers display correctly, but any dynamic content (student names, notes, field titles) becomes broken and unreadable. Examples where the issue occurs: AboutView.swift → Arabic text inside List and Section SettingsView.swift → TextField placeholders and Picker options StudentRowView.swift → Student names and grade field titles Environment: SwiftUI 5 (Xcode 15+) iOS 17+ Reproducible 100% on both Simulator and real devices. Expected Behavior: Arabic text should appear properly connected, right-aligned, and readable without any manual workaround for each Text or TextField. Workarounds Tried: Manually setting .multilineTextAlignment(.trailing) (inefficient) Wrapping every Text inside an HStack with Spacer (hacky) Building custom UIKit views (defeats purpose of SwiftUI simplicity) Formal Feedback: I have submitted a Feedback Assistant report We hope this issue will be prioritized and fixed to improve SwiftUI's support for Arabic and other RTL languages. Thank you.

Hi Everybody, I am actually developing dynamic shortcuts for my app. I have a problem with the class UIApplicationShortcutIcon. When I pass a personalized icon in the parameter icon as a UIApplicationShortcutIcon(templateImageName: "nameOfTheAsset" I always visualize a black dot instead of my Icon. The icon is imported as .SVG file and rendered as a template. Sincerely I do not know what to do to solve this problem since the documentation is little. Hoping somebody can give some tips to solve the problem

I have an iOS app where I'm trying to paste something previously copied to the user's UIPasteboard. I came across the UIPasteControl as an option for a user to tap to silently paste without having the prompt "Allow Paste" pop up. For some reason, despite having what seemingly is the correct configurations for the UIPasteControl, on testing a tap, nothing is called. I expected override func paste(itemProviders: [NSItemProvider]) to fire, but it does not. Any help would be appreciated as there doesn't seem to be much info anywhere regarding UIPasteControl. import UniformTypeIdentifiers class ViewController: UIViewController { private let pasteControl = UIPasteControl() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.backgroundColor = .systemBackground pasteControl.target = self pasteConfiguration = UIPasteConfiguration(acceptableTypeIdentifiers: [ UTType.text.identifier, UTType.url.identifier, UTType.plainText.identifier ]) view.addSubview(pasteControl) pasteControl.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ pasteControl.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor), pasteControl.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor), ]) } } extension ViewController { override func paste(itemProviders: [NSItemProvider]) { for provider in itemProviders { if provider.hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier(UTType.url.identifier) { provider.loadObject(ofClass: URL.self) { [weak self] reading, _ in guard let url = reading as? URL else { return } print(url) } } else if provider.hasItemConformingToTypeIdentifier(UTType.plainText.identifier) { provider.loadObject(ofClass: NSString.self) { [weak self] reading, _ in guard let nsstr = reading as? NSString else { return } let str = nsstr as String if let url = URL(string: str) { print(url) } } } } } }

Hi~ I implemented network filtering on iOS using NEFilterControlProvider and NEFilterDataProvider. However, I found that their usage is restricted when distributing in the App Store. Does ADEP-based distribution allow the use of NEFilterControlProvider and NEFilterDataProvider? In TN3134, it states that NEPacketTunnelProvider requires MDM. Should I assume that NEFilterControlProvider and NEFilterDataProvider also require MDM in the same way? thanks.

In an iPadOS SwiftUI app supporting multiple scenes, each Scene responds to a particular way in which the app was launched. If app was launched by tapping an associated file or a deep link (custom URL), then, the URLHandlerScene is invoked. If app was launched by QuickAction (long tap on the app icon), then another Scene is invoked etc. Each Scene has a purpose and responds to a particular launch. But after defining handlesExternlEvents(matching:) scene modifier, the scene was not getting launched when user taps the associated file or the app's Deeplinks was invoked. @main struct IOSSwiftUIScenesApp: App { var body: some Scene { DefaultScene() URLHandlerScene() .handlesExternalEvents(matching: ["file://"]) // Launched by an associated file .handlesExternalEvents(matching: ["Companion://"]) // Launched by Deeplink. // Other scenes } } struct URLHandlerScene: Scene { @State private var inputURL: URL // Store the incoming URL init() { self.inputURL = URL(string: "Temp://")! } var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { URLhandlerView(inputURL: $inputURL) .onOpenURL(perform: { (fileURL: URL) in log(String(format: "URLhandlerView().onOpenURL | Thread.current = %@", String(describing: Thread.current))) log("fileURL = " + String(describing: fileURL)) inputURL = fileURL }) } } } As shown above, I've attached handlesExternalEvents(matching:) modifier with "file://" for the associate file and "Companion" is my custom URL scheme. As per the scene matching rules documented here, my URLHandlerScene should get launched, but every time I launch the app using associated file or 'open' a Deeplink, the DefaultScene is always launched. What is missing here? Can someone please help?

I have an iOS app. When I install pods via CLI to my project for the first time, launch Xcode, and then run the app, everything works fine – no build errors. But after several instances of running the project on my device, all of a sudden build errors appear like: /Pods/FirebaseCrashlytics/Crashlytics/Crashlytics/Settings/Models/FIRCLSApplicationIdentifierModel.m:19:9 'Crashlytics/Shared/FIRCLSByteUtility.h' file not found /Pods/PostHog/vendor/libwebp/ph_sharpyuv_csp.h /Pods/PostHog/vendor/libwebp/ph_sharpyuv_csp.h: No such file or directory And I have no idea why if it's because of my PodFile or any Build Settings/Phases/Rules, but this keeps happening repeatedly and it's impossible to develop anything with this. I've tried a string of commands such as "pod deintegrate", "pod cache clean --all", removing PodFile.lock and doing pod install again, removing derived data, and cleaning build folder. I still keep running into the same build error and it's always after a few builds this happens, nothing is missing prior when the project successfully builds.

Hello, I am in a very similar situation as described in the thread: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/655183 Context: I am working on an app that receives data from a hardware device through its Wifi network, and the hardware is not connected to the internet. Now, I would need to call some API while still connected to hardware so I would need to use the cellular data. As mentioned on the thread, I can achieve this via Network framework, using the requiredInterfaceType property. But Is there any other way I can achieve this? I can also do some suggestion on the hardware if that's helpful. Thank you!

I've read in this post that in order to make the configuration of UIButton adjust my custom font's size automatically I need to add implementation to recalculate the font's size inside configurationUpdateHandler. But how would this look like? I also read something about matching the font's text style. But at this point I'm just guessing. Here's the code: let loginButton = UIButton(configuration: config, primaryAction: nil) loginButton.configurationUpdateHandler = { button in guard var config = button.configuration else { return } let traits = button.traitCollection let baseTitleFont = UIFont.customFont(ofSize: 18, weight: .semibold) let baseSubtitleFont = UIFont.customFont(ofSize: 18, weight: .regular) let scaledTitleFont = UIFontMetrics(forTextStyle: .body).scaledFont(for: baseTitleFont, compatibleWith: traits) let scaledSubtitleFont = UIFontMetrics(forTextStyle: .body).scaledFont(for: baseSubtitleFont, compatibleWith: traits) config.titleTextAttributesTransformer = UIConfigurationTextAttributesTransformer { incoming in var outgoing = incoming outgoing.font = scaledTitleFont return outgoing } config.subtitleTextAttributesTransformer = UIConfigurationTextAttributesTransformer { incoming in var outgoing = incoming outgoing.font = baseSubtitleFont return outgoing } button.configuration = config } Thanks in advance!

I have an iPhone 12 mini and I am currently using it as a modem for my router. Previously it was running iOS 14, but the DHCP on iOS 14 doesn't work and Apple didn't fix it until iOS 15. Recently I upgraded the system to iOS 18.4 to get DHCP back, but I got a bigger problem. The iPhone will restart itself after 3 days, and then I just lost internet connection. The hotspot will not be turned on until I climbed on my bookshelf to unlock my phone. After I googled it, I found that it is a feature that Apple introduced in iOS 18.1. While I couldn't find any setting to turn it off. If this cannot be controlled by the user, then it is anyway a BUG than a feature.
