I am using the Call Range Blocker App (App URL: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/call-ranger-spam-call-blocker/id1154832936) to block unwanted calls, so my phone doesn’t ring. However, despite being blocked, these calls still appear as unanswered calls in the call history, which is very frustrating. When users block a number, they expect to block all communication from that number, including call logs. When I contacted the app developer, I was informed that after iOS 18, blocked calls are still showing up as unanswered calls in the call history. I kindly request that Apple’s iOS development team look into this issue and address it in the next update. It is quite annoying to see blocked calls appear in the recent call history, and users would prefer not to have them show up at all. Thank you John

While I found a solution to check if debugger is attached to a process following this Q&A. My query is mostly with regards to distribution aspect to it. My use-case is to have this check as an SDK that is shipped as XCFramework. I have verified no submission error being generated if app including this code is submitted to TestFlight. However, I am unsure what will happen if app having this check is submitted to appstore. Will this submission be rejected? Or having this check in an appstore submitted app doesn't impact anything?

Background: We are using Apple WeatherKit for an app to fetch future weather data specialty cloudCover and condition and pretipitationChance from the Overnightforecast data from weatherResponse.dailyForecast.forecast array object. Code Sample: On xcode on Swift and Swift UI using Apple WeatherKit task{ do{ let weatherResponse= try await self.weatherService.forecast(for: latLong) let cloudCover = weatherResponse.dailyForecast.forecast[0].overnightforecast.cloudCover Issue: While we are on debug mode, we can literally see overnightforecast.cloudCover data (as well as condition and pretipitationChance) is available under from index 0 to index 10 of weatherResponse.dailyForecast.forecast array object but when we are trying to assign this property, its throwing error as "overnightforecast object not present under weatherResponse.dailyForecast.forecast array object" Attachment:

I add the following info in the build settings of my app. Then I also add the icon to my asset. I build the app, it works normally, but I notice that when I changed the icon to 'AppIcon-Defaults', The icon change alert didn't appear. but it succeeds . I uploaded the archive to App Store I got: ITMS-90895: Missing Icon - The Info.plist key CFBundleIcons.CFBundleAlternateIcons contains an entry “AppIcon-Defaults” that references asset “AppIcon-Defaults.” No such asset is present in the asset catalog. Then I use xcrun --sdk iphoneos assetutil --info Assets.car to check the assets inside the archieved app, It have the asset.

I’ve never had a problem with any update before but as soon as I updated to 18.3 update my camera decided to start blurring when it’s in 1x & 2x, I use my camera daily for work and this is unacceptable. I’m wondering if anyone else is having this issue, it’s really frustrating..

I cannot pair my PHONAK hearing aids after I upgraded to iOS 18.3 under hearing devices, it just keeps on switching will not find anything. I’ve undelete them and reinstall them four times. Uninstalled the app. Under Bluetooth, it finds it and has it. But under hearing devices where I can control everything it will not. Once I add the hearing aids, my phone goes completely silent. I do not know if anyone calls or texts me

Hello, I've been using the @Environment(\.dismiss) var dismiss in a SwiftUI app for the last 2 years which means it was working as expected in iOS 16, iOS 17 and for the most part iOS 18 up until iOS 18.2.1 in which it is causing an endless loop and eventually a crash. It seems to be something about using a the @Environment(\.dismiss) with a NavigationLink which seems to cause this issue. When I add a log in my swiftUI views with let _ = Self._printChanges(), I see the following printed out in a loop: CurrentProjectView: _dismiss changed. SurveyView: @self changed. Similar issues have been reported: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/720803 https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/739512 Any idea how to resolve this ?

In my app SexyPeri (https://apps.apple.com/fr/app/id6738291985), I create an album with some pics Album is called SexyPeri Now, I wish to redirect the user from my app SexyPeri DIRECTLY to the album SexyPeri There is no doc about your scheme photos-navigation, or I didn't see it. Some guys retro-engineered it, but I couldn't make this work. photos-navigation://album?name=SexyPeri doesn't work. So my question is: how can I redirect to the album directly ?

I have os_log statements in my app. With my phone connected to the Mac, when I run the app through XCode, open Console app, those logs are shown. However, when I'm launching the app on its own, those logs don't appear in Console (phone still connected). Am I missing something very basic? Please help.

When building in Xcode 15.4 debug, only a part of the initial View for List is initialized. As you scroll, new ones are initialized, and old ones are destroyed. When building the same code in Xcode 16.2, ALL Views are initialized first, and then immediately destroyed as you scroll, new ones are initialized, and old ones are destroyed. MRE: struct ContentView: View { private let arr = Array(1...5555) var body: some View { List(arr, id: \.self) { ListCellView(number: $0) } } } struct ListCellView: View { private let number: Int private let arr: [Int] @StateObject private var vm: ListCellViewModel // Just to print init/deinit init(number: Int) { print(#function, Self.self, number) self.arr = Array(0...number) self.number = number let vm = ListCellViewModel(number: number) // To see duplicates of init self._vm = StateObject(wrappedValue: vm) // because here is @autoclosure } var body: some View { let _ = print(#function, Self.self, number) Text("\(number)") } } class ListCellViewModel: ObservableObject { private let number: Int init(number: Int) { print(#function, Self.self, number) self.number = number } deinit { print(#function, Self.self, number) } } An example from a memory report with this code: Fortunately, the behavior in release mode is the same as in Xcode 15.4. However, the double initialization of Views is still present and has not been fixed. ... init(number:) ListCellView 42 init(number:) ListCellViewModel 42 init(number:) ListCellView 42 init(number:) ListCellViewModel 42 deinit ListCellViewModel 42 body ListCellView 42 Yes, unnecessary View initializations and extra body calls are "normal" for SwiftUI, but why do they here twice so that one is discarded immediately?

We are currently using Single Sign-On (SSO) for user authentication within our app, which is presented through a web view. This web view includes a cookie banner that allows users to either accept, reject all, or manage cookies. In some reviews, Apple suggests implementing App Tracking Transparency (ATT) if cookies are used. In other reviews, Apple may refer to guideline 5.1.2, which states: “Revise the app so that users are not required to enable tracking in order to access the app's content and functionality.” I have a few questions regarding the interaction between ATT and the cookie banner: 1 Is App Tracking Transparency required for the cookie banner?
If yes, iOS developers have no direct control over the cookies used on the webpage when the user selects "Ask App Not to Track" or "Allow". Despite this selection, the cookie banner still appears, prompting the user to accept or reject cookies. 2 How should App Tracking Transparency be implemented when a cookie banner is presented on a web page within an iOS app?
Since iOS developers do not have control over the cookies stored in the web view, is there a way to manage this interaction so that users aren't repeatedly prompted by the cookie banner after selecting their tracking preference in ATT? I would appreciate any guidance you can provide on how to properly implement ATT in this scenario, particularly when a web page within the app displays a cookie consent banner.

Hello Dear Developers, Is it only to me or in iOS 18 there's a problem with Settings.bundle, Im using my settings.bundle to set my enivement for my app but after upgrading to iOS 18 I can't see my Settings.Bundle in my settings iphone, just to mention that I also updated my xcode to 16. Anyone who has occur with this problem? :)

Hello, I am studying a possible scenario. Let's say I create an App Clip that features a WKWebView. The WKWebView hosts a sort of webapp that uses local storage and IndexDB. When the complete app is installed, are the data persisted so the WKWebView of the complete app finds them as it was reading them before? Are the data transferred by the operating system to a new location but still accessed the same way by the WKWebView (Or even the location is the same because it is the WKWebView special storage)? Or are they wiped out? Thank you in advance Best regards

I'm trying to persist a bookmark to an external device (mass storage controller connected via camera adapter) across disconnection / reconnection, but it is failing at startAccessingSecurityScopedResource. The URL is initially retrieved using UIDocumentPickerViewController *documentProvider; documentProvider = [[UIDocumentPickerViewController alloc] initForOpeningContentTypes:[NSArray arrayWithObjects:UTTypeFolder, nil]]; documentProvider.delegate = self; documentProvider.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverFullScreen; [self presentViewController:documentProvider animated:YES completion:nil]; and then persisted to a bookmark using DeviceBookmark = [url bookmarkDataWithOptions:NSURLBookmarkCreationMinimalBookmark includingResourceValuesForKeys:nil relativeToURL:nil error:nil] When accessing the resource I use NSURL *url = [NSURL URLByResolvingBookmarkData:DeviceBookmark options:NSURLBookmarkResolutionWithoutUI relativeToURL:nil bookmarkDataIsStale:&isStale error:&error] to retrieve the new URL. If I don't remove the MSC then the retrieved URL remains the same and functions as expected. If I remove and reconnect the MSC then the URL changes, I get true for isStale and nil for error but startAccessingSecurityScopedResource fails. I've been banging my head against this for about a day now, but can't see what the issue can be. I've tried adding some related permissions to the entitlements, but this seems to be macOS related as far as I can tell. What am I missing?!

I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer to save, edit, and delete items, but it only works half of the time. When I delete an item and terminate the app and repoen, sometimes the item is still there and sometimes it isn't. The operations are simple enough: moc.delete(thing) try? moc.save() Here is my DataController. I'm happy to provide more info as needed class DataController: ObservableObject { let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer @Published var moc: NSManagedObjectContext init() { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "AppName") container.loadPersistentStores { description, error in if let error = error { print("Core Data failed to load: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } #if DEBUG do { try container.initializeCloudKitSchema(options: []) } catch { print("Error initializing CloudKit schema: \(error.localizedDescription)") } #endif moc = container.viewContext } }

I'm experiencing an inconsistent behavior with the App Tracking Transparency (ATT) prompt in my Cordova iOS app using the admob-plus-cordova and cordova-plugin-consent plugins. Environment: Cordova iOS app Plugins: admob-plus-cordova, cordova-plugin-consent iOS Simulator: 16.0 Physical device: iphone 12 17.5.1 Xcode version: 16.2 Issue: The ATT permission prompt appears correctly in the iOS Simulator but fails to show on physical devices. I've verified that: Info.plist includes NSUserTrackingUsageDescription The ATT request is triggered before initializing AdMob The device is running iOS 14.5 or later Expected behavior: ATT prompt should appear on first launch on physical devices (as it does in the simulator) Actual behavior: ATT prompt appears correctly in simulator [attach your screenshot] ATT prompt never appears on physical device Troubleshooting steps tried: Verified app hasn't previously requested ATT permission Confirmed tracking is enabled in device Settings -> Privacy -> Tracking Verified implementation order (ATT request before AdMob initialization) Any insights on why this might be happening or additional debugging steps would be greatly appreciated.

I have a question regarding specifying URLs for a Message Filter App Extension. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/identitylookup/creating-a-message-filter-app-extension The documentation states “If you have servers that can help your app extension determine how to handle a message, you must add the Associated Domains capability to your Xcode project and specify those domains.” The term servers and domains is specified in the plural, and adding two occurrences of ILMessageFilterExtensionNetworkURL to the info.plist doesn’t cause a build error. So the first question is: 1.What is the behaviour of the OS when two instances of ILMessageFilterExtensionNetworkURL but specifying different urls is defined? Does the OS, for example always try one url first, and if that doesn’t respond after N seconds, it attempts the second one? Can the Message Filter Extension indicate which of multiple defined ILMessageFilterExtensionNetworkURL should be used at run time? 3.How does the OS behave if a URL specified for ILMessageFilterExtensionNetworkURL resolves to two VIPs? Will the OS retry if the first VIP is not accessible (similar to any typical browser or web application behavior). Thank you

If I run an app with a Message Filter Extension on iOS 18 then it works as expected, however if its installed onto a phone with iOS 17.6.1 then there is the following error: dyld[1042]: Symbol not found: _$sSo40ILMessageFilterCapabilitiesQueryResponseC14IdentityLookupE21promotionalSubActionsSaySo0abI6ActionVGvs Referenced from: <C82A1045-98F4-3751-8080-413FD0B0DEEB> /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/F295C156-9B20-4927-AEFA-C6983388B193/Myapp.app/PlugIns/MyMessageFilterExtension.appex/CequintTextFilterExtension.debug.dylib Expected in: <29BFFA34-9B52-3D14-A254-A0653545B72E> /System/Library/Frameworks/IdentityLookup.framework/IdentityLookup (App built using XCode 16.2). Here's code causing the issue: import IdentityLookup final class MessageFilterExtension: ILMessageFilterExtension {} extension MessageFilterExtension: ILMessageFilterQueryHandling, ILMessageFilterCapabilitiesQueryHandling { func handle(_ capabilitiesQueryRequest: ILMessageFilterCapabilitiesQueryRequest, context: ILMessageFilterExtensionContext, completion: @escaping (ILMessageFilterCapabilitiesQueryResponse) -> Void) { let response = ILMessageFilterCapabilitiesQueryResponse() response.transactionalSubActions = [.transactionalCarrier, .transactionalHealth, .transactionalPublicServices, .transactionalFinance, .transactionalWeather, .transactionalRewards, .transactionalOrders, .transactionalOthers, .transactionalReminders] response.promotionalSubActions = [.promotionalOffers, .promotionalOthers, .promotionalCoupons] completion(response) } Message filter sub actions were introduced in iOS 16, so why is this error occurring when the code is run on iOS 17, but its fine with iOS 18? This isn't specific to my app, its easily reproducable in two minutes - create an app, add a message filter extension target, change the template code to add a transactional or promotional sub action and then run and it'll occur.

when we launch the application and change the language from german/french to english or any other language then in also it is changing app language, but bluetooth connection screen with pair or cancel alert is showing on previous selected language. Since that alert is system alert, is there any wayto debug/resolve that issue.

One of my clients is interested in developing a system similar to BrowserStack for internal team usage. Could you please guide me on how to approach the development of this system? Specifically, the project requires: Full iPhone screen recording. Capturing and executing click events on the iPhone. Do I need to obtain permission from Apple for these functionalities?
