I'm encountering a problem on some Iphone models with photo gallery authorization. On some devices, the authorization only displays "add photos" and "None". However, for many devices, most of them have "Full access", "Limited access" and "None" authorizations, which means that you can't access the gallery. Example of device affected by the bug: Iphone 11 IOS 17.3. I tested on an emulator with the same version, but it works with all 3 authorizations. In Info.plist , I have the following information: NSCameraUsageDescription The application wants to have access to your camera to help you add photos to your worksites. NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription The application wants access to your photos to help you add photos to your building sites. NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription The application wants access to your photos to help you add photos to your worksites.

Following the update to iOS 17.4.1, our team has observed a recurring issue across all iPhone browsers within our Virtual Try On web application. Specifically, when users switch between products, there's a disruption in camera permissions (changes to not allowed), resulting in a black screen appearing in the canvas where the live camera stream typically displays. We have noted that several users have reported experiencing the same issue. We kindly request your assistance in addressing this matter. Could you please provide guidance on any potential fixes or workarounds for this issue? Additionally, we would appreciate an estimated timeline for when a resolution might be expected. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to your prompt response and assistance in resolving this issue.

Hello Geeks, After testing our iOS app using MobSF, the report highlighted that the binary has Runpath Search Path (@rpath) set. In certain cases an attacker can abuse this feature to run arbitrary executable for code execution and privilege escalation.

 The Runpath Search Path directs the dynamic linker to search for dynamic libraries (dylibs) in a specified order of paths, similar to how Unix searches for binaries in $PATH. However, this setup introduces a vulnerability wherein an attacker could place a malicious dylib in one of the initial paths, thereby hijacking the legitimate library sought by the linker.

 Despite attempting to manually strip the binary following instructions from https://inesmartins.github.io/mobsf-ipa-binary-analysis-step-by-step/index.html, the same warnings persist in the report. We urgently seek assistance in resolving this issue and eagerly await your response.

Hello Everyone, I am having a problem here with my app. I developed a timer that play a sound .mp3 and the sound play every time that the timer start and finish. Everything works very well in the simulator but not on the devices after I distribute the build and install using the testflight. I saw the build content and the file is inside. However, I have no idea what I am doing wrong (if it is some option that i forgot to check or some problem in my code). Please, somebody can help me? Here is the func with the path. (I inserted the sound on the root) in the same place that we can find the Contentview. func playFinishSound() { guard let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "finish_sound", withExtension: "mp3") else { return } do { player = try AVAudioPlayer(contentsOf: url) player?.play() } catch { print("Error playing finish sound") } } } Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate. Antonio

hi. I've come across a UI-related bug. It's not a critical issue, but I'm curious whether it's actually a bug or an intended result. Enable "Dark Mode" on your device. Set Safari to "single tab" mode in the settings. Open the iOS browser. Switch to "Private Browsing" mode. When swiping up, the background of the top toolbar (including the status bar) becomes translucent, revealing the content behind it. When I turn on the 'Reduce Transparency' setting, the issue does not occur, and the background content remains hidden as expected. iPhone12 mini / iOS 17.0.1 thx!

I am using CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() and CLBackgroundActivitySession to receive background location updates. My app has "Always" authorization, but I can not get rid of the top left "Blue bar" in any way except for by manually closing the app (swipe up in multi-app preview view). I have tried setting CLLocationManager.showsBackgroundLocationIndicator = false but it does not make any difference. How can I get rid of the blue bar in the top left corner? My project started from this WWDC23 sample code Has "always" location authorisation through CLLocationManager.requestAlwaysAuthorization() Has UIBackgroundModes - location set in Info.plist Tested multiple days with a real iPhone 14, iOS 17.2 (although an iPhone SE gen2 iOS 17.2 seems to loose the blue bar after a while)

We have a relatively simple app that using Network.Framework, NWConnection, NWEndpoint to setup TCP connections with nearby devices also using the app. It's actually been working great for a while now but we've recently noticed with iOS 17.4/17.4.1 that we're spontaneously getting: nw_proto_tcp_route_init [C6:3] no mtu received sometimes the [C6:3] will be [C7:3] or another similar code. We may also occasionally see No route to Host appear in our console logs though this isn't definite. After this point the connection is effectively lost but we don't actually receive any updates on our NWConnection stateUpdateHandler to action on. It's sort of dead in the water so to speak. We've reproduced this issue with multiple devices on iOS 17.4.x and in multiple network settings (in office, cafe, home networks...etc). Nothing seems to make a difference. Any ideas on how to fix or workaround this? I saw a similar issue here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/669519 but the original author never followed up and it's around 3 years old. I've captured a sysdiagnose log and can submit an issue if it warrants filing a bug report.

We've been using network framework for peer to peer connectivity since iOS 15. Since the introduction of iOS 17 we've been getting the following for our NWListener when attempting to establish a connection with any multipathServiceType enabled. We're not doing anything special here. On iOS 17.x devices (we've tested 17.1, 17.2, 17.4) we simply enable multipath services by adding the multipath capability and then setting multipathServiceType to .handover or .interactive on our NWParameters. The devices never connect when we try establish an NWConnection. This works on all non-iOS 17.x devices. This is reproducible using the Apple Peer-to-Peer NWConnection TicTacToe sample code.

This error only occurs in device with 17.4.1 OS. Can anyone please help me in this ?

Shouldn't Siri use iCloud to post alarms for ALL my devices?

We've encountered a problem that only occurs on the iPhone 15 Pro Max running the 17.4.1 system. Specifically, when we are operating an app, the phone suddenly goes to a black screen, then the system's loading animation appears, and after the animation ends, the lock screen page appears. The whole phenomenon looks like the phone has restarted, but we haven't found any panic full files in the system logs. Therefore, we are at a loss as to how to solve this problem. Can you offer some assistance? This is a video of the issue occurring：https://watch.wave.video/yg2Oph4n4bfdMQeF

Hi We are developing iOS app using react native. Vscode is used as IDE. when we build the project in Xcode build is successful. But when we try to run it on Xcode simulator the recent changes are not visible. The build is having only the older changes. Please guide us in resolving this.

Hello, I recently ran a virus/malware scan on my dev machine using ClamAV, this was run via macOS Terminal using the 'clamscan' function. Everything came back okay except a keylogger in the ProVideo Framework for physical iOS Test Devices. Please see below for 'clamscan' output: /Users/username/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport/iPad8,11 17.4 (21E219)/Symbols/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ProVideo.framework/ProVideo: Unix.Keylogger.Macos-10023932-0 FOUND My understanding is that '/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport/' is where Xcode keeps the files related to physical test devices that are required for debug. There were 3 Instances of this keylogger, all of which corresponded to physical devices I own and iOS Versions that I have installed / were installed. Can anyone verify if 'Unix.Keylogger.Macos-10023932-0' is a valid file that ClamAV is incorrectly detecting as malicious? If it is a valid debug file provided by Apple, it seems strange that it's located in the ProVideo Framework. I couldn't find any documentation online about this so any information would be appreciated. At this stage I have deleted the contents of '/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS DeviceSupport/', my understanding is that these symbols are only transferred to the system when I test software via Xcode on a physical device and will not reproduce until I do that again. To me it's unclear if perhaps this keylogger is present on my iOS Device and is being transferred to the Mac via Xcode? Or somehow it is just appearing in this folder? Thanks!

What I mean is an AirTag-type device that doesn't make noise so thieves can't detect it, but shoots you a text or alert if your car moves more than five feet after you have activated it. No one uses my car but me, so I know that if I get an alert that my car is moving, it's either being stolen or towed. Thanks!

I've encountered a strange issue reading characteristics from a BLE device using CoreBluetooth ONLY ON iPHONE 12 AND iPHONE 12 PRO. The problem is that the BLE device receives a read characteristic request for an errored characteristic id. The BLE Device is using blue kitchen btstack (https://github.com/bluekitchen/btstack). We also filed a bug report on their side here Say i ask for a characteristic discovered with CBUUID "F97A6DA4-B3AA-44B0-8DE7-40D238BE5E02", the device receives a request for a "F97A6DA4-B3AA-44B0-8DE7-40D238BE5E09" id. The exact same swift code is working perfectly on MacOS, reading the right characteristic on the device. I is also perfectly fine, tested on various iOS versions on iPhone 8, SE (1st gen), 11, 13, 15. The only devices affected are the 12 & 12 Pro. I also tried using popular apps like light blue, or nRF Connect for iOS, and the iOS app has the same behavior on iPhone 12 & 12 Pro (that is wrong), but is ok on other iPhone devices. Has anyone encountered such a strange behavior and have any insight on how to solve that ?

Despite the iPhone 11 running iOS version 17.4.1 and the Apple Watch Series 3 operating on version 8.8.1, and both devices being connected, the Apple Watch remains undetected within Xcode version 15.3.

Consider a scenario where you are in an active voice call and your iPhone is switched off due to low / zero battery charge. You plug in to charging and wait for iPhone to turn on. Now check the call records / phone app (Recents) and notice that previous call entry is missing in the list. Is this a bug I noticed? Or is it design behavior and requires improvement? Seems like call entry is recorded only after the call is ended (or dropped) voluntary by the user. In case of iPhone is turned off due to low battery condition, code that audits this phone activity never gets a chance to run.

Previously iCloud Drive worked fine on my iPhone (15 Pro), but within the last couple of months it seems to have died. It continues to work fine on other connected devices (iPad, MBP etc), but will not work on iPhone. This issue seemed to begin roughly around the early 17.4 betas, but was also present in the public release and has continued on to the current 17.5 betas. I initially noticed WhatsApp couldn't back up to iCloud despite all the options being turned on. I assumed this was a WhatsApp issue. But I've recently noticed that Castro hangs on every single load and then crashes. I know that Castro does an initial call to iCloud to check back-ups etc so I went to have a look at iCloud Drive itself on my device - every single time I open Files, iCloud Drive takes 10-15 minutes to load/show anything. So it seems that iCloud Drive is not "holding" any information/content and is then taking an age to load, which is causing these other apps to time-out and crash. Turning off iCloud Drive on the device (a 35 minute waiting process) stops the issues and the apps work fine (aside from now not being able to back-up to iCloud as it's off), but resetting, allowing to re-sync again, does not resolve the issue on the device at all, and if it's turned back on, the apps begin to fail again, and even after a full re-sync it takes 10-15 minutes to load every time. To note; my connection is not an issue, and I have more than enough space on-device to cache/store stuff that's required. Any thoughts on what could be causing the issue and how to resolve?

I'm getting a report from QA that an App which normally launches from the background through significant location monitoring does not launch after the phone was restarted and the device was never unlocked. I have no idea how or where I would begin with a diagnosis of this. Anyone have any ideas? iOS: 17.2.1

Every time there is an iOS update, the number of icons on assistive touch gets reset to 7 altering the layout of my personalised 5 icon menu, this is inconvenient as I use 5 icons. In an event of iOS update I have to go into menu and manually change it back to 5. I don't imagine iOS update needs to default it to 7 icons, rather it could just leave it as set by the user.
