In my Catalyst app I use func setupMailComposer() { // Check if the device can send email guard MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() else { print("Mail services are not available") showMailErrorAlert() return } // Create and configure the mail composer let mailComposeVC = MFMailComposeViewController() mailComposeVC.mailComposeDelegate = self // Set the email details mailComposeVC.setToRecipients(["example@example.com"]) mailComposeVC.setSubject("Subject for your email") mailComposeVC.setMessageBody("This is the body of the email.", isHTML: false) // Attach a file (optional) if let filePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "example", ofType: "pdf"), let fileData = try? Data(contentsOf: URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath)) { mailComposeVC.addAttachmentData(fileData, mimeType: "application/pdf", fileName: "example.pdf") } // Present the mail composer self.present(mailComposeVC, animated: true, completion: nil) } Since I have updated to macOS 15.1 the canSendMail() function returns false although I have configured Apple Mail (like before in 15.0 where it worked flawlessly).

Issue: Using Messages in macOS Sequoia, I stop receiving any messages after 7+ hrs of the system being on. Troubleshooting: any messages sent to the target account doesn't show up when this issue occurs. I'm able to send messages from the target account which is received. only way to get it working is to reboot the computer but those messages sent never arrive to the target account even after reboot. upon reboot the behavior functions as expected. however the issue returns after 7hrs+ after reboot. logout and log back in when the system is in this state doesn't resolve the issue. only a reboot but the issues eventually returns. note the 7hrs+ is tested and is more accurately 7-10 hrs.

We recently began getting reports that when posts are shared via Messages the rich preview will display an unrelated image from an altogether different post. The correct open graph image appears when sharing via every other platform we've tried (Slack, Whatsapp, Twitter/X) and the og:image tag refers to the appropriate image url. The image Messages uses in the rich preview only appears in an unrelated metadata tag that includes data for multiple recent posts. Has anyone else encountered this?

Hey Chat, I'm researching personality analysis using LLMs, and I'm curious about whether Apple’s AI can be allowed access to your messages, Instagram DMs, and similar communications to perform a personality analysis based on your writing style. If anyone has insights on this, I would greatly appreciate your input. Thx a ton

I’ve not been able to save stickers ever since getting the iPhone 16. I can long click a picture and click “add sticker” but it only stays for a bout a second and disappears. Alternatively I can use the ”add sticker button” on the stickers widget and It will stay while the widget is open but does not remain ready for use. Please help, this has been going on for at least 2 months. Video Icloud Link: https://share.icloud.com/photos/004_0xVjBtdAPYzaHl9rH8Jcw

I am working on a sticker app and I am building a custom sticker app in SwiftUI. I have created a custom UIViewRepresentable to allow a MSStickerView to be displayed in SwiftUI. I have local *.gif files in my project and I am loading them into the MSStickerView successfully, however when they are loaded in my iMessage sticker extension the stickers are not animating by default. When I tap on the MSStickerView the gif begins to animate, I'm not sure what else I can do to get this working properly in my app. Some sample code below: public struct CustomStickerView: UIViewRepresentable { var sticker: CustomSticker public init(sticker: CustomSticker) { self.sticker = sticker } public func makeUIView(context: Context) -> MSStickerView { let v = MSStickerView() if sticker.fileType == .gif { v.startAnimating() } return v } public func updateUIView(_ uiView: MSStickerView, context: Context) { uiView.sticker = sticker.sticker } } // CustomSticker public var sticker: MSSticker? { guard let imagePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: name, ofType: ".\(fileType.rawValue)") else { print("Failed to get sticker - \(name).\(fileType.rawValue)") return nil } let path = URL(fileURLWithPath: imagePath) return try? MSSticker(contentsOfFileURL: path, localizedDescription: name) }

Stickerpack runs and builds successfully on iPhone 16 simulator, but on a real iPhone (14 connected trough a cable and with developer options enabled) it builds successfully, but when opening the pack in iMessage, there is nothing shown in the sticker browser and Xcode shows the following error: Could not attach to pid : “662” “com.[name].[name].StickerPackExtension” failed to launch or exited before the debugger could attach to it.

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?

Anne has two phone numbers, work and personal. Beth saved both phone numbers for Anne under one contact profile. When Beth sends a text to Anne's work phone, it is received on Anne's personal phone instead. We have verified only one phone number is set up under Messages settings, signed out of messages, restarted the phones. Any other fixes or suggestions?

Our App Clips have been approved for about a week. However, our App Clips are not loading or previewing in iMessage. My friend and I both have an iPhone with iOS 18. Our App Clip minimum target is iOS 17. For both of us, the App Clip previews aren't loading in iMessage (see image below). But this isn't right—App Clips generally SHOULD preview in iMessage. For reference, when I send my friend an Instagram post URL, the app clip DOES load & preview in iMessage—suggesting it's just an issue with 222's App Clips. In the iMessage screenshot... the top url is https://rsvp.222.place/?id=0034d4c8-7dcd-44bf-89df-6dc1acd806d2 The bottom url is https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=place.twotwotwo.twotwotwo-ios.Clip (default App Clip Link) When I run either of these URLs in App Clip Diagnostics in Settings -> Developer, both of them are marked as approved and ready to go.

Before 18.2 when we swipe email left, the sending address was visible. Now the first line of the email is visible. So now to block scam/spoof mail we have to actually open the email, tap on the sender, then close email, then block. Can we at least have an option to choose? The new set up is both cumbersome and time consuming.

I'm trying to add an iMessage extension to my app, and upon adding the iMessage App Icon set, I ran into an issue with one specific icon size: 1024x768px, aka 1x 1024x768pt. When I remove this one icon from the icon set, it compiles and runs fine, however I can't push it to the App Store as I get the error: "Asset validation failed. Missing Image Asset. Your app is missing the Large App Icon asset 'AppIcon' in 'Payload/Runner.app/PlugIns/MessagesExtension.appex'." I'm assuming this refers to 1024x768px, as this size placeholder appears upon adding a New Messages Extension Icon to my assets folder, and 1024x1024 is already included and compiles fine with it. However, when I add the 1024x768 icon, and try to run the app, I get the error: "Command CompileAssetCatalog failed with a nonzero exit code" The app icon's filename is correct, it is exactly 1024x768 px, and my contents.json correctly includes : { "filename" : "AppIcon_1024x768.png", "idiom" : "ios-marketing", "platform" : "ios", "scale" : "1x", "size" : "1024x768" } as is the same format for all of my other icons that work. Why am I running into this issue upon inclusion of this one required size? How do I fix it?

Apple Watch doesn't vibrate for notifications version: 11.1 help please

How do I search for messages on iPhone by date? Running iOS 18.1. In the Spotlight feature, if I type “messages on 10/14” the top 3 results are messages on that date. But if I tap “search in app” I’m brought to a blank messages screen. This function would help me with work so much, and it’s like we’re almost there- but not. thanks!

Hi Team, The Messages app is not working in the latest macOS Sequoia 15.0.1. We are unable to send messages or sync them when the VPN/TransparentAppProxy is connected. It was working fine in macOS 15.0 and earlier. A few users have reported the issue here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255802764?sortBy=rank

On first installation of the sample app of iMessage Extension from apple the app icon visible, but after I uninstalled it and again installed the app, the app icon is not visible. Here is the screenshot and the apple sample app. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/messages/icecreambuilder-building-an-imessage-extension

The Tapback emojis are blue the only one with color is the heart i can see responses in color and the recipient sees mine in color it’s just on my end

My server that backs my Message Filter Extension stopped receiving messages last night. I thought maybe I had broken something in the iOS code, even though I hadn't touched any of the logic related to filtering. So I rolled back my code to a previous version that was definitely working in both test and production and ran it on my test device, setting a breakpoint on the first line of the func handle(_ queryRequest: ILMessageFilterQueryRequest, context: ILMessageFilterExtensionContext, completion: @escaping (ILMessageFilterQueryResponse) -> Void) method in the extension. When sending a message to it from an unknown number, the breakpoint is never even hit. To ensure it was somehow not my code, I started a new blank app and added the Message Filter Extension target. Running it on my test device, it also doesn't ever hit the breakpoint. Is there some Apple service involved in determining whether to send unknown sender messages to Message Filter Extensions that might be down. Maybe it's a beta issue? I'm on iOS 18.1 Beta 4. But it seems odd that all of my users' devices would be encountering a beta-related issue at essentially the same time.
