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. Please verify that “com.[name].[name].StickerPackExtension” has a valid code signature that permits it to be launched on “iPhone([name])”.

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?
