[Detailed feedback FB15232205] Since I restored my new iPhone 16 Pro from a previous iPhone 15 Pro backup, I can't use stickers any more. The stickers gallery is filled with clear stickers that I can't interact with. Deleting does nothing. I also can't add new stickers. They appear for a second and then disappear again. iCloud sync is also not working. Other devices are fine. When restoring the phone without backup, everything works fine. Is it possible this is caused by the iOS 18.0 version that's shipping with the new iPhones? I was only offered another iOS 18.0 update in Settings later on. Updating to 18.1 beta 5 today did not fix it either. From what I gather from the logs, there's a database corruption happening. I've seen various posts across the internet who have this issue specifically after setting up their new iPhone. fehler 22:08:24.677501+0200 stickersd error: (11) Fatal error.

Can someone confirm this is supposed to be happening after all these years. I have noticed that now when I delete the messages from my Apple Watch (IOS11) they are now deleting from my phone (IOS18). I was glad I noticed and was able to recover them but I almost lost some impoRyan messages. I did do a test and confirm this is true. But the question is, is this supposed to be happening and if so is there a way to disable only this sync? I like to try and keep the messages icon on the watch clean since when I read the messag on my phone it does sync read on the watch and leaves the unread number on the icon.

Hi, I'd like to develop sticker packs for iMessage. In particular, I'd like to have custom UIs so user can select different groups of stickers under the same sticker drawer. Based on what I read in the developer doc, sticker pack does not allow custom UIs, and I have to go to iMessage apps. However, I discovered quite a few sticker packs have custom UIs. For example, GIPHY, Fluffcorn, Animal Stickers, Mochj Cat, they are in sticker drawer but they still have custom UIs with tabs. How is this possible? Is there something I'm missing from the developer doc? Thanks a lot!

I'm having issues using Imessage with OS 18. Android user are not receiving text message from a new group created with OS18. I added new users to a chat that we have been using for over a year. After upgrading to OS18 I was hoping I could add additional members without creating a new group, that apparently is not able to happen. What is happening, some folks with Android phones are not getting the text messages. These are members that have been on the group for sometime. Not sure if its all or some because I do not know who has what phone but it is indeed frustrating. I have tried turning off and on RCS and rebooting when I make the changes. I was under the impression OS18 would solve some of the incompatibility issues.

If I run an app with a message filter extension on < iOS 18 everything is as expected, if I run the same app, without any changes on iOS 18 then it doesn't work. I've discovered that problems occur if the extension has the following code: 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.transactionalSubActions = [.transactionalFinance, .transactionalOrders, .transactionalHealth] completion(response) } This code doesn't run on iOS 18, however the following code does run on iOS 18: let response = ILMessageFilterCapabilitiesQueryResponse() completion(response) I downloaded several apps from the app store which provide message filtering, within the Message app they all had one thing in common, on < iOS 18 they all show 12 filtering categories, but within iOS 18 they only show 2. So it seems the issue is endemic and effects other apps, not just mine.

Messages have disappeared after the iOS 18 b 3 update. It isn’t even shown as an option. Where did it go and when do we get it back?

I am sure others will agree with me on this. I personally don’t like the way the new reactions look. Too many different color for the reactions. I honestly prefer the old grey version for the reactions to text messages. The extra emoji thing is okay but the change in color for the heart, thumbs up and the other reactions are not the best. Auto correct is horrible in this new update by the way

I have 5 sticker packs in the App Store. I had an older Mac and it finally was too old for more MacOS updates and therefore too old to update xCode, so I haven't done any updates to my packs or looked at xCode in nearly 3 years. I FINALLY got a new Mac. I've got xCode 15 installed and with latest updates - and it looks so foreign! Things I can't find: Where in xCode can I change the version and build #? This used to be so obvious. I decided to start from scratch with my project. Clicked on new Sticker Pack App. Dragged in my icons and stickers and new updates I've created. When I went to archive, it says it can't because it already exists. Oh boy. In addition to this, I'm also lost on how to put in ALT tags for accessibility. This was also super obvious in the version of xCode I was using 3 years ago - I could click on each sticker and in the right pane I could put in the words for voice over for visually impaired. Now that is gone. One of my reviews thanked me for making my sticker pack accessible. I don't want to lose that ability - but I cannot find out where the heck it's hiding. The OnDemand Resource Tags definitely aren't it - since adding info in one puts the same tags on ALL the stickers.

The following code runs fine on iPhone with iOS < 18 However with iOS 18 (Release Candidate) it causes a crash of the extension extension MessageFilterExtension: ILMessageFilterQueryHandling, ILMessageFilterCapabilitiesQueryHandling { @available(iOSApplicationExtension 16.0, *) func handle(_ capabilitiesQueryRequest: ILMessageFilterCapabilitiesQueryRequest, context: ILMessageFilterExtensionContext, completion: @escaping (ILMessageFilterCapabilitiesQueryResponse) -> Void) { let response = ILMessageFilterCapabilitiesQueryResponse() response.promotionalSubActions = [ILMessageFilterSubAction.promotionalOffers] completion(response) } The problem specifically is the line: response.promotionalSubActions = [ILMessageFilterSubAction.promotionalOffers] Attempting to set a promotionalSubAction (or a transactional sub action) results in an exception with error: '/usr/lib/swift/libswiftIdentityLookup.dylib' (no such file)` This only occurs with iOS 18, and it doesn't occur if no subactions are set

Feedback on Documentation Page for Message Filter App Extension Documentation: Creating a Message Filter App Extension Hello, I am writing to provide feedback on the documentation for creating a message filter app extension. We followed the instructions on the page, particularly the section regarding setting up shared credentials. The instructions state: "Then, you must set up shared credentials as described in Shared Web Credentials, substituting messagefilter for webcredentials throughout the steps. Lastly, you must specify the domains in your Info.plist file, which should look similar to the dictionary shown below." However, when we tried to implement this, we encountered the following error while attempting to save credentials via the SecAddSharedWebCredential function from the message filter extension: Error Domain=com.apple.security.xpc Code=3 "<connection: 0x12e0d4500> { name = com.apple.securityd, listener = false, pid = 0, euid = 4294967295, egid = 4294967295, asid = 4294967295 }: Connection invalid - failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction" UserInfo={numberOfErrorsDeep=0, NSDescription=<connection: 0x12e0d4500> { name = com.apple.securityd, listener = false, pid = 0, euid = 4294967295, egid = 0, asid = 4294967295}: Connection invalid - failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction} The specific call we did: func SecAddSharedWebCredential( _ fqdn: CFString, _ account: CFString, _ password: CFString?, _ completionHandler: @escaping (CFError?) -> Void ) This error seems related to sandbox restrictions. The documentation does not provide enough information on how to properly set up the environment or what additional configurations might be needed to avoid such sandbox restrictions. More detailed guidance on configuring sandbox permissions and any additional steps required for setting up shared credentials in a message filter extension context would be highly beneficial. Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to any updates or clarifications you can provide to improve the implementation.

I am currently using iPhone 15+ and previously was using iPhone 11. Three glaring deficiencies which I have found in iOS, and which drives me towards android, are given below:- There is no option to send WhatsApp message directly from the contacts list or from recent calls history and for sending WhatsApp message to any contact, you have to open the WhatsApp app. There is no support for comma button either on the stock keyboard or on any keyboard available on Apple support, which makes the typing a bit hassled a bit hassled 3. IOS does not support Truecaller and does not either have its inbuilt spam Filter app, which can alert the user of any spam call, which can alert the user of any spam. Call. The presence of the above functions makes android a seamless experience, and because of the above deficiencies only, several times I have gone back to android discontinuing using iPhone. Can I expect the iOS developers to pay any heed to the above feedback, which will only improve the iOS experience and will not do any harm.

it seems that there is some ML going on to cut out the title of link previews in messages, is there official documentation on this? for example, my site has this as its tag <meta property="og:title" content="Orbits | The Circular Word Game" /> but it displays in link previews as why is this? after some testing with different heads it seems to always filter out Orbits

I am trying to build a Hangman game to play with my daughter since we both enjoy the game and playing together, but I have found issues regarding the size of the LiveLayout on the transcript screen I have implemented the method contentSizeThatFits override func contentSizeThatFits(_ size: CGSize) -> CGSize { CGSize(width: 432, height: 700) } But even after implementing the size of the message bubble on transcript mode is not changing to adopt the size I am providing. What should I do in this case? or how can I make the bubble to adopt a better size? I tried to attach an image without any success.

As part of development the Apple ID is signed into multiple devices, both iCloud & Messages. What I'm observing is after about 25 numbers are signed in (fewer devices as many have a sim + esim) Messages on non-phone devices stops working properly. The account is unable to send messages, and on macOS Messages often crashes and signs out the user. There are also repeated alerts about devices being added the already have been added - feels like the internals have a limit and are cycling through devices in some order, adding them back dynamically. Is there a way to increase this limit? Yes I know that Messages can be turned off or a different Apple ID can be used, but frankly that ends up being a lot of overhead for what we're trying to do thus hoping there's some limit somewhere that can be easily adjusted.

Ever since ios 18 beta my message app crashes i get like 10 seconds and then it kicks it back to homescreen already reset my phone did a hard reset erased my phone completely and started over and still same issue

We've created a Message Filter Extension that relies on the network action workflow of Message Filter Extensions (ILMessageFilterExtension). Has anyone applied authentication to these calls? It works great when being called un-authenticated, but the logic behind this API costs us money, and we'd like to rate-limit it by the client to avoid someone DDOs'ing the exposed API and racking up our bill. We've followed https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sms_and_call_reporting/sms_and_mms_message_filtering/creating_a_message_filter_app_extension and set up a Shared Web Credential (both webcredential and messagefilter associated domains). Still, our calls never have the created and verified credentials forwarded to our service with the REST API call. Have any thoughts on how to apply a shared web credential to those delegated calls?

I created a standalone iMessage app using Xcode template as the below: I didn't change a single line of code except just populating all necessary icons. After installing the extension using Xcode, nothing showed up in the iMessage. Did I miss anything? I've been stuck here for many hours.

Hello, I am new to app development. I am trying to make an iMessage app. I created it and then added a SwiftUI view. It builds just fine and the view is visible on the storyboard, but the app is not present in iMessage on Simulator or on an actual device. What's wrong? Thanks for any help. import UIKit import Messages import SwiftUI class MessagesViewController: MSMessagesAppViewController { var hostingController: UIHostingController<CalendarView>? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() } override func willBecomeActive(with conversation: MSConversation) { super.willBecomeActive(with: conversation) let swiftUIView = CalendarView() let hostingController = UIHostingController(rootView: swiftUIView) addChild(hostingController) view.addSubview(hostingController.view) hostingController.view.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false NSLayoutConstraint.activate([hostingController.view.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor), hostingController.view.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor), hostingController.view.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.topAnchor), hostingController.view.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.bottomAnchor)]) hostingController.didMove(toParent: self) self.hostingController = hostingController } override func didResignActive(with conversation: MSConversation) {} override func didReceive(_ message: MSMessage, conversation: MSConversation) {} override func didStartSending(_ message: MSMessage, conversation: MSConversation) {} override func didCancelSending(_ message: MSMessage, conversation: MSConversation) {} override func willTransition(to presentationStyle: MSMessagesAppPresentationStyle) {} override func didTransition(to presentationStyle: MSMessagesAppPresentationStyle) {} }

I am on a fresh install of Xcode 15.3 on macOS 14.4 (23E214). I created an iMessage App template and signed it with my personal team's certificate. When I click the run button, it successfully builds and opens the simulator to the Messages app but does not open the compact extension view (or install the extension such that it shows up in the More messages extension list). This reproduces on my older laptop (same version of Xcode) as well as my friend's (also same version of Xcode). Of note: The IceCreamBuilder app installs and runs correctly with no modifications I have not provided any icons for the messages extension The iMessage App template comes with an empty main app that does not install on the home screen The only console output that seems to differ from when I run the IceCreamBuilder is this message, which appears after a couple seconds of running the project: unhandled process MobileSMS Type: Error | Timestamp: 2024-03-09 00:41:07.763631-05:00 | Process: MobileSMS | Library: CoreParsec | Subsystem: com.apple.parsec | Category: CoreParsec | TID: 0xff097
