It's not yet fully clear why and when does this crash occur, but I'm creating this post so there's a centralized thread for this. Some hints collected so far: The crash is occurring for existing Xcode projects opened with new Xcode 26.0 beta (17A5241e); no one's been able to reproduce on a project created in Xcode 26. I even tried creating a project with Xcode 16.2 and open it in Xcode 26, but it's all working fine there (don't have older Xcode at the moment, to try with many versions) It crashes right at the line of code that initializes URLSessionConfiguration. If you call URLSession() without parameters (which is deprecated as of iOS 13), the session initializes without the crash. It's NOT occurring only for libraries installed through package manages. In a project where it crashes, one should be able to reproduce by adding URLSessionConfiguration.default as the first line in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions It crashes when running an app on an iOS 26 simulator. (I don't have a device running beta iOS 26 to test on it!) It's working fine when running the app on a simulator or a device running iOS 18 or older. Related issue on Firebase GitHub repo: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/14948 Sorry to not be able to provide more info at the moment. I wanted to report this so in case someone from Apple knows about it, we could at least get some feedback or workarounds, until fix is released -- and, to prevent us all from duplicating this report in repositories of each library, as this isn't related to libraries.

But the NMI and NDI of Samsung's Wi Fi Aware are not the same MAC address. May I ask Apple engineers why they are different from Samsung？

Hello, I am new to App development, so I am looking for some advice. I want to develop an app for iPhone, which downloads files (pdf, jpg)from a server to the local storage. I also want to get data from the server to be used in my app. This could be a database access or just simple xml files. I want a secure access based on userid and password. Since in a later version, my app should also run on Android Phones, I am reluctant to use iCloud. I was thinking sftp, but that does not seem to be supported for iOS.

The Wi‑Fi Alliance’s Wi‑Fi Aware data communication uses IPv6. However, in Chapter 53 “Wi‑Fi Aware” of the Accessory Design Guidelines for Apple Devices, Release R26, it is stated that “The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) for IPv6 address resolution is not supported.” This has caused confusion among developers: Does Apple’s Wi‑Fi Aware data communication actually use IPv6? What is the impact of “The Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) for IPv6 address resolution is not supported” in Apple’s implementation?

I was excited about the new APIs added to Network.framework in iOS 26 that offer structure concurrency support out of the box and a more modern API design in general. However I have been unable to use them to create a device-to-device QUIC connection. The blocker I ran into is that NetworkListener's run method requires the network protocol to conform to OneToOneProtocol, whereas QUIC conforms to MultiplexProtocol. And there doesn't seem to be any way to accept an incoming MultiplexProtocol connection? Nor does it seem possible to turn a UDP connection into a QUIC connection using NetworkConnection.prependProtocols() as that also only works for network protocols conforming to OneToOneProtocol. I suspect this is an accidental omission in the API design (?), and already filed a Feedback (FB18620438). But maybe I am missing something and there is a workaround or a different way to listen for incoming QUIC connections using the new NetworkListener? QUIC.TLS has methods peerAuthenticationRequired(Bool) and peerAuthenticationOptional(Bool), which makes me think that peer to peer QUIC connections are intended to be supported? I would also love to see documentation for those methods. For example I wonder what exact effect peerAuthenticationRequired(false) and peerAuthenticationOptional(false) would have and how they differ.

In Low Power Mode or after the iPhone has been idle, On-Demand rules fire and StartTunnel runs. Subsequent calls to createTCPConnectionThroughTunnel intermittently fail with an error. Is NetworkExtension known to behave differently under Low Power Mode that might cause this?

I am trying to setup remote Java debugging between two machines running macOS (15.6 and 26). I am able to get the Java program to listen on a socket. However, I can connect to that socket only from the same machine, not from another machine on my local network. I use nc to test the connection. It reports Connection refused when trying to connect from the other machine. This issue sounds like it could be caused by the Java program lacking Local Network system permission. I am familiar with that issue arising when a program attempts to connect to a port on the local network. In that case, a dialog is displayed and System Settings can be used to grant Local Network permission to the client program. I don't know whether the same permission is required on the program that is receiving client requests. If it is, then I don't know how to grant that permission. There is no dialog, and System Settings does not provide any obvious way to grant permission to a program that I specify. Note that a Java application is a program run by the java command, not a bundled application. The java command contains a hard-wired Info.plist which, annoyingly, requests permission to use the microphone, but not Local Network access.

iPhone 12 pro with iOS 26.0 (23A5276f) App: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/wifiaware/building-peer-to-peer-apps We aim to use Wi-Fi Aware to establish file transfer between Android and Apple devices. Apple will act as the Publisher, and Android will act as the Subscriber. According to the pairing process outlined in the Wi-Fi Aware protocol (Figure 49 in the Wi-Fi Aware 4.0 specification), the three PASN Authentication frames have been successfully exchanged. Subsequently, Android sends the encrypted Follow-up PMF to Apple, but the Apple log shows: Failed to parse event. Please refer to the attached complete log. We request Apple to provide a solution. apple Log-20250808a.txt

I am in the middle of investigating an issue arising in the call to setsockopt syscall where it returns an undocumented and unexpected errno. As part of that, I'm looking for a way to list any socket content filters or any such extensions are in play on the system where this happens. To do that, I ran: systemextensionsctl list That retuns the following output: 0 extension(s) which seems to indicate there's no filters or extensions in play. However, when I do: netstat -s among other things, it shows: net_api: 2 interface filters currently attached 2 interface filters currently attached by OS 2 interface filters attached since boot 2 interface filters attached since boot by OS ... 4 socket filters currently attached 4 socket filters currently attached by OS 4 socket filters attached since boot 4 socket filters attached since boot by OS What would be the right command/tool/options that I could use to list all the socket filters/extensions (and their details) that are in use and applicable when a call to setsockopt is made from an application on that system? Edit: This is on a macosx-aarch64 with various different OS versions - 13.6.7, 14.3.1 and even 14.4.1.

After Apple-to-Apple pairing is completed, the paired device will be recorded in “Settings → Privacy & Security → Paired Devices”. However, after Android-to-Apple pairing is completed, the device is not saved to this list. Android device can be normally displayed on the Apple official Wi-Fi Aware Sample. However, the indicator is not green. During pairing, the Apple log shows: state: authenticated, and the Android side triggers the callback onPairingSetupSucceeded. During pairing verification, the Apple log shows: state: authenticated, and the Android side triggers the callback onPairingVerificationSucceed. My iPhone is iPhone 13， iOS 26.0 （23A5287g）

Our goal is to establish a Wi‑Fi Aware data path (NDP) between Apple and Android devices. Apple will act as the Publisher, and Android will act as the Subscriber. Apple-to-Android pairing has already been completed. The Android device can be normally displayed on the Apple official Wi-Fi Aware Sample. However, the indicator is not green. During pairing, the Apple log shows: state: authenticated, and the Android side triggers the callback onPairingSetupSucceeded. During pairing verification, the Apple log shows: state: authenticated, and the Android side triggers the callback onPairingVerificationSucceed. The Android side sends an NDP request to Apple (as shown in the figure 1), but Apple does not reply. Note: Qualcomm’s NDI and NMI are different. In addition, after Apple-to-Apple pairing is completed, the paired device will be recorded in “Settings → Privacy & Security → Paired Devices”. However, after Android-to-Apple pairing is completed, the device is not saved to this list. My iPhone model: iPhone 13, iOS 26.0 (23A5287g).

My company has a server that supports ticket-based TLS session resumption (per RFC 5077). We have done Wireshark captures that show that our iOS client app, which uses URLSession for REST and WebSocket connections to the server, is not sending the TLS "session_ticket" extension in the Client Hello package that necessary to enable ticket-based resumption with the server. Is it expected that URLSession does not support ticket-based TLS session resumption? If "yes", is there any way to tell URLSession to enable ticket-based session resumption? the lower-level API set_protocol_options_set_tls_tickets_enabled() hints that the overall TLS / HTTP stack on IOS does support ticket-based resumption, but I can't see how to use that low-level API with URLSession. I can provide (lots) more technical details if necessary, but hopefully this is enough context to determine whether ticket-based TLS resumption is supported with URLSession. Any tips / clarifications would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am currently investigating if we can disable usage of QUIC on application level. I know we can set enable_quic from /Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkd.plist to false but it will have a global impact since this is a system file, all the applications on machine will stop using QUIC. I don't want that. What i am looking for is to disable QUIC only for my application. Is there any way i can modify URLSession object in my application and disable QUIC? or modify URLSessionConfiguration so system will not use QUIC?

I'm writing an application that implements a Bonjour service and browser for the purpose of connecting to Logic Pro and interacting with a MIDI Device Script. Because it's connecting to Logic Pro running on the same system as the application, the service and browser do not need to access anything else on the local network. I'm creating the service and browser with calls like this: err = DNSServiceRegister( &serviceRef, 0, kDNSServiceInterfaceIndexLocalOnly, "MyService", "_osc._udp", "local", nullptr, 52854, txtLen, txtRecord, static_cast<DNSServiceRegisterReply>(myCallback), context ); err = DNSServiceBrowse( &browserRef, 0, kDNSServiceInterfaceIndexLocalOnly, "_osc._udp", nullptr, static_cast<DNSServiceBrowseReply>(browserCallback), context ); Despite the fact that I'm passing in kDNSServiceInterfaceIndexLocalOnly for the network interface, it still triggers an "Allow 'Application' to find devices on local networks?" permissions prompt. How can I avoid that prompt? It is both a significant failure point (in case users don't notice it or click 'Don't Allow' by mistake) but it may also scare them away, since it strongly implies my application is scanning devices on the local network, even though it's doing no such thing!

Is Apple's Wi-Fi Aware certified by the Wi-Fi Alliance? Is there any non-compliance of Apple's Wi-Fi Aware with the Wi-Fi Alliance standards? Does Apple have a roadmap to switch AWDL to Wi-Fi Aware? Does Apple have plans to adopt Wi-Fi Aware in Mac computers?

Samsung's Quick Share uses Wi-Fi Aware to achieve one-to-many concurrent sharing. Can Apple's Wi-Fi Aware achieve one-to-many concurrent sharing? Apple's AirDrop does support one-to-many concurrent sharing.

I was excited to find out about Wi-Fi Aware in i[Pad]OS 26 and was eager to experiment with it. But after wiping and updating two devices (an iPhone 11 Pro and a 2018 11" iPad Pro) to Beta 1 I found out that neither of them support Wi-Fi Aware 🙁. What current and past iPhone and iPad models support Wi-Fi Aware? And is there a new UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities key for it, to indicate that an app requires a Wi-Fi Aware capable device?

Hi! I configure proxy for webview like DispatchQueue.main.async { self.webView.configuration.websiteDataStore.proxyConfigurations = [proxyConfiguration] } It is fine in iosiOS 17 however, it crashes in iOS 18.3. And the problem seems to be related to the left side of the equation. I tried to call print(self.webView.configuration.websiteDataStore.proxyConfigurations.count) in async block and got the same bad access error. But if stop at that line of code and call po self.webView.configuration.websiteDataStore.proxyConfigurations in debugger it returns 0 elements. Did anyone have the same problem? What may cause the exception?

I have FileProvider based MacOS application, where user is trying to copy the folder having mix of small and large files. Large files are having size ~ 1.5 GB from FileProvider based drive to locally on Desktop. Since the folder was on cloud and not downloaded the copy action triggered the download. Small files were downloaded successfully however during large file download the URLSession timed out. We are using default timeout for URLSession which is 1 min. I tried to capture logs Console.app where i found FileProvider daemon errors. PFA Solutions tried so far: Increased timeout for URLSession from 5 to 10 mins - configuration.timeoutIntervalForRequest Set timeout for resource - configuration.timeoutIntervalForResource It happens when we have low network bandwidth. Network connectivity is there but the bandwidth is low. Any clue by looking at these errors?
