Hi everyone. We try to implement background assets to our project. And and encountered this problem. When try to send background event from terminal xcrun backgroundassets-debug --simulate --app-periodic-check -d [DEVICE_ID] -b [APP_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER] In console.app in device log we saw this type of logs Text version :) Resetting extension runtime for: [APP_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER] Application info for ([APP_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER]) is being updated based on URL:(N/A) Failed to find represented extension point. (ID:[APP_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER] Event (7) dropped for client ([APP_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER]) failed because the app and extension do not share any application groups.

Could someone help ?)

Background Assets are integrated into our online Appstore. However, after launching the APP, we collected many crashes of Background Assets framework through our crash system. 1、BADownloadManager.sharedManager.fetchCurrentDownloadsWithCompletionHandler. Then, I am reinitiating the tasks through startForegroundDownload. However, occasionally there is a crash with EXC_BREAKPOINT [BADownloadManager.sharedManager fetchCurrentDownloadsWithCompletionHandler:^(NSArray<BADownload *> * _Nonnull downloads, NSError * _Nullable error) { if (error){ return; } for (BADownload *download in downloads) { if ([urlList containsObject:download.identifier]){ if (download.state == BADownloadStateFailed) { return; } NSError *downloadError; BOOL succes = [BADownloadManager.sharedManager startForegroundDownload:download error:&downloadError]; if (downloadError) { LogError(BADownloadLog,@"startForegroundDownload url:%@ error:%@",download.identifier,downloadError); }else if(succes){ LogInfo(BADownloadLog,@"startForegroundDownload:%@",download.identifier); [self addDowdloadingUrl:download.identifier]; } } } }]; The following crashes exist： Thread 3 (crashed) 0 BackgroundAssets!-[BADownloadManager startForegroundDownload:error:] + 0x100 Found by: given as instruction pointer in context 1 BackgroundAssets!-[BADownloadManager startForegroundDownload:error:] + 0xe0 Found by: previous frame's frame pointer 2 YYMobile!__46-[YYBADownloadManager executeDownload:finish:]_block_invoke [YYBADownloadManager.m : 180 + 0xc] Found by: previous frame's frame pointer 3 libdispatch.dylib!_dispatch_call_block_and_release + 0x1c Found by: previous frame's frame pointer 4 libdispatch.dylib!_dispatch_client_callout + 0x10 Found by: previous frame's frame pointer 5 libdispatch.dylib!_dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 0x298 Found by: previous frame's frame pointer 6 libdispatch.dylib!_dispatch_lane_invoke + 0x17c Found by: previous frame's frame pointer 7 libdispatch.dylib!_dispatch_workloop_worker_thread + 0x284 Found by: previous frame's frame pointer 8 libsystem_pthread.dylib!_pthread_wqthread + 0x11c Found by: previous frame's frame pointer See attachment "iOS.crash" for the complete crash file. iOS.crash Ask what, do I need to use exclusive control when accessing BADownload? 2、Handling failed callbacks in background download extension, rearranging necessary resources crashed - (void)backgroundDownload:(BADownload *)download failedWithError:(NSError *)error { // Extension was woken because a download failed. // A download can be rescheduled with BADownloadManager if necessary. if (![download isKindOfClass:[BAURLDownload class]]) { return; } if (download.isEssential){ BADownload *nonEssential = [download copyAsNonEssential]; [BADownloadManager.sharedManager scheduleDownload:nonEssential error:nil]; } } Have a crash: hread 1 Crashed: 0 BackgroundAssets 0x0000000245b47dac -[BADownload setPriority:] + 176 (BADownload.m:249) 1 BackgroundAssets 0x0000000245b47bb4 -[BADownload copyWithZone:] + 188 (BADownload.m:217) 2 BackgroundAssets 0x0000000245b46db0 -[BAURLDownload copyWithZone:] + 52 (BAURLDownload.m:127) 3 BackgroundAssets 0x0000000245b47f7c -[BADownload copyAsNonEssential] + 20 (BADownload.m:368) 4 YYBackgroundDownload 0x0000000100de8a88 0x100de4000 + 19080 5 BackgroundAssets 0x0000000245b3fd50 __88-[BADownloaderExtensionConnection backgroundDownload:failedWithError:completionHandler:]_block_invoke + 56 (BADownloaderExtensionConnection.m:178) 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x00000001d8080320 _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 32 (init.c:1518) 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x00000001d8081eac _dispatch_client_callout + 20 (object.m:560) 8 libdispatch.dylib 0x00000001d8089534 _dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 668 (inline_internal.h:2640) 9 libdispatch.dylib 0x00000001d808a0a4 _dispatch_lane_invoke + 384 (queue.c:3966) 10 libdispatch.dylib 0x00000001d8094cdc _dispatch_workloop_worker_thread + 648 (queue.c:6913) 11 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x0000000230547ddc _pthread_wqthread + 288 (pthread.c:2618) 12 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x0000000230547b7c start_wqthread + 8 (:-1) Details see attachment 2023-09-19_09-46-22.4511_+0800-6c5f4b24bec7c04256c852d7a008978a886c15a3.crash

Background asstes are triggered before the APP is launched. At this time, if the current device is not connected to the WIFI network, it will directly consume the operator's network traffic. Is there any way to limit this in order to avoid disputes over fees arising from the consumption of users' non-wifi traffic without their knowledge? For example, after extension is triggered, determine the network status when scheduling downloads?

After receiving manifestURL in extension, I try to move it to the shared directory of APP group, as follows: NSURL *url = [NSFileManager.defaultManager containerURLForSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier:self.appGroupIdentifier]; NSURL *storageURL = [url URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"YYBAResCache" isDirectory:YES]; BOOL isDirectory; BOOL isExists = [NSFileManager.defaultManager fileExistsAtPath:storageURL.path isDirectory:&isDirectory]; NSError *error = nil; if (!isExists || !isDirectory) { [NSFileManager.defaultManager createDirectoryAtURL:storageURL withIntermediateDirectories:YES attributes:@{NSFilePosixPermissions: [NSNumber numberWithShort:0777]} error:&error]; } if (error){ NSLog(@"Failed to create session storage directory:%@",error); } NSURL *localManifestURL = [sessionStorageURL URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"manifest.json"]; Next, move the file： NSError *error; [NSFileManager.defaultManager moveItemAtURL:manifestURL toURL:localManifestURL error:&error]; if (error) { NSLog(@"BackgroundAssetsTest extension saveMainifest:%@ to %@ error:%@",manifestURL,YYBASharedSettings.localManifestURL,error); } But I still received an error: BackgroundAssetsTest extension saveMainifest:file:///var/tmp/com.apple.backgroundassets.downloadstaging/com.devinprogress2021/2cf0ae65-3058-4522-80d5-f4d76747ad15.json to file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/F466C6BA-35D7-4115-8D8E-E1726E3D3696/YYBAResCache/manifest.json error:Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 "“2cf0ae65-3058-4522-80d5-f4d76747ad15.json” couldn’t be moved because you don’t have permission to access “YYBAResCache”."

I wrote the following code to schedule the download in extension： AURLDownload *essentialDownload = [[BAURLDownload alloc] initWithIdentifier:url request:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:assetURL] essential:true fileSize:assetSize applicationGroupIdentifier:YYBASharedSettings.appGroupIdentifier priority:BADownloaderPriorityDefault]; NSLog(@"BackgroundAssetsTest extension Schedule essentialDownload url:%@",url); and the delegate callback is implemented as follows： - (void)backgroundDownload:(BADownload *)download failedWithError:(NSError *)error { NSLog(@"BackgroundAssetsTest extension failedWithError: %@",error); } The console outputs the following error: BackgroundAssetsTest extension failedWithError: Error Domain=BAErrorDomain Code=202 "The requested URL is not permitted to be downloaded until the application is launched." UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=The requested URL is not permitted to be downloaded until the application is launched.} What's the problem? Scheduled downloads can only be triggered by launching the APP?

The BAEssentiaMaxInstallSize key in the plist file indicates the installed maximum size of the necessary resources. Is this size the uncompression size, and is this size included in the size of the BAMaxInstallSize key? Is BAEssentialDownloadAllowance included in BADownloadAllowance?

Sometimes not able to get access to withExclusiveControl I am not able to repro this, but once it can't get access, then killing the app also does not release the lock. I have to restart the device to get the control. Can we please fix this issue?

My Background Assets extension arranges to download image resources, as follows: NSURL *assetURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://***.png”]; NSUInteger assetSize = 6849; switch (contentRequest) { case BAContentRequestInstall: case BAContentRequestUpdate: { BAURLDownload *essentialDownload = [[BAURLDownload alloc] initWithIdentifier:@"YYBADAsset" request:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:assetURL] essential:true fileSize:assetSize applicationGroupIdentifier:appGroupIdentifier priority:BADownloaderPriorityDefault]; [downloadsToSchedule addObject:essentialDownload]; break; } } At the same time, the finishedWithFileURL method is implemented as follows: - (void)backgroundDownload:(BADownload *)download finishedWithFileURL:(NSURL *)fileURL { NSLog(@"BackgroundAssetsTest extension finishedWithFileURL:%@ forDownlad:%@",fileURL,download.identifier); NSLog(@"BackgroundAssetsTest extension finishedWithManifestURLExist:%@",@([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath:fileURL.absoluteString])); } And then use tools to trigger events, xcrun backgroundassets-debug --app-bundle-id com.luph.mytest --device-id 00008020-000A04xxF0002E --simulate --app-install The following log is observed through the console: BackgroundAssetsTest extension finishedWithFileURL:file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/1D051E06-E597-4670-969A-38ECA52C4F7A/Library/C aches/com.apple.BackgroundAssets/BAFile-5152AFB2.tmp forDownlad:YYBADAsset BackgroundAssetsTest extension finishedWithManifestURLExist:0 What's the problem? Did I set the size of BAURLDownload to be different from the actual download size? Or the wrong way to determine the existence of the file?
