Hi, I’m trying to implement the new PhotoKit PHBackgroundResourceUploadExtension. I created the extension, enabled full photo library access in the host app, and registered the extension point using the string: com.apple.photos.background-upload.
However, when I attempted to enable the extension with:
try library.setUploadJobExtensionEnabled(true)
I received the following error:
Error Domain=PHPhotosErrorDomain Code=-1 "(null)"
This happens when running the app on Xcode 26.1 and 26.2 Beta, using the iPhone 17 Pro Max simulator (iOS 26.1 and 26.2).
My question is: Is this extension supported on the simulator? I’m asking because at the moment it’s difficult for me to test this on a physical device.
Also, What's the meaning of the error?
Thanks.
