I’m developing an ARKit application where I aim to attach procedurally generated audio to detected planes in the environment. While using a static audio file with SCNAudioSource and SCNAudioPlayer works as expected, integrating procedural audio via AVAudioSourceNode does not produce any sound, nor does it generate any error messages: Stack Overflow Post Working Implementation with Static Audio File: let audioPlayer = SCNAudioPlayer(source: audioSource) node.addAudioPlayer(audioPlayer) Attempted Implementation with Procedural Audio: // Audio generation code } let audioPlayer = SCNAudioPlayer(avAudioNode: audioNode) node.addAudioPlayer(audioPlayer) In this setup, the AVAudioSourceNode successfully generates audio when connected directly to an AVAudioEngine. However, when used with SCNAudioPlayer and attached to an SCNNode, it fails to produce sound. What doesn’t work is creating some procedural audio with an AVAudioNode, as documented here: Apple docs Additionally, I explored the WWDC18 AR game project, SwiftShot, which utilizes SCNAudioPlayer(avAudioNode:). After updating it for the latest Xcode, the graphics function correctly, but the audio does not play. I also noted that the Apple documentation mentions an audioPlayerWithAVAudioNode: method, stating: Using this initializer is typically not necessary. Instead, call the audioPlayerWithAVAudioNode: method, which returns a cached audio player object if one for the specified AVAudioNode object has already been created and is available for use. However, this method does not appear to be available in Swift. Any insights or guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am searching for the possibilities to enable one of my app to be able to read NFC cards, my observation based on my search resulted that the app should be first 'entitled' (special permissions) by Apple, which I am unaware of its procedures, can anyone please shed some light on its forward path?

Facing issue in earphone not working in iPhone 12 after updating iOS 18.1. It is so frustrating. Can anyone have any solution to this? Nothing is happening after resetting or rebooting the phone many times.

I am trying to get a Notification if Guided access is enabled or disabled on the VisionPro. For doing so you would normally just call: NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: UIAccessibility.guidedAccessStatusDidChangeNotification, object: nil, queue: .main){ noti in print("guided access did change") } and this works fine on iOS devices. But running the exact same code in Vision os Results in not getting a notification at all, even though Guided Access gets enabled or Disabled. For testing i ran a simple default app, that works perfectly on both os types. import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Hello, world!") } .onAppear{ print("is appeairng") NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: UIAccessibility.guidedAccessStatusDidChangeNotification, object: nil, queue: .main){_ in print("guided access did change") } } .padding() } } But as said it prints "guided access did change on iOS" but not on the Vision Pro.

I'd like to add borders to all buttons in the iOS simulator from my Mac app. First I get the simulator window. Then I access the children of all AXGroup and if it's a button or a static text, I add a border. But for some buttons this does not work. In the example image the NavigationBarButtons are not found. I guess the problem is, that for some AXGroup the children array access with AXChildren is empty. Here is some relevant code: - (NSArray<DDHOverlayElement *> *)overlayChildrenOfUIElement:(AXUIElementRef)element index:(NSInteger)index { NSMutableArray<DDHOverlayElement *> *tempOverlayElements = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; NSLog(@">>> -----------------------------------------------------"); NSString *role = [UIElementUtilities roleOfUIElement:element]; NSRect frame = [UIElementUtilities frameOfUIElement:element]; NSLog(@"%@, role: %@, %@", element, role, [NSValue valueWithRect:frame]); NSArray *lineage = [UIElementUtilities lineageOfUIElement:element]; NSLog(@"lineage: %@", lineage); NSArray<NSValue *> *children = [UIElementUtilities childrenOfUIElement:element]; if (children.count < 1) { NSLog(@"NO CHILDREN"); } for (NSInteger i = 0; i < [children count]; i++) { NSValue *child = children[i]; AXUIElementRef uiElement = (__bridge AXUIElementRef)child; NSString *role = [UIElementUtilities roleOfUIElement:uiElement]; NSRect frame = [UIElementUtilities frameOfUIElement:uiElement]; NSLog(@"----%@, role: %@, %@", child, role, [NSValue valueWithRect:frame]); } NSLog(@"<<< -----------------------------------------------------"); for (NSInteger i = 0; i < [children count]; i++) { NSValue *child = children[i]; AXUIElementRef uiElement = (__bridge AXUIElementRef)child; NSString *role = [UIElementUtilities roleOfUIElement:uiElement]; NSRect frame = [UIElementUtilities frameOfUIElement:uiElement]; NSLog(@"%@, role: %@, %@", child, role, [NSValue valueWithRect:frame]); if ([role isEqualToString:@"AXButton"] || [role isEqualToString:@"AXTextField"] || [role isEqualToString:@"AXStaticText"]) { NSString *tag = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%ld%ld", (long)index, (long)i]; NSLog(@"tag: %@", tag); DDHOverlayElement *overlayElement = [[DDHOverlayElement alloc] initWithUIElementValue:child tag:tag]; [tempOverlayElements addObject:overlayElement]; } else if ([role isEqualToString:@"AXGroup"] || [role isEqualToString:@"AXToolbar"]) { [tempOverlayElements addObjectsFromArray:[self overlayChildrenOfUIElement:uiElement index:++index]]; } else if ([role isEqualToString:@"AXWindow"]) { [self.overlayWindowController setFrame:[UIElementUtilities frameOfUIElement:uiElement]]; [tempOverlayElements addObjectsFromArray:[self overlayChildrenOfUIElement:uiElement index:index]]; } } return [tempOverlayElements copy]; } For some AXGroup the children are found. For some they are empty. I cannot figure out why. Does anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Is it possible to spoof mac adress of Ventura 13.6.9?

So I got the iPhone 15 I also have the beta update. I’m curious as to whether i will be able to get apple intelligence

When the native info panel (which displays the title, subtitle, description, and custom buttons) opens, the focus immediately shifts to the first button. As a result, VoiceOver skips the description, which is crucial for users relying on accessibility features. I haven’t found a way to detect when it opens. Knowing this would allow me to trigger custom VoiceOver announcements or adjust the focus order dynamically. Are any other people experiencing this issue, and how do we solve it?

Hello, my submission is based on Haptics. Without it the App doesn't make sense. And only real iPhone can give this opportunity. But it says that Xcode playgrounds will be tested on Simulator. Is it indeed like this? What can I do? Thank you in advance!

Hi I'm a new Mac user having been a long time PC user and software developer. I also have a mobility impairment that has led me to try to use Voice Control as a replacement for Dragon NaturallySpeaking on my PC. I have been trying to use Parallels with a Windows 11 VM and Dragon for my remote work, but that seems to have broken when I downloaded the latest macOS beta. Ideally I'd like to use Voice Control over a VPN/Remote Desktop Connection or, in a pinch, Chrome Remote Desktop. The problem I'm running into is that macOS does not seem to recognize that I am in a text field or other control when I am in the remote application. I have a utility in Windows that will allow me to voice type into an application window even if the cursor is not over a control, but I can't seem to figure out a way to do that in macOS. Is there a way to do what I want to do? Is there a more capable voice recognition software package for macOS? I am running Sequoia 15.2 beta 3 at the moment.

My husband and I have the same iPhones. We both have location sharing on. When he uses Find My, he can see my location. He has shared his location with me, but my phone always says “No location found,” We have the exact same settings on our phones and have followed the instructions to use Find My. Is there something wrong with my phone since I cannot see his location? I have no trouble seeing the location of another family member. Or is something wrong with my husbands phone? This is so frustrating.

I am encountering the following issue while working with app group preferences in my Safari web extension: Couldn't read values in CFPrefsPlistSource<0x3034e7f80> (Domain: [MyAppGroup], User: kCFPreferencesAnyUser, ByHost: Yes, Container: (null), Contents Need Refresh: Yes): Using kCFPreferencesAnyUser with a container is only allowed for System Containers, detaching from cfprefsd. I am trying to read/write shared preferences using UserDefaults with an App Group but keep running into this error. Any guidance on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated! Has anyone encountered this before? How can I properly configure my app group preferences to avoid this issue?

I am an artist (singer songwriter) and I use the Photos app to manage albums related to my various creative projects. And these are some BIG issues that i am SURPRISED never came into the account or maybe were overlooked - Missing Search Bar When Adding Photos to Albums: Why there is no search bar when adding a photo to a bag of hundred of albums? (Artists like me like to organise things into different albums and folders) I can no longer search for albums by name after ios 18 update, which was previously very helpful in quickly locating them. Albums can be arranged & moved in the same folder but there is no way to move albums between DIFFERENT FOLDERS and the only wat is to create a new album in that folder and select and transfer everything and delete that old album.

Hello, after installing iOS 18 on our smartphones we experience a dramatic CPU load of the thread "AccessibilityUIServer" after installing one of our apps. This results in a drastic battery drainage and heats up the iPhone very fast. Under previous iOS versions this was no problem. Do you have any ideas how this could happen?

Should I allow the CIJSULAgent to find devices on local network?

I have a view dynamically overlaid on a UITableView with proper padding (added when certain conditions are met). When VoiceOver focuses on a cell beneath this overlay, the focused element does not scroll into view. I’ve noticed similar behavior in Apple’s first-party Podcasts app. Please find the attached image for reference. How can I resolve this issue and ensure VoiceOver scrolls the focused cell into view?

I am developing an application for macOS that runs exclusively in the menu bar, and in this application, I am using a ColorPicker to allow the user to choose a color. However, the ColorPicker is not working properly in the menu bar. What should I do to resolve this issue?

Hi! I have noticed a few glitches as well as some overall unfortunate cons with the assistive access mode. Alarms, timers, stopwatch, etc. do not sound or alert. However, I have an infant monitor app and I do get that sound alert so I know it is possible.. do I need to download a separate alarm app for it to work? Cannot make FaceTime calls with favorite contacts. Find My iPhone cannot jump to the maps app. Camera cannot zoom in or out. Photos cannot be deleted, edited, or shared in a shared album in the photos app. Photos/videos cannot be sent in messages. Spotify cannot be accessed from the lock screen. Apps do not stay open if you lock the phone screen or leave it on too long without touching the screen (auto locks). There is no flashlight option. I downloaded an app to have this feature but without being touched the screen will lock which shuts off the flashlight feature in the app until I unlock the phone again.

Accessibility got broken after updated till XCode 16.1 There is a call to accessibilityLabel - it sets an a11y label for a title of a view. This used to work (pronounced by VoiceOver) with XCode 15.4 + iOS 17.5. Xcode 16.1 + iOS 18.1 + Physical device/ iOS SImulator - with Accessibility Inspector - no a11y label set. Tried Xcode 16.2 beta 3 - the same result - accessibilityLabel does not work - a11y label is not set.
