Hi, I’m running into an issue with Core Data migrations using a custom NSMappingModel created entirely in Swift (not using .xcmappingmodel files). Setup: • I’m performing a migration with a manually constructed NSMappingModel • One of the NSEntityMapping instances is configured as follows: • mappingType = .customEntityMappingType (or .transformEntityMappingType) • entityMigrationPolicyClassName is set to a valid subclass of NSEntityMigrationPolicy • The class implements the expected methods like: @objc func createDestinationInstances(…) throws { … } @objc func createCustomDestinationInstance(…) throws -> NSManagedObject { … } The policy class is instantiated (confirmed via logging in init()), but none of the migration methods are ever called. I have also tried adding valid NSPropertyMapping instances with real valueExpression bindings to force activation, but that didn’t make a difference. Constraints: • I cannot use .xcmappingmodel files in this context due to transformable attributes not compatible with the visual editor. • Therefore, I need the entire mapping model to be defined in Swift. Workaround: As a temporary workaround, I’m migrating the data manually using two persistent stores and NSManagedObjectContext, but I’d prefer to rely on NSMigrationManager as designed. Question: Is there a known limitation that prevents Core Data from invoking NSMigrationPolicy methods when using in-memory NSMappingModel instances? Or is there any specific setup required to trigger them when not loading from .xcmappingmodel? Thanks in advance.

Our product (rockhawk.ca) uses the Multipeer Connectivity framework for peer-to-peer communication between multiple iOS/iPadOS devices. My understanding is that MC framework communicates via three methods: 1) infrastructure wifi (i.e. multiple iOS/iPadOS devices are connected to the same wifi network), 2) peer-to-peer wifi, or 3) Bluetooth. In my experience, I don't believe I've seen MC use Bluetooth. With wifi turned off on the devices, and Bluetooth turned on, no connection is established. With wifi on and Bluetooth off, MC works and I presume either infrastructure wifi (if available) or peer-to-peer wifi are used. I'm trying to overcome two issues: Over time (since iOS 9.x), the radio transmit strength for MC over peer-to-peer wifi has decreased to the point that range is unacceptable for our use case. We need at least 150 feet range. We would like to extend this support to watchOS and the MC framework is not available. Regarding #1, I'd like to confirm that if infrastructure wifi is available, MC uses it. If infrastructure wifi is not available, MC uses peer-to-peer wifi. If this is true, then we can assure our customers that if infrastructure wifi is available at the venue, then with all devices connected to it, range will be adequate. If infrastructure wifi is not available at the venue, perhaps a mobile wifi router (battery operated) could be set up, devices connected to it, then range would be adequate. We are about to test this. Reasonable? Can we be assured that if infrastructure wifi is available, MC uses it? Regarding #2, given we are targeting minimum watchOS 7.0, would the available networking APIs and frameworks be adequate to implement our own equivalent of the MC framework so our app on iOS/iPadOS and watchOS devices could communicate? How much work? Where would I start? I'm new to implementing networking but experienced in using the MC framework. I'm assuming that I would write the networking code to use infrastructure wifi to achieve acceptable range. Many thanks! Tim

We are seeing an issue with a potential duplicate charge issue regarding our app. We have received two transactions with the same originalTransactionId but different transactionIds: Order A: TransactionId: [Redacted_TID_1] OriginalTransactionId: [Redacted_OID_A] ProductId: weekly_subscription PurchaseDate: [Redacted_Timestamp_1] SignedDate: [Redacted_Timestamp_2] Price: [Redacted_Price] CAD Order B: TransactionId: [Redacted_TID_2] OriginalTransactionId: [Redacted_OID_A] ProductId: weekly_subscription PurchaseDate: [Redacted_Timestamp_1] SignedDate: [Redacted_Timestamp_3] Price: [Redacted_Price] CAD Both transactions share the same originalTransactionId, productId, and expiresDate, but the transactionIds are different. We wanna confirm: Were customers charged once or twice for this subscription renewal? If only one charge was made, how should we programmatically determine the “valid” transaction among multiple records with the same originalTransactionId to avoid confusion in our server-side receipt validation? We appreciate any clarification so we can handle this correctly in our backend.

PLATFORM AND VERSION Model - iPhone 13 Pro Max (Potentially for other models also) OS - iOS 26 DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM : BLE discoverability (advertising) is not working on iOS 26 but works reliably on older iOS versions. Details: Our app acts as a Bluetooth peripheral. When advertising, the app only adds CBAdvertisementDataLocalNameKey in advertisement data. Format of local name - "NTDI:103202400001" We have observed that in iOS 26, the local name is getting truncated. This breaks the parsing logic in our IOT device central code, which expects the full local name to be present. We have also observed that some extra data is getting added to the advertisement data by the OS. As of now, updating the IOT device logic for parsing is not possible. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Create an instance of CBPeripheralManager. Start advertising with a local name with the format "NTDI:103202400001" Capture the advertisement data using a Bluetooth sniffer tool. Observe that the local name is getting truncated Legacy ADV_IND as received by IoT device (truncated name): HCI Event: LE Meta Event (0x3e) plen 27 LE Advertising Report (0x02) Event type: ADV_IND (0x00) Data length: 15 Flags: 0x1a TX power: 12 dBm 12 09 4e 54 44 49 3a 31 30 ..NTDI:10 RSSI: -47 dBm Only partial Local Name (“NTDI:10…”) is present in this primary PDU. Is it possible to avoid the extra data introduced by iOS or avoid local name truncation?

Recently, I've noticed that background Bluetooth scanning stops when I move an app to the background on an iPhone 17 device with Bluetooth 6. I'm curious about a solution. Background Bluetooth scanning doesn't stop on devices older than iOS 26, or on devices that were updated from an iPhone 17 or earlier to iOS 26.

I'm troubleshooting a crash I do not understand. I have a queue called DataQueue which never has anything dispatched to it - it's the sample buffer delegate of an AVCaptureVideoDataOutput. It can call DispatchQueue.main.sync to do some work on the main thread. It works fine no matter what we test, but has some crashes in the field that I need to fix. Here's it crashing: AppleCameraDataDelegate.dataQueue 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x7bdc __ulock_wait + 8 1 libdispatch.dylib 0x4a80 _dlock_wait + 52 2 libdispatch.dylib 0x486c _dispatch_thread_event_wait_slow$VARIANT$mp + 52 3 libdispatch.dylib 0x113d8 __DISPATCH_WAIT_FOR_QUEUE__ + 332 4 libdispatch.dylib 0x10ff0 _dispatch_sync_f_slow + 140 The main thread isn't doing something I asked it to, but appears to be busy: Thread 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x71a4 __psynch_cvwait + 8 1 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x7fd8 _pthread_cond_wait$VARIANT$mp + 1232 2 grpc 0x2cb670 gpr_cv_wait + 131 (sync.cc:131) 3 grpc 0x119688 grpc_core::Executor::ThreadMain(void*) + 225 (executor.cc:225) 4 grpc 0x2e023c grpc_core::(anonymous namespace)::ThreadInternalsPosix::ThreadInternalsPosix(char const*, void (*)(void*), void*, bool*, grpc_core::Thread::Options const&)::'lambda'(void*)::__invoke(void*) + 146 (thd.cc:146) 5 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x482c _pthread_start + 104 6 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0xcd8 thread_start + 8 Can anyone help me understand why this is a crash?

Is there any recent and a bit authoritative documentation which explains how to debug recent versions of macos kernel? I have found some blog posts from other users but those are either outdated or don't work for some other reason. I am guessing kernel debugging is pretty common for developers working on macos itself, so I'm hoping someone in this forum would have some working instructions for that.

I have successfully booted the Linux Kernel with VirtIOFS as the rootfs, but file permission issues render it completely unusable. A file on the macOS host belongs to uid 0, gid 0, but on the Linux guest, this file belongs to uid 1000, gid 10. Why does this happen? How are file permissions directly mapped between the host and the guest? If there is no mapping mechanism in place, why does this discrepancy occur? This leads to errors in Linux, such as: sudo: /etc/sudo.conf is owned by uid 1000, should be 0 sudo: /usr/bin/sudo must be owned by uid 0 and have the setuid bit set bootLoader.commandLine = "console=hvc0 rootfstype=virtiofs root=myfs rw" let directorySharingDevice = VZVirtioFileSystemDeviceConfiguration(tag: "myfs") directorySharingDevice.share = VZSingleDirectoryShare(directory: VZSharedDirectory(url: rootURL!, readOnly: false)) The VMM is running as root.

Hi Apple, We are working on a general USB device management solution on macOS for enterprise security. Our goal is to enforce policy-based restrictions on USB devices, such as: For USB storage devices: block mount, read, or write access. For other peripherals (e.g., USB headsets or microphones, raspberry pi, etc): block usage entirely. We know in past, kernel extension would be the way to go, but as kext has been deprecated. And DriverKit is the new advertised framework. At first, DriverKit looked like the right direction. However, after reviewing the documentation more closely, we noticed that using DriverKit for USB requires specific entitlements: DriverKit USB Transport – VendorID DriverKit USB Transport – VendorID and ProductID This raises a challenge: if our solution is meant to cover all types of USB devices, we would theoretically need entitlements for every VendorID/ProductID in existence. My questions are: Is DriverKit actually the right framework for this kind of general-purpose USB device control? If not, what framework or mechanism should we be looking at for enforcing these kinds of policies? We also developed an Endpoint Security product, but so far we haven’t found a relevant Endpoint Security event type that would allow us to achieve this. Any guidance on the correct technical approach would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

Dear Apple Developer Support, I am reporting a critical bug in iOS 26.0 that affects the entire system's keyboard functionality and device performance. Issue Description: When a UIInputView is displayed and a new ViewController is presented, the UIInputView loses focus and disappears. After the presented ViewController is dismissed, the UIInputView regains focus and reappears. However, in this specific scenario, the app becomes completely unresponsive without any error logs or crashes. Critical System Impact: The device becomes sluggish and performance degrades significantly Other apps' keyboard functionality is completely broken - text fields cannot activate keyboards This is a system-level issue that persists even after the affected app is terminated Device performance remains degraded until restart Technical Details: The issue appears to be related to First Responder chain corruption during UIInputView focus transitions No crashes or error logs are generated, making it difficult to debug The problem affects the entire iOS keyboard subsystem, not just the specific app This suggests a potential memory leak or resource management issue at the system level Version Information: iOS Version: 26.0 Previous versions: No such issues reported Affected devices: Multiple devices tested Evidence of System-Level Bug: The fact that other apps' keyboard functionality is affected and device performance degrades system-wide strongly indicates this is an iOS 26.0 system bug rather than an application-specific issue. The First Responder chain corruption appears to be preventing proper cleanup of keyboard-related resources. This issue is blocking production releases and requires urgent attention as it affects the core iOS keyboard functionality. Thank you for your prompt attention to this critical issue.

I am working on a SwiftUI project using Core Data. I have an entity called AppleUser in my data model, with the following attributes: id (UUID), name (String), email (String), password (String), and createdAt (Date). All attributes are non-optional. I created the corresponding Core Data class files (AppleUser+CoreDataClass.swift and AppleUser+CoreDataProperties.swift) using Xcode’s automatic generation. I also have a PersistenceController that initializes the NSPersistentContainer with the model name JobLinkModel. When I try to save a new AppleUser object using: let user = AppleUser(context: viewContext) user.id = UUID() user.name = "User1" user.email = "..." user.password = "password1" user.createdAt = Date()【The email is correctly formatted, but it has been replaced with “…” for privacy reasons】 try? viewContext.save() I get the following error in the console:Core Data save failed: Foundation._GenericObjCError.nilError, [:] User snapshot: ["id": ..., "name": "User1", "email": "...", "password": "...", "createdAt": ...] All fields have valid values, and the Core Data model seems correct. I have also tried: • Checking that the model name in NSPersistentContainer(name:) matches the .xcdatamodeld file (JobLinkModel) • Ensuring the AppleUser entity Class, Module, and Codegen are correctly set (Class Definition, Current Product Module) • Deleting duplicate or old AppleUser class files • Cleaning Xcode build folder and deleting the app from the simulator • Using @Environment(.managedObjectContext) for the context Despite all this, I still get _GenericObjCError.nilError when saving a new AppleUser object. I want to understand: 1. Why is Core Data failing to save even though all fields are non-nil and correctly assigned? 2. Could this be caused by some residual old class files, or is there something else in the setup that I am missing? 3. What steps should I take to ensure that Core Data properly recognizes the AppleUser entity and allows saving? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

We have a customer reporting a bunch of problems with our (Transparent Proxy Provider-based) suite. Looking at a sysdiagnose, I see that our GUI applet was killed: Termination Reason: Namespace PORT_SPACE, Code 14123288431434181290 (Limit 305834 ports) Exceeded system-wide per-process Port Limit Looking at the top.txt file from it, I see that it has 193,086 ports -- compared to about ~250 on one of my test systems. Has anyone run into this? Any idea what might be causing it? (I'm still poring over the sysdiagnose, but I don't see any kernel logs around that time -- except that our process does close a dozen or so ports because of cancellation.)

When adapting to iOS 26, do not use Liquid Glass by adding an option to the Info.Plist file: UIDesignRequires Compatibility with a value of YES. But there is a question: 'Note that this option will be removed in Xcode 27, so it can only be delayed for a maximum of one year.' May I ask if this question is true

I haven’t been able to get this to work at any level! I’m running into multiple issues, any light shed on any of these would be nice: I can’t implement a bloom filter that produces the same output as can be found in the SimpleURLFilter sample project, after following the textual description of it that’s available in the documentation. No clue what my implementation is doing wrong, and because of the nature of hashing, there is no way to know. Specifically: The web is full of implementations of FNV-1a and MurmurHash3, and they all produce different hashes for the same input. Can we get the proper hashes for some sample strings, so we know which is the “correct” one? Similarly, different implementations use different encodings for the strings to hash. Which should we use here? The formulas for numberOfBits and numberOfHashes give Doubles and assign them to Ints. It seems we should do this conversing by rounding them, is this correct? Can we get a sample correct value for the combined hash, so we can verify our implementations against it? Or ignoring all of the above, can we have the actual code instead of a textual description of it? 😓 I managed to get Settings to register my first attempt at this extension in beta 1. Now, in beta 2, any other project (including the sample code) will redirect to Settings, show the Allow/Deny message box, I tap Allow, and then nothing happens. This must be a bug, right? Whenever I try to enable the only extension that Settings accepted (by setting its isEnabled to true), its status goes to .stopped and the error is, of course, .unknown. How do I debug this? While the extension is .stopped, ALL URL LOADS are blocked on the device. Is this to be expected? (shouldFailClosed is set to false) Is there any way to manually reload the bloom filter? My app ships blocklist updates with background push, so it would be wasteful to fetch the filter at a fixed interval. If so, can we opt out of the periodic fetch altogether? I initially believed the API to be near useless because I didn’t know of its “fuzzy matching” capabilities, which I’ve discovered by accident in a forum post. It’d be nice if those were documented somewhere! Thanks!!

OK so I cannot get my phone icon or my phone app to work with Apple CarPlay like it will not it says I need to download an app for that but I definitely already have the phone and the Apple CarPlay downloaded and set up so I’m just like I’m confused and I just don’t understand what is happening.

Does anyone know how to register as a psp for apple pay. My psp is based in the UAE and I cant seem to find an easy way to enroll the psp to apple pay

Hello, I am experiencing an issue with the Apple Pay capability on my App ID. I have created a Merchant ID. I enabled Apple Pay in the App ID configuration and linked it to the merchant. However, sometimes when I revisit the App ID in the Apple Developer portal, the Apple Pay capability appears disabled, even though I saved it. This happens intermittently; at some times the capability is correctly shown as enabled, and other times it disappears. Context: I am using Expo Managed Workflow with EAS Build for iOS. The issue prevents the provisioning profile from including Apple Pay, which causes Stripe isPlatformPaySupported function to return false on ios devices. Attached: Screenshots of the App ID page showing Apple Pay enabled and disabled. Could you please advise why the capability is not being consistently saved, and how to ensure it stays enabled? Thank you,

Hello, I have 2 subscription group. Each group have different plans and promotional offer. I was set 1 month free promotional offer in all plans. While I subscribe any plan IAP sheet is not showing 1 month free promotional offer. I already used with new sandbox account. How can I get promotional offer in IAP sheet?

Hello all, I’m helping a customer integrate Apple Pay, and I’m seeing a behavior I can’t fully explain. I hope someone here can help clarify whether this is expected or whether it’s a bug / misconfiguration on my side. Currency: RSD (Serbian Dinar) Amount: 3.45 RSD (two decimals) Result: Apple Pay cancels the payment automatically when the amount includes decimals, without even displaying the paymentsheet. Things I have checked: ISO 4217 defines RSD with 2 minor units, so fractional amounts like 3.45 should be valid. Processors treat RSD as a two-decimal currency. Apple’s documentation does not provide a per-currency decimal rule table. In testing, whole-number RSD amounts succeed, while fractional amounts (e.g. 3.45 RSD) fail. I did not encounter this problem with other currencies like EUR, USD. Has anyone encountered this issue before?

Reported as FB20357097 In SwiftUI, an empty .safeAreaInset modifier attached to a Map causes the map to become zoomed out to planet level.
