I've been asked to replace Flurry Analytics with Apple's Analytics Framework. I'm referring to runtime reporting of activity within the app itself... ie log event when various views are loaded or when certain buttons are pressed etc. All these log events are then uploaded and available for viewing by the app developer. I've never used or even heard of such a framework from Apple. I see a lot about Apple Analytics as an Appstoreconnect api for gathering sales and marketing data but nothing about the type of analytics i'm looking for. Any information about what is (or is not) available from Apple would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have the Vision Pro developer strap, do I need to do anything to make Instruments transfer the data over it rather than wifi? Or will it do that automatically? It seems incredibly slow for transferring and then analysing data. I can see the Vision Pro recognised in Configurator, so assume it's working. Otherwise.. Any tips for speeding up Instruments? Capturing 5 mins of gameplay (high-freq) then takes 30-40+ mins to appear in Instruments on an M2 Max 32gb. Thanks!

When I go jogging early in the morning, I've noticed that that my watch will sometimes ask me if I'm awake, after a few miles or so, if I'm awake. This happens during the time I am actively using the Fitness APP to record my run. I would think the watch would already know that I am wake as soon as the Fitness APP is activated.

Hello everyone! For applications with multiple windows, if I close all open windows, I've noticed that visionOS reopen only the last closed window when launching the app again from the menu. Is there a way I can set a main window that will always be open when the application is launched?

We want to overlay a SwiftUI attachment on a RealityView, like it is done in the Diorama sample. By default, the attachments seem to be placed centered at their position. However, for our use-case we need to set a different anchor point, so the attachment is always aligned to one of the corners of the attachment view, e.g. the lower left should be aligned with the attachment's position. Is this possible?

New to Apple development. Vision Pro is the reason I got a developer license and am learning XCode, SwiftUI .... The Vision Pro tutorials seem to use WIFI or the developer strap to connect the Development environment to the Vision Pro. I have the developer strap, but can't use it on my company computer. I have been learning using the developer tools, but I can't test the apps on my personal Vision Pro. Is there a way to generate an app file on the Mac Book that I can download to the Vision Pro? This would be a file that I could transfer to cloud storage and download using Safari to the Vision Pro. I will eventually get a Vision Pro at work, but till then I want to start developing.

I have some usdz files saved and I would like to make thumbnails for them in 2D of course. I was checking Creating Quick Look Thumbnails to Preview Files in Your App but it says Augmented reality objects using the USDZ file format (iOS and iPadOS only) I would like to have the same functionality in my visionOS app. How can I do that? I thought about using some api to convert 3d asset into 2d asset, but it would be better If I could do that inside the Swift environment. Basically I wanna do Image(uiImage: "my_usdz_file")

Hello, I'm currently integrating a feature in our app that allows customers to set up a passkey. Once set up, users are prompted to use their passkey at the sign-in page. For users without a registered passkey, we ensure that the passkey assertion request fails silently to maintain a smooth login experience, using preferImmediatelyAvailableCredentials effectively for this purpose. However, we've noticed that when users are employing third-party password managers like 1Password or Bitwarden, they encounter a QR code fallback. Discussions with 1Password have revealed that iOS does not currently extend preferImmediatelyAvailableCredentials to these services. I would appreciate any advice on how to harmonize the behavior between iCloud Keychain and third-party password providers to ensure a consistent user experience.

I am developing an iOS app that utilizes the timeInDaylight data from HealthKit. This feature is available starting from iOS 17.0+, but it can only be recorded using the Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) and Apple Watch Series 6 or later. How should I release this app given its dependency on timeInDaylight data? Without this data, the app is useless. I understand that the App Store does not allow setting specific health data requirements. I am also concerned that including a "device requirements" warning in the App Store description might not pass the review process. Could you provide any advice on how to approach this situation? Thank you.

Hi there! I am trying to build a macOS app using Electron. There is a feature on the app that depends on a http server to run locally. This Server was built using Java. Both the compiled server and the Java Runtime Environment were bundled in the build. To start the server I use NodeJS's child_process.spawn, pointing the bundled JRE's executable and the server implementation. The issue I am facing is that the Java Virtual Machine is not starting. It returns the following error message: Error: Port Library failed to initialize: -1 Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. Both the JRE and the server are located in Contents directory, in a subdirectory I have created for them. Here are the app's entitlements: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> <string>REDACTED</string> <key>com.apple.application-identifier</key> <string>REDACTED</string> <key>com.apple.developer.team-identifier</key> <string>REDACTED</string> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-jit</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-unsigned-executable-memory</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.allow-dyld-environment-variables</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.disable-executable-page-protection</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.cs.disable-library-validation</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.network.client</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.network.server</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.device.microphone</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.device.audio-input</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.device.camera</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.print</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.temporary-exception.files.absolute-path.read-write</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Here the entitlements inherit: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.inherit</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Is there any missing step to allow the spawning of this process?

I made a simple app in Swift. Compilation was on MacBook Pro 16 (Apple M3 Pro) / Sonoma 14.4.1, and the XCode version used was 15.3. When I run this app on Big Sur(11.5.2) / Intel Core i5 iMac, following message is noticed. "The 'MYAPP' application cannot be opened because this application is not supported on this Mac." If I run MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/myapp directly, “...Bad CPU type in executable”is displayed. Build Settings are as follows: Minimum Deployments: macOS 11.0 Architectures: Standard Architectures (Apple Silicon, Intel) - $(ARCHS_STANDARD) Build Active Architecture Only : Debug - Yes / Release - No Code Signing by : Development ID and notarization is completed Additionally, SimpleFirewall (The Network Extension example) works well on Big Sur. I compared all settings with The SimpleFirewall project and couldn't find anything unusual.

TL:DR Can anyone provide guidance as to how to get the FileProvider testing API to work? It closes with no error and I have not been able to determine the issue despite careful attention to the documentation and signing. The Console logs seem to imply it is a Sandbox issue. Hi, Writing this as per suggested in the technical support section. I am trying to create some tests that involve controlling the calls from MacOS to the corresponding "event" functions in the FileProvider (e.g. fetchContents()) using the FileProviderExtension test API provided by Apple. I have thoroughly read the documentation (both online and within the API code) in order to get this to work. I have: Added the com.apple.developer.fileprovider.testing-mode entitlement to both my Main App as well as my FileProviderExtension Ensured my I have the correct account permissions, and provisioning profiles for my Main App as well as FileProviderExtension Added the line domain.testingModes = [.alwaysEnabled, .interactive] The issue: I found that setting the .interactive option in my domain.testingModes will result in my domain in Finder appearing to be stuck loading the root folder, and that my FileProviderExtension instance is being invalidated and closing in ~5s. It is reproducible. Is this a bug? Some things I have noticed: Attaching the debugger to the FileProviderExtension process results in no error. Additionally there is no error received when calling add(:domain). I noticed through testing that the Main App appears to be required to have the com.apple.developer.fileprovider.testing-mode entitlement in order to run a FileProviderExtension with that same entitlement. Otherwise I would receive the error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=257 "The file couldn’t be opened because you don’t have permission to view it" When trying to sign manually using a group Developer ID Application certificate as opposed to automatically with my Apple Development certificate Xcode presents the error "Main app provisioning profile" doesn't support the FileProvider Testing Mode capability." Despite this I can clearly see that is an enabled capability though the online Apple Developer portal under the Profiles section. Note that the only capabilities enabled when viewing the bundle identifiers of the Main App and FileProviderExtension are "FileProvider Testing Mode", "App Groups", and the (seemingly required) "In-App Purchases". I later realized that this was likely due to using the wrong type of provisioning profile so I generated and switched to MacOS Developer Profiles (as opposed to Distribution) and this error in XCode went away. However the above issue (FileProviderExtension instance being invalidated) persisted. If I look at the Console I see various errors from when the extension is launched till it closes: Sandbox: mdbulkimport(922) deny(1) mach-lookup com.apple.FileProvider Sandbox: hiveDiskProvider(37981) deny(1) mach-lookup com.apple.mobile.keybagd.UserManager.xpc [ERROR] Cannot query for providers.

I am going through the list of ways to check if my app is given Full Disk Access (FDA) or not. Out of which only one method is supported by apple. @note The only supported way to check if an application is properly TCC authorized for Full Disk Access * is to call es_new_client and handling ES_NEW_CLIENT_RESULT_ERR_NOT_PERMITTED in a way appropriate * to your application. I have implemented this method using EndpointSecurity and calling it from a root process as required. But when I disable System Integrity Protection (SIP) and call it, it succeeds without FDA. No error is thrown. Then I tested, in our app both EndpointSecurity and protected folder access (like Documents folder) functionalities are working fine even without FDA when SIP is disabled. Now my questions are When SIP disabled, does every app has FDA access by default?. Is there any use case that still needs FDA access when SIP is off?. Is there any way to check for FDA permission given or not whenever SIP is off, since above method won't work in that case?.

Xcode 15 and iOS 17.0.2 causing debugging issues when running from Xcode using a cable. When I updated to the new Xcode 15 and device to iOS version to 17.0.2, it is taking a long delay of 1 to 3 minutes to launch the app in the real device. It is also really slow after launching. Every step over or into take almost a minute. I can see the below warning in console "warning: libobjc.A.dylib is being read from process memory. This indicates that LLDB could not find the on-disk shared cache for this device. This will likely reduce debugging performance." I tried with the fix of executing the following command to clear the Device support files rm -r ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/iOS\ DeviceSupport. But even after I am facing the same issue. Please do the needful to fix this issue.

Hello y'all, I would like to discuss here if anyone else is noticing that some PDF files are not rendered as expected in iOS/iPadOS 17, it seems that some text with background (screenshot attached) are not rendered and you can only see the back color. The issue is reproducible on Preview, Safari, where I guess Apple is using PDFKit framework too. We submitted different issues with Feedback Assistant, however I've not hear back from Apple yet. Is anyone else able to reproduce the issue? Thanks,

Hi there. I've been trying to take a snapshot programmatically on apple vision pro but haven't succeeded. This is the code I am using so far: func takeSnapshot<Content: View>(of view: Content) -> UIImage? { var image: UIImage? uiQueue.sync { let controller = UIHostingController(rootView: view) controller.view.bounds = UIScreen.main.bounds let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: controller.view.bounds.size) image = renderer.image { context in controller.view.drawHierarchy(in: controller.view.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: true) } } return image } However, UIScreen is unavailable on visionOS. Any idea of how I can achieve this? Thanks Oscar

When you use the eslogger command line tool to dump 'profile add' and 'profile remove' notify events, the instigator process seems to always be reported to be the mdmclient process whatever the "real" instigator is: the Profiles pane in System Settings.app. a MDM solution the profiles command line tool. [Q] Is this expected? Because for another family of notify events where there is also an instigator field, the instigator points to the "real" instigator.

iMessage sometimes does not show Firebase Dynamic Link preview, while other apps like Messenger or Slack always work. I don't know if it is because of Firebase or the image itself, as there are some images which do show up in preview and some images don't. If anyone has any clue, please let me know. Thanks!

I tried to enroll Apple Developer Program but after the consent page it always show this "Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.". Please help me to fix this problem. Thank you!!
