Hi, I am trying to create a hard link on MacOS(Mac Catalyst App) between files using [self linkItemAtURL:fromURL toURL:toURL error:&error]; Source Path for MacOS - /var/folders/lf/dt_4nxd945jdry2241phx0_40000gn/T/net.appname.AppName/documents/... Destination Path for MacOS - /Users/username/Library/Group Containers/group.net.appname.AppName.shared/Message/Media/... Although the same code works fine on iOS, but getting following error on MacOS Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 couldn’t be linked because you don’t have permission to access, Operation not permitted Source Path for iOS - /Users/user/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/B4054540-345F-4D90-A3C5-DA6E6469A3FC/data/Containers/Data/Application/B4AB7D70-491C-49E5-9A3F-27E66EC3423D/tmp/documents/... Destination Path for iOS - /Users/user/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/B4054540-345F-4D90-A3C5-DA6E6469A3FC/data/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/842B248E-CCA6-4B5C-82BD-2858EADD3A90/Message/Media/... However, interestingly if I try to copy the file, it works perfectly fine on MacOS as well. I am unable to understand if it is the permission issue, it should not work with copy as well. Does anyone have any reason/solution to this behaviour?

Hello, maybe anyone know anything about HCE (Host card emulation) feature on iOS? As far as I read, it's not possible to achieve this functionality on iOS, but maybe there are plans to implement that? Or maybe it's clear that it wont be allowed to be used at all? Thanks:)

Always failed to add IOBluetoothSDPServiceRecord in macOS Ventura As the title said, after I called the method "publishedServiceRecordWithDictionary", the Bluetooth XPC connection would always be interrupted and reset. The same code that I run in macOS Monterey is well executed without any warning. And I got the following logs : [CoreBluetooth] XPC connection interrupted, resetting [IOBluetooth] Failed to add service record [CoreBluetooth] XPC connection interrupted, resetting [CoreBluetooth] XPC connection interrupted, resetting [CoreBluetooth] XPC connection interrupted, resetting [CoreBluetooth] XPC connection interrupted, resetting

I added a Watch app to an existing iOS app using XCode 14.1. (single target template) When using WCSession delegate, so I can message between the apps, I always get isWatchAppInstalled = false. If Icreate the same scenario using XCode 13.x, I have no issues. Has anyone been able to add a watch app to an existing iOS app, create a WCSession object and have isWatchAppInstalled = true? print("Session:activationDidCompleteWith --> IsPaired[(String(describing: session.isPaired))] isWatchAppInstalled[(String(describing: session.isWatchAppInstalled))] isReachable[(String(describing: session.isReachable))]"); displays: Session:activationDidCompleteWith --> IsPaired[true] isWatchAppInstalled[false] isReachable[false]

Hello, When Apple officially released iOS16 to users in Sept and Oct this year, our custom device that uses a nRF52832 Nordic based BLE chip would no longer hold the connection for more that 90 seconds before disconnecting. Through other forums and documentation, we realized that with iOS16, Apple changed their requested Connection Intervals and we had to modify them on our product to solve. [Previously Worked with iOS15 & below] Connection Interval for Product: Min 7.5ms - Max 15ms Does not work with iOS16.0 Does work with iOS16.1 & iOS16.1.1 [Had to Change for iOS16.0, 16.0.1, 16.0.2, 16.0.3] Connection Interval for Product: Min 15ms - Max 30ms However, with the release of iOS16.1 in November, our original connection interval parameters work again. Does anyone know what Apple changed for iOS16.1 for the connection intervals? Why does iOS16.1 accept 7.5-15ms intervals when iOS16.0 doesn't? There are no changes to the connection interval requirements on the Apple Design Guidelines as of the last revision Oct26th,2022. Would really appreciate if anyone can share more info on the BLE change logs for iOS16.1. Thanks for the help!

I'm new to Xcode cloud - working with a Mac OS app, build is working great. Now I am trying to add a Test action; the testing target builds but won't run, and the error indicates it can't find the testing bundle in the expected build output. There's also mention of a code signing error, but I have automatic code signing enabled with the same settings on test target as the app. I am only running the unit test (XCTest) scheme, not the UI tests. When I run it locally from the IDE it works fine, either selecting the test scheme explicitly or as the test step of the app scheme. I notice the XCTest target's scheme setup uses Debug builds and expects the test output to be in the Debug .app bundle, I thought perhaps that was the problem (in case only the release app bundle actually gets built in the Xcode Cloud environment). So I created a duplicate scheme and set the build targets to Release - again I can run this fine locally (after creating a release build), but it fails with the same error in Xcode cloud. I also tried changing the code signing certificate from "Development" to "Sign to run locally" to see if that made a difference, but I get the same error. (It's using my developer account Team, and "Automatically manage signing".) Can anyone relate the proper way to set up an XCTest scheme so that the tests will actually run in a Mac OS Xcode Cloud workflow? I'm using Xcode 14.0.1. Here's the full error output, with [AppName] and [TestTargetName] substituted for the actual: [AppName] (....) encountered an error (Failed to load the test bundle. If you believe this error represents a bug, please attach the result bundle at /Volumes/workspace/resultbundle.xcresult. (Underlying Error: The bundle “[TestTargetName]” couldn’t be loaded.

Hi, I have 2 questions: the api for L2CAP is only for BLE or can also work for BR/EDR? (currently didn't manage to connect with BR/EDR) I use https://github.com/bluekitchen/CBL2CAPChannel-Demo on iPhone with le_credit_based_flow_control_mode from blue kitchen and the throughput was very low. I also tried to use L2TEST from Bluez (which uses L2CAP BASIC MODE) but it failed to connect Can anybody help how to increase throughput? The best result I received was 18 kilobyte/second. Thank you

When performing StoreKit 2 operations in my Mac app, even very simple ones like AppStore.sync() a small but steady percentage of users experiences the following error: systemError(Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4097 \"connection to service named com.apple.storekitagent\" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=connection to service named com.apple.storekitagent}) Rebooting or re-downloading the App from the Mac App Store, as well as signing out and in again on the Mac App Store does not solve the issue. Strangely enough all of the affected users I'm aware of were initially able to perform In-App purchases via the said app. Without any updates or anything else however suddenly after a restart of the app the above error gets thrown by the system. As I have not found any way to solve this issue yet and the said customers are consequently left without service even though they are paying customers, I am desperate to find help with this issue. Given the simplicity of the AppStore.sync() method for example I can't imagine the solution to lie in code, but I might of course be wrong. Thank you, Bastian

Hi, we are facing on a strange behaviour since iOS 16. In a registration view, we have two text field to insert password (password textfield and confirm password text field). Suggest strong password is abilitate (from iCloud... password & keychain). When user tap on password text field, can choose between strong password or text custom password. If user choose custom password, can text his own password as usually. But when he tap the second text field (confirm password) Apple fill in automatic both text field, cleaning the first text field... So user entry in a loop where he text password and when go next, previous textfield be cleaned and both text field filled with a new suggestion. Searching on the web we don't find any solution to it. Also because we try just to set text fields as .password or .newPassword. But this behaviour is always the same. Maybe is it a bug of iOS 16? How we can allow user to chose a custom password if the system fill always in automatic the password text fields, every time he tap on them?

When I create a ProcessInfo instance using ProcessInfo(), it seems to mess up the internally created singleton instance. Because afterwards, when I use ProcessInfo.processInfo to retrieve the low power mode state of the device, it returns the same result (the mode when ProcessInfo() was called) regardless of what the actual mode is at that moment. I tested this on 15.6.1.

Hi all ! I can't seem to find information on how to replace these deprecated functions: ICStart ICGetPref ICStop Is there an official guide on how to go through them? Thank you!

I have a process that I start and keep alive like this. ServerMain.shared.startFSM() CFRunLoopRun() Now I’m trying to react accordingly to when the computer is going to sleep, or shutting down so I’m trying to catch the SIGTERM signal as follows. private func setSIGTERMSignalHandler() { let signalSource = DispatchSource.makeSignalSource(signal: SIGTERM, queue: .main) signalSource.setEventHandler { self.signOut() } signalSource.resume() signTermSource = signalSource } However the event handler is not getting called in any circumstance. Is this the right track to catch them since it is a LaunchDaemon?

I'm using the new watchOS 9 HKWorkoutActivity in my interval training app (Intervals Pro) for each interval. It's a great addition since all the intervals now show in the Apple Fitness app, however, if the workout has lots of activities then saving the workout is painfully slow. For example, on my Apple Watch Ultra I saved a workout with 63 activities and it took more than 1 minute. Here's a code snippet: try await builder.endCollection(at: workoutEndDate) try await builder.addMetadata(metadata) try await builder.finishWorkout() // This is SLOW Is anyone else having the same issue? To demonstrate the issue you can look at a Test Flight build of Intervals Pro: https://testflight.apple.com/join/Nn7iSOzY Tap on the More tab in the iPhone app and then the Apple Watch Settings. On that screen you'll see a switch to either enable or disable workout activities. To demonstrate the issue, edit a timer to continue until manually stopped by changing the Number of Cycles to "Until Stopped". Then start the timer on the watch. Let it run for a period of time to create more than 50 intervals, for example, then stop the timer. Swipe to the leftmost screen on the watch, tap pause, then tap end. At that point you'll see how slow the workout saved. Next, you can go back to the iPhone app, disable using workout activities and repeat the test. The workout will save quickly in this case. I've filed a feedback.

Hi there, I could not find any previous post about this so I figured I should open one. It looks like the use of CryptoTokenKit modules (whether SmartCard or Persistent ones) is hindered on headless environments. This was observed on AWS backed macOS machines, and also on actual physical machines when using CI/CD tools with no GUI access. My first guess is that this is due to the fact that loading the CTK Extension relies on running the GUI CTK App, which is not possible in pure headless fashion. The bug report FB12135879 was filled in this regard. Any input on this would be appreciated. Thanks,

I have a Login Item that is bundled with my .app and can run in the background. The Login Item has a File Provider extension. When a user downloads and installs a new version of the main .app, what's the correct way to handle stopping and restarting the login item and File Provider related processes to make sure they are running the latest code also?

Hi, I have an App KeyPad that lets you use your mac keyboard as a bluetooth keyboard for your iPhone, TV, iPad, another Mac, Windows PC. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/keypad-bluetooth-keyboard/id1491684442?mt=12 Ever since the release of MacOS Ventura this app is no longer working. I have raised feedback report in december, and there is no activity on it. FB11869248 Essentially if I call publishedServiceRecord with a 16bit UUID in "0001 - ServiceClassIDList" the bluetoothd crashes and kills all bluetooth connections (Mouse, keyboard, headset...everything) and then reconnects. This is 100% reproducible. What is interesting is that if a user installs my App on MacOS Monterey, it works, and if they upgrade to MacOS Ventura, it will continue to work. But if they install it new in Ventura it will not work. Even more interesting, because my app was installed in Monterey, all OTHER similar apps will work on Ventura. I suspect that this is some sort of permission issue but I am not getting any support. Anybody see something similar. Sam

I am able to open software update section of settings app from my custom app. But when settings app is already opened with other section other than software update. Settings app opens with previous section & not opens with software update section. Issue is in iOS 16.4.1 Below is my code: if let url = URL(string: "App-prefs:root=Settings&path=General/SOFTWARE_UPDATE_LINK") { UIApplication.shared.open(url) } I also have did some modification in info section of project & below is screen shot attached.
