Hello, I'm currently facing some technical difficulties in implementing features related to application restrictions using the ScreenTime API. In our app, we allow users to set up restrictions for specific apps and app categories, with scheduled times and days (for example, Mondays and Thursdays, from 2pm to 5pm). The blocking sessions must run independently and simultaneously, allowing different sets of applications to be restricted at different times. However, I ran into two main problems: 1. Applying restrictions in the DeviceActivityMonitor extension: Although I can enable and disable restrictions, I haven't found an effective way to apply multiple FamilyActivitySelections directly in the DeviceActivityMonitor extension. The extension has to manage different blocking sessions independently, restricting different sets of applications and categories simultaneously or separately. I would like to know if it is possible to transmit this list of selected applications via UserDefaults or CoreData to the extension in order to facilitate this integra To better illustrate, here is a snippet of the code I am using: import Foundation import FamilyControls import ManagedSettings import DeviceActivity class AppBlockManager: ObservableObject { private let store = ManagedSettingsStore() private let center = DeviceActivityCenter() @Published var activitySelection: FamilyActivitySelection private var activityName: DeviceActivityName private var schedule: DeviceActivitySchedule init(selection: FamilyActivitySelection, activityName: DeviceActivityName, schedule: DeviceActivitySchedule) { self.activitySelection = selection self.activityName = activityName self.schedule = schedule } func startBlock() { do { try center.startMonitoring(activityName, during: schedule) if let applications = activitySelection.applications.isEmpty ? nil : activitySelection.applicationTokens { store.shield.applications = applications } if let categories = activitySelection.categories.isEmpty ? nil : activitySelection.categoryTokens { store.shield.applicationCategories = ShieldSettings .ActivityCategoryPolicy .specific(categories) store.shield.webDomainCategories = ShieldSettings .ActivityCategoryPolicy .specific(categories) } if let webDomains = activitySelection.webDomains.isEmpty ? nil : activitySelection.webDomainTokens { store.shield.webDomains = webDomains } } catch { print("Error starting monitoring: \(error)") } } func stopBlock() { store.shield.applications = nil store.shield.webDomains = nil store.shield.applicationCategories = nil store.shield.webDomainCategories = nil center.stopMonitoring([activityName]) } } Currently, this AppBlockManager is part of the main app target, not within the DeviceActivityMonitor extension, which is currently empty. With this configuration, I can only have one blocking session active at a time, and when it is deactivated, all restrictions are removed. I tried using different ManagedSettingsStore instances, each named individually, but without success. 2. Problems with scheduling restrictions: Currently, when setting up scheduled monitoring via DeviceActivitySchedule, the restrictions are activated immediately, ignoring the specific times scheduled (e.g. starting at 2pm and ending at 5pm). I need the schedule to work correctly, applying the restrictions only during the defined periods. Alternatively, I've considered running a background task that checks whether active sessions (up to a maximum of 3) should apply the restrictions at that time, but I'm still looking for a more suitable solution. In view of these challenges, I would like some guidance on the following points: What would be the best way to configure the DeviceActivityMonitor extension to receive and apply different FamilyActivitySelections, ensuring that the blocking sessions are independent and can run simultaneously? Is there a recommended approach to ensure that restrictions scheduled via DeviceActivitySchedule are applied and removed according to the times and days defined by the user, ensuring that applications are restricted only during the scheduled periods?

HI there, when requesting the daily forecast via the WeatherKit REST API, I found out that under certain circumstances the moon phase full is skipped.

I know this error is probably because the forecast starts prior to the full moon phase and ends after it but customers don't care about technicalities. They see that there is a full moon missing and complain to me. And they are right. Can you fix this somehow? For example, if a DailyForecast spans the majority of a full moon this Day is marked as full moon. Another question: Are you considering providing a moonPhase attribute to the "currentWeather" dataset? That would be the best option. (At least for me :))

Hi. The WWDC video of the v2 weatherkit api showed some examples for the REST API. However, they were very limited. The documentation for the REST API is currently for the v1 weatherkit API. When will the documentation for the v2 API be released? There are some new features of the v2 that I would really like to use, but I can't without knowing the new v2 REST API specifications. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks!

If you "uninstall" an app from your Mac using the standard "uninstall" methodologies, does macOS ever run an uninstaller in the background to clean up files and/or folders outside the app's .app folder? The standard "uninstall" methodologies that I know about are: trashing an application's .app folder, then emptying the trash long-clicking on an app in Launchpad, then clicking on its X while it jiggles Are there any other standard methodologies to "uninstall" a macOS app? Does any of the methodologies run any uninstall routine other than just deleting the .app folder from the file system (like maybe removing a folder under ~/Library/Caches)? Are there any problems with running rm -rf <path-to-.app-folder> instead of trashing the app folder/Lauchpad jiggling to death the app? Are there any differences between uninstall routines for apps installed from the Mac App Store versus apps installed by other means?

We are trying to test AdAttributionKit integration and receive a postback in the testing environment with our existing SKAdNetwork identifier and SKAdNetwork certificates, that we had received after registering SKAdNetwork profile via an e-mail. The issue is that existing certificates were generated by Apple with prime192v1 algorithm, which is not supported by JWT, when we try to create token to sign AdAttribution impression. We have generated the updated private and public keys according to the documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/adattributionkit/registering-an-ad-network. Is it possible to update our existing SKAdNetwork certificates to the new AdAttributionKit certificates? Or do we need to do something else in order to make our SKAdNetwork certificates work with AdAttributionKit?

Like the image showing, the element 'Ask ChatGPT' attaches below siri search suggestion , I guess SiriKit or Spotlight can implement it. But i searched a lot, no one introduct the detail technology. Do anyone ever implement it? Please help me. Thanks.

Hello. In iOS 17, after updating the app, when trying to "Edit Widget" from a long press on the widget, "Unknown extension process" is displayed and the widget cannot be edited. At this time, the widget becomes completely white (or completely black), and it cannot be fixed without restarting the iPhone. This issue occurs sporadically on some devices. The implementation uses AppIntentTimelineProvider. Does anyone know a solution, workaround, or the cause of this problem? Thank you.

Was watching this latest WWDC 2023 video and had a question. I see about 17:20 in, they mention you can now put the shortcut provider in an app intent extension. https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10103/ This works fine by itself and I can see all my shortcuts and use siri, but as soon as I try to call into the extension from the main app in order to trigger updateAppShortcutParameters() or any other code, I get a linker error. Am I doing something obvious wrong? Note, I called it a framework, but it Is just an extension. Cant figure out how I am supposed to be calling this method. Any help is greatly appreciated! https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/appshortcutsprovider/updateappshortcutparameters()?changes=_4_8 https://imgur.com/a/yDygSVJ

How can I make my app support this recommendation? Is there any relevant documentation?

app migration has been found to cause a change in the team ID. The Associated Domians section of Xcode includes the team ID. If the transfer is completed, will the team ID that has already installed my Nanjing app automatically change? If not, how can I ensure compatibility between the new and old versions

Description We used to use FIFinderSyncController.showExtensionManagementInterface() to navigate to the corresponding Setting's path via a button in our app to make the user enable our FinderSync App. (Or user can navigate manually via "System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Extensions -> Added Extensions" themselves in Settings.app) But the UI is now disappearing on macOS 15.0 As a result, if user had previously enabled it, user will now be unable to disable it, and if user had not previously enabled it, user will never be able to enable it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Create an empty macOS app xcodeprojc, add Finder Sync Extension and run it. Or you can use the repo here to reproduce the issue. https://github.com/Kyle-Ye/MenuHelper

Dear Apple team, I would like to report a problem that started after update my iPhone to iOS 18.0.1. When user receives a call and reject, CXCall is giving wrong values compared the previous version of iOS (minor of 18). In iOS 17.7, we received this values: hasConnected = false hasEnded = true iOS 18.0.1 we received 2 CXCall events: first event hasConnected = true hasEnded = false second event hasConnected = true hasEnded = true This behaviour is strange and not intuitive, and if we check the documentation, don`t make sense: A call is considered connected when both caller and callee can start communicating and A call is considered ended when the user disconnects or all other callers disconnect. Our code is very simple and use callObserver function to make the flow: public func callObserver(_ callObserver: CXCallObserver, callChanged call: CXCall) { if call.hasConnected, !call.hasEnded { //GoToViewControllerX } if call.hasEnded { //DoSomething } } With the behavior of iOS 18 the project will enter in first conditional and then will enter in second conditional. I need some help or some instruction because the intention ir only enter in first conditional if the call really happens.

Hello. I would like to ask for an assistance with testing AdAttributionKit flow that seems not working. Goal: to close the AdAttributionKit logic flow loop starting from presenting and handling Ad in a publisher app and ending with receiving a postback request on my end point. Problem: No postback request is received on my configured domain. It looks like AdAttributionKit cannot connect between AppImpression invocation in Publisher App and updating postback from the Advertised App, hence no update postback request are transmitted to my endpoint. What was done: Testing device iPhone 13, iOS 18.0.1 Production Apple ID AdAttributionKit Developer Mode is enabled iPhone is reset and restarted Publisher App Test publisher application was created and configured (according to Apple's documentation [https://developer.apple.com/documentation/adattributionkit/configuring-a-publisher-app]) with the following: AdNetworkIdentifiers item was added to app's Info.plist with number of Ad Network IDs. I tried to use in my tests (used below insted of the placeholder): Registered SKAdNetwork Ad Network ID that ends with .skadnetwork Not registered Ad Network ID that ends with .adattributionkit JWS Impression was created with the following JWS Header: {"kid" : "","alg" : "ES256"} JWS Payload: {"impression-type" : "app-impression","impression-identifier" : "9547875E-C052-44CD-8CB9-193978CC5AB7", "timestamp" : 1729162517373,"publisher-item-identifier" : 0,"source-identifier" : 1111,"ad-network-identifier" : "","advertised-item-identifier" : 1125517808} JWS Data: "BASE64(JWS-Header)"."BASE64(JWS-Payload)"."SIGNED("BASE64(JWS-Header).BASE64(JWS-Payload)")" Signing was done with temporary key (created every time the JWS is composed) by the following: let signingInput = "\(headerBase64String).\(payloadBase64String)" let privateKey = Curve25519.Signing.PrivateKey() var encodedSignature = "" do { let signature = try privateKey.signature(for: Data(signingInput.utf8)) encodedSignature = base64UrlEncode(signature) } catch { print("Error signing JWS: \(error.localizedDescription)") } UIEventAttributionView (with UITapGestureRecognizer) was added to my ViewController's main view and in a handling method of TAP event, AppImpression was created baased on JWS above and handleTap() method of this AppImpression instance was called. AppImpression was tapped and AppStore has been launched (because to this moment no advertised app with was installed on a device): attributionkitd Preflighting impression AAKPubApp Connection established attributionkitd Validated impression for advertised app: <MY-ADVERTISED-APP-APPSTORE-ID-PLACEHOLDER> attributionkitd No distributor bundle ID received from app fetch attributionkitd Distributor metadata cached for item ID <MY-ADVERTISED-APP-APPSTORE-ID-PLACEHOLDER> attributionkitd Is anything happening? attributionkitd Processing tap attributionkitd Successfully validated publisher application attributionkitd Successfully finalized click through impression attributionkitd Impression is not eligible for re-engagement attributionkitd Launching distributor for itemID: <MY-ADVERTISED-APP-APPSTORE-ID-PLACEHOLDER> attributionkitd [0x70008b340] activating connection: mach=false listener=false peer=false name=(anonymous) attributionkitd Distributor launch completed for item ID: <MY-ADVERTISED-APP-APPSTORE-ID-PLACEHOLDER> Advertised App Advertised App is an existing application on the AppStore.

I'm developing two native apps and one is a authentication app and other one is business app. In the main flow if buisness application is on the foreground and did nothing for at least 10 minutes it will automatically time out and redirect to the autentication app for token refresh. In this flow universal link redirect to the authetication app without opening Safari. But if i execute the below flow buissness app redirect to the Safari. Buisness App In Foregorund → Displaying a OS screen while app is in Foreground(Like Push Notification Center) → On this satate leave device for 10 minutes → Buisness app will automatically timeout and rediret to Safari(In safari 「NoSuchKey The specified key does not exist.」message is displaying but authentication app Universal link Start button is showing) → After click the Universal Link start button in Safari Authentication App open. I use the below code to start the Universal Link: if let url = URL(string: path) { UIApplication.shared.open(url) } So i would like to know is there a special reason that when Displaying a OS screen while app is in Foreground(Like Push Notification Center) affect the normal flow of Universal redirection to another app?
