Screen time API can be disabled easily
We have developed a Parental/Self control app using Screen time API. We have used individual authentication to authorize the app, using the instructions here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/familycontrols/authorizationcenter The problem is , that individual auth can be disabled easily , by the following steps: enter Settings app. in Settings app, click on the Parental/Self control app. click to disable screen time restriction. show the device owner's face/fingerprint. (or pin code) Why is that a problem: Parental control apps, or self-control apps, are about giving control to the software, To make it hard for the user to disable the restrictions. So using the flow I have introduced above, it's super-easy for a user to disable his Parental control restrictions, which misses the entire point of Parental/Self control idea. Furthermore, not only the user have the means to unlock his screen time restrictions, he also MUST have the means to unlock it. This makes Screen time (with individual auth) useless: I have a code ready to make a great parental control app for my clients, with amazing ideas, but I can't use the Screen time API unless this problem is fixed. Why child-parent auth is not enough: My clients are grownups people between ages of 15-40, that are interested in self-control, so they don't have iCloud child accounts. also, the child-parent auth solution forces my clients to give some control to other person, and my clients prefer their privacy. Some of them prefer self-control and not parental-control. What I suggest as a solution: 1: Give more options to users how to disable the Screen time restrictions. including: a second faceID / FingerPrint (that isn't the same as the one used to unlock the device) a second pin password. a string password 2: Give the users the option to choose to not have the device's owner Face/Finger/Pincode ID , as a method to disable the Screen time restrictions.

App Clips Causing CPSErrorDomain error 2 on Non App Clip URLs
Unexpected behavior encountered when scanning NFC tags. Imagine a link shortener web service where users can create lots of different URLs that are hosted on the same domain eg, https://short.com/unique-path The service has optional App Clip capability -- users can select any of their links and have the service create an App Clip for the selected link(s). Users can encode their URLs into NFC tags and have their customers scan NFC tags. Let's take just two URLs for example: https://short.com/foo https://short.com/bar The /foo link does have an App Clip associated with it while /bar does not have it. Each link has been encoded into appropriate NFC tag. Expected behavior when scanning from an iPhone: /foo -- shows an App Clip popup. /bar -- shows a "Open in Safari" default notification. What's actually happening /foo -- opens App Clip poput with correct metadata (title, subtitle, image) which is totally expected behavior. /bar (the one that doesn't have app clip associated with it) -- opens an App-Clip-like popup with the following error: CPSErrorDomainError 2 (see attachment below) So for some reason when someone scans an NFC tag with a URL that is not an App Clip and never has been -- it always shows that error regardless whether the URL exists or does not exist. I've tried few different/random URLs (which don't have an App Clip associated with it) and all of them show the same error. Additional details: All links use the same domain and URL format: domain.com/path where path is a short string of random a-Z characters. All App Clips are created at the same iOS app. AASA is good: Cache and Debug -- both green. This issue has happened to lots of users on lots of different iPhones and iOS'. Since the issue's been happening to lots of different users on different iPhone(s)/iOS' no sysdiagnose is attached. Actually it works the same on every device/iOS we've tried. Before submitting the issue, I've found few other developers reporting the same issue. What's interesting though is none of the links I've went through comes with a definite answer and it seems like this issue just randomly comes and goes without any specific changes on the server and/or iOS app. Dropping the links of similar issues below. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/671433 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/665969 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/775316 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764545

macOS 26 Tahoe Screen Saver issues
Noticing a few issues with Screen Savers in macOS Tahoe developer beta 1 : The command open x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.ScreenSaver-Settings.extension no longer works to open the Screen Savers preference pane. The reason? There is no longer a Screen Saver preference pane - it still exists, but it's now a Modal dialog (that can not be resized) that is opened from within the Wallpaper preference pane, by clicking a button. Something funny is happening with legacyScreensaver - I think that ScreenSaverView.Init(frame:isPreview) may be passing wrong values, e.g. the isPreview boolean is false in Preview mode? I've submitted Feedback # FB17895600 about some of these, and will report back more as I figure things out. Please feel free to add to this thread, thanks!

Is the Screen Time API completely broken in the betas?
I've been trying to get something to work with the Screen Time API, but almost everything related to it is completely and truly broken/unimplemented. I've tried all of this in the iOS 15 Beta 2 and 3 and Xcode 13 Beta 2 and 3. These are just a handful of the bugs I came across: Screen Time APIs do not work on the simulator. Calling AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization on a simulator with a logged in child account always results in "FamilyControls.FamilyControlsError Code=3" FamilyActivityPicker does not list installed apps on either of the guardian's or child's devices, it only lists the categories. It's not clear at this point whether FamilyActivityPicker needs to be called on the parent or the child device. Assuming restrictions can actually be set, there is no API to allow setting up of restrictions for individual kids. After successfully authorizing a child device via AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization, DeviceActivityCenter.startMonitoring always results in an MonitoringError.unauthorized error. AuthorizationCenter.requestAuthorization error in callback cannot be mapped back to FamilyControlsError because it is a plain NSError with an error code and FamilyControlsError does not expose an initialiser that takes a rawValue. Even though an app is authorized to managed ScreenTime on a child device, the child can always just delete the app. (I would try to submit a bug with device diagnostics about this using Feedback Assistant, but to top it all off at the moment I am receiving an error in FA that says "Unable to gather diagnostics" / "A problem was encountered when trying to gather diagnostics. Try gathering diagnostics again"). There's no device activity / shield configuration or shield action extension templates in Xcode. For those wondering, I created a CallDirectory extension and then changed the NSExtensionPointIdentifier in the plist to the appropriate value. What is the appropriate value? It's not mentioned in the documentation :), so I had to dig around in the Xcode support files to find out the following identifiers: com.apple.ManagedSettings.shield-action-service com.apple.ManagedSettingsUI.shield-configuration-service com.apple.deviceactivity.monitor-extension And this leads me to my last item: the documentation which is absolutely lacking. There is no programming guide for the frameworks and the Homework app we saw developed during WWDC is not available. It's not clear how the settings from the guardian app get applied to the child app. Is there a built-in mechanism or do we need to use our own implementation to transfer those changes (via push or whatever)? Of course I reported almost all of this via Feedback Assistant, but considering I had previous feedback for other APIs sit there untouched for years in the past, it's really frustrating and it feels like I'm just talking to myself with those bug reports. So, did I do something wrong and completely misinterpreted the capabilities and functionality of the ScreenTime API or is it truly broken and non-functional in iOS 15 Beta 2/3? There's absolutely no mention of these issues in the release notes so I am starting to question my sanity here.

Lost data in UserDefaults
My app user sometimes lost data in UserDefaults when our app launched. All or part of the data is lost. A device that has happened once is likely to happen again. This bug seems to have been around since October 2020. Not depend on any OS or hardware, and we haven’t been able to reproduce it yet. Does anyone face the same bug?

iOS26 beta: AppClips are not working properly
Hi, As a company, we have several apps in the AppStore that contain AppClips. With the latest iOS18 it works without any problems. With all iOS26 betas so far, however, there is always the problem “ASDErrorDomain- Error 507” and the AppClip cannot be opened. You can easily test this by scanning the following QR code with the system camera: You only ever get this error instead of the option to open the AppClip. As the iOS26 beta phase is already at an advanced stage, we are naturally concerned as to whether the problem will be solved.

Emulating NFC Tag using iPhone Device
I'm trying to transfer data from one device to another using NFC. I'm trying to figure out if this is possible, I downloaded apple's sample project about CoreNFC, I was able to read NFC Tags (it wasn't a real NFC Tag, rather it was an NFC Tag emulated with an android device). Can I use my iPhone to emulate an NFC Tag to transfer data to another iPhone or Android device?

Potential iOS26 regression on AASA file not download on app install
Original discussion pre iOS 26 Our app uses Auth0 with HTTPS callback, we've found the issue where AASA file is not ready immediately when app is initially launched, which is the exact issue from the above link. The issue seems mostly fixed on later versions on iOS 18, however, we are seeing some indications of a regression on iOS 26. Here's some measurement over the last week. | Platform | iOS 18 | iOS 26 | |---------------|----------|--------| | Adoption rate | 55% | 45% | | Issue seen | 1 | 5 | | Recover? | Yes | No | This only 1 iOS 18 instance was able to recover after 1 second after the first try, however, all iOS 26 instances were not able to recover in couple tens of seconds and less than 1 minute, the user eventually gave up. Is there a way to force app to update AASA file? Are there some iOS setting (like using a VPN) that could potentially downgrade the AASA fetch?

LiveCommunicationKit: report Incoming but Assertion failure in -[PKPushRegistry _terminateAppIfThereAreUnhandledVoIPPushes]
I completed the CallKit Demo with the same code. When I changed to LiveCommunicationKit, the code goes perfectly when the app is in foreground, but it crashed in background. If I changed the reportIncoming method from LCK to CallKit, it goes well. What is the reason?

Can't retrieve name and email from Sign In flow
Hi,We've just implemented Apple Sign In according to the documentation (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/signinwithapplerestapi), the login is working fine, but there is no way to get the email from the token. We tried a lot of different scopes, and while only a few seem to be valid (name, email, openid), they don't seem to change anything to the response of the token. The only field that's in there is "id_token", and the only useful field in the "id_token" is "sub", which seems to be a unqiue identifier. Is there a way to retrieve the email address?Thanks!

Inquiry about the data format for Live Caller ID Lookup
Hello! https://github.com/apple/live-caller-id-lookup-example/blob/main/Sources/PIRService/PIRService.docc/DataFormat.md The link above shows the data format that the user who gets a call, can get. I wonder if it is also possible to add other fields, for example: "summary". I am currently in the design-phase of an app that aims to present what the last call between the two parties was about, and that information can be gotten from an API that I will build according to Apple's principles that is comaptible with the Live Caller ID Lookup protocol. Therefore adding a field that will present a short summary of the last call will be very handy. Is that possible?

Can't retrieve name and email from Sign In flow
Hi,We've just implemented Apple Sign In according to the documentation (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/signinwithapplerestapi), the login is working fine, but there is no way to get the email from the token. We tried a lot of different scopes, and while only a few seem to be valid (name, email, openid), they don't seem to change anything to the response of the token. The only field that's in there is "id_token", and the only useful field in the "id_token" is "sub", which seems to be a unqiue identifier. Is there a way to retrieve the email address?Thanks!

Inquiry about the data format for Live Caller ID Lookup
Hello! https://github.com/apple/live-caller-id-lookup-example/blob/main/Sources/PIRService/PIRService.docc/DataFormat.md The link above shows the data format that the user who gets a call, can get. I wonder if it is also possible to add other fields, for example: "summary". I am currently in the design-phase of an app that aims to present what the last call between the two parties was about, and that information can be gotten from an API that I will build according to Apple's principles that is comaptible with the Live Caller ID Lookup protocol. Therefore adding a field that will present a short summary of the last call will be very handy. Is that possible?
