After implementing dark and tinted icon variants as per Apple’s documentation, devices running iOS versions prior to iOS 18.0 display the Dark Mode icon instead of the expected default light mode icon. As well as TestFlight showing the Dark mode icon.

I have implemented ShowInAppSearchResultsIntent and AppShortcutsProvider. But on iOS 18.1+ getting and error in console :- Failed to generate TargetContentIdentifier for criteria. In iOS 18.0 it's working fine. The code I have implemented @AssistantIntent(schema: .system.search) struct SearchIntent: ShowInAppSearchResultsIntent { // static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Search in Cineverse for" static let searchScopes: [StringSearchScope] = [.general] @Parameter(requestValueDialog: IntentDialog("What would you like to search for?")) var criteria: StringSearchCriteria @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { let searchString = criteria.term print("Searching for \(searchString)") return .result() } } class AppShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: SearchIntent(), phrases: [ "using \(.applicationName) search for", "search on \(.applicationName) app" ], shortTitle: "Search Movie", systemImageName: "magnifyingglass" ) } }

Is there a way to prevent or disable either of the following system PTT screens? When on the lock screen, you can tap the PTT indicator at the top of the screen to show a full-screen PTT view that includes both a "Leave" and "Talk" button When on the home screen, you can tap the PTT indicator at the top of the screen to show the PTT "Pill" that includes a "Talk" button I'd like to prevent showing both of these views. We don't use them in our app (we use PTT to play back messages, but use hands-free voice commands to send messages back). Is it possible to disable/never show those system PTT views? Screenshots of them attached.

I am developing an app that would like to access the contacts on the user's device. There was a recent article published that said Apple was restricting access to a user's contacts on their device. This was due to some current apps accessing the contacts and using that list for spam email and texts. Is that they case? if so, are there specific cases that allow an App to access the contacts?

Hello all, I'm finding myself with a compile error when trying to use a defined UTType for Transferable conformance when the type is also an AppEntity. The compiler error is Could not determine the identifier of `.todo`. Please use a UTType defined by the UniformTypeIdentifiers framework However, said compiler error only shows up after adding AppEntity conformance. So, in order to reproduce: Create any type, conform to Codable struct Todo: Codable { var id: UUID var title: String var completed: Bool } Create a UTType extension for the new type extension UTType { public static let todo: UTType = UTType(exportedAs: "org.nameghino.types.todo") } Add Transferable conformance extension Todo: Transferable { static var transferRepresentation: some TransferRepresentation { CodableRepresentation(contentType: .todo) ProxyRepresentation(exporting: \.title) } } At this point, the code compiles correctly on Xcode 16.2 beta 2 (16C5013f) Add AppEntity conformance extension Todo: AppEntity { static var typeDisplayRepresentation: TypeDisplayRepresentation = "todo_title" static var defaultQuery = Todo.Query() var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation { DisplayRepresentation(title: "\(title)") } struct Query: EntityQuery { typealias Entity = Todo init() {} func entities(for identifiers: [UUID]) async throws -> [Todo] { return [] } func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [Entity] { return [] } } } Now the code is not compiling with the aforementioned error.

I have a question regarding a feature in the app where it calls another app. We have a feature in our app where a WKWebView opens another app via a custom URL scheme. Initially, the system displays an alert saying, "Do you want to open Target App from My App?". However, once the user allows this action, the alert is no longer shown, and the Target App opens directly on subsequent attempts. The issue is that if the user no longer wants the app to redirect to the Target App, they cannot reset this preference or re-enable the alert. Is there a way, from the user's perspective, to make the alert reappear when trying to open the Target App again?

I am getting this error when I try to show device activity report view by this DeviceActivityReport(appsContext, filter: filter) Attempt to map database failed: permission was denied. This attempt will not be retried. I have taken access by this way. AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .individual)

Dear fellow iOS developers, I am interested in UWB technology and I am trying to build a dummy Indoor Navigation project. I will be placing 3 third party UWB devices (hardware or chips) at some distance apart from each other. I have 5 iPhones and I want to be able to connect all the 5 iPhones to the 3 UWB devices simultaneously and perform trilateration to get the iPhones x and y coordinates using the "distance" values obtained from the UWB devices (hardware or chips). I have tried this approach using Qorvo DWM3000 chips but problem is that after the first iPhone connection, the chip stops advertising itself. Is this approach possible? Also, it is compulsory to establish NISessions? Can't I skip creating NISessions? Thanks in advance. Forgive my english.

Hello, I’ve implemented a feature in my app using AppIntent. When the app is not running in the background and is launched for the first time via a shortcut, both application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: and applicationWillEnterForeground: are called. Normally, on the first launch, applicationWillEnterForeground: is not invoked. However, this behavior seems to occur only when the app is launched through a shortcut. I’d like to understand why applicationWillEnterForeground: is being called in this scenario. For reference, the AppIntent has openAppWhenRun set to true. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing crashes that consistently occur on iOS 18 devices, which seem to share a common root cause. I'm hoping for some guidance. Here are the details of the crashes as received from Xcode Organizer: Crash Trace 1: 0 CoreFoundation 0x0000000192c50e54 CF_IS_OBJC + 76 (CFRuntime.c:461) 1 CoreFoundation 0x0000000192c4dd3c CFRelease + 60 (CFRuntime.c:1202) 2 CoreFoundation 0x0000000192d015e0 _signalEventSync + 252 (CFStream.c:636) 3 CoreFoundation 0x0000000192d53050 ___signalEventQueue_block_invoke + 28 (CFStream.c:646) 4 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019a93c370 _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 32 (init.c:1549) 5 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019a93e0d0 _dispatch_client_callout + 20 (object.m:576) 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019a9456d8 _dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 744 (queue.c:3934) 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019a9461e0 _dispatch_lane_invoke + 380 (queue.c:4025) 8 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019a951258 _dispatch_root_queue_drain_deferred_wlh + 288 (queue.c:7193) 9 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019a950aa4 _dispatch_workloop_worker_thread + 540 (queue.c:6787) 10 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x000000021a00fc7c _pthread_wqthread + 288 (pthread.c:2696) 11 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x000000021a00c488 start_wqthread + 8 (:-1) Crash Trace 2: 0 libobjc.A.dylib 0x0000000186f33c20 objc_msgSend + 32 1 CoreFoundation 0x0000000189cb14b8 _inputStreamCallbackFunc + 36 (CFObject.m:1952) 2 CoreFoundation 0x0000000189cb0aa8 _signalEventSync + 216 (CFStream.c:626) 3 CoreFoundation 0x0000000189d01e30 ___signalEventQueue_block_invoke + 28 (CFStream.c:646) 4 libdispatch.dylib 0x0000000191948370 _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 32 (init.c:1549) 5 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019194a0d0 _dispatch_client_callout + 20 (object.m:576) 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x00000001919516d8 _dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 744 (queue.c:3934) 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x00000001919521e0 _dispatch_lane_invoke + 380 (queue.c:4025) 8 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019195d258 _dispatch_root_queue_drain_deferred_wlh + 288 (queue.c:7193) 9 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019195caa4 _dispatch_workloop_worker_thread + 540 (queue.c:6787) 10 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x000000021214bc7c _pthread_wqthread + 288 (pthread.c:2696) 11 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x0000000212148488 start_wqthread + 8 Crash Trace 3: 0 libobjc.A.dylib 0x00000001941d9ce8 objc_loadWeakRetained + 156 (NSObject.mm:525) 1 CoreFoundation 0x0000000196d0a0f4 _outputStreamCallbackFunc + 36 (CFObject.m:1960) 2 CoreFoundation 0x0000000196d09724 _signalEventSync + 216 (CFStream.c:626) 3 CoreFoundation 0x0000000196d07948 ___signalEventQueue_block_invoke + 28 (CFStream.c:646) 4 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019e9de248 _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 32 (init.c:1549) 5 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019e9dffa8 _dispatch_client_callout + 20 (object.m:576) 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019e9e75cc _dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 768 (queue.c:3934) 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019e9e8124 _dispatch_lane_invoke + 380 (queue.c:4025) 8 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019e9f338c _dispatch_root_queue_drain_deferred_wlh + 288 (queue.c:7193) 9 libdispatch.dylib 0x000000019e9f2bd8 _dispatch_workloop_worker_thread + 540 (queue.c:6787) 10 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x00000002220f3680 _pthread_wqthread + 288 (pthread.c:2696) 11 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x00000002220f1474 start_wqthread + 8 Notable Points: All crashes occur only on iOS 18 and newer versions. The crashes are independent of the Xcode version used to build the app (tested with both Xcode 15.4 and 16). All crash traces occur in CoreFoundation and seem to have nothing related to our app codebase. I've attempted to profile the app using Instruments to identify any zombie objects, but the crashes do not manifest on my own devices. I've referred to discussions, including this forum thread, but have not yet found a solution. Questions: Has anyone else encountered similar issues on iOS 18? Are there specific aspects of iOS 18 that might contribute to these CoreFoundation and libobjc-related crashes? Would appreciate any suggestions for further diagnostics or potential workarounds. Thank you for your help!

Hi all, After updating Xcode for iOS 18.2 can't add/find the widget in the simulator. However, the app work was expected with widgets with 18.1. Has anyone else seen this? I allowed the machine to cook for a while and it sorted itself out. Thanks. Blessings, --Mark PS I was just going to delete this post, but can not find the opetion anymore.

I'm working on an iOS app using JWPlayer to stream an HLS video. However, the stream stops and doesn't restart on both emulators and real devices. The output provides the following information: • transportType: HTTP Live Stream • mediaType: HTTP Live Stream • BundleID: • name: MEDIA_PLAYBACK_STALL • interfaceType: Wifi Additionally, the log shows: (16830): Media file not received in 21s Can anyone guide me on this issue?

Hi, There are total three errors from the app running on the device. First one is right after the app starts running on the device: Could not create a sandbox extension for '/var/containers/Bundle/Application/D4CBF093-EFB1-43C5-996D-7D5CB04BF643/appadmob.app' Below second issue comes when I dismiss the Interstitial Ad First responder issue detected: non-key window attempting reload - allowing due to manual keyboard (first responder window is <UIWindow: 0x10d11c700; frame = (0 0; 414 896); hidden = YES; autoresize = W+H; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x301749300>; backgroundColor = <UIDynamicSystemColor: 0x3002b3080; name = _windowBackgroundColor>; layer = <UIWindowLayer: 0x3019b7960>>, key window is <QUIWindow: 0x10880db00; baseClass = UIWindow; frame = (0 0; 414 896); gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x3017276e0>; layer = <UIWindowLayer: 0x3019852f0>>) And the third issue below follows right after the second one: Error acquiring assertion: <Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "((target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent))" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=((target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent))}> 0x118024480 - ProcessAssertion::acquireSync Failed to acquire RBS assertion 'WebProcess NearSuspended Assertion' for process with PID=19180, error: (null) Failed to terminate process: Error Domain=com.apple.extensionKit.errorDomain Code=18 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x3019254a0 {Error Domain=RBSRequestErrorDomain Code=3 "No such process found" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=No such process found}}} Also when I dismissed the interstitial ad, the screen looks greyed out, but when I touch the screen, the screen comes to normal. Could you please suggest any solution for the problems. Thanks,

Hello, I have written a new app shortcut using the iOS AssistantIntent macro for the system.search scheme. It all works as it should. I can find it in the short cuts apps and if I search for my app in the Search feature of Springboard my app icon shows under top hits along with its associated search shortcut. When the shortcut is invoked it prompts for the text to search for and then it launches once the text is entered. This is fine but I would also like to have automatically created some additional shortcuts items where some of the common items I expect people to search for are already available so that when tapped they aren't prompted for search text and the intent is automatically launched with the query text. I'd like these to show up under top-hits for my app and in the shortcuts app as well. I noticed that if I manually create the shortcuts in the shortcuts app then they show up under top-hits. However as I said I would like for my app to provide these automatically but I am unsure how to go about this and which APIs I should using. Thx

While closing and reopening gamecenter, it’s not responding, and go to infinite loop i dont know what to do i repeated it several Times

Hello, I’m experiencing an issue with Siri on iOS where it prioritizes a contact from the wrong account, even though I’ve set a default account for Contacts. Details of the issue: I have two contact groups: Exchange (Outlook) — my default account. iCloud. There’s a contact, "Alena Jorse," which exists in both groups: In the Exchange group, the name is saved as Alena Jorse. In the iCloud group, it is saved as Alena Jorse with double-strike formatting (e.g., "Alena Jorse**"). Both contacts have the same phone number. When I ask Siri to call "Alena Jorse," it selects the iCloud contact ("Alena Jorse**") instead of the Exchange contact, despite Exchange being set as the default Contacts account in my iOS settings. Expected Behavior: Siri should prioritize the contact from the default account (Exchange) and ignore other accounts unless specified. Steps to Reproduce: Have duplicate contacts in two groups (Exchange and iCloud) with the same phone number. Set Exchange as the default Contacts account. Ask Siri to call the contact. Troubleshooting Steps Taken: Ensured the default account is set to Exchange. Verified both contacts have the same phone number. Tested by disabling iCloud temporarily, which resolves the issue (but is not a viable long-term solution). Request: Could you please advise if this is intended behavior or a bug? If it’s a configuration issue, how can I ensure Siri prioritizes the default account for contacts? If it’s a bug, could this be investigated further? Thank you for your assistance.

Recently, I have found that the AppShortcut create with AppIntent might be push on the lock screen. But it didn't happen when I was developing. I'm curious how to simulate this case

How to determine whether the shortcut command is triggered by Siri or the user clicks?

Anyone know what exactly this means? I have enabled in Capabilities Near Field Communications Tag Read in the Xcode project AND just to make sure added it in by hand in the app certificate section on the website, yet keep on getting the error started in the title: "/Provisioning profile "iOS Team Provisioning Profile: --------" doesn't support the Near Field Communication Tag Reading capability." Ive taken an Apple demo and it works right out of the box. Any ideas?

3.5 weeks ago I submitted form https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/family-controls-distribution to get Family Controls entitlement for my app. I still not received any feedback at all...   Contacting Support also doesn't help... Is there any time limits for this request or any average time of waiting for feedback?
