I recently tried Apple TV after using android tv for a long time. The main missing item is having a browser. I could not find one. i tried building Firefox for TVOS, it failed with WebKit not available. Is there a way to build WebKit and package it along with a browser package while building it?

We removed the APP Clip feature in the latest version, and our server-side synchronous update the "apple-app-site-association" file, remove "appclips" content. now, i use Camera app scan the QR code（regardless of whether the app is installed）, the following error occurs："This app clip is not currently available in your country or region". I checked some information and it might be due to Apple CDN cache, or is there something else I need to do?

I've created a font family, but Font Book refuses to include it in the English language set, despite my best efforts. The font has every glyph in the OpenType "Std" set, plus several others. I've checked various boxes for Latin 1 and Macintosh Character Codepages; plus Unicode ranges for Basic Latin, additional Latin, etc, etc. I've compared it to several other fonts that are in the English set, and I can't see anything that they have that my fonts don't. (In fact, many of them seem to have much less!) I've created other fonts that are in the English set, but I've no idea what the difference is. Given that macOS relies on these Language sets, in order to hide the thousands of unnecessary fonts that are permanently installed in the OS, there ought to be some guidance on how to do this.

This is Saeid from Drion.ai Ag company in Germany. We are s marketing startup and we are developing a marketing platform we need to give opportunity to our users to sign in using Apple ID. I have sent all of the company documents, my ID card, and all documents that we have in our company just to activate the AppID login API and it is nothing after more than 2 months. I had a call from Apple support and she told me to send some documents I did it, but nothing yet. Is this Apple company's suport for developers?!

I am developing a macOS word-processing app that should be distributed via the Apple App Store. Some of the app's functions like generating HTML and PDF exports should be automatable via Shortcuts and via shell scripts. To support the latter, I plan to include a command line tool inside the app that can be called from the Terminal or a shell script. The tool should be able to instruct the main app to then perform the desired commands. A well-known AppStore app that uses this design is BBEdit which also contains multiple command line tools that offer functionality from the main app to users of the Terminal. My technical questions now are: Should the command line tool executable be sandboxed and if yes, how? Even after many trials, I have not found a way to make a working sandboxed command line tool. If a sandboxed tool is started from the Terminal, it is immediately terminated with an exception in _libsecinit_appsandbox.cold.12. I am aware of the Apple developer documentation article Embedding A Helper Tool In A Sandboxed App, but it addresses a different architecture in which the helper tool is started from the main app and therefore is able to inherit its sandbox. BBEdit is only sandboxing the main app, but not its embedded command line tools and is still allowed in the App Store. Is this the way to go for me as well or does BBEdit get some special treatment in the App Store? How can the command line tool pass the permission to access files to the main app? As my main app is sandboxed, it needs explicit permission from the user to be able to access files. Users of a command line tool give this permission by providing file paths as arguments. How can I pass these permissions along to the main app? BBEdit is able to do this even when the user has not given it full-disk access. I know that it is using Apple Events for the communication between the command line tool and the main app, but I am not sure how this allows to pass permissions. Can anyone shed light on how to implement a solution here? Thanks!

I recently update my ionic app to ionic angular 7. I'm having this crash that does not happen in the same way, neither in the same place. Aside from needed some entitlements that I've already requested the app is crashing all the time.

Issue: Using Messages in macOS Sequoia, I stop receiving any messages after 7+ hrs of the system being on. Troubleshooting: any messages sent to the target account doesn't show up when this issue occurs. I'm able to send messages from the target account which is received. only way to get it working is to reboot the computer but those messages sent never arrive to the target account even after reboot. upon reboot the behavior functions as expected. however the issue returns after 7hrs+ after reboot. logout and log back in when the system is in this state doesn't resolve the issue. only a reboot but the issues eventually returns. note the 7hrs+ is tested and is more accurately 7-10 hrs.

Hi All, Had a question. Is there a point to submit anything through the feedback assistant (https://feedbackassistant.apple.com)? I mean it doesn't seem like any engagement occurs through the platform on any issues submitted.

I am currently working on integrating an app with Siri, adding support for starting VOIP calls and sending messages. Although it is understood it is recommended to use SiriKit for calling and messaging, I would like to allow users to select a profile to use for calling. As far as I am aware the notion of selecting a profile to call from is not something SiriKit supports, therefore, it was decided to go with App Intents to allow for more control over the parameters utilized to start calls. After integrating VOIP calling with App Intents, I noticed CallKit is not able to start calls when the App Intent is invoked from the background. I get the following error: Error Domain=com.apple.CallKit.error.requesttransaction Code=6 "(null)” This seems to correspond to the CXErrorCodeRequestTransactionError invalidAction. This error only happens when the intent is invoked from the background. Changing the App Intent property openAppWhenRun to true solves the issue as it brings the app to foreground before running the intent. However, I would like to support starting calls from the background to avoid making users unlock their phones prior to starting a call with Siri to make it a truly hands-free experience. I suspect the desired behavior is possible, most likely with SiriKit, as some famous VOIP calling apps (i.e. WhatsApp, Messenger, etc) exhibit the behavior I described. However, is there any way to start calls from the background with App Intents? Or is the desired behavior something exclusive to SiriKit? I have pasted three code snippets below that can replicate the issue. At the moment I am on Xcode Version 15.3, macOS Sonoma 14.6.1, and testing on iOS 16.6.1 To demonstrate the issue I have created the following CXProviderDelegate: class CallManager: NSObject, CXProviderDelegate { func startCall() { let callKitProvider = CXProvider(configuration: CXProviderConfiguration()) callKitProvider.setDelegate(self, queue: nil) let callKitController = CXCallController() let recipient = CXHandle(type: .generic, value: "Demo Outgoing Call") let uuid = UUID() let startCallAction = CXStartCallAction(call: uuid, handle: recipient) let transaction = CXTransaction(action: startCallAction) callKitController.request(transaction) { error in if let error { print(error) } else { print("no errors") } } callKitProvider.reportOutgoingCall(with: uuid, connectedAt: nil) } func providerDidReset(_ provider: CXProvider) { // no-op, not required to demonstrate the issue } } Then, I have a UIViewController that is the only screen of this example app: class ViewController: UIViewController { @IBOutlet weak var startCallButton: UIButton! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() startCallButton.addTarget(self, action: #selector(buttonTapped), for: .touchUpInside) } @objc func buttonTapped() { let manager = CallManager() manager.startCall() } } As for app intents, I put together a very simple intent to trigger the start of an outgoing call: struct StartCall: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Start Call" static var openAppWhenRun = false func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { let manager = CallManager() manager.startCall() return .result() } } When the UIViewController is presented and I tap the button to start a call I see the green call banner appear and "no errors" is printed to the console as intended. However, when I open the Shortcuts app and run the app intent, the green banner does not appear and the message Error Domain=com.apple.CallKit.error.requesttransaction Code=6 "(null)” is printed to the console.

I'd like to be able to invoke an App Clip from an Apple Pass notification. I've been using an Apple Pass store card successfully. Ideally, I'd like to be able to tap the notification to open the App Clip. I haven't seen support for this in the documentation, but I wanted to see if anyone had any creative use cases for something like this?

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" ) } }

Hi, I'm implementing a BADownloaderExtension in my app for essential assets. I would like to treat the install case differently than the update case, however it seems whether I "install" or "update" the app (via TestFlight) I always end up getting a BAContentRequest of type .install. I can simulate an update via xcrun, but cannot seem to get into that case in the wild. Is this expected?

Hi, We have an IPv6 only server setup, where we have put AASA file as required: https://qa-jen.noknoktest.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association But Apple CDN does not found it: https://app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1/qa-jen.noknoktest.com Is there any restriction on IPv6 only servers? Everything works with our other IPv4 servers. Note: With alternate mode configuration in application, the AASA is accessible to devices. There is no any geo restriction or IP filtering for server. What is missing to force CDN cache the file fro mentioned server?

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 have a timer displaying on widget which was working fine till iOS 17. However, it is not displayed in updated version. May someone provide the insight for this

I'm working with the FamilyControls API and am running into an issue with sharing ActivityTokens between devices in the same family sharing network. Based on this documentation, ActivityTokens are only accessible and readable by other members in the family sharing network. My app is based on the idea that if one user selects the Games category in the FamilyActivityPicker, then this token can be shared with another device in the same family-sharing network and this other device can read and display the category. So my question is: If a user in the network selects an activity category in the FamilyActivityPicker, can this category token be shared, read, and used by another user in the family-sharing network?
