Hi, I’m trying to perform UWB ranging between an iPhone and a Qorvo DWM3001CDK accessory using Apple NI’s NINearbyAccessoryConfiguration class. I’ve followed the steps described in the official Apple documentation (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/nearbyinteraction/ninearbyaccessoryconfiguration), specifically for enabling background mode using the init(accessoryData:bluetoothPeerIdentifier:) initializer. The configuration is successfully created, and background mode is enabled. However, when the iPhone starts the session, I doesn’t receive any ranging data from the DWM3001CDK, and the session ends with a timeout. Interestingly, if I use the init(data:) initializer, I can successfully receive ranging data, but this only works in foreground mode, which doesn’t meet my requirements. Steps I’ve followed: Used Core Bluetooth to discover and pair the accessory. Retrieved the configuration data from the accessory according to the third-party UWB device specifications. Initialized the configuration using NINearbyAccessoryConfiguration(accessoryData:bluetoothPeerIdentifier:) for background mode. Started the session with NISession.run(configuration). Waited for updates in the delegate method session(_:didUpdate:). Specific questions: Are there additional requirements for using init(accessoryData:bluetoothPeerIdentifier:) to enable background UWB ranging with the DWM3001CDK? Is there a known difference in how init(data:) and init(accessoryData:bluetoothPeerIdentifier:) handle the ranging process? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

In my Catalyst app I use func setupMailComposer() { // Check if the device can send email guard MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() else { print("Mail services are not available") showMailErrorAlert() return } // Create and configure the mail composer let mailComposeVC = MFMailComposeViewController() mailComposeVC.mailComposeDelegate = self // Set the email details mailComposeVC.setToRecipients(["example@example.com"]) mailComposeVC.setSubject("Subject for your email") mailComposeVC.setMessageBody("This is the body of the email.", isHTML: false) // Attach a file (optional) if let filePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "example", ofType: "pdf"), let fileData = try? Data(contentsOf: URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath)) { mailComposeVC.addAttachmentData(fileData, mimeType: "application/pdf", fileName: "example.pdf") } // Present the mail composer self.present(mailComposeVC, animated: true, completion: nil) } Since I have updated to macOS 15.1 the canSendMail() function returns false although I have configured Apple Mail (like before in 15.0 where it worked flawlessly).

We use call directory extension in one of our applications, we notice that call id is truncated on IOS 18. Example: "Grady GmbH" instead of "GRADY ARCHIE, PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPER GMBH" We notice also if we have calls in the history then the caller id is shown correctly. Issue only on IOS 18.

After transferring the App ownership to a different account, if you update the app on iOS, two identical apps will show up in Settings > Screen Time. Users can't control the blocking settings from before the update - the only fix is to restart the phone. After the next execution of manageStore.shield.applications, users still can't manually disable the restrictions - their only option is to uninstall and reinstall the app. I believe this is related to how Screen Time API's authentication works - it's not just tied to the app's bundle ID, but also linked to the developer account's organization ID. Any suggestions for a clean solution that would allow smooth app updates after the transfer without running into these issues?

I am developing "local push" VoIP application. I have a question about issues I found while testing this app. After repeating a test for 24 hours in which a incoming call followed by an immediate disconnect 0.1 seconds later, the iPhone of incommig call side encountered a 0xBAADCA11 error, causing iOS to force-close the app. (The incidence is low, occurring three times in 17280 times incoming call(24 hours.)) This problem found on iOS17.6.1 (iPhone11Pro). When the same test was performed on iOS18.2 (iPhoneSE3), the problem did not occur. Did iOS take something measures against the 0xBAADCA11 error between iOS17.6.1 and iOS18.2? If yes, I want to encourage customers to upgrade to the latest iOS version, please tell me about it? ※I have attached an ips files and sysdiagnose file of the 0xBAADCA11 error occurring. (please refer sysdiagnose also if you need.)

There is a crash while running the project in Xcode 16.2. The project has been using CMPedometer and CoreMotion since 2020. I wonder: I did not have the NSMotionUsageDescription key added, why is it mandatory to add this key now? “This app has crashed because it attempted to access privacy-sensitive data without a usage description. The app's Info.plist must contain an NSMotionUsageDescription key with a string value explaining to the user how the app uses this data.”

When we request auth from the AuthorizationCenter, it seems that we're only really able to allow users to control the apps on the parent's phone. Is there a way to allow us to let parents manage apps on the kid's device directly through our parent app? For context, we have 2 different apps, one for the parent and one for the child. The child is able to purchase screen time and the parent can redeem them (activate those minutes) from their end.

I have universal links configured for my iOS app which work as expected when the app is installed. When the app is not installed the universal link will go to the browser as expected. What I want to do is redirect to the app store, allow the user to install the app, then redirect them to the initial universal link. Redirecting them to the app store isn't the hard part I can achieve that from the webpage, however I don't know how to save a reference to that initial link to redirect them once they instal the app. What I want the flow to be for a user who doesn't have the app is: visit a universal link (example.com/UUID) redirect to the app store and install the app open the app and redirect to example.com/UUID I've seen some ways people are doing this with the clipboard but I don't love that solution, I also don't want to use a 3rd party service if I can avoid it - how are the 3rd party services making this happen?

Hello, I have an app on the App Store built around WeatherKit and it was working fine, up until this morning when I started seeing errors when using the app. When debugging using Xcode I see the familiar error Failed to generate jwt token for: com.apple.weatherkit.authservice with error: Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" which, according to what I've read on the forums looks like an authentication error. Attaching a network debugger to the Simulator, I saw this error: This I have tried: Verify that WeatherKit is enabled on both Capabilities and App Services tabs on the Dev Portal. Toggle on/off this value and regenerate Provisioning Profiles Uninstall/reinstall Checking that I have API available calls. Nothing. If I create a new Bundle ID and sign with that, it works correctly. But this is not an option since that will force all my customers to download everything from scratch. I am getting emails from customers demanding money back and I can't figure out what has happened. The only thing I can think of, is that I started developing an Apple Watch app to complement the iOS app, but that was last week and everything was working fine.

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?

Hello everyone, I'm experiencing an issue with my app, and I would greatly appreciate any guidance. Here's the situation: My app works flawlessly on the simulator for all iPhone models (16, 16 Pro, 16 Pro Max, SE, etc.). It runs without issues on physical iPhone 11 devices (both mine and a friend's). However, when my friend installs the app from the App Store on their iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16, it crashes immediately upon opening. Steps I’ve taken so far: Verified that the app works on the simulator for the same models where it crashes in real life. Updated the app's minimum deployment target to iOS 18, but this did not resolve the issue. The app still crashes on the physical iPhone 15 Pro and 16 models while continuing to run fine on previous physical devices and all simulated ones. Additionally, I had another friend beta test the app through TestFlight on their iPhone 15 Pro, and they received an alert message indicating that the app had crashed when they tried to open it. This confirms the issue still exists after my attempted fixes. I'm unsure what could be causing this discrepancy between the simulated and physical devices, or what the alert message in TestFlight might signify. Has anyone encountered a similar issue, or does anyone have suggestions on what I should do to fix this? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all. Does anyone know if there's a way to get a list of watch faces for a paired Apple Watch or to set the current face? Or is this just not allowed? I've taken a look at the WatchOS, WatchKit, and WatchConnectivity documentation and no luck there.

Is it possible to change the title "Choose Activites" and also remove the search on the FamilyActivityPicker?

Hello, In our application, we have implemented an app extension to allow users to open the main app directly from the share activity window. To achieve this, we used the openURL(:) method from the NSExtensionContext class, as documented here: openURL(:). However, we received one post from Apple stating that opening the main app directly is typically only supported in extensions such as Today widgets or iMessage apps. They also mentioned that this approach may require an additional review during the App Store submission process. Link: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/nsextensioncontext/1416791-openurl Could someone clarify: If using openURL(_:) in a share extension to open the main app would lead to potential issues during App Store submission? Are there specific guidelines or alternative approaches we should follow to ensure compliance? Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

As discussed and acknowledged here, there is a known bug with the FamilyActivityPicker. When a user expands a category that contains enough tokens to exceed the 50mb memory limit, the FamilyActivityPicker crashes. This happens quite frequently for heavy Safari users. An apple engineer mentioned on this thread that WebDomains shown in the picker are present based on the last 30 days of usage data as surfaced by WebKit. Is there any way a user can clear these WebDomains? Either programatically through our app or any other process we can guide them to as a workaround while this issue is getting fixed?

Hi Apple Developer, I’m working on a message-filtering application and reviewing Apple's documentation on message filtering. The documentation clearly states that MMS messages can be filtered. (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/identitylookup/sms-and-mms-message-filtering) When we refer to MMS, it includes images, short videos, and other supported multimedia formats. However, the ILMessageFilterQueryRequest only provides the message body as a String, meaning we can access text and links but not images or other media files. Could you please confirm whether Apple allows third-party applications to access multimedia content sent from unknown numbers? Looking forward to your quick response. Thanks, Rijul Singhal

I am having an app in which we are using NEHotspotHelper to detect wifi changes. when I try to kill the app and network change detected, we are seeing logs in NEHotspotHelper* module and after that we are able see the logs indicating app launched in background. [Application] application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:), UIApplicationState: 2 But when I checked in the app stack, I couldn't find the app. Then I clicked icon to launch the app, it launched without splash screen as if it came from background. Need your support to understand this is expected behaviour.

We developing a app called Parentgeenee. It's a Parental control app having any limitations on app block from child mobile. Trying to block more than 500 apps but not blocking if any particular method to block a bulk apps.

As I've mentioned before our app uses PTT Framework to record and send audio messages. In one of supported by app mode we are using WebRTC.org library for that purpose. Internally WebRTC.org library uses Voice-Processing I/O Unit (kAudioUnitSubType_VoiceProcessingIO subtype) to retrieve audio from mic. According to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfaudio/avaudiosession/mode-swift.struct/voicechat using Voice-Processing I/O Unit leads to implicit enabling .voiceChat AVAudioSession mode (i.e. it looks like it's not possible to use Voice-Processing I/O Unit without .voiceChat mode). And problem is following: when user starts outgoing PTT, PTT Framework plays audio notification, but in case of enabled .voiceChat mode that sound is playing distorted or not playing at all. Questions: Is it known issue? Is there any way to workaround it?
