Hello, I am currently developing an iOS application that leverages FinanceKit to access transaction history. I have already enabled FinanceKit in my developer account, but I am encountering challenges when trying to test the transaction history feature. Could anyone guide me on the best practices or specific steps needed to effectively test FinanceKit’s transaction history in a development environment? Any insights on mock data handling, API responses, or potential limitations during testing would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi, I try to use NSUserDefaults to share some parameter values ​​between the container app and the system extension. I have added the App Group in Signing & Capabilities in both apps. I set it in the container app and read it in the system extension app, but the information I read from the system extension is nil. I tested that I can read the information directly from the container app. Is the system extension running in the sandbox not allowed to read other app information? But the information I see should be OK, as shown below: The container app code is as follows: NSUserDefaults *sharedDefaults = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:@"group.com.yourcompany.shared"]; [sharedDefaults setObject:@"Sample Data" forKey:@"SharedData"]; [sharedDefaults synchronize]; The system expansion reading code is as follows: NSUserDefaults *sharedDefaults = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:@"group.com.yourcompany.shared"]; NSString *data = [sharedDefaults objectForKey:@"SharedData"]; os_log_debug(logHandle, "NSUserDefaults: %{public}@", data);

Hi everyone, I am trying to compress my data using LZMA2 with the help of CocoaPods. Here are the steps I followed to achieve LZMA2 compression: Added the pod 'SWCompression', '~> 4.8' dependency to my Podfile and installed the pod using the terminal. When I try to compress the data using LZMA2, I am unable to do so because in SWCompression, LZMA2 compression is marked as TBD (To Be Determined). Here is the current status of SWCompression: Deflate BZip2 LZMA/LZMA2 LZ4 Decompression ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ Compression ✅ ✅ TBD ✅ Zlib GZip XZ ZIP TAR 7-Zip Read ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ Write ✅ ✅ TBD TBD ✅ TBD Since LZMA2 compression is still marked as TBD, is there any other way to achieve LZMA2 compression for my data in SwiftUI?

I have an app with a shared internal framework, a main app target, and a widget target. In my shared framework, I have an AppIntent, FooIntent. In addition, I have an AppIntentPackage public struct FooIntentsPackage: AppIntentsPackage { } also in the framework. Finally, in the widget target, I reference that package: struct FooAppIntents: AppIntentsPackage { static var includedPackages: [any AppIntentsPackage.Type] { [ FooIntentsPackage.self ] } } However, when I run this, I get a bunch of these errors: metadata `_$s8Internal15FooAppIntentsV' did not match any imported symbol. I've tried turning off Strip Linked Product in both the Framework and the Widget, to no avail. Any ideas?

Hello, My code calls a macOS system library which returns Foundation Date properties. I have a program that will run every night, and output the data via the Swift JSONEncoder and uses DateEncodingStrategy.iso8601. As you likely know, a DST shift happened over the weekend here in the US. In my output, every single Date changed by 1 hour, despite the fact that nothing in the underlying data changed overnight. Here is an example diff in the output. I see the "Z", which I think should not be affected by DST changes. - "dateAdded" : "2003-12-15T17:02:56Z", - "dateModified" : "2007-03-07T04:31:16Z", + "dateAdded" : "2003-12-15T18:02:56Z", + "dateModified" : "2007-03-07T05:31:16Z", Here is a sample of the data: public struct Track: Codable, Hashable { var dateAdded: Date? var dateModified: Date? } And the encoding is here: extension Array where Element == Track { public func jsonData() throws -> Data { let encoder = JSONEncoder() encoder.outputFormatting = [.prettyPrinted, .sortedKeys] encoder.dateEncodingStrategy = .iso8601 return try encoder.encode(self) } } Pretty basic stuff overall. So my questions are: Am I correct in my assumption that .iso8601 is UTC, and that UTC is daylight savings shift agnostic? Is this the right way to ensure the my JSON is encoded in UTC? If the library I am calling is building its Date incorrectly, how may I work around the problem? I'm not reporting the library name right now, in order to ensure that my code is doing the right thing without assumptions. Thanks for any tips!

My iOS app get access to Calendars on iPhone and iPad (iOS 17) bey when running on Mac (designed for iPad) the app gets the ".notDetermined" authorizationStatus after a call to EKEventStore.authorizationStatus(for: .event). What should I do so that my App gain access to Calendars ?

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?

I recently built a widget with WidgetKit. When I bulding app from Xcode on the simulator widget appears, but when I install app from TestFlight widget is missing. Does anyone know what might have happened to widgets in iOS 18 that could cause this issue? By the way, it works for me in the Simulator but not on a real device.

I created this experience with mywebsite.com?l=1&p=store&p1=1314&table= , and it’s working fine. I thought that by passing a table number, I could identify which table the order came from. However, when I add mywebsite.com?l=1&p=store&p1=1314&table=1, it isn’t recognized, and the app clip doesn’t open.

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" ) } }

I'm currently pulling device-specific data for my app, and I'm manually listing 150 models like this: device_models = [ "iPhone1_1", "iPhone1_2", "iPhone2_1", ... "iPad16_6"] Is there an API endpoint or an automated method to dynamically retrieve a complete list of device models? I'm specifically looking to connect this with the performance metrics API to monitor launch times per device type. Any suggestions on how to streamline or automate this list would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We have a requirement where we have to navigate user to specific section (Passwords) in device settings on tap of a button. I've seen other popular apps doing it & also seen some solutions where people provided an option of using "App-prefs". But as per documentation, this is a private API. What is the solution here if I want to open specific section in device settings without taking a chance of my app getting rejected while submission process?

Hello, I've been working to implement PTT in the way recommended by the documentation. The main issue is that the bluetooth methods are opaque, so I cannot solve for what I need. The result will be that I will have to resort to hacky approaches that the PTT framework seems to be intended to solve (playing silent clips, playing custom notification sounds, having long running background audio sessions). I am testing with Anker soundcore mini as well as airpod pro. Here's the issue: there are 2 very different behaviours depending on whether I'm using a call/fullDuplex session and a halfDuplex session. halfDuplex Anchor mini Current behaviour long press activates siri pressing again after siri is active, starts transmission long press activates siri again pressing again after siri is active, stops transmission pause/play routes to the ongoing media session and plays music Expected behaviour play/pause should map to transmit/stopTransmit IF I have to use long press, it should at least not trigger siri AirPod pro Current behaviour long press changes noise cancellation pause/play routes to the ongoing media session and plays music Expected behaviour play/pause should map to transmit/stopTransmit fullDuplex/call Anchor mini: Current behaviour long press activates siri pressing again after siri is active, starts transmission long press activates siri again pressing again after siri is active, stops transmission pause/play routes to the ongoing media session and plays music Expected behaviour play/pause should map to transmit/stopTransmit IF I have to use long press, it should at least not trigger siri AirPod pro Current behaviour long press changes noise cancellation pause/play maps to mute/unmute (even if media is playing) Expected behaviour This makes sense for call behaviour, I wish it worked this well for PTT The intention here is to be able to fully interact with a channel hands-free. The current API seems to make that impossible. Is that by design? Reading all the docs seems to suggest its intended for transmit/stopTransmit to be doable just with the play/pause buttons, but even apple hardware seems to not support that.

It seems that whenever I scan the contents of ~/Library/Containers with my app, I get the warning [App] would like to access data from other apps, regardless of how often I have already allowed it. When the warning appears, the last scanned file is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.CloudPhotosConfiguration/Data. My sample code: let openPanel = NSOpenPanel() openPanel.canChooseDirectories = true openPanel.runModal() let url = openPanel.urls[0] let enumerator = FileManager.default.enumerator(at: url, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil) while let url = enumerator?.nextObject() as? URL { print(url.path) } Is it expected that one has to allow this warning every time the app is run?

Hello i am trying to install in my apple watch Ultra the soft : Water Minder but i have this message : "com.waterminder.watermin-der.watchkitapp" Cannot Be Installed »! why?

I would like to change the Mac OS terminal settings, shellExitAction value from the default to others value example 0 or 1. I know we can use the defaults command to edit the property list of the terminal. But the value for shellExitAction is nested in the Window Settings value. How to defaults write com.apple.terminal "Window Settings" -string 'Basic { shellExitAction = 2 }; ' correctly? The above I tried is not working and the value does not change.

Within the output of command "sudo sfltool dumpbtm", in addition to records for UID 0/501/502/..., at the top of the output, there are also records for "UID -2" listed. ======================== Records for UID -2 : FFFFEEEE-DDDD-CCCC-BBBB-AAAAFFFFFFFE ======================== ServiceManagement migrated: true SharedFileList migrated: false LaunchServices registered: false Items: #1: UUID: FC60A3EA-E4B0-4D8C-BA07-1C6E2DF3AA52 Name: (null) Developer Name: (null) Type: developer (0x20) Flags: [ ] (0) Disposition: [disabled, allowed, visible, not notified] (0x2) Identifier: Unknown Developer URL: (null) Generation: 0 Embedded Item Identifiers: #1: 16.com.microsoft.teams.TeamsUpdaterDaemon But a uid with -2 should be invalid, and the guid "FFFFEEEE-DDDD-CCCC-BBBB-AAAAFFFFFFFE" followed looks also strange.

Hi, Firstly: The whole question is about MacCatalyst (in IOS it works as intended) In my Maccatalyst app I want to share Userdefaults between app and widget. I have added an app group to the widget and the app and have set up Userdefauls accordingly. Here is the problem: Xcode claims that the app group should start with "group.***" because Catalyst is based on iOS. If I do so, my Catalyst app rises the "App wants to access data from other apps" requester on EVERY launch. So, I can't use it in production. Even if I would accept the requester, the widget isn't able to access the defaults at all because it does not rise that requester, but silently ignores the access. In contrast, if I setup the app group name with our TeamID (instead of group.*) then the requester vanishes, but Xcode does not accept it, issuing a warning and displaying the app group in red. I don't think this is advisable 'state' for production code. Even then widget can't see the data either. What is the recommended way of sharing Userdefaults between Catalyst app and Catalyst Widget (not the iOS widget which displays the "open on iPhone warning" when clicked) on macOS ? Thanks
