Hello,
I’m building an app that helps people spend less time on social media apps.
For that, I make heavy use of Apple’s Screen Time APIs, such as ManagedSettings and FamilyControls.
When an app is locked using a ShieldConfiguration, the user has to open my app in order to unlock it (e.g. enter a code).
This is very cumbersome because no documented API exists to open the parent app (=my app) from the ShieldActionDelegate (also part of my app) when the user presses a button of the ShieldConfiguration.
The ShieldActionDelegate callback just offers three options in its ShieldActionResponse:
.none
.defer
.close
.openParentApp is missing.
We are working around this limitation by sending a local push notification that the user has to tap on.
This has multiple drawbacks:
It has to be ensured that notification permission has been granted.
It has to be ensured that notifications can be delivered even while focus is enabled.
Features such as Apple Intelligence notification summaries and notification prioritization can heavily delay delivering notifications and thus frustrate the user.
Neither my users nor myself do understand why this is not possible in a smoother way, at least according to the documentation.
There are 3rd party apps that have such functionality, they can directly open their own app from a button press in the Shield, see here:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/applocker-passcode-lock-apps/id1132845904
It would be great if Apple could level the playfield for all developers and document how this is achievable, because technically it clearly is.
Thanks a lot and have a great day!

Hi, I have pretty trivial problem. So, I am trying to use URLSession network request but I am getting errors.
This code is in the shared file that works when I run it as app, but when I run it as AppClip it is not working. Running on the simulator is working even as AppClip.
Here is the code (pretty trivial):
let session = URLSession.shared
let url = URL(string: "https://learnappmaking.com/ex/users.json")!
let task = session.dataTask(with: url, completionHandler: { _, response, error in
print(error)
print(response)
})
task.resume()
I am getting this error:

We’re trying to enable deep links for our application com.remonon.remonon. Only links that start with https://remonon.com/app/ should redirect to our app.
I’ve closely followed the tutorial at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/supporting-associated-domains.
Our apple-app-site-association is correctly placed at https://remonon.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association and looks like this:
{
"applinks": {
"details": [
{
"appIDs": [
"25N8TLPALL.com.remonon.remonon"
],
"components": [
{
"/": "/app/*",
"comment": "Only URLs under /app/ will be handled as deep links"
}
]
}
]
},
"webcredentials": {
"apps": [
"25N8TLPALL.com.remonon.remonon"
]
}
}
Our *.entitlements looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

</plist>
Our apple-app-site-association was published two weeks ago to make sure apple’s caches were able to catch up in the meantime.
Still, opening the link https://remonon.com/app/test on a real device with our app installed does not open our app but safari.
A while ago, when all remonon.com-urls should open our app instead of only those which have the "app" path prefix, the deep links was working perfectly fine.

I am currently building a screen time app and I am trying to figure out how to persist the family activity picker so that when my app closes and re-opens, the app selections in it are saved. I've successfully implemented core data and figured out how to store names of the selected apps in a list like this -
Core Data addApp Function -
func addApp(name: String, context: NSManagedObjectContext){
let newApp = AppToken(context: context)
newApp.bundleIdentifier = name
saveData(context: context)
}
Adding app selections to Core Data (after the family activity picker has updated the selection) -
.onChange(of: model.selectionToDiscourage)
{
for i in model.selectionToDiscourage.applications {
print(i)
dataController.addApp(name:i.localizedDisplayName ?? "Temp", context: moc)
}
Printing saved selections in a list (bundleIdentifier is my attribute for my appToken entity, but I am just pulling the names here. For whatever reason all of them end up being Temp" as shown above anyway. In other words name:i.localizedDisplayName is not working and Temp is shown in the list for every app chosen) -
if dataController.savedSelection.isEmpty {
Text("No Apps Selected")
.foregroundColor(.gray)
} else {
List(dataController.savedSelection, id: \.self) { app in
Text(app.bundleIdentifier ?? "Unknown App")
}
.scrollContentBackground(.hidden)
}
So, when my app closes and reopens, the list of app names persists. Now, my issue is figuring out how to write back to selectionToDiscourage and loading the family activity picker with those saved apps. I have no idea if I should be doing this a different way and if using Core Data is overkill, but I cannot figure out how it's syntactically possible to write back to this family activity picker when the app reopens -
.familyActivityPicker(isPresented: $isPresented, selection:$model.selectionToDiscourage)
Thank you to whoever takes a look at this!!
Hi,
We’ve developed a workout app with a Live Activity feature to help users launch the mirroring view on iPhone, similar to the built-in workout app for biking activities.
While Live Activities are now available on watchOS 11, the integration feels a bit off for our Workout app. Is there a way to disable or exclude our Live Activity from appearing on watchOS?
Currently, when a user starts a workout, the Live Activity appears at the bottom of the screen, requiring users to tap the screen before they can use our app. The built-in Workout app doesn’t have this issue.
Additionally, our Live Activity appears in the Smart Stack, duplicating content with the built-in Workout Live Activity.
We’re unsure if we missed any keys or settings to exclude Live Activity from watchOS.
Hey there! I faced issue in iOS 18 and newer when Spotlight search doesn't show my App in results. In older versions it works. Here is my code:
func configureUserActivitity(with id: String, keywords: [String]) {
let activity = NSUserActivity(activityType: id)
activity.contentAttributeSet = self.defaultAttributeSet
activity.isEligibleForSearch = true
activity.keywords = Set(keywords)
activity.becomeCurrent()
self.userActivity = activity
}
I didn't find any reasons why it doesn't work now. Maybe I should report a bug?
I have a basic setup following WWDC 2020 on Safari Web Extensions and another one on XPC. The video even mentions that one can use UserDefaults or XPC to communicate with the host app. Here is my setup.
macOS 15.2, Xcode 16.2
A macOS app (all targets sandboxed, with an app group) with 3 targets:
SwiftUI Hello World
web extension
XPC Service
The web extension itself works and can update UserDefaults, which can then be read by SwiftUI app - everything works by the book.
The app can communicate to the XPC service via NSXPCConnection - again, everything works fine.
The problem is that the web extension does not communicate with XPC, and this is what I need so that I can avoid using UserDefaults for larger and more complex payloads.
Web Ext handler code:
class SafariWebExtensionHandler: NSObject, NSExtensionRequestHandling {
func beginRequest(with context: NSExtensionContext) {
// Unpack the message from Safari Web Extension.
let item = context.inputItems[0] as? NSExtensionItem
let message = item?.userInfo?[SFExtensionMessageKey]
// Update the value in UserDefaults.
let defaults = UserDefaults(suiteName: "com.***.AppName.group")
let messageDictionary = message as? [String: String]
if messageDictionary?["message"] == "Word highlighted" {
var currentValue = defaults?.integer(forKey: "WordHighlightedCount") ?? 0
currentValue += 1
defaults?.set(currentValue, forKey: "WordHighlightedCount")
}
let response = NSExtensionItem()
response.userInfo = [ SFExtensionMessageKey: [ "Response to": message ] ]
os_log(.default, "setting up XPC connection")
let xpcConnection = NSXPCConnection(serviceName: "com.***.AppName.AppName-XPC-Service")
xpcConnection.remoteObjectInterface = NSXPCInterface(with: AppName_XPC_ServiceProtocol.self)
xpcConnection.resume()
let service = xpcConnection.remoteObjectProxyWithErrorHandler { error in
os_log(.default, "Received error: %{public}@", error as CVarArg)
} as? AppName_XPC_ServiceProtocol
service?.performCalculation(firstNumber: 23, secondNumber: 19) { result in
NSLog("Result of calculation XPC is: \(result)")
os_log(.default, "Result of calculation XPC is: \(result)")
context.completeRequest(returningItems: [response], completionHandler: nil)
}
}
}
The error I'm getting:
Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service named com.***.AppName.AppName-XPC-Service was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 3 - No such process."
What am I missing?
Our team has recently added support to our app for Live Activities where the source of the data is driven from the app itself (not push notifications).
We've noticed a crash happening in our core data code caused by the following error thrown by the addPersistentStore function where it would attempt to recover and eventually crash. Here's an error we created to help us debug that contains the error details:
Domain: CoreData Code: 1 NSLocalizedDescription: Error performing migration for databaseName=mydb.sqlite. Error details=The file couldn’t be saved because you don’t have permission. - userinfo: ["reason": No permissions to create file; code = 1]
After some trouble shooting, we managed to reproduce the issue by doing a hard reboot while we're running a live activity. It appears that when the device starts back up, the Live Activity starts which triggers the app to hit didFinishLaunchingWithOptions which is where we get our Core Data store initialized.
The problem is that our app uses Data Protection using NSFileProtectionCompleteUntilFirstUserAuthentication and we'd prefer to keep it that way.
The Core Data db is present in the app sandbox and we're also seeing logs to suggest a failure trying to access NSUserDefaults as well.
Is there an accepted solution for this? Is it expected that a Live Activity would cause an application to launch prior to the device being unlocked for the first time? Is there a way to change that?
When I search for text in a .html file using the Command-Spacebar spotlight popup the .html file is never shown in the results. On the other hand the .html file does show in the result when I search in the Finder window search field, or when I search in the Terminal using mdfind.
Why is this and how can I fix? I want to use spotlight to find .html files.
You can reproduce the problem like this:
echo spotlighttest > testone.txt
% echo spotlighttest > testtwo.html
% mdfind spotlighttest
2024-12-30 14:22:28.552 mdfind[28326:550500] [UserQueryParser] Loading keywords and predicates for locale "en_US"
2024-12-30 14:22:28.553 mdfind[28326:550500] [UserQueryParser] Loading keywords and predicates for locale "en"
~/Desktop/Spotlighttest/testone.txt
~/Desktop/Spotlighttest/testtwo.html
I believe this shows that both files are index properly, but if you then do Command-Spacebar and search for "Spotlighttest" I think you will see that only testone shows as a result.
Edit I believe this is a change in macOS 15.x and used to work correctly in previous macOS

Debugging
Hi, I'm in the process of creating an App + Helper Tool combo application, and depending on the necessity of root privileges, I'm setting up two paths in the app:
If root privileges are not necessary, I'm using SMJobSubmit rather directly:
var submissionError: Unmanaged<CFError>?
let submissionResult = SMJobSubmit(kSMDomainUserLaunchd, plist, nil, &submissionError)
where plist contains these items:
Label=com.***.redactedApp.redacted,
ProgramArguments=[path/to/helper-tool, commandName, commandArg1, commandArg2]
RunAtLoad=1,
KeepAlive=0
and it works as necessary, and performs the operations.
Now, in the case of privilege escalation being necessary, this call becomes a bit more complex:
let authorization = SFAuthorization()
var authRef: AuthorizationRef?
do {
try authorization?.obtain(withRight: kSMRightModifySystemDaemons,
flags: [.extendRights, .interactionAllowed])
authRef = authorization?.authorizationRef()
} catch let error {
// Logging error
}
var submissionError: Unmanaged<CFError>?
let submissionResult = SMJobSubmit(kSMDomainSystemLaunchd, plist, authRef, &submissionError)
while using the same plist, same executable at the same path, same Label.
However, when using the second path, suddenly SMJobSubmit fails:
Error Domain=CFErrorDomainLaunchd Code=2 "(null)"
Now, naturally I headed over to system logs in Console.app, and this is the weirdest - there is nothing suspicious near the log item I submit with the above error from the main application.
The tool is embedded in the Contents/MacOS folder. However, my problem is that anything that I can think of seems to lead to the same thought: it should be a problem in both cases, not just the privileged one.
Is there something extra that must be taken care of when using SMJobSubmit with privileged helper tools?
The functionality of authorizationStatus and requestAuthorization is completely broken. I'm using Xcode 15.3 and iOS 17.4.
Does anyone have a solution?
authorizationStatus doesn't behave as promised
Revoking authorization in the system-wide settings does not change the authorizationStatus while the app is not closed. Calls to center.authorizationStatus will still return .approved instead of .denied.
Even closing and relaunching the app after revoking authorization does not work: authorizationStatus is then .notDetermined when it should be .denied.
Tapping "Don't Allow" in the alert shown after an initial call to requestAuthorization leaves the authorizationStatus unchanged, i.e. at .notDetermined. This is contrary to the promised outcome .denied (defined as: "The user, parent, or guardian denied the request for authorization") and contrary to the definition of .notDetermined (defined as: "The app hasn’t requested authorization", when it just did).
Same issue when first tapping "Continue" followed by "Don't Allow" on the next screen.
As a consequence of authorizationStatus being broken, its publisher $authorizationStatus is worthless too.
requestAuthorization doesn't behave as promised
This is most likely a consequence of the corrupted authorizationStatus: when revoking authorization in the system-wide settings, a call to requestAuthorization opens the authorization dialogue instead of doing nothing. It is thus possible to repeatedly ask a user to authorize Family Controls.
Code sample
To reproduce, create a new SwiftUI app, add the "Family Controls" capability and a button executing the following task when tapped:
let center = AuthorizationCenter.shared
var status = center.authorizationStatus
print(status)
do {
try await center.requestAuthorization(for: .individual)
print("approved")
} catch {
print("denied")
}
status = center.authorizationStatus
print(status)
Both view and modifier versions of the FamilyActivityPicker crash randomly when selecting some items (usually the other option) throwing these in the console:

This also happens in production apps like the Opal.
The questions are:
At least how to detect it to be able to manually reload the sheet (like what Opal does and shows an alert when this happens)
How to prevent it in the first place?
I really appreciate any help you can provide.
I created a ShieldConfigurationExtension in Xcode 14.3 with File > New > Target > ShieldConfigurationExtension. This created the extension with all the necessary Info.plist values (correct NSExtensionPrincipalClass, etc.), with the extension included in embedded content in the host app target.
No matter what I try, the extension is not getting invoked when I shield applications from my host app. The custom UI does not show as the shield, and looking at the debugger, an extension process is never invoked.
I am shielding categories like this:
let managedSettings = ManagedSettingsStore()
...
managedSettings.shield.applicationCategories = .all()
And my extension code overrides all the ShieldConfigurationDataSource functions.
class ShieldConfigurationExtension: ShieldConfigurationDataSource {
override func configuration(shielding application: Application) -> ShieldConfiguration {
return ShieldConfiguration(
backgroundBlurStyle: UIBlurEffect.Style.systemThickMaterial,
backgroundColor: UIColor.white,
icon: UIImage(systemName: "stopwatch"),
title: ShieldConfiguration.Label(text: "You are in a Present Session", color: .yellow)
)
}
override func configuration(shielding application: Application, in category: ActivityCategory) -> ShieldConfiguration {
return ShieldConfiguration(
backgroundBlurStyle: UIBlurEffect.Style.systemThickMaterial,
backgroundColor: UIColor.white,
icon: UIImage(systemName: "stopwatch"),
title: ShieldConfiguration.Label(text: "You are in a Present Session", color: .yellow)
)
}
override func configuration(shielding webDomain: WebDomain) -> ShieldConfiguration {
return ShieldConfiguration(
backgroundBlurStyle: UIBlurEffect.Style.systemThickMaterial,
backgroundColor: UIColor.white,
icon: UIImage(systemName: "stopwatch"),
title: ShieldConfiguration.Label(text: "You are in a Present Session", color: .yellow)
)
}
override func configuration(shielding webDomain: WebDomain, in category: ActivityCategory) -> ShieldConfiguration {
return ShieldConfiguration(
backgroundBlurStyle: UIBlurEffect.Style.systemThickMaterial,
backgroundColor: UIColor.white,
icon: UIImage(systemName: "stopwatch"),
title: ShieldConfiguration.Label(text: "You are in a Present Session", color: .yellow)
)
}
}

This is
Hi All,
requirement - "Search (placeholder) in (myApp)".
When user speaks this strings, Siri should open the app and pass the placeholder.
This worked for me only when i used an AppEnum (with specific defined set) with AppEntity.
I want the placeholder to be dynamic and not defined via the AppEnum.
Have observed this feature working fine with Youtube, Spotify & Whatsapp apps.
Is there anything else that these app add specifically to make this work. ?
Also in these app's Siri settings, there is a toggle named - 'Use with Ask Siri'.
Could someone please help in understanding, how this option is enabled ?
Hi everyone, on iOS, when a VoIP call arrives and the user accepts it from the lock screen (after unlocking with Face ID/Touch ID), is there any way to automatically bring my app to the foreground and show the in-app call screen, instead of staying in the system CallKit UI?

Encountered an error when fetching weather data subset; location=<+42.40865786,-88.96911526> +/- 0.00m (speed -1.00 mps / course -1.00) @ 6/23/25, 2:56:47 PM Central Daylight Time, error=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors 2 Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)"
Others are reporting this same problem here in the forums. We need a solution!
A message filter extension is only forwarded SMSs by the OS for filtering, iMessages aren't.
But what is the situation with RCS messages? Will they be filterable by a message filtering extension?
