Hello! I'm currently making an app that requires the ability to activate a screenlock for a point in the future. I currently have my project setup so that I can set a screenlock through a DeviceActivityMonitorExtension (DAM) but regardless of the time interval I use for intervalDidStart and intervalDidEnd the screenlock just seems to apply instantly. I'm under the impression that I'm missing something outside of just passing the interval to the DAM functions. Has anyone accomplished this? Thank you!

With the Live Caller ID example server, the caller lookup dataset is defined in an input.txtpd and processed by running a ConstructDatabase command which creates a block.binpb and an identity.binpb file. In other words, a static input file is being processed into static block and identity files. However, in the real world, the data content for identified and blocked numbers is something which is in a constant state of flux and evolution, as new numbers becoming available, old ones become stale, numbers which were initially considered safe change into being considered malicious etc. etc. Is the example server just that, merely an example using fixed datasets, and an actual production server is able to use live every changing data to formulate its response back to the iPhone OS query? Here's a concrete use case - suppose it's a requirement to permit US nanp numbers but to block anything else. The total number of non US nanp numbers is so large and ever changing that it would be unfeasible to attempt to capture them in an input.txtpd file and then process that, and then to re-capture and re-process it endlessly. Instead what would be required is the ability for the Live Caller ID server to evaluate at query time, using a regular expressions for example, if a number is nanp or not. Is this possible?

Hi everyone, I'm trying to find out if there's a way to mock Screen Time for a specific app (either on a real device or in a simulator). Specifically, I need to set the usage time of an app to something like 15 minutes. I'm not looking to alter the total Screen Time, just the usage time for a single app. Currently, I'm manually keeping the app open for 15 minutes before I can start testing to see if the desired behavior occurs, but this process is slow and frustrating. Unfortunately, I can't reduce the 15-minute threshold, as Apple doesn't allow it for this particular use case. Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Quibr question for Apple - Context: We are developing an app that via screentime access blocks restricted sites for gamblers. However our blocking can be bypassed by going into settings→screentime->Apps With Screen time access" and toggling off access to screentime with device’s FaceID (and not the screentime passcode.) Then they can browse whatever blocked site and delete our app if they wish. Question: We would like to know if there is a way to get the information when and how many times the toggle of our app under the “Apps with screen time access” has been pressed, or its current status. 3rd waay: Alternatively is there a way to monitor if the app is still installed on the device?

In iOS 18, the requestValue method no longer works when the parameter it is called on is not included in the parameterSummary of an AppIntent. This issue causes the app to fail to present a prompt for the user to select a value, resulting in an error with the message: Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection from pid 40685 on anonymousListener or serviceListener was interrupted, but the message was sent over an additional proxy and therefore this proxy has become invalid." Steps to Reproduce: Create a simple AppIntent with the following code: import AppIntents struct Intent: AppIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Intent" static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Test \(\.$category)") {} } @Parameter(title: "Category") private var category: CategoryEntity? @Parameter(title: "Hidden Category") private var hidden: CategoryEntity? @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some ReturnsValue<CategoryEntity?> { var result: CategoryEntity? do { result = try await $hidden.requestValue("Select category") // Doesn't work since iOS 18 as $hidden is not set in parameterSummary } catch { print("\(error)") } return .result(value: result) } } Run the code on a device with iOS 18. Observe that the requestValue method fails to present the selection prompt and instead throws an error. Expected Results: The app should successfully present a prompt for the user to select a value for the hidden parameter using requestValue, even if the parameter is not included in the parameterSummary. Actual Results: The app fails to present the selection prompt and throws an error, making it impossible to use requestValue for parameters not included in parameterSummary. Version/Build: iOS 18.0 Configuration: Tested on various devices running iOS 18. Is there a change in the API that I might have missed?

Hi everyone, I’m encountering an issue with shield.applicationCategories = .all(except: applications.applicationTokens) when trying to shield all apps except a specified few. Despite using this configuration, all apps are getting shielded, including those that should be exempt. I’ve verified that the correct applicationTokens are being used and ensured that there are no conflicting schedules that might override this configuration. Interestingly, the ShieldConfiguration appears for the apps that are supposed to be blocked, but not for the ones in the exception list. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or does anyone have insights into what might be causing this behavior? Thanks in advance!

I've been working a lot with the FamilyControls API and App Shield recently but have encountered a problem with no documentation. I used the FamilyActivitySelection to select the app store to shield(This is just for testing), and then printed out the application token: 1wfY¸êB ò S« öi #×(É?âðw ù/jQ ¿ J ïE¢? ·¿ º<Òd?ý r7¥Ãn N átJ¹ÿ85B_{VAF fC8. ,,¸¯3 T7F ±õü; ¹?v@¯ô Ä \-õ# Ò I know the application token is a Codable object so I was wondering, How do I create an application token using the Token<Application> initializer init(from: any Decoder) throws Creates a new instance by decoding from the given decoder. Using the above data? Do I have to encode first in order to decode it? For reference, the code I tried to use is: newValue.applicationTokens.encode(to: JSONEncoder) if let encoded = try? JSONEncoder().encode(newValue.applicationTokens) { data = encoded print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!) } if let app = try? JSONDecoder().decode(Token<Application>.self, from: data) { let token = Application(token: app) print(token) } else { print("didn't work") } But it prints didn't work every time. What should I do differently?

I've been using DeviceActivityMonitor for 2 years, and recently noticed the following issue, starting in iOS 17.5 (another user also reported here). For a sizable percentage of my users, device activity event thresholds get triggered together. My app sends notifications for every hour of screen time during the DeviceActivitySchedule using event thresholds. Often users will get, for example, the 1, 2, and 3 hour screen time notifications all at the same time. I have a hypothesis for why this is happening: the system sometimes terminates the app extension for various reasons, one being if the 6MB memory limit is reached. It seems as though the retry policy is to retry the failed threshold at the next event threshold. And if the following threshold also fails, they can pile up until the next one succeeds. I think this is a new retry policy since iOS 17, and I believe this because: There used to be a bug where the same threshold was triggered multiple times in a row, indicating that the failed threshold was retried immediately. This bug is no longer around and it's been replaced by the one I am reporting. According to my logs, thresholds that get triggered together are also called earlier when they are supposed to be called - but the callback function does not complete. So this indicates that the threshold isn't just called late, but that it is called once and then retried again later. If anyone could answer the following questions I'd be super grateful: Is there ANY way to log when the system terminates the app extension and for what reason? And not just on my own device, but for all our users in production (because it's hard to reproduce this issue, as it only happens for some portion of our users). Maybe some kind of crash report or failure callback that will allow my to ping my server? Could anyone at Apple could confirm my hypothesis about the new retry policy causing this issue?

PDFKit PDFPage.characterBounds(at: Int) is returning incorrect coordinates with iOS 18 beta 4 and later / Xcode 16 beta 4. It worked fine in iOS 17 and earlier (after showing the same issue during the early iOS 17 beta cycle) It breaks critical functionality that my app relies on. I have filed feedback (FB14843671). So far no changes in the latest betas. iOS release date is approaching fast! Anybody having the same issue? Any workaround available?

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.

It looks like Apple has added some new API(s) to SFSpeechRecognition My app, which is currently listed on App Store does feature speech recognition. Yet, trying to use it under iOS 18.0 throws errors: -[SFSpeechRecognitionTask localSpeechRecognitionClient:speechRecordingDidFail:]_block_invoke Ignoring subsequent local speech recording error: Error Domain=kAFAssistantErrorDomain Code=1101 "(null)" What happens is that after several words are transcribed and displayed, the next sentence results in previous words disappearance. That's probably what that portion of the error text - "Ignoring subsequent local speech recording error: Error Domain=kAFAssistantErrorDomain Code=1101 "(null)" means. The problem occurs ONLY when the app is running under iOS 18.0 Even when it's compiled in Xcode 16.0 using iOS 17.5 everything works fine. Any suggestions?

Our app includes showing external web service with WebView or Safari and returning to the app with custom URL scheme or universal link. When we set "Hide and Require Face ID" feature which was available on iOS 18, neither custom URL scheme nor universal link activated the app. If we only set "Require Face ID", the deep link worked properly. Here is what we've tried: Define custom URL scheme or universal link in the app https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/defining-a-custom-url-scheme-for-your-app https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/supporting-universal-links-in-your-app Implement external web service with one of the following frameworks ASWebAuthenticationSession https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationservices/aswebauthenticationsession/ SFSafariViewController https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/sfsafariviewcontroller Safari WKWebView https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/wkwebview On iOS 18 device, install the app and set "Hide and Require Face ID" Access external web page and tap the link which activates custom URL scheme or universal link We expected the deep link to work, but the results were: Custom URL scheme &amp;amp; ASWebAuthenticationSession/SFSafariViewController/Safari The system shows "Cannot open the page because the address is invalid" Custom URL scheme &amp;amp; WKWebView Nothing happens when tapping the link Universal link Directed to the server with associated domain file, but the system doesn't call the app which is defined in the associated domain file We tested the feature with the app built with Xcode16 beta 6, and the device with iOS 18 Seed 8(22A5350a). Does hide app feature support custom URL scheme and universal link?

Hi, I'm migrating ClockKit complications to WidgetKit. Everything works well except when I run the WidgetKit version, I see complications appear twice each in the complications list for my app when adding them. If I restart the app from Xcode, it won't happen again, only for the first time. But on the actual device, only Watch restart or app reinstall fixes it which is frustrating and would not be ideal for live users. I even tried Apple's example ClockKit project -> added complications to watch face -> added WidgetKit target, CLKComplicationWidgetMigrator and func widgetConfiguration(from complicationDescriptor: CLKComplicationDescriptor) code -> run the app -> new complications appear correctly replacing old ones -> when hold to add/change complications I see it doubled (screenshot attached) and it's even selected twice If I add more complications, they will appear two times as well except one selected in two places almost like it's two same lists created. class ComplicationController: NSObject, CLKComplicationDataSource, CLKComplicationWidgetMigrator { @available(watchOSApplicationExtension 9.0, *) var widgetMigrator: CLKComplicationWidgetMigrator { self } @available(watchOSApplicationExtension 9.0, *) func widgetConfiguration(from complicationDescriptor: CLKComplicationDescriptor) async -> CLKComplicationWidgetMigrationConfiguration? { switch complicationDescriptor.identifier { case "Coffee_Tracker_Caffeine_Dose": return CLKComplicationStaticWidgetMigrationConfiguration( kind: "WidgetKitComplications", extensionBundleIdentifier: "com.example.apple-samplecode.Coffee-Tracker.watchkitapp.watchkitextension.WidgetKitComplications") default: return nil } }

After building my app with Xcode 16 beta 6 I'm getting this warning in my AppIntents. Encountered a non-optional type for parameter: computer. Conformance to the following AppIntent protocols requires all parameter types to be optional: AppIntents.WidgetConfigurationIntent, AppIntents.ControlConfigurationIntent The intent looks something like this struct WakeUp: AppIntent, WidgetConfigurationIntent, PredictableIntent { @Parameter(title: "intent.param.computer", requestValueDialog:"intent.param.request_dialog.computer") var computer: ComputerEntity init(computer: ComputerEntity) { self.computer = computer } init() { } public static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Wake Up \(\.$computer)") } static var predictionConfiguration: some IntentPredictionConfiguration { IntentPrediction(parameters: (\.$computer)) { computer in DisplayRepresentation( title: "Wake Up \(computer)" ) } } @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ProvidesDialog { } } According to the docs though specifying optional is how we say if the value is required or not. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appintents/adding-parameters-to-an-app-intent#Make-a-parameter-optional-or-required So is this warning accurate? If so, how do I specify that a parameter is required by the intent now?

使用APPIntent 的AppShortcutsProvider方式，最多只能添加10个AppShortcut，超过10个，代码编译就会报错 struct MeditationShortcuts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: StartMeditationIntent(), phrases: [ "Start a (.applicationName)", "Begin (.applicationName)", "Meditate with (.applicationName)", "Start a (.$session) session with (.applicationName)", "Begin a (.$session) session with (.applicationName)", "Meditate on (.$session) with (.applicationName)" ] ) } } 如何能做到像特斯拉APP一样

i used ios 18 new feature about custom control widget, but this looks like a bug, look at these pictures, control center list won't show these icons when i used my app for a while, and control center page can show these icons

We have minimum deployments set to iOS 15 in one of the app for both application and widget target. When install app in simulator or real device using Xcode 15.4, it works fine in iOS15, iOS16, iOS17 and iOS18 beta. When install app in simulator or real device, using Xcode 16 beta 6, it works fine in iOS16, iOS17 and iOS18 beta but in iOS 15, our app doesn't show in widget gallery.

We are in the process of updating our legacy Spotlight MDImporter to the new macOS Spotlight App Extension. The transition works well for standard attributes such as title, textContent, and keywords. However, we encounter an issue when adding custom attributes to the CSSearchableItemAttributeSet. These custom attributes are not being persisted, which means they cannot be queried using a Spotlight NSMetadataQuery. Has anyone an idea on how to append custom attributes so that they are included in the indexed file status, as displayed by the shell command mdimport -t -d3 <path> A sample project illustrating the problem is available here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/t8qg51cr1rpwouxdl900b/2024-09-04-Spotlight-extAttr.zip?rlkey=lg6n9060snw7mrz6jsxfdlnfa&dl=1
