I'm the developer of Camera RawX (avail on the Mac App Store).
I'm working on Camera RawX for iOS to provide Quick Look support for camera RAW files not supported by iOS.
I use the Files app to open a RAW file to invoke Quick Look on my iPad (it is running iOS 17.6.1).
The RAW file in question is a Fuji compressed RAF file.
When I tap on the RAF file, iOS opens the Quick Look window, but my app's Quick Look extension is not called.
If the RAW file in question is a Sigma Foveon X3F file, a file that has no native Apple RAW support, then my Quick Look extension is called and I'm able to display the image in the Quick Look window without issue.
It seems that a system recognized RAW file extension (RAF in this case), is not triggering my Quick Look extension. On the macOS, this works fine without any issue.
The strange thing is that my Thumbnail extension is being called when the RAW files show up in Files. Even if it is a RAF file. So it seems like a bug to me or am I missing something crucial in my Info.plist file?

Since I updated to iOS 18, CallKit-linked caller not display on screen of CarPlay.
CarPlay display only "{App Name} Caller ID".
When iOS version was 17.x, CarPlay displayed caller name of CallKit-linked contact.
I think CarPlay should perform the same function as iOS 17.
Please review it.
I'm trying to add Siri support to my app for sending voice messages. I've implemented INSendMessageIntentHandling in my main app target.
It looks like it's getting as far as recording the voice message and passing my intent handler an INSendMessageIntent with an audio attachment, but I'm not able to read the attachment file.
func handle(
intent: INSendMessageIntent,
completion: @escaping (INSendMessageIntentResponse) -> Void
) {
if let attachment = intent.attachments?.first,
let audioFile = attachment.audioMessageFile,
let fileURL = audioFile.fileURL
{
// This branch runs
// fileURL is "file:///var/mobile/tmp/SiriMessages/89F738F7-6092-439A-B4FA-2DD9A99F0EED.caf"
let result = processMessageAudio(url: fileURL)
completion(result)
return
}
// This line isn't reached
completion(.init(code: .failure, userActivity: nil))
}
private func processMessageAudio(url: URL) -> INSendMessageIntentResponse {
var fileRef: ExtAudioFileRef?
if url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() {
logDebug("File access allowed")
} else {
// This branch runs
logDebug("File access not allowed")
}
defer {
url.stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource()
}
let openStatus = ExtAudioFileOpenURL(url as CFURL, &fileRef)
// openStatus is -54 (kAudio_FilePermissionError)
return INSendMessageIntentResponse(code: .failure, userActivity: nil)
}
I'm not sure what I'm missing. It looks like there should be an audio file, and Siri shows a preview of the audio for confirmation.

I would like to create a MailKit extension that will allow me to manage my existing messages. I would like to move them around form folder to folder and reqad and update their headers to store some metadata that will be used by the extension.
Looking at the documentation for MailKit suggests that I can only implement 4 types of handlers (content blocker, action handler, compose handler and security handler). I can’t see anything in the docs about being able to get a list of messages in the inbox and manipulate them.
Am I missing something?
I’d love to hear from someone who knows more about this topic before I get into a dead-end rabbit hole.
cheers,

We have developed an application using xamarin forms , our iOS app is working fine till iOS17 , if we upgraded our OS version to iOS18 app is not working properly.
Visual studio for Mac 2022
Xcode 16
Minimum OS version 15.4
Xamarin.iOS version 16.4.023
Previous I thought that this is something only Apple apps can do, but I just noticed that Google drive can do that too. But I couldnt find the documentation for that. Does anyone know? thanks!
Hello,
I think it is quite a common use-case to open the parent app that owns the ShieldActionDelegate when the user selects an action in the Shield.
There are only three options available that we can do in response to an action:
ShieldActionResponse.none
ShieldActionResponse.close
ShieldActionResponse.defer
It would be great if this new one would be added as well:
ShieldActionResponse.openParentApp
While finding a workaround for now, the problem is that the ShieldActionDelegate is not a normal app extension. That means, normal tricks do not work to open the parent app from here.
For example, UIApplication.shared.open(url) does not work because we can’t access UIApplication from the ShieldActionDelegate unfortunately.
NSExtensionContext is also not available in the ShieldActionDelegate unfortunately, so that’s also not possible.
There are apps however, that managed to find a workaround, in my research I stumbled across these two:
https://apps.apple.com/de/app/applocker-passcode-lock-apps/id1132845904?l=en-GB
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/app-lock/id6448239603
Please find a screen recording (gif) attached.
Their workaround is 100% what I’m looking for, so there MUST be a way to do so that is compliant with the App Store guidelines (after all, the apps are available on the App Store!).
I had documented my feature request more than 2 years ago in this radar as well: FB10393561
Hey, I was wondering on how to react to the focus mode being turned off inside the FocusFilterIntent. I've successfully managed to call a specific action when the focus is being set, but I now want to deactivate/ react when the focus is being deactivated. How can I achieve something like this?
iOS Message Filter Extension - deferQueryRequestToNetwork(completion:) error
I made a test app using the iOS App template and added a target using the Message Filter Extension template which invokes deferQueryRequestToNetwork(completion:) when receiving an SMS.
The app and the extension have same "Associated Domains Capabilities" with "messagefilter" pointing to a server which receives query requests and returns proper responses. The extension has the "ILMessageFilterExtensionNetworkURL" key in Info.plist file which specifies the server URL.
deferQueryRequestToNetwork(completion:) throws a com.apple.calls.messagefilter error which reads "Extension's containing app (appID ) unauthorized to defer requests to host "
We are planning on renaming our app. The new name is not like the current name. It will be renamed in the App Store as well as the App display name. Yet, we still want new and existing users to be able to find the app by using the old name in search/spotlight under iOS. A great example of this is entering Twitter to find the X app and it shows up in the App section in the Spotlight search.
Are there any guidelines, settings, or tricks for doing this? Some have suggested adding a Spotlight search term but that will not have it show up in the App section I fear.
(Also have a case ID, 9879068)
We have an app that user use to check in/out from work for example. We have a button in-app do do this. Now I'm trying to add buttons to our widgets and our new live activity so that users don't have to open the app.
It's crucial that the live activity and widgets always show the exact same state.
Otherwise it'll look pretty bad if a user has both a live activity and a widget showin at the same time.
However, we have noticed that sometimes, pressing the button in the live activity, running the app intent, will not always make the widget update (we call reloadAllTimelines()). The other way around, i.e. press the button on widget to update live activity always works. (they both call the same app intent)
When running it in debug mode on a phone from Xcode, it always works, but when running it just on the phone it's unreliable.
My first thought was, of course, that's related to the widget "budget", but according to the docs HERE, it should not be applied when interacting with a widget, calling an app intent.
My question: HOW can I make my widget reliably refresh using an app intent invoked from a live activity??
I have a ready small project with simple buttons and trace labels that display this issue that I'm happy to supply to someone.
Hello all, I'm finding myself with a compile error when trying to use a defined UTType for Transferable conformance when the type is also an AppEntity.
The compiler error is
Could not determine the identifier of `.todo`. Please use a UTType defined by the UniformTypeIdentifiers framework
However, said compiler error only shows up after adding AppEntity conformance.
So, in order to reproduce:
Create any type, conform to Codable
struct Todo: Codable {
var id: UUID
var title: String
var completed: Bool
}
Create a UTType extension for the new type
extension UTType {
public static let todo: UTType = UTType(exportedAs: "org.nameghino.types.todo")
}
Add Transferable conformance
extension Todo: Transferable {
static var transferRepresentation: some TransferRepresentation {
CodableRepresentation(contentType: .todo)
ProxyRepresentation(exporting: \.title)
}
}
At this point, the code compiles correctly on Xcode 16.2 beta 2 (16C5013f)
Add AppEntity conformance
extension Todo: AppEntity {
static var typeDisplayRepresentation: TypeDisplayRepresentation = "todo_title"
static var defaultQuery = Todo.Query()
var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation {
DisplayRepresentation(title: "\(title)")
}
struct Query: EntityQuery {
typealias Entity = Todo
init() {}
func entities(for identifiers: [UUID]) async throws -> [Todo] {
return []
}
func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [Entity] {
return []
}
}
}
Now the code is not compiling with the aforementioned error.

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 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"
)
}
}
Several users have reported that my iOS Action and Share Extensions is not visible.
Now one of the TestFlight users has reported the same. Notice this user has been using the app for one year, so they know how to use it.
Doing FaceTime and them sharing the screen, we have tried:
Deleting app and downloading from App Store
Deleting app, turning device off (call was off) and turning it on, downloading from App Store
Deleting app, turning device off (call was off) and turning it on, downloading from TestFlight
They can open the app, they just do not see the extensions. I would have thought it was the activation rules inside of the InfoPlist, but they are the same for all users and my other testers are not facing the issue.
Device is iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18.1
What other steps could I follow? What other information could I gather to fix this?
Hello,
We're facing an issue with app links failing and falling back to browser website journeys. Our apple-app-site-association file is hosted publicly and the app to app journeys have been working correctly up to very recently - we are trying to identify any potential network infra changes that could have impacted the Apple CDN being able to retrieve the apple-app-site-association file.
We can see in the iPhone OS logs that the links cannot be verified by the swcd process, and using the app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1 api via curl can also see the CDN has no record of the AASA file.
Due to the traffic being SSL and to a high volume enterprise site it is difficult for use to trace activity through anything other that the source IPs - we cannot filter on user-agent for "AASA-Bot/1.0.0" as breaking the SSL would be impactful due to the load. Is it possible to get a network range used by the Apple CDN to retrieve the AASA file as this would help us identify potential blocking behaviour?
Thank you.
I have my application named "TestDataPro" in apple store.
When I open the application and click on apple icon, my application crash.
It is working fine in MACOS version 14.2.1.
But it is causing crash in MACOS version 14.5 and 14.6 with having Apple M1 or M2 chip.
While for the same MACOS version with having intel chip it is working fine.
I have attached crash log. Can you please help me to find the root cause for this?

I'm reaching out to see if anyone else is experiencing issues with the Live Caller ID feature on iOS. We recently encountered a problem where the feature stopped working entirely.
Here's a brief overview of the situation:
We were monitoring test traffic on our backend and noticed everything came to a halt around 1:00 AM UTC on November 15th.
After this time, any attempts to reach our backend through calls failed completely.
I tested this across multiple devices running iOS 18.2 and iOS 18.0.
I used both TestFlight builds and development builds via Xcode, which should communicate directly with our backend.
I experienced the problem on our main application as well as a dedicated test app.
To troubleshoot further, I even set up a local server on localhost and tried directing requests there, but the requests did not reach the local server when a call was received.
Further debugging in Console.app revealed the following error:
identity request returned error: Error Domain=com.apple.CipherML Code=400 "Error Domain=com.apple.CipherML Code=401 "Unable to request data by keywords batch: failed to fetch token issuer directory"
However, when I manually tried to hit our server endpoint using curl, the request successfully reached the server:
curl https://our_server/something
hb_method=GET hb_uri=/something [Hummingbird] Request -- log on backend
This suggests that while our backend is responsive, the requests from the iOS client side are simply not being initiated.
