Our app uses a 24-hour DeviceActivityMonitor repeating schedule to send users notifications for every hour of screen time they spend on their phone per day. Notifications are sent from eventDidReachThreshold callbacks at 1, 2, 3, etc, hour thresholds to keep them aware of their screen time. We have recently received an influx of emails from our users that after updating to iOS 17.6.1 their DeviceActivityMonitor notifications are saying their screen time was much higher than what is shown in DeviceActivityReport and their device's Screen Time settings. These users have disabled "Share Across Devices" - but I suspect the DeviceActivityMonitor is still getting screen time from their other devices even though that setting is turned off. Has anybody else noticed this, understands what is causing this, or could recommend a fix that we can tell our users to do?

We are facing a serious issue affecting the Live Activity of the our app. If the app is built with Xcode 16 (16A242) the Live Activity does not appear on devices running iOS 17. The live activity does appear on devices running iOS 18 RC. If we build the code with Xcode 15, the Live Activity appears on iOS 17 as expected. To investigate this we also prepared a demo bare-bones project to make sure the Live Activity presence is not affected by part of the existing code. Again the issue appears even of the demo app. Is this a known issue with Xcode16/iOS 18?

Hi there I have a large codebase with many dependencies. I have a bug which I suspect is caused by accessing the keychain when the app has launched for pre-warming and as a result the keychain is inaccessible. Are there any recommendations for simulating or testing this app state, and for identifying any static initialisers in my dependencies that could be contributing to my issue? Thanks

iOS 18 (22A3354) will not offer a option in settings (> Apps > Phone) after calling openSettings to enable live caller id lookup extension. iPhone and MacBook are in the same network. The PIRService runs on MacBook and is reachable via iPhone Safari (via http://MacBookPro:8080/). Hummingbird print log: hb_method=GET hb_uri=/ [Hummingbird] Request. After deploying the application via Xcode to the iPhone no requests are printed in the terminal. The extension was added like documented and bundle id is also checked multiple times. issuerRequestUri in service-config.json is http://MacBookPro:8080/issue. As far as I can tell, everything has been set up in accordance with the Testing Live Caller ID instructions. Is there something missing?

We're adjusting to the new iOS 18 .limited contacts access mode. In our app, we don't request contacts right away. We have a search bar where users can search through their own contacts and select one using the ContactAccessButton. If they do select one, then they're prompted to "Grant Limited Access", not "Grant Full Access", as the screenshot shows below. Later on, we want to offer the ability for users to sync their entire contact book with our app. This will improve their experience on the app by automatically finding all their friends already on the app, without them having to do the manual work of clicking on every single contact in the ContactsAccessPicker. Is this possible right now? It doesn't seem like it—when I call ContactsStore.requestAccess(for: .contacts) while in .limited access mode, nothing happens. But I would like to show a prompt that gives the user the ability to grant all their contacts to improve their experience.

With the introduction of the Tides app in watchOS 11, users can now view information about tides and swells along the coast. Is this data accessible to developers via WeatherKit? In the Tides app, the data source for tides and weather is shown as WeatherKit.

Hi everyone, I'm working on a Swift application and trying to determine whether an application has exceeded its limit based on an ApplicationToken. I have the following function to check if the current app's token matches any of the tokens stored when the app limit is reached: private func isAppLimitExceeded(for application: Application?) -> Bool { guard let application = application, let appToken = application.token else { return false } let exceededTokens = configManager.getAppLimitExceededTokens() return exceededTokens.contains { exceededToken in appToken == exceededToken } } The function configManager.getAppLimitExceededTokens() returns a list of [ApplicationToken] that were saved in UserDefaults when an app limit is reached. The goal is to use the isAppLimitExceeded method to verify if the current shield for the app is triggered due to a limit/threshold being exceeded. This function is part of a class that conforms to the ShieldConfigurationDataSource protocol: class ShieldConfigurationExtension: ShieldConfigurationDataSource { // ... } My concern is whether comparing two ApplicationToken instances using == is a reliable method for determining if they are equal. Are ApplicationToken objects guaranteed to be comparable with == out of the box, or do I need to implement Equatable or another method of comparison? Could there be issues with tokens stored in UserDefaults not matching due to reference or serialization differences? Any guidance on how to ensure proper comparison of these tokens would be appreciated! Thanks!

The following code works perfectly fine in iOS 17, where I can retrieve the desired dependency value through @IntentParameterDependency as expected. However, in iOS 18, addTransaction always returns nil. struct CategoryEntityQuery: EntityStringQuery { @Dependency private var persistentController: PersistentController @IntentParameterDependency<AddTransactionIntent>( \.$categoryType ) var addTransaction func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [CategoryEnitity] { guard let addTransaction else { return [] } // ... } func entities(for identifiers: [CategoryEnitity.ID]) async throws -> [CategoryEnitity] { guard let addTransaction else { return [] } // ... } func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [CategoryEnitity] { guard let addTransaction else { return [] } // ... } } Has anyone else encountered the same issue? Any insights or potential workarounds would be greatly appreciated. iOS: 18.0 (22A3354) Xcode 16.0 (16A242d)

Hi, I'm updating our app to use Xcode 16 and Swift 6 language mode. I'm stuck on updating our live activity code. I looked at the Emoji Rangers sample project and after switching it to Swft 6 mode, it has the exact same errors as our project. The main problem seems to be that Activity is not Sendable, which prevents us from passing it to child tasks to await things like activityStateUpdates and contentUpdates (those are also not Sendable). Is there any guidance on this? Updated sample code? Another project?

Hi, after upgrading to the latest versions of the OS, deep links to settings in my application stopped working. For example: UIApplication.shared.open(URL(string: "App-prefs:General")) it opens settings but doesn't go to a category like on iOS 17. 😭

Hi! We are having a hard time with the universal link, help is appreciated! Thanks in advance! The universal link doesn't work after installation for some time. A user has to wait for from 5 to a couple of hours after the app is installed on the device. This has also affected App reviewers since we need the universal link to work for successful login. Each submission will receive a rejection of we cannot login and it will be approved until we kindly ask them to try again. I believe the JSON is delivered to devices by Apple's CDN system and the fact that it works on most devices most of the time should imply that we have a valid apple-app-site-association setup. So I am really confused about the wait time, which is giving us trouble with app review and a bad user experience

Sometimes when I schedule a DeviceActivityEvent with the includesPastActivity property set to false, the event is never triggered. I tried with thresholds of 20 seconds and 1 minute and both did not work. I submitted feedback with more details FB15220094. Is anyone else experiencing this issue ? or does anyone know about a fix ?

We removed the APP Clip feature in the latest version, and our server-side synchronous update the "apple-app-site-association" file, remove "appclips" content. now, i use Camera app scan the QR code（regardless of whether the app is installed）, the following error occurs："This app clip is not currently available in your country or region". I checked some information and it might be due to Apple CDN cache, or is there something else I need to do?

Description We used to use FIFinderSyncController.showExtensionManagementInterface() to navigate to the corresponding Setting's path via a button in our app to make the user enable our FinderSync App. (Or user can navigate manually via "System Settings -> Privacy & Security -> Extensions -> Added Extensions" themselves in Settings.app) But the UI is now disappearing on macOS 15.0 As a result, if user had previously enabled it, user will now be unable to disable it, and if user had not previously enabled it, user will never be able to enable it. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Create an empty macOS app xcodeprojc, add Finder Sync Extension and run it. Or you can use the repo here to reproduce the issue. https://github.com/Kyle-Ye/MenuHelper

I’m developing a self-management app using Family Controls, but I’ve encountered a FamilyActivityPciker's crash due to an XPC(or UIRemoteView) issue when there are too many tokens(maybe 200+ items) in a category. This makes bad UX, so I’m looking for a workaround. (I guess that the crash reason is cross process memory limitations, such as App Extension 50MB memory limitation.) A lot of web domains contribute to increase the number of tokens, However, even after clearing Safari’s browsing history, the tokens displayed in the FamilyActivityPicker remains unchanged. Is there any workaround that a 3rd party developer can implement to address this issue? prevent FamilyActivityPicker crashes or reduce the number of web domain tokens? For example, if there’s a way to reset the web domain tokens shown in FamilyActivityPicker from the Settings app, I could offer a help to users. Does anybody have ideas? Expanding SNS Category (29 items) It succeeded. Expanding Productivity & Finance (214 items) It failed. The screen froze, then appears blank. When the number of items is around 100, the crash rate is 50%, but when the items are over 200, the crash rate is 100%. Search Bar Problem The search bar also has same problem. If the number of search results are small, it works good without any blank, but if there are a lot of search results (200+), the XCP crashes and the screen appears blank. Code to Reproduce import SwiftUI import FamilyControls struct ContentView: View { @State private var selection = FamilyActivitySelection() @State private var isPickerPresented: Bool = false var body: some View { VStack { Button("Open Picker") { isPickerPresented = true } } .familyActivityPicker(isPresented: $isPickerPresented, selection: $selection) } } Steps to Reproduce Prepare a category that has 200+ items Try to open the category in the picker The screen will freeze, then appears blank.

Hi everyone, Is there any way to detect an app is being mirrored from an iPhone to macOS via iPhone Mirroring (new feature from iOS18 and macOS 15 Sequoia)? My app has a business requirement to disable screen mirroring and recording (or just display a black screen when it's active). However, the current implementation doesn't seem to work with iPhone Mirroring to macOS. Is there any solution for this? Because as far as I know, seems like there is no API to detect it What I've tried so far 1. Count the UIScreen var totalScreens = UIScreen.screens.count Screen counts: iPhone only (without mirroring or airplay): 1 iPhone Airplay (screen mirroring): 2 iPhone Mirroring (iOS18) to MacOS15: 1 conclusion: both iPhone only and iPhone mirroring to macOS returns the same screen count (no difference) 2. Mask the entire screen with passwordTextField.isSecureTextEntry= true Result iPhone screen recording: Black screen iPhone screen mirroring (AirPlay): Black screen iPhone Mirroring (with macOS): No blackscreen, it works as usual The implementation is similar to https://stackoverflow.com/a/67054892 and https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/736112?answerId=765331022#765331022 What I want to achieve is something like the FairPlay Streaming API (https://developer.apple.com/streaming/fps/), where it turns the screen black when a screenshot, screen recording, screen mirroring, or iPhone mirroring is active. Thank you
