I am currently working on implementing the Live Caller ID Extension for my iOS app, and I understand that a backend server is required for this functionality. While I’ve gone through Apple’s documentation, the details on the backend setup are limited and not very clear for my backend team to implement it effectively. Could someone provide a more detailed explanation or sample implementation of the backend server required for this extension? Specifically, we are looking for: A clear understanding of the APIs and endpoints the backend needs to expose. Any authentication mechanisms required for communication with the extension. Data format (e.g., JSON structure) for requests and responses. Example code or additional resources, if available. Any help or guidance in understanding the exact backend requirements would be greatly appreciated.

After upgrading to IOS 18.1.1 CarPlay became terrible. During music playback via USB cable the subwoofer stopped working. Bass is not heard. Sound became very poor. It is impossible to exit CarPlay by pressing the button on the multimedia. if I Disconnect the cable from the phone - the multimedia (radio) works fine again and the subwoofer works normally. CarPlay blocks pressing the keys on the multimedia system. Also it is not possible to update the multimedia, because multimedia menu is inaccessible. When I connect the phone via Bluetooth the timer on the multimedia screen immediately starts, as if I am talking on the phone to somebody. Sound quality via Bluetooth is even worse than via USB. Listening to music (the main function) has become impossible. Please fix this problem. Thank you very much!

When using Mobile Device Management (MDM), it is possible to restrict access to contacts on managed devices. Please see https://support.apple.com/en-us/101932 According to this article, contacts are considered "managed" if they come from either a managed app or a managed account. Does this principle also apply when an MDM-managed app provides contacts via the Contact Provider Extension (CPE)? Specifically, would such "managed" contacts remain inaccessible to unmanaged apps? Our goal is to ensure that unmanaged apps cannot access these contacts. Thanks!

Question: A very small number of users experience this crash： NSInternalInconsistencyException:Use of the class INVocabulary requires the entitlement com.apple.developer.siri. Make sure you have enabled the Siri capability in your Xcode project. But our project definitely has siri configured to be available. During app startup, calling the following code causes a crash： INVocabulary *vocabulary = [INVocabulary sharedVocabulary]; Now that we can't figure it out, is it a bug in the system？

On iOS Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations returns the list of languages the application bundle supports in user-preferred order with the first element being the language the application is running in. Additionally Locale.preferredLanguages returns the list of languages in the order they are presented in Preferences.app > General > Language & Region > Preferred Languages with the first element being the user's "primary language" (i.e. the language the system is running in). However this only seems to be true unless the user has chosen a per-app language which is different from the primary language in which case Locale.preferredLanguages.first is equal to Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations.first - regardless of the latter's position in the Preferred Languages list. Furthermore this seems to change depending on the value of the "AppleLanguages" key in the User Defaults' global domain (see c.f. https://stackoverflow.com/a/42648166). Is this behaviour documented anywhere? Addendum: I know that according to https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/718512?answerId=733680022#733680022 AppleLanguages is an implementation detail, not something that’s considered API. Locale.preferredLanguages is API, though.

A user gave me the crash log on his M4 machine when he first launches the app. I have M1 and my app works fine, which begs the question, why M4 has the crash! This is my app the I developed since 2011 until now.

https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sign_in_with_apple/revoke_tokens/ As shown in the documentation, when I tested via curl, I received a response with status 200, but when I logged in to account.apple.com with the linked account, it shows that it is still connected. I would like to know if there is any additional way to verify that the revoke api is working properly.

Hello, We recently transferred our iOS app from an individual developer account to a corporate account. By following this guide (link), we successfully obtained the transfer identifiers for all our current users and have stored the data fetched from Apple. Now that the transfer has been completed for about 10 hours, we're attempting to remap the old identifiers to the new ones using this guide (link). Unfortunately, all our requests are returning an 'invalid_request' error. I've noticed others have faced the same problem, but I haven't found a solution yet. Can anyone help me resolve this issue?

Just downloaded the new IOS18 update. immediately ran into problems. in particular the new Photo app is dreadful. It is cumbersome to navigate, quite unintuitive to use and, frankly, a mess. I cannot imagine why Apple thought this an improvement compared to the simpler and much more usable previous version. other problems include difficulties with location and home screens on the weather app, and others. i was about to upgrade my iPhone (XR) to the iPhone 16. I am now seriously questioning the sense of that given how cumbersome many of the apps have become.

Does anyone know?

Callerid name is not being updated in device recent calls when incoming call is received or outgoing call is initiated for a number stored in my app unless phone app is force quit and relaunched. Is there any way to sync or refresh the callerid to be displayed in recent calls even if phone app is in background ?

Recently, I have found that the AppShortcut create with AppIntent might be push on the lock screen. But it didn't happen when I was developing. I'm curious how to simulate this case

After updating to watchOS 11.1, updates using WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() in WKRefreshBackgroundTask stopped working. When the background task is triggered, it gets data from the phone and updates the WidgetKit complications. But now the refresh call WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() does not update the complications.

There is a bug when try to open the push notification of appintent at the lock screen.

Hello, I’ve implemented a feature in my app using AppIntent. When the app is not running in the background and is launched for the first time via a shortcut, both application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: and applicationWillEnterForeground: are called. Normally, on the first launch, applicationWillEnterForeground: is not invoked. However, this behavior seems to occur only when the app is launched through a shortcut. I’d like to understand why applicationWillEnterForeground: is being called in this scenario. For reference, the AppIntent has openAppWhenRun set to true. Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm developing a Raycast extension that using Apple MusicKit API, is it safe to store developer tokens in Raycast extensions?

I'm currently working with the FamilyControls API and testing my app on two different devices. Both apps are in the same family-sharing network with one phone being the owner of the network (I'll call this A) and the other one being an adult in the network(I'll call this B). When device A picks apps using the FamilyActivityPicker, it shares that selection with device B (via encoding, sending over network, and decoding on device B). However, interacting with the token (displaying it, using it in shield) throws an error saying the token is null. From the documentation, I thought every token would be the same across all devices in the family sharing network. So my question: How do I send the FamilyActivitySelection from A to B and have the tokens still be functional? Does this functionality only work if A is a "parent" and B is a "child" in the family sharing network? Also, side note: If I reverse the process and send the tokens from B to A. Interacting with the token works exactly as expected. For some reason, it's only going from A to B where it doesn't work.

Hello, I’m experiencing an issue with Siri on iOS where it prioritizes a contact from the wrong account, even though I’ve set a default account for Contacts. Details of the issue: I have two contact groups: Exchange (Outlook) — my default account. iCloud. There’s a contact, "Alena Jorse," which exists in both groups: In the Exchange group, the name is saved as Alena Jorse. In the iCloud group, it is saved as Alena Jorse with double-strike formatting (e.g., "Alena Jorse**"). Both contacts have the same phone number. When I ask Siri to call "Alena Jorse," it selects the iCloud contact ("Alena Jorse**") instead of the Exchange contact, despite Exchange being set as the default Contacts account in my iOS settings. Expected Behavior: Siri should prioritize the contact from the default account (Exchange) and ignore other accounts unless specified. Steps to Reproduce: Have duplicate contacts in two groups (Exchange and iCloud) with the same phone number. Set Exchange as the default Contacts account. Ask Siri to call the contact. Troubleshooting Steps Taken: Ensured the default account is set to Exchange. Verified both contacts have the same phone number. Tested by disabling iCloud temporarily, which resolves the issue (but is not a viable long-term solution). Request: Could you please advise if this is intended behavior or a bug? If it’s a configuration issue, how can I ensure Siri prioritizes the default account for contacts? If it’s a bug, could this be investigated further? Thank you for your assistance.
