We are integrating the Microsoft Web Chat Control inside a WKWebView in our iOS application. The microphone button (used for speech input) works as expected when the app is active. However, we are facing an issue when the app is sent to the background and then brought back to the foreground. Issue Details: When the app returns from background to foreground: 🔹 The mic button becomes unresponsive (taps are not recognized). 🔹 No permission prompt or speech functionality is triggered. 🔹 Other elements of the Web Chat control continue to work fine. This issue seems isolated to iOS and WKWebView usage. We have verified that microphone permissions are granted and there are no system-level blocks.

I'm device manufacturer and in future planning to get my device matter certified. If I want my device data for analytics purpose into my cloud than what is the best way possible. My research says that the most latest approach suggested by apple is, developing a custom mobile app using device homekit sdk and subscribe to device state and send it to my cloud. If I go that route, will it work even though the device was onboarded via homekit app and homekit hub device is also there. I want to make sure that both path will be active, device to hub to home app and device to custom app to my cloud, and both on matter ecosystem. The homekit sdk and matter support mentioned here https://developer.apple.com/apple-home/matter, are these two same thing?

Hi, We’re developing a BLE peripheral device and encountered a connection issue when connecting two devices (Device A and Device B) simultaneously to an iOS device. Problem: On iOS 18, we are experiencing occasional BLE timeouts and disconnections when both devices are connected at the same time. On iOS 16, we did not encounter this issue under the same conditions. What we’ve tried: Adjusted the connection interval from 30ms to 15ms. This seems to have improved stability somewhat. However, we still observe intermittent timeout/disconnection issues. Questions: Are there any known changes in BLE connection handling or timing constraints in iOS 18? Are there recommended connection parameter settings (interval, latency, timeout, etc.) for multi-device BLE connections in iOS? Is there a way to debug or log more details about the disconnection reasons on the iOS side? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, What is the best and Apple recommended way to get display name and its vendor information? The CoreGraphics framework provides ModelNumber and VendorNumber only. Looks like IOKit does not provide any documented way at all. Are there any daemon safe way to get such information? Thank you in advance, Pavel

While compiling nRF5340 target of Dockkit ADK 1.0 following the guide of README.md, I selected the latest Nordic SDK, because there is no specified SDK version in the README.md. But it seems that ADK and SDK are not compatible with each others. For example, it calls nrfx_gpiote_channel_alloc() with one argument in PAL\NCS\HAPPlatformExperience.c. But the difinition of this function needs two arguments. Also I found that in some older version of Nordic SDK, this function needs only one argument. So could you please make sure which version of Nordic SDK should developer use?

I have a question about Apple certification. We are planning card reader via HID(human interface device) for iPad that support USB-C. iPad will receive data as HID protocol. In this case do I have to get certificate(for example MFi) like Apple USB accessory?

Our company is developing an MFi headset with a button that we would like to use for initiating PTT. We can detect the button press and initiate PTT successfully, even when the app is not in the foreground, using the ExternalAccessory framework. But I wonder if this is a coincidence, or a scenario that should reliably work with Push to Talk?

Hi, as other threads have already discussed, I'd like to record audio from a keyboard extension. The keyboard has been granted both full access and microphone access. Nonetheless whenever I attempt to start a recording from my keyboard, it fails to start with the following error: Recording failed to start: Error Domain=com.apple.coreaudio.avfaudio Code=561145187 "(null)" UserInfo={failed call=err = PerformCommand(*ioNode, kAUStartIO, NULL, 0)} This is the code I am using: import Foundation import AVFoundation protocol AudioRecordingServiceDelegate: AnyObject { func audioRecordingDidStart() func audioRecordingDidStop(withAudioData: Data?) func audioRecordingPermissionDenied() } class AudioRecordingService { weak var delegate: AudioRecordingServiceDelegate? private var audioEngine: AVAudioEngine? private var audioSession: AVAudioSession? private var isRecording = false private var audioData = Data() private let targetFormat = AVAudioFormat(commonFormat: .pcmFormatInt16, sampleRate: 16000, channels: 1, interleaved: false)! private func setupAudioSession() throws { let session = AVAudioSession.sharedInstance() try session.setCategory(.playAndRecord, mode: .spokenAudio, options: [.mixWithOthers, .allowBluetooth, .defaultToSpeaker]) try session.setPreferredIOBufferDuration(0.005) try session.setActive(true, options: .notifyOthersOnDeactivation) audioSession = session } func checkMicrophonePermission(completion: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) { switch AVAudioApplication.shared.recordPermission { case .granted: completion(true) case .denied: delegate?.audioRecordingPermissionDenied() completion(false) case .undetermined: AVAudioApplication.requestRecordPermission { [weak self] granted in if !granted { self?.delegate?.audioRecordingPermissionDenied() } completion(granted) } @unknown default: delegate?.audioRecordingPermissionDenied() completion(false) } } func toggleRecording() { if isRecording { stopRecording() } else { checkMicrophonePermission { [weak self] granted in if granted { self?.startRecording() } } } } private func startRecording() { guard !isRecording else { return } do { try setupAudioSession() audioEngine = AVAudioEngine() guard let engine = audioEngine else { return } let inputNode = engine.inputNode let inputFormat = inputNode.inputFormat(forBus: 0) audioData.removeAll() guard let converter = AVAudioConverter(from: inputFormat, to: targetFormat) else { print("Failed to create audio converter") return } inputNode.installTap(onBus: 0, bufferSize: 1024, format: inputFormat) { [weak self] buffer, _ in guard let self = self else { return } let frameCount = AVAudioFrameCount(Double(buffer.frameLength) * 16000.0 / buffer.format.sampleRate) guard let outputBuffer = AVAudioPCMBuffer(pcmFormat: self.targetFormat, frameCapacity: frameCount) else { return } outputBuffer.frameLength = frameCount var error: NSError? converter.convert(to: outputBuffer, error: &error) { _, outStatus in outStatus.pointee = .haveData return buffer } if error == nil, let channelData = outputBuffer.int16ChannelData { let dataLength = Int(outputBuffer.frameLength) * 2 let data = Data(bytes: channelData.pointee, count: dataLength) self.audioData.append(data) } } engine.prepare() try engine.start() isRecording = true delegate?.audioRecordingDidStart() } catch { print("Recording failed to start: \(error)") stopRecording() } } private func stopRecording() { audioEngine?.inputNode.removeTap(onBus: 0) audioEngine?.stop() isRecording = false let finalData = audioData audioData.removeAll() delegate?.audioRecordingDidStop(withAudioData: finalData) try? audioSession?.setActive(false, options: .notifyOthersOnDeactivation) } deinit { if isRecording { stopRecording() } } } Granting the deprecated "Inter-App Audio" capability did not solve the problem either. Is recording audio from a keyboard extension even possible in general? If so, how do I fix it?

I have a 4-input, 4-output hardware device and an 8-input, 8-output virtual device, which I combine into an aggregate device. I am using the SimplyCoreAudio library to get the channel count. The code is as follows: aggregationDevice!.channels(scope: .input) =>> 12 aggregationDevice!.channels(scope: .output) =>> 12 When the program's MicrophoneMode is set to standard, the channel count is correct. However, when I set the MicrophoneMode to voiceIsolation, the channel count is incorrect: aggregationDevice!.channels(scope: .input) =>> 4 aggregationDevice!.channels(scope: .output) =>> 12 Below is the code for creating the aggregate device： func createAggregateDevice(mainDevice: AudioDevice, secondDevice: AudioDevice?, named name: String, uid: String) -> AudioDevice? { guard let mainDeviceUID = mainDevice.uid else { return nil } var deviceList: [[String: Any]] = [ [ kAudioSubDeviceUIDKey: mainDeviceUID, kAudioSubDeviceDriftCompensationKey:1 ] ] // make sure same device isn't added twice if let secondDeviceUID = secondDevice?.uid, secondDeviceUID != mainDeviceUID { deviceList.append([ kAudioSubDeviceUIDKey: secondDeviceUID, kAudioSubDeviceDriftCompensationKey:1, kAudioSubDeviceInputChannelsKey:8 ]) } let desc: [String: Any] = [ kAudioAggregateDeviceNameKey: name, kAudioAggregateDeviceUIDKey: uid, kAudioAggregateDeviceSubDeviceListKey: deviceList, kAudioAggregateDeviceMainSubDeviceKey: mainDeviceUID, kAudioAggregateDeviceIsPrivateKey:false, ] var deviceID: AudioDeviceID = 0 let error = AudioHardwareCreateAggregateDevice(desc as CFDictionary, &deviceID) guard error == noErr else { return nil } return AudioDevice.lookup(by: deviceID) } I hope someone can tell me the reason Thank you！

On iOS 18.x when try to create EASession we get nil, but on iOS 17.x everything works. We have app which use USB cable for connecting external accessories. Scenario is when we have fresh instal, connecting with accessory work fine, EASession is created, streams are opened. When we unplug USB, we close streams, remove any reference to session and accessory, remove accessory delegate. When plug it again, creating EASession is returning nil. Only after restarting iPhone, we can create new EASession with appropriate protocol and accessory. Every next attempt without reseting iPhone is failing. Logs from accessory is following: 00:05:51.811000 : onUSBDeviceFound(pDevice=0xffc818)) iPhone USB device already in the device list w/id=1 -> update status now[21;1H 00:05:51.830000 : setConnectionStatus(status=connected) [devId=1] state updated -> forward[21;1H Capabilities indicate HostMode possibility => role switch is triggered 00:05:52.848000 : updateDIPODeviceConnections() iPhoneUSB w/caps=5 (=CarPlay or HostMode), deviceTag=2 in Device mode -> request role switch[21;1H Role switch seems to be successful 00:05:54.914000 : setSwitching('stable') changed[21;1H 00:05:54.915000 : updateDIPODeviceConnections() iPhoneUSB w/caps=2, id=1, deviceTag=2 and native transport -> request app launch and call connectUSB[21;1H 00:05:54.967000 : ConnectiAP2(05ac:12a8, s/n='00008101000160921E90801E', writeFD='/dev/ffs/ep3', readFD='/dev/ffs/ep4', hostMode){3}[21;1H Native transport should become available but does not (the following line is not present for failed case.

Since 17.4 Dev Beta 2, I have been having Bluetooth issues. I had hoped it would have cleared up but even in 17.4.1 it continues. Airpod and Echo Auto are the only 2 audio devices I have. The audio will become chopping, rubber band or sound robotic and sometime completely disconnect. While driving it will occur on both audio devices. Sometimes I'm stopped at red light and the issue occurs. The phone is less than 3 feet from the device at all times. I have read forums and removed and readded the devices but that did not help. I really do not want to have to reset my phone since my 2FA apps do not recover in a restore. Anyone have any suggestions?

Will UVC native support come for the Iphone as well? So, using external cameras with the ipad is greatly beneficial, but for the iphone, it can make it a production powerhouse! So, have there been discussions around bringing UVC support for the Iphone as well? and if so, what were your conclusions?

This is a regression since iOS 13. Is there no-one at Apple interested in fixing this? FB9856371

I am creating a barcode reader using the AVfoundation framework for iOS and IPadOS. The read result goes into payloadstringvalue, but I want to check the control characters contained in the symbol, so I am using the raw data of the description, which is a property of NSObjectProtocol inherited by VNBarcodeObservation. However, I noticed that if the length set in the raw data exceeds 26, some of the raw data in the description is omitted. So my question is, is it possible to set it so that all the raw data in the description is written out without omitting any raw data? If so, could you please tell me how to set this up? Also, if you know of any other way to extract the raw barcode data, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. Thank you.
