Hello I've noticed that this product, heavily promoted on the ASC forums for many years, is no longer available from the Apple App Store. Can anyone tell me the reason why the product is no longer supported? Friends have asked me if it is 'safe' to use. Is it? Note to moderator: If I'm asking in the wrong places, please redirect my question. Thank you.

Hello! I'm facing the following Appstore issue. There was an watchOS only app, without a companion app. In current 1.6 version the app has a companion app and it can be properly installed by new users from their iPhones or watches. Unfortunately, all old users, who have installed the app from their watches don't see a way to install the app from the Appstore (they can download the latest watchOS version though). Many things have been tried - uninstalling, installing on the watch. Looking for a purchase, removing subscription, but without luck. The Appstore shows "purchased" button instead "Get" or the cloud icon. Is this a bug in the Appstore or there is a way to recover from this edge case. Thanks, Emil

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.

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?

I want to observe/capture logging from my iPhone app when its not running via Xcode. However when using either the Mac's console app, or the console functionality within Apple Configurator, after about 2 or 3 seconds the logging disappears off the console. How can it be prevented from doing so?

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?

I am working on an app for a Home automation device built on Matter. There are both standard and custom features/services/clusters on this device. HomeKit seems to pick up the standard ones except for one (leak detector) that is part of the Matter 1.3 spec. Of course HomeKit doesn't know what to do with the custom ones so they aren't shown in the Home app. I am trying to access those directly via calls to the Matter APIs so I can present them in a custom app. To access Matter APIs I am using a process suggested by DTS in a forum post that can be found here. The MTRBaseDevice I obtain in the suggested way responds appropriately to read and write commands, but subscribe doesn't work as expected. It returns an error code 48 which is described as "The operation couldn’t be completed." and the source that contains the error calls it "operationNotSupported". This is the subscribe call referenced in the DTS response to earlier post, however there are three more "subscribe" methods and I have tried them all. Two also return an error 48, and the last one never calls any of the callback handlers providing no data or errors. Since a subscription is supposed to return data periodically even when there have been no changes it doesn't seem that different than polling so I have written code for that and it works. However I don't expect iOS will let me poll in the background for alarm conditions and I am hoping subscription updates will be sent to a background app so it can notify users of these conditions. Is that a reasonable assumption? Here is the code I am using to test subscribe, perhaps I am doing something wrong? Originally I had shorter intervals but changing them made no difference. Do they need to be longer? let subscribeParams = MTRSubscribeParams(minInterval: 15, maxInterval: 900) if #available(iOS 17.6, *) { subscribeParams.shouldAssumeUnknownAttributesReportable = true } subscribeParams.shouldFilterByFabric = false subscribeParams.shouldReplaceExistingSubscriptions = true subscribeParams.shouldReportEventsUrgently = true subscribeParams.shouldResubscribeAutomatically = false print("Attempting subscribe:with") let localClusterStateCache = MTRClusterStateCacheContainer() matterBaseDevice.subscribe(with: OS_dispatch_queue_global.global(), params: subscribeParams, clusterStateCacheContainer: localClusterStateCache) { (attributes: [Any]) in print("subscribe:with attributeHandler: \(attributes)") } eventReportHandler: { (events: [Any]) in print("subscribe:with eventHandler: \(events)") } errorHandler: { (error: any Error) in let reportingError = error as NSError if reportingError.domain == "HMErrorDomain" { let hkError = HMError(HMError.Code(rawValue: reportingError.code)!) print("subscribe:with errorHandler: \(hkError.localizedDescription); UserInfo: \(hkError.userInfo); ErrorUserInfo: \(hkError.errorUserInfo)") } else { print("subscribe:with errorHandler: \(reportingError)") } } subscriptionEstablished: { print("subscribe:with Subscription established!!!") } resubscriptionScheduled: { (error: any Error, numericParam: NSNumber) in print("subscribe:with Resubscription scheduled; error: \(error); numericParam: \(numericParam)") }

Is it mandatory to use classic Bluetooth (Bluetooth Classic) to connect game controllers that support Apple’s MFi games and Arcade games, or can game controllers be developed using only Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for such accessories?

Hi, we are trying out AccessorySetupKit on our app for pairing with an IoT device via Bluetooth. I can see from this WWDC2024 talk Meet AccessorySetupKit that ASK supports BLE pairing methods with a PIN code. Is that enabled through this bluetoothPairingLE option on ASAccessory.SupportOptions? Is it correctly understood that this is referring to the Secure Simple Pairing feature in the BLE specs? This might be due to my unfamiliarity with Secure Simple Pairing, but does it require the PIN code again after it has been paired but disconnected and then re-connected? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Development environment: Electron 30.2.0 Run-time configuration: macOS 14.5 (23F79) DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM I have one keyboard which will wake up the Mac OS from sleep when sending command to it at the time system starting to sleep. But this keyboard will not have such problem on Window OS, I don't know why sending command to that keyboard will wake up the Mac OS system from sleep. Does anyone know from a hardware or software point of view, what kind of usb keyboard operation will cause the macos system to wake up? Or can someone give us guidance, how to debug and solve the usb keyboard caused by the wake up system problem on Mac OS system? STEPS TO REPRODUCE Sending command to that keyboard when the system start to sleep

I recently got an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and I’m currently running iOS 18.1 Beta 5 (22B5054e). I’ve noticed an issue when charging overnight with MagSafe. My phone stops charging, and last night it stopped at 63%. I’m also having problems when charging via cable. It shows “slow charger” even though I’m using a 100W charger. Is this an issue with iOS 18.1 or could it be a defect with the iPhone itself? I didn’t experience this with my iPhone 15 Pro Max. Thanks

Since updating my iphone 12 to iOS 18, my phone either doesn’t charge unless the wire is in a certain position or if it is charging it’s very slow. I’ve tried multiple wires with multiple plugs and it’s all the same. I had no issues before updating and now wish I hadn’t updated because I can’t afford to go and buy a new phone.

What is the maximum power-per-hour can an iPhone provide for an accessory connected to the iPhone to its Lightning port?

Previously working! Now Broken. I developed a test application to establish a connection with a BLE peripheral. The application successfully connected to the peripheral, but it did not establish SMP Pairing procedure. Previously, I was able to successfully pair with the devices during the Beta phase. However, currently, I am not receiving the OS prompt to grant Bluetooth permissions. I understand that this may be a newly introduced feature in the recent releases. Could you please provide guidance on whether there is a specific flag that needs to be enabled or added elsewhere, or if this is a bug with the ASK? PLEASE HELP!!!

I'm using AccessorySetupKit to use multiple devices in my app. The problem I'm facing right now is that each time I want to add a new device with an ASAccessorySession, the CBCentralManager state (which was previously .poweredOn, as I has already connected a device) rapidly changes states from .poweredOn to .poweredOff, and back to .poweredOn again. The consequence of these state changes is that any connected device is instantly disconnected, and I need to reconnect them one by one. Is that the normal behavior?

I have the our device connected , with Assistive Touch enabled and the application running in the foreground. At this point, I place the screen on standby and leave the device unattended for 10 minutes. After this period, I return, unlock the screen, and observe that our app is still running, and the connection with the device is re-initiated. However, something occurs at this stage that causes the application to briefly switch to the background and then immediately return to the foreground. This behavior leads to system instability. Ideally, once the application is running in the foreground, it should not transition to the background automatically. However, it seems to be doing so for a short duration—momentarily switching from the foreground to the background, then back to the foreground—which is causing the observed instability.
