Hi all, I’m running into an issue with provisioning profiles not including the com.apple.developer.push-notifications entitlement — even though everything seems to be configured correctly. Here's what I’ve done: Checked the App ID has Push Notifications enabled. I’ve clicked “Configure” and created a Production APNs certificate under the App ID. I’ve regenerated the provisioning profiles (Ad Hoc and App Store). I can see within the profiles within App Store Connect that the push notifications capability is listed I’ve downloaded and decoded the profiles using: security cms -D -i profile.mobileprovision > decoded.plist But com.apple.developer.push-notifications is still missing under the <key>Entitlements</key> block. This is causing issues because: When I submit the build to eas I receive this error from XCode: - Provisioning profile "*** Adhoc" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.push-notifications entitlement. Profile qualification is using entitlement definitions that may be out of date. Connect to network to update. (in target '***' from project '***') Refer to "Xcode Logs" below for additional, more detailed logs. To isolate the issue further I: Created a completely new App ID, enabling Push Notifications from the start. Created new APNs certificate. Generated new provisioning profiles with a valid distribution certificate. Still no push entitlement embedded in the profile. Question: Has anyone else encountered this issue where Push Notifications are enabled and configured, but the entitlement still fails to embed in the profile? Thanks in advance.

We have just been granted access to the com.apple.developer.usernotifications.filtering entitlement, and are following the documented steps for handled E2EE VOIP notifications listed here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/callkit/sending-end-to-end-encrypted-voip-calls 1 - A user initiates a VoIP call on their app. Their app then sends an encrypted VoIP call request to your server. We do exactly this, Alice calls Bob from her app, sending a notification to our servers. 2 - Your server sends the encrypted data to the receiver’s device using a regular remote notification. Be sure to set the apns-push-type header field to alert. We do exactly this, our server send on a notification to APNS with the apns-push-type header set to alert, destined for Bob. 3 - On the receiver’s device, the notification service extension processes the incoming notification and decrypts it. If it’s an incoming VoIP call, the extension calls reportNewIncomingVoIPPushPayload(_:completion:) to initiate the call. It then silences the push notification (see com.apple.developer.usernotifications.filtering). I try to do exactly this. The notification is received by the NSE on Bob's device, which decrypts it and then notices it is a VOIP call from Alice. It prepares a dictionaryPayload with the decrypted data and then calls reportNewIncomingVoIPPushPayload(_:) async throws. This throws an NSXPCConnectionInterrupted error, which when logged shows as below: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4097 "connection to service named com.apple.callkit.notificationserviceextension.voip" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=connection to service named com.apple.callkit.notificationserviceextension.voip} The only difference I can see to the documentation is that I am working in an asynchronous context so am using the asynchronous version of the method, but I don't imagine this should cause an issue? I then supress the notification as documented and this works correctly. Does anyone have any ideas why I am getting this error when calling reportNewIncomingVoIPPushPayload(_:) async throws?

Hello, i'm facing issues, when trying to integrate push notification feature into my app. the following message is shown and I don't know how to fix it: ExportArchive "Runner.app" requires a provisioning profile with the push notifications feature (Encountered error while creating the IPA) Thankful for any help! Best regards

Hi Everyone, I noticed that applicationIconBadgeNumber has been deprecated in iOS17. While there's a new method to set the badge number using setBadgeCount(_:withCompletionHandler:), I couldn't find a way to retrieve the current value. Previously we used to call UIApplication.shared.applicationIconBadgeNumber, to get the current value, which is deprecated now. Does anyone know how to get the current badge count? Thanks!

Hi, there is a issue that iOS background NFC scanning will only provide a notification result, It need user click to enter my APP, can I have any method to enter my APP directly without user action ?

I have a “1” above the setting app on my iPhone. However when I open settings there is no notification that shows up. I have tried force restarting and done the beta updates as they release however nothing works to got rid of it. What can I do?

Docs mention the following about the timestamp field returned by APNs: "The time, represented in milliseconds since Epoch, at which APNs confirmed the token was no longer valid for the topic. This key is included only when the error in the :status field is 410." We would like to clarify whether this timestamp is subject to the fuzzy schedule or whether it represent the accurate time of when APNs knew that the token became invalid? We understand that using 410 for tracking purposes is off label. However we still would like to have the most accurate information in regards to when token became invalid. This will help us debug user issues better in cases when they re-install, uninstall, change permission settings, etc.

We are so interested in AlarmKit which is presented at WWDC25. While we planning our app using AlarmKit, We had a few questions come to mind and were hoping you could provide some clarity. Please excuse the rather long list of questions, as we don't currently have a device available to test these features ourselves. System Actions Related Is there a limit to the number of alarms that can be scheduled using AlarmKit? Are alarms scheduled with AlarmKit persistent across device reboots? When an alarm is dismissed (either by swiping or pressing the power button), can our app detect this action and execute code in response? Can we control the behavior of the physical Lock Screen buttons when an AlarmKit alarm is active, for instance, to trigger a snooze action? Does AlarmKit function correctly during Do Not Disturb or Low Power Mode? What is the expected behavior when an alarm from our app (using AlarmKit) overlaps with an alarm from another app that also uses AlarmKit? Which one is going to get its priority? Thank you for your help. Sincerely

when I implementation the UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping () -> Void) { var status = "" if (UIApplication.shared.applicationState == .active) { status = "active" } else if (UIApplication.shared.applicationState == .background) { status = "background" } else if (UIApplication.shared.applicationState == .inactive) { status = "inactive" } completionHandler() } I find that UIApplication.shared.applicationState == .background this case can not execute when application is in background。 why applicationState is inactive not background?

I'm attempting to leverage notifications in an app that is in Swift 6 language mode. I have the following code: func startLocationUpdates() { //if self.manager.authorizationStatus == .notDetermined { // self.manager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization() //} self.logger.info("Starting location updates") Task { do { let updates = CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() for try await update in updates { if !self.updatesStarted { break } // End location updates by breaking out of the loop. self.lastUpdate = update if let loc = update.location { self.lastLocation = loc self.isStationary = update.stationary self.count += 1 self.logger.info("Location \(self.count): \(self.lastLocation)") } if lastUpdate!.insufficientlyInUse { let notification = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "com.example.mynotification", content: notificationContent, trigger: nil) try await UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(notification) } } } catch { self.logger.error("Could not start location updates") } return } } As an aside, the above is directly taken from the following sample: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreLocation/adopting-live-updates-in-core-location. With Swift 6 language mode enable, this generates a compiler error for the statement: try await UNUserNotificationCenter.current().add(notification) Sending main actor-isolated 'notification' to nonisolated instance method 'add' risks causing data races between nonisolated and main actor-isolated uses How can I fix this?

Currently, our company server is using the push service by calling APNS through the p8 certificate. In this process, our server does not have a CA certificate or SSL certificate in use. Only the p8 certificate is installed and only performs the role of calling APNS. If it is used like this, is there no need to update the CA certificate separately? Or do I have to apply a new SSL certificate and add the CA to it? Can someone help me plz?

Hello Everyone, I somehow missed to renew the APNS Certificate, I am new to Apple Ecosystem, I can not see the expired or any Certificates under Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles Can anyone help me with this!

I have been watching the following moment from wwdc (Design dynamic Live Activities): https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10194/?time=728 It suggest that you should 'tick' between multiple live activities of your app: When you want to show multiple sessions for your app going on at once, consider ticking between the display of them to continue to give users an eye on everything that’s going on. How can I tick between them? More specifically how can I do that when my app is in the background?

I am currently implementing VoIP push notifications in my iOS app using PushKit. On iOS 18, I am able to receive VoIP notifications successfully when the app is in the foreground. However, when the app is in the background or in a terminated (kill) state, the notifications do not arrive. In earlier iOS versions, my existing implementation worked as expected across all app states. This issue seems to have started after testing on iOS 18, which appears to have introduced stricter permission or background execution requirements. Questions: Has iOS 18 introduced new permission requirements or entitlements for VoIP push notifications? Do I need to explicitly request a new type of user permission for VoIP notifications? Are there additional background modes, Info.plist keys, or PushKit changes required for VoIP to work in background and terminated states on iOS 18? Additional Information: . Foreground: Works fine, pushRegistry(_:didReceiveIncomingPushWith:for:completion:) is triggered. . Background/Terminated: No call to the above delegate method. . Using correct voip push type in the payload. . PushKit is configured in AppDelegate. . Background modes for "Voice over IP" and "Background Processing" are enabled. . Using a real device with iOS 18 for testing (not simulator). Any guidance or updated documentation references for handling VoIP pushes in iOS 18 would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Apple engineering team, I contacted Developer Support regarding the status of our entitlements request, and they recommended that I post here for visibility. It’s been just over two weeks since we submitted the request, and we haven’t received any updates yet. We understand these requests can take time, but it’s unclear what the typical timeline looks like or if there’s any way to check on the progress. Is there a way to get an update or better understand where we are in the process? We’re trying to plan our release and would really appreciate any guidance on what to expect. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, it seems like starting from iOS 18.0, it is possible to entirely skip the notifications permission request alert by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. It doesn't work this way with any other kinds of system alerts, nor in iOS 17.4 (tested it in the Simulator though). So, is it a bug? Or is it intended? Either way, I haven't found any information regarding that. The problem with that is when you skip the alert, notifications are missing from the app preferences.

This is in an iOS Simulator running iOS 18.2 I send a start live activity push notification from the Push Notifications Console on icloud.developer.apple.com. When checking the console.log output it seems to receive the message, yet the activity does not appear in the dynamic island. (the app is backgrounded when I test this) Can anyone tell me why it's not showing? Starting the same activity from within the app using Swift code works fine.

I am trying to retrieve delivered notifications using UNUserNotificationCenter.getDeliveredNotifications(completionHandler:), but I have encountered an issue: Notifications triggered by UNTimeIntervalNotificationTrigger or UNCalendarNotificationTrigger appear in the delivered list. However, notifications triggered by UNLocationNotificationTrigger do not appear in the list. Here is the code I use to fetch delivered notifications: UNUserNotificationCenter.current().getDeliveredNotifications { notifications in for notification in notifications { print("Received notification: \(notification.request.identifier)") } } The notification is scheduled as follows: let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current() let content = UNMutableNotificationContent() content.title = "Test Notification" content.body = "This is a location-based notification." content.sound = .default let coordinate = CLLocationCoordinate2D(latitude: 37.7749, longitude: -122.4194) // Example coordinates let region = CLCircularRegion(center: coordinate, radius: 100, identifier: "TestRegion") region.notifyOnEntry = true region.notifyOnExit = false let trigger = UNLocationNotificationTrigger(region: region, repeats: false) let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: "LocationTest", content: content, trigger: trigger) center.add(request) { error in if let error = error { print("Error adding notification: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } Why does getDeliveredNotifications not return notifications that were triggered using UNLocationNotificationTrigger? How can I retrieve such notifications after they have been delivered?

I have multiple app ids that are registered with Push Notification, however they do not hsow up in the Push Notification Console for testing.
