I am getting an error when trying to call an api being hosted on my local development machine from an XCode project running on my iPhone: Task <xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx>.<2> finished with error [-1202] Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1202 "The certificate for this server is invalid.

I have read posts in this forum without resolution and seen them on stack overflow like this one and this one which have not been answered or the solutions do not work in more current environments (example response: "This doesn't work in XCode 14.2"). I did have this running in earlier versions and with Android Studio. It would be ideal to have the current state answer to how to develop api's on your local machine and call them from your iPhone or simulator.

I am trying to fetch DHCP server identifiers of the current network. For IPv4 I am able to get this information using SCDynamicStoreCopyDHCPInfo and then using DHCPInfoGetOptionData fetching option 54. I am trying to do the same thing for IPv6, in my scutil I do see DHCPv6 present. Is there any API present which fetches this information for v6 DHCP servers, or do I have to get this direct from scutil?

Hi all, I am overhauling code of an iPadOS app that discovers devices on a network using a custom UDP broadcast based discovery protocol. This is how the discovery mechanism should work: The iPad sends an IPv4 broadcast message to the network's broadcast address using a fixed destination port, but a random source port (determined at bind time). The device responds with a unicast message to the source IP address and port of the discovery message. Until now the code is based on BSD sockets using GCDAsyncUdpSocket and has been working well for around ten years with a single socket that was used to both send and receive the discovery messages and replies. We would like to make the move to the Network Framework now and I tried to recreate this discovery mechanism with the Network Framework in Objective-C. I am able to create an nw_connection_t with the broadcast address as hostname and the specific destination port as port. I am able to send discovery messages to the device and the device sends a reply (verified with Wireshark). But calling nw_connection_receive_message(...) never fires. Also in Wireshark the iPad replies with Destination unreachable (Port unreachable). When I create the connection with the unicast address of the device, the reply is received. It seems to me, that the connection doesn't accept replies from addresses / ports that don't match, what was set when the connection was created. Is there a way to also accept messages from other sources? E.g. there is nw_multicast_group_descriptor_set_disable_unicast_traffic when doing multicast. This seems to solve this problems when doing mutlicast. This is a code excerpt of what I tried: // Create default UDP parameters without DTLS nw_parameters_t params = nw_parameters_create_secure_udp(NW_PARAMETERS_DISABLE_PROTOCOL, NW_PARAMETERS_DEFAULT_CONFIGURATION); // Enable P2P (should enable broadcast and multicast) nw_parameters_set_include_peer_to_peer(params, true); // Require the active interface // The active interface comes from a path monitor callback nw_parameters_require_interface(params, self.networkUtils.activeInterface.interface); // Setup the remote endpoint with the "ping" (discovery) broadcast IP address and port const char *endpointAddress = [pingAddress.ipAddress cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; NSString *portString = @(pingAddress.port).stringValue; const char *endpointPort = [portString cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; nw_endpoint_t broadcastEndpoint = nw_endpoint_create_host(endpointAddress, endpointPort); nw_connection_t tmpConnection = nw_connection_create(broadcastEndpoint, params); __weak __typeof(self) weakSelf = self; nw_connection_set_state_changed_handler(tmpConnection, ^(nw_connection_state_t state, nw_error_t _Nullable error) { __strong __typeof(weakSelf) strongSelf = weakSelf; MSLogVerbose("State changed: %d; error: %@", state, error); strongSelf.connectionState = state; if (state == nw_connection_state_ready) { [strongSelf receiveMessageForConnection:tmpConnection]; } }); nw_connection_set_queue(tmpConnection, AGGalileoBrowser.browserQueue); nw_connection_start(tmpConnection); Thanks for your help!

Hello all! I'm porting a ios15+ swiftui app to be compatible with Swift 6 and enabling strict concurrency checking gave me a warning that will be an error when switching to swift 6. I'm initializing a persistence controller for my cloud kit container: import CoreData struct PersistenceController { static let shared = PersistenceController() let container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer init() { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "IBreviary") container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: { _, error in if let error = error as NSError? { fatalError("Unresolved error \(error), \(error.userInfo)") } }) container.viewContext.mergePolicy = NSMergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicy container.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true } } The warning is on the merge policy: Reference to var 'NSMergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicy' is not concurrency-safe because it involves shared mutable state; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode I have no idea how to make this concurrency safe, nor I found a documentation entry to help me with this. Anyone have idea how to solve this? Thanks in advance V.

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?

I'm unable to use third party Finder Sync Extensions on macOS 15, first beta. They do not appear in the Extensions section, that is now in System Settings - General - Login Items & Extensions.

Hi there, I have some thread related questions regards to network framework completion callbacks. In short, how should I process cross thread data in the completion callbacks? Here are more details. I have a background serial dispatch queue (call it dispatch queue A) to sequentially process the nw_connection and any network io events. Meanwhile, user inputs are handled by serial dispatch queue ( dispatch queue B). How should I handle the cross thread user data in this case? (I write some simplified sample code below) struct { int client_status; char* message_to_sent; }user_data; nw_connection_t nw_connection; dispatch_queue_t dispatch_queue_A static void send_message(){ dispatch_data_t data = dispatch_data_create(message, len(message), dispath_event_loop->dispatch_queue, DISPATCH_DATA_DESTRUCTOR_DEFAULT); nw_connection_send( nw_connection, data, NW_CONNECTION_DEFAULT_MESSAGE_CONTEXT, false, ^(nw_error_t error) { user_data.client_status = SENT; mem_release(user_data.message_to_sent); }); }); } static void setup_connection(){ dispatch_queue_A= dispatch_queue_create("unique_id_a", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL); nw_connection = nw_connection_create(endpoint, params); nw_connection_set_state_changed_handler(){ if (state == nw_connection_state_ready) { user_data.client_status = CONNECTED } // ... other operations ... } nw_connection_start(nw_connection); nw_retain(nw_connection); } static void user_main(){ setup_connection() user_data.client_status = INIT; dispatch_queue_t dispatch_queue_B = dispatch_queue_create("unique_id_b", DISPATCH_QUEUE_SERIAL); // write socket dispatch_async(dispatch_queue_B, ^(){ if (user_data.client_status != CONNECTED ) return; user_data.message_to_sent = malloc(XX,***) // I would like to have all io events processed on dispatch queue A so that the io events would not interacted with the user events dispatch_async_f(dispatch_queue_A, send_message); // Disconnect block dispatch_async(dispatch_queue_B, ^(){ dispatch_async_f(dispatch_queue_A, ^(){ nw_connection_cancel(nw_connection) }); user_data.client_status = DISCONNECTING; }); // clean up connection and so on... } To be more specific, my questions would be: As I was using serial dispatch queue, I didn't protect the user_data here. However, which thread would the send_completion_handler get called? Would it be a data race condition where the Disconnect block and send_completion_handler both access user_data? If I protect the user_data with lock, it might block the thread. How does the dispatch queue make sure it would NOT put a related execution block onto the "blocked thread"?

On Sequoia it became impossible to properly debug programs using third party mDNS, multicast or broadcast, thanks to a bug? in I guess the new local network privacy feature, every send call returns no route to host. If I run the CI job, which properly packages, signs, notarizes said program, the resulting .app works fine and also requests permission to access the local network - which is impossible through lldb as it doesn't have an Info.plist, just the ***** binary itself. However this may not be the issue, see the repro method below. A fast and easy method to reproduce is using an example from this repo: https://github.com/keepsimple1/mdns-sd/ Running the query example in a good old shell without lldb (cargo run --example query _smb._tcp) starts outputting results. Then running the same binary through lldb (lldb -o run target/debug/examples/query _smb._tcp) would result in no route to host errors. I can't provide an output anymore as I was forced to downgrade. It works fine again on 14.6.1. I'm a bit reluctant to even try 14.7. Also reported in feedback assistant: FB15185667

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 have a program that creates a TCP server socket and listens on it. When the program accepts a connection from a client, it calls poll(2) repeatedly to see if there is any input available, like this: for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) { struct pollfd fds[] = {{ .fd = clientfd, .events = POLLIN, .revents = 0 }}; int r = poll(fds, 1, 0); if (r < 0) { perror("poll"); exit(1); } } On my Intel iMac, this takes about 15 seconds. If I use select(2) instead, as follows, it takes about 550ms. for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) { struct timeval timeout = { .tv_sec = 0, .tv_usec = 0 }; fd_set infds; FD_ZERO(&infds); FD_SET(clientfd, &infds); int r = select(1, &infds, 0, 0, &timeout); if (r < 0) { perror("select"); exit(1); } } https://gist.github.com/xrme/cd42d3d753ac00861e439e012366f2cf is a C source file that contains a complete example. If you're inclined to take a look, please download the file from the gist and do cc poll-test.c and then ./a.out. Connect to it with nc 127.0.0.1 6444 and observe that it will take quite a while. (Activity Monitor will show a large number of "idle wake ups", but I'm not clear what that signifies.) Recompile with cc -DUSE_SELECT, run ./a.out and connect again, and it will complete in under a second. Advisability of this usage aside (which is adapted from a much larger system), is there anything here to be done to make poll faster? Other systems I have looked at (FreeBSD, OmniOS, Linux) do not exhibit the same slowdown with poll.

In XCode15, if you specify mediaBox for PDFDisplayBox, the page will be shrunk to fit the specified range. However, in XCode16, the page is cropped to fit the specified range, as when cropBox is specified for PDFDisplayBox. I think it's a bug because the setBounds documentation hasn't been updated, but has anyone had the same problem? Please let me know if there are any workarounds.

I have a document app built using SwiftData because frankly I'm too lazy to learn how to use FileDocument. The app's title is "Artsheets," and I'm using a document type that my app owns: com.wannafedor4.ArtsheetsDoc. The exported type identifier has these values: Description: Artsheets Document Identifier: com.wannafedor4.ArtsheetsDoc Conforms to: com.apple.package Reference URL: (none) Extensions: artsheets MIME Types: (none) And the code: ArtsheetsApp.swift import SwiftUI import SwiftData @main struct ArtsheetsApp: App { var body: some Scene { DocumentGroup(editing: Sheet.self, contentType: .package) { EditorView() } } } Document.swift import SwiftUI import SwiftData import UniformTypeIdentifiers @Model final class Sheet { var titleKey: String @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade) var columns: [Column] init(titleKey: String, columns: [Column]) { self.titleKey = titleKey self.columns = columns } } @Model final class Column: Identifiable { var titlekey: String var text: [String] init(titlekey: String, text: [String]) { self.titlekey = titlekey self.text = text } } extension UTType { static var artsheetsDoc = UTType(exportedAs: "com.wannafedor4.artsheetsDoc") } I compiling for my iPhone 13 works, but then when creating a document I get this error: Failed to create document. Error: Error Domain=com.apple.DocumentManager Code=2 "No location available to save “Untitled”." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=No location available to save “Untitled”., NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Enable at least one location to be able to save documents.}

I'm studying sharing through this link. I followed the first steps by changing the bundle identifier of the project, the tests and placing my own container in the config and in the info.plist. https://github.com/apple/sample-cloudkit-zonesharing The app appears and in the log it appears that it has managed to access my iCloud, but when I click on share and share something, the following message appears in the console, on the simulator and on the iPhone: "No options were found, providing default value for access type" "No options were found, providing default values ​​for permissions" "connection invalidated" And finally, when I click on the shared link, the following message appears: "Item unavailable The owner stopped sharing, or you don't have permission to open it."

I'm trying to follow the guide for creating a virtual device here. My goal was to see the set report print the data (and to eventually create a virtual gamepad and dispatch input reports of button presses). I am on MacOS v15.0 and I have CoreHID.framework linked (not embedded). However, when using the sample code below, HIDVirtualDevice returns nil. import Foundation import CoreHID // This describes a keyboard device according to the Human Interface Devices standard. let keyboardDescriptor: Data = Data([0x05, 0x01, 0x09, 0x06, 0xA1, 0x01, 0x05, 0x07, 0x19, 0xE0, 0x29, 0xE7, 0x15, 0x00, 0x25, 0x01, 0x75, 0x01, 0x95, 0x08, 0x81, 0x02, 0x95, 0x01, 0x75, 0x08, 0x81, 0x01, 0x05, 0x08, 0x19, 0x01, 0x29, 0x05, 0x95, 0x05, 0x75, 0x01, 0x91, 0x02, 0x95, 0x01, 0x75, 0x03, 0x91, 0x01, 0x05, 0x07, 0x19, 0x00, 0x2A, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x95, 0x05, 0x75, 0x08, 0x15, 0x00, 0x26, 0xFF, 0x00, 0x81, 0x00, 0x05, 0xFF, 0x09, 0x03, 0x75, 0x08, 0x95, 0x01, 0x81, 0x02, 0xC0]) let properties = HIDVirtualDevice.Properties(descriptor: keyboardDescriptor, vendorID: 1) let device = HIDVirtualDevice(properties: properties) final class Delegate : HIDVirtualDeviceDelegate { // A handler for system requests to send data to the device. func hidVirtualDevice(_ device: HIDVirtualDevice, receivedSetReportRequestOfType type: HIDReportType, id: HIDReportID?, data: Data) throws { print("Device received a set report request for report type:\(type) id:\(String(describing: id)) with data:[\(data.map { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined(separator: " "))]") } // A handler for system requests to query data from the device. func hidVirtualDevice(_ device: HIDVirtualDevice, receivedGetReportRequestOfType type: HIDReportType, id: HIDReportID?, maxSize: size_t) throws -> Data { print("Device received a get report request for report type:\(type) id:\(String(describing: id))") assert(maxSize >= 4) return (Data([1, 2, 3, 4])) } } if (device != nil) { print("Device is ready") await device?.activate(delegate: Delegate()) try await device?.dispatchInputReport(data: Data([5, 6, 7, 8]), timestamp: SuspendingClock.now) } else { print("Device not created") }

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.

Hi fellow developers, I'm encountering an issue when using MKLocalSearch to search for cities. Here's my setup: I'm using MKLocalSearch with an MKLocalSearch.Request object. I've set the resultTypes to .address to focus on address results. The problem: When I receive the search response, it includes the locations as expected. However, these locations don't have an identity or alternative identities. Questions: Is this the expected behavior when searching for cities? Without an identity, how can I uniquely identify and store these city results in my database? Would it be appropriate to store the city name, country, and coordinates instead? Thanks in advance!

Hi there, I have two extension in my App, a Finder Sync and a Share Extension. Because these are disabled by default and automatically enabling them is, according to my extensive research, not possible, I want to provide an easy way for the user to enable the extensions when the app is opened. I am currently displaying a popup, with a button to open the preferences. I have struggled with this a bit, by now I managed to open the main preferences window using NSWorkspace.shared.open(URL(string: "x-apple.systempreferences:com.apple.preference")!) which is rather suboptimal though, since the user has to select the extensions option manually and isn't directly redirected there. What I have also found is that the menu of the FinderSyncExtension can be opened directly by using FIFinderSyncController.showExtensionManagementInterface() which is unfortunately suboptimal as well, because it only shows the managment interface of the finder extension and not the overview of all extensions. Is there any way to either enable the extensions programatically, or if not, is there a way to show the "Added Extensions" portion of the Extensions menu in the system preferences?

Hi，Regarding FileProvider, I know it has a permission authorization pop-up to control whether to open the FileProvider extension in the application settings But when I first used it, the switch was turned off by default. I noticed that some applications can pop up an authorization pop-up to prompt the user to turn on this permission I would like to ask what API this authorization pop-up is displayed through I expect the authorization pop-up window to pop up as shown in the following picture Thanks
