URLSessionWebSocketTask reports closeCode as invalid when state is completed
I am using a URLSessionWebSocketTask. When trying to receive messages while the app is backgrounded, the receive() method fails with an NSError where the domain is NSPOSIXErrorDomain and the code is ECONNABORTED. That behavior is good. However, when this happens, the URLSessionWebSocketTask reports a closeCode of invalid, which is supposed to denote that the connection is still open. However, the connection state property is reporting completed. I feel that the closeCode property should be reporting something like abnormalClosure in this case. Either way, this seems like a bug or the documentation is incorrect.

Zspeedaccuracy question
Hello everyone, I'm doing some work on validating some data to do with the zpseed functionality around corelocations, i've read up on the speedaccuracy field but the wording doesn't make sense to me. It says if its a positive number it is plus or minus the value in the zspeed column so would this be for example zspeed of 35 mps with an accuracy of 3 mps would it be 32 mps 38 mps or is it a range? so would it be anywhere between 32-38 mps. Or is it just plus or minus the 3mps and if this is the case how would it be worked out if its plus or minus when all the numbers will be a positive numbers as any negative numbers are deemed inaccurate ?

Core Location reports incorrect location update especially with underground travel
Description of the Bug: Core Location intermittently reports inaccurate location updates, albeit with a high accuracy value. This problem occurs almost exclusively while travelling in metros underground affecting the ability to rely on the framework effectively. Steps to Reproduce: The user starts travelling on ground level at point A The user continues travelling and, after some time, is now underground at point B. A stationary beacon scanned at point B confirms this. Core Location is observed to deliver a location update with a high-accuracy value but with the coordinates around point A when the user is actually around point B. Expected Behaviour: Accurate locations should be delivered at all times. In other words, Core Location should not report location updates with high accuracy when its certainty is low.

Crashes with Rosetta after Sonoma update (crash reports).
Hello. We have an app and a custom dylib hat seems to be crashing only when Rosetta is involved. I believe it's the custom DYLIB that crashes. Here are some observations. The issue happens on the older 2022 built DYLIB (Intel only) And the newer DYLIB built (Universal) The universal DYLIB works fine natively on both Intel and M1 machines. It's only when we access it through an Intel only .app and it's running with Rosetta that we see the crash. The older Intel only .DYLIB worked perfectly with the same testing .app in versions before Sonoma, now they crash with the same .app, same build. Crash reports have been all over the place, they vary but repeat themselves. It has been a little confusing as to how to approach this issue and would appreciate any input that can help us understand what is going wrong and how to move forward. Crash reports are attached Crash Report 1 Crash Report 2 Crash Report 3 The crash occurs as SIGSEGV Version: 2.0 (1) Code Type: X86-64 (Translated) Parent Process: launchd [1] User ID: 501 Date/Time: 2025-04-14 19:55:06.0103 +0200 OS Version: macOS 14.6 (23G5075b) Report Version: 12 Anonymous UUID: A08ECCFA-BF01-8636-7453-E4476586D3A8 Time Awake Since Boot: 3900 seconds System Integrity Protection: enabled Notes: PC register does not match crashing frame (0x0 vs 0x102920144) Crashed Thread: 10 Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x000000011d052840 Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x000000011d052840 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11 Segmentation fault: 11 Terminating Process: exc handler [3174] VM Region Info: 0x11d052840 is not in any region.

Transaction ID Misassociation in IAP Subscription API
Dear Apple Support Team, Hello! I am currently developing the in-app subscription functionality using Apple IAP API and have encountered a serious technical issue while processing subscription data. I would like to report this issue to you. Issue Description: When calling the subscription API endpoint, the same OriginalTransactionId returns inconsistent results. Specifically, a particular transaction ID (let's call it TransactionId_A) should belong to the subscription order with OriginalTransactionId_A, but it is currently incorrectly associated with OriginalTransactionId_B. This issue severely affects our ability to accurately manage and process subscription data. Here are the relevant log details for your reference: API Endpoint Requested: https://api.storekit.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/subscriptions/{TransactionId_A} (Note: The link is a placeholder for the actual API endpoint.) Log Information on February 21, 2025, at 09:40:09: { "AppAccountToken": "{AppAccountToken}", "BundleId": "{BundleId}", "Currency": "CNY", "Environment": "Production", "ExpiresDate": {ExpiresDate}, "InAppOwnershipType": "PURCHASED", "IsUpgraded": false, "OfferDiscountType": "", "OfferIdentifier": "", "OfferType": 0, "OriginalPurchaseDate": {OriginalPurchaseDate}, "OriginalTransactionId": "{OriginalTransactionId_A}", "Price": {Price}, "ProductId": "{ProductId}", "PurchaseDate": {PurchaseDate}, "Quantity": 1, "RevocationDate": 0, "RevocationReason": 0, "SignedDate": {SignedDate}, "Storefront": "CHN", "StorefrontId": {StorefrontId}, "SubscriptionGroupIdentifier": "{SubscriptionGroupIdentifier}", "TransactionId": "{TransactionId_A}", "TransactionReason": "PURCHASE", "Type": "Auto-Renewable Subscription", "WebOrderLineItemId": "{WebOrderLineItemId}" } Log Information on March 21, 2025, at 09:38:49: { "AppAccountToken": "{AppAccountToken}", "BundleId": "{BundleId}", "Currency": "CNY", "Environment": "Production", "ExpiresDate": {ExpiresDate}, "InAppOwnershipType": "PURCHASED", "IsUpgraded": false, "OfferDiscountType": "", "OfferIdentifier": "", "OfferType": 0, "OriginalPurchaseDate": {OriginalPurchaseDate}, "OriginalTransactionId": "{OriginalTransactionId_B}", "Price": {Price}, "ProductId": "{ProductId}", "PurchaseDate": {PurchaseDate}, "Quantity": 1, "RevocationDate": 0, "RevocationReason": 0, "SignedDate": {SignedDate}, "Storefront": "CHN", "StorefrontId": {StorefrontId}, "SubscriptionGroupIdentifier": "{SubscriptionGroupIdentifier}", "TransactionId": "{TransactionId_A}", "TransactionReason": "PURCHASE", "Type": "Auto-Renewable Subscription", "WebOrderLineItemId": "{WebOrderLineItemId}" } From the above logs, it is evident that the same transaction (TransactionId_A) returns different OriginalTransactionId values at different times, which is clearly not expected and severely impacts our ability to correctly process and manage subscription data. I hope you can address and investigate this issue as soon as possible. If you need any further information or assistance, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your support! Best regards!

Invalid currency symbol
Strange issue with currency display in subscription products Hi everyone, I'm facing a strange issue in my app where I use a subscription-based in-app purchase model. The products I created in App Store Connect are all in "Approved" status. I've tested with both RevenueCat and StoreKit, but the result is the same. Here are the products being loaded: Product loaded: weekly_product_id Display name: Weekly Pro Description: Weekly Pro Subscription Price: ₺229,99 Product loaded: annual_product_id Display name: Annual Pro Description: Annual Pro Subscription Price: ₺1.799,99 Even though I can see the correct prices and currency (Turkish Lira) in the Xcode debug console, on my real device the currency appears as Philippine Peso, as shown in the attached screenshot. Interestingly, in the iOS simulator, it's displayed in USD. I've double-checked and my device's region settings are set to Turkey. Any ideas on what could be causing this? And more importantly, how can I fix it? Thanks in advance!

APNS notifications of apns-push-type pushtotalk sometimes stop arriving after switching networks
PLATFORM AND VERSION: iOS Development environment: Other: .net MAUI with vscode Run-time configuration: iOS 18.1.1 DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM APNS notifications of apns-push-type pushtotalk sometimes stop arriving after switching networks. STEPS TO REPRODUCE We have created a simple app which can be used to deminstrate this issue. When you launch the app it displays the APNS token which you can then use fromn the Apple Push Console to manually send it PTT push notifications. https://github.com/trampster/PttPushNotificationIssue On an iPhone SE (we havn't been able to reproduce on our iPhone 11) Start the APP to register for the APNS push notifications Turn off the WiFi wait for 5 seconds Attempt a push to the app manually using the Push Notifications Console (this should fail, which is fine) Turn on Cellular and wait for it to connect Attempt to push to the app manually using the Push Notifications Console -> This fails, and all attempts to send an pushtotalk push notifications fail until the we switch network again. Send a push while offline before connecting to the new network seems to make it happen more often but hard to tell for sure. The results of the failed push in the console look like this: Delivery LogLast updated: 30/01/25, 16:45:06 GMT+13 Refresh 30 Jan 2025, 16:45:03.661 GMT+13 received by APNS Server 30 Jan 2025, 16:45:03.662 GMT+13 discarded as device was offline The device is actually very much online. Switching networks again oftern makes things come right. But it doesn't seem to come right by itself. We can't respond to network changes and do anything as the whole point of using push-to-talk push notifications is to wake up the app when in the background to answer a call, this means we are not running and therefore cannot respond to network changes to try to work arround this issue.

StoreKit Subscription Fails to Load During App Review, Works in Sandbox/TestFlight
Hi everyone, I’m facing a recurring issue with my macOS app being rejected during App Store review, and I’d really appreciate any guidance. The subscription flow in my app is implemented using StoreKit, and everything works perfectly in our development environment using a StoreKit configuration file. It also behaves as expected in Sandbox testing and TestFlight — I even had few beta testers confirm that the subscription information is displayed correctly and the purchase flow completes without issues. All required subscription details are configured in App Store Connect: • Subscription duration and the description of the services offered • Price and price per unit where applicable • Paid apps agreement and related forms are correctly filled However, when the app is submitted for review, the subscription screen fails to display the expected information. From what I can tell, the product information fails to load from the App Store in the review environment — even though everything is working fine on our side. We’ve already submitted a video to Apple showing the subscription UI working in the Sandbox environment, but the app continues to be rejected under guideline 3.1.2 due to missing subscription info in the binary. Is anyone else experiencing similar behavior during review? Could there be a caching issue or delay in StoreKit syncing for newly configured products? Any help or suggestions are very welcome. Thanks in advance!

Weatherkit API Historical 404 Errors Starting 3/5/25
We've been using the WeatherKit API for a few years now. Everything has been pretty stable. We'll periodically get 404 errors, but they usually disappear within a couple days. Starting March 5th we've again been getting 404 errors that slowly ramped up to March 20th and continued. We have had no code changes on our end, so something seems to have changed / broken on the server side of things. Here are some example API calls that are giving us a 404 error now https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/en/35.9981205/-78.8920444?dataSets=forecastDaily&dailyStart=2025-03-21T05:00:00Z&timezone=America/New_York&countryCode=US https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/en/41.4789363/-81.7404134?dataSets=forecastDaily&dailyStart=2025-03-21T04:56:00Z&timezone=America/New_York&countryCode=US Does anyone have any insights or information on this? Also if Apple is listening, an error more meaningful than 404 would be much much appreciated.

Clarification about ANCS being unavailable
Hello, I am working on a project that involves using external device to connect over BLE with users iPhone. I would like to be able to notify users on our device about eg. incoming calls, messages etc. I have been succesfull in using ANCS to achieve that but I am a little worried around consistency of this solution, especially taking into account following line from documentation: Due to the nature of iOS, the ANCS is not guaranteed to always be present. As a result, the NC should look for and subscribe to the Service Changed characteristic of the GATT service in order to monitor for the potential publishing and unpublishing of the ANCS at any time. I have not been able (yet?) to find or identify circumstances when ANCS would not be avilable or would be "removed in runtime", hence would it be possible to request some guidance and clarification on the conditions when ANCS can be unavailable or removed? Thank you!

push notifications are not receiving to device
iOS push notification is not working for in App since 03-Apr-2025. We are pushing the message to APNS from our application, but message is not delivered to iOS device. We have performed tests on both PROD and QA environment and following are the observations: PROD successfully pushing the notification to APNS but not receiving the notification on iOS device (100% failure). QA received notification on iOS device always (100% success). Analyzed PROD notification server log at our end and we do not observe any error and it is showing successful also when message is pushed to APNS all the time. Need to check from APNS why push messages are not delivered to iOS devices. Validated the PROD APNS certificate at our end which we are using during call to APNS - it is valid till Oct 2025. Please suggest me any possible solution because I don't have any clue where it is failing and what to do

Title: DNS Proxy Not Capturing Traffic When Public DNS Is Set in WiFi Settings
I'm working on a Network Extension using NEDNSProxyProvider to inspect DNS traffic. However, I've run into a couple of issues: DNS Proxy is not capturing traffic when a public DNS (like 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1) is manually configured in the WiFi settings. It seems like the system bypasses the proxy in this case. Is this expected behavior? Is there a way to force DNS traffic through the proxy even if a public DNS is set? Using DNS Proxy and DNS Settings simultaneously doesn't work. Is there a known limitation or a correct way to combine these? How to set DNS or DNSSettings using DNSProxy? import NetworkExtension import SystemExtensions import SwiftUI protocol DNSProxyManagerDelegate { func managerStateDidChange(_ manager: DNSProxyManager) } class DNSProxyManager: NSObject { private let manager = NEDNSProxyManager.shared() var delegate: DNSProxyManagerDelegate? private(set) var isEnabled: Bool = false { didSet { delegate?.managerStateDidChange(self) } } var completion: (() -> Void)? override init() { super.init() self.load() } func toggle() { isEnabled ? disable() : start() } private func start() { let request = OSSystemExtensionRequest .activationRequest(forExtensionWithIdentifier: Constants.extensionBundleID, queue: DispatchQueue.main) request.delegate = self OSSystemExtensionManager.shared.submitRequest(request) log.info("Submitted extension activation request") } private func enable() { update { self.manager.localizedDescription = "DNS Proxy" let proto = NEDNSProxyProviderProtocol() proto.providerBundleIdentifier = Constants.extensionBundleID self.manager.providerProtocol = proto self.manager.isEnabled = true } } private func disable() { update { self.manager.isEnabled = false } } private func remove() { update { self.manager.removeFromPreferences { _ in self.isEnabled = self.manager.isEnabled } } } private func update(_ body: @escaping () -> Void) { self.manager.loadFromPreferences { (error) in if let error = error { log.error("Failed to load DNS manager: \(error)") return } self.manager.saveToPreferences { (error) in if let error = error { return } log.info("Saved DNS manager") self.isEnabled = self.manager.isEnabled } } } private func load() { manager.loadFromPreferences { error in guard error == nil else { return } self.isEnabled = self.manager.isEnabled } } } extension DNSProxyManager: OSSystemExtensionRequestDelegate { func requestNeedsUserApproval(_ request: OSSystemExtensionRequest) { log.info("Extension activation request needs user approval") } func request(_ request: OSSystemExtensionRequest, didFailWithError error: Error) { log.error("Extension activation request failed: \(error)") } func request(_ request: OSSystemExtensionRequest, foundProperties properties: [OSSystemExtensionProperties]) { log.info("Extension activation request found properties: \(properties)") } func request(_ request: OSSystemExtensionRequest, didFinishWithResult result: OSSystemExtensionRequest.Result) { guard result == .completed else { log.error("Unexpected result \(result.description) for system extension request") return } log.info("Extension activation request did finish with result: \(result.description)") enable() } func request(_ request: OSSystemExtensionRequest, actionForReplacingExtension existing: OSSystemExtensionProperties, withExtension ext: OSSystemExtensionProperties) -> OSSystemExtensionRequest.ReplacementAction { log.info("Existing extension willt be replaced: \(existing.bundleIdentifier) -> \(ext.bundleIdentifier)") return .replace } } import NetworkExtension class DNSProxyProvider: NEDNSProxyProvider { var handlers: [String: FlowHandler] = [:] var isReady = false let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "DNSProxyProvider") override func startProxy(options:[String: Any]? = nil, completionHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void) { completionHandler(nil) } override func stopProxy(with reason: NEProviderStopReason, completionHandler: @escaping () -> Void) { completionHandler() } override func handleNewUDPFlow(_ flow: NEAppProxyUDPFlow, initialRemoteEndpoint remoteEndpoint: NWEndpoint) -> Bool { let id = shortUUID() handlers[id] = FlowHandler(flow: flow, remoteEndpoint: remoteEndpoint, id: id, delegate: self) return true } override func handleNewFlow(_ flow: NEAppProxyFlow) -> Bool { return false } } class FlowHandler { let id: String let flow: NEAppProxyUDPFlow let remoteEndpoint: NWHostEndpoint let delegate: FlowHandlerDelegate private var connections: [String: RemoteConnection] = [:] private var pendingPacketsByDomain: [String: [(packet: Data, endpoint: NWEndpoint, uniqueID: String, timestamp: Date)]] = [:] private let packetQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.flowhandler.packetQueue") init(flow: NEAppProxyUDPFlow, remoteEndpoint: NWEndpoint, id: String, delegate: FlowHandlerDelegate) { log.info("Flow received for \(id) flow: \(String(describing: flow))") self.flow = flow self.remoteEndpoint = remoteEndpoint as!

Filtering MMS Messages with Multimedia Content (Images, Videos, etc.)
Hi Apple Developer, I’m working on a message-filtering application and reviewing Apple's documentation on message filtering. The documentation clearly states that MMS messages can be filtered. (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/identitylookup/sms-and-mms-message-filtering) When we refer to MMS, it includes images, short videos, and other supported multimedia formats. However, the ILMessageFilterQueryRequest only provides the message body as a String, meaning we can access text and links but not images or other media files. Could you please confirm whether Apple allows third-party applications to access multimedia content sent from unknown numbers? Looking forward to your quick response. Thanks, Rijul Singhal

BGTaskScheduler crashes on iOS 18.4
I've been seeing a high number of BGTaskScheduler related crashes, all of them coming from iOS 18.4. I've encountered this myself once on launch upon installing my app, but haven't been able to reproduce it since, even after doing multiple relaunches and reinstalls. Crash report attached at the bottom of this post. I am not even able to symbolicate the reports despite having the archive on my MacBook: Does anyone know if this is an iOS 18.4 bug or am I doing something wrong when scheduling the task? Below is my code for scheduling the background task on the view that appears when my app launches: .onChange(of: scenePhase) { newPhase in if newPhase == .active { #if !os(macOS) let request = BGAppRefreshTaskRequest(identifier: "notifications") request.earliestBeginDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .hour, value: 3, to: Date()) do { try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) Logger.notifications.log("Background task scheduled. Earliest begin date: \(request.earliestBeginDate?.description ?? "nil", privacy: .public)") } catch let error { // print("Scheduling Error \(error.localizedDescription)") Logger.notifications.error("Error scheduling background task: \(error.localizedDescription, privacy: .public)") } #endif ... } 2025-02-23_19-53-50.2294_+0000-876d2b8ec083447af883961da90398f00562f781.crash

Here are the products being loaded: Product loaded: weekly_product_id Display name: Weekly Pro Description: Weekly Pro Subscription Price: ₺229,99 Product loaded: annual_product_id Display name: Annual Pro Description: Annual Pro Subscription Price: ₺1.799,99 Even though I can see the correct prices and currency (Turkish Lira) in the Xcode debug console, on my real device the currency appears as Philippine Peso, as shown in the attached screenshot. Interestingly, in the iOS simulator, it's displayed in USD. I've double-checked and my device's region settings are set to Turkey. Any ideas on what could be causing this? And more importantly, how can I fix it? Thanks in advance!

APNS notifications of apns-push-type pushtotalk sometimes stop arriving after switching networks
PLATFORM AND VERSION: iOS Development environment: Other: .net MAUI with vscode Run-time configuration: iOS 18.1.1 DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM APNS notifications of apns-push-type pushtotalk sometimes stop arriving after switching networks. STEPS TO REPRODUCE We have created a simple app which can be used to deminstrate this issue. When you launch the app it displays the APNS token which you can then use fromn the Apple Push Console to manually send it PTT push notifications. https://github.com/trampster/PttPushNotificationIssue On an iPhone SE (we havn't been able to reproduce on our iPhone 11) Start the APP to register for the APNS push notifications Turn off the WiFi wait for 5 seconds Attempt a push to the app manually using the Push Notifications Console (this should fail, which is fine) Turn on Cellular and wait for it to connect Attempt to push to the app manually using the Push Notifications Console -> This fails, and all attempts to send an pushtotalk push notifications fail until the we switch network again. Send a push while offline before connecting to the new network seems to make it happen more often but hard to tell for sure. The results of the failed push in the console look like this: Delivery LogLast updated: 30/01/25, 16:45:06 GMT+13 Refresh 30 Jan 2025, 16:45:03.661 GMT+13 received by APNS Server 30 Jan 2025, 16:45:03.662 GMT+13 discarded as device was offline The device is actually very much online. Switching networks again oftern makes things come right. But it doesn't seem to come right by itself. We can't respond to network changes and do anything as the whole point of using push-to-talk push notifications is to wake up the app when in the background to answer a call, this means we are not running and therefore cannot respond to network changes to try to work arround this issue.

StoreKit Subscription Fails to Load During App Review, Works in Sandbox/TestFlight
Hi everyone, I’m facing a recurring issue with my macOS app being rejected during App Store review, and I’d really appreciate any guidance. The subscription flow in my app is implemented using StoreKit, and everything works perfectly in our development environment using a StoreKit configuration file. It also behaves as expected in Sandbox testing and TestFlight — I even had few beta testers confirm that the subscription information is displayed correctly and the purchase flow completes without issues. All required subscription details are configured in App Store Connect: • Subscription duration and the description of the services offered • Price and price per unit where applicable • Paid apps agreement and related forms are correctly filled However, when the app is submitted for review, the subscription screen fails to display the expected information. From what I can tell, the product information fails to load from the App Store in the review environment — even though everything is working fine on our side. We’ve already submitted a video to Apple showing the subscription UI working in the Sandbox environment, but the app continues to be rejected under guideline 3.1.2 due to missing subscription info in the binary. Is anyone else experiencing similar behavior during review? Could there be a caching issue or delay in StoreKit syncing for newly configured products? Any help or suggestions are very welcome. Thanks in advance!

Weatherkit API Historical 404 Errors Starting 3/5/25
We've been using the WeatherKit API for a few years now. Everything has been pretty stable. We'll periodically get 404 errors, but they usually disappear within a couple days. Starting March 5th we've again been getting 404 errors that slowly ramped up to March 20th and continued. We have had no code changes on our end, so something seems to have changed / broken on the server side of things. Here are some example API calls that are giving us a 404 error now https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/en/35.9981205/-78.8920444?dataSets=forecastDaily&dailyStart=2025-03-21T05:00:00Z&timezone=America/New_York&countryCode=US https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/en/41.4789363/-81.7404134?dataSets=forecastDaily&dailyStart=2025-03-21T04:56:00Z&timezone=America/New_York&countryCode=US Does anyone have any insights or information on this? Also if Apple is listening, an error more meaningful than 404 would be much much appreciated.

Clarification about ANCS being unavailable
Hello, I am working on a project that involves using external device to connect over BLE with users iPhone. I would like to be able to notify users on our device about eg. incoming calls, messages etc. I have been succesfull in using ANCS to achieve that but I am a little worried around consistency of this solution, especially taking into account following line from documentation: Due to the nature of iOS, the ANCS is not guaranteed to always be present. As a result, the NC should look for and subscribe to the Service Changed characteristic of the GATT service in order to monitor for the potential publishing and unpublishing of the ANCS at any time. I have not been able (yet?) to find or identify circumstances when ANCS would not be avilable or would be "removed in runtime", hence would it be possible to request some guidance and clarification on the conditions when ANCS can be unavailable or removed? Thank you!

push notifications are not receiving to device
iOS push notification is not working for in App since 03-Apr-2025. We are pushing the message to APNS from our application, but message is not delivered to iOS device. We have performed tests on both PROD and QA environment and following are the observations: PROD successfully pushing the notification to APNS but not receiving the notification on iOS device (100% failure). QA received notification on iOS device always (100% success). Analyzed PROD notification server log at our end and we do not observe any error and it is showing successful also when message is pushed to APNS all the time. Need to check from APNS why push messages are not delivered to iOS devices. Validated the PROD APNS certificate at our end which we are using during call to APNS - it is valid till Oct 2025. Please suggest me any possible solution because I don't have any clue where it is failing and what to do

Title: DNS Proxy Not Capturing Traffic When Public DNS Is Set in WiFi Settings
I'm working on a Network Extension using NEDNSProxyProvider to inspect DNS traffic. However, I've run into a couple of issues: DNS Proxy is not capturing traffic when a public DNS (like 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1) is manually configured in the WiFi settings. It seems like the system bypasses the proxy in this case. Is this expected behavior? Is there a way to force DNS traffic through the proxy even if a public DNS is set? Using DNS Proxy and DNS Settings simultaneously doesn't work. Is there a known limitation or a correct way to combine these? How to set DNS or DNSSettings using DNSProxy? import NetworkExtension import SystemExtensions import SwiftUI protocol DNSProxyManagerDelegate { func managerStateDidChange(_ manager: DNSProxyManager) } class DNSProxyManager: NSObject { private let manager = NEDNSProxyManager.shared() var delegate: DNSProxyManagerDelegate? private(set) var isEnabled: Bool = false { didSet { delegate?.managerStateDidChange(self) } } var completion: (() -> Void)? override init() { super.init() self.load() } func toggle() { isEnabled ? disable() : start() } private func start() { let request = OSSystemExtensionRequest .activationRequest(forExtensionWithIdentifier: Constants.extensionBundleID, queue: DispatchQueue.main) request.delegate = self OSSystemExtensionManager.shared.submitRequest(request) log.info("Submitted extension activation request") } private func enable() { update { self.manager.localizedDescription = "DNS Proxy" let proto = NEDNSProxyProviderProtocol() proto.providerBundleIdentifier = Constants.extensionBundleID self.manager.providerProtocol = proto self.manager.isEnabled = true } } private func disable() { update { self.manager.isEnabled = false } } private func remove() { update { self.manager.removeFromPreferences { _ in self.isEnabled = self.manager.isEnabled } } } private func update(_ body: @escaping () -> Void) { self.manager.loadFromPreferences { (error) in if let error = error { log.error("Failed to load DNS manager: \(error)") return } self.manager.saveToPreferences { (error) in if let error = error { return } log.info("Saved DNS manager") self.isEnabled = self.manager.isEnabled } } } private func load() { manager.loadFromPreferences { error in guard error == nil else { return } self.isEnabled = self.manager.isEnabled } } } extension DNSProxyManager: OSSystemExtensionRequestDelegate { func requestNeedsUserApproval(_ request: OSSystemExtensionRequest) { log.info("Extension activation request needs user approval") } func request(_ request: OSSystemExtensionRequest, didFailWithError error: Error) { log.error("Extension activation request failed: \(error)") } func request(_ request: OSSystemExtensionRequest, foundProperties properties: [OSSystemExtensionProperties]) { log.info("Extension activation request found properties: \(properties)") } func request(_ request: OSSystemExtensionRequest, didFinishWithResult result: OSSystemExtensionRequest.Result) { guard result == .completed else { log.error("Unexpected result \(result.description) for system extension request") return } log.info("Extension activation request did finish with result: \(result.description)") enable() } func request(_ request: OSSystemExtensionRequest, actionForReplacingExtension existing: OSSystemExtensionProperties, withExtension ext: OSSystemExtensionProperties) -> OSSystemExtensionRequest.ReplacementAction { log.info("Existing extension willt be replaced: \(existing.bundleIdentifier) -> \(ext.bundleIdentifier)") return .replace } } import NetworkExtension class DNSProxyProvider: NEDNSProxyProvider { var handlers: [String: FlowHandler] = [:] var isReady = false let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "DNSProxyProvider") override func startProxy(options:[String: Any]? = nil, completionHandler: @escaping (Error?) -> Void) { completionHandler(nil) } override func stopProxy(with reason: NEProviderStopReason, completionHandler: @escaping () -> Void) { completionHandler() } override func handleNewUDPFlow(_ flow: NEAppProxyUDPFlow, initialRemoteEndpoint remoteEndpoint: NWEndpoint) -> Bool { let id = shortUUID() handlers[id] = FlowHandler(flow: flow, remoteEndpoint: remoteEndpoint, id: id, delegate: self) return true } override func handleNewFlow(_ flow: NEAppProxyFlow) -> Bool { return false } } class FlowHandler { let id: String let flow: NEAppProxyUDPFlow let remoteEndpoint: NWHostEndpoint let delegate: FlowHandlerDelegate private var connections: [String: RemoteConnection] = [:] private var pendingPacketsByDomain: [String: [(packet: Data, endpoint: NWEndpoint, uniqueID: String, timestamp: Date)]] = [:] private let packetQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.flowhandler.packetQueue") init(flow: NEAppProxyUDPFlow, remoteEndpoint: NWEndpoint, id: String, delegate: FlowHandlerDelegate) { log.info("Flow received for \(id) flow: \(String(describing: flow))") self.flow = flow self.remoteEndpoint = remoteEndpoint as!

Accidentally Deleted the Build Version Slot in Versioning
I have an app I want to get on the App Store but when I was putting in the build version slot, I accidentally deleted it by clicking backspace and tried everything to get it working again but I can't. Is there anyway for me to retrieve the slot so it works?

Filtering MMS Messages with Multimedia Content (Images, Videos, etc.)
Hi Apple Developer, I’m working on a message-filtering application and reviewing Apple's documentation on message filtering. The documentation clearly states that MMS messages can be filtered. (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/identitylookup/sms-and-mms-message-filtering) When we refer to MMS, it includes images, short videos, and other supported multimedia formats. However, the ILMessageFilterQueryRequest only provides the message body as a String, meaning we can access text and links but not images or other media files. Could you please confirm whether Apple allows third-party applications to access multimedia content sent from unknown numbers? Looking forward to your quick response. Thanks, Rijul Singhal

BGTaskScheduler crashes on iOS 18.4
I've been seeing a high number of BGTaskScheduler related crashes, all of them coming from iOS 18.4. I've encountered this myself once on launch upon installing my app, but haven't been able to reproduce it since, even after doing multiple relaunches and reinstalls. Crash report attached at the bottom of this post. I am not even able to symbolicate the reports despite having the archive on my MacBook: Does anyone know if this is an iOS 18.4 bug or am I doing something wrong when scheduling the task? Below is my code for scheduling the background task on the view that appears when my app launches: .onChange(of: scenePhase) { newPhase in if newPhase == .active { #if !os(macOS) let request = BGAppRefreshTaskRequest(identifier: "notifications") request.earliestBeginDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .hour, value: 3, to: Date()) do { try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) Logger.notifications.log("Background task scheduled. Earliest begin date: \(request.earliestBeginDate?.description ?? "nil", privacy: .public)") } catch let error { // print("Scheduling Error \(error.localizedDescription)") Logger.notifications.error("Error scheduling background task: \(error.localizedDescription, privacy: .public)") } #endif ... } 2025-02-23_19-53-50.2294_+0000-876d2b8ec083447af883961da90398f00562f781.crash
