Hello everyone,
I would like to dictate a text with Shortcuts and then send it to one of two e-mail addresses (private or business).
I would like to be able to select one of two email addresses.
Unfortunately, I am not able to pass an email address as a parameter to the Send email function. Is it possible to do this?
I'm new to apple and I'm all but not a programmer. So take pity on me :)
Best, Niko

How to encrypt bytes with CCM method in KMP?
I have been struggling to test the IAP response but it is returning empty. I am now in the very beginning of one app, and I don't want to submit the contacts and banking and tax stuff that early. are these necessary for even testing IAP results locally? I think it does not make sense if I have to.
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to develop a DriverKit for RAID system, using PCIDriverKit & SCSIControllerDriverKit framework. The driver can detect the Vendor ID and Device ID. But before communicating to the RAID system, I would like to simulate a virtual Volume using a memory block to talk with macOS.
In the UserInitializeController(), I allocated a 512K memory for a IOBufferMemoryDescriptor* volumeBuffer, but fail to use Map() to map memory for volumeBuffer.
result = ivars->volumeBuffer->Map(
0, // Options: Use default
0, // Offset: Start of the buffer
ivars->volumeSize, // Length: Must not exceed buffer size
0, // Flags: Use default
nullptr, // Address space: Default address space
&mappedAddress // Output parameter
);
Log("Memory mapped completed at address: 0x%llx", mappedAddress); // this line never run
The Log for Map completed never run, just restart to run the Start() and makes this Driver re-run again and again, in the end, the driver eat out macOS's memory and system halt.
Are the parameters for Map() error? or I should not put this code in UserInitializeController()?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I am currently developing a call service using CallKit and VoIP push. Recently, I have encountered a very challenging issue. During testing, when a VoIP push is received, the incomingCall gets triggered continuously, but then it automatically terminates after about 1-2 seconds. I am checking this issue under the debug scheme, and even when switching to different commits, the same problem persists.
I suspect it might be an issue with the device, but I would like to confirm the cause and find a solution. Below are some characteristics I have noticed:
On this device, when a VoIP push is received, CallKit automatically terminates, but this does not occur when debugging.
The issue always occurs when not debugging.
Looking at the device console logs related to callservicesd, there are many logs with 'invalidate' appended.
For example:
Invalidating process assertion for bundle ID from timeout
All calls ended. Clearing system uplink muted cache
Invalidate callDurationUpdateTimer
InCallService has changed process state to 2
InCallService has been suspended; invalidating its XPC client connections.
[0x565544180] invalidated because the current process cancelled the connection by calling xpc_connection_cancel()
XPC connection invalidated from client
These logs appear although our server did not receive any incoming call request, so we did not terminate it on our end. I also checked if there was a crash, but there were no reports left on the device.
Could you please share any insights into the cause or solutions for this situation?
Thank you.
Hi All, I would like to develop a small macOS app using swift. I want to use ImageCaptureCore to access and control connected scanners ( via usb). I followed the official docs and wrote this ScannerManager. The code seems to be working without issues or warnings.
I added the Hardened Runtime capability and both com.apple.security.personal-information.photos-library and com.apple.security.device.usb to the .entitlements file.
As well added NSCameraUsageDescription to the Info.plist.
Problem:
None of my scanners do get detected (tested 2 different models). Of course, they are connected and do get recognized by the Image Capture App (and work as expected) and are listed in the systems app, too.
When I connect my phone it does get detected by the
func deviceBrowser(_ browser: ICDeviceBrowser, didAdd...
delegate function. Thats why I believe my code is working but the app is lacking permissions to detect scanners somehow. Does anyone know something about this?
I am using macOS 15.1.1 (24B91) on a M1 Pro.
Many thanks in advance!
class ScannerManager: NSObject, ICDeviceBrowserDelegate, ICDeviceDelegate {
let deviceBrowser: ICDeviceBrowser
private var currentDevice: ICDevice?
private var scannerDeviceDelegate: ScannerDeviceDelegate?
var isScanning = false
var scanners: [ICDevice] = []
// MARK: - Initialization
override init() {
print("🚀 Initializing ScannerManager...")
self.deviceBrowser = ICDeviceBrowser()
super.init()
self.deviceBrowser.delegate = self
// Log the initial browsed device type mask
self.deviceBrowser.browsedDeviceTypeMask = .scanner
print("🔍 Starting device browser...")
self.deviceBrowser.start()
// Enhanced device logging
if let devices = deviceBrowser.devices {
print("\n📱 Connected devices overview:")
print("Total devices found: \(devices.count)")
if devices.isEmpty {
print("⚠️ No devices currently connected")
} else {
devices.forEach { device in
print("\n📌 Device Details:")
print(" - Name: \(device.name ?? "unnamed")")
print(" - Type: \(String(describing: device.type))")
print(" - Transport Type: \(String(describing: device.transportType))")
print(" - Status: \(device.hasOpenSession ? "In Use" : "Available")")
print(" - Persistent ID: \(String(describing: device.persistentIDString))")
print(" - Location: \(device.locationDescription ?? "Unknown")")
print(" - Capabilities: \(String(describing: device.capabilities))")
}
}
} else {
print("⚠️ Unable to access device list")
}
}

So what's the point of being able to block unto 50 apps per ManagedSettingStore via store.application.blockedApplications (which works fine) until removing the blocked apps or clearing the store. Where the following occurs
if you have a social networking group with more than 9 apps only 9 apps will go back into the group and all the others will go onto the springboard all jumbled
if you end up with an empty group then tap into the group, it is removed then during the reset all apps are placed back on to the springboard

Hi All,
I have created a Push Notification certificate from my Apple Developer account. After downloading the aps.cer file and adding it to my Keychain, the certificate was added successfully, but the private key is missing.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue in the past? What could be causing this problem?
We're running into an issue with our pkg bundle where the main .app file disappears after installation and wanted to see if anyone has an idea about what would cause it.
We have a pkg bundle with three separate apps, one primary app and two supporting apps. We distribute this pkg bundle directly to our users, who will manually install it on their devices (rather than through the app store).
The installation itself will usually complete without any issues, and we aren't seeing anything in the install or system logs indicating that it was removed afterward (our postinstall script checks that all of the files exist and are in the correct locations), but after the installation the main app disappears while the rest of the files (including the supporting apps) we lay down are still present. Sometimes it will fail with an error similar to this:
2024-10-02 09:43:07-04 MBA-L-8114 installer[9894]: Error getting application status info for file:///Applications/.hiddenfolder/app1.app: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file "app1.app" couldn't be opened because there is no such file." UserInfo={NSURL=file:///Applications/.hiddenfolder/app1.app, NSFilePath=/Applications/.hiddenfolder/app1.app, NSUnderlyingError=0x6000026a0d50 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}}
This only happens on certain computers, but on those computers it will happen consistently. We have noticed that it seems to happen more often with computers that are MDM configured.
So far we’ve investigated permissions issues with the build process, installation script issues, and signing/notarizing, but have not found anything that might cause this issue. We did verify that we’re setting BundleIsRelocatable NO in the plist file for our package, so in theory it shouldn’t be trying to move the app after installation (we don't see the main app anywhere on the device so macOS doesn't seem to be moving it).
We have another post going into more technical detail here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/769443

The crash stack is as follows, and this crash only occurs on this model.
Hello developers! I am working with a team of North Carolina State University researchers to create an app or program that can retrieve real-time traffic events, such as hazards, road closures, and road construction alerts, in a similar manner to the Apple Maps app, but with the added functionality of collecting them over a historical period given a start and end date.
I'm looking through the MapKit documentation, but there doesn't appear to be any functions exposing granular traffic data (i.e. road hazards), just travel times and level of congestion. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Is what I'm looking to do even possible using just Apple data?

I am needing to add/delete shortcuts in our app without using the Add to Siri button. But have been stymied at every turn. The most recent example is some code that uses an "AppShortcutCenter" call, supposedly added in iOS 17. But there is no such thing as that which I can find. What gives, and what's needed to do custom shortcuts on demand programmatically?
When simulating a Storekit error like an invalid device verification or others of that type, should we finish a failed transaction? When I test with a Storekit configuration file, all failed transactions persist after every restart. The Apple-provided sample code for Storekit 2 has transactions finished only when they are successful.
Hello, I’m trying to change my business model within the app, and following Apple’s documentation guidelines HERE I created this task in the main view of the app. It seems to work perfectly in the simulator, on physical devices, and on TestFlight. However, after releasing it to production and uploading the new version to the App Store, it doesn’t work, and all users, whether new or existing, are asked to subscribe. In the console, it appears to retrieve the transactions correctly, but in production, I’m not sure how to view the console or see what it’s retrieving.
Here the sandbox receipt I obtained
AppTransaction.shared obtained: {
"applicationVersion" : "1",
"bundleId" : "com.anestesiaIB.Drugs-Infusion-Calc",

Hi there,
I am using WeatherKit to display weather forecast information in an app.
I would like to include some information about when the weather forecast was issued for my users to see.
This information is included in the response Metadata as documented in the WeatherKit REST API docs:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/weatherkitrestapi/metadata
Specifically there is a “reportedTime” property which I would like to use here.
However I am consuming WeatherKit via the Swift API, I don’t see this property available via the Swift APIs.
How can I access the reportedTime property via the WeatherKit Swift APIs? Or is it not exposed via the Swift APIs?
Stripe offers variable payment structures, also known as "irregular recurring payments," which include:
Usage-based billing: Charges amounts based on usage during the billing cycle (e.g., minutes used or energy consumed).
Quantity-based billing: Charges a pre-agreed amount based on quantity (e.g., number of users in a subscription).
Is it possible to implement this type of billing in the Apple Store for apps? How would variations in amounts be handled?

Since updating to M4 Pro MBP running MacOS 15.2 and now 15.3 beta, predictive text and auto completion does not show in any apps on my computer. This all worked on previous M3 Pro MBP.
Predictive text/auto completion is not working in any Microsoft apps either, and my settings are missing certain elements that my wife's M3 MBP show in Outlook.
Any help would be appreciated.
