After update to MacOS Sonoma 14.7.1 (23H222) my external monitor immediately started to flicker (noticeable even on 100Hz refresh rate). During the update the external monitor was connected to the laptop. Flickering persist on personal Windows laptop too. Tried to connect/disconnect current cables, flickering persists. Tried to switch to another cable Display port to HDMI, flickering persists. Monitor now is basically unusable, the update damaged it.

Is it possible for the Bluetooth permissions of an app to be turned off due to changes in the iOS application's Bluetooth library, possibly because of Apple's security requirements or OS-related factors? There are two applications, Application A and Application B, that control Bluetooth devices. Application A uses a third-party Bluetooth library to control the Bluetooth devices. Application B also uses a third-party Bluetooth library to control the Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth libraries used by Application A and Application B are different, but both applications work without any issues. However, when the Bluetooth library used in Application B was changed to the one used in Application A, the Bluetooth permissions for Application B sometimes turned off. Since Application A and Application B operate without any issues on their own, we believe the problem is not with the Bluetooth libraries themselves. Given the above situation, is it possible that changing the Bluetooth library used could cause the Bluetooth permissions of the app to be turned off due to Apple's security requirements or OS-related factors?

We have an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator & Microsoft Authenticator) with a push notification feature. From past 2 weeks we are not receiving push notifications in the app. Any changes made recently in Apple Firebase which would impact the push notification functionality.

Hi, I have been looking into Core Data crashes happening when the app is in background and fault is fired due to some processing happening within the app. The stack looks like this where the line 5 just accesses a property of the NSManagedObject's subclass. Unfortunately I don't see any additional information about the exception itself. Therefore, I was wondering if anyone could shed some light on which exception the NSFaultHandler.m:395 is triggering and why. Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 Triggered by Thread: 10 Last Exception Backtrace: 0 CoreFoundation 0x1d15b8e38 __exceptionPreprocess + 164 (NSException.m:202) 1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x1ca7478d8 objc_exception_throw + 60 (objc-exception.mm:356) 2 CoreData 0x1d8dda27c _PFFaultHandlerLookupRow + 2508 (NSFaultHandler.m:395) 3 CoreData 0x1d8e024e0 _PF_FulfillDeferredFault + 200 (NSFaultHandler.m:915) 4 CoreData 0x1d8eb8f1c _sharedIMPL_pvfk_core + 168 (NSManagedObject_Accessors.m:1198) 5 MyApp 0x103641928 closure #8 in static ChatChannel.create(fromDTO:depth:) + 304 (ChannelDTO.swift:531) At first I was thinking if this could be a case of accessing a deleted object while the context is still referencing it, but does not look like it. At least I can't reproduce it (tried deleting objects using a separate context and even with container but no crash happens). Happy to learn about different cases what could trigger exception with this stack. Notes: Contexts I use are all created with newBackgroundContext method.

Is it possible to use CloudKit and add integrations, Google Drive for example. If possible, how?

Only development environment can real sync. But product environment can't sync.

Our team had previously encountered deprecation warnings for applicationIconBadgeNumber, but while working with iOS 18.0.1 and Xcode version 16.1, I no longer see these warnings. Has the deprecation been reversed, or do we need to address it on our end? Please provide insights on whether the deprecation still applies, as there are no warnings in Xcode for that API and action items on the integrators.

Hello, I recently switched my app from flutter which was using sqlite3 database. I would like to migrate my existing users to SwiftData. The issue is I do not know where to start in finding the database for the current users, reading the data and inserting into the SwiftData schema. I tried searching but not clear on how to proceed. Any help pointing in the right direction would be great. Thanks.

I'm testing auto renewable subscription, specifically using Xcode testing (not sandbox). It seems that subscriptions are automatically cancelled after some time. I haven't found any documentation on how long time this is, so does anyone know?

I am developing a USB networking accessory using the CDC ECM or NCM protocol and I would like to know what are the MacOS and iPadOS requirements to connect to such a device. I have a prototype CDC ECM device developed that uses static IPv4 addressing which I can connect to an Arch Linux host and ping, but I am unable to have the same success from my Mac Studio M1 running Sequoia 15.1.1. The device shows up under 'Other Services' with 'Not connected' status, whether I leave it with the default settings or change it to 'Configure IPv4 -> Manually' and then set the appropriate IP address / Subnet mask / Router. From a discussion on Github, it seems that the ECM device must support NetworkConnection notification in order to work with MacOS. Can you point me to where this is documented and whether there are other expectations/requirements around USB network adapters? My end goal is to make an embedded device that communicates to MacOS and iPadOS devices/apps over USB CDC NCM with a simple UDP socket listener. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi, I am new to swift and IOS development, I was developing an app which can be used to communicating between Apple Watch and iPhone. Something strange occurred when I was trying to observe the status of the message(UserInfo) sent by func transferUserInfo(_ userInfo: [String : Any] = [:]) -> WCSessionUserInfoTransfer. I was trying to observe isTransferring(a boolean value) in WCSessionUserInfoTransfer which was returned by the function mentioned above, but it seems cannot be updated even if the message queue was empty, it seems to always be True. Here is my sample code: let transfer = session.transferUserInfo(message) if transfer.isTransferring { Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 0.5, repeats: true) { timer in print("Queued message count: \(self.session.outstandingUserInfoTransfers.count), isTransferring:\(transfer.isTransferring)") if !transfer.isTransferring { timer.invalidate() // irrelevant codes... } } } else { // other irrelevant codes... } Appreciate if anyone can help me out of this problem. Best wishes.

I couldn't get iCloud root directory ("iCloud Drive not available or user domain not found."). Anybody had similar issue? I don't want to CloudKit. Xcode: Version 16.0 I have done below: Settings > iCloud Backup ON Settings > iCloud > iCloud Drive ON Settings > iCloud > MyApp ON import Foundation import UIKit class BackupManager { var isiCloudEnabled: Bool { (FileManager.default.ubiquityIdentityToken != nil) } // Get the iCloud Drive folder and create a folder if needed func createFolder() -> URL? { let fileManager = FileManager.default // Access the iCloud Drive root directory (user-visible folder) guard let iCloudRootURL = fileManager.url(forUbiquityContainerIdentifier: nil)? .appendingPathComponent("Documents") else { print("iCloud Drive not available or user domain not found.") return nil } // Check if the folder exists in iCloud Drive root, if not, create it if !fileManager.fileExists(atPath: iCloudRootURL.path) { do { try fileManager.createDirectory(at: iCloudRootURL, withIntermediateDirectories: true, attributes: nil) print("Folder created in iCloud Drive") } catch { print("Error creating folder: \(error.localizedDescription)") return nil } } // Return the URL of the folder in iCloud Drive return iCloudRootURL } }

I've found an app that has a call blocking feature an is able to add more than 10_000_000 entries. As I understand it doesn't use more than one extension for it because I see only one in the Call Blocking & Identifying settings menu. How to implement that? My limit now is around 1_800_000 entries.

Hello, We have seen the following URL from one of our users when using Apple Pay http://cn-apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/ It appears to be from the China region. Do we need to add this URL to our trusted domains? A little more context, the user is located in the United States and users from China should not be accessing our site. Does this mean the users device is set to China as a region?

For instore payment, we are building payment app that would accept Applepay as method of payment and our payment gateway integration support Applepay. We are building this app for a Merchant based in Netherlands and wanted to check if there is any restriction in generating QR code that include apple pay payload and ask instore Cashier to scan the mobile QR using the barcode scanner to initial the transaction. Let me know if there is a restriction or limitation in generating the QR code to include Applepay payment details.

Hey team, we are having some unexpected transactions being sent to us by the Store Kit service. Right after we process a transaction, another transaction, with a different id, is received on paymentQueue(_:updatedTransactions:) without the user interaction. This is breaking some of our internal flows and there were some reports of users being charged twice. I'm trying to understand where did these transactions came from and how can we avoid that. Can you help me? I've attached some transactions that had this issue: match_incomplete_purchases.csv

Hello. tell application "Microsoft Excel" Where can I find complete help for all Excel commands?

When we upload workout data to HealthKit the route information with the workout detailed data is incomplete: just a few dots. When we select "Show all workout routes" the route data for the same workout shows correctly. We use the HKWorkoutBuilder to store the workout data, and add the location data with the HKWorkoutRouteBuilder to the workout with Is this an Apple Health issue, or do we have to change something in the way we store the location data to the workout?

We have Mac OS VM which has two network interfaces and both are active. In our application we need “State:/Network/Global/IPv6” to do some task but on this machine it seems to be missing, however if we disable one of the interface then the same setting seems to be available and our code works fine. Please find the attached screenshots of working & non-working details:
