NEHotspotConfigurationManager joinAccessoryHotspot not working when using ssidPrefix
When using ssidPrefix in the descriptor and completing the AccessorySetupKit setup, I attempt to connect to the accessory's Wi-Fi hotspot using NEHotspotConfigurationManager joinAccessoryHotspot. The connection fails with the following error: Error Domain=NEHotspotConfigurationErrorDomain Code=1 "invalid SSID." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=invalid SSID.} I'm using a prefix that is at least 3 characters. If I provide ssid instead of ssidPrefix it connects successfully.

Timezone for Device Notification statistics?
What timezone is used in the CloudKit Push Notification reporting? Meaning, when I see 1,000 Sent Push Notifications on 2/18, is that 2025-02-18 00:00 through 2025-02-18 23:59 PST? EST? UTC? The metrics shown in [the CloudKit Push Notification reporting] are not lining up with stats from my marketing system, and I'm trying to diagnose. Also, is there a way to see DELIVERIES or just SENT? I'm looking to learn more about why a Notification would be Sent but not received by the user. Thank you!

Offline Mapkit tiles
I'm currently developing an app with mapkit which I may submit to the Swift Student Challenge. So anyways, the app will be used completely offline. I was wondering if there was any way to include very low resolution map tiles with the app files. That way, the app never needs wifi. However, I'm not sure if this is possible, especially since the map would need to be under 20 mb. Thanks.

Date that is not linked to TimeZone
Hello, I'm creating an app that stores multiple Date objects: the users selects a date and a time and receives a notification at this time precisely. The problem that happens is after saving a Date, if the device's timezone changes, the Date also changes - and that is not what's I'm expecting (just want the original time as is without depending on timezone). I have inspected the TimeZone properties when I'm building the Date from DateComponents but nothing has worked. Thank you for your answer.

App Store Server Notification sends old transactions
I've noticed that CONSUMPTION_REQUEST notifications sometimes have a signedTransactionInfo which corresponds not to the latest transaction, but to an earlier transaction in a subscription. Is this expected? I thought signedTransactionInfo was always the latest subscription information? Are there any other notification types for which signedTransactionInfo can be out of date?

Update an existing app with launch daemon to use Endpoint Security
My question is: Do I need two App IDs? One for my launch daemon in order to sign it properly, allowing it to use the Endpoint Security framework. One for the container app. My understanding is that my existing launch daemon can perform the endpoint security requirements I need. So far, I have had just one App ID for my container app that lives in /Applications. I have applied for the endpoint security restricted entitlement and have this for development now. Do endpoint security items have go in Library/SystemExtension? Can my launch daemon live in Library/LaunchDaemons and still use the Endpoint Security framework?

StoreKit2 Subscription Verification
My question is simple, I do not have much experience in writing swift code, I am only doing it to create a small executable that I can call from my python application which completes Subcription Management. I was hoping someone with more experience could point out my flaws along with giving me tips on how to verify that the check is working for my applicaiton. Any inight is appreciated, thank you. import Foundation import StoreKit class SubscriptionValidator { static func getReceiptURL() -> URL? { guard let appStoreReceiptURL = Bundle.main.appStoreReceiptURL else { print("No receipt found.") return nil } return appStoreReceiptURL } static func validateReceipt() -> Bool { guard let receiptURL = getReceiptURL(), let receiptData = try? Data(contentsOf: receiptURL) else { print("Could not read receipt.") return false } let receiptString = receiptData.base64EncodedString() let validationResult = sendReceiptToApple(receiptString: receiptString) return validationResult } static func sendReceiptToApple(receiptString: String) -> Bool { let isSandbox = Bundle.main.appStoreReceiptURL?.lastPathComponent == "sandboxReceipt" let urlString = isSandbox ? "https://sandbox.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt" : "https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt" let url = URL(string: urlString)! let requestData: [String: Any] = [ "receipt-data": receiptString, "password": "0b7f88907b77443997838c72be52f5fc" ] guard let requestBody = try?

When Using Callkit audio doesn't have permission to work
I am creating a voip app, I am trying to use call kit to answer calls, however audio doesn't seem to work when using callKit when looking at the systems logs I see no server connection when checking background audio state, won't allow background audio! background audio processAllowed = 0 for displayID com.apple.TelephonyUtilities no server connection when checking background audio state, won't allow background audio! background audio processAllowed = 0 for displayID {my app id} I have the plist entries for background ui modes for voip, audio, fetch and background notifications along with the backgrounds modes for Voip, Audio, AirPlay, and Picture in Picture, Background notifications. I am unsure what to do about this, like my reading of the error is I can't use audio cause I am not connected to a server, but like is it any server, Am I suppose to connect to the voip call before setting up audio, I am not sure how to do that.

Apps made through .net maui don't work with local networks.
Apps made through .net maui don't work with local networks. I'm using the .net 8 framework, and I followed the app to the ios system through .net Maui after connecting it to the computer through a data cable. When I open the app, I get a request to access the local network and I agree to it. But still my app is not accessible. I have asserted it correctly inside info.plist. How can I fix this issue

Clarification Needed on Apple Push Notification Service Server Certificate Update Requirements for Token-Based vs. Certificate-Based Authentication
Hello Apple Developer Team, Based on the mandate to update the APNs certificate by February 24, 2025 for certificate-based authentication, a question from the team has been brought up that maybe Apple or the community can help answer. Since our implementation uses token-based authentication, I’m seeking clarification on a couple of points: 1. Does the certificate update affect token-based connections at all? 2. What is the rationale behind updating certificates for certificate-based authentication, and are there any implications or benefits for developers using token-based authentication? Understanding these details will help us ensure our system remains compliant and optimally configured. Any guidance or further clarification you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Automator error when running Watch Me Do-created script
Hi everyone, I'm trying to use Automator to batch process PDF files. I have hundreds of academic journal article PDFs whose page sizes vary from 5x7 inches to A4 format (8.27 x 11.69 inches). I want to scale all the PDFs to US Letter size (8.5 x 11.0 inches) such that smaller originals remain 100% scale but are centered on the larger page and larger originals are scaled down to fit the page. Manually opening a PDF in Preview.app, scaling it to US Letter paper, and using the Save as PDF option is producing the desired output for me. I captured my workflow using the Watch Me Do action in Automator, then adjusted it into the following AppleScript. -- a Get Specified Finder Items action to specify the input PDFs precedes this script on run {input, parameters} repeat with filePath in input -- Open the file in Preview tell application "Preview" open filePath activate end tell -- Give Preview some time to open the file delay 2.0 -- Press ⌘P set timeoutSeconds to 0.25 set uiScript to "keystroke \"p\" using command down" my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds) -- Click the “Scale to Fit:” radio button. delay 2.0 set timeoutSeconds to 2.0 set uiScript to "click radio button \"Scale to Fit:\" of radio group 1 of group 1 of group 2 of scroll area 2 of splitter group 1 of sheet 1 of window 1 of application process \"Preview\"" my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds) -- Click the “<fill in title>” menu button. delay 4.0 set timeoutSeconds to 2.000000 set uiScript to "click menu button 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of sheet 1 of window 1 of application process \"Preview\"" my doWithTimeout( uiScript, timeoutSeconds ) -- Save as PDF… delay 2.0 set timeoutSeconds to 2.0 set uiScript to "click menu item 2 of menu 1 of splitter group 1 of sheet 1 of window 1 of application process \"Preview\"" my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds) -- Click the “Save” button. delay 8.0 set timeoutSeconds to 2.0 set uiScript to "click UI Element \"Save\" of sheet 1 of sheet 1 of window 1 of application process \"Preview\"" my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds) -- Press ⌘W to close the file delay 0.25 set timeoutSeconds to 2.0 set uiScript to "keystroke \"w\" using command down" my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds) end repeat return input end run on doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds) set endDate to (current date) + timeoutSeconds repeat try run script "tell application \"System Events\" " & uiScript & " end tell" exit repeat on error errorMessage if ((current date) > endDate) then error "Can not " & uiScript end if end try end repeat end doWithTimeout My problem arises at the Save as PDF step. When this action runs, I see the PDF menu pop open: but the Save as PDF... menu item doesn't get clicked. Instead, I get an error: Can anyone advise on how to overcome this error?

Kernel panic related to Watchdog in custom virtual file system
Hi. I am facing a panic in distributed virtual filesystem of my own making. The panic arises on attempt of copying a large folder, or writing a large file (both around 20gb). An important note here is that the amount of files we try to copy is larger than available space (for testing purposes, the virtual file system had a capacity of 18 gigabytes). The panic arises somewhere on 12-14gigabytes deep into copying. On the moment of panic, there are still several gigabytes of storage left. The problem is present for sure for such architectures and macOS versions: Sonoma 14.7.1 arm64e Monterey 12.7.5 arm64e Ventura 13.7.1 intel Part from panic log from Ventura 13.7.1 intel, with symbolicated addresses: panic(cpu 2 caller 0xffffff80191a191a): watchdog timeout: no checkins from watchdogd in 90 seconds (48 total checkins since monitoring last enabled) Panicked task 0xffffff907c99f698: 191 threads: pid 0: kernel_task Backtrace (CPU 2), panicked thread: 0xffffff86e359cb30, Frame : Return Address 0xffffffff001d7bb0 : 0xffffff8015e70c7d mach_kernel : _handle_debugger_trap + 0x4ad 0xffffffff001d7c00 : 0xffffff8015fc52e4 mach_kernel : _kdp_i386_trap + 0x114 0xffffffff001d7c40 : 0xffffff8015fb4df7 mach_kernel : _kernel_trap + 0x3b7 0xffffffff001d7c90 : 0xffffff8015e11971 mach_kernel : _return_from_trap + 0xc1 0xffffffff001d7cb0 : 0xffffff8015e70f5d mach_kernel : _DebuggerTrapWithState + 0x5d 0xffffffff001d7da0 : 0xffffff8015e70607 mach_kernel : _panic_trap_to_debugger + 0x1a7 0xffffffff001d7e00 : 0xffffff80165db9a3 mach_kernel : _panic_with_options + 0x89 0xffffffff001d7ef0 : 0xffffff80191a191a com.apple.driver.watchdog : IOWatchdog::userspacePanic(OSObject*, void*, IOExternalMethodArguments*) (.cold.1) 0xffffffff001d7f20 : 0xffffff80191a10a1 com.apple.driver.watchdog : IOWatchdog::checkWatchdog() + 0xd7 0xffffffff001d7f50 : 0xffffff80174f960b com.apple.driver.AppleSMC : SMCWatchDogTimer::watchdogThread() + 0xbb 0xffffffff001d7fa0 : 0xffffff8015e1119e mach_kernel : _call_continuation + 0x2e Kernel Extensions in backtrace: com.apple.driver.watchdog(1.0)[BD08CE2D-77F5-358C-8F0D-A570540A0BE7]@0xffffff801919f000->0xffffff80191a1fff com.apple.driver.AppleSMC(3.1.9)[DD55DA6A-679A-3797-947C-0B50B7B5B659]@0xffffff80174e7000->0xffffff8017503fff dependency: com.apple.driver.watchdog(1)[BD08CE2D-77F5-358C-8F0D-A570540A0BE7]@0xffffff801919f000->0xffffff80191a1fff dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOACPIFamily(1.4)[D342E754-A422-3F44-BFFB-DEE93F6723BC]@0xffffff8018446000->0xffffff8018447fff dependency: com.apple.iokit.IOPCIFamily(2.9)[481BF782-1F4B-3F54-A34A-CF12A822C40D]@0xffffff80188b6000->0xffffff80188e7fff Process name corresponding to current thread (0xffffff86e359cb30): kernel_task Boot args: keepsyms=1 Mac OS version: 22H221 Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 22.6.0: Thu Sep 5 20:48:48 PDT 2024; root:xnu-8796.141.3.708.1~1/RELEASE_X86_64 The origin of the problem is surely inside my filesystem. However, the panic happens not there but somewhere in watchdog. As far as I can tell, the source code for watchdog is not available for public. I can't understand what causes the panic. Let's say we have run out of space. Couldn't write data. Writing received a proper error message and aborted. That's what is expected. However, it is unclear for why the panic arises.

UE 5.4 Game Instantly Crash on iOS devices on Testflight
Hi, I'm working on a game for the past few years using first Unreal Engine 4, and now Unreal Engine 5.4.4. I'm experiencingan unusual crash on startup on some devices . The crash is so fast that I'm barely able to see the launching screen sometimes because the app closes itself before that. I got a EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) so I know that it's a null pointer reference, but I can't quite wrap my head about the cause, I think that's something messed up in the packaging of the app, but here is where I'm blocked, I'm not that accustomed with apple devices. If someone has some advise to give, please, any help will be very valuable. Many thanks. Log : Crash Log on Ipad

Default payment method option bug?
Hi team at Apple, here is a scenario we came across: The order of priority of payment methods in Apple Wallet follows: Credit Debit Apple Cash Our app displays a payment sheet that excludes credit cards. Instead of a debit card, the default payment option shown to the user on the payment sheet is Apple Cash. Is this a known issue or have we configured something wrong in our end?
