Hi, please see detailed findings on: https://github.com/utmapp/UTM/discussions/6799 basically apps that runned via Rosetta Linux now fail in kernels>=6.11 like the included in Ubuntu 24.10 with: /media/rosetta/rosetta hello assertion failed [hash_table != nullptr]: Failed to find vdso DT_HASH (Vdso.cpp:78 get_vdso_dynamic_data) Trace/breakpoint trap the issue seems to be due to this commit. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/48f6430505c0b0498ee9020ce3cf9558b1caaaeb

Hi everyone, Our app helps users block adult websites to promote focus and digital wellness. During the App Store review, it was flagged under Guideline 2.5.1 for using a VPN profile to block content, with Apple advising us to remove this feature. Since blocking adult content is core to our app, we’re looking for compliant alternatives: Can Network Extensions Framework (e.g., NEDNSProxyProvider) be used for on-device filtering? Would pre-configured safe DNS (e.g., CleanBrowsing) be acceptable? Are there compliant examples of similar apps? Any advice on achieving this functionality within Apple’s guidelines would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've realized that I need to use migration plans, but those required versioned schemas. I think I've updated mine, but I wanted to confirm if this was the proper procedure. To start, none of my models were versioned. I've since wrapped them in a VersionedSchema like this: enum TagV1: VersionedSchema { static var versionIdentifier: Schema.Version = .init(1, 0, 0) static var models: [any PersistentModel.Type] { [Tag.self] } @Model final class Tag { var id = UUID() var name: String = "" // Relationships var transactions: [Transaction]? = nil init(name: String) { self.name = name } } } I also created a type alias to point to this. typealias Tag = TagV1.Tag This is what my container looks like in my app file. var sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer = { let schema = Schema([ Tag.self ]) let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) do { return try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) } catch { fatalError("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error)") } }() The application builds and run successfully. Does this mean that my models are successfully versioned now? I'm trying to avoid an error I came across in earlier testing. That occurred because none of my models were versioned and I tried to setup a migration plan Cannot use staged migration with an unknown coordinator model version.

I have a question with isEligibleForIntroOffer(for: groupId) that in which case that isEligibleForIntroOfferForGroupId changes from false to true. I found that a few user of our app isEligibleForIntroOffer changes. they used to buy a renewing-subscription with 3-day free trial. but 3 days later. i got from logs their isEligibleForIntroOffer becomes true. We rely on this field to determine whether to display products with free trials. there is only one product with free trial introductory offer.

I encounter a problem that duplicate charges for a single purchase. iI received two transactions with the same appAccountToken but different original transactionId.(a non-renewing subscription product). One of them is from Transaction.updates. The user of our app has already given us feedback twice. the phone runs iOS 18.0.1.

I have some questions regarding the specifications of the receipt information that can be obtained from https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get_transaction_info. When a subscription is newly purchased, it is expected that the purchaseDate should reflect the time of purchase and should not be later than this time, such as an hour after the purchase. Is this understanding correct? We observed a phenomenon where, when a user purchased a new subscription between 17:30 and 20:00 JST on November 3, 2024, the purchaseDate in the received receipt was delayed by one hour compared to the actual purchase time. Is this a specification or an issue? When validating the receipt for a newly purchased subscription, if the purchaseDate reflects a time later than when the purchase was made, should I regard the user as having subscription rights at the time of validation?

I'm looking into a newer XPC API available starting with macOS 14. Although it's declared as a low-level API I can't figure it how to specify code signing requirement using XPCListener and XPCSession. How do I connect it with xpc_listener_set_peer_code_signing_requirement and xpc_connection_set_peer_code_signing_requirement which require xpc_listener_t and xpc_connection_t respectively? Foundation XPC is declared as a high-level API and provides easy ways to specify code signing requirements on both ends of xpc. I'm confused with all these XPC APIs and their future: Newer really high-level XPCListener and XPCSession API (in low-level framework???) Low-level xpc_listener_t & xpc_connection_t -like API. Is it being replaced by newer XPCListener and XPCSession? How is it related to High-level Foundation XPC? Are NSXPCListener and NSXPCConnection going to be deprecated and replaced by XPCListener and XPCSession??

According to the following article, the CLCircularGeographicCondition has a limit whereby only 20 conditions can be monitored by any single app. Monitoring the user’s proximity to geographic regions While I understand the rationale behind this limit, 20 conditions seems quite low for some apps. It would be good if an app could request that the user opt-in to allowing more conditions if they understand the impact this might have on the battery etc. I'm migrating an app presently to use CLCircularGeographicCondition instead of the now deprecated CLCircularRegion. It would be good if there were more guidance on how to use the new Core Location API's to monitor how many conditions are in use within an app and how they can be deactivated when no longer required, allowing the app to free up more of the 20 conditions available.

When Call Blocking and Identification is enabled, information such as Caller Name, number and Call Identification Label is displayed correctly in the incoming call screen. But in Recents screen the call record is not displaying any name or number but instead displays only the Call Identification label that was passed in CXCallDirectoryProvider is displayed. Note: This issue is not observed when the call blocking and identification permission is not granted and the same code is working fine in iOS 17.x

Hi, In my app, I have an option to remove a contact from a contact group (using the Contacts framework), and it's been working fine till recently users of the macOS version reported that it's not working. I have been using the CNSaveRequest removeMember(contact, from: group) API. The same API works fine on iOS. I'm not sure when it started but it seems to be affecting macOS14.6 as well as 15.1. I was able to reproduce it in a small test project as well, and have the same experience (the API works on iOS but not on macOS), so it definitely seems like a problem with the framework. Can someone confirm this, and/or suggest a workaround? Here's the code I run to test it out ...a simple SwiftUI view that has 4 buttons: Create contact and group Add contact to group Remove contact from group (optional) cleanup by deleting contact and group It's the 3rd step that seems to fail on macOS, but works fine on iOS. Here's the code to test it out: struct ContentView: View { let contactsModel = ContactsStoreModel() var body: some View { VStack (alignment: .center, spacing: 15){ Button ("1. Add Contact And Group") { print("add contact button pressed") contactsModel.addTestContact() if let _ = contactsModel.createdContact { print("created contact success") } } Button ("2. Add Contact To Group") { print("add to group button pressed") contactsModel.addContactToGroup() } Button ("3. Remove Contact From Group") { print("remove from group button pressed") contactsModel.removeContactFromGroup() } Button ("4. Delete Contact and Group") { print("remove from group button pressed") contactsModel.deleteContactAndGroup() } } .padding() } } #Preview { ContentView() } @available(iOS 13.0, *) @objc final class ContactsStoreModel: NSObject, ObservableObject { let contactStore = CNContactStore() var createdContact : CNContact? var createdGroup : CNGroup? public func addTestContact() { let storeContainer = contactStore.defaultContainerIdentifier() let contact = CNMutableContact() contact.givenName = "Testing" contact.familyName = "User" contact.phoneNumbers = [CNLabeledValue(label: "Cell", value: CNPhoneNumber(stringValue: "1234567890"))] let group = CNMutableGroup() group.name = "Testing Group" print("create contact id = \(contact.identifier)") print("create group id = \(group.identifier)") do { let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest() saveRequest.transactionAuthor = "TestApp" saveRequest.add(contact, toContainerWithIdentifier: storeContainer) saveRequest.add(group, toContainerWithIdentifier: storeContainer) try contactStore.execute(saveRequest) createdContact = contact createdGroup = group } catch { print("error in store execute = \(error)") } } public func addContactToGroup() { if let contact = createdContact, let group = createdGroup { do { let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest() saveRequest.transactionAuthor = "TestApp" saveRequest.addMember(contact, to: group) try contactStore.execute(saveRequest) } catch { print("error in store execute = \(error)") } } } public func removeContactFromGroup() { if let contact = createdContact, let group = createdGroup { do { let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest() saveRequest.transactionAuthor = "TestApp" saveRequest.removeMember(contact, from: group) try contactStore.execute(saveRequest) } catch { print("error in store execute = \(error)") } } } public func addGroupAndContact() { let storeContainer = contactStore.defaultContainerIdentifier() let group = CNMutableGroup() group.name = "Test Group" print("create group id = \(group.identifier)") if let contact = createdContact { do { let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest() saveRequest.transactionAuthor = "TestApp" saveRequest.add(group, toContainerWithIdentifier: storeContainer) saveRequest.addMember(contact, to: group) try contactStore.execute(saveRequest) createdGroup = group } catch { print("error in store execute = \(error)") } } } public func deleteContactAndGroup() { if let contact = createdContact, let group = createdGroup { do { let mutableGroup = group.mutableCopy() as! CNMutableGroup let mutableContact = contact.mutableCopy() as! CNMutableContact let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest() saveRequest.transactionAuthor = "TestApp" saveRequest.delete(mutableContact) saveRequest.delete(mutableGroup) try contactStore.execute(saveRequest) } catch { print("error in deleting store execute = \(error)") } } } }

I would like to know whether and how people are getting the sandbox account > manage > clear purchase history feature to work. I clear purchase history (either on my device or at app store connect), and I delete my app from my device. I then run my app from Xcode on my device, and it detects at launch the existence of the purchase, and so I cannot test my purchase user interface. Does this thing actually work as advertised?

Hello, I have a some problem with background fetch. In my app I use background modes for fetch data and display on my home widget iPhone. Its working correct when I built app on my phone from Xcode but when I distribute my app on TestFlight my home widget not updating at all. Help me understand if this issue is only due to TestFlight resources, or should I try releasing the app and hope that it will work in the release version?

Anne has two phone numbers, work and personal. Beth saved both phone numbers for Anne under one contact profile. When Beth sends a text to Anne's work phone, it is received on Anne's personal phone instead. We have verified only one phone number is set up under Messages settings, signed out of messages, restarted the phones. Any other fixes or suggestions?

I'm working with the Screen Time API in iOS and have successfully implemented the following: Granted Screen Time Permission: The app asks for and obtains Screen Time permissions without any issues. Blocked Specific Apps: Using FamilyActivitySelection, I can block access to certain apps. Monitoring Device Activity: With DeviceActivityCenter().startMonitoring(), I’m able to successfully start monitoring. DeviceActivityCenter().startMonitoring(.myActivity, during: schedule) Now, I’m wondering if there’s a way to detect exactly which app the user opens, so I can fire an API from my own app based on that event. Is this kind of real-time app usage detection possible with the Screen Time API? If so, how might it be implemented?

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.

This message only to know your feeling on my project. Not to discuss what is feasible or not. Just on the interest of the functionality. I use 5 Focus profiles, Do Not Disturb, Holiday, Work, Personal and Sleep. I find that the native solutions for changing modes are not powerful enough. I'd like an app to configure automatically when each Focus profile should be activated. Eg : -Holiday : when holiday is found in my calendar -Work : when I'm not on holiday, when we are not on the weekend, and after 7ham but before 7pm. Personal : when I'm not on holiday when we are on the weekend of after 7pm -Dot Not Disturb: When I'm not in holiday, only on the working week when I have an event in my agenda with the status accepted". These are just some examples. the idea is that everything will be configurable. (my app is almost finished.) What do you think?

On apple dev site in the news section here you can find two announcements about their renewal of: USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate. Context: now, I have an app delivered via in-house distribution due to Apple developer Enterprise program. My app uses push notifications, but we are using auth tokens. Should I do something on the app? Should I advice backend colleague to check or do something server-side? below you can find the two announcements: sanbox link APNs Certificate Update Begins January 20, 2025 The Apple Push Notification service (APNs) will be updated with a new server certificate in sandbox on January 20, 2025. Update your application’s Trust Store to include the new server certificate: SHA-2 Root : USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate. and production link APNs Certificate Update Begins February 24, 2025 The Apple Push Notification service (APNs) will be updated with a new server certificate in production on February 24, 2025. Update your application’s Trust Store to include the new server certificate: SHA-2 Root : USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate.

hello, i'm not able to activate Live activities from app id configuration. Do i miss something ? thanks for your help

Is it possible to reset SwiftData to a state identical to that of a newly installed app? I have experienced some migration issues where, when I add a new model, I need to reinstall the entire application for the ModelContainer creation to work. Deleting all existing models does not seem to make any difference. A potential solution I currently have, which appears to work but feels quite hacky, is as follows: let _ = try! ModelContainer() modelContainer = try! ModelContainer(for: Student.self, ...) This seems to force out this error CoreData: error: Error: Persistent History (66) has to be truncated due to the following entities being removed: (...) which seems to reset SwiftData. Any other suggestions?
