question about App Store Server Notifications
I have 2 subscriptions, monthly and year first:DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_PREF + DOWNGRADE: Customer downgrades a subscription within the same subscription group; The current subscribe is year;if i change to month;when the subscribe year was expire,Automatic renewal will change to month second:DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_PREF+UPGRADE: Customer upgrades a subscription within the same subscription group. The current subscribe is month;if i change to year;I need to pay for the annual subscription immediately;and The subscription immediately switches to the annual third:DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_PREF subtype is None Customer reverts to the previous subscription, effectively canceling their downgrade. what this mean? This is Test Env,month is five minutes;year is one hour ①My current subscription is an annual, startTime:2024-10-02 15:04:58 ,expireTime:2024-10-02 16:04:58 ②first DOWNGRADE to month,at 2024-10-02 15:14:16 ②after 38 minutes,I change to the annual subscribe;at 2024-10-02 15:52:00 in the end,the Notification purchaseDate 2024-10-02 15:52:00;expiresDate 2024-10-02 16:52:00; So When I get NotificationType=DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_PREF,NotificationSubType=None,Do I need to create a new subscription for the users? Is it the latest notice of purchaseDate and expiresDate, for a year? The appleNotification Payload as follows: JWSTransactionDecodedPayload( originalTransactionId='2000000731045285', transactionId='2000000731088945', webOrderLineItemId='2000000076096676', bundleId='app.xxxx', productId='com.xxxx.365', subscriptionGroupIdentifier='21514251', purchaseDate=1727855520000, 2024-10-02 15:52:00 originalPurchaseDate=1727852699000, 2024-10-02 15:04:59 expiresDate=1727859120000, 2024-10-02 16:52:00 quantity=1, type=<Type.AUTO_RENEWABLE_SUBSCRIPTION: 'Auto-Renewable Subscription'>, rawType='Auto-Renewable Subscription', appAccountToken='fa37b7a2-2b0b-43cb-8fda-a1fb21168efe', inAppOwnershipType=<InAppOwnershipType.PURCHASED: 'PURCHASED'>, rawInAppOwnershipType='PURCHASED', signedDate=1727855526632, 2024-10-02 15:52:06 revocationReason=None, rawRevocationReason=None, revocationDate=None, isUpgraded=None, offerType=None, rawOfferType=None, offerIdentifier=None, environment=<Environment.SANDBOX: 'Sandbox'>, rawEnvironment='Sandbox', storefront='CAN', storefrontId='143455', transactionReason=<TransactionReason.PURCHASE: 'PURCHASE'>, rawTransactionReason='PURCHASE', currency='CAD', price=14990, offerDiscountType=None, rawOfferDiscountType=None) JWSRenewalInfoDecodedPayload( expirationIntent=None, rawExpirationIntent=None, originalTransactionId='2000000731045285', autoRenewProductId='com.xxxx.365', productId='com.xxxx.365', autoRenewStatus=<AutoRenewStatus.ON: 1>, rawAutoRenewStatus=1, isInBillingRetryPeriod=None, priceIncreaseStatus=None, rawPriceIncreaseStatus=None, gracePeriodExpiresDate=None, offerType=None, rawOfferType=None, offerIdentifier=None, signedDate=1727855526632, 2024-10-02 15:52:06 environment=<Environment.SANDBOX: 'Sandbox'>, rawEnvironment='Sandbox', recentSubscriptionStartDate=1727852698000, 2024-10-02 15:04:58 renewalDate=1727859120000, 2024-10-02 16:52:00 currency='CAD', renewalPrice=14990, offerDiscountType=None, rawOfferDiscountType=None, eligibleWinBackOfferIds=None)

Unable to Print or Scan to/from HP Pagewide Pro 477dw MFP
Upgraded my 2 machines to Sequoia 15 and consequently I am unable to print or scan with both machines. A 3rd machine which is not upgraded as yet is unaffected. AirPrint from iPhones is not affected. The printing process executes without error. The printer receives the job but does not actually execute the print. The machine behaves like the job in the queue is completed normally. No error message. Just no physical printout. Happens with all applications. When Scanning - fails to connect to device to enable scanning. error message after some time is attached

Optimize watchOS CMSensorDataList parsing
I am trying to parse CMSensorDataList in watchOS. The maximum batch of data is comprised of 30 minutes. The sampling rate is 50Hz, which makes it 90,000 records for 30 minutes. We iterate over each item and finally write the data to a CSV file. As this is a slow processing keeping in view the execution limits of watchOS, the process suspends when app goes to the background. This way, it takes too much time to parse a significant time data. My question is, is there a way we can serialize this CMSensorDataList as a whole and transfer it to the phone using WCSession? Or is there another effective way to achieve this?

SwiftData migration plan in app and widget
I have an app and widget that share access to a SwiftData container using App Groups. I have implemented a SwiftData migration plan, but I am unsure whether I should allow the widget to perform the migration (in addition to the app). I am concerned about two possible issues: If the app and widget are run at approximately the same time (e.g. the user taps Open after doing a manual update in the App Store), then both the app and widget might try to perform the migration at the same time, which could lead to race conditions / data corruption. If the widget is first to run but the widget gets suspended for some reasons (e.g., iOS decides it's using too many resources), then the migration might be suspended leaving the database in an corrupted state. To me, it feels like the safest option is to only allow the app itself to perform the migration – this will ensure that the migration can only happen once in a safe state. However, this will lead to problems for the widget. For example, if the user does not open the app for several days after an automatic update, the widget will be in a broken state, since it will not be able to open the container until it has been migrated by the app. Possible solutions I'm considering: Allow both the app and widget to perform the migration and cross my fingers. (Ignore Issue 1 and Issue 2) Implement some kind of UserDefaults flag that is set to true during migration, so that the app and widget will avoid performing the migration concurrently. (Solves Issue 1 but not Issue 2) Only perform the migration in the app, and then add code to the widget to detect which container version the widget has access to, so that the widget can continue to work with a v1 container until the app eventually updates it to a v2 container. (Solves Issue 1 and Issue 2, but leads to very convoluted code – especially over time) Things I'm unsure about: Will iOS continue to use v1 of the widget until the app is opened for the first time, at which point v2 of the widget is installed? Or does iOS immediately update the widget to v2 on update? Does iOS immediately refresh the widget timeline on update? Does SwiftData already have some logic to avoid migrations being performed twice, even from different threads? If so, how does it respond if one process tries to access a container while another process is performing a migration? Does anyone have any recommendations about how to handle these possible issues? What are best practices? Cheers!

Apple Pay Web Integration Without Third-Party Payment Processor in Laravel
Hello everyone, I'm working on integrating Apple Pay on the web for my Laravel-based website, aiming to offer a smooth payment experience directly on the site. I've carefully gone through the official Apple documentation and several third-party resources, and I've implemented the initial setup for Apple Pay Web. However, I've hit a roadblock regarding the payment token verification process. It appears that Apple Pay Web requires a third-party payment processor, such as Stripe or PayPal, to handle the verification of the payment token and complete the transaction. Unfortunately, I don't currently have an account with any of these services and would prefer to avoid relying on an external provider. I’m wondering if there's any alternative approach to achieve this integration without using a third-party service. Specifically, is there any way for Apple Pay to process payments directly through the website, similar to the "Tap to Pay" feature on iPhone? My goal is to enable a streamlined payment solution without needing a Stripe, PayPal, or similar account. Any insights, resources, or examples from anyone who's faced a similar scenario would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!

Apple Pay Merchant Token Usage
Hi. I have a few questions about using Apple's MPAN tokens. Since Apple doesn't provide MPAN tokens in the sandbox environment, I'm having trouble understanding the differences between the MPAN and DPAN flows. I'm guessing they're the exact same, except when we detect the MPAN we save some information so we can use it in future transactions. If that's correct, my questions are: What information in the Apple Pay payment data indicates that it's an MPAN vs when it falls back to DPAN Like DPAN, the MPAN can be found in applicationPrimaryAccountNumber? Or is it found in the merchantTokenIdentifier? What is the bare minimum data needs to be stored in order for these merchant tokens be reused for future transactions?

How to remove Subscription from Review
The guidance provided only explains how to remove the entire app from review, but not how to remove a single subscription. Currently, I have one incorrect subscription that has been rejected due to localisation issues, and it is stuck in the "In Review" status. Unfortunately, I am unable to make changes to it. The correct subscription is in the "Waiting for Review" status, and while I am able to remove it, there is no need to do so. What I would like to do is remove the previous, incorrect subscription.

CoreData/Database question
I am working on an app that will have about 200mb of data in a database. I would like to install a json file with 3-4 mb on the phone with the app, and then be able to send small packets of information to the user of the app as they are using the app, for example if they hit a button with a link to an instagram page, I can have the database/server send the link to the app, it will be just small bits of information going from the database to the phone, and perhaps I would do some location tracking and getting some information from the user to build up personal preferences etc. I'm wondering if coredata would be the best way to get smaller packets of information to the phone quickly or if I should think about firebase or something else. I was interested in using Cloudkit, but it seems like Cloudkit is really more about syncing devices and for getting information from the user to the database. It's been really hard to find any information about the strengths versus weaknesses of different databases and how they interact with mobile apps.

Local Network Privacy FAQ
IMPORTANT This FAQ has been replaced by TN3179 Understanding local network privacy. I’m leaving this post in place as a historical curiosity, but please consult the technote going forward. I regularly get asked questions about local network privacy. This is my attempt to collect together the answers for the benefit of all. Before you delve into the details, familiarise yourself with the basics by watching WWDC 2020 Session 10110 Support local network privacy in your app. Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@" + "apple.com" Local Network Privacy FAQ With local network privacy, any app that wants to interact with devices on your network must ask for permission the first time that it attempts that access. Local network privacy is implemented on iOS, iPadOS, visionOS, and macOS. It’s not implemented on other platforms, most notably tvOS. IMPORTANT macOS 15 (currently in beta) introduced local network privacy support to the Mac. WWDC 2024 Session 10123 What’s new in privacy is the official announcement. This works much like it does on iOS, but there are some subtle differences. I’ll update this FAQ as I gain more experience with this change. Some common questions about local network privacy are: FAQ-1 What is a local network? FAQ-2 What operations require local network access? FAQ-3 What operations require the multicast entitlement? FAQ-4 Do I need the multicast entitlement? FAQ-5 I’ve been granted the multicast entitlement; how do I enable it? FAQ-6 Can App Clips access the local network? FAQ-7 How does local network privacy work with app extensions? FAQ-8 How do I explicitly trigger the local network privacy alert? FAQ-9 How do I tell whether I’ve been granted local network access? FAQ-10 How do I use the unsatisfied reason property? FAQ-11 Do I need a local network usage description property? FAQ-12 Can I test on the simulator? FAQ-13 Once my app has displayed the local network privacy alert, how can I reset its state so that it shows again? FAQ-14 How do I map my Multipeer Connectivity service type to an entry in the Bonjour services property? FAQ-15 My app presents the local network privacy alert unexpectedly. Is there a way to track down the cause? FAQ-16 On a small fraction of devices my app fails to present the local network privacy alert. What’s going on? FAQ-17 Why does local network privacy get confused when I install two variants of my app? FAQ-18 Can my app trigger the local network privacy alert when the device is on WWAN? Revision History 2024-10-31 Added a link to this FAQ’s replacement, TN3179 Understanding local network privacy. 2024-07-22 Added a callout explaining that local network privacy is now an issue on macOS. 2023-10-31 Fixed a bug in the top-level FAQ that mistakenly removed some recent changes. Added FAQ-18. 2023-10-19 Added a preamble to clarify that local network privacy is only relevant on specific platforms. 2023-09-14 Added FAQ-17. 2023-08-29 Added FAQ-16. 2023-03-13 Added connecting a UDP socket to FAQ-2. 2022-10-04 Added screen shots to FAQ-11. 2022-09-22 Fixed the pointer from FAQ-9 to FAQ-10. 2022-09-19 Updated FAQ-3 to cover iOS 16 changes. Made other minor editorial changes. 2020-11-12 Made a minor tweak to FAQ-9. 2020-10-17 Added FAQ-15. Added a second suggestion to FAQ-13. 2020-10-16 First posted.

iCloud Health data not syncing to simulator
As the title says, I logged in to my simulator on my mac mini m2 and turned on icloud sync. My health data is in iCloud but it wont load in. When I go to documents for example I can see documents that I have loaded so I know something is working right. I have tried clicking Feature -> Trigger iCloud sync with no luck. The app I am building uses health data and there is no other way to get health data (heart rate, workouts, sleep) in the simulator. Please help

Apple Wallet Interference During NFC RFID Tag Writing with NFCISO14443ReaderSession
Hello, I am developing an application that involves writing data to RFID tags using NFC (ISO/IEC 14443A/B, Mifare, and FeliCa standards) for an electric vehicle charging station. However, I am consistently facing an issue where the Apple Wallet app is automatically triggered during NFC operations on iOS. This problem occurs every time I attempt to write data to the RFID tags, preventing the application from properly detecting or interacting with the NFC tags. Here are the key details of the issue: Device: iPhone (tested on various models and iOS versions) Issue: Apple Wallet automatically opens during NFC tag writing operations. Expected Behavior: My application should write data to RFID tags without triggering Apple Wallet. RFID Standards: ISO/IEC 14443A/B, Mifare, FeliCa. Code Implementation: I am using the Core NFC framework and NFCISO14443ReaderSession to communicate with the RFID tags. The same code works seamlessly with Android devices, but iOS continuously triggers the Wallet app. Here’s a brief code snippet that demonstrates the problem: import CoreNFC func startNFCSession() { let session = NFCISO14443ReaderSession(delegate: self, queue: nil, invalidateAfterFirstRead: false) session?.alertMessage = "Hold your iPhone near the NFC tag." session?.begin() } func readerSession(_ session: NFCISO14443ReaderSession, didDetect tags: [NFCISO14443Tag]) { guard let tag = tags.first else { return } session.connect(to: tag) { (error: Error?) in if let error = error { session.invalidate(errorMessage: "Connection failed: \(error.localizedDescription)") return } // Write data to the tag here // The Wallet app opens instead of allowing data writing. } } I've taken steps to ensure that I am not using NDEF tags, as I understand that may interfere with the Wallet functionality. Despite using the lower-level NFCISO14443ReaderSession API, the issue persists. I’ve also tried disabling all Wallet settings on the device, but the problem still occurs. Additionally, no such issues are experienced on Android devices with similar functionality, so it appears to be an iOS-specific problem. Is there a way to prevent Apple Wallet from being triggered when using Core NFC to interact with RFID tags? Any assistance or guidance on how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated, as this is a critical feature for the functionality of the electric vehicle charging station system we are building. Thank you in advance!
