Launch Host App from Share Extension
Hi! Could you please point me to the official documentation or recommended approach for launching the host app from a Share Extension? The scenario is: The user is sharing some text to my app. I need launch App and show this text. At the moment, I'm using the following hack: let selector = NSSelectorFromString("sharedApplication") if let app = UIApplication.perform(selector)?.takeUnretainedValue() as? UIApplication, app.responds(to: #selector(UIApplication.open(_:options:completionHandler:))) { app.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil) } This does work, but it's terrible. So, the question: What is the official way to open the host app from within a Share Extension? Thanks!

date(byAdding:value:to:options:) Method Behaves Strangely
Let’s try calculating one day after "2023/11/04 12:00 New York time". let timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "America/New_York")! var calendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian) calendar.timeZone = timeZone var dateFormatter = DateFormatter() dateFormatter.timeZone = timeZone dateFormatter.locale = .init(identifier: "ja_JP") dateFormatter.dateStyle = .short dateFormatter.timeStyle = .short var dateComponents = DateComponents() dateComponents.year = 2023 dateComponents.month = 11 dateComponents.day = 4 dateComponents.hour = 12 // At New York 2023/11/04 12:00 let date1 = calendar.date(from: dateComponents)! print(dateFormatter.string(from: date1)) // Add 1 day let date2 = calendar.date(byAdding: .day, value: 1, to: date1)! print(dateFormatter.string(from: date2))``` The output is: 2023/11/04 12:00 2023/11/05 12:00 Now, let’s try the following—also to get the time one day later: let date2 = calendar.date(byAdding: .minute, value: 24 * 60, to: date1)! print(dateFormatter.string(from: date2)) This outputs: 2023/11/04 12:00 2023/11/05 11:00 What's Causing This Difference? It’s likely due to Daylight Saving Time (DST). But why do we get different results between the first and second examples?

Access BSSID MacOS
I don't understand what permissions need to be given for this code to operate. I cannot seem to work out why I'm not able to see a BSSID. I think I've given sandbox the appropriate permissions AND I've added some to the Target Properties for good measure. Yet, cannot get BSSID. import SwiftUI import CoreWLAN import CoreLocation struct ContentView: View { @State private var currentBSSID: String = "Loading..." var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Current BSSID:") Text(currentBSSID) } .padding() .onAppear(perform: fetchBSSID) } func fetchBSSID() { if let iface2 = CWWiFiClient.shared().interface() { print("✅ Found Wi-Fi interface: \(iface2.interfaceName ?? "nil")") } else { print("❌ No Wi-Fi interface found") } if let iface = CWWiFiClient.shared().interface(), let bssid = iface.bssid() { currentBSSID = bssid } else { currentBSSID = "Not connected" print("✅ BSSID: \(currentBSSID)") } } } #Preview { ContentView() } Output - WifI interface is found but BSSID is not found.

Issue Integrating Apple Pay JS – `merchantSession` Blocke
Hello Apple Devs, We’re currently trying to integrate Apple Pay on the web using Apple Pay JS. We've followed the official documentation closely, but we're running into a blocker during the merchantSession validation phase. We successfully retrieved a merchantSession, which looks like this: json { "displayName": "Our Name", "domainName": "https://pay.ourdomain.co", "epochTimestamp": , "expiresAt": ****************, "merchantIdentifier": "", "merchantSessionIdentifier": ", "nonce": "", "operationalAnalyticsIdentifier": our name "t:", "pspId": "", "retries": 0, "signature": "*****************..." } Issue: Shortly after initiating the session, we receive a cancel event with the following info: ApplePayCancelEvent { type: "cancel", sessionError: { code: "unknown", info: {} } } We're unsure what causes the cancellation. There are no clear error messages or hints in the logs to identify what went wrong. What We’ve Checked: The merchantSession is returned successfully from our backend. The domainName matches our frontend domain (https://pay.durdomain.co). The session hasn’t expired when tested. We're using Apple Pay JS APIs as described in the documentation. Help Needed: What can trigger an ApplePayCancelEvent with an "unknown" error code? Any insight or guidance would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance!

SwiftData migration crashes when working with relationships
The following complex migration consistently crashes the app with the following error: SwiftData/PersistentModel.swift:726: Fatal error: What kind of backing data is this? SwiftData._KKMDBackingData<SwiftDataMigration.ItemSchemaV1.ItemList> My app relies on a complex migration that involves these optional 1 to n relationships. Theoretically I could not assign the relationships in the willMigrate block but afterwards I am not able to tell which list and items belonged together. Steps to reproduce: Run project Change typealias CurrentSchema to ItemSchemaV2 instead of ItemSchemaV1. Run project again -> App crashes My setup: Xcode Version 16.2 (16C5032a) MacOS Sequoia 15.4 iPhone 12 with 18.3.2 (22D82) Am I doing something wrong or did I stumble upon a bug?

SwiftData data crashes with @Relationship
I've noticed that SwiftData's @Relationship seems to potentially cause application crashes. The crash error is shown in the image. Since this crash appears to be random and I cannot reproduce it under specific circumstances, I can only temporarily highlight that this issue seems to exist. @Model final class TrainInfo { @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \StopStation.trainInfo) var stations: [StopStation]? } @Model final class StopStation { @Relationship var trainInfo: TrainInfo? } /// some View var origin: StopStationDisplayable? { if let train = train as? TrainInfo { return train.stations?.first(where: { $0.isOrigin }) ?? train.stations?.first(where: { $0.isStarting }) } return nil } // Some other function or property func someFunction() { if let origin, let destination { // Function implementation } }

Converting Payed App to Freemium
I just converted my App to Freemium, but the method is used to give user, that bought the App before it was free, access to the paid futures seems not to be working. I am getting the original Purchase Date from the AppTransaction (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/apptransaction/originalpurchasedate) and comparing that to a set date where the App Model changed. In Test Flight this is working without any Problems but on the Live System, users that have purchased the App do not get access! let shared = try await AppTransaction.refresh() if case .verified(let appTransaction) = shared { result(appTransaction.originalPurchaseDate.ISO8601Format()). } I am using flutter to develop the App and the result()... send the string back to the flutter side. Here is the code of the Flutter side: Future<void> restorePurchases() async { SubscriptionProvider().updatePayment(PurchaseStatus.pending); await InAppPurchase.instance.restorePurchases(); if (Platform.isIOS) { DateTime changedToFreemium = DateTime.utc(2025, 4, 7, 11, 0, 0); String? purchaseDateRaw = await IosFlutterChannel().getOriginalPurchaseDate(); if (kDebugMode) { print("Purchase Date Raw: $purchaseDateRaw"); } if (purchaseDateRaw != null) { DateTime purchaseDate = DateTime.parse(purchaseDateRaw); if (purchaseDate.isBefore(changedToFreemium)) { if (kDebugMode) { print("Restoring legacy purchases"); } SubscriptionProvider().update(true, SubscriptionStatus.active, SubscriptionType.fs_lifetime); } else { if (kDebugMode) { print("Not restoring legacy purchases"); } } } } SubscriptionProvider().updatePayment(PurchaseStatus.purchased); } Console Log when running in Test Environment: flutter: Purchase Date Raw: 2013-08-01T07:00:00Z flutter: Restoring legacy purchases Thanks!

Apple Pay - PKAddPaymentPassViewController doesn't show correct list of devices
Hi, We are trying to make the PKAddPaymentPassViewController to show the correct list of devices to where the pass can be added. We have analysed the documentation and we are using the PrimaryAccountIdentifier field which is the field that supposedly controls this behavior but the list of devices presented in the view controller always include one iPhone and one Apple Watch, regardless of where the card has been already added. We are initializing the PKAddPaymentPassRequestConfiguration object with: PKEncryptionScheme PrimaryAccountIdentifier CardholderName PrimaryAccountSuffix LocalizedDescription PaymentNetwork PrimaryAccountIdentifier CardholderName PrimaryAccountSuffix LocalizedDescription We have also verified the configuration in our payment pass processor and everything should be ok. We would like to have some help on achieving the desired flow for Apple Pay, which is to present the PKAddPaymentPassViewController with the correct list of available devices and not the full list. Thank you.

Improving And Scaling App Intent Support
Platform and Version iOS Development Environment: Xcode 16.2.0, macOS 15.3 Run-time Configuration: iOS 18.3, 17.x Description of Problem We have started migrating some of the app’s core functionality over to App Intents. Our first release of App Intent support focused on two settings a user can modify on their Bose products, Audio Modes and Immersive Audio, giving users the ability to modify these settings via Siri and shortcuts. The implementation uses two separate shortcuts for each setting type, with each shortcut supporting a single phrase for Siri each: “Change my Bose mode to ” and “Change my Bose immersive audio to ”. Each shortcut uses their own App Intent, and each App Intent has support for optionally providing both a product and a setting when performing the intent. Failing to provide a device, which happens when the intent is performed via Siri, simply auto selects a currently connected Bose product. Failing to provide a setting, like in cases where a user says “Change my Bose ” without providing a setting will simply have Siri confirm the setting the user wants to change before changing the setting. We are using AppEntity to identify a Bose product for both App Intents. Because the App Intent for the Audio Modes setting has a larger number of supported values (up to 15 maximum), we are also using AppEntity to identify these settings. We are using AppEnum to identify available settings for the Immersive Audio App Intent, as only 3 static values are supported. Our original implementation of App Intent support had quite a few phrases supported for each shortcut. We had explicit support for direct synonyms of the verb “Change” in other phrases, supporting words like “Switch” and “Set”. We also had support for words that are like the word “Change”, but not directly related, like the word “Toggle” for instance. We also had support for phrases with or without the setting in each phrase. However, early on we had a lot of trouble with phrase detection with Siri. Siri had a hard time identifying what shortcut was being requested, as well as not being able to identify what settings the user was providing for the setting parameter of each App Intent. While researching potential fixes for this issue, we found a response to a thread in the Apple forums (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/759909) that seemed to indicate that Siri phrase recognition was very much an aggregate process. With the total number of phrases supported combined with the available settings for each phrase further compounding the total number of phrases Siri needs to learn to recognize for each shortcut. So, to hopefully improve Siri phrase detection, we added logic to limit the amount of Audio Mode settings supported based on what Audio Modes the user had setup on their Bose products. But, more importantly, we limited the number of explicit phrases supported for each shortcut to just a single phrase. In our testing, not only did this improve phrase recognition, but support for synonyms like “Set” or “Switch” seemed to implicitly still be recognized by Siri. The issues we ran into with Siri phrase detection above has us a bit concerned about scaling App Intent support to other settings and features for our products in the future. Our app supports the ability to modify a large number of settings on their Bose products, with support constantly expanding to new products as they are released. Our roadmap for App Intent support was initially very ambitious, supporting much more than just the two settings mentioned above. But our initial experience with App Intents has us tapering our expectations a little bit as far as how much can be supported in total for App Intents. One thing we also noticed is less than optimal display of default shortcuts in the Shortcuts app. The default shortcuts appeared like so, with shortcuts displayed based on available settings fro each shortcut: However, we could not find a way to indicate to users that one particular section pertained specifically to the Audio Mode setting and the other to the Immersive Audio setting. The only information the user has to make this determination for themselves is the available settings (or shortcuts) for each. This may not be immediately clear to a new customer who might be using one of our products for the first time. This display of default shortcuts in the Shortcuts app has us wondering if our shortcuts implementation is what is intended as far as support for the Shortcuts app is concerned. We did survey default shortcuts displayed by other third-party applications and they mostly dealt with navigation with a single section containing default options clearly indicating where the user can navigate with a shortcut. We couldn’t find an example of an application supporting the ability to change different setting types, with each setting type having their own available values for each. So, to summarize the questions we have concerning App Intent support: What can we do with our App Intents and Shortcuts implementation to guarantee optimal performance with Siri? What is an ideal number of phrases to support for each Shortcut. What limitations should we be placing as far as the total number of available settings for each Shortcut. Are there phrases that might work better than others for what we’re trying to achieve with App Intent support? i.e. Is “Change my Bose mode” or “Change my Bose immersive audio” a good phrase to use for this kind of functionality? Or should we be using different verbs or wording? Assuming optimal support of each Shortcut above. What is a reasonable expectation as far as how many different supported shortcuts we can scale to support at the same time. One issue we ran into early on was Siri confusing one shortcut with the other and triggering the wrong App Intent at times. While this was ultimately resolved, this outcome seems much more likely the greater the number of individual shortcuts supported. Are there any recommendations on how to display these App Intents to customers as far as default shortcuts in the Shortcuts app is concerned? Is what we currently display for default shortcuts in the Shortcuts app what was initially intended for third party support for App Intents? If what we are currently displaying is expected, would it be possible to support the ability to provide additional context to each section of default shortcuts displayed? We would like to indicate to the user that one set of shortcuts pertains to the Audio Modes settings, and the other to Immersive Audio. Something along the lines of a section header like some of the first-party apps use. Are there any recommendations or tips for supporting App Intents, particularly phrases for Siri, in other languages?

Accuracy of IBI Values Measured by Apple Watch
I am currently developing an app that measures HRV to estimate stress levels. To align the values more closely with those from Galaxy devices, I decided not to use the heartRateVariabilitySDNN value provided by HealthKit. Instead, I extracted individual interbeat intervals (IBI) using the HKHeartBeatSeries data. Can I obtain accurate IBI data using this method? If not, I would like to know how I can retrieve more precise data. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is a sample code I tried. @Observable class HealthKitManager: ObservableObject { let healthStore = HKHealthStore() var ibiValues: [Double] = [] var isAuthorized = false func requestAuthorization() { let types = Set([ HKSeriesType.heartbeat(), HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .heartRateVariabilitySDNN)!, ]) healthStore.requestAuthorization(toShare: nil, read: types) { success, error in DispatchQueue.main.async { self.isAuthorized = success if success { self.fetchIBIData() } } } } func fetchIBIData() { var timePoints: [TimeInterval] = [] var absoluteStartTime: Date? let dateFormatter = DateFormatter() dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "Asia/Seoul") dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS" var calendar = Calendar.current calendar.timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "Asia/Seoul") ?? .current var components = DateComponents() components.year = 2025 components.month = 4 components.day = 3 components.hour = 15 components.minute = 52 components.second = 0 let startTime = calendar.date(from: components)! components.hour = 16 components.minute = 0 let endTime = calendar.date(from: components)! let predicate = HKQuery.predicateForSamples(withStart: startTime, end: endTime, options: .strictStartDate) let sortDescriptor = NSSortDescriptor(key: HKSampleSortIdentifierStartDate, ascending: false) let query = HKSampleQuery(sampleType: HKSeriesType.heartbeat(), predicate: predicate, limit: HKObjectQueryNoLimit, sortDescriptors: [sortDescriptor]) { (_, samples, _) in if let sample = samples?.first as? HKHeartbeatSeriesSample { absoluteStartTime = sample.startDate let startDateKST = dateFormatter.string(from: sample.startDate) let endDateKST = dateFormatter.string(from: sample.endDate) print("series start(KST):\(startDateKST)\tend(KST):\(endDateKST)") let seriesQuery = HKHeartbeatSeriesQuery(heartbeatSeries: sample) { query, timeSinceSeriesStart, precededByGap, done, error in if !precededByGap { timePoints.append(timeSinceSeriesStart) } if done { for i in 1..<timePoints.count { let ibi = (timePoints[i] - timePoints[i-1]) * 1000 // Convert to milliseconds // Calculate absolute time for current beat if let startTime = absoluteStartTime { let beatTime = startTime.addingTimeInterval(timePoints[i]) let beatTimeString = dateFormatter.string(from: beatTime) print("IBI: \(String(format: "%.2f", ibi)) ms at \(beatTimeString)") } self.ibiValues.append(ibi) } } } self.healthStore.execute(seriesQuery) } else { print("No samples found for the specified time range") } } self.healthStore.execute(query) } }

Guidance on Continuous Location & Direction Updates to watchOS App Without Screen Dimming
Dear Apple Developer Support, I am reaching out for guidance on implementing continuous directional and location updates in a watchOS app designed as part of a mapping/navigation solution. Current Scenario: We send continuous location and direction updates from our iOS app to the watchOS companion app. When viewing directions on the Apple Watch, the screen dims after a short period, and the live data stops updating consistently, even though the user is actively looking at the screen. This negatively impacts the usability of real-time navigation on watchOS. Our Objective: Prevent screen dimming (or extend screen-on time) while the user is viewing navigation directions. Ensure reliable, continuous data updates on the watch screen during active navigation sessions. Request: We would appreciate your guidance on: The recommended method to keep the watchOS screen active while displaying real-time navigation data. Proper use of APIs such as WKExtendedRuntimeSession, WorkoutSession, or any other mechanism suitable for this use case. Any best practices or App Store review considerations for apps that require extended screen time and continuous updates. How such use cases were traditionally handled on watchOS and what has or hasn’t worked. We want to ensure we're implementing this in a battery-efficient, user-respectful, and Apple-compliant manner. Thank you for your assistance and guidance.

Issues with Siri Shortcuts: Confirmation Prompt, Inconsistent Behavior
Hello Apple Developer Community, I’m working on integrating Siri into my React Native app using native iOS code and bridging to React Native. I’ve followed the necessary steps to set up Siri support, including: Adding the Siri capability. Adding Siri usage descriptions in Info.plist. Using AppIntent and AppShortcutsProvider to define shortcuts. However, I’m facing the following issues: Siri Prompts for Confirmation When a user says a phrase, Siri asks, "Turn on 'MyApp' shortcuts with Siri?" instead of directly recognizing the phrase. Is this expected behavior? If so, how can I reduce friction for users and make the experience more seamless? Inconsistent Behavior for Existing Users For users updating to a version with Siri support: When the app is closed, Siri says, "MyApp hasn't added support for that with Siri." When the app is open, Siri prompts, "Turn on shortcut for MyApp?" and rest all working fine Why does Siri not recognize the shortcut when the app is closed, even though the shortcut is defined in AppShortcutsProvider? How can I ensure that Siri recognizes the shortcut regardless of whether the app is open or closed? Other than using AppIntent and AppShortcutsProvider should i try Donating shortcuts(will that helps for updated user case). Please help me on this

WidgetKit And Picture rotation
I'm developing a widget with WidgetKit, and I'm having a problem: I need to click on an image, and when I click it triggers a network request, the image automatically rotates clockwise, and when the network ends, the image automatically stops rotating. How to do that? My current idea is to click on the image and await the call to the network request. Should Toggle be used for the control corresponding to the picture? Because Toggle has two states. Then there is how to do image rotation, did not find support API.

Issues with Opening iOS Settings from App
Hi there! We are working on our SkyElectric App which is being developed in Flutter framework, where we need user to connect with the Wifi of the the inverter. We are trying to direct user to WiFi Settings page of the iOS in general settings where all the available WiFi Networks are listed but unfortunately user is being directed to App's Settings page. We are using package of app_settings and launcher. I've read that Apple changed a policy in 2019 where it restricts Apps to navigate to OS pages. Question: Could you please verify if I APPLE allows us to access the General Settings or WiFi Settings through clicking a button in our App name "Open WiFi Settings", If not then Why?

how to register listener to `NWConnectionGroup` for QUIC
I am trying to make http3 client with Network.framework on Apple platforms. Codes that implement NWConnectionGroup.start with NWListener don't always work with warning below. I assume NWConnectionGroup.newConnectionHandler or NWListener.newConnectionHandler will be called to start connection from the server if it works. nw_protocol_instance_add_new_flow [C1.1.1:2] No listener registered, cannot accept new flow quic_stream_add_new_flow [C1.1.1:2] [-fde1594b83caa9b7] failed to create new stream for received stream id 3 so I tried: create the NWListener -> not work check whether NWConnectionGroup has a member to register or not NWListener -> not work (it doesn't have). use NWConnection instead of NWConnectionGroup -> not work Is my understanding correct? How should I do to set or associate listener with NWConnection/Group for newConnectionHandler is called and to delete wanings? What is the best practice in the case? Sample codes are below. Thanks in advance. // http3 needs unidirectional stream by the server and client. // listener private let _listener: NWListener let option: NWProtocolQUIC.Options = .init(alpn:["h3"]) let param: NWParameters = .init(quic: option) _listener = try! .init(using: param) _listener.stateUpdateHandler = { state in print("listener state: \(state)") } _listener.newConnectionHandler = { newConnection in print("new connection added") } _listener.serviceRegistrationUpdateHandler = { registrationState in print("connection registrationstate") } // create connection private let _group: NWConnectionGroup let options: NWProtocolQUIC.Options = .init(alpn: ["h3"]) options.direction = .unidirectional options.isDatagram = false options.maxDatagramFrameSize = 65535 sec_protocol_options_set_verify_block(options.securityProtocolOptions, {(_: sec_protocol_metadata_t, _: sec_trust_t, completion: @escaping sec_protocol_verify_complete_t) in print("cert completion.") completion(true) }, .global()) let params: NWParameters = .init(quic: options) let group: NWMultiplexGroup = .init( to: .hostPort(host: NWEndpoint.Host("google.com"), port: NWEndpoint.Port(String(443))!)) _group = .init(with: group, using: params) _group.setReceiveHandler {message,content,isComplete in print("receive: \(message)") } _group.newConnectionHandler = {newConnection in print("newConnectionHandler: \(newConnection.state)") } _group.stateUpdateHandler = { state in print("state: \(state)") } _group.start(queue: .global()) _listener.start(queue: .global()) if let conn = _group.extract() { let data: Data = .init() let _ = _group.reinsert(connection: conn) conn.send(content: data, completion: .idempotent) }

How to implement normal loading of web content when I intercept all request header information using the Swizzling method
I am developing a web application, I hope to be able to intercept all requests in the loaded web page, match the network request I want to specifically intercept the network request and then obtain the request header information (not the user's personal privacy data interception), if the use is the method of injection, the request header information is incomplete, such as the more important "content-type" field in the request header, so I try to use Swizzling method to intercept all http and https requests, and I can now intercept all the request information. But there is still a problem with my project, when loading x.com, logging in, appearing white screen after the successful landing, and not loading to the page after the successful landing, I don't know where the reason is。 Below is my core code implementation fragment. import WebKit // MARK: - WebViewController class WebViewController: UIViewController { fileprivate var webView: WKWebView! private var schemeHandler: WWKProxyWKURLSchemeHandler! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() Self.initSwizzling setupWebView() loadInitialContent() } private func setupWebView() { let config = WKWebViewConfiguration() schemeHandler = WWKProxyWKURLSchemeHandler() config.setURLSchemeHandler(self.schemeHandler, forURLScheme: "https") config.setURLSchemeHandler(self.schemeHandler, forURLScheme: "http") webView = WKWebView(frame: view.bounds, configuration: config) webView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight] view.addSubview(webView) } private func loadInitialContent() { if let url = URL(string: "https://x.com") { let request = URLRequest(url: url,cachePolicy:.reloadIgnoringLocalCacheData,timeoutInterval: 15) webView.load(request) } } func reloadWebView() { webView?.reloadFromOrigin() } } class WWKProxyWKURLSchemeHandler: NSObject, WKURLSchemeHandler { private let lock = NSLock() private var activeTasks = [ObjectIdentifier: URLSessionDataTask]() func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, start urlSchemeTask: WKURLSchemeTask) { lock.lock() defer { lock.unlock() } let taskID = ObjectIdentifier(urlSchemeTask) guard !activeTasks.keys.contains(taskID) else { print("⚠️ Task already started: \(urlSchemeTask.request.url?.absoluteString ??

Launch Host App from Share Extension
Hi! Could you please point me to the official documentation or recommended approach for launching the host app from a Share Extension? The scenario is: The user is sharing some text to my app. I need launch App and show this text. At the moment, I'm using the following hack: let selector = NSSelectorFromString("sharedApplication") if let app = UIApplication.perform(selector)?.takeUnretainedValue() as? UIApplication, app.responds(to: #selector(UIApplication.open(_:options:completionHandler:))) { app.open(url, options: [:], completionHandler: nil) } This does work, but it's terrible. So, the question: What is the official way to open the host app from within a Share Extension? Thanks!

date(byAdding:value:to:options:) Method Behaves Strangely
Let’s try calculating one day after "2023/11/04 12:00 New York time". let timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "America/New_York")! var calendar = Calendar(identifier: .gregorian) calendar.timeZone = timeZone var dateFormatter = DateFormatter() dateFormatter.timeZone = timeZone dateFormatter.locale = .init(identifier: "ja_JP") dateFormatter.dateStyle = .short dateFormatter.timeStyle = .short var dateComponents = DateComponents() dateComponents.year = 2023 dateComponents.month = 11 dateComponents.day = 4 dateComponents.hour = 12 // At New York 2023/11/04 12:00 let date1 = calendar.date(from: dateComponents)! print(dateFormatter.string(from: date1)) // Add 1 day let date2 = calendar.date(byAdding: .day, value: 1, to: date1)! print(dateFormatter.string(from: date2))``` The output is: 2023/11/04 12:00 2023/11/05 12:00 Now, let’s try the following—also to get the time one day later: let date2 = calendar.date(byAdding: .minute, value: 24 * 60, to: date1)! print(dateFormatter.string(from: date2)) This outputs: 2023/11/04 12:00 2023/11/05 11:00 What's Causing This Difference? It’s likely due to Daylight Saving Time (DST). But why do we get different results between the first and second examples?

Access BSSID MacOS
I don't understand what permissions need to be given for this code to operate. I cannot seem to work out why I'm not able to see a BSSID. I think I've given sandbox the appropriate permissions AND I've added some to the Target Properties for good measure. Yet, cannot get BSSID. import SwiftUI import CoreWLAN import CoreLocation struct ContentView: View { @State private var currentBSSID: String = "Loading..." var body: some View { VStack { Image(systemName: "globe") .imageScale(.large) .foregroundStyle(.tint) Text("Current BSSID:") Text(currentBSSID) } .padding() .onAppear(perform: fetchBSSID) } func fetchBSSID() { if let iface2 = CWWiFiClient.shared().interface() { print("✅ Found Wi-Fi interface: \(iface2.interfaceName ?? "nil")") } else { print("❌ No Wi-Fi interface found") } if let iface = CWWiFiClient.shared().interface(), let bssid = iface.bssid() { currentBSSID = bssid } else { currentBSSID = "Not connected" print("✅ BSSID: \(currentBSSID)") } } } #Preview { ContentView() } Output - WifI interface is found but BSSID is not found.

Issue Integrating Apple Pay JS – `merchantSession` Blocke
Hello Apple Devs, We’re currently trying to integrate Apple Pay on the web using Apple Pay JS. We've followed the official documentation closely, but we're running into a blocker during the merchantSession validation phase. We successfully retrieved a merchantSession, which looks like this: json { "displayName": "Our Name", "domainName": "https://pay.ourdomain.co", "epochTimestamp": , "expiresAt": ****************, "merchantIdentifier": "", "merchantSessionIdentifier": ", "nonce": "", "operationalAnalyticsIdentifier": our name "t:", "pspId": "", "retries": 0, "signature": "*****************..." } Issue: Shortly after initiating the session, we receive a cancel event with the following info: ApplePayCancelEvent { type: "cancel", sessionError: { code: "unknown", info: {} } } We're unsure what causes the cancellation. There are no clear error messages or hints in the logs to identify what went wrong. What We’ve Checked: The merchantSession is returned successfully from our backend. The domainName matches our frontend domain (https://pay.durdomain.co). The session hasn’t expired when tested. We're using Apple Pay JS APIs as described in the documentation. Help Needed: What can trigger an ApplePayCancelEvent with an "unknown" error code? Any insight or guidance would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance!

SwiftData migration crashes when working with relationships
The following complex migration consistently crashes the app with the following error: SwiftData/PersistentModel.swift:726: Fatal error: What kind of backing data is this? SwiftData._KKMDBackingData<SwiftDataMigration.ItemSchemaV1.ItemList> My app relies on a complex migration that involves these optional 1 to n relationships. Theoretically I could not assign the relationships in the willMigrate block but afterwards I am not able to tell which list and items belonged together.

SwiftData data crashes with @Relationship
I've noticed that SwiftData's @Relationship seems to potentially cause application crashes. The crash error is shown in the image. Since this crash appears to be random and I cannot reproduce it under specific circumstances, I can only temporarily highlight that this issue seems to exist. @Model final class TrainInfo { @Relationship(deleteRule: .cascade, inverse: \StopStation.trainInfo) var stations: [StopStation]? } @Model final class StopStation { @Relationship var trainInfo: TrainInfo? } /// some View var origin: StopStationDisplayable? { if let train = train as? TrainInfo { return train.stations?.first(where: { $0.isOrigin }) ?? train.stations?.first(where: { $0.isStarting }) } return nil } // Some other function or property func someFunction() { if let origin, let destination { // Function implementation } }

Converting Payed App to Freemium
I just converted my App to Freemium, but the method is used to give user, that bought the App before it was free, access to the paid futures seems not to be working. I am getting the original Purchase Date from the AppTransaction (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/apptransaction/originalpurchasedate) and comparing that to a set date where the App Model changed. In Test Flight this is working without any Problems but on the Live System, users that have purchased the App do not get access! let shared = try await AppTransaction.refresh() if case .verified(let appTransaction) = shared { result(appTransaction.originalPurchaseDate.ISO8601Format()). } I am using flutter to develop the App and the result()... send the string back to the flutter side. Here is the code of the Flutter side: Future<void> restorePurchases() async { SubscriptionProvider().updatePayment(PurchaseStatus.pending); await InAppPurchase.instance.restorePurchases(); if (Platform.isIOS) { DateTime changedToFreemium = DateTime.utc(2025, 4, 7, 11, 0, 0); String? purchaseDateRaw = await IosFlutterChannel().getOriginalPurchaseDate(); if (kDebugMode) { print("Purchase Date Raw: $purchaseDateRaw"); } if (purchaseDateRaw != null) { DateTime purchaseDate = DateTime.parse(purchaseDateRaw); if (purchaseDate.isBefore(changedToFreemium)) { if (kDebugMode) { print("Restoring legacy purchases"); } SubscriptionProvider().update(true, SubscriptionStatus.active, SubscriptionType.fs_lifetime); } else { if (kDebugMode) { print("Not restoring legacy purchases"); } } } } SubscriptionProvider().updatePayment(PurchaseStatus.purchased); } Console Log when running in Test Environment: flutter: Purchase Date Raw: 2013-08-01T07:00:00Z flutter: Restoring legacy purchases Thanks!

Apple Pay - PKAddPaymentPassViewController doesn't show correct list of devices
Hi, We are trying to make the PKAddPaymentPassViewController to show the correct list of devices to where the pass can be added. We have analysed the documentation and we are using the PrimaryAccountIdentifier field which is the field that supposedly controls this behavior but the list of devices presented in the view controller always include one iPhone and one Apple Watch, regardless of where the card has been already added. We are initializing the PKAddPaymentPassRequestConfiguration object with: PKEncryptionScheme PrimaryAccountIdentifier CardholderName PrimaryAccountSuffix LocalizedDescription PaymentNetwork PrimaryAccountIdentifier CardholderName PrimaryAccountSuffix LocalizedDescription We have also verified the configuration in our payment pass processor and everything should be ok. We would like to have some help on achieving the desired flow for Apple Pay, which is to present the PKAddPaymentPassViewController with the correct list of available devices and not the full list. Thank you.

Improving And Scaling App Intent Support
Platform and Version iOS Development Environment: Xcode 16.2.0, macOS 15.3 Run-time Configuration: iOS 18.3, 17.x Description of Problem We have started migrating some of the app’s core functionality over to App Intents. Our first release of App Intent support focused on two settings a user can modify on their Bose products, Audio Modes and Immersive Audio, giving users the ability to modify these settings via Siri and shortcuts. The implementation uses two separate shortcuts for each setting type, with each shortcut supporting a single phrase for Siri each: “Change my Bose mode to ” and “Change my Bose immersive audio to ”. Each shortcut uses their own App Intent, and each App Intent has support for optionally providing both a product and a setting when performing the intent. Failing to provide a device, which happens when the intent is performed via Siri, simply auto selects a currently connected Bose product. Failing to provide a setting, like in cases where a user says “Change my Bose ” without providing a setting will simply have Siri confirm the setting the user wants to change before changing the setting. We are using AppEntity to identify a Bose product for both App Intents. Because the App Intent for the Audio Modes setting has a larger number of supported values (up to 15 maximum), we are also using AppEntity to identify these settings. We are using AppEnum to identify available settings for the Immersive Audio App Intent, as only 3 static values are supported. Our original implementation of App Intent support had quite a few phrases supported for each shortcut. We had explicit support for direct synonyms of the verb “Change” in other phrases, supporting words like “Switch” and “Set”. We also had support for words that are like the word “Change”, but not directly related, like the word “Toggle” for instance. We also had support for phrases with or without the setting in each phrase. However, early on we had a lot of trouble with phrase detection with Siri. Siri had a hard time identifying what shortcut was being requested, as well as not being able to identify what settings the user was providing for the setting parameter of each App Intent. While researching potential fixes for this issue, we found a response to a thread in the Apple forums (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/759909) that seemed to indicate that Siri phrase recognition was very much an aggregate process. With the total number of phrases supported combined with the available settings for each phrase further compounding the total number of phrases Siri needs to learn to recognize for each shortcut. So, to hopefully improve Siri phrase detection, we added logic to limit the amount of Audio Mode settings supported based on what Audio Modes the user had setup on their Bose products. But, more importantly, we limited the number of explicit phrases supported for each shortcut to just a single phrase. In our testing, not only did this improve phrase recognition, but support for synonyms like “Set” or “Switch” seemed to implicitly still be recognized by Siri. The issues we ran into with Siri phrase detection above has us a bit concerned about scaling App Intent support to other settings and features for our products in the future. Our app supports the ability to modify a large number of settings on their Bose products, with support constantly expanding to new products as they are released. Our roadmap for App Intent support was initially very ambitious, supporting much more than just the two settings mentioned above. But our initial experience with App Intents has us tapering our expectations a little bit as far as how much can be supported in total for App Intents. One thing we also noticed is less than optimal display of default shortcuts in the Shortcuts app. The default shortcuts appeared like so, with shortcuts displayed based on available settings fro each shortcut: However, we could not find a way to indicate to users that one particular section pertained specifically to the Audio Mode setting and the other to the Immersive Audio setting. The only information the user has to make this determination for themselves is the available settings (or shortcuts) for each. This may not be immediately clear to a new customer who might be using one of our products for the first time. This display of default shortcuts in the Shortcuts app has us wondering if our shortcuts implementation is what is intended as far as support for the Shortcuts app is concerned. We did survey default shortcuts displayed by other third-party applications and they mostly dealt with navigation with a single section containing default options clearly indicating where the user can navigate with a shortcut. We couldn’t find an example of an application supporting the ability to change different setting types, with each setting type having their own available values for each. So, to summarize the questions we have concerning App Intent support: What can we do with our App Intents and Shortcuts implementation to guarantee optimal performance with Siri? What is an ideal number of phrases to support for each Shortcut. What limitations should we be placing as far as the total number of available settings for each Shortcut. Are there phrases that might work better than others for what we’re trying to achieve with App Intent support? i.e. Is “Change my Bose mode” or “Change my Bose immersive audio” a good phrase to use for this kind of functionality? Or should we be using different verbs or wording? Assuming optimal support of each Shortcut above. What is a reasonable expectation as far as how many different supported shortcuts we can scale to support at the same time. One issue we ran into early on was Siri confusing one shortcut with the other and triggering the wrong App Intent at times. While this was ultimately resolved, this outcome seems much more likely the greater the number of individual shortcuts supported. Are there any recommendations on how to display these App Intents to customers as far as default shortcuts in the Shortcuts app is concerned? Is what we currently display for default shortcuts in the Shortcuts app what was initially intended for third party support for App Intents? If what we are currently displaying is expected, would it be possible to support the ability to provide additional context to each section of default shortcuts displayed? We would like to indicate to the user that one set of shortcuts pertains to the Audio Modes settings, and the other to Immersive Audio. Something along the lines of a section header like some of the first-party apps use. Are there any recommendations or tips for supporting App Intents, particularly phrases for Siri, in other languages?

Accuracy of IBI Values Measured by Apple Watch
I am currently developing an app that measures HRV to estimate stress levels. To align the values more closely with those from Galaxy devices, I decided not to use the heartRateVariabilitySDNN value provided by HealthKit. Instead, I extracted individual interbeat intervals (IBI) using the HKHeartBeatSeries data. Can I obtain accurate IBI data using this method? If not, I would like to know how I can retrieve more precise data. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is a sample code I tried. @Observable class HealthKitManager: ObservableObject { let healthStore = HKHealthStore() var ibiValues: [Double] = [] var isAuthorized = false func requestAuthorization() { let types = Set([ HKSeriesType.heartbeat(), HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .heartRateVariabilitySDNN)!, ]) healthStore.requestAuthorization(toShare: nil, read: types) { success, error in DispatchQueue.main.async { self.isAuthorized = success if success { self.fetchIBIData() } } } } func fetchIBIData() { var timePoints: [TimeInterval] = [] var absoluteStartTime: Date? let dateFormatter = DateFormatter() dateFormatter.timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "Asia/Seoul") dateFormatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS" var calendar = Calendar.current calendar.timeZone = TimeZone(identifier: "Asia/Seoul") ?? .current var components = DateComponents() components.year = 2025 components.month = 4 components.day = 3 components.hour = 15 components.minute = 52 components.second = 0 let startTime = calendar.date(from: components)! components.hour = 16 components.minute = 0 let endTime = calendar.date(from: components)! let predicate = HKQuery.predicateForSamples(withStart: startTime, end: endTime, options: .strictStartDate) let sortDescriptor = NSSortDescriptor(key: HKSampleSortIdentifierStartDate, ascending: false) let query = HKSampleQuery(sampleType: HKSeriesType.heartbeat(), predicate: predicate, limit: HKObjectQueryNoLimit, sortDescriptors: [sortDescriptor]) { (_, samples, _) in if let sample = samples?.first as? HKHeartbeatSeriesSample { absoluteStartTime = sample.startDate let startDateKST = dateFormatter.string(from: sample.startDate) let endDateKST = dateFormatter.string(from: sample.endDate) print("series start(KST):\(startDateKST)\tend(KST):\(endDateKST)") let seriesQuery = HKHeartbeatSeriesQuery(heartbeatSeries: sample) { query, timeSinceSeriesStart, precededByGap, done, error in if !precededByGap { timePoints.append(timeSinceSeriesStart) } if done { for i in 1..<timePoints.count { let ibi = (timePoints[i] - timePoints[i-1]) * 1000 // Convert to milliseconds // Calculate absolute time for current beat if let startTime = absoluteStartTime { let beatTime = startTime.addingTimeInterval(timePoints[i]) let beatTimeString = dateFormatter.string(from: beatTime) print("IBI: \(String(format: "%.2f", ibi)) ms at \(beatTimeString)") } self.ibiValues.append(ibi) } } } self.healthStore.execute(seriesQuery) } else { print("No samples found for the specified time range") } } self.healthStore.execute(query) } }

Guidance on Continuous Location & Direction Updates to watchOS App Without Screen Dimming
Dear Apple Developer Support, I am reaching out for guidance on implementing continuous directional and location updates in a watchOS app designed as part of a mapping/navigation solution. Current Scenario: We send continuous location and direction updates from our iOS app to the watchOS companion app. When viewing directions on the Apple Watch, the screen dims after a short period, and the live data stops updating consistently, even though the user is actively looking at the screen. This negatively impacts the usability of real-time navigation on watchOS. Our Objective: Prevent screen dimming (or extend screen-on time) while the user is viewing navigation directions. Ensure reliable, continuous data updates on the watch screen during active navigation sessions. Request: We would appreciate your guidance on: The recommended method to keep the watchOS screen active while displaying real-time navigation data. Proper use of APIs such as WKExtendedRuntimeSession, WorkoutSession, or any other mechanism suitable for this use case. Any best practices or App Store review considerations for apps that require extended screen time and continuous updates. How such use cases were traditionally handled on watchOS and what has or hasn’t worked. We want to ensure we're implementing this in a battery-efficient, user-respectful, and Apple-compliant manner. Thank you for your assistance and guidance.

Issues with Siri Shortcuts: Confirmation Prompt, Inconsistent Behavior
Hello Apple Developer Community, I’m working on integrating Siri into my React Native app using native iOS code and bridging to React Native. I’ve followed the necessary steps to set up Siri support, including: Adding the Siri capability. Adding Siri usage descriptions in Info.plist. Using AppIntent and AppShortcutsProvider to define shortcuts. However, I’m facing the following issues: Siri Prompts for Confirmation When a user says a phrase, Siri asks, "Turn on 'MyApp' shortcuts with Siri?" instead of directly recognizing the phrase. Is this expected behavior? If so, how can I reduce friction for users and make the experience more seamless? Inconsistent Behavior for Existing Users For users updating to a version with Siri support: When the app is closed, Siri says, "MyApp hasn't added support for that with Siri." When the app is open, Siri prompts, "Turn on shortcut for MyApp?" and rest all working fine Why does Siri not recognize the shortcut when the app is closed, even though the shortcut is defined in AppShortcutsProvider? How can I ensure that Siri recognizes the shortcut regardless of whether the app is open or closed? Other than using AppIntent and AppShortcutsProvider should i try Donating shortcuts(will that helps for updated user case). Please help me on this

I'm developing a widget with WidgetKit, and I'm having a problem: I need to click on an image, and when I click it triggers a network request, the image automatically rotates clockwise, and when the network ends, the image automatically stops rotating. How to do that? My current idea is to click on the image and await the call to the network request. Should Toggle be used for the control corresponding to the picture? Because Toggle has two states. Then there is how to do image rotation, did not find support API.

can bluetooth peripheral device maintain connection when app is killed?
Is there a way for the bluetooth peripheral device to remain connected to iOS even after the app which was used to pair with it has been swipe killed by the user? I have - enabled Background Modes (Uses Bluetooth LE Accessory) given all the relevant permissions (Background refresh) implemented state preservation and restoration. properly handled Connection Events with proper options (CBConnectPeripheralOptionNotifyOnConnectionKey and CBConnectPeripheralOptionNotifyOnDisconnectionKey) e.g Fitbit shows as connected in bluetooth settings even after the app has been swipe killed by the user.

NSPasteboard in System Extension
I am trying to access clipboard via NSPasteboard API from a System Extension. However, all of its get methods return empty arrays and nil objects. Is that expected? Is there some permission or entitlement required for a System Extension to access clipboard?

Issues with Opening iOS Settings from App
Hi there! We are working on our SkyElectric App which is being developed in Flutter framework, where we need user to connect with the Wifi of the the inverter. We are trying to direct user to WiFi Settings page of the iOS in general settings where all the available WiFi Networks are listed but unfortunately user is being directed to App's Settings page. We are using package of app_settings and launcher. I've read that Apple changed a policy in 2019 where it restricts Apps to navigate to OS pages. Question: Could you please verify if I APPLE allows us to access the General Settings or WiFi Settings through clicking a button in our App name "Open WiFi Settings", If not then Why?

how to register listener to `NWConnectionGroup` for QUIC
I am trying to make http3 client with Network.framework on Apple platforms. Codes that implement NWConnectionGroup.start with NWListener don't always work with warning below. I assume NWConnectionGroup.newConnectionHandler or NWListener.newConnectionHandler will be called to start connection from the server if it works. nw_protocol_instance_add_new_flow [C1.1.1:2] No listener registered, cannot accept new flow quic_stream_add_new_flow [C1.1.1:2] [-fde1594b83caa9b7] failed to create new stream for received stream id 3 so I tried: create the NWListener -> not work check whether NWConnectionGroup has a member to register or not NWListener -> not work (it doesn't have). use NWConnection instead of NWConnectionGroup -> not work Is my understanding correct? How should I do to set or associate listener with NWConnection/Group for newConnectionHandler is called and to delete wanings? What is the best practice in the case? Sample codes are below. Thanks in advance. // http3 needs unidirectional stream by the server and client. // listener private let _listener: NWListener let option: NWProtocolQUIC.Options = .init(alpn:["h3"]) let param: NWParameters = .init(quic: option) _listener = try! .init(using: param) _listener.stateUpdateHandler = { state in print("listener state: \(state)") } _listener.newConnectionHandler = { newConnection in print("new connection added") } _listener.serviceRegistrationUpdateHandler = { registrationState in print("connection registrationstate") } // create connection private let _group: NWConnectionGroup let options: NWProtocolQUIC.Options = .init(alpn: ["h3"]) options.direction = .unidirectional options.isDatagram = false options.maxDatagramFrameSize = 65535 sec_protocol_options_set_verify_block(options.securityProtocolOptions, {(_: sec_protocol_metadata_t, _: sec_trust_t, completion: @escaping sec_protocol_verify_complete_t) in print("cert completion.") completion(true) }, .global()) let params: NWParameters = .init(quic: options) let group: NWMultiplexGroup = .init( to: .hostPort(host: NWEndpoint.Host("google.com"), port: NWEndpoint.Port(String(443))!)) _group = .init(with: group, using: params) _group.setReceiveHandler {message,content,isComplete in print("receive: \(message)") } _group.newConnectionHandler = {newConnection in print("newConnectionHandler: \(newConnection.state)") } _group.stateUpdateHandler = { state in print("state: \(state)") } _group.start(queue: .global()) _listener.start(queue: .global()) if let conn = _group.extract() { let data: Data = .init() let _ = _group.reinsert(connection: conn) conn.send(content: data, completion: .idempotent) }

How to implement normal loading of web content when I intercept all request header information using the Swizzling method
I am developing a web application, I hope to be able to intercept all requests in the loaded web page, match the network request I want to specifically intercept the network request and then obtain the request header information (not the user's personal privacy data interception), if the use is the method of injection, the request header information is incomplete, such as the more important "content-type" field in the request header, so I try to use Swizzling method to intercept all http and https requests, and I can now intercept all the request information. But there is still a problem with my project, when loading x.com, logging in, appearing white screen after the successful landing, and not loading to the page after the successful landing, I don't know where the reason is。 Below is my core code implementation fragment. import WebKit // MARK: - WebViewController class WebViewController: UIViewController { fileprivate var webView: WKWebView! private var schemeHandler: WWKProxyWKURLSchemeHandler! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() Self.initSwizzling setupWebView() loadInitialContent() } private func setupWebView() { let config = WKWebViewConfiguration() schemeHandler = WWKProxyWKURLSchemeHandler() config.setURLSchemeHandler(self.schemeHandler, forURLScheme: "https") config.setURLSchemeHandler(self.schemeHandler, forURLScheme: "http") webView = WKWebView(frame: view.bounds, configuration: config) webView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight] view.addSubview(webView) } private func loadInitialContent() { if let url = URL(string: "https://x.com") { let request = URLRequest(url: url,cachePolicy:.reloadIgnoringLocalCacheData,timeoutInterval: 15) webView.load(request) } } func reloadWebView() { webView?.reloadFromOrigin() } } class WWKProxyWKURLSchemeHandler: NSObject, WKURLSchemeHandler { private let lock = NSLock() private var activeTasks = [ObjectIdentifier: URLSessionDataTask]() func webView(_ webView: WKWebView, start urlSchemeTask: WKURLSchemeTask) { lock.lock() defer { lock.unlock() } let taskID = ObjectIdentifier(urlSchemeTask) guard !activeTasks.keys.contains(taskID) else { print("⚠️ Task already started: \(urlSchemeTask.request.url?.absoluteString ??
