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?

The update to IOS 18.1 broke my VPN app. It was still working with 18.0.1. First analysis indicates that packets are not received through packetflow. Postings like this also indicates that there has something changed about the routing: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/767315 So what is going on here? I am using the following NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings: static private func buildSettings() -> NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings { let settings = NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings(tunnelRemoteAddress: "127.0.0.1") let ipv4Settings = NEIPv4Settings(addresses: ["10.42.0.1"], subnetMasks: ["255.255.0.0"]) ipv4Settings.includedRoutes = [NEIPv4Route.default()] ipv4Settings.excludedRoutes = [] settings.ipv4Settings = ipv4Settings settings.mtu = 1500 let dnsSettings = NEDNSSettings(servers: ["10.42.0.1"]) settings.dnsSettings = dnsSettings let ipv6Settings = NEIPv6Settings.init(addresses: ["fdb2:d970:8536:8dc6:0000:0000:0000:0001"], networkPrefixLengths: [64]) ipv6Settings.includedRoutes = [NEIPv6Route.default()] settings.ipv6Settings = ipv6Settings return settings } Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does iOS Automatically Reconnect to Disconnected BLE Devices, or Is It App-Driven? I have a few questions regarding BLE device reconnections in iOS: When a BLE device gets disconnected, does iOS automatically attempt to reconnect to it, or is it the app’s responsibility to handle the reconnection logic? If the app doesn’t initiate a BLE scan, will the OS still attempt to reconnect to previously paired devices, or is manual intervention by the app necessary? What is the recommended approach to re-establish a BLE connection when: The app has been deleted. The BLE device remains connected in the iPhone's Bluetooth settings. The app is reinstalled later. Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

We want to ressolve dns for predefined sets of private app domains. We've added this rule: NENetworkRule(destinationHost: NWHostEndpoint(hostname: Private Domain1(example.com), port: 53), protocol: .UDP) As per apple documentation: A rule that matches all DNS queries/responses for hosts in the example.com domain. do you think it will work i.e it will forward DNS requests UDP flow to transparent provider in all the cases? or do you think the text is a bit misleading. it should instead say: "A rule that matches all DNS queries/responses for nameservers in the example.com domain"? This rule that look for port 53 of that domain only works if the system really asks a nameserver of that specific domain, right? So, what if a local DNS server or a different nameserver are taking care of the resolution?

I'm seeing behaviour that I'm struggling to work out when making GraphQL related network requests (these are POST requests). I note that QA1941 covers the "lost connection" errors that I see in my responses, but I'd like to understand more, because just retrying the connection without understanding why I need to seems problematic.

Our product (rockhawk.ca) uses the Multipeer Connectivity framework for peer-to-peer communication between multiple iOS/iPadOS devices. My understanding is that MC framework communicates via three methods: 1) infrastructure wifi (i.e. multiple iOS/iPadOS devices are connected to the same wifi network), 2) peer-to-peer wifi, or 3) Bluetooth. In my experience, I don't believe I've seen MC use Bluetooth. With wifi turned off on the devices, and Bluetooth turned on, no connection is established. With wifi on and Bluetooth off, MC works and I presume either infrastructure wifi (if available) or peer-to-peer wifi are used. I'm trying to overcome two issues: Over time (since iOS 9.x), the radio transmit strength for MC over peer-to-peer wifi has decreased to the point that range is unacceptable for our use case. We need at least 150 feet range. We would like to extend this support to watchOS and the MC framework is not available. Regarding #1, I'd like to confirm that if infrastructure wifi is available, MC uses it. If infrastructure wifi is not available, MC uses peer-to-peer wifi. If this is true, then we can assure our customers that if infrastructure wifi is available at the venue, then with all devices connected to it, range will be adequate. If infrastructure wifi is not available at the venue, perhaps a mobile wifi router (battery operated) could be set up, devices connected to it, then range would be adequate. We are about to test this. Reasonable? Can we be assured that if infrastructure wifi is available, MC uses it? Regarding #2, given we are targeting minimum watchOS 7.0, would the available networking APIs and frameworks be adequate to implement our own equivalent of the MC framework so our app on iOS/iPadOS and watchOS devices could communicate? How much work? Where would I start? I'm new to implementing networking but experienced in using the MC framework. I'm assuming that I would write the networking code to use infrastructure wifi to achieve acceptable range. Many thanks! Tim

I have two Dockkit anomolies to report. Hoping a DTS person has seen these and/or can comment. First, my setup: I am controlling the accessory by making repeated calls to set the angular velocity. And the first thing I do is make a call dockManager.setSystemTrackingEnabled(false) because I'm doing my own tracking. I would note that I tried calling track() on my own, with a bunch of observation rectangles (or even just one) but it didn't work well, even though I was calling at the correct rate. Instead, I measure the angular deviation to where I wish my camera was pointed, and set the angular velocity proportional to the error. First issue: in normal operation, the green tracking light is on, on the hardware (the Instaflow Pro 360 motorized dock). Squeezing the trigger toggles the green light on/off; only when the light is on will the dock accept my calls to set the angular velocity. Fine. But sometimes squeezing the trigger won't reactivate the green light. In this case, the ONLY thing that seems to work is switching to the Instaflow Pro 360 app, and activating the camera. Immediately the green light turns on, and I'm good (and can return to my own app, with the green light still on). So what hidden API call does Instaflow have, that I don't that can make this happen? Sure, it's their own app, but I imagine they don't have access to calls I don't, so how does their app manage to get the green light back on? It doesn't always happen. Would love to know how to snap out of this. Second issue: While I usually use rectangle from running the vision system to guide my camera position, sometimes I left the user directly control the angular "yaw" velocity (rotation around the vertical axis) directly (by issuing commands over the network). Sometimes, when the user sets a non-zero velocity, when they set a zero velocity a short time later, the camera doesn't immedately respond and stop. (It's not a network issue. I can verify the API sends a call to set the angular velocity to zero, and the camera keeps rotating for a good fraction of a second.) Most times the camera stops immediately, but sometimes it doesn't. Oddly, I never see this issue when letting the user set the angular velocity in the "pitch up/down" axis. Just the yaw axis. Anybody else seen this? I feel like it wasn't a problem till I got to iOS18 but I won't swear to it. Any advice/assistance/discussion greatly appreciated.

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

My application needs local network access. When it is started for the first time, the user gets a prompt to enable local network access (as expected). The application is then shown as enabled in Privacy & Security / Local Network and local network access is working. If macOS is then shutdown and restarted, local network access is blocked for the application even though it is still shown as enabled in Privacy & Security / Local Network. Local network access can be restored either by toggling permission off and on in Privacy & Security / Local Network or by disabling and enabling Wi-Fi. This behaviour is consistent on Sequoia 15.1. It happens sometimes on 15.0 and 15.0.1 but not every time. Is my application doing something wrong or is this a Sequoia issue? If it is a Sequoia issue, is there some change I can make to my application to work around it?

We have a user that's shared screenshots indicating that they're the recipient of a subscription to our app through Family Sharing, but when we look for the transaction in Transaction.currentEntitlements there's nothing there, even after calling AppStore.sync. Should we expect to see a transaction in current entitlements? How can we determine whether it's our bug or Apple's?
