Hi I have a question about In app Provisioning for Apple Pay. I'm a developer in company which makes application for one of banks. They want to have ability to add cards to Wallet by their app not by Wallet application. I know which functions and documentation i need to use but I have a problem with testing it. We are third party developer, have seperate teams, bank also has 3 apps for their testing environments. Bank sign agreements with Apple so they could have entitlements to check integration. And that is a question. Is there any change to check our implementation before checking it in production app? I've seen sandbox account feature: https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/sandbox-testing/ but I can' open In App provisioning window without entitlements. In Apple documentation we have statement that Apple is giving this entitlement only for production applications. So how to test it and check implementation before getting to production or without "mocking" application as production (changing id).

I have been working on a multi-platform multi-touch HID-standard digitizer clickpad device. The device uses Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) as its connectivity transport and advertises HID over GATT. To date, I have the device working successfully on Windows 11 as a multi-touch, gesture-capable click pad with no custom driver or app on Windows. However, I have been having difficulty getting macOS to recognize and react to it as a HID-standard multi-touch click pad digitizer with either the standard Apple HID driver (AppleUserHIDEventDriver) or with a custom-coded driver extension (DEXT) modeled, based on the DTS stylus example and looking at the IOHIDFamily open source driver(s). The trackpad works with full-gesture support on Windows 11 and the descriptors seem to be compliant with the R23 Accessory Guidelines document, §15. With the standard, matching Apple AppleUserHIDEventDriver HID driver, when enumerating using stock-standard HID mouse descriptors, the device works fine on macOS 14.7 "Sonoma" as a relative pointer device with scroll wheel capability (two finger swipe generates a HID scroll report) and a single button. With the standard, matching Apple AppleUserHIDEventDriver HID driver, when enumerating using stock-standard HID digitizer click/touch pad descriptors (those same descriptors used successfully on Windows 11), the device does nothing. No button, no cursor, no gestures, nothing. Looking at ioreg -filtb, all of the key/value pairs for the driver match look correct. Because, even with the Apple open source IOHIDFamily drivers noted above, we could get little visibility into what might be going wrong, I wrote a custom DriverKit/HIDDriverKit driver extension (DEXT) (as noted above, based on the DTS HID stylus example and the open source IOHIDEventDriver. With that custom driver, I can get a single button click from the click pad to work by dispatching button events to dispatchRelativePointerEvent; however, when parsing, processing, and dispatching HID digitizer touch finger (that is, transducer) events via IOUserHIDEventService::dispatchDigitizerTouchEvent, nothing happens. If I log with: % sudo log stream --info --debug --predicate '(subsystem == "com.apple.iohid")' either using the standard AppleUserHIDEventDriver driver or our custom driver, we can see that our input events are tickling the IOHIDNXEventTranslatorSessionFilter HID event filter, so we know HID events are getting from the device into the macOS HID stack. This was further confirmed with the DTS Bluetooth PacketLogger app. Based on these events flowing in and hitting IOHIDNXEventTranslatorSessionFilter, using the standard AppleUserHIDEventDriver driver or our custom driver, clicks or click pad activity will either wake the display or system from sleep and activity will keep the display or system from going to sleep. In short, whether with the stock driver or our custom driver, HID input reports come in over Bluetooth and get processed successfully; however, nothing happens—no pointer movement or gesture recognition. STEPS TO REPRODUCE For the standard AppleUserHIDEventDriver: Pair the device with macOS 14.7 "Sonoma" using the Bluetooth menu. Confirm that it is paired / bonded / connected in the Bluetooth menu. Attempt to click or move one or more fingers on the touchpad surface. Nothing happens. For the our custom driver: Pair the device with macOS 14.7 "Sonoma" using the Bluetooth menu. Confirm that it is paired / bonded / connected in the Bluetooth menu. Attempt to click or move one or more fingers on the touchpad surface. Clicks are correctly registered. With transducer movement, regardless of the number of fingers, nothing happens.

I started with the custom workout example from Apple. I was able to load the apps from my mac (xcode) to my iphone. I can run the apps on my iphone. I completed the authorization and reviewed the workout. I then uploaded the workout to the watch and it appeared to work. It never showed up on the watch. I tried restarting the watch and iPhone. I have. a second watch and I tried that. Nothing helped. IPhone 14 with ios 18.2. Watch is Series 6 with watch OS 11.2. I also tried it with the watch on the charger but no change. Workout Kit seems like a good idea, but not if you cannot get it on your watch. It seems very few people are using it as there is little info online.

Can I integrate Timer along with liveUpdates(_:) in order to manipulate the frequency. Let say for example I need the user location ever 1 min. Is it possible to do so?

I'm developing a Raycast extension that using Apple MusicKit API, is it safe to store developer tokens in Raycast extensions?

Hello, Apple developers. I have joined the MFi certification program. My Accessory to use USB HID IAP2 communication protocol and IOS devices connected, but in the first step, the Accessory to send the following data (0 XFF, 0 x55, 0 x02, 0 x00 to 0 xee, 0 x10) for IOS devices, but the IOS devices have no response, this is probably the reason why?

I am developing a USB networking accessory using the CDC ECM or NCM protocol and I would like to know what are the MacOS and iPadOS requirements to connect to such a device. I have a prototype CDC ECM device developed that uses static IPv4 addressing which I can connect to an Arch Linux host and ping, but I am unable to have the same success from my Mac Studio M1 running Sequoia 15.1.1. The device shows up under 'Other Services' with 'Not connected' status, whether I leave it with the default settings or change it to 'Configure IPv4 -> Manually' and then set the appropriate IP address / Subnet mask / Router. From a discussion on Github, it seems that the ECM device must support NetworkConnection notification in order to work with MacOS. Can you point me to where this is documented and whether there are other expectations/requirements around USB network adapters? My end goal is to make an embedded device that communicates to MacOS and iPadOS devices/apps over USB CDC NCM with a simple UDP socket listener. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Hi I have some problems with my macOS after updating to Sonoma. I am running a intel based MacBookPro 2018. After update to Sonoma I had some Kernel panic. Log attached. Also I had some problems running my LaunchDaemon for starting macFUSE and connecting to SSHFS. This used to work before. Now, my plan forward is to restore a backup from the MacBook before update. I will restore the backup and remove any redundant/not in use .plist jobs ( especially ) LaunchDaemon jobs. When this is done I will try to update macOS again. I have many .plist jobs also Daemon. Please supply information on how I can remove any redundant / not in use .plist jobs. I belive the reason for the kernel panic was the io.macfuse.filesystems.macfuse.23 4.7.2. ( attached log ) I want to keep the io.macfuse.filesystems.macfuse.23 4.7.2 , but I want to remove other kexts not in use and other .plist not in use. Please supply info in how to identify redundant kexts not in use and redundant .plist not in use. How do I know if the induvidual kexts is needed or not ?

I am currently working on implementing the Live Caller ID Extension for my iOS app, and I understand that a backend server is required for this functionality. While I’ve gone through Apple’s documentation, the details on the backend setup are limited and not very clear for my backend team to implement it effectively. Could someone provide a more detailed explanation or sample implementation of the backend server required for this extension? Specifically, we are looking for: A clear understanding of the APIs and endpoints the backend needs to expose. Any authentication mechanisms required for communication with the extension. Data format (e.g., JSON structure) for requests and responses. Example code or additional resources, if available. Any help or guidance in understanding the exact backend requirements would be greatly appreciated.

I'm testing auto renewable subscription, specifically using Xcode testing (not sandbox). It seems that subscriptions are automatically cancelled after some time. I haven't found any documentation on how long time this is, so does anyone know?

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!

Hi all, I'm in the process of configuring Apple Pay for payments on an ecommerce site and I've come across the following documentation: Setting Up Your Server | Apple Developer Documentation It mentions the following in a yellow highlighted note Use a strict allow list for Apple IP addresses and domains provided in Listing 1. Do not allow your server to access any other IP addresses or domains. My first question is why does my server need to set a strict allowed list when the domain name apple-pay-gateway.apple.com is publicly accessible? My second question is that my web server is hosted on Vercel and I assume that there are no IP restrictions on any outbound requests. If there were restrictions where would I apply this whitelisting? Thanks for your help.

Callerid name is not being updated in device recent calls when incoming call is received or outgoing call is initiated for a number stored in my app unless phone app is force quit and relaunched. Is there any way to sync or refresh the callerid to be displayed in recent calls even if phone app is in background ?

Hi, I am new to swift and IOS development, I was developing an app which can be used to communicating between Apple Watch and iPhone. Something strange occurred when I was trying to observe the status of the message(UserInfo) sent by func transferUserInfo(_ userInfo: [String : Any] = [:]) -> WCSessionUserInfoTransfer. I was trying to observe isTransferring(a boolean value) in WCSessionUserInfoTransfer which was returned by the function mentioned above, but it seems cannot be updated even if the message queue was empty, it seems to always be True. Here is my sample code: let transfer = session.transferUserInfo(message) if transfer.isTransferring { Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 0.5, repeats: true) { timer in print("Queued message count: \(self.session.outstandingUserInfoTransfers.count), isTransferring:\(transfer.isTransferring)") if !transfer.isTransferring { timer.invalidate() // irrelevant codes... } } } else { // other irrelevant codes... } Appreciate if anyone can help me out of this problem. Best wishes.

Hi, I made an earier post about this and unfortunately can’t locate it so I’m doing a new one with screenshots. After I click on the Done button, I can briefly see it already residing on my phone. Please see the attached photos. Is this normal? I have a iPhone 15 ProMax. Thank you, D

I've found an app that has a call blocking feature an is able to add more than 10_000_000 entries. As I understand it doesn't use more than one extension for it because I see only one in the Call Blocking & Identifying settings menu. How to implement that? My limit now is around 1_800_000 entries.

Hi, I'm working on implementing Apple Pay on the Web. I noticed, both on my web but also on official Apple Pay on the Web Demo page (https://applepaydemo.apple.com/apple-pay-js-api) when you're sending request for recurring payment, it takes much longer to get response from Apple server (even in onpaymentauthorized method) than when using regular payment. You can test on the page mentioned above. When you authorise test card with basic payment it's pretty fast, but when you do authorisation with test card for recurring payment (or Deferred or Automatic Reload) "processing payment" is much longer. Is there a reason why is this and is there a way to speed it up? Thank you. Kind regards, Zoran

After upgrading to iOS 18.1, apple maps is really slow. I thought it was the app so I switched to google maps and same issue. I have tried all (including reseting the iPhone) but it did not fix it. I had iPhone 15 proMax, but since nothing worked, I upgraded to i16 but .... nothing. Any idea on how to get it fixed?

Hello all, I have a question, I am developing an application that uses the apply() function of the NEHotspotConfigurationManager class to switch the Wifi of the device. In the completionHandler of the apply() function, the error argument contains “Internal Error(8)” and the wifi switching may fail. We have never seen this problem during development, and since it occurs only in the market, we are at a loss as to the cause and countermeasure. Do you know the cause of the “Internal Error(8)” and how to fix it? A similar phenomenon has already been discussed in the following thread, but after countermeasures were taken in iOS12, it also occurs in iOS13 and later and no progress has been made since then. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/107851 I would appreciate it if someone could clarify what is happening with this error, as there is not much information on the web regarding this error. Thank you in advance.
