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?

Accessing a directory on my custom distributed filesystem results in a kernel panic. According to the backtrace, the last function called before the panic is triggered is mac_label_verify(). See the backtrace file attached. mac_label_verify-panic.txt The panic manifests itself given the following conditions: Machine-a: make a directory in Finder. Machine-b: remove the directory created on machine-a in Finder. Machine-a: access the directory removed on machine-b in Finder. Kernel panic ensues. The panic is reproducible on both Apple Silicon and x86-64. The backtrace is for x86-64 as I wasn't able to symbolicate it on Apple Silicon. Not sure how to tackle this one. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

I'd like to be able to do the equivalent of getrusage(3) for some of our other processes. These are daemons, so they're not connected in any way. Obviously, Activity Monitor and top can do the things I want, but I'm not Apple. 😄 I went down a maze of twisty APIs, all a-Mach, and have decided to ask. (We're trying to keep track of the processes in the field. We also want to know what's going on if a process has stopped responding but hasn't died. I suppose I could, absolute worst case, periodically send getrusage(3) info to the monitoring process.)

I'm tryng to develop a software that can connect an iPhone to a HMI Box in order to use CarPlay and test an app for CarPlay. Since the starting point is to ask the device, i.e. the iPhone, if it supports CarPlay, I have to write a USB Vendor-Specific Request that the accessory send to know for this capability. I would like to know what are the specific parameters to include in the control transfer request from accessory to device, especially: bRequest, wValue, wIndex. I've studied the whole Accessory Interface Specification Carplay Addendum, but i couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance for your support.

After update to MacOS Sonoma 14.7.1 (23H222) my external monitor immediately started to flicker (noticeable even on 100Hz refresh rate). During the update the external monitor was connected to the laptop. Flickering persist on personal Windows laptop too. Tried to connect/disconnect current cables, flickering persists. Tried to switch to another cable Display port to HDMI, flickering persists. Monitor now is basically unusable, the update damaged it.

We are experiencing an infrequent issue with the handoff between our Siri intent, our iOS app, and our CarPlay extension. Siri correctly understands the request, and the handler(for intent: INIntent) method is called. In the final step, we respond using: INStartCallIntentResponse(code: .continueInApp, userActivity: userActivity) with an instance of NSUserActivity initialized as: NSUserActivity(activityType: "our.unique.StartCallIntent") This "our.unique.StartCallIntent" type is included in the app’s NSUserActivityTypes attribute within the Info.plist. The callback is handled in the main view of the app through: view.onContinueUserActivity("our.unique.StartCallIntent", perform: handleSiriIntent) Additionally, we handle the callback in the CarPlay extension using: func scene(_: UIScene, continue userActivity: NSUserActivity) This is necessary because when Siri is invoked while CarPlay is active, the CarPlay extension should receive the callback. Most of the time, both callbacks are triggered as expected. However, on rare occasions, the handoff fails, and neither onContinueUserActivity nor scene(_: UIScene, continue userActivity:) receives a callback from the Siri intent. Is this a known issue? If so, are there any guidelines or best practices for ensuring that our Siri intent handoff consistently triggers the callbacks?

The background asset keys (BAEssentiaMaxInstallSize/BAMaxInstallSize) referenced in the app's Info.plist will be displayed to users on the App Store, as outlined in the WWDC video and supported by Apple’s documentation. Could you please clarify where exactly on the App Store's product page these values will be visible? Is the size displayed on the App Store a sum of the app bundle size and the size specified in these keys within the Info.plist?

I recently updated both my phones iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 16 Pro Max on iOS 18.1, and after update when I open camera and go to SLO-MO the screen starts flickering, even though after recoding when I play the video. Video is playing the same with the flickering screen. is it iOS update issue or something else.

I need to check how long we can run an app in background which act as a consumer of data / control filter. What is the max time we get to run our app in background without any of these app strategies? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundtasks/choosing-background-strategies-for-your-app

I'm wondering if setting the correct activityType after initializing CLLocationManager will make the location results more accurate. locationManager = CLLocationManager() locationManager.distanceFilter = 20 locationManager.activityType = .fitness

In my iOS app, I know that adding words to kMDItemKeywords in the Info.plist allows them to appear in Spotlight search. However, I want specific keywords to make my app appear in the App Library search. Where should I add these keywords to enable this functionality?

Is it possible for the Bluetooth permissions of an app to be turned off due to changes in the iOS application's Bluetooth library, possibly because of Apple's security requirements or OS-related factors? There are two applications, Application A and Application B, that control Bluetooth devices. Application A uses a third-party Bluetooth library to control the Bluetooth devices. Application B also uses a third-party Bluetooth library to control the Bluetooth devices. The Bluetooth libraries used by Application A and Application B are different, but both applications work without any issues. However, when the Bluetooth library used in Application B was changed to the one used in Application A, the Bluetooth permissions for Application B sometimes turned off. Since Application A and Application B operate without any issues on their own, we believe the problem is not with the Bluetooth libraries themselves. Given the above situation, is it possible that changing the Bluetooth library used could cause the Bluetooth permissions of the app to be turned off due to Apple's security requirements or OS-related factors?

I have an app that uses SwiftData with CloudKit to synchronize data across a users devices. I'm able to replicate data created on one device on another and when removing data, it is also removed on the other device. So, I know that SwiftData and CloudKit are configured correctly. What I'd like to do though, is to ensure that if a user installs the app on an additional device, that the data is synchronized upon app start. When testing my app on a third device, via TestFlight, there was no data in the app upon launch even though all three devices are using the same Apple account (e.g. Apple ID). What is the best way to achieve this?

The app gets stuck after login on an iOS 18 device. It works in Xcode, but the simulator shows the following console error: IntegrationApp(769,0x1f0094c00) malloc: xzm: failed to initialize deferred reclamation buffer (46).

I am sending push notifications to the app with critical alerts, but there is a significant delay. If the number of target devices is 1000 or less, notifications will be received normally within a few seconds to a minute. Once the number of target devices exceeds 1000, some devices will arrive quickly (normally within a few seconds to 1 minute) and others will arrive late (3 minutes to 15 minutes, divided into hundreds of items). In severe cases, notifications to more than 80% of devices will be delayed. Example: If you send 3000 notifications at once, 　1 minute: Notify 400 items 　5 minutes: Notify 1000 items 　10 minutes: Notify 1000 items 　13 minutes: Notify 600 items *The timing of 5 minutes, 10 minutes, and 13 minutes changes every time and is not at regular intervals. We understand that according to the push notification specifications, sending several thousand messages at once is not a problem. Please let me know if there is a rule, such as sending 1000 items at a time, in order to deliver quickly and with minimal delay.

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?

I use the write-review query parameter in my App Store URL to bring up the review prompt in the App Store app: https://apps.apple.com/app/id0123456789?action=write-review (0123456789 is just an example ID, obviously replace that with your app ID) This is exactly what is supposed to be done as per the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/requesting_app_store_reviews#4312600 However, on macOS it just opens the product page as if I never put the query parameter in the URL. It works fine on iOS 18.2. I am using macOS 15.2 beta 3 (24C5079e) Feedback ID: FB15866683

I am really hoping somebody can help. I in the process of having our app relaunched with CarPlay and a few other features. However, after nearly 4 weeks I've still not had confirmation of Carplay being accepted. I've submitted several times without any response. When I've contacted Apple Support I simply get a generic reply (see below) Hello Gareth, CarPlay apps are editorially selected, you will be contacted if your app is selected to proceed. If you have already submitted your request to have your app support CarPlay, there is no actions needed. Estimates and status updates are not available. Please let us know if you have any questions or need further assistance.
