We are using HealthKit in our app to synchronize step count data. The data is correctly synced with the Health app, but the step count does not appear in the Fitness app (although workout data does). Is there anything developers need to do to synchronize step count data with the Fitness app as well?

Prerequisite: After the MDM APP issues the command, the camera on the phone is no longer visible (unusable). After upgrading to iOS 26.1, the isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method keeps returning true when the camera is unavailable. The isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method on iOS 26.0.1 is normal, returning false when the camera is unavailable and true when it is available. Please fix this method to determine If the isSourceTypeAvailable: UIImagePickerControlSourceTypeCamera method cannot determine whether the camera is available, please provide an available judgment method.

We got Advanced Commerce API and the generic product identifiers approved. When I was try to migrate a sandbox subscription to ACA enabled subscription I hit an error Request payload (Hid some info but the requestReferenceId is the real) { "descriptors": { "description": "Migrated", "displayName": "Migration" }, "items": [ { "sku": "product_1mo_999", "description": "description", "displayName": "Product" } ], "requestInfo": { "requestReferenceId": "3b0b8e67-d8a0-45f4-8f6d-06bffa9a2c08" }, "storefront": "USA", "targetProductId": "com.company.generic.subscription", "taxCode": "C003-00-1" } Response { "errorCode": 5000000, "errorMessage": "An unknown error occurred." }

I have a custom object which gets passed back to the main app from XPC. I whitelist it like so: NSSet *expectedClass = [NSSet setWithObjects:[NSArray class], [MyCustomClass class], nil]; [interface setClasses:expectedClass forSelector:@selector(myMethodNameHere:withCompletion:) argumentIndex:0 ofReply:YES]; Now my custom class conforms to NSSecureCoding. It does have an array property of another custom class. @property (nonatomic,readonly) NSArray *arraypropertyOfOtherClass; Which is decoded in -initWithCoder: using: -decodeArrayOfObjectsOfClasses:forKey: Now on macOS Tahoe this is all walking fine. But I just tested on macOS Monterey and I get the following error: Exception: decodeObjectForKey: too many nested collections when explicitly decoding a single collection. How should I handle this for earlier versions of macOS?

I’m getting calls from Pakistan every hour. I cant block them because it’s a different number every time. I have downloaded the new beta version of the upcoming software update and it allows you to set to ask a question before unknown callers ring through. It’s not working and my phone is constantly ringing. I can’t block unknown callers as I use my phone for work. How can I silence ringing from calls specifically from Pakistan Using the country code?

The Developer App Certificate is not trusted.

I am having a rare crash when calling FileHandle(forWritingTo:) initializer with a file that does not exist. In the documentation, I see that the expected behaviour is to return nil, but in my app, in rare cases I have a Crash. My code that causes the crash is if let handle = try? FileHandle(forWritingTo: logFile) { Is it a known behaviour ? should I test if the file exist before calling FileHandle(forWritingTo:) ? Shareable_2025-09-01_05-32-28.3051.crash

Hello everyone. Can I download ios 17 on a regular iphone x, not an xs, but an x? How can I do this using the developer program?

I am developing a CarPlay driving tasks app and is able to display push notifications on CarPlay. I am looking at a way to get a tap action handler for push notifications on CarPlay such that when a user taps the notification and by default the app opens, but I want to present a CPInformationTemplate with data corresponding to the tapped notification.

What are guidelines for apps being released in the US App Store in order to comply with The Texas App Store Accountability Act? I mean there's no way to differentiate an app downloaded in Texas from the other states and it would be ridiculous to add location awareness to an app to comply with this, so effectively it means any developer of any app for release in the US must comply with this in case it might be being used in Texas? This new Apple API has zero background, zero context, zero example of usage, zero guidelines about how to use it in practice: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/declaredagerange/

I have a question regarding UITapGestureRecognizer, its configuration, and how it affects the responder chain. Here’s the situation: I have a UITapGestureRecognizer added to the window, and there is also a UIBarButtonItem. I noticed that depending on the gesture recognizer’s settings, it influences the responder chain in unexpected ways. I created a minimal reproducible example (MRE) and included a table with print outputs at the bottom. For the first three configuration options, everything works as expected. However, the last two options cause confusion: If the UITapGestureRecognizer is configured as: cancelsTouchesInView = false delaysTouchesBegan = true the tap is recognized on the window. If configured as: cancelsTouchesInView = true delaysTouchesBegan = true the tap is recognized on the UIBarButtonItem. My question is: why does this happen? I expected that delaysTouchesBegan and cancelsTouchesInView would only affect the gesture recognizer to which they are applied, controlling whether the tap is forwarded and whether gestures are handled simultaneously. However, it appears that these settings influence the entire responder chain.

I’m integrating the Declared Age Range feature to tailor our app’s experience based on a user’s age range. I’m currently in the testing phase and would like to repeatedly test the consent flow and different outcomes from AgeRangeService.shared.requestAgeRange(...). However, once I go through the consent flow and choose to share, the age-range sharing sheet no longer appears on subsequent attempts—so it’s hard to validate edge cases (e.g., changed gates, declined flow, re-prompt behavior). Could you advise on the recommended way to reset or re-prompt during development? In particular: Is there a supported way to clear per-app consent so the system prompts again? Under what conditions should the “Share Age Range Again” control appear in Settings, and is there an equivalent way to trigger it for testing? Are there best practices for QA (e.g., using Ask First at the system level, testing on real devices vs. Simulator, using a separate bundle ID for dev builds, or other steps)? Any other guidance for validating different requestAgeRange results (e.g., declined/not available) would be appreciated.

Hey guys! I've recently noticed a number of PaaS'es and CPaaS'es offering bulk outgoing messaging using the iMessage the same way it's done with the SMS. I always thought that iMessage sort of only allowed businesses to send outgoings subject to user contacting their account first (to avoid being spammed). But then there's those I mentioned above. Have you faced anything like this? Did Apple make changes to the model so that businesses can now initiate conversations with users? If so, how does it work?

Hi, we are implementing ID&V and there is a requirement regarding the flow for Apple Pay. In order to clarify the case I will describe the use case scenario or steps to reproduce first: add a card to the iPhone wallet app (yellow path verification required). Do not complete the ID&V process. add a card to the Watch via the Wallet inside the iPhone Watch app (yellow path verification required). Same as before, do not complete the ID&V complete ID&V process using the Issuer App either from iPhone or Watch. the Issuer app receives the application:openURL:options: callback on its AppDelegate. In the options dictionary, we can not see the UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsSourceApplicationKey populated (it is nil). At this moment, for the card we are adding there are now two tokens, both to be verified via ID&V process. One is on the iPhone and one is on the Apple Watch associated with the same iPhone. The url received at step 4 contains the serial number which identifies the digitized card and matches with both the tokens in the iPhone and in the Apple Watch. We need something to detect programmatically if the digitization process started from the iPhone Wallet app or from the wallet inside the Watch app. Could you please help us to identify how we could discriminate if the ID&V process has been started for the iPhone token or for the Apple Watch token? Thanks

We've developed a PCIDriverKit driver for the capture card on macOS and have identified an issue: CreateMemoryDescriptorFromClient can only read data from the user space to the driver, but cannot write data back to the user. typedef struct _MWCAP_EDID_DATA { uint64_t size; uint64_t uaddr; } MWCAP_EDID_DATA; // App size_t xxx::GetEdid(void *buff, size_t size) { MWCAP_EDID_DATA edid; edid.size = size; edid.uaddr = (uint64_t)buff; kr = IOConnectCallStructMethod( connect, kUserGetEdid, &edid, sizeof(MWCAP_EDID_DATA), NULL, NULL ); // kr is 0. But However, the data in the buffer remains unchanged; // it does not reflect the EDID copied from the DEXT. return size; } // Driver MWCAP_EDID_DATA *edid = (MWCAP_EDID_DATA *)input; IOMemoryDescriptor *user_buf_mem = NULL; IOAddressSegment segment; segment.address = edid->uaddr; segment.length = edid->size; // We have verified that the values in edid->uaddr and edid->size are consistent with what was set by the application. ret = CreateMemoryDescriptorFromClient(kIOMemoryDirectionOutIn, 1, &segment, &user_buf_mem); if (ret != kIOReturnSuccess) { os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "Failed to create memdesc with error: 0x%08x", ret); break; } IOMemoryMap* user_buf_map = nullptr; ret = user_buf_mem->CreateMapping(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, &user_buf_map); if (ret != kIOReturnSuccess) { os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "Failed to create mapping with error: 0x%08x", ret); OSSafeReleaseNULL(user_buf_mem); break; } // ... fill the user_buf_map with edid data ... // For example: // memcpy(user_buf_map->GetAddress(), source_edid_data, edid->size); // At this point we have also verified the data in user_buf_map->GetAddress(), which matches our expectations. OSSafeReleaseNULL(user_buf_map); OSSafeReleaseNULL(user_buf_mem); Please help take a look, thank you!

When our Bluetooth device is scanned and a connection is initiated through the app on the iPhone 17, the air log shows that the iPhone sends an LL_LENGTH_REQ to execute the Data Length Update Procedure. However, our peripheral does not support the Bluetooth LE Data Length Extension, so it responds with an LL_UNKNOWN_RSP PDU with the UnknownType field set to LL_LENGTH_REQ. After receiving the LL_UNKNOWN_RSP, the iPhone 17 does not proceed with the subsequent Bluetooth LE service discovery process. The connection is maintained until the peripheral actively disconnects. Once the peripheral disconnects and continues broadcasting Bluetooth signals, the iPhone 17 repeatedly tries to connect to the peripheral and executes the aforementioned process, even if the app has been terminated. According to the Bluetooth 4.2 core specification ([Vol. 6] Part B, Section 5.1.9), which can be found here: https://www.bluetooth.com/specifications/specs/core-specification-amended-4-2/, the iPhone should accept the LL_UNKNOWN_RSP and terminate the Data Length Update Procedure after receiving it, proceeding with the subsequent operations using the default minimum parameters. Phenomenon: When the app calls the - (void)connectPeripheral:(CBPeripheral *)peripheral options:(nullable NSDictionary<NSString *, id> *)options method, the connection result callback is never received. After a period of approximately 10 seconds, it fails with a callback, displaying the message: central did fail to connect to peripheral: <TY : 45E4A697-31AE-9B5A-1C38-53D7CA624D8C, Error Domain=CoreBLEErrorDomain Code=400 "(null)">.

I have developed a Widget Extension with editable dynamic options. `struct ModelQuery: EntityStringQuery { public var allModels:[ModelEntity] { // from App Groups UserDefaults let models = SharedDataManager.getModelList() // 检查原始数据是否为空，避免转换后的数据异常 guard !models.isEmpty else { return [] } let entites = models.map{ModelEntity(from: $0)} return entites } func entities(for identifiers: [ModelEntity.ID]) async throws -> [ModelEntity] { let models = allModels if models.isEmpty { return [] } // 尝试匹配ID let matchedEntities = identifiers.compactMap { id in models.first { $0.id == id } } // 如果没有匹配到任何实体，返回默认的第一个站点 if matchedEntities.isEmpty && !models.isEmpty { return [models[0]] } return matchedEntities } func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [ModelEntity] { let stations = allModels if stations.isEmpty { return [] } if string.isEmpty { return stations } let lowercasedString = string.lowercased() let filteredStations = stations.filter { station in station.name.lowercased().contains(lowercasedString) } if filteredStations.isEmpty { return [] } return filteredStations } func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [ModelEntity] { return allModels } }` Below is how it looks when functioning properly However, when I tested it on iOS 26, occasional "Failed to Load" errors or unknown errors occurred. The same issues did not appear on iOS 17 or iOS 18.

Hello, As I've been tinkering with the new URL filtering API I've been struggling to create bloom filters. I have been referencing this developer's post heavily: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/791352?answerId=851527022#851527022 He suggests that the expected FNV-1a implementation has the multiply and xor operations inverted, while an Apple engineer suggests that this will be updated on the offical iOS26 release (which has already happened). What is the "correct" FNV-1a implementation? In this sample project (which is from july, so pre-release ios 26): https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/filtering-traffic-by-url Is the included bloom filter data correct? I can only assume the other developer used this as a reference to then conclude that multiplying and xor-ing should be inverted, so I'm really not sure if this bloom filter bitVectorData here is trustworthy. Is there any reference implementation for this hashing procedure? How do we generate a bloom filter properly and know that it is correct?

I am constantly running out of storage on my iPhone 16 Pro. I keep having to move my photos and videos to my laptop and delete them from my phone, and I’m constantly needing to offload apps and manually clear caches in some apps to free up storage. I finally got sick of having this cycle every two weeks so looked into it more closely. I’m finding that iOS consumes 32 GB, and then another system reserve category is consuming an additional 23 GB. Meaning the system reserved files are consuming half of the storage on this phone and effectively making it a 64 GB model. I understand the system will need to consume some capacity for itself and that iOS is getting larger, but nearly 50% of the capacity of the phone is insane. Looking closer into the categories, I’m seeing that iOS has taken it upon itself to also permanently provision 10% of the storage capacity for reserve update space. Already another instance of “why am I having to lose so much of my functional capacity to an occasional process?” but I can understand the utility of this — if I didn’t still have to offload basically all my apps every single time I run a software update, because I’m still some not-insignificant amount short. I seem to recall it being between 6-20 GB across the different updates I’ve had to do since iOS 26 rolled around. I’d also like to be clear that preprovisioning the storage space for updates isn’t a bad idea, just give us an off switch if we’d rather be able to take a few hundred more photos, have another few apps, etc. than have the space sit mostly unused. The biggest culprit is this “system data” category which is somehow consuming as much space as the entire operating system and its extensions. There’s no clear way to request iOS to clear this down if some of it is temporary data, which we should have a button for even if Apple thinks it should “just work.” Windows usually trims down on its temp files, but on the occasion you go look and see 67 GB of temporary files, being able to manually run the disk cleanup tool is very helpful. I’m hesitant to try any third party app because I shouldn’t need to, and knowing Apple, it wouldn’t have access to anything it would actually have to touch anyway. Which is neither here nor there, but give us a button to clear cache or maybe run the cleanup when the phone reboots? I am running the developer beta right now so maybe that’s part of it. However I’m not sure… I had switched to mainline release for a while when it released, and it didn’t seem any different with storage consumption and battery drain. I jumped back to beta to see some of the new features and am waiting for another mainline release to switch back to as the recent betas have been much more unstable/buggy than the entire prerelease beta period. Just wondering if anyone has any kind of input on this storage issue in particular as it’s not really been talked about as much as the battery drain issue from what I can see.

Hello, in the bundle ID (Com.mycompany....) the C is capital which is wrong it should be small, I tried to delete it but it says theres an app connect to it even though I checked and there's no app, I tried to create another with small C but can because there's one already Please tell me there's a solution for this
