Some users of my app are reporting total loss of data while using the app.
This is happening specifically when they enable iCloud sync.
I am doing following
private func setupContainer(enableICloud: Bool) {
container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "")
container.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true
container.viewContext.mergePolicy = NSMergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicy
guard let description: NSPersistentStoreDescription = container.persistentStoreDescriptions.first else {
fatalError()
}
description.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey)
description.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentStoreRemoteChangeNotificationPostOptionKey)
if enableICloud == false {
description.cloudKitContainerOptions = nil
}
container.loadPersistentStores { description, error in
if let error {
// Handle error
}
}
}
When user clicks on Toggle to enable/disable iCloud sync I just set the description.cloudKitContainerOptions to nil and then user is asked to restart the app.
Apart from that I periodically run the clear history
func deleteTransactionHistory() {
let sevenDaysAgo = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .day, value: -7, to: Date())!
let purgeHistoryRequest = NSPersistentHistoryChangeRequest.deleteHistory(before: sevenDaysAgo)
let backgroundContext = container.newBackgroundContext()
backgroundContext.performAndWait {
try! backgroundContext.execute(purgeHistoryRequest)
}
}

Original discussion pre iOS 26
Our app uses Auth0 with HTTPS callback, we've found the issue where AASA file is not ready immediately when app is initially launched, which is the exact issue from the above link.
The issue seems mostly fixed on later versions on iOS 18, however, we are seeing some indications of a regression on iOS 26. Here's some measurement over the last week.
| Platform | iOS 18 | iOS 26 |
|---------------|----------|--------|
| Adoption rate | 55% | 45% |
| Issue seen | 1 | 5 |
| Recover? | Yes | No |
This only 1 iOS 18 instance was able to recover after 1 second after the first try, however, all iOS 26 instances were not able to recover in couple tens of seconds and less than 1 minute, the user eventually gave up.
Is there a way to force app to update AASA file?
Are there some iOS setting (like using a VPN) that could potentially downgrade the AASA fetch?

Hello everyone.
After a lot of research and some tests from various sources, I have actually built a small SerialDriverKit IOUserSerial driver. Unfortunately, the documentation on the official sites is tight-lipped and very thin. At least I have a running driver instance. Now my request and question: Can anyone give me a tip on how to get the data from the serial client? I have already called IOUserSerial::ConnectQueues(...) in the IOUserSerial::Start() method and I got the IOMemoryDescriptors for interrupt, RX and TX to my driver instance. I tried to get access to the memory in the method IOUserSerial::TxDataAvailable() with IOMemoryDescriptor::CreateMapping(...).
Unfortunately, no data is coming in. It's always 0x00. Here is the OS log:

TN 3115 states that apps that do not use AccessorySetupKit will loose the ability to launch into the background to service bluetooth in iOS26.
Starting in iOS 26 and iPadOS 26, only apps that use AccessorySetupKit to setup Bluetooth accessories will be relaunched.
Is there any more information regarding this? Will it affect any app under iOS26 or only those build against the iOS26 SDK?
My app (dev build) is still relaunched, even though I'm running iOS26, so I wonder if there are any more conditions checked.

We are trying to figure out a strange issue.
Our app has not changed for at least 10 months but my devices and the QA tester device have all stopped receiving push/call notifications for twilio voip
The twilio credential and apple voip services certificate are in date and valid
It is pointing to the correct bundle id and topic (not changed configuration for years)
token passed in to TwilioVoiceSDK.register() is retrieved from PKPushRegistry as per guide
Running locally the Twilio Voice SDK successfully registers and retrieves APNs token
What is interesting is if I log in with exactly the same client account on an iOS 18.5 device (and an older iPad) call notifications work perfectly (I have made sure all focus modes/dnd are off and notification settings are identical)
The only changes myself and QA have made recently is minor iOS 18 version updates - 18.6.2 and 18.7.1
These now receive Invalid device token from APNs when Twilio attempts to create a call/voip notification for the user identity
Our devices sometimes switch environments test/prod so I installed the app cleanly on a borrowed 18.6.2 device and got the exact same issue
We have tested on these devices most of the year with no issues.
I have been in touch with twilio support and added code to explicitly unregister and re register on an affected device to clear any bindings but it didn't help.
Have apple made any changes in PushKit or token behaviour for later versions of iOS 18?
Thanks
Hello,
I would like to inquire about a specific behavior I've observed with Live Activities to determine if it is a bug.
When our application is closed but the device is in use, an alarm triggers a Live Activity to appear at the top of the screen. However, it seems that tapping the background area of this Live Activity does not trigger the .widgetURL and .onOpenURL
Could you please confirm if this is the intended behavior? or should I config another setting for desired action like trigger .onOpenURL?
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Best regards,
Excited for AlarmKit! I have found two concerns that I cannot find answers for though.
The volume of my alarms seems to be very quite relative to the full volume capability of the device. For example, if I turn the volume all the way up and play the audio file, the sound is very loud. However then, if I set the alarm using alarm kit with the same audio, the track played during the alerting phase is not that loud. I am afraid that it will not be loud enough in real life. Will there be future support to set the volume level of the alarm to maximum settings?
When I press the volume buttons (with the app open) during an active alarm, the audio stops, but the alarm manager does not clear these events. The alarm manager does clear the alarm event if the alarm is stopped through a live activity.
Topic:
App & System Services
SubTopic:
Notifications
Is this intended behavior? I want my app to act like the regular Clock app and snooze alarms when user taps volume down button but apparently volume down button stops the alarm. Is this normal or am I missing something?

TCC Permission Inheritance for Python Process Launched by Swift App in Enterprise Deployment
We are developing an enterprise monitoring application that requires a hybrid Swift + Python architecture due to strict JAMF deployment restrictions. We must deploy a macOS application via ABM/App Store Connect, but our core monitoring logic is in a Python daemon. We need to understand the feasibility and best practices for TCC permission inheritance in this specific setup.
Architecture
Component
Bundle ID
Role
Deployment
Swift Launcher
com.athena.AthenaSentry
Requests TCC permissions, launches Python child process.
Deployed via ABM/ASC.
Python Daemon
com.athena.AthenaSentry.Helper
Core monitoring logic using sensitive APIs.
Nested in Contents/Helpers/.
Both bundles are signed with the same Developer ID and share the same Team ID.
Required Permissions
The Python daemon needs to access the following sensitive TCC-controlled services:
Screen Recording (kTCCServiceScreenCapture) - for capturing screenshots.
Input Monitoring (kTCCServiceListenEvent) - for keystroke/mouse monitoring.
Accessibility (kTCCServiceAccessibility) - a prerequisite for Input Monitoring.
Attempts & Workarounds
We have attempted to resolve this using:
Entitlement Inheritance: Added com.apple.security.inherit to the Helper's entitlements.
Permission Proxy: Swift app maintains active event taps to try and "hold" the permissions for the child.
Foreground Flow: Keeping the Swift app in the foreground during permission requests.
Questions
Is this architecture supported? Can a Swift parent app successfully request TCC permissions that a child process can then use?
TCC Inheritance: What are the specific rules for TCC permission inheritance between parent/child processes in enterprise environment?
What's the correct approach for this enterprise use case? Should we:
Switch to a Single Swift App? (i.e., abandon the Python daemon and rewrite the core logic natively in Swift).
Use XPC Services? (instead of launching the child process directly).

Hello,
https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/802443
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/servicemanagement/updating-helper-executables-from-earlier-versions-of-macos
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ServiceManagement/updating-your-app-package-installer-to-use-the-new-service-management-api#Run-the-sample-launch-agent
Read these.
Earlier we had a setup with SMJobBless, now we have migrated to SMAppService.
Everything is working fine, the new API seems easier to manage, but we are having issues with updating the daemon.
I was wondering, what is the right process for updating a daemon from app side?
What we are doing so far:
App asks daemon for version
If version is lower than expected:
daemon.unregister(), wait a second and daemon.register() again.
The why?
We have noticed that unregistering/registering multiple times, of same daemon, can cause the daemon to stop working as expected. The daemon toggle in Mac Settings -> Login Items & Extensions can be on or off, but the app can still pickup daemon running, but no daemon running in Activity monitor. Registration/unregistration can start failing and nothing helps to resolve this, only reseting with sfltool resetbtm and a restart seems to does the job. This is usually noticeable for test users, testing same daemon version with different app builds.
In production app, we also increase the bundle version of daemon in plist, in test apps we - don't.
I haven't found any sources of how the update of pre-bundled app daemon should work.
Initial idea is register/unregister, but from what I have observed, this seems to mess up after multiple registrations.
I have a theory, that sending the daemon a command to kill itself after app update, would load the latest daemon.
Also, I haven't observed for daemon, with different build versions to update automatically.
What is the right way to update a daemon with SMAppService setup?
Thank you in advance.
On my iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max devices, running iOS 26.0, 26.0.1, and 26.1, Wi-Fi raw socket communication works flawlessly. Even after keeping the connection active for over 40 minutes, there are no disconnections during data transmission.
However, on the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro, the raw socket connection drops within 20 seconds. Once it disconnects, the socket cannot reconnect unless the Wi-Fi module itself is reset.
I believe this issue is caused by a bug in the iPhone 17 series’ communication module. I have looked into many cases, and it appears to be related to a bug in the N1 chipset.
Are there any possible solutions or workarounds for this issue?
On macOS 15.7.1 I'm trying to install an XPC service outside the app (Developer ID). It mostly seems to go ok, but when I set Launch Constraints on Responsible, AMFI complains of a violation, saying the service is responsible for itself, and fails to launch. Removing that constraint (or adding the service itself to the constraint) works fine.
The service is an optional download, and installed to /Users/Shared with a LaunchAgent specifying the MachService. The service is correctly launched and seems to pass all codesigning, notarization, and other checks, but the Responsible isn't set to the "calling" app.
Is this broken, or working as intended?

XPC is the preferred inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism on Apple platforms. XPC has three APIs:
The high-level NSXPCConnection API, for Objective-C and Swift
The low-level Swift API, introduced with macOS 14
The low-level C API, which, while callable from all languages, works best with C-based languages

I'm trying to use NEHotspotNetwork to configure an IoT. I've read all the issues that have plagued other developers when using this framework, and I was under the impression that bugs were filed and fixed.
Here are my issues in hopes that someone can catch my bug, or has finally figured this out and it's not a bug in the framework with no immediate fix on the horizon.
If I use the following code:
let config = NEHotspotConfiguration(ssid: ssid)
config.joinOnce = true
KiniStatusBanner.shared.show(text: "Connecting to Kini", in: presentingVC.view)
NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared.apply(config) { error in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
if let nsError = error as NSError?,
nsError.domain == NEHotspotConfigurationErrorDomain,
nsError.code == NEHotspotConfigurationError.alreadyAssociated.rawValue {
print("Already connected to \(self.ssid)")
KiniStatusBanner.shared.dismiss()
self.presentCaptivePortal(from: presentingVC, activationCode: activationCode)
} else if let error = error {
// This doesn't happen
print("❌ Failed to connect: \(error.localizedDescription)")
KiniStatusBanner.shared.update(text: "Failed to Connect to Kini. Try again later.")
KiniStatusBanner.shared.dismiss(after: 2.5)
} else {
// !!!! Most often, this is the path the code takes
NEHotspotNetwork.fetchCurrent { current in
if let ssid = current?.ssid, ssid == self.ssid {
log("✅✅ 1st attempt: connected to \(self.ssid)")
KiniStatusBanner.shared.dismiss()
self.presentCaptivePortal(from: presentingVC, activationCode: activationCode)
} else {
// Dev forums talked about giving things a bit of time to settle and then try again
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 2) {
NEHotspotNetwork.fetchCurrent { current in
if let ssid = current?.ssid, ssid == self.ssid {
log("✅✅✅ 2nd attempt: connected to \(self.ssid)")
KiniStatusBanner.shared.dismiss()
self.presentCaptivePortal(from: presentingVC, activationCode: activationCode)
} else {
log("❌❌❌ 2nd attempt: Failed to connect: \(self.ssid)")
KiniStatusBanner.shared.update(text: "Could not join Kini network. Try again.")
KiniStatusBanner.shared.dismiss(after: 2.5)
self.cleanupHotspot()
DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + 2) {
print("cleanup again")
self.cleanupHotspot()
}
}
}
}
log("❌❌ 1st attempt: Failed to connect: \(self.ssid)")
KiniStatusBanner.shared.update(text: "Could not join Kini network. Try again.")
KiniStatusBanner.shared.dismiss(after: 2.5)
self.cleanupHotspot()
}
As you can see, one can't just use NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared.apply and has to double-check to make sure that it actually succeeds, by checking to see if the SSID desired, matches the one that the device is using.
Ok, but about 50% of the time, the call to NEHotspotNetwork.fetchCurrent gives me this error:
NEHotspotNetwork nehelper sent invalid result code [1] for Wi-Fi information request
Well, there is a workaround for that randomness too. At some point before calling this code, one can:
let locationManager = CLLocationManager()
locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization()
That eliminates the NEHotspotNetwork nehelper sent invalid result code [1] for Wi-Fi information request
BUT... three issues.
The user is presented with an authorization alert: Allow "Kini" to use your location? This app needs access to you Wi-Fi name to connect to your Kini device. Along with a map with a location pin on it. This gives my users a completely wrong impression, especially for a device/app where we promise users not to track their location. They actually see a map with their location pinned on it, implying something that would freak out anyone who was expecting no tracking. I understand why an authorization is normally required, but since all we are getting is our own IoT's SSID, there should be no need for an authorization for this, and no map associated with the request. Again, they are accessing my IoT's network, NOT their home/location Wi-Fi SSID. My app already knows and specifies that network, and all I am trying to do is to work around a bug that makes it look like I have a successful return from NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared.apply() when in fact the network I was looking for wasn't even on.
Not only do I get instances where the network doesn't connect, and result codes show no errors, but I also get instances where I get an alert that says that the network is unreachable, yet my IoT shows that the app is connected to its Wi-Fi. On the iOS device, I go to the Wi-Fi settings, and see that I am on the IoT's network. So basically, sometimes I connect, but the frameworks says that there is no connection, and sometimes it reports a connection when there is none.
As you can see in the code, I call cleanupHotspot() to make the iOS device get off of my temp Wi-Fi SSID. This is the code:
func cleanupHotspot() {
NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared.removeConfiguration(forSSID: ssid)
}
That code gets called by the above code when things aren't as I expect and need to cleanup. And I also call it when the user dismisses the viewcontroller that is attempting to make the connection.
It doesn't always work. I get stuck on the tempo SSID, unless I go through this whole thing again: try to make the connection again, this time it succeeds quickly, and then I can disconnect.
Any ideas?
I'm on iOS18.5, and have tried this on multiple iPhones including 11, 13 and 16.
I want to know all settings that need to be set in a macOS 15+ virtual mac in order to successfully screen share into it from the physical machine. Also any virtual machine configuration settings I may not understand.
I have successfully set up screen sharing into an macOS 15 M2 mac studio that sits in the corner, on which I am running a cooked up variant of the sample code from apple about virtualizing a mac on a mac. I'm screen sharing into it from my macOS 15 M2 laptop. So I know I have at least one set of screen sharing settings correct.
I have also successfully set up a macOS 14 virtual machine in that app into which I am able to screen share into from the mac studio.
However, when I set up macOS 15 (and macOS 26) virtual machines, connections for screen sharing and file access don't succeed after 1 minute (I get the aqua-colored cylon / knight-rider -style progress bar for a minute, and then a connection failure dialog). I don't get the prompt to choose standard or enhanced. and I don't get asked for my user name and password. I see the virtual machine host names listed in the Finder Network tab (and the screen share button shows in the toolbar when I double click into them) and also when I instead turn on remote management and use Remote Desktop I can see the machine in Bonjour mode. In remote desktop, verifying log in is what fails, but of course those can be specified up front.
I have the Firewalls turned off in the virtual machines, and I've also tried using the explicit vnc:// url with local ip addresses, and that also fails similarly.
Unlike the code sample for virtualization a mac on a mac, in order to support multiple simultaneous virtual machines, I created random mac addresses when initially configuring the machine, and I store those in a config file I use to reconstitute the machine when it restores. I also store the machine identifier that's generated at creation time. Other features in the virtual machines seem to work fine when running either one or both virtual machines. And I have the same problems with screen sharing whether I have one or both machines running. The virtual machine which does not seem to work is the one with the custom sharing name.
I can screen share out of the virtual machines as well, though all they can see is the mac studio, so controlling the same machine I'm on through the VZVirtualMachineView does not go well, but the connections succeed. I'm also able to file share into the mac studio from the virtual machine, which is how I'm doing things like file transfers, but I'd prefer to drag / drop them through the screen share.
I have not tried figuring out if other privacy settings in macOS 15 may be responsible, for instance is there something about screen capturing that should be turned on or off? I don't see any apps set for screen and system audio recording on the real mac studio I'm able to screen share into, so I assumed that wasn't a factor.
My goal isn't to build a fully functional virtual machine app, I just have to run some software in specific versions of mac os (i.e. macOS 14) because they have been discontinued by their makers, and they have a history of always failing when new macOS versions are released. and some other software I can run in macOS 15, but not having working screen sharing means I'm stuck trying to learn all the ins and outs of the virtualization framework, when screen sharing ought to be an easier solution for me for now.
In the future, is there any plans to have AppMigrationKit for macOS-Windows cross transfers (or Linux, ChromeOS, HarmonyOS NEXT, etc)? Additionally, will the migration framework remain just iOS <-> Android or will it extend to Windows tablets, ChromeOS Tablets, HarmonyOS NEXT, KaiOS, Series 30+, Linux mobile, etc.

I'm experiencing a critical issue with SwiftData custom migrations where objects created during migration appear to be inserted successfully but aren't persisted or found by queries after migration completes. The migration logs show objects being created, but subsequent queries return zero results.
