Hi Devs,
I’ve created an app intent shortcut for our Best Buy app. This shortcut is visible on iOS 17.2 and later. However, I’ve marked it to support iOS 16+ as shown below:
import AppIntents
@available(iOS 16.0, *)
struct LaunchIntent: OpenIntent {
why we are not able to see shortcuts for iOS 16?

I'm getting ILMessageFilterError.networkURLUnauthorized returned in a message filter extension when calling deferQueryRequestToServer().
Googling for people who have had the same error, they didn't include the associated domain in the containing app. However I have added that.
The server is set up at https://something.com:443, it has an apple association file located at https://something.com:443/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
I have added associated domains to the app and the app extension of:
messagefilter:something.com?mode=developer
webcredentials:something.com?mode=developer
Side question 1: are both needed or just the messagefilter?
Side question 2: should the domain include the port :443?
The server isn't publicly hosted hence I've appended ?mode=developer on the end as per the documentation.
The extension's info.plist has ILMessageFilterExtensionNetworkURL added as something.com
Question 3: Does this need the port adding too?
With everything set up according to the documentation, apart from the questions above, what might be the cause of getting networkURLUnauthorized returned?
My app is available in TestFlight but has been rejected in App Review with the review feedback that the app clip "just shows a blank screen".
However, in the TestFlight app, the App Clip works as expected and brings up the clip. It also works correctly from Xcode testing.
Any ideas on what the problem could be? It is using the default App Clip link (appclip.apple.com)
We have received user reports indicating that, while using our app for meetings, they occasionally encounter system unresponsiveness, ultimately leading to an unexpected black screen and system restart.
Our app's internal logs show normal operation during these incidents.
To assist in diagnosing the issue, we have collected system logs (WindowServer.ips) from affected users.
We would appreciate your assistance in analyzing these logs to help identify the root cause of the problem.
Thank you for your support and assistance.

Hello
I'd like to be able to rotate an mapkit.ImageAnnotation.
From this post on Stack Overflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78686475/need-to-style-a-mapkit-js-marker-annotation/78702266#78702266 I understand that it's possible, for example, to the following: map.annotations[0].element.style.cursor = "pointer"; and this works for me.
However, I need to do something like the following, but it doesn't work: map.annotations[0].element.style.transform = "rotate(90deg) ";
Any ideas how a mapkit.ImageAnnotation and mapkit.MarkerAnnotation can be rotated?
Thanks in advance
Sam
PLATFORM AND VERSION: iOS
Development environment: Xcode 15.4, macOS 14.4
PROBLEM iOS VERSION: iOS 17.2.1 ~ 18.1.1
DEVELOPMENT LANGUAGE: Object-C
Case-ID: 10969723
(Due to privacy concerns, I have hidden part of the URL and included the complete plain text in the email demo project with Case-ID: 10969723)
After our game was launched in Japan, a small number of Japanese users reported that they were unable to enter the game. After our investigation, we confirmed that the request under the yfy-api-oversea.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com domain name failed.
iOS NSURLSession API returns the following error:
Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1000 "無効なURL" UserInfo={_kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=22, NSUnderlyingError=0x3019e8030 {Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=-1000 "(null)" UserInfo={_NSURLErrorNWPathKey=satisfied (Path is satisfied), interface: en0[802.11], ipv4, ipv6, dns, proxy, uses wifi, _kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=22, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=1}}, _NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey=LocalDataTask .<7>, _NSURLErrorRelatedURLSessionTaskErrorKey=(

), NSLocalizedDescription=無効なURL, NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://yfy-api-oversea.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/init/info?channel_code=jpxxxxxxxxxxxxxxios×tamp=1735012505&sign=1617e4cf88b58df2aa90a6b3985a8ac2&game_code=XXXXX, NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://yfy-api-oversea.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/init/info?channel_code=jpxxxxxxxxxxxxxxios×tamp=1735012505&sign=1617e4cf88b58df2aa90a6b3985a8ac2&game_code=XXXXX, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=1}。
We have tried various methods but cannot reproduce this error (Code=-1000).
I can provide the following clues:
1、We have checked the server and confirmed that the request did not reach the server, but was intercepted by the iOS client and was not sent.
2、This problem does not seem to have much to do with the iOS system version. The system versions where the problem occurred are widely distributed: 17.2.1、17.7.1、17.5.1、17.6.1、17.7、18.0.1、18.1、18.1.1 e.g.
3、This problem seems to have nothing to do with the device model. The following models have experienced problems: iPhone16、iPhone 16 Pro、iPhone 14、iPhone 14 Plus、iPhone 14 Pro Max、iPhone 13、iPhone11 e.g.
4、By tracking the logs, some users who encountered the problem later recovered and the problem did not occur again(The user IP and iOS system restored by yourself have not changed). However, this problem persists for some users. Even if the iOS system is upgraded to the latest version, there are still problems.
5、The following two IPs are the IPs of users who encountered this problem (1.73.13.210, 153.252.131.136). But this problem seems to have nothing to do with IP. For some users who restored themselves, their IPs did not change, but the problem no longer occurred.
6、This problem seems to only occur in Japan. Mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong have never encountered this situation.
7、It doesn't seem to have anything to do with GET requests. Another login request (https://yfy-api-oversea.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/login/c/place) uses a POST request and will also encounter this error.
8、I wonder if it has something to do with the two symbol "-" in the domain name?
I checked Apple documentation and searched online, but couldn't find any more information. This problem cannot be reproduced either. Only technical requests can be initiated.
I provided a demo project (see email for Case-ID: 10969723)
Thanks.
I've been testing the Live CallerID feature using the Apple-provided local server example - live-caller-id-lookup-example. I've been running a local server with tunneling using ngrok for the initial setup. Everything was working perfectly with the following setup:
@main
final class CallerID: LiveCallerIDLookupProtocol {
var context: LiveCallerIDLookupExtensionContext {
LiveCallerIDLookupExtensionContext(
serviceURL: URL(string: "https://example-tunnel.ngrok.io")!,
tokenIssuerURL: URL(string: "https://example-tunnel.ngrok.io")!,
userTierToken: Data(base64Encoded: "BBBB")!
)
}
}
However, after I updated the URLs to the production ones, I encountered an issue:
@main
struct CallerID: LiveCallerIDLookupProtocol {
var context: LiveCallerIDLookupExtensionContext {
LiveCallerIDLookupExtensionContext(
serviceURL: URL(string: "https://example.net/")!,
tokenIssuerURL: URL(string: "https://example/issue")!,
userTierToken: Data(base64Encoded: "BBBB")!
)
}
}
The problem is that during calls or when updating PIR parameters, the application still attempts to connect to the initial ngrok tunnel URLs instead of using the new production URLs. I can confirm this because the logs on my local server show incoming requests, indicating that the application is still referencing the old ngrok tunnel URLs.
Steps I’ve taken to resolve the issue include:
Deleting and reinstalling the application.
Using reset(forExtensionWithIdentifier:)
Unfortunately, these attempts have not been successful. I even extracted the binary of the app and extension to inspect the strings, confirming that the correct production URLs are present.
The server was started with the following command:
PIRService --hostname 127.0.0.1 service-config.json
Could this be some sort of caching bug on the iOS side, or am I missing something?

It's my first time posting in this forum. Apple Intelligence is enabled by default in Workspace ONE (WS1). I was wondering if Apple Intelligence can access or process corporate data within (WS1) corporate apps, which are containerized?

I've noticed issues with logging in the Mac's console app for a very long time now (from Xcode 15?) but have just spent several hours trying to objectively observe and monitor what's going on and try to set up reliable logging. But I've totally been unable to and my conclusion is that logging just absolutely cannot be relied upon at all, its so chronically bad as to be unusable.
If I for example add some logging lines right at the start of didFinishLaunchingWithOptions() and use a variety of logging mechanisms NSLog(), print(),os_log_with_type(), OSLog() (AppDelegate is in Obj-C and calls Obj-C logging, then calls a swift function for Swift logging), then none of them are reliable.
If the app is build/installed via Xcode then logging is reliable within Xcode's console and also within the Mac's console app. But then if the app is uploaded/installed via Testflight it's a very different matter.
Sometimes, but not very often, the logging is as expected, but more often than not, some of it is missing. How much is missing seems totally random, sometimes its a little, sometimes its a lot, and something else that very very often happens is there's lots of duplicate logging, each logging line will appear 2 or three times.
Here's a very simple example to illustrate what happens (in this example for simplicity I'm just showing using NSLog, don't focus on that as I know NSLog is "old", its the exact same result regardless of how the logging is actually performed).
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
appDelegate = self;
NSLog(@"Log line 1");
NSLog(@"Log line 2");
NSLog(@"Log line 3");
NSLog(@"Log line 4");
NSLog(@"Log line 5");
When the app is downloaded from Testflight then only very rarely will I see 5 lines of logging, sometimes it'll be 4, sometimes 2, sometimes none. And quite often the logging is duplicated i.e. I might see for example in the Console app:
Log line 1
Log line 1
Log line 2
Log line 2
Log line 3
Log line 3
In general it's just totally unusable and unreliable. It just cannot be be used at all.
Why is it this bad? What can be done to make logging reliable and useful?
I've spent days and days reading the recommended approaches, trying things out, including the new stuff like OSLog etc. But it remains dreadful.
What is the recommended approach to make logging 100% reliable?
There's never any problem with Xcode's console, it's only with the Mac's console app. However, when an app is being tested which has been installed from Testflight then using Xcode's console can't be used. So If a QA team find problems with a Testflight build and attach the Console log its utterly useless as its contents are effectively random.

Hello!
I have a requirement to read the ICC Public Key Certificate from an EMV credit card to implement a payment validation flow.
Aa far as I understand, I can't use Core NFC for that task since it is not supposed to be used for reading sensitive credit card data and it might be rejected by Apple.
I'm trying to use Tap To Pay as it seems to offer some general card details.
Since Apple's documentation on this side is pretty limited, I'm struggling to understand what is a PaymentCardReader.Token and how can I create one?
Can anyone please help me with setting up Tap to Pay?
Dear Apple Support,
We are currently in the process of migrating from Apple Server Notifications v1 to v2. As you know, once we switch from v1 to v2 in App Store Connect, this change is irreversible. Our team needs to ensure that our backend environment, developed in Python with Django and using the app-store-server-library==1.5.0, is fully prepared to handle all possible notification types before making that final switch.
While we can receive a basic test notification from Apple, it doesn’t provide the range of data or scenarios (e.g., INITIAL_BUY, RENEWAL, GRACE_PERIOD, etc.) that our code must be able to process, store in our database, and respond to accordingly. Without comprehensive, example-rich raw notification data, we are left guessing the structure and full scope of incoming v2 notifications.
Could you please provide us with a set of raw, fully representative notification payloads for every notification type supported in v2? With these examples, we can simulate the entire lifecycle of subscription events, verify our logic, and confidently complete our migration.
Thank you very much for your assistance.
First of all :
Thanks for the great presentation (wwdc2023-10180), Siraj !
This new, simple API looks like what we've been looking for for easy manageable background location updates with 'automatic battery drain minimization' :-)
There were two questions that came to my mind. As far as I understood, the CLLocationUpdate.LiveConfiguration is used to help the location services to improve the location fixes.
Are there other options planned to specify the granularity of delivered locations e.g., how accurate the locations need to be (as the desiredAccuracy and distanceFilter settings for the olden CLLocationManager)?
Does the Implementation switch between significant location changes and regular, more expensive ways (like GPS hardware) or just deliver the most feasible accuracy available at the time of notification?
I'm just curious - if I get the most feasible granularity, everything is fine for me anyway :-)
Thanks again,
Michael
Currently, our company server is using the push service by calling APNS through the p8 certificate.
In this process, our server does not have a CA certificate or SSL certificate in use.
Only the p8 certificate is installed and only performs the role of calling APNS.
If it is used like this, is there no need to update the CA certificate separately?
Or do I have to apply a new SSL certificate and add the CA to it?
Can someone help me plz?

I am writing a SwiftData/SwiftUI app in which the user saves simple records, tagged with their current location. Core Location can take up to 10 seconds to retrieve the current location from its requestLocation() call.
I the main app I have wrapped the CLLocationManager calls with async implementations. I kick off a Task when a new record is created, and write the location to my @Model on the main thread when it completes.
A realistic use of the share extension doesn't give the task enough time to complete.
I can use performExpiringActivity to complete background processing after the share extension closes but this needs to be a synchronous block. Is there some way of using performExpiringActivity when relying on a delegate callback from something like Core Location?
我目前在做一个防止设备使用的位置是虚拟的,目前通过苹果的api无法直接判断位置来源于真实或虚拟。请问我该如何去判断它呢?

I have been trying to accept drops from Apple Mail which do supply data with type identifiers : com.apple.mail.email
The problem is that even though the drop says it does contain items for com.apple.mail.email it does provide the items for com.apple.mail.email.
Mail dropped from Microsoft Outlook however confirms to the protocols and returns the items for com.apple.mail.email
Is this a known issue with Apple Mail and is there are reason for what seems to be a non-compliance to it own standards in Apple Mail?
