Hi, We've implemented the new Live Activity Broadcast push notifications (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting-up-broadcast-push-notifications) and are testing this out in sandbox/development. Looking at our logs I can see that we tried to send 54 broadcast notifications the last hour. 16 of these failed with "429 Too Many Requests". We probably have no devices registered on any of the channels at the moment. These are all channels from the "Development" environment. Any pointers to what could be wrong? Regards, -Tommy

When developing a feature, we use GRPC for communication, and the phone needs to use cellular for external network access, as well as local WiFi access (WiFi cannot access the external network).

Hi Team, We are trying to set MDM with NETransparentProxyManager to auto-approve the proxy, but it did not work. We have tried the below Apple document for NETransparentProxyManager. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/vpn/transparentproxy. Attached is the config file. ApplicationProxy.VPN.mobileconfg.txt could you please suggest how to configure NETransparentProxyManager via MDM?

Hello, Apple Developer Team, Recently, we have encountered some rather tricky issues regarding different transactionIds but the same appAccountToken appearing in the JSON data returned when calling the Apple API /inApps/v1/transactions/. The situation is as follows: We obtained the order numbers from the payment receipts provided by the customer. The customer gave us two different order numbers. The payment date is July 9, 2024. By checking our server, we can see two different transactionIds. However, when calling /inApps/v1/transactions/, the JSON data we receive contains the same appAccountToken. The purchase dates for these two orders are very close to each other: transactionId1: July 9, 2024, 21:37:06 transactionId2: July 9, 2024, 21:37:00 Additional Information: 1)The server is using App Store Server API V2. 2)The client is using StoreKit V1. 3)Environment: Production. 4)type: Consumable This issue is not an isolated case. It occurs almost every month. We kindly request assistance from the Apple Developer Team to help us identify and resolve this issue. Thank you.

Hello, We a company that deals with alarm systems in hospitals and we would need to manage, for one of our apps, that the application, even if in the background, can be reactivated and brought to the foreground showing the type of alarm received. We learned of a Dutch company who, they say, thanks to a special agreement with Apple, managed to achieve this using Local Push. We have already done something similar with Android through Foreground services and we would like to do something similar for iOS too but at the moment we have not succeeded because it seems the OS of mobile devices does not allow it. Apart from the normal documentation on local push I can't find much other information about it. Is there anyone at apple who could help me? Thanks

I have an Electron app on macOS Sonoma (arm64 arch). It has a native addon (app.node) using node-addon-api. Recently it crashed, with the stack trace (given below). What is the AXSerializeCFType function inside the AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue function, and why did it crash there? AXUIElementRef systemWideElement = AXUIElementCreateSystemWide(); AXUIElementRef focusedApp = NULL; AXError error = AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue(systemWideElement, kAXFocusedApplicationAttribute, (CFTypeRef *)&focusedApp); The crash appears to be occurring in the last line of the code, where I am retrieving the focused app AXUIElementRef using AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue. I have already attempted to manually set systemWideElement to NULL, but AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue is not crashing; it is just returning an error kAXErrorIllegalArgument.

I'm trying to build an XCode project that contains an app and another target for the DriverKit, and run into the following linker issue: ld: file cannot be open()ed, errno=2 path=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/15.0.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.profile_driverkit.a in '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/15.0.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.profile_driverkit.a' clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) My project has Code Coverage enabled. I noticed that if I disabled Code Coverage for all targets, I would be able to build successfully, and the driverKit would work as expected. I wonder if it would be possible to build DriverKit without disabling code coverage. Thanks

hi, I am trying to schedule a UNNotificationRequest at a certain date using UNCalendarNotificationTrigger, and I also want to update the badge count accordingly. However the badge property in UNNotificationContent can only be set when adding UNNotificationRequest, not when the trigger is fired or notification is actually delivered. How can I set up-to-date badge count if notification is scheduled in the future? For example, if I scheduled notification A to 3 hours later with badge count 1, and in between I got notification B, badge count should be 2 when A is delivered but it will be 1. I am aware of didPresent delegate which can be used when app is in foreground when notification is delivered, but is there any delegate that is called when UNNotificationRequest is delivered and app is backgrounded or we are using NSE? Thanks.

I've followed all the advice on these forums regarding developing network extensions. I'm working on a FilterDataProvider using the SimpleFirewall example project as a starting point. The issue I run into is that the copy of the extension binary that the system manages does not get updated by the system when I copy a new application into the /Applications directory. Here's my workflow: Build and run the application from Xcode. I've added a pre-run action that copies the extension into a /Applications/SysExtDev folder so I don't have to disable SIP. Test & make changes to code Disable & remove the extension in Settings > Network > Filters & Proxies Build and run the application from Xcode. New app binary loads, but the old extension binary loads. I also notice that the app will report that the extension is already registered even when it's not present in the UI in System Settings. And when I enable the extension in the newly launched app, I don't see the full flow of confirmation dialogs, only one indicating that the app wants to filter network content. If I run: ❯ diff /Applications/SysExtDev/SimpleFirewall.app/Contents/Library/SystemExtensions/com.example.apple-samplecode.SimpleFirewall2U6G6353D3.SimpleFirewallExtension.systemextension/Contents/MacOS/com.example.apple-samplecode.SimpleFirewall2U6G6353D3.SimpleFirewallExtension /Library/SystemExtensions/44022C0D-8BBA-4783-8314-83195A516DB5/com.example.apple-samplecode.SimpleFirewall2U6G6353D3.SimpleFirewallExtension.systemextension/Contents/MacOS/com.example.apple-samplecode.SimpleFirewall2U6G6353D3.SimpleFirewallExtension Binary files ... and ... differ it indicates that the binaries are not the same. In order to resolve this issue I usually have to wait around for awhile and/or reboot the machine. I can't find any rhyme or reason to it. I've tried removing the old app from /Applications before building the new copy but that doesn't seem to help either. The way I know things are going to work is, if when I launch and enable the extension, I see the full onboarding flow asking me to open settings and allow under privacy and security. I have tried running $ systemextensionsctl uninstall 2U6G6353D3 com.example.apple-samplecode.SimpleFirewall2U6G6353D3.SimpleFirewallExtension but that requires SIP to be disabled. I'm really close to just throwing in the towel and developing with SIP disabled. However, I feel like I must be missing something. Do I need to bump the version every time? Do I need to kill the extension process with launchctl so it can be cleaned up? Do I have to tickle the launch services or sfl db? What am I missing?

Hello guys! I would appreciate your help. I am developing an app (next to my webapp). In this app users can register as either owners of moving company or as the customers. Moving company owners can list their company like a directory/business listing. The app is free to use for customers and also for company owners except if you want to list your moving company to be able to get clients and sell your physical service. Now i have a subscription plan in mind so the moving company can list itself, which will also be listen on my webapp as the databank is shared. According to someone this doesnt require IAP, because at the end the company is paying for the listing, to help him sell his physical service. next to it, i also want to get provision for each time the moving company gets a client through our app and pays through our app. thirdly, i was planning to offer sponsored Listing, which will aswell work for my webapp. Meaning if someone pays for sponsored listing on my app he gets sponsored on my webapp aswell and vice versa. And lastly, the subscription plan has an upgrade package where moving companies can get leads aswell. Like the first thing someone told me that it shouldnt require IAP as the end service us physical and thats where i am helping out. Now i wanted to be safe than sorry and wanted to know what you guys say. Is is allowed without IAP? Where do i need IAP and where can i for example use Stripe? Are there any ways to go around IAP? I have already read the guidelines but it seems my app functions fall between them (probably) as the sponsored Listings are also on webapp if bought in mobile app aswell as the physical services that are promoted and sold through our subscription, where we dont really offer a digital service. I would really appreciate your help very much, and i thank you for reading all this.

Hello, I am developing an application for the Apple Watch that requires the screen to remain active even when the wrist is moved into a down position. The core functionality of my app involves providing continuous visual and auditory guidance, and it's critical that the screen stays on without going into power-saving mode while the app is in use. Specifically, I am looking for a way to: 1.Disable the screen's power-saving mode when the wrist is moved down. 2.Ensure the screen remains active as long as the app is in the foreground. I understand that certain power management features are built into watchOS for battery conservation, but I would need this behavior to be overridden only while the application is running (the app would not be in the foreground for extended periods of time). Is there an approved method or best practice within Apple's guidelines to achieve either of these functionalities? Thank you for your assistance.

I know it said that the device activity report extension data cannot be extract but what about importing data to the report ?

I would like to know more about how I can use a bluetooth PTT device with the "Push to Talk" framework on iOS. I've enabled the setAccessoryButtonEventsEnabled on the PTChannelManager, but I am unable to get it to transmit when I press the PTT button on the device. Is there documentation that explains any additional steps I need to do in order to use a bluetooth PTT device with an iPhone using the Push to Talk framework? Our application works fine when interacting through the software UI. I'm testing with a PrymeMax PTT device. This is the user guide: https://www.pryme.com/files/manuals/MANUAL-BTH-550-MAX.pdf There are a lot of generic devices like this one that I would like to support. Can somebody provide more information on how this is accomplished? I would also like to support it with iOS versions older than iOS 17 if possible.

Hi, I'm using Multipeer Connectivity in my application and when I run it on my physical device, I receive following warning: NSNetServiceBrowser did not search with error dict [{ NSNetServicesErrorCode = "-72008"; NSNetServicesErrorDomain = 10; }]. I've found out that this is associated with not having proper permissions in info.plist according to https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/653316 I've set description for Privacy - Local Network Usage Description, however, I'm not able to find any key for setting my Bonjour Services. Also, I do not see any popup on my device displaying request to approve local network usage. Could you please provide me an information how can I register my privileges properly?

Upon taking a photo using the rear camera of my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I observed severe picture distortion. This issue severely undermines the functionality and reliability of the iPhone camera, raising serious concerns about its usability and trustworthiness.

Hi, I had a Content Filter network extension. It is successfully working until Sonoma. I try to install and activate same network extension on Sequoia beta Intel Mac. But even I haven't got any user consent to activate and allow it. I haven't found any entry in Network settings. Do we need to make any changes in Sequoia MacOs to make it work? Thank you.

I am using WeatherKit to display relevant weather information to the User in my App. I also thought it would be helpful to show any time-sensitive WeatherAlert. I would like to direct the User directly into the system Weather app to get more details/information. weather://open ... works... Is this a faux-pas? Is there a approved/proper way of doing this? I know WeatherAlert.detailsURL exists but I figured it may be useful for the User to see all details related to weather right from the source.

Hi, I'm using CloudKit to create an app that backs up and records your data to iCloud. Here's what I'm unsure about: I understand that the 'CloudKit Dashboard' has 'Security Roles'. I thought these were meant to set permissions for accessing and modifying users' data, but I found there was no change even when I removed all 'Permissions' from 'Default Roles'. Can you clarify? I'd like to know what _world, _icloud, and _creator in Default Roles mean respectively. I would like to know what changes the creation, read, and write permissions make. Is it better to just use the default settings? Here's what I understand so far: Default Roles: _world: I don't know _icloud: An account that is not my device but is linked to my iCloud _creator: My Device Permissions: create: Create data read: Read data write: Update and delete data. I'm not sure if I understand this correctly. Please explain.
