Hi there, I'm facing an issue when disconnecting CarPlay that the navigation session seems to be in some weird state where it is not properly finished. So when I reconnect CarPlay the "Metadata in instrument cluster or HUD" does not update anymore until I start another navigation session and stop that one. You can see that the instruction to the left on this screen recording is not updating anymore after a reconnect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sncxyJULjQk I have a modified the CostalRoad sample app to add support for the HUD cluster and to auto start a navigation simulation when CarPlay connects. https://github.com/g4rb4g3/CoastalRoads Can anyone tell me what I have to do when CarPlay disconnect so I can start a new navigation session on reconnect that has a working HUD cluster? Fun fact is that Apple Maps handles this quite nice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpJEIyGcwdo), it somehow manages to finish the navigation session and brings up the HUD cluster just fine on reconnect. I wonder how I can achieve the same, anyone having an idea on that?

I'm currently working on transitioning to StoreKit 2. In order to see if my users are legacy users who purchased the app before I implemented an in-app purchase, I am trying to use the original purchase date for the app. Unfortunately, it's returning 0 seconds since 1970. func updateOriginalPurchaseStatus() async throws { let transaction = try await checkVerified(AppTransaction.shared) self.originalPurchaseVersion = transaction.originalAppVersion self.originalPurchaseDate = transaction.originalPurchaseDate } This is from the transaction: [3] = { key = "originalPurchaseDate" value = number (number = 0) } Currently trying to figure out when I actually purchased the app, but it might be as early as 2012. And I likely used a download code.

My MacOS swift app [myStuckApp5] refuses to close when running on Monterrey (The app becomes unresponsive after finishing its work, and needs to be forcefully closed). However, it closes as expected when running MacOS 13 and above. How can I troubleshoot this error? I'm attaching the content of the sys Log related to the app while it was stuck (too long to copy here...) This is the content of the related sys Log

I am developing a macOS non-interactive macOS application which does not show any ui. i want to block main thread and do all the work on worker thread . Once done with work in worker thread, want to unblock main thread by exiting event loop to terminate application. Because i dont want to show any UI or use any Foundation/Cocoa functionality, i am thinking of using CFRunLoop to block main thread from exiting until i finish my work in worker thread. When i tried this in a project, I am able to finish work in worker thread after block main thread using CFRunLoop. I also want this application to be a bundled application, which can be launched by double clicking on application bundle . But when i tried it in my xcode project by launching it using double clicking on application bundle, application keeps on toggling/bouncing in the dock menu with a status "Not responding". Although i am able to complete my work in worker thread. import Foundation let runLoop = CFRunLoopGetCurrent() func workerTask() { DispatchQueue.global().async { print("do its work") sleep(5) // do some work print("calling exit event loop") CFRunLoopStop(runLoop) print ("unblocking main thread") } } workerTask () // blocking main thread print ("blocked main thread") CFRunLoopRun() print ("exit") Why i am getting this application bouncing in doc menu behavior ? I tried by using NSApplicationMain instead of CFRunLoop in my project, in that case i didnt get this behavior . Does NSApplicationMain does some extra work before starting NSRunLoop which i am not doing while using CFRunLoop, which is showing this toggling/Bouncing application icon in Dock menu ? or Is this bouncing app icon issue is related to run loop i am using which is CFRunLoop ? Note : If i dont use a bundled application and use a commandline application then i am able to do all steps in worker thread and exit main thread as i wanted after finishing my work . But i need to do all this in application which can be launched using double clicking (bundled applcation). If not by using CFRunLoop, then how can i achive this ? - Create a application which shows no UI and do all work in worker thread while main thread is blocked. Once work is done unblock main thread and exit. And user should be able to launch application using double click the application icon.

Hi, I'm developing a bluetooth peripheral. During factory reset I generate a new IRK and drop any bond information it has. When I then try to bond again with the device iOS returns bonding failed with 0x08 (unspecified reason). I assume that iOS somehow still thinks my reset device is the same as the device it has already bonded with. What information about the device is it using to draw this conclusion? Bonding works if I remove the "pre-reset" peripheral from the iOS list of bluetooth devices. Regards

I've successfully started the Live Caller ID Lookup example and initialized the PIRService. I added several identities to the input.txtpb file, some with block: true and others with block: false. Here is the file but modified phone digits: identities { key: "+40790123123" value { name: "Blocking 1" cache_expiry_minutes: 7 block: true } } identities { key: "+972526111111" value { name: "Blocking 2" cache_expiry_minutes: 7 block: true } } identities { key: "+123" value { name: "Adam" cache_expiry_minutes: 8 block: false category: IDENTITY_CATEGORY_PERSON } } identities { key: "+972526111112" value { name: "Identified Business Name 1" cache_expiry_minutes: 1 block: false category: IDENTITY_CATEGORY_BUSINESS } } identities { key: "+972526111113" value { name: "Identified Business Name 2" cache_expiry_minutes: 1 block: false category: IDENTITY_CATEGORY_BUSINESS } } The main issue is that only the number marked as +40790123123 was actually blocked, while "Blocking 2" appeared as identified contacts with their assigned name displayed. Notably, the only blocked number was a foreign number with a different country code than the number being called. The other numbers belonged to the same country. Can someone clarify whether this is a bug in the example project or an issue with the data file?

I am currently facing an issue when trying to enable Shortcut support and would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving it. I have successfully enabled Shortcut support, and I can find my app and its respective functionalities within the Shortcuts app. However, I am unable to locate my app when attempting to create an automation within Shortcuts. I would appreciate any guidance or solutions you may offer regarding this matter.

I am implementing a custom migration, and facing an issue while implementing a WAL checkpointing. Here is the code for WAL checkpointing func forceWALCheckpointingForStore(at storeURL: URL, model: NSManagedObjectModel) throws { let persistentStoreCoordinator = NSPersistentStoreCoordinator(managedObjectModel: model) let options = [NSSQLitePragmasOption: ["journal_mode": "DELETE"]] let store = try persistentStoreCoordinator.addPersistentStore(type: .sqlite, at: storeURL, options: options) try persistentStoreCoordinator.remove(store) } When the coordinator tries to add the store I am getting the following error fault: Store opened without NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey but previously had been opened with NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey - Forcing into Read Only mode store My questions are Is it really necessary to force WAL checkpointing before migration? I am expecting NSMigrationManager to handle it internally. I am assuming this because the migrateStore function asks for the sourceType where I am passing StoreType.sqlite If checkpointing is required, then how do I address the original issue Note: Since my app supports macOS 13, I am not able to use the newly introduced Staged migrations. There is similar question on Stackoverflow that remains unanswered. https://stackoverflow.com/q/69131577/1311902

Hi everyone, I’m struggling to get StoreKit 2 to fetch products in my SwiftUI app while using a sandbox user. I think I’ve followed all necessary setup steps in Xcode, App Store Connect, and my physical test device, but Product.products(for:) always returns an empty array. I’d appreciate any insights! What I’ve Done Local App Setup (Xcode 16.2) Created a blank SwiftUI Xcode project. Enabled In-App Purchase capability under Signing & Capabilities. Implemented minimal StoreKit 2 code to fetch available products (see below). Using the correct bundle identifier, which matches App Store Connect. App Store Connect Configuration Registered the app with the same bundle identifier. Created an Auto-Renewable Subscription with: Product ID: v1 (matches my code). All fields filled (pricing, localization, etc.). Status: Ready for Review. Linked the subscription to the latest app version in App Store Connect. Sandbox User & Testing Setup Created a sandbox tester account. Logged in with the sandbox user under Settings → Developer → Sandbox Apple ID. This was on my physical device (iOS 18.2). Installed and ran the app directly from Xcode (⌘+R). Issue: StoreKit Returns No Products Product.products(for:) does not return any products. There are no errors thrown, just an empty array. I confirmed that StoreKit Configuration is set to None in Xcode. No StoreKit-related logs appear in the Console. Code Snippets //StoreKitManager.swift import StoreKit import SwiftUI @MainActor class StoreKitManager: ObservableObject { @Published var products: [Product] = [] @Published var errorMessage: String? func fetchProducts() async { do { let productIDs: Set<String> = ["v1"] // Matches App Store Connect let fetchedProducts = try await Product.products(for: productIDs) print(fetchedProducts) // Debug output DispatchQueue.main.async { self.products = fetchedProducts } } catch { DispatchQueue.main.async { self.errorMessage = "Failed to fetch products: \(error.localizedDescription)" } } } } //ContentView.swift import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @StateObject private var storeKitManager = StoreKitManager() var body: some View { VStack { if let errorMessage = storeKitManager.errorMessage { Text(errorMessage).foregroundColor(.red) } else if storeKitManager.products.isEmpty { Text("No products available") } else { List(storeKitManager.products, id: \.id) { product in VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text(product.displayName).font(.headline) Text(product.description).font(.subheadline) Text("\(product.price.formatted(.currency(code: product.priceFormatStyle.currencyCode ??

Hello, I’m trying to change the business model of my app to in-app subscriptions. My goal is to ensure that previous users who paid for the app have access to all premium content seamlessly, without even noticing any changes. I’ve tried using RevenueCat for this, but I’m not entirely sure it’s working as expected. I would like to use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions, so I’m attempting a hybrid model. On the first launch of the updated app, the plan is to validate the app receipts, extract the originalAppVersion, and store it in a variable. If the original version is lower than the latest paid version, the isPremium variable is set to true, and this status propagates throughout the app. For users with versions equal to or higher than the latest paid version, RevenueCat will handle the subscription status—checking if a subscription is active and determining whether to display the paywall for premium features. In a sandbox environment, it seems to work fine, but I’ve often encountered situations where the receipt doesn’t exist. I haven’t found a way to test this behavior properly in production. For example, I uploaded the app to TestFlight, but it doesn’t validate the actual transaction for a previously purchased version of the app. Correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems TestFlight doesn’t confirm whether I installed or purchased a paid version of the app. I need to be 100% sure that users who previously paid for the app won’t face any issues with this migration. Is there any method to verify this behavior in a production-like scenario that I might not be aware of? I’m sharing the code here to see if you can confirm that it will work as intended or suggest any necessary adjustments. func fetchAppReceipt(completion: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) { // Check if the receipt URL exists guard let receiptURL = Bundle.main.appStoreReceiptURL else { print("Receipt URL not found.") requestReceiptRefresh(completion: completion) return } // Check if the receipt file exists at the given path if !FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: receiptURL.path) { print("The receipt does not exist at the specified location. Attempting to fetch a new receipt...") requestReceiptRefresh(completion: completion) return } do { // Read the receipt data from the file let receiptData = try Data(contentsOf: receiptURL) let receiptString = receiptData.base64EncodedString() print("Receipt found and encoded in base64: \(receiptString.prefix(50))...") completion(true) } catch { // Handle errors while reading the receipt print("Error reading the receipt: \(error.localizedDescription). Attempting to fetch a new receipt...") requestReceiptRefresh(completion: completion) } } func validateAppReceipt(completion: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) { print("Starting receipt validation...") guard let receiptURL = Bundle.main.appStoreReceiptURL else { print("Receipt not found on the device.") requestReceiptRefresh(completion: completion) completion(false) return } print("Receipt found at URL: \(receiptURL.absoluteString)") do { let receiptData = try Data(contentsOf: receiptURL, options: .alwaysMapped) print(receiptData) let receiptString = receiptData.base64EncodedString(options: []) print("Receipt encoded in base64: \(receiptString.prefix(50))...") let request = [ "receipt-data": receiptString, "password": "c8bc9070bf174a8a8df108ef6b8d2ae3" // Shared Secret ] print("Request prepared for Apple's validation server.") guard let url = URL(string: "https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt") else { print("Error: Invalid URL for Apple's validation server.") completion(false) return } print("Validation URL: \(url.absoluteString)") var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: url) urlRequest.httpMethod = "POST" urlRequest.httpBody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: request) URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: urlRequest) { data, response, error in if let error = error { print("Error sending the request: \(error.localizedDescription)") completion(false) return } guard let data = data else { print("No response received from Apple's server.") completion(false) return } print("Response received from Apple's server.") do { if let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: data) as? [String: Any] { print("Response JSON: \(json)") // Verify original_application_version if let receipt = json["receipt"] as? [String: Any], let appVersion = receipt["original_application_version"] as? String { print("Original application version found: \(appVersion)") // Save the version in @AppStorage savedOriginalVersion = appVersion print("Original version saved in AppStorage: \(appVersion)") if let appVersionNumber = Double(appVersion), appVersionNumber < 1.62 { print("Original version is less than 1.62. User considered premium.") isFirstLaunch = true completion(true) } else { print("Original version is not less than 1.62. User is not premium.") completion(false) } } else { print("Could not find the original application version in the receipt.") completion(false) } } else { print("Error parsing the response JSON.") completion(false) } } catch { print("Error processing the JSON response: \(error.localizedDescription)") completion(false) } }.resume() } catch { print("Error reading the receipt: \(error.localizedDescription)") requestReceiptRefresh(completion: completion) completion(false) } } Some of these functions might seem redundant, but they are intended to double-check and ensure that the user is not a previous user. Is there any way to be certain that this will work when the app is downloaded from the App Store? Thanks in advance!

Hi team, I'm developing a feature that's collecting the device locations for home security app. We've been following https://developer.apple.com/documentation/corelocation/creating-a-location-push-service-extension apns-push-type set to location. apns-priority set to 5. during testing, we found that the device's notification extension cannot be triggered after device going into lock screen for 10 mins. Wonder should we set the priority to 10? Thanks!

Some of my users reported they can not completed the purchase . According to the logs and screen captures . Their purchase progress's last status are "purchasing" func paymentQueue(_ queue: SKPaymentQueue, updatedTransactions transactions: [SKPaymentTransaction]) { .... .... case .purchasing: // 处理正在购买的情况 //print("购买中"); AppDelegate.log.debug("paymentQueue purchasing"); LoadingAlert.shared.setText(text: "购买中".localized()) .... After this ，It neither entered any error branch nor prompted the user to confirm the purchase or enter a password, but simply stopped here. There are no other purchase-related logs, and the program is still running normally. At the same time, other users are able to complete their purchases without any issues. However, there have been 4-5 users recently who reported problems with purchasing. What could be the possible reasons? In my local environment, I repeated the test many times, including using sandbox users from different regions and real Apple IDs, and everything worked fine. // // Payment.swift // RadialMenu // // Created by pat on 2023/6/26. // import Foundation import StoreKit class Payment:NSObject,SKProductsRequestDelegate,SKPaymentTransactionObserver{ func paymentQueue(_ queue: SKPaymentQueue, updatedTransactions transactions: [SKPaymentTransaction]) { for transaction in transactions { AppDelegate.log.debug("paymentQueue transaction product = \(transaction.payment.productIdentifier) state = \(transaction.transactionState)"); //let productID = transaction.payment.productIdentifier switch transaction.transactionState { case .purchased,.restored: if(transaction.transactionState == .purchased){ AppDelegate.log.debug("paymentQueue purchased"); LoadingAlert.shared.setText(text: "已购买".localized()) } if(transaction.transactionState == .restored){ LoadingAlert.shared.setText(text: "已恢复".localized()) AppDelegate.log.debug("paymentQueue restored"); } //} break; case .failed: AppDelegate.log.debug("paymentQueue failed "); if let error = transaction.error as?

I’ve set up a focus filter, but the perform() method in SetFocusFilterIntent isn't called when the focus mode is toggled on or off on my iPhone since I updated to iOS 18 beta (22A5326f). I can reproduce the issue for my app, but focus filters are also broken for any third-party apps installed on my phone, so I guess it's not specific to how I've implemented my filter intent. This used to work perfectly on iOS 17. I didn't change a single line of code, and it broke completely on the latest iOS 18 beta. I've filed a bug report including a sysdiagnose (FB14715113). To the developers out there, is this something you are also observing in your apps?

I'm receiving the following error when attempting to validate an in‑app purchase receipt: Certificate verification failed at depth 0 : forge.pki.UnknownCertificateAuthority Certificate chain validation failed: Certificate is not trusted. This error occurs during the certificate chain validation process of the receipt's PKCS#7 container. My implementation uses node‑forge to decode the receipt, extract the embedded certificate chain, and verify that the chain properly links from the leaf certificate (which directly signed the receipt) through the intermediate certificate to the trusted Apple Inc. Root certificate. What the Error Indicates: "UnknownCertificateAuthority" at depth 0: This suggests that the leaf certificate in the receipt is not being recognized as part of a valid chain because it cannot be linked back to a trusted root in my CA store. "Certificate chain validation failed: Certificate is not trusted": This means that the entire certificate chain does not chain up to a trusted certificate authority (in this case, the Apple Inc. Root certificate) as expected. Steps Taken: I verified that the receipt is a valid PKCS#7 container. I extracted the certificate chain from the receipt. However, the receipt only provided the leaf certificate. I manually added the intermediate certificate (AppleWWDRCAG5.pem) to complete the chain. I loaded the official Apple Inc. Root certificate (AppleIncRootCertificate.pem) into my CA store. Despite these steps, the validation still fails at depth 0, indicating that the leaf certificate is not recognized as being issued by a trusted authority. Request for Assistance: Could you please help clarify the following points: Is the certificate chain for receipts (leaf → intermediate → Apple Inc. Root) as expected, or has there been any change in the chain that I should account for? Is there a recommended or updated intermediate certificate I should be using for receipt validation? Are there known issues or recent changes on Apple's side that might cause the leaf certificate to not be recognized as part of a valid chain? Any guidance to resolve this certificate chain validation error would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m developing an app called FindMyNet that allows users to find the best internet provider based on their postal code (CAP). The app is built with Xcode and the macOS simulator. I’ve set up a FastAPI backend that communicates with an Excel database containing internet provider data for each postal code. Unfortunately, when I try to run the app, I encounter an error that prevents me from retrieving data from the database and displaying the correct provider. Task <6B5C86B6-181A-4235-AE68-23AAF6645683>.<1> finished with error [1] Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=1 "Operation not permitted" UserInfo={_NSURLErrorFailingURLSessionTaskErrorKey=LocalDataTask <6B5C86B6-181A-4235-AE68-23AAF6645683>.<1>, _kCFStreamErrorDomainKey=1, _kCFStreamErrorCodeKey=1, _NSURLErrorRelatedURLSessionTaskErrorKey=( "LocalDataTask <6B5C86B6-181A-4235-AE68-23AAF6645683>.<1>" ), _NSURLErrorNWPathKey=satisfied (Path is satisfied), interface: en0[802.11], ipv4, dns, uses wifi} Problem description: • The FastAPI backend is running on a Raspberry Pi and communicates with the app via an HTTP request. • When I enter a postal code, the app should return the best provider for that region, but I only get a 500 error. • I’ve verified that the FastAPI server is running, but it seems there’s an issue with communication between the app and the server. Steps taken so far: • I’ve checked the logs on the FastAPI server, but there are no obvious errors. • I’ve manually tested the API using Postman, and it works fine, so the issue seems to be app-side. Support request: I’d like to understand better what could be causing this error and if anyone has had similar experiences. Any advice on diagnosing the problem or solutions for resolving it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

Here is an AppleScript script to make it possible double-click files in Finder so that they will be opened in Vim, by Normen Hansen: https://github.com/normen/vim-macos-scripts/blob/master/open-file-in-vim.applescript (it must be used from Automator). I try to simplify it and also to make it possible to use it without Automator. To use my own version, you only need to save it as application instead, like this: osacompile -o open-with-vim.app open-with-vim.applescript and then copy it to /Applications and set your .txt files to be opened using this app. Here it is, it alsmost works: -- https://github.com/normen/vim-macos-scripts/blob/master/open-file-in-vim.applescript -- opens Vim with file or file list -- sets current folder to parent folder of first file on open theFiles set command to {} if input is null or input is {} or ((item 1 in input) as string) is "" then -- no files, open vim without parameters set end of command to "vim;exit" else set firstFile to (item 1 of theFiles) as string tell application "Finder" to set pathFolderParent to quoted form of (POSIX path of ((folder of item firstFile) as string)) set end of command to "cd" &amp; space &amp; (pathFolderParent as string) set end of command to ";hx" -- e.g. vi or any other command-line text editor set fileList to {} repeat with i from 1 to (theFiles count) set end of fileList to space &amp; quoted form of (POSIX path of (item i of theFiles as string)) end repeat set end of command to (fileList as string) set end of command to ";exit" -- if Terminal &gt; Settings &gt; Profiles &gt; Shell &gt; When the shell exits != Don't close the window end if set command to command as string set myTab to null tell application "Terminal" if it is not running then set myTab to (do script command in window 1) else set myTab to (do script command) end if activate end tell return end open The only problem is the if block in the very beginning: if input is null or input is {} or ((item 1 in input) as string) is "" then What is wrong here? How to make it work? (Assuming it already works fine if AppleScript is used using Automator.)

Hi folks, We are trying to develop a widget on iPhone control center. We follow the Apple design guideline to export our resource file using custom icon and the button icon always show on debug build. However, when we deploy to TestFlight, under some scenario, such as app upgrade, we found that the icon image disappear occasionally. Anyone could help? Thank you in advance!

I have an app with Message Filtering Extension enabled and I have been experiencing unusual behaviour. When I send messages from local number to local number, the filtering is done correctly, but when I send messages from certain international number to my local number the messages are not filtered. I couldn't find any errors in Console. I see that the normalisation is correct, is there any specifications for SMS from certain countries? Or a reason why Message Filtering is not activated when a SMS is received?
