Don’t Try to Get the Device’s IP Address
For important background information, read Extra-ordinary Networking before reading this. Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@" + "apple.com" Don’t Try to Get the Device’s IP Address I regularly see questions like: How do I find the IP address of the device? How do I find the IP address of the Wi-Fi interface? How do I identify the Wi-Fi interface? I also see a lot of really bad answers to these questions. That’s understandable, because the questions themselves don’t make sense. Networking on Apple platforms is complicated and many of the things that are ‘obviously’ true are, in fact, not true at all. For example: There’s no single IP address that represents the device, or an interface. A device can have 0 or more interfaces, each of which can have 0 or more IP addresses, each of which can be IPv4 and IPv6. A device can have multiple interfaces of a given type. It’s common for iPhones to have multiple WWAN interfaces, for example. It’s not possible to give a simple answer to any of these questions, because the correct answer depends on the context. Why do you need this particular information? What are you planning to do with it? This post describes the scenarios I most commonly encounter, with my advice on how to handle each scenario. IMPORTANT BSD interface names, like en0, are not considered API. There’s no guarantee, for example, that an iPhone’s Wi-Fi interface is en0. If you write code that relies on a hard-coded interface name, it will fail in some situations. Service Discovery Some folks want to identify the Wi-Fi interface so that they can run a custom service discovery protocol over it. Before you do that, I strongly recommend that you look at Bonjour. This has a bunch of advantages: It’s an industry standard [1]. It’s going to be more efficient on the ‘wire’. You don’t have to implement it yourself, you can just call an API [2]. For information about the APIs available, see TN3151 Choosing the right networking API. If you must implement your own service discovery protocol, don’t think in terms of finding the Wi-Fi interface. Rather, write your code to work with all Wi-Fi interfaces, or perhaps even all Ethernet-like interfaces. That’s what Apple’s Bonjour implementation does, and it means that things will work in odd situations [3]. To find all Wi-Fi interfaces, get the interface list and filter it for ones with the Wi-Fi functional type. To find all broadcast-capable interfaces, get the interface list and filter it for interfaces with the IFF_BROADCAST flag set. If the service you’re trying to discover only supports IPv4, filter out any IPv6-only interfaces. For advice on how to do this, see Interface List and Network Interface Type in Network Interface APIs. When working with multiple interfaces, it’s generally a good idea to create a socket per interface and then bind that socket to the interface. That ensures that, when you send a packet, it’ll definitely go out the interface you expect. For more information on how to implement broadcasts correctly, see Broadcasts and Multicasts, Hints and Tips. [1] Bonjour is an Apple term for: RFC 3927 Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses RFC 6762 Multicast DNS RFC 6763 DNS-Based Service Discovery [2] That’s true even on non-Apple platforms. It’s even true on most embedded platforms. If you’re talking to a Wi-Fi accessory, see Working with a Wi-Fi Accessory. [3] Even if the service you’re trying to discover can only be found on Wi-Fi, it’s possible for a user to have their iPhone on an Ethernet that’s bridged to a Wi-Fi. Why on earth would they do that? Well, security, of course. Some organisations forbid their staff from using Wi-Fi. Logging and Diagnostics Some folks want to log the IP address of the Wi-Fi interface, or the WWAN, or both for diagnostic purposes. This is quite feasible, with the only caveat being there may be multiple interfaces of each type. To find all interfaces of a particular type, get the interface list and filter it for interfaces with that functional type. See Interface List and Network Interface Type in Network Interface APIs. Interface for an Outgoing Connection There are situations where you need to get the interface used by a particular connection. A classic example of that is FTP. When you set up a transfer in FTP, you start with a control connection to the FTP server. You then open a listener and send its IP address and port to the FTP server over your control connection. What IP address should you use? There’s an easy answer here: Use the local IP address for the control connection. That’s the one that the server is most likely to be able to connect to. To get the local address of a connection: In Network framework, first get the currentPath property and then get its localEndpoint property. In BSD Sockets, use getsockname. See its man page for details. Now, this isn’t a particularly realistic example. Most folks don’t use FTP these days [1] but, even if they do, they use FTP passive mode, which avoids the need for this technique. However, this sort of thing still does come up in practice. I recently encountered two different variants of the same problem: One developer was implementing VoIP software and needed to pass the devices IP address to their VoIP stack. The best IP address to use was the local IP address of their control connection to the VoIP server. A different developer was upgrading the firmware of an accessory. They do this by starting a server within their app and sending a command to the accessory to download the firmware from that server. Again, the best IP address to use is the local address of the control connection. [1] See the discussion in TN3151 Choosing the right networking API. Listening for Connections If you’re listening for incoming network connections, you don’t need to bind to a specific address. Rather, listen on all local addresses. In Network framework, this is the default for NWListener. In BSD Sockets, set the address to INADDR_ANY (IPv4) or in6addr_any (IPv6). If you only want to listen on a specific interface, don’t try to bind to that interface’s IP address. If you do that, things will go wrong if the interface’s IP address changes. Rather, bind to the interface itself: In Network framework, set either the requiredInterfaceType property or the requiredInterface property on the NWParameters you use to create your NWListener. In BSD Sockets, set the IP_BOUND_IF (IPv4) or IPV6_BOUND_IF (IPv6) socket option. How do you work out what interface to use? The standard technique is to get the interface list and filter it for interfaces with the desired functional type. See Interface List and Network Interface Type in Network Interface APIs. Remember that their may be multiple interfaces of a given type. If you’re using BSD Sockets, where you can only bind to a single interface, you’ll need to create multiple listeners, one for each interface. Listener UI Some apps have an embedded network server and they want to populate a UI with information on how to connect to that server. This is a surprisingly tricky task to do correctly. For the details, see Showing Connection Information for a Local Server. Outgoing Connections In some situations you might want to force an outgoing connection to run over a specific interface. There are four common cases here: Set the local address of a connection [1]. Force a connection to run over a specific interface. Force a connection to run over a type of interface. Force a connection to run over an interface with specific characteristics. For example, you want to download some large resource without exhausting the user’s cellular data allowance. The last case should be the most common — see the Constraints section of Network Interface Techniques — but all four are useful in specific circumstances. The following sections explain how to tackle these tasks in the most common networking APIs. [1] This implicitly forces the connection to use the interface with that address. For an explanation as to why, see the discussion of scoped routing in Network Interface Techniques. Network Framework Network framework has good support for all of these cases. Set one or more of the following properties on the NWParameters object you use to create your NWConnection: requiredLocalEndpoint property requiredInterface property prohibitedInterfaces property requiredInterfaceType property prohibitedInterfaceTypes property prohibitConstrainedPaths property prohibitExpensivePaths property Foundation URL Loading System URLSession has fewer options than Network framework but they work in a similar way: Set one or more of the following properties on the URLSessionConfiguration object you use to create your session: allowsCellularAccess property allowsConstrainedNetworkAccess property allowsExpensiveNetworkAccess property Note While these session configuration properties are also available on URLRequest, it’s better to configure this on the session. There’s no option that forces a connection to run over a specific interface. In most cases you don’t need this — it’s better to use the allowsConstrainedNetworkAccess and allowsExpensiveNetworkAccess properties — but there are some situations where that’s necessary. For advice on this front, see Running an HTTP Request over WWAN. BSD Sockets BSD Sockets has very few options in this space. One thing that’s easy and obvious is setting the local address of a connection: Do that by passing the address to bind. Alternatively, to force a connection to run over a specific interface, set the IP_BOUND_IF (IPv4) or IPV6_BOUND_IF (IPv6) socket options.

How to get the full process name like Activity Monitor
I'm try to monitor all processes by ES client. But I found the process name is different from the Activity Monitor displayed. As shown in the picture below, there are ShareSheetUI(Pages) and ShareSheetUI(Finder) processes in Activity Monitor, but I can only get the same name ShareSheetUI, I thought of many ways to display the name in parentheses, but nothing worked, so there is a way to display the process name like Activity Monitor?

WeatherKit Swift API -metadata reportedTime
Hi there, I am using WeatherKit to display weather forecast information in an app. I would like to include some information about when the weather forecast was issued for my users to see. This information is included in the response Metadata as documented in the WeatherKit REST API docs: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/weatherkitrestapi/metadata Specifically there is a “reportedTime” property which I would like to use here. However I am consuming WeatherKit via the Swift API, I don’t see this property available via the Swift APIs. How can I access the reportedTime property via the WeatherKit Swift APIs? Or is it not exposed via the Swift APIs?

Workout not showing for import on Strava
I have a workout app which I am testing on device currently via TestFlight. The generated workout (tennis and indoor) shows in the fitness app with correct HR and duration. However, when I go to my Strava app, it does not show in the list of workouts for importing. (note, activities tracked using the regular tennis mode on the Apple Watch show fine) I have also concurrently reached out to Strava support to see if there's anything they can offer support for. However, does anybody here have any knowledge/experience of the requirement? Or whether this is a limitation of an application deployed via TestFlight? I have a terrible feeling I am chasing ghosts, and it may be a TestFlight limitation for exporting workouts? Thanks

Deployment Target for iOS app running on a Mac with Apple Silicon
Currently, I am working on an iOS app with a Deployment Target set to iOS 15.0, and macOS 12.0. The app is allowed to run on Macs with Apple Silicon. A customer with a Mac running macOS Monterey (12) is complaining that in the TestFlight app, they cannot install the app since it shows "Requires OS Update", even though the deployment target is smaller than the installed version of macOS 12. Are there any specifications available on which macOS version is required in order to use iOS apps on Silicon Macs?

"InvalidProviderToken" with APN push service when using code-generated token
Problem We have successfully set up push notifications using Apple APN service, that is push notifications work when using a token generated using the JSON Web Token Generator in the Push Notification console. However, we get an "InvalidProviderToken" error when creating using our own token using the following code. The Key and TeamID is definitely correct (obviously, censored in the below code). When pasting our token in the JSON Web Token Validator in the Push Notification console we get the error „Invalid signing key“. We merely pasted our secret key in our setNewTokenIfNeeded code, separated on four lines using the “““ style. Does anyone know why this error happens? Given that it works when we upload our .p8 file to the JSON Web Token Generator and we simply paste the text of this file (excluding the lines with "-----BEGIN/END PRIVATE KEY-----") I guess our secret key is correct? Code to generate token fileprivate var currentToken: String? fileprivate var currentTokenCreateTime: Date? fileprivate func setNewTokenIfNeeded() { // Ensure, token is at least 20 minutes but at most 60 minutes old if let currentTokenCreateTime = currentTokenCreateTime { let ageOfTokenInSeconds = abs(Int(currentTokenCreateTime.timeIntervalSinceNow)) NSLog("Age of token: \(Int(ageOfTokenInSeconds / 60)) minutes.") if ageOfTokenInSeconds <= 20 * 60 { return } } // Generate new token NSLog("Renewing token.") let secret = """ ABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABC+ABCABC+ABCABCABC+ABCABCAB/+ ABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABC+ABCABC+ABCABCABC+ABCABCAB/+ ABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABCABC+ABCABC+ABCABCABC+ABCABCAB/+ ABCABCAB """ let privateKey = SymmetricKey(data: Data(secret.utf8)) let headerJSONData = try!

I want to know why the "NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1000" error occurs and how to fix it?
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=( "LocalDataTask .<7>" ), NSLocalizedDescription=無効なURL, NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https://yfy-api-oversea.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/init/info?channel_code=jpxxxxxxxxxxxxxxios&timestamp=1735012505&sign=1617e4cf88b58df2aa90a6b3985a8ac2&game_code=XXXXX, NSErrorFailingURLKey=https://yfy-api-oversea.xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/init/info?channel_code=jpxxxxxxxxxxxxxxios&timestamp=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.

[In-App Purchase] first trial but "is_trial_period" false
This question is about In-App Purchase. This is an inquiry from one of our customers. We have set up a free trial. This is your first time using the service, but you have stated that you have been charged. Document. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstorereceipts/is_trial_period 「You can use this value to determine whether the specific record is in a subscription trial period. If a previous subscription period in the receipt has the value "true" for either the is_trial_period or is_in_intro_offer_period keys, the user is not eligible for a free trial or introductory price within that subscription group.」 Our expectation is that is_trial_period is true. Receipt is not contain is_trial_period : true or is_in_intro_offer_period : true. Only one case has occurred. Other customers are no problem.

HealthKit SDK Not Responding When Querying Step Data on iPhone 16 Pro Max
We have working code to fetch step data from HealthKit after requesting the necessary permissions. However, we’ve encountered an issue specific to one device, the iPhone 16 Pro Max. When querying the data, we do not receive a response, and the code enters an infinite loading state without completing the request. The user who is facing this issue has tried logging in on another device, and it works fine. On the problematic device (iPhone 16 Pro Max), the request does not complete. For reference, I’ve included the code below. Resolving this issue is crucial, so we would appreciate any guidance on what steps we can take to troubleshoot or resolve the problem on this specific device. Please note that the device has granted permission to access HealthKit data. static let healthStore = HKHealthStore() static func limitReadFromHealthKitBetweenDates(fromDate: Date, toDate: Date = Date(), completion: @escaping ([HKStatistics]) -> Void) { guard let stepsQuantityType = HKQuantityType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .stepCount) else { return } let ignoreUserEntered = HKQuery.predicateForObjects(withMetadataKey: HKMetadataKeyWasUserEntered, operatorType: .notEqualTo, value: true) let now = toDate var interval = DateComponents() interval.day = 1 var calendar = Calendar.current calendar.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX") var anchorComponents = calendar.dateComponents([.day, .month, .year], from: now) anchorComponents.hour = 0 let anchorDate = calendar.date(from: anchorComponents) ??

How to get the real app language code + variation?
Hello, I have the app localised to many languages and its variants, like English from Australia or Dutch from Belgium. My phone language is en_UK and the region is configured to ES. I cannot find a way to get the regional language code (ex: en_au, nl_be), it always gets simplified to the language (ex: en, nl), or adds my device region (ex: en-ES, nl-ES). Here I attach some examples while I have the app on en_au Locale.preferredLanguages ▿ 3 elements - 0 : "en-ES" - 1 : "ca-ES" - 2 : "es-ES" Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations ▿ 1 element - 0 : "en" NSLocale.current.languageCode ▿ Optional&lt;String&gt; - some : "en" Locale.current ▿ en_001@rg=eszzzz (fixed en_001@rg=eszzzz) - identifier : "en_001@rg=eszzzz" - locale : "fixed en_001@rg=eszzzz" Locale.autoupdatingCurrent.languageCode ▿ Optional&lt;String&gt; - some : "en" Locale.current.languageCode ▿ Optional&lt;String&gt; - some : "en" Locale.preferredLanguages[0] "en-ES"

App Clip works in TestFlight but not elsewhere
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)

Siri Shortcuts Response Templates No work on iOS18.1.1
I have shortcuts up and running and I have my custom response added to my completion handler since day1. Recently I upgraded to iOS18, and found out the app I develop can not display the custom response. I test the app on iOS17.6, the display of custom response is no problem. The situation is exactly like the problem posted on 2018: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/109324 Can anyone help me or have the same bugs? Thank you so much! Happy 2025

What are causes of networkURLUnauthorized in a message filter extension
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?
