Will UVC native support come for the Iphone as well? So, using external cameras with the ipad is greatly beneficial, but for the iphone, it can make it a production powerhouse! So, have there been discussions around bringing UVC support for the Iphone as well? and if so, what were your conclusions?

Hello, The purpose of "Screen Time Passcode" under Settings/Screen Time is to protect Screen Time preferences and it is asked every time the user updates Downtime, App Limits, Content & Privacy Restrictions and so on. But the private passcode is not requested if the user disables Screen Time for a particular app (only Face ID or phone passcode is requested, but not the private Screen Time passcode). I think this is a mistake, I think the purpose of a private Screen Time passcode is to protect all settings, including apps that use this API, right? Is there any solution to this? Thank you.

We persist ApplicationTokens in a storage container that ShieldConfigurationExtension has access to. In rare, cases all the ApplicationTokens for a user seem to change. We know this because the Application parameter passed into configuration(shielding application: Application) -> ShieldConfiguration function has a Token that does not match (using == ) any of the ones we are persisting in storage. Interestingly, the persisted ones still work, so I don't believe storage has gotten corrupted or anything. We can use them to add or remove shields, we can use them to display labels of the apps they represent, etc. But they don’t match what’s passed into the ShieldConfiguration extension. If the user goes into the FamilyPicker at this point and selects an app of a token that we are already persisting, the FamilyPickerSelection will have a token matching the new one that is passed into ShieldConfigurationExtension, not the one we persisted when they last selected that app. This leads me to believe the tokens are updated/rotated in some cases. When and why does this happen, and how can we handle it gracefully?

I couldn't find any mention in the Wi-Fi Aware documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation/WiFiAware about the possibilities of the Wi-Fi Aware connection during the app working in the background execution mode (background state). Does the framework keep the connection alive when the app goes to the background state? Is there anything similar concept to CoreBluetooth state restoration available in the case of the Wi-Fi Aware framework?

I'm trying to embed a self-built copy of the WebKit frameworks to a macOS app. Most importantly I hope to get some features to work which Safari offers, but WKWebView in macOS doesn't (getDisplayMedia, Service Workers, WebInspector). Many years ago I was successful in using a self-built WebKit copy in this Mac app, but it seems the WebKit framework got more complex since them, I guess because of WKWebView's architecture. That time I had to open the projects for the main frameworks in Xcode, select the framework bundle in the target and change the "Installation Directory" setting to the path @executable_path/../Frameworks. After building WebKit using the build script, I could use otool -L to confirm the changed installation path, which then was displayed for example as @executable_path/../Frameworks/WebCore.framework/Versions/A/WebCore I tried the same with a current WebKit build: I copied the products for WebKit.framework, WebCore.framework, JavaScriptCore.framework, WebKitLegacy.framework, WebGPU.framework and WebInspectorUI.framework to my app and added it to the "Frameworks, Libraries and Embedded Content" section in the Project's Target/General tab and selected "Embed & Sign" for each framework. In "Build Phases" I made sure that WebCore.framework and WebGPU.framework are only in the "Copy Files" phase (Destination Frameworks) and not in "Link Binary with Libraries", as WebCore is linked through the WebKit umbrella framework and WebGPU gave another error (not sure about how to deal with that framework, as in the system it's in a PrivateFrameworks subfolder). In "Build Settings" I made sure that @executable_path/../Frameworks is entered for "Runpath Search Paths" (it was already probably because of Cocoapods, together with @loader_path/../Frameworks. When I build my app, the system's WebKit version is used. Only when I add the environment variable DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH with value @executable_path/../Frameworks in the run scheme, the embedded self-build WebKit frameworks are used. Because of currently necessary backward compatibility my app can use the legacy WebView or WKWebView. The legacy WebView works perfectly with the embedded WebKitLegacy.framework. But if I try to open any URL in WKWebView, no content is rendered and in the console output I can see: Safe Exam Browser[21391:145678] [Process] 0x10c67d760 - [PID=0] WebProcessProxy::didFinishLaunching: Invalid connection identifier (web process failed to launch) Safe Exam Browser[21391:145678] [Process] 0x10c67d760 - [PID=0] WebProcessProxy::processDidTerminateOrFailedToLaunch: reason=4 Safe Exam Browser[21391:145678] [ProcessSuspension] 0x10c005040 - [PID=0, throttler=0x10c67d8d8] ProcessThrottler::Activity::invalidate: Ending background activity / 'WebProcess initialization' Safe Exam Browser[21391:145678] [Process] 0x10c67d760 - [PID=0] WebProcessProxy::shutDown: Safe Exam Browser[21391:145678] [Process] 0x7fbe89064020 - [pageProxyID=40, webPageID=41, PID=0] WebPageProxy::processDidTerminate: (pid 0), reason 4 2022-02-14 12:53:01.764074+0100 Safe Exam Browser[21391:145678] [Process] 0x10c67d760 - [PID=0] WebProcessProxy::processTerminated: Safe Exam Browser[21391:145678] [Loading] 0x7fbe89064020 - [pageProxyID=40, webPageID=41, PID=0] WebPageProxy::dispatchProcessDidTerminate: reason=Crash Safe Exam Browser[21391:146842] [SEBOSXWKWebViewController webViewWebContentProcessDidTerminate:<Safe_Exam_Browser.SEBOSXWKWebView: 0x7fbe88f8b1c0>] I have the impression that the web process might fail to launch because I didn't embed all necessary parts of the self-built WebKit (the product folder contains a large number of XPC, dylib and .a files). Or some additional paths have to be adjusted before building WebKit, so that the embedded frameworks/libraries are used and not the system provided ones. I also looked at the bundle of the Safari Technology Preview and can see some similarities but also differences. I would be grateful if anybody could provide me with information how to embed a self-built copy of WebKit into a macOS app. Unfortunately I didn't find any Mac open source browser using an embedded copy of WebKit to get some inspiration from.

Hi, In macOS26 beta, our app icon is not showing anymore in the MenuBar. It is also not displayed in the new section "Menu Bar > Allow in the Menu Bar", which seems to be the way to show/hide Menu Bar icons in macOS 26. The icon is correctly displayed and working in macOS 15. Our app is signed and notarized. It also has the "LSUIElement" value set to "true" in the Info.plist file. Is there some new mandatory entitlements to add in order to have our app showing in the "Allow in the Menu Bar" section? Thanks in advance for your help. Regards

I've suddenly started seeing hundreds of the same block of four error messages (see attached image) when running my app on my iOS device through Xcode. I've tried Cleaning the Build folder, but I keep seeing these messages in the console but can't find anything about them. Phone is running iOS 26.1. Xcode is at 16.4. Mac is on Sequoia 15.5.

Hi there 👋🏻 We are facing an issue that started on 24 June 2025 where some users that have an active subscription with an offer are not being able to use/restore their subscription since Transaction.currentEntitlements is empty. We have tried to call the server with this endpoint https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get-transaction-history and it's returning the correct transactions correctly. Any idea what is happening?

When a VPN is active, RCS messaging does not work on iOS 18. I work on an iOS VPN app, and we were very appreciative of the excludeCellularServices network flag that was released during the iOS 16 cycle. It's a great solution to ensure the VPN doesn't interfere with cellular network features from the cellular provider. Separately - As a user, I'm excited that iOS 18 includes RCS messaging. Unfortunately, RCS messaging is not working when our VPN is active (when checking on the iOS 18 release candidate). My guess is that RCS is not excluded from the VPN tunnel, even when excludeCellularServices is true. It seems like RCS should be added in this situation, as it is a cell provider service. Can RCS be added as a service that is excluded from the VPN tunnel when excludeCellularServices is true? (I've also sent this via feedback assistant, as 15094270.)

Hi, I’m having issues with push notifications on my phone across multiple apps. When someone sends me a message, I only receive the notification 10 to 15 minutes later. For example, on WhatsApp, people say that my chat only shows one checkmark when they send me a message. I don’t know what else to do. I’ve already contacted Apple Support, visited an Apple-affiliated physical store, and followed all the recommended procedures. This is my first time using an iPhone—I bought it for professional use, but it’s practically useless if I don’t receive notifications instantly. They even told me that if I send it in for warranty service, there’s a 90% chance they won’t detect the issue, and the iPhone will come back with the same problem.

Hello everyone. I use Translation Framework in my application. During development everything was fine, Translation framework worked well, but after two or three days of using the production version (that was published in AppStore and available for others also!) - my application stopped working. Translation framework gives errors: Error sending 1 paragraphs Error Domain=TranslationErrorDomain Code=16 "Translation failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Translation failed, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offline models not available for language pair} Failed to translate input 0; returning error: Error Domain=TranslationErrorDomain Code=16 "Translation failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Translation failed, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offline models not available for language pair} Received unbridged NSError to API, converting to .internalError: Error Domain=TranslationErrorDomain Code=16 "Translation failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Translation failed, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offline models not available for language pair} Once again - it worked when I developed it, it was released on the AppStore, and suddenly it stopped working!

The following code works perfectly fine in iOS 17, where I can retrieve the desired dependency value through @IntentParameterDependency as expected. However, in iOS 18, addTransaction always returns nil. struct CategoryEntityQuery: EntityStringQuery { @Dependency private var persistentController: PersistentController @IntentParameterDependency<AddTransactionIntent>( \.$categoryType ) var addTransaction func entities(matching string: String) async throws -> [CategoryEnitity] { guard let addTransaction else { return [] } // ... } func entities(for identifiers: [CategoryEnitity.ID]) async throws -> [CategoryEnitity] { guard let addTransaction else { return [] } // ... } func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [CategoryEnitity] { guard let addTransaction else { return [] } // ... } } Has anyone else encountered the same issue? Any insights or potential workarounds would be greatly appreciated. iOS: 18.0 (22A3354) Xcode 16.0 (16A242d)

I have added an "App Intents Extension" target to my main application in macOS. This generated the below two files: TWAppIntent.swift import AppIntents struct TWAppIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "TWAppIntentExtension" static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Get information on \(\.$TWType)") } //launch app on running action static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = true // we can have multiple parameter of diff types @Parameter(title: "TWType") var TWType: String func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<String> & ProvidesDialog { return .result(value: TWType, dialog: "Logged break.") } } TWAppIntentExtension.swift import AppIntents @main struct TWAppIntentExtension: AppIntentsExtension { } I m able to build the extension target and I my intent action is available in the shortcuts app. However, on launching a shortcut with the above created intent action. I m getting the below popups: I have identified what is causing this error. Setting the openAppWhenRun to true is causing this error. I don't get this when it is set to false. This property is supposed to launch the application, but can someone help me understand why is it happening? This is only causing the error when using this property for AppIntent Extension and not for In app handling for the AppIntent. Can we not launch our application from AppIntent extension?

Hello, I use Storekit2 to test the purchase of subscription products. After purchasing a subscription product in the sandbox, it will automatically renew 12 times, and then it will no longer automatically renew. When I click to purchase again, calling the try await product.purchase() method does not pop up the purchase pop-up window. In fact, it will directly go to the case let .success(.verified(transaction)): step, and the Transaction.currentEntitlements is empty

Hello, This is my first post in the forums, and I'm still learning my way with iOS Development and Swift. My apologies if the formatting is not correct, or If I'm making any mistakes. I'm currently trying to implement an iOS App where the device needs to share the location with my server via an API call. The use case is as follows: the server expects location updates to determine if a device is inside/outside a geofence. If the device is stationary, no locations need to be sent. If the device begins moving, regardless of whether the app is in foreground, background, or terminated, the app should resume posting locations to the server. I've decided to use the CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() stream, together with CLBackgroundActivitySession(). However, I have not been able to achieve the behavior successfully. My app either maintains the blue CLActivitySession indicator active, regardless of whether the phone is stationary or not, or kills the Indicator (and the background capability) and does not restore it when moving again. Below I've attached my latest code snippet (the indicator disappears and does not come back). // This method is called in the didFinishLaunchingWithOptions func startLocationUpdates(precise: Bool) { // Show the location permission pop up requestAuthorization() // Stop any previous sessions stopLocationUpdates() Task { do { // If we have the right authorization, we will launch the updates in the background // using CLBackgroundActivitySession if self.manager.authorizationStatus == .authorizedAlways { self.backgroundActivity = true } else { self.backgroundActivity = false self.backgroundSession?.invalidate() } // We will start collecting live location updates for try await update in CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() { // Handle deprecation let stationary = if #available(iOS 18.0, *) { update.stationary } else { update.isStationary } // If the update is identified as stationary, we will skip this update // and turn off background location updates if stationary { self.backgroundSession?.invalidate() continue } // if background activity is enabled, we restore the Background Activity Session if backgroundActivity == true { self.backgroundSession = CLBackgroundActivitySession() } guard let location = update.location else { continue } // Do POST with location to server } } catch { print("Could not start location updates") } } } I'm not sure why the code does not work as expected, and I believe I may be misunderstanding how the libraries Work. My understanding is that the liveUpdates stream is capable of emitting values, even if the app has gone to the background/terminated, thus why I'm trying to stop/resume the Background Activity using the "stationary" or "isStationary" attribute coming from the update. Is the behavior I'm trying to achieve possible? If so, I'm I using the right libraries for it? Is my implementation correct? And If not, what would be the recommended approach? Regards

Just wanted to check here to see if anyone else is running into the issue of CarPlay not working at all on iOS 26 Beta 1, even with the update on Friday. I plug my phone in (wired) and CarPlay never shows up. I've seen a Reddit thread where other folks are seeing the same thing.
