user experienced an issue while trying to redeem a subscription offer code via the presentCodeRedemptionSheet. During the first attempt, the money was debited from; however, received a message indicating that the redemption had failed. Despite the initial failure, when clicked the redeem button again, the process completed successfully and immediately showed a success message. This inconsistency in the redemption process is concerning, as it might lead to double charging or confusion for users about the status of their subscription activation.

I'd like to be able to invoke an App Clip from an Apple Pass notification. I've been using an Apple Pass store card successfully. Ideally, I'd like to be able to tap the notification to open the App Clip. I haven't seen support for this in the documentation, but I wanted to see if anyone had any creative use cases for something like this?

Hi there. We're a large team integrating Apple Pay to a payment system. We'd like to start building the code that decrypts an ApplePayPaymentToken before the web client code that initiates the payment request is complete. Is there a way to obtain a sample ApplePayPaymentToken for our account to ensure that our decryption code / keys / certificates are configured properly? (Or the only way to obtain an ApplePayPaymentToken would be through completing of a payment request, i.e. step 29 of page 21 of this document: https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/Apple-Pay-Merchant-Integration-Guide.pdf) Thank you

We have a USB dongle that would like to connect to the iPhone for power (using USB-C). Since it is not MFi, we will then use bluetooth for communication between the dongle and an app. When doing bluetooth pairing between the dongle and iPhone, it would be ideal to only see the dongle that is plugged into the iPhone listed in the app. This is to avoid connecting to other dongles that may be in the area. We think this could be possible using USB descriptors. We assume the iPhone can read the USB descriptors for non-MFi dongles. Our question is, can our app see the USB-descriptors of the dongle? Is iOS able to pass that info to the app? Then, we could have a unique USB descriptor for each dongle and the app could only list bluetooth devices with that descriptor (effectively filtering out any other dongles in the area). Any help and/or feedback is greatly appreciated :)

After upgrading to iOS 18, my Core Data stack using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer in a shared App Group container stopped syncing correctly. The persistent store configuration, which previously worked in iOS 17, now experiences delayed or missing sync updates between devices. Then the app freezes and writes terminal the same error detail (which I provided) too many times. The debug logs from the CloudKit mirroring delegate (NSCloudKitMirroringDelegate) show repetitive notifications but no updates in persistent history. Additionally, the persistent history tracking key appears unresponsive to local changes, causing transactions to fail in updating or syncing as expected. Key setup details: Core Data is set up within an App Group container using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey and NSPersistentStoreRemoteChangeNotificationPostOptionKey options are set to true. Any insights into changes in iOS 18 Core Data or CloudKit handling with NSPersistentCloudKitContainer, especially around history tracking and sync delays, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Which scenario does SKErrorOverlayCancelled refer to specifically? If the user pulls up the payment and cancels it, does it return SKErrorPaymentCancelled or SKErrorOverlayCancelled?

Hi, I have a published app with Apple Pay integration working well. But, for business reasons, we need to change the gateway that process the payments. I thought that I could maintain the same Merchant ID just creating an additional certificate on it. But I figure out that I need to activate the new additional certificate to work on. When I try to activate the additional certificate I got a message that others certificates for the same merchant id will be revoked. So, I didn't yet. I am afraid that it will stop the published app to process Apple Pay payments if I activate the additional certificate. What is the correct approach ? Create a new Merchant ID for the new version of the app? Or am I missing something? Thanks

Hi, I'm troubleshooting an iOS network connectivity issue when my app is running 'in' a per-app VPN and would like some clarification about the ordering of some of the logging generated after installing various debugging profiles on the device (VPN (Network Extension), Network Diagnostics, mDNSResponder). Context The connectivity issue is between two vendors my app is involved with. One supplies an app proxy provider extension to provide per-app VPN capability for my app. The other vendor provides an SDK framework that's attempting to make network connections which normally work when the VPN is not involved. We have confirmed with the VPN vendor that it is not a configuration (whitelisting, etc) type issue. I am trying to understand from the logs what component caused/initiated the network connection termination. Was it the kernel, was it the App Proxy Provider Network Extension code or was it the app (SDK framework) code ? Log entries I've attached a short log file and number the lines for reference, and have redacted a few commercially sensitive parts. NetworkLogExcerpt.txt Questions Can this log help determine who caused the network connection failure, and if not, is there any more instrumentation I could enable that might help? Do the log entries (and their timestamps) reflect the actual order/timing of events reported on, or is there some jumbling occurring due to my app, the kernel and iOSAppProxyProvider running in different processes/threads? After the app initiates the network connection (line 1), it appears that the kernel flow diversion code in netinet/flow_divert.c establishes the flow and closes it (lines 2 - 6) before iOSAppProxyProvider even starts to establish the flow (lines 7 - 10). Then the app somehow seems to detects a network error (line 8), before the iOSAppProxyProvider has even matched the VPN extension (line 12) to it and then finally the iOSAppProxyProvider closes the flow (lines 13-17). I'd have expected an interleaving of kernel and iOSAppProxyProvider log entries, with the app's own logging just occurring at the start and end, bracketing the whole interaction... I am new to this area of iOS, so apologies if I am missing some important foundational concepts about how these components all work together. Thanks in advance, Rob

Hello, I am writing a NetworkExtension VPN using custom protocol and our client would like to able to use 5G network slice on the VPN, is this possible at all? From Apple's documentation, I found the following statement: If both network slicing and VPN are configured for an app or device, the VPN connection takes precedence over the network slice, rendering the network slice unused. Is it possible to assign a network slice on a NetworkExtension-based VPN and let the VPN traffic uses the assign network slice? Many thanks

In October the 9th I had 97% battery health and after not even a month (on the 28th October) my battery health went down to 94%. Anyone knows why ? I haven’t been using my phone more or charging it more than usual. using an iPhone 15 pro max. This is really concerning !!! 3% in less than a month?

Hi, so, we grabbed a couple of nice new watches the other week (Ultra for dad, SE for teenage son). Mostly cool and working together (calls, messages, maps, walkie talkies, etc, etc). All good. But then son said, "Dad, why can't I see my sleep stuff like you can..?". He was right, it wasn't working. Looking around a bit, it turns out that there are a bunch of things that are turned off or not available when pairing a kids watch with dad's phone. From the Apple page: "The following features and apps are not available: Medications, respiratory rate, irregular heart rhythm notifications, ECG, AF History, Cycle Tracking, Sleep, Wrist Temperature, Blood Oxygen, Walking Steadiness, Audiobooks, Remote, News, Shortcuts and the double-tap gesture". Now dev-me reacts to this situation with: "Ok, so let's just build a little standalone sleep app for son's watch. There must be lots of parents out there who would like the same thing". And there are also a bunch of other "family sharing" enabled apps that when you try and use them on kid's phone, say "iPhone requireed", i.e, they don't apparently work with just a watch hooked up to mum or dad's phone. So before I dive into that kind of project, which seems like an obvious fix path from a dev and a parents' point of view: does anybody know if this from Apple's point of view is a hardware, a software or a legal/age limitation? What's the basic framework/dev/design issue here? Is it something on the device(s) that prevents sleep data from even being collected on family/kids paired watches? (Therefore don't bother trying to build an app); I assume not becauses it's just a normal SE used by a kid; or Is it "just" that Apple hasn't wanted to make that available without a kids iPhone too (Therefore you could certainly build a standalone app to do what Apple hasn't wanted to do); or Netiher 1 nor 2, but Apple won't even allow Sleep data collection for kids for some legal/health data reason (Therefore don't bother trying to build the app).

For transit passes I have notice they have the "Latest Transactions" under the card image. Is there a way to support this in other types of Passes such as a Store card?

I am developing an app which makes use of actionable notifications. On my code (the func userNotificationCenter function), I need to read my users from the local storage on the iPhone: let query: [String: Any] = [ kSecAttrService as String: "uio-auth", kSecAttrAccount as String: "users", kSecClass as String: kSecClassGenericPassword, kSecReturnData as String: true ] var result: AnyObject? SecItemCopyMatching(query as CFDictionary, &result) let ref = result as? Data But when the same code execute when I tap on the notification on the Apple Watch, it doesn't fetch anything. It now occurs to to me: Does it mean that when an actionable notification programmed for the iOS is displayed on the Apple Watch, it tries to access its own storage, and not the iPhone? If so, is there a nice way to pass the values to the watchOS so that when the callback for the actionable notifications run, it has then the data it needs?

I'm managing the database with SQLite in Flutter. I want to enable iCloud backup and restore on the Swift side when called from Flutter. I am using the following source code, but it is not working. What could be the cause? Could you provide a method and countermeasure? private func saveFileToICloud(fileName: String, localDatabasePath: String, result: @escaping FlutterResult) { guard let containerName = Bundle.main.object(forInfoDictionaryKey: "ICLOUD_CONTAINER_NAME") as? String else { result(FlutterError(code: "NO_ICLOUD_CONTAINER", message: "iCloud container is not available", details: nil)) return } guard let containerURL = FileManager.default.url(forUbiquityContainerIdentifier: containerName) else { result(FlutterError(code: "NO_ICLOUD_CONTAINER", message: "iCloud container is not available", details: nil)) return } let fileURL = containerURL.appendingPathComponent(fileName) let sourceURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: localDatabasePath) do { if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: fileURL.path) { try FileManager.default.removeItem(at: fileURL) } try FileManager.default.copyItem(at: sourceURL, to: fileURL) result("File saved successfully to iCloud: \(fileURL.path)") } catch { result(FlutterError(code: "WRITE_ERROR", message: "Failed to write file to iCloud", details: error.localizedDescription)) } } private func readFileFromICloud(fileName: String, localDatabasePath: String, result: @escaping FlutterResult) { let containerName = ProcessInfo.processInfo.environment["ICLOUD_CONTAINER_NAME"] guard let containerURL = FileManager.default.url(forUbiquityContainerIdentifier: containerName) else { result(FlutterError(code: "NO_ICLOUD_CONTAINER", message: "iCloud container is not available", details: nil)) return } let fileURL = containerURL.appendingPathComponent(fileName) let sourceURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: localDatabasePath) do { if FileManager.default.fileExists(atPath: sourceURL.path) { try FileManager.default.removeItem(at: sourceURL) } try FileManager.default.copyItem(at: fileURL, to: sourceURL) result("File restored successfully to sqlite: \(sourceURL.path)") } catch { result(FlutterError(code: "READ_ERROR", message: "Failed to read file from iCloud", details: error.localizedDescription)) } }

Hello Apple Dev Team, I’m seeking guidance on how to ensure full compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines, specifically section 3.1.1 (In-App Purchase). In-App Purchase Mechanisms: I want to verify that my app is correctly using in-app purchases to unlock premium content, rather than alternative mechanisms. The guidelines outline various restrictions on unlocking content (e.g., license keys, QR codes, cryptocurrency). If I follow all of these restrictions, would Apple require anything else specific to prove compliance? Subscription Handling Across Platforms: Our app plans to offer a subscription service where users could subscribe on Android and then access the content on iOS with the same credentials (similar to Netflix). Users should also have the option to manage (including canceling) their subscription directly from their iOS device. Are there any specific requirements or precautions I should take to facilitate this cross-platform subscription access while remaining compliant? Restoring Purchases: I see that in-app purchases must have a restore mechanism. Could you confirm if Apple expects any specific UX or technical standards here, particularly if there are multiple types of IAPs? I’d appreciate any insights or examples from other apps that meet these requirements successfully. Thanks in advance! This should help clarify your approach, ensuring alignment with Apple’s guidelines.

In this case, I used my project project to export the ipa to testflght. The tester installed the app on the test device, started the app, and received the payment voucher information pushed by storekit. At this time, the test device did not log in to the sandbox account. Of course, The test device has previously logged into the sandbox account and successfully paid for the subscription. When I used the same test device, connected to Xcode, clicked run, and ran the app, I did not receive the payment voucher information pushed by storekit. I am very confused, why does testflight receive the certificate information pushed by storekit?

Am developing an iOS App, which uses a ZipFoundation wrapper around Compression. In XCode, have exported a document type with extension '.MU' in the Info.plist. On iPhone, when attempting to open archive called: 'Snapshot-test.mu' can OPEN as a mobile email attachment but FAILED via Files App referring to "iCloud Drive/Desktop" Here are the respective URLS "file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/&lt;UniqueID&gt;/Documents/Inbox/Snapshot-test.mu" "file:///private/var/mobile/Library/Mobile%20Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/Desktop/Snapshot-test1.mu" Two questions: Is it possible to grant access to files residing remotely in iCloud? Is "iCloud Drive/Desktop" unique, whereas other iCloud locations would be OK?

Hello, I am implementing an App Intent which shows a confirmation dialog before proceeding with the operation execution. It works fine when the intent is started from a shortcut, but it always fails when started from Siri: I obtain the error message depicted in the attached screenshot ("An error occurred, try again"). That message appears as soon as the requestConfirmation method is called in the perform method of my App Intent: try await requestConfirmation(actionName: .do, dialog: "app_intent_sim_confirmation_message") { SIMRechargeIntentSummaryView(...) } ... How can I solve the problem? Thanks
