Team-scoped keys introduce the ability to restrict your token authentication keys to either development or production environments. Topic-specific keys in addition to environment isolation allow you to associate each key with a specific Bundle ID streamlining key management. For detailed instructions on accessing these features, read our updated documentation on establishing a token-based connection to APNs.

Hi, I can't get into "manage" sandbox account. I either get to a screen to put my password in. Here there is no way to click "next" or "login". (I have tried pressing "enter" on my keyboard to no effect). Or I get directly into "Cannot Connect" page. I have tried this two days in a row. I have tried turning it off and on again. I have tried logging out and in. Device: iPhone 13 pro max, iOS: 16.0.3 (also tried the version before this)

Since upgrading to Xcode 26 beta 4 and using the iOS 26 simulator for testing our app, we've stopped being able to receive device tokens for the simulator from the development APNS environment. The APNS environment is able to return meta device information (e.g. model, type, manufacturer) but there are no device tokens present. When running the same app using the iOS 18.5 simulator, we are able to register the device with the same APNS environment and receive a valid device token.

We have developed a Parental/Self control app using Screen time API. We have used individual authentication to authorize the app, using the instructions here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/familycontrols/authorizationcenter The problem is , that individual auth can be disabled easily , by the following steps: enter Settings app. in Settings app, click on the Parental/Self control app. click to disable screen time restriction. show the device owner's face/fingerprint. (or pin code) Why is that a problem: Parental control apps, or self-control apps, are about giving control to the software, To make it hard for the user to disable the restrictions. So using the flow I have introduced above, it's super-easy for a user to disable his Parental control restrictions, which misses the entire point of Parental/Self control idea. Furthermore, not only the user have the means to unlock his screen time restrictions, he also MUST have the means to unlock it. This makes Screen time (with individual auth) useless: I have a code ready to make a great parental control app for my clients, with amazing ideas, but I can't use the Screen time API unless this problem is fixed. Why child-parent auth is not enough: My clients are grownups people between ages of 15-40, that are interested in self-control, so they don't have iCloud child accounts. also, the child-parent auth solution forces my clients to give some control to other person, and my clients prefer their privacy. Some of them prefer self-control and not parental-control. What I suggest as a solution: 1: Give more options to users how to disable the Screen time restrictions. including: a second faceID / FingerPrint (that isn't the same as the one used to unlock the device) a second pin password. a string password 2: Give the users the option to choose to not have the device's owner Face/Finger/Pincode ID , as a method to disable the Screen time restrictions.

Has anyone had success attempting to place a PKCanvasView in front of an image / UIImageView ?Setting the canvas backgroundColor to clear appears to work correctly, however when finger/pencil touches down the background of the PKCanvasView reverts to black 100% alpha.ThanksBen

Hi, I’m looking for guidance on enabling push notifications for new emails in the native iOS Mail app (com.apple.mobilemail). Currently, I send push notifications using macOS Server (formerly OS X Server) Mail, but since it has been discontinued and renewal is no longer possible, I want to transition to the standard method used by email providers to notify the stock Mail app about new messages. To achieve this, I need access to the com.apple.mobilemail.push.com.zuplu APNs topic. This follows the same pattern used by other providers: iCloud: com.apple.mobilemail.push.com.me.mail.castle Fastmail: com.apple.mobilemail.push.com.fastmail Since Fastmail (as a third-party provider) has access to this, I assume there is a way for independent mail providers to integrate with XAPPLEPUSHSERVICE. In the interest of a free market and fair competition, I trust that Apple provides a means for email providers to notify the stock Mail app of IMAP server changes, allowing it to fetch new messages instantly. Under EU competition law, particularly Article 102 TFEU, dominant companies must not engage in anti-competitive behavior, including restricting access to essential services in a discriminatory manner. Furthermore, the Digital Markets Act (DMA) explicitly prohibits gatekeepers from favoring their own services or restricting interoperability without justification. Any insights or official guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, DragonWork

I'm seeing fully reproducible issues with URLSession on iOS 18.4 RC Simulator running from Xcode 16.3 RC. URLSession seems to get into a broken state after a second app run. The following sample succeeds in fetching the JSON on first app run but when the app is closed and ran again it fails with one of these errors: Error: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1005 "The network connection was lost." Error: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1001 "The request timed out." I'm wondering if this something related to my OS setup or is this due to internal URLSession changes in iOS 18.4. Already submitted as FB17006003. Sample code attached below: import SwiftUI @main struct NetworkIssue18_4App: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } struct ContentView: View { @State private var message: String = "" var body: some View { VStack { Text(message) Button("Try Again") { Task { await fetch() } } } .task { await fetch() } } private func fetch() async { message = "Loading..." let url = URL(string: "https://poetrydb.org/title/Ozymandias/lines.json")! let session = URLSession.shared do { let response = try await session.data(from: url) print("Response: \(response)") message = "Success, data length: \(response.0.count)" } catch { print("Error: \(error)") message = "Error: \(error.localizedDescription)" } } }

Im having trouble enabling Live Activities in a new app. The option is not available in Xcode or in the developer portal. Is there something I have to do to activate this option?

Logging in with my Apple ID anywhere in the system (feedback assistant, Xcode, iCloud, etc.) fails when running under virtualization. Is this a known 'issue'? (networking in general is working fine)

Hi all, Has anyone stumbled upon the SwiftData equivalent of @SectionedFetchRequest? Is there a way to do it with @Query? I'll keep going through the documentation but if anyone has an answer, it would be much appreciated!! Thank you.

It's not yet fully clear why and when does this crash occur, but I'm creating this post so there's a centralized thread for this. Some hints collected so far: The crash is occurring for existing Xcode projects opened with new Xcode 26.0 beta (17A5241e); no one's been able to reproduce on a project created in Xcode 26. I even tried creating a project with Xcode 16.2 and open it in Xcode 26, but it's all working fine there (don't have older Xcode at the moment, to try with many versions) It crashes right at the line of code that initializes URLSessionConfiguration. If you call URLSession() without parameters (which is deprecated as of iOS 13), the session initializes without the crash. It's NOT occurring only for libraries installed through package manages. In a project where it crashes, one should be able to reproduce by adding URLSessionConfiguration.default as the first line in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions It crashes when running an app on an iOS 26 simulator. (I don't have a device running beta iOS 26 to test on it!) It's working fine when running the app on a simulator or a device running iOS 18 or older. Related issue on Firebase GitHub repo: https://github.com/firebase/firebase-ios-sdk/issues/14948 Sorry to not be able to provide more info at the moment. I wanted to report this so in case someone from Apple knows about it, we could at least get some feedback or workarounds, until fix is released -- and, to prevent us all from duplicating this report in repositories of each library, as this isn't related to libraries.

I am trying to follow the guidance for testing a Local Experience, as listed in the Testing Your App Clip’s Launch Experience - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/app_clips/testing_your_app_clip_s_launch_experience documentation. I have successfully created my App Clip target, and can confirm that running the App Clip on my device does launch the App Clip app as I expected. Further, I can successfully test the App Clip on device, by setting the _XCAppClipURL argument in the App Clip's scheme. I would like to test a Local Experience. The documentation states that for testing Local Experiences; To test your app clip’s invocation with a local experience, you don’t need to add the Associated Domains Entitlement, make changes to the Apple App Site Association file on your web server, or create an app clip experience for testing in TestFlight. Therefore, I should be able to configure a Local Experience with any desired domain in Settings -> Developer -> Local Experience, generate a QR code or NFC tag with that same URL, and the App Clip experience should appear. I have taken the following steps; Built and run my App Clip on my local device. In Settings -> Developer -> Local Experience, I have registered a new experience using a URL prefix https://somewebsite.com Set my Bundle ID to com.mycompany.myapp.Clip, which exactly matches the Bundle Identifier, as listed in Xcode, under my App Clip target. Generated a QR code which directs me to https://somewebsite.com In theory, I believe I should be able to open the Camera app on my device, point the camera at the QR code, and the App Clip experience should appear. However, I received mixed experiences. 50% of the time, I receive a pop-up directing me to open https://somewebsite.com in Safari, the other 50% of the time, no banner or action occurs whatsoever. Is this an issue anyone has faced before, or have I pursued these steps out of order?

Hello everyone! We are observing a significant number of failures in the fetch of the products with StoreKit1, meaning that in a completely random way, some product identifiers are considered invalid in the response that we receive from Apple, and after some minutes these products are considered once again valid. The issue started on Thursday 04/24 around 12.00 am (UTC + 02.00) and from our dashboard we can clearly see the trend of these failures has some spikes at precise times. I am attaching a view that we use for monitoring purposes showing this trend, considering the data of this week. We are noticing this problem on multiple developer accounts and on multiple apps, which is leading us to think it could be an issue in the Apple backend processing the request. In our case, the apps are not launched correctly until all the products are fetched, and therefore the impact of this problem is very high. Is anyone experiencing something similar or do you have logs which allows you to identify such issues? The issue happens only in production, while in debug and TestFlight environment everything works well. Thank you for your support

Hi! Could you please clarify when and why the subscription auto-renewal rate in TestFlight was changed to a daily cycle? Now, the subscription lasts for 6 days! This is causing significant issues in testing. Previously, the 5-minute auto-renewal for weekly subscriptions was an excellent solution. Is there a way to adjust the auto-renewal timing for an account in TestFlight? Documentation link: https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/test-a-beta-version/subscription-renewal-rate-in-testflight. Thank you for your clarification!

Before updating to macOS 15 Sequoia, I used to be able to create file bookmarks with this code: let openPanel = NSOpenPanel() openPanel.runModal() let url = openPanel.urls[0] do { let _ = try url.bookmarkData(options: [.withSecurityScope]) } catch { print(error) } Now I get an error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=256 "Failed to retrieve app-scope key" These are the entitlements: com.apple.security.app-sandbox com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write com.apple.security.files.bookmarks.app-scope Strangely, my own apps continued working, after updating to macOS 15 some days ago, until a few moments ago. Then it seems that all of a sudden my existing bookmarks couldn't be resolved anymore, and no new bookmarks could be created. What could be the problem?

On macOS Sequoia, the settings to enable FIFinderSync seem to have gone. I have already figured out that Extensions are no longer in the Privacy & Security section, but they are now at General › Login Items & Extensions. Here there is a Finder section, but that is just for the Finder-Extensions, not the Finder-Sync-Extensions. Those previously did not have their own section and were hidden away in the Added Extensions section that apparently no longer exists. I expect that it has been forgotten when migrating. Where are the settings for this – have they been forgotten?

Since the iOS 18 and Xcode 16, I've been getting some really strange SwiftData errors when passing @Model classes around. The error I'm seeing is the following: SwiftData/BackingData.swift:409: Fatal error: This model instance was destroyed by calling ModelContext.reset and is no longer usable. PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(url: x-coredata://34EE9059-A7B5-4484-96A0-D10786AC9FB0/TestApp/p2), implementation: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifierImplementation) The same issue also happens when I try to retrieve a model from the ModelContext using its PersistentIdentifier and try to do anything with it. I have no idea what could be causing this. I'm guessing this is just a bug in the iOS 18 Beta, since I couldn't find a single discussion about this on Google, I figured I'd mention it. if someone has a workaround or something, that would be much appreciated.

I've been testing out SwiftData but haven't bee able to get ModelContext notifications working. I've tried both an objc observer and for await patterns but it never fires. If I listen for the older nsmanagedcontext notifications they are firing, but I am hoping that the new ones give an ID instead of an objectId. Has anyone got these working? Attempt 1: class NotificationObserver { init() { let didSaveNotification = ModelContext.didSave NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(didSave(_:)), name: didSaveNotification, object: nil) } @objc func didSave(_ notification: Notification) { print(notification.name) } } Attempt 2: class NotificationObserver { init() { let didSaveNotification = ModelContext.didSave Task { for await note in NotificationCenter.default.notifications(named: didSaveNotification) { print(note) } } } }

The 'unique' attribute is a really nice feature, BUT. In some of my apps, the unique identifier for an object is a combination of multiple attributes. (Example: a book title is not unique, but a combination of book title and author list is.) How do I model this with SwiftData? I cannot use @Attribute(.unique) on either the title OR the author list, but I want SwiftData to provide the same "insert or update" logic. Is this possible?

I added my first subscription to my app using StoreKit's SubscriptionStoreView. Everything worked as expected in the debug environment and also in TestFlight. So I submitted my app and subscriptions to App Store Connect, got everything Approved and released. After updating my app through App Store and checking the Subscription View, it just says "Subscription Unavailable. The subscription is unavailable in the current storefront." I waited around 3 days and still getting the same message. Now the very strange behavior starts. I went to App Store Connect, I made and edit to the subscription description, saved, removed the edit, saved, and submitted to review. 15 minutes later the subscriptions appear in my app and everything works as expected. After getting the edit approved, the Subscription View in my app again only showed the message "Subscription Unavailable. The subscription is unavailable in the current storefront." No user is able to see the subscriptions anymore, even though it worked as expected before the edit was approved. So I did the same as before. Again, make an edit to the subscription description, save, remove the edit, save, submit to review. 15 minutes later the subscriptions are again available in my app and it works as expected. This is definitely not the expected behavior and submitting the subscription edits every day is wasting the App Review Team's time as well as mine. I contacted Apple Developer Support but I didn't get any reply back (at least yet). I am not the only one experiencing this. I found a friend online who has the exact same issue, and is able to temporarily solve it by making an edit to the subscription description as well. So far it has been a huge headache, and we are losing customers this way. Please if anyone has experience with this problem, or has any suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much, Tomas
