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.

I'm encountering a strange behavior with one of my home's on Home app while I'm off network. When I launch the app it indicates that the hub is not responding and all of my devices are unavailable. However, on the menu bar at the bottom if I switch to "Automation" and back to "Home" the pop-up goes away and my devices are accessible again (sometimes this take a few attempts). Siri is also able to consistently control my devices without an issue. The same behavior occurs with Home app on other devices (e.g. Mac) and with other members that have access to the household. 3rd party HomeKit app like "Controller" does not have an issue. This issue began with iOS 26 and I haven't had much luck resolving the issue. I already tried rebooting everything, including removing and re-adding an Apple TV (home hub). I have other homes shared with me in Home App with similar network/environment that are still working. The home I'm having issues has the most number of devices though (over 100+).

where can i get apple's all device hardware vid and pid ?

I'm trying to use ThreadNetwork API to manage TheradNetworks on device (following this documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/threadnetwork/), but while some functions on THClient work (such as getPreferedNetwork), most don't (storeCredentials, retrieveAllCredentials).

On a MacBook Pro, 16GB of RAM, 500 GB SSD, OS Sequoia 15.7.1, M3 chip, I am running some python3 code in a conda environment that requires lots of RAM and sure enough, once physical memory is almost exhausted, swapfiles of about 1GB each start being created, which I can see in /System/Volumes/VM. This folder has about 470 GB of available space at the start of the process (I can see this through get info) however, once about 40 or so swapfiles are created, for a total of about 40GB of virtual memory occupied (and thus still plenty of available space in VM), zsh kills the python process responsible for the RAM usage (notably, it does not kill another python process using only about 100 MB of RAM). The message received is "zsh: killed" in the tmux pane where the logging of the process is printed. All the documentation I was able to consult says that macOS is designed to use up to all available storage on the startup disk (which is the one I am using since I have only one disk and the available space aforementioned reflects this) for swapping, when physical RAM is not enough. Then why is the process killed long before the swapping area is exhausted? In contrast, the same process on a Linux machine (basic python venv here) just keeps swapping, and never gets killed until swap area is exhausted. One last note, I do not have administrator rights on this device, so I could not run dmesg to retrieve more precise information, I can only check with df -h how the swap area increases little by little. My employer's IT team confirmed that they do not mess with memory usage on managed profiles, so macOS is just doing its thing. Thanks for any insight you can share on this issue, is it a known bug (perhaps with conda/python environments) or is it expected behaviour? Is there a way to keep the process from being killed?

For Apple Pay Testing purposes, we're trying out cards from https://developer.apple.com/apple-pay/sandbox-testing/ Visa, AMEX, Discover cards can be added to the wallet. But all 5 of the listed options for Mastercard cannot be added to the wallet with the error "Card Device Limit". How can we resolve this?

We recently released an update to our app to prepare for TX SB2420. Almost immediately on release, we started getting crash reports of crashes when calling isEligibleForAgeFeatures. Crashed: com.apple.root.user-initiated-qos.cooperative EXC_BAD_ACCESS KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS 0x0000000000000004 Is it possible that these are beta users that have IOS 26.2 RC or is there a bug in the release version of IOS 26.2? Note: The crash reports are coming from Crashlytics so we are not getting OS build identifiers other than version "26.2"

After reading the news below, we are currently working on updating our app in preparation for the enforcement of Texas SB 2420. https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=2ezb6jhj Based on the information in the announcement, we understand that parents will be able to revoke their consent for apps. However, we are unsure how an app is supposed to obtain or verify the parent’s consent status in the first place. We reviewed the Declared Age Range API and PermissionKit’s Significant Change API, but could not find any functionality related to this. If anyone with expertise on this topic has insight, we would greatly appreciate your guidance. Thank you in advance.

When updating an existing advanced app clip experience, the change doesn't actually apply. It shows the correct image in the UI, but when you use the app clip it shows the old image. Looking into it more, the status has "UPDATE_SUBMITTED". Seems related to this issue (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/810544) and this issue (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/810351).

I have a total of 100 asset packs associated with my app but I have archived 5 of them. Unfortunately I am now unable to upload any more asset packs (the reported error is "backgroundAsset limit reached -- This app has already reached the maximum number of active backgroundAssets. Maximum allowed is 100.") I assumed that archiving asset packs would make them inactive (and thus not count against the limit). This seems to not be the case and I'm not sure how I can upload new asset packs.

Hello, In my iOS/SwiftUI/SwiftData app, I want the user to be able to hit [Cancel] from editing in a detail screen and return to the previous screen without changes being saved. I believed that setting autosaveEnabled to false and/or calling .rollback would prevent changes from being saved, unless/until I call .save() when the user clicks [Save], but this does not seem to be correct. I set modelContext.autosaveEnabled = false and I call modelContext.rollback() when the user hits [Cancel], but any changes they made are not rolled back, but saved even if I don’t call save(). I have tried setting autosaveEnabled to false when I create the ModelContainer on a @MainActor function when the App starts, and in the detail/edit screen’s .onAppear(). I can see that .rollback is being called when the [Cancel] button is tapped. In all cases, any changes the user made before hitting [Cancel] are saved. The Developer Documentation on autosaveEnabled includes this: “The default value is false. SwiftData automatically sets this property to true for the model container’s mainContext." I am working on the mainContext, but it appears that setting autosaveEnabled to false has no effect no matter where in the code I set it. If someone sees what I am doing wrong, I’d sure appreciate the input. If this description doesn’t explain the problem well enough, I’ll develop a minimal focused example.

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

I want to make a app that indicates that the app is recording in the background using a indicator on the dynamic island or on the top of the phone screen but i can't figure it out on Xcode. Saw a guy do it by making live activities true but can't seem to find that option in background mode in capabilities. any ideas?

Looks like something in OpenDirectory tries to access released data (weak references and delayed processing?). The problem seems to occur on macOS 15. Is there any bug/regression, should we file a feedback? Or maybe we do something wrong?

Hello everybody! I'm currently working on a Bluetooth Low Energy Sync that is using BGTaskScheduler & successfully running periodically in the Background on iOS 26. I did watch this years WWDC Session 227 (Finish tasks in the background) & follow the recommendations as suggested. Currently, the App is only using 37 Mb (iPhone 12 mini) & no Location or other services are running in Background. However, when opening Safari & scrolling through some webpages, the App is killed because of "Terminated due to memory issue". I profiled the App & followed advice when it comes to reducing the memory footprint of the App. Are there any additional steps I can take to prevent the App being killed? Are there any recommendations for periodically scheduled Tasks when it comes to the Interval? Do more frequent Tasks (30min compared to one or two hours) have any impact? I tried many different schedules but none seem to make a difference. From my observation, the App is first suspended & eventually killed because of the Memory Pressure. Any hints, suggestions or recommendations are highly appreciated! Thanks a lot for the support!

The universal links for my apps stopped working. The server where the AASA files where hosted worked on IPV4 exclusively, a few days ago i changed the configuration to IPV6 only. I´ve created new IPV6 entries, renewed all certifactes and deleted all IPV4 entries for the domains. All seemed fine, but at Saturday I realized that my universal links stopped working for new user. What i´ve done to find the issue: Example domain that was used for debugging: "https://developffw.burns.fun" I´ve verified the AASA file is hosted properly by using different browsers and Postman to retrieve it. The file can be accessed and the certificates look fine.

I´v even created a new app for this purpose and created a new AASA entry and associated link. Same issue. I´m pretty much lost here. Everything looks fine from my side. Google assetlinks.json seem to work fine. I would really appreciate some help on how to solve this, i´m at my wits end.

I am developing a program on my chip and attempting to establish a connection with the WiFi Aware demo app launched by iOS 26. Currently, I am encountering an issue during the pairing phase. If I am the subscriber of the service and successfully complete the follow-up frame exchange of pairing bootstrapping, I see the PIN code displayed by iOS. Question 1: How should I use this PIN code? Question 2: Subsequently, I need to negotiate keys with iOS through PASN. What should I use as the password for the PASN SAE process? If I am the subscriber of the service and successfully complete the follow-up frame exchange of pairing bootstrapping, I should display the PIN code. Question 3: How do I generate this PIN code? Question 4: Subsequently, I need to negotiate keys with iOS through PASN. What should I use as the password for the PASN SAE process?

Hi all, I have a working macOS (Intel) system extension app that currently uses only a Content Filter (NEFilterDataProvider). I need to capture/log HTTP and HTTPS traffic in plain text, and I understand NETransparentProxyProvider is the right extension type for that. For HTTPS I will need TLS inspection / a MITM proxy — I’m new to that and unsure how complex it will be. For DNS data (in plain text), can I use the same extension, or do I need a separate extension type such as NEPacketTunnelProvider, NEFilterPacketProvider, or NEDNSProxyProvider? Current architecture: Two Xcode targets: MainApp and a SystemExtension target. The SystemExtension target contains multiple network extension types. MainApp ↔ SystemExtension communicate via a bidirectional NSXPC connection. I can already enable two extensions (Content Filter and TransparentProxy). With the NETransparentProxy, I still need to implement HTTPS capture. Questions I’d appreciate help with: Can NETransparentProxy capture the DNS fields I need (dns_hostname, dns_query_type, dns_response_code, dns_answer_number, etc.), or do I need an additional extension type to capture DNS in plain text? If a separate extension is required, is it possible or problematic to include that extension type (Packet Tunnel / DNS Proxy / etc.) in the same SystemExtension Xcode target as the TransparentProxy? Any recommended resources or guidance on TLS inspection / MITM proxy setup for capturing HTTPS logs? There are multiple DNS transport types — am I correct that capturing DNS over UDP (port 53) is not necessarily sufficient? Which DNS types should I plan to handle? I’ve read that TransparentProxy and other extension types (e.g., Packet Tunnel) cannot coexist in the same Xcode target. Is that true? Best approach for delivering logs from multiple extensions to the main app (is it feasible)? Or what’s the best way to capture logs so an external/independent process (or C/C++ daemon) can consume them? Required data to capture (not limited to): All HTTP/HTTPS (request, body, URL, response, etc.) DNS fields: dns_hostname, dns_query_type, dns_response_code, dns_answer_number, and other DNS data — all in plain text. I’ve read various resources but remain unclear which extension(s) to use and whether multiple extension types can be combined in one Xcode target. Please ask if you need more details. Thank you.

We are developing a hybrid iOS app where Angular content is rendered inside a WKWebView, hosted by a native Swift application. We use the GameController framework to detect whether an external Bluetooth keyboard is connected to an iPad. The following code is executed when the app enters the foreground and also when requested by the web layer: func keyboardStatusHandler(){ let isKeyboardConnected = GCKeyboard.coalesced != nil if(!isKeyboardConnected){ //sent status to Angular } else { //sent status to Angular } } Crash details We are seeing intermittent crashes on iPad with the following stack trace: Crashed: GCDeviceSession.HID 0 libobjc.A.dylib 0x7db8 objc_retain_x8 + 16 1 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0xfb8 void HelperBase<ExtendedInline>::copyCapture<(HelperBase<ExtendedInline>::BlockCaptureKind)3>(unsigned int) + 48 2 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0xbc4 HelperBase<GenericInline>::copyBlock(Block_layout*, Block_layout*) + 108 3 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0xc94 _call_copy_helpers_excp + 60 4 libsystem_blocks.dylib 0xef8 _Block_copy + 412 5 libdispatch.dylib 0x1a70 _dispatch_Block_copy + 32 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x792c dispatch_async + 56 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x792c dispatch_channel_async + 56 8 GameController 0xea6dc -[GCKeyboardInput _handleKeyboardEvent:] + 324 9 GameController 0x22508 __53-[_GCKeyboardEventHIDAdapter initWithSource:service:]_block_invoke + 376 10 GameController 0x11d30 -[_GCHIDEventSubject publishHIDEvent:] + 268 11 GameController 0xb79cc __40-[_GCHIDEventUIKitClient initWithQueue:]_block_invoke_3 + 44 12 libdispatch.dylib 0x1b584 _dispatch_client_callout + 16 13 libdispatch.dylib 0x12088 _dispatch_async_and_wait_invoke_and_complete_recurse + 272 14 libdispatch.dylib 0x8448 _dispatch_async_and_wait_f + 108 15 GameController 0xb7984 __40-[_GCHIDEventUIKitClient initWithQueue:]_block_invoke_2 + 132 16 GameController 0xb746c __48-[__GCHIDEventUIKitClient _initWithApplication:]_block_invoke + 256 17 UIKitCore 0x11fd394 __61-[UIEventFetcher _setHIDGameControllerEventObserver:onQueue:]_block_invoke_3 + 40 18 libdispatch.dylib 0x1aac _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 32 19 libdispatch.dylib 0x1b584 _dispatch_client_callout + 16 20 libdispatch.dylib 0xa2d0 _dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 740 21 libdispatch.dylib 0xadac _dispatch_lane_invoke + 388 22 libdispatch.dylib 0x151dc _dispatch_root_queue_drain_deferred_wlh + 292 23 libdispatch.dylib 0x14a60 _dispatch_workloop_worker_thread + 540 24 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0xa0c _pthread_wqthread + 292 25 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0xaac start_wqthread + 8 Observed scenarios Crash occurs when the app transitions from background to foreground Crash also occurs when the Angular layer requests keyboard status, triggering the same code path Questions Has anyone encountered crashes related to GCKeyboard.coalesced or GCKeyboardInput like this? Are there known issues with the GameController framework when querying keyboard state during app lifecycle transitions? Is there a recommended or safer way to detect external keyboard connection status on iPad (especially when using WKWebView)? Any insights, known platform issues, or suggested workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
