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.

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, 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)

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)" } } }

Hello We are developers of a long-running game series and now reports have started to come in that users who install any of our previous games from the Mac App Store on OS X Sequoia are shown a popup claiming "The exit(173) API is no longer available". It's actually a lie, the mechanism is still there, the receipt generation still works and the game still runs afterwards. But the popup is confusing to users therefore we need to update the code. Apparently the replacement for the old receipt generation mechanism is AppTransaction which does not exist for Objective C. We have attempted to use it using the Swift/ObjC interoperability and failed so far. The problem is that we need to call async methods in AppTransaction and all our attempts to make this work have failed so far. It seems as the actor/@MainActor concept is not supported by Swift/ObjC interoperability and without those concepts we don't know how to pass results from the async context to the callers from ObjC. The lack of usable information and code online regarding this topic is highly frustrating. Apple really needs to provide better support for developers if they want us to continue to support the Mac platform with high quality games and applications on the Mac App Store. We would appreciate if anyone can cook up a working sample code how to use AppTransaction in ObjC. Thanks in advance!

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?

We uploaded to App Store Connect a new app version with new subscription groups & items. Everything was approved, and we received the emails from App Store connect, but if we visit our App Store Connect account App, some of these subscription items are still "Waiting for review" for more than 4 days. It has no sense as the email informed us that the new app version and all the items had been approved. The app is online, but some subscription items are not available. We even uploaded a new app version, it was updated, but the subscription items are still "Waiting for review". Has anyone faced this problem? How do you solved it? We have contacted App Store Connect but it is pretty difficult to get real assistance, most of the time they reply with template email answers.

I am getting recurring errors running code on macOS 15.1 on arm that is using a volume mounted from a machine running macOS 14.7.1 on x86. The code I am running copies files to the remote volume and deletes files and directories on the remote volume. The files and directories it deletes are typically files it previously had copied. The problem is that I get permission failures trying to delete certain directories. After this happens, if I try to list the directory using Terminal on the 15.1 system, I get a strange error: ls -lA TestVAppearances.app/Contents/runtime-arm/Contents total 0 ls: fts_read: Permission denied If I try to list the directory on the target (14.7.1) system, there is no error: TestVAppearances.app/Contents/runtime-arm/Contents: total 0

It looks like Apple has added some new API(s) to SFSpeechRecognition My app, which is currently listed on App Store does feature speech recognition. Yet, trying to use it under iOS 18.0 throws errors: -[SFSpeechRecognitionTask localSpeechRecognitionClient:speechRecordingDidFail:]_block_invoke Ignoring subsequent local speech recording error: Error Domain=kAFAssistantErrorDomain Code=1101 "(null)" What happens is that after several words are transcribed and displayed, the next sentence results in previous words disappearance. That's probably what that portion of the error text - "Ignoring subsequent local speech recording error: Error Domain=kAFAssistantErrorDomain Code=1101 "(null)" means. The problem occurs ONLY when the app is running under iOS 18.0 Even when it's compiled in Xcode 16.0 using iOS 17.5 everything works fine. Any suggestions?

Dove in and upgraded two Macs today to beta 1. Unfortunately, it appears L2TP VPN is broken or something changed in the way it works. I can longer get a connection to any VPN concentrator I used previously. I tested with Cisco Anyconnect SSL VPN client and can connect to the same concentrators (as they're configured to accept L2TP or SSL clients). I also tested from my phone running iOS 16 beta and it still works for the L2TP connections. The Mac not working with L2TP VPN ppp.log shows this Fri Jun 10 19:18:52 2022 : L2TP connecting to server 'IP removed' (IP removed)... Fri Jun 10 19:18:52 2022 : IPSec connection started Fri Jun 10 19:18:52 2022 : IPSec phase 1 client started Fri Jun 10 19:19:02 2022 : IPSec connection failed Connecting a Mac successfully on 12.4 the log shows Fri Jun 10 19:12:33 2022 : L2TP connecting to server 'IP removed' (IP removed)...

But, now that it is broke and I need it for work I'm kinda screwed myself. Anyway, if anyone knows a way to fix this please let me know.

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've been seeing a high number of BGTaskScheduler related crashes, all of them coming from iOS 18.4. I've encountered this myself once on launch upon installing my app, but haven't been able to reproduce it since, even after doing multiple relaunches and reinstalls. Crash report attached at the bottom of this post. I am not even able to symbolicate the reports despite having the archive on my MacBook: Does anyone know if this is an iOS 18.4 bug or am I doing something wrong when scheduling the task? Below is my code for scheduling the background task on the view that appears when my app launches: .onChange(of: scenePhase) { newPhase in if newPhase == .active { #if !os(macOS) let request = BGAppRefreshTaskRequest(identifier: "notifications") request.earliestBeginDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .hour, value: 3, to: Date()) do { try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) Logger.notifications.log("Background task scheduled.

I am seeking assistance with how to properly handle / save / reuse NWConnections when it comes to the NWBrowser vs NWListener. Let me give some context surrounding why I am trying to do what I am. I am building an iOS app that has peer to peer functionality. The design is for a user (for our example the user is Bob) to have N number of devices that have my app installed on it. All these devices are near each other or on the same wifi network. As such I want all the devices to be able to discover each other and automatically connect to each other. For example if Bob had three devices (A, B, C) then A discovers B and C and has a connection to each, B discovers B and C and has a connection to each and finally C discovers A and B and has a connection to each. In the app there is a concept of a leader and a follower. A leader device issues commands to the follower devices. A follower device just waits for commands. For our example device A is the leader and devices B and C are followers. Any follower device can opt to become a leader. So if Bob taps the “become leader” button on device B - device B sends out a message to all the devices it’s connected to telling them it is becoming the new leader. Device B doesn’t need to do anything but device A needs to set itself as a follower. This detail is to show my need to have everyone connected to everyone. Please note that I am using .includePeerToPeer = true in my NWParameters. I am using http/3 and QUIC. I am using P12 identity for TLS1.3. I am successfully able to verify certs in sec_protocal_options_set_verify_block. I am able to establish connections - both from the NWBrowser and from NWListener. My issue is that it’s flaky. I found that I have to put a 3 second delay prior to establishing a connection to a peer found by the NWBrowser. I also opted to not save the incoming connection from NWListener. I only save the connection I created from the peer I found in NWBrowser. For this example there is Device X and Device Y. Device X discovers device Y and connects to it and saves the connection. Device Y discovers device X and connects to it and saves the connection. When things work they work great - I am able to send messages back and forth. Device X uses the saved connection to send a message to device Y and device Y uses the saved connection to send a message to device X. Now here come the questions. Do I save the connection I create from the peer I discovered from the NWBrowser? Do I save the connection I get from my NWListener via newConnectionHandler? And when I save a connection (be it from NWBrowser or NWListener) am I able to reuse it to send data over (ie “i am the new leader command”)? When my NWBrowser discovers a peer, should I be able to build a connection and connect to it immediately? I know if I save the connection I create from the peer I discover I am able to send messages with it. I know if I save the connection from NWListener - I am NOT able to send messages with it — but should I be able to? I have a deterministic algorithm for who makes a connection to who. Each device has an ID - it is a UUID I generate when the app loads - I store it in UserDefaults and the next time I try and fetch it so I’m not generating new UUIDs all the time. I set this deviceID as the name of the NWListener.Service I create. As a result the peer a NWBrowser discovers has the deviceID set as its name. Due to this the NWBrowser is able to determine if it should try and connect to the peer or if it should not because the discovered peer is going to try and connect to it. So the algorithm above would be great if I could save and use the connection from NWListener to send messages over.

Hi, We've noticed that this issue occurs more frequently after upgrading to iOS 18.4.1 and can result in one-way audio. Our app uses CallKit with WebRTC to establish VoIP connections. However, on iOS 18.4.1, CallKit no longer triggers: func provider(_ provider: CXProvider, didActivate audioSession: AVAudioSession) We're currently comparing the occurrence rate across different iOS versions to better understand the impact. Could you please help analyze the root cause of this issue?

I am able to symbolicate kernel backtraces for addresses that belong to my kext. Is it possible to symbolicate kernel backtraces for addresses that lie beyond my kext and reference kernel code? Sample kernel panic log

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

After updating to iOS 17.5 & WatchOS 10.5, the didFinish response from WCSessionDelegate does not come when transferring files from iPhone to Watch. It worked normally until 17.4 & 10.4. There is no problem with checking file completion even if a didFinish response is not received, but I think Apple needs to check this issue and update. File transfer is done using the transferFile function of WCSession. The file being transferred is a single file and its size does not exceed 30MB. When you try to transfer Pi, the message below appears in the Xcode log section. -[WCFileStorage persistOutgoingFileTransfer:] error serializing file transfer <WCSessionFileTransfer: 0x300155d60, session file: <WCSessionFile: 0x3001575c0, identifier: 0C8857EC-7D74-4E78-BA28-6C5526DE8949, file: /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/DD797847-DED1-42C0-989F-34CD05825007/tmp/C042D096-F12B-4B50-8792-868475DBBF47.zip, hasMetadata: YES>, transferring: YES> due to Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4866 "Caught exception during archival: This object may only be encoded by an NSXPCCoder.

WorkoutKit WorkoutScheduler seems broken with the first beta of iOS 18.2. I have tested using my app from Xcode and the one that is on the App Store (and working properly on other devices), and it's not working with this new beta of iOS. They appears in WorkoutScheduler.shared.scheduledWorkouts, but not on the watch. I even tried with other apps that do the same with Manual add to Apple Watch with SwiftUI workoutPreview work.

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?

Hi Team, OS is prompting for local network permission for our application which runs as root level daemon. As per the our analysis, it looks like it is prompting from our own library which is trying to get network info ' using /usr/sbin/system_profiler with "-xml -detailLevel basic SPNetworkDataType" and then trying to iterate to find DNS.ServerAddresses for each item. Then using [NSHost hostWithAddress:IPAddress];(When this library is not linked to the app then there is no prompt, so most likely this is the code that is resulting in the prompt). Is this expected ? . Is there any other way that we can get DNS host name without being prompted for local network permission on mac OS 15

I'm using SwiftData with an @Model and am also using an @ModelActor. I've fixed all concurrency issues and have migrated to Swift 6. I am getting a console error that I do not understand how to clear. I get this error in Swift 6 and Swift 5. I do not experience any issue with the app. It seems to be working well. But I want to try to get all issues taken care of. I am using the latest Xcode beta. error: the replacement path doesn't exist: "/var/folders/1q/6jw9d6mn0gx1znh1n19z2v9r0000gp/T/swift-generated-sources/@_swiftmacro_17MyAppName14MyModelC4type18_PersistedPr> opertyfMa.swift"
