We have universal links which takes user to various journeys in the app when user clicks on the link, however it works only when app is installed. If app is not installed link takes user to the App Store and when the user installs and opens the app, the link does not launch the intended deeplink flow.
Is there any way we can pass context to app store and receive it when user opens the app?
Android provides similar functionality using install referral lib. Checking if similar is possible in iOS.

I installed MacOS Sequoia 15.4 and now my backup script no longer works.
My script is using rsync in this way:
rsync -avz —delete —log-file=“$LOG_FILE” “$SRC_DIR” “$DEST_DIR”
This has been working fine for a very long time.
After updating to 15.4, this produces the error “rsync: unrecognized action —log-file=/users/admin/logs/backuplog_xxx.log”.
The log file path is correct (and hasn’t changed).
Interestingly, the man page for rsync no longer shows the —log-file as an option.
I know I can use:
rsync -avz —delete “$SRC_DIR” “$DEST_DIR” > “$LOG_FILE”`
or even
rsync -avz —delete “$SRC_DIR” “$DEST_DIR” > “$LOG_FILE” 2>&1`
to also capture stderr.
However, I liked the output from the built-In log option.
Does anyone know why this might have been removed or if there is a way to get it back?
Thanks.
Hi.
I have three disk partitions on my MacBook Air M1.
The one with Monterey, the one with Sonoma, and the one with Sequoia (15.3.1 in particular).
When I try to download the 15.4 Beta from software update in settings, everything would go "fine" - the download process is being completed, the computer says it's going to restart in 60seconds, the countdown begins, etc.
However, when restarting several times, I am being logged in once again into previous macOS (15.3.1) version, with a kernel panic report. I had the same panic on macOS 15.3 when attempting to download 15.4 Beta. I've upgraded my macOS to 15.3.1, as I thought I'd need the very last available version of regular macOS to participate in the newest beta.
However, the panic occurs, pointing to some t8020dart.c file. I don't even theoretically know what is this and couldn't find any reference to that C file.
Attaching a part of panic report:
panic(cpu 3 caller 0x0): t8020dart 0xfffffdf02c980000 (dart-disp0): Can't ignore lock validation @t8020dart.c:535

Question:
I have created a workspace containing a SwiftUI app and two frameworks:
B Framework: Handles UI components
C Framework: Handles service classes
I added a Podfile to manage dependencies. My Podfile is structured as follows:
inhibit_all_warnings!
workspace 'ABC.xcworkspace'
def shared_pods
# Shared pods here
pod 'Alamofire'
end
target 'A' do
use_frameworks!
project 'A/A.xcodeproj'
shared_pods
end
target 'B' do
use_frameworks!
project 'B/B.xcodeproj'
shared_pods
end
target 'C' do
use_frameworks!
project 'C/C.xcodeproj'
shared_pods
end
post_install do |installer|
installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target|
target.build_configurations.each do |config|
config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '13.0'
end
end
end
After installing pods and building the project, everything works fine except for Xcode’s SwiftUI Preview, which crashes with the following error:
xcpreviewagent crashed because Alamofire.framework is missing
Question:
How can I resolve this issue and make SwiftUI Previews work without Xcode crashing?
Hey guys.
I’m working on a project where I’m using the SwiftTesting framework instead of XCTest to run my unit tests. I have a file (test.png) located in my test resources folder:
PackageName > Tests > PackageNameTests > Resources > test.png
I’m trying to access this file in my tests, but I’m running into issues when trying to load it dynamically. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
Using Bundle.module.path(forResource:ofType:): This approach didn’t work, as Bundle.module seems to be unsupported or returns nil in Swift Testing.
Using #file Macro for Relative Paths: I tried constructing a path based on #file and navigating to the resources directory, but it also didn’t yield the correct path.
Has anyone successfully loaded test resources in the Swift Testing framework? Is there a recommended way to access resource files in Swift Testing, especially for projects where Bundle.module isn’t available?
I've gone through the Apple Docs for Swift Testing, but I can't seem to find anything that answers my question.
Thanks in advance guys!
After upgrading to the latest Sequoia on Intel, I am getting warnings like:
2025-02-07 19:01:13.576 Emacs-x86_64-10_14[3780:303891] +[IMKClient subclass]: chose IMKClient_Modern

on my own programs as well as others like Emacs. Is there a way to silence these warnings? They seem to be a bug in this macOS release.

In the beta of Icon Composer, I see macOS, iOS, and watchOS icons, but there is nothing about visionOS and tvOS. Those icons are particularly hard and it would be great if this app worked for developing icons for all Apple platforms.
I tried asking this in a WWDC group lab, but they didn't get to it and suggested posting to the forum.

I'm trying to download the iOS 26 restore image for my iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is my test device. However, when I attempted to install it directly via the over-the-air (OTA) update, the iPhone rebooted to the iOS 26 "Welcome" screen, but with no touch functionality—the screen was completely unresponsive.
I restored the device back to iOS 18.5 and tried the OTA update again, but once more, the touch screen stopped working upon completion.
Now, I am trying to download the iOS 26 restore image from the official developer page (https://developer.apple.com/download/#ios-restore-images-ipad-new) to install it manually using my Mac. However, I've run into a problem with the download links:
The link for the iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 26) restore image actually downloads the iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 18.5) image.
Conversely, the link for the iPhone 14 Pro seems to provide the correct iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 26) image.
The issue is that when I try to restore my iPhone using this seemingly correct file, I receive an error that the firmware file is not valid or compatible. I suspect it's not being properly signed by Apple for my device during the restore process.
Does anyone have the correct, official download link for the iOS 26 restore image for the iPhone 14 Pro Max? How can I fix these errors?
Hi, I want to build an ios app that uses static c libraries. For reference, i did the following as a test:
Compiled a simple c date and time program with
clang -c -arch arm64 -sysroot <iPhoneOSSDK_path> date.c -o date_arm64.o
Created the static lib
ar rcs libdatetime_arm64.a date_arm64.o
Added the lib in my Xcode project.
Added the (.a) file in Build Rules -> Link Binary With Libraries
Included the (.a) and (.h) file path in Build Settings -> Search Paths -> Header and Library Search Path
Created a Bridging-Header.h file where I added
#import "date.h"
In my App.swift file, I called the function for getting the date and time
let dateTimeStr = String(cString: get_current_datetime())
print("Current Date and Time: \(dateTimeStr)")
After doing all the steps above, I am met with the error - Cannot find 'get_current_datetime' in scope
Is there any other method to use static c libraries in xcode?
"UITests recording reports 'The capability "Create Service Socket" is not supported by this device.' on M1 chip, but works normally on Intel chip."
I would like to create iOS App that have MTP-USB functions.
So I have the following questions:
1.Is it possible to create an application with MTP-USB function using .NET MAUI?
2.If 1. is possible, how should I implement it?
The devices I plan to use are iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro.
Thanks.
I created 2 iOS projects in Xcode:
Project 1:
4 targets (main app + 3 app extensions)
4 static libraries
the main app's target dependencies include - 3 app extensions and the 4 libs.
the main app's binary is linked to all 4 libs
similarly, each extension is linked to all 4 libs
Project 2:
5 targets (main app + 3 app extensions + 1 framework)
4 static libraries
the main app's target dependencies include - 3 app extensions and the framework
each extension is dependent only on the framework
the framework's target dependencies include all the 4 static libs
As per my understanding, the app bundle size for Project 2 should be less than that of Project 1, since we eliminate duplicating the static libs for each target by using a framework instead.
However, I have found that the bundle size is more for Project 2 as compared to the bundle size of project 1.
I do not understand, why?
Hi,
Apple changed the renewal rate for auto renewable subscriptions in testflight to 24hrs and after 6 renewals it is supposed to expire. My subscription is now active for more than 13 days, it didnt expire as its supposed to. I heard that there is no chance to cancel it manually. Is there anyone else who had this problem and found a solution? I use RevenueCat to manage subscriptions. Maybe its because they have not adapted to apples update yet. Are there any other RevenueCat users that can confirm this experience? Or non RC users who don't have the issue I'm facing? Any responds are welcome.
Here's a simple C++ program that echoes its arguments...
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
for (int i=0; i<argc; ++i) printf("%d %s\n", i, argv[i]);
}
This works as expected...
> ./test arg1 #arg2 arg3
0 ./test
1 arg1
2 #arg2
3 arg3
Running under lldb gives this...
> lldb ./test arg1 #arg2 arg3
(lldb) target create "./test"
Current executable set to '/Users/richard/Work/test' (arm64).
(lldb) settings set -- target.run-args "arg1" "#arg2" "arg3"
(lldb) run
Process 6138 launched: '/Users/richard/Work/test' (arm64)
0 /Users/richard/Work/test
1 arg1
Process 6138 exited with status = 0 (0x00000000)
I get the same if I quote the arguments, or if I add them to the run line. Stepping into main() we see the argv and args values are as though we only had the first argument. If I quote the second argument and add an initial space " #arg1" then it works.
I first saw this on an M1 running Sequoia 13.1. It am now on OS 13.3.

We are building a framework which will be used by other apps. Want to integrate crash reporting and diagnostics for our framework. Want to report crashes to our backend happening inside our framework only and ignore app level crashes. Is it possible to filter crashes like that ?
I've been using the weather kit API for months now without issue, but all of a sudden API queries return the response {"reason": "EXPIRED"}. The code around this area hasn't changed since June and the credentials haven't changed. The JWT is refreshed frequently (well within expiration). Have looked at the generated JWT in jwt.io and Payload and Header details correct and jwt.io reports JWT as "signature verified".
Is the JWT a red herring and its something else?
Here's an example URL:
