Is it even possible or part of VisionOS? Thanks, Colin

For my app Find Any File, of which both releases and TestFlight betas were released many times, the TestFlight page tells me that several users have submitted crash reports. And I'm sure the same is true for the MAS releases: (Yes, this shows quite recent ones, but I've seen similar supposed crash report submits in this list before.) However, the actual "Crashes" listing on the appstoreconnect sites hasn't show any new crash reports for many months now: (This is the entirety of crash reports I can get listed, even when removing all filters.) Something appears to be stuck, on Apple's end. The same issue is with Xcode's Organanizer window, for "Crashes": It also used to list only the same very old reports and nothing since May 2024. And just now, when I retried this in Xcode, I'm shown a weird error message I never saw before: Error Downloading Crashes List An error occurred… Access Restricted with adam id: 1207815783 And yes, I'm logged in just fine, under Prefs / Accounts. How am I going to get this investigated? I had already sent an email about this to the Review team, who didn't react to it at all. DTS is only for Code level support, which this isn't. Any help?

I've been messing around with converting my app icons to use Icon Composer. My app has multiple app icons, but I've noticed that I cant seem to set .icon files using the alternate app icon api. I believe this is due to the requirement that alternate app icons live in the Assets Catalogue but .icon files go anywhere in your project. Is there any plan to support this? Or am i missing something? I was able to successfully set a .icon file for the primary app icon.

I have created and Ios app using xojo, and run using the Xcode simulator. I want to test it on my phone and don't seed to put it on the app store as it is for personal use. I've seen pages that indicate a free apple developer option is available for a limited time but can't for the live of me get my app to actually run on my phone. I've tried both apple configurator and xcode to add my app with no luck

Hi, I run a service that protects API calls from Apple ecosystem apps with several layers of security, one of them being DeviceCheck's server-to-server functionality. All requests arrive with a DeviceCheck token that I send to Apple to validate. Essentially I'm using the functionality listed here: The server-to-server APIs also let you verify that the token you receive comes from your app on an Apple device. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicecheck However, occasionally I see huge bursts of traffic that contain valid DeviceCheck tokens from a scripter. I want to understand how they are generating them. It seems like they have identified a way to forge tokens. Here are traffic patterns for my site. The scale of the y-axis is somewhat arbitrary due to how I'm sampling the requests, but you get the gist. You can see the dark green bars at the bottom are general traffic, and the light green is what we rejected (we have other layers besides DeviceCheck that reject traffic). Interestingly, though, all those light green requests contained valid device check tokens! I have thousands of the tokens stored in a file for analysis. Are there known ways that Apple knows of tokens being forged? I wanted to open a TSI for this but the flow requires an Xcode project, and there is no Xcode project to demonstrate this issue. I would really like to get in contact with someone from Apple that either works on DeviceCheck or supports it. Hundreds of apps in the store depend on my service, and DeviceCheck forms a layer of security that I want to rely on. Obviously we can't solely rely on it, and we don't, but it does form an important layer of our defense. So I ask: If you know of a way to forge tokens, please comment and I'll shoot you a DM If you work at Apple and know who I can talk to, please help me work through the process to get in touch with them. Thanks, Lou

I just noticed that when you check the online documentation for Foundation using the delicious Objective-C flavor, some values are no more the expected ones: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/filemanager/copyitem(at:to:)?language=objc#return-value true if the item was copied successfully or the file manager’s delegate stopped the operation deliberately. Returns false if an error occurred. Considering that a BOOL used to be YES or NO for the last quarter of a century, I have the following question: [Q] What is the idea behind the disturbing changes of the Objective-C documentation?

Up to now I've been building my x64 binaries on Sequioa specifying a target macOS level of 13.4. That worked fine. In an attempt to debug a problem that was causing some pain I created a 13.4 x64 build environment and tried to build the code there. This code: using CacheKeyType = std::filesystem::path; using CacheValueType = std::tuple<LoadedImage, int, bool>; // <image, lastUse, currentlyLoading> using CacheType = std::unordered_map<CacheKeyType, CacheValueType>; friend class ThreadLoader; static inline constexpr int16_t MAXIMAGESINCACHE = 20; static inline constinit std::atomic_int age{ 0 }; static inline std::shared_mutex rwMutex{}; static inline CacheType imageCache{}; got me the following errors: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX13.3.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/__hash_table:838:5: error: static_assert failed due to requirement 'integral_constant<bool, false>::value' "the specified hash does not meet the Hash requirements" static_assert(__check_hash_requirements<_Key, _Hash>::value, ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX13.3.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/__hash_table:853:1: note: in instantiation of template class 'std::__enforce_unordered_container_requirements<std::filesystem::path, std::hash<std::filesystem::path>, std::equal_to<std::filesystem::path>>' requested here typename __enforce_unordered_container_requirements<_Key, _Hash, _Equal>::type ^ /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX13.3.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/unordered_map:1152:30: note: while substituting explicitly-specified template arguments into function template '__diagnose_unordered_container_requirements' static_assert(sizeof(__diagnose_unordered_container_requirements<_Key, _Hash, _Pred>(0)), ""); ^ /Users/amonra/.vs/DSS/build/DeepSkyStackerKernel/DeepSkyStackerKernel_autogen/EWIEGA46WW/../../../../DeepSkyStackerKernel/imageloader.h:60:26: note: in instantiation of member function 'std::unordered_map<std::filesystem::path, std::tuple<LoadedImage, int, bool>>::~unordered_map' requested here static inline CacheType imageCache{}; ^ 2 errors generated. Which isn't "mega-helpful" :( I thought that specifying: set(CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 13.4 CACHE STRING "Minimum operating system version for deployment" FORCE) would have made the compilations use the same headers as for Ventura above, but it seems not? Is this to be expected?

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.

hey I accidentally deleted my info.plist with holds my app version and other critical things and I don't know how to get it back or how to recode it

Hello, I am experiencing crash on TopShelf and I checked all the crashlogs, but I don't know how to interpret it. I see only addresses in the trace logs, so it's really hard to understand what's going on. Is there a way how to symbolicate frames 5 - 17? Does anybody have an idea, what can be wrong?

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?

We are developing a Flutter application targeted for MacOS and Windows . We are using the FlutterMacOS and connectivity_plus packages in our app But whenever we are releasing a version to App Store we are getting the privacy manifest file missing for above 2 packages We tried to add xcPrivacy file inside the Runner Xcode project. But that doesn't solve the issue Adding the relevant lines from the warning email getting from App Store below "ITMS-91061: Missing privacy manifest - Your app includes “Contents/Frameworks/FlutterMacOS.framework/Versions/A/FlutterMacOS”, which includes Flutter, an SDK that was identified in the documentation as a commonly used third-party SDK. Starting February 12, 2025, if a new app includes a commonly used third-party SDK, or an app update adds a new commonly used third-party SDK, the SDK must include a privacy manifest file or you won’t be able to submit the app for review in App Store Connect.

Hello, I'm checking to see if anyone else is experiencing an issue downloading the latest beta simulator. When I try to download the iOS 26 beta 5 simulator in Xcode, the download fails instantly. There is no progress, just an immediate error with no message other than the code itself: DVTDownloadableErrorDomain Code: 41. I've already restarted both Xcode and the Mac multiple times. I have also tried downloading on different networks to rule out a firewall issue.

Hi, I'm using the following command to extract information about the code coverage: xcrun xcresulttool get --format json --path /some/path/to/xcresult However, since Xcode 16 I get: Error: This command is deprecated and will be removed in a future release, --legacy flag is required to use it. But this message doesn't tell us what's the alternative to get the same result. Or are you just getting rid of useful functionality and there is no alternative?

I have one iOS device running iOS 16.7.10. When I run xcrun devicectl list devices I can't see that device at all. Is that know limitation (devicectl only work in iOS 17 and above) or is something wrong with my setup. Also is there some documention about devicectl. I can't seem to find anything about in the offical apple sites.

Hi Team, How can I share info beetween two differnt App. What king of approach should I use. Thanks in advance. In my case I whant to share a token or an string like "GM-8090"

I would like to inquire about a concern related to the app review process. Specifically, I would like to understand if forcefully denying an application's execution on the iOS Simulator (for instance, by implementing a check in the code that prevents the app from running in a simulated environment) could negatively impact or delay the app’s approval during the App Store review process. This measure is intended solely for security and integrity reasons during development and distribution. The app functions normally on real devices, and all other guidelines and requirements outlined by Apple are being strictly followed. Could you please confirm whether such a restriction on the Simulator is acceptable, and if there are any best practices or recommendations from Apple regarding this? Thank you for your support, and I look forward to your guidance.

I am new. I have never used Swift nor XCode or the CLI. But I have found and managed to test my App that I created for testing on my iPhone. I have absolutely no intentions to put it on the App Store. I even made it Open-Source on GitHub. I learned a lot of things and ways to prevent crashes, but unfortunately I am slowly starting to lose the ability to put my App on my iOS. I am new here as a developer. But I have troubles to create a Developer Account, so I am not sure what I should do. Here's what I think I am having issues with: I feel like you can only create a Developer Account if you have a business, is this true? I really find it cool to test my own App on my own phone. But I want to do it in an official way. But I don't know how. Others have told me that you'd need a License for the App Store. But I am not trying to put it on the App Store, will this make it impossible for me to test my own app? Why make an app if not putting it on the App Store? You can learn. If you make good Apps or Libraries, you can provide them to other Developers! Maybe even an opportunity to collab with someone and even indeed put it on the App Store with a valid Developer Account. Seriously, if I wouldn't have been able to test my iOS app through other ways on my iPhone, I'd have never been able to make a short breakdown about AVAudioEngine and AVAudioSession. I've seen people that have run into these crashes. I tried to look up for a fix, but found none. I saw apps that allowed you to use a Microphone on a Laptop/PC and I decided to make my own one to test, and succeded, while I yet need to figure out a few crashes, I managed to do it, and I really want to continue and actually use my own App... So I was really happy that I could make a post to provide a guide in hopes that it would help someone. And I would do more, but I really need help with figuring out how I can test my own app on my own phone. I hope that Developer Relations can help with this.

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.

Previously, it was possible to download the dSYM file from the App Store Connect account. However, Apple has recently discontinued this option. How can you obtain the necessary dSYM file for Firebase?
