Hi everyone. I’m working on an iOS app that uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send push notifications. I’m encountering an issue when trying to send notifications either from Firebase Functions or directly using the FCM token with the Firebase Admin SDK and REST API. Error Message: FirebaseMessagingError: Auth error from APNS or Web Push Service code: 'messaging/third-party-auth-error' message: 'Auth error from APNS or Web Push Service' What I’ve Set Up: iOS App Registered in Firebase Bundle ID: Kilovative-Designs.ParkAware APNs Key downloaded from Apple Developer Portal Team ID and Key ID correctly entered in Firebase Console Firebase Admin SDK Service Account setup and used for sending Device is successfully receiving FCM tokens Subscribed to topics and calling Messaging.messaging().subscribe(toTopic:) works Using firebase-admin to send FCM messages via sendToDevice or sendToTopic What I’ve Tried: Tested push via firebase-admin in Node.js (got same APNs auth error) Tested with both topic-based and direct token-based push Confirmed the .p8 key is uploaded in Firebase, with correct Key ID and Team ID Tried generating a new APNs Auth Key Firebase Admin SDK is initialized with the correct service account Using Node.js firebase-admin with a known good FCM token, and sending this payload: { notification: { title: "Test Notification", body: "This is a direct FCM test" }, token: "cxleOwi73EhFh9C5_V4hED:APA91bE3W..." } Returns: FirebaseMessagingError: Auth error from APNS or Web Push Service Questions: Are there known conditions under which Firebase throws this error even if the APNs Auth Key is present? Does the Bundle ID need to start with com. in the Apple Developer Portal and Firebase for APNs authentication to work? Could this be a certificate or provisioning profile mismatch issue (even when using a .p8 key)? Is there a way to manually validate APNs authentication from Firebase outside of actual push delivery? Any insight or guidance would be incredibly helpful. I’m new to developing and have tried repeated efforts to fix this issue but still haven’t resolved it. Thanks in advance!

I am trying to make an app icon 20 x 20 pixel dimension. I cannot get the icon to be sized this way. It gets blurry. I have used adobe express + illustrator. I have not been able to size it. It is a 400 x 400 dimension png. I want the proportion to be 20 x 20 without losing the clarity.

i have been added to an apple membership organization, and given App manager's rights b ut my build keeps failing and asking me to get more access

Hi! I wanted to use Lottie in my swiftpm app, but I've been running into errors and I'm not sure if it's possible. When I try to run the app, it crashes and I get errors saying that the library isn't loaded and the files aren't found (basically these: https://github.com/lottie-react-native/lottie-react-native/issues/373 , https://github.com/airbnb/lottie-ios/issues/2233 ). But moving the framework file into the PackageFrameworks folder doesn't work, and also I'm getting the error that swiftpm cannot distribute packages containing binary frameworks and from what I understand that just isn't something that swiftpm can do. So I was wondering if anyone knows any workarounds to this, or if I should just ditch Lottie? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

TL;DR version: AkVox - “Your App in Your User’s Language” Quickly and easily localize your app into as few or as many languages as you want with AkVox. Longer version: AkVox can localize any Xcode project. Simply drag your Exported Localizations folder into AkVox, click translate, then export, and you’re ready to import the translated localizations catalogs back into Xcode. Alas, you cannot import the whole localizations folder as one, you must import each catalog individually, a process that takes around 10 seconds per language. AkVox can also assist you when you’re ready to publish your app on App Store Connect. You can create a list of texts you will enter to promote your app and AkVox will translate them. Again, you can’t apply all your translations to the App Store in ne go, you have to apply each language individually. To make this task less painful, AkVox has a convenient set of buttons to make the copy and paste process as quick and simple as possible. The same arrangement is available when you come to add “mini texts” during setting monetization subscriptions. AkVox employs Google Cloud Translate which means you will need an API Key to be able to run full translations. However, Google offers a generous monthly allowance of 500,000 characters to be translated for free each month. This may well mean that you don’t ever pay for the translation process, just the very low price to use AkVox. The free version of AkVox simulates translating by substituting jumbled versions of Hamlet’s “To be or not to be” speech – this is instead of utilising what would normally be used in this case, the tediously dull Lorem Ipsum text. To see AkVox explained in detail, go to the website: https://akvox.com/

I am developing an iOS in-app SDK for collecting code coverage data. The SDK writes coverage data to a specified file by calling __llvm_profile_set_filename and __llvm_profile_write_file. This implementation worked correctly until I switched to Xcode 26.0 to build my project. Now, when __llvm_profile_write_file() is executed, it crashes with the following error stack. Can anyone provide any assistance?

On macOS, I get a system popup when running UI tests in GitHub saying: “bash” is requesting to bypass the system private window picker and directly access your screen and audio. How can I prevent these login and screen access popups from appearing during automated UI tests? Is there an official setup or configuration for running IntelliJ UI tests in CI environments (macOS, Linux, Windows) to avoid such dialogs? My builds run in GitHub Actions VMs, so I can’t manually grant these permissions, and they block the tests.

My application targets iOS 15+. Attempting to build and run it on my iPhone SE (orphaned at iOS 15.6) results in "Failed to prepare the device for development." I'm building with Xcode 15.2. What is the expected procedure here?

Hello, I'm doing an update to my app already IN the app store. The app is built using .Net Maui targeting iOS, Windows and Android. All works fine in debug and in release on Android and Windows. However, the app launches on my iOS devices and crashes immediately. I really have no idea what the crash report on the device is telling me. Attached is the .ips file if anyone can at least point me in the right direction... Thanks MyApp-2025-03-01-202630.ips

I have two feedbacks now where I’ve been requested additional info, and provided it, but the feedback still has an “unread” dot, and is still in the “Requests” folder. I’ve asked multiple times to clear this status in one of those feedbacks (FB14888965), but got no response. Not the end of the world as long as the engineers are notified, but iirc the dot would disappear as soon as I replied.

I am integrating On Demand Resources into my Unity game. The resources install without any problems if the internet connection is stable: all resources are installed. While testing various scenarios without an internet connection, I encountered the following problem: if I turn off the internet during installation, I don't get any error messages, but if I turn the internet back on, the download no longer continues (and I still don't get an error). If I reopen the application with a stable internet connection, the download will always be at 0%.

With the latest (26) version of Apple's developer tools, is there a way to manually attach a debugger (other than lldb) to an iOS app launched with "devicectl device process launch --start-stopped"? In the past, this was possible via the ios-deploy third-party tool (now defunct), which provided a debugserver port. This information is notably missing when using devicectrl – although the process ID of the launch process is provided, and the tool is clearly aimed at letting you launch and attach to processes from the command line. lldb can, of course, attach via its built-in support for this using the device set of commands. But I'm explicitly looking for a way to attach my own debugger via the GDB-compatible debug proxy.

In our App we have a need to open Apple Developer App from our iOS App to guide user to Developer App. But looks like there is no confirmed URL Scheme provided. Can you help on this.

I am developing a Flutter app for food delivery (a multivendor e-commerce restaurant app). In the vendor app (Android), I successfully implemented a background notification that stays active until the vendor responds with either Accept or Decline. This works fine on Android, but I cannot get the same functionality working on iOS. My requirements: Vendor should receive a background notification. The notification should include action buttons (Accept / Decline). It should remain active until the vendor takes action. My questions: Is this possible to implement in iOS with Flutter? If yes, what is the recommended way (e.g., firebase_messaging, flutter_local_notifications, flutter_foreground_task, or native iOS integration)? Are there any iOS restrictions I should consider compared to Android background services? I built this for Android using firebase_messaging + flutter_foreground_task + flutter_local_notifications. On iOS, I tried setting up firebase_messaging and flutter_local_notifications, but I’m unable to keep the notification persistent with Accept/Decline action buttons. I expected similar behavior to Android, but it seems iOS has more restrictions around background services and notification handling. Dependencies I am using (relevant ones): firebase_core: ^3.8.0 firebase_messaging: ^15.1.5 flutter_local_notifications: ^17.2.2 flutter_foreground_task: ^8.17.0 get: ^4.7.2 shared_preferences: ^2.3.2

Hi there, I am trying to create my first iOS app using Visual Studio (Win 11) and .NET MAUI. I created a developer account and if I want to start the debugger with my local device, VS forces me to Configure Automatic Provisioning. I can select my configured account but the operation fails (see screenshot). I have no idea what is going wrong and I cannot find any setting in the developer account to fix this problem. Can anyone help me out, what is wrong and how to fix, thx!

Hey, Since I set up push notifications for my Flutter app following this tutorial https://documentation.onesignal.com/docs/flutter-sdk-setup, my Flutter app no ​​longer builds for iOS in the CD pipeline.

How do I download the iPad Air (5th generation) 18.3 simulator? I activated my Mac and only have version 18.2 available. I need to test the simulator that they are testing, but I can't because I don't have version 18.3 available. I only have the iPad version 18.2 available and the application works fine on that version. I have already added logs in different parts of the application, but in the files that you shared with me no log appears. The macOS operating system is macOS Drought.

I'm calling this command to export archive: xcodebuild -exportArchive -archivePath .build/XYZ.xcarchive -exportPath .build/XYZ.ipa -exportOptionsPlist Authenticator/ExportOptions.plist -quiet -allowProvisioningUpdates Here is my exportOptions file content &lt;!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"&gt; &lt;plist version="1.0"&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;method&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;app-store-connect&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;signingStyle&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;automatic&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;teamID&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;ABCD&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/plist&gt; Most of the time this command fail with this error: error: exportArchive No Accounts error: exportArchive No signing certificate "iOS Distribution" found What we found is that our Apple ID just disappear from Xcode and we need to add it again manually. So there are two questions here: Why Apple ID account dissapears and how I can fix this? Is there an option to not use Apple ID account in Xcode and for example to use -authenticationKeyID flags of xcodebuild? Just to mention this happens only on our CI machine and not locally.

Hi, I’m currently developing a watchOS app and ran into an issue where I can’t enable Developer Mode on my Apple Watch. Device info: Apple Watch Series 9 (watchOS 10.4) Paired with iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 17.4.1) Xcode 15.3 (macOS 15.5, Apple Silicon) Issue: When I try to run the app on my physical watch device, Xcode prompts that Developer Mode needs to be enabled. However, there is no approval request on the Apple Watch, and no Developer Mode option appears under Settings → Privacy &amp; Security. I’ve already tried the following: Rebooting both devices Unpairing and re-pairing the watch Erasing and setting up the watch again Signing out and back into my Apple ID Using the latest Xcode version (15.3 and 16.3 both tested) Running clean builds and checking provisioning profiles Attempting install via both simulator and physical device Still no luck — the app will not launch on the Apple Watch due to Developer Mode being disabled, and the option is missing entirely from Settings. I visited an Apple Store Genius Bar, but they couldn’t help and told me to contact Developer Support. I’ve already submitted a support request, but in the meantime I wanted to ask here in case anyone else has experienced this and found a workaround. Thanks in advance.
