My application always crashes at the same position when I open it on my iPad Air. It doesn't crash in debug mode which makes it very difficult for me to find the issue.

I am trying to communicate with the backend of my project. So I need to install the certificate into the simulator. I have the .pem file but when I drag-dropped it into the simulator, I got the error "Simulator device failed to complete the requested operation.". The simulator is an iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 18.5. Is there any way to install the cert to my simulator? PS: I can't use Apple Configurator or MDM because I am using the office's Mac. And I can't install anything there. So I can only do it manually.

Hi, anyone managed to make this work? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundassets Trying for past few days and can't make it work. Following their official documentation, also this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3jpgZrB1uo, but it seems I am stuck at: try await AssetPackManager.shared.ensureLocalAvailability(of: assetPack) What I did: Manifest files created, info.plist configured, asset pack created and uploaded to appstoreconnect via transporter, successfully assigned to app and ready for internal testing. Added to my code: let assetPack = try await AssetPackManager.shared.assetPack(withID: "Tutorial") try await AssetPackManager.shared.ensureLocalAvailability(of: assetPack) let videoData = try AssetPackManager.shared.contents(at: "Videos/Introduction.m4v") but no luck at all.... is anywhere any demo project available to download to compare with my project?

We are looking for a platform or portal provided by Apple that allows us to track crashes, hangs, or other runtime issues faced by users while using our iOS/macOS application. This is similar to how we currently use Windows Error Reporting (WER) for our Windows application. Important note: Our application is not distributed via the Apple App Store — it is delivered through enterprise distribution or ad-hoc provisioning.

Hello.

On my app I have the necessity to use mergeable libraries, in my context my libraries are indirect dependency, in other words the dependency isn’t target in my project, and they are XCFramework where they are imported on Framework, Libraries, and Embedded Content session on my app target. Following the documentation on Configuring your project to use mergeable libraries it said. 
  But on Manually configure merging don’t said how to configure to indirect dependencies. 
  So I have tried configure use the linker flag -merge_framework for each XCFramework using -Wl, -merge_framework, {XCFramework_Name}, but I am receiving the following error unknown argument: -merge_framework’ when build the release. 

In app target is set build settings MERGED_BINARY_TYPE = manual; The question is: 
 Is possible using mergeable libraries in XCFramework dependencies ? How I do this? Because on the doc is not clear how to use in indirect dependency like XCFramework.

Good day everyone. I have a react native app which works on dev mode on my device - Iphone 13 pro version: 18.5, but when deployed to TestFlight and installed on same device it crashes when ever I click on any TextInput. I downloaded the crash file but finding it difficult to pinpoint the problem. I want to know what the problem is, if it's related to an installed package or code base or any other. Any help will be appreciated!!! Thanks. crashlog.crash

My Xcode project has the following configuration: 1 iOS app target 1 Xcode framework target (mach-o-type "Dynamic Library") 5 static libraries Dependencies: All the static libraries are target dependencies of the framework. The framework is the only target dependency of the iOS app. For the iOS app target, within the General tab > Frameworks, Libraries & Embedded content, I've set the framework as "Do not embed" So now I have a dynamic framework which won't be copied to the .app bundle in the build output. As per my understanding, this should result in a runtime error, dyld should not be able to find the framework files as they were not embedded in the final .app bundle. But regardless, my app runs without any errors, using all the methods exposed by the framework. What is the correct understanding here? What exactly does Embed/Do not embed mean (apart from excluding the files from .app bundle) When both settings are specified, is there any priority or precedence of one setting over the other?

I developed (with AI help) using Xcode an app for myself. It logged certain places visited on a list, with photos and notes. It worked, but after a few days my iPhone can't launch it. What do I have to do to get this to last? I didn't think I needed to pay as this is purely for me.

We are experiencing an issue where our app gets stuck during launch. The splash screen appears for some time, and then the app either becomes unresponsive or closes unexpectedly. However, there are no crash logs captured in Xcode or Firebase Crashlytics, indicating that the app is not crashing but rather being terminated. This issue is preventing affected users from properly launching the app. Additionally, some users have reported occasional lag and slow performance when using the app. The issue occurs only for a specific subset of users and appears to be related to other Electronic Logging Device (ELD) apps running in the background. When these apps are active, our app struggles to launch and sometimes becomes unresponsive. We suspect that this behavior could be related to system resource allocation, such as high memory consumption by background apps, which might be affecting our app's ability to launch correctly. However, we have been unable to reproduce the issue on our end despite multiple attempts. Actions Performed During App Launch: Firebase configuration API requests, including: Fetching account details Registering the FCM token with the server Asynchronous background requests to fetch POI details Creating a local database and storing POI data in local storage We would like guidance from Apple regarding potential causes and debugging strategies, especially in scenarios where the app does not produce crash logs but still fails to launch properly. Any insights into memory management, conflicts with background applications, or system resource constraints would be highly appreciated. Steps to Reproduce: Install and launch the app on an affected device. Observe that the app gets stuck on the launch screen. After some time, the app terminates unexpectedly. Issue is inconsistent and occurs only for certain users. Presence of other ELD apps running in the background appears to influence the issue.

Hello, According to the official documentation, the macOS Virtualization Framework currently supports only macOS and Linux guest operating systems. I would like to know if there is any way—officially or through a supported workaround—to run Windows 11 as a guest using this framework. Additionally, is there any indication or roadmap suggesting that support for Windows guests might be introduced in a future release, such as in macOS 16? Any insights or official clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and created an App ID with the bundle ID com.echo.eyes.voice. I am trying to enable Speech Recognition in the App ID capabilities list, but the option does not appear — even after waiting over a week since my membership was activated. I’ve already: Confirmed my Apple Developer account is active Checked the Identifiers section in the Developer portal Tried editing the App ID, but Speech Recognition is not listed Contacted both Developer Support and Developer Technical Support (Case #102594089120), but was told to post here for help My app uses Capacitor + the @capacitor-community/speech-recognition plugin. I need the com.apple.developer.speech-recognition entitlement to appear so I can use native voice input in iOS. I would really appreciate help from an Apple engineer or anyone who has faced this issue. Thank you, — Daniel Colyer

Hello, I'm developing a macOS application that uses the Virtualization framework to run Linux virtual machines (specifically Ubuntu and Fedora) on Apple Silicon Macs. I've noticed that while the macOS host properly supports all trackpad gestures, the two-finger tap gesture for right-click does not work within the Linux guest. Only the primary click is recognized. This behavior is consistent across different Linux distributions and desktop environments (GNOME, KDE, etc.). I would like to confirm: Is the macOS Virtualization framework expected to support trackpad gestures such as two-finger tap for right-click within Linux guest VMs? If not currently supported, is there a known workaround to enable right-click functionality for the trackpad in Linux guests? (e.g., configuration changes in the VM, Linux kernel input modules, or framework-level adjustments.) Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello, I have an iphone but not an ipad Actually a relative has an iPad. The problem I encoutered was when i was testing an app that I had built prior (so I had the ipa file) but no acces to Xcode. The thing is when I wanted to test it on my iphone, everything WENT SMOOTH and ok. When I tried on iPAD, I encounteed the problem I could not unlock the hidden "developer mode" option in any way, I tried so many things, checked and rechecked, the option was and stayed hidden, I could not activate it. Therefore I could not test the app. In the apple store I was required to give a screenshot for iPAD but that failed. because I could not produce ANY, since I could not run my app on iPAD. I actually have no idea how I activated the ability to turn on the developer mode on my iphone, it was just there and I activated it perhaps because I had added the email of my iphone to the developer account somehow? somehwere? But for iPAD I just could not find a way to do it, don't know if adding it somewhere could trigger something on the ipad to allow it to show the developer mode option so I can activate it finally? Anyway, I tried things I read on internet, methods that mention how to activate the developer mode ability on an ios devide though WINDOWS, there were 2 but one I did not trust much, and even I think i tried it and in the end it did not work for some incompatibility making that method obsolete or something? the other I am not sure but probably same idea. I would like to know, how to activate the ABILITY to SHOW the option to activate the developer mode on iPAD (or any other device but for now I am focuson on iPad) please, and without using macbook or xcode!? Could Apple or anyone offer some guidance? That would help a fellow developer. Thank you. Ps. No I cant get the mac or xcode for now (but hopefully in a far future, but for now I can't). Thanks

Hello, There seems to be a regression with macOS SDK 15 and dynamically loading libraries if Address Sanitizer is turned on. Seems to only affect Debug builds, and .frameworks. I've also reported this via the Feedback Assistant: FB16513866 Here's a minimal repro, if anyone is interested: https://gist.github.com/peter-esik/6b00432e411be85333e14ae7d953966e I thought I'd post this here, as according to my web searches, this isn't a very well-known bug at this point.

Background Assets can support a maximum of 200G. Will the Apple server perform file comparison? For example, file0 is included in both a.aar file and b.aar file. On the Apple server, does it occupy twice the size of a single file?

I've got an app where I want to split its Model code into a framework (.xcframework and .framework for debugging) so that it can be used by more than one app. The code has dependencies on 3rd party code, which are installed via pods. During the conversion process I keep running into the same issue which manifests with all the 3rd party code - which is that the majority of its api can be used (something like 80-90%) but for the remainder there is a linker error at runtime showing undefined symbols. I have this problem with CocoaLumberjack,RealmSwift, PhoneNumberKit and more. Its very quick and easy to reproduce the issue with a minimal framework and minimal app, below I'll describe how a minimal setup using CocoaLumberjack reproduces the issue: From scratch, I use Xcode to create a framework project, run pod init, then modify the pod file to be: platform :ios, '16.0' workspace 'TheFramework' project 'TheFramework' target 'TheFramework' do use_frameworks! pod 'CocoaLumberjack/Swift', '3.8.5' end post_install do |installer| installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '16.0' config.build_settings['BUILD_LIBRARY_FOR_DISTRIBUTION'] = 'YES' end end end Then I add source code: import Foundation import CocoaLumberjack public class AClassInTheFramework { public class func aMethod() { let consoleLogger = DDOSLogger.sharedInstance DDLog.add(consoleLogger, with: .debug) DDLogDebug("Some logging") } } Within the Xcode project, Build Libraries for Distribution is set to Yes, I also add that line to the pod file in case CocoaLumberjack isn't set similarly. In the Framework's Xcode General section, Frameworks and Libraries contains Pods_TheFramework.framework set to Do Not Embed. In the Build Phases section, in the Link Binary with Libraries section, Pods_TheFramework.framework is set to required. Next I create an Xcode app template, run pod install, and edit the app pod file to be: platform :ios, '16.0' workspace 'AppUsingFramework' project 'AppUsingFramework' target 'AppUsingFramework' do use_frameworks! pod 'CocoaLumberjack/Swift', '3.8.5' end post_install do |installer| installer.pods_project.targets.each do |target| target.build_configurations.each do |config| config.build_settings['IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET'] = '16.0' end end end I build the framework, and drag and drop it into the app. I add the following code to the app's delegate: import TheFramework ... AClassInTheFramework.aMethod() The App's target has the following linkage settings: When I build and run the app, there is the following error: If I change the source code in the framework to this: public class AClassInTheFramework { public class func aMethod() { let consoleLogger = DDOSLogger.sharedInstance DDLog.add(consoleLogger, with: .debug) // DDLogDebug("Some logging") } } Then there is no error and the code runs successfully. This illustrates the problem I've encountered with all the nested frameworks - in this particular case calls to DDLog.add() don't result in an error but calls to DDlogDebug() do, and that has been mirrored with other nested frameworks (for example with Realm, opening a database, adding, finding,retrieving an item all works without a problem, however attempting to use Realm's Results<> API results in a similar symbol not found error). Additionally note that the identical CocoaLumberjack code can run fine when used directly from within the app, i.e., if I add the following code to the app: import CocoaLumberjack func useCocoaLumberjackDirectlyFromWithinApp() { let consoleLogger = DDOSLogger.sharedInstance DDLog.add(consoleLogger, with: .debug) DDLogDebug("Some logging") } useCocoaLumberjackDirectlyFromWithinApp() Then it runs, i.e. DDLogDebug() can be successfully called from within the app, its only when its called via the framework that the error occurs. Why might I be encountering these issues? I'd have thought either I'd be able to use 100% of the nested framework's public api, or 0% of it (is something is not configured correct), not ~80% which is what I am encountering. Any ideas? TIA

I am building an iOS app with the App ID: com.echo.eyes.app I have a paid Apple Developer membership and have followed all correct procedures, including: Adding com.apple.developer.speech-recognition manually to the App.entitlements file Setting Info.plist keys for microphone and speech permissions Assigning my Apple Developer Team to the project Setting App/App.entitlements under Code Signing Entitlements Despite all this, Xcode automatic signing fails, and I receive the error: vbnet Copy Edit Provisioning profile 'iOS Team Provisioning Profile: com.echo.eyes.app' doesn't include the com.apple.developer.speech-recognition entitlement. I am unable to add the entitlement via the Capabilities section, and no method I try will allow provisioning to succeed. Please update this App ID to include the required entitlement in the provisioning profile. This issue is preventing all voice recognition functionality. Thank you.
