The bundle does not contain an app icon for iPhone / iPod Touch of exactly '120x120' pixels
Trying to publish my .NET MAUI app via the transporter after migrating it from Xamarin (using the App Store Connect feature directly within visual studio 2022 has never worked for me) and getting this error. Validation failed (409) Missing required icon file. The bundle does not contain an app icon for iPhone / iPod Touch of exactly '120x120' pixels, in .png format for iOS versions >= 10.0. To support older versions of iOS, the icon may be required in the bundle outside of an asset catalog. Make sure the Info.plist file includes appropriate entries referencing the file. I have setup my maui app to use the asset catalog with the .pngs setup as bundled resources and I have also tried using the .svg method, both resulting in this error. When I zip and unzip my .ipa file I can see the asset catalog as part of the payload (C:\Archives\AIM_MAUI\Payload\AIM_MAUI.app\AppIcon.appiconset) Here is the contents of the Contents.json file { "images" : [ { "filename" : "icon_40.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "20x20" }, { "filename" : "icon_60.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "3x", "size" : "20x20" }, { "filename" : "icon_58.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "29x29" }, { "filename" : "icon_87.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "3x", "size" : "29x29" }, { "filename" : "icon_80.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "40x40" }, { "filename" : "icon_120.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "3x", "size" : "40x40" }, { "filename" : "icon_120.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "60x60" }, { "filename" : "icon_180.png", "idiom" : "iphone", "scale" : "3x", "size" : "60x60" }, { "filename" : "icon_20.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "1x", "size" : "20x20" }, { "filename" : "icon_40.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "20x20" }, { "filename" : "icon_29.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "1x", "size" : "29x29" }, { "filename" : "icon_58.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "29x29" }, { "filename" : "icon_40.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "1x", "size" : "40x40" }, { "filename" : "icon_80.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "40x40" }, { "filename" : "icon_76.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "1x", "size" : "76x76" }, { "filename" : "icon_152.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "76x76" }, { "filename" : "icon_167.png", "idiom" : "ipad", "scale" : "2x", "size" : "83.5x83.5" }, { "filename" : "icon_1024.png", "idiom" : "ios-marketing", "scale" : "1x", "size" : "1024x1024" } ], "info" : { "author" : "xcode", "version" : 1 } } I have tried manually using the actool tool from Xcode 16.4 to create the Assets.car file that is seeming to be missing and leading to this issue but even that can't compile the icons (or even a simple sample appicon.appiconset from Xcode with a singular .png added) and I am beginning to think there's an issue with the actool itself. I have tried reinstalling Xcode and every time the actool is just a partial download or a stub of the tool and not the real tool (actool size on my Mac is only 170kb and per my research it should be at least a couple mb) Is there any workaround?

Capacitor iOS Plugin with MobileVLCKit – Swift Plugin Not Recognized from Angular
Hi everyone, I'm developing a Capacitor plugin to display an RTSP video stream using MobileVLCKit on iOS. The Android side works perfectly, but I can’t get the iOS plugin to work — it seems my Swift file is not being detected or recognized, even though I’ve followed the official steps. What works: I followed the Capacitor Plugin Development Guide. I implemented the Android version of the plugin in Java inside the android/ folder. Everything works perfectly from Angular: the plugin is recognized and calls execute correctly. The issue on iOS: I implemented the iOS part in Swift, using the official MobileVLCKit documentation. I initially placed my RtspVlcPlugin.swift file in the plugin’s iOS folder, as the docs suggest. Then I moved it directly into the main app’s ios/App/App/ folder next to AppDelegate.swift and tried manual registration. The problem: Even though I manually register the plugin with: if let bridge = self.window?.rootViewController as? CAPBridgeViewController { bridge.bridge?.registerPluginInstance(RtspVlcPlugin()) print("✅ Plugin RtspVlcPlugin registered manually.") } It prints the registration message just fine. BUT from Angular, the plugin is not recognized: Capacitor.Plugins.RtspVlcPlugin has no methods, and I get this error: "code":"UNIMPLEMENTED" I also tried declaring @objc(RtspVlcPlugin) and extending CAPPlugin. I’ve verified RtspVlcPlugin.swift is added to the target and compiled. The Swift file doesn’t seem to register or expose any methods to Angular. I even tried adding the code without using a plugin at all — just creating a Swift class and using it via the AppDelegate, but it still doesn't expose any callable methods. My Swift code (RtspVlcPlugin.swift): import Capacitor import MobileVLCKit @objc(RtspVlcPlugin) public class RtspVlcPlugin: CAPPlugin, VLCMediaPlayerDelegate { var mediaPlayer: VLCMediaPlayer? var containerView: UIView? var spinner: UIActivityIndicatorView? @objc func iniciar(_ call: CAPPluginCall) { guard let urlStr = call.getString("url"), let x = call.getDouble("x"), let y = call.getDouble("y"), let w = call.getDouble("width"), let h = call.getDouble("height"), let url = URL(string: urlStr) else { call.reject("Missing parameters") return } DispatchQueue.main.async { self.containerView?.removeFromSuperview() let cont = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: w, height: h)) cont.backgroundColor = .black cont.layer.cornerRadius = 16 cont.clipsToBounds = true let sp = UIActivityIndicatorView(style: .large) sp.center = CGPoint(x: w/2, y: h/2) sp.color = .white sp.startAnimating() cont.addSubview(sp) self.spinner = sp self.containerView = cont self.bridge?.viewController?.view.addSubview(cont) let player = VLCMediaPlayer() player.delegate = self player.drawable = cont player.media = VLCMedia(url: url) self.mediaPlayer = player player.play() call.resolve() } } @objc func cerrar(_ call: CAPPluginCall) { DispatchQueue.main.async { self.mediaPlayer?.stop() self.mediaPlayer = nil self.spinner?.stopAnimating() self.spinner?.removeFromSuperview() self.spinner = nil self.containerView?.removeFromSuperview() self.containerView = nil call.resolve() } } public func mediaPlayerStateChanged(_ aNotification: Notification!) { guard let player = mediaPlayer, player.state == .playing, let sp = spinner else { return } DispatchQueue.main.async { sp.stopAnimating() sp.removeFromSuperview() self.spinner = nil } } } In the Angular project, I’m using the plugin by manually registering it with registerPlugin from @capacitor/core. Specifically, in the service where I need it, I do the following: import { registerPlugin } from '@capacitor/core'; const RtspVlcPlugin: any = registerPlugin('RtspVlcPlugin'); After this, I try to call the methods defined in the iOS plugin, like RtspVlcPlugin.iniciar({ ... }), but I get an UNIMPLEMENTED error, which suggests that the plugin is not exposing its methods properly to the Angular/Capacitor environment. That makes me believe the problem lies in how the Swift file is integrated or registered, rather than how it is used from Angular. I’d appreciate any guidance on how to properly expose a Swift-based Capacitor plugin’s methods so that they are accessible from Angular. Is there any additional registration step or metadata I might be missing on the iOS side?

CarPlay Simulator (from Additional tools) stuck on "Connecting to phone" since March 4th
We're experiencing an issue where the CarPlay Simulator (from Apple Developer Additional Tools) stopped connecting to our iPhones as of March 4th, 2025. The simulator gets stuck indefinitely on "Connecting to phone" and never completes the pairing. Environment App: Oracle Field Service iOS app (with CarPlay support) Tool: CarPlay Simulator from Apple Developer Additional Tools (developer.apple.com/download/all/) Issue start date: Wednesday, March 4th, 2025 Tested on: Multiple Mac machines, multiple iPhones Multiple CarPlay Simulator versions tested What's happening The CarPlay Simulator launches but displays "Connecting to phone" indefinitely. It was working correctly prior to March 4th with no changes on our end. What still works CarPlay functions correctly when the same iPhone is connected to a real car, confirming the issue is specific to the simulator. Troubleshooting steps already attempted Reset permissions and re-added the simulator Forgot the simulator and re-paired it Changed the USB cable Tested on multiple Mac machines Tested on multiple iPhones Tried multiple versions of the CarPlay Simulator Confirmed no VPN is in use Confirmed with IT, no OS updates or enterprise restrictions were applied Questions Has anyone else experienced this since March 4th? Was there a change in CarPlay Simulator behavior or a requirement on the Apple side (certificate, entitlement, protocol) around that date? Is there a known workaround or fix?

How to call a Swift file directly from Angular using Capacitor?
Hi everyone, I’m working on a Capacitor app built with Angular, and I’m trying to call a Swift class directly from the root of the iOS project (next to AppDelegate.swift) without using a full Capacitor plugin structure. The Swift file is called RtspVlcPlugin.swift and looks like this: import Capacitor @objc(RtspVlcPlugin) public class RtspVlcPlugin: CAPPlugin { @objc func iniciar(_ call: CAPPluginCall) { call.resolve() } } In AppDelegate.swift I register it like this: if let bridge = self.window?.rootViewController as? CAPBridgeViewController { bridge.bridge?.registerPluginInstance(RtspVlcPlugin()) print("✅ RtspVlcPlugin registered.") } The registration message prints correctly in Xcode logs. But from Angular, when I try to call it like this: import { registerPlugin } from '@capacitor/core'; const RtspVlcPlugin: any = registerPlugin('RtspVlcPlugin'); RtspVlcPlugin.iniciar({ ... }); I get this error: {"code":"UNIMPLEMENTED"} So, even though the plugin is registered manually, it’s not exposing any methods to the Angular/Capacitor runtime. My question is: What is the correct way to access a manually created Swift class (in the root of the iOS project) from Angular via Capacitor? Thanks in advance!

App Icon Dimension
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.

Native Git version with Apple Build
By default, it seems 15.6 is shipped with git version 2.39.5 (Apple Git-154) I was wondering when Apple will ship a Git version above 2.43 to resolve this vulnerability. Git Carriage Return Line Feed (CRLF) Vulnerability (CVE-2025-48384) https://github.com/git/git/security/advisories/GHSA-vwqx-4fm8-6qc9 You can install Homebrew then install newer versions of git using Homebrew; however that installs in a new location so the vulnerability is still present as the native version is behind and updated by Apple during software updates Thanks

Unexpected performance penalty attributed to first Swift Testing test
I have a Swift package with a test suite that contains some tests implemented with Swift Testing. Locally, they run quickly, but when I run them on Semaphore CI (https://semaphore.io), the first Swift Testing test to execute incurs a performance penalty. I'm running the tests with xcodebuild on iOS Simulator: xcodebuild test \ -scheme "Scheme" \ -workspace Workspace.xcworkspace \ -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 16,OS=18.2" The scheme is configured to use a test plan that has parallelization disabled. Here's an excerpt from the output showing what I'm seeing: Test Suite 'All tests' started at 2025-04-03 07:47:37.328. ◇ Test run started. ↳ Testing Library Version: 102 (arm64-apple-ios13.0-simulator) ◇ Iteration 1 started. ◇ Suite <redacted> started. ◇ Test foo() started. ✔ Test foo() passed after 23.063 seconds. When foo() is not the first test it runs in under 100 ms. The reason that I have parallelization disabled is that I was initially seeing all of the tests in this suite incur a performance hit. But now it's clear that there must be some startup cost. Things I'm wondering: What is this startup penalty? Why don't I encounter it locally? Why is it attributed to the first test? (this seems like a bug) My wild guesses around 1 so far have been… maybe some simulator clone is booting. I've tried to rule that out by disabling parallelization, but maybe there's still something there. maybe swift testing is getting loaded lazily and there's some kind of dynamic linking cost Thoughts on 2… maybe there's some one-time penalty when using swift testing that I've already incurred locally but that has not yet been incurred in the CI image Guidance welcome! x-posted: FB17102970 (Unexpected performance penalty attributed to first Swift Testing test) https://forums.swift.org/t/first-swifttesting-test-always-slow/79066

"A software update is required" message is shown when running beta software
I'm running the latest iOS 26 beta 5 on my iPad and iPhone. Whenever I run these betas, I always get the message below telling me an update is available (whenever I plug in my devices). I'm assuming this is because the update check is detecting that I have something other than the latest production release. Obviously, it makes no sense to ask me to update to a prod build when I'm running the dev beta. Is there a way to turn this message off? Or maybe Apple could handle this situation better? Or maybe it's just a bug and I'm the only one getting this message?

🔥 Xcode 26 RC – visionOS App Icon Created with Icon Composer Appears Empty
App Icon created with Icon Composer is empty for visionOS app We are developing a universal app, and the app’s icon was created using Icon Composer. Xcode 26, RC visionOS 26 and visionOS 2.5 App Icons on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS are correct We have archived the app for macOS and iOS and successfully uploaded it to the App Store. This strongly suggests that the App Icon configuration in our project settings is correct for these platforms. App Icon issue on visionOS However, the visionOS app icon is not working as expected: When testing on the Vision Pro simulator (versions 2.x and 26.0), the app icon appears empty. When archiving and submitting to the App Store, the process fails with the following error: The app’s Info.plist file is missing the CFBundleIcons.CFBundlePrimaryIcon key for the visionOS App Icon. This suggests that the project’s App Icon settings may not be correctly applied for visionOS builds. Request for assistance We are preparing to release our app, one of the first to support Liquid Glass, and would greatly appreciate guidance on how to resolve this issue with the visionOS app icon.

Rapport de Bug : Problème Entitlements Family Controls / EAS Build
Le build iOS via EAS échoue systématiquement lors de la phase Xcode. Bien que les capacités Family Controls et App Groups soient activées sur le portail Apple Developer et configurées dans le app.json, les profils de provisionnement générés par EAS sont rejetés par Xcode car ils ne contiendraient pas les droits nécessaires. Configuration du projet : Targets (4) : App principale + 3 extensions (ShieldConfiguration, ShieldAction, ActivityMonitorExtension). Capabilities requises : Family Controls (Development), App Groups. EAS CLI Version : 18.0.6 (et versions antérieures testées). Erreur Xcode récurrente : error: Provisioning profile "[expo] com.*****.*** AdHoc 177230..." doesn't support the Family Controls (Development) capability.. error: Provisioning profile "... AdHoc ..." doesn't include the com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement.. Ce qui a déjà été tenté (sans succès) : Configuration app.json : Ajout manuel des entitlements pour le bundle principal et configuration du plugin react-native-device-activity. Nettoyage Credentials : Suppression totale des profils et des identifiants sur le site Expo.dev ET sur le portail Apple Developer. +1 Forçage Sync : Utilisation de eas build --clear-cache et réponse "No" à la réutilisation des profils existants. Observation étrange : Le terminal indique souvent ✔ Synced capabilities: No updates, alors que les droits viennent d'être modifiés sur le portail Apple. Sur le portail Apple, les profils affichent pourtant bien "Family Controls (Development)" dans les capacités activées. Je met en piece jointe un des profiles.

I’d appreciate any guidance on how to properly expose a Swift-based Capacitor plugin’s methods so that they are accessible from Angular. Is there any additional registration step or metadata I might be missing on the iOS side?

CarPlay Simulator (from Additional tools) stuck on "Connecting to phone" since March 4th
We're experiencing an issue where the CarPlay Simulator (from Apple Developer Additional Tools) stopped connecting to our iPhones as of March 4th, 2025. The simulator gets stuck indefinitely on "Connecting to phone" and never completes the pairing. Environment App: Oracle Field Service iOS app (with CarPlay support) Tool: CarPlay Simulator from Apple Developer Additional Tools (developer.apple.com/download/all/) Issue start date: Wednesday, March 4th, 2025 Tested on: Multiple Mac machines, multiple iPhones Multiple CarPlay Simulator versions tested What's happening The CarPlay Simulator launches but displays "Connecting to phone" indefinitely. It was working correctly prior to March 4th with no changes on our end. What still works CarPlay functions correctly when the same iPhone is connected to a real car, confirming the issue is specific to the simulator. Troubleshooting steps already attempted Reset permissions and re-added the simulator Forgot the simulator and re-paired it Changed the USB cable Tested on multiple Mac machines Tested on multiple iPhones Tried multiple versions of the CarPlay Simulator Confirmed no VPN is in use Confirmed with IT, no OS updates or enterprise restrictions were applied Questions Has anyone else experienced this since March 4th? Was there a change in CarPlay Simulator behavior or a requirement on the Apple side (certificate, entitlement, protocol) around that date? Is there a known workaround or fix?

Where is the `Metal-cpp-extensions` download website?
Hi, I really appreciate the C++ binding provided. I got the metal-cpp source code from the website at Getting Started. However, I could not find the same for metal-cpp-extensions. Is it not available or do we have to always extract it from the sample code? Thanks.

How to call a Swift file directly from Angular using Capacitor?
Hi everyone, I’m working on a Capacitor app built with Angular, and I’m trying to call a Swift class directly from the root of the iOS project (next to AppDelegate.swift) without using a full Capacitor plugin structure. The Swift file is called RtspVlcPlugin.swift and looks like this: import Capacitor @objc(RtspVlcPlugin) public class RtspVlcPlugin: CAPPlugin { @objc func iniciar(_ call: CAPPluginCall) { call.resolve() } } In AppDelegate.swift I register it like this: if let bridge = self.window?.rootViewController as? CAPBridgeViewController { bridge.bridge?.registerPluginInstance(RtspVlcPlugin()) print("✅ RtspVlcPlugin registered.") } The registration message prints correctly in Xcode logs. But from Angular, when I try to call it like this: import { registerPlugin } from '@capacitor/core'; const RtspVlcPlugin: any = registerPlugin('RtspVlcPlugin'); RtspVlcPlugin.iniciar({ ... }); I get this error: {"code":"UNIMPLEMENTED"} So, even though the plugin is registered manually, it’s not exposing any methods to the Angular/Capacitor runtime. My question is: What is the correct way to access a manually created Swift class (in the root of the iOS project) from Angular via Capacitor? Thanks in advance!

App Icon Dimension
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.

Native Git version with Apple Build
By default, it seems 15.6 is shipped with git version 2.39.5 (Apple Git-154) I was wondering when Apple will ship a Git version above 2.43 to resolve this vulnerability. Git Carriage Return Line Feed (CRLF) Vulnerability (CVE-2025-48384) https://github.com/git/git/security/advisories/GHSA-vwqx-4fm8-6qc9 You can install Homebrew then install newer versions of git using Homebrew; however that installs in a new location so the vulnerability is still present as the native version is behind and updated by Apple during software updates Thanks

Unexpected performance penalty attributed to first Swift Testing test
I have a Swift package with a test suite that contains some tests implemented with Swift Testing. Locally, they run quickly, but when I run them on Semaphore CI (https://semaphore.io), the first Swift Testing test to execute incurs a performance penalty. I'm running the tests with xcodebuild on iOS Simulator: xcodebuild test \ -scheme "Scheme" \ -workspace Workspace.xcworkspace \ -destination "platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 16,OS=18.2" The scheme is configured to use a test plan that has parallelization disabled. Here's an excerpt from the output showing what I'm seeing: Test Suite 'All tests' started at 2025-04-03 07:47:37.328. ◇ Test run started. ↳ Testing Library Version: 102 (arm64-apple-ios13.0-simulator) ◇ Iteration 1 started. ◇ Suite <redacted> started. ◇ Test foo() started. ✔ Test foo() passed after 23.063 seconds. When foo() is not the first test it runs in under 100 ms. The reason that I have parallelization disabled is that I was initially seeing all of the tests in this suite incur a performance hit. But now it's clear that there must be some startup cost. Things I'm wondering: What is this startup penalty? Why don't I encounter it locally? Why is it attributed to the first test? (this seems like a bug) My wild guesses around 1 so far have been… maybe some simulator clone is booting. I've tried to rule that out by disabling parallelization, but maybe there's still something there. maybe swift testing is getting loaded lazily and there's some kind of dynamic linking cost Thoughts on 2… maybe there's some one-time penalty when using swift testing that I've already incurred locally but that has not yet been incurred in the CI image Guidance welcome! x-posted: FB17102970 (Unexpected performance penalty attributed to first Swift Testing test) https://forums.swift.org/t/first-swifttesting-test-always-slow/79066

"A software update is required" message is shown when running beta software
I'm running the latest iOS 26 beta 5 on my iPad and iPhone. Whenever I run these betas, I always get the message below telling me an update is available (whenever I plug in my devices). I'm assuming this is because the update check is detecting that I have something other than the latest production release. Obviously, it makes no sense to ask me to update to a prod build when I'm running the dev beta. Is there a way to turn this message off? Or maybe Apple could handle this situation better? Or maybe it's just a bug and I'm the only one getting this message?

🔥 Xcode 26 RC – visionOS App Icon Created with Icon Composer Appears Empty
App Icon created with Icon Composer is empty for visionOS app We are developing a universal app, and the app’s icon was created using Icon Composer. Xcode 26, RC visionOS 26 and visionOS 2.5 App Icons on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS are correct We have archived the app for macOS and iOS and successfully uploaded it to the App Store. This strongly suggests that the App Icon configuration in our project settings is correct for these platforms. App Icon issue on visionOS However, the visionOS app icon is not working as expected: When testing on the Vision Pro simulator (versions 2.x and 26.0), the app icon appears empty. When archiving and submitting to the App Store, the process fails with the following error: The app’s Info.plist file is missing the CFBundleIcons.CFBundlePrimaryIcon key for the visionOS App Icon. This suggests that the project’s App Icon settings may not be correctly applied for visionOS builds. Request for assistance We are preparing to release our app, one of the first to support Liquid Glass, and would greatly appreciate guidance on how to resolve this issue with the visionOS app icon.

Rapport de Bug : Problème Entitlements Family Controls / EAS Build
Le build iOS via EAS échoue systématiquement lors de la phase Xcode. Bien que les capacités Family Controls et App Groups soient activées sur le portail Apple Developer et configurées dans le app.json, les profils de provisionnement générés par EAS sont rejetés par Xcode car ils ne contiendraient pas les droits nécessaires. Configuration du projet : Targets (4) : App principale + 3 extensions (ShieldConfiguration, ShieldAction, ActivityMonitorExtension). Capabilities requises : Family Controls (Development), App Groups. EAS CLI Version : 18.0.6 (et versions antérieures testées). Erreur Xcode récurrente : error: Provisioning profile "[expo] com.*****.*** AdHoc 177230..." doesn't support the Family Controls (Development) capability.. error: Provisioning profile "... AdHoc ..." doesn't include the com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement.. Ce qui a déjà été tenté (sans succès) : Configuration app.json : Ajout manuel des entitlements pour le bundle principal et configuration du plugin react-native-device-activity. Nettoyage Credentials : Suppression totale des profils et des identifiants sur le site Expo.dev ET sur le portail Apple Developer. +1 Forçage Sync : Utilisation de eas build --clear-cache et réponse "No" à la réutilisation des profils existants. Observation étrange : Le terminal indique souvent ✔ Synced capabilities: No updates, alors que les droits viennent d'être modifiés sur le portail Apple. Sur le portail Apple, les profils affichent pourtant bien "Family Controls (Development)" dans les capacités activées. Je met en piece jointe un des profiles.
