Hello Apple community !
Not here to report an issue but I just wanted to make a suggestion ^^
I feel like a common frustration amongst developers is the lack of transparency over bugs filed on developer tools, SDKs, iOS versions, the whole Apple ecosystem really.
This leads to the creation of parallel bug tracking tools (https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports?tab=readme-ov-file /
https://openradar.appspot.com/page/1) or filing of duplicates for reports that may already exist and are being worked on.
I feel like this would save time for both external developers that encounter bugs & Apple engineers that have to look for possible duplicates to share a common public database of issues.
Other companies have this kind of system in place (Google for example : https://issuetracker.google.com/) so why not Apple ?
Thank you

Hi everyone, I've been trying to integrate with Microsoft EntraID for more than a week. I've followed every tutorial, ChatGPT, Cloude.ai, etc, but nothing works, and I realized that the problem is setting up information inside the Info.plist correctly. In the old days, we were able to edit it, but now it's a mess. I'm working with Xcode 15.2. Unfortunately, my computer does not accept more upgrades. Yes, I know I have to buy a new one, but I'm not sure if the new version will help me solve that. Does anyone have a project example or some experience with Microsoft EntraID authentication using SwiftUI?
All the examples in the project are really old and usually don't use SwiftUI

I have an iPhone 14 running iOS 16.1 and my series 5 watch running watchOS 9.1. I was able to turn on Developer Mode on the phone by going to Settings--> Privacy & Security --> Developer Mode. On the watch however (I'm doing this directly on the watch and not on the watch app on the phone) once I'm in Privacy & Security, there is no option to select Developer Mode. How do I get my watch in Developer Mode in order to get a successful build in xCode?
I use CMake for my builds not the XCode GUI.
I want to be able to build a single .app that contains both the GUI version and the command line version. I have seen products that ship both as part of the same .app (e.g. CMake) so this is clearly entirely possible, the 64k question is HOW?
Right now I am building them as separate apps - lets call them DSS and DSSCL (*).
The code base for each is in its own directory - each with its own CMakelists.txt file.
My initial thoughts are to change the build for DSSCL so it doesn't create a bundle and then simply copy the DSSCL command and related .qm files into DSS.app/.../MacOS.
However that's likely enough totally wrong, so how should I handle this please.
As much detail as possible please, I am very new to macOS development -please don't assume knowledge of stuff that's second nature to you
Many thanks
David

I am running Appium tests on an iOS 18 simulator, and I am encountering an intermittent issue where the device screen gets locked unexpectedly during the tests. The Appium logs show no errors or unusual activity, and all commands appear to be executed successfully.
However, upon reviewing the device logs, I see entries related to the lock event, but the exact cause remains unclear.
SpringBoard: (SpringBoard) [com.apple.SpringBoard:Common] lockUIFromSource:Boot options:{
SBUILockOptionsLockAutomaticallyKey: 1,
SBUILockOptionsForceLockKey: 1,
SBUILockOptionsUseScreenOffModeKey: 0
}
SpringBoard: (SpringBoard) [com.apple.SpringBoard:Common] -[SBTelephonyManager inCall] 0
SpringBoard: (SpringBoard) [com.apple.SpringBoard:Common] LockUI from source: Now locking
Has anyone experienced similar behavior with Appium on iOS 18, or could there be a setting or configuration in the simulator that is causing this issue?
About three weeks ago I submitted a DTS ticket (13097367) to receive code level support with a potential SwiftUI bug. At first I did not receive any response at all (beside the automatic confirmation that the ticket has been created).
Only after posting the question here, I got a reply from a DTS engineer. However, the proposed solution did not really solve the problem but only circumvents it (UI freezes when ScrollView reaches below SafeArea. Solution: Do not use ScrollView below SafeArea...)
I pointed out, that this does not really help me. Since then I did not receive any further response.
Is this normal? Is there something wrong with my ticket? Maybe it was closed by accident or something?
Thank you very much!
Hello,
I currently have a live application in the iOS App Store that needs an update to start functioning again, but I've lost the source code in a hard drive failure. Is there a way to reverse engineer the currently deployed package that is live (and also a way to download it from App Store Connect)⁉️
The development change itself is just a very small change for an API route in the code itself. I could even direct an engineer at Apple to make the change in 5 minutes!
Let me know if this is possible.
Thanks❗️
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.

I'm using Xcode 16.3 and I want to add the key "NSUbiquitousContainers" but I cannot do it in the Entitlements file, it should be in info.plist file! I have done it before but in previous versions of Xcode when the info.plist was in the project navigator.
However, now I cannot find the file and I did not find any way to create it!
Please guide me in detail how to proceed (I'm not new to Swift or SwiftUI but not familiar to project settings)?
Hi all,
I’m developing a watchOS app and have seen cases where the app is terminated by the system — for example, due to CPU usage limits being exceeded (watchdog termination). Here’s a portion of one of the crash reports:
Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGKILL)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000
Termination Reason: CAROUSEL 2343432205
<RBSTerminateContext| domain:10 code:0x8BADF00D explanation:[app<app_name>:898] Failed to terminate gracefully after 5.0s
ProcessVisibility: Foreground
ProcessState: Running
WatchdogEvent: process-exit
WatchdogVisibility: Foreground
WatchdogCPUStatistics: (
"Elapsed total CPU time (seconds): 11.280 (user 9.800, system 1.480), 100% CPU",
"Elapsed application CPU time (seconds): 5.162, 46% CPU"
) reportType:CrashLog maxTerminationResistance:Interactive>
My questions:
1.) Is there any way to get notified (via Crashlytics, Xcode Organizer, or any other reporting mechanism) when this type of system-level termination happens — similar to how we’re notified of crashes?
2.)Is there any way for a watchOS app to receive runtime warnings from the system when it’s about to exceed CPU or memory limits — similar to UIApplication.didReceiveMemoryWarningNotification on iOS?
Thanks in advance!

I'm on Mac Studio with Apple M1 Max and I recently upgrated to Sequoia 15.4. After that, Docker won't run anymore.
I tried almost all proposed solutions on the web to make Docker to work with Sequoia 15.4 (e.g. workaround at GitHub), without success.
Because of this, now I'm stuck in all of my development activities. For example, I cannot develop and deploy anymore my projects and applications.
What can I make to solve that?

Hi all,
I'm trying to integrate Apple’s DeviceCheck API into my Flutter iOS app. I already have everything set up on the backend — the Apple private key, key ID, team ID, and DeviceCheck capability. The backend is generating and signing the JWT correctly and making requests to Apple.
However, I’m currently stuck on the frontend (Flutter):
👉 How can I generate the device_token required by the DeviceCheck API (via DCDevice.generateToken) in a Flutter iOS app?
I understand that DCDevice.generateToken() must be called from native Swift code. I previously attempted to use a MethodChannel to bridge this in Swift, but would prefer not to write or maintain native Swift code if possible.
I've looked for a prebuilt Flutter package to handle this, but nothing exists or is up-to-date on pub.dev.
Main Question:
Is there any Apple-supported way to generate the device_token for DeviceCheck from a Flutter app without writing Swift code manually?
If not, is DCDevice.generateToken() the only possible approach, and must I implement this via Swift and Flutter platform channels?
Thanks!
I am trying to integrate Apple Music API using MusicKit and need to generate a Developer Token. However, when I try to create a new key from the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles section, the “Media Services (MusicKit, ShazamKit, Apple Music Feed)” option is grayed out. We are getting the error 'there are no identifiers available that can be associated with the key.' Although we did checkmark 'musickit' in app services.
I have already:
Enrolled in the paid Apple Developer Program
Created a valid App ID under Identifiers
Logged in as the Account Holder
Tried multiple browsers and devices
Despite this, the option remains disabled. Could you please enable this or let me know what further steps I need to take?
Thank you!

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?
This browser extension is a doc reading enhancer for the Apple Developer website.
It supports i18n translation, hover link previews, and bilingual display.
Currently, it supports four languages: ja-JP, ko-KR, zh-CN, and zh-TW.
It works with Swift/SwiftUI/Foundation modules now, and it's expected to support Swift Test, Swift Charts, UIKit, Swift Playground, and XCode modules by the end of this month.
For more info, check out: https://appledocs.dev.
You can also visit https://appledocs.dev/progress to see translation progress and vote.
Note: It's only works on Chrome、Edge(In review)、Firefox(In review)

where can i find the account quota usage for WeatherAPI?
We have a macOS application packaged as a .pkg file. To notarize it, we first code-sign individual library folders and the .app bundle using the following command:
codesign --force --deep --sign "Developer ID Application: &lt;Our Account Name&gt;, LLC (Team ID)" "Our_product.app"
Code Sign result for .app file:
Our_prodcut.app: valid on disk
Our_product.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement
We are using packages tool to create .pkg file with code signed .app file.
Steps followed once .pkg file is ready:
1. Product Sign:
productsign -sign "Developer ID Installer: &lt;Our Account Name&gt;" output.pkg signed-output.pkg
2. Submit for notorization:
`xcrun notarytool submit signed-outout.pkg --keychain-profile "notarytool-password" --wait
Received following output:
Current status: Accepted.................................
Processing complete
id: 2d5c450f-5b22-4b4d-9579-ef21c0356548

In the illustration on this page related to "Prefer system-defined colors," Light is incorrectly translated as "细体". However, in the context of this article, translating it as "浅色" (light color) would be a more appropriate choice.
Routinely I'll have additional questions when browsing the Apple Developer Documentation. Would be really convenient if we could just submit that feedback from the documentation webpage itself, Apple could have the data, and potentially down the line address it; but at least you'd have the data.
For example, I'm looking at the documentation for AttributedString: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/attributedstringprotocol/index(_:offsetbycharacters:)
Now, I would like to know what would happen if the distance brought the position past the end, what would be returned. Because it's non-optional which I imagine would imply nil would be returned if the parameters were invalid. But it doesn't say.
I run into these small missing behavioral details with some regularity and imagine others do as well. It would be really great if we could just submit that discrepancy and perhaps see some numbers on the page of the total number of discrepancies submitted or something so we can see that it's not just us and have some peace of mind that based on the amount of feedback submitted there's a higher chance that this discrepancy will be addressed in the future.
I am a developer working on an iOS enterprise application. When I deployed the release version to my device, it crashes upon startup. It works fine in debug mode on my device.
The app is an upgraded version of Xamarin Form to .NET MAUI.
I have attached a crash report.
I would appreciate any help/insights on how to resolve.
