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?

Hi, I am trying to debug a .NET MAUI App on an iPhone in Visual Studio 2022 on Windows. But to do this I need to add my Apple Developer Account to Visual Studio 2022. When I try to do this, I get an error message saying: Error adding account There was an error while trying to log in: Authentication service is unavailable. When I give it a different user ID that is part of the same Apple Developer Account it gives the same error. When I give an incorrect password, the same error appears.

My application uses a text file with an extension of .dssfilelist. On Linux I would register the Mime type and associate it with the application in the .desktop file. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info"> <mime-type type="text/dssfilelist"> <comment>DeepSkyStacker file-list file</comment> <glob pattern="*.dssfilelist" /> </mime-type> </mime-info> I believe that I need to add stuff to the Info.plist for my application, but I also understand that CFBundleTypeExtensions is deprecated. So please could you show me what I now need to add to the Info.plist file so that these files will be registered as "text/dssfilelist" type and associated with my application and to associate a .icns file with it?

I just updated my device to iOS 18.3 and despite it connecting to my computer, it doesn't appear in Xcode. Some quick troubleshooting led me to the theory that I need to download the matching simulator runtime for it to appear. But I have searched far and wide and the latest sim runtime is ios 18.2 Am I missing something here?

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: &amp;lt;Our Account Name&amp;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: &amp;lt;Our Account Name&amp;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.................................

I have uploaded my app to App Store Connect TestFlight. Then I have downloaded it in TestFlight on my iPad. But the app always crashes a few seconds after opening. It seems to be always the same issue. I have a few crash reports in App Store Connect--&gt;App name--&gt;TestFlight--&gt;Feedback--&gt;Crashs. I have opened a crash report in Xcode but I don´t find the error that causes the crash. How can I find the error in Xcode? Is it possible to find the class and line in the class where the crash happened? In addition, how can I export a crash report from Xcode? The crash doesn´t happen in debug mode on my iPad, it only happens when I install and open my app after downloading it from TestFlight on my iPad.

I've got a large and complex app which has several dependencies upon 3rd party libraries (installed as pods). The app is structured according to Model-View-Controller design and there is a requirement to implement the Model part as an .xcframework so it can be included and used in the original app along with a few new apps. However, Apple documentation states that umbrella frameworks are not supported (Technical Note TN2435). The Model code has several dependencies which would be totally unfeasible to replace or remove, for example it uses RealmSwift for database storage. Obviously it would be impossible to write one's own database storage scheme in place of using Realm. However, if my framework uses Realm as a dependency, then its now become an umbrella framework. So therefore not supported according to Apple documentation. So what are options/solutions?

I would like to know if macOS DEXT supports the following networking features: Tx/Rx Multiqueue, RSS, RSC, NS/ARP offload, PTP or packet timestamping and TSN. I couldn't find relevant documentation for these features in the Apple Developer Documentation. If they are supported, could you let me know which features are supported and how to find the corresponding official Apple documentation? Thanks

Dear Apple,I'm an iOS developer and provided feedback in the good old online bug tracker for many years.Decent conversations with Apple egnineers often resulted in bug fixes or updated documentation.The fact that my contributions helped to improve the products was rewarding.So I kept adding reports in the new Feedback Assistant app in macOS Catalina.But ever since (September 2019) I never ever got any response on any ticket.1 month ago I even added a report if Apple even read my reports. Again, no response ever since.So my question on this forum: Is Apple actually reading reports in the new Feedback Assistant?This can either be answered by Apple, or by other Developers that hopefully did response feedback from Apple. Or did not.Best regards,Martijn

My question set is fairly broad, but I can't seem to find any answers anywhere. As a fairly low-level developer, the vast majority of my work is done with Sublime Text, terminal-based compilers, IDEs like Coq's (coq.inria.fr), and code that has to be compiled by terminal. These projects are at the very fabric of what I do, and I fear that Rosetta 2 will be inadequate until LLVM and other systems are updated to run natively on Apple Silicon. Honestly, I can't really afford complex virtualization systems like Parallels or VMWare (not that they help much) and I'd rather not give up MacOS for my Ubuntu desktop. I was raised on MacOS and I can't imagine losing features like scenes or seamless integration with the rest of my electronics. I want to keep my initial post fairly simple and broad, but if anyone has any questions on what I need supported, feel free to ask. I am sure I'm not alone here.

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 (*) Strictly they are DeepSkyStacker and DeepSkyStackerCL

I installed MacOS Sequoia 15.4 and now my backup script no longer works. My script is using rsync in this way: rsync -avz —delete —log-file=“$LOG_FILE” “$SRC_DIR” “$DEST_DIR” This has been working fine for a very long time. After updating to 15.4, this produces the error “rsync: unrecognized action —log-file=/users/admin/logs/backuplog_***.log”. The log file path is correct (and hasn’t changed). Interestingly, the man page for rsync no longer shows the —log-file as an option. I know I can use: rsync -avz —delete “$SRC_DIR” “$DEST_DIR” > “$LOG_FILE”` or even rsync -avz —delete “$SRC_DIR” “$DEST_DIR” > “$LOG_FILE” 2>&1` to also capture stderr. However, I liked the output from the built-In log option. Does anyone know why this might have been removed or if there is a way to get it back? Thanks.

Description When starting the iOS simulators on macOS-15 intel image, the following assertion happens: The same issue not showing for macOS 15-arm64 image. Here is the issue details: https://github.com/actions/runner-images/issues/10925 raised by multiple users. AVPIdentity: AppleVirtualPlatformHostKey.mm:234: Assert: platformExpert, value: 0 AVPIdentity: AppleVirtualPlatformHostKey.mm:234: Failed to get AppleVirtualPlatformARMPE service. The Simulators worked fine the day before the above issue was posted. What changed? Did something update?

I'm exploring using a handful of frameworks to share code between macOS apps. However, one of these frameworks needs privilege to function. The main app has a helper tool utilizing SMAppService. However, I can't work out if there's a feasible way to use that helper tool to support the framework dependency. Should I be creating a second helper tool for the framework instead? Or am I barking up the wrong tree? Thanks!

After the Update of Latest Command Line Tools 16.3 I am facing issue to compile C++ programs. Like it is giving some kind of library error in the MACOSX15.sdk file and this is the error.

I can't understand that it's their any issue with Command Line Tools 16.3??

Subject: Assistance Needed with Enabling Speech Recognition Entitlement for iOS App Hi everyone, I’m seeking guidance regarding the Speech Recognition entitlement for my iOS app using Capacitor. Our App and we submitted a request to Apple Developer Support four days ago, but have not yet received a response. 🧩 Summary of the issue: Our app uses the Capacitor speech recognition plugin (@capacitor-community/speech-recognition) to listen for native voice input on iOS. We have added both of the required keys in Info.plist: NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription NSMicrophoneUsageDescription We previously had a duplicate microphone key, which caused the system to silently skip the permission request. After removing the duplicate, we did briefly see the microphone permission prompt appear. However, in our most recent builds, the app launches without any prompts, even on a fresh install. The plugin reports: available = true permissionStatus = granted Despite this, no speech input is ever received, and the listener returns nothing. We believe the app is functioning correctly at a code level (plugin loads, no errors, correct Info.plist), but suspect the missing Speech Recognition entitlement is blocking actual access to the speech system. 🔎 What we need help with: How can we confirm whether the Speech Recognition entitlement is enabled for our App ID? If it’s not enabled, is there a way to escalate or re-submit the request? Our app is currently stuck until this entitlement is granted. Thank you for your time and any guidance you can offer!

I was just having a look at some crash reports downloaded by Xcode, and I noticed the same wrong pattern I already mentioned here: the crash reports indicate that method A calls method B, which is impossible. In the first crash report below, method MainViewController.showSettings seems to be called by ConfirmMoveViewController.openSourceInFinder, which is impossible. ConfirmMoveViewController.openSourceInFinder is a context menu action in a modal window, and MainViewController.showSettings is in a completely different window and the two methods have no relation whatsoever. In the second crash report below, MainViewController.setSortMode is triggered by the press of a button (and nothing else) but seems to be called by OtherViewController.copy that can be triggered by a context menu (or keyboard shortcut). The two methods have no relation whatsoever. The rest of the stack trace confirm that it's indeed the button that was pressed. This seems to me like a quite serious bug in how macOS creates crash reports. 1.crash 2.crash

For example, what if I wanted to remove CoreData from the SDK when I install to reduce the SDK’s size?

I'm having issues supporting the brand new iPad Mini 7. No simulator and the actual device (just received) doesn't appear to be supported. So I can't test my SwiftUI apps on this new device. I can't even do a "Hello, world!" app. I get this: The developer disk image could not be mounted on this device: Error mounting image: 0xe800010f (kAMDMobileImageMounterPersonalizedBundleMissingVariantError: The bundle image is missing the requested variant for this device.) When will this new device be supported? Or is there a work-around? Or is there an update?
