We used below method to resize image while compress the image, Below method is correct or need to do the correction in method or "CGBitmapContextCreate" -(UIImage *)resizeImage:(UIImage *)anImage width:(int)width height:(int)height { CGImageRef imageRef = [anImage CGImage]; CGImageAlphaInfo alphaInfo = CGImageGetAlphaInfo(imageRef); if (alphaInfo == kCGImageAlphaNone) alphaInfo = kCGImageAlphaNoneSkipLast; CGContextRef bitmap = CGBitmapContextCreate(NULL, width, height, CGImageGetBitsPerComponent(imageRef), 4 * width, CGImageGetColorSpace(imageRef), alphaInfo); CGContextDrawImage(bitmap, CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height), imageRef); CGImageRef ref = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(bitmap); UIImage *result = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:ref]; CGContextRelease(bitmap); CGImageRelease(ref); return result; }

I think I really have tried everything and I did all according to official documentation to support game mode on iOS or iPadOS but it doesn't matter what I do it just doesn't get triggered. Funny enough it works during development when I install it via Xcode but as soon as it is live on the store and when I install it from there game mode doesn't get triggered anymore. What I have atm I have added (even though it is deprecated) <key>GCSupportsGameMode</key> <true/> I have set the (but it seems only supported for macOS) <key>LSApplicationCategoryType</key> <string>public.app-category.games</string> I have added <key>LSSupportsGameMode</key> <true/> It just doesn't work. Is there anything else what needs to be done? Should the flag LSSupportsGameMode not be enough normally? The reason why this is so annoying is that my app is a real time streaming app and I want to profit from minimised background activities for smoother gameplay and more consistent frame rates like mentioned in the documentation.

Hi Apple team, Game Mode was introduced in iOS 18. To activate Game Mode, an app must include specific key-value pairs in its *.plist and be categorized as a "Game" on the App Store. My app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/voidlink/id6747717070) works primarily as a self-hosted game streaming (PC->iPhone/iPad) client. Game Mode provides clear benefits in terms of latency and frame rate stability, but it can currently only be activated when running via Xcode or TestFlight. I am an individual iOS developer based in China, where an additional government license is required for apps to be listed under the "Game" category on the App Store. Obtaining such a license is very difficult for independent developers, so my app has been categorized under "Utilities" instead.(If move the app to game category, it will disappear from Chinese App Store immediately) Expectation / Suggestion: Please consider making Game Mode available as a local, user-controllable option on iOS18/26+, such as through a system “App Pool” where users can choose which apps to enable Game Mode for, regardless of App Store category. This would greatly benefit use cases like streaming clients, benchmarking tools, and remote play utilities, without requiring developers to reclassify their apps as “Games” on App Store.

Dear Apple Color Management Team, I’m a professional visual creator working on color-critical photo and graphic projects using macOS (currently 26.1 Tahoe). In recent macOS releases, LUT-based ICC display profiles (such as XYZ LUT + Matrix types generated by DisplayCAL or professional spectrophotometers) can no longer be installed or activated via ColorSync. This limitation significantly affects professional workflows in photography, graphic design, prepress, and video color grading — fields that rely on precise display profiling. The current workaround (converting LUT profiles to simple shaper/matrix ICC v2) results in less accurate tone response and color reproduction, particularly in the dark range and wide-gamut displays. I kindly request Apple to restore or re-enable the ability to install and use ICC v2/v4 LUT-based display profiles under ColorSync, as was possible on macOS Monterey and Ventura. This would allow professionals to continue using trusted calibration tools such as DisplayCAL, X-Rite i1Profiler, and Calibrite Profiler to achieve accurate color management. macOS is widely used in professional creative industries, and restoring this feature would be a huge help for countless photographers, designers, and colorists. Thank you for your attention and commitment to professional users. Best regards, Richárd Deutsch Professional Photographer https://riccio.hu/ MacBook Pro (M4 Pro, macOS 26.1)

I have been trying to run an open source Windows executable that I would like to help porting to macOS using the Game Porting Toolkit but I stumbled on an issue quite early in the application lifecycle.

Hello XQuartz is an open-source effort to develop a version of the X.Org X Window System (https://www.xquartz.org/), widely used to bring graphical support to applications running in remote servers (usually via SSH). Since macOS Tahoe, XQuartz fails to refresh properly on window resize (more info here https://github.com/XQuartz/XQuartz/issues/438#issuecomment-3371409500), leading to severe usability issues. The XQuartz developers are already aware of the issue, but I’m wondering if there’s anything we can do at the OS level to resolve it and restore the usual behavior from before macOS Tahoe. Thanks, KiM

How can I paste a string to the findNavigator of a TextEditor ?

I have a game built in Unreal Engine 5.6 which uses tilt motion controls to rotate an object. I've restricted the app to only run in portrait for iPhone, and everything works fine, however for iPad I've had a few issues relating to multitasking and I can't seem to solve it. Forcing the app to portrait only still allows the app to run in landscape mode, but shows black bars either side of the game, and the axes for the motion controls are incorrect. X becomes Y and Y becomes X, and there's no way for my app to know which orientation it is because the container is still technically portrait. Allowing my game to run in all orientations makes the whole app more presentable, it doesn't add black bars and the game is still functional and I'm able to map the controls correctly because the game knows it's landscape rather than portrait. The problem with allowing my app to run in landscape mode is if multitasking is enabled on the ipad, you can resize the app to be portrait, and then I run into the same problem again where the game thinks it's portrait mode and all of the axes are wrong again. I tried getting the true orientation of the device rather than the scene, but the game is intended to be played flat so instead of returning the orientation of the OS the orientation is FaceUp, which doesn't help. I need to either disable multitasking or find a way of getting the orientation of the OS (not the scene or the device). I haven't found how to get the OS orientation so I've been trying to disable multitasking. I've got Requires Fullscreen true and UIApplicationSupportsMultipleScreens false in my info.plist but my iPad still seems to allow the window to be resized in landscape view. Opening the IOS workspace of my project Requires Fullscreen is ticked but under that it says "Supports Multiple Windows" and the arrow button next to it takes my to my info.plist values, but no indication of how I can change it. I'm using Unreal Engine 5.6 and Xcode 16.0. Xcode is old I know, but this version of unreal engine doesn't seem to support any newer.

When previewing the recording of gameplay the buttons to exit or save are unclickable behind the top bar clock and Wi-Fi/5G status bar. Which means that you have to quit the game in order to continue. Tested on multiple devices. Does anyone have a solution to this? At the moment we have disabled it altogether for iOS 26 users.

Just found out this key available for visionOS https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com.apple.developer.low-latency-streaming It seems to keep video streaming from being interrupted by AWDL, our community needs it badly for self-hosted game streaming (PC to iPhone / iPad). Related apps: Moonlight / VoidLink / SteamLink. Can we expect this on iOS/iPadOS 26, or even iOS/iPadOS 18 ?

Since macOS 15.3.2, we have observed that when another window is moved near the App Store's install button, the button disappears. We have attached a related video in the Feedback submission here https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/20444423 Our application overlays a transparent, watermark-window on top of the system window, which causes the install button in the App Store to be hidden when a user attempts to install an application.Could you advise on how to avoid this issue?

Does anyone know if we will be able to airplay content from another Apple device, say an iPad or iPhone to the Vision Pro?

Hello everyone, I'm working on a screen recording app using ScreenCaptureKit and I've hit a strange issue. My app records the screen to an .mp4 file, and everything works perfectly until the .captureMicrophone is false In this case, I get a valid, playable .mp4 file. However, as soon as I try to enable the microphone by setting streamConfig.captureMicrophone = true, the recording seems to work, but the final .mp4 file is corrupted and cannot be played by QuickTime or any other player. This happens whether capturesAudio (app audio) is on or off. I've already added the "Privacy - Microphone Usage Description" (NSMicrophoneUsageDescription) to my Info.plist, so I don't think it's a permissions problem. I have my logic split into a ScreenRecorder class that manages state and a CaptureEngine that handles the SCStream. Here is how I'm configuring my SCStream: ScreenRecorder.swift // This is my main SCStreamConfiguration private var streamConfiguration: SCStreamConfiguration { var streamConfig = SCStreamConfiguration() // ... other HDR/preset config ... // These are the problem properties streamConfig.capturesAudio = isAudioCaptureEnabled streamConfig.captureMicrophone = isMicCaptureEnabled // breaks it if true streamConfig.excludesCurrentProcessAudio = false streamConfig.showsCursor = false if let region = selectedRegion, let display = currentDisplay { // My region/frame logic (works fine) let regionWidth = Int(region.frame.width) let regionHeight = Int(region.frame.height) streamConfig.width = regionWidth * scaleFactor streamConfig.height = regionHeight * scaleFactor // ... (sourceRect logic) ... } streamConfig.pixelFormat = kCVPixelFormatType_32BGRA streamConfig.colorSpaceName = CGColorSpace.sRGB streamConfig.minimumFrameInterval = CMTime(value: 1, timescale: 60) return streamConfig } And here is how I'm setting up the SCRecordingOutput that writes the file: ScreenRecorder.swift private func initRecordingOutput(for region: ScreenPickerManager.SelectedRegion) throws { let screeRecordingOutputURL = try RecordingWorkspace.createScreenRecordingVideoFile( in: workspaceURL, sessionIndex: sessionIndex ) let recordingConfiguration = SCRecordingOutputConfiguration() recordingConfiguration.outputURL = screeRecordingOutputURL recordingConfiguration.outputFileType = .mp4 recordingConfiguration.videoCodecType = .hevc let recordingOutput = SCRecordingOutput(configuration: recordingConfiguration, delegate: self) self.recordingOutput = recordingOutput } Finally, my CaptureEngine adds these to the SCStream: CaptureEngine.swift class CaptureEngine: NSObject, @unchecked Sendable { private(set) var stream: SCStream? private var streamOutput: CaptureEngineStreamOutput? // ... (dispatch queues) ... func startCapture(configuration: SCStreamConfiguration, filter: SCContentFilter, recordingOutput: SCRecordingOutput) async throws { let streamOutput = CaptureEngineStreamOutput() self.streamOutput = streamOutput do { stream = SCStream(filter: filter, configuration: configuration, delegate: streamOutput) // Add outputs for raw buffers (not used for file recording) try stream?.addStreamOutput(streamOutput, type: .screen, sampleHandlerQueue: videoSampleBufferQueue) try stream?.addStreamOutput(streamOutput, type: .audio, sampleHandlerQueue: audioSampleBufferQueue) try stream?.addStreamOutput(streamOutput, type: .microphone, sampleHandlerQueue: micSampleBufferQueue) // Add the file recording output try stream?.addRecordingOutput(recordingOutput) try await stream?.startCapture() } catch { logger.error("Failed to start capture: \(error.localizedDescription)") throw error } } // ... (stopCapture, etc.) ... } When I had the .captureMicrophone value to be false, I get a perfect .mp4 video playable everywhere, however, when its true, I am getting corrupted video which doesn't play at all :-

Hi, I have an Unity game. I need to have multiple App Icons for my game for it to be able to be recognized in different countries. In other words, is it possible to have an iOS app in which the App Icon changes based on device locale/language? On Android this is possible using Unity Localization package "com.unity.localization"

Is it possible to start screen recording (through Control Center) without user prompt? I mean to ask user permission for the first time and after that to start and stop recording programmatically only? I need to record screen only for specific events.

Hello, I am trying to capture screen recording ( output.mp4 ) using ScreenCaptureKit and also the mouse positions during the recording ( mouse.json ). The recording and the mouse positions ( tracked based on mouse movements events only ) needs to be perfectly synced in order to add effects in post editing. I started off by using the await stream?.startCapture() and after that starting my mouse tracking function :- try await captureEngine.startCapture(configuration: config, filter: filter, recordingOutput: recordingOutput) let captureStartTime = Date() mouseTracker?.startTracking(with: captureStartTime) But every time I tested, there is a clear inconsistency in sync between the recorded video and the recorded mouse positions. The only thing I want is to know when exactly does the recording "actually" started so that I can start the mouse capture at that same time, and thus I tried using the Delegates, but being able to set them up perfectly. import Foundation import AVFAudio import ScreenCaptureKit import OSLog import Combine class CaptureEngine: NSObject, @unchecked Sendable { private let logger = Logger() private(set) var stream: SCStream? private var streamOutput: CaptureEngineStreamOutput? private var recordingOutput: SCRecordingOutput? private let videoSampleBufferQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.francestudio.phia.VideoSampleBufferQueue") private let audioSampleBufferQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.francestudio.phia.AudioSampleBufferQueue") private let micSampleBufferQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.francestudio.phia.MicSampleBufferQueue") func startCapture(configuration: SCStreamConfiguration, filter: SCContentFilter, recordingOutput: SCRecordingOutput) async throws { // Create the stream output delegate. let streamOutput = CaptureEngineStreamOutput() self.streamOutput = streamOutput do { stream = SCStream(filter: filter, configuration: configuration, delegate: streamOutput) try stream?.addStreamOutput(streamOutput, type: .screen, sampleHandlerQueue: videoSampleBufferQueue) try stream?.addStreamOutput(streamOutput, type: .audio, sampleHandlerQueue: audioSampleBufferQueue) try stream?.addStreamOutput(streamOutput, type: .microphone, sampleHandlerQueue: micSampleBufferQueue) self.recordingOutput = recordingOutput recordingOutput.delegate = self try stream?.addRecordingOutput(recordingOutput) try await stream?.startCapture() } catch { logger.error("Failed to start capture: \(error.localizedDescription)") throw error } } func stopCapture() async throws { do { try await stream?.stopCapture() } catch { logger.error("Failed to stop capture: \(error.localizedDescription)") throw error } } func update(configuration: SCStreamConfiguration, filter: SCContentFilter) async { do { try await stream?.updateConfiguration(configuration) try await stream?.updateContentFilter(filter) } catch { logger.error("Failed to update the stream session: \(String(describing: error))") } } func stopRecordingOutputForStream(_ recordingOutput: SCRecordingOutput) throws { try self.stream?.removeRecordingOutput(recordingOutput) } } // MARK: - SCRecordingOutputDelegate extension CaptureEngine: SCRecordingOutputDelegate { func recordingOutputDidStartRecording(_ recordingOutput: SCRecordingOutput) { let startTime = Date() logger.info("Recording output did start recording \(startTime)") } func recordingOutputDidFinishRecording(_ recordingOutput: SCRecordingOutput) { logger.info("Recording output did finish recording") } func recordingOutput(_ recordingOutput: SCRecordingOutput, didFailWithError error: any Error) { logger.error("Recording output failed with error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } private class CaptureEngineStreamOutput: NSObject, SCStreamOutput, SCStreamDelegate { private let logger = Logger() override init() { super.init() } func stream(_ stream: SCStream, didOutputSampleBuffer sampleBuffer: CMSampleBuffer, of outputType: SCStreamOutputType) { guard sampleBuffer.isValid else { return } switch outputType { case .screen: break case .audio: break case .microphone: break @unknown default: logger.error("Encountered unknown stream output type:") } } func stream(_ stream: SCStream, didStopWithError error: Error) { logger.error("Stream stopped with error: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } I am getting error Value of type 'SCRecordingOutput' has no member 'delegate' Even though I am targeting macOs 15+ ( macOs 26 actually ) and macOs only. What is the best way to achieving the desired result? Is there any other / better way to do it?
