When my Intents extension resolves an INStartCallIntent and returns .continueInApp while the device is locked, the call does not proceed unless the user unlocks the device. After unlocking, the app receives the NSUserActivity and CallKit proceeds normally.
My expectation is that the native CallKit outgoing UI should appear and the call should start without requiring unlock — especially when using AirPods, where attention is not available.
Steps to Reproduce
Pair and connect AirPods.
Lock the iPhone.
Start music playback (e.g. Apple Music).
Place the phone face down (or cover Face ID sensors so attention isn’t available).
Say: “Hey Siri, call Tommy with DiscoMonday(My app name).”
Observed Behavior
Music mutes briefly.
Siri says “Calling Tommy with DiscoMonday.”
Lock screen shows “Require Face ID / passcode.”
After several seconds, music resumes.
The app is not launched, no NSUserActivity is delivered, and no CXStartCallAction occurs.
With the phone face up, the same phrase launches the app, triggers CXStartCallAction, and the call proceeds via CallKit after faceID.
Expected Behavior
From the lock screen, Siri should hand off INStartCallIntent to the app, which immediately requests CXStartCallAction and drives the CallKit UI (reportOutgoingCall(...startedConnectingAt:) → ...connectedAt:), without requiring device unlock, regardless of orientation or attention availability when AirPods are connected.

Starting from iOS 26 simulator (beta 7), I could not see any debugDescription from UIToolbar. The Accessibility Inspector tool could not see anything beneath the toolbar even if we can see elements like static texts and buttons on the simulator.
When the same app is run on an iOS 18.2 simulator, the debugDescription for elements under a UIToolbar is available.
Is the absence of debugDescription for UIToolbar a bug?
Hi Team,
its been observed that, there are some Spam calls which triggers the face recognitions and disappear within few seconds, what i mean is that while you see at screen who is calling the facial recognition scans your face… i had this episodes many times..
My app controls the cursor movement in a text view on iPhone and iPads.
On screen touch, the IOS cursor position is out of sync with the app cursor position.
Is there a way to find out, on screen touch, where the ios cursor positition is and update the app cursor to the ios cursor position?
When they are out of sync, the user has to move the cursor to the startIndex and navigate from there. Frustating!
I have looked at many programming books, forums, and internet search with nothing to no avail.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. The app names are SummaGramPhonex and SummaGramIPAD11 and SummaGramIPAD13.
Thanks. Charlie

Hello All,
I am currently developing a mobile management system using declarative management and for the most part it is pretty great. There is one consistent issue I have run into and it comes when testing VPP app installs with not enough licenses.
When my server detects that it can't provide a license ID it will return a 404, which causes the rest of the DM syncing to stop, and the activation to throw an error.
Per the documentation for using simple activation:
An array of strings that specify the identifiers of configurations to install. A failure to install one of the configurations doesn’t prevent other configurations from installing
The above would imply that if a config fails it should not affect anything else (aside from possibly reporting an error.
Am I returning the wrong error code for it to continue or is the behavior correct and the documentation is wrong?
Any additional info would be useful
Hi,
I am experiencing a critical issue with my app (dbMobil) in its published state. When the app is installed via TestFlight, it works without any problems and no errors can be detected. However, when downloading the same app from the App Store, it immediately crashes for many users without displaying any error message, directly at app start.
This issue also occurs on my own test devices:
TestFlight version: works flawlessly
App Store version: crashes immediately upon launch
It appears that there must be a difference between the version I submitted and published via TestFlight and the one currently available on the App Store.
Could you please provide me with feedback on what differences may exist between these two versions and where the cause of this issue might lie?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Hello,
I'm developing a feature for my app, that allows users to challenge their friends. The friend request functionality is built using Universal Links, but I've run into a significant issue.
The Universal Links are correctly deep-linking into the app. However, once the app opens, nothing happens—the friend request acceptance or rejection flow does not occur. This prevents users from completing friend requests and building their friend list.
Here are examples of the Universal Links I'm generating:
https://www.strike-force.app/invite?type=invite&userID=...
https://www.strike-force.app/invite?type=invite&friendRequestID=...
https://www.strike-force.app/profile?userID=...
I've recently updated my cloudflare-worker.js to serve a paths array of ["*"] in the AASA file, so I believe the links themselves should be valid.
Technical Details & Error Logs
In the console, I am consistently seeing the following error message:
Cannot issue sandbox extension for URL:https://www.strike-force.app/invite?token=7EF1E439-090B-4DF2-BE64-9904F50A3F8B
Received port for identifier response: <(null)> with error:Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "Client not entitled" UserInfo={RBSEntitlement=com.apple.runningboard.process-state, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Client not entitled, RBSPermanent=false} elapsedCPUTimeForFrontBoard couldn't generate a task port
This error appears to be related to entitlements and process state, but I am not sure if it's the root cause of the Universal Link issue or a separate problem. The 'Client not entitled' error on line 3 has had me chasing down entitlements issues. But, I've added the Associated Domains entitlement with the proper applink URLs and verified this in my Developer Portal. I've regenerated my provisioning profile, manually installed it, and selected/de-selected Automatically Manage Signing. As well I've verified my AASA file and it's correctly being served via HTTPS and returning a 200.
curl -i https://strike-force.app/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
curl -i https://www.strike-force.app/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
I am looking for guidance on why the friend request flow is not being triggered after a successful deep-link and how I can fix the related error.
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Overview of Issue
My implementation of HealthKit is no longer able to read values due to authorization issues (ex. "HealthKitService: Not authorized to read HKQuantityTypeIdentifierHeight. Status: 0"). I have been through every conceivable debugging step including building a minimal project that just requests HealthKit data and the issue has persisted. I've tried my personal as well as Organizational developer teams. My MacOS and Mac Mini. Simulator and personal device. Rechecked entitlements, reprovisioned certificates. This makes no sense. And I have been unable to find anything similar in the Developer forums or documentation.
The problem occurs during the onboarding flow when the app requests HealthKit permissions. Even when the user grants permission in the HealthKit authorization sheet, the authorizationStatus for characteristic data types (like Biological s3x and Date of Birth) and quantity data types (like Height and Weight) consistently returns as .sharingDenied. This prevents the app from pre-filling the user's profile with their HealthKit data, forcing them to enter it manually.
The issue seems to be environmental rather than a specific code bug, as it has been reproduced in a minimal test case app and persists despite extensive troubleshooting.
Minimal test project: https://github.com/ChristopherJones72521/HealthKitTestApp**
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Build app, attempt to sign in. No data is imported into the respective fields in the main app. Console logs confirm.
PLATFORM AND VERSION
iOS
Development environment: Xcode Version 16.4 (16F6), macOS 15.5 (24F74)
Run-time configuration: iOS 18.5
Relevant Code Snippets
Here are the key pieces of code that illustrate the implementation and the problem:
1. Requesting HealthKit Permissions (HealthKitService.swift)
This function is called to request authorization for the required HealthKit data types. The typesToRead and typesToWrite are defined in a centralized HealthKitTypes struct.
// HealthKitService.swift
func requestPermissions(completion: @escaping (Bool, Error?) -> Void) {
guard HKHealthStore.isHealthDataAvailable() else {
completion(false, HealthKitError.notAvailable)
return
}
let typesToRead: Set<HKObjectType> = [
HKObjectType.characteristicType(forIdentifier: .dateOfBirth)!,
HKObjectType.characteristicType(forIdentifier: .biologicals3x)!,
HKObjectType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .height)!,
HKObjectType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .bodyMass)!
]
let typesToWrite: Set<HKSampleType> = [
HKObjectType.workoutType(),
HKObjectType.quantityType(forIdentifier: .activeEnergyBurned)!
]
healthStore.requestAuthorization(toShare: typesToWrite, read: typesToRead) { success, error in
DispatchQueue.main.async {
if let error = error {
print("HealthKitService: Error requesting authorization: \(error.localizedDescription)")
completion(false, error)
} else {
print("HealthKitService: Authorization request completed. Success: \(success)")
completion(success, nil)
}
}
}
}
2. Reading Biological s3x (HealthKitService.swift)
This function attempts to read the user's biological s3x. The print statements are included to show the authorization status check, which is where the issue is observed.
// HealthKitService.swift
func readBiologicals3x() async throws -> HKBiologicals3xObject? {
guard HKHealthStore.isHealthDataAvailable() else { throw HealthKitError.notAvailable }
let s3xAuthStatus = healthStore.authorizationStatus(for: HKObjectType.characteristicType(forIdentifier: .biologicals3x)!)
print("HealthKitService: Auth status for Biological s3x: \(s3xAuthStatus.rawValue)")
guard s3xAuthStatus == .sharingAuthorized else {
print("HealthKitService: Not authorized to read Biological s3x.")
throw HealthKitError.notAuthorized
}
do {
return try healthStore.biologicals3x()
} catch {
print("HealthKitService: Error executing biologicals3x query: \(error.localizedDescription)")
throw HealthKitError.queryFailed(error)
}
}
3. Calling HealthKit Functions During Onboarding (OnboardingFlowView.swift)
This is how the HealthKitService is used within the onboarding flow. The requestHealthKitAndPrefillData function is called after the user signs in, and it attempts to read the data to pre-fill the profile form.
// OnboardingFlowView.swift
func readHealthKitDataAsync() async {
print("Attempting to read HealthKit data async...")
// ... (calls to HealthKitService.shared.readDateOfBirth(), readHeight(), etc.)
do {
if let biologicals3xObject = try await HealthKitService.shared.readBiologicals3x() {
if self.selectedGender == nil {
switch biologicals3xObject.biologicals3x {
case .female: self.selectedGender = .female
case .male: self.selectedGender = .male
case .other: self.selectedGender = .other
default:
break
}
}
}
} catch {
print("OnboardingFlowView: Error reading Biological s3x: (error.localizedDescription)")
}
print("OnboardingFlowView: Finished HealthKit data processing.")
}

I'm not sure at which beta it happened, but somewhere during the iOS 26 Public Beta releases, my iCloud Contacts have duplicated close to 100 times each. When I scroll to the bottom of the list to try and manage duplicates, it indicates I only have 2 duplicates. I should be sitting around 350 contacts and instead, I now have over 10k.
Anyone else with this issue? I have filed Feedback in the app. I'm not certain if it was related to iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 as I have both, but noticed it first on my iPhone. I confirmed that the issue has affected my iCloud Contacts and therefore all of my Apple devices included older iOS and MacOS versions. Short of manually deleting all the duplicates, I'm at a loss as to how I can correct his.
I've noticed that when I'm in a moving vehicle going faster than 15 mph I can't tap a WhatsApp message and get the contextual menu (copy, forward etc). It's like the app or iOS disregards the tactile input above 15 mph.
I need to try it with other apps to see if it happens with them. I'm guessing it's an iOS thing because I doubt WhatsApp has access to the speed value from the GPS. Maybe that's not a correct assumption.
It's really a pain when you can't get the contextual menu to pop up. Can the feature that blocks popup menus at speeds above 15 mph be turned off?
Hello,
We are currently developing an application that uses the Host-based Card Emulation (HCE) entitlement to enable corporate access functionality. With this entitlement, we have successfully established HCE communication and can interact with our access control systems to unlock doors.
Our question is related to improving the user experience:
We would like this access functionality to work without requiring the app to be in the foreground, as this adds friction for users during entry.
Specifically, we would like to know:
Is it possible for our app to coexist with Apple Wallet as the default contactless app, so that:
Our app handles NFC interactions for corporate access (e.g., opening doors).
Apple Wallet remains the default for payments.
If that coexistence is not possible, and our app is set as the default contactless app,
Will the system still need to launch our app into the foreground to complete a transaction (e.g., to emulate the NFC card)?
Or is there a way to trigger HCE responses in the background (e.g., using a background process or service extension)?
Any guidance on how to configure the app for optimal background access behavior, while maintaining compatibility with Wallet, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Hi everyone, I'm using an app group to share data between iOS and it's watch companion app.
I ensured that is has the same identifier in Signing & Capabilities and in the .entitlements files.
Here is the UserDefaults part:
class UserDefaultsManager {
private let suitName = "group.com.sanjeevbalakrishnan.Test"
public func saveItems(_ items: [ItemDTO]) {
print("Save \(items.count) items to shared defaults")
let defaults = UserDefaults(suiteName: suitName)
let data = try? JSONEncoder().encode(items)
defaults?.set(data, forKey: "items")
}
public func loadItems() -> [ItemDTO] {
let defaults = UserDefaults(suiteName: suitName)
print(defaults)
guard let data = defaults?.data(forKey: "items") else {
print("watchOS received data is empty")
return []
}
let items = [ItemDTO].from(data: data)
print("Load \(items.count) items from user defaults")
return items
}
}
For testing I called loadItems after saveItems on iOS app and it returned items. However, on watchOS app it always returns empty array.
What do I need to consider?
Thanks.
Best regards
Sanjeev
We are using a column style split view controller as root view of our app and in iOS26 the navigation titles of primary and supplementary view controllers are not visible and secondary view controller title is displayed in supplementary column.
Looks the split view hidden all the child view controllers title and shown the secondary view title as global in macCatlayst. The right and left barbutton items are showing properly for individual view controllers.
Facing this weird issue in iOS26 betas. The secondary navigation title also visible only when WindowScene,titlebar.titleVisibility is not hidden.
Kindly suggest the fix for this issue as we can't use the secondary view navigation title for showing supplementary view's data. The issue not arises in old style split views or when the split view embedded in another splitView.
Refer the sample code and attachment here
let splitView = UISplitViewController(style: .tripleColumn)
splitView.preferredDisplayMode = .twoBesideSecondary
splitView.setViewController(SplitViewChildVc(title: "Primary"), for: .primary)
splitView.setViewController(SplitViewChildVc(title: "Supplementary"), for: .supplementary)
splitView.setViewController(SplitViewChildVc(title: "Secondary"), for: .secondary)
class SplitViewChildVc: UIViewController {
let viewTitle: String
init(title: String = "Default") {
self.viewTitle = title
super.init(nibName: nil, bundle: nil)
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
self.title = viewTitle
self.navigationItem.title = viewTitle
if #available(iOS 26.0, *) {
navigationItem.subtitle = "Subtitle"
}
let leftbutton = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .cancel, target: nil, action: nil)
navigationItem.leftBarButtonItem = leftbutton
let rightbutton = UIBarButtonItem(barButtonSystemItem: .add, target: nil, action: nil)
navigationItem.rightBarButtonItem = rightbutton
}
}
Hello,
I hope you're all doing well! I'm currently working on integrating new iOS 26 features into my app, and so far, the process has been really exciting. However, I've encountered an issue when updating the badge of a UIBarButtonItem, and I’m hoping to get some insights or suggestions.
The app has two UIViewController instances in the navigation stack, each containing a UIBarButtonItem.
On the first controller, the badge is set to 1, and on the second, the badge is set to 2. In the second controller, there is a "Reset" button that sets the badge of the second controller to nil.
However, when I tap the "Reset" button, instead of setting the badge to nil, it sets the value to 1.
I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions on how to solve this problem. Maybe I am using the badge API incorrectly.
Thank you!

Hello Apple forum !
I spotted a weird behaviour with LazyVStack in a ScrollView. I understand that it loads its views only once upon appearance unlinke VStack that loads everything in one shot.
What I noticed also, it seems to reload its views sometimes when scrolling back up to earlier loaded views. The thing is, it isn't always the case.
struct LazyVStackTest: View {
var body: some View {
ScrollView {
LazyVStack {
ForEach(0..<1000, id: \.self) { _ in
// if true {
MyText()
// }
}
}
}
}
struct MyText: View {
var body: some View {
let _ = Self._printChanges()
HStack {
Text("hello")
}
}
}
}
If we consider the code above on XCode 26 beta 7 on an iOS 26 or iOS 18.2 simulator.
Scroll to the bottom : you'll see one "LazyVStackTest.MyText: @self changed" for each row.
Then scroll back up to the top, we'll see again the same message printed multiple times.
--> So I gather from this that LazyVStack not only loads lazily but also removes old rows from memory & recreates them upon reappearance.
What I don't get however is that if you uncomment the "if true" statement, you won't see the reloading happening. And I have absolutely no clue as to why 😅
If someone could help shed some light on this weird behaviour, it would be greatly appreciated ^^
PS : the issue is also present with XCode 16.2 but at a deeper lever (ex: if we embed another custom View "MyText2" inside "MyText", the reloading is in "MyText2" & not "MyText")
Is the Cancel button intentionally removed from UISearchBar (right side)?
Even when using searchController with navigationItem also.
showsCancelButton = true
doesn’t display the cancel button.
Also:
When tapping the clear ("x") button inside the search field, the search is getting canceled, and searchBarCancelButtonClicked(_:) is triggered (Generally it should only clear text, not cancel search).
If the search text is empty and I tap outside the search bar, the search is canceled.
Also when I have tableview in my controller(like recent searches) below search bar and if I try to tap when editing started, action is not triggered(verified in sample too). Just cancellation is happening.
In a split view controller, if the search is on the right side and I try to open the side panel, the search also gets canceled.
Are these behaviors intentional changes, beta issues, or are we missing something in implementation?
When changing a camera's exposure, AVFoundation provides a callback which offers the timestamp of the first frame captured with the new exposure duration: AVCaptureDevice.setExposureModeCustom(duration:, iso:, completionHandler:).
I want to get a similar callback when changing frame duration.
After setting AVCaptureDevice.activeVideoMinFrameDuration or AVCaptureDevice.activeVideoMinFrameDuration to a new value, how can I compute the index or the timestamp of the first camera frame which was captured using the newly set frame duration?
Hello!
I have experienced a weird bug in iOS 26 Beta (8) and previous beta versions. The safe area inset is not correctly aligned with the keyboard toolbar on real devices and simulators.
When you focus a new textfield the bottom safe area is correctly placed aligned the keyboard toolbar.
On real devices the safe area inset view is covered slightly by the keyboard toolbar, which is even worse than on the simulator.
Here's a clip from a simulator:
Here's the code that reproduced the bug I experienced in our app.
#Preview {
NavigationStack {
ScrollView {
TextField("", text: .constant(""))
.padding()
.background(Color.secondary)
TextField("", text: .constant(""))
.padding()
.background(Color.green)
}
.padding()
.safeAreaInset(edge: .bottom, content: {
Color.red
.frame(maxWidth: .infinity)
.frame(height: 40)
})
.toolbar {
ToolbarItem(placement: .keyboard) {
Button {} label: {
Text("test")
}
}
}

I investigated what network interface names are assigned to carrier networks on a dual SIM iPhone by examining the output of getifaddrs(). (An part of the program used for this is provided below.)
//////////////
struct ifaddrs *interfaces = NULL;
struct ifaddrs *an_interface = NULL;
if (0 == getifaddrs(&interfaces)) {
an_interface = interfaces;
while (an_interface != NULL) {
if( an_interface->ifa_addr->sa_family == AF_INET) {
NSString* name = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:an_interface->ifa_name];
NSLog(@"Interface name is: %@", name);
}
an_interface = an_interface->ifa_next;
}
}
freeifaddrs(interfaces);
In this investigation, it appeared that the interface name for the sXGP SIM selected under "iPhone > Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data" was always "pdp_ip0".
(A screenshot of "Cellular Data" is provided below. this is sample of sXGP selected )"
[QUESTION]
Is the SIM selected in Settings of iPhone always assigned to "pdp_ip0"?
[BACKGROUND]
I am developing a VoIP application and opening sockets by specifying IP addresses for communication.
On a dual SIM iPhone, multiple networks (IP addresses) are visible. Therefore, I need to determine which network to use. My question is whether I can reliably make this decision based on the network interface name.
If the SIM selected in Settings is always assigned to "pdp_ip0", I intend to open the socket using the IP address of "pdp_ip0".
Alternatively, should I use a different method to select the appropriate network interface?

To verify TLS 1.3 session resumption behavior in URLSession, I configured URLSessionConfiguration as follows and sent an HTTP GET request:
let config = URLSessionConfiguration.ephemeral
config.tlsMinimumSupportedProtocolVersion = .TLSv13
config.tlsMaximumSupportedProtocolVersion = .TLSv13
config.httpMaximumConnectionsPerHost = 1
config.httpAdditionalHeaders = ["Connection": "close"]
config.enablesEarlyData = true
let session = URLSession(configuration: config, delegate: nil, delegateQueue: nil)
let url = URL(string: "https://www.google.com")!
var request = URLRequest(url: url)
request.assumesHTTP3Capable = true
request.httpMethod = "GET"
let task = session.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in
if let error = error {
print("Error during URLSession data task: \(error)")
return
}
if let data = data, let responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) {
print("Received data via URLSession: \(responseString)")
} else {
print("No data received or data is not UTF-8 encoded")
}
}
task.resume()
However, after capturing the packets, I found that the ClientHello packet did not include the early_data extension.
It seems that enablesEarlyData on URLSessionConfiguration is not being applied.
How can I make this work properly?
