I am experiencing an issue with Apple Sign-In on Vision Pro. When I build and run the app from Xcode, everything works fine—after signing in, the app returns to the foreground as expected. However, when I launch the app directly on Vision Pro (not from Xcode), after completing the sign-in process, the app does not reopen from the background automatically. Instead, it closes, and I have to manually tap the app icon to reopen it. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a way to ensure the app properly resumes after sign-in without requiring manual intervention?

Hi! I've just opened Xcode and found that I can't build my app anymore. The error was about signing. Basically, there's no team in my account. Also, I've found that all my certificates have been revoked! I created my dev account a month ago and released only one macOS app. It's SecFolder (it's not self-promotion!!!). App not even in the App Store. I planned to self-distribute it. I'm in a little shock right now since I've just launched and had my first users. And of course, my app is now gone from their Macs, screaming "malware" popup in their faces now :( Since my app is all about paranoia security, this is basically a death sentence for my project... Could someone with experience in the Apple dev ecosystem help me understand what might have gone wrong? Why might Apple think that my app is malware or something? P.S. My app is about Advanced File Access Control for macOS. It gives user complete control over which applications can access specified by user files and folders

Hello! I need to implement requestTrackingAuthorization into my app but I'm not exactly sure how, the engine I use handles all of the Xcode stuff for me so I'm not very experienced in that sector nor do I have an Xcode project for this app, any help?

I'm facing a bug about App Tracking Transparency permission, my app still shows this permission popup before, and that version was still working fine. I don't understand why today it doesn't show the permission popup anymore, is anyone else having the same problem?

hello. I am using the app with webview. When I log in to Apple, a typeerror appears. How can I solve this?

I am developing an app that uses Sign In with Apple for authentication, and I need to test different scenarios, such as when a user chooses not to share their email. However, after logging in for the first time, I cannot reset the permissions flow to test again. Even after uninstalling the app, revoking access to the Apple ID in ‘Settings > Apps Using Apple ID,’ and attempting to log in again, only the token (identityToken) is returned, while the full information (email, name, surname) is no longer provided. This makes it difficult to simulate the initial user behavior, especially when choosing to share or not share their email. I would like to know: 1. Is there a way to completely reset the permissions flow so I can test as if it were the first time using the same Apple ID? 2. Are there any recommended solutions for development scenarios without needing to create multiple Apple IDs? Thank you for any guidance on how to proceed.

Please help me clarify the current situation regarding the necessity of a privacy manifest file in 3rd party SDKs. It would be nice to have a reply from someone working at Apple, to have a reliable answer. A quick summery of the events from last year https://developer.apple.com/support/third-party-SDK-requirements/ : "Starting in spring 2024, you must include the privacy manifest for any SDK listed below when you submit new apps in App Store Connect that include those SDKs, or when you submit an app update that adds one of the listed SDKs as part of the update." Last autumn, we started receiving warning emails from Apple after initiating app reviews, even when our apps did not have a newly added SDK: ITMS-91061: Missing privacy manifest - Starting November 12, 2024, if a new app includes a privacy-impacting SDK, or an app update adds a new privacy-impacting SDK, the SDK must include a privacy manifest file. Please contact the provider of the SDK that includes this file to get an updated SDK version with a privacy manifest. According to this warning message, app updates which do not contain any new SDKs are still not affected. Since then, at one point in time the deadline changed, as now we have February 12, 2025 in the privacy manifest documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/adding-a-privacy-manifest-to-your-app-or-third-party-sdk However, this page does not contain any mention of the circumstances, it only states in general that apps you submit for review in App Store Connect must contain a valid privacy manifest file for a certain number of commonly used third-party SDKs. My questions Does the February deadline apply to every app update, even if they do not contain any newly added SDKs? Or does it still affect only the app updates "that adds one of the listed SDKs as part of the update." ? If the former, the 3rd party requirements page should be updated in my opinion. And if the latter, why does the documentation not contain this important piece of information? We have a basic product which then gets customised for the clients so we upload several different apps based on the same code with the same dependencies. How is it possible that during autumn, Apple sent ITMS-91061: Missing privacy manifest warnings for some of our apps, but did not send it for others? Does Apple not validate all the apps but only some of them randomly? Also, the warning still states that it should be relevant if "an app update adds a new privacy-impacting SDK", but that was not the case for us, we did not add anything newly to our apps - why did we even get these warnings then? Just in general: when the deadlines change, is there any channel where Apple communicates these, besides the warning emails? I did not see any posts on the Apple Developer site's News page about this February date, I just found it by accident. I don't even remember seeing a notice about the original November deadline, we just started receiving the email warnings without expecting them. Thank you in advance for anyone sharing an answer.

Hello, I am currently implementing a biometric authentication registration flow using WebAuthn. I am using ASAuthorizationPlatformPublicKeyCredentialRegistrationRequest, and I would like to know if there is a way to hide the "Save to another device" option that appears during the registration process. Specifically, I want to guide users to save the passkey only locally on their device, without prompting them to save it to iCloud Keychain or another device. If there is a way to hide this option or if there is a recommended approach to achieve this, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Also, if this is not possible due to iOS version or API limitations, I would be grateful if you could share any best practices for limiting user options in this scenario. If anyone has experienced a similar issue, your advice would be very helpful. Thank you in advance.

this is my monitor image that shows DeviceCheck api responding very slowly.

I working on a app, both a wep-app, the prototype of the webapp is ready and i started don my IOS MVP for a couple of weeks ago. Since the SPA is written in ViteJs it was «easy» to think that RN was a good way of making the MVP. Since I just started its not so «hard» to change, and now I am wondering about doing that. After I upgraded from 0.75 to 0.76 problems is knocking on my door all the time, and my time is used for making Metro eg. run, rather then develop the app. I have a Oauth2 PKCE server running and over time other known Oauth2 providers will be implemented: google, apple eg. So since I am looking for other ways to develop it Swift came up. How is Oauth PKCE with Swift? Is it some libraries that is recommended to use is it any well known problems with Swift and PKCE? KR

Hello, We received a rejection on one of our IOS applications because we were doing Microsoft MSAL login through the user's browser. The representative recommended that we use Webview to do in-app logins. However when we tried to handle the custom app uri redirection (looking like myapp://auth/), Webview does not seem to send the user back to the application. Does anyone have a fix for this? Thanks!

When presenting a cookie banner for GDPR purposes, should ATT precede the cookie banner? It seems that showing a Cookie Banner and then showing the ATT permission prompt afterwards (if a user elects to allow cookies/tracking) would be more appropriate. Related question: Should the “Allow Tracking” toggle for an app in system settings serve as a master switch for any granular tracking that might be managed by a 3rd party Consent Management Platform? If ATT is intended to serve as a master switch for tracking consent, if the ATT prompt is presented before a cookie banner, should the banner even appear if a user declines tracking consent? I’m not finding any good resources that describe this flow in detail and I’m seeing implementations all over the place on this. Help! Thanks!!!

After declaring NSNearbyInteractionUsageDescription in accordance with the official documentation, a permission prompt used to appear asking if the user wants to allow Nearby Interaction permissions. Additionally, I could see two related permissions in the app’s settings. This behavior was working correctly on iOS 17. However, after upgrading to iOS 18, the permission prompt no longer appears upon reinstalling the app, and the related settings are no longer visible in the app settings. I would like to confirm if there are any additional configurations required for iOS 18 to make Nearby Interaction permissions function as expected. Thank you very much for your assistance. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/nearbyinteraction/initiating-and-maintaining-a-session ios 17: visable, ios 18 : gone

I'm trying to make an app that is able to quietly run in the background. It needs to detect other apps' or the system's incoming video and/or audio, using only on-device resources to determine if it might be a scam caller. It will tap into an escalating cascade of resources to do so. For video/image scam detection, it uses OpenCV to detect faces, then refers to a known database of reported scam imagery. For audio scam calls, we defer to known techniques of voice modulation in frequency and/or amplitude. Each video and/or audio result will be relayed via notification banner as well as recorded in-app. Crucially, if the results are uncertain, users have the option to submit it to a global collaborative cloud database for investigative teams; 60 second audio snippets or series of images where faces were detected (60 second equivalent). In the end, we expect to deploy this app across most parts of Asia and Africa, thereby protecting generations of iPhone and iPad users. However, we have not been able to find a method that does this, and there is no known correspondance able to provide such technical guidance. Please assist.

My organization routes all device traffic through a network security device that performs TLS intercept (SSL inspection). As might be expected, this breaks passkey Cross-Device Authentication (CDA) functionality, since the thumbprints don't match end-to-end between the authenticator (iPhone) and the client (laptop). As soon as I disable the VPN tunnel through our security device, the passkey login works as expected. The security team is willing to exclude the relay servers from SSL inspection, but we are unable to find a list of the relevant endpoints. Is there a list of Apple relay servers that are used for passkey tunnelling? We can review the network logs to find the traffic, but I'd prefer an authoritative list. For full context: we are using device-bound passkeys via Microsoft Authenticator to login to Entra but, as I understand it, the passkey is still handled via Apple's standard passkey infrastructure and APIs. Thanks!

Has anyone launched a game for kids using Unity Analytics? I am not understanding if Unity Analytics is considered a "third party". And has anyone successfully shipped a game for kids with Unity Analytics? And if not, has anyone solved the issue Apple rejecting submission?

I am currently developing an SMS filter extension and would like to clarify certain aspects of App Store policies and Apple's privacy guidelines regarding data collection. In my extension, SMS messages are filtered using the deferQueryRequestToNetwork method to perform server-based filtering. While I understand and respect Apple’s prohibition on transmitting or storing sensitive data such as message content or sender information, I am considering collecting non-personally identifiable statistical data related to the filtering process, such as: The total number of messages filtered via the extension. Hourly statistics of filtered messages. Category-based statistics (e.g., promotion, phishing, transaction). This statistical data would be: Fully anonymized, ensuring no personally identifiable information (PII) is collected or stored. Used exclusively for providing users with aggregated insights, such as daily or weekly filtering statistics, and improving the filtering process. Given that the filtering occurs via the deferQueryRequestToNetwork mechanism, the data collection would involve the server but would remain strictly limited to anonymized statistics. Furthermore: Users would be fully informed about this data collection via a transparent privacy policy and in-app notification. Explicit user consent would be obtained before collecting or transmitting any data. Data transmission would be secured, and no raw message content or sender details would ever be stored or transmitted. Could you confirm if this practice complies with Apple’s policies? Are there any additional requirements or recommendations for handling anonymized statistical data collected via server-based filtering in an SMS filter extension?
