Hello, I have a password manager app and would like to help my user's to enable the Safari autofill capability. I've made the password credential extension and that is working great. I just need to help my user's enable the feature. I could point them to Settings->General->AutoFill & Password and instruct them to turn the feature on. However, I've noticed that my competitors are able to present an alert directly from their app to turn the feature on (without going to settings at all). I can't find any documentation on how to do this? Thanks for your help! //Ray

For context, my company develops a data loss prevention (DLP) product. Part of our functionality is the ability to detect sensitive data being pasted into a web browser or cloud-based app. The AppKit release notes for April 2025 document an upcoming “macOS pasteboard privacy” feature, which will presumably ship in macOS 26. Using the user default setting “EnablePasteboardPrivacyDeveloperPreview” documented in the release notes, I tested our agent under macOS 15.5, and encountered a modal alert reading " is trying to access the pasteboard" almost immediately, when the program reads the General pasteboard to scan its contents. Since our product is aimed at enterprise customers (and not individual Mac users), I believed Apple would implement a privacy control setting for this new feature. This would allow our customers to push a configuration profile via MDM, with the “Paste from Other Apps” setting for our application preset to “Allow”, so that they can install our product on their endpoints without manual intervention. Unfortunately, as of macOS 26 beta 4 (25A5316i), there does not seem to be any such setting documented under Device Management — for example in PrivacyPreferencesPolicyControl.Services, which lists a number of similar settings. Without such a setting available, a valuable function of our product will be effectively crippled when macOS 26 is released. Is there such a setting (that I've overlooked)? If not, allow me to urge Apple to find the resources to implement one, so that our customers can preset “Paste from Other Apps” to “Allow” for our application.

Our app uses Sign in with Apple. In recent weeks (or months), we've noticed that emails sent to @privaterelay.appleid.com addresses are not being delivered. We're not receiving any bouncebacks or error messages from the mail server, but the emails never reach the user's mailbox. We've also checked spam folders, with no luck. We have verified that our Email Sources are configured correctly in Apple Developer settings. Is there any way to debug or trace what might be happening with these messages? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I have a password manager app and have noticed a new feature in AutoFill & Passwords called "Set Up Codes In". I see that my competitors have been able to implement this feature but cannot find any documentation on how to do this. How can I make it so my app can support this feature. Any help to pointing me to the documentation or otherwise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! //Ray

Seeing the following error when attempting automatic passkey upgrade - [Warning] NotAllowedError: The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission. We're trying to enable Automatic passkey upgrade (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10125/?time=38) for our website but it's not working from our testing on iOS 18.2 and 18.3 Beta Safari. The flow on our website looks like: the customers use autofill to fill out email and password on the sign-in page (abc.com/signin) PublicKeyCredential.getClientCapabilities is called to check if conditionalCreate supported. land on another page of our website (abc.com/pageX), which calls navigator.credentials.create with mediation conditional (Right after sign-in). We checked that we followed the steps in above video: Allow automatic passkey upgrades is enabled, mediation is set to conditional and password autofill is used to signed in. However, Safari threw an error [Warning] NotAllowedError: The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission. Can Apple help guide us if anything is missed here?

I keep getting invalid_client, here is a test login: https://www.bella-booking.ch/_get_incl/test_apple_login.cfm Any help appreciated. NOTE: Everey other error, like wrong reroute or wrong client id, a different error will be sent frpm apple, after I checked all and crosschecked with jwt.io, it keep getting invalid_client. Any clue? If the response is correct, the token should be displayed on the page. Thx

While I was submitting a new feedback today for an iPhone/iPad storage issue, I saw a new log called “iOS storage log”. I could find no reference to this when I searched online. It made me wonder if it was new and if it contained personal data? Most of us only have one device, with all our personal data. Therefore, I’d appreciate any input on what personal data these logs contain.

Has anybody else experienced something similar? This is on the login screen. I call update() and it doesn't call me back with view() 2025-08-21 17:04:38.669 Db SecurityAgentHelper-arm64[1134:2df1] [***:LoginView] calling update() Then silence...

Hi team, is there a native way to detect if a change has been made to biometrics using FaceID or TouchID? Thanks in advance.

Hey, there are plans to design a government app. When a citizen will login they will see their passport, driving license etc... What is the solution of avoiding mandatory in-app user data deletion?

Dear Apple Developer Support Team, We are experiencing a recurring issue with the DeviceCheck API where the following error is being returned: com.apple.devicecheck.error 0 Upon analyzing our logs, we have noticed that this error occurs significantly more often when users are connected to Wi-Fi networks, compared to mobile networks. This leads us to suspect that there might be a relationship between Wi-Fi configuration and the DeviceCheck service’s ability to generate or validate tokens. We would like to know: Is this error code (0) known to be caused by specific types of network behavior or misconfigurations on Wi-Fi networks (e.g., DNS filtering, firewall restrictions, proxy servers)? Are there any recommended best practices for ensuring reliable DeviceCheck API communication over Wi-Fi networks? Additionally, could you please clarify what general conditions could trigger this com.apple.devicecheck.error 0? The lack of specific documentation makes debugging this issue difficult from our side. Any guidance or internal documentation on this error code and its potential causes would be greatly appreciated. IDE: Xcode 16.3 Looking forward to your support. Best regards,

I have Authorisation Plugin which talks using XPC to my Launch Daemon to perform privileged actions. I want to protect my XPC service narrowing it to be called from known trusted clients. Now since I want authorisation plugin code which is from apple to call my service, I cannot use my own team id or app group here. I am currently banking on following properties of client connection. Apple Team ID : EQHXZ8M8AV Bundle ID starting with com.apple. Client signature verified By Apple. This is what I have come up with. func isClientTrusted(connection: NSXPCConnection) -> Bool { let clientPID = connection.processIdentifier logInfo("🔍 Checking XPC Client - PID: \(clientPID)") var secCode: SecCode? var secStaticCode: SecStaticCode? let attributes = [kSecGuestAttributePid: clientPID] as NSDictionary let status = SecCodeCopyGuestWithAttributes(nil, attributes, [], &secCode) guard status == errSecSuccess, let code = secCode else { logInfo("Failed to get SecCode for PID \(clientPID)") return false } let staticStatus = SecCodeCopyStaticCode(code, [], &secStaticCode) guard staticStatus == errSecSuccess, let staticCode = secStaticCode else { logInfo("Failed to get SecStaticCode") return false } var signingInfo: CFDictionary? let signingStatus = SecCodeCopySigningInformation(staticCode, SecCSFlags(rawValue: kSecCSSigningInformation), &signingInfo) guard signingStatus == errSecSuccess, let info = signingInfo as? [String: Any] else { logInfo("Failed to retrieve signing info") return false } // Extract and Verify Team ID if let teamID = info["teamid"] as? String { logInfo("XPC Client Team ID: \(teamID)") if teamID != "EQHXZ8M8AV" { // Apple's official Team ID logInfo("Client is NOT signed by Apple") return false } } else { logInfo("Failed to retrieve Team ID") return false } // Verify Bundle ID Starts with "com.apple." if let bundleID = info["identifier"] as? String { logInfo("XPC Client Bundle ID: \(bundleID)") if !bundleID.hasPrefix("com.apple.") { logInfo("Client is NOT an Apple system process") return false } } else { logInfo("Failed to retrieve Bundle Identifier") return false } // Verify Apple Code Signature Trust var trustRequirement: SecRequirement? let trustStatus = SecRequirementCreateWithString("anchor apple" as CFString, [], &trustRequirement) guard trustStatus == errSecSuccess, let trust = trustRequirement else { logInfo("Failed to create trust requirement") return false } let verifyStatus = SecStaticCodeCheckValidity(staticCode, [], trust) if verifyStatus != errSecSuccess { logInfo("Client's signature is NOT trusted by Apple") return false } logInfo("Client is fully verified as Apple-trusted") return true } Q: Just wanted community feedback, is this correct approach?

Our desktop app for macos will be released in 2 channels appstore dmg package on our official website for users to download and install Now when we debug with passkey, we find that the package name of the appstore can normally arouse passkey, but the package name of the non-App Store can not arouse the passkey interface I need your help. Thank you

What Has Been Implemented Replaced the default loginwindow:login with a custom authorization plugin. The plugin: Performs primary OTP authentication. Displays a custom password prompt. Validates the password using Open Directory (OD) APIs. Next Scenario was handling password change Password change is simulated via: sudo pwpolicy -u robo -setpolicy "newPasswordRequired=1" On next login: Plugin retrieves the old password. OD API returns kODErrorCredentialsPasswordChangeRequired. Triggers a custom change password window to collect and set new password. Issue Observed : After changing password: The user’s login keychain resets. Custom entries under the login keychain are removed. We have tried few solutions Using API, SecKeychainChangePassword(...) Using CLI, security set-keychain-password -o oldpwd -p newpwd ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db These approaches appear to successfully change the keychain password, but: On launching Keychain Access, two password prompts appear, after authentication, Keychain Access window doesn't appear (no app visibility). Question: Is there a reliable way (API or CLI) to reset or update the user’s login keychain password from within the custom authorization plugin, so: The keychain is not reset or lost. Keychain Access works normally post-login. The password update experience is seamless. Thank you for your help and I appreciate your time and consideration

Apple Sign In - "Sign up not completed" Error in Development Build (React Native / Expo) Problem Summary I'm implementing Apple Sign In in a React Native app using expo-apple-authentication. The Apple sign-in dialog appears as expected, but after tapping "Continue," it displays the message: "Sign up not completed". No credential is returned, and the promise eventually rejects with ERR_REQUEST_CANCELED. App Configuration Platform: React Native (Expo SDK 52) Library: expo-apple-authentication v7.1.3 Target: iOS development build (not Expo Go) Bundle ID: com.example.appname.nativetest (new App ID created for testing) Apple Developer Console Setup (Reviewed Carefully) App ID Explicit App ID (not a wildcard) "Sign In with Apple" capability enabled No associated Services IDs or Sign In with Apple Keys Provisioning Profile Development profile created for the test App ID Profile includes the test device and development certificate Installed successfully and used to sign the app Certificates and Signing Valid Apple Developer Program membership Development certificate installed and selected during build App installs and launches properly on the test device Implementation Attempts Attempt 1: Supabase OAuth Method Initially tried using Supabase’s built-in Apple OAuth provider: Configured with team ID, key ID, and JWT credentials Proper redirect URLs and scheme were in place Resulted in OAuth URL pointing to Supabase instead of Apple, with incomplete client ID Ultimately moved to native implementation for improved control and reliability Attempt 2: Native Apple Sign In (Current Approach) Using expo-apple-authentication with the following code: const credential = await AppleAuthentication.signInAsync({ requestedScopes: [ AppleAuthentication.AppleAuthenticationScope.FULL_NAME, AppleAuthentication.AppleAuthenticationScope.EMAIL, ], }); Relevant app.config.js Section: ios: { bundleIdentifier: 'com.example.appname.nativetest', usesAppleSignIn: true, infoPlist: { NSAppTransportSecurity: { NSAllowsArbitraryLoads: true, NSAllowsLocalNetworking: true, }, }, }, plugins: ['expo-apple-authentication'] Observed Behavior AppleAuthentication.isAvailableAsync() → true Credential state → NOT_FOUND (expected for new user) Apple Sign In dialog appears and allows interaction User taps "Continue" → dialog reports "Sign up not completed" Eventually returns: [Error: The user canceled the authorization attempt], code ERR_REQUEST_CANCELED Confirmed Working Aspects AppleAuthentication API is available and initialized App is signed correctly and launches on the physical test device Apple Sign In dialog appears with correct styling and options Same result observed across both Wi-Fi and cellular networks Clean Setup and Debugging Performed Removed all previous build artifacts Created a new App ID and new provisioning profile Rebuilt the app using expo run:ios --device Validated entitlements and provisioning assignments Removed any Services IDs and Apple Sign In keys used in previous attempts Verified ATS (App Transport Security) policies allow dev-time communication Environment Information Device: iPhone (not simulator) iOS Version: 18.5 Xcode: Latest version Apple ID: Developer account with 2FA enabled Build Method: EAS CLI using expo run:ios --device Open Questions Has anyone experienced the "Sign up not completed" issue with a clean native implementation in Expo? Are there known limitations when testing Apple Sign In in local development builds? Could prior Apple ID authorization attempts impact sign-in behavior during testing? Are there any additional configuration steps, Info.plist changes, or entitlements required beyond those listed above? Thank you in advance for any suggestions or guidance. We’re hoping this is simply a configuration detail that needs to be adjusted.

Greetings! I want to add my pre-compiled binary of v2ray to my application so I can activate it in background as a proxy and run stuff through it. I've codesigned it via: codesign -s - -i production.myproject.v2ray -o runtime --entitlements v2ray.entitlements -f v2ray Contents of entitlements file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.files.downloads.read-write</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.network.client</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.network.server</key> <true/> </dict> </plist> Originally I ran it like this without sandboxing from my main target app: guard let v2rayPath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "v2ray", ofType: nil) else { throw NSError(domain: "ProxyController", code: 1, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "V2Ray binary not found in bundle"]) } let task = Process() task.executableURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: v2rayPath) task.arguments = ["-config", configURL.path] // Redirect output for debugging let pipe = Pipe() task.standardOutput = pipe task.standardError = pipe``` And it ran flawlessly. Now it refuses to start. Any help, pointers or examples of such usage will be greatly appreciated

Is there a step by step program on Sending Push notifications? I seem to be stuck at load private key. I get this error. SecKeyCreateWithData failed with error: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-50 "EC private key creation from data failed" It is a new p8 file. I tried different format. I read some articles that say that there is a bug I think. I don't know for sure because it was written in jibberish. 90% of the code is dealing with these stupid keys. This should be 1 function setting the pipe and then I can use the pipe. This is ridiculous. If anybody has any ideas. The code is a mess because I tried so many different ideas. Push Notification.txt

we can get token but when send to verity from apple. it reture Error : {"responseCode":"400","responseMessage":"Missing or incorrectly formatted device token payload"}

I’ve been running into an issue for over a day when trying to create a Sign in with Apple key. Each time I attempt to download it, I’m redirected to a page that displays an error and provides no further guidance. I’ve contacted Support and haven’t yet received a reply. I’ve also tried across multiple browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox), including incognito modes. Any ideas on how to resolve this? We’re currently stuck and would appreciate guidance.

Hi, I am developing an app that checks if biometric authentication capabilities (Face ID and Touch ID) are available on a device. I have a few questions: Do I need to include a privacy string in my app to use the LAContext's canEvaluatePolicy function? This function checks if biometric authentication is available on the device, but does not actually trigger the authentication. From my testing, it seems like a privacy declaration is only required when using LAContext's evaluatePolicy function, which would trigger the biometric authentication. Can you confirm if this is the expected behavior across all iOS versions and iPhone models? When exactly does the biometric authentication permission pop-up appear for users - is it when calling canEvaluatePolicy or evaluatePolicy? I want to ensure my users have a seamless experience. Please let me know if you have any insights on these questions. I want to make sure I'm handling the biometric authentication functionality correctly in my app. Thank you!
