I'm seeing some odd behavior which may be a bug. I've broken it down to a least common denominator to reproduce it. But maybe I'm doing something wrong.
I am opening a file read-write. I'm then mapping the file read-only and private:
void* pointer = mmap(NULL, 17, PROT_READ, MAP_FILE | MAP_PRIVATE, fd, 0);
I then unmap the memory and close the file. After the close, eslogger shows me this:
{"close":{"modified":false,[...],"was_mapped_writable":false}}
Which makes sense.
I then change the mmap statement to:
void* pointer = mmap(NULL, 17, PROT_READ, MAP_FILE | MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
I run the new code and and the close looks like:
{"close":{"modified":false, [....], "was_mapped_writable":true}}
Which also makes sense.
I then run the original again (ie, with MAP_PRIVATE vs. MAP_SHARED) and the close looks like:
{"close":{"modified":false,"was_mapped_writable":true,[...]}
Which doesn't appear to be correct.
Now if I just open and close the file (again, read-write) and don't mmap anything the close still shows:
{"close":{ [...], "was_mapped_writable":true,"modified":false}}
And the same is true if I open the file read-only.
It will remain that way until I delete the file. If I recreate the file and try again, everything is good until I map it MAP_SHARED.
I tried this with macOS 13.6.7 and macOS 15.0.1.

Is there any particular reason why ASWebAuthenticationSession doesn't have support for async/await? (example below)
do {
let callbackURL = try await webAuthSession.start()
} catch {
// handle error
}
I'm curious if this style of integration doesn't exist for architectural reasons? Or is the legacy completion handler style preserved in order to prevent existing integrations from breaking?
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

Hello
I have a problem with provisionprofile file. I have created Identifier with Sign in with Apple capability turned on, created Profile with Developer ID selected and now I try to export archive with generated Developer ID provision file but it says "Profile doesn't support Sign in with Apple"
Also interesting thing that default provisions like
macOS App Development
Mac App Store Connect
don't show such error when I try to export archive
Maybe this problem is only related to Developer ID provision and Direct Distribution doesn't support Sign in with Apple, but I havent found proves about this idea
Hi,
I have a certificate, how can I display the certificate content in my Mac app just like Keychain Access app does. Can I popup the certificate content dialog just like Keychain Access app?
Hi,
ASCredentialProvider had been almost identically implemented on both iOS and macOS so far, but the ProvidesTextToInsert feature was only added to iOS. It would have been a crucial point to make Credential Providers available in all textfields, without users having to rely on developers correctly setting roles for their Text Fields.
It's right now impossible to paste credentials into Notes, or some other non-password text box both in web and desktop apps for example, in a seamless, OS-supported way without abusing Accessibility APIs which are understandably disallowed in Mac App Store apps. Or just pasting an SSH key, or anything. On macOS this has so many possibilities. It could even have a terminal command.
It's even more interesting that "Passwords..." is an option in macOS's AutoFill context menu, just like on iOS, however Credential Providers did not gain this feature on macOS, only on iOS.
Is this an upcoming feature, or should we find alternatives? Or should I file a feature request? If it's already in the works, it's pointless to file it.
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.
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a way to configure Passkey on iOS so that authentication is only possible using FaceID or TouchID. Specifically, I want to disable the use of passcodes and QR codes for authentication. Additionally, is there a method to detect if the authentication was done using a passcode or QR code?
Thanks for your help!
iOS18.1.1 macOS15.1.1 xcode16.1 Error Domain=com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError Code=1004 "Unable to verify webcredentials association of ********** with domain ******************. Please try again in a few seconds."
Our domain must query with VPN, so I set webcredentials:qa.ejeokvv.com?mode=developer
following:
"If you use a private web server, which is unreachable from the public internet, while developing your app, enable the alternate mode feature to bypass the CDN and connect directly to your server. To do this, add a query string to your associated domains entitlement, as shown in the following example:
:?mode=
"
but it still not working, even after I set mode=developer.
Please help!!!!

Hi everyone,
I am trying to use ASWebAuthenticationSession to authorize user using OAuth2.
Service Webcredentials is set.
/.well-known/apple-app-site-association file is set.
When using API for iOS > 17.4 using new init with callback: .https(...) everything works as expected, however i cannot make .init(url: ,callbackURLScheme: ....) to work.
How can i intercept callback using iOS <17.4?
Do I really need to use universal links?
callbackURL = https://mydomain.com/auth/callback
Hi community,
I'm wondering how can I request the permission of "System Audio Recording Only" under the Privacy & Security -> Screen & System Audio Recording via swift?
Did a bunch of search but didn't find good documentation on it.
Tried another approach here https://github.com/insidegui/AudioCap/blob/main/AudioCap/ProcessTap/AudioRecordingPermission.swift which doesn't work very reliably.

Hi,
I am working on a react native module used for tis connection and I am trying to implement the possibility to use a custom certificate/Private key.
I have already implemented on android but on iOS I am getting hard times, we cannot find lots of resources, api is different on macOS and iOS with subtle differences so after having tested SO, chatgpt, ... I am trying here:
I even tried to use an internal api since it seems ffmpeg uses it but with no success.
I have attached my current code because it does not fit here.
to sump up after having inserted cert and private key I try to get a SecIdentityRef but it fails. I assume that it's not enough to simply add certain and private key...
// Query for the identity with correct attributes
NSDictionary *identityQuery = @{
(__bridge id)kSecClass: (__bridge id)kSecClassIdentity,
(__bridge id)kSecMatchLimit: (__bridge id)kSecMatchLimitOne,
(__bridge id)kSecReturnRef: @YES,
(__bridge id)kSecReturnData: @YES,
(__bridge id)kSecAttrLabel: @"My Certificate",
//(__bridge id)kSecUseDataProtectionKeychain: @YES
};
SecIdentityRef identity = NULL;
status = SecItemCopyMatching((__bridge CFDictionaryRef)identityQuery, (CFTypeRef *)&identity);
TcpSocketClient.txt
SecItemCopyMatching with kSecClassIdentity fails,
SecIdentityCreate return NULL...
So please help and indicates what I am doing wrong and how I am supposed getting a SecIdentityRef.
Thanks
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've just implemented Sign-In-With-Apple and everything is working perfectly, but my app seems to be in some strange state where users are unable to remove it from the Sign-In-With-Apple section of their settings.
Things I've tried:
-- Deleting from Mac. (It just stays in the list)
-- Deleting from the iPhone (It stays in the list)
-- Deleting from account.apple.com (same issue)
-- I've noticed in the browser inspector tools I receive a 200 on the DELETE request, but the app remains.
-- Multiple users
Also have tried:
-- Revoking the token through the REST API
-- I get an email saying the token has been revoked, but it's still working
-- Same code, different app id (works fine!)
It seems like maybe my app is in some sort of weird state? Has anyone come across this before?
I'm developing an iOS app that utilizes Universal Links and ASWebAuthenticationSession to deep-link from a website to the app itself. This implementation adheres to the recommendations outlined in RFC 8252, ensuring that the app opening the ASWebAuthenticationSession is the same app that is launched via the Universal Link.
Problem:
While most users can successfully launch the app via Universal Links,a few percent of users experience instances where the app fails to launch, and the user is redirected to the browser.
What I've Tried:
ASWebAuthenticationSession Configuration: I've double-checked the configuration of callbackURLScheme and presentationContextProvider.
Universal Links: Verified the apple-app-site-association file and associated domains entitlement.
Network Conditions: Tested on various network environments (Wi-Fi, cellular) and devices.
Questions:
What are the potential causes for this behavior?
Has anyone else encountered a similar issue and found a solution?
Are there any debugging techniques or ways to generate more detailed logs?
I haven't been able to determine which device or OS version is causing this problem.
Thank you.
Hello everyone,
In my application, i have implemented authentication using ASWebauthenticationSession. However, when redirecting the user to a WKWebView, no cookies are shared, causing the session to be lost and requiring the user to log in again.
Is there a way to share cookies between the two? If not, what would be the best approach to set up authentication that ensures SSO when switching to a WebView ?
Thank you very much for your help !
Our app uses Face ID to optionally secure access to the app for device owner. This not the new 'Require Face ID' feature of iOS 18 - this is our own custom implementation that has some other related logic for authentication handling.
Starting in iOS 18.3.1, starting the app results in multiple Face Id checks being fired - sometimes just a couple but sometimes many more.
Curiously, this is happening even when I completely disable any code we have that prompts for Face ID. It appears to come from nowhere.
This does not happen on prior iOS 18 releases so, while I might be doing something improper in the code, something specific has changed in iOS 18.3.1 to cause this issue to manifest.
I'm looking for advice as to what could be occurring here, how to debug a Face Id check that appears to come from nowhere, and what, if any, workarounds exist.
Our business model is to identify Frauds using our advanced AI/ML model. However, in order to do so we need to collect many device information which seems to be ok according to https://developer.apple.com/app-store/user-privacy-and-data-use/
But it's also prohibited to generate a fingerprint, so I need more clarification here.
Does it mean I can only use the data to identify that a user if either fraud or not but I cannot generate a fingerprint to identify the device?
If so, I can see many SKD in the market that generates Fingerprints like https://fingerprint.com/blog/local-device-fingerprint-ios/
and https://shield.com/?

We are using ASWebAuthenticationSession with apps on IoS to achieve SSO between apps. The IdP for authentication (OIDC) is an on-premise and trusted enterprise IdP based on one of the leading products in the market. Our problem is that the user is prompted for every login (and logouts) with a consent dialogue box:
“AppName” wants to use “internal domain-name” to Sign In
This allows the app and website to share information about you.
Cancel Continue”
I have read in various places that Apple has a concept of “Trusted domains” where you can put an “Apple certified” static web-page on the IdP. This page needs to contain specific metadata that iOS can verify. Once a user logs in successfully a few times, and if the IdP is verified as trusted, subsequent logins would not prompt the consent screen.
Question: I struggle to find Apple documentation on how to go about a process that ends with this “Apple certified web-page” on our IdP”. Anyone who has experience with this process, or who can point me in some direction to find related documentation?
I am developing a MacOS Authorisation Plugin, I have username and password entry items and utilising SFAuthorizationPluginView to display that. I am able to do so.
Requirement is I have to store ed25519 private key in PEM format in System Keychain as I need to read this entry before login to sign a request to a remote server.
I only want my authorisation plugin to access this private key in System Keychain.
I am looking up resources on the internet but I could not find specific to macOS Authorisation plugin, many are specific to iOS and some point at using entitlements and app group, but I doubt that applies to macOS authorisation plugin.
I'll really appreciate if some pointers are shared how can I store a private credential in System Keychain so that it can be used by only my plugin only, and this is before I have logged into the system.
