We are implementing just-in-time account creation using Platform Single Sign-on. After creating the account, we are registering the user with PSSO and we want to ensure that the IDP account used for account creation matches the IDP account used in the user registration flow. An easy way to do this appears to be using loginUsername on the ASAuthorizationProviderExtensionLoginManager object. loginUsername gets set during account creation and then we can check what the user is entering during registration. The documentation, however, marks this attribute as deprecated. There is no indication of what could be used instead. Is there some other value we could look at? Does Apple have a plan to introduce a preferred API option? Thanks!

Why is it that after hiding an app, it can still be seen in many places in the settings, such as: Settings -> General -> iPhone Storage Settings -> private and security -> Pemissions Settings -> Search Settings -> Siri -> Siri APp Access -> Apps Additionally, in the App Store, the hidden app still shows as downloaded. Moreover, global searching for the full name of the app in global search also reveals the app and allows it to be opened. Why isn't the hiding more thorough? Is this a bug or intentionally designed this way?

It is clearly stated here that automatically created passwords are 20 characters long, contain 2 hyphens and exactly one uppercase letter and one digit. I have only ever seen generated passwords where the arrangement is in 3 groups of 6 (separated by the hyphens). From the description in the page referred to above, it could be that the generated password might look like: nzomZhf-qnbqd-k8ibtt i.e., a 7-5-6 pattern This would comply with the definition (if that's what it is) on the aforementioned Support page. Is it guaranteed that auto generated passwords will conform to the 3 groups of 6 pattern?

Is the method used to unlock an iOS device available to an app? We would like to require a step-up to MFA (in our app) if passcode was used and allow for single factor if Face ID was used.

We develop an SDK that requires sharing a device-specific identifier with our web API, in order to guarantee that certain artifacts are only used on the correct device. For the device-specific identifier, we use UIDevice.currentDevice.identifierForVendor which should not be restricted under ATT. In production, many developers are getting back to us with complaints of web requests being blocked: nw_endpoint_handler_path_change [C1 [our url]:443 waiting parent-flow (satisfied (Path is satisfied), interface: en0[802.11], ipv4, dns, uses wifi)] blocked tracker Connection 1: received failure notification Connection 1: failed to connect 1:50, reason -1 Connection 1: encountered error(1:50) Task <FA03088C-DDFC-437E-A06F-E05CC930E3E0>.<1> HTTP load failed, 0/0 bytes (error code: -1009 [1:50]) Task <FA03088C-DDFC-437E-A06F-E05CC930E3E0>.<1> finished with error [-1009] Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1009 "The Internet connection appears to be offline."

The blacklist stays in place regardless of whether we send no identifiable data in the web request (in fact, an empty ping request to our URL still gets blocked) The only way to get past the block is to use ATT, and request from the user that we track them across websites. This is false, because we don't track any user data whatsoever; and iOS disables ATT by default (in the settings app, users have to opt-in). Our iOS SDK already has an xcprivacy manifest mentioning the fact that we use a device-specific identifier, and that we send it to our web API URL. Still, we get blocked. How can we fix this? We can standup a proxy URL but I'd imagine it's only a matter of time before that also gets blocked. Apple has not provided any guidance on the specifics of how domains get blocked, and how they can be unblocked.

I saw this sentence in the documentation at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/nsrequirescertificatetransparency: 'Don’t use this key. The current system enforces this behavior, and new certificates can’t meet the requirement on older systems.' I understand that new systems will enable CT (Certificate Transparency) verification by default. However, I created a new demo to verify this on an iOS 13 device, and CT verification was not actually enabled.

I’ve been trying to solve this for some time And wondering if anyone else has come across this. using att framework and receiving user consent to use IDFA. is It possible to know when a user has entered another app on the same device ? flow: user consents to att framework in App 1 on iPhone user opens app 2 on iphone will app 1 know that user has opened App 2?

Hi, My app features its own lock screen secured by Face ID or Touch ID. With the introduction of the locked app feature in iOS 18, I want to ensure that users do not experience duplicate lock screens. Could you please advise on how to detect if the locked app feature is enabled in iOS 18, so I can disable my app's internal lock screen when necessary? Thank you!

Hi, Are there any samples that IdP vendors can use to add support for Platform SSO in their solutions? I found this link: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/authenticationservices/platform_single_sign-on_sso/creating_extensions_that_support_platform_sso, which explains how to implement the extension on a device. However, I am having trouble understanding what needs to be implemented on the IdP itself from this documentation. Does anyone have any links or resources that can help? Thank you, Bala

I am implementing passkeys for my Project. We hosted apple-app-site-association file in 2 different sites for my project maintenance. One is with ww.sitename.com and another is www3.sitename.com. In Xcode adding each of them and testing individually. It's working good at first site and throwing error for second one like below Application with identifier <> is not associated with domain <>

I know how to set up a parental gate to keep a child user away from a web portal for parents or guardians. But is it even OK with Apple (or just in general) to open a browser from inside a kids app? I can think of two ways to do this: Launch a browser with UIApplication.shared.open(). This takes the user (presumably an adult) out of the app. Will Apple object to this? Use an in-app browser with WKWebView. (Wrapped in UIViewRepresentable because I'm using SwiftUI.) Option 2 has some problems with Google SSO, which is a requirement for me. Some details in stackoverflow 2016 and stackoverflow 2019 and gitHub. I can't figure out how to apply the solutions in those posts to the SwiftUI architecture or even the UIViewRepresentable.

Hello, I need to verify my domain and email with spf I need to use Signin with apple with private relay service Here is my records of DNS Service(AWS Route53) My domain is metapocket.io DKIM record : sig1._domainkey.metapocket.io value : sig1.dkim.metapocket.io.at.icloudmailadmin.com.

We're using this (on a mac) to do 3rd party authentication. The completion handler is getting Authentication session got error: [The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.AuthenticationServices.WebAuthenticationSession error 1.)], in domain: [com.apple.AuthenticationServices.WebAuthenticationSession] That seems to be generated if the auth window is closed. However... it's not being closed, so we end up spawning a second one to do it, and this one seems to work.

I have a bunch of certificate related things, along with a bunch of secure notes stored in the keychain. These, like previously in System Preferences, don’t show up in the new Passwords app (as tested in iOS). So before I risk losing all that information by installing Sequoia, I wonder if the KeychainAccess.app is still around, allowing me to access these items. In case Apple is listening: do NOT remove that app, until all the critical functionality is also in Passwords, or some other app….

Hi, It may be a stupid question, but we really wonder if there is a way for MDM to push a unique mTLS cert to our iOS application or if it can populate a client certificate in the iOS where our application can access it. Like browser app, how do browser mTLS certs get pushed? Thanks, Ying

Hello All, I am new to iOS development and would like to detect the smart card readers connected to USB-C port on iOS (16+) devices. The smart card reader is a custom hardware and not MFi certified. So as per my understanding, I cannot use ExternalAccessory.framework without MFi certification. Correct? How else can I achieve this? Does TKSmartCardSlotManager works for this purpose (or is it only for NFC devices?)? Is there any example for how to use this interface? I couldn't find any example for this as a starting point... Thanks in advance.

Hello forums, I have a problem with Autofill multiply SecureFields. I created a SwiftUI view with 2 SecureFields, createPassword and confirmPassword. Does not matter how I change the textContentType, AutoFill will only fill the first SecureField. For testing, I set the first SecureField textContentType to .none / .userName/ .email, and second SecureField sets to .newPassword, but AutoFill still fills password in first SecureField. As I know Apple advises to put both SecureField textContentType to .newPassword but it seems only working in UIKit: Enabling Password AutoFill on a text input view struct ContentView: View { @State private var createPassword = "" @State private var confirmPassword = "" var body: some View { VStack { SecureField("Password", text: $createPassword) .textContentType(.newPassword) SecureField("Password confirmation", text: $confirmPassword) .textContentType(.newPassword) } .padding() } } Thank you!

Hi, I just watched session "10203" on "Meet AccessorySetupKit". In 09:13, it was mentioned that there is special UI for entering PIN codes / passphrases. How exactly is this UI triggered? And is there any UI for setting a pin during initial setup? I couldn't find any further information about any of this in the documentation. Best, Klemens
