We’re developing an AVFoundation-based video recording app (4K @ 60 fps required for biomechanical analysis). On most devices this works perfectly (iPhone 12/14/15/16 non-Pro models), but on several iPhone Pro models (12 Pro, 13 Pro, 14 Pro, 15 Pro/Pro Max), we consistently get 4K 30 fps recordings—even when the device should support 4K 60 fps on the wide-angle camera. What we observe We configure the session for .hd4K3840x2160. We iterate through AVCaptureDevice.formats and select formats that: have 3840×2160 resolution support ≥60 fps (videoSupportedFrameRateRanges) On some Pro devices, this format search returns no results, even though: The Camera app records 4K60 fine. External references list the wide camera as 4K60 capable. The fallback becomes the device's default 4K30 format, so final files are 3840×2160 @ 30 fps. This happens immediately on app launch (not after heating), so not thermal-related. What we’ve tried Force selecting .builtInWideAngleCamera instead of dual/triple cameras. Disabling HDR (videoHDREnabled = false). Disabling low-light boost. Allowing 59.94 fps formats (in case exact 60.0 isn’t exposed). Logging all videoSupportedFrameRateRanges per format. What we’re seeing in logs On affected Pro devices, the capture device reports only 4K formats with maxFrameRate ≈ 30 fps, despite the hardware being able to do 4K60. Main question Has anyone encountered cases where 4K60 formats are available in the Camera app but not exposed through AVFoundation, especially on Pro models or multi-camera devices? Could HEVC/HDR capability or multi-camera constraints be preventing certain formats from appearing? Are there known conditions where 4K60 formats are hidden unless specific device configuration is applied? Any guidance on reliably locking 4K60 on iPhone Pro models via AVFoundation would be hugely appreciated.

Hi team, I’m having an issue with my iOS app related to local network communication and connecting to a Wi-Fi speaker. My app works similar to the “4Stream” application. The speaker and the mobile device must be on the same Wi-Fi network so the app can discover and connect to the speaker. What’s happening: When I run the app directly from Xcode in debug mode, everything works perfectly. The speaker gets discovered. The speaker gets connected successfully. The connection flow completes without any problem. But when I upload the same build to TestFlight, the behaviour changes completely. The app gets stuck on the “Connecting…” screen. The speaker is not discovered. But the same code is working fine on Android It never moves forward from that state. So basically: Debug Mode: Speaker is detected and connected properly TestFlight: Stuck at “Connecting…”, speaker does NOT get connected This makes me believe something related to local network access, multicast, Wi-Fi info permissions, or Bonjour discovery is not being applied correctly in the release/TestFlight environment. Below is my current Info.plist and Entitlements file, which already include Local Network Usage, Bonjour services, Location usage for SSID, multicast entitlements, wifi-info, etc. My Info.plist <key>CADisableMinimumFrameDurationOnPhone</key> <true/> <key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key> <string>en</string> <key>CFBundleDisplayName</key> <string>Wanwun</string> <key>CFBundleExecutable</key> <string>$(EXECUTABLE_NAME)</string> <key>CFBundleIdentifier</key> <string>$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER)</string> <key>CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion</key> <string>6.0</string> <key>CFBundleName</key> <string>$(PRODUCT_NAME)</string> <key>CFBundlePackageType</key> <string>APPL</string> <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key> <string>$(MARKETING_VERSION)</string> <key>CFBundleSignature</key> <string>????</string> <key>CFBundleVersion</key> <string>$(CURRENT_PROJECT_VERSION)</string> <key>LSRequiresIPhoneOS</key> <true/> <!-- Allow HTTP to devices on LAN --> <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key> <dict> <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key> <true/> <key>NSExceptionDomains</key> <dict> <key>local</key> <dict> <key>NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key> <true/> <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key> <true/> </dict> <key>localhost</key> <dict> <key>NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads</key> <true/> <key>NSIncludesSubdomains</key> <true/> </dict> </dict> </dict> <!-- Local Network Usage --> <key>NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription</key> <string>This app needs local network access to discover and control your sound system device over Wi-Fi.</string> <!-- Bonjour services for discovery --> <key>NSBonjourServices</key> <array> <string>_http._tcp.</string> <string>_wrtn._tcp.</string> <string>_services._dns-sd._udp.</string> </array> <!-- Location for SSID Permission --> <key>NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription</key> <string>This app requires location access to read the connected Wi-Fi information.</string> <!-- Camera / Photos --> <key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key> <string>This app needs camera access to capture attendance photos.</string> <key>NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription</key> <string>This app saves captured photos to your gallery.</string> <key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key> <string>This app needs access to your gallery to upload existing images.</string> <!-- Bluetooth --> <key>NSBluetoothAlwaysUsageDescription</key> <string>This app uses Bluetooth to discover nearby sound system devices.</string> <key>NSBluetoothPeripheralUsageDescription</key> <string>This app uses Bluetooth to connect with your sound system.</string> <!-- Launch screen --> <key>UILaunchStoryboardName</key> <string>LaunchScreen</string> <!-- Device Capabilities --> <key>UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities</key> <array> <string>arm64</string> </array> <!-- Orientation --> <key>UISupportedInterfaceOrientations</key> <array> <string>UIInterfaceOrientationPortrait</string> <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeLeft</string> <string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeRight</string> </array> <key>UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance</key> <false/> My Entitlements What I need help with: I want to understand why the app behaves correctly in debug mode (where the speaker connects without issues), but the same functionality fails in TestFlight. Is there something additional required for: Local network discovery on TestFlight? Multicast networking? Reading the Wi-Fi SSID? Bonjour, service scanning? Release build / TestFlight network permissions? If any extra entitlement approval, configuration, or specific service type is needed for TestFlight builds, please guide me. Thank you for your help.

macOS Tahoe ships with Ruby 2.6.10 which was End Of Life in April 2022 (https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/branches/). How can I either upgrade it to Ruby 3.4.7 or delete it, so that my mac meets minimum cybersecurity requirements? I use rbenv for more recent versions of Ruby at the moment so don't need any suggestions on how to do add them, I just need rid of the dangerously out of date system Ruby, thanks.

I’m stuck with repeated production crashes in my SwiftUI app and I can’t make sense of the traces on my own. The symbolicated reports show the same pattern: Crash on com.apple.CFNetwork.LoaderQ with EXC_BAD_ACCESS / PAC failure Always deep in CFNetwork, most often in URLConnectionLoader::loadWithWhatToDo(NSURLRequest*, _CFCachedURLResponse const*, long, URLConnectionLoader::WhatToDo) No frames from my code, no sign of AuthManager or tokens. What I’ve tried: Enabled Address Sanitizer, Malloc Scribble, Guard Malloc, Zombies. Set CFNETWORK_DIAGNOSTICS=3 and collected Console logs. Stress-tested the app (rapid typing, filter switching, background/foreground, poor network with Network Link Conditioner). Could not reproduce the crash locally. So far: Logs show unrelated performance faults (I/O on main thread, CLLocationManager delegate), but no obvious CFNetwork misuse. My suspicion is a URLSession lifetime or delegate/auth-challenge race, but I can’t confirm because I can’t trigger it. Since starting this investigation, I also refactored some of my singletons into @State/@ObservedObject dependencies. For example, my app root now wires up AuthManager, BackendService, and AccountManager (where API calls happen using async/await) as @State properties: @State var authManager: AuthManager @State var accountManager: AccountManager @State var backendService: BackendService init() { let authManager = AuthManager() self._authManager = .init(wrappedValue: authManager) let backendService = BackendService(authManager: authManager) self._backendService = .init(wrappedValue: backendService) self._accountManager = .init(wrappedValue: AccountManager(backendService: backendService)) } I don’t know if this refactor is related to the crash, but I am including it to be complete. Apologies that I don’t have a minimized sample project — this issue seems app-wide, and all I have are the crash logs. Request: Given the crash location (URLConnectionLoader::loadWithWhatToDo), can Apple provide guidance on known scenarios or misuses that can lead to this crash? Is there a way to get more actionable diagnostics from CFNetwork beyond CFNETWORK_DIAGNOSTICS to pinpoint whether it’s session lifetime, cached response corruption, or auth/redirect? Can you also confirm whether my dependency setup above could contribute to URLSession or backend lifetime issues? I can’t reliably reproduce the crash, and without Apple’s insight the stack trace is effectively opaque to me. Thanks for your time and help. Happy to send multiple symbolicated crash logs at request. Thanks for any help. PS. Including 2 of many similar crash logs. Can provide more if needed.

After switching our iOS app project from Swift 5 to Swift 6 and publishing an update, we started seeing a large number of crashes in Firebase Crashlytics. The crashes are triggered by NotificationCenter methods (post, addObserver, removeObserver) and show the following error: BUG IN CLIENT OF LIBDISPATCH: Assertion failed: Block was expected to execute on queue [com.apple.main-thread (0x1f9dc1580)] All scopes to related calls are already explicitly marked with @MainActor. This issue never occurred with Swift 5, but appeared immediately after moving to Swift 6. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is there a known solution or workaround? Thanks in advance!

Title Why doesn’t this async function see external changes to an inout Bool in Release builds (but works in Debug)? Body I have a small helper function that waits for a Bool flag to become true with a timeout: public func test(binding value: inout Bool, timeout maximum: Int) async throws { var count = 0 while value == false { count += 1 try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 0_100_000_000) if value == true { return } if count > (maximum * 10) { return } } } I call like this: var isVPNConnected = false adapter.start(tunnelConfiguration: tunnelConfiguration) { [weak self] adapterError in guard let self = self else { return } if let adapterError = adapterError { } else { isVPNConnected = true } completionHandler(adapterError) } try await waitUntilTrue(binding: &isVPNConnected, timeout: 10) What I expect: test should keep looping until flag becomes true (or the timeout is hit). When the second task sets flag = true, the first task should see that change and return. What actually happens: In Debug builds this behaves as expected: when the second task sets flag = true, the loop inside test eventually exits. In Release builds the function often never sees the change and gets stuck until the timeout (or forever, depending on the code). It looks like the while value == false condition is using some cached value and never observes the external write. So my questions are: Is the compiler allowed to assume that value (the inout Bool) does not change inside the loop, even though there are await suspension points and another task is mutating the same variable? Is this behavior officially “undefined” because I’m sharing a plain Bool across tasks without any synchronization (actors / locks / atomics), so the debug build just happens to work? What is the correct / idiomatic way in Swift concurrency to implement this kind of “wait until flag becomes true with timeout” pattern? Should I avoid inout here completely and use some other primitive (e.g. AsyncStream, CheckedContinuation, Actor, ManagedAtomic, etc.)? Is there any way to force the compiler to re-read the Bool from memory each iteration, or is that the wrong way to think about it? Environment (if it matters): Swift: [fill in your Swift version] Xcode: [fill in your Xcode version] Target: iOS / macOS [fill in as needed] Optimization: default Debug vs. Release settings I’d like to understand why Debug vs Release behaves differently here, and what the recommended design is for this kind of async waiting logic in Swift.

var testTwo: Double = 0 testDouble = 80 testTwo = 200 var testThree: Int = 0 testThree = Int(testTwo/testDouble) var testDate: Date = .now var dateComponent = DateComponents() dateComponent.day = testThree var newDate: Date = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: dateComponentwith a thread error , to: testDate)! This code works in a playground. However, when I try to use it in Xcode for my app it fails with the following error: Thread 1: Fatal error: Double value cannot be converted to Int because it is either infinite or NaN I printed the value being converted to Int and it was not NAN or infinite.

"the compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions" ...... it killing me !!!!

Xcode downloaded a crash report for my app that crashed when trying to insert a String into a Set<String>. Apparently there was an assertion failure ELEMENT_TYPE_OF_SET_VIOLATES_HASHABLE_REQUIREMENTS. I assume that this assertion failure happened because the hash of the new element didn't match the hash of an equal already inserted element, but regardless, I don't understand how inserting a simple string could trigger this assertion. Here is essentially the code that leads to the crash. path is any file system directory, and basePath is a directory higher in the hierarchy, or path itself. var scanErrorPaths = Set<String>() func main() { let path = "/path/to/directory" let basePath = "/path" let fileDescriptor = open(path, O_RDONLY) if fileDescriptor < 0 { if (try? URL(fileURLWithPath: path, isDirectory: false).checkResourceIsReachable()) == true { scanErrorPaths.insert(path.relativePath(from: basePath)!) return } } extension String { func relativePath(from basePath: String) -> String? { if basePath == "" { return self } guard let index = range(of: basePath, options: .anchored)?.upperBound else { return nil } return if index == endIndex || basePath == "/" { String(self[index...]) } else if let index = self[index...].range(of: "/", options: .anchored)?.upperBound { String(self[index...]) } else { nil } } } crash.crash

Hello Everyone! I started programming 6 months ago and started Swift / IOS last month. My learning so far has mainly been with Python. I learned a lot of the package ‘SQLAlchemy’, which has very ‘example based’ documentation. If I wanted to learn how to make a many to many relationship, there was a demonstration with code. But going into Swift and Apple packages, I notice most of the documentation is definitions of structures, modifiers, functions, etc. I wanted to make the equivalent of python ‘date times’ in my swift app. I found the section in the documentation “Foundation->Dates & Times”, but I couldn’t figure how to use that in my code. I assume my goal should not be to memorize every Swift and apple functionality by memory to be an app developer. So I would appreciate advice on how to approach this aspect of learning programming.
