I have an app that uses CKShare to allow users to share CloudKit data with other users. With the first build of the iOS 26, I'm seeing a few issues: I'm not able to add myself as a participant anymore when I have the link to a document. Some participants names no longer show up in the app. Looking at the release notes for iOS & iPadOS 26 Beta, there is a CloudKit section with two bullets: CloudKit sharing URLs do not launch third-party apps. (151778655) The request access APIs, such as CKShareRequestAccessOperation, are available in the SDK but are currently nonfunctional. (151878020) It sounds like the first issue is addressed by the first bullet, although the error message makes me wonder if I need to make changes to my iCloud account permissions or something in order to open it. It works fine in iOS 18.5. This is the error I get when I try to open a link to a shared document (I blocked out my email address, which is what was in quotes): As far as the second issue, I am really confused about what is going on. Some names still show up, while others do not. I can't find a pattern, and the missing users are not on the iOS 26 beta. The release notes mention CKShareRequestAccessOperation being nonfunctional, which is new in the beta and has some minor documentation, but I can't find information about how it's supposed to be used yet. In previous years there have been WWDC sessions about what's new in CloudKit, but I haven't found anything that talks about these changes to document sharing. Is there a guide or session somewhere that I'm missing? Does anyone know what's going on with these changes to CloudKit?

ICEcard app is "Emergency as a Service" platform.

We would be creating N NWListener objects and M NWConnection objects in our process' communication subsystem to create server sockets, accepted client sockets on server and client sockets on clients. Both NWConnection and NWListener rely on DispatchQueue to deliver state changes, incoming connections, send/recv completions etc. What DispatchQueues should I use and why? Global Concurrent Dispatch Queue (and which QoS?) for all NWConnection and NWListener One custom concurrent queue (which QoS?) for all NWConnection and NWListener? (Does that anyways get targetted to one of the global queues?) One custom concurrent queue per NWConnection and NWListener though all targetted to Global Concurrent Dispatch Queue (and which QoS?)? One custom concurrent queue per NWConnection and NWListener though all targetted to single target custom concurrent queue? For every option above, how am I impacted in terms of parallelism, concurrency, throughput & latency and how is overall system impacted (with other processes also running)? Seperate questions (sorry for the digression): Are global concurrent queues specific to a process or shared across all processes on a device? Can I safely use setSpecific on global dispatch queues in our app?

When I tap on one of the buttons in the ShieldAction extension I want to close the shield and open the parent app instead of the shielded app. Is there any way of doing this using the Screen Time API? class ShieldActionExtension: ShieldActionDelegate {      override func handle(action: ShieldAction, for application: ApplicationToken, completionHandler: @escaping (ShieldActionResponse) -> Void) {     // Handle the action as needed.           let store = ManagedSettingsStore()               switch action {     case .primaryButtonPressed:       //TODO - open parent app       completionHandler(.defer)     case .secondaryButtonPressed:       //remove shield       store.shield.applications?.remove(application)       completionHandler(.defer)         @unknown default:       fatalError()     }   }   }

Hi community. It's my first time trying WatchConnectivity kit. When I attempt to send ApplicationContext from phone, my debug print indicates that updateApplicationContext is working correctly. However, I'm having trouble receiving it form the paired watch simulator as nothing is shown on that end. Here are the code for the Phone Extension:     func sendDataToWatch(data: String) {         state.append(data)         do {             NSLog("sent by phone")             try WCSession.default.updateApplicationContext(["currentstate": state])         }         catch {             print(error)         }     } Here are the code for watch: func session(_ session: WCSession, didReceiveApplicationContext applicationContext: [String: Any]) {         print("Hello")         if let getState = applicationContext["currentstate"] as? [String]{             print("\(getState)")             self.state = getState[0]         }     } Any suggestion would be appreciated!

The online documentation for fs_snapshot_create, which is on a website which apparently I'm not allowed to link to on this forum, mentions that some entitlement is necessary, but doesn't specify which one. Searching online I found someone mentioning com.apple.developer.vfs.snapshot, but when adding this to my entitlement file and building my Xcode project, I get the error Provisioning profile "Mac Team Provisioning Profile: com.example.myApp" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.vfs.snapshot entitlement. Searching some more online, I found someone mentioning that one has to request this entitlement from DTS. Is this true? I couldn't find any official documentation. I actually want to make a snapshot of a user-selected directory so that my app can sync it to another volume while avoiding that the user makes changes during the sync process that would make the copy inconsistent. Would fs_snapshot_create be faster than traversing the chosen directory and creating clones of each nested file with filecopy and the flag COPYFILE_CLONE? Although I have the impression that only fs_snapshot_create could make a truly consistent snapshot.

Hello! I am attempting to add Subscriptions to an App that Is already published on the App Store. I cannot get Xcode to actually sync what is in my App Store Connect. When adding the Storekit configuration file, I go through the automatic linking process and select the proper bundleID. The configuration file says 'Synced @ [CurrentTime]' however there are no subscriptions listed in there. I have attempted deleting the file several times, creating a new subscription group. With no success. Do I need to publish the subscriptions without the features first? Upon attempting to write the supporting code that will enable these features within the app, I cannot get Xcode to identify that I have these subscriptions. I have also tried pushing these to TestFlight, still with no success. Thank you.

I am encountering an issue with my application, BloxOneEndpoint.pkg, which includes two services: rc_service_infoblox – Runs as the root user. Controller Application – Runs as a normal user. Although a thread within rc_service_infoblox is running fine and performing its expected tasks, I notice that the service appears as "Not Responding" in Activity Monitor. Despite normal functionality, this status is concerning, as it may indicate some issue to customer. I would appreciate any insights into why this might be happening and how to resolve it. Is there a specific API or mechanism I should use to ensure the service remains in a "Running" state in Activity Monitor? Thank you for your guidance.

Hi all, We are migrating a SCSI HBA driver from KEXT to DriverKit (DEXT), with our DEXT inheriting from IOUserSCSIParallelInterfaceController. We've encountered a data corruption issue that is reliably reproducible under specific conditions and are hoping for some assistance from the community. Hardware and Driver Configuration: Controller: LSI 3108 DEXT Configuration: We are reporting our hardware limitations to the framework via the UserReportHBAConstraints function, with the following key settings: // UserReportHBAConstraints... addConstraint(kIOMaximumSegmentAddressableBitCountKey, 0x20); // 32-bit addConstraint(kIOMaximumSegmentCountWriteKey, 129); addConstraint(kIOMaximumByteCountWriteKey, 0x80000); // 512KB Observed Behavior: Direct I/O vs. Buffered I/O We've observed that the I/O behavior differs drastically depending on whether it goes through the system file cache: 1. Direct I/O (Bypassing System Cache) -> 100% Successful When we use fio with the direct=1 flag, our read/write and data verification tests pass perfectly for all file sizes, including 20GB+. 2. Buffered I/O (Using System Cache) -> 100% Failure at >128MB Whether we use the standard cp command or fio with the direct=1 option removed to simulate buffered I/O, we observe the exact same, clear failure threshold: Test Results: File sizes ≤ 128MB: Success. Data checksums match perfectly. File sizes ≥ 256MB: Failure. Checksums do not match, and the destination file is corrupted. Evidence of failure reproduced with fio (buffered_integrity_test.fio, with direct=1 removed): fio --size=128M buffered_integrity_test.fio -> Test Succeeded (err=0). fio --size=256M buffered_integrity_test.fio -> Test Failed (err=92), reporting the following error, which proves a data mismatch during the verification phase: verify: bad header ... at file ... offset 1048576, length 1048576 fio: ... error=Illegal byte sequence Our Analysis and Hypothesis The phenomenon of "Direct I/O succeeding while Buffered I/O fails" suggests the problem may be related to the cache synchronization mechanism at the end of the I/O process: Our UserProcessParallelTask_Impl function correctly handles READ and WRITE commands. When cp or fio (buffered) runs, the WRITE commands are successfully written to the LSI 3108 controller's onboard DRAM cache, and success is reported up the stack. At the end of the operation, to ensure data is flushed to disk, the macOS file system issues an fsync, which is ultimately translated into a SYNCHRONIZE CACHE SCSI command (Opcode 0x35 or 0x91) and sent to our UserProcessParallelTask_Impl. We hypothesize that our code may not be correctly identifying or handling this SYNCHRONIZE CACHE opcode. It might be reporting "success" up the stack without actually commanding the hardware to flush its cache to the physical disk. The OS receives this "success" status and assumes the operation is safely complete. In reality, however, the last batch of data remains only in the controller's volatile DRAM cache and is eventually lost. This results in an incomplete or incorrect file tail, and while the file size may be correct, the data checksum will inevitably fail. Summary Our DEXT driver performs correctly when handling Direct I/O but consistently fails with data corruption when handling Buffered I/O for files larger than 128MB. We can reliably reproduce this issue using fio with the direct=1 option removed. The root cause is very likely the improper handling of the SYNCHRONIZE CACHE command within our UserProcessParallelTask. P.S. This issue did not exist in the original KEXT version of the driver. We would appreciate any advice or guidance on this issue. Thank you.

In my app the user can select a source folder to be synced with a destination folder. The sync can also happen in response to a change in the source folder detected with FSEventStreamCreate. If the user unzips an archive in the source folder and the sync process begins before the unzip operation has completed, the sync can fail because of a "Permission denied" error. I assume this is related to the posix permissions of the extracted folder being 420 during the unzip operation and (in my case) 511 afterwards. Is there a way to detect than an unzip operation is in progress and wait until it has completed? I thought that using NSFileCoordinator would solve this issue, but unfortunately it's not the case. Since an unzip operation can last any amount of time, it's not ideal to just delay a sync by a fixed number of seconds and let the user deal with any error if the unzip operation takes longer. let openPanel = NSOpenPanel() openPanel.canChooseDirectories = true if openPanel.runModal() == .cancel { return } let url = openPanel.urls[0].appendingPathComponent("extracted", isDirectory: false) var error: NSError? NSFileCoordinator(filePresenter: nil).coordinate(readingItemAt: url, error: &error) { url in do { print(try FileManager.default.attributesOfItem(atPath: url.path).sorted(by: { $0.key.rawValue < $1.key.rawValue }).map({ ($0.key.rawValue, $0.value) })) try FileManager.default.contentsOfDirectory(at: url, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil) } catch { print(error) } } if let error = error { print("file coordinator error:", error) }

Background Android phones supporting Wi-Fi Aware 4.0 should be able to connect with iPhones (iOS 26). For testing, we selected two Samsung S25 devices, which support Wi-Fi Aware 4.0. Issues we are facing Android as Publisher, iOS as Subscriber.iOS cannot discover the service. Log shows: Discovery: Dropping event, 02:14:60:76:a6:0f missing DCEA attribute. iOS as Publisher, Android as Subscriber,Android can discover the service.However, the PIN code is not displayed on iOS. From the packet capture, the publish packet does not contain the DCEA field. However, Android-to-Android devices can still pair normally, and the subsequent PASN packets include the DCEA field. It seems that the Wi-Fi Alliance only requires the DCEA to be present in the PASN packets. iOS cannot discover Android devices or complete pairing — is this caused by the DCEA field, or by other reasons?

Background: We are developing a cross-platform mobile application that communicates with a custom NFC-enabled hardware device. The hardware expects ISO7816-style APDU commands for data exchange and functions correctly with Android using the IsoDep protocol. Observed Issue on iOS: On iOS, the tag is only detectable via NFCNdefReaderSession, which provides access to INFCNdefTag. Attempting to use NFCTagReaderSession with NFCPollingOption.Iso14443 (which is required for APDU communication) results in no tag detection. As a result, the tag is inaccessible for APDU-based communication on iOS. Since NFCNdefReaderSession does not support APDU, we are unable to establish the required command channel. Constraints: The hardware firmware cannot be changed to support NDEF-based command interpretation. The device expects raw ISO-DEP APDU commands (i.e., Class-Instruction-Param1-Param2-Data-Le). Impact: The lack of ISO7816 tag detection on iOS prevents the app from sending APDU commands, resulting in a platform-specific feature limitation. Functionality that relies on secure, structured APDU communication is unavailable to iOS users, even though it works seamlessly on Android.

We are trying to extend our app with Push To Talk functionality by integrating the Push To Talk framework. We are extensively testing what happens if the app is running in the foreground, in the background or not running at all. When the app is in the foreground, and the user has joined a channel we maintain an open connection to our server. When a remote participant starts streaming audio, we immediately call setActiveRemoteParticipant on our PTChannelManager instance. The PTT system will than call our delegate's channelManager:didActivate audioSession method and we can successfully play the incoming audio. When the app is not running at all, there is of course no active connection initially. When another participant starts talking we send a push notification. The PTT system will start our app in the background, call the incomingPushResult method on our delegate, after returning the remote participant the PTT framework will then call the channelmanager:didJoin delegate method which we will use to re-establish the server connection, the PTT framework then calls our channelManager:didActivate audioSession delegate method and we can then successfully play audio. Now the problem. When the application was initially in the foreground and has an established server connection, we initially keep the server connection active when the app enters the background state, until a certain timeout or the system decides our app needs to be killed / removed from memory. This allows us to finish an incoming audio stream, quickly react on incoming responses etc. When we then receive an incoming audio stream after a certain delay (for example 5 seconds) we call the channelManager.setRemoteParticipant method (using try await syntax). This finishes successfully, without any error, however the channelManager:didActivate audioSession delegate method is never called. Manually setting up an audio session is not allowed either and returns an error. Our current workaround for this issue is to disconnect the server connection as soon as the app goes into the background. This will make sure our server sends a push notification, which is successful in activating the audio session after which we can play audio. However, this means we need to re-establish the connection which will introduce an unnecessary delay before we can start playback (and currently means we loose some audio). This also means we need to do extra checks when going to the background to make sure there is no active incoming stream. After each incoming stream we have to check again if we are in the background and disconnect immediately to make sure we get a push notification next time. This can of course also lead to race conditions in an active conversation where we might need to disconnect between incoming streams and if we don't do this in time we might never get an activated audio session. Now this might be by design, as Apple might not want us to keep the server connection active when the application enters the background state. But if that's the case I would expect the channelManager.setRemoteParticipant method to throw an error, but it doesn't. It returns successfully after which we would expect the audio session to get activated as well. So maybe we are not setting the capabilities of our project correctly (we might need other background permissions as well, although we already experimented with that), or we need to do something else to make this work?

Hi all, I have set up a trivial test project to try Apple-hosted background assets following the instructions in the three articles at https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/backgroundassets. When I run the local mock server with xcrun ba-serve and set the URL override in Settings as described in the "Testing asset packs locally" article, I am able to download a test pack on my iOS devices. On the Mac that I use to run the mock server, however, the same call to AssetPackManager.shared.assetPack(withID: "TestAssetPack") that works on iOS always reports The asset pack with the ID “TestAssetPack” couldn’t be looked up: No asset pack with the ID “TestAssetPack” was found. even when not running the mock server, which led me to believe that it may not be hitting it at all. In fact, the macOS app will download asset packs uploaded to App Store Connect even when running the local server and setting the xcrun ba-serve url-override to the exact same string as in Settings on iOS. My initial suspicion was that something is wrong with the URL override, so I have tried all combinations of the Mac's hostname, IP address or "localhost" (with the corresponding SSL certificates) with and without port 443, always prefixing with "https://" for the url-override. All the same. Does anyone have an idea what may be the issue here? My asset pack has the following manifest: { "assetPackID": "TestAssetPack", "downloadPolicy": { "onDemand": {} }, "fileSelectors": [ { "file": "TestAsset.txt" } ], "platforms": [ "iOS", "macOS" ] } I am running v26.1 for macOS, iOS & Xcode. Edit: Just to be clear, my assumption here is that the URL overrides (in Settings on iOS or via ba-serve on macOS) is what should cause the app to hit the mock server. Is that correct or am I missing something?

Security scoped bookmarks that were created before updating to macOS 14.7.5 cannot be resolved anymore after updating to macOS 14.7.5. Reproduction: Sandboxed app on macOS version 14.7.4 Create and store a security scoped bookmark to a user selected folder: let url: URL = <user selected url from NSOpenPanel> let data = try url.bookmarkData(options: [.withSecurityScope], includingResourceValuesForKeys: nil, relativeTo: nil) <persistently store data> Update to macOS 14.7.5 Resolve the previously stored bookmark: let data: Data = <restore data from persistent storage> var stale: Bool = true let url = try URL(resolvingBookmarkData: data, options: [.withSecurityScope], relativeTo: nil, bookmarkDataIsStale: &stale) Expected: The bookmark is resolved correctly and the resulting url can be used to access the folder/file in the sandboxed app after starting access. Observed: URL(resolvingBookmarkData:) throws an error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=259 "The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format." New security scoped bookmarks created on macOS 14.5.7 can be resolved without issue. The same appears to happen with macOS 13.7.5. Entitlements: com.apple.security.app-sandbox com.apple.security.files.bookmarks.app-scope com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write This is very disruptive, as it appears that Sandboxed apps cannot access any previously stored bookmarks anymore. Particularly after the recent ScopedBookmarkAgent issues in 14.7.1 and 15.0, which were resolved in 14.7.3/15.1 respectively: https://aninterestingwebsite.com/forums/thread/764435

Hello everyone, We are migrating our KEXT for a Thunderbolt storage device to a DEXT based on IOUserSCSIParallelInterfaceController. We've run into a fundamental issue where the driver's behavior splits based on the I/O source: high-level I/O from the file system (e.g., Finder, cp) is mostly functional (with a minor ls -al sorting issue for Traditional Chinese filenames), while low-level I/O directly to the block device (e.g., diskutil) fails or acts unreliably. Basic read/write with dd appears to be mostly functional. We suspect that our DEXT is failing to correctly register its full device "personality" with the I/O Kit framework, unlike its KEXT counterpart. As a result, low-level I/O requests with special attributes (like cache synchronization) sent by diskutil are not being handled correctly by the IOUserSCSIParallelInterfaceController framework of our DEXT. Actions Performed & Relevant Logs 1. Discrepancy: diskutil info Shows Different Device Identities for DEXT vs. KEXT For the exact same hardware, the KEXT and DEXT are identified by the system as two different protocols. KEXT Environment: Device Identifier: disk5 Protocol: Fibre Channel Interface ... Disk Size: 66.0 TB Device Block Size: 512 Bytes DEXT Environment: Device Identifier: disk5 Protocol: SCSI SCSI Domain ID: 2 SCSI Target ID: 0 ... Disk Size: 66.0 TB Device Block Size: 512 Bytes 2. Divergent I/O Behavior: Partial Success with Finder/cp vs. Failure with diskutil High-Level I/O (Partially Successful): In the DEXT environment, if we operate on an existing volume (e.g., /Volumes/MyVolume), file copy operations using Finder or cp succeed. Furthermore, the logs we've placed in our single I/O entry point, UserProcessParallelTask_Impl, are triggered. Side Effect: However, running ls -al on such a volume shows an incorrect sorting order for files with Traditional Chinese names (they appear before . and ..). Low-Level I/O (Contradictory Behavior): In the DEXT environment, when we operate directly on the raw block device (/dev/disk5): diskutil partitionDisk ... -> Fails 100% of the time with the error: Error: -69825: Wiping volume data to prevent future accidental probing failed. dd command -> Basic read/write operations appear to work correctly (a write can be immediately followed by a read within the same DEXT session, and the data is correct). 3. Evidence of Cache Synchronization Failure (Non-deterministic Behavior) The success of the dd command is not deterministic. Cross-environment tests prove that its write operations are unreliable: First Test: In the DEXT environment, write a file with random data to /dev/disk5 using dd. Reboot into the KEXT environment. Read the data back from /dev/disk5 using dd. The result is a file filled with all zeros. Conclusion: The write operation only went to the hardware cache, and the data was lost upon reboot. Second Test: In the DEXT environment, write the same random file to /dev/disk5 using dd. Key Variable: Immediately after, still within the DEXT environment, read the data back once for verification. The content is correct! Reboot into the KEXT environment. Read the data back from /dev/disk5. This time, the content is correct! Conclusion: The additional read operation in the second test unintentionally triggered a hardware cache flush. This proves that the dd (in our DEXT) write operation by itself does not guarantee synchronization, making its behavior unreliable. Our Problem Based on the observations above, we have the conclusion: High-Level Path (triggered by Finder/cp): When an I/O request originates from the high-level file system, the framework seems to enter a fully-featured mode. In this mode, all SCSI commands, including READ/WRITE, INQUIRY, and SYNCHRONIZE CACHE, are correctly packaged and dispatched to our UserProcessParallelTask_Impl entry point. Therefore, Finder operations are mostly functional. Low-Level Path (triggered by dd/diskutil): When an I/O request originates from the low-level raw block device layer: The most basic READ/WRITE commands can be dispatched (which is why dd appears to work). However, critical management commands, such as INQUIRY and SYNCHRONIZE CACHE, are not being correctly dispatched or handled. This leads to the incorrect device identification in diskutil info and the failure of diskutil partitionDisk due to its inability to confirm cache synchronization. We would greatly appreciate any guidance, suggestions, or insights on how to resolve this discrepancy. Specifically, what is the recommended approach within DriverKit to ensure that a DEXT based on IOUserSCSIParallelInterfaceController can properly declare its capabilities and handle both high-level and low-level I/O requests uniformly? Thank you. Charles

My app is a VoIP softphone for Mac that allows people to make phone calls to a regular phone numbers. The app exists since before Mac App Store. The app declares itself to the system as capable of handling tel: URLs. Until now, people could change the default handler for tel URLs in FaceTime settings (Default for calls). In macOS Tahoe 26, this doesn't seem to be possible any more. That option is gone from the FaceTime settings. Is it completely gone or has it been moved somewhere else? If there is no UI control for this any more, is it possible to change it programmatically?

We have a that relies on accurate GPS location but we’ve noticed that every now and then the location ‘jumps’ a few hundred meters to a different location but reports horizonal accuracy less than 10m. we think the device is picking up a rough location from a local WiFi rather than internal gps sensors. can we a) disable WiFi location Updates? b) identify WiFi location Updates? thank You
