I am using StoreKit 2 for my products and noticed that users from Ukraine (for example) receive a wrong Product.displayPrice. The App Store works with USD but shows the local currency UAH. Any chance to display the correct currency (USD)?

I've been seeing a high number of BGTaskScheduler related crashes, all of them coming from iOS 18.4. I've encountered this myself once on launch upon installing my app, but haven't been able to reproduce it since, even after doing multiple relaunches and reinstalls. Crash report attached at the bottom of this post. I am not even able to symbolicate the reports despite having the archive on my MacBook: Does anyone know if this is an iOS 18.4 bug or am I doing something wrong when scheduling the task? Below is my code for scheduling the background task on the view that appears when my app launches: .onChange(of: scenePhase) { newPhase in if newPhase == .active { #if !os(macOS) let request = BGAppRefreshTaskRequest(identifier: "notifications") request.earliestBeginDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .hour, value: 3, to: Date()) do { try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) Logger.notifications.log("Background task scheduled.

Hi there, We have an app targeted for children and we want to use the SkAdNetwork to track installs for campaigns. We don't want to track further in-app events (purchase etc.), just the install event. We added the SDK to our Unity app, listed the network identifiers in the plist file, configured the external campaign according to their instructions, but struggle to see any events for several weeks now. We see the following logs in the app: Registering install attribution pingback. Failed to migrate Install Attribution database schema from 17001 => 17400. SkAdNetwork: No pingbacks found while attempting to register/update. Error setting install attribution pingback registered for app: 1509727806, error: Error Domain=ASDErrorDomain code=1208 How can we debug this further? What does the error mean? Thank you very much! (I hope I posted in the correct forum topic. Apologies if not)

As far as I know, Apple doesn’t allow apps to directly navigate users to the Call Blocking & Identification settings screen. That’s why many apps just show instructions like: "Go to Settings > Phone > Call Blocking & Identification" to enable the app. Apple only officially provides UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString, which takes users to the app's own settings page. But here’s where I’m confused: some Korean apps like Whowho and Adot Phone seem to be able to direct users to the Call Blocking & Identification screen. Whowho: https://apps.apple.com/kr/app/whowho-spam-block-callerid/id1033450260?l=en-GB Adot Phone: I'm wondering how these apps are doing that. Are they using some kind of private API or workaround? Those app are developed from Internet Serivce Provider Company.

Hi everyone, I'm working with Live Activities using the ActivityKit(Activity), and I'm trying to find a way to detect when a user manually dismisses a Live Activity by swiping it away — either from the Lock Screen or the Dynamic Island. Currently, when a Live Activity ends, the activityState changes to .dismissed, which is defined as: /// The Live Activity ended and is no longer visible because a person or the system removed it. case dismissed This doesn’t allow me to determine whether the dismissal was triggered by the user or by the system. Is there any way — either through ActivityState, notifications, or another approach — to distinguish if a Live Activity was manually dismissed by the user vs. ended by the system? Thanks in advance!

No matter what I do, I keep getting the error Thread 1: EXC_BREAKPOINT (code=1, subcode=0x2648fc364) for the line: transactions = try modelContext.fetch(descriptor) in the code below. My app opens, but freezes on the home page and I can't click anything. I am not sure how to fix initialization issues. I am creating a financial assistant app that connects plaid and opoenai api. var descriptor = FetchDescriptor<ExpenseTransaction>() descriptor.sortBy = [SortDescriptor(\.date, order: .reverse)] descriptor.fetchLimit = 200 transactions = try modelContext.fetch(descriptor) print("Successfully loaded \(transactions.count) transactions") } catch { print("Error in loadLocalTransactions: \(error)") transactions = [] } }

My personal project is a bit further along however after not being able to get this to work in my app I fell back to a much simpler/proven implementation out there. There is this project on GitHub with a guide that implements a barebones app extension with packet tunneling. I figure this can give us common ground. After changing the bundle and group identifiers to all end with -Caleb and or match up I tried running the app. The app extension does not work whatsoever and seemingly for reasons that are similar to my personal project. If I pull up the console and filter for the subsystem (com.github.kean.vpn-client-caleb.vpn-tunnel) I see the following. First you see installd installing it 0x16ba5f000 -[MIUninstaller _uninstallBundleWithIdentity:linkedToChildren:waitForDeletion:uninstallReason:temporaryReference:deleteDataContainers:wasLastReference:error:]: Destroying container com.github.kean.vpn-client-caleb.vpn-tunnel with persona 54D15361-A614-4E0D-931A-0953CDB50CE8 at /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/PluginKitPlugin/2D0AE485-BB56-4E3E-B59E-48424CD4FD65 And then installd says this (No idea what it means) 0x16b9d3000 -[MIInstallationJournalEntry _refreshUUIDForContainer:withError:]: Data container for com.github.kean.vpn-client-caleb.vpn-tunnel is now at /private/var/mobile/Containers/Data/PluginKitPlugin/2D0AE485-BB56-4E3E-B59E-48424CD4FD65 Concerningly runningboardd seems to immediately try and stop it?

No crash no nothing. I am stumped. Any idea what might be going wrong for me here? Has something about the way app extensions or sandbox rules work changed in later OSes?

Hi all, I’m building an iOS app where I need to determine user picked files or folders using UIDocumentPickerViewController, whether the selected item is synced or managed by a cloud storage provider such as: Google Drive iCloud Drive OneDrive Dropbox or any third-party File Provider extension My intent is to detect this and optionally warn the user that the item may be subject to syncing behavior. So far, I’ve tried a few different approaches: Extended Attributes (listxattr / getxattr) While this does not give reliable outcome. Heuristically search for keywords like 'Drive', 'GoogleDrive' etc But this is also not reliable. Question Is there any possible reliable and documented way to detect programmatically if a file/folder is cloud-synced or managed by a File Provider from within a regular iOS app (not an extension), especially for: Google Drive OneDrive Dropbox iCloud Other third-party providers? Also, is there any recommended fallback strategy for iOS versions prior to 17 where NSFileProviderManager may have limitations? Any input from Apple engineers or those who have tackled this would be hugely appreciated! Thanks in advance 🙌

I have a custom intent. When my app is unable to complete the resolution of a parameter within the app extension, I need to be able to continue within the app. I am unable to figure out what the correct objective C syntax is to enable the execution to continue with the app. Here is what I have tried: completion([[PickWoodIntentResponse init] initWithCode:PickWoodIntentResponseCodeContinueInApp userActivity:nil]); This results in the following error: Implicit conversion from enumeration type 'enum PickWoodIntentResponseCode' to different enumeration type 'INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode' (aka 'enum INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode') I have no idea why it is referring to the enum type of 'INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode' which is unrelated to my app. I have also tried: PickWoodIntentResponse *response = [[PickWoodIntentResponse init] initWithCode:PickWoodIntentResponseCodeContinueInApp userActivity:nil]; completion(response); but that results in 2 errors: Implicit conversion from enumeration type 'enum PickWoodIntentResponseCode' to different enumeration type 'INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode' (aka 'enum INAnswerCallIntentResponseCode') and Incompatible pointer types passing 'PickWoodIntentResponse *' to parameter of type 'INStringResolutionResult *' The relevant autogenerated code provided to me with the creation of my intent is as follows: @class PickWoodIntentResponse; @protocol PickWoodIntentHandling <NSObject> - (void)resolveVarietyForPickWood:(PickWoodIntent *)intent withCompletion:(void (^)(INStringResolutionResult *resolutionResult))completion NS_SWIFT_NAME(resolveVariety(for:with:)) API_AVAILABLE(ios(13.0), macos(11.0), watchos(6.0)); @end typedef NS_ENUM(NSInteger, PickWoodIntentResponseCode) { PickWoodIntentResponseCodeUnspecified = 0, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeReady, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeContinueInApp, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeInProgress, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeSuccess, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeFailure, PickWoodIntentResponseCodeFailureRequiringAppLaunch } @interface PickWoodIntentResponse : INIntentResponse - (instancetype)init NS_UNAVAILABLE; - (instancetype)initWithCode:(PickWoodIntentResponseCode)code userActivity:(nullable NSUserActivity *)userActivity NS_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER; @property (readonly, NS_NONATOMIC_IOSONLY) PickWoodIntentResponseCode code; @end Am I overlooking something? What would be the proper syntax to have within the completion block to satisfy the compiler?

I'm working on a DriverKit driver. I have it running on macOS, including a very simple client app written in SwiftUI. Everything is working fine there. I've added iPadOS as a destination for the app as demonstrated in the WWDC video on DriverKit for iPadOS. The app builds and runs on my iPad, as expected (after a little work to conditionalize out my use of SystemExtensions.framework for installation on macOS). However, after installing and running the app on an iPad, the driver does not show up in Settings->General, nor in the app-specific settings pane triggered by the inclusion of a settings bundle in the app. I've confirmed that the dext is indeed being included in the app bundle when built for iPadOS (in MyApp.app/SystemExtensions/com.me.MyApp.MyDriver.dext). I also can see in the build log that there's a validation step for the dext, and that seems to be succeeding. I don't know why the app isn't being discovered -- or in any case surfaced to the user -- when the app is installed on the iPad. Has anyone faced this problem and solved it? Are there ways to troubleshoot installation/discovery of an embedded DriverKit extensions on iOS? Unlike on macOS, I don't really see any relevant console messages.

Is there any resource which describes this type of errors? I was integrating SKADNetwork view through Ad attribution and everything from the source app side is done and this error appears after the target app is installed and opened. Here is the full error Error setting install attribution pingback registered for app: <APP ID>, error: Error Domain=ASDErrorDomain Code=1209 "SKAdNetwork: Could not set registered for pingback that does not exist." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=SKAdNetwork: Could not set registered for pingback that does not exist.}, result: 0 I cannot find any resource on the internet which gives any info about this ASDErrors. If anyone can help, you would be doing me a solid, Thanks in advance.

I have simple non-consumable IAPs set up for an app on macOS. Testing in development with a local .storekit configuration file, everything works as expected. Testing in development with a remote Sandbox, everything also seems to work fine. Product names and prices fetch correctly, I am able to make purchases with a Sandbox account (both US and UK). Once I upload a build into TestFlight, IAPs no longer work. The tester would download the Beta app from TestFlight. They open a license manager and can see all the product names, descriptions and prices are pulled from Apple servers correctly (with the correct local currency as well!). So far so good. When trying to purchase any of the IAP, the following error appears: This is TestFlight so testers are using their real Apple ID. My understanding is that they should continue using their production credentials and a TestFlight Sandbox would be configured behind the scenes automatically. This error always says the users cannot purchase from a US store and must switch to [whatever user’s actual store location is] store. For example, my account is based in the UK, has got a UK billing address and a UK payment method, and the error tells me to switch to the UK store. People in Canada get a similar error - you must switch from the US store to Canadian. The error makes no sense, the account is already in the desired country. Clicking on the “Change Store” button opens the App Store app and displays another error: “Cannot Connect to App Store”. Clicking Retry just results in this errors showing again and again. Clicking OK takes us back to the failed IAP purchase and the final error message appears: “Purchase Error - Unable to Complete Request”. Things I’ve done / checked: IAPs are configured in App Store Connect and available for all regions prices are set for all regions in App Store Connect IAP name and description localisation in English (UK) IAP status is Ready to Submit, I don’t think I can go past that unless I make a production release (which I can’t until we fix the problem) IAP capabilities added in xcode the problem is not account, machine, or location dependent - every beta tester testing my app on TestFlight has the same issue, they each use a different account and have accounts in different countries double checked the App Store account location in the App Store settings - it is definitely matching the store this error is asking to switch to application exits at startup with error 173 if app receipt cannot be found - this one was suggested by the review team, I could not really find any documentation for it review team also suggested I should add com.apple.security.network.client to enable IAP connectivity. I did add that to one of the builds and it did not help. I am not really convinced this is necessary Any suggestions on what to check and what to try? I have run out of ideas.

Hey there! I’ve got some exciting news about Apple’s virtio_net_hdr implementation on macOS 15.4. It’s making communication a lot smoother, with a noticeable improvement! Now, I’d love to hear your thoughts on a couple of things. First, how do you think we can validate the populated values? And secondly, should we consider reusing populated values for the other endpoint, like the ‘flags’ field? Your insights would be invaluable!

Firstly, I'm completely new to native Swift/iOS Development so apologies if this is a simple question that I'm seemingly misunderstanding. I have an app which has the Multicast Networking entitlement and works fine on my own iPhone, however it only has one interface when I list them (en0) The multicast networking, however, fails entirely on another test iPhone but this also appears to have one or more 'ipsecX' interfaces both with the IP 192.0.0.6 - I'm guessing but I wonder if this is related to a connection to Apple Watch as I've noticed two devices that have these additional interfaces, and both of them are connected to Apple Watch (with no VPNs configured) and that's the only thing that differentiates them from my own iPhone. I can reproduce the symptoms on my own iPhone by connecting to a VPN which creates a utunX interface (but in my case disconnecting from the VPN removes this interface and it works as expected) I expect a solution would be to bind my Multicast Group to the WiFi IP but I've tried a few things without success; Setting params.requiredInterfaceType = .wifi Looping through each interface to try and 'find' en0 and bind this way; let queue = DispatchQueue(label: "En0MonitorQueue") monitor.pathUpdateHandler = { [weak self] path in // Find the en0 interface if let en0 = path.availableInterfaces.first(where: { $0.name == "en0" }) { monitor.cancel() // Stop monitoring once found let params = NWParameters.udp params.allowLocalEndpointReuse = true params.requiredInterface = en0 guard let multicast = try? NWMulticastGroup(for: [ .hostPort( host: NWEndpoint.Host(self?.settings.multicastIP ?? "224.224.0.77"), port: NWEndpoint.Port(rawValue: UInt16(self?.settings.multicastPort ?? 23019)) ) ]) else { print("Failed to Start Multicast Group") return } let group = NWConnectionGroup(with: multicast, using: params) // previous multicast stuff is here } else { print("en0 interface not found, waiting...") } } monitor.start(queue: queue) Neither seems to work. I feel I must be missing something simple, because it should not be the case that simply enabling a VPN (or having another interface created by something else) breaks Multicast on en0/WiFi. That said, I also don't want to limit the user to en0 as they may wish to use Ethernet interfaces, but for now it would be good to make it work to confirm this is the problem.

iOS 18.4 introduced some requirements on the Key Usage of 802.1x server certificates, as described here. https://support.apple.com/en-us/121158 When using TLS_ECDHE_RSA or TLS_DHE_RSA cipher suites, 802.1X server certificates containing a Key Usage extension must have Digital Signature key usage set. When using the TLS_RSA cipher suite, 802.1X server certificates containing a Key Usage extension must have Key Encipherment key usage set. It reads like the change is supposed to affect 802.1x only. However, we have found out that the new restrictions are actually imposed on all TLS connections using the Network framework, including in Safari. Unlike other certificate errors which can be either ignored by users (as in Safari) or by code (via sec_protocol_options_set_verify_block), these new ones can't. Even if passing completion(true) in the TLS verification block, the connection still ends up in waiting state with error -9830: illegal parameter. I understand that these requirements are valid ones but as a generic TLS library I also expect that Network framework could at least allow overriding the behavior. The current treatment is not consistent with those on other certificate errors. Since I can't upload certificates, here is how to reproduce a certificate that fails. Create a OpenSSL config file test.cnf [ req ] default_bits = 2048 distinguished_name = dn x509_extensions = v3_ca prompt = no [ dn ] CN = example.com [ v3_ca ] subjectKeyIdentifier = hash authorityKeyIdentifier = keyid:always,issuer basicConstraints = CA:TRUE keyUsage = critical, keyCertSign, cRLSign Generate certificate and private key openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -keyout key.pem -out cert.pem -days 365 -config test.cnf And here is the client code to test. // Target server and port let host = NWEndpoint.Host("example.com") let port = NWEndpoint.Port("443")! // Configure insecure TLS options let tlsOptions = NWProtocolTLS.Options() sec_protocol_options_set_verify_block(tlsOptions.securityProtocolOptions, { _, _, completion in // Always trust completion(true) }, DispatchQueue.global()) let params = NWParameters(tls: tlsOptions) let connection = NWConnection(host: .init(host), port: .init(rawValue: port)!, using: params) connection.stateUpdateHandler = { newState in switch newState { case .ready: print("TLS connection established") case .failed(let error): print("Connection failed: \(error)") case .cancelled: print("Connection canceled") case .preparing: print("Connection preparing") case .waiting(let error): print("Connection waiting: \(error)") case .setup: print("Connection setup") default: break } } connection.start(queue: .global()) Output Connection preparing Connection waiting: -9830: illegal parameter Previously reported as FB17099740

Hello. Background: Most learning resources are for leaning Swift/Objective-C. I'm pretty sure I need something different. I'm already an experienced software engineer, just new to iOS/MacOS development. My problem is not learning the language, but rather how to learn modern best practices. I cannot find examples for what I'm looking for. So much seems to be sparse on implementation details, out of date, or both. I'm trying to write an app that has a few distinct parts. The UI portion will be mostly a menu bar app, which I am not having a problem discovering resources for how to implement. The app will also have a daemon and utilize network extensions. This is where I am having trouble. What's the current best practices on how to write and launch a daemon? Should the daemon be its own library/package which is them imported into the main app? If so, which Xcode template do I use for this? Are there any Hello World! examples of this? What is the best way for a UI app to communicate with a daemon? Are there any Hello World! repositories on how to implement network extensions? Should this be done in the main UI app, or in a separate library/package? TIA
