Overview

It seems to be that the functionality of the method setViewController:forColumn: in the column-style layout of a UISplitViewController has changed. iOS 18: setViewController:forColumn: pushes a new view controller onto the UINavigationController if it existed before the call. iOS 26: setViewController:forColumn: sets or replaces the view controller with a new view controller as a root of a new UINavigationController. My questions: what is the intended behavior? I did not find any documentation about a change. how do I replace in iOS 18 the old view controller with the new view controller passed to setViewController:forColumn:?

Hello, Apple Developer Community! I am attempting to test a user upgrade scenario from an existing monthly subscription to a yearly subscription, applying a Promotional Offer within the sandbox environment. When trying to process the transaction, I consistently receive the following errors from StoreKit: <SKPaymentQueue: 0x...>: Payment completed with error: Error Domain=ASDServerErrorDomain Code=3903 "Unable to Purchase" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Unable to Purchase, client-environment-type=Sandbox, AMSServerErrorCode=3903, storefront-country-code=USA} [...]: Finishing transaction <SKPaymentTransaction: 0x...> with no identifier Additionally, the standard dialog shown to the user displays: Unable to Purchase Contact the developer for more information. [Environment: Sandbox] My Implementation Details: Scenario: The user has an active monthly subscription and attempts to upgrade to a yearly subscription with a Promotional Offer (discount). Signature Generation: I use a custom backend written in Go to generate the signature, nonce, and timestamp. The code follows Apple’s documentation requirements, including proper encoding and formatting. Client (iOS): On the Swift side, I correctly initialize the SKPaymentDiscount and add it to the SKMutablePayment before adding the payment to the queue. The applicationUsername property is used and matches on both server and client sides. What I Have Already Verified and Ruled Out: New Test Accounts: I have created multiple fresh sandbox tester accounts in different regions (USA, Canada, Germany) and used them. Time Synchronization: The time on my server and the test device is synchronized. Parameters: Bundle ID, Product ID, and Offer ID match exactly with the configurations in App Store Connect. App Store Connect Agreements: The Paid Applications Agreement is active. Testing Environment: Testing is conducted on a physical device (iPhone), not a simulator. It seems the issue may not be related to my code but rather a potential glitch within the Apple sandbox environment itself when processing complex upgrade requests with a promotional offer. Has anyone encountered a similar issue when testing Promotional Offers? I would appreciate any help or guidance.

Not sure if anyone else has this issue, however with the new appearances when i use the dark appearance and then open the app "TickTick", the icon goes to its original colour until the app is closed.

when does an intel macbook pro 2020 get the last xcode update i.e when does this type of mac stop to be capable of publishing on app store ?

We are experiencing an issue related to DepthData from the TrueDepth camera on a specific device. On December 1, we tested with the complainant’s device iPhone 14 / iOS 26.0.1, and observed that the depth image is received with empty values. However, the same implementation works normally on iPhone 17 Pro Max (iOS 26.1) and iPhone 13 Pro Max (iOS 26.0.1), where depth data is delivered correctly. In the problematic case: TrueDepth camera is active Face ID works normally The app receives a DepthData object, but all values are empty (0), not nil Because the DepthData object is not nil, this makes it difficult to detect the issue through software fallback handling. We developed the feature with reference to the following Apple sample: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/AVFoundation/streaming-depth-data-from-the-truedepth-camera We would like to ask: Are there known cases where Face ID functions normally but DepthData from the TrueDepth camera is returned as empty values? If so, is there a recommended approach for identifying or handling this situation? Any guidance from Apple engineers or the community would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

We're experiencing crashes in our production iOS app related to Apple's DeviceCheck framework. The crash occurs in DCAnalytics internal performance tracking, affecting some specific versions of iOS 18 (18.4.1, 18.5.0). Crash Signature CoreFoundation: -[__NSDictionaryM setObject:forKeyedSubscript:] + 460 DeviceCheck: -[DCAnalytics sendPerformanceForCategory:eventType:] + 236 Observed Patterns Scenario 1 - Token Generation: Crashed: com.appQueue EXC_BAD_ACCESS KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS 0x0000000000000010 DeviceCheck: -[DCDevice generateTokenWithCompletionHandler:] Thread: Background dispatch queue Scenario 2 - Support Check: Crashed: com.apple.main-thread EXC_BAD_ACCESS KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS 0x0000000000000008 DeviceCheck: -[DCDevice _isSupportedReturningError:] DeviceCheck: -[DCDevice isSupported] Thread: Main thread Root Cause Analysis The DCAnalytics component within DeviceCheck attempts to insert a nil value into an NSMutableDictionary when recording performance metrics, indicating missing nil validation before dictionary operations. Reproduction Context Crashes occur during standard DeviceCheck API usage: Calling DCDevice.isSupported property Calling DCDevice.generateToken(completionHandler:) (triggered by Firebase App Check SDK) Both operations invoke internal analytics that fail with nil insertion attempts. Concurrency Considerations We've implemented sequential access guards around DeviceCheck token generation to prevent race conditions, yet crashes persist. This suggests the issue likely originates within the DeviceCheck framework's internal implementation rather than concurrent access from our application code. Note: Scenario 2 occurs through Firebase SDK's App Check integration, which internally uses DeviceCheck for attestation. Request Can Apple engineering confirm if this is a known issue with DeviceCheck's analytics subsystem? Is there a recommended workaround to disable DCAnalytics or ensure thread-safe DeviceCheck API usage? Any guidance on preventing these crashes would be appreciated.

When an iOS device is connected to a Bluetooth accessory that utilizes the Hands-Free Profile (HFP), we are encountering an incorrect audio routing behavior specifically for system notification tones. Accessory Connected: The iOS device is successfully connected to a Bluetooth accessory (specifically, a WM500 device) using the HFP profile for voice communication. Voice Audio: Audio streams related to phone calls or voice communication (using the HFP/SCO link) are correctly routed to the WM500. Notification Tones Issue: System notification tones, which are played using the tonetype.systemsounds API, are not being routed to the connected HFP accessory (WM500). Instead, they are incorrectly played through the iOS device's built-in speaker. Accessory team has suggested to establish SCO connection to route the tones through WM500. But iOS does not provide an external API (like Android's startBluetoothSco) to explicitly force the establishment of an SCO connection for notification tones. Is there any other approach to establish SCO connection in iOS to route notification tones through WM500

I'm capturing a room via RoomPlan API and would like to access the DepthMap(sceneDepth) or SmoothDepthMap(smoothedSceneDepth) from my own provided ARSession for RoomCaptureSession. But both depth maps are empty when handling the delegates. I have not found a solution yet. So is it even possible? Because i have not found any documentation of what RoomCaptureSession overwrites in the ARSession if I provide my own ARSession instance. Here is a example code snippet of what i'm trying to do: private let arSession = ARSession() private lazy var roomPlanCaptureSession = RoomCaptureSession(arSession: arSession) let arConfig = ARWorldTrackingConfiguration() //Create semantics for ARconfig which is used for ARSession var semantics: ARWorldTrackingConfiguration.FrameSemantics = [] if ARWorldTrackingConfiguration.supportsFrameSemantics(.sceneDepth) { semantics.insert(.sceneDepth) } if ARWorldTrackingConfiguration.supportsFrameSemantics(.smoothedSceneDepth) { semantics.insert(.smoothedSceneDepth) } arConfig.frameSemantics = semantics //set delegates roomPlanCaptureSession.delegate = self arSession.delegate = self //Check if device support for depthMap if ARWorldTrackingConfiguration.supportsFrameSemantics(.sceneDepth){ arSession.run(arConfig) } else{ print(".sceneDepth is unsupported.") } //run roomcapture scan config let captureConfig = RoomCaptureSession.Configuration() roomPlanCaptureSession.run(configuration: captureConfig) //trying to get sceneDepth public func session(_ session: ARSession, didUpdate frame: ARFrame) { print("session delegate capture: sceneDepth: \(String(describing: frame.sceneDepth))") //prints: session delegate capture: sceneDepth: nil also in this video from 2023 it is say that i can pass custom ARSession to my RoomPlan. Explore enhancements to RoomPlan - Video Quote 3:00: Here is the init and stop function in previous RoomPlan. And here is how you pass over a custom ARSession to init function. Any custom ARSession with ARWorldTrackingConfiguration will be honored inside RoomCaptureSession. anyway I welcome any input. maybe im doing something wrong. :)

Hi, my developer account has been pending for more than 48 hours and I haven't received any followup email as well. Can someone pls provide guidance on this?

I’ve been building iOS apps since 2011, took a 4-year break, returned with two new apps, and it feels like organic visibility and indexing have changed drastically compared to earlier releases. Has anyone else noticed slower indexing, fewer automatic mentions, and almost zero organic traction—has discovery changed, or is it just saturation?

I've recently run into an issue in Xcode where the sks editor's preview canvas just vanishes for every project on my computer. I don't think it is an issue with my sks files because this works as expected on another computer with the same files, and when it happens it happens for ALL sks files in all projects. There used to be menu items to toggle the canvas and its settings, but those are now gone for me in sks files (they show up for swift files that have previews, however). Any idea what is going on here? How do I get the canvas back? I literally cannot get any work done on my primary computer because of this...

We are currently implementing a custom iCloud sync for our macOS and iOS apps using CloudKit. Syncing works fine as long as the number of record sends is relatively small. But when we test with a large number of changes ( 80,000+ CKRecords ) we start running into problems. Our sending strategy is very conservative to avoid rate limits: We send records sequentially in batches of 250 records With about 2 seconds pause between operations Records are small and contain no assets (assets are uploaded separately) At some point we start receiving: “Database commit size exceeds limit” After that, CloudKit begins returning rate-limit errors with retryAfter-Information in the error. We wait for the retry time and try again, but from this moment on, nothing progresses anymore. Every subsequent attempt fails. We could not find anything in the official documentation regarding such a “commit size” limit or what triggers this failure state. So my questions are: Are there undocumented limits on the total number of records that can exist in an iCloud database (private or shared)? Is there a maximum volume of record modifications a container can accept within a certain timeframe, even if operations are split into small batches with pauses? Is it possible that sending large numbers of records in a row can temporarily or permanently “stall” a CloudKit container? Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Today (December 7), there is no data in the Benchmarks section after November 23. Anyone know what's up with that? Hoping someone at Apple will notice...

We have an unreleased SwiftData app for iOS18+. While we were testing I saw reports on the forum about unexpected database migrations for codable arrays on iOS26.1. I'd like to ask a couple of questions: 1- Does this issue originate from the new Xcode version, or is it specific to iOS 26.1? 2- Is it possible to change our attribute so that users on older iOS versions receive the same model, preventing a migration from being triggered when they upgrade to iOS 26.1? One of our models looks like this: struct Point: Codable, Hashable { let x: Int let y: Int } @Model class Grid { private(set) var gridId: String = "" var points: [Point] = [] var updatedAt: Date = Date() private(set) var createdAt: Date = Date() #Index<Grid>([\.gridId]) ... } I can think of some options like: // 1 @Attribute(.transformable(by: CustomJsonTransformer.self)) var points: [Point] = [] // 2 @Attribute(.externalStorage) var points: [Point] = [] // 3 var points: Data = Data() // store points as data However, I'm not sure which one to use. What would you recommend to handle this, or is there a better strategy you would suggest?

Hello, I’m developing an app that provides physical services such as equipment storage, maintenance, pickup, and delivery. The app does not provide any digital content, digital features, or any form of digital subscription. For payments, we are using an external payment gateway (similar to Stripe Billing or Braintree): iOS: Users are redirected to Safari to complete the payment. We also plan to support annual automatic renewal billing, using the payment gateway’s “billing key” or “recurring billing” feature. This is essentially a card auto-charge for a physical service, and it is not an in-app subscription. I want to ensure that our implementation is fully compliant with Apple’s App Store Review Guidelines, especially 3.1.5(a) regarding physical goods and services. I would appreciate guidance on the following: For apps providing physical services, is it acceptable to process payments through an external browser (Safari) instead of using In-App Purchase? Is recurring billing / automatic renewal with an external payment provider allowed, as long as the service being billed is physical and not digital? For apps offering only physical services, should we completely avoid using the Monetization → Subscriptions section in App Store Connect, since those subscription products apply only to digital content? Our goal is to ensure that the app follows Apple’s policies correctly and does not mistakenly fall under the category of digital subscriptions. Thank you very much for your help.

We are preparing to transfer one of our live applications to a different Apple Developer Organization and need clarification to avoid service disruption. We would like guidance on the following points: Sign in with Apple and Service ID Transfer: We want to confirm whether the Service ID used for Sign in with Apple must be transferred along with the app, or if its configuration will automatically migrate as part of the transfer. Additionally, is there a way to verify whether the app currently has any explicit association or dependency with the existing Service ID on the current developer account? As per our findings, we do not have a ServiceID associated with SIWA. The SIWA is handled natively by iOS. Creating or Updating a Service ID Before Transfer: Since, the ServiceID is not associated, if we create a new Service ID now and assign it to the existing app for Sign in with Apple, will this have any impact on users who are already using the live app? Specifically, will creating or modifying a Service ID change the authorization state for currently authenticated Apple Sign In users? Transfer Identifier Timing: The transfer process requires generating a transfer identifier. Should this be done ahead of the Account Migration or only at the start of the transfer? Also, will generating or using the transfer identifier require any change on the client side related to Apple Sign In? We would appreciate recommendation for these steps and whether users should expect any authentication or billing disruptions during or after the app transfer.

I have been trying to run an open source Windows executable that I would like to help porting to macOS using the Game Porting Toolkit but I stumbled on an issue quite early in the application lifecycle.

We're really sorry. The last backup was saved Unknown time to... C:\users\crossover\AppData\Roaming\TiXL\Backup Please refer to Help > Using Backups on what to do next.

Hello, I am implementing "Sign in with Apple" on my backend and validating the Identity Token (JWT) received from the client. I noticed that for some users who choose the "Hide My Email" option, the is_private_email claim is missing from the ID Token payload, even though the email address clearly belongs to the private relay domain (@privaterelay.appleid.com). Here is an example of the decoded payload I received: { "iss": "https://appleid.apple.com", "aud": "com.platform.elderberry.new.signinwithapple", "exp": 1764402438, "iat": 1764316038, "sub": "000851.86193ef81ad247feb673746c19424f28.0747", "c_hash": "3FAJNf4TILzUgo_YFe4E0Q", "email": "x8sqp2dgvv@privaterelay.appleid.com", "email_verified": true, "auth_time": 1764316038, "nonce_supported": true // "is_private_email": true <-- This field is missing } My Questions: Is the is_private_email claim considered optional in the ID Token? Is it safe and recommended to rely solely on the email domain suffix (@privaterelay.appleid.com) to identify if a user is using a private email? Any insights or official references would be appreciated. Thanks.
