I use CI/CD dsym, downloaded into local directories, but there seems no direct way using it in Xcode

: Hello, I’m seeking clarification on whether Apple provides any framework or API that enables deep integration between Siri and advanced AI assistants (such as ChatGPT), including system-level functions like voice interaction, navigation, cross-platform syncing, and operational access similar to Siri’s own capabilities. If no such option exists today, I would appreciate guidance on the recommended path or approved third-party solutions for building a unified, voice-first experience across Apple’s ecosystem. Thank you for your time and insight.

Dear Forum, after decades, I'm back to MacOS dev just for the need of it. Besides Mac, I'm also toying around with vintage IBM mainframe systems and therefore I'm in need for a good terminal emulation. So far, I use x3270 on my Apple Silicon M1 MacBook Air - nice. However, I can't compile it on my collection of vintage Macs (iMac G3, Cube G4) so I pondered to create it on my own using Cocoa (starting with MacOS X 10.4 Tiger up to the current level (on Sequoia) so that rules out Carbon. tn3270 X from Brown University works nice on those vintage Macs but misses some features. Having browsed some info about the Cocoa Text system, I wonder if that would be the right place to start. At the end of the day, I need to be able to intercept all keystrokes, have more or less a fixed font 80x25 (136x25 etc..) col/row layout of protected and unprotected areas where text can be entered. Cusor should be visible and movable by using cursor control keys. I'd be happy for any suggestion on where to start here. Kind regards Michael

I have an app where I create UIToolbars and add them to UIViews programatically. I've never used autolayout for anything, I've never assigned any constraints to anything, etc. This worked fine pre-iOS 26. Now I'm trying to build for iOS 26 (liquid glass) and my toolbars are spamming my debug pane with hundreds of lines of autolayout warnings. Here are some key phrases from the warnings: Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints. Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger. (Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints) Does anybody know what happened and how I can get it to stop? The way things are, I can't use the debug pane for anything because of this spam.

Hi everyone, I am currently implementing Server-to-Server Notifications for Sign in with Apple. I’ve encountered a discrepancy between the official documentation and the actual payload I received, and I would like to clarify which one is correct. The Situation: I triggered an account deletion event via privacy.apple.com to test the notification flow. When my server received the notification, the type field in the JSON payload was account-deleted (past tense). The Issue: According to the official Apple documentation, the event type is listed as account-delete (present tense). Here is the discrepancy I am observing: Documentation: account-delete Actual Payload: account-deleted My Question: Is the documentation outdated, or is this a known inconsistency? Should I handle both strings (account-delete and account-deleted) in my backend logic to be safe, or is account-deleted the new standard? Any insights or confirmation from those who have implemented this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How can I correctly display the cursor using a custom keyboard in SwiftUI without using UIKit? Currently, I'm encountering a conflict between the custom keyboard and the system keyboard in SwiftUI, resulting in both keyboards being displayed simultaneously. If I disable the system keyboard and then handle the custom keyboard, the cursor disappears. How can I resolve this issue?it?

I am making an iOS step counting app and I have included a widget in the design. I would like to get the widget to pull data from the main app to display step count etc so I created a bundle id for the widget and have been trying to use a group id to link them together. The group capabilities for both seem to be set up/enabled properly with the same App Groups id, but I've been getting an error in xcode which says, " 'Provisioning Profile: "BUNDLE_ID" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.security.application-groups entitlement.' Try Again But the identifiers do have the App Group id enabled. I have tried automatic signing, manual signing with generated profiles, unchecking and rechecking auto-signing, removing and re-adding the group capability. Creating a new bundle id from scratch, creating a new group id from scratch. Always I get the error. I've really pulled my hair out troubleshooting this and would appreciate support. I'm happy to answer and questions or share details. Thank you.

I am on a windows computer using visual studio 2026 for developing .NET Maui apps for Android and iOS. Am I able to connect my iPhone to my windows computer and deploy my .NET Maui app to my connected iPhone during deveoplemt?

Regarding the “App Store Downloads” Analytics Report, I have submitted a report generation request with accessType: ONE_TIME_SNAPSHOT. Reference: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/analytics-reports/app-download I would like to confirm the scope of the Campaign data included in the report generated by this request. In the App Store Connect UI, I understand that there is an upper limit of 200 Campaign entries displayed. For the report output, however, could you please confirm whether it includes all Campaigns measured on the App Store Connect side? Or is there also any upper limit on the number of Campaign records included in the report itself?

Hello, We are experiencing on some occasions a wrong behavior with PDFDocument method: func page(at index: Int) -> PDFPage? With certain PDF files, this method returns the wrong PDFPage. This occurs on iOS 18.3, 18.5 and 18.6.2 (an maybe on other versions). Try this PDF for instance (page 81 is returned when index = 2): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1MHm2wjfsbWB8OiRmARUMmvODYxp4DIqP&usp=drive_fs Also, I mention that this doesn't occur systematically with this PDF. When making a copy of this file we don't observe the issue. Could this be linked some kind of internal cache issue ?

I'm building a macOS app using SwiftUI, and I want to create a draggable floating webcam preview window Right now, I have something like this: import SwiftUI import AVFoundation struct WebcamPreviewView: View { let captureSession: AVCaptureSession? var body: some View { ZStack { if let session = captureSession { CameraPreviewLayer(session: session) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 50)) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 50) .strokeBorder(Color.white.opacity(0.2), lineWidth: 2) ) } else { VStack(spacing: 8) { Image(systemName: "video.slash.fill") .font(.system(size: 40)) .foregroundColor(.white.opacity(0.6)) Text("No Camera") .font(.caption) .foregroundColor(.white.opacity(0.6)) } } } .shadow(color: .black.opacity(0.3), radius: 10, x: 0, y: 5) } } struct CameraPreviewLayer: NSViewRepresentable { let session: AVCaptureSession func makeNSView(context: Context) -> NSView { let view = NSView() view.wantsLayer = true let previewLayer = AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer(session: session) previewLayer.videoGravity = .resizeAspectFill previewLayer.frame = view.bounds view.layer = previewLayer return view } func updateNSView(_ nsView: NSView, context: Context) { if let previewLayer = nsView.layer as? AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer { previewLayer.frame = nsView.bounds } } } This is my SwiftUI side code to show the webcam, and I am trying to create it as a floating window which appears on top of all other apps windows etc. however, even when the webcam is clicked, it should not steal the focus from other apps, the other apps should be able to function properly as they already are. import Cocoa import SwiftUI class WebcamPreviewWindow: NSPanel { private static let defaultSize = CGSize(width: 200, height: 200) private var initialClickLocation: NSPoint = .zero init() { let screenFrame = NSScreen.main?.visibleFrame ?? .zero let origin = CGPoint( x: screenFrame.maxX - Self.defaultSize.width - 20, y: screenFrame.minY + 20 ) super.init( contentRect: CGRect(origin: origin, size: Self.defaultSize), styleMask: [.borderless], backing: .buffered, defer: false ) isOpaque = false backgroundColor = .clear hasShadow = false level = .screenSaver collectionBehavior = [ .canJoinAllSpaces, .fullScreenAuxiliary, .stationary, .ignoresCycle ] ignoresMouseEvents = false acceptsMouseMovedEvents = true hidesOnDeactivate = false becomesKeyOnlyIfNeeded = false } // MARK: - Focus Prevention override var canBecomeKey: Bool { false } override var canBecomeMain: Bool { false } override var acceptsFirstResponder: Bool { false } override func makeKey() { } override func mouseDown(with event: NSEvent) { initialClickLocation = event.locationInWindow } override func mouseDragged(with event: NSEvent) { let current = event.locationInWindow let dx = current.x - initialClickLocation.x let dy = current.y - initialClickLocation.y let newOrigin = CGPoint( x: frame.origin.x + dx, y: frame.origin.y + dy ) setFrameOrigin(newOrigin) } func show<Content: View>(with view: Content) { let host = NSHostingView(rootView: view) host.autoresizingMask = [.width, .height] host.frame = contentLayoutRect contentView = host orderFrontRegardless() } func hide() { orderOut(nil) contentView = nil } } This is my Appkit Side code make a floating window, however, when the webcam preview is clicked, it makes it as the focus app and I have to click anywhere else to loose the focus to be able to use the rest of the windows.

After Xcode 26.1 was updated and installing the OS 26.1 simulators, my app started crashing related to transformable properties. When I checked my schema, I noticed that properties with array collection types are suddenly set with an option transformable with Optional("NSSecureUnarchiveFromData")], even though I do not use any transformable types. I verified the macros, no transformable was specified. This is causing ModelCoders to encode/decode my properties incorrectly. This is not an issue when I switch back to OS 26.0 simulators.

When I try to validate my app I get the following error: Invalid bundle. Because your app supports Multitasking on iPad, you need to include the LaunchScreen.storyboard launch storyboard file in your com.augmentedReality.virtualTags bundle. Use UlLaunchScreen instead if the app's MinimumOSVersion is 14 or higher and you prefer to configure the launch screen without storyboards. For details, see: https:// developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information_property_list/ uilaunchstoryboardname (ID: 236f630a-a014-48e8-910a-77d9c0ff6f51) What should I do to fix it? In the previous Xcode version and on another app it did not appear. MacBook Pro M5, Tahow 26.1, Xcode 26.1.1

Please help me reach the release on time. We submitted the app for Apple Review and are constantly receiving rejection. Last time they shared a screenshot with error: SKErrorDomain error 5. Bank details, Agreement, and Tax are in place. We tested it on 7 different devices and Apple IDs in TestFlight, along with the same device and OS they used for review, and it's working perfectly. I was able to found multiple posts of the same errors but with no solution. Please help those who have faced the same.

Hello, I am currently working on a research project under ENINCA Consulting, focused on advanced diagnostic tools for pseudorandom number generators (structural metrics, multi-seed stability, cross-architecture reproducibility, and complementary indicators to TestU01). To validate this diagnostic framework, I prototyped a small non-linear 64-bit PRNG (not as a goal in itself, but simply as a vehicle to test the methodology). During these evaluations, I observed something interesting on Apple Silicon (Mac M1): • bit-exact reproducibility between M1 ARM CPU and M1 Metal GPU, • full BigCrush pass on both CPU and Metal backends, • excellent p-values, • stable behaviour across multiple seeds and runs. This was not the intended objective, the goal was mainly to validate the diagnostic concepts, but these results raised some questions about deterministic compute behaviour in Metal. My question: Is there any official guidance on achieving (or expecting) deterministic RNG or compute behaviour across CPU ↔ Metal GPU on Apple Silicon? More specifically: • Are deterministic compute kernels expected or guaranteed on Metal for scientific workloads? • Are there recommended patterns or best practices to ensure reproducibility across GPU generations (M1 → M2 → M3 → M4)? • Are there known Metal features that can introduce non-determinism? I am not sharing the internal recurrence (this work is proprietary), but I can discuss the high-level diagnostic observations if helpful. Thank you for any insight, very interested in how the Metal engineering team views deterministic compute patterns on Apple Silicon. Pascal ENINCA Consulting

Hello everyone, I recently submitted my new app “Bitcoin Miner – Mining Pool” for App Review. The app was submitted under my Apple Developer account (Account Holder: Harshil Patel). However, the status has been “Waiting for Review” for over 2 days without any movement. Details: Submission platform: App Store Connect Metadata & screenshots uploaded correctly No compliance warnings or “Missing Information” alerts No previous rejections for this version I understand the review process time may vary, but I’m unsure whether this delay is normal or if there’s something more I should check on my side. Questions for the community / Apple Team Is there a typical timeline for apps currently showing “Waiting for Review”? My only goal is to ensure the submission process is moving correctly. Any guidance or suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thank you! — Harshil Patel

We have been trying to figure out how to block Apple Private Relay in our enterprise so we can monitor and filter our employees traffic. We are able to block the Private Relay via this process: We used this article from Fortinet to achieve this: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-block-iCloud-Private-Relay-from-bypassing/ta-p/228629 This also appears to block the users ability to utilize Apple iCloud Drive Backups. They would like to allow that still. Is there a way to block iCloud Private Relay while still allowing iCloud Drive Backups to work? I am not finding a document listing the URL requirements for iCloud Drive Backups. We currently have this solution in place: https://community.fortinet.com/t5/FortiGate/Technical-Tip-How-to-allow-iCloud-private-relay/ta-p/383703 Basically this solution is allowing all Apple URL/IPs to go through the firewall and not be filtered. They would like to scan the traffic through. When scanning is enabled the firewall blocks the iCloud Private Relay traffic as it is blocked as being a proxy. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Hi folks - I'm having trouble finding specific documentation about Audio Unit MIDI plugins - as in MIDI -only. Any suggestions welcome as searches aren't returning much. (too niche? user error?)

Is there any way to use blockedApplications to hide all apps in a category? Currently, I use blockedApplications to hide individual apps, but it doesn’t work when I select an entire category. I thought the only solution would be to use shield, which doesn’t hide the apps but creates a blocking shield. However, I found an app on the App Store called Fokus, and it’s able to select a category and block all the apps in it. Does anyone know how this could be possible?
