Overview

On macOS Golden Gate Developer Beta 4 the following code: import CoreSpotlight import FoundationModels let tool = SpotlightSearchTool() let session = LanguageModelSession(tools: [tool]) let response = try await session.respond(to: "What hikes have I gone on?") , returns the following error: Model Catalog error: Error Domain=com.apple.UnifiedAssetFramework Code=5000 "There are no underlying assets (neither atomic instance nor asset roots) for consistency token for asset set com.apple.modelcatalog" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=There are no underlying assets (neither atomic instance nor asset roots) for consistency token for asset set com.apple.modelcatalog} , although the model is available in general and can return responses without using the tool. The code: print(SystemLanguageModel.default.availability) returns 'available'. What am I doing wrong?

Hello App Review team, My app (App ID: 6745896828) was rejected on Friday, July 17. I addressed the points raised and resubmitted the same day. Since then, the build has stayed in "Waiting for Review" with no update or response. This is highly unusual for our account: I have shipped regular updates for over a year, and every single review has been completed within 24 hours. Something appears to be stuck on this specific submission. This is a major version that our partner venues are actively waiting on for a business-critical feature (in-app reservations), so the delay has a direct impact on us. Could the App Review team please look into why this submission is stalled? Case ID: [102945425814] Thank you.

We are seeing a startup issue with in-house enterprise iOS apps on iOS 27 Developer Beta. We would like to understand whether this could be related to changes in iOS 27 Developer Beta startup validation, code signing validation, provisioning profile validation, certificate chain validation, entitlements, embedded frameworks, enterprise developer trust state, or device-specific launch behavior. This issue blocks our enterprise app compatibility validation on iOS 27 Developer Beta, especially on iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 devices. If this is a known beta issue, we would appreciate confirmation from Apple and any available fix plan or workaround. Symptoms: After installing the same enterprise app, some iPhone 11 / iPhone 12 devices running iOS 27 Developer Beta cannot launch it correctly. There are two visible behaviors: When launched from the Home Screen icon, the app stays on the Launch Screen. The normal app UI never appears. When launched from Spotlight/Search, the app crashes immediately. Additional observations: iPhone 13 and later devices do not show this issue. Other enterprise apps distributed with the same provisioning profile or provisioning setup show the same behavior. This makes the issue look less like a single app's business logic problem and more like an iOS 27 Developer Beta validation, trust, or launch-time behavior difference on specific device models. We added logs and breakpoints at the earliest possible app startup points, including main, AppDelegate, SceneDelegate, and before crash-reporting SDK initialization. On affected devices, none of these logs are printed. Based on this, it appears that our app code is never reached. The failure seems to happen before iOS transfers control to the app, possibly while launching the process or loading the app binary/frameworks. Our current suspicion is that the failure may happen during one of these system-level steps: Enterprise code signing validation embedded.mobileprovision validation Certificate chain validation Enterprise developer certificate trust validation Mach-O / embedded frameworks / dynamic libraries loading Entitlements validation Bundle ID / App ID / provisioning profile matching Reuse of stale local enterprise trust, provisioning, or signing validation state on the device Temporary workaround observed: We found a temporary workaround on affected devices: Completely uninstall the existing enterprise app from the device. Download and install the app again. Trust the enterprise developer certificate again in Settings. Launch the app again. After doing this, the app can start normally on the affected iPhone 11 / iPhone 12 devices running iOS 27 Developer Beta. The Launch Screen hang and Spotlight/Search crash no longer reproduce. This suggests that the IPA itself may not be permanently invalid, and the issue may not be caused by app business logic. It may instead be related to stale or invalid local enterprise trust, provisioning profile, certificate chain, or signing validation state after upgrading to iOS 27 Developer Beta. Questions: Does iOS 27 Developer Beta introduce any new restrictions or behavior changes for enterprise in-house app launch validation, code signing validation, enterprise developer trust state, embedded frameworks loading, entitlements, or provisioning profile validation? Are there any known differences in this area between iPhone 11 / iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 or later devices on iOS 27 Developer Beta? If multiple enterprise apps distributed with the same provisioning profile or provisioning setup fail before app code runs, does that point more strongly to a provisioning profile, certificate chain, enterprise trust state, or system validation issue? Given that completely uninstalling the old enterprise app, reinstalling it, and trusting the enterprise developer certificate again fixes the issue, could this be caused by stale trust, provisioning profile, certificate, or code-signing validation state cached on the device after upgrading to iOS 27 Developer Beta? For an enterprise app that stays on the Launch Screen before app code runs, or crashes immediately when launched from Spotlight/Search, what are the most common signing, certificate, provisioning profile, entitlement, or enterprise trust problems to check? Which system logs or crash log fields should we focus on for this kind of pre-main launch failure? For example: device console, crash log, Termination Reason, dyld message, Code Signature Invalid, profile validation, or trust evaluation messages. Are there recommended commands or checks to verify that the IPA's code signature, certificates, entitlements, embedded.mobileprovision, and embedded frameworks are all valid and consistent? If this is an iOS 27 Developer Beta regression, is there any known workaround until the issue is fixed? Environment: Distribution type: Apple Developer Enterprise Program / In-House distribution Affected OS: iOS 27 Developer Beta Affected devices: iPhone 11 / iPhone 12 Unaffected devices: iPhone 13 and later Same provisioning profile or provisioning setup: other enterprise apps show the same behavior Behavior 1: stuck on Launch Screen when launched from Home Screen Behavior 2: crashes immediately when launched from Spotlight/Search App code execution: not reached main/AppDelegate/SceneDelegate logs: not printed Crash SDK initialization: not reached Temporary workaround: completely uninstall the old enterprise app, reinstall it, and trust the enterprise developer certificate again. After that, the app launches normally. Impact: blocks enterprise app compatibility validation on iOS 27 Developer Beta for affected devices Suspected area: iOS 27 Developer Beta startup validation / code signing / provisioning profile / certificate / enterprise developer trust state / entitlements / embedded frameworks / device-specific validation behavior We are looking for guidance on how to confirm whether this is caused by an iOS 27 Developer Beta signing, provisioning profile, or enterprise developer trust validation change on iPhone 11 / iPhone 12, rather than an app-level crash. If this is a system issue in iOS 27 Developer Beta, we hope Apple can provide a fix or a practical temporary workaround as soon as possible.

hello, i have an issue spawning continued background processing tasks: they are never started, even after restarting the device, regardless of which app spawns a task. deleting and reinstalling an app, or installing a new app that didn't exist before also does not work. it can be reproduced by setting your device local time to one year in advance and then trying to spawn the task. the task will not start and even after returning to the proper date, all apps on the device are still unable to spawn any. i also believe there are other things that trigger this issue (or something related), as many of my users have complained about tasks not starting. prior to my changing the date of my device, they worked perfectly for me. one user changed their date to test at the same time as me and the only fix they found was erasing their device and restoring a backup. on ios 26 tasks fail silently, but on ios 27 with the new api to submit a task, an error is caught: Error Domain=BGTaskSchedulerErrorDomain Code=1 "connection to service with pid 94 named com.apple.duetactivityscheduler" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=connection to service with pid 94 named com.apple.duetactivityscheduler} in addition, a more detailed error with a stack trace is logged at the same time: <NSXPCConnection: 0x10c60c0a0> connection to service with pid 94 named com.apple.duetactivityscheduler: Exception caught during decoding of reply to message 'submitTaskRequest:withHandler:', dropping incoming message and calling failure block.

I am seeing recurring DCError.invalidKey in my iOS app using App Attest, and I'am trying to determine whether throttling or a quota can be a contributing factor before we look further. Questions Are there rate limits or quotas on generateKey, attestKey, or generateAssertion — scoped per device, per key, or per app? I understand exact thresholds may not be published; what I'd mainly like to know is whether such limits exist and roughly what timing window they apply over. If a limit is hit, which error surfaces? Specifically, can throttling ever present as DCError.invalidKey, or would it always be serverUnavailable (or another distinct code)? Does calling the attestation flow repeatedly in a short window (e.g. several times within a few minutes from an onboarding sequence) risk triggering throttling or anti-abuse rejection? Am I right that generateAssertion is entirely on-device and therefore not subject to any server-side limit — i.e. only attestKey contacts Apple's servers? Is throttling one of the documented causes of invalidKey, or is invalidKey strictly a key-state error (key absent from the Secure Enclave, already attested, from a prior install, etc.)? Being able to rule throttling in or out would help us narrow the investigation considerably. Thanks.

I'm developing an app for Apple Watch, but I can't connect the Apple Watch to Xcode when I try to run the app on the actual device. I get the following errors: A networking error occurred The device rejected the connection request and A connection to this device could not be established. Timed out while attempting to establish tunnel using negotiated network parameters. The iPhone connects to Xcode without any problem. I've already tried several things without success: Resetting the "trusted computers" settings and trusting the Mac again Restarting all of the devices Making sure all devices are on the same Wi-Fi network On the iPhone, I can see the Developer Mode toggle in Settings, but on the Apple Watch there doesn't seem to be a Developer Mode toggle at all. I'm wondering whether enabling Developer Mode is required in my case. Could anyone tell me how to enable Developer Mode on Apple Watch, or suggest any other way to resolve this issue? Here is my environment: Mac mini (M1, 2020), macOS Tahoe 26.4.1 Xcode 26.4.1 Apple Watch SE 3, watchOS 26.1 iPhone 13, iOS 26.5 Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello, I am unable to use TestFlight for any app (existing or new), while production uploads work normally. All TestFlight actions fail with: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING There are no pending agreements in App Store Connect. This is an older account that previously used TestFlight successfully. This appears to be a missing or detached TestFlight Beta contract on Apple’s backend. Could this be manually reattached or re-provisioned? This is time-sensitive, as I need a TestFlight external testers link to submit an app for an upcoming hackathon. Apple Support case ID (for reference): 102817552619 Thank you.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice regarding an unusually long App Review process. Our app was initially submitted on July 7, 2026. During the review, Apple rejected the app under Guideline 2.1 – Information Needed because the demo account was not available due to a backend deployment ("User not found"). We immediately resolved the issue by creating and verifying the demo account, replied to the App Review team with the working credentials, and requested an expedited review. However, after providing the updated credentials, our app has remained in the review queue for several days without any further updates. We have also contacted Apple Developer Support and followed up multiple times through the App Review thread, but we have not yet received any information about the current status or whether there are any remaining blockers. This is our first App Store release, and the continued delay is affecting our planned public launch, business commitments, and customer onboarding. Has anyone experienced a similar situation after resolving a Guideline 2.1 issue? Is there any additional action we can take to help move the review forward, or is waiting the only option at this stage? Any guidance or suggestions from the community or Apple engineers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi, I'm new to Full Keyboard Access, and I was wondering how people typically navigate UI components with an external keyboard. Do people usually use Tab/Ctrl+Tab, or are the arrow keys more commonly used?

Hi everyone! After about 4-5 months of development, I released WatchBlocks v1.5 today. The project started as an experiment to answer a simple question: Could you build a real sandbox survival game that runs well on Apple Watch? It eventually grew into a cross-platform game supporting Apple Watch, iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Some of the technical challenges I enjoyed solving included: Optimizing rendering and gameplay for watchOS. Designing controls around the Digital Crown and the watch display. Building multiplayer across Apple platforms. Creating a content system that lets players make and share their own blocks, items, mobs, and biomes. The new update also transitions the game to a free-to-start model, making it easier for people to try it before deciding whether to unlock the full experience. I’d love to hear from other developers building for watchOS. It’s a platform that doesn’t get much attention for games, but I think there’s a lot of untapped potential. If anyone has questions about developing games for Apple Watch, I’m happy to answer them. App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/watchblocks-craft-build/id6760209351

This is UIKit app, in Xcode 26.3 (but same issue in 16.4). I create (in IB) a segmentedControl, with 2 segments. I set the images that are stored in assets. They show properly in Xcode. But when running (26.1 simulator), they just show a black image. In Xcode                                                                           On simulator at runtime I've tried to set background to clear as well as tint, to no avail. What am I missing ?

Additional Information This RSA key pair works correctly for many other plaintext values. The failure only occurs when encrypting and decrypting this specific string: SO202605140735073974 The RSA key pair is generated using: SecKeyGeneratePair(...) with a 1024-bit key size. Encryption and decryption use the Security framework APIs: SecKeyEncrypt SecKeyDecrypt Decryption returns errSecSuccess (status == noErr). There are no Security framework errors. Decryption Code status = SecKeyDecrypt( key, kSecPaddingNone, dataSegment.bytes, dataSegmentRealSize, cipherBuffer, &cipherBufferSize ); status is noErr. However, converting the decrypted data to UTF-8 always returns nil. My Questions Why can SecKeyDecrypt return noErr, yet the resulting data is not valid UTF-8? Is it possible that the decrypted bytes are actually an ASN.1/DER structure rather than the original plaintext? Could this be related to using kSecPaddingNone instead of kSecPaddingPKCS1? Is there anything special about this plaintext (SO202605140735073974) that could trigger this behavior, even though other plaintexts work correctly with the same key pair? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Dear Apple: 1、We want to create a socket application using the C language interface on the WiFi Aware channel, utilizing native socket APIs such as socket, connect, bind, etc., to transmit data through the established WiFi Aware channel. However, we wrote a demo and tested it. On the iOS side, when initiating a socket connect, we received error code 65. We also used the IPv6 protocol. We would like to ask for help: Is it impossible to use native socket APIs for programming on the WiFi Aware channel? 2、If native sockets are not available, which interfaces are recommended for WiFi Aware communication on iOS? Thanks.

We are having an issue with the Local Network permission pop-up not getting triggered for our apps that need to communicate with devices via local network interfaces/addresses. As we understand, apps using UDP should trigger this, causing macOS to prompt for access, or, if denied, fail to connect. However, we are facing issues with macOS not prompting this popup at all. Here are important and related points: Our application is packaged as a .app package and distributed independently (not on the App Store). The application controls hardware that we manufacture. In order to find the hardware on the network, we send a UDP broadcast with a message for our hardware on the local network, and the hardware responds with a message back. However, the popup (to ask for permission) never shows up. The application is not able to find the hardware device. It is interesting to note that data is still sent out to the network (without the popup) but we receive back the wrong data. The behaviour is consistent macOS Sequoia (and above) with both Apple And Intel silicon. Workarounds that have been tried: Manual Authorization: One solution suggested in various blogs was to go to "Settings → Privacy and Security-> Local network", find your application and grant access. However, the application never shows up in the list here. Firewall: No difference is seen in behaviour with firewall being ON OR OFF. Setting NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription: We have also tried setting the Info.plist adding the NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription with a meaningful string and updating the NSBonjourServices. Running Via terminal (WORKS): Running the application via terminal sees no issues. The application runs correctly and is able to send UDP and receive correct data (and find the devices on the network). But this is not an appropriate solution. How can we get this bug/issue fixed in macOS Sequoia (and above)? Are there any other solutions/workarounds that we can try on our end?

I am having a root TabView with tabs. One of the tabs has a TabBar with page style as the root view and each Page has a ScrollView. Unfortunately the scroll view get's clipped by the parent TabView size. But I want to make the ScrollView content to go behind the root TabView's tab bar like it would work if I would have the ScrollView as direct child to the root TabBar I tried using ignoreSafeArea on the page style TabView and there are other weird bugs, it stops reacting to the Binding pageIndex I am having as a State. The custom page index view disappears Sample code: https://github.com/BProg/TabViewScrollViewBug.git

Dear App Review Team, First, I must admit my mistake and sincerely apologize for wasting your time. After my app was previously rejected under Guideline 5.6, I filed an appeal, which was subsequently approved. You instructed me to submit a new binary for review. Due to an error on my part, I submitted a new version and removed the previous submission record; consequently, the new submission was not linked to the ID associated with the approved appeal. I am writing today to provide the ID for my new submission: 0760b84f-00b6-4c77-a1a3-ab9040143c06 The submission ID associated with the approved appeal was: fb5b0474-3ed0-4a38-82c8-3e7553743d1f My App Apple ID : 6764726742

We have an iOS app (Alamofire 5.9+, backed by URLSession) that talks to a LAN dashcam: HTTP/1.1 TLS 1.2 The device runs an embedded C HTTPS server Responses commonly include Connection: close (a new TCP connection is opened for each request) From Wireshark, looking at Client Hello, we observe: First connection: full handshake; a Session ID is negotiated Next new TCP connection: Client Hello carries that Session ID and completes an abbreviated handshake (resumption succeeds) After that: the same Session ID is not reused again Questions we want to confirm For TLS 1.2 Session ID resumption (RFC 5246), does iOS / URLSession intentionally allow a cached session to be resumed at most once? Or can the same Session ID be resumed multiple times until it expires / is evicted from the cache? Without changing the overall LAN dashcam product model, how should the server be configured—e.g. moving to TLS 1.3 and/or HTTP/2—so that iOS clients can resume via Session Ticket and/or Session ID multiple times? What we have already ruled out / observed The client already uses a shared long-lived URLSession / Alamofire Session (we do not create a new session per request) The server often returns Connection: close, so each request uses a new TCP connection; we are discussing TLS session resumption across connections, not HTTP keep-alive We occasionally see TLS time of only ~10–20 ms, which suggests at least one successful session resumption has occurred

I am developing a macOS solution that exposes a cloud-backed digital signing credential as a system identity through a persistent CryptoTokenKit token extension. My main goal is to allow third-party macOS applications, especially Adobe Acrobat, to discover the signing identity through the standard macOS Keychain infrastructure and use it for signing PDF documents. Intended signing flow The flow I am trying to implement is: The user adds a cloud signing credential in my macOS container application. My application retrieves the certificate and credential metadata from a remote signing service using the CSC protocol. My application creates or updates the persistent CryptoTokenKit token configuration. The CryptoTokenKit extension exposes the certificate and its associated private-key capability as a macOS system identity. The user opens a PDF document in Adobe Acrobat and starts a digital signature operation. Adobe Acrobat discovers the identity through the standard macOS certificate and Keychain selection flow. The signing request is routed to my CryptoTokenKit token extension. My extension forwards the signing request to the remote CSC signing service and returns the resulting signature. The private key is held by the remote signing infrastructure. It is never stored or exported locally. Environment macOS 26.4.1 (25E253) Xcode 26.4.1 (17E202) Swift Persistent Token Extension created from the Xcode template macOS container application Apple silicon Mac Current implementation issue I have built a prototype consisting of a macOS container application and a persistent CryptoTokenKit token extension. While managing the persistent token configuration, I encountered a reproducible issue with TKTokenDriver.Configuration.driverConfigurations. When I access this API from the container application process, the operation can block indefinitely without returning an error. I tested different threads and dispatch queues, but the behavior remained the same. However, when I execute the same configuration operation from a newly launched helper XPC process, it completes successfully. At this stage, I would first like to confirm that the overall architecture is correct before submitting detailed code and reproduction steps. Questions Is a persistent CryptoTokenKit token extension the Apple-supported architecture for exposing a cloud-backed signing credential as a macOS system identity? What is the recommended Apple-supported pattern for creating and updating persistent TKTokenDriver.Configuration entries? Should this be done directly by the container application, or is a separate process expected? Is there any official Apple sample project or technical guidance covering persistent CryptoTokenKit tokens, network-backed signing and consumption by third-party applications? I have a focused test project and can provide minimal code, logs, process samples and detailed reproduction steps if they are useful. Any architectural guidance, sample code or experience with a similar Adobe Acrobat signing flow would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello, We have an enterprise application that provides a security agent plugin with custom UI based on SFAuthorizationPluginView. We’ve been testing it on macOS 27 Developers Betas 1 through 4 and we noticed that if we set screenUnlockMode to 2, then after a screen is locked for the second time during one session, it can no longer be unlocked. Here are the concrete steps to reproduce: Open Terminal. Run sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist screenUnlockMode -int 2 Lock the screen. Observe the “You must enter the password to unlock the screen” dialog window. Enter the correct password and press OK. Lock the screen again. Expected result: The dialog “You must enter the password to unlock the screen” is displayed again. Entering the correct password unlocks the screen. Actual result: The screen is black with no visible UI. Rebooting the system seems to be the only way to leave this state. Displaying custom UI at the unlock screen is a part of our core functionality and it has been working fine with screenUnlockMode = 2 since at least macOS 14. I have filed a feedback FB23918474; if it is a known issue, please merge it with mine so that I can receive updates on the matter. In the meantime, do you have any suggestions on what can be done? Thanks.

All our workflows started to fail today due to timeouts - the notarization process is unable to finish in under 1 hour. The latest submission ID that failed after 45mins: 7449abcb-0d24-441b-a992-d5c7e7d279e3 It has never been a problem for us for the past years - is there something off on Apple side?
