Overview

Hi, I tried to follow this guide: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/filtering-traffic-by-url And this: https://github.com/apple/pir-service-example I already deploy the pir service on my server. And set the configuration on the app like this: { name = SimpleURLFilter identifier = xxxxx applicationName = SimpleURLFilter application = com.xxxx.SimpleURLFilter grade = 2 urlFilter = { Enabled = YES FailClosed = NO AppBundleIdentifier = com.mastersystem.SimpleURLFilter ControlProviderBundleIdentifier = com.xxxx.SimpleURLFilter.SimpleURLFilterExtension PrefilterFetchFrequency = 2700 pirServerURL = https://xxxxx/pir pirPrivacyPassIssuerURL = https://xxxxx/pir AuthenticationToken = AAAA pirPrivacyProxyFailOpen = NO pirSkipRegistration = NO } } But I got this error when I tried to enable the service on the app: Received filter status change: <FilterStatus: 'stopped' errorMessage: 'The operation couldn’t be completed. (NetworkExtension.NEURLFilterManager.Error error 9.)'> What does that error mean? And how to fix it?

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.

I'm on macOS Sequoia Version 15.7.3 (24G419) and using Xcode Version 26.2 (17C52). In my Xcode project, Transaction.updates and Product.SubscriptionInfo.Status.updates don’t seem to emit updates reliably. The code below works consistently in a fresh Xcode project using a minimal setup with a local StoreKit Configuration file containing a single auto-renewable subscription. class InAppPurchaseManager { static let shared = InAppPurchaseManager() var transactionTask: Task<Void, Never>? var subscriptionTask: Task<Void, Never>? init() { print("Launched InAppPurchaseManager...") transactionTask = Task(priority: .background) { for await result in Transaction.updates { print("\nReceived transaction update...") try? await result.payloadValue.finish() } } subscriptionTask = Task(priority: .background) { for await result in Product.SubscriptionInfo.Status.updates { print("\nReceived subscription update...") print("state:", result.state.localizedDescription) } } } } I initialise it in: func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) { _ = InAppPurchaseManager.shared } I do not build any UI for this test. I open StoreKit Transaction Manager then click Create Transaction → select the product → choose Purchase (Default) → Next → Done. The console shows that it detects the initial purchase, renewals and finishes each transaction. It also works even if I do not add the In-App Purchase capability. In my actual project, the initial purchase is detected and finished, but renewals are not detected. Subsequent transactions then appear as unverified, presumably because the updates are not being observed so the transactions are not being finished. What can I do to make this work reliably in my actual project? For context, in the actual project: I have a StoreKit Configuration file that is synced with App Store Connect The In-App Purchase capability is enabled The configuration file is selected in the scheme The products in App Store Connect show “Ready to Submit” Loading products works: try await Product.products(for: ...) Also, I use ProductView for the purchase UI. The first purchase works and is detected and finished, but subsequent renewals are not finished because the updates do not seem to be emitted.

I have a problem when applying rotationEffect to a map in in SwiftUI. The legal text in the map is transformed as shown in this image: The following code is part of a much larger and complex view; it is a minimal example to reproduce the error: import SwiftUI import MapKit struct ContentView: View { @State private var offset = CGSize.zero var body: some View { ZStack { let drag = DragGesture() .onChanged { g in offset.width = g.translation.width offset.height = g.translation.height } Map(interactionModes: [.zoom]) .frame(width: 320, height: 220) .rotationEffect(.degrees(Double(offset.width / 12))) .highPriorityGesture(drag) } } } I hope you can help me with this problem.

I’ve seen, mainly in discussions with AIs, that ARFaceTrackingConfiguration uses the same technology as Face ID and therefore should work in complete darkness. However, I haven’t been able to achieve this. Does anyone know if this is actually true? I'm using an iPhone 16 to test, and the Face ID works well in darkness.

Among requirements to transfer app there is one called "clear all builds and testers and empty all fields under Test Information" under TestFlight but it seems there has been an update to appstore internal code as now I simply can't clear any field under Test Information as error pop ups "There are one or more errors on page." requiring me to fill them. How do I transfer apps now?

Hello Apple Developers and users I am writing this message reguarding some help on some performance codes/settings I can use for my Macbook since I recently downloaded the MacOs Tahoe 26.2 and its been very glitchy and laggy with gaming and just using my mac normally I have tried using a FPS unlocker and downloading Metal 4 the FPS unlocker hasent worked at all I am still stuck on the normal 60 FPS and need some advice/help. Thank you. Kind regards Zachary

Hello, I am having a recurring issue using Swift Playgrounds version 4.6.4 on macOS 26.1. Upon opening a file and every other time I start typing in the code section I get a prompt, the image below, two or three times. It doesn't matter if I accept or decline all or some of the prompts, as soon as I start typing on another line I get prompted another two or three times for permission. It appears to me that prompt generates every time the preview pane tries to update. Declining the prompt breaks the preview but accepting the prompt only gets you through a single line of code before it appears again. I believe this issue started after I updated to macOS26.1 as I had not encountered it before. I've also opened other files with Swift Playgrounds and encounter the same problem. It could also be unrelated to the update and could be an issue with some permission setting somewhere, however, I have been unable to find what or where it could be. Is anyone else experiencing this? Thank you for your time :)

Since one of the last updates of XCode, there are two very annoying bugs in the simulator that just don't get fixed. What's going on Apple? You kill my productivity. There is a red bar reading "rdar" and some numeric string at the top. You can get rid of it by going to Settings -> Developers -> Zoom -> Larger Text (then change it back). Took a while to find that. I have a German laptop with a QWERTZ keyboard layout. Now when I type, it somehow sends keys from an US keyboard to the simulator. Since I don't have the labels, I don't know what the hell I'm typing. Very frustrating. Please fix this.

I had a VoiceOver user point out an issue with my app that I’ve definitely known about but have never been able to fix. I thought that I had filed feedback for it but it looks like I didn’t. Before I do I’m hoping someone has some insight. With Swift Charts when I tap part of a chart it summarizes the three hours and then you can swipe vertically to hear it read out details of each hour. For example, the Y-Axis is the amount of precipitation for the hour and the X-Axis is the hours of the day. The units aren't being read in the summary but they are for individual hours when you vertical swipe. The summary says something such as "varies between 0.012 and 0.082". In the AXChartDescriptor I’ve tried everything I can think of, including adding a label to the Y axis in the DataPoint but nothing seems to work in getting that summary to include units. With a vertical swipe it seems to just be using my accessibility label and value (like I would expect).

I am developing an iOS App for a Bluetooth peripheral using SwiftUI with Swift 5 or 6. I have a few past attempts that got so far (connected to a peripheral), and some downloaded examples that connect to peripherals. Lately (last month or so), my current attempt never gets BleManager to start, and every attempt ends at my View that says 'please enable Bluetooth'. The Xcode console is totally blank with no print outputs. Coding Assistant suggested the init() in my @main structure could contain print("App initializing"), but even that never prints. Coding Assistant suggests: "• Open your project's Info.plist in Xcode. • Make sure UIApplicationSceneManifest is present and configured for SwiftUI, not referencing any storyboard. • Ensure UIMainStoryboardFile is not present (or blank)." but there is no info.plist because it is no longer required. Downloaded sample code runs and connects to peripherals, so Bluetooth is working on my iPhone and the Bluetooth device is accessible. My older attempts used to work, but now have the same problem. All attempts have "Enable Bluetooth to connect to Device" in the Privacy - Bluetooth Info.plist setting. Something is fundamentally wrong with many different code attempts. I have searched all the various settings for mention of SwiftUI or Storyboard, but not found them in working or failing projects. The downloaded code which works has minimum deployment iOS 14.0 and Swift Compiler Language Version Swift 5. My latest code attempt has minimum deployment iOS 16 and Swift 5. All code is target device iPhone (I am testing on iPhone 16e running iOS 26.2.1) and developing with Xcode 26.2 on MacBook Air M1 running the latest Tahoe. I do a Clean Build Folder before every test, and have tried re-starting both Mac and iPhone. How can my coding fail so spectacularly?

Hello, I'm working on a game that features online multiplayer. The game is developed using Unity and Apple Unity plugins. The "isUnderAge" property restricts the online multiplayer feature. Everything works as expected on all platforms (Mac, iPhone, iPad, AppleTV, and visionPro) except on Macs equipped with an Intel chip. Using the same iCloud and GameCenter, with no restrictions enabled, "isUnderAge" returns false, as expected, but on Mac equipped with an Intel chip, it returns true. Is there any restriction or compatibility issue with those chips? Is there a workaround? Thanks

The documentation specifies that when Contacts framework returns unified contacts that each fetched unified contact object (CNContact) has its own unique identifier that’s different from any individual contact’s identifier in the set of linked contacts and that when refetching a unified contact, that this identifier should be used. There is also an analogous identifier within the list of contactRelations, but each of these don't seem to corespondent to the unified contacts. For example, is a new contact (Sheryl Zakroff) is created in the simulator Contacts and their spouse is set to Hank Zakroff. However, the GUID created for the contactRelations identifier does not correlate to the original Hank Zakroff GUID and cannot be searched. Is this a bug or what is the indent of the contactRelations identifier? Here's a debug output of walking the unifiedContacts: Name: Hank Zakroff 2E73EE73-C03F-4D5F-B1E8-44E85A70F170 - Other : (555) 766-4823 - Other : (707) 555-1854 Name: David Taylor E94CD15C-7964-4A9B-8AC4-10D7CFB791FD - Other : 555-610-6679 Name: Sheryl Zakroff DE783BC8-7917-4138-93F6-3AF0FD4CE083 - Other : (707) 555-1854 - Spouse: <CNContactRelation: 0x60000000dd60: name=Hank M. Zakroff> - 534B467D-CA00-46D3-897C-16EEA782C9CF - Looking for ["534B467D-CA00-46D3-897C-16EEA782C9CF"] []

I'll try to ask a question that makes sense this time :) . I'm using the following method on NSFileManager: (BOOL) getRelationship:(NSURLRelationship *) outRelationship ofDirectoryAtURL:(NSURL *) directoryURL toItemAtURL:(NSURL *) otherURL error:(NSError * *) error; Sets 'outRelationship' to NSURLRelationshipContains if the directory at 'directoryURL' directly or indirectly contains the item at 'otherURL', meaning 'directoryURL' is found while enumerating parent URLs starting from 'otherURL'. Sets 'outRelationship' to NSURLRelationshipSame if 'directoryURL' and 'otherURL' locate the same item, meaning they have the same NSURLFileResourceIdentifierKey value. If 'directoryURL' is not a directory, or does not contain 'otherURL' and they do not locate the same file, then sets 'outRelationship' to NSURLRelationshipOther. If an error occurs, returns NO and sets 'error'. So this method falsely returns NSURLRelationshipSame for different directories. One is empty, one is not. Really weird behavior. Two file path urls pointing to two different file paths have the same NSURLFileResourceIdentifierKey? Could it be related to https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/813641 ? One url in the check lived at the same file path as the other url at one time (but no longer does). No symlinks or anything going on. Just plain directory urls. And YES calling -removeCachedResourceValueForKey: with NSURLFileResourceIdentifierKey causes proper result of NSURLRelationshipOther to be returned. And I'm doing the check on a background queue.

I'm building an app which runs around the Foundation model framework. My expected output is generated when testing on a real device or in preview in Xcode but it throws Foundation Model error when I try running it on the simulator. I'm using a Macbook M1 air and have apple intelligence turned on and my simulator run destination is also an iPad Pro M5 (26.0). Any solution for this as this is my submission for the SSC so I need to make it work on the simulator iPad. Thank you👾

Is the MacOs tahoe 26.2 Finder's Column "column width" not adjustable in column mode?

Hello, After upgrading to macOS 26.2, I’ve noticed a significant performance regression when calling evaluateJavaScript in an iOS App running on Mac (WKWebView, Swift project). Observed behavior On macOS 26.2, the callback of evaluateJavaScript takes around 3 seconds to return. This happens not only for: evaluateJavaScript("navigator.userAgent") but also for simple or even empty scripts, for example: evaluateJavaScript("") On previous macOS versions, the same calls typically returned in ~200 ms. Additional testing I created a new, empty Objective-C project with a WKWebView and tested the same evaluateJavaScript calls. In the Objective-C project, the callback still returns in ~200 ms, even on macOS 26.2. Question Is this a known issue or regression related to: iOS Apps on Mac, Swift + WKWebView, or behavioral changes in evaluateJavaScript on macOS 26.2? Any information about known issues, internal changes, or recommended workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Test Code Swift class ViewController: UIViewController { private var tmpWebView: WKWebView? override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. setupUserAgent() } func setupUserAgent() { let t1 = CACurrentMediaTime() tmpWebView = WKWebView(frame: .zero) tmpWebView?.isInspectable = true tmpWebView?.evaluateJavaScript("navigator.userAgent") { [weak self] result, error in let t2 = CACurrentMediaTime() print("[getUserAgent] \(t2 - t1)s") self?.tmpWebView = nil } } } Test Code Objective-C - (void)scene:(UIScene *)scene willConnectToSession:(UISceneSession *)session options:(UISceneConnectionOptions *)connectionOptions { NSTimeInterval startTime = [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970]; WKWebView *webView = [[WKWebView alloc] init]; dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ [webView evaluateJavaScript:@"navigator.userAgent" completionHandler:^(id result, NSError *error) { NSTimeInterval endTime = [[NSDate date] timeIntervalSince1970]; NSLog(@"[getUserAgent]: %.2f s", (endTime - startTime)); }]; }); }

We have an app that controls InDesign Desktop and InDesignServer via hundreds of AppleScripts. Some macOS security updates a while back dictated that we start communicating with other apps via ScriptingBridge. We couldn't afford to convert the hundreds of AppleScripts into direct ScriptingBridge nomenclature, so we opted to keep them as is and instead tell the external apps to: [app doScript:<the script text> language:InDesignScLgApplescriptLanguage withArguments:nil undoMode:InDesignESUMScriptRequest undoName:@"blah"] There are a handful of scripts that we did convert to direct ScriptingBridge. There are times (and under the right circumstances, it's repeatable) when a certain script will have run perfectly dozens of times, and then it will throw errOSAInternalTableOverflow. We create a new SBApplication for every job (which could be a single instance of Desktop or the multiple instances of Server). Why is this error happening seemingly randomly? Is there anything we can do to work around or prevent this?

With the same firmware, OTA testing on the DCL test network was successful in September 2025, and the Home app was able to deliver software update notifications. Since the beginning of 2026, however, the Home app no longer delivers software update notifications. This is bug number: FB21922369

Hello, With the recent update to Guideline 1.2 stating apps used primarily for “anonymous chat” may be removed, could App Review clarify what “anonymous” means in this context? In our app, users interact using a chosen username and avatar. We don’t display legal names publicly, but each user has a persistent, verified account and all UGC is tied to that account so we can enforce bans. We also provide filtering, reporting, and blocking. Question: Do applications that provide chat functionality with pseudonymous users — meaning users do not display their real names — have the right to exist under this guideline, provided that accounts are persistent and enforceable? If anyone has recently passed review with a similar pseudonymous chat model, I’d appreciate any guidance on how you framed 1.2 compliance.
