Overview

I have quite a few in-door local packages that I do not really develop outside of the context of Xcode projects - meaning that I add local references to these libraries (and other content) to my Xcode project - and I update the libraries directly in Xcode within the project. I very rarely open up the library package on its own and work on it just like that. The unfortunate thing is that Xcode seems to be silencing warnings from all the packages during the build phase, resulting in me not seeing warnings from those libraries. I then need to open them separately in Xcode and review whether they contain any warnings and fix them. Using treat warnings as errors is, of course, one solution, but it doesn't help in cases where it's impossible to avoid them (e.g. https://github.com/swiftlang/swift/issues/86650) as there's no #pragma push; or in case of user-defined #warning which I often use to mark parts of code that need revisiting. I've gone through various settings, but I don't see anything relevant. Most of Google search is filled with attempts to silence the warnings instead of enabling them or wanting errors instead of warnings. Does anyone here know if it's possible for Xcode to display warnings from included packages and how to adjust such an option? Thanks!

I'm working on my first model that detects bowling score screens, and I have it working with pictures no problem. But when it comes to video, I have a sizing issue. I added my model to a small app I wrote for taking a picture of a Bowling Scoring Screen, where my model will frame the screens in the video feed from the camera. My model works, but my boxes are about 2/3 the size of the screens being detected. I don't understand the theory of the video stream the camera is feeding me. What I mean is that I don't want to make tweaks to the size of my rectangles by making them larger, and I'm not sure if the video feed is larger than what I'm detecting in code. Questions I have are like is the video feed a certain resolution like 1980x something, or a much higher resolution in the 12 megapixel range? On a static image of say 1920x something, My alignment is perfect. AI says that it's my model training, that I'm training on square images but video is 16:9. Or that I'm producing 4:3 images in a 16:9 environment. I'm missing something here but not sure what it is. I already wrote code to force it to fit, but reverted back to trying for a natural fit.

Hi, I’m developing a Matter commissioning flow and would like to clarify Apple Home’s support for concatenated (multi-device) QR codes. In my implementation, I generate a single QR code that contains multiple Matter onboarding payloads (concatenated payloads), intended to commission multiple devices in one scan, similar to a multi-pack / multi-accessory flow. What I’ve tested: Standard single-device Matter QR codes work as expected in the Apple Home app A concatenated QR code (multiple Matter payloads combined into one QR) does not get recognized / commissioned by Apple Home My questions: Does Apple Home officially support commissioning via concatenated or multi-device Matter QR codes? If yes, is there a specific payload format or delimiter that Apple Home expects? If not, is this a known limitation or something planned for future iOS/Home releases?

I am maintaining a PWA that utilizes WebSockets. In this app, after the web page is loaded from the server, JavaScript establishes a WebSocket connection. Because the app connects to a completely local server on a managed local network, we use http:// and ws:// (non-secure). The Issue: The app worked perfectly from older iOS versions up to iPadOS 18. However, during testing on iPadOS 26, we encountered an issue where the WebSocket connects successfully but is disconnected by the iPad approximately one second later. According to our packet captures, the iPad is sending a FIN packet to initiate the teardown. Additional Context: What makes this particularly confusing is that we have another server hosting the exact same PWA where the WebSocket connection stays stable even on iPadOS 26. This suggests it might not be a universal OS bug, but perhaps related to specific network conditions or a new security policy. Has anyone experienced similar behavior on iPadOS 26? Could this be a bug, or is there a new security restriction regarding non-secure WebSocket (ws://) connections in local networks? Are there any known changes in WebKit/Safari for iPadOS 26 that might cause the OS to send a FIN packet immediately after a handshake? I would appreciate any insights or suggestions on what might be causing this.

I failed to resize the icon image from instances of NSRunningApplication. I can only get 32×32 while I'm expecting 16×16. I felt it unintuitive in first minutes… Then I figured out that macOS menu seems not allowing many UI customizations (for stability?), especially in SwiftUI. What would be my best solution in SwiftUI? Must I write some boilerplate SwiftUI-AppKit bridging?

Hey there Are there any recommendations or guidance for apps on alternatives to certificate pinning to secure their device network traffic? I want to move away from the overhead and risk associated with rotating certificates when using leaf pinning. However, I also don't want people to be able to perform a MITM attack easily using something like Charles Proxy with a self‑signed certificate added to the trust store. My understanding is that an app cannot distinguish between user‑trusted certificates and system‑trusted certificates in the trust store, so it cannot block traffic that uses user‑trusted certificates.

Issue Description: When the snooze alarm and a set alarm share the same time, the behavior differs between locked and unlocked screen states. The current issue occurs when the screen is unlocked and the device is on the home screen before the alarm goes off: Alarm A is set for 17:23, and the snooze button is tapped when it rings. Alarm B is set for 17:25. At 17:25, Alarm B first vibrates and then rings (no buttons are pressed at this time). A few seconds later, it vibrates a second time. After that, the alarm becomes silent. If dynamic/notification alarms are disabled, the next scheduled alarm rings normally.

Hi all, I’m suddenly experiencing an old issue again and can no longer build my project to run on the local iOS simulator. I’m using a MacBook with an M1 (ARM64) processor and Xcode for development. Until recently, everything was working as expected. However, when I opened Xcode today, I noticed new build options such as ARM64 and ARM64 + x86_64, and I’m also seeing simulator entries running under Rosetta. I don’t recall seeing these options the last time I used Xcode. At the moment: Building for “Any iOS Device (arm64)” succeeds. Building for Rosetta-based simulators also succeeds (which I understand are intended for Intel-based processes). However, when I select an ARM64 simulator, the build fails with the error: “Framework Podd_App not found.” It appears that simulator builds targeting ARM64 are being restricted or misconfigured, possibly due to a corrupted setting or a recent update. Has anyone experienced this before, or can suggest which settings I should check to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I’ve attempted to enroll to the Apple developer program on January 5th where after I submitted my credit card info for payment I received an acknowledgment email In the email it says it’ll take up to 48 hours to process the payment it has been more than 2 weeks now and I received no response or activation email from apple throughout these 2 weeks I have attempted additional times to pay and contact support but even when sending a support ticket (which claims response in 2 business days) I didn’t get any response whatsoever am I doing something wrong? Is this common? please help 🙏🏻 thank you!

Hi everyone, I'm working on an app that stores multiple secrets in the Keychain, each protected with .userPresence. My goal is to authenticate the user once via FaceID/TouchID and then read multiple Keychain items without triggering subsequent prompts. I am reusing the same LAContext instance for these operations, and I have set: context.touchIDAuthenticationAllowableReuseDuration = LATouchIDAuthenticationMaximumAllowableReuseDuration However, I'm observing that every single SecItemCopyMatching call triggers a new FaceID/TouchID prompt, even if they happen within seconds of each other using the exact same context. Here is a simplified flow of what I'm doing: Create a LAContext. Set touchIDAuthenticationAllowableReuseDuration to max. Perform a query (SecItemCopyMatching) for Item A, passing [kSecUseAuthenticationContext: context]. Result: System prompts for FaceID. Success. Immediately perform a query (SecItemCopyMatching) for Item B, passing the same [kSecUseAuthenticationContext: context]. Result: System prompts for FaceID again. My question is: Does the .userPresence access control flag inherently force a new user interaction for every Keychain access, regardless of the LAContext reuse duration? Is allowableReuseDuration only applicable for LAContext.evaluatePolicy calls and not for SecItem queries? If so, is there a recommended pattern for "unlocking" a group of Keychain items with a single biometric prompt? Environment: iOS 17+, Swift. Thanks!

I have been waiting for several months now for my enrollment to finish processing. I have reached out several times and was told that a new group is handling enrollment and there is no way to reach them. How can this issue be escalated??

Hi everyone — I’m hoping to get a quick technical sanity check from folks familiar with Apple’s satellite features. I’ve put together a very narrowly scoped request around the temporary enablement of existing iPhone satellite capabilities (Emergency SOS / Messages via Satellite), focused on a simple “check-in” use case. The idea is intentionally minimal: preset status messages only (e.g. “I’m safe”, “I need help”) optional one-time location sharing strict rate limits temporary enablement with a clear sunset date This isn’t a request for new features, internet access, voice, or emergency-service integration — it’s framed as a configuration/policy enablement using systems Apple already operates. I’ve documented the full scope and assumptions here Posting mainly to invite technical review, correction, or perspective from anyone familiar with how the satellite stack is structured today. Appreciate any insights.

I am getting this error when I try to show device activity report view by this DeviceActivityReport(appsContext, filter: filter) Attempt to map database failed: permission was denied. This attempt will not be retried. I have taken access by this way. AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .individual)

I'm sending local push notifications and want to show specific content based on the id of any notification the user opens. I'm able to do this with no issues when the app is already running in the background using the code below. final class AppDelegate: NSObject, UIApplicationDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate { let container = AppContainer() func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]? = nil) -> Bool { let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current() center.delegate = self return true } func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: () -> Void) { container.notifications.handleResponse(response) completionHandler() } } However, the delegate never fires if the app was terminated before the user taps the notification. I'm looking for a way to fix this without switching my app lifecycle to UIKit. This is a SwiftUI lifecycle app using UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor. @main struct MyApp: App { @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(AppDelegate.self) var appDelegate var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } } } I’m aware notification responses may be delivered via launchOptions on cold start, but I’m unsure how to bridge that cleanly into a SwiftUI lifecycle app without reverting to UIKit.

Brand new to app development and marketing and preparing to launch my app on both the App Store and Google Play Store soon I understand ASO is a strong approach for organic growth and would appreciate any tools services or practical advice on how to do ASO efficiently and effectively

I can't see that capability, anyone knows why..? does it have to be a paid developer account?

Hi, we've been developing an XR application for Apple Vision Pro which has worked fine so far. Now that the SDKs have updated to 26.2 (for Xcode and AVP versions) we've run into an error that prevents the app from launching. I get the following error when running the application in the AVP Simulator (building for destination Apple Vision Pro (26.2), and my colleague gets the same error when building for the device itself and launching there. BUG IN CLIENT: For mixed reality experiences please use cp_drawable_compute_projection API Type: Error | Timestamp: 2026-01-13 09:21:57.242191+02:00 | Process: My XR App | Library: CompositorNonUI | TID: 0x75e2c (copied with "all metadata") How can we debug this further? The error in the console doesn't seem to give any stack trace or clear pointer to the code which relates to it. I've tried searching for CompositorNonUI, but that doesn't yield any results in our project (nor Google nor the Apple developer forums). There is one post in the forum that has a similar error (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/788500?answerId=845039022#845039022) but searching in our project and it's dependencies, we don't seem to use ".tangent" anywhere either. Any help in either debugging to find more details on where the issue happens or pointers to fixing it much appreciated, thanks!

Hi all, I have setup my app to use SwiftData with CloudKit sync. I have a production environment and development environment. I can reset the development environment for myself and all users in CloudKit console, but I can't reset the production one as it's tried to users' iCloud accounts, so I've added a button in-app for that feature. In the onboarding of my app, I pre-seed the DB with some default objects, which should be persisted between app install. The issue I'm running into is that I'm unable to force-pull these models from iCloud during the onboarding of a clean re-install, which leads to the models later appearing as duplicates once the user has been on the app for a few minutes and it has pulled from their iCloud account. If anyone has any suggestions on how to handle this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

I have published a number of games under my account so far (before I let my account expire and 2 since I reactivated it) but now that I want to update my latest app I am told I can't submit it for review because my tax information is not up to date Looking at the missing info I see they want my VAT ID. That is the only thing missing on my account. Problem is that I am not a company and thus don't have a VAT ID. Now what? Does this mean I can never publish or update any app on iStore ever again until I change over to a business account and somehow make R50,000 outside of the App Store??? I am honestly stumped and don't know what to do :( Here in South Africa you are required to get a VAT ID if you earned over R1,000,000 in 12 months but you are allowed to voluntarily apply for a VAT ID once you earned over R50,000 for the year. In both cases, though, you have to be a company to apply. Individuals have to use their Tax Reference Number in place of a VAT ID whenever a VAT ID is required. So I try to use my TRN with App Store Connect and it just says my TRN is not valid. I copy paste it directly from the South African Revenue Services website to App Store Connect so it is absolutely correct and yet, Apple is saying "Nope, we don't like that number. Choose another one". So what do I do? 🤷
