Hello, The new mental health features in iOS 17 allow users to log their momentary emotions and daily moods, see valuable insights, and easily access assessments and resources. Does anyone know if HealthKit in iOS 17 provides an API for accessing these records? Thanks :)

My app features two kinds of widgets, let's call them kind A and kind B. I have both A and B widgets on my Home Screen. When I tap the button on widget A (associated with App Intent), I expect widget B to also reload. However, if you call WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() inside the perform() method of the AppIntent, the timeline of widget B does not reload immediately. This issue only occurs on a physical device and is not consistently reproducible. On a simulator, however, widget B reloads as expected. FB13152293

Hello, I noticed that the layout of compact Dynamic Island on iOS 17 is incorrect. The edge of the circle shape is unable to be aligned with the edge of Dynamic Island. However, the layout in Xcode Preview is just perfect. And this is also the same layout on previous iOS 16: If you try to workaround the issue by adding an offset to the view, it will be cropped by a misaligned circle.

Hello! The WidgetBundleBuilder always crash on iOS 17 if there is a #available(iOS 18.0, *) check in the WidgetBundle body. I remember there was a compiler bug (something related to type hoisting) in the past, but that was fixed. This time the bug seems to be in the implementation of the result build itself.

I just discovered that I can no longer download any artifacts from Xcode Cloud, whether from newly built workflows or previous ones. When I try to download in Xcode, it crashes immediately. When downloading from App Store Connect, it redirects to an HTML page with the following content. {"message":"You are not authorized to access this team’s resources."} I've already tried re-logging into my Apple account. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

I found that watchOS 9.2 seems to break the complicationForeground() modifier. In previous systems, a View modified by complicationForeground() was rendered white, while an unmodified View was rendered with the watch face tint color. This is the correct behavior. However, in watchOS 9.2, this behavior has been reversed. The View modified by complicationForeground() renders the tint color, and the opposite is white‽ This causes third-party complications to look very inconsistent on tinted watch faces. Of course, this issue belongs to ClockKit, and I'm not sure if there are similar issues in the new WidgetKit. Will this issue be fixed please?

Xcode 15 and iOS 17 now adds extra padding to widget content, which is inconsistent with iOS 16. Run on iOS 16: Same code run on iOS 17, with extra paddings: struct WidgetView : View { var entry: Provider.Entry var body: some View { LicenseView(entry: entry) .background(Color("WidgetBackground")) .modifier { if #available(iOS 17.0, *) { $0.containerBackground(for: .widget) { Color.white // to highlight the padding on iOS 17 } } else { $0 } } } }

Hello! I'm trying to donate an Intent to iOS using IntentDonationManager, following the methods described in the documentaion. try await IntentDonationManager.shared.donate(intent: MyIntent()) // succeeded However, I'm not seeing any effect of this action anywhere in the system (iOS 17 and 16). I have debugged it on both the simulator and a physical device, and I have also enabled the "Display Recent Shortcuts" toggle in the developer settings, but I still don't see any relevant suggestions appearing. Similarly, the issue also occurs with the old SiriKit framework, where INInteraction.donate(completion:) doesn't seem to have any observable effect. I recall that in iOS 15, the simulator would immediately present the donated Shortcut action on the lock screen and Spotlight page. However, starting from iOS 16 and continuing to the current iOS 17 beta 1/2, I haven't been able to achieve the same behavior using the same code. Another similar report: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/723109 So is there any way to test or verify the results of this donation action?

Hello, I'd like to ask a very fundamental question about JSONEncoder: how to sort keys in a specific order when encoding a dictionary to JSON text? I know there is an option called JSONEncoder.OutputFormatting.sortedKeys, but it sorts the keys only in lexicographic order. I want to sort the keys using a different comparator, such as String.localizedStandardCompare(_:), which achieves the "Finder-like" order. The reason why I ask this question is because I have a localization tool that works with String Catalog (xcstrings file, which is a JSON), but every time my tool serializes an xcstrings file, it always messes up the keys in lexicographic order (I used JSONEncoder + .sortedKeys). Meanwhile, Xcode 16 always serializes the string keys into the "Finder-like" order. As a result, my tool always generates a huge diff when manipulating the xcstrings even when making only a small modification to it. So I am wondering how Xcode 16 implements the String Catalog tool to serialize the JSON in "Finder-like" order. It would be great if JSONEncoder could do that too. Or, maybe I can use another serialization method to implement this behavior?

Hello, I noticed that SFSpeechRecognizer is broken on iOS 18. During a recognition task, it keeps dropping the recognized text on every pause. For example, if you say "how are you fine", it will drop the "how are you" part and only give you "fine" as the result. Say "how are you <pause> fine" // iOS 17 ✅ (perfect final result) How How are How are you How are you. How are you. Fine. // iOS 18 ❌ How How are How are you How are you Fine (the text before the pause is dropped, and fail to recognize the punctuations.) Reproducing the issue: Download the official sample project. Run it on an iOS 18 device or simulator. Say "how are you fine" Only "fine" will be displayed.

Hi everyone! My Apple Watch app has relied for years on the WKApplication.scheduleBackgroundRefresh(...) method to keep the app updated in the background. The system would reliably trigger WKApplicationDelegate.handle(_:), where I would then schedule the next refresh task (usually 15 minutes later). As stated in the documentation, as long as there is a complication on the watch face, these background tasks should run at a relatively stable frequency. However, this approach seems to have stopped working on watchOS 26. I no longer receive any WKApplicationRefreshBackgroundTask at all. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I have a new Xcode project, and the git repository for this project contains a submodule. When I try to grant access to this submodule, App Store Connect refreshes the page directly due to an error encountered. The grant is not successful. When I open the browser's Inspector, I can see that there are some requests in Network with 503 errors. I suspect that it is these errors that are causing the page to refresh. This git submodule is working fine in my other Xcode Cloud projects, which I used to be able to configure properly. But not anymore, this new project's Xcode Cloud is not working at all because of this issue. Reported: FB11548470

In Xcode 15 beta 3 and beta 4, if you add a AppShortcuts.xcstrings catalog or legacy AppShortcuts.strings files to the project, the project will always fail to build due to the following error. error: Unable to call validation: The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format. (in target 'LearnAppShortcuts' from project 'LearnAppShortcuts') Command ValidateAppShortcutStringsMetadata emitted errors but did not return a nonzero exit code to indicate failure The error seems related to a cli called ValidateAppShortcutStringsMetadata. Reproducing Steps (1) In Xcode 15 beta 3/4, create a new iOS app project. (2) Add an arbitrary AppIntent and AppShortcutsProvider. import AppIntents struct MyAction: AppIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "My Action" func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { return .result() } } struct MyAppShortcts: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut(intent: MyAction(), phrases: [ "Perform action with \(.applicationName)" ], shortTitle: "Perform My Action", systemImageName: "heart") } } (3) Create a new AppShortcuts.xcstrings catalog file and add it to the iOS target (4) Build the project. The string catalog will be updated as expected. However, the build will fail.

In Xcode 15 beta 6, I found that when building visionOS apps, #if os(iOS) is no longer considered part of the project. This behavior is different from beta 1 to beta 5. Is this intentional? This change has caused third-party dependencies that use #if os(iOS) and have not yet explicitly supported visionOS to fail to compile. Is there a way to switch back to the old behavior? After all, requiring all third-party dependencies to explicitly support visionOS is quite difficult.

Hello! My app supports iOS and visionOS in a single target. But when I preview the app on iOS device/simulator, an error occurred: The RealityKitContent.rkassets is located in my RealityKitContent package that is linked on visionOS. It seems that Xcode Preview is ignoring the link settings and attempt to build RealityKitContent.rkassets on iOS. Reproduce Steps: Clone my demo project at https://github.com/gongzhang/rkassets-preview-issue-demo Build the app for iOS (success) Preview ContentView.swift (failed due to RealityKitContent.rkassets issue)
