I've been seeing a high number of BGTaskScheduler related crashes, all of them coming from iOS 18.4. I've encountered this myself once on launch upon installing my app, but haven't been able to reproduce it since, even after doing multiple relaunches and reinstalls. Crash report attached at the bottom of this post. I am not even able to symbolicate the reports despite having the archive on my MacBook: Does anyone know if this is an iOS 18.4 bug or am I doing something wrong when scheduling the task? Below is my code for scheduling the background task on the view that appears when my app launches: .onChange(of: scenePhase) { newPhase in if newPhase == .active { #if !os(macOS) let request = BGAppRefreshTaskRequest(identifier: "notifications") request.earliestBeginDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .hour, value: 3, to: Date()) do { try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request) Logger.notifications.log("Background task scheduled. Earliest begin date: \(request.earliestBeginDate?.description ?? "nil", privacy: .public)") } catch let error { // print("Scheduling Error \(error.localizedDescription)") Logger.notifications.error("Error scheduling background task: \(error.localizedDescription, privacy: .public)") } #endif ... } 2025-02-23_19-53-50.2294_+0000-876d2b8ec083447af883961da90398f00562f781.crash

I have been experimenting with the BGContinuedProcessingTask API recently (and published sample code for it https://github.com/infinitepower18/BGContinuedProcessingTaskDemo) I have noticed that if I lock the phone, the code that runs as part of the task stops executing. My sample code simply updates the progress each second until it gets to 100, so it should be completed in 1 minute 40 seconds. However, after locking the phone and checking the lock screen a few seconds later the progress indicator was in the same position as before I locked it. If I leave the phone locked for several minutes and check the lock screen the live activity says "Task failed". I haven't seen anything in the documentation regarding execution of tasks while the phone is locked. So I'm a bit confused if I encountered an iOS bug here?

I noticed I can no longer view the last 24 hours in sales and trends, the option has been replaced with “Yesterday” which shows nothing. Is this intentional or a bug?

I am seeing blank data after 4am when viewing the last 24 hours graph. I remember a while ago it showed me data past 4am but now the graph is suddenly showing no data after 4am. Are there any issues with the data shown on sales and trends at the moment?

CloudKit was working perfectly in iOS 16. However after updating to iOS 17 RC on my devices iCloud sync no longer works properly. The app has a package called CloudKitSyncMonitor which shows the sync status. Normally it would say Synced with iCloud but on iOS 17 it is either stuck in the Syncing or Sync not started state and the data doesn’t update. This mostly happens after a reinstall of the app. After some time it randomly decides to work until I uninstall the app. I’m really confused what could be the problem if it was working fine on iOS 16 but barely works properly on iOS 17? This is currently the code I have for the DataController: import SwiftUI import CoreData class DataController { var container: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer @AppStorage(wrappedValue:true,"syncEnabled",store:UserDefaults(suiteName: "group.com.ip18.SubManager")) var syncEnabled static let shared = DataController() init() { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "Subscriptions") load(syncEnabled: syncEnabled) } func load(syncEnabled: Bool = true) { container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "Subscriptions") let url = URL.storeURL(for: "group.com.ip18.SubManager", databaseName: "Subscriptions") let storeDescription = NSPersistentStoreDescription(url:url) if syncEnabled { storeDescription.cloudKitContainerOptions = NSPersistentCloudKitContainerOptions(containerIdentifier: "iCloud.com.ip18.SubManager") } else { storeDescription.cloudKitContainerOptions = nil } let remoteChangeKey = "NSPersistentStoreRemoteChangeNotificationOptionKey" storeDescription.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: remoteChangeKey) storeDescription.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey) container.persistentStoreDescriptions = [storeDescription] container.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true /* // Only initialize the schema when building the app with the // Debug build configuration. #if DEBUG do { // Use the container to initialize the development schema. try container.initializeCloudKitSchema(options: []) } catch { // Handle any errors. } #endif */ container.loadPersistentStores(completionHandler: {(storeDescription,error) in if let error = error as NSError? { fatalError("Unresolved error \(error)") } }) } }

I'm trying to disable Writing Tools for a specific TextField using .writingToolsBehavior(.disabled), but when running the app on my iPhone 16 Pro with Apple Intelligence enabled, I can still use Writing Tools on the text box. I also see no difference with .writingToolsBehavior(.limited). Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this a bug? Sample code below: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var text = "" var body: some View { VStack { TextField("Enter Text", text: $text) .writingToolsBehavior(.disabled) } .padding() } } #Preview { ContentView() }

On macOS 15.4 beta 2 (24E5222f), the back button is not visible when navigating from a view with no toolbar to a view with a toolbar button. The back button is visible on macOS 15.3.1 and earlier versions. Also, the toolbar button shown when run on macOS 15.4 beta 2 is truncated. This is how it looks on macOS 15.4 beta 2: And this is how it looks on macOS 15.3.1 and earlier: Feedback ID: FB16743834

I've been trying to upload my app to the App Store with Xcode 16.3 RC but I keep getting these error messages. When will Apple start allowing Xcode 16.3 submissions?

I have ported my app to visionOS but have not been able to get alternate app icons working using UIApplication.shared.setAlternateIconName. I remember many months ago when I ran the iPad app directly, changing the app icon worked but I never managed to get it to work for native visionOS apps. Is this not supported for apps compiled natively for visionOS?

I used to be able to show my app's icon in the UI using this code: if let icon = UIImage(named: "AppIcon") { Image(uiImage: icon) .resizable() .frame(width: 64, height: 64) .cornerRadius(10) } But this doesn't work when building with Xcode 16 and iOS 18 SDK. How can I show my app's icon in the UI without resorting to duplicating the asset?

In iOS 18, internal extension pages cannot navigate to external webpages, either via href links or through JS methods such as window.location.replace. Nothing happens when you try to navigate to an external webpage. Only other internal pages can be navigated to. This wasn't an issue on previous versions of iOS. It would be appreciated if this can be fixed as soon as possible. Feedback ID: FB14194963

I don't have any Apple TV apps. Somehow, I see a few downloads of my app on Apple TV. As far as I understand, Apple TV cannot run anything other than apps made for the tvOS platform. So I'm confused why I'm seeing this in my analytics.

I'm trying to create a price change for one of my in app purchases, but every time I try to save it the website keeps saying an error has occurred. If I check my browser's console I see the below error output: { "errors": [{ "status": "500", "code": "UNEXPECTED_ERROR", "title": "An unexpected error occurred.", "detail": "An unexpected error occurred on the server side. If this issue continues, contact us at https://developer.apple.com/contact/." }] } Please fix this ASAP.

On macOS 26 I can see the dividers when I open my Help menu: However, on iPadOS 26 the dividers don't appear: I am simply using Divider() to separate my menu bar items in my CommandGroup. iPadOS does support dividers as I can see them for the system generated Edit menu but for some reason it's not working here. Does anyone know if I am doing something wrong with the iPadOS implementation?

I've been testing the offer code feature for my non consumable in app purchase using a sandbox account, with sandbox offer codes and in the sandbox environment. However, the codes don't appear to work despite everything being in the sandbox. Any idea what I'm missing?
