CallKit - CallDirectory extension - Added data by addIdentificationEntry
The app I'm making uses the CallDirectory extension to identify callers. Where is the contact data added by "func addIdentificationEntry" in "CallDirectory Extension" stored? The app calls "CXCallDirectoryManager.sharedInstance.reloadExtension" and adds contact data by processing "CXCallDirectoryExtensionContext.addIdentificationEntry" written in "func beginRequest" of "CallDirectory Extension". I thought that if I uninstalled the app, I would lose the contact data that added by App. However, when I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, it seemed to retain contact data that added by App before I uninstalled the app, even though the app hasn't added any contact data yet. Will the contact data added to the "CallDirectory Extension" be retained on iPhone even after uninstalling the app? ---Note--- I found a similar post on the forum about contact data added by addIdentificationEntry. ・CallKit - addIdentificationEntry is it secure? [https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/662182] Answer of this post that "the added data is cached in a SQLite database", but I couldn't find any official Apple documentation on this, so I'm not sure if this is correct. If contact data is cached in SQLite, will that data remain on the iPhone when uninstalled and not deleted? ●Development environment Mac OS Sonoma 14.7.1 Xcode 16.0 Swift ●Test Device iPhoneSE3 iOS:17.6.1

App Suddenly Not Working on iOS 18
Hello - I have an older app on the store, iAchieved, that suddenly stopped working properly on iOS 18. You can see it on the store, here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/iachieved/id1069338478 It still opens runs, and I can try to enter a new item, but something is wrong with the date, so that the "Done" button does not appear. And since it does not, I cannot tap it and create the item. I'm not a developer, I don't code, I only designed the app and had someone build it for me. But, if you can put it in layman's terms, any idea what's causing this? Thanks so much for any insight you can provide, -- David

Caller ID is truncated on IOS 18
We use call directory extension in one of our applications, we notice that call id is truncated on IOS 18. Example: "Grady GmbH" instead of "GRADY ARCHIE, PRICEWATERHOUSECOOPER GMBH" We notice also if we have calls in the history then the caller id is shown correctly. Issue only on IOS 18.

disambiguation option response not heard
When I create a list of 6 options for disambiguation, option 5 is ignored by Siri. For example, I have the following code to resolve one of my parameters for a custom intent. When this code executes, Siri reads off the Disambiguation Prompt in the Intents Definition. Then it displays the options shown below. However, if you respond to the prompt with "No" or "No change it", the response is completely ignored. The resolve method is not even called with anything. But if you respond with "Yes continue" or "Yes I'm done", the resolve method is called and I can process the chosen option. Does this seem like a bug or am I missing something? Does it have anything to do with the Intent Definition for this parameter having Paginate every ___ items set to 6? NSMutableArray *options; options = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init]; NSString *anOption = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@ myList", intent.partsListName]; // option 1 [options addObject:anOption]; anOption = @"option 1"; [options addObject:anOption]; anOption = @"option 2"; [options addObject:anOption]; anOption = @"option 3"; [options addObject:anOption]; anOption = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Yes, continue"]; // option 4 [options addObject:anOption]; // Option 5 anOption = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"No, change it"]; [options addObject:anOption]; // Option 6 anOption = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Yes, I'm done"]; [options addObject:anOption]; completion([INStringResolutionResult disambiguationWithStringsToDisambiguate:[options copy]]);

CallKit Keeps Terminating
Hello, I am currently developing a call service using CallKit and VoIP push. Recently, I have encountered a very challenging issue. During testing, when a VoIP push is received, the incomingCall gets triggered continuously, but then it automatically terminates after about 1-2 seconds. I am checking this issue under the debug scheme, and even when switching to different commits, the same problem persists. I suspect it might be an issue with the device, but I would like to confirm the cause and find a solution. Below are some characteristics I have noticed: On this device, when a VoIP push is received, CallKit automatically terminates, but this does not occur when debugging. The issue always occurs when not debugging. Looking at the device console logs related to callservicesd, there are many logs with 'invalidate' appended. For example: Invalidating process assertion for bundle ID from timeout All calls ended. Clearing system uplink muted cache Invalidate callDurationUpdateTimer InCallService has changed process state to 2 InCallService has been suspended; invalidating its XPC client connections. [0x565544180] invalidated because the current process cancelled the connection by calling xpc_connection_cancel() XPC connection invalidated from client These logs appear although our server did not receive any incoming call request, so we did not terminate it on our end. I also checked if there was a crash, but there were no reports left on the device. Could you please share any insights into the cause or solutions for this situation? Thank you.

Open UIViewController when QR Code is scanned
Hi developers, I have a question if it is possible to open in my application not main window but a specific ViewController, when application is installed but not running. When the application is running in background and I scan QR code, then specific ViewController is opened over SceneDelegate and method 'userActivity'. But this does not work when the application is only installed, but not running. The Appstore link is here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/don%C3%A1tor/id6473955033

access to contact creation and modification dates
Hi! I am moving a contact management app (Contact Clearout) to CNContactStore. For users to have full info when choosing between duplicates they need the creation and modification dates. I don't want to have to use an extra access to ABAddressBook just to get these and I can see they are on the CNContact objects. How to do I get these values? Thanks

ShieldActionExtention not calling code or printing to console
I'm using ShieldActionExtention to make a HTTP request to a server when a user selects one of the buttons on their app shield. The apps are shielded, but nothing happens when I press one of the shield buttons. There is no message on the server signaling an HTTP request and nothing is printed to the XCode console while in debug mode. Here is my code for my Shield Action Extention // ShieldActionExtension.swift // ShieldAction // // import Foundation import UIKit import SwiftUI import ManagedSettings // Override the functions below to customize the shield actions used in various situations. // The system provides a default response for any functions that your subclass doesn't override. // Make sure that your class name matches the NSExtensionPrincipalClass in your Info.plist. class ShieldActionExtension: ShieldActionDelegate { override func handle(action: ShieldAction, for application: ApplicationToken, completionHandler: @escaping (ShieldActionResponse) -> Void) { print(action) let deviceID = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: UserDefaultKeys.userID.rawValue)! Task{ do{ print("sending to server") try await PlayerLosesGame(playerID: deviceID) completionHandler(.close) } catch { print("error occured on the shield") completionHandler(.none) } } } override func handle(action: ShieldAction, for webDomain: WebDomainToken, completionHandler: @escaping (ShieldActionResponse) -> Void) { print(action) let deviceID = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: UserDefaultKeys.userID.rawValue)! Task{ do{ print("sending to server") try await PlayerLosesGame(playerID: deviceID) completionHandler(.close) } catch { print("error occured on the shield") completionHandler(.none) } } } override func handle(action: ShieldAction, for category: ActivityCategoryToken, completionHandler: @escaping (ShieldActionResponse) -> Void) { print(action) let deviceID = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: UserDefaultKeys.userID.rawValue)! Task{ do{ print("sending to server") try await PlayerLosesGame(playerID: deviceID) completionHandler(.close) } catch { print("error occured on the shield") completionHandler(.none) } } //completionHandler(.close) } func PlayerLosesGame(playerID: String) async throws{ let url = URL(string: ServerConnection.GetWebsite() + "game/find?playerID="+playerID)! var request = URLRequest(url: url) request.httpMethod = "GET" print("trying this out") let (data, _) = try await URLSession.shared.data(for: request) } } I believe all my targets are set up correctly and should be working. Why is nothing happening?

DeviceActivityReportExtension / ScreenTimeBriefReport does not localize strings
Hello, In one of our apps we use DeviceActivityReportExtension to show the user how much screen time is remaining. The calculation is working as expected, but we have noticed that the labels in our ScreenTimeBriefReport are not localized to the device language. Example: Device with language set to Swedish App fully translated to English and Swedish Result: All labels in app are using the Swedish translations, except the strings in our ScreenTimeBriefReport instance. These labels are using the English localization. I've verified it's using the English localization from our Localizable.xcstrings file. I tried logging device language from our ScreenTimeBriefReport instance, but I could not see anything in Console.app. I guess this is intentional so no sensitive user information can be extracted. Is this a known feature or bug? If it's the latter, is there a known workaround? Sincerely, César

Screen Time issues after transferring App developer account ownership
After transferring the App ownership to a different account, if you update the app on iOS, two identical apps will show up in Settings > Screen Time. Users can't control the blocking settings from before the update - the only fix is to restart the phone. After the next execution of manageStore.shield.applications, users still can't manually disable the restrictions - their only option is to uninstall and reinstall the app. I believe this is related to how Screen Time API's authentication works - it's not just tied to the app's bundle ID, but also linked to the developer account's organization ID. Any suggestions for a clean solution that would allow smooth app updates after the transfer without running into these issues?

How can I create a AppIntent with SwiftData correctly?
I currently create a AppIntent that contains a custom AppEntity, it shows like this struct GetTimerIntent: AppIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Get Timer" @Parameter(title: "Timer") var timer: TimerEntity func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { .result(value: timerText(timer.entity)) } static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary { Summary("Get time of \(\.$timer)") } func timerText(_ timer: ETimer) -> String { // Implementation Folded } } struct TimerEntity: AppEntity { var entity: ETimer static let defaultQuery: TimerQuery = .init() static var typeDisplayRepresentation: TypeDisplayRepresentation { TypeDisplayRepresentation(name: "Timer") } var id: UUID { entity.identifier } var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation { DisplayRepresentation(title: "\(entity.title)") } } To get the timers, I create a TimerQuery type to fetch them from SwiftData containers. struct TimerQuery: EntityQuery, Sendable { func entities(for identifiers: [UUID]) async throws -> [TimerEntity] { print(identifiers) let context = ModelContext(ModelMigration.sharedContainer) let descriptor = FetchDescriptor<ETimer>( predicate: #Predicate { identifiers.contains($0.identifier) }, sortBy: [.init(\.index)] ) let timers = try context.fetch(descriptor) print(timers.map(\.title)) return timers.map { TimerEntity(entity: $0) } } } Everything looks make sense since I code it. When I'm testing, the console jump No ConnectionContext found for 105553169752832 and I can't get my datas. How can I solve this issue?

WeatherKit - Forecast Issue Time
Hi There, My app displays both daily and hourly forecast information, as consumed from the Weatherkit API. I would also like to let my users know when the forecast was generated/issued. The reason being, if a forecast was issued 1-2 hours in the past for example, then the user(s) will know to refresh the weather forecast for the latest information soon. Looking through the docs, I don't see any way of accessing this information. I would expect it to be available on the hourlyForecast.metadata property. Does anyone know if it's possible to obtain the 'issued time' of the forecast? (both hourly and daily). Thanks

Lockscreen widget error
I am trying to create a lockscreen widget that is a deepink to a page in my app, but I am getting an error once building the widget itself (building the app works). Currently, the app is on my phone as well as the widget on my lockscreen, but the widget only goes to either my homepage or the page I was last on if the app wasn't fully closed.

Troubles with CFBundleDocumentTypes and photos
I'm working on adding CFBundleDocumentTypes to my Info.plist so that a user can share an image from other apps on their device and have it open inside my iPhone app. I seem to be able to get this to work for sharing a single photo from the Photos app, but not for (1) multiple photos from the Photos app or (2) images from Safari. One thing that makes this difficult is that my changes to Info.plist sometimes have no effect. I can remove CFBundleDocumentTypes and still see the icon, for example. Or I can add a new accepted UTI, but it has no effect. I've tried cleaning and rebuilding, deleting and reinstalling the app...no success. I tried in the simulator, too, and even Erase Content and Settings didn't force changes to be applied. I'm not sure what else to try here. Anyway, I'd like my app to appear in the Share sheet for photo(s) from the Photos app, Mail and Safari, in particular, but really from any app that supports sharing photos. I can share the config that seemed to work, but since changing it doesn't always have an effect, I can't guarantee that this was the one that worked. At the moment, it doesn't work, but I'm not sure why. Here it is: &lt;key&gt;CFBundleDocumentTypes&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;dict&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleTypeIconFiles&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array/&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleTypeName&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Image&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;CFBundleTypeRole&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Viewer&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;LSHandlerRank&lt;/key&gt; &lt;string&gt;Alternate&lt;/string&gt; &lt;key&gt;LSItemContentTypes&lt;/key&gt; &lt;array&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.data&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.jpeg&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.png&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.image&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.gif&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.url&lt;/string&gt; &lt;string&gt;public.content&lt;/string&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;/dict&gt; &lt;/array&gt; &lt;key&gt;LSSupportsOpeningDocumentsInPlace&lt;/key&gt; &lt;true/&gt; In my code, I also defined the following method in my SceneDelegate (though I think the problem is just with Info.plist): func scene(_ scene: UIScene, openURLContexts URLContexts: Set&lt;UIOpenURLContext&gt;) { Here are my questions: How do I make sure that my changes to Info.plist apply? Is there a cache somewhere that I have to force to clear? This is the trickiest part of this, because I can't reliably try an experiment and see if it worked. Adding the specific image UTI’s (public.jpeg, public.png) seemed to help, even though those types should conform to public.image, which conforms to public.data and public.content. Is it actually necessary to specify those? If the user selects multiple photos in the Photos app, my app doesn’t appear, but other third-party apps on my phone do. How can I support multiple photos? This configuration doesn't reliably show my app for Safari images - what do I need to do to make that happen? I had to use “public.data” when I briefly had Safari sharing working, but there doesn't seem to be a way to get a UTI from UIOpenURLContext. Right now, my code just tries to load the data as an image and aborts if UIImage(data:) returns nil. Is this a safe way of doing this? Is there a way to get the UTI for the data?

Critical SKAdNetwork Attribution
Subject/Title: Critical SKAdNetwork Attribution Failures (Bug Type: 237, Failure Type: 1201 in ASDErrorDomain) Issue Summary We are encountering repeated SKAdNetwork attribution failures (failureType: 1201 in ASDErrorDomain) for ad impression events processed through the ad network mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork. These failures are causing significant revenue losses, as ad impressions are not being properly attributed to installs. The issue occurs across multiple campaigns and involves both SKAdNetwork API 3.0 and 4.0, suggesting a systemic problem with attribution validation or network communication. This problem is critical as it disrupts advertisers’ ability to track conversions, optimize campaigns, and allocate budgets effectively. Technical Details Key Logs: Below are anonymized samples of the failed SKAdNetwork events: Log Sample 1 (Failure): { "bug_type": "237", "timestamp": "2025-01-07 22:49:15.00 -0500", "os_version": "iPhone OS 18.2.1 (22C161)", "roots_installed": 0, "incident_id": "78523BD9-1F58-4738-B526-8A8A63203214" } { "advertisementStoryId": "3D2E7EBB-1A57-4DF8-9375-2C465F423038", "apiVersion": "3.0", "eventType": "adImpression", "resultType": "finalized", "anonymous": true, "failureType": 1201, "failureDomain": "ASDErrorDomain", "clientEventId": "0F456623-584F-4913-BBD3-C3FD1219D104", "os": "iOS", "topic": "xp_amp_skad_perf", "adType": "app", "adNetworkId": "mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork", "eventTime": 1736305200000, "osBuildNumber": "22C161", "hardwareFamily": "iPhone", "api": "SKAdNetwork" } Log Sample 2 (Failure): { "bug_type": "237", "timestamp": "2025-01-07 22:49:15.00 -0500", "os_version": "iPhone OS 18.2.1 (22C161)", "roots_installed": 0, "incident_id": "0CBF612D-F0D9-449E-A34E-DE2DB92BEC0D" } { "advertisementStoryId": "946E568C-D2C1-478F-BFF3-4996C48F9B39", "apiVersion": "3.0", "eventType": "adImpression", "resultType": "finalized", "anonymous": true, "failureType": 1201, "failureDomain": "ASDErrorDomain", "clientEventId": "1A3D48FB-4452-4FD8-BB25-1195470A53DC", "os": "iOS", "topic": "xp_amp_skad_perf", "adType": "app", "adNetworkId": "mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork", "eventTime": 1736298000000, "osBuildNumber": "22C161", "hardwareFamily": "iPhone", "api": "SKAdNetwork" } Log Sample 3 (Success Example for Comparison): { "bug_type": "237", "timestamp": "2025-01-07 22:49:15.00 -0500", "os_version": "iPhone OS 18.2.1 (22C161)", "roots_installed": 0, "incident_id": "BFEAC86B-8195-4DB0-96FF-2028107256AD" } { "advertisementStoryId": "946E568C-D2C1-478F-BFF3-4996C48F9B39", "apiVersion": "3.0", "eventType": "adImpression", "resultType": "finalized", "anonymous": true, "clientEventId": "F6265488-E0FB-448A-A406-3F7254BCA9D7", "os": "iOS", "topic": "xp_amp_skad_perf", "adType": "app", "adNetworkId": "mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork", "eventTime": 1736294400000, "osBuildNumber": "22C161", "hardwareFamily": "iPhone", "api": "SKAdNetwork" } Failure Details: Failure Type: 1201 Failure Domain: ASDErrorDomain Ad Network ID: mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork API Versions Affected: 3.0, 4.0 Timeframe of Failures: All logs occur within 2025-01-07 22:00:00 UTC to 23:00:00 UTC. Environment: OS Version: iOS 18.2.1 (Build 22C161). Device Type: iPhone (hardwareFamily: iPhone). App Configuration: Includes the ad network ID in the Info.plist under SKAdNetworkItems. Impact Details Financial Loss: Based on failure rates, we estimate $20–$65/day per advertiser for small campaigns and $75–$375/day per advertiser for larger campaigns. If 100 advertisers are affected, daily losses range from $2,000–$37,500. Over a week, losses could exceed $70,000 to $262,500 or more. Operational Impact: Advertisers cannot track installs or optimize campaigns, leading to inefficient ad spending and potential budget reallocation to other networks. Damaged trust between advertisers and the ad network. Reputation Risk: Continued failures harm the credibility of the SKAdNetwork framework, critical in a post-ATT (App Tracking Transparency) ecosystem. Steps to Reproduce Serve an ad impression through the ad network mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork. Monitor SKAdNetwork attribution for that impression. Observe repeated failures (failureType: 1201) despite the resultType: finalized status. Recommendations for Investigation Attribution Timeout: Verify if these failures stem from delayed responses or missed attribution windows. Ad Network Configuration: Confirm the ad network’s integration complies with SKAdNetwork API 3.0 and 4.0 requirements. Infrastructure Review: Investigate potential bottlenecks or failures in Apple’s attribution servers (ASDErrorDomain) or communication delays.

How to get the real app language code + variation?
Hello, I have the app localised to many languages and its variants, like English from Australia or Dutch from Belgium. My phone language is en_UK and the region is configured to ES. I cannot find a way to get the regional language code (ex: en_au, nl_be), it always gets simplified to the language (ex: en, nl), or adds my device region (ex: en-ES, nl-ES). Here I attach some examples while I have the app on en_au Locale.preferredLanguages ▿ 3 elements - 0 : "en-ES" - 1 : "ca-ES" - 2 : "es-ES" Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations ▿ 1 element - 0 : "en" NSLocale.current.languageCode ▿ Optional&lt;String&gt; - some : "en" Locale.current ▿ en_001@rg=eszzzz (fixed en_001@rg=eszzzz) - identifier : "en_001@rg=eszzzz" - locale : "fixed en_001@rg=eszzzz" Locale.autoupdatingCurrent.languageCode ▿ Optional&lt;String&gt; - some : "en" Locale.current.languageCode ▿ Optional&lt;String&gt; - some : "en" Locale.preferredLanguages[0] "en-ES"

Questions about the implementation of "SMS and MSS Message Filtering"
In the mobile application we are developing we need to use the "SMS and MMS Message Filtering" functionality to analyze SMS messages received from unknown senders. The questions that arise about the use of this functionality are: Does this functionality allow these messages to be sent to solutions deployed in Microsoft Azure?. If the previous case is confirmed, could we use Rest APIs that we already have deployed in Azure?. If it were not possible to configure access to an existing Rest API, what would be the definition of the API to be implemented in the cloud for this service?. And finally, how would the configuration of access permissions to this API deployed in the cloud be?.
