Hi,
I'm implementing a Message Filter Extension and need clarification about the ILMessageFilterExtensionNetworkURL Info.plist key.
Is it valid to include query parameters in the URL like:
https://example.com/test?id=123
I want to make sure this approach will pass App Review before implementing it. The query parameter would be used to identify the client making the filtering request.
Has anyone successfully used URLs with query parameters in their approved Message Filter Extensions? Any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks!
So what's the point of being able to block unto 50 apps per ManagedSettingStore via store.application.blockedApplications (which works fine) until removing the blocked apps or clearing the store. Where the following occurs
if you have a social networking group with more than 9 apps only 9 apps will go back into the group and all the others will go onto the springboard all jumbled
if you end up with an empty group then tap into the group, it is removed then during the reset all apps are placed back on to the springboard
I am trying to follow the guidance for testing a Local Experience, as listed in the Testing Your App Clip’s Launch Experience - https://developer.apple.com/documentation/app_clips/testing_your_app_clip_s_launch_experience documentation. I have successfully created my App Clip target, and can confirm that running the App Clip on my device does launch the App Clip app as I expected. Further, I can successfully test the App Clip on device, by setting the _XCAppClipURL argument in the App Clip's scheme.
I would like to test a Local Experience. The documentation states that for testing Local Experiences;
To test your app clip’s invocation with a local experience, you don’t need to add the Associated Domains Entitlement, make changes to the Apple App Site Association file on your web server, or create an app clip experience for testing in TestFlight. Therefore, I should be able to configure a Local Experience with any desired domain in Settings -> Developer -> Local Experience, generate a QR code or NFC tag with that same URL, and the App Clip experience should appear. I have taken the following steps;
Built and run my App Clip on my local device.
In Settings -> Developer -> Local Experience, I have registered a new experience using a URL prefix https://somewebsite.com
Set my Bundle ID to com.mycompany.myapp.Clip, which exactly matches the Bundle Identifier, as listed in Xcode, under my App Clip target.
Generated a QR code which directs me to https://somewebsite.com
In theory, I believe I should be able to open the Camera app on my device, point the camera at the QR code, and the App Clip experience should appear. However, I received mixed experiences. 50% of the time, I receive a pop-up directing me to open https://somewebsite.com in Safari, the other 50% of the time, no banner or action occurs whatsoever.
Is this an issue anyone has faced before, or have I pursued these steps out of order?
In iOS 18, the requestValue method no longer works when the parameter it is called on is not included in the parameterSummary of an AppIntent. This issue causes the app to fail to present a prompt for the user to select a value, resulting in an error with the message:
Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection from pid 40685 on anonymousListener or serviceListener was interrupted, but the message was sent over an additional proxy and therefore this proxy has become invalid."
Steps to Reproduce:
Create a simple AppIntent with the following code:
import AppIntents
struct Intent: AppIntent {
static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Intent"
static var parameterSummary: some ParameterSummary {
Summary("Test \(\.$category)") {}
}
@Parameter(title: "Category")
private var category: CategoryEntity?
@Parameter(title: "Hidden Category")
private var hidden: CategoryEntity?
@MainActor
func perform() async throws -> some ReturnsValue<CategoryEntity?> {
var result: CategoryEntity?
do {
result = try await $hidden.requestValue("Select category") // Doesn't work since iOS 18 as $hidden is not set in parameterSummary
} catch {
print("\(error)")
}
return .result(value: result)
}
}
Run the code on a device with iOS 18.
Observe that the requestValue method fails to present the selection prompt and instead throws an error.
Expected Results:
The app should successfully present a prompt for the user to select a value for the hidden parameter using requestValue, even if the parameter is not included in the parameterSummary.
Actual Results:
The app fails to present the selection prompt and throws an error, making it impossible to use requestValue for parameters not included in parameterSummary.
Version/Build:
iOS 18.0
Configuration:
Tested on various devices running iOS 18.
Is there a change in the API that I might have missed?
We're running into an issue with our pkg bundle where the main .app file disappears after installation and wanted to see if anyone has an idea about what would cause it.
We have a pkg bundle with three separate apps, one primary app and two supporting apps. We distribute this pkg bundle directly to our users, who will manually install it on their devices (rather than through the app store).
The installation itself will usually complete without any issues, and we aren't seeing anything in the install or system logs indicating that it was removed afterward (our postinstall script checks that all of the files exist and are in the correct locations), but after the installation the main app disappears while the rest of the files (including the supporting apps) we lay down are still present. Sometimes it will fail with an error similar to this:
2024-10-02 09:43:07-04 MBA-L-8114 installer[9894]: Error getting application status info for file:///Applications/.hiddenfolder/app1.app: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file "app1.app" couldn't be opened because there is no such file." UserInfo={NSURL=file:///Applications/.hiddenfolder/app1.app, NSFilePath=/Applications/.hiddenfolder/app1.app, NSUnderlyingError=0x6000026a0d50 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}}
This only happens on certain computers, but on those computers it will happen consistently. We have noticed that it seems to happen more often with computers that are MDM configured.
So far we’ve investigated permissions issues with the build process, installation script issues, and signing/notarizing, but have not found anything that might cause this issue. We did verify that we’re setting BundleIsRelocatable NO in the plist file for our package, so in theory it shouldn’t be trying to move the app after installation (we don't see the main app anywhere on the device so macOS doesn't seem to be moving it).
We have another post going into more technical detail here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/769443

Dear,
I am starting to read the documentation about HCE payments and doing the first tests in my device. I have noticed that the only way to request contactless payment permissions is calling:
NFCPresentmentIntentAssertion.acquire()
And if it is the first time will prompt a popup asking the permissions and if not and the user denied the permission will throw the error systemEligibilityFailed.
My doubt is, is there other way to ask the contactless permissions instead of using the acquire? Because I understand that the acquire method is mainly created to prevent the default contactless app from launching. So I assume that it is not a good practice to use some point in the app just for asking the permission, right? Or for the first time we can use it for that purpose?
According to that, is there any way to get the current contactless payment permissions status, just as we can get it from the camera (AVCaptureDevice.authorizationStatus(for: mediaType: AVMediaType))?
The main goal is to give to the user a good experience. First asking the permission in a specific screen that explain why we need this permission and if the user denies it show some information in a screen as we can do it with other services as camera, micro, location...
Thank you
The problem is that when I read out the text in a PDF with page.string or page.attributedString, the context of the lines is lost. Instead of
TermA....23,45
TermB....2,13
in an index document
TermA
TermB
23,45
2,13
is issued. The context of the lines (and the sequence of the letters) is lost. Is there a way to read the text from a PDF line by line?
Received entitlement access from Apple yesterday, but I'm getting this error when trying to check app authorization:
FinanceKit/FinanceStore+FinancialDataAuthorization.swift:27: Fatal error: Process is not entitled
Code of interest:
import Foundation

@MainActor
class FinanceService: ObservableObject {
private let store = FinanceStore.shared
@Published private(set) var authorizationStatus: AuthorizationStatus = .notDetermined
@Published private(set) var accounts: [Account] = []
@Published private(set) var transactions: [Transaction] = []
@Published private(set) var balances: [AccountBalance] = []
@Published private(set) var wallet: Wallet = Wallet()
// Authorization
func requestAuthorization() async {
do {
authorizationStatus = try await store.requestAuthorization()
} catch {
// If there's an error requesting authorization, set to denied
authorizationStatus = .denied
print("Error requesting authorization: \(error)")
}
}
func checkAuthorizationStatus() async {
do {

print("Authorization status: \(authorizationStatus)")
} catch {
// If there's an error checking status, assume not determined

What I've done/checked:
Info.plist is set properly, with NSFinancialDataDescription AND
NSFinanancialDataUsageDescription both set
In my entitlements, key com.apple.developer.financekit is set to financial-data

I've followed the instructions here: [https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/757973] to no avail.
Any ideas?
Hello,
I know that in the past it was explicitly forbidden to programmatically end the app, but I cannot find the reference on the current guidelines.
The only thing I found was this:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1561/_index.html
but this site has a box on top saying that is not being updated anymore.
What is the current policy about this? Is it allowed now?
Thank you! :)

I don't see upload option for the App Store connect, can only export .ipa.
Also having issues with Transporter, pasting error message here.
Could not create a temporary .itmsp package for the app "Redacted.ipa".
Unable to determine app platform for
'Undefined' software type.
Is anyone else facing the same issue? I am using Xcode 15.
I'm currently experimenting with the latest Xcode beta 15.3 (15E5194e) and attempting to integrate FinanceKit](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/financekit) into my project. However, I've encountered a persistent issue where the app crashes upon attempting to read or request authorization, accompanied by the following error message:
FinanceKit/FinanceStore+FinancialDataAuthorization.swift:52: Fatal error: Process is not entitled
Upon investigation, I've found no evident entitlements for FinanceKit, despite exploring options like Apple Wallet. Furthermore, I thoroughly examined the info.plist for relevant privacy values but found nothing pertinent.
Here's the code snippet that triggers the fatal error, whether it's the request or read function:
I don't see anything in entitlements for FinanceKit (I tried Apple Wallet and that didn't make a difference). Additionally, I checked for relevant privacy values for the info.plist but again didn't see anything relevant.
Here is the code to reproduce the error (note calling either function will result in the same fatal error):
import FinanceKit
import UIKit
class ViewController: UIViewController {
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
requestFinancePermission()
// readFinancePermission()
}
private func requestFinancePermission() {
Task {
do {
let status = try await FinanceStore.shared.requestAuthorization()
} catch {
print("Error: \(error)")
}
}
}
private func readFinancePermission() {
Task {
do {
let status = try await FinanceStore.shared.authorizationStatus()
} catch {
print("Error: \(error)")
}
}
}
}
I'm seeking clarification on whether FinanceKit is currently usable or if there are additional steps needed for proper integration. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I just noticed something really odd with WeatherKit.
If the temperate at midnight of the FOLLOWING day is colder than all temps in the day you want weather for then WeatherKit will report that as the low temperature for the day even though it's a different day.
Here it's reporting the lowest temp for Feb 6 is 22F. But that's a temp from Feb 7. I'm displaying lowTemperature and lowTemperatureTime from DayWeather as well as the HourWeather in these examples.
I wasn't sure if this was working as designed or a bug. I can provide raw data from this example.

I'm developing a watchOS app for Watch Ultra 2 that implements water detection using CMSubmersionManager.
I would like to make it appear in the Auto-Launch settings menu, but my app is not appearing in the settings (Settings > General > Auto-Launch > When Submerged > Selected App)....
What additional steps should I take to make this work?
Environment
Device: Watch Ultra 2
watchOS: 11.2
Xcode: 16.0
Implementation
I have implemented the following as per documentation:
Added the Shallow Depth and Pressure capability and Entitlement.
Added the "Shallow Depth and Pressure" capability
Confirmed entitlement "com.apple.developer.submerged-shallow-depth-and-pressure" was automatically added
Note: I initially thought I should use "com.apple.developer.submerged-depth-and-pressure" (without "-shallow") since I'm targeting a maximum depth of 6 meters, but this resulted in compilation errors.
ref: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/740083
ref: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/735296
Added NSMotionUsageDescription and WKBackgroundModes
<key>NSMotionUsageDescription</key>
<string>Required for water detection</string>
<key>WKBackgroundModes</key>
<array>
<string>underwater-depth</string>
</array>
According to the documentation:
"It also adds your app to the list of apps that the system can autolaunch when the wearer submerges the watch."
What additional steps are needed to make the app appear in Auto-Launch settings? Has anyone successfully implemented this feature?
Hello. I have a MacOS application to be distributed in a .pkg that is signed and notarized.
For the application to work, it needs some settings defined by us (non-secret strings that differ per client). My thought has been to use a .mobileconfig to send these settings using the com.apple.ManagedClient.preferences PayloadType. I can see these settings land correctly into the /Library/Managed Preferences directory (in the correct domain) when distributed using Apple Business Essentials as the MDM. However, I cannot read the settings using NSUserDefaults OR CFPreferences in objective-c (i've tried with my app unsigned and signed, but not signed ant notarized so far). I've seen some posts here and there about managed preferences being deprecated, so I'm not sure if this is my issue or if i'm simply reading the preferences incorrectly. I'll admit the conflict of some of these posts has me a bit confused about how the preferences subsystem works / whether it should be used at all. I'm on MacOS 15.3.
Two questions:
Does anything stand out as to why I wouldn't be able to read these properties?
Is there a better method I should be using to allow sending config via MDM to set application settings?
Thanks in advance!

I am using the Call Range Blocker App (App URL: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/call-ranger-spam-call-blocker/id1154832936) to block unwanted calls, so my phone doesn’t ring. However, despite being blocked, these calls still appear as unanswered calls in the call history, which is very frustrating.
When users block a number, they expect to block all communication from that number, including call logs. When I contacted the app developer, I was informed that after iOS 18, blocked calls are still showing up as unanswered calls in the call history.
I kindly request that Apple’s iOS development team look into this issue and address it in the next update. It is quite annoying to see blocked calls appear in the recent call history, and users would prefer not to have them show up at all.
Thank you

Hi, I am trying to understand how this mechanism integrates with shortcuts (and i guess siri + apple intelligence in near future) and other apps.
Basic setup is an AppEntity that implements 'transferable' and is returning a DataRepresentation of 'text'.
got an AppIntent returns a one of the 'entitities' and I'm simply trying to pass the result to initially email or another app using shortcuts. even with canned 'hello world' string being marshalled into DataRepresentation(.text) I am not seeing anything in usual system targets like email, messages, notes. It opens the app ok, but no text is present. (note: if I use an incorrect DataRepresentation type with email it'll flat out fail saying 'not correct 'text' type)
What exactly do I need to do here and is there any example code I can look at?
thanks
I’m developing a self-management app using Family Controls, but I’ve encountered a FamilyActivityPciker's crash due to an XPC(or UIRemoteView) issue when there are too many tokens(maybe 200+ items) in a category. This makes bad UX, so I’m looking for a workaround.
(I guess that the crash reason is cross process memory limitations, such as App Extension 50MB memory limitation.)
A lot of web domains contribute to increase the number of tokens, However, even after clearing Safari’s browsing history, the tokens displayed in the FamilyActivityPicker remains unchanged.
Is there any workaround that a 3rd party developer can implement to address this issue? prevent FamilyActivityPicker crashes or reduce the number of web domain tokens?
For example, if there’s a way to reset the web domain tokens shown in FamilyActivityPicker from the Settings app, I could offer a help to users.
Does anybody have ideas?
Expanding SNS Category (29 items)
It succeeded.
Expanding Productivity & Finance (214 items)
It failed. The screen froze, then appears blank. When the number of items is around 100, the crash rate is 50%, but when the items are over 200, the crash rate is 100%.
Search Bar Problem
The search bar also has same problem. If the number of search results are small, it works good without any blank, but if there are a lot of search results (200+), the XCP crashes and the screen appears blank.
Code to Reproduce
import SwiftUI
import FamilyControls
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var selection = FamilyActivitySelection()
@State private var isPickerPresented: Bool = false
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("Open Picker") {
isPickerPresented = true
}
}
.familyActivityPicker(isPresented: $isPickerPresented, selection: $selection)
}
}
Steps to Reproduce
Prepare a category that has 200+ items
Try to open the category in the picker
The screen will freeze, then appears blank.

I've been stuck for days trying to figure out how to extract the full text of a Siri prompt that launches my app. We need to be able to get the text of the full command, such as "Hey siri, buy dogfood...." so I can get "dogfood" or anything else following 'buy' . The examples I am finding are a) out of date or b) incomplelete. Right now we're using AppIntents with Shortcuts, but have to use dedicated shortcuts for each specific purchase, which are obviously very limiting.
