Hi,
I have a question about On-Demand Resources, I tried to put some bundles into the Initial Install Tags and Download Only On Demand, and I uploaded the build to TestFlight, then I tried to make 2 builds, and the sample is like this:
Build A:
Initial Install Tags have 100 Tags.
Download Only On Demand have 5 Tags.
Build B:
all contents of Initial Install Tags are the same as in Build A.
Download Only On Demand are the same as Build A but I added 5 more tags, so the total is 10 tags, 5 tags that are the same as Build A and 5 new tags.
Then I tried to download Build A for the first time which is in TestFlight, and it runs normally, Initial Install Tags are downloaded when the main app is downloaded and Download Only On Demand is downloaded when I request the tag.
However, when I tried to update to Build B which is in TestFlight, why are the Initial Install Tags deleted? and why should it be downloaded via request? not when the main app is downloaded? has anyone ever experienced something like this?
Thanks!

In release mode, the values are missing. I don't know what's wrong with it. If I install the debug version first and then overwrite it with the release build, I can retrieve the values stored in debug mode. But if I uninstall completely and install the release version directly, it's empty
I'm currently experimenting with AlarmKit and, when configuring an alarm with a Relative schedule, but that never repeats, I find that it is still scheduled in the AlarmManager, but the documentation says that an alarm that has no repeat schedule will be removed from the AlarmManager after firing.
This behavior is experienced both in my project and with the sample code AlarmKit-ScheduleAndAlert
To reproduce, create a non-repeating alarm, and, after firing, it will still be on the list marked as Scheduled
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

I'd like to allow users to select apps to shield from a DeviceActivityReport (similar to how Apple's Screen Time Settings activity report allows a user to "add limits" to a selected app in the report.
What I need to do is pass an appToken from the DeviceActivityReportExtension to my app.
I realize the extension is sandboxed and doesn't allow "private" data to be seen outside of the sandbox. The docs state:
To protect the user’s privacy, your extension runs in a sandbox. This sandbox prevents your extension from making network requests or moving sensitive content outside the extension’s address space.
However, tokens aren't "sensitive".
I want to pass a token set out of the sandboxed extension so users can select certain apps from the report that my app can use for setting limits, etc.
I thought using App Groups and saving data with UserDefaults with a suiteName for my app group would do it, but it doesn't appear to allow me to pass the token data.
Yes I'm using the same KEY for both as I set a config enum to ensure it's the same and I can pass tokens successfully between other extensions/apps in the app group, but not the report extension.
It seems the app and the extension have their own stores as the report extension can write to and read from a store but despite being the same suiteName, other apps in the app group don't get or send data to the Report Extension. I realize this is probably due to the design with the sandbox to protect user privacy, however it seems an exception should be made for passing tokens (or even better allow passing through another method like a callback, etc).
Is there ay way to accomplish passing a token from the sandboxed report extension to my app?
I've successfully started the Live Caller ID Lookup example and initialized the PIRService.
I added several identities to the input.txtpb file, some with block: true and others with block: false.
Here is the file but modified phone digits:
identities {
key: "+40790123123"
value {
name: "Blocking 1"
cache_expiry_minutes: 7
block: true
}
}
identities {
key: "+972526111111"
value {
name: "Blocking 2"
cache_expiry_minutes: 7
block: true
}
}
identities {
key: "+123"
value {
name: "Adam"
cache_expiry_minutes: 8
block: false
category: IDENTITY_CATEGORY_PERSON
}
}
identities {
key: "+972526111112"
value {
name: "Identified Business Name 1"
cache_expiry_minutes: 1
block: false
category: IDENTITY_CATEGORY_BUSINESS
}
}
identities {
key: "+972526111113"
value {
name: "Identified Business Name 2"
cache_expiry_minutes: 1
block: false
category: IDENTITY_CATEGORY_BUSINESS
}
}
The main issue is that only the number marked as +40790123123 was actually blocked, while "Blocking 2" appeared as identified contacts with their assigned name displayed.
Notably, the only blocked number was a foreign number with a different country code than the number being called. The other numbers belonged to the same country.
Can someone clarify whether this is a bug in the example project or an issue with the data file?
Hello I'm working on Live Caller ID Lookup implementation on my own pet-project, as I understood I need to create app and extension for this app. I also created test PIR-service. I did configure serviceURL, tokenIssuerURL and userTierToken. In My app I implemented following code
Task {
if LiveCallerIDLookupManager.shared.status(forExtensionWithIdentifier: "some-extension") == .disabled {
`//` Show an alert.
print("LiveCallerIDLookupManager is disabled")
}
do {
// Open Settings.
try await LiveCallerIDLookupManager.shared.openSettings()
} catch {
}
It does open Call settings, but I don't understand what should I do next.
Hi everyone,
I'm working on an app for parents and kids where parents can define screen time goals or restrict usage of certain app categories (like social media or games). If the kid follows those rules—for example, by using their device less or avoiding restricted categories—they would earn points or rewards in the app.
I’ve been exploring if the Apple Screen Time API allows developers to access this kind of data (like total screen time, app usage by category, etc.) so that I can track the kid’s behavior and reward them accordingly.
Is it possible to programmatically access this data and implement such a reward system within my app? If so, what’s the best way to get started or which APIs should I look into?
Thanks in advance for your help!
After updating from iOS 18 to iOS 26, our app icon appears to have automatically received the new 'Liquid Glass' effect. We confirmed that this change occurred without us releasing a new app update.
My questions are:
Is this a system behavior where iOS 26 automatically applies the new icon style to existing apps?
If so, is it possible for a developer to control or customize this effect? I am also wondering if there are any methods other than using Icon Composer.
I'm trying to work with the beta version of the Declared Age Range framework based on an article's tutorial but am getting the following error:
[C:1-3] Error received: Invalidated by remote connection.
and AgeRangeService.Error.notAvailable is being thrown on the call to requestAgeRange. I'm using Xcode 26 beta 5 and my simulator is running the 26.0 beta. The iCloud account that I have signed into the simulator has a DOB set as well.
This is my full ContentView where I'm trying to accomplish this.
struct ContentView: View {
@Environment(\.requestAgeRange) var requestAgeRange
@State var advancedFeaturesEnabled = false
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("Advanced Features") {}
.disabled(!advancedFeaturesEnabled)
}
.task {
await requestAgeRangeHelper()
}
}
func requestAgeRangeHelper() async {
do {
let ageRangeResponse = try await requestAgeRange(ageGates: 16)
switch ageRangeResponse {
case let .sharing(range):
if let lowerBound = range.lowerBound, lowerBound >= 16 {
advancedFeaturesEnabled = true
}
case .declinedSharing:
break
// Handle declined sharing
default:
break
}
} catch AgeRangeService.Error.invalidRequest {
print("Invalid request")
// Handle invalid request (e.g., age range < 2 years)
} catch AgeRangeService.Error.notAvailable {
print("Not available")
// Handle device configuration issues
} catch {
print("Other")
}
}
}
I'm integrating Twilio Voice (v6.12.1) into my React Native app (using Swift bridging for iOS) and have implemented full VoIP, PushKit, and CallKit support for incoming calls.
✅ What works:
Incoming calls trigger the VoIP push and display the full-screen CallKit interface (or fallback UI).
Decline Call works as expected.
Call logs and events print correctly.
❌ Problem:
When I try to accept the call using the CallKit Accept button or React Native fallback UI, I consistently get:
❌ [TwilioVoiceModule] answerCall() callInvite is missing.
I also noticed that the console logs for answerCall() are being printed three times in a row, even though the accept button is only pressed once. Additionally in the first time console, answerCall() CallInvite found, accepting...
🔍 Observations:
The callInvite is properly received when the VoIP push arrives.
But when answerCall() is triggered, callInvite becomes nil.
This happens in CallKit accept, RN UI accept, and even notification banner accept.
📦 How it's set up (summarized):
PushKit Registration – via PKPushRegistry in AppDelegate.swift
VoIP push handling – forwards payload to TwilioVoiceModule.handleIncomingPush()
CallKit integration – uses CXProviderDelegate to report and handle accept actions
JS Bridge – emits acceptCallAction to JS
React Native calls TwilioVoiceModule.answerCall(uuid, callSid)
In answerCall() method: self.callInvite is nil – so call cannot be accepted.
Attaching the link to view the relevant code: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15pNjKrfk954OaotpMIEh3xQUtst---1K45DBXoYctGM/edit?usp=sharing
💡 Call Accept Flow (iOS):
VoIP Push → TwilioVoiceModule.handleIncomingPush()
Twilio SDK creates callInvite
reportNewIncomingCall() triggers CallKit UI
On accept: CXAnswerCallAction → emits event to JS
RN calls TwilioVoiceModule.answerCall(uuid, callSid)
Problem: callInvite is already nil
❓ What I'm trying to understand:
Why is callInvite becoming nil before answerCall() is called?
Why are the logs showing the answerCall() call 3 times?
Is there a race condition or multiple accept triggers?
Should I ensure callInvite is accepted only once across all 3 accept paths?
**
💬 Any help would be appreciated.**
📱 Environment:
React Native 0.78.x
iOS 17+
Swift bridging with TwilioVoiceModule.swift
Twilio Voice SDK 6.12.1

i want to listen the button event,but i can't find the solutions!please give me a code demo
Can't I just add up all of the accelerations of the accelerometer and then use this physics equation to get distance?
d = v(i) x t + (1/2) x a x t ^2
In this:
v(i) would be 0
t = 1 second
a = all accelerometer speeds added together for.1 second
t = 1 second
Can't I just use this equation to get vertical velocity? A lot of people have said it is impossible but It has been done with variometer apps. I can’t figure out the code. Can anyone guide me in the right direction?
v(f) = v(i) + a x t
v(i) = 0
a = y-axis acceleration for 1 second
t = 1 second
Please let me know if this is possible.
Thank you so much for your help.
Hi,
I’m trying to perform UWB ranging between an iPhone and a Qorvo DWM3001CDK accessory using Apple NI’s NINearbyAccessoryConfiguration class. I’ve followed the steps described in the official Apple documentation (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/nearbyinteraction/ninearbyaccessoryconfiguration), specifically for enabling background mode using the init(accessoryData:bluetoothPeerIdentifier:) initializer.
The configuration is successfully created, and background mode is enabled. However, when the iPhone starts the session, I doesn’t receive any ranging data from the DWM3001CDK, and the session ends with a timeout.
Interestingly, if I use the init(data:) initializer, I can successfully receive ranging data, but this only works in foreground mode, which doesn’t meet my requirements.
Steps I’ve followed:
Used Core Bluetooth to discover and pair the accessory.
Retrieved the configuration data from the accessory according to the third-party UWB device specifications.
Initialized the configuration using NINearbyAccessoryConfiguration(accessoryData:bluetoothPeerIdentifier:) for background mode.
Started the session with NISession.run(configuration).
Waited for updates in the delegate method session(_:didUpdate:).
Specific questions:
Are there additional requirements for using init(accessoryData:bluetoothPeerIdentifier:) to enable background UWB ranging with the DWM3001CDK?
Is there a known difference in how init(data:) and init(accessoryData:bluetoothPeerIdentifier:) handle the ranging process?
Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Apple engineering team,
I’m trying to integrate the new Live Caller ID Lookup (PIR) on iOS using your pir-service-example code as well as a custom mock server in Vapor, but the extension never advances past the /issue/token-key-for-user-token step. I’ve tried both:
1. Official Example
Cloned https://github.com/apple/pir-service-example
Ran PIRService locally
Confirmed that
GET /.well-known/private-token-issuer-directory → 200
GET /issue/token-key-for-user-token → 200 (DER bytes, correct SPKI)
No POST /issue ever fires
2. Mock Server (Vapor)
Implemented all five endpoints (/config, /.well-known/private-token-issuer-directory, /issue/token-key-for-user-token, /issue, /queries)
Verified with curl and openssl asn1parse that:
GET /.well-known/private-token-issuer-directory
Content-Type: application/private-token-issuer-directory
{ "issuer-request-uri":"https://…/issue", "token-keys":[…] }
GET /issue/token-key-for-user-token
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
<DER bytes>
Added Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600 on directory and SPKI
Stubbed POST /issue to always return { "token": "" }
Still no POST /issue request from the extension
Reproduction Steps
Install and enable a Live Lookup extension pointing to my server.
Trigger an incoming call on device.
Watch server logs—only see the two GETs, never /issue or /queries.
Expected Behavior
After fetching the SPKI DER, the framework should issue a POST /issue call (Privacy Pass flow) and then POST /queries.
Observed Behavior
Stuck in an infinite loop of:
GET /.well-known/private-token-issuer-directory
GET /issue/token-key-for-user-token
(repeat…)
No progression to the /issue or /queries endpoints.
What I’ve Tried
Verified JSON kebab-case and headers exactly match examples
Confirmed SPKI DER is valid via openssl asn1parse
Added Cache-Control headers
Tested on real device, localhost url, and ngrok public URL
Mocked a valid-looking token response
Could you advise what additional requirement or format detail I’m missing that prevents from advancing past /issue/token-key-for-user-token?
These are the main files:
LiveLookupExtension.swift
routes.swift
service-config.json
Thanks in advance!
Widgets on the widget is not responding to the touch properly. This issue is also affecting within the home screen widget in a way that the widget switches to light mode by itself even though I am in dark mode. Additionally, lock screen does not to respond once the lock screen widget has been edited. Is anyone else having this issue?
I have been using Universal Links since January of this year.
As of January, it was working fine, but when I checked its operation in August, it was no longer working properly.
After investigating, I believe that the reason it is not working is because our firewall is blocking communication from AppleCDN to check for AASA files.
Our firewall blocks communication from outside Japan, and Apple's IP address (17.0.0.0/8) is whitelisted.
Does anyone know the hostname or IP address that is used to check AASA files?
If you know, please let me know.
can i block number on my app with callkit if the number already exists as a contact? Or i can only block number that are not on the contact list ?
Hey there! So, I'm trying to see what I'm able to do with the Device Activity Report Extension, and I have a few questions about the following quote:
To protect the user’s privacy, your extension runs in a sandbox. This sandbox prevents your extension from making network requests or moving sensitive content outside the extension’s address space.
In particular, what constitutes the address space for this extension?
Can I save data to a UserDefaults object that only the extension can access? (Apps like Opal allow the user to label apps as "distracting" and "non-distracting", and I'm wondering how they do that!)
From what I've read, I believe it cannot write to a shared app group or model (and I just want to confirm this)
It also seems that there's nothing preventing it from reading data from the main app, so I'm just wondering if it's able to read data from an app group or model with no problem.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Team,
We are encountering issues while implementing the live translation feature in our VoIP application using CallKit on iOS 26.0. Specifically, we are attempting to use the CXSetTranslatingCallAction transaction to enable translation programmatically during an active call.
However, executing this transaction results in the following error:
"Couldn't communicate with a helper application."
This occurs consistently when we attempt to trigger the translation setup without user interaction. We are seeking clarification on the following points:
Is it possible to enable CallKit's live translation feature using CXSetTranslatingCallAction purely programmatically, without requiring the user to interact with the system-provided Call UI?
What does the above error indicate in the context of CXSetTranslatingCallAction? Are there specific conditions, entitlements, or background service requirements that must be fulfilled to communicate with CallKit?
Code snippet:
let translationAction = CXSetTranslatingCallAction(call: callUUID, isTranslating: true, localLocale: Locale.init(identifier: "es-ES"), remoteLocale: Locale(identifier: "en-US"))
let transaction = CXTransaction(action: translationAction)
callController.request(transaction)
We would deeply appreciate any guidance you can provide regarding the feasibility of our approach and how to address this error.
Thank you for your support.
I'm building a light-based(sunrise) alarm iOS app using SwiftUI , the idea is to wake users not with sound, but with a full-screen bright light UI (mimicking sunrise or a light alarm clock).
I'd like to replicate behavior similar to the native Clock app:
My goal:
When the scheduled time is reached, forcefully display a full-screen "light" screen, even if the device is:
locked
running another app
or the app is backgrounded
The problem:
So far, I can:
Show a full-screen AlarmView only if the app is opening
But I cannot:
Automatically wake the screen when app is closed
My confusion:
I've read that Critical Alerts allow bypassing Do Not Disturb and Silent Mode but that's only for sound right?
Can Critical Alerts also help with waking the screen or displaying visuals like full-screen UI automatically?
If not, is there any way to simulate this kind of alarm:
light-based screen effect ( sunrise alarm clock)
triggered automatically at a specific time
without needing the user to manually tap the notification?
Do I need to consider:
PushKit + VoIP?
CallKit (but it's meant for calls)?
Background tasks + silent push?
Or is it simply impossible without special entitlements?
Thanks in advance for any insights. This seems like a simple use case (light-based alarm), but I’m surprised how limited the options is.
