Hello! We currently require the development of an iOS system for encrypting and authorizing photos, videos, voice memos, or other files stored on our devices to a connected USB-C storage. The encrypted files can be accessed through authorization. We have already encrypted and authorized the files to be stored on the app's mobile storage, and cannot directly store them to USB-C (this requirement is based on the Apple camera RroRes, which uses external storage for direct storage). We are seeking technical support from Apple.

Apple intelligence isn’t working, it says i have it but that’s it’s also downloading. Whenever i do have it on none of the features work, what do i do

why is it that this code doesn't show the bluetooth device name but in the iOS settings it is displayed correctly. Thank you. import UIKit import CoreBluetooth import CoreLocation class BluetoothViewController: UIViewController, CBCentralManagerDelegate, CLLocationManagerDelegate { var centralManager: CBCentralManager! var locationManager: CLLocationManager! override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Initialize central manager centralManager = CBCentralManager(delegate: self, queue: nil) // Initialize location manager to request location access locationManager = CLLocationManager() locationManager.delegate = self } // CBCentralManagerDelegate Methods func centralManagerDidUpdateState(_ central: CBCentralManager) { switch central.state { case .poweredOn: // Bluetooth is powered on, request location permission if needed if CLLocationManager.locationServicesEnabled() { locationManager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization() } startScanning() case .poweredOff: print("Bluetooth is powered off.") case .resetting: print("Bluetooth is resetting.") case .unauthorized: print("Bluetooth is unauthorized.") case .unknown: print("Bluetooth state is unknown.") case .unsupported: print("Bluetooth is unsupported on this device.") @unknown default: fatalError("Unknown Bluetooth state.") } } func startScanning() { // Start scanning for devices (you can add service UUIDs to filter specific devices) centralManager.scanForPeripherals(withServices: nil, options: [CBScanOptionAllowDuplicatesKey: true]) print("Scanning for Bluetooth devices...") } func centralManager(_ central: CBCentralManager, didDiscover peripheral: CBPeripheral, advertisementData: [String : Any], rssi: NSNumber) { // This method is called when a peripheral is discovered let deviceName = peripheral.name ?? "Unknown" let deviceAddress = peripheral.identifier.uuidString print("Found device: \(deviceName), \(deviceAddress)") // Optionally, you can stop scanning after discovering a device // centralManager.stopScan() } func centralManager(_ central: CBCentralManager, didConnect peripheral: CBPeripheral) { print("Connected to peripheral: \(peripheral.name ?? "Unknown")") } // CLLocationManagerDelegate Methods (for location services) func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didChangeAuthorization status: CLAuthorizationStatus) { if status == .authorizedWhenInUse { // Permission granted, now start scanning startScanning() } else { print("Location permission is required for Bluetooth scanning.") } } // Optionally handle when scanning stops or any errors occur func centralManager(_ central: CBCentralManager, didFailToConnect peripheral: CBPeripheral, error: Error?) { print("Failed to connect to peripheral: \(error?.localizedDescription ?? "Unknown error")") } func centralManager(_ central: CBCentralManager, didDisconnectPeripheral peripheral: CBPeripheral, error: Error?) { print("Disconnected from peripheral: \(peripheral.name ?? "Unknown")") } }

Current if we use the removeAccessory(_:completionHandler:) method in ASAccessorySession, it removes the accessory from the system and all apps that have previously paired also lose access. Is there a way to remove the paired accessory only from the app from where the removeAccessory() call is being made? This would be useful in cases where one or more accessories are shared across apps and we need to manage them.

We would like to be able to distinguish between iPhones and Apple Watches when scanning for devices using a Laird BLE module. We know that we can identify an Apple device from the manufacturer data returned in the scan report. 0x004C is the registered identifier for Apple. In the remaining data returned is it possible identify the device type? We note that empirically, 4C001005 seems to correlate to an Apple Watch. How reliable is this? It is useful for us, because it means we do not need to connect to this device to see if it is advertising a service that we own. Connecting over BLE is of course an expensive operation. Here is a simple snippet of a Swift App doing a similar thing, to illustrate the question: func centralManager(_ central: CBCentralManager, didDiscover peripheral: CBPeripheral, advertisementData: [String : Any], rssi RSSI: NSNumber) { guard let manufData: Data = advertisementData[CBAdvertisementDataManufacturerDataKey] as? Data else { return } let hexEncodedManufData: String = manufData.map { String(format: "%02hhx", $0) }.joined() print("Manufacturer Data: \(hexEncodedManufData): ") // Manufacturer Data: 4c001007351ff9f9036238: Apple device // Manufacturer Data: 4c001006331ec0640f88: Apple device // Manufacturer Data: 4c0010052b18804eb1: Apple watch? // Manufacturer Data: 4c0010052b18804eb1: Apple watch? }

I have a device. After pairing, it is shown as connected in the Bluetooth list of the mobile phone. Before iOS 18, I could retrieve the device through the retrieveConnectedPeripherals method, but after iOS 18, I cannot retrieve it. What is the reason? Because when the device is connected, it no longer sends broadcast packets. How can I retrieve the device?

I am working on an iOS application that relies on CoreMotion Attitude, and I need clarification regarding the behavior of reference frames. According to the documentation, when setting the attitude reference frame to CMAttitudeReferenceFrameXTrueNorthZVertical: The Z-axis of the reference frame is vertical (aligned with gravity). The X-axis of the reference frame points to the geographic North Pole (True North). When a device’s orientation matches this reference frame, the roll, pitch, and yaw values reported by CMAttitude should be (0,0,0). However, in my testing: When I align the device’s position with the CMAttitudeReferenceFrameXTrueNorthZVertical reference frame by orienting the screen (device Z-axis) upward and the right side (device X-axis) toward north, the yaw value reported by CMAttitude is 90 degrees instead of the expected 0 degrees. To have CMAttitude report yaw as 0, I must instead orient the top side (device Y-axis) toward north. This seems to contradict my understanding that the X-axis of the device should be aligned with True North, to have the device match the attitude reference frame and have roll, pitch, and yaw values reported by CMAttitude should be (0,0,0). What I'm missing? Thank you for your time and assistance.

We just updated our ATS to the latest 8.3.0 version and tried to run the iAP2 Session Test via BPA100 Bluetooth Analyzer and we are experiencing this EXC_BAD_INSTRUCTION.

Hello, I am currently working on a USB HID-class device and I wanted to test communications between various OSes and the device. I was able to communicate through standard USB with the device on other OSes such as Windows and Linux, through their integrated kernel modules and generic HID drivers. As a last test, I wanted to test macOS as well. This is my code, running in a Swift-based command line utility: import Foundation import CoreHID let matchingCriteria = HIDDeviceManager.DeviceMatchingCriteria(vendorID: 0x1234, productID: 0x0006) // This is the VID/PID combination that the device is actually listed under let manager = HIDDeviceManager() for try await notification in await manager.monitorNotifications(matchingCriteria: [matchingCriteria]) { switch notification { case .deviceMatched(let deviceReference): print("Device Matched!") guard let client = HIDDeviceClient(deviceReference: deviceReference) else { fatalError("Unable to create client. Exiting.") // crash on purpose } let report = try await client.dispatchGetReportRequest(type: .input) print("Get report data: [\(report.map { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined(separator: " "))]") case .deviceRemoved(_): print("A device was removed.") default: continue } } The client.dispatchGetReportRequest(...) line always fails, and if I turn the try expression into a force-unwrapped one (try!) then the code, unsurprisingly, crashes. The line raises a CoreHID.HIDDeviceError.unknown() exception with a seemingly meaningless IOReturn code (last time I tried I got an IOReturn code with the value of -536870211). The first instinct is to blame my own custom USB device for not working properly, but it doesn't cooperate with with ANY USB device currently connected: not a keyboard (with permissions granted), not a controller, nothing. I did make sure to enable USB device access in the entitlements (when I tried to run this code in a simple Cocoa app) as well. ...What am I doing wrong here? What does the IOReturn code mean? Thanks in advance for anybody willing to help out!

Battery health reduced to 89 from 98 within 2 months on iPhone 15 Pro and Cycle Count is just 314. Is it the software update doing this?

I have an Iphone Xsmax and the battery health is degraded to 69 i noticed whenever I put it on charge it just restarts and keeps doing that until I start using it or keep the screen on before it charges please is it my charger or it’s because the battery health has degraded to 69?

So the battery level value is in accurate returns the battery percentage in multiple of 5 values e.g. battery percentage is 42 but the api returns it as 40. So please fix the issue if possible because i checked that the devices running iOS versions below 17 appear to be working fine.

Im having issue with OneDrive that is affected our company iPads. User are able to drag and drop any folder or files over and now they cant. they are on the latest update for OneDrive and the IOS. Can someone look at this and also i reach to Microsoft and they said that nothing have change on there end.

When are you guys going to fix the CarPlay issues with this new update? I use this for work and it’s really an issue. Nothing is working and it takes up entirely too much space.

Our company is developing an MFi headset with a button that we would like to use for initiating PTT. We can detect the button press and initiate PTT successfully, even when the app is not in the foreground, using the ExternalAccessory framework. But I wonder if this is a coincidence, or a scenario that should reliably work with Push to Talk?

After updating to ios18.4, 3d scanning function, including AR function in apple clips, cannot be used. Does anyone else have the same problem?

** Every time after I downloaded an app this window opens and never closes how to close it?**

My audio and MIDI sequencer application consumes about 600 % of CPU power with 10 different instruments during playback. While idle approximately 100%. What is the maximum of CPU power that an application can consume? Are there any limits and could they be modified? I am asking because if I add more instruments the real-time behaviour gets bad at 700 % of CPU power. I have got following HW: MacBook Pro 14-inch, Nov 2024 Apple M4 Pro 24 GB
