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 ??

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

Currently, we use UIDocumentPickerViewController to read the user's connected sdcard. However, this requires the user to select manually, and the event cannot be monitored. But recently I found that ImageCaptureCore's ICDeviceBrowserDelegate can monitor the plug-in and unplug events in the didAddDevice callback, but cannot obtain the path of the storage card. I wonder if there is a way to combine the advantages of both, so that with the user's consent, the card reader events can be monitored and the content can be read directly without the user manually selecting the folder

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.

I have a 4-input, 4-output hardware device and an 8-input, 8-output virtual device, which I combine into an aggregate device. I am using the SimplyCoreAudio library to get the channel count. The code is as follows: aggregationDevice!.channels(scope: .input) =>> 12 aggregationDevice!.channels(scope: .output) =>> 12 When the program's MicrophoneMode is set to standard, the channel count is correct. However, when I set the MicrophoneMode to voiceIsolation, the channel count is incorrect: aggregationDevice!.channels(scope: .input) =>> 4 aggregationDevice!.channels(scope: .output) =>> 12 Below is the code for creating the aggregate device： func createAggregateDevice(mainDevice: AudioDevice, secondDevice: AudioDevice?, named name: String, uid: String) -> AudioDevice? { guard let mainDeviceUID = mainDevice.uid else { return nil } var deviceList: [[String: Any]] = [ [ kAudioSubDeviceUIDKey: mainDeviceUID, kAudioSubDeviceDriftCompensationKey:1 ] ] // make sure same device isn't added twice if let secondDeviceUID = secondDevice?.uid, secondDeviceUID != mainDeviceUID { deviceList.append([ kAudioSubDeviceUIDKey: secondDeviceUID, kAudioSubDeviceDriftCompensationKey:1, kAudioSubDeviceInputChannelsKey:8 ]) } let desc: [String: Any] = [ kAudioAggregateDeviceNameKey: name, kAudioAggregateDeviceUIDKey: uid, kAudioAggregateDeviceSubDeviceListKey: deviceList, kAudioAggregateDeviceMainSubDeviceKey: mainDeviceUID, kAudioAggregateDeviceIsPrivateKey:false, ] var deviceID: AudioDeviceID = 0 let error = AudioHardwareCreateAggregateDevice(desc as CFDictionary, &deviceID) guard error == noErr else { return nil } return AudioDevice.lookup(by: deviceID) } I hope someone can tell me the reason Thank you！

At present, I am using the avfoundation external device API to connect my iPad to a DSLR camera for data collection. On my end, I am using AVCapture Video Data Output to obtain raw data for processing and rendering. However, the pixelbuf returned from the system layer is incomplete, with only a portion cropped in the middle. But using the Mac API is normal. I would like to ask how to obtain the complete pixelbuf of the image on iPad

Six months ago I wrote FB14122473, detailing how the built-in CDC (or FTDI) VCP serial port driver is limited to 3 Mbps or less. Thing is, there are some FTDI devices that can do 12 Mbps (maybe more), and I have devices I need to communicate with at 4 Mbps. I had to use the FTDI SDK to be able to communicate with these. I was hoping this post might help draw attention to that bug report.

I upgraded my iPhone 13 Pro Max last week, but I am unable to connect my Sony WH-1000XM5 headphones via Bluetooth. I'm not sure why everything else connects just fine except my headphones. Please send help.

I have a C++/Objective-C command line application, running on MacOs (15.1.1 (24B91)), that communicates with a Bluetooth LE peripheral. The application is build with Apple clang 16.0.0 and CMake as build system using Boost.Asio. I'm able to establish a L2CAP channel and after the channel is established, the peripheral sends a first (quite small) SDU on that channel to the application. The PSM is 0x80 and was chosen by the peripherals BLE stack. The application receives the PSM via GATT notification. I can see the SDU being send in a single LL PDU with Wireshark. I can also see the SDU being received in Apples PacketLogger. But I miss the corresponding call to a stream event handler. For all other GATT related events, the corresponding delegates / callbacks are called. The code that creates a dispatch queue and passes it to the CBCentralManager looks like this: dispatch_queue = dispatch_queue_create("de.torrox.ble_event_queue", NULL); manager = [[CBCentralManager alloc] initWithDelegate:self queue:dispatch_queue options:nil]; When the L2CAP channel is established, the didOpenL2CAPChannel callback gets called from a thread within the dispatch_queue (has been verified with lldb): - (void)peripheral:(CBPeripheral *)peripheral didOpenL2CAPChannel:(CBL2CAPChannel *)channel error:(NSError *)error { [channel inputStream].delegate = self; [channel outputStream].delegate = self; [[channel inputStream] scheduleInRunLoop:[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode]; [[channel outputStream] scheduleInRunLoop:[NSRunLoop currentRunLoop] forMode:NSDefaultRunLoopMode]; [[channel inputStream] open]; [[channel outputStream] open]; ... // a reference to the channel is stored in the outside channel object [channel retain]; ... } Yet, not a single stream event is generated: - (void)stream:(NSStream *)stream handleEvent:(NSStreamEvent)event_code { Log( @"stream:handleEvent %@, %lu", stream, event_code ); ... } When I add a functionality, to poll the input stream, the stream will report the expected L2CAP input. But no event is generated. The main thread of execution is usually blocking on a boost::asio::io_context::run() call. The design is, to have the stream callback stream:handleEvent to post call back invocations on that io_context, and thus to wake up the main thread and get that callbacks being invoked on the main thread. All asynchronous GATT delegate calls are working as expected. The only missing events, are the events from the L2CAP streams. The same code worked in an older project on an older version of MacOs and an older version of Boost. How can I find out, why the stream delegates are not called?

New projects in Xcode do not include an Info.plist. Where do I put the IDs for Supported External Accessory Protocols?

I am working on a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) project using the nRF52840 Development Kit (DK), which has been reconfigured to simulate an nRF52805 chip. The firmware is based on Nordic Semiconductor's ble_app_hids_keyboard example, with modifications to implement a BLE HID Gamepad. I am using the S113 SoftDevice and have successfully tested the functionality with Android devices. The gamepad is recognized as a HID device, and it works as expected on Android, verified using the hardwareTester website. However, when I connect the gamepad to an iPhone via BLE, the same hardwareTester website does not respond as it does on Android, indicating that the iPhone does not recognize the device as a gamepad. The BLE connection is established successfully, but it seems iOS does not interpret the HID report descriptor or the BLE HID service correctly. I suspect there might be compatibility issues with the HID descriptor or the GATT attributes for iOS-specific BLE HID requirements. I would like to have some help.

As of iOS 18.1 being released we are having issues with our users experiencing issues with our app that relies on strobing the device torch. We have narrowed this down to being caused on devices with adaptive true-tone flash and have submitted a radar: FB15787160. The issue seems to be caused by ambient light levels. If run in a dark room, the torch strobes exactly as effectively as in previous iOS versions, if run in a light room, or outdoors, or near a window, the strobe will run for ~1s and then the torch will get stuck on for half a second or so (less frequently it gets stuck off) and then it will strobe again for ~1s and this behaviour repeats indefinitely. If we go to a darker environment, and background and then foreground the app (this is required) the issue is resolved, until moving to an area with higher ambient light levels again. We have done a lot of debugging, and also discovered that turning off "Auto-Brightness" from Settings -> Accessibility -> Display & Text Size resolves the issue. We have also viewed logs from Console.app at the time of the issue occurring and it seems to be that there are quite sporadic ambient light level readings at the time at which the issue occurs. The light readings transition from ~100 Lux to ~8000 Lux at the point that the issue starts occurring (seemingly caused by the rear sensor being affected by the torch). With "Auto-Brightness" turned off, it seems these readings stay at lower levels. This is rendering the primary use case of our app essentially useless, would be great to get to the bottom of it! We can't even really detect it in-app as I believe using SensorKit is restricted to research applications and requires a review process with Apple before accessing? Edit: It's worth noting this is also affecting other apps with strobe functionality in the exact same way

On iOS 18.x when try to create EASession we get nil, but on iOS 17.x everything works. We have app which use USB cable for connecting external accessories. Scenario is when we have fresh instal, connecting with accessory work fine, EASession is created, streams are opened. When we unplug USB, we close streams, remove any reference to session and accessory, remove accessory delegate. When plug it again, creating EASession is returning nil. Only after restarting iPhone, we can create new EASession with appropriate protocol and accessory. Every next attempt without reseting iPhone is failing. Logs from accessory is following: 00:05:51.811000 : onUSBDeviceFound(pDevice=0xffc818)) iPhone USB device already in the device list w/id=1 -> update status now[21;1H 00:05:51.830000 : setConnectionStatus(status=connected) [devId=1] state updated -> forward[21;1H Capabilities indicate HostMode possibility => role switch is triggered 00:05:52.848000 : updateDIPODeviceConnections() iPhoneUSB w/caps=5 (=CarPlay or HostMode), deviceTag=2 in Device mode -> request role switch[21;1H Role switch seems to be successful 00:05:54.914000 : setSwitching('stable') changed[21;1H 00:05:54.915000 : updateDIPODeviceConnections() iPhoneUSB w/caps=2, id=1, deviceTag=2 and native transport -> request app launch and call connectUSB[21;1H 00:05:54.967000 : ConnectiAP2(05ac:12a8, s/n='00008101000160921E90801E', writeFD='/dev/ffs/ep3', readFD='/dev/ffs/ep4', hostMode){3}[21;1H Native transport should become available but does not (the following line is not present for failed case.

Is it mandatory to use classic Bluetooth (Bluetooth Classic) to connect game controllers that support Apple’s MFi games and Arcade games, or can game controllers be developed using only Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for such accessories?

Since 17.4 Dev Beta 2, I have been having Bluetooth issues. I had hoped it would have cleared up but even in 17.4.1 it continues. Airpod and Echo Auto are the only 2 audio devices I have. The audio will become chopping, rubber band or sound robotic and sometime completely disconnect. While driving it will occur on both audio devices. Sometimes I'm stopped at red light and the issue occurs. The phone is less than 3 feet from the device at all times. I have read forums and removed and readded the devices but that did not help. I really do not want to have to reset my phone since my 2FA apps do not recover in a restore. Anyone have any suggestions?

Will UVC native support come for the Iphone as well? So, using external cameras with the ipad is greatly beneficial, but for the iphone, it can make it a production powerhouse! So, have there been discussions around bringing UVC support for the Iphone as well? and if so, what were your conclusions?

This is a regression since iOS 13. Is there no-one at Apple interested in fixing this? FB9856371
