Silent Push notifications XCode 16.3 stop working on production
Hello, we have recently started signing and building our applications using Xcode 16.3. Since we made this change, we’ve noticed that the applications have stopped receiving silent push notifications (content-available: 1) when they are distributed via TestFlight or the App Store, even though we haven’t changed anything in the way these notifications are sent. As I mentioned, this started happening after migrating our project from Xcode 15 to Xcode 16.3. Regular push notifications are still working as expected, but silent ones are not being received by the apps. We are desperate because we rely on these silent notifications to inform the apps of updates, and we haven’t been able to identify the root cause of the issue.

Questions for AlarmKit
We are so interested in AlarmKit which is presented at WWDC25. While we planning our app using AlarmKit, We had a few questions come to mind and were hoping you could provide some clarity. Please excuse the rather long list of questions, as we don't currently have a device available to test these features ourselves. System Actions Related Is there a limit to the number of alarms that can be scheduled using AlarmKit? Are alarms scheduled with AlarmKit persistent across device reboots? When an alarm is dismissed (either by swiping or pressing the power button), can our app detect this action and execute code in response? Can we control the behavior of the physical Lock Screen buttons when an AlarmKit alarm is active, for instance, to trigger a snooze action? Does AlarmKit function correctly during Do Not Disturb or Low Power Mode? What is the expected behavior when an alarm from our app (using AlarmKit) overlaps with an alarm from another app that also uses AlarmKit? Which one is going to get its priority? Thank you for your help. Sincerely

NSUserNotificationsUsageDescription only works for certain locales
I'm trying to provide custom localized descriptions for the iOS notification permission popup in my app, which supports multiple locales. To achieve this, I'm using InfoPlist.strings files per locale with the following keys: NSUserNotificationsUsageDescription NSUserTrackingUsageDescription The issue I'm facing is that NSUserTrackingUsageDescription is working correctly across all tested locales, but NSUserNotificationsUsageDescription only works for some locales. Locales tested: Working: ja, tr, fr-CA Not working: fr-BE, nl-BE In each case, the correct localized NSUserTrackingUsageDescription appears, but the NSUserNotificationsUsageDescription falls back to the default or does not appear as expected in fr-BE and nl-BE. I'm using Xcode 16 and testing on both iOS 18 simulator and physical devices, and the issue is consistent across both. Any insights on whether this is a known issue in iOS or if there are additional steps needed for NSUserNotificationsUsageDescription to localize properly would be greatly appreciated.

APNS notifications - too quiet custom sound
Our application is designated to be used in a quite noisy environment (childcare facility) so we have implemented really annoying custom sounds. Unfortunately the system audio session playing custom sounds is apparently limited to half of the device volume possibility, even though the user sets full volume in the settings. How to change this behaviour to get louder notification sounds? To be clear, I don't want to overcome user settings. If the user sets quieter volume or he sets the silent mode, the application should be silent too. I just need that 100% volume settings is actually 100% device volume. This is a really critical feature for us and for our customers. We have already tried to ask for the critical alerts and we have been rejected.

[App Store Server Notifications] ONE_TIME_CHARGE production release...
Dear Apple! During WWDC24 you announced that ONE_TIME_CHARGE notification is available on the sandbox environment and will be available "it will be available in production later this year" - it's March 2025 and there is still no production release of this feature. Could you share some timeline and plans for when we can expect that feature deployed to production? Thanks in advance!

VoIP / PushKit notification failure on versions of iOS 18
We are trying to figure out a strange issue. Our app has not changed for at least 10 months but my devices and the QA tester device have all stopped receiving push/call notifications for twilio voip The twilio credential and apple voip services certificate are in date and valid It is pointing to the correct bundle id and topic (not changed configuration for years) token passed in to TwilioVoiceSDK.register() is retrieved from PKPushRegistry as per guide Running locally the Twilio Voice SDK successfully registers and retrieves APNs token What is interesting is if I log in with exactly the same client account on an iOS 18.5 device (and an older iPad) call notifications work perfectly (I have made sure all focus modes/dnd are off and notification settings are identical) The only changes myself and QA have made recently is minor iOS 18 version updates - 18.6.2 and 18.7.1 These now receive Invalid device token from APNs when Twilio attempts to create a call/voip notification for the user identity Our devices sometimes switch environments test/prod so I installed the app cleanly on a borrowed 18.6.2 device and got the exact same issue We have tested on these devices most of the year with no issues. I have been in touch with twilio support and added code to explicitly unregister and re register on an affected device to clear any bindings but it didn't help. Have apple made any changes in PushKit or token behaviour for later versions of iOS 18? Thanks

CarPlay: no banner or sound for APNs while connected, works on phone (iOS 18.0, UNNotificationCategoryOptions.allowInCarPlay)
Hi everyone! I’m integrating push notifications for a taxi-driver app and ran into a blocking CarPlay issue. When the iPhone is connected to CarPlay (wired or wireless), the push arrives on the phone without any sound and nothing is shown or announced on the CarPlay screen. If I unplug CarPlay, the same push plays the default sound and shows a normal banner on the lock screen, so the payload itself looks valid. Environment iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18.0 CarPlay head-unit: Xcode 16.2 CarPlay Simulator App built with Flutter 3.22 + firebase_messaging: ^15.2.5 Deployment target: iOS 14.0 Xcode capabilities enabled: Push Notifications, Time-Sensitive Notifications App settings on the device: Allow Notifications -› Sounds ON, Show in CarPlay ON Siri › Announce Notifications › CarPlay: master toggle ON + my app added to the allowed list Driving Focus = Off (same result if it’s On) Native setup in AppDelegate.swift UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization( options: [.alert, .sound, .badge, .carPlay] ) { _,_ in } let carPlayCategory = UNNotificationCategory( identifier: "CARPLAY_ORDER", actions: [], intentIdentifiers: [], options: [.allowInCarPlay] ) UNUserNotificationCenter.current().setNotificationCategories([carPlayCategory]) UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self application.registerForRemoteNotifications() APNs payload that I send via FCM { "aps": { "alert": { "title": "New test order", "body": "Location info test" }, "sound": "default", "category": "CARPLAY_ORDER", "interruption-level": "time-sensitive", "relevance-score": 1 } } What could be the problem?

Device token not being extracted - iOS app registered for push notifications but callback methods not called
Background: The project was created in Xcode 5, then recreated in new Xcode. Before migration, push notifications worked without issues, after migration device token stopped being extracted. Problem: iOS app registers for push notifications, but didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken or didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError methods are not being called. Current situation: App is registered for push notifications (isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications = true) Notification permissions are granted Entitlements are configured correctly (aps-environment: development) Bundle ID: com.autoserviceonline.app Team: BUSINESSVISION COMPANY, TOO (NS3FSG45V7) But callback methods are not being called What I've already tried: Deleted and recreated all App IDs in Apple Developer Portal Cleared Xcode cache and derived data Created new APNs certificates and provisioning profiles Removed "ghost" certificate from Keychain Access Problem persists Additional information: Also noticed that Push Notifications Console opens non-existent project "BV.TestSwiftData" with Personal Team instead of current corporate App ID com.autoserviceonline.app. These issues might be related to project migration from old Xcode. Request: Why iOS doesn't call callback methods for device token, although registration was successful?

Notifications scheduled but never delivered at scheduled time
Device: iPhone (real device) iOS: 17.x Permission: Granted Notifications are scheduled using UNCalendarNotificationTrigger. The function runs and prints "SCHEDULING STARTED". However, notifications never appear at 8:00 AM, even the next day.

Regarding "Overview of app transfer"
My iPhone VoIP app, which I'm developing, uses Apple Push Notification service (APNs). I have a question regarding the following statement found in "[Overview of app transfer > Apps using push notifications]" Overview of app transfer You must manually reestablish push notification services if transferring an app that uses the Apple Push Notifications service (APNs). The recipient must create a new client SSL certificate using their developer account, as associated client SSL certificates, TLS certificates, and authentication tokens aren’t transferred. Question Let's say the recipient of the app transfer creates a "new SSL certificates, TLS certificates, and authentication tokens." Afterward, we need to verify that the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) works correctly when combining the transferred app with this "new SSL certificates, TLS certificates, and authentication tokens." However, until the recipient finishes verifying that it works correctly, the transferor want to keep the app available for download as before and be able to use the Apple Push Notification service. Is this possible? More specifically, can the recipient test the app to be transferred on TestFlight "before the transfer is completed"? I want to combine it with the "new SSL certificates, TLS certificates, and authentication tokens." and test it on TestFlight. Reading "[Initiate an app transfer]," it mentions the existence of a "Pending App Transfer" status. During this "Pending App Transfer" status, can the recipient test the app on TestFlight? Initiate an app transfer After you initiate the transfer, the app stays in its previous status, with the Pending App Transfer status added, until the recipient accepts it or the transfer expires after 60 days. Also, if there are any documents describing these procedures, I would appreciate it if you could share them. Thank you very much.

Carplay not read incoming chat message like whats app.
We have implemented Carplay in our voip based project and in this we have implemented Incoming call and chat notification feature for Carplay. For Carplay we implemented siri. Siri Object donated Successfully in Notification service Extension when notification didreceive method called. Donation Code :- func donateIncomingMessageIntent(sender: String, senderId: String, message: String, messageId: String, userInfo: [AnyHashable: Any],destination:String) { // Create proper name components clearAllinteraction() var nameComponents = PersonNameComponents() nameComponents.givenName = sender //unknown let senderPerson = INPerson( personHandle: INPersonHandle(value: senderId, type: .unknown), nameComponents: nameComponents, displayName: sender, image: nil, contactIdentifier: senderId, customIdentifier: "sender_\(senderId)" ) let recipientPerson = INPerson( personHandle: INPersonHandle(value: "me@example.com", type: .emailAddress), nameComponents: nil, displayName: "Me", image: nil, contactIdentifier: "me_id", customIdentifier: "user_id" ) let inMessage = INMessage( identifier: messageId, conversationIdentifier: "conversation_\(senderId)", content: message, dateSent: Date(), sender: senderPerson, recipients: [recipientPerson], groupName: nil, messageType: .text ) let intent = INSearchForMessagesIntent( recipients: [recipientPerson], senders: [senderPerson], searchTerms: [message], attributes: .unread, dateTime: nil, identifiers: [messageId], notificationIdentifiers: [messageId], groupNames: ["Messages"] ) let interaction = INInteraction(intent: intent, response: nil) interaction.identifier = "message_\(messageId)" interaction.direction = .incoming // Add direction DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated).async { interaction.donate { error in if let error = error { print("❌ Failed to donate INSearchForMessagesIntent: \(error.localizedDescription)") } else { print("✅ Donated INSearchForMessagesIntent successfully!") let intentData: [String: Any] = [ "senderName": sender, "senderId": senderId, "message": message, "messageId": messageId, "timestamp": Date().timeIntervalSince1970, "conversationId": "conversation_\(senderId)", // Add conversationId "destination":destination ] let defaults = UserDefaults(suiteName: "group.com.chatapp") // 🔁 Use your App Group ID defaults?.removeObject(forKey: "lastCarPlayIntentData") defaults?.set(intentData, forKey: "lastCarPlayIntentData") defaults?.synchronize() } } } } Here SenderID is like 3000@abc,2000@abc etc. In siri ,When we handle INSearchForMessagesIntent at that time all data getting from Userdefaults because without Userdefaults INSearchForMessagesIntent value nil. Even we enabled announcement using .allowAnnouncement. We also tried to save same sender in contact Book because sometime siri search contact and not found then may be raise this type of issue. So we need code level support for read incoming message in carplay when notification comes. Thank you.

Device token not being extracted - iOS app registered for push notifications but callback methods not called
Background: The project was created in Xcode 5, then recreated in new Xcode. Before migration, push notifications worked without issues, after migration device token stopped being extracted. Problem: iOS app registers for push notifications, but didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken or didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError methods are not being called. Current situation: App is registered for push notifications (isRegisteredForRemoteNotifications = true) Notification permissions are granted Entitlements are configured correctly (aps-environment: development) Bundle ID: com.autoserviceonline.app Team: BUSINESSVISION COMPANY, TOO (NS3FSG45V7) But callback methods are not being called What I've already tried: Deleted and recreated all App IDs in Apple Developer Portal Cleared Xcode cache and derived data Created new APNs certificates and provisioning profiles Removed "ghost" certificate from Keychain Access Problem persists Additional information: Also noticed that Push Notifications Console opens non-existent project "BV.TestSwiftData" with Personal Team instead of current corporate App ID com.autoserviceonline.app. These issues might be related to project migration from old Xcode. Request: Why iOS doesn't call callback methods for device token, although registration was successful?

Notifications scheduled but never delivered at scheduled time
Device: iPhone (real device) iOS: 17.x Permission: Granted Notifications are scheduled using UNCalendarNotificationTrigger. The function runs and prints "SCHEDULING STARTED". However, notifications never appear at 8:00 AM, even the next day. Here is my DailyNotifications file code: import Foundation import UserNotifications enum DailyNotifications { // CHANGE THESE TWO FOR TESTING / PRODUCTION // For testing set to a few minutes ahead static let hour: Int = 8 static let minute: Int = 0 // For production use: // static let hour: Int = 9 // static let minute: Int = 0 static let daysToSchedule: Int = 30 private static let idPrefix = "daily-thought-" private static let categoryId = "DAILY_THOUGHT" // MARK: - Permission static func requestPermission(completion: @escaping (Bool) -> Void) { let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current() center.requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .sound]) { granted, _ in DispatchQueue.main.async { completion(granted) } } } // MARK: - Schedule static func scheduleNext30Days(isPro: Bool) { print("SCHEDULING STARTED") let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current() center.getNotificationSettings { settings in guard settings.authorizationStatus == .authorized else { requestPermission { granted in if granted { scheduleNext30Days(isPro: isPro) } } return } // Remove old scheduled notifications center.getPendingNotificationRequests { pending in let idsToRemove = pending .map { $0.identifier } .filter { $0.hasPrefix(idPrefix) } center.removePendingNotificationRequests(withIdentifiers: idsToRemove) let calendar = Calendar.current let now = Date() for offset in 0..<daysToSchedule { guard let date = calendar.date(byAdding: .day, value: offset, to: now) else { continue } var comps = calendar.dateComponents([.year, .month, .day], from: date) comps.hour = hour comps.minute = minute guard let scheduleDate = calendar.date(from: comps) else { continue } if scheduleDate <= now { continue } let content = UNMutableNotificationContent() content.title = "Just One Thought" content.sound = .default content.categoryIdentifier = categoryId if isPro { content.body = thoughtForDate(scheduleDate) } else { content.body = "Your new thought is ready. Go Pro to reveal it." } let triggerComps = calendar.dateComponents( [.year, .month, .day, .hour, .minute], from: scheduleDate ) let trigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger( dateMatching: triggerComps, repeats: false ) let identifier = idPrefix + isoDay(scheduleDate) let request = UNNotificationRequest( identifier: identifier, content: content, trigger: trigger ) center.add(request) } } } } // MARK: - Cancel static func cancelAllScheduledDailyThoughts() { let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current() center.getPendingNotificationRequests { pending in let idsToRemove = pending .map { $0.identifier } .filter { $0.hasPrefix(idPrefix) } center.removePendingNotificationRequests(withIdentifiers: idsToRemove) } } // MARK: - Helpers private static func isoDay(_ date: Date) -> String { let formatter = DateFormatter() formatter.locale = Locale(identifier: "en_US_POSIX") formatter.dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd" return formatter.string(from: date) } private static func thoughtForDate(_ date: Date) -> String { guard let url = Bundle.main.url(forResource: "thoughts", withExtension: "json"), let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url), let quotes = try? JSONDecoder().decode([String].self, from: data), !quotes.isEmpty else { return "Stay steady. Your growth is happening." } let calendar = Calendar.current let comps = calendar.dateComponents([.year, .month, .day], from: date) let seed = (comps.year ?? 0) * 10000 + (comps.month ?? 0) * 100 + (comps.day ?? 0) let index = abs(seed) % quotes.count return quotes[index] } } Then here is my Justonethoughtapp code: import SwiftUI import UserNotifications @main struct JustOneThoughtApp: App { @StateObject private var thoughtStore = ThoughtStore() // MUST match App Store Connect EXACTLY @StateObject private var subManager = SubscriptionManager(productIDs: ["Justonethought.monthly"]) var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .environmentObject(thoughtStore) .environmentObject(subManager) .onAppear { // Ask for notification permission NotificationManager.shared.requestPermission() // Schedule notifications using PRO status DailyNotifications.scheduleNext30Days( isPro: subManager.isPro ) } } } } final class NotificationManager { static let shared = NotificationManager() private init() {} func requestPermission() { UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization( options: [.alert, .sound, .badge] ) { _, _ in } } }

Regarding "Overview of app transfer"
My iPhone VoIP app, which I'm developing, uses Apple Push Notification service (APNs). I have a question regarding the following statement found in "[Overview of app transfer > Apps using push notifications]" Overview of app transfer You must manually reestablish push notification services if transferring an app that uses the Apple Push Notifications service (APNs). The recipient must create a new client SSL certificate using their developer account, as associated client SSL certificates, TLS certificates, and authentication tokens aren’t transferred. Question Let's say the recipient of the app transfer creates a "new SSL certificates, TLS certificates, and authentication tokens." Afterward, we need to verify that the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) works correctly when combining the transferred app with this "new SSL certificates, TLS certificates, and authentication tokens." However, until the recipient finishes verifying that it works correctly, the transferor want to keep the app available for download as before and be able to use the Apple Push Notification service. Is this possible? More specifically, can the recipient test the app to be transferred on TestFlight "before the transfer is completed"? I want to combine it with the "new SSL certificates, TLS certificates, and authentication tokens." and test it on TestFlight. Reading "[Initiate an app transfer]," it mentions the existence of a "Pending App Transfer" status. During this "Pending App Transfer" status, can the recipient test the app on TestFlight? Initiate an app transfer After you initiate the transfer, the app stays in its previous status, with the Pending App Transfer status added, until the recipient accepts it or the transfer expires after 60 days. Also, if there are any documents describing these procedures, I would appreciate it if you could share them. Thank you very much.

Carplay not read incoming chat message like whats app.
We have implemented Carplay in our voip based project and in this we have implemented Incoming call and chat notification feature for Carplay. For Carplay we implemented siri. Siri Object donated Successfully in Notification service Extension when notification didreceive method called. Donation Code :- func donateIncomingMessageIntent(sender: String, senderId: String, message: String, messageId: String, userInfo: [AnyHashable: Any],destination:String) { // Create proper name components clearAllinteraction() var nameComponents = PersonNameComponents() nameComponents.givenName = sender //unknown let senderPerson = INPerson( personHandle: INPersonHandle(value: senderId, type: .unknown), nameComponents: nameComponents, displayName: sender, image: nil, contactIdentifier: senderId, customIdentifier: "sender_\(senderId)" ) let recipientPerson = INPerson( personHandle: INPersonHandle(value: "me@example.com", type: .emailAddress), nameComponents: nil, displayName: "Me", image: nil, contactIdentifier: "me_id", customIdentifier: "user_id" ) let inMessage = INMessage( identifier: messageId, conversationIdentifier: "conversation_\(senderId)", content: message, dateSent: Date(), sender: senderPerson, recipients: [recipientPerson], groupName: nil, messageType: .text ) let intent = INSearchForMessagesIntent( recipients: [recipientPerson], senders: [senderPerson], searchTerms: [message], attributes: .unread, dateTime: nil, identifiers: [messageId], notificationIdentifiers: [messageId], groupNames: ["Messages"] ) let interaction = INInteraction(intent: intent, response: nil) interaction.identifier = "message_\(messageId)" interaction.direction = .incoming // Add direction DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated).async { interaction.donate { error in if let error = error { print("❌ Failed to donate INSearchForMessagesIntent: \(error.localizedDescription)") } else { print("✅ Donated INSearchForMessagesIntent successfully!") let intentData: [String: Any] = [ "senderName": sender, "senderId": senderId, "message": message, "messageId": messageId, "timestamp": Date().timeIntervalSince1970, "conversationId": "conversation_\(senderId)", // Add conversationId "destination":destination ] let defaults = UserDefaults(suiteName: "group.com.chatapp") // 🔁 Use your App Group ID defaults?.removeObject(forKey: "lastCarPlayIntentData") defaults?.set(intentData, forKey: "lastCarPlayIntentData") defaults?.synchronize() } } } } Here SenderID is like 3000@abc,2000@abc etc. In siri ,When we handle INSearchForMessagesIntent at that time all data getting from Userdefaults because without Userdefaults INSearchForMessagesIntent value nil. Even we enabled announcement using .allowAnnouncement. We also tried to save same sender in contact Book because sometime siri search contact and not found then may be raise this type of issue. So we need code level support for read incoming message in carplay when notification comes. Thank you.

UNNotificationAttachment Sub-Optimal File Type Check
UNNotificationAttachment convenience init method seems to be checking for supported file types based on the extension of the file URL provided as a constructor parameter. This seems to be sub-optimal at best and incorrect at worst. Is this is a known issue for which a bug already exists?
