DPAN, MPAN, Cryptogram and Compliance
Hello everyone, I’m currently in the process of implementing Apple Pay on my company’s e-commerce website under a subscription model with recurring payments. I would appreciate some help in clarifying the following points: Is the applicationPrimaryAccountNumber the DPAN and the merchantTokenIdentifier the MPAN? If not, which fields represent each one or how do I recognise them? Is the onlinePaymentCryptogram used only for processing payments with the DPAN, or is it also involved when using the MPAN? Is the onlinePaymentCryptogram single-use or does it have an expiration time? Or is it reusable with no limits? According to Apple’s data policies, is it recommended for our servers to perform the payment token decryption (debundling), or should this only be handled by the payment gateway processor to stay compliant? Below is the payment request I’m using for testing, along with the decrypted payment token returned for a test card: Payment Request: { "countryCode": "US", "currencyCode": "USD", "merchantCapabilities": ["supports3DS", "supportsDebit", "supportsCredit"], "supportedNetworks": ["visa", "masterCard", "amex", "discover"], "requiredBillingContactFields": ["postalAddress", "name"], "lineItems": [ { "label": "Subtotal", "amount": "9" }, { "label": "Taxes", "amount": "1" } ], "total": { "label": "Demo (Card is not charged)", "amount": "10", "type": "final", "recurringPaymentIntervalUnit": "month" }, "recurringPaymentRequest": { "paymentDescription": "Recurring payment", "regularBilling": { "label": "Demo (Card is not charged)", "amount": "10", "type": "final", "paymentTiming": "recurring", "recurringPaymentIntervalUnit": "month" }, "managementURL": "${window.location.origin}/api/managePaymentMethod" } } Decrypted Payment Token: { "applicationPrimaryAccountNumber": "5204240494898922", "applicationExpirationDate": "280630", "currencyCode": "840", "transactionAmount": 0, "deviceManufacturerIdentifier": "050110030273", "paymentDataType": "3DSecure", "paymentData": { "onlinePaymentCryptogram": "MCt5xR+VnQAAAAM/8mUjAAADFIA=" }, "merchantTokenIdentifier": "DM4MMC1US000000042e438d170774669844e732a41c28e97", "merchantTokenMetadata": { "cardMetadata": { "longDescription": "Test Bank for MasterCard MTF", "cardCountry": "US", "shortDescription": "Test Bank 2", "fpanSuffix": "0049" }, "cardArt": [ { "url": "https://nc-crt-smp-device-asset.apple.com:443/broker/v1/assets/174ce63257704d93b00aff8aa09ec0d5", "name": "cardBackgroundCombined@2x.png", "type": "image/png" } ] } } Thanks in advance for your help and guidance.

StoreKit doesn't always work correctly in sandbox environment
There is an issue with StoreKit. The line let products = try await StoreKit.Product.products(for: ids) doesn't always work correctly. Sometimes it returns an array with the correct data, and sometimes it returns an empty array. I'm passing the correct ids to products(for:). This problem only occurs when using the sandbox environment (in TestFlight builds). In the App Store version, everything works fine. StoreKit configuration is none. All IAPs are approved. Everything was working fine before this. The problem was discovered on May 1, 2025.

Prevent my app from background activity
When I search, it's always people trying to do stuff in the background. I want my app to only do stuff when it is active. And this post https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/685525 seems to have prevented replies from the start.

Changing Screen Time Passcode does not protect apps with Screen Time enabled
Hello, The purpose of "Screen Time Passcode" under Settings/Screen Time is to protect Screen Time preferences and it is asked every time the user updates Downtime, App Limits, Content & Privacy Restrictions and so on. But the private passcode is not requested if the user disables Screen Time for a particular app (only Face ID or phone passcode is requested, but not the private Screen Time passcode). I think this is a mistake, I think the purpose of a private Screen Time passcode is to protect all settings, including apps that use this API, right? Is there any solution to this? Thank you.

Mic Button in Microsoft Web Chat Control Unresponsive in WKWebView After App Returns from Background (iOS)
We are integrating the Microsoft Web Chat Control inside a WKWebView in our iOS application. The microphone button (used for speech input) works as expected when the app is active. However, we are facing an issue when the app is sent to the background and then brought back to the foreground. Issue Details: When the app returns from background to foreground: 🔹 The mic button becomes unresponsive (taps are not recognized). 🔹 No permission prompt or speech functionality is triggered. 🔹 Other elements of the Web Chat control continue to work fine. This issue seems isolated to iOS and WKWebView usage. We have verified that microphone permissions are granted and there are no system-level blocks.

Can't load widget with a particular bundle id on Catalyst
Please note that the widgets sub forum is a 404: https://developer.apple.com/forums/post/question?community=1394020 I have a widget that works on iOS but doesn't work on Catalyst. The widget does not appear in the list of available widgets to install. It's related to the Bundle ID for the widget. If I use a fresh bundle ID the widget loads, but if I use the one I'm currently using for iOS it doesn't appear as available to install. To confirm it's related to the bundle ID I created a fresh project in xcode and recreated the behaviour. Any help greatly appreciated.

Keynote broken video links after macOS 15.4.1 update
After updating to macOS 14.4.1 keynote can't find all the outside video links. I have over 15 keynote presentations that I use to show videos. I have over 1500 videos. If I manually replace each video, I lose all the settings (thumbnails, cropping, animations, etc.). That's 15 years of work lost! Apple engineers tell me there's no other solution but to replace the videos manually. I've tried creating scripts via AIs but none of them work. Does anyone have any ideas?

Core Data complaining about store being opened without persistent history tracking... but I don't think that it has been
Since running on iOS 14b1, I'm getting this in my log (I have Core Data logging enabled): error: Store opened without NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey but previously had been opened with NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey - Forcing into Read Only mode store at 'file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/415B75A6-92C3-45FE-BE13-7D48D35909AF/StoreFile.sqlite' As far as I can tell, it's impossible to open my store without that key set - it's in the init() of my NSPersistentContainer subclass, before anyone calls it to load stores. Any ideas?

Polyline rendering below street labels in MapKitJS
Hello (: I’m working with MapKitJS and would like to render polylines that follow roads — similar to the behavior seen on maps.apple.com. While I can align polylines to roads manually, I haven’t found a way to render them below street names and road shields. Currently, all polylines appear above labels, which reduces readability when displaying routes in urban areas. On maps.apple.com, polylines are rendered under street labels, which provides a much cleaner appearance. Is there a way to achieve this layering behavior in MapKitJS? If not, are there plans to support this kind of layer control in the future? Thanks in advance! MapKitJS (5.45.0): maps.apple.com:

Can ManagedSettingsStore() block the app that configures it — and how to prevent it?
Hi everyone, I’m working with the ManagedSettingsStore API for managing Screen Time restrictions and I have a specific question: Is it possible for an app to block itself using ManagedSettingsStore() — for example, by applying an application category restriction or setting a specific block on its own bundle ID? If so, what strategies or best practices are recommended to avoid accidentally blocking the app itself while applying restrictions to other apps or categories? I haven’t found any official documentation confirming whether the system prevents self-blocking automatically or if this is something developers need to manage explicitly. Thanks for any clarification or advice you can provide!

Matter Generic Switch not resuming subscription on reboot
I'm developing a Matter-over-thread generic switch with 2 generic switch endpoints. This is configured as an Intermittently Connected Device with Long Idle Time. I have an Apple TV serving as the thread border router. I'm able to commission the device successfully in the Home app and assign actions to each of the buttons however when the device is rebooted the subscription doesn't appear to resume successfully and the buttons no longer work. I've tested this on various SOC's with their respective SDKs including ESP32-C6, nrf52840 and EFR32MG24 and the behaviour was consistent across all of them. It was working originally when I first started out on the ESP32-C6, then the issue popped up first when I was testing the nrf52840. In that SDK I set persistent subscriptions explicitly and it seemed to resolve the issue until it popped up again when I found that unplugging and restarting the Apple TV completely which appeared to fix the issue with subscriptions not resuming. Recently I've added a Home Pod Mini Gen 2 to the matter fabric so there are now two TBR on the network and restarting both the Apple TV and the HomePod doesn't appear to resolve the issue anymore and the subscriptions are not resuming across all three SOC's on device reboot I'm wondering if there might be something preventing the subscriptions from resuming?

AppStore response times for the store test environment to make purchases is very long.
I enter the payment wall, there it takes more or less 3 to 4 minutes to show the plans, when I select the monthly plan the loader is shown and from there the pop up to make the purchase in sandbox does not appear, I have waited until a maximum of 50 minutes and it is not shown, I go back and close the app I do the same steps and I am still there, without showing the pop up. Doing this same process in xcode, everything happens immediately without any interruption.

User charged, but .userCancelled returned
Hello, Is anyone else seeing Purchase.PurchaseResult.UserCancelled, despite a successful transaction? I had a user notify me today that he: Attempted a purchase Entered payment credentials Was asked to opt in to email subscription notifications Opted In Was shown my app's "User Canceled Purchase" UI Attempted to repurchase Was alerted that he was "Already Subscribed" I have adjusted my code to check Transaction.currentEntitlements on receiving a .userCancelled result, to avoid this in the future. Is this logically sound? Here is my code - please let me know if you see any issues: func purchase(product: Product, userId: String) async throws -> StoreKit.Transaction { let purchaseUUID = UUID() let options: Set<Product.PurchaseOption> = [.appAccountToken(purchaseUUID)] let result = try await product.purchase(options: options) switch result { case .success(let verification): guard case .verified(let tx) = verification else { throw PurchaseError.verificationFailed // Show Error UI } return try await processVerified(tx) case .userCancelled: for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { if case .verified(let tx) = result, tx.productID == product.id, tx.revocationDate == nil { return try await processVerified(tx) } } throw PurchaseError.cancelled // Show User Cancelled UI case .pending: throw PurchaseError.pending // Show Pending UI @unknown default: throw PurchaseError.unknown // Show Error UI } } @MainActor func processVerified(_ transaction: StoreKit.Transaction) async throws -> StoreKit.Transaction { let id = String(transaction.id) if await transactionCache.contains(id) { await transaction.finish() return transaction // Show Success UI } let (ok, error) = await notifyServer(transaction) guard ok else { throw error ?? PurchaseError.serverFailure(nil) // Show Error UI } await transaction.finish() await transactionCache.insert(id) return transaction // Show Success UI } The only place the "User Cancelled Purchase" UI is displayed on my app is after the one instance of "throw PurchaseError.cancelled" above. This happened in Production, but I have also seen userCancelled happen unexpectedly in Sandbox. Thank you for your time and help.

Siri Intent - Car Commands
Hi Community, I'm new on Siri intents and I'm trying to introduce into my App a Siri Intent for Car Commands. The objective is to list into the Apple Maps the Car list of my App. Currently I've created my own target with its corresponding IntentHandlings, but in the .intentdefinition file of my App, I'm not able to find the List Car Intent. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sirikit/car-commands Do I need some auth? Also I share my info.plist from the IntentExtension. Thank you very much, David.

How to change default settings(a4,color etc.) on print system dialog in macOS programatically
Hello, I added a printer using lpadmin command. ` lpadmin "-p", "print_queue", "-D", "print queue", "-P", "temp/data/driver.ppd", "-E", "-o", "printer-error-policy=abort-job", "-o", "printer-is-shared=false", "-o", "cupsIPPSupplies=false", "-o", "cupsSNMPSupplies=false", "-o", "ColorModel=Color", "-o", "Media=A3", "-o", "OutputPaperSize=A3" then I set default printing options for your user account via lpoptions `lpoptions "-p", "print_queue", "-o", "Duplex=DuplexNoTumble", "-o", "Media=A3" But still default values in system print dialog are set to a4 and grayscale. Why? Is there any way how to change it to correspond with values set by these commands? Also tried to change driver files defaults, but again, nothing.

Issue Details: When the app returns from background to foreground: 🔹 The mic button becomes unresponsive (taps are not recognized). 🔹 No permission prompt or speech functionality is triggered. 🔹 Other elements of the Web Chat control continue to work fine. This issue seems isolated to iOS and WKWebView usage. We have verified that microphone permissions are granted and there are no system-level blocks.

Can't load widget with a particular bundle id on Catalyst
Please note that the widgets sub forum is a 404: https://developer.apple.com/forums/post/question?community=1394020 I have a widget that works on iOS but doesn't work on Catalyst. The widget does not appear in the list of available widgets to install. It's related to the Bundle ID for the widget. If I use a fresh bundle ID the widget loads, but if I use the one I'm currently using for iOS it doesn't appear as available to install. To confirm it's related to the bundle ID I created a fresh project in xcode and recreated the behaviour. Any help greatly appreciated.

Keynote broken video links after macOS 15.4.1 update
After updating to macOS 14.4.1 keynote can't find all the outside video links. I have over 15 keynote presentations that I use to show videos. I have over 1500 videos. If I manually replace each video, I lose all the settings (thumbnails, cropping, animations, etc.). That's 15 years of work lost! Apple engineers tell me there's no other solution but to replace the videos manually. I've tried creating scripts via AIs but none of them work. Does anyone have any ideas?

Core Data complaining about store being opened without persistent history tracking... but I don't think that it has been
Since running on iOS 14b1, I'm getting this in my log (I have Core Data logging enabled): error: Store opened without NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey but previously had been opened with NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey - Forcing into Read Only mode store at 'file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/415B75A6-92C3-45FE-BE13-7D48D35909AF/StoreFile.sqlite' As far as I can tell, it's impossible to open my store without that key set - it's in the init() of my NSPersistentContainer subclass, before anyone calls it to load stores. Any ideas?

Xcode downloads client crash report with reason "index 0 beyond bounds for empty array" but the stacktraces don't contain any of my app's symbols
All the threads only contain system calls. The crashed thread only contains a single call to my app's code which is main.swift:13. What could cause such a crash? crash.crash

Polyline rendering below street labels in MapKitJS
Hello (: I’m working with MapKitJS and would like to render polylines that follow roads — similar to the behavior seen on maps.apple.com. While I can align polylines to roads manually, I haven’t found a way to render them below street names and road shields. Currently, all polylines appear above labels, which reduces readability when displaying routes in urban areas. On maps.apple.com, polylines are rendered under street labels, which provides a much cleaner appearance. Is there a way to achieve this layering behavior in MapKitJS? If not, are there plans to support this kind of layer control in the future? Thanks in advance! MapKitJS (5.45.0): maps.apple.com:

Can ManagedSettingsStore() block the app that configures it — and how to prevent it?
Hi everyone, I’m working with the ManagedSettingsStore API for managing Screen Time restrictions and I have a specific question: Is it possible for an app to block itself using ManagedSettingsStore() — for example, by applying an application category restriction or setting a specific block on its own bundle ID? If so, what strategies or best practices are recommended to avoid accidentally blocking the app itself while applying restrictions to other apps or categories? I haven’t found any official documentation confirming whether the system prevents self-blocking automatically or if this is something developers need to manage explicitly. Thanks for any clarification or advice you can provide!

Matter Generic Switch not resuming subscription on reboot
I'm developing a Matter-over-thread generic switch with 2 generic switch endpoints. This is configured as an Intermittently Connected Device with Long Idle Time. I have an Apple TV serving as the thread border router. I'm able to commission the device successfully in the Home app and assign actions to each of the buttons however when the device is rebooted the subscription doesn't appear to resume successfully and the buttons no longer work. I've tested this on various SOC's with their respective SDKs including ESP32-C6, nrf52840 and EFR32MG24 and the behaviour was consistent across all of them. It was working originally when I first started out on the ESP32-C6, then the issue popped up first when I was testing the nrf52840. In that SDK I set persistent subscriptions explicitly and it seemed to resolve the issue until it popped up again when I found that unplugging and restarting the Apple TV completely which appeared to fix the issue with subscriptions not resuming. Recently I've added a Home Pod Mini Gen 2 to the matter fabric so there are now two TBR on the network and restarting both the Apple TV and the HomePod doesn't appear to resolve the issue anymore and the subscriptions are not resuming across all three SOC's on device reboot I'm wondering if there might be something preventing the subscriptions from resuming?

AppStore response times for the store test environment to make purchases is very long.
I enter the payment wall, there it takes more or less 3 to 4 minutes to show the plans, when I select the monthly plan the loader is shown and from there the pop up to make the purchase in sandbox does not appear, I have waited until a maximum of 50 minutes and it is not shown, I go back and close the app I do the same steps and I am still there, without showing the pop up. Doing this same process in xcode, everything happens immediately without any interruption.

User charged, but .userCancelled returned
Hello, Is anyone else seeing Purchase.PurchaseResult.UserCancelled, despite a successful transaction? I had a user notify me today that he: Attempted a purchase Entered payment credentials Was asked to opt in to email subscription notifications Opted In Was shown my app's "User Canceled Purchase" UI Attempted to repurchase Was alerted that he was "Already Subscribed" I have adjusted my code to check Transaction.currentEntitlements on receiving a .userCancelled result, to avoid this in the future. Is this logically sound? Here is my code - please let me know if you see any issues: func purchase(product: Product, userId: String) async throws -> StoreKit.Transaction { let purchaseUUID = UUID() let options: Set<Product.PurchaseOption> = [.appAccountToken(purchaseUUID)] let result = try await product.purchase(options: options) switch result { case .success(let verification): guard case .verified(let tx) = verification else { throw PurchaseError.verificationFailed // Show Error UI } return try await processVerified(tx) case .userCancelled: for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { if case .verified(let tx) = result, tx.productID == product.id, tx.revocationDate == nil { return try await processVerified(tx) } } throw PurchaseError.cancelled // Show User Cancelled UI case .pending: throw PurchaseError.pending // Show Pending UI @unknown default: throw PurchaseError.unknown // Show Error UI } } @MainActor func processVerified(_ transaction: StoreKit.Transaction) async throws -> StoreKit.Transaction { let id = String(transaction.id) if await transactionCache.contains(id) { await transaction.finish() return transaction // Show Success UI } let (ok, error) = await notifyServer(transaction) guard ok else { throw error ?? PurchaseError.serverFailure(nil) // Show Error UI } await transaction.finish() await transactionCache.insert(id) return transaction // Show Success UI } The only place the "User Cancelled Purchase" UI is displayed on my app is after the one instance of "throw PurchaseError.cancelled" above. This happened in Production, but I have also seen userCancelled happen unexpectedly in Sandbox. Thank you for your time and help.

Siri Intent - Car Commands
Hi Community, I'm new on Siri intents and I'm trying to introduce into my App a Siri Intent for Car Commands. The objective is to list into the Apple Maps the Car list of my App. Currently I've created my own target with its corresponding IntentHandlings, but in the .intentdefinition file of my App, I'm not able to find the List Car Intent. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sirikit/car-commands Do I need some auth? Also I share my info.plist from the IntentExtension. Thank you very much, David.

How to change default settings(a4,color etc.) on print system dialog in macOS programatically
Hello, I added a printer using lpadmin command. ` lpadmin "-p", "print_queue", "-D", "print queue", "-P", "temp/data/driver.ppd", "-E", "-o", "printer-error-policy=abort-job", "-o", "printer-is-shared=false", "-o", "cupsIPPSupplies=false", "-o", "cupsSNMPSupplies=false", "-o", "ColorModel=Color", "-o", "Media=A3", "-o", "OutputPaperSize=A3" then I set default printing options for your user account via lpoptions `lpoptions "-p", "print_queue", "-o", "Duplex=DuplexNoTumble", "-o", "Media=A3" But still default values in system print dialog are set to a4 and grayscale. Why? Is there any way how to change it to correspond with values set by these commands? Also tried to change driver files defaults, but again, nothing.
