Screen Time API: How to map bundleIdentifier to ApplicationToken for DeviceActivityMonitor when FamilyActivitySelection.Application.bundleIdentifier is nil?
I'm using FamilyActivityPicker to get consent for app/category management, which returns a FamilyActivitySelection object. I serialize this FamilyActivitySelection object (just applicationTokens and categoryTokens) and pass it to my DeviceActivityMonitor extension via App Group UserDefaults. I am using the JSON encoder/decoder over PropertyList (though both seem to exhibit the same behavior). After inspecting the FamilyActivitySelection object immediately after it's returned by FamilyActivityPicker in the main app, the application.bundleIdentifier property is consistently nil for every Application object within selection.applications. Similarly, category.localizedDisplayName is nil for ActivityCategory objects. This happens whether "Select All Apps" is used or if apps/categories are selected individually. I understand that this is the intended behavior due to Apple's user privacy policies. I read on another post that my app can be provided with bundle identifiers and app names within Shield Configuration extensions and Device Activity Report extensions - I'm not sure which ones or how exactly to do this. I am aware that I can use Label(applicationToken) SwiftUI view to display the app name/icon, but this doesn't give programmatic access to the bundleIdentifier string. My app will not log or export these bundleIdentifiers outside of its sandbox. My goal is to create mappings to the FamilyActivitySelection with the publicly accessible bundleIdentifiers. Any guidance, examples, or clarification on the intended workflow for this scenario would be greatly appreciated!

Push Notifications Failing - Xcode shows "Untitled" Certificates & "No App ID" for Push Console after Org Account Migration
Hi everyone, I recently migrated my individual Apple Developer account to an Organization account for my company "". My Team ID remained the same. I'm now facing persistent issues with code signing and push notifications for my iOS app (Bundle ID: com.).
 Current Problems:
 "Untitled" Certificates in Xcode: When I go to Xcode -> Settings -> Accounts -> [My Apple ID] -> Select "" Team -> "Manage Certificates...", a number of my newly created Apple Development and Apple Distribution certificates are listed древ "Untitled". Some older ones are "Revoked". (See attached screenshot if possible).
 "No App ID" for Push Notifications Console: In my app target's "Signing & Capabilities" tab, I've added the "Push Notifications" capability. However, when I click the info button to open the "Push Notifications Console", it states: "no app IDs: Register an App ID with the Push Notifications capability enabled to use the Push Notifications console." This is despite the fact that the Push Notifications capability IS enabled for my App ID com. in the Developer Portal, and I've configured an APNs Auth Key (.p8) for it.
 Push Notifications Not Received (from Backend): While I can successfully send a test push notification directly from the Firebase Console to my device's FCM token, notifications triggered by my backend (Firebase Cloud Functions writing to a Firestore collection, which then triggers another function to send via FCM) are not being delivered to iOS devices. (Android seems to be working more reliably now).
 Setup: Using an APNs Authentication Key (.p8) linked to my Organization Team ID in Firebase Cloud Messaging. Main App ID com. has "Push Notifications" capability enabled. Notification Service Extension com..ImageNotification also has its App ID and Provisioning Profile set up for the Organization team. Created new Development and Distribution certificates and Provisioning Profiles specifically for the Organization team. Using "Automatically manage signing" in Xcode with the Organization team selected for both the main app target and the extension target.
 Troubleshooting Done: Revoked old/problematic certificates and profiles. Recreated CSRs and new Development/Distribution certificates under the Organization team multiple times. Recreated Provisioning Profiles. Cleaned Derived Data in Xcode. Ensured Bundle Identifiers are consistent. Verified APNs Auth Key details (Key ID, Team ID) in Firebase.
 I suspect there's a fundamental issue with how Xcode is recognizing or linking the signing assets for my Organization team after the account type change, despite the Team ID being the same. The "Untitled" certificates are a major red flag.
 Has anyone encountered similar issues, particularly the "Untitled" certificates or the "No App ID" message for the Push Console, after an account migration or when working with Organization accounts? Any insights on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.
 Thanks,
Benni

ForEach and RandomAccessCollection
I'm trying to build a custom FetchRequest that I can use outside a View. I've built the following ObservableFetchRequest class based on this article: https://augmentedcode.io/2023/04/03/nsfetchedresultscontroller-wrapper-for-swiftui-view-models @Observable @MainActor class ObservableFetchRequest<Result: Storable>: NSObject, @preconcurrency NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate { private let controller: NSFetchedResultsController<Result.E> private var results: [Result] = [] init(context: NSManagedObjectContext = .default, predicate: NSPredicate? = Result.E.defaultPredicate(), sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor] = Result.E.sortDescripors) { guard let request = Result.E.fetchRequest() as? NSFetchRequest<Result.E> else { fatalError("Failed to create fetch request for \(Result.self)") } request.predicate = predicate request.sortDescriptors = sortDescriptors controller = NSFetchedResultsController(fetchRequest: request, managedObjectContext: context, sectionNameKeyPath: nil, cacheName: nil) super.init() controller.delegate = self fetch() } private func fetch() { do { try controller.performFetch() refresh() } catch { fatalError("Failed to fetch results for \(Result.self)") } } private func refresh() { results = controller.fetchedObjects?.map { Result($0) } ?? [] } var predicate: NSPredicate? { get { controller.fetchRequest.predicate } set { controller.fetchRequest.predicate = newValue fetch() } } var sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor] { get { controller.fetchRequest.sortDescriptors ?? [] } set { controller.fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = newValue.isEmpty ? nil : newValue fetch() } } internal func controllerDidChangeContent(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController<any NSFetchRequestResult>) { refresh() } } Till this point, everything works fine. Then, I conformed my class to RandomAccessCollection, so I could use in a ForEach loop without having to access the results property. extension ObservableFetchRequest: @preconcurrency RandomAccessCollection, @preconcurrency MutableCollection { subscript(position: Index) -> Result { get { results[position] } set { results[position] = newValue } } public var endIndex: Index { results.endIndex } public var indices: Indices { results.indices } public var startIndex: Index { results.startIndex } public func distance(from start: Index, to end: Index) -> Int { results.distance(from: start, to: end) } public func index(_ i: Index, offsetBy distance: Int) -> Index { results.index(i, offsetBy: distance) } public func index(_ i: Index, offsetBy distance: Int, limitedBy limit: Index) -> Index? { results.index(i, offsetBy: distance, limitedBy: limit) } public func index(after i: Index) -> Index { results.index(after: i) } public func index(before i: Index) -> Index { results.index(before: i) } public typealias Element = Result public typealias Index = Int } The issue is, when I update the ObservableFetchRequest predicate while searching, it causes a Index out of range error in the Collection subscript because the ForEach loop (or a List loop) access a old version of the array when the item property is optional. List(request, selection: $selection) { item in VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text(item.content) if let information = item.information { // here's the issue, if I leave this out, everything works Text(information) .font(.callout) .foregroundStyle(.secondary) } } .tag(item.id) .contextMenu { if Item.self is Client.Type { Button("Editar") { openWindow(ClientView(client: item as! Client), id: item.id!) } } } } Is it some RandomAccessCollection issue or a SwiftUI bug?

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?

Call directory extension name not localised in settings iOS 15.3
I have two call directory extensions, each with InfoPlist.strings in en.lproj and nb.lproj directories. In these files I've defined CFBundleDisplayName for both locales. These names are displayed under Settings -> Phone -> Call Blocking & Identification. On iOS 12.2 the names are displayed correctly in both Norwegian and English. Testing on iOS 15.3 the English names are displayed even when device language is set to Norwegian. Worth noting: When updating the English versions of CFBundleDisplayName this is immediately reflected in Call Blocking & Identification page with Norwegian device language. As this feature requires a real device, I'm unable to test on iOS 13 and 14.

Is it possible to communicate with peripherals through the TypeC port of Apple 15 or above mobile phones?
I need to implement an app that exchanges data with peripherals through TypeC on Apple 15 phones, but I have two questions that I need to ask for help: Which library is used to communicate with peripherals through the TypeC port of the Apple mobile phone? Do peripherals need to pass MFi authentication before they can communicate with the App?

DeviceDiscoveryUI notification for iPad says iPhone?
I have been polishing an app that connects and communicates between a tvOS app I created and a iPadOS app that I also created. Connection works fantastic! However, for some reason when the user selects the button to open the DevicePicker provided by this API and then selects a iPad device the notification that comes across the the iPad reads, "Connect your Apple TV to "AppName" on this iPhone. Is this a bug or am I missing some configuration in maybe Info.plist or a modifier I need to add the DevicePicker for it to communicate the proper device identification? I have everything setup in both app Info.plist files to connect and work fine, but the notification saying iPhone on an iPad is sadly a small detail I would love to change. So...not sure if I found a bug or if I am missing something.

Inquiry regarding StoreKit Messages for Free Trial Conversion and Recurring Payment Consent in South Korea
Dear Apple Developer Support, Our iOS application offers subscriptions with a free trial period. We understand that in South Korea, due to local subscription regulations, users must explicitly provide consent for recurring payments before the subscription converts from a free trial to a paid period. We have the following questions regarding how StoreKit handles this scenario: When a free trial is about to convert to a paid subscription for a user in South Korea, does StoreKit send a StoreKit.Message (or SKStorefront.Message) to the application to obtain the required consent for recurring payments? If such a message is sent, would the Reason for this message be StoreKit.Message.Reason.priceIncreaseConsent, or would it be another specific reason related to initial recurring payment consent after a trial? If our application receives such a message and we choose to defer its display, what is the maximum recommended or permissible deferral period? Is it possible to save the data of a received StoreKit.Message and display it to the user at a later time, for instance, after the application has been closed and subsequently reopened? Are there any best practices or limitations regarding this? We need this information to ensure our application correctly handles these consent requirements in compliance with South Korean policies and provides a smooth user experience. Thank you for your guidance.

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?

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?

Localization issue for appname(Singapore)
I need to display a different app name based on the user's region/language. This setup works correctly for regions like the United Kingdom, Australia. However, for Singapore, the app always falls back to the UK version (en-GB) instead of picking the localized name defined under en-SG. Interestingly, system alerts like location permission and app deletion do use the en-SG localization correctly. Could you help identify why the app name isn't picking up the en-SG version and suggest how we can resolve this?

BLE Performance Issue – Increased Latency When Running Scan Algorithm via iPad
I'm developing an application in Swift using Xcode on an iPad Pro. The app communicates over BLE with a custom hardware board. The board runs a scan algorithm in response to commands from the iPad application. When testing the scan algorithm on the board independently, it completes in approximately 35 ms. However, when triggered via BLE communication from the iPad, the same algorithm takes around 150 ms to complete (roughly equivalent to 3 BLE messages). Is this level of latency expected when using BLE on iOS, or is there a way to reduce it? I’d appreciate any guidance on improving the performance. Thank you!

How can I integrate Apple Pay subscription products?
We have used the ApplePayRecurringRequest parameter required for Apple Pay subscriptions, but during testing the payment, the Apple Pay payment page shown to the user remains the same as the one-time payment page, without any subscription information. Could you please check if there is an issue with our parameters or if there is an issue with the merchantIdentifier being used? Here is the ApplePayRequestData that we are using. { "supportedMethods": "https://apple.com/apple-pay", "data": { "version": 3, "merchantIdentifier": "***", "merchantCapabilities": [ "supports3DS", "supportsCredit", "supportsDebit" ], "supportedNetworks": [ "visa", "masterCard" ], "countryCode": "US", "recurringPaymentRequest": { "paymentDescription": "A description of the recurring payment to display to the user in the payment sheet.", "regularBilling": { "label": "Recurring", "amount": "4.99", "paymentTiming": "recurring", "recurringPaymentStartDate": "2025-06-02T16:00:00.000Z" }, "trialBilling": { "label": "7 Day Trial", "amount": "0.00", "paymentTiming": "recurring", "recurringPaymentEndDate": "2025-06-02T16:00:00.000Z" }, "billingAgreement": "A localized billing agreement displayed to the user in the payment sheet prior to the payment authorization.", "managementURL": "https://applepaydemo.apple.com", "tokenNotificationURL": "https://applepaydemo.apple.com" }, "additionalLineItems": [ { "label": "7 Day Trial", "amount": "0.00", "paymentTiming": "recurring", "recurringPaymentEndDate": "2025-06-02T16:00:00.000Z" }, { "label": "Recurring", "amount": "4.99", "paymentTiming": "recurring", "recurringPaymentStartDate": "2025-06-02T16:00:00.000Z" } ] }

Translation API & Download Language Sheet
Using Apple SwiftUI Translate library: when calling: try await session.prepareTranslation() the first time, the API's Language Download sheet does not show (or shows briefly and dismisses immediately) Even when the sheet doesn't show, the keyboard is lowered, as though the sheet would be appearing, but then the keyboard raises as though the sheet was dismissed. The following Errors are printed in the console dozens of times; but on all subsequent executions, the API Language Download sheet shows as expected. The trigger code is in a function which is executed when a Translate button is tapped. Any ideas would be welcome!

Long running data BLE data syncing in the background
I am working on a Flutter application which is use solely to collect data from a bluetooth low energy (BLE) peripheral and then upload the data to our cloud. The application runs in the background 99% of the time after the initial login and BLE pairing which is causing us some issues. After the Application is backgrounded it would work for a day to 2 days and then stop working. (What I mean with working is to download data from the BLE peripheral and then upload the data to our cloud). Once the data syncing has stopped it would take up to 12 hours until data starts flowing again. I have read in a couple of places that iOS implements some sort of "budget/heuristics" when the application is running in the background to keep track of the application and when this "budget" is used up iOS will stop servicing the application until iOS decides that the application can run in the background again. My question, is it possible via a enablement or some other mechanism to prevent iOS from blocking our application from running in the background to enable 24/7 periodic data uploads every 30 minutes. We have implemented the following so far; The data sync process is triggered from the BLE peripheral using a notification. This notification is sent every 30 minutes. Each sync duration is currently 24 seconds on average, we are working on reducing this to below 10 seconds. We implemented State Restoration to assist iOS in starting the application more efficiently. We are considering using Silent Push Notifications from the Cloud to wake up the application when data hasn't synced in 6 hours. Any assistance would be high appreciated.

Screen Time API: How to map bundleIdentifier to ApplicationToken for DeviceActivityMonitor when FamilyActivitySelection.Application.bundleIdentifier is nil?
I'm using FamilyActivityPicker to get consent for app/category management, which returns a FamilyActivitySelection object. I serialize this FamilyActivitySelection object (just applicationTokens and categoryTokens) and pass it to my DeviceActivityMonitor extension via App Group UserDefaults. I am using the JSON encoder/decoder over PropertyList (though both seem to exhibit the same behavior). After inspecting the FamilyActivitySelection object immediately after it's returned by FamilyActivityPicker in the main app, the application.bundleIdentifier property is consistently nil for every Application object within selection.applications. Similarly, category.localizedDisplayName is nil for ActivityCategory objects. This happens whether "Select All Apps" is used or if apps/categories are selected individually. I understand that this is the intended behavior due to Apple's user privacy policies. I read on another post that my app can be provided with bundle identifiers and app names within Shield Configuration extensions and Device Activity Report extensions - I'm not sure which ones or how exactly to do this. I am aware that I can use Label(applicationToken) SwiftUI view to display the app name/icon, but this doesn't give programmatic access to the bundleIdentifier string. My app will not log or export these bundleIdentifiers outside of its sandbox. My goal is to create mappings to the FamilyActivitySelection with the publicly accessible bundleIdentifiers.

Push Notifications Failing - Xcode shows "Untitled" Certificates & "No App ID" for Push Console after Org Account Migration

ForEach and RandomAccessCollection
I'm trying to build a custom FetchRequest that I can use outside a View.

[] } set { controller.fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = newValue.isEmpty ? nil : newValue fetch() } } internal func controllerDidChangeContent(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController&lt;any NSFetchRequestResult&gt;) { refresh() } } Till this point, everything works fine. Then, I conformed my class to RandomAccessCollection, so I could use in a ForEach loop without having to access the results property. extension ObservableFetchRequest: @preconcurrency RandomAccessCollection, @preconcurrency MutableCollection { subscript(position: Index) -&gt; Result { get { results[position] } set { results[position] = newValue } } public var endIndex: Index { results.endIndex } public var indices: Indices { results.indices } public var startIndex: Index { results.startIndex } public func distance(from start: Index, to end: Index) -&gt; Int { results.distance(from: start, to: end) } public func index(_ i: Index, offsetBy distance: Int) -&gt; Index { results.index(i, offsetBy: distance) } public func index(_ i: Index, offsetBy distance: Int, limitedBy limit: Index) -&gt; Index? { results.index(i, offsetBy: distance, limitedBy: limit) } public func index(after i: Index) -&gt; Index { results.index(after: i) } public func index(before i: Index) -&gt; Index { results.index(before: i) } public typealias Element = Result public typealias Index = Int } The issue is, when I update the ObservableFetchRequest predicate while searching, it causes a Index out of range error in the Collection subscript because the ForEach loop (or a List loop) access a old version of the array when the item property is optional. List(request, selection: $selection) { item in VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text(item.content) if let information = item.information { // here's the issue, if I leave this out, everything works Text(information) .font(.callout) .foregroundStyle(.secondary) } } .tag(item.id) .contextMenu { if Item.self is Client.Type { Button("Editar") { openWindow(ClientView(client: item as! Client), id: item.id!) } } } } Is it some RandomAccessCollection issue or a SwiftUI bug?

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?

Call directory extension name not localised in settings iOS 15.3
I have two call directory extensions, each with InfoPlist.strings in en.lproj and nb.lproj directories. In these files I've defined CFBundleDisplayName for both locales. These names are displayed under Settings -> Phone -> Call Blocking & Identification. On iOS 12.2 the names are displayed correctly in both Norwegian and English. Testing on iOS 15.3 the English names are displayed even when device language is set to Norwegian. Worth noting: When updating the English versions of CFBundleDisplayName this is immediately reflected in Call Blocking & Identification page with Norwegian device language. As this feature requires a real device, I'm unable to test on iOS 13 and 14.

Is it possible to communicate with peripherals through the TypeC port of Apple 15 or above mobile phones?
I need to implement an app that exchanges data with peripherals through TypeC on Apple 15 phones, but I have two questions that I need to ask for help: Which library is used to communicate with peripherals through the TypeC port of the Apple mobile phone? Do peripherals need to pass MFi authentication before they can communicate with the App?

DeviceDiscoveryUI notification for iPad says iPhone?
I have been polishing an app that connects and communicates between a tvOS app I created and a iPadOS app that I also created. Connection works fantastic! However, for some reason when the user selects the button to open the DevicePicker provided by this API and then selects a iPad device the notification that comes across the the iPad reads, "Connect your Apple TV to "AppName" on this iPhone. Is this a bug or am I missing some configuration in maybe Info.plist or a modifier I need to add the DevicePicker for it to communicate the proper device identification? I have everything setup in both app Info.plist files to connect and work fine, but the notification saying iPhone on an iPad is sadly a small detail I would love to change. So...not sure if I found a bug or if I am missing something.

Inquiry regarding StoreKit Messages for Free Trial Conversion and Recurring Payment Consent in South Korea
Dear Apple Developer Support, Our iOS application offers subscriptions with a free trial period. We understand that in South Korea, due to local subscription regulations, users must explicitly provide consent for recurring payments before the subscription converts from a free trial to a paid period. We have the following questions regarding how StoreKit handles this scenario: When a free trial is about to convert to a paid subscription for a user in South Korea, does StoreKit send a StoreKit.Message (or SKStorefront.Message) to the application to obtain the required consent for recurring payments? If such a message is sent, would the Reason for this message be StoreKit.Message.Reason.priceIncreaseConsent, or would it be another specific reason related to initial recurring payment consent after a trial? If our application receives such a message and we choose to defer its display, what is the maximum recommended or permissible deferral period? Is it possible to save the data of a received StoreKit.Message and display it to the user at a later time, for instance, after the application has been closed and subsequently reopened? Are there any best practices or limitations regarding this? We need this information to ensure our application correctly handles these consent requirements in compliance with South Korean policies and provides a smooth user experience. Thank you for your guidance.

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?

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?

Localization issue for appname(Singapore)
I need to display a different app name based on the user's region/language. This setup works correctly for regions like the United Kingdom, Australia. However, for Singapore, the app always falls back to the UK version (en-GB) instead of picking the localized name defined under en-SG. Interestingly, system alerts like location permission and app deletion do use the en-SG localization correctly. Could you help identify why the app name isn't picking up the en-SG version and suggest how we can resolve this?

BLE Performance Issue – Increased Latency When Running Scan Algorithm via iPad
I'm developing an application in Swift using Xcode on an iPad Pro. The app communicates over BLE with a custom hardware board. The board runs a scan algorithm in response to commands from the iPad application. When testing the scan algorithm on the board independently, it completes in approximately 35 ms. However, when triggered via BLE communication from the iPad, the same algorithm takes around 150 ms to complete (roughly equivalent to 3 BLE messages). Is this level of latency expected when using BLE on iOS, or is there a way to reduce it? I’d appreciate any guidance on improving the performance. Thank you!

How can I integrate Apple Pay subscription products?
We have used the ApplePayRecurringRequest parameter required for Apple Pay subscriptions, but during testing the payment, the Apple Pay payment page shown to the user remains the same as the one-time payment page, without any subscription information. Could you please check if there is an issue with our parameters or if there is an issue with the merchantIdentifier being used? Here is the ApplePayRequestData that we are using. { "supportedMethods": "https://apple.com/apple-pay", "data": { "version": 3, "merchantIdentifier": "***", "merchantCapabilities": [ "supports3DS", "supportsCredit", "supportsDebit" ], "supportedNetworks": [ "visa", "masterCard" ], "countryCode": "US", "recurringPaymentRequest": { "paymentDescription": "A description of the recurring payment to display to the user in the payment sheet.", "regularBilling": { "label": "Recurring", "amount": "4.99", "paymentTiming": "recurring", "recurringPaymentStartDate": "2025-06-02T16:00:00.000Z" }, "trialBilling": { "label": "7 Day Trial", "amount": "0.00", "paymentTiming": "recurring", "recurringPaymentEndDate": "2025-06-02T16:00:00.000Z" }, "billingAgreement": "A localized billing agreement displayed to the user in the payment sheet prior to the payment authorization.", "managementURL": "https://applepaydemo.apple.com", "tokenNotificationURL": "https://applepaydemo.apple.com" }, "additionalLineItems": [ { "label": "7 Day Trial", "amount": "0.00", "paymentTiming": "recurring", "recurringPaymentEndDate": "2025-06-02T16:00:00.000Z" }, { "label": "Recurring", "amount": "4.99", "paymentTiming": "recurring", "recurringPaymentStartDate": "2025-06-02T16:00:00.000Z" } ] }

Translation API & Download Language Sheet
Using Apple SwiftUI Translate library: when calling: try await session.prepareTranslation() the first time, the API's Language Download sheet does not show (or shows briefly and dismisses immediately) Even when the sheet doesn't show, the keyboard is lowered, as though the sheet would be appearing, but then the keyboard raises as though the sheet was dismissed. The following Errors are printed in the console dozens of times; but on all subsequent executions, the API Language Download sheet shows as expected. The trigger code is in a function which is executed when a Translate button is tapped. Any ideas would be welcome!

Long running data BLE data syncing in the background
I am working on a Flutter application which is use solely to collect data from a bluetooth low energy (BLE) peripheral and then upload the data to our cloud. The application runs in the background 99% of the time after the initial login and BLE pairing which is causing us some issues. After the Application is backgrounded it would work for a day to 2 days and then stop working. (What I mean with working is to download data from the BLE peripheral and then upload the data to our cloud). Once the data syncing has stopped it would take up to 12 hours until data starts flowing again. I have read in a couple of places that iOS implements some sort of "budget/heuristics" when the application is running in the background to keep track of the application and when this "budget" is used up iOS will stop servicing the application until iOS decides that the application can run in the background again. My question, is it possible via a enablement or some other mechanism to prevent iOS from blocking our application from running in the background to enable 24/7 periodic data uploads every 30 minutes. We have implemented the following so far; The data sync process is triggered from the BLE peripheral using a notification. This notification is sent every 30 minutes. Each sync duration is currently 24 seconds on average, we are working on reducing this to below 10 seconds. We implemented State Restoration to assist iOS in starting the application more efficiently. We are considering using Silent Push Notifications from the Cloud to wake up the application when data hasn't synced in 6 hours. Any assistance would be high appreciated.
