If I run an app with a message filter extension, it's triggered for all the prepaid unknown numbers and its not triggered for all the unknown postpaid numbers. Any idea, how to trigger for postpaid unknown numbers?.
To receive server notifications from the App Store, follow the instructions in Enabling App Store Server Notifications. If your server doesn’t receive any notifications, check your server logs for any incoming web request issues, and
confirm that your server supports the Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.2 protocol or later. If you implement version 2 of App Store Server Notifications, call the Get Notification History endpoint. If there is an issue sending a notification, the endpoint returns the error the App Store received from your server.
If your issue persists, submit a Feedback Assistant report with the following information:
The bundleId or appAppleId of your app
The date and time your issue occurred

Hi
Here is my problem. I have a large number of portrait pictures in my adobe lightroom catalogue which I need to email to the subjects of the portraits.
These peoples names and email addresses are stored in my pictures metadata and I am able to export the pictures with accompanying text or CSV files containing the names & addresses.
What I want to do is export the pictures in bulk and automagically create and send individual emails for each picture, preferably with the persons name in the salutation at the start of the email.
I have done some googling trying to find a solution to this. I think that I need to use automator. (The lightroom option of mailing directly from within the programme isn't going to do the job, each mail would need to be addressed and written by hand each time). I have been playing around with it, but can see no way to populate the email address field or add the attachment.
Can anyone help me out, with even just the basic outline, of how this would be achieved please?
Is there any way I can get updates when I change CarPlay style settings?
I've tried CPSessionConfigurationDelegate.contentStyleChanged and CPTemplateApplicationSceneDelegate.contentStyleDidChange, but they always produce the same result.
When I choose:
Automatic -> I receive light in case of daylight;
Always Dark and Always Show Dark Map toggle on -> dark
Always Dark and Always Show Dark Map toggle off -> light.
But it seems to be wrong, b/c CarPlay's toolbar is still dark, and I receive light.
Is there a way to get a dark style when choosing Always Dark and Always Show Dark Map toggle off? Or at least get updates when the Always Show Dark Map toggle changes?
My question is simple, I do not have much experience in writing swift code, I am only doing it to create a small executable that I can call from my python application which completes Subcription Management.
I was hoping someone with more experience could point out my flaws along with giving me tips on how to verify that the check is working for my applicaiton. Any inight is appreciated, thank you.

We are experiencing an Unknown Error (error code 0) when testing purchases in the Apple Sandbox environment.
The error does not occur every time, but it fails with an Unknown Error in approximately 8 out of 20 attempts.
Due to this issue, our app is failing to pass Apple’s review.
Issue Details
This issue only occurs in the Apple Sandbox environment.
After attempting a purchase, the Apple payment API returns SKPaymentTransaction Unknown Error.
Returned error code: SKErrorUnknown (error.code 0).
This problem is preventing us from conducting proper payment tests and getting approval from Apple.
Would it be possible to receive support or any solutions for this issue?
I am a macOS software developer using Xcode and Objective-C. I have a wallpaper app on the App Store, and recently, a few users have asked if the app can be excluded from the ‘Screen Time’ statistics. Is there a way to allow users to choose whether or not the app should appear in the ‘Screen Time’ tracking? I have already set LSUIElement to YES in the info.plist, but the app is still being tracked in ‘Screen Time.
I'm curious, why DynamicOptionsProvider is available on watchOS? Is there any way to present options to the user? For example in Emoji Rangers project:
struct EmojiRangerSelection: AppIntent, WidgetConfigurationIntent {
static let intentClassName = "EmojiRangerSelectionIntent"
static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Emoji Ranger Selection"
static var description = IntentDescription("Select Hero")
@Parameter(title: "Selected Hero", default: EmojiRanger.cake, optionsProvider: EmojiRangerOptionsProvider())
var hero: EmojiRanger?
struct EmojiRangerOptionsProvider: DynamicOptionsProvider {
func results() async throws -> [EmojiRanger] {
EmojiRanger.allHeros
}
}
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult {
return .result()
}
}
On watchOS we usually use recommendations() to give the user predefined choice of configured widgets. Meanwhile in AppIntentProvider recommendations are empty:
struct AppIntentProvider: AppIntentTimelineProvider {
...
func recommendations() -> [AppIntentRecommendation<EmojiRangerSelection>] {
[]
}
}
Does it imply that there's a way to use DynamicOptionsProvider on watchOS somehow? BTW, WidgetConfiguration.promptsForUserConfiguration() is one of the methods that are not available on watchOS.
And also, the Emoji Ranger project doesn't show widgets (complications) on watchOS out of the box.
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to develop a DriverKit for RAID system, using PCIDriverKit & SCSIControllerDriverKit framework. The driver can detect the Vendor ID and Device ID. But before communicating to the RAID system, I would like to simulate a virtual Volume using a memory block to talk with macOS.
In the UserInitializeController(), I allocated a 512K memory for a IOBufferMemoryDescriptor* volumeBuffer, but fail to use Map() to map memory for volumeBuffer.
result = ivars->volumeBuffer->Map(
0, // Options: Use default
0, // Offset: Start of the buffer
ivars->volumeSize, // Length: Must not exceed buffer size
0, // Flags: Use default
nullptr, // Address space: Default address space
&mappedAddress // Output parameter
);
Log("Memory mapped completed at address: 0x%llx", mappedAddress); // this line never run
The Log for Map completed never run, just restart to run the Start() and makes this Driver re-run again and again, in the end, the driver eat out macOS's memory and system halt.
Are the parameters for Map() error? or I should not put this code in UserInitializeController()?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Hi there, I'm facing an issue when disconnecting CarPlay that the navigation session seems to be in some weird state where it is not properly finished. So when I reconnect CarPlay the "Metadata in instrument cluster or HUD" does not update anymore until I start another navigation session and stop that one.
You can see that the instruction to the left on this screen recording is not updating anymore after a reconnect.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sncxyJULjQk
I have a modified the CostalRoad sample app to add support for the HUD cluster and to auto start a navigation simulation when CarPlay connects.
https://github.com/g4rb4g3/CoastalRoads
Can anyone tell me what I have to do when CarPlay disconnect so I can start a new navigation session on reconnect that has a working HUD cluster?
Fun fact is that Apple Maps handles this quite nice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpJEIyGcwdo), it somehow manages to finish the navigation session and brings up the HUD cluster just fine on reconnect.
I wonder how I can achieve the same, anyone having an idea on that?
Our product is using IOKit framework for monitoring USB device activities. We have used IOKit framework for getting the notification for USB plugin and un-plugins. With the macOS version 15.3 we are started seeing issue with it. When the notification is received during USB plugin/connection, we are unable to get IOUSBDeviceInterface object which will be used for further processing.
Currently we are seeing the below error every time, while trying to create the IO plugin interface using IOCreatePlugInInterfaceForService API:
create plugin Error: (0xe00002be): (iokit/common) resource shortage
Due to this the we are unable to proceed with the flow further and the entire flow is broken.
These logics work fine in macOS version 15.2 and lower versions without any issues.
logic used:
USBDevice::initInterfaceInterfaceByIOService(io_service_t entry)
{
IOCFPlugInInterface** plugInInterface = NULL;
IOUSBInterfaceInterface** interface = NULL;
SInt32 score = 0;
mach_error_code err =
IOCreatePlugInInterfaceForService(entry, kIOUSBInterfaceUserClientTypeID, kIOCFPlugInInterfaceID, &plugInInterface, &score);
if ((err != 0) || (!plugInInterface)) {
os_log_error(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "Unable to create plugin \n");
return nullptr;
}
auto result = (*plugInInterface)->QueryInterface(plugInInterface, CFUUIDGetUUIDBytes(kIOUSBInterfaceInterfaceID), (LPVOID*)&interface);
(*plugInInterface)->Release(plugInInterface);
if (result || !interface) {
os_log_error(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "Unable to create interface \n");
return nullptr;
}
return interface;
}
My server's access to Apple's payment interface (buy. itunes. apple. com/verifiyReceipt) has been unresponsive since the end of March, and I have been searching for a long time without finding any issues. Normally, even if the data is incorrect, there is still a {"status": 21000} response. We are using Alibaba Cloud's virtual servers here. I don't know if Apple has made any adjustments to the interface. If anyone has encountered this problem, please kindly help to answer it. Thank you all.

We use the Transaction Info API for Apple Pay verification, but due to a surge in player payment requests during major game version updates, we've encountered a large backlog of orders and are unable to process all verifications in time. We're wondering if anyone knows the process for requesting an increase in the QPS limit? QAQ

Hi,
We are using Firebase to configure APNs (Apple Push Notification Service) for sending push notifications. During local testing, the push notifications are received properly when the app is in the foreground or background. After TestFlight testing and passing review, we found that when the app is installed using the developer's Apple ID, push notifications are received correctly whether the app is in the foreground or background.
However, when the app is provided to other testers (using non-developer Apple IDs), notifications are only received when the app is in the foreground, and they are not triggered when the app is in the background or inactive state.
Request for Assistance:
Why, after TestFlight testing and passing review, does the app receive push notifications properly in the background when installed using the developer's Apple ID, but on other testers' devices, notifications are not received when the app is in the background?
Are there any differences in Apple ID types or device configurations (developer ID vs. regular tester ID) that could affect the behavior of push notifications in the background mode?
Do we need to apply any additional settings or permissions, particularly for handling background push notifications?
Are there any iOS version or device-specific limitations that could impact the proper delivery of background push notifications?
Additional Information:
The app is properly configured for APNs, and push notifications are being sent via Firebase.
In the developer's Apple ID test environment, the app receives push notifications properly whether it is in the foreground or background.
On other testers' devices, push notifications are only received when the app is in the foreground, and they are not received when the app is in the background.
All test devices have been verified to have notification permissions enabled, and Firebase configuration is correct.
Good day
We developed a simple swift code to make the device ringing when a certain type of notifications arrives from our backend. This is the code:
let phoneNumber = CXHandle(type: .generic, value: (self.userInfoForPluginCall!["data"] as! [String:Any]) ["caller"] as! String)
callUpdate.remoteHandle = phoneNumber
let configuration = CXProviderConfiguration(localizedName: "Trec Conf")
configuration.maximumCallGroups = 1
configuration.maximumCallsPerCallGroup = 1
configuration.supportsVideo = false
configuration.supportedHandleTypes = [.generic]
configuration.iconTemplateImageData = UIImage(named: "callkit-icon")?.pngData()
let callProvider = CXProvider(configuration: configuration)
callProvider.setDelegate(self, queue: nil)
callProvider.reportNewIncomingCall(with: callUUID!, update: callUpdate, completion: {error in})
We are noticing some problems on the call screen: on certain devices (iOS 18.4RC) the normal call screen appears and the user can answer or decline the call, on other devices (iOS 18.3, especially with dynamic island) only a phone icon appears in the upper right corner and no possibility to answer or deny call.
Any idea on why we are encountering that behavior?
Thanks
Please allow me to confirm the Server Notifications V2 specification.
I am aware that if withdrawal an Apple account that has a subscription, the subscription will eventually be cancelled.
Regarding Server Notifications V2 notifications with a notificationType of EXPIRED, am I correct in thinking that they will be sent when the subscription expires even if the Apple account is withdrawal?
Hi Apple Developer,
I’m working on a message-filtering application and reviewing Apple's documentation on message filtering. The documentation clearly states that MMS messages can be filtered. (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/identitylookup/sms-and-mms-message-filtering)
When we refer to MMS, it includes images, short videos, and other supported multimedia formats. However, the ILMessageFilterQueryRequest only provides the message body as a String, meaning we can access text and links but not images or other media files.
Could you please confirm whether Apple allows third-party applications to access multimedia content sent from unknown numbers?
Looking forward to your quick response.
Thanks,
Rijul Singhal
We have a user that has an active subscription according to the appstore in our product but it is registering as expired. Hitting the subscribe button in the SwiftUI SK2 dialog does nothing, meaning, nothing happens.
Any ideas?

Note: I have had issues with CMAltimeter since whats seems to have been a major undocumented modification since iOS 17.4.
So I'm using the CMAltimeter absolute locations delivery.
Sometimes, the altimeter seems to be in an uncalibrated mode and therefore, no altitude delivery happens.
Is there a way to be inform of such state? Currently, it just doesn't work and I can't inform the user about this. They just think the app is broken
What message should I give to the users to accelerate the calibration such that the CMAltimeter will work again?
Also, users have reported that the CMAltimeter can temporarily stop delivering altitude updates, even though it should.
So I guess my question resumes to this:
Whats the best practice to handle an uncalibrated CMAltimeter?
Thanks!
