Since January 28, 2026, we’ve noticed an increase in StoreKit-related errors during purchase flows. Specifically, we’re seeing a spike in errors reported as “Unable to Complete Request”, categorized as unknown StoreKit errors. This correlates with a noticeable drop in the overall purchase success rate. A few observations: The issue is not limited to the latest app version, it also affects older versions. It appears to occur only on iOS 17+. The impact seems country-specific: some regions are affected more heavily, while others show no significant change compared to previous days. At the moment, there are no related incidents reported on Apple’s System Status page. Given these symptoms, this looks like a potential StoreKit / Apple API issue, but we haven’t found any official confirmation yet. Has anyone else observed similar StoreKit behavior recently on iOS 17+? Any insights or known issues would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone, I’m running into an App Store Connect issue that seems to be a misclassification, and I’m hoping someone (or Apple staff) can help clarify or advise. App: Quick Quote Calculator Platform: iOS (built with Expo) App type: Business No navigation, routing, maps, or turn-by-turn directions When submitting a new build, App Store Connect returns: ITMS-90118: Invalid routing app setting To upload a routing app coverage file, you must define the app binary as a routing app. However: There is no “Routing & Navigation” section in App Information There is no “Routing App Coverage File” section under App Store No routing metadata or coverage file has ever been uploaded The app does not provide routing or navigation functionality It appears the binary itself is being classified as a routing app, but there is no UI in App Store Connect to view or remove this classification. What I’ve tried Verified app metadata and screenshots Confirmed no routing/navigation APIs are used Reviewed Info.plist permissions (no routing language) Uploaded a new build with incremented build number Has anyone run into a case where a routing flag is applied at the binary level and the Routing App options are not exposed in App Store Connect? Is the only resolution to have Apple manually remove the routing classification via App Review / Developer Support? Any insight from Apple staff or devs who’ve resolved this would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance! Yes — the app is strictly a business quote calculator for trades. It calculates distance (Miles via addresses) but does not display maps, routes, directions, or navigation of any kind.

I'm developing a DriverKit USB driver for iPadOS that needs to communicate with a vendor-class USB device (bInterfaceClass = 0xFF) as I need to communicate with a USB device using a custom protocol over IOUSBHostPipe for bulk transfers. Current Configuration: Info.plist: IOProviderClass = IOUSBHostDevice Device: bDeviceClass = 0, bInterfaceClass = 0xFF (vendor-specific) What Works: Driver matches and loads successfully Start_Impl() executes device->Open() succeeds device->SetConfiguration() succeeds The Problem: uintptr_t iterRef = 0; kern_return_t ret = device->CreateInterfaceIterator(&iterRef); Result: ret = kIOReturnSuccess (0x0), but iterRef = 0 (empty iterator) What I've Tried: Matching IOUSBHostInterface directly - Driver is loaded, but extension never executed Current approach (IOUSBHostDevice) - Driver extension loads and starts, but CreateInterfaceIterator returns empty Question: Does iPadOS allow third-party DriverKit extensions to access vendor-class (0xFF) USB devices? That is, iPadOS, is there a way for a third-party DriverKit extension to access IOUSBHostInterface objects for vendor-class (0xFF) USB devices?

I just spend the morning debugging LocationButton and the associated CLLocationManagerDelegate only to realise that it works perfectly in iOS 18.5 but no longer works for me in iOS 26.0, 26.2 or 26.2.1 (the latter on-device). It does work when I run my app on macOS 26.2 (Designed for iPad). Is there a change in behaviour or requirements on iOS I am missing? On iOS 18.5 I observe that the authorisation status changes from .notDetermined to .authorizedWhenInUse after the LocationButton has been tapped and my delegate is able to obtain the location through locationManager(_ , didUpdateLocations:). On iOS 26.x the authorisation status remains .notDetermined and my delegate receives locationManager(_:didFailWithError:) with error code .denied. Setting NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription in my Info.plistdid not help. Just in case ;) FB21798098 (SwiftUI LocationButton fails to acquire authorization on iOS 26)

Reference: FB21797091 / Related to thread 807695 Hello, I have already submitted a report regarding this issue via Feedback Assistant (FB21797091), but I would like to share the technical details here to seek further insights or potential workarounds. We are experiencing a technical regression where Universal Links and Shared Web Credentials fail to resolve for Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) specifically on iOS 16 and later. This issue appears to be identical to the one discussed in thread 807695 (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/807695). Technical Contrast: What works vs. What fails On the exact same app build and iOS 16+ devices, we observe a clear distinction: Standard ASCII Domain (onelink.me): Works perfectly. (Proves App ID and Entitlements are correct) Internal Development Domain (Standard ASCII): Works perfectly. (Proves our server-side AASA hosting and HTTPS configuration are correct) Japanese IDN Domain (xn--[punycode].com): Fails completely. (Status: "unspecified") Note: This IDN setup was last confirmed to work correctly on iOS 15 in April 2025. Currently, we are unable to install the app on iOS 15 devices for live comparison, but the regression starting from iOS 16 is consistent. This "Triple Proof" clearly isolates the issue: the failure is strictly tied to the swcd daemon's handling of IDN/Punycode domains. Validation & Diagnostics: Validation: Our Punycode domain passes all technical checks on the http://Branch.io AASA Validator (Valid HTTPS, valid JSON structure, and Content-Type: application/json). sysdiagnose: Running swcutil on affected iOS 16+ devices shows the status as "unspecified" for the IDN domain. Symptoms: Universal Links consistently open in Safari instead of the app, the Smart App Banner is not displayed, and Shared Web Credentials for AutoFill do not function. Request for Resolution: We request a fix for this regression in the swcd daemon. If this behavior is a specification for security reasons, please provide developers with a supported method or workaround to ensure IDN domains function correctly. We have sysdiagnose logs available for further investigation. Thank you.

I am developing a remote support tool for macOS. While we have successfully implemented a Privileged Helper Tool and LaunchDaemon architecture that works within an active Aqua session, we have observed a total failure to capture the screen buffer or receive input at the macOS Login Window. Our observation of competitor software (AnyDesk, TeamViewer) shows they maintain graphical continuity through logout/restart. We are seeking the official architectural path to replicate this system-level access. Current Technical Implementation Architecture: A root-level LaunchDaemon manages the persistent network connection. A PrivilegedHelperTool (installed in /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/) is used for elevated tasks. Environment: Tested on macOS 14.x (Sonoma) and macOS 15.x (Sequoia) on Apple Silicon. Capture Methods: We have implemented ScreenCaptureKit (SCK) as the primary engine and CGDisplayCreateImage as a fallback. Binary Status: All components are signed with a Developer ID and have been successfully Notarized. Observed Behavior & Blockers The "Aqua" Success: Within a logged-in user session, our CGI correctly identifies Display IDs and initializes the capture stream. Remote control is fully functional. The "Pre-Login" Failure: When the Mac is at the Login Window (no user logged in), the following occurs: The Daemon remains active, but the screen capture buffer returns NULL or an empty frame. ScreenCaptureKit fails to initialize, citing a lack of graphical context. No TCC (Transparency, Consent, and Control) prompt can appear because no user session exists. The "Bootstrap" Observation: We have identified that the loginwindow process exists in a restricted Mach bootstrap namespace that our Daemon (running in the System domain) cannot natively bridge. Comparative Analysis (Competitor Benchmarking) We have analyzed established remote desktop solutions like AnyDesk and Jump Desktop to understand their success at the login screen. Our findings suggest: Dual-Context Execution: They appear to use a Global LaunchAgent with LimitLoadToSessionType = ["LoginWindow"]. This allows a child process to run as root inside the login window’s graphical domain. Specialized Entitlements: These apps have migrated to the com.apple.developer.persistent-content-capture entitlement. This restricted capability allows them to bypass the weekly/monthly TCC re-authorization prompts and function in unattended scenarios where a user cannot click "Allow." Questions Entitlement Requirement: Is the persistent-content-capture entitlement the only supported way for a third-party app to capture the LoginWindow buffer without manual user intervention? LaunchAgent Strategy: To gain a graphical context at the login screen, is it recommended to load a specialized agent into the loginwindow domain via launchctl bootstrap loginwindow ...? ScreenCaptureKit vs. Legacy: Does ScreenCaptureKit officially support the LoginWindow session, or does it require an active Aqua session to initialize? MDM Bypass: For Enterprise environments, can a Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC) payload grant "Screen Recording" to a non-entitled Daemon specifically for the login window context?

As part of iOS 26, we get X25519MLKEM768 key exchange group support, but SecP256r1MLKEM768 and SecP384r1MLKEM1024 are not supported. Is there any way to enable these key exchange groups on iOS 26? We need them for WKWebView and NSURLSession. STEPS TO REPRODUCE On iOS 26, connect to the PQC server using Safari. The key exchange group is limited to X25519MLKEM768.

I've implemented func urlSession(_ session: URLSession, task: URLSessionTask, willPerformHTTPRedirection response: HTTPURLResponse, newRequest request: URLRequest, completionHandler: @escaping (URLRequest?) -> Void) and func urlSession(_ session: URLSession, downloadTask: URLSessionDownloadTask, didWriteData bytesWritten: Int64, totalBytesWritten: Int64, totalBytesExpectedToWrite: Int64) I've put a breakpoint in each but the BP in willPerformHTTPRedirection never fires. When the didWriteData fires and I inspect downloadTask.originalRequest I see my original request URL When I inspect downloadTask.currentRequest the returned request contains a different URL. I'm the farthest thing from an HTTP wizard, but I had thought when originalRequest differs from currentRequest there had been some sort of server-side 'redirection'. Is there a way for my code to receive a callback when something like this happens? NOTE: my download code works fine, I'm just hoping to detect the case when currentRequest changes. any/all guidance greatly appreciated on the off chance it helps, are are my original and current request values: (lldb) po downloadTask.originalRequest ▿ Optional<URLRequest> ▿ some : https://audio.listennotes.com/e/p/c524803c1a90412f922948274ecc3625/ (lldb) po downloadTask.currentRequest ▿ Optional<URLRequest> ▿ some : https://26973.mc.tritondigital.com:443/OMNY_HAPPIERWITHGRETCHENRUBIN_PODCAST_P/media-session/76cfceb2-1801-4570-b830-ded57611a9cf/d/clips/796469f9-ea34-46a2-8776-ad0f015d6beb/e1b22d0b-6974-4bb8-81ba-b2480119983c/2f35a8ca-b982-44e9-8122-b3dc000ae0e1/audio/direct/t1769587393/Ep_571_Want_to_Join_Us_for_a_No-Spend_February_Plus_a_Better_Word_for_Squats.mp3?t=1769587393&in_playlist=751ada7f-ded3-44b9-bfb8-b2480119985b&utm_source=Podcast

We are facing an issue with Apple Pay address details while customers are placing orders on our production site. By default, the following values are being passed during checkout: First Name: ApplePay Last Name: Express Address: ApplePay Street When we manually enter these same details, our validation correctly prevents the order from being placed and displays an appropriate error message. However, on our production site, real customers are still able to successfully place orders with these exact details. Could you please help us understand: How these orders are being allowed to proceed despite the validation? Is this behaviour expected from Apple Pay ? How can we prevent orders from being placed with such placeholder address details? Please let us know if you need any additional information from our side. We have also attached an image showing the address details and the corresponding order number for reference. Thanks in advance for your support.

I want to update coordinate of the lookaround instance object. But mapkit.js does not have LookAroundSceneRequest class, how am I going to do. In swift, there is MKLookAroundSceneRequest class, you can specify a new coordinate with this class, to get a new LookAroundScene object, then attach new LookAroundScene to the existing lookAround object, But how am I going to do the same with mapkit.js ?? it missing LookAroundSceneRequest class in js

Note: This document is specifically focused on what happens after a DEXT has passed its initial code-signing checks. Code-signing issues are dealt with in other posts. Preliminary Guidance: Using and understanding DriverKit basically requires understanding IOKit, something which isn't entirely clear in our documentation. The good news here is that IOKit actually does have fairly good "foundational" documentation in the documentation archive. Here are a few of the documents I'd take a look at: IOKit Fundamentals IOKit Device Driver Design Guidelines Accessing Hardware From Applications Special mention to QA1075: "Making sense of IOKit error codes",, which I happened to notice today and which documents the IOReturn error format (which is a bit weird on first review). Those documents do not cover the full DEXT loading process, but they are the foundation of how all of this actually works. Understanding the IOKitPersonalities Dictionary The first thing to understand here is that the "IOKitPersonalities" is called that because it is in fact a fully valid "IOKitPersonalities" dictionary. That is, what the system actually uses that dictionary "for" is: Perform a standard IOKit match and load cycle in the kernel. The final driver in the kernel then uses the DEXT-specific data to launch and run your DEXT process outside the kernel. So, working through the critical keys in that dictionary: "IOProviderClass"-> This is the in-kernel class that your in-kernel driver loads "on top" of. The IOKit documentation and naming convention uses the term "Nub", but the naming convention is not consistent enough that it applies to all cases. "IOClass"-> This is the in-kernel class that your driver loads on top of. This is where things can become a bit confused, as some families work by: Routing all activity through the provider reference so that the DEXT-specific class does not matter (PCIDriverKit). Having the DEXT subclass a specific subclass which corresponds to a specific kernel driver (SCSIPeripheralsDriverKit). This distinction is described in the documentation, but it's easy to overlook if you don't understand what's going on. However, compare PCIDriverKit: "When the system loads your custom PCI driver, it passes an IOPCIDevice object as the provider to your driver. Use that object to read and write the configuration and memory of your PCI hardware." Versus SCSIPeripheralsDriverKit: Develop your driver by subclassing IOUserSCSIPeripheralDeviceType00 or IOUserSCSIPeripheralDeviceType05, depending on whether your device works with SCSI Block Commands (SBC) or SCSI Multimedia Commands (SMC), respectively. In your subclass, override all methods the framework declares as pure virtual. The reason these differences exist actually comes from the relationship and interactions between the DEXT families. Case in point, PCIDriverKit doesn't require a specific subclass because it wants SCSIControllerDriverKit DEXTs to be able to directly load "above" it. Note that the common mistake many developers make is leaving "IOUserService" in place when they should have specified a family-specific subclass (case 2 above). This is an undocumented implementation detail, but if there is a mismatch between your DEXT driver ("IOUserSCSIPeripheralDeviceType00") and your kernel driver ("IOUserService"), you end up trying to call unimplemented kernel methods. When a method is "missing" like that, the codegen system ends up handling that by returning kIOReturnUnsupported. One special case here is the "IOUserResources" provider. This class is the DEXT equivalent of "IOResources" in the kernel. In both cases, these classes exist as an attachment point for objects which don't otherwise have a provider. It's specifically used by the sample "Communicating between a DriverKit extension and a client app" to allow that sample to load on all hardware but is not something the vast majority of DEXT will use. Following on from that point, most DEXT should NOT include "IOMatchCategory". Quoting IOKit fundamentals: "Important: Any driver that declares IOResources as the value of its IOProviderClass key must also include in its personality the IOMatchCategory key and a private match category value. This prevents the driver from matching exclusively on the IOResources nub and thereby preventing other drivers from matching on it. It also prevents the driver from having to compete with all other drivers that need to match on IOResources. The value of the IOMatchCategory property should be identical to the value of the driver's IOClass property, which is the driver’s class name in reverse-DNS notation with underbars instead of dots, such as com_MyCompany_driver_MyDriver." The critical point here is that including IOMatchCategory does this: "This prevents the driver from matching exclusively on the IOResources nub and thereby preventing other drivers from matching on it." The problem here is that this is actually the exceptional case. For a typical DEXT, including IOMatchCategory means that a system driver will load "beside" their DEXT, then open the provider blocking DEXT access and breaking the DEXT. DEXT Launching The key point here is that the entire process above is the standard IOKit loading process used by all KEXT. Once that process finishes, what actually happens next is the DEXT-specific part of this process: IOUserServerName-> This key is the bundle ID of your DEXT, which the system uses to find your DEXT target. IOUserClass-> This is the name of the class the system instantiates after launching your DEXT. Note that this directly mimics how IOKit loading works. Keep in mind that the second, DEXT-specific, half of this process is the first point your actual code becomes relevant. Any issue before that point will ONLY be visible through kernel logging or possibly the IORegistry. __ Kevin Elliott DTS Engineer, CoreOS/Hardware

I found currently there is no way to revoke sharing age to an app after I shared to it, no matter in testing or in app settings

I've tried pass different value like 13,16,18, but I don't see any difference..? could anyone tell what could happen differently if I pass a different value here?

Description Our NETransparentProxyProvider system extension maintains a persistent TLS/DTLS control channel to a security gateway. To maintain this stateful connection the extension sends application-level "Keep Alive" packets every few seconds (example : 20 seconds). The Issue: When the macOS device enters a sleep state, the Network Extension process is suspended, causing our application-level heartbeat to cease. Consequently, our backend gateway—detecting no activity—terminates the session via Dead Peer Detection (DPD). The problem is exacerbated by macOS Dark Wake cycles. We observe the extension's wake() callback being triggered periodically (approx. every 15 minutes) while the device remains in a sleep state (lid closed). During these brief windows: The extension attempts to use the existing socket, finds it terminated by the backend, and initiates a full re-handshake. Shortly after the connection is re-established, the OS triggers the sleep() callback and suspends the process again. This creates a "connection churn" cycle that generates excessive telemetry noise and misleading "Session Disconnected" alerts for our enterprise customers. Steps to Reproduce Activate Proxy: Start the NETransparentProxyProvider and establish a TLS session to a gateway. Apply Settings: Configure NETransparentProxyNetworkSettings to intercept outbound TCP/UDP traffic. Initialize Heartbeat: Start a 20-second timer (DispatchSourceTimer) to log and send keep-alive packets. Induce Sleep: Put the Mac to sleep (Apple Menu > Sleep). Observe Logs: Monitor the system via sysdiagnose or the macOS Console. Observation: Logs stop entirely during sleep, indicating process suspension. Observation: wake() and sleep() callbacks are triggered repeatedly during Dark Wake intervals, causing a cycle of re-connections. Expected Behavior We seek to minimize connection turnover during maintenance wakes and maintain session stability while the device is technically in a sleep state. Questions for Apple Is it possible to suppress the sleep and wake callback methods of NETransparentProxyProvider when the device is performing a maintenance/Dark Wake, only triggering them for a full user-initiated wake? Is it possible to prevent the NETransparentProxyProvider process from being suspended during sleep, or at least grant it a high-priority background execution slot to maintain the heartbeat? If suspension is mandatory, is there a recommended way to utilize TCP_KEEPALIVE socket options that the kernel can handle on behalf of the suspended extension? How can the extension programmatically identify if a wake() call is a "Dark Wake" versus a "Full User Wake" to avoid unnecessary re-connection logic?

A user of my app reported that when my app copies files from a QNAP NAS to a folder on their Mac, they get the error "Result too large". When copying the same files from the Desktop, it works. I asked them to reproduce the issue with the sample code below and they confirmed that it reproduces. They contacted QNAP for support who in turn contacted me saying that they are not sure they can do anything about it, and asking if Apple can help. Both the app user and QNAP are willing to help, but at this point I'm also unsure how to proceed. Can someone at Apple say anything about this? Is this something QNAP should solve, or is this a bug in macOS? P.S.: I've had users in the past who reported the same issue with other brands, mostly Synology. import Cocoa @main class AppDelegate: NSObject, NSApplicationDelegate { func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) { let openPanel = NSOpenPanel() openPanel.canChooseDirectories = true openPanel.runModal() let source = openPanel.urls[0] openPanel.canChooseFiles = false openPanel.runModal() let destination = openPanel.urls[0] do { try copyFile(from: source, to: destination.appendingPathComponent(source.lastPathComponent, isDirectory: false)) } catch { NSAlert(error: error).runModal() } NSApp.terminate(nil) } private func copyFile(from source: URL, to destination: URL) throws { if try source.resourceValues(forKeys: [.isDirectoryKey]).isDirectory == true { try FileManager.default.createDirectory(at: destination, withIntermediateDirectories: false) for source in try FileManager.default.contentsOfDirectory(at: source, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil) { try copyFile(from: source, to: destination.appendingPathComponent(source.lastPathComponent, isDirectory: false)) } } else { try copyRegularFile(from: source, to: destination) } } private func copyRegularFile(from source: URL, to destination: URL) throws { let state = copyfile_state_alloc() defer { copyfile_state_free(state) } var bsize = UInt32(16_777_216) if copyfile_state_set(state, UInt32(COPYFILE_STATE_BSIZE), &bsize) != 0 { throw NSError(domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code: Int(errno)) } else if copyfile_state_set(state, UInt32(COPYFILE_STATE_STATUS_CB), unsafeBitCast(copyfileCallback, to: UnsafeRawPointer.self)) != 0 { throw NSError(domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code: Int(errno)) } else if copyfile(source.path, destination.path, state, copyfile_flags_t(COPYFILE_DATA | COPYFILE_SECURITY | COPYFILE_NOFOLLOW | COPYFILE_EXCL | COPYFILE_XATTR)) != 0 { throw NSError(domain: NSPOSIXErrorDomain, code: Int(errno)) } } private let copyfileCallback: copyfile_callback_t = { what, stage, state, src, dst, ctx in if what == COPYFILE_COPY_DATA { if stage == COPYFILE_ERR { return COPYFILE_QUIT } } return COPYFILE_CONTINUE } }

This is my first driver and I have had the devil of a time trying to find any information to help me with this. I beg help with this, since I cannot find any tutorials that will get me over this problem. I am attempting to write a bridging driver for an older UPS that only communicates via RPC-over-USB rather than the HID Power Device class the OS requires. I have written the basic framework for the driver (details below) and am calling OSSystemExtensionRequest.submitRequest with a request object created by OSSystemExtensionRequest.activationRequest, but the didFailWithError callback is called with OSSystemExtensionErrorDomain of a value of 9, which appears to be a general failure to activate the driver. I can find no other information on how to address this issue, but I presume the issue is one of entitlements in either the entitlements file or Info.plist. I will have more code-based details below. For testing context, I am testing this on a 2021 iMac (M1) running Sequoia 15.7, and this iMac is on MDM, specifically Jamf. I have disabled SIP and set systemextensionsctl developer on, per the instructions here, and I have compiled and am attempting to debug the app using xcode 26.2. The driver itself targets DriverKit 25, as 26 does not appear to be available in xcode despite hints on google that it's out. For the software, I have a two-target structure in my xcode project, the main Manager app, which is a swift-ui app that both handles installation/activation of the driver and (if that finally manages to work) handles communication from the driver via its UserClient, and the driver which compiles as a dext. Both apps compile and use automated signing attached to our Apple Development team. I won't delve into the Manager app much, as it runs even though activation fails, except to include its entitlements file in case it proves relevant <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.driverkit.communicates-with-drivers</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.developer.system-extension.install</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key> <true/> </dict> and the relevant activation code: func request(_ request: OSSystemExtensionRequest, didFailWithError error: any Error) { // handling the error, which is always code value 9 } func activateDriver() { let request = OSSystemExtensionRequest.activationRequest(forExtensionWithIdentifier: "com.mycompany.driver.bundle.identifier", queue: .main) request.delegate = self OSSystemExtensionManager.shared.submitRequest(request) //... } And finally the Manager app has the following capabilities requested for its matching identifier in our Apple Developer Account: DriverKit Communicates with Drivers System Extension On the Driver side, I have two major pieces, the main driver class MyDriver, and UserClient class, StatusUserClient. MyDriver derives from IDriverKit/IOService.iig but (in case this is somehow important) does not have the same name as the project/target name MyBatteryDriver. StatusUserClient derives from DriverKit/IOUserClient.iig. I have os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "trace messages") code in every method of both classes, including the initializers and Start implementations, and the log entries never seem to show up in Console, so I presume that means the OS never tried to load the driver. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place? Because I don't think the driver code is the current issue, I won't go into it unless it becomes necessary. As I mentioned above, I think this is a code signing / entitlements issue, but I don't know how to resolve it. In our Apple Developer account, the Driver's matching identifier has the following capabilities requested: DriverKit (development) DriverKit Allow Any UserClient (development) DriverKit Family HID Device (development) -- NOTE: this is planned for future use, but not yet implemented by my driver code. Could that be part of the problem? DriverKit Transport HID (development) DriverKit USB Transport (development) DriverKit USB Transport - VendorID -- submitted, no response from Apple yet HID Virtual Device -- submitted, no response from Apple. yet. This is vestigial from an early plan to build the bridge via shared memory funneling to a virtual HID device. I think I've found a way to do it with one Service, but... not sure yet. Still, that's a problem for tomorrow. Apparently I've gone over the 7000 character maximum so I will add my entitlements and info.plist contents in a reply.

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm working on implementing App Clips for a restaurant platform and need guidance on configuring custom App Clip experiences using URL redirects. Context: We have multiple restaurant locations, each needing branded App Clip cards (custom image, title, subtitle). With hundreds of tables across many venues, creating individual App Clip experiences for each table in App Store Connect isn't scalable. Currently: Using a single, generic App Clip experience for all locations => https://example.com Desired Flow: Customer scans QR code at restaurant table ↓ https://example.com/123 ↓ iOS fetches URL ↓ Server responds with 302 redirect ↓ https://example.com/brands/le-pain-quotidien?venue=abc123 ↓ iOS displays App Clip card with "Le Pain Quotidien" branding ↓ User taps "Open" → App Clip launches with correct context What I've Tried: Configured multiple App Clip experiences in App Store Connect Implemented 302 redirects from short URLs to branded URLs Tested various redirect configurations without success Questions: Does iOS fetch and follow redirects before displaying the App Clip card, or does it only use the originally scanned URL? What App Clip experience URLs should be configured in App Store Connect for this redirect scenario? Are there specific HTTP headers or redirect requirements for iOS to properly recognize the final destination? Should the App Clip experience be registered for example.com/123 or example.com/brands/le-pain-quotidien? Reference: Apple's documentation suggests this is possible: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppClip/configuring-the-launch-experience-of-your-app-clip#Use-short-URLs-or-redirects Has anyone successfully implemented custom App Clip cards using URL redirects? Any guidance on the correct configuration approach would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

**Environment Platform:** iOS Distribution: TestFlight Product type: Consumable In-App Purchase Account used for testing: Real Apple ID (not Sandbox) StoreKit: StoreKit 1 iOS version: iOS 17+ (also reproduced on earlier versions) Issue Description We are encountering an issue when testing consumable in-app purchases in a TestFlight build using a real Apple ID. Under normal circumstances, consumable products should be purchasable repeatedly. However, in TestFlight, after a successful purchase flow, the same product may become unavailable for repurchase, and the transaction appears to be stuck, even though: • finishTransaction: is correctly called • The transaction state is .purchased • No pending transactions are left in the payment queue Once this happens, subsequent purchase attempts result in behavior similar to a non-consumable product (e.g. “already purchased” or no purchase UI shown).

When I have to pull in hundreds of commits from upstream, I like to try to make sure things still compile - frequently, to try to limit how far I need to go to back fix things. One issue is missing symbols in the kext, since you won't know until you try to load the kext. And loading the kext each commit is not realistic. So I went and made up a call to something that does not exist, in my case, strqcmp(). I could not get the various tools like kmutil libraries --all-symbols to print out that this function was going to fail, so I wrote a little script (thanks ChatGPT); ./scripts/kpi_check.py --arch arm64e -k module/os/macos/zfs.kext/ First missing symbols: _crfree _crhold _strqcmp Hurrah. But sadly, my brain was then curious as to why crhold() and crfree() work. Worked for years. Only dtrace calls them in XNU sources but otherwise not mentioned there, not listed in my frameworks, nm is not seeing it. Somewhat of a rabbit hole. I don't even need to know, it does work after all. I should just let it go right? and yet... how does it work? My best guess is a symbols.alias pointing it to kauth_cred_ref() somewhere? Maybe? Anyway, pretty low priority but it's an itch...

My app is configured with the App Clip experiences, and a Clip App card pops up when an NFC tag is scanned—whether the host app is not launched, running in the background, or active in the foreground. I want to prevent the App Clip card from popping up when the host app is in the foreground; how can this be achieved?
