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

**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).

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.

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.

I am trying to add a few properties to an IOUSBHostDevice but the SetProperties is returning kIOReturnUnsupported. The reason I am trying to modify the IOUSBHostDevice's properties is so we can support a MacBook Air SuperDrive when it is attached to our docking station devices. The MacBook Air SuperDrive needs a high powered port to run and this driver will help the OS realize that our dock can support it. I see that the documentation for SetProperties says: The default implementation of this method returns kIOReturnUnsupported. You can override this method and use it to modify the set of properties and values as needed. The changes you make apply only to the current service. Do I need to override IOUSBHostDevice? This is my current Start implementation (you can also see if in the Xcode project): kern_return_t IMPL(MyUserUSBHostDriver, Start) { kern_return_t ret = kIOReturnSuccess; OSDictionary * prop = NULL; OSDictionary * mergeProperties = NULL; bool success = true; os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "&gt; %s", __FUNCTION__); os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "%s:%d", __FUNCTION__, __LINE__); ret = Start(provider, SUPERDISPATCH); __Require(kIOReturnSuccess == ret, Exit); os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "%s:%d", __FUNCTION__, __LINE__); ivars-&gt;host = OSDynamicCast(IOUSBHostDevice, provider); __Require_Action(NULL != ivars-&gt;host, Exit, ret = kIOReturnNoDevice); os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "%s:%d", __FUNCTION__, __LINE__); ret = ivars-&gt;host-&gt;Open(this, 0, 0); __Require(kIOReturnSuccess == ret, Exit); os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "%s:%d", __FUNCTION__, __LINE__); ret = CopyProperties(&amp;prop); __Require(kIOReturnSuccess == ret, Exit); __Require_Action(NULL != prop, Exit, ret = kIOReturnError); os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "%s:%d", __FUNCTION__, __LINE__); mergeProperties = OSDynamicCast(OSDictionary, prop-&gt;getObject("IOProviderMergeProperties")); mergeProperties-&gt;retain(); __Require_Action(NULL != mergeProperties, Exit, ret = kIOReturnError); os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "%s:%d", __FUNCTION__, __LINE__); OSSafeReleaseNULL(prop); ret = ivars-&gt;host-&gt;CopyProperties(&amp;prop); __Require(kIOReturnSuccess == ret, Exit); __Require_Action(NULL != prop, Exit, ret = kIOReturnError); os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "%s:%d", __FUNCTION__, __LINE__); os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "%s : %s", "USB Product Name", ((OSString *) prop-&gt;getObject("USB Product Name"))-&gt;getCStringNoCopy()); os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "%s : %s", "USB Vendor Name", ((OSString *) prop-&gt;getObject("USB Vendor Name"))-&gt;getCStringNoCopy()); os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "%s:%d", __FUNCTION__, __LINE__); success = prop-&gt;merge(mergeProperties); __Require_Action(success, Exit, ret = kIOReturnError); os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "%s:%d", __FUNCTION__, __LINE__); ret = ivars-&gt;host-&gt;SetProperties(prop); // this is no working __Require(kIOReturnSuccess == ret, Exit); Exit: OSSafeReleaseNULL(mergeProperties); OSSafeReleaseNULL(prop); os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "err ref %d", kIOReturnUnsupported); os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "&lt; %s %d", __FUNCTION__, ret); return ret; }

Hi there, Starting with iOS 26.2 RC, all my DeviceActivityMonitor.eventDidReachThreshold get activated immediately as I pick up my iPhone for the first time, two nights in a row. Feedback: FB21267341 There's always a chance something odd is happening to my device in particular (although I can't recall making any changes here and the debug logs point to the issue), but just getting this out there ASAP in case others are seeing this (or haven't tried!), and it's critical as this is the RC. DeviceActivityMonitor.eventDidReachThreshold issues also mentioned here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/793747; but I believe they are different and were potentially fixed in iOS 26.1, but it points to this part of the technology having issues and maybe someone from Apple has been tweaking it.

Problem description Since macOS Sequoia, our users have experienced issues with multicast traffic in our macOS app. Regularly, the app starts but cannot receive multicast, or multicast eventually stops mid-execution. The app sometimes asks again for Local Network permission, while it was already allowed so. Several versions of our app on a single machine are sometimes (but not always) shown as different instances in the System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network list. And when several instances are shown in that list, disabling one disables all of them, but it does not actually forbids the app from receiving multicast traffic. All of those issues are experienced by an increasing number of users after they update their system from macOS 14 to macOS 15 or 26, and many of them have reported networking issues during production-critical moments. We haven't been able to find the root cause of those issues, so we built a simple test app, called "FM Mac App Test", that can reproduce multicast issues. This app creates a GCDAsyncUdpSocket socket to receive multicast packets from a piece of hardware we also develop, and displays a simple UI showing if such packets are received. The app is entitled with "Custom Network Protocol", is built against x86_64 and arm64, and is archived (signed and notarized). We can share the source code if requested. Out of the many issues our main app exhibits, the test app showcases some: The app asks several times for Local Network permission, even after being allowed so previously. After allowing the app's Local Network and rebooting the machine, the System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network does not show the app, and the app asks again for Local Network access. The app shows a different Local Network Usage Description than in the project's plist. Several versions of the app appear as different instances in the Privacy list, and behave strangely. Toggling on or off one instance toggles the others. Only one version of the app seems affected by the setting, the other versions always seem to have access to Local Network even when the toggle is set to off. We even did see messages from different app versions in different user accounts. This seems to contradicts Apple's documentation that states user accounts have independent Privacy settings. Can you help us understand what we are missing (in terms of build settings, entitlements, proper archiving...) so our app conforms to what macOS expects for proper Local Network behavior? Related material Local Network Privacy breaks Application: this issue seemed related to ours, but the fix was to ensure different versions of the app have different UUIDs. We ensured that ourselves, to no improvement. Local Network FAQ Technote TN3179 Steps to Reproduce Test App is developed on Xcode 15.4 (15F31d) on macOS 14.5 (23F79), and runs on macOS 26.0.1 (25A362). We can share the source code if requested. On a clean install of macOS Tahoe (our test setup used macOS 26.0.1 on a Mac mini M2 8GB), we upload the app (version 5.1). We run the app, make sure the selected NIC is the proper one, and open the multicast socket. The app asks us to allow Local Network, we allow it. The alert shows a different Local Network Usage Description than the one we set in our project's plist. The app properly shows packets are received from the console on our LAN. We check the list in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network, it includes our app properly allowed. We then reboot the machine. After reboot, the same list does not show the app anymore. We run the app, it asks again about Local Network access (still with incorrect Usage Description). We allow it again, but no console packet is received yet. Only after closing and reopening the socket are the console packets received. After a 2nd reboot, the System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network list shows correctly the app. The app seems to now run fine. We then upload an updated version of the same app (5.2), also built and notarized. The 2nd version is simulating when we send different versions of our main app to our users. The updated version has a different UUID than the 1st version. The updated version also asks for Local Network access, this time with proper Usage Description. A 3rd updated version of the app (5.3, also with unique UUID) behaves the same. The System Settings > Privacy & Security > Local Network list shows three instances of the app. We toggle off one of the app, all of them toggle off. The 1st version of the app (5.1) does not have local network access anymore, but both 2nd and 3rd versions do, while their toggle button seems off. We toggle on one of the app, all of them toggle on. All 3 versions have local network access.

Case-ID: 17935956 In the NetworkExtension framework, for the NETransparentProxyProvider and NEDNSProxyProvider classes: when calling the open func writeDatagrams(_ datagrams: [Data], sentBy remoteEndpoints: [NWEndpoint]) async throwsin the NEDNSProxyProvider class, and the open func write(_ data: Data, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping @Sendable ((any Error)?) -> Void)in the NETransparentProxyProvider class, errors such as "The operation could not be completed because the flow is not connected" and "Error Domain=NEAppProxyFlowErrorDomain Code=1 "The operation could not be completed because the flow is not connected"" occur. Once this issue arises, if it occurs in the NEDNSProxyProvider, the entire system's DNS will fail to function properly; if it occurs in the NETransparentProxyProvider, the entire network will become unavailable.

I’m trying to determine the actual Wi-Fi band (e.g. 2.4GHz, 5GHz, or 6GHz) of the network that is currently connected on macOS. I’m not looking for a heuristic based on the Wi-Fi name (SSID), such as checking whether it contains “5G” or “6G”. Instead, I want a reliable and accurate method that reflects the real connection parameters reported by the system. Specifically, I’m interested in: Whether macOS exposes the current Wi-Fi band or channel information through public APIs (e.g. CoreWLAN) Or if there is any supported system-level way to retrieve this information programmatically If this information is not directly accessible, I’d also like to understand: Why macOS does not expose it And whether there is a recommended alternative approach Any insights or examples would be greatly appreciated.

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?

We are using a java program as an installer for a software suite. This program is bundled inside a signed and notarized Mac app, but it uses the system installed Java (from env). For installing software, it requires the App Management permission (currently under System Settings › Privacy & Security › App Management). Since the program runs via the system provided Java executable, that one is the executable, that needs said permission. In the past, it was possible to add java to said permissions list. With macOS 26.2 it is no longer possible. I think, this change happened with 26.2. It was definitely still working with macOS 15 (I can reproduce it there), and I am confident, that it also still worked under 26.1. In Console.app I can see errors like this one /AppleInternal/Library/BuildRoots/4~CCKzugBjdyGA3WHu9ip90KmiFMk4I5oJfOTbSBk/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/SecurityPref/Extension/Privacy/TCC+PrivacyServicesProvider.swift:227 add(record:to:) No bundle or no bundle ID found for record TCCRecord(identifier: "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/sdkman-cli/5.19.0/libexec/candidates/java/11.0.29-tem/bin/rmic", identifierType: SecurityPrivacyExtension.TCCIdentifierType.path, access: SecurityPrivacyExtension.TCCAccess.full, managed: false, allowStandardUserToSetSystemService: false, subjectIdentityBundleIdentifier: nil, indirectObjectIdentityBundleIdentifier: nil, indirectObjectIdentityFileProviderIdentifier: nil, tccAuthorization: <OS_tcc_authorization_record: 0xa97d0ba80>) This is reproducible for various different Java installations. I can also not add Java to the other permissions that I tried. Since Java is not installed in a bundled app but instead as a UNIX executable in a bin-folder, the error No bundle or no bundle ID found for record makes sense. I expect this to also affect other use cases where programs are provided as UNIX executables such as Python or C-Compilers like g++. While it is possible to bundle an entire JRE inside each app, we intentionally chose not to as this massively increases app size. If this issue is not resolved or a workaround can be found, this is the only option that remains for us. I am however worried that there are other use cases where this is not an option.

Hi, i programmed an app the uses MultipeerConnectivity to connect iOS-Devices to exchange Video-Files from the camera (https://pellepepper.my.canva.site/jumpcontrol). In general the solution works fine but I have some challenges: The connection is pretty stable when there are only few other devices around. It seems to become more fragile when there are more other iOS-Devices in the area Testing of the App worked with several meters of distance (up to 10). In real environments of athletics venues the solution is only stable in a region of about 2 meters It seems that newer iOS-Releases make the connection more unstable. Last weekend we used it with iOS 18-Devices on older hardware, what worked fine. Integrating an iOS 26 device made trouble. Working on iPhone 13 with iOS 26 is hardly not usable. What can I do to improve stability of the connection and therefore the App. What are the metrics to look for? Is there something I can do on the code base to make to connection more stable? Many thx Rainer

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...

Approx Dec 13th 2025 til now (Dec 29th) I noticed my APNS dropped off to nothing daily. When I try to send APNS alerts on the developer site tool it always returns "discarded as device was offline" for multiple devices which I know are online. When I try pushing through my VPS (as I always have without any code changes for months) I get status codes of 400 and 403 mostly and a few 200's without it delivering also. I created a new sandbox certificate just in case it was that but still no luck, I get the same results. Ive checked for any firewall issues and I see the following on my VPS: nslookup gateway.push.apple.com Server: 1.1.1.1 Address: 1.1.1.1#53 ** server can't find gateway.push.apple.com: NXDOMAIN This seems like a second issue but not the primary issue that the portal is reporting. Any ideas what to check? Im at a loss as to why its not working at all through apples test notification portal on my developer account. It seems thats the initial issue I need to solve. Thank you for any ideas/help

I'm implementing PurchaseIntent.intents for App Store in-app purchase promotions, following Apple's WWDC guidance. The API only works on cold launch (killed→launch), but fails on background→foreground transitions, making App Store promotions unusable. Sample code as followed from WWDC23 video "What's new in StoreKit 2 and StoreKit Testing in Xcode". In the StoreKitManager observable class, I have this function which is initialized in a listening task: func listenForPurchaseIntent() -> Task<Void, Error> { return Task { [weak self] in for await purchase in PurchaseIntent.intents { guard let self else { continue } let product = purchase.product await self.purchaseProduct(product) } } } where purchaseProduct() will perform the call to: try await product.purchase() ISSUE: When the app is in background (after previously launched), and the purchase intent is initiated from Xcode Transaction Manager or using the "itms-services://?action=purchaseIntent" method, the system foregrounds my app but the purchase intent is never delivered to the waiting listener. The intent remains queued until the next cold launch (quit app and relaunch app). This could mean that if a user has installed the app, and has run the app, then tapped the promotional IAP from the App Store, the purchase intent will not show up until the next cold launch. If the app is in quit state, then the system will foreground the app, and purchase intent is delivered correctly. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Launch app (listener starts in StoreKitManager.init()) Background app Add purchase intent via Xcode Transaction Manager Foreground app Result: No purchase sheet appears, no intent delivered Workaround attempts: Using this either in a view or the main app: func checkForPurchaseIntents() async { for await purchaseIntent in PurchaseIntent.intents { await storeKit.purchaseProduct(purchaseIntent.product) } } Applied to .onChange(of: scenePhase) - Doesn't work, nothing happens. Using UIApplication.willEnterForegroundNotification - Only works on the first time the app goes from background to foreground when purchase intent is sent. Doesn't work on second time or third time. • Attempting to creating fresh listening task on each foreground - Does not work. The question is: How are we supposed to implement the PurchaseIntent API? I have checked Apple sample projects like BackyardBirds, and sample projects from WWDC on StoreKit 2 but they never implemented Purchase Intent.

Hello! We develop a SAS driver and a service application for DAS devices. When users in our application create a RAID array on the device: On the 1st step, our dext driver mounts a new volume. At this step DiskUtil automatically tries to mount it. As there is no file system on the new volume - the MacOS system popup appears "The disk you attached was not readable by the computer" On the 2nd step our application creates the file system on this new volume. So we do not need this MacOS system popup to appear (as it may frustrate our users). We found a way to disable the global auto mount but this solution also impacts on other devices (which is not good). Are there any other possibilities to prevent the popup "The disk you attached was not readable by the computer" from appearing?
