I'm having problems constructing the initial stack for the guest executable for Valgrind on macOS 12 Intel. This seemed to work OK for macOS 11 but I'm getting a bad 'apple' pointer on macOS 12. The stack (constructed by Valgrind) looks like this higher address +-----------------+ <- clstack_end | | : string table : | | +-----------------+ | NULL | +-----------------+ | executable_path | (first arg to execve()) +-----------------+ | NULL | - - | envp | +-----------------+ | NULL | - - | argv | +-----------------+ | argc | +-----------------+ | mach_header * | (dynamic only) lower address +-----------------+ <- sp | undefined | : : The problem that I'm having is with the executable path (or the apple pointer). This points to NULL. The actual pointer to the "executable=xxx" string is 16 bytes lower in memory. The code for main starts with Dump of assembler code for function main: 0x0000000100003a90 <+0>: push %rbp 0x0000000100003a91 <+1>: mov %rsp,%rbp 0x0000000100003a94 <+4>: sub $0x60,%rsp 0x0000000100003a98 <+8>: movl $0x0,-0x4(%rbp) 0x0000000100003a9f <+15>: mov %edi,-0x8(%rbp) 0x0000000100003aa2 <+18>: mov %rsi,-0x10(%rbp) 0x0000000100003aa6 <+22>: mov %rdx,-0x18(%rbp) 0x0000000100003aaa <+26>: mov %rcx,-0x20(%rbp) That's the prefix, making space for locals, setting a local variable to 0 then getting the 4 arguments from main in edi, rsi, rdx and rcx as per the SYSV amd64 ABI. I think that it is dyld that puts the apple pointer into rcx. Can anyone tall me how dyld works out the address of the apple pointer?

I've spent a few months writing an app that uses SwiftData with inheritance. Everything worked well until I tried adding CloudKit support. To do so, I had to make all relationships optional, which exposed what appears to be a bug. Note that this isn't a CloudKit issue -- it happens even when CloudKit is disabled -- but it's due to the requirement for optional relationships. In the code below, I get the following error on the second call to modelContext.save() when the button is clicked: Could not cast value of type 'SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier' (0x1ef510b68) to 'SimplePersistenceIdentifierTest.Computer' (0x1025884e0). I was surprised to find zero hit when Googling "Could not cast value of type 'SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier'". Some things to note: Calling teacher.computers?.append(computer) instead of computer.teacher = teacher results in the same error. It only happens when Teacher inherits Person. It only happens if modelContext.save() is called both times. It works if the first modelContext.save() is commented out. If the second modelContext.save()is commented out, the error occurs the second time the model context is saved (whether explicitly or implicitly). Keep in mind this is a super simple repro written to generate on demand the error I'm seeing in a normal app. In my app, modelContext.save() must be called in some places to update the UI immediately, sometimes resulting in the error seconds later when the model context is saved automatically. Not calling modelContext.save() doesn't appear to be an option. To be sure, I'm new to this ecosystem so I'd be thrilled if I've missed something obvious! Any thoughts are appreciated. import Foundation import SwiftData import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) var modelContext var body: some View { VStack { Button("Do it") { let teacher = Teacher() let computer = Computer() modelContext.insert(teacher) modelContext.insert(computer) try! modelContext.save() computer.teacher = teacher try! modelContext.save() } } } } @Model class Computer { @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify) var teacher: Teacher? init() {} } @Model class Person { init() {} } @available(iOS 26.0, macOS 26.0, *) @Model class Teacher: Person { @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify, inverse: \Computer.teacher) public var computers: [Computer]? = [] override init() { super.init() } }

I'm following up on a couple of forum threads from 2020 to get more clarity on the current guidance for supporting multiple XPC services in system extensions. For context, I'm trying to create a system extension that contains both an Endpoint Security client and a Network Extension filter, and I'm seeing indications that the system may not expect this and doesn't handle it smoothly. First: Previous guidance indicated that the system would automatically provide a Mach service named <TeamID>.<BundleID>.xpc to use for communicating with the system extension. However, the SystemExtension man page currently documents an Info.plist key called NSEndpointSecurityMachServiceName and suggests that the default service name is deprecated; and in fact if this key is not set, I find a message in the Console: The extension from () is using the deprecated default mach service name. Please update the extension to set the NSEndpointSecurityMachServiceName key in the Info.plist file. I have accordingly set this key, but I wanted to confirm that this is the current best practice. Second, and more interesting: Another user was trying to do something similar and observed that the Mach service for the endpoint security client wasn't available but the NE filter was. Quinn did some research and replied that this was intended behavior, quoting the EndpointSecurity man page: "If ES extension is combined with a Network Extension, set the NEMachServiceName key in the Info.plist" (which I have also done), and concluding from this: ... if you have a combined ES and NE system extension then the Mach service provided by the NE side takes precedence. However, the current man page does not include this quoted text and says nothing about a combined ES and NE system extension. So I'm wondering about current best practice. If I do combine the ES and NE clients in a single system extension, should they each declare the Mach service name under their respective Info.plist keys? And could there be a single XPC listener for both, using the same service name under each key, or would it be better to have separate XPC listeners? Alternatively, would it be preferable to have each component in a separate system extension? (This would entail some rearchitecting of the current design.)

I am building an automation using Shortcuts. The shortcut reads text from my Notes, sends it to Apple Intelligence, converts the result into dictionary values, and then saves those values into a Numbers sheet by adding rows through a form. The problem is that when the automation processes multiple lines and adds multiple rows, the Numbers app opens every time a row is added. I would like this process to run automatically at a scheduled time without opening the Numbers app repeatedly on my iPhone. Is there a way to update the Numbers sheet in the background without launching the Numbers app? Please let me know if there is a solution.

Hello, We are facing an issue with In-App Purchases (subscriptions) in two iOS apps built with React Native + react-native-iap. Issue Some users receive the error: E_CONNECTION_CLOSED during the purchase flow. However: The payment is successfully deducted via the App Store. The subscription appears in the user's Apple ID subscription list. But on our side: The app does not receive the StoreKit transaction callback No receipt or transaction ID is delivered Our backend cannot validate the purchase. Restore Purchases When affected users try Restore Purchases, StoreKit returns: No purchases found even though the subscription is visible in their Apple ID. Most affected users are from India, and many payments are made via UPI through App Store billing. Has anyone experienced a case where: the user is charged the subscription exists in Apple ID but StoreKit never returns the transaction or receipt? Any suggestions on how to recover these transactions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, my app was rejected because IAP were not present in the app. I followed guidelines more carefully and filled all buisness detail since then. And now I have: StoreKit Configuration in XCode is set to None, Products (subscription + consumable product) are already approved (from the previous review) Paid Apps Agreement - active Bank account - active Tax forms - active Compliance - active Problems: When trying to test it with TestFlight + sandbox account, StoreKit is returning zero products. When trying to check my products by "initiate transaction" from Sandbox App Store manage dashboard I am getting an error "This item is not available" I am totally stuck and don't know what to process next. Unfortunately API.

Hi Writing an app in Swift on Xcode for my iPhone, all software is the latest version. If after making a minor change and re-building all the application data has disappeared, is there a way to see if it is still in the .modelContainer and just not showing up?

In the WWDC 2019 session "Extended Runtime for WatchOS apps" the video talks about an entitlement being required to use the HR sensor judiciously in the background. It provides a link to request the entitlement which no longer works: http://developer.apple.com/contect/request/health-monitoring The session video is also quite hard to find these days. Does anyone know why this is the case? Is the API and entitlement still available? Is there a supported way to run, even periodically, in the background on the Watch app (ignoring the background observer route which is known to be unreliable) and access existing HR sensor data

I am developing an app used by public safety agencies. Part of the app is used to determine live agency staffing using geofences. For example, a geofence exists around a station, and when a user enters or exits that geofence, the app updates the staffing count at that station in real time. The issue I am having is reliably detecting when a user enters or exits the geofence while the app is killed (meaning the user force quit the app from the app launcher). I understand that iOS can relaunch an app in the background if the system terminated the process using Region Monitoring, but I haven't gotten a clear answer about whether or how this is possible if the user kills (force quits) the app. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello, We are experiencing an issue related to push notifications after updating devices to iOS 26.4 Beta. Our system stores push notification tokens on the server by associating the device token with the device’s IDFV in the app. After updating a device to iOS 26.4 Beta, we observed that the device token from a previously uninstalled version of the app remains valid for more than a week. As a result, two push notifications are delivered to the same device. The situation is as follows: The user installs the app and a device token is generated. The user uninstalls the app. Later, the user installs the app again and a new device token is generated. However, the previous device token does not become invalid, even after more than a week. Because IDFV changes when the app is reinstalled, our server cannot determine that the device belongs to the same user. Therefore, we cannot overwrite the old token with the new one on the server side. Could you please advise: Is this behavior expected in iOS 26.4 Beta? How long does it normally take for a device token to become invalid after an app is uninstalled? What is the recommended approach to prevent duplicate push notifications in this situation? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Best regards

I’m encountering a strange, sporadic error in FileManager.replaceItemAt(_:withItemAt:) when trying to update files that happen to be stored in cloud containers such as iCloud Drive or Dropbox. Here’s my setup: I have an NSDocument-based app which uses a zip file format (although the error can be reproduced using any kind of file). In my NSDocument.writeToURL: implementation, I do the following: Create a temp folder using FileManager.url(for: .itemReplacementDirectory, in: .userDomainMask, appropriateFor: fileURL, create: true). Copy the original zip file into the temp directory. Update the zip file in the temp directory. Move the updated zip file into place by moving it from the temp directory to the original location using FileManager.replaceItemAt(_:withItemAt:). This all works perfectly - most of the time. However, very occasionally I receive a save error caused by replaceItemAt(_withItemAt:) failing. Saving can work fine for hundreds of times, but then, once in a while, I’ll receive an “operation not permitted” error in replaceItemAt. I have narrowed the issue down and found that it only occurs when the original file is in a cloud container - when FileManager.isUbiquitousItem(at:) returns true for the original fileURL I am trying to replace. (e.g. Because the user has placed the file in iCloud Drive.) Although strangely, the permissions issue seems to be with the temp file rather than with the original (if I try copying or deleting the temp file after this error occurs, I’m not allowed; I am allowed to delete the original though - not that I’d want to of course). Here’s an example of the error thrown by replaceItemAt: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 "You don’t have permission to save the file “test-file.txt” in the folder “Dropbox”." UserInfo={NSFileBackupItemLeftBehindLocationKey=file:///var/folders/mt/0snrr8fx7270rm0b14ll5k500000gn/T/TemporaryItems/NSIRD_TempFolderBug_y3UvzP/test-file.txt, NSFileOriginalItemLocationKey=file:///var/folders/mt/0snrr8fx7270rm0b14ll5k500000gn/T/TemporaryItems/NSIRD_TempFolderBug_y3UvzP/test-file.txt, NSURL=file:///Users/username/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/test-file.txt, NSFileNewItemLocationKey=file:///Users/username/Library/CloudStorage/Dropbox/test-file.txt, NSUnderlyingError=0xb1e22ff90 {Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 "You don’t have permission to save the file “test-file.txt” in the folder “NSIRD_TempFolderBug_y3UvzP”."

"Dummy text".write(to: tempURL, atomically: false, encoding: .utf8)) != nil else { return } do { // Use replaceItemAt to safely move the new file into place. _ = try fileManager.replaceItemAt(savingURL, withItemAt: tempURL) print("save succeeded!") try? fileManager.removeItem(at: replacementDirURL) // Clean up. } catch { print("save failed with error: \(error)") // Note: if we try to remove replaceDirURL here or do anything with tempURL we will be refused permission. NSAlert(error: error).runModal() } } If you run this code and set savingURL to a location in a non-cloud container such as your ~/Documents directory, it will run forever, resaving the file over and over again without any problems. But if you run the code and set savingURL to a location in a cloud container, such as in an iCloud Drive folder, it will work fine for a while, but after a few minutes - after maybe 100 saves, maybe 500 - it will throw a permissions error in replaceItemAt. (Note that my real app has all the save code wrapped in file coordination via NSDocument methods, so I don’t believe file coordination to be the problem.) What am I doing wrong here? How do I avoid this error? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

The expirationHandler on BGProcessingTask is a () -> Void closure. It provides no information about why it was called. In my testing, all of the following trigger the same handler: Time expiration Resource pressure (CPU, memory, battery) Not reporting progress User tapping "Stop" on the Live Activity There is no way for the app to tell these apart. Questions: Q1. Is there an official, complete list of all conditions that trigger expirationHandler? The documentation only mentions "time expires." Q2. What is the specific time limit before timeout? If it varies by device state, what are the conditions? Q3. A way to distinguish the reason is needed. "User stop" and "system expiration" require completely different handling. Currently this is impossible. Environment: iOS 26, physical device

We are implementing Apple Pay In-App Provisioning in our issuer iOS application and are encountering a HTTP 500 error returned from Apple servers during the provisioning flow. The issue occurs after generating the encrypted payload and attempting to complete the provisioning process. The Apple service responds with 500 Internal Server Error, preventing the card from being added to Wallet. We would appreciate assistance identifying whether this is caused by: • a payload formatting issue, • cryptographic material mismatch, • entitlement / configuration issue, • or a server-side issue. Environment Platform • iOS: 26.3.1 • Device: iPhone 13 mini • Xcode: 26.3.1 Apple Pay configuration • In-App Provisioning entitlement enabled • Issuer app authorized by Apple for provisioning • Payment Network: Mastercard • Token Service Provider (TSP): MDES Testing environment • Production • App distribution method: TestFlight Provisioning Flow Overview Our implementation follows the standard Apple Pay In-App Provisioning flow: 1. User taps Add to Apple Wallet in issuer app. 2. App presents PKAddPaymentPassViewController. 3. App receives: • Apple public certificates • nonce • nonceSignature 4. Issuer backend generates: • encryptedPassData • activationData • ephemeralPublicKey 5. These values are returned to the app. 6. App constructs PKAddPaymentPassRequest. 7. Wallet attempts provisioning. At this point the request fails and Apple servers return HTTP 500. We see this in the system console, with the phone having Wallet debugging profile installed. Checklist – Common Issues Verified Based on the Apple Pay In-App Provisioning demo guidance, we verified the following configuration items. Entitlements • com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning enabled • Apple Pay capability enabled in Xcode • Correct Team ID and bundle configuration App configuration • PKAddPaymentPassViewController used for provisioning • PKAddPaymentPassViewControllerDelegate implemented • generateRequestWithCertificateChain implemented correctly Cryptographic data • encryptedPassData • activationData • ephemeralPublicKey All values are generated by our issuer backend and returned to the app Feedback ID: FB22249031 (In app provisioning error 500)

Hello, I am investigating a case where two different transaction IDs appear to refer to the same purchase, and I would like clarification on whether this behavior is expected. Additional context StoreKit version: StoreKit 1 (SKPaymentTransaction) Environment: Production Product type: Auto-renewable subscription Transaction sources The values are obtained from the following APIs: transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skpaymentqueue receipt_data from the App Store receipt https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/bundle/appstorereceipturl Observed behavior After an In-App Purchase completes, the app receives: a transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction the corresponding receipt_data for the purchase When inspecting the receipt, the transaction_id inside latest_receipt_info differs from the transaction_id received directly from the purchase transaction. For clarity: A = transaction_id received from the purchase flow (SKPaymentTransaction) A' = transaction_id found in receipt_data.latest_receipt_info The two values are different, but they differ only by 1. Additional observation The original_transaction_id for A and A' is identical, which suggests that both transaction IDs belong to the same subscription purchase chain. Pattern observation on the ID difference We have observed that the difference between A and A' is consistently exactly 1 (i.e., A' = A + 1) across multiple transactions, not just a single case. This appears to be a reproducible pattern rather than a coincidence. This observation raises an additional question (Question 6 below). API verification When calling: GET /inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId} Both A and A' return what appears to be the same purchase record. The response data is effectively identical except for the transactionId field. However, when calling: GET /inApps/v2/history/{transactionId} A does not appear in the transaction history only A' appears in the history response Questions If A does not appear in transaction history, where does this transaction ID originate from? Why does Get Transaction Info (/inApps/v1/transactions/{transactionId}) return a valid response for A even though it is not present in the transaction history? Why do A and A' both resolve to what appears to be the same purchase? In this situation, which transaction ID should be treated as the canonical transaction ID for server-side validation? Is this difference related to how StoreKit 1 (SKPaymentTransaction) and the App Store Server API represent transactions? Is the consistent off-by-one difference between the transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction and the one recorded in latest_receipt_info an intentional behavior of StoreKit 1's internal transaction ID assignment? Specifically, we are wondering whether StoreKit 1 applies some form of internal offset when delivering the transaction ID to the client, while the App Store server records a different (adjacent) ID in the receipt. If so, is this documented anywhere? Note We are currently in the process of migrating to StoreKit 2, but this behavior was observed while investigating our existing StoreKit 1 implementation. Any clarification would help us better understand the correct transaction model during the migration.

Hello I have implemented URL Filter using below sample link https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/filtering-traffic-by-url But currently I am facing weird issue when I try to add new urls in the input_urls.txt file. When I add url in the file and execute BloomFilterTool again, it creates new bloom plist as well as server url file so I replaces those manually restart the server as well as reinstall the app, but when I do so I am not able to get new urls blocked by browser until and unless I am not killing browser and relaunching it again. Does anybody facing same kind of issue ?

Hello, I'm trying to develop a driver that uses PCIe through the mac's thunderbold ports. I requested a PCI entitlement, and it's just an empty array in the entitlements file by default. I was wondering if the vendor ID submitted with my entitlement request is supposed to populate this dictionary? I'm currently getting an entitlement check failed from kernel: DK: IOUserServer and was unsure if the PCI entitlement configuration was incorrect. Default entitlement: <key>com.apple.developer.driverkit.transport.pci</key> <array> </array> I'd be happy to provide more information as needed, but any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

We are using BGContinuedProcessingTask on iOS 26 for long-running background video compression and upload. This work usually takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour. In testing on physical devices, expirationHandler is invoked irregularly. In some cases, it seems like it is caused by total task duration, and in other cases, it seems related to system resource conditions such as CPU, memory, or battery. However, even after many experiments, we have not been able to find a clear or consistent pattern. The important problem for us is that we cannot tell why expirationHandler was called. From the app’s perspective, we need to handle the following cases differently: the user taps Stop in the Live Activity the system expires the task due to time expiration the task is terminated due to system resource pressure (CPU, memory, battery, etc.) other system-driven termination cases However, at the moment, it is difficult or practically impossible to distinguish these cases reliably. My questions are: In the context of BGContinuedProcessingTask, is it correct to think that expirationHandler may be triggered by reasons such as time expiration, system resource pressure, and user stop? If so, is there any official or supported way for the app to distinguish between these reasons? For long-running work such as video compression and upload, is it expected behavior that expirationHandler is invoked irregularly? If BGContinuedProcessingTask is not a stable approach for 30-minute to 1-hour background work, is there any other recommended or more reliable way to perform this kind of long-running background processing on iOS without unexpected interruption?

I've added .storeButton(.visible, for:.policies) to my SubscriptionStoreView, and the buttons do appear, but when I tap on them I get a sheet that just says "Terms of Service Unavailable / Somethng went wrong. Try Again.". (similar for Privacy Policy). Is this expected in development? Will these start working correctly in production? (and, more importantly, in App Review?) The docs say that these use the values (i.e. URLs) set in App Store Connect, but that I can override those. This is a new app. Is that wrong, do I need to set the URLs explicitly? Edited to add: the console reports: Failed to fetch terms of service and privacy policy: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1011 "(null)"
