I am working with an open source watch called PineTime to implement ANCS support so users can receive iOS notifications in the watch.
I am having g trouble discovering the ANCS on an iOS device. The watch is properly paired and bonded. I realize that the ANCS may not always be present, so I also subscribed to the GATT Service changed characteristic, but never received a notification/indication for a service becoming active.
Is there something I am missing? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have a small error 23. I wanted to know if you also already have this error so in the simulator it works, I have no error, but once I do in the TestFlight I have the error that appears error 23, can anyone help me on this? Thanks a lot.
We are using PacketTunnel as system extension to establish vpn tunnel. The flow is like:
Create a PacketTunnelProvide to establish vpn
When tunnel gets connected add excludedRoutes by calling setTunnelNetworkSettings().
Result: The routing table is not getting updated with new excludeRoutes entries.
As per setTunnelNetworkSettings() documentation:
"This function is called by tunnel provider implementations to set the network settings of the tunnel, including IP routes, DNS servers, and virtual interface addresses depending on the tunnel type. Subclasses should not override this method. This method can be called multiple times during the lifetime of a particular tunnel. It is not necessary to call this function with nil to clear out the existing settings before calling this function with a non-nil configuration."
So we believe setTunnelNetworkSettings() should be able to set new excludeRoutes. We could see we are passing correct entries to setTunnelNetworkSettings():
{
tunnelRemoteAddress = 10.192.229.240
DNSSettings = {
protocol = cleartext
server = (
10.192.230.211,
192.168.180.15,
)
matchDomains = (
,
)
matchDomainsNoSearch = NO
}
IPv4Settings = {
configMethod = manual
addresses = (
100.100.100.17,
)
subnetMasks = (
255.255.255.255,
)
includedRoutes = (
{
destinationAddress = 1.1.1.1
destinationSubnetMask = 255.255.255.255
gatewayAddress = 100.100.100.17
},
{
destinationAddress = 2.2.2.0
destinationSubnetMask = 255.255.255.255
gatewayAddress = 100.100.100.17
},
{
destinationAddress = 11.11.11.0
destinationSubnetMask = 255.255.255.0
gatewayAddress = 100.100.100.17
},
)
excludedRoutes = (
{
destinationAddress = 170.114.52.2
destinationSubnetMask = 255.255.255.255
},
)
overridePrimary = NO
}
MTU = 1298
}
The problem is present on macOS Sequoia 15.2.
Is it a known issue? Did anyone else faced this issue?
Current if we use the removeAccessory(_:completionHandler:) method in ASAccessorySession, it removes the accessory from the system and all apps that have previously paired also lose access.
Is there a way to remove the paired accessory only from the app from where the removeAccessory() call is being made? This would be useful in cases where one or more accessories are shared across apps and we need to manage them.
I'm using flutter's inappwebview. All functions work on my simulator and phone, but when I submit for review, I get an answer saying infinite loading. How did it happen? I don't know what the problem is.

I have shortcuts up and running and I have my custom response added to my completion handler since day1.
Recently I upgraded to iOS18, and found out the app I develop can not display the custom response.
I test the app on iOS17.6, the display of custom response is no problem.
The situation is exactly like the problem posted on 2018: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/109324
Can anyone help me or have the same bugs?
Thank you so much!
Happy 2025
I am writing to address a concern regarding the background permission functionality in my app, which is critical for ensuring user safety as they navigate various terrains. This feature also enables users to smoothly record their navigation tracks for review after their activities. Recently, I've noticed that this functionality is not working as seamlessly as before.
Additionally, I observed that the app is not categorized under 'health and fitness'—could reclassifying it improve background activity? Before I delve into a detailed code review, I wanted to check if this issue might be related to sync or settings on the App Store side, such as permission configurations, app updates, or other related factors. Or, is it more likely an issue stemming from the app’s codebase?

Hi Team,
We are getting below error when we try to connect our REST APIs from our device. Our application is enterprise application and its connecting all backend calls via MobileIron Secure Tunnel(VPN). We are not encountering this error when we try to connect backend system from Simulator on VPN connected machine. We are calling 13 APIs but we are getting below error intermittently for different APIs i.e each time we are facing this issue for different APIs. We connected with our Helpdesk team to troubleshoot the error and they checked the MobileIron VPN firewall and there is no log
We configured below things
Allow Arbitrary Loads - True
<key>NSExceptionMinimumTLSVersion</key>
<string>TLSv1.2</string>
We are using Alamofire library to connect backend. We disabled all site validation and we configured minTLSVersion 1.2. Please find below code snippet
static let serverTrustPolicies:[String: ServerTrustEvaluating] = {
var sites = [String]()
sites.append("apis.xyz.com")
return sites.reduce([String: ServerTrustEvaluating]()) { (dictionary, site) -> [String: Alamofire.ServerTrustEvaluating] in
var dictionary = dictionary
dictionary[site] = DisabledTrustEvaluator()
return dictionary
}
}()
static let manager: Session = {
var serverTrustPolicies: [String: ServerTrustEvaluating] = NetworkClient.serverTrustPolicies
let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default
configuration.tlsMinimumSupportedProtocolVersion = .TLSv12
return Alamofire.Session(configuration: configuration,
serverTrustManager: CustomTrustManager(evaluators: serverTrustPolicies))
}()
error from Alamofire

Hello Everyone,
I'm currently working on a cross-platform application that uses IP-based multicast for device discovery across both Apple and non-Apple devices running the same app. All devices join a multicast group "X.X.X.X" on port Y.
For Apple devices, I am using NWConnectionGroup for multicast discovery, while for non-Apple devices, I am using BSD sockets.
The issue arises when I attempt to send a multicast message to the group using NWConnectionGroup. The message is sent from a separate ephemeral port rather than the multicast port Y. As a result, all Apple processes that are using NWConnectionGroup can successfully receive the multicast message. However, the processes running on the non-Apple devices (using BSD sockets) do not receive the message.
My Questions:
Is there a way to configure NWConnectionGroup to send multicast messages from the same multicast port Y rather than an ephemeral port?
Is there any known behavior or limitation in how NWConnectionGroup handles multicast that could explain why non-Apple devices using BSD sockets cannot receive the message?
How can I ensure cross-platform multicast compatibility between Apple devices using NWConnectionGroup and non-Apple devices using BSD sockets?
Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Harshal
Dear Team,
we are from Austria and want to test our apple pay on the web implementation via Apple Sandbox. As far as we can see Austria is not on the list that sandbox supports Apple Pay testing for. Can you please advise how can we move forward with testing?
We have already created and also tried out our Sandbox account on iPhone 11 and successfully added test cards to the Wallet. Can we expect please in later stage some restrictions due to our region?
Thank you in advance.

I have an iOS app that installs a Content Filter in order to block certain types of content at the network/socket level. The Family Controls framework stipulates that this can only be done successfully on a FamilyControlsMember.child account type (or on a supervised device). Our initial release has been really successful, but I would say that perhaps 75% of our users are .individual (probably over 18). Perhaps a topic for another forum post is to discuss how Apple's policy here doesn't seem to be meeting a real need here for non-minors, but I'll leave that alone for now.
The problem we're facing is that as far as I can tell, the only way to determine if someone has the right account type is to initiate an authorization request using AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for:) and then inspect the error. I think it could really help the usability of the app if we could detect the account type and preemptively show a helpful message if the authorization could not succeed, and recommend some alternatives. But I've looked so far in vain for some way to do this.
Is there any api in Family Controls (or elsewhere) that can query the system for this information? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Hello, we are processing the first network permission request transaction on iOS. We have found that when the CTCellularData is in the kCTCellularDataNotRestricted state and we attempt to perform a network access in the callback function, an exception is reported. How can we resolve this issue? I’ve seen that some solutions on the internet suggest adding a delay of 1 second. Are there any other methods?

Hello, I am very new to programming with Xcode. I’ve been searching the forums and online but can’t seem to find an answer. My project is not displaying the triangle build button in the left corner, nor the status of the build. No issues with my code are apparent, yet it does not build and preview when I push build and clean in the product tab
I've been testing the Live CallerID feature using the Apple-provided local server example - live-caller-id-lookup-example. I've been running a local server with tunneling using ngrok for the initial setup. Everything was working perfectly with the following setup:
@main
final class CallerID: LiveCallerIDLookupProtocol {
var context: LiveCallerIDLookupExtensionContext {
LiveCallerIDLookupExtensionContext(
serviceURL: URL(string: "https://example-tunnel.ngrok.io")!,
tokenIssuerURL: URL(string: "https://example-tunnel.ngrok.io")!,
userTierToken: Data(base64Encoded: "BBBB")!
)
}
}
However, after I updated the URLs to the production ones, I encountered an issue:
@main
struct CallerID: LiveCallerIDLookupProtocol {
var context: LiveCallerIDLookupExtensionContext {
LiveCallerIDLookupExtensionContext(
serviceURL: URL(string: "https://example.net/")!,
tokenIssuerURL: URL(string: "https://example/issue")!,
userTierToken: Data(base64Encoded: "BBBB")!
)
}
}
The problem is that during calls or when updating PIR parameters, the application still attempts to connect to the initial ngrok tunnel URLs instead of using the new production URLs. I can confirm this because the logs on my local server show incoming requests, indicating that the application is still referencing the old ngrok tunnel URLs.
Steps I’ve taken to resolve the issue include:
Deleting and reinstalling the application.
Using reset(forExtensionWithIdentifier:)
Unfortunately, these attempts have not been successful. I even extracted the binary of the app and extension to inspect the strings, confirming that the correct production URLs are present.
The server was started with the following command:
PIRService --hostname 127.0.0.1 service-config.json
Could this be some sort of caching bug on the iOS side, or am I missing something?
