The app crashes when using EAAccessoryManager.showBluetoothAccessoryPicker(withNameFilter:) to connect to a Bluetooth accessory in a multi-accessory scenario. The crash occurs immediately after selecting an accessory from the picker UI. Steps to Reproduce: Ensure a Bluetooth accessory (Accessory A) is already connected to the iPhone/iPad and is visible in Bluetooth settings. Launch the app. Initiate a connection flow that presents the Bluetooth accessory picker using EAAccessoryManager.showBluetoothAccessoryPicker(withNameFilter:). Ensure another compatible accessory (Accessory B) is available and visible in the picker. Select Accessory B from the picker to connect. After connection, simulate a disconnect of Accessory B (e.g., power cycle or remove battery). Attempt to reconnect Accessory B by triggering the same picker flow again. Select Accessory B from the picker. Result: The accessory connects successfully at the system level. The app crashes immediately after selecting the accessory from the picker (during dismissal). Reproducibility: Occurs consistently under the described multi-accessory scenario. Not observed when only a single accessory is present.

The sources include Screenshots, Photos, Files, and third-party apps. The desired user experience is similar to apps such as ChatGPT or Claude: when the user taps our app in the share sheet, the main containing app opens and starts importing or uploading the shared image or PDF. We are trying to understand the supported public API for this behavior. What we have tried CFBundleDocumentTypes We added document type support for: public.image public.png public.jpeg public.heic public.heif com.adobe.pdf This works for some document-open flows, such as opening files from Files or Photos in certain cases. However, it does not make the app appear reliably as a share target from Screenshot Share or from some third-party app share sheets. App Intents We tried using App Intents with IntentFile and: static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = true However, this does not seem to create a general-purpose share-sheet receiver for arbitrary image or PDF NSItemProvider payloads. Share Extension We also implemented a Share Extension that: Receives the shared NSItemProvider. Stores the image or PDF in an app group container. Attempts to open the containing app. However: NSExtensionContext.open(_:completionHandler:) does not appear to foreground the containing app from a Share Extension in the way we need. We also tested responder-chain openURL: trampoline approaches, but those do not work reliably and appear to be unsupported as a public API contract. Questions Is there a supported public API for an iOS app to appear as a share target for arbitrary image/PDF NSItemProvider payloads and then directly open the containing app? If apps such as ChatGPT or Claude appear to switch directly into the main app from the share sheet, is that behavior achievable using public APIs available to third-party developers? If directly opening the containing app is not supported, is the recommended design to perform all upload/import work inside the Share Extension itself? Are App Intents intended to support this kind of share-sheet attachment import flow, either currently or in a future iOS version? Reproduction Steps We created a focused sample project to reproduce the issue. Build and run the app on a physical iPhone. Leave the app installed. Capture a screenshot. Tap the screenshot thumbnail. Tap the Share button. Choose the app’s Share Extension from the share sheet. Observe that the Share Extension receives the image payload. Attempt to open the containing app from the extension. Expected Result The containing app should foreground and receive a URL or other handoff signal indicating that a shared file is available for import. Actual Result The Share Extension receives the image payload and logs the provider type identifiers, but the containing app does not reliably foreground. NSExtensionContext.open does not provide the desired transition, and responder-chain URL-opening workarounds do not appear to be supported or reliable. Minimal Question For image/PDF imports from the iOS share sheet, should the supported implementation be: Share Extension receives the file → Share Extension performs the upload/import itself rather than: Share Extension receives the file → Share Extension opens containing app → Main app performs upload/import Any guidance on the supported architecture would be appreciated. Thank you.

Heyy, I'm building a music tracking app that logs a user's Apple Music plays to build a personal weekly chart. The core mechanic depends on accurately counting how many times a user plays each track. My current implementation uses MPMusicPlayerController.systemMusicPlayer with beginGeneratingPlaybackNotifications() and observes MPMusicPlayerControllerNowPlayingItemDidChange. This works well when the app is in the foreground or recently backgrounded, but notifications stop firing once iOS suspends the app. To get around this I've implemented: applicationDidBecomeActive - restarts the monitor and logs the currently playing track on every foreground Background fetch (performFetchWithCompletionHandler) - periodically wakes the app to log what's playing. This gives some coverage but misses plays that happen between background fetch intervals or when the user hasn't opened the app in a while. The result is an inaccurate play count which undermines the core feature. My questions: Is there a supported entitlement or capability that would allow an app to receive MPMusicPlayerController playback notifications while suspended? Is MusicKit or MediaPlayer the recommended framework for this use case, or is there a better API I'm not aware of? Are there any supported background modes that would keep playback notification delivery alive without requiring the app to be a full audio player? I've looked at MusicRecentlyPlayedRequest but it only returns the last 25 items with no play counts, so it can't tell me a track was played 10 times vs once. Any guidance on the right approach here would be really appreciated.

Platform: iOS 26 (23E254) Xcode: 26.0 Reproduces on: Debug builds AND TestFlight Summary: I'm using Apple-Hosted Managed Background Assets with on-demand download policy. The .aar archives download successfully (correct file size, status = downloaded), but the contents are never extracted into the asset pack namespace. AssetPackManager.shared.contents(at:) returns fileNotFound for all path variants, and url(for: FilePath(".")) returns a URL that exists but contains zero children. Root Cause from Sysdiagnose: The backgroundassets.user daemon logs reveal this error on every download attempt: A bundle record couldn't be looked up for the application identifier "AtlasDrift.SnapTrail": Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-10814 "(null)" UserInfo={_LSFile=LSBindingEvaluator.mm, _LSLine=1973, _LSFunction=runEvaluator} Error code -10814 is kLSApplicationNotFoundErr. The BA daemon downloads the .aar blob, then attempts to find the app bundle via LaunchServices to locate the extension for extraction — but the LS lookup fails.

Is the daemon's LaunchServices integration known to be broken in this seed? Is there anything about the bundle identifier format or provisioning profile setup that could cause the BA daemon's LS lookup to fail, even though the app installs and runs fine otherwise? Are there any additional Info.plist keys or entitlements beyond what's documented that might be required for the daemon to locate the app bundle? Any guidance would be appreciated. I've filed a Feedback report with the full sysdiagnose attached.

Hi All, I am working on a macOS System Extension using Apple’s Network Extension Framework, designed to observe and log network activity at multiple layers. The system extension is currently stable and working as expected for HTTP and DNS traffic with 3 providers, getting Socket, HTTP, and DNS logs. Current Architecture Overview The project consists of two Xcode targets: 1. Main App Process Responsible for: Managing system extension lifecycle (activation, configuration) Establishing IPC (XPC) communication with extensions Receiving structured logs from extensions Writing logs efficiently to disk using a persistent file handle Uses: OSSystemExtensionManager NEFilterManager, NETransparentProxyManager, NEDNSProxyManager NWPathMonitor for network availability handling Persistent logging mechanism (FileHandle) 2. System Extension Process Contains three providers, all running within a single system extension process: a) Content Filter (NEFilterDataProvider) Captures socket-level metadata Extracts: PID via audit token Local/remote endpoints Protocol (TCP/UDP, IPv4/IPv6) Direction (inbound/outbound) Sends structured JSON logs via shared IPC b) Transparent Proxy (NETransparentProxyProvider) Intercepts TCP flows Creates a corresponding NWConnection to the destination Captures both HTTP and HTTPS traffic, sends it to HTTPFlowLogger file which bypasses if it's not HTTP traffic. Uses a custom HTTPFlowLogger: Built using SwiftNIO library (NIO HTTP1) Parses up to HTTP/1.1 traffic Handles streaming, headers, and partial body capture (with size limits) Maintains per-flow state and lifecycle management Logs structured HTTP data via shared IPC c) DNS Proxy (NEDNSProxyProvider) Intercepts UDP DNS traffic Forwards queries to upstream resolver (system DNS or fallback) Maintains shared UDP connection Tracks pending requests using DNS IDs Parses DNS packets (queries + responses) using a custom parser Logs structured DNS metadata via shared IPC Shared Component: IPCConnection Single bidirectional XPC channel used by all providers Handles: App → Extension registration Extension → App logging Uses Mach service defined in system extension entitlements Project Structure NetworkExtension (Project) │ ├── NetworkExtension (Target 1: Main App) │ ├── AppDelegate.swift │ ├── Assets.xcassets │ ├── Info.plist │ ├── NetworkExtension.entitlements │ ├── Main.storyboard │ └──ViewController.swift │ ├── SystemExtensions (Target 2: Extension Process) │ ├── common/ │ │ ├── IPCConnection.swift │ │ └── main.swift │ │ │ ├── DNSProxyProvider/ │ │ ├──DNSDataParser.swift │ │ └──DNSProxyProvider.swift (DNS Proxy) │ │ │ ├── FilterDataProvider/ │ │ └── FilterDataProvider.swift │ │ │ ├── TransparentProxyProvider/ │ │ ├── HTTPLogParser.swift │ │ ├── LogDataModel.swift │ │ └──TransparentProxyProvider.swift │ │ │ ├── Info.plist │ └── SystemExtensions.entitlements │ Current Capabilities Unified logging pipeline across: Socket-level metadata HTTP traffic (HTTP/1.1) DNS queries/responses Efficient log handling using persistent file descriptors Stable IPC communication between app and extensions Flow-level tracking and lifecycle management Selective filtering (e.g., bypass rules for specific IPs) What's the best approach to add TLS Inspection with MITM proxy setup? Some context and constraints: Existing implementation handles HTTP parsing and should remain unchanged (Swift-based). I’m okay with bypassing apps/sites that use certificate pinning (e.g., banking apps) and legitimate sites. Performance is important — I want to avoid high CPU utilization. I’m relatively new to TLS inspection and MITM proxy design. Questions Is it a good idea to implement TLS inspection within a system extension, or does that typically introduce significant complexity and performance overhead? As NETransparentProxyProvider already intercepting HTTPS traffic, can we redirect it to a separate processing pipeline (e.g., another file/module), while keeping the existing HTTP parser(HTTPFlowLogger - HTTP only parser) intact? What are the recommended architectural approaches for adding HTTPS parsing via MITM in a performant way? Are there best practices for selectively bypassing pinned or sensitive domains while still inspecting other traffic? Any guidance on avoiding common pitfalls (e.g., certificate handling, connection reuse, latency issues)? I’m looking for a clean, maintainable approach to integrate HTTPS inspection into my existing system without unnecessary complexity or performance degradation. Please let me know if any additional details from my side would help in suggesting the most appropriate approach. Thanks in advance for your time and insights—I really appreciate it.

I’m encountering a persistent issue with my Network Extension (specifically NEFilterDataProvider) and would really appreciate any insights. The extension generally works as expected, but after some time — especially after sleep/wake cycles or network changes — a global network outage occurs. During this state, no network traffic works: pings fail, browsers can’t load pages, etc. As soon as I stop the extension (by disabling it in System Preferences), the network immediately recovers. If I re-enable it, the outage returns instantly. I’ve also noticed that once this happens, the extension stops receiving callbacks like handleNewFlow(), and reinstalling the app or restarting the extension doesn’t help. The only thing that resolves the issue is rebooting the system. After reboot, the extension works fine again — until the problem reoccurs later. I asked AI about this behavior, and it suggested the possibility that the kernel might have marked the extension as untrusted, causing the system to intentionally block all network traffic as a safety mechanism. Has anyone experienced similar behavior with NEFilterDataProvider? Could there be a way to detect or prevent this state without rebooting? Is there any logging or diagnostic data I should collect when it happens again? Any guidance or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

StoreKit2 Repro Notes: the latest renewal appears in Transaction.unfinished after restore (2026-04-05) 1. Issue Summary In the current project, during a normal cold launch: Transaction.latest(for:) returns a value for the weekly subscription Transaction.all returns the full subscription history chain Transaction.unfinished is empty However, after tapping Restore Purchases and calling AppStore.sync(), one "latest renewal" transaction appears in Transaction.unfinished. This behavior looks more like a system-side replay triggered by AppStore.sync() than a consistently unfinished transaction during a normal launch. 2. Affected Product Product: do.i.iapc.vip.week Transaction chain characteristics: All transactions belong to the same auto-renewable subscription chain originalTransactionID = 2000001143446796 The transaction that appears in unfinished is usually the latest or last renewal in the chain 3. Current Code Path During app startup: loadProducts() Debug snapshot for Transaction.latest(for:) Debug snapshot for Transaction.all Scan Transaction.unfinished refreshEntitlements() During restore purchases: Call AppStore.sync() Scan Transaction.unfinished refreshEntitlements() 4. Preconditions A Sandbox test account is used The weekly subscription do.i.iapc.vip.week already has multiple historical renewal transactions The subscription is already expired, so entitlements = 0 during a normal launch The issue is easier to reproduce on an iOS 26.4 device The issue was not consistently reproduced on another iOS 18.2 device 5. Reproduction Steps Path A: Normal cold launch Launch the app Observe the logs: LatestTransaction snapshot AllTransaction snapshot summary unfinished processing result Observed result: latest has a value all contains the full history chain unfinishedHandledCount = 0 Path B: Tap Restore Purchases Launch the app Tap Restore Purchases Trigger AppStore.sync() Observe the logs: restore started unfinished processing started unfinished transaction received Observed result: After restore, one "latest renewal" transaction appears in unfinished That same transaction does not necessarily appear during a normal cold launch 6. Expected Result If a transaction has already been successfully finished in the past, it should not appear again as unfinished after Restore Purchases. A stricter expectation is: During a normal cold launch, unfinished = 0 After tapping Restore Purchases, unfinished should still remain 0 7. Actual Result Actual behavior: Normal cold launch: unfinished = 0 After Restore Purchases: one "latest renewal" transaction appears again in unfinished This suggests that AppStore.sync() may replay the most recent historical subscription transaction. 8. Current Assessment Based on the current logs, the issue is more likely to be: Related to AppStore.sync() / StoreKit / Sandbox replay behavior on the system side Easier to reproduce on iOS 26.4 Less likely to be caused by a persistent app-side bug where finish() is missed during a normal startup flow Reasons: During a normal launch, unfinished = 0 The behavior is inconsistent across devices and OS versions, even with the same Sandbox account latest, all, and unfinished can be clearly separated during a normal cold launch 9. Suggested Engineering Position Suggested wording for internal or external communication: In the iOS 26.4 + Sandbox environment, calling AppStore.sync() may cause StoreKit to replay the latest historical subscription transaction into Transaction.unfinished. Since the same transaction does not necessarily appear during a normal cold launch, the issue currently looks more like a system/environment-specific behavior difference than an app-side bug where finish() is consistently missed during the regular startup path. 10. Additional Evidence That Can Be Collected If this needs to be escalated to the team or to Apple, the following would strengthen the report: Full log comparison before and after tapping Restore Purchases The same transactionId compared between normal launch and post-restore behavior Cross-device comparison on different iOS versions A minimal reproducible sample project and Sandbox test record

Our business interface requests require disabling HTTP(s) proxies. We configured URLSessionConfiguration.connectionProxyDictionary as before, but found that it does not work on iOS 26 1.Core code: let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default configuration.connectionProxyDictionary = [ "HTTPEnable": false, "HTTPSEnable": false, "SOCKSEnable": false, ] let session = URLSession(configuration: configuration) let request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://www.baidu.com")!,timeoutInterval: Double.infinity) // 发送请求 let task = session.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in if let error = error { print("网络请求失败: \(error)") } if let data = data { print("网络请求成功，返回数据长度: \(data.count)") if let responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) { print("返回数据: \(responseString.prefix(100))...") } } } task.resume() 2.Specific steps: We captured traffic using Proxyman and Charles. With the same code, requests cannot be captured on iOS 18 and iOS 16.1, but can be captured on iOS 26.2 and 26.1. Conclusion:Therefore, we suspect there is a bug with URLSessionConfiguration.connectionProxyDictionary on iOS 26.x. Please let us know whether this is a bug. If not, how should we properly disable HTTP(s) proxies? Note: We need to exclude PAC proxies, which are commonly used in corporate internal networks. 3.Devices & Software Xcode 16.4 iPhone 26.2、Simulator 26.1 iPhone 16、Simulator 18.0、Simulator 18.6 Proxyman、Charles

Platform: macOS 26.3.1, M5 Pro MacBook Pro Framework: CoreWLAN Affected applications: NetViews, Air Tool 2, and our own tooling — appears to be specific to the new Wi-Fi 7 hardware Hardware Card Type: chip id: 0x11 api 1.2 firmware [Rev 72.11.260 N1B1 devFused=0] phy [17.1.17.0], core80211 [324.10.260 N1_silicon_b] Firmware: Jan 27 2026 21:18:32 version XBS_BUILD_TAG GIT_DESCRIBE FWID chip id: 0x11 api 1.2 firmware [Rev 72.11.260 N1B1 devFused=0] phy [17.1.17.0], core80211 [324.10.260 N1_silicon_b] Driver: IO80211_driverkit-1540.16 "IO80211_driverkit-1540.16" Jan 27 2026 Background Both issues described below were working correctly on macOS 26 with previous-generation hardware. The regression is specific to the Wi-Fi 7 card shipping in the M5 Pro MacBook Pro. This is not an OS regression — it is a hardware/driver/firmware compatibility issue with the new card under macOS 26. Issue 1: disassociate() + tcpdump/Wireshark -I no longer enters monitor mode Previously, the standard approach of calling disassociate() and then launching tcpdump -i en0 -I or Wireshark -i en0 -I -k would successfully put the interface into monitor mode. On the M5 Pro Wi-Fi 7 card, this no longer works. The capture tool launches but the interface either stays in station mode or enters mode 0 - where there is no connection, but still not able to be a monitor radio. This is the primary regression affecting third-party wireless tools. Issue 2: setWLANChannel reports success but the radio only retunes once As a workaround for Issue 1, we use the built-in Wireless Diagnostics → Sniffer tool to establish monitor mode (which works fairly reliably on this hardware). Once the interface is in monitor mode via that path, we attempt to change the channel using setWLANChannel: let iface = CWWiFiClient.shared().interface(withName: "en0")! let target = iface.supportedWLANChannels()! .first { $0.channelNumber == 6 && $0.channelWidth == .width20MHz }! try iface.setWLANChannel(target) The first call succeeds (eg: channel 48 -> 6) the radio actually tunes to the requested channel and Wireshark captures frames there. Any subsequent call (eg: channel 48 -> 6 -> 1) shows the same apparent success - no error thrown, wlanChannel() updates to reflect the new channel - but the radio does not retune. Wireshark continues capturing on the first changed channel. We have tested with disassociate() and interface power cycling between attempts — neither resets the ability to retune the radio. What we have ruled out Timing: delays between calls make no difference Competing processes holding the interface wlanChannel() returning a stale cache value — it updates correctly, but diverges from actual hardware state after the first channel change Key data point: Wireless Diagnostics Sniffer works The built-in Wireless Diagnostics → Sniffer tool successfully puts the interface into monitor mode on this hardware. This confirms the card and driver are capable - the issue is that the capability is no longer reachable via CoreWLAN or via tcpdump/Wireshark's -I flag. Wireless Diagnostics Sniffer does not support live channel changes, so it cannot serve as a full workaround. The questions Is there a supported path for third-party apps to enter monitor mode on the new Wi-Fi 7 hardware on macOS 26? What is the correct mechanism for changing channels while in monitor mode - is setWLANChannel expected to retune the radio on subsequent calls, or is there a different API intended for this? The fact that Wireless Diagnostics accomplishes both (albeit, not live) confirms the hardware and driver are fully capable - we are looking for the sanctioned equivalent for third-party tools.

I’m using SwiftData with CloudKit and running into an issue during initial sync on a fresh device. I’m importing a small set of records, some records has images as CKAsset (with about 5 images ~3MB). Records indexes are the default ones for the Dev env. The problem is that the import process never seems to complete. However, if I delete those records that contains the assets from the iCloud Dashboard, the import finishes successfully. Has anyone experienced something similar? What approach would you recommend to handle this without implementing a custom sync layer on top of CloudKit? I am logging remote changes events (NSPersistentStoreRemoteChange): CloudKit import in progress...|2026-04-25 22:18:10| Then I see: Background Task 49 ("CoreData: CloudKit Import"), was created over 30 seconds ago. In applications running in the background, this creates a risk of termination. Remember to call UIApplication.endBackgroundTask(_:) for your task in a timely manner to avoid this. And then the import never ends. Thanks!

Is there any information available on how developers can implement the "Firmware Update Readiness" and/or "Firmware Update Status" characteristics in HomeKit? Many consumer devices support this (showing an "update available" icon), however, there appears to be nothing in the documentation about this characteristic, and it is not listed as an option in the HomeKit Accessory Simulator. Thanks in advance!

If I'm in an enumerateDirectory call, I can very quickly fill in the fileID, parentID, and (maybe) the type attributes based on the directory entry I have loaded. That is, I can quickly fill in anything that is contained in the dirent structure in dirent.h, plus the parentID. However, if any other attributes are requested (say, flags), or if the file system doesn't store the filetype in the directory entry, then I need to do additional I/O and load an inode. If I have to load an inode, I might keep a reference to it and assume that I can clean it up later whenever there is a matching call to reclaimItem. But in the enumerateDirectory call, I never provide an FSItem to the system! By observation, I see that normally, a call to enumerateDirectory of this nature is followed up by a lookupItem call for every single fetched item, and then assumedly the system can later reclaim it if need be. At least, I tried various ways of listing directories, and each way I tried showed this behavior. If that's the case, then I can rely on a later reclaimItem call telling me when to clean up this cached data from memory. Is this guaranteed, however? I don't see a mention of this in the documentation, so I'm not sure if I can rely on this. Or, do I need to handle a case where, if I do additional I/O after enumerateDirectory, I might need to figure out when cached data should be cleaned up to avoid a "leak?" (Using the term "leak" loosely here, since in theory looking up the file later would make it reclaimable, but perhaps that might not happen.)

While attempting to read a user’s daily step history spanning backward to the last 7 days, a small but consistent subset of users encounter Error Code 3 with the underlying error description: Error Code 3 "Unable to invalidate interval: no data source available."

Hi, Quick question on AlarmKit (iOS 26): is there any way to disable the vibration/haptics that play alongside the alarm sound? I'm building a gentle wake-up alarm and I'd like sound-only behavior. From what I can see, AlertConfiguration.AlertSound only lets me customize the audio (.default or .named(_:)). There doesn't seem to be a haptic-related property on AlertConfiguration or anywhere else in the alarm configuration chain. Is this a current limitation, or am I missing something? If it's a limitation, I'll file a Feedback Assistant request and post the FB number here. Thanks!

I haven’t been able to get this to work at any level! I’m running into multiple issues, any light shed on any of these would be nice: I can’t implement a bloom filter that produces the same output as can be found in the SimpleURLFilter sample project, after following the textual description of it that’s available in the documentation. No clue what my implementation is doing wrong, and because of the nature of hashing, there is no way to know. Specifically: The web is full of implementations of FNV-1a and MurmurHash3, and they all produce different hashes for the same input. Can we get the proper hashes for some sample strings, so we know which is the “correct” one? Similarly, different implementations use different encodings for the strings to hash. Which should we use here? The formulas for numberOfBits and numberOfHashes give Doubles and assign them to Ints. It seems we should do this conversing by rounding them, is this correct? Can we get a sample correct value for the combined hash, so we can verify our implementations against it? Or ignoring all of the above, can we have the actual code instead of a textual description of it? 😓 I managed to get Settings to register my first attempt at this extension in beta 1. Now, in beta 2, any other project (including the sample code) will redirect to Settings, show the Allow/Deny message box, I tap Allow, and then nothing happens. This must be a bug, right? Whenever I try to enable the only extension that Settings accepted (by setting its isEnabled to true), its status goes to .stopped and the error is, of course, .unknown. How do I debug this? While the extension is .stopped, ALL URL LOADS are blocked on the device. Is this to be expected? (shouldFailClosed is set to false) Is there any way to manually reload the bloom filter? My app ships blocklist updates with background push, so it would be wasteful to fetch the filter at a fixed interval. If so, can we opt out of the periodic fetch altogether? I initially believed the API to be near useless because I didn’t know of its “fuzzy matching” capabilities, which I’ve discovered by accident in a forum post. It’d be nice if those were documented somewhere! Thanks!!

Hi Apple team, Could you please let us know the estimated timeline for approval of our OHTTP relay request? We’d appreciate any updates on the current status or next steps from your side. My request number is GZ8425KHD9. Thanks in advance.

I'm scanning for peripherals, and keep references to multiple CBUUIDs - one for each peripheral. I then start a connection to the peripheral. I never get a callback to say the connection succeeded, failed, or disconnected. I have a Mini-Moreph Bluetooth sniffer. The sniffer shows that the iPhone never tried to connect to any of the peripherals. The iPhone HCI logs show that a create connection request was sent, but a cancel connection request was sent 0.018 seconds later. No feedback was given to my application through CoreBluetooth. I've filed this through Feedback Assistant, but expect nothing will come of the report.

Hello Apple Support Team, We are experiencing a performance issue with HTTP/3 in our iOS application during testing. Problem Description: Network requests using HTTP/3 are significantly slower than expected. This issue occurs on both Wi-Fi and 4G networks, with both IPv4 and IPv6. The same setup worked correctly in an earlier experiment. Key Observations: The slowdown disappears when the device uses: · A personal hotspot. · Network Link Conditioner (with no limitations applied). · Internet sharing from a MacBook via USB (where traffic was also inspected with Wireshark without issues). The problem is specific to HTTP/3 and does not occur with HTTP/2. The issue is reproducible on iOS 15, 18.7, and the latest iOS 26 beta. HTTP/3 is confirmed to be active (via assumeHttp3Capable and Alt-Svc header). Crucially, the same backend endpoint works with normal performance on Android devices and using curl with HTTP/3 support from the same network. I've checked the CFNetwork logs in the Console but haven't found any suspicious errors or obvious clues that explain the slowdown. We are using a standard URLSession with basic configuration. Attempted to collect qlog diagnostics by setting the QUIC_LOG_DIRECTORY=~/ tmp environment variable, but the logs were not generated. Question: What could cause HTTP/3 performance to improve only when the device is connected through a hotspot, unrestricted Network Link Conditioner, or USB-tethered connection? The fact that Android and curl work correctly points to an issue specific to the iOS network stack. Are there known conditions or policies (e.g., related to network interface handling, QoS, or specific packet processing) that could lead to this behavior? Additionally, why might the qlog environment variable fail to produce logs, and are there other ways to obtain detailed HTTP/3 diagnostic information from iOS? Any guidance on further diagnostic steps or specific system logs to examine would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your assistance.
