Present specific screen for configured default contactless app after double tap on side button in the iPhone ?
I have implemented the functionality to open my app when double-tapping the side button on an iPhone. However, whenever I double-tap the side button, my app always opens on the login screen. Instead of this default behavior, I want my app to navigate directly to a specific view when launched through the side button action. I am using SwiftUI and have already integrated HCE (Host Card Emulation) entitlements and also configured with contactless payment. How can I achieve this behaviour so that my app opens a specific screen instead of always showing the login page? Any guidance on handling this within SwiftUI would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

NSUserActivity in application(_:continue:restorationHandler:) not recognized as INStartCallIntent
Hello, experts! I'm working on a VOIP application that handles audio calls and integrates with CallKit. The problem occurs when attempting to redial a previously made audio call from the system's call history. When I try to handle the NSUserActivity in the application(_:continue:restorationHandler:) method, it intercepts the INStartAudioCallIntent instead of the expected INStartCallIntent. Background Deprecation Warnings: I'm encountering deprecation warnings when using INStartAudioCallIntent and INStartVideoCallIntent: 'INStartAudioCallIntent' was deprecated in iOS 13.0: INStartAudioCallIntent is deprecated. Please adopt INStartCallIntent instead. 'INStartVideoCallIntent' was deprecated in iOS 13.0: INStartVideoCallIntent is deprecated. Please adopt INStartCallIntent instead. As a result, I need to migrate to INStartCallIntent instead, but the issue is that when trying to redial a call from the system’s call history, INStartAudioCallIntent is still being triggered. Working with Deprecated Intents: If I use INStartAudioCallIntent or INStartVideoCallIntent, everything works as expected, but I want to adopt INStartCallIntent to align with the current iOS recommendations. Configuration: CXProvider Configuration: The CXProvider is configured as follows: let configuration = CXProviderConfiguration() configuration.supportsVideo = true configuration.maximumCallsPerCallGroup = 1 configuration.maximumCallGroups = 1 configuration.supportedHandleTypes = [.generic] configuration.iconTemplateImageData = UIImage(asset: .callKitLogo)?.pngData() let provider = CXProvider(configuration: configuration) Outgoing Call Handle: When making an outgoing call, the CXHandle is created like this: let handle = CXHandle(type: .generic, value: callId) Info.plist Configuration: In the info.plist, the following key is defined: <key>NSUserActivityTypes</key> <array> <string>INStartCallIntent</string> </array> Problem: When trying to redial the audio call from the system's call history, the NSUserActivity received in the application(_:continue:restorationHandler:) method is an instance of INStartAudioCallIntent instead of INStartCallIntent. This happens even though INStartCallIntent is listed in NSUserActivityTypes in the info.plist and I want to migrate to the newer intent as recommended in iOS 13+. Device: iPhone 13 mini iOS version 17.6.1

Difficulties with Get Contents of URL
I’ve created several shortcuts that tell me the stock price of a given company. The shortcut queries Yahoo Finance using Get Contents of URL, with the URL https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TICKER SYMBOL/, for example https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PLTR/ for Palantir or https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/ for Apple, etc. Then it uses RegEx to parse out the numbers which it then formats and displays in a notification. Simple. It works great for several stocks, but for some reason, it does not work correctly for Palantir. It shows an older “previous close” price. Oddly, when I go to the website myself, it shows me the current stock price. So for today Mar 21 https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PLTR/ shows me $90.96 (correct) but the shortcut, via Get Contents of URL, shows $87.39 (incorrect). This $87.39 price is listed further down in the page as a "previous close” price. I don’t get it. Here is a link to my Palantir shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/edea6ee0261245f49b078efc74d632dd Here is a link to my Apple shortcut: https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/54a416393203432aa356fe76373e3f8b So the question is, why does Get Contents of URL show an old stock price but when I go to the site myself, it shows the correct stock price … and only for Palantir? I have about six shortcuts running correctly. Palantir is the only one that does not work. Been banging my head on this one for weeks. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you, Rob

App Intents doesn't works in widgets
I’m trying to develop a widget with a button that triggers an app intent. I integrated the app intent into my app within a separate app framework. I tested it with Shortcuts and Siri, and it works well—it opens the app on the required screen. However, when I added a button Button(intent: MyIntent()) to my widget, it doesn’t work at all. The only clue I found is the following message in the Xcode debug console: “No ConnectionContext found for (some big integer)” when I tap on the widget's button. However, I see the same message when running it through the Shortcuts app, and in that case, it works fine. Does anyone know what might be causing this issue? My Intent: public struct OpenTextInputIntent: AppIntent { public static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Open text input" public static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = true @Parameter(title: "Predefined text") public var predefinedText: String @Dependency private var appCoordinator: AppCoordinatorProtocol public init() { } public func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { appCoordinator.openAddMessage(predefinedText: predefinedText) return .result() } } My widget's view: struct SimpleWidgetView : View { var entry: SimpleWidgetTimelineProvider.Entry var body: some View { ZStack(alignment: .leadingTop) { button } } private var button: some View { Button(intent: OpenTextInputIntent()) { Image(systemName: "mic.fill") .resizable() .aspectRatio(contentMode: .fit) .iconFrame() } .buttonStyle(PlainButtonStyle()) .foregroundStyle(Color.white) .padding(10) .background(Circle().fill(Color.accent)) } } Intents Registration in the app target: struct MyAppPackage: AppIntentsPackage { static var includedPackages: [any AppIntentsPackage.Type] { [FrameworkIntentsPackage.self] } } struct MyAppShortcutsProvider: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: OpenTextInputIntent(), phrases: ["Add message in \(.applicationName)"], shortTitle: "Message input", systemImageName: "pencil.circle.fill" ) } } What I'm missing?

Unable to sign in to Sandbox Apple Account on Simulator
I am unable to sign in to a Sandbox Apple Account, where this issue occurs only via Simulator. Under Settings > Developer, I tap "Sign In" under Sandbox Apple Account. I enter my account credentials, and after bringing me back to the Developer page, the Sign In button briefly appears as disabled, before being re-enabled, without signing in to the account. (The account credentials are also recognized as correct, as I will receive an alert popup if incorrect.) See screenshots below: After signing in, Sign In button appears disabled... ... then is re-enabled without actually signing in to the account. I have now tried setting up multiple sandbox accounts via App Store Connect with various permutations (no confirmation of Apple Account email, confirming Apple Account email, logging in to iCloud and accepting terms of service), running different device simulators, running simulators on different Mac computers... none of which yield a different result. By contrast, I can sign in to the Sandbox Apple Account without issue on a physical device. The problem occurs only via Simulator.

Communicating between app & ui test runner
I'd like to set up a communication mechanism between the Ui test runner and my iOS app. The purpose is to be able to collect some custom performance metrics in addition to standard ones like scrollingAndDecelerationMetric. Let's say we measure some specific intervals in our code using signposts, then serialize the result into a structured payload and report it back to the runner. So, are there any good options for that kind of IPC? The primary concern is running on Simulator. However, since it is not a regular UI test but more a performance UI test, and it is usually recommended to run those on a real device, with release optimizations/flags in place, I wonder if it is feasible to have it for device too.

Auto Renew Subscription Model
Hi, I want to offer an auto-renewable subscription (e.g., $1/month) that grants users (10 document analyses per month), with the count resetting at the start of each billing cycle. -Unused analyses will not roll over to the next month- Additionally, any analyses generated while the subscription is active will remain accessible to the user permanently, even if they cancel the subscription. The paywall, app description, and metadata will clearly state that the subscription grants (10 document analyses per month with no rollover) We want this to be implemented as an auto-renewable subscription model, not as a consumable service or a token/credit system (which we want to avoid). Is this model acceptable under Apple’s guidelines, or would it be considered a token/credit system? Any insights or alternative suggestions would be appreciated.. Thanks

Start multiple Live Activities in the perform() of App Intents
In my case, when two functions that start each Live Activity(not connected each other) are performed in LiveActivityIntent's perform(), it seems that only one will start. (It's the same to start independently with two Task{}) And, set one to 'opensIntent' and separate it by opening another LiveActivityIntent, the result is same. Also, every time I tap the Intent directly in the shortcut app, one activity will end within a matter of seconds, even if there are two for a while. But, If openAppWhenRun to true, it seem to works without any problems. I would appreciate it if you could give me a tip to fix this problem.

CardSession error handling with respond method
Hello, in the sample code found in the Apple CardSession documentation, there are commented line in the APDU respond method: case .received(let cardAPDU): do { /// Call handler to process received input and produce a response. let responseAPDU = ProcessAPDU(cardAPDU.payload) try await cardAPDU.respond(response: responseAPDU) } catch { /// Handle the error from respond(response:). If the error is /// CardSession.Error.transmissionError, then retry by calling /// CardSession.APDU.respond(response:) again. } in the catch part, it says that we should handle the error from respond and retry in case of transmission error, how can we achieve that ? How can we check the error ? Could you give a sample code for that ? best regards

Does apple make commission on payments made to peers using external processing like Stripe for physical services
So I'm wondering if Apple makes commission on those payments since they're made in the app. For example a user may pay another user to clean their car. This will be handled with Stripe Connect and their balance, payment history, etc will be displayed in the app. Does Apple charge commission on that? The section the app review guidelines that I'm refrencing is below, but I'm still a little confused. 3.1.3(e) Goods and Services Outside of the App: If your app enables people to purchase physical goods or services that will be consumed outside of the app, you must use purchase methods other than in-app purchase to collect those payments, such as Apple Pay or traditional credit card entry.

My MacOS swift app refuses to close (When running on Monterrey, The app becomes unresponsive after it finishes all its work, and needs to be forcefully closed)
My MacOS swift app [myStuckApp5] refuses to close when running on Monterrey (The app becomes unresponsive after finishing its work, and needs to be forcefully closed). However, it closes as expected when running MacOS 13 and above. How can I troubleshoot this error? I'm attaching the content of the sys Log related to the app while it was stuck (too long to copy here...) This is the content of the related sys Log

Technical Inquiry about CoreBluetooth Scanning
Issue: We noticed inconsistent BLE device discovery times (ranging from 0.5s to 1.5s) despite the peripheral advertising at 2Hz (500ms interval). Questions: Does iOS regulate the BLE scan interval or duty cycle internally? If yes, what factors affect this behavior (e.g., foreground/background state, connected devices)? Are there recommended practices to reduce discovery latency for peripherals with fixed advertising intervals? Is there a way to configure scan parameters (e.g., scan window/interval) programmatically, similar to Android's BluetoothLeScanner? Test Context: Device: iPhone 13 mini (iOS 17.6.1) Code: CBCentralManager.scanForPeripherals(withServices: nil, options: [CBCentralManagerScanOptionAllowDuplicatesKey: true])

What are the criteria for CLVisit in CoreLocation?
There is no official documentation specifying the exact criteria for determining a CLVisit. For example, if a user starts at a target location, will the following method be called? func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didVisit visit: CLVisit) This did not work during my testing. It was only successfully triggered when starting from a distant location and arriving at the target point. It would be helpful to know the exact conditions, such as how long a user must stay at a location for it to be considered a visit. Are there any specific thresholds (e.g., minimum duration, distance moved) that determine when this method is triggered?

how can i get the LiveCommunicationKit events
i have codes looks like: import UIKit import LiveCommunicationKit @available(iOS 17.4, *) class LiveCallKit: NSObject, ConversationManagerDelegate { @available(iOS 17.4, *) func conversationManager(_ manager: ConversationManager, conversationChanged conversation: Conversation) { } @available(iOS 17.4, *) func conversationManagerDidBegin(_ manager: ConversationManager) { } @available(iOS 17.4, *) func conversationManagerDidReset(_ manager: ConversationManager) { } @available(iOS 17.4, *) func conversationManager(_ manager: ConversationManager, perform action: ConversationAction) { } @available(iOS 17.4, *) func conversationManager(_ manager: ConversationManager, timedOutPerforming action: ConversationAction) { } @available(iOS 17.4, *) func conversationManager(_ manager: ConversationManager, didActivate audioSession: AVAudioSession) { } @available(iOS 17.4, *) func conversationManager(_ manager: ConversationManager, didDeactivate audioSession: AVAudioSession) { } @objc public enum InterfaceKind : Int, Sendable, Codable, Hashable { /// 拒绝/挂断 case reject /// 接听. case answer } var sessoin: ConversationManager var callId: UUID var completionHandler: ((_ actionType: InterfaceKind,_ payload: [AnyHashable : Any]) -> Void)? var payload: [AnyHashable : Any]? @objc init(icon: UIImage!) { let data:Data = icon.pngData()!; let cfg: ConversationManager.Configuration = ConversationManager.Configuration(ringtoneName: "ring.mp3", iconTemplateImageData: data, maximumConversationGroups: 1, maximumConversationsPerConversationGroup: 1, includesConversationInRecents: false, supportsVideo: false, supportedHandleTypes: Set([Handle.Kind.generic])) self.sessoin = ConversationManager(configuration: cfg) self.callId = UUID() super.init() self.sessoin.delegate = self } @objc func toIncoming(_ payload: [AnyHashable : Any], displayName: String,actBlock: @escaping(_ actionType: InterfaceKind,_ payload: [AnyHashable : Any])->Void) async { self.completionHandler = actBlock do { self.payload = payload self.callId = UUID() var update = Conversation.Update(members: [Handle(type: .generic, value: displayName, displayName: displayName)]) let actNumber = Handle(type: .generic, value: displayName, displayName: displayName) update.activeRemoteMembers = Set([actNumber]) update.localMember = Handle(type: .generic, value: displayName, displayName: displayName); update.capabilities = [ .playingTones ]; try await self.sessoin.reportNewIncomingConversation(uuid: self.callId, update: update) try await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 2000000000); } catch { } } } i want to listen the button event,but i can't find the solutions!please give me a code demo

Filtering MMS Messages with Multimedia Content (Images, Videos, etc.)
Hi Apple Developer, I’m working on a message-filtering application and reviewing Apple's documentation on message filtering. The documentation clearly states that MMS messages can be filtered. (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/identitylookup/sms-and-mms-message-filtering) When we refer to MMS, it includes images, short videos, and other supported multimedia formats. However, the ILMessageFilterQueryRequest only provides the message body as a String, meaning we can access text and links but not images or other media files. Could you please confirm whether Apple allows third-party applications to access multimedia content sent from unknown numbers? Looking forward to your quick response. Thanks, Rijul Singhal
