Translation API & Download Language Sheet
Using Apple SwiftUI Translate library: when calling: try await session.prepareTranslation() the first time, the API's Language Download sheet does not show (or shows briefly and dismisses immediately) Even when the sheet doesn't show, the keyboard is lowered, as though the sheet would be appearing, but then the keyboard raises as though the sheet was dismissed. The following Errors are printed in the console dozens of times; but on all subsequent executions, the API Language Download sheet shows as expected. The trigger code is in a function which is executed when a Translate button is tapped. Any ideas would be welcome! Console Error on first execution only LaunchServices: store (null) or url (null) was nil: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=process may not map database, _LSLine=72, _LSFunction=_LSServer_GetServerStoreForConnectionWithCompletionHandler} Attempt to map database failed: permission was denied.

osascript System Events Failed to list Processes That Have The Same Name
I ran the following script while both VSCode and Windsurf were open. tell application "System Events" set electronProcesses to every application process whose name is "Electron" set outputText to "" repeat with p in electronProcesses set outputText to outputText & "Process: " & name of p set outputText to outputText & ", Displayed name: " & displayed name of p set outputText to outputText & ", Frontmost: " & frontmost of p & " " end repeat return outputText end tell The script incorrectly returned two Electron processes, where both were showing Windsurf as the displayed name. The output of the above script is: Process: Electron, Displayed name: Windsurf, Frontmost: false Process: Electron, Displayed name: Windsurf, Frontmost: false Separately, both Windsurf and VSCode share the same process name (Electron) but have different displayed names. This issue appears to affect how the frontmost application is detected, when using the following script: set frontApp to first application process whose frontmost is true The frontApp is incorrectly returned when switching between VSCode and Windsurf.

Apple Maps URL scheme daddr=lat,long no longer working – regression?
Hello, I'm experiencing an issue with the Apple Maps URL scheme when using raw latitude and longitude coordinates in the daddr parameter. Until recently, using a URL like this worked reliably: https://maps.apple.com/?daddr=37.7749,-122.4194 This would open Apple Maps and show directions from the current location to the specified coordinates. However, on recent iOS versions, this URL no longer behaves as expected.

Getting WIFI SSID
Greetings I'm trying to get on iPad the SSID from the wifi I'm connected to. For that, I added the wifi entitlement and I'm requesting permission to the user for Location. Once I have it, I'm using the function CNCopySupportedInterfaces to get the interfaces, but I can only receive the en0, which using the method CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo returns nil. I also tried using the NEHotspotNetwork.fetchCurrent and the SSID keeps being nil. So right now I'm drawing a blank. Is there any way to make it work? Thanks.

Request of CarPlay Navigation Entitlement when having the Driving Task one
I have the CarPlay Entitlement "Driving Task" and two of my apps use it. Now, in both apps, I have implemented Navigation. I requested the Navigation CarPlay Entitlement when the feature was mature and builds were available in Test Flight, since I wanted to release the new versions of the apps with navigation available both on the iPhone and in CarPlay. I got no answer to my request, so I decided to release the apps with only navigation in the iPhone and the Driving Task functionality in CarPlay, thinking that maybe being live with navigation in the App Store was a requirement. I have asked permission again, and so far, the request is being ignored again. What are the requirements to get the Navigation CarPlay Entitlement? If the app is approved for navigation, is there something else the app must do to get the entitlement? Requirements for CarPlay Entitlements seem quite obscure, are they listed anywhere? Is there a technical problem to move from an existing CarPlay Entitlement to another? Can that be the reason the entitlement has not been granted? Some of my competitors have the CarPlay Navigation entitlement. My use case is the same (in a better app in my opinion, of course). But I am only getting bad reviews because "the app does not include the map in CarPlay" after the big investment in implementing navigation in the apps. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

SSMenuAgent consuming lots of CPU
My load average on a largely idle system is around 22, going up to 70 or so periodically; SSMenuAgent seems to be consuming lots of CPU (and, looking at spindump, it certainly seems busy), but... it's not happening on any other system whose screens I am observing. (Er, I know about load average limitations, the process is also consuming 70-98% CPU according to both top and Activity Monitor.) Since this machine (although idle) has our network extension, I'm trying to figure out if this is due to that, or of this is generally expected. Anyone?

CarPlay Support
Hi All, We've been working on a new CarPlay-supported App and are hoping for advice on how to achieve this. We have completed the CarPlay Entitledment Request, but have not received any response from Apple. Given we're close to launch on Android, we'd love to have these projects completed together. Any advice on how to make contact with the approvals team, or suggestions on how long this will normally take? If they're no longer taking applications or rejection is high, any guidance would be greatly appreciated too!

Can't load widget with a particular bundle id on Catalyst
Please note that the widgets sub forum is a 404: https://developer.apple.com/forums/post/question?community=1394020 I have a widget that works on iOS but doesn't work on Catalyst. The widget does not appear in the list of available widgets to install. It's related to the Bundle ID for the widget. If I use a fresh bundle ID the widget loads, but if I use the one I'm currently using for iOS it doesn't appear as available to install. To confirm it's related to the bundle ID I created a fresh project in xcode and recreated the behaviour. Any help greatly appreciated.

Find My Network System
Hey everyone, how’s it going? I’d like to know if, by enrolling in Apple’s MFi program, I’ll gain access to develop my own tags and my own app to track them using Apple’s Find network. I also read that there’s an estimated cost of $4 per device—does that apply to each device produced, or only at the time of registering the device, with no fee for additional units?

LocalDictionary spelling adding words
Sorry if topic is not exact. I write Ainu in various Roman Latin scripts on English GUI Catalina ,Text Edit. The Ainu words are similar to English ex. 'an' in Ainu is 'exist' ,Ainu Language exists 'Ne Ainu itak an ',so spell checker will not red dot many words also some Ainu words look like other foreign words. I open LocalDictionary and find it blank ,so I open TextEdit and open show spelling grammar 100 words out of 200 are red dotted !the others are not learned, so I press' learn' and it skips to some words not Allan after 100 it stops ,then I go to LocalDictionary and see all those words alphabetical order ,! great ! but what about the rest ? why does select half of the words and /part/ of a phrase/ 'Itak a-e-yay-/han-nok-kar-a' = to study language by oneself.

ModelContext.model(for:) returns deleted objects
I'm writing some tests to confirm the behavior of my app. White creating a model actor to delete objects I realized that ModelContext.model(for:) does return objects that are deleted. I was able to reproduces this with this minimal test case: @Model class Activity { init() {} } struct MyLibraryTests { let modelContainer = try! ModelContainer( for: Activity.self, configurations: ModelConfiguration( isStoredInMemoryOnly: true ) ) init() throws { let context = ModelContext(modelContainer) context.insert(Activity()) try context.save() } @Test func modelForIdAfterDelete() async throws { let context = ModelContext(modelContainer) let id = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<Activity>()).first!.id context.delete(context.model(for: id) as! Activity) try context.save() let result = context.model(for: id) as? Activity #expect(result == nil) // Expectation failed: (result → MyLibrary.Activity) == nil } @Test func fetchDescriptorAfterDelete() async throws { let context = ModelContext(modelContainer) let id = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<Activity>()).first!.id context.delete(context.model(for: id) as! Activity) try context.save() let result = try context.fetch( FetchDescriptor<Activity>(predicate: #Predicate { $0.id == id }) ).first #expect(result == nil) } } Here I create a new context, insert an model and save it. The test modelForIdAfterDelete does fail, as result still contains the deleted object. I also tried to check #expect(result!.isDeleted), but it is also false. With the second test I use a FetchDescriptor to retrieve the object by ID and it correctly returns nil. Shouldn't both methods use a consistent behavior?

Detecting Notification Banners, DND, and other screen anomalies
Is there a public method to know when an APNS has appeared on the screen? wrapping up a very high end photogrammetry app, using the front facing camera and screen illumination- incoming notifications completely throw off the math. Ideally, it would be great to turn on Do Not Disturb for the short process, but we’d settle for just the detection of the notification banner. also: extra credit - programattically adjusting Auto Dimming, and True Tone would be lovely too.

After Denying Local Network Permission on iOS 18, Re-granting Doesn't Allow the App to Discover Devices Over LAN for Configuration
On an iOS 18 device, after installing the application and initially denying local network permission when prompted, manually enabling this permission in the system settings does not resolve the issue. After uninstalling and reinstalling the app, although local network access is granted, the app cannot discover smart hardware devices over the local area network (LAN) or proceed with configuration. The smart hardware sends configuration data packets over the LAN, but the app fails to receive these packets. This issue persists even after another uninstall and reinstall of the app. However, rebooting the device restores normal functionality. Steps to Reproduce: Install the application on an iOS 18 device. Upon first launch, deny the request for local network permissions. Manually enable local network permissions via "Settings" &gt; [App Name]. Uninstall and then reinstall the application. Attempt to discover and configure smart hardware devices using the app. Notice that the app fails to receive configuration data packets sent by the smart hardware over the LAN. Expected Result: The application should be able to normally receive configuration data packets from smart hardware devices over the LAN and successfully complete the configuration process after obtaining local network permissions. Actual Result: Even after being granted local network permissions, the application cannot discover devices or receive configuration data packets over the LAN unless the iPhone device is rebooted. (reinstall app and obtaining local network permissions is not work too.)

DeviceDiscoveryUI notification for iPad says iPhone?
I have been polishing an app that connects and communicates between a tvOS app I created and a iPadOS app that I also created. Connection works fantastic! However, for some reason when the user selects the button to open the DevicePicker provided by this API and then selects a iPad device the notification that comes across the the iPad reads, "Connect your Apple TV to "AppName" on this iPhone. Is this a bug or am I missing some configuration in maybe Info.plist or a modifier I need to add the DevicePicker for it to communicate the proper device identification? I have everything setup in both app Info.plist files to connect and work fine, but the notification saying iPhone on an iPad is sadly a small detail I would love to change. So...not sure if I found a bug or if I am missing something.

Matter Generic Switch not resuming subscription on reboot
I'm developing a Matter-over-thread generic switch with 2 generic switch endpoints. This is configured as an Intermittently Connected Device with Long Idle Time. I have an Apple TV serving as the thread border router. I'm able to commission the device successfully in the Home app and assign actions to each of the buttons however when the device is rebooted the subscription doesn't appear to resume successfully and the buttons no longer work. I've tested this on various SOC's with their respective SDKs including ESP32-C6, nrf52840 and EFR32MG24 and the behaviour was consistent across all of them. It was working originally when I first started out on the ESP32-C6, then the issue popped up first when I was testing the nrf52840. In that SDK I set persistent subscriptions explicitly and it seemed to resolve the issue until it popped up again when I found that unplugging and restarting the Apple TV completely which appeared to fix the issue with subscriptions not resuming. Recently I've added a Home Pod Mini Gen 2 to the matter fabric so there are now two TBR on the network and restarting both the Apple TV and the HomePod doesn't appear to resolve the issue anymore and the subscriptions are not resuming across all three SOC's on device reboot I'm wondering if there might be something preventing the subscriptions from resuming?

StoreKit.product.purchase returns success, but subscription does not appear in Settings
Description: We are developing an iOS app that offers only one auto-renewable subscription. Recently, a user who had not subscribed for over a year purchased the subscription again through our app. However, when they checked Settings > Subscriptions, the new subscription did not appear. Instead, only their past subscription history was visible, and there was no option to cancel the new subscription. We have verified this issue with a screenshot provided by the user. Additionally, we checked our app’s logs and confirmed that StoreKit.product.purchase successfully returned .success, indicating that the purchase was processed correctly. Code used for purchase: let result = try await product? .purchase(options: [ .appAccountToken(uuid) ]) switch result { case .success(let verificationResult): switch verificationResult { case .verified(let transaction): addPurchaseLog("verificationResult.verified.") case .unverified(_, let verificationError): addPurchaseLog("verificationResult.unverified.") case .userCancelled, .pending, .none: addPurchaseLog("verificationResult.userCancelled or .pending or .none") @unknown default: addPurchaseLog("verificationResult.unknown.") } Despite the successful purchase, the new subscription does not appear under the user's active subscriptions. Could this be a bug in StoreKit? If there are any known issues or workarounds, we would appreciate any guidance. Environment: Xcode: 16.2 iOS version: 16.0+

Carplay not read incoming chat message like whats app.
We have implemented Carplay in our voip based project and in this we have implemented Incoming call and chat notification feature for Carplay. For Carplay we implemented siri. Siri Object donated Successfully in Notification service Extension when notification didreceive method called. Donation Code :- func donateIncomingMessageIntent(sender: String, senderId: String, message: String, messageId: String, userInfo: [AnyHashable: Any],destination:String) { // Create proper name components clearAllinteraction() var nameComponents = PersonNameComponents() nameComponents.givenName = sender //unknown let senderPerson = INPerson( personHandle: INPersonHandle(value: senderId, type: .unknown), nameComponents: nameComponents, displayName: sender, image: nil, contactIdentifier: senderId, customIdentifier: "sender_\(senderId)" ) let recipientPerson = INPerson( personHandle: INPersonHandle(value: "me@example.com", type: .emailAddress), nameComponents: nil, displayName: "Me", image: nil, contactIdentifier: "me_id", customIdentifier: "user_id" ) let inMessage = INMessage( identifier: messageId, conversationIdentifier: "conversation_\(senderId)", content: message, dateSent: Date(), sender: senderPerson, recipients: [recipientPerson], groupName: nil, messageType: .text ) let intent = INSearchForMessagesIntent( recipients: [recipientPerson], senders: [senderPerson], searchTerms: [message], attributes: .unread, dateTime: nil, identifiers: [messageId], notificationIdentifiers: [messageId], groupNames: ["Messages"] ) let interaction = INInteraction(intent: intent, response: nil) interaction.identifier = "message_\(messageId)" interaction.direction = .incoming // Add direction DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated).async { interaction.donate { error in if let error = error { print("❌ Failed to donate INSearchForMessagesIntent: \(error.localizedDescription)") } else { print("✅ Donated INSearchForMessagesIntent successfully!") let intentData: [String: Any] = [ "senderName": sender, "senderId": senderId, "message": message, "messageId": messageId, "timestamp": Date().timeIntervalSince1970, "conversationId": "conversation_\(senderId)", // Add conversationId "destination":destination ] let defaults = UserDefaults(suiteName: "group.com.chatapp") // 🔁 Use your App Group ID defaults?.removeObject(forKey: "lastCarPlayIntentData") defaults?.set(intentData, forKey: "lastCarPlayIntentData") defaults?.synchronize() } } } } Here SenderID is like 3000@abc,2000@abc etc. In siri ,When we handle INSearchForMessagesIntent at that time all data getting from Userdefaults because without Userdefaults INSearchForMessagesIntent value nil. Even we enabled announcement using .allowAnnouncement. We also tried to save same sender in contact Book because sometime siri search contact and not found then may be raise this type of issue. So we need code level support for read incoming message in carplay when notification comes. Thank you.

Terminal Command to get the same file count as Get Info in finder
Hi All, I am looking for a terminal command to get the exact same output as the file count you recieve when using Get Info in finder. The closest i can get is using the find command with flags: find 'path/to/folder' -not -path '*/\.*' -and -not -path '*\.key/*' -and -not -path '*\.numbers/*' -and -not -path '*\.pages/*' -and -not -path '*__MACOSX/*' -and -not -path '*\.pdf/*' -and -not -path '*\.app/*' -and -not -path '*\.rtfd/*' | wc -l I will be searching on an external volume that sometimes produces keynote save files that finder sometimes sees as a package and sometimes sees as a folder. If a folder finder counts the items contained if a package it doesn't, I need the command or script to mimic this behaviour. In the example of the screenshot get info on the top folder produces a count of 14 and the find command produces a count of 23. There are also other behaviours that differ the file count between them but i'm not sure what causes them. Any help on a solution it being a command or script would be much apreciated. Thanks, James

Request of CarPlay Navigation Entitlement when having the Driving Task one
I have the CarPlay Entitlement "Driving Task" and two of my apps use it. Now, in both apps, I have implemented Navigation. I requested the Navigation CarPlay Entitlement when the feature was mature and builds were available in Test Flight, since I wanted to release the new versions of the apps with navigation available both on the iPhone and in CarPlay. I got no answer to my request, so I decided to release the apps with only navigation in the iPhone and the Driving Task functionality in CarPlay, thinking that maybe being live with navigation in the App Store was a requirement. I have asked permission again, and so far, the request is being ignored again. What are the requirements to get the Navigation CarPlay Entitlement? If the app is approved for navigation, is there something else the app must do to get the entitlement? Requirements for CarPlay Entitlements seem quite obscure, are they listed anywhere? Is there a technical problem to move from an existing CarPlay Entitlement to another? Can that be the reason the entitlement has not been granted? Some of my competitors have the CarPlay Navigation entitlement. My use case is the same (in a better app in my opinion, of course). But I am only getting bad reviews because "the app does not include the map in CarPlay" after the big investment in implementing navigation in the apps. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

SSMenuAgent consuming lots of CPU
My load average on a largely idle system is around 22, going up to 70 or so periodically; SSMenuAgent seems to be consuming lots of CPU (and, looking at spindump, it certainly seems busy), but... it's not happening on any other system whose screens I am observing. (Er, I know about load average limitations, the process is also consuming 70-98% CPU according to both top and Activity Monitor.) Since this machine (although idle) has our network extension, I'm trying to figure out if this is due to that, or of this is generally expected. Anyone?

CarPlay Support
Hi All, We've been working on a new CarPlay-supported App and are hoping for advice on how to achieve this. We have completed the CarPlay Entitledment Request, but have not received any response from Apple. Given we're close to launch on Android, we'd love to have these projects completed together. Any advice on how to make contact with the approvals team, or suggestions on how long this will normally take? If they're no longer taking applications or rejection is high, any guidance would be greatly appreciated too!

Can't load widget with a particular bundle id on Catalyst
Please note that the widgets sub forum is a 404: https://developer.apple.com/forums/post/question?community=1394020 I have a widget that works on iOS but doesn't work on Catalyst. The widget does not appear in the list of available widgets to install. It's related to the Bundle ID for the widget. If I use a fresh bundle ID the widget loads, but if I use the one I'm currently using for iOS it doesn't appear as available to install. To confirm it's related to the bundle ID I created a fresh project in xcode and recreated the behaviour. Any help greatly appreciated.

Find My Network System
Hey everyone, how’s it going? I’d like to know if, by enrolling in Apple’s MFi program, I’ll gain access to develop my own tags and my own app to track them using Apple’s Find network. I also read that there’s an estimated cost of $4 per device—does that apply to each device produced, or only at the time of registering the device, with no fee for additional units?

LocalDictionary spelling adding words
Sorry if topic is not exact. I write Ainu in various Roman Latin scripts on English GUI Catalina ,Text Edit. The Ainu words are similar to English ex. 'an' in Ainu is 'exist' ,Ainu Language exists 'Ne Ainu itak an ',so spell checker will not red dot many words also some Ainu words look like other foreign words. I open LocalDictionary and find it blank ,so I open TextEdit and open show spelling grammar 100 words out of 200 are red dotted !the others are not learned, so I press' learn' and it skips to some words not Allan after 100 it stops ,then I go to LocalDictionary and see all those words alphabetical order ,! great ! but what about the rest ? why does select half of the words and /part/ of a phrase/ 'Itak a-e-yay-/han-nok-kar-a' = to study language by oneself.

ModelContext.model(for:) returns deleted objects
I'm writing some tests to confirm the behavior of my app. White creating a model actor to delete objects I realized that ModelContext.model(for:) does return objects that are deleted. I was able to reproduces this with this minimal test case: @Model class Activity { init() {} } struct MyLibraryTests { let modelContainer = try! ModelContainer( for: Activity.self, configurations: ModelConfiguration( isStoredInMemoryOnly: true ) ) init() throws { let context = ModelContext(modelContainer) context.insert(Activity()) try context.save() } @Test func modelForIdAfterDelete() async throws { let context = ModelContext(modelContainer) let id = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<Activity>()).first!.id context.delete(context.model(for: id) as! Activity) try context.save() let result = context.model(for: id) as? Activity #expect(result == nil) // Expectation failed: (result → MyLibrary.Activity) == nil } @Test func fetchDescriptorAfterDelete() async throws { let context = ModelContext(modelContainer) let id = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<Activity>()).first!.id context.delete(context.model(for: id) as! Activity) try context.save() let result = try context.fetch( FetchDescriptor<Activity>(predicate: #Predicate { $0.id == id }) ).first #expect(result == nil) } } Here I create a new context, insert an model and save it. The test modelForIdAfterDelete does fail, as result still contains the deleted object. I also tried to check #expect(result!.isDeleted), but it is also false. With the second test I use a FetchDescriptor to retrieve the object by ID and it correctly returns nil. Shouldn't both methods use a consistent behavior?

Detecting Notification Banners, DND, and other screen anomalies
Is there a public method to know when an APNS has appeared on the screen? wrapping up a very high end photogrammetry app, using the front facing camera and screen illumination- incoming notifications completely throw off the math. Ideally, it would be great to turn on Do Not Disturb for the short process, but we’d settle for just the detection of the notification banner. also: extra credit - programattically adjusting Auto Dimming, and True Tone would be lovely too.

After Denying Local Network Permission on iOS 18, Re-granting Doesn't Allow the App to Discover Devices Over LAN for Configuration
On an iOS 18 device, after installing the application and initially denying local network permission when prompted, manually enabling this permission in the system settings does not resolve the issue. After uninstalling and reinstalling the app, although local network access is granted, the app cannot discover smart hardware devices over the local area network (LAN) or proceed with configuration. The smart hardware sends configuration data packets over the LAN, but the app fails to receive these packets. This issue persists even after another uninstall and reinstall of the app. However, rebooting the device restores normal functionality. Steps to Reproduce: Install the application on an iOS 18 device. Upon first launch, deny the request for local network permissions. Manually enable local network permissions via "Settings" &gt; [App Name]. Uninstall and then reinstall the application. Attempt to discover and configure smart hardware devices using the app. Notice that the app fails to receive configuration data packets sent by the smart hardware over the LAN. Expected Result: The application should be able to normally receive configuration data packets from smart hardware devices over the LAN and successfully complete the configuration process after obtaining local network permissions. Actual Result: Even after being granted local network permissions, the application cannot discover devices or receive configuration data packets over the LAN unless the iPhone device is rebooted. (reinstall app and obtaining local network permissions is not work too.)

DeviceDiscoveryUI notification for iPad says iPhone?
I have been polishing an app that connects and communicates between a tvOS app I created and a iPadOS app that I also created. Connection works fantastic! However, for some reason when the user selects the button to open the DevicePicker provided by this API and then selects a iPad device the notification that comes across the the iPad reads, "Connect your Apple TV to "AppName" on this iPhone. Is this a bug or am I missing some configuration in maybe Info.plist or a modifier I need to add the DevicePicker for it to communicate the proper device identification? I have everything setup in both app Info.plist files to connect and work fine, but the notification saying iPhone on an iPad is sadly a small detail I would love to change. So...not sure if I found a bug or if I am missing something.

Matter Generic Switch not resuming subscription on reboot
I'm developing a Matter-over-thread generic switch with 2 generic switch endpoints. This is configured as an Intermittently Connected Device with Long Idle Time. I have an Apple TV serving as the thread border router. I'm able to commission the device successfully in the Home app and assign actions to each of the buttons however when the device is rebooted the subscription doesn't appear to resume successfully and the buttons no longer work. I've tested this on various SOC's with their respective SDKs including ESP32-C6, nrf52840 and EFR32MG24 and the behaviour was consistent across all of them. It was working originally when I first started out on the ESP32-C6, then the issue popped up first when I was testing the nrf52840. In that SDK I set persistent subscriptions explicitly and it seemed to resolve the issue until it popped up again when I found that unplugging and restarting the Apple TV completely which appeared to fix the issue with subscriptions not resuming. Recently I've added a Home Pod Mini Gen 2 to the matter fabric so there are now two TBR on the network and restarting both the Apple TV and the HomePod doesn't appear to resolve the issue anymore and the subscriptions are not resuming across all three SOC's on device reboot I'm wondering if there might be something preventing the subscriptions from resuming?

StoreKit.product.purchase returns success, but subscription does not appear in Settings
Description: We are developing an iOS app that offers only one auto-renewable subscription. Recently, a user who had not subscribed for over a year purchased the subscription again through our app. However, when they checked Settings > Subscriptions, the new subscription did not appear. Instead, only their past subscription history was visible, and there was no option to cancel the new subscription. We have verified this issue with a screenshot provided by the user. Additionally, we checked our app’s logs and confirmed that StoreKit.product.purchase successfully returned .success, indicating that the purchase was processed correctly. Code used for purchase: let result = try await product? .purchase(options: [ .appAccountToken(uuid) ]) switch result { case .success(let verificationResult): switch verificationResult { case .verified(let transaction): addPurchaseLog("verificationResult.verified.") case .unverified(_, let verificationError): addPurchaseLog("verificationResult.unverified.") case .userCancelled, .pending, .none: addPurchaseLog("verificationResult.userCancelled or .pending or .none") @unknown default: addPurchaseLog("verificationResult.unknown.") } Despite the successful purchase, the new subscription does not appear under the user's active subscriptions. Could this be a bug in StoreKit? If there are any known issues or workarounds, we would appreciate any guidance. Environment: Xcode: 16.2 iOS version: 16.0+

Carplay not read incoming chat message like whats app.
We have implemented Carplay in our voip based project and in this we have implemented Incoming call and chat notification feature for Carplay. For Carplay we implemented siri. Siri Object donated Successfully in Notification service Extension when notification didreceive method called. Donation Code :- func donateIncomingMessageIntent(sender: String, senderId: String, message: String, messageId: String, userInfo: [AnyHashable: Any],destination:String) { // Create proper name components clearAllinteraction() var nameComponents = PersonNameComponents() nameComponents.givenName = sender //unknown let senderPerson = INPerson( personHandle: INPersonHandle(value: senderId, type: .unknown), nameComponents: nameComponents, displayName: sender, image: nil, contactIdentifier: senderId, customIdentifier: "sender_\(senderId)" ) let recipientPerson = INPerson( personHandle: INPersonHandle(value: "me@example.com", type: .emailAddress), nameComponents: nil, displayName: "Me", image: nil, contactIdentifier: "me_id", customIdentifier: "user_id" ) let inMessage = INMessage( identifier: messageId, conversationIdentifier: "conversation_\(senderId)", content: message, dateSent: Date(), sender: senderPerson, recipients: [recipientPerson], groupName: nil, messageType: .text ) let intent = INSearchForMessagesIntent( recipients: [recipientPerson], senders: [senderPerson], searchTerms: [message], attributes: .unread, dateTime: nil, identifiers: [messageId], notificationIdentifiers: [messageId], groupNames: ["Messages"] ) let interaction = INInteraction(intent: intent, response: nil) interaction.identifier = "message_\(messageId)" interaction.direction = .incoming // Add direction DispatchQueue.global(qos: .userInitiated).async { interaction.donate { error in if let error = error { print("❌ Failed to donate INSearchForMessagesIntent: \(error.localizedDescription)") } else { print("✅ Donated INSearchForMessagesIntent successfully!") let intentData: [String: Any] = [ "senderName": sender, "senderId": senderId, "message": message, "messageId": messageId, "timestamp": Date().timeIntervalSince1970, "conversationId": "conversation_\(senderId)", // Add conversationId "destination":destination ] let defaults = UserDefaults(suiteName: "group.com.chatapp") // 🔁 Use your App Group ID defaults?.removeObject(forKey: "lastCarPlayIntentData") defaults?.set(intentData, forKey: "lastCarPlayIntentData") defaults?.synchronize() } } } } Here SenderID is like 3000@abc,2000@abc etc. In siri ,When we handle INSearchForMessagesIntent at that time all data getting from Userdefaults because without Userdefaults INSearchForMessagesIntent value nil. Even we enabled announcement using .allowAnnouncement. We also tried to save same sender in contact Book because sometime siri search contact and not found then may be raise this type of issue. So we need code level support for read incoming message in carplay when notification comes. Thank you.

Terminal Command to get the same file count as Get Info in finder
Hi All, I am looking for a terminal command to get the exact same output as the file count you recieve when using Get Info in finder. The closest i can get is using the find command with flags: find 'path/to/folder' -not -path '*/\.*' -and -not -path '*\.key/*' -and -not -path '*\.numbers/*' -and -not -path '*\.pages/*' -and -not -path '*__MACOSX/*' -and -not -path '*\.pdf/*' -and -not -path '*\.app/*' -and -not -path '*\.rtfd/*' | wc -l I will be searching on an external volume that sometimes produces keynote save files that finder sometimes sees as a package and sometimes sees as a folder. If a folder finder counts the items contained if a package it doesn't, I need the command or script to mimic this behaviour. In the example of the screenshot get info on the top folder produces a count of 14 and the find command produces a count of 23. There are also other behaviours that differ the file count between them but i'm not sure what causes them. Any help on a solution it being a command or script would be much apreciated. Thanks, James
