Xcode 26 Causing StoreKit Fiasco for macOS?
I submitted my last macOS application with IAP on Oct. 23rd, 2025. I was able to test-purchase a non-consumable product with the StoreKit configuration file at that time. These days, every time I test a new macOS application with the configuration file, a purchase process fails. The thing is they all now fail if I test the store with existing applications that were once working. Xcode shows the following debugging error. Purchase failed with error: systemError(Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service created from an endpoint was invalidated from this process." UserInfo={AMSDescription=An unknown error occurred. Please try again., AMSURL=http://localhost:53272/WebObjects/MZBuy.woa/wa/inAppBuy, NSDebugDescription=The connection to service created from an endpoint was invalidated from this process., AMSStatusCode=200, AMSServerPayload={ All my iOS apps don't exhibit the same problem. This StoreKit fiasco only happens for macOS applications. And I'm thinking that it all started to occur after I began using Xcode 26. Not a single line of code has changed. But the applications that were once able to process IAP all now fail. And I'm suspecting that it's Xcode 26 that is responsible for this failure. My Xcode version is 26.2, by the way. Any macOS application developer experiencing the same problem?

iOS: Issues getting beginBackgroundTaskWithName working reliably
We have tried using background tasks for file saving via (UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier) beginBackgroundTaskWithName:(NSString *) taskName expirationHandler:(void (^)(void)) handler; when our app goes into the background and/or is closed by the user. But we cannot make it work the way the documentation tells us it should. While task creation never reports an issue (in fact it never calls our expiration handler at all) and the returned task id is always valid, when we ask for how much time we have left via backgroundTimeRemaining we always get 6s instead of the specified 30s. We tried to create the task when the app state goes to inactive or when our delegate is called via applicationDidEnterBackground but it makes no difference, besides the fact that the remaining time reported is basically max double, when the app is not in background yet which is by design as far we understand. But we don't even get the 6s for saving when a user closes the app. Because almost immediately after applicationDidEnterBackground our delegate is called via applicationWillTerminate which will then again almost immediately end in the app receiving a SIGKILL. So we must be doing something wrong. Why would applicationWillTerminate be called at all when we have a valid background task that reports we have 6s left? We tried blocking the thread in both background and terminate to at least give us the 5s the spec says we have before we get the SIGKILL. That works in general but doesn't feel like the correct approach and we do need more time than the 5s or 6s we get this way. Are we supposed to add something to our plist in order for these background tasks to work correctly? It is very confusing that there is a second mechanism that's also called background tasks for running apps in the background in general, which is not applicable to us. Are we supposed to block somewhere when we create the task? Or even spin up an extra thread for the task? Why is our expirationHandler never called? The spec says that our handler should be called if it was unable to "grant the ask assertion" so it seems like we do not have that problem. But it's also supposed to be called just before we are running out of time but by that time the app is already dead. This was all tested on iOS 26.3 and it is probably worth mentioning that our app is Qt-based.

Wi-Fi Aware using QUIC
Hi We are modifying the official Wi‑Fi Aware sample app to integrate QUIC for transmission speed testing. Unfortunately, we have been unable to establish a successful QUIC connection between two iOS devices. Could you provide a correct implementation example of using QUIC over Wi‑Fi Aware? I have attached the iOS system logs and our modified app project for your reference in case FB22499984 . Thanks

watchOS VoIP App: Incoming Calls?
Hello! I’m building a VoIP app for iPhone and Apple Watch using PushKit and CallKit. I’m trying to understand the recommended watchOS architecture for this kind of setup. What we would like is for the watch to behave as an endpoint for incoming calls, so that when a call comes in the user can answer on either the iPhone or the watch. My understanding is that VoIP notifications are not supported on watchOS, so for incoming calls what we ended up having to do was send the watch a regular APNs alert notification and only start the actual call setup after the user interacts with it. This isn’t ideal, and the notification often appears a few seconds late. What we would like to be able to do is present the incoming call on the watch more like how FaceTime calls appear on Apple Watch. So I wanted to ask whether this is the intended pattern for a companion watchOS VoIP app. Is using a regular APNs alert notification the correct way to surface an incoming call on the watch, or is there a better supported approach? Thanks!

vCard (.vcf) import on iOS not preserving PHOTO and X-SOCIALPROFILE — expected behavior?
I’m running an experiment around generating and importing .vcf files on iOS and wanted to sanity check expected behavior with others who may have explored this deeper. Goal Programmatically generate a vCard (v3.0) that, when imported into iOS Contacts, includes: Standard fields (name, phone, email, organization, etc.) Contact photo (PHOTO) Social profile (e.g., LinkedIn via X-SOCIALPROFILE) What I tested I tried to eliminate formatting issues by using iOS itself as the source of truth. Steps: Created a new contact directly in iOS Contacts Added name, phone, email Added a contact photo Added a social profile (LinkedIn) Exported that contact as a .vcf Deleted the contact from the device Re-imported the exported .vcf Result Core fields (name, phone, email, etc.) are restored correctly Contact photo is NOT restored Social profile is NOT restored as a native social entry This happens even though: The exported .vcf clearly contains a PHOTO field The exported .vcf includes X-SOCIALPROFILE;type=linkedin:... Additional testing I also generated my own .vcf files that closely mirror the structure produced by iOS (field order, encoding, etc.), and observed the same behavior: Photo does not reliably import Social profiles do not appear as native social entries in Contacts Question Is this expected behavior on iOS? More specifically: Are PHOTO fields intentionally ignored (or restricted) during .vcf import? Is X-SOCIALPROFILE supported for import, or only used internally/exported by Contacts? Is there any supported way to programmatically create a contact with: a photo social profile entries via .vcf import? Current understanding Based on testing, it appears that: iOS may export more data than it will accept on import Some fields (like social profiles and possibly photos) may only be fully supported when created via native APIs (e.g., Contacts framework) rather than .vcf Would appreciate confirmation or any documentation pointers if this is known behavior or if there are recommended alternatives. Closing thought If this is by design, it would be helpful to know which vCard fields are officially supported for import vs. export on iOS, since the current behavior is not entirely symmetric.

NEProxySettings.matchDomains = [""] — supported catch-all when no IP routes are claimed?
We are building a VPN using NEPacketTunnelProvider where the intent is to route HTTP/S traffic through a local proxy server, while non-HTTP/S traffic flows directly to the network without being tunnelled at the IP layer. The configuration claims no included IP routes — it relies entirely on NEProxySettings to intercept HTTP/S traffic via the URL loading layer. private func configureIPSettings(_ settings: NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings) { settings.ipv4Settings = NEIPv4Settings( addresses: ["192.168.1.1"], subnetMasks: ["255.255.255.255"] ) // No includedRoutes set — no IP traffic enters the tunnel } private func configureProxySettings(_ settings: NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings) { let proxySettings = NEProxySettings() proxySettings.httpEnabled = true proxySettings.httpServer = NEProxyServer(address: "127.0.0.1", port: 9000) proxySettings.httpsEnabled = true proxySettings.httpsServer = NEProxyServer(address: "127.0.0.1", port: 9000) proxySettings.matchDomains = [""] settings.proxySettings = proxySettings } When matchDomains is nil or not set, HTTP/S traffic does not reach the local proxy in this configuration. Setting matchDomains = [""] makes it work correctly. The matchDomains documentation states: "If the destination host name of a HTTP connection shares a suffix with one of these strings then the proxy settings will be used." An empty string is a suffix of every string, so [""] matching all hostnames follows from that definition. But this isn't explicitly documented. Questions: Is matchDomains = [""] a supported and stable way to apply proxy settings to all HTTP/S traffic when no IP routes are claimed, or is this an unintended side-effect? Why does matchDomains = nil not apply the proxy globally in this configuration? The documentation doesn't describe its behaviour relative to IP routing. NEDNSSettings.matchDomains explicitly documents an empty string as matching all domains — is the same semantics intended for NEProxySettings.matchDomains?

Apple IAP issues
I am having constant issues with the IAP on my app. I have now, after several review rejections, created a brand new non-consumable in-app purchase product and updated the submitted build to use the new product identifier. We also updated the paywall so it no longer loops and instead shows fallback messaging plus manual retry/restore options when pricing is unavailable. However, in TestFlight and sandbox testing, StoreKit is still not returning the product details, so no localized price is available to display. This suggests the in-app purchase is not being returned by Apple’s review/sandbox environment rather than a client-side UI issue. Has anyone else had this issue and of so how did they resolve this?

Live Activity Silent Rendering Failure- Any Way to Detect Crash / Failure State?
Hi Apple Team, We are facing an issue with Live Activities where the UI intermittently fails to render and shows a loader or blank state. After extensive debugging, we’ve identified that the failure happens during the rendering phase inside the system process (WidgetKit / liveactivitiesd), but there are no actionable signals exposed to the app. Problem: Live Activity launches successfully After a few updates or under certain UI conditions, it: stops rendering shows a loader / blank UI sometimes disappears No crash logs are generated No MetricKit diagnostics available for the extension Console logs show: Invalid frame dimension (negative or non-finite) Archive was nil. LiveActivity will be empty Sometimes because of memory pressure too The extension process appears to terminate silently Challenge Currently, there is no way to detect from the app side that: the Live Activity has failed to render the extension process has crashed/terminated the UI is no longer being updated Questions Is there any callback, delegate, or lifecycle hook that notifies when: a Live Activity rendering fails the extension process crashes or is terminated by the system? Is there any recommended way to detect a “broken” Live Activity state (e.g., stuck loader / non-updating UI)? Are there any diagnostic APIs or logs we can rely on in production to identify such failures? Is this considered expected behavior under certain system constraints (e.g., memory/rendering limits), and if so, are there guidelines to proactively detect or mitigate it? Goal We want to: proactively detect Live Activity failure log it for monitoring optionally fallback or recover gracefully Additional context: We fixed all the issues and the live activity is pretty stable. But asking for methods to track & fix such cases.

What is the optimal number of records per shard?
Hello, I am currently developing a PIR server using the pir-server-example repository. We are anticipating a total of 10 million URLs for our dataset. In this context, what would be the optimal shard size (number of records per shard) to balance computational latency and communication overhead? Any advice or best practices for handling a dataset of this scale would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Flutter iOS Project: WidgetKit Extension Not Embedding / Build Cycle Error
Hi, I need your opinion about an issue we faced while trying to implement an iOS widget in our Flutter app. Here is what we did and the problems we encountered: We created a Widget Extension (SwiftUI + WidgetKit) inside the existing Flutter iOS project. The widget files were generated correctly (Widget.swift, WidgetBundle.swift, Info.plist, etc.). However, during the integration, we faced multiple issues: Build Cycle Error We repeatedly got: “Cycle inside Runner; building could produce unreliable results” This was related to embedding the widget extension into the Runner target. Embed Problems Sometimes Xcode did not automatically create the “Embed App Extensions” phase. When we added it manually → build cycle errors appeared. When we removed it → the widget was not embedded at all (no PlugIns folder in Runner.app). Duplicate / Conflicting Embed The extension appeared both in: “Embed Foundation Extensions” “Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content” Removing one often broke the build or removed the other as well. Widget Not Appearing Even when build succeeded: Widget did not appear on device PlugIns/Widget.appex was missing from build output Flutter Linking Errors In another test project, we got: Undefined symbol: _FlutterMethodChannel Undefined symbol: _FlutterBasicMessageChannel etc. This happened because the widget extension tried to link Flutter dependencies, which should not happen. App Group Confusion We also tried adding App Group (group.com.xxx), but behavior didn’t change. Conclusion: We suspect the root issue is: The Flutter template we are using was not designed for WidgetKit integration Xcode embedding phases and Flutter build scripts conflict with extension targets Question: In your opinion: Is this a known limitation with Flutter-based iOS projects? Is there a clean way to integrate WidgetKit without breaking the Runner target? Or is it better to create a separate native iOS module for the widget? Any guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Widget layout issue: Unexpected padding/content inset on specific widget types
Hello everyone, I am currently developing a suite of widgets for my iOS app using SwiftUI and WidgetKit. While the initial widgets (let's call them Widget A, B, and C) render perfectly, I am encountering a strange layout issue with a new widget (Widget D). The Issue: On the Home Screen, Widget D appears to have an unwanted internal padding or "squeezed" content inset, even though it shares a similar structural implementation with the other functional widgets. Technical Details: I am using .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) on the main container to ensure the content fills the available space.

SensorKit phone call/text message question
Hi, we have several clarification questions on how SensorKit collect phone call/text message data: when people use non-native apps, e.g. WhatsApp, to make calls or messages, will they be picked up as phone call or text message by SensorKit, or will they only be counted as app usage? When people react to a message by long-press the message and thumb-up/heart it, will it be counted as one outgoing message or not? If the incoming call is not picked up, will it be counted as one phone call or not? When people text within a group, will the unique number of contacts be 1 or the number of members in the group? Thanks! Yu

macOS DNS Proxy system extension makes device stop processing MDM commands until reboot
Hi, I see an interaction issue between a DNS Proxy system extension and MDM on macOS: after some time the device stops processing MDM commands until reboot, while DNS filtering continues to work. Environment: macOS: 15.x / 26.x (reproduced on multiple minor versions) App: /Applications/MyMacProxy.app System extension: NEDNSProxyProvider as system extension Bundle id: com.company.agent.MyMacProxy.dnsProxy Deployment: MDM (SimpleMDM) DNS proxy config via com.apple.dnsProxy.managed Devices: supervised Macs Steps to reproduce: Enrol Mac into MDM. Install MyMacProxy app + DNS proxy system extension via pkg and apply com.apple.dnsProxy.managed profile. DNS proxy starts, DNS is filtered correctly, user network works normally. After some hours, try to manage the device from MDM: push a new configuration profile, remove an existing profile, or install / remove an app. 5.MDM server shows commands as pending / not completed. On the Mac, DNS is still filtered via our DNS proxy, and general network access (Safari etc.) continues to work. After reboot, pending MDM commands are processed and we can remove the app, profile and system extension normally. This is reproducible on our test machines. What I see on the Mac in the “stuck” state apsd is running: sudo launchctl print system/com.apple.apsd # job state = running com.apple.mdmclient.daemon exists as a job but is not running: sudo launchctl print system/com.apple.mdmclient.daemon Abbreviated output: system/com.apple.mdmclient.daemon = { ... state = not running job state = exited runs = 5 last exit code = 0 ... } So the MDM client daemon has exited cleanly (exit code 0) and is currently not running; its APS endpoints are configured. Our DNS proxy system extension is still processing flows: we see continuous logging from our NEDNSProxyProvider, and DNS filtering is clearly active (requests go through our upstream). systemextensionsctl list still shows our DNS proxy system extension as active. From the user’s perspective, everything works (with filtered DNS). From the MDM server’s perspective, commands stay pending until the next reboot. After reboot, MDM behaviour is normal again. Uninstall / cleanup (current approach, simplified) We currently use an MDM‑delivered shell script that: disables our DNS proxy configuration for the console user by editing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkextension.plist and setting Enabled = false for our DNSProxyConfigurations entries; flushes DNS cache and restarts mDNSResponder; unloads our LaunchDaemon / LaunchAgent for the host app; kills the system extension process using pgrep -f "com.company.agent.MyMacProxy.dnsProxy" | xargs kill -9; removes the extension binary from /Library/SystemExtensions/.../com.company.agent.MyMacProxy.dnsProxy.systemextension; removes /Applications/MyMacProxy.app and related support files. We currently do not call systemextensionsctl uninstall <TEAMID> com.company.agent.MyMacProxy.dnsProxy from MDM, mainly because of SIP and because we understand that fully silent system extension uninstall is constrained. The MDM responsiveness issue, however, can appear even if we don’t run this aggressive uninstall script and just let the extension run for some hours. Questions Is it expected that a DNS Proxy system extension (managed via com.apple.dnsProxy.managed) can leave a device in a state where: apsd is running, com.apple.mdmclient.daemon is not running (last exit code 0), DNS proxy continues to filter traffic, but MDM commands remain pending until reboot? Are there known best practices or pitfalls when combining: DNS Proxy system extensions (NEDNSProxyProvider), MDM‑distributed com.apple.dnsProxy.managed profiles, and MDM app / profile management on recent macOS versions? For uninstall in an MDM environment, what pattern do you recommend? For example, is it better to: disable / remove the DNS proxy profile, stop the NE configuration via NEDNSProxyManager from the app, avoid killing the system extension or removing files from /Library/SystemExtensions immediately, and instead require a reboot for full removal? I can provide a sysdiagnose and unified logs (including nesessionmanager, mdmclient and our logs) from an affected machine if that would be helpful.

AdServices token API returns attribution: true for reinstalls without ad interaction
Hi Apple Support, We're reaching out to clarify what appears to be unexpected behavior in the AdServices token attribution API, specifically around reinstall attribution for apps with high reinstall rates. The problem For an app with a high reinstall rate, our ASA install counts are significantly higher than what the Apple Ads dashboard reports. Total install counts across all sources match closely — the discrepancy is specifically in ASA-attributed installs. What we tested To investigate, we ran a controlled experiment: Installed an app by tapping an Apple Search Ads ad. Deleted the app. Reinstalled the app approximately 15 minutes later directly from the App Store, without tapping any ad. Fetched a new AdServices token and exchanged it with Apple's attribution API. The API returned attribution: true with the original campaign details (same campaignId, adGroupId, keywordId) and conversionType: Download. The reinstall was attributed to the ASA campaign even though the user did not interact with any ad before the second install. Question about documentation The Apple Ads help page defines a tap-through Redownload as: "A redownload is when a user downloads your app, deletes it, then downloads it again on the same device or a different one following an ad tap." Could you clarify: does "following an ad tap" mean the redownload must be directly triggered by a tap on an ad? Or does it mean any redownload that occurs within the 30-day attribution window of a prior ad tap? Question about intended token API behavior Is the AdServices token API intended to return attribution: true for installs where the user did not tap an ad before that specific install, but had interacted with an ad within the past 30 days? In other words, is the token API designed to attribute all installs within the 30-day window regardless of whether the current install was ad-driven, or should it only attribute installs that were directly preceded by an ad interaction? We would appreciate any clarification on the intended behavior, as this directly impacts how we reconcile install counts between the AdServices API and the Apple Ads dashboard. Thank you for your time.

I requested "DirverKit UserClient Access" Entitlement, But I Distribute App failed.
I requested "DirverKit UserClient Access" Entitlement, But I Distribute App failed. I don't know the reason. I think when I request "DirverKit UserClient Access" I make a mistake. I fill in two Bundle ids in the "Request a System Extension or DriverKit Entitlement" form's "UserClient Bundle IDs" item. The reason is when I Add "DirverKit UserClient Access" Capability in the project of Xcode. The .entitlements file is like this: <string>com.turing.TuringTouch com.turing.TuringTouch.TouchDriver</string> But in "Signing" of Xcode's "Bundle Identifier" can fill in only on "Identifier" therefore they do not match. So I can't Distribute App. I reapply "DirverKit UserClient Access" Entitlement. But decline. The result is "decline". Please help me. Please tell me, how should can I do now? Thank you very much.

Xcode 26 Causing StoreKit Fiasco for macOS?
I submitted my last macOS application with IAP on Oct. 23rd, 2025. I was able to test-purchase a non-consumable product with the StoreKit configuration file at that time. These days, every time I test a new macOS application with the configuration file, a purchase process fails. The thing is they all now fail if I test the store with existing applications that were once working. Xcode shows the following debugging error. Purchase failed with error: systemError(Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service created from an endpoint was invalidated from this process." UserInfo={AMSDescription=An unknown error occurred. Please try again., AMSURL=http://localhost:53272/WebObjects/MZBuy.woa/wa/inAppBuy, NSDebugDescription=The connection to service created from an endpoint was invalidated from this process., AMSStatusCode=200, AMSServerPayload={ All my iOS apps don't exhibit the same problem. This StoreKit fiasco only happens for macOS applications. And I'm thinking that it all started to occur after I began using Xcode 26. Not a single line of code has changed. But the applications that were once able to process IAP all now fail. And I'm suspecting that it's Xcode 26 that is responsible for this failure. My Xcode version is 26.2, by the way. Any macOS application developer experiencing the same problem?

iOS: Issues getting beginBackgroundTaskWithName working reliably
We have tried using background tasks for file saving via (UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier) beginBackgroundTaskWithName:(NSString *) taskName expirationHandler:(void (^)(void)) handler; when our app goes into the background and/or is closed by the user. But we cannot make it work the way the documentation tells us it should. While task creation never reports an issue (in fact it never calls our expiration handler at all) and the returned task id is always valid, when we ask for how much time we have left via backgroundTimeRemaining we always get 6s instead of the specified 30s. We tried to create the task when the app state goes to inactive or when our delegate is called via applicationDidEnterBackground but it makes no difference, besides the fact that the remaining time reported is basically max double, when the app is not in background yet which is by design as far we understand. But we don't even get the 6s for saving when a user closes the app. Because almost immediately after applicationDidEnterBackground our delegate is called via applicationWillTerminate which will then again almost immediately end in the app receiving a SIGKILL. So we must be doing something wrong. Why would applicationWillTerminate be called at all when we have a valid background task that reports we have 6s left? We tried blocking the thread in both background and terminate to at least give us the 5s the spec says we have before we get the SIGKILL. That works in general but doesn't feel like the correct approach and we do need more time than the 5s or 6s we get this way. Are we supposed to add something to our plist in order for these background tasks to work correctly? It is very confusing that there is a second mechanism that's also called background tasks for running apps in the background in general, which is not applicable to us. Are we supposed to block somewhere when we create the task? Or even spin up an extra thread for the task? Why is our expirationHandler never called? The spec says that our handler should be called if it was unable to "grant the ask assertion" so it seems like we do not have that problem. But it's also supposed to be called just before we are running out of time but by that time the app is already dead. This was all tested on iOS 26.3 and it is probably worth mentioning that our app is Qt-based.

Wi-Fi Aware using QUIC
Hi We are modifying the official Wi‑Fi Aware sample app to integrate QUIC for transmission speed testing. Unfortunately, we have been unable to establish a successful QUIC connection between two iOS devices. Could you provide a correct implementation example of using QUIC over Wi‑Fi Aware? I have attached the iOS system logs and our modified app project for your reference in case FB22499984 . Thanks

watchOS VoIP App: Incoming Calls?
Hello! I’m building a VoIP app for iPhone and Apple Watch using PushKit and CallKit. I’m trying to understand the recommended watchOS architecture for this kind of setup. What we would like is for the watch to behave as an endpoint for incoming calls, so that when a call comes in the user can answer on either the iPhone or the watch. My understanding is that VoIP notifications are not supported on watchOS, so for incoming calls what we ended up having to do was send the watch a regular APNs alert notification and only start the actual call setup after the user interacts with it. This isn’t ideal, and the notification often appears a few seconds late. What we would like to be able to do is present the incoming call on the watch more like how FaceTime calls appear on Apple Watch. So I wanted to ask whether this is the intended pattern for a companion watchOS VoIP app. Is using a regular APNs alert notification the correct way to surface an incoming call on the watch, or is there a better supported approach? Thanks!

vCard (.vcf) import on iOS not preserving PHOTO and X-SOCIALPROFILE — expected behavior?
I’m running an experiment around generating and importing .vcf files on iOS and wanted to sanity check expected behavior with others who may have explored this deeper. Goal Programmatically generate a vCard (v3.0) that, when imported into iOS Contacts, includes: Standard fields (name, phone, email, organization, etc.) Contact photo (PHOTO) Social profile (e.g., LinkedIn via X-SOCIALPROFILE) What I tested I tried to eliminate formatting issues by using iOS itself as the source of truth. Steps: Created a new contact directly in iOS Contacts Added name, phone, email Added a contact photo Added a social profile (LinkedIn) Exported that contact as a .vcf Deleted the contact from the device Re-imported the exported .vcf Result Core fields (name, phone, email, etc.) are restored correctly Contact photo is NOT restored Social profile is NOT restored as a native social entry This happens even though: The exported .vcf clearly contains a PHOTO field The exported .vcf includes X-SOCIALPROFILE;type=linkedin:... Additional testing I also generated my own .vcf files that closely mirror the structure produced by iOS (field order, encoding, etc.), and observed the same behavior: Photo does not reliably import Social profiles do not appear as native social entries in Contacts Question Is this expected behavior on iOS? More specifically: Are PHOTO fields intentionally ignored (or restricted) during .vcf import? Is X-SOCIALPROFILE supported for import, or only used internally/exported by Contacts? Is there any supported way to programmatically create a contact with: a photo social profile entries via .vcf import? Current understanding Based on testing, it appears that: iOS may export more data than it will accept on import Some fields (like social profiles and possibly photos) may only be fully supported when created via native APIs (e.g., Contacts framework) rather than .vcf Would appreciate confirmation or any documentation pointers if this is known behavior or if there are recommended alternatives. Closing thought If this is by design, it would be helpful to know which vCard fields are officially supported for import vs. export on iOS, since the current behavior is not entirely symmetric.

Detect hardware keyboard with SwiftUI
In an application we are developing, we would like to show a (non-interactable) textfield when a hardware keyboard is connected to the iPad. Therefore my question: Using SwiftUI, is it possible to detect the presence of a hardware keyboard and store that state inside a boolean like isHardwareKeyboardConnected?

NEProxySettings.matchDomains = [""] — supported catch-all when no IP routes are claimed?
We are building a VPN using NEPacketTunnelProvider where the intent is to route HTTP/S traffic through a local proxy server, while non-HTTP/S traffic flows directly to the network without being tunnelled at the IP layer. The configuration claims no included IP routes — it relies entirely on NEProxySettings to intercept HTTP/S traffic via the URL loading layer. private func configureIPSettings(_ settings: NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings) { settings.ipv4Settings = NEIPv4Settings( addresses: ["192.168.1.1"], subnetMasks: ["255.255.255.255"] ) // No includedRoutes set — no IP traffic enters the tunnel } private func configureProxySettings(_ settings: NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings) { let proxySettings = NEProxySettings() proxySettings.httpEnabled = true proxySettings.httpServer = NEProxyServer(address: "127.0.0.1", port: 9000) proxySettings.httpsEnabled = true proxySettings.httpsServer = NEProxyServer(address: "127.0.0.1", port: 9000) proxySettings.matchDomains = [""] settings.proxySettings = proxySettings } When matchDomains is nil or not set, HTTP/S traffic does not reach the local proxy in this configuration. Setting matchDomains = [""] makes it work correctly. The matchDomains documentation states: "If the destination host name of a HTTP connection shares a suffix with one of these strings then the proxy settings will be used." An empty string is a suffix of every string, so [""] matching all hostnames follows from that definition. But this isn't explicitly documented. Questions: Is matchDomains = [""] a supported and stable way to apply proxy settings to all HTTP/S traffic when no IP routes are claimed, or is this an unintended side-effect? Why does matchDomains = nil not apply the proxy globally in this configuration? The documentation doesn't describe its behaviour relative to IP routing. NEDNSSettings.matchDomains explicitly documents an empty string as matching all domains — is the same semantics intended for NEProxySettings.matchDomains?

Apple IAP issues
I am having constant issues with the IAP on my app. I have now, after several review rejections, created a brand new non-consumable in-app purchase product and updated the submitted build to use the new product identifier. We also updated the paywall so it no longer loops and instead shows fallback messaging plus manual retry/restore options when pricing is unavailable. However, in TestFlight and sandbox testing, StoreKit is still not returning the product details, so no localized price is available to display. This suggests the in-app purchase is not being returned by Apple’s review/sandbox environment rather than a client-side UI issue. Has anyone else had this issue and of so how did they resolve this?

Live Activity Silent Rendering Failure- Any Way to Detect Crash / Failure State?
Hi Apple Team, We are facing an issue with Live Activities where the UI intermittently fails to render and shows a loader or blank state. After extensive debugging, we’ve identified that the failure happens during the rendering phase inside the system process (WidgetKit / liveactivitiesd), but there are no actionable signals exposed to the app. Problem: Live Activity launches successfully After a few updates or under certain UI conditions, it: stops rendering shows a loader / blank UI sometimes disappears No crash logs are generated No MetricKit diagnostics available for the extension Console logs show: Invalid frame dimension (negative or non-finite) Archive was nil. LiveActivity will be empty Sometimes because of memory pressure too The extension process appears to terminate silently Challenge Currently, there is no way to detect from the app side that: the Live Activity has failed to render the extension process has crashed/terminated the UI is no longer being updated Questions Is there any callback, delegate, or lifecycle hook that notifies when: a Live Activity rendering fails the extension process crashes or is terminated by the system? Is there any recommended way to detect a “broken” Live Activity state (e.g., stuck loader / non-updating UI)? Are there any diagnostic APIs or logs we can rely on in production to identify such failures? Is this considered expected behavior under certain system constraints (e.g., memory/rendering limits), and if so, are there guidelines to proactively detect or mitigate it? Goal We want to: proactively detect Live Activity failure log it for monitoring optionally fallback or recover gracefully Additional context: We fixed all the issues and the live activity is pretty stable. But asking for methods to track & fix such cases.

What is the optimal number of records per shard?
Hello, I am currently developing a PIR server using the pir-server-example repository. We are anticipating a total of 10 million URLs for our dataset. In this context, what would be the optimal shard size (number of records per shard) to balance computational latency and communication overhead? Any advice or best practices for handling a dataset of this scale would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Flutter iOS Project: WidgetKit Extension Not Embedding / Build Cycle Error
Hi, I need your opinion about an issue we faced while trying to implement an iOS widget in our Flutter app. Here is what we did and the problems we encountered: We created a Widget Extension (SwiftUI + WidgetKit) inside the existing Flutter iOS project. The widget files were generated correctly (Widget.swift, WidgetBundle.swift, Info.plist, etc.). However, during the integration, we faced multiple issues: Build Cycle Error We repeatedly got: “Cycle inside Runner; building could produce unreliable results” This was related to embedding the widget extension into the Runner target. Embed Problems Sometimes Xcode did not automatically create the “Embed App Extensions” phase. When we added it manually → build cycle errors appeared. When we removed it → the widget was not embedded at all (no PlugIns folder in Runner.app). Duplicate / Conflicting Embed The extension appeared both in: “Embed Foundation Extensions” “Frameworks, Libraries, and Embedded Content” Removing one often broke the build or removed the other as well. Widget Not Appearing Even when build succeeded: Widget did not appear on device PlugIns/Widget.appex was missing from build output Flutter Linking Errors In another test project, we got: Undefined symbol: _FlutterMethodChannel Undefined symbol: _FlutterBasicMessageChannel etc. This happened because the widget extension tried to link Flutter dependencies, which should not happen. App Group Confusion We also tried adding App Group (group.com.xxx), but behavior didn’t change. Conclusion: We suspect the root issue is: The Flutter template we are using was not designed for WidgetKit integration Xcode embedding phases and Flutter build scripts conflict with extension targets Question: In your opinion: Is this a known limitation with Flutter-based iOS projects? Is there a clean way to integrate WidgetKit without breaking the Runner target? Or is it better to create a separate native iOS module for the widget? Any guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks!

Widget layout issue: Unexpected padding/content inset on specific widget types
Hello everyone, I am currently developing a suite of widgets for my iOS app using SwiftUI and WidgetKit. While the initial widgets (let's call them Widget A, B, and C) render perfectly, I am encountering a strange layout issue with a new widget (Widget D). The Issue: On the Home Screen, Widget D appears to have an unwanted internal padding or "squeezed" content inset, even though it shares a similar structural implementation with the other functional widgets. Technical Details: I am using .frame(maxWidth: .infinity, maxHeight: .infinity) on the main container to ensure the content fills the available space.

SensorKit phone call/text message question
Hi, we have several clarification questions on how SensorKit collect phone call/text message data: when people use non-native apps, e.g. WhatsApp, to make calls or messages, will they be picked up as phone call or text message by SensorKit, or will they only be counted as app usage? When people react to a message by long-press the message and thumb-up/heart it, will it be counted as one outgoing message or not? If the incoming call is not picked up, will it be counted as one phone call or not? When people text within a group, will the unique number of contacts be 1 or the number of members in the group? Thanks! Yu

macOS DNS Proxy system extension makes device stop processing MDM commands until reboot
Hi, I see an interaction issue between a DNS Proxy system extension and MDM on macOS: after some time the device stops processing MDM commands until reboot, while DNS filtering continues to work. Environment: macOS: 15.x / 26.x (reproduced on multiple minor versions) App: /Applications/MyMacProxy.app System extension: NEDNSProxyProvider as system extension Bundle id: com.company.agent.MyMacProxy.dnsProxy Deployment: MDM (SimpleMDM) DNS proxy config via com.apple.dnsProxy.managed Devices: supervised Macs Steps to reproduce: Enrol Mac into MDM. Install MyMacProxy app + DNS proxy system extension via pkg and apply com.apple.dnsProxy.managed profile. DNS proxy starts, DNS is filtered correctly, user network works normally. After some hours, try to manage the device from MDM: push a new configuration profile, remove an existing profile, or install / remove an app. 5.MDM server shows commands as pending / not completed. On the Mac, DNS is still filtered via our DNS proxy, and general network access (Safari etc.) continues to work. After reboot, pending MDM commands are processed and we can remove the app, profile and system extension normally. This is reproducible on our test machines. What I see on the Mac in the “stuck” state apsd is running: sudo launchctl print system/com.apple.apsd # job state = running com.apple.mdmclient.daemon exists as a job but is not running: sudo launchctl print system/com.apple.mdmclient.daemon Abbreviated output: system/com.apple.mdmclient.daemon = { ... state = not running job state = exited runs = 5 last exit code = 0 ... } So the MDM client daemon has exited cleanly (exit code 0) and is currently not running; its APS endpoints are configured. Our DNS proxy system extension is still processing flows: we see continuous logging from our NEDNSProxyProvider, and DNS filtering is clearly active (requests go through our upstream). systemextensionsctl list still shows our DNS proxy system extension as active. From the user’s perspective, everything works (with filtered DNS). From the MDM server’s perspective, commands stay pending until the next reboot. After reboot, MDM behaviour is normal again. Uninstall / cleanup (current approach, simplified) We currently use an MDM‑delivered shell script that: disables our DNS proxy configuration for the console user by editing ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkextension.plist and setting Enabled = false for our DNSProxyConfigurations entries; flushes DNS cache and restarts mDNSResponder; unloads our LaunchDaemon / LaunchAgent for the host app; kills the system extension process using pgrep -f "com.company.agent.MyMacProxy.dnsProxy" | xargs kill -9; removes the extension binary from /Library/SystemExtensions/.../com.company.agent.MyMacProxy.dnsProxy.systemextension; removes /Applications/MyMacProxy.app and related support files. We currently do not call systemextensionsctl uninstall <TEAMID> com.company.agent.MyMacProxy.dnsProxy from MDM, mainly because of SIP and because we understand that fully silent system extension uninstall is constrained. The MDM responsiveness issue, however, can appear even if we don’t run this aggressive uninstall script and just let the extension run for some hours. Questions Is it expected that a DNS Proxy system extension (managed via com.apple.dnsProxy.managed) can leave a device in a state where: apsd is running, com.apple.mdmclient.daemon is not running (last exit code 0), DNS proxy continues to filter traffic, but MDM commands remain pending until reboot? Are there known best practices or pitfalls when combining: DNS Proxy system extensions (NEDNSProxyProvider), MDM‑distributed com.apple.dnsProxy.managed profiles, and MDM app / profile management on recent macOS versions? For uninstall in an MDM environment, what pattern do you recommend? For example, is it better to: disable / remove the DNS proxy profile, stop the NE configuration via NEDNSProxyManager from the app, avoid killing the system extension or removing files from /Library/SystemExtensions immediately, and instead require a reboot for full removal? I can provide a sysdiagnose and unified logs (including nesessionmanager, mdmclient and our logs) from an affected machine if that would be helpful.

AdServices token API returns attribution: true for reinstalls without ad interaction
Hi Apple Support, We're reaching out to clarify what appears to be unexpected behavior in the AdServices token attribution API, specifically around reinstall attribution for apps with high reinstall rates. The problem For an app with a high reinstall rate, our ASA install counts are significantly higher than what the Apple Ads dashboard reports. Total install counts across all sources match closely — the discrepancy is specifically in ASA-attributed installs. What we tested To investigate, we ran a controlled experiment: Installed an app by tapping an Apple Search Ads ad. Deleted the app. Reinstalled the app approximately 15 minutes later directly from the App Store, without tapping any ad. Fetched a new AdServices token and exchanged it with Apple's attribution API. The API returned attribution: true with the original campaign details (same campaignId, adGroupId, keywordId) and conversionType: Download. The reinstall was attributed to the ASA campaign even though the user did not interact with any ad before the second install. Question about documentation The Apple Ads help page defines a tap-through Redownload as: "A redownload is when a user downloads your app, deletes it, then downloads it again on the same device or a different one following an ad tap." Could you clarify: does "following an ad tap" mean the redownload must be directly triggered by a tap on an ad? Or does it mean any redownload that occurs within the 30-day attribution window of a prior ad tap? Question about intended token API behavior Is the AdServices token API intended to return attribution: true for installs where the user did not tap an ad before that specific install, but had interacted with an ad within the past 30 days? In other words, is the token API designed to attribute all installs within the 30-day window regardless of whether the current install was ad-driven, or should it only attribute installs that were directly preceded by an ad interaction? We would appreciate any clarification on the intended behavior, as this directly impacts how we reconcile install counts between the AdServices API and the Apple Ads dashboard. Thank you for your time.

I requested "DirverKit UserClient Access" Entitlement, But I Distribute App failed.
I requested "DirverKit UserClient Access" Entitlement, But I Distribute App failed. I don't know the reason. I think when I request "DirverKit UserClient Access" I make a mistake. I fill in two Bundle ids in the "Request a System Extension or DriverKit Entitlement" form's "UserClient Bundle IDs" item. The reason is when I Add "DirverKit UserClient Access" Capability in the project of Xcode. The .entitlements file is like this: <string>com.turing.TuringTouch com.turing.TuringTouch.TouchDriver</string> But in "Signing" of Xcode's "Bundle Identifier" can fill in only on "Identifier" therefore they do not match. So I can't Distribute App. I reapply "DirverKit UserClient Access" Entitlement. But decline. The result is "decline". Please help me. Please tell me, how should can I do now? Thank you very much.
