I want to monitor again from the bellow function of DeviceActivityMonitorExtension. I have the function of startMonitoring like this.
override func eventDidReachThreshold(_ event: DeviceActivityEvent.Name, activity: DeviceActivityName) {
super.eventDidReachThreshold(event, activity: activity)
startMonitoring()
}
public func startMonitoring() {
let startTime = DateComponents(hour: 0, minute: 0, second: 0)
let endTime = DateComponents(hour: 23, minute: 59, second: 59)//DateComponents(hour: 11, minute: 0, second: 0)//
let schedule = DeviceActivitySchedule(
intervalStart: startTime,//DateComponents(hour: 0, minute: 0, second: 0),
intervalEnd: endTime,
repeats: true
//warningTime: DateComponents(minute:1)
)
let selection: FamilyActivitySelection = savedSelection() ?? FamilyActivitySelection()
let center = DeviceActivityCenter()
let selections = self.savedSelection() ?? FamilyActivitySelection()
let applications = selections.applicationTokens
let categories = selections.categoryTokens
let webCategories = selections.webDomainTokens
let store = ManagedSettingsStore()
store.shield.applicationCategories = ShieldSettings.ActivityCategoryPolicy.specific(categories, except: Set())
store.shield.applications = applications
store.shield.webDomains = webCategories
let scheduleHard = DeviceActivitySchedule(
intervalStart: startTime,//DateComponents(hour: 0, minute: 0, second: 0),
intervalEnd: endTime,
repeats: true
//warningTime: DateComponents(minute:1)
)
let event = DeviceActivityEvent(
applications: selection.applicationTokens,
categories: selection.categoryTokens,
webDomains: selection.webDomainTokens,
threshold: DateComponents(minute: 0)//timeLimitToUseApp i.e for 15 mins
)
do {
try center.startMonitoring( .weekend,
during: scheduleHard,
events: [
.weekend: event,
]
)
print("ScreenTime Monitoring Started")
} catch let error {
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
}
Please provide us with a solution about starting monitoring from DeviceActivityMonitoringExtension's eventDidReachThreshold function or if there is any other way.
We are currently developing a wallet solution that uses the iOS EEA HCE API’s, during the testing of enabling our wallet as the system default wallet, we are being presented with an iOS system alert that states:
“Change the default contactless app? You can double-click to use cards in your default app. If Apple Wallet is not your default wallet app, you’ll need to open Wallet to use its cards, keys and tickets. Express Mode will continue to work when iphone is held near a compatible reader”
Please can you advise how we can prevent Apple Pay’s express mode from intercepting the customers preferred wallet actions including transit payments.
If this is not possible please can you provide the rationale for this not being possible given the Digital Marketing Act interoperability guidelines and EU Commitments in case AT.40452.
I am developing an app that can help users disable selected apps at a specified time, so that users can get away from their phones and enjoy real life.
Here is my data structure:
extension ActivityModel {
@NSManaged public var id: UUID
@NSManaged public var name: String
@NSManaged public var weeks: Data
@NSManaged public var weekDates: Data
@NSManaged public var appTokens: Data
}
Among them, weeks is of [Bool] type, indicating which weeks from Sunday to Saturday are effective; weekDates is of [[Date,Date]] type, indicating the effective time period; appTokens is of Set type, indicating the selected apps。
At the beginning, I will open a main monitor:
let deviceActivityCenter = DeviceActivityCenter()
do{
try deviceActivityCenter.startMonitoring(
DeviceActivityName(activityModel.id),
during: DeviceActivitySchedule(
intervalStart: DateComponents(hour: 0,minute: 0,second: 0),
intervalEnd: DateComponents(hour: 23,minute: 59,second: 59),
repeats: true
)
)
}catch {
return false
}
Since the time range may be different every day, I will start the sub-monitoring of the day every time the main monitoring starts:
override func intervalDidStart(for activity: DeviceActivityName) {
super.intervalDidStart(for: activity)
if activity.rawValue.hasPrefix("Sub-") {
ActivityModelManager.disableApps(
Tools.getUUIDFromString(activity.rawValue)
)
return
}
let weekIndex = Calendar.current.component(.weekday, from: .now)
let weeks = ActivityModelManager.getWeeks(activity.rawValue)
if weeks[weekIndex] {
let weekDates =
ActivityModelManager.getWeekDates(activity.rawValue)
let deviceActivityCenter = DeviceActivityCenter()
do{
try deviceActivityCenter.startMonitoring(
DeviceActivityName("Sub-" + activityModel.id),
during: DeviceActivitySchedule(
intervalStart: getHourAndMinute(weekDates[weekIndex][0]),
intervalEnd: getHourAndMinute(weekDates[weekIndex][1]),
repeats: false
)
)
}catch {
return
}
}esle {
return
}
}
I will judge whether it is main monitoring or sub monitoring based on the different activity names.
When the sub-monitor starts, I will get the bound application and then disable it:
static func disableApps(_ id : UUID){
let appTokens = ActivityModelManager.getLimitAppById(id)
let name = ManagedSettingsStore.Name(id.uuidString)
let store = ManagedSettingsStore(named: name)
store.shield.applications = appTokens
return
}
When the child monitoring is finished, I resume the application:
static func enableApps(_ id : UUID){
let name = ManagedSettingsStore.Name(id.uuidString)
let store = ManagedSettingsStore(named: name)
store.shield.applications = []
}
The above is my code logic.
When using DeviceActivityMonitorExtension, I found the following problems:
intervalDidStart may be called multiple times, resulting in several sub-monitors being started.
After a period of time, the monitoring is turned off.
The static methods enableApps and disableApps are sometimes not called

I have an iOS app where the universal links are not working. Basically, I have double-checked the AASA file, and it's formatted correctly. It's in the right location .well-known subdirectory. I have checked other things as well.
For my app, if the user has forgotten their password, they click on the Forgot Password option, which sends them an email, after which they click on a link; the link should open the iOS app, but is instead opening up the web browser. The format of the link matches the formatting in the AASA file. As well, I've checked associated domains as well.
Using Postman, I can see that the AASA file is accessible.
I have a feeling that the iOS app cannot fetch the AASA file, as I don't see any relevant swcd logs.
My AASA file is located at:
https://www.COMPANY_NAME.ca/.well-known/apple-app-site-association
Please advise.
I read the documentation and it told I had to prepare the product on App Store connect and once it is at the state "Ready to submit" I could access it on a phone where I am connected with an Icloud account in the developper list of the apple development account.
This is what I've done but when I try to fetch in my flutter code the product with the id I set in App Store connect it says "No product found"
Here is where I fetch the product:
Future purchaseProduct(String productId) async {
try {
Set<String> _pIds = {productId};
final ProductDetailsResponse response =
await _iap.queryProductDetails(_pIds);
if (response.productDetails.isEmpty) {
throw 'Product not found';
}
final ProductDetails productDetails = response.productDetails.first;
final PurchaseParam purchaseParam =
PurchaseParam(productDetails: productDetails);
_iap.buyConsumable(purchaseParam: purchaseParam);
} catch (e) {
Services.debugLog('Error purchasing product: $e');
throw e;
}
}
I checked the product ID and it does not seems to be the problem. Is there some other steps I need to do ?

Im having issue with OneDrive that is affected our company iPads. User are able to drag and drop any folder or files over and now they cant. they are on the latest update for OneDrive and the IOS. Can someone look at this and also i reach to Microsoft and they said that nothing have change on there end.
We had a question that came up when we comparing data from WeatherKit to other sources - WeatherKit visibility was well beyond the boundaries we had historically, even from Darksky. That raises two questions:
is visibility actually in meters like the docs say?
is this visibility at ground level, 500ft, or some other height?
We were seeing visibility numbers of up to 40 miles (after converting the number the API sent to miles), where all of our other sources are usually within 10 miles
I'm having some issues where only a subset of records appear in CloudKit dashboard after I have saved some records in my iOS app using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. I have noticed that when I'm running my app using the development environment of my CloudKit container everything works smoothly and is uploaded as expected but when I'm using the production environment only a subset of records are actually uploaded.
I'm pulling my hair on how to debug this. -com.apple.CoreData.CloudKitDebug and -com.apple.CoreData.SQLDebug pukes out too much info in the console for me to pinpoint any issue.
We have a PWA app developed by our company. In order to distribute this app to users' iPhones, we put this PWA app inside an XCode app. That means we put a WebView in XCode to display the PWA URL. Everything works perfect, except for location access.
The PWA app access the device location. When the first time the app acess location, it asks for user consent two times, by PWA app and by the XCode app. This is fine. When the user clicks Allow, the XCode app preserves the user choice and never asks again. However, the PWA app keeps on asking user permission every day. If we close the app open again, it will ask one more time. That means twice daily. But if we close and open the app for a third time, it will not ask. It remembers the user choice only for 24 hours.
If we install the PWA app directly in iPhone (that means if we add the URL as bookmark in home screen), it is asking for location permission only once. However, when we put this app inside an XCode app it is asking every day.
This affects the user experience, and as our users are not tech savvy, causing many issues. Is there a way to force the PWA app inside XCode app to remember the user choice?
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Hi Apple Developers,
I am currently working on a message filtering application and facing issues specifically with filtering RCS (Rich Communication Services) messages. To debug this, I created a sample app that consistently categorizes all incoming messages as "junk." However, the filtering behaviour is inconsistent and not functioning as expected.
Here are the key issues observed during testing on iOS versions 18.2.1 and 18.3:
Inconsistent Filtering Behavior:
When a message is received from an unknown number, it sometimes gets moved to the Junk folder momentarily but is then immediately moved back to the main Messages inbox.
In some cases, the message does not get moved to the Junk folder at all, despite the app returning the verdict as "junk."
Duplicate Contact Tiles:
The Messages app displays two separate conversation tiles for the same mobile number, which is unexpected behavior.
I have attached both a sample app and a screen recording that clearly demonstrates the issue. The recording shows that the app categorizes messages as junk, yet they still end up in the main Messages inbox.
For reference, my carrier partner is T-Mobile. Please let me know if you need any additional information to investigate this issue further.
Looking forward to your insights and guidance.
Best regards,
Rijul Singhal
Apple multi-peer with 12 devices is unstable. Dear All,
Has anyone tried Apple multi-peer with 12 devices connected? We are building an application relying on multi-peer where 12 Ipads will be updating data and each device needs to share data between. Can anyone tell me if we can use multi-peer framework for connecting 12 devices in the multi-peer network? We are facing stability problems in the connection when we connect 12 devices in the network.
I'm trying to build an app with a DeviceActivityMonitor extension that executes some code after 15 minutes. I can confirm that the extension is set up correctly and that intervalDidStart is executed, but for some reason the intervalDidEnd method never gets called. What I'm doing in both is just registering a local notification.
class DeviceActivityMonitorExtension: DeviceActivityMonitor {
let store = ManagedSettingsStore()
override func intervalDidStart(for activity: DeviceActivityName) {
createPushNotification(
title: "Session activated!",
body: ""
)
super.intervalDidStart(for: activity)
}
override func intervalDidEnd(for activity: DeviceActivityName) {
createPushNotification(
title: "Session ended",
body: ""
)
super.intervalDidEnd(for: activity)
}
private func createPushNotification(title: String, body: String) {
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.title = title
content.body = body
// Configure the recurring date.
var dateComponents = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.era, .year, .month, .day, .hour, .minute, .second], from: Date().addingTimeInterval(1.0))
dateComponents.calendar = Calendar.current
dateComponents.timeZone = TimeZone.current
// Create the trigger as a repeating event.
let trigger = UNCalendarNotificationTrigger(dateMatching: dateComponents, repeats: false)
let uuidString = UUID().uuidString
let request = UNNotificationRequest(identifier: uuidString, content: content, trigger: trigger)
// Schedule the request with the system.
let notificationCenter = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
notificationCenter.add(request)
}
}
And this is the method that is starting the monitoring session:
@objc public static func startSession() -> String? {
// Calculate start and end times
let center = DeviceActivityCenter()
let minutes = 15
let startDate = Date().addingTimeInterval(1)
guard let endDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .minute, value: minutes, to: startDate) else {
return "Failed to create end date?"
}
// Create date components and explicitly set the calendar and timeZone
let startComponents = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.era, .year, .month, .day, .hour, .minute, .second], from: startDate)
let endComponents = Calendar.current.dateComponents([.era, .year, .month, .day, .hour, .minute, .second], from: endDate)
// Create schedule
let schedule = DeviceActivitySchedule(
intervalStart: startComponents,
intervalEnd: endComponents,
repeats: false
)
print("Now", Date())
print("Start", startDate, startComponents)
print("End", endDate, endComponents)
print(schedule.nextInterval)
do {
// Use a consistent activity name for our simple implementation
let activity = DeviceActivityName("SimpleSession")
try center.startMonitoring(activity, during: schedule)
return nil
} catch {
return "Failed to start monitoring: \(error)"
}
}
I can confirm my dates & date components make sense with the 4 print statements. Here is the output:
Now 2025-02-12 04:21:32 +0000
Start 2025-02-12 04:21:33 +0000 era: 1 year: 2025 month: 2 day: 11 hour: 20 minute: 21 second: 33 isLeapMonth: false
End 2025-02-12 04:36:33 +0000 era: 1 year: 2025 month: 2 day: 11 hour: 20 minute: 36 second: 33 isLeapMonth: false
Optional(2025-02-12 04:21:33 +0000 to 2025-02-12 04:36:33 +0000)
I get the Session activated! notification but never get the Session ended notification. Half an hour later, I've tried debugging the DeviceActivityCenter by printing out the activities property and can see that it is still there. When I try to print out the nextInterval property on the schedule object i get from calling center.schedule(for:), it returns nil.
I'm running this on an iPhone 8 testing device with developer mode enabled. It has iOS 16.7.10. I'm totally lost as to how to get this to work.
I've searched all the App Intent and AssistantSchemas related documentation and I can't find anything related to workout, do I still need to use SiriKit?
We are experiencing an issue where our iOS app’s network extension (acting as a VPN) is being unexpectedly terminated by the operating system. The termination appears identical to a user-initiated stop, as the extension receives the following call: NEProviderStopReasonUserInitiated.
The issue occurs sporadically but can happen 10–20 times per day on devices with less than 10% free storage.
On one affected device, opening the Camera app (or using the camera within another app like WhatsApp) consistently triggers the issue, making it easily reproducible.
Memory consumption does not seem to be the cause—the extension is stopped while using only ~10MB of memory, well below the 50MB limit.
We noticed a pattern related to swap usage:
• On affected devices, the “Swap Used” column shows very low values (a few MB).
• On unaffected devices, swap usage is significantly higher (hundreds of MB).
• This is the only clear difference we’ve observed.
The issue occurs across different device models and iOS versions (18.2.1 and 17.6.1).
It also happens across different app builds (compiled with Xcode 15.x and Xcode 16.x).
We found a similar report on the Apple Developer Forums:
🔗 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/108149
Has anyone else encountered this behavior with Network Extensions? Could low swap usage or system resource constraints be a factor? Any suggestions for debugging or potential workarounds would be greatly appreciated.
Hello everyone,
I need help updating business information on Apple Maps for locations in Ukraine. Unfortunately, the usual methods, like "Report an Issue" in the Maps app or using Apple Business Connect, don’t seem to be working properly for Ukrainian businesses.
Many locations have outdated or missing details, which is frustrating for both business owners and customers. Given the current situation, keeping information accurate is more important than ever.
Has anyone successfully updated business listings in Ukraine recently? If so, could you share the process or any contacts that might help? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

We have developed a DNS filter extension that works for most applications, but it does not receive all DNS queries.
In particular, if we have our extension installed and enabled, we see Safari browsing cause local DNS servers to be used instead of going through our extension.
What is the logic for how DNS servers vs. extensions are chosen to resolve DNS queries?
Hello,
We are experiencing slow launch time indicators in our performance monitoring tools(Crashlytics/DataDog/Xcode), and trying to understand what is the best approach to reduce it.
Currently, cold launch takes ~900ms on iPhone 16 Pro , but
~2s on iPhone 11. Profiling app launch detected that most of the time
is spend on loading the libraries. Our app is massive, we use a
total of ~40 3rd parties libraries + 10 internal libraries. We enabled
the "mergeable libraries" XCode new feature however the app
launch is as written above.
We also postponed some of the work in didFinishLaunch, which help a bit...
But maybe we are trying to achieve the impossible?
Could it be that large apps just can't reach the golden 500ms goal?
Currently we are trying to create an "umbrella" library for
all the third parties in order to force them to become part of the
mergeable libraries. We would like to know if, are we on the right
track?
I am sending push notifications on iOS, and I can receive and display them correctly. I want to be able to dismiss notifications that have been read server-side (e.g. on a different device) so I am trying to send a custom notification payload alongside a badge counter update, that specifies what notification IDs to remove. I then use removeDeliveredNotifications on the IDs I get. However, it doesn't seem to be working. I am setting the identifier using the apns-collapse-id header and I do see that reflected on the device side. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
This is how I'm handling push notifications:
func userNotificationCenter(
_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter,
willPresent notification: UNNotification,
withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void
) {
let customPayload = notification.request.content.userInfo
if let dismissedNotifications = customPayload["dismissed_notifications"] as? [String] {
center.removeDeliveredNotifications(withIdentifiers: dismissedNotifications)
}
completionHandler([.banner, .sound, .badge])
}
I also tried doing the same thing inside
func userNotificationCenter(
_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter,
didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse,
withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping () -> Void
)
Thank you!
