Apple announces a Japanese game (Assassin's Creed) in Japanese in Japan but then states "the App is currently not available in your country or region"... that is, Japan! https://developer.apple.com/jp/news/?id=q2zte70j Game is unavailable so why announce it?

I have the following questions that need official answers: 1: Whether the Bluetooth scanning cycle can be controlled through the software level. If it can be controlled, please tell me how to control it. 2: Now the IOS mobile phone scanning strategy, how long is the scanning cycle, and what is the scanning duty cycle in this scanning cycle

I updated my Apple Watch Series 6 before Apple withdrew beta 11.4 as an option. I see on forums that I am not alone with this issue. Many series 6 watches are now stuck in a boot loop. I hope Apple can resolve the issue for those of us that pushed the update to our watches before the issue was identified. Support were unable to assist.

Hello Devs, I wanted to bring this up to display the frustration that I have obtaining the CarPlay entitlements. First and foremost they don't give you a set timeline and there is no contact number to speak to someone about this. When you call developer support they go on and say it is a different department. There is an email but all I have received is an automated response back to me. Has anyone received the navigation entitlements and if so what was the timeline of you receiving it?

I submitted my ID for review over a week ago, and it's still the same, I can't log in App Store Connect? How long have you been waiting? Have a nice day.

i am running iOS 18.5 beta 3 (iPhone 16 pro max) and my phone will not connect wirelessly to any of my vehicles. When connected via the apple certified usb-c cord, it will connect just fine. I have removed all vehicles from my phone, then removed my phone from both vehicle, reconnected, and it still will not connect wirelessly.

Will the iOS 18.5 update fix bugs from 18.4.1 for iPhone 16 Pro users?

When changing the app's alternate icon using UIApplication.setAlternateIconName(_:completionHandler:), the icon is updated correctly on the Home Screen and App Switcher. However, in Notification Center, the old app icon is still shown for notifications, even after the change has completed. Rebooting or change the device's language causes the correct icon to appear. This issue only occurs on iOS 18.1 and later. In iOS 18.0 and earlier, Notification Center correctly reflects the updated icon. Could you provide insights into how iOS caches notification icons and how we can force a refresh for all users?

Hey everyone! I’m currently working on my Swift Student Challenge app and exploring ways to enhance its visuals. I was wondering—does anyone know if images generated by Apple Intelligence Image Playground can be used in the app?

i am seeing a call icon on CallKit incoming call screen for a PushKit-initiated call (without caller information like name or number)

On my first attempt at adding iCloud to my existing app this is how far I've gotten. For reasons that I won't go into, the use case for my app does not need coordination. I have successfully made my app write a file to the Documents directory of iCloud and read back that same file without errors. In testing on a real iPhone 13 and iPhone 7 I have verified that my app can write a file to iCloud from the iPhone 7 and then read back that same file on the iPhone 13, so I know that the file truly exists in the cloud. But when I make my app on the iPhone 13 write to iCloud, my app on the iPhone 7 says the file does not exist. Exactly the same build of my app is running in both phones. This is problem #1. Problem #2 is that none of these files appear in the iCloud section of the Files app on either of these Phones, nor do they appear in the iCloud section of my Mac. All devices are signed in to my same Apple account in iCloud. Also my info.plist file in the app contains: <key>NSUbiquitousContainers</key> <dict> <dict> <key>iCloud.com.{my domain}.{my app}</key> <dict> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerIsDocumentScopePublic</key> <true/> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerSupportedFolderLevels</key> <string>Any</string> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerName</key> <string>{my app}</string> </dict> </dict> </dict> <key>UIFileSharingEnabled</key><true/> The iPhone 7 is running iOS 15.8.4 and the iPhone 13 is running iOS 18.3.2. The code that does the writing to iCloud is: NSFileManager *fman = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; NSURL *urlDrive = [fman URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier: nil]; NSURL *urlDocs = [urlDrive URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"]; if(urlDocs.path == nil) { NSLog(@"NULL path"); return; //..big problem } if( ! [fman fileExistsAtPath: urlDocs.path] ) { //..need to create the Docs directory NSError *err00 = nil; @try { [fman createDirectoryAtURL: urlDocs withIntermediateDirectories:true attributes:nil error:&err00]; NSLog(@"created the directory"); } @catch (NSException *except) { NSLog(@"Exception creating directory %@", except); } } //..directory is now created NSLog(@"url=%@", urlDocs); NSURL *urlFile = [urlDocs URLByAppendingPathComponent:txtfname()]; NSData *fdata = [@"Hello world" dataUsingEncoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding]; NSLog(@"file url=%@", urlFile); NSLog(@"file Data=%@", fdata); NSError *errorReturn = nil; Boolean ret = [fdata writeToURL: urlFile options: NSDataWritingAtomic error: &errorReturn]; NSLog(@"returned %1d, error=%@", ret?1:0, errorReturn); And the code that does the reading is: NSFileManager *fman = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; NSURL *urlDrive = [fman URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier: nil]; NSURL *urlDocs = [urlDrive URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"]; NSLog(@"url=%@", urlDocs); if(urlDocs.path == nil) { NSLog(@"urlDocs.path is NULL!"); return; //..big problem } if( ! [fman fileExistsAtPath: urlDocs.path] ) { //..need to create the Docs directory NSLog(@"It seems the urlDocs folder does not exist"); } NSURL *urlFile = [urlDocs URLByAppendingPathComponent:txtfname()]; if([fman fileExistsAtPath: urlFile.path]) { NSLog(@"file %@ exists", urlFile); [fman copyItemAtURL: urlFile toURL:<#(nonnull NSURL *)#> error:<#(NSError *__autoreleasing _Nullable * _Nullable)#>]; } else { NSLog(@"file %@ DOES NOT EXIST!", urlFile); }

Is anyone else having trouble posting to the forums? I can't get past form validation.

Hi everyone, It’s been almost three weeks, and I’m still waiting for a reply about my subscription to the Apple Developer Program, but I haven’t received anything. I replied to the email three days ago and got no response. I tried again by requesting the subscription two days ago, but all I received was an automated message saying they would reply within two business days. What I did: I went to my Apple Developer account, clicked on Subscriptions, and entered my card details. They sent me an email saying they are preparing my order, but nothing else. Has anyone else had the same issue with Apple Developer support? Regards,

Hi, I've been trying to debug an issue with my extension. I am able to register the extension on install of my app, can select it under Phone> SMS/Call Reporting. When I touch Report it brings up my view controller, with the sender and message details. I set let response = ILClassificationResponse(action: .reportJunk) I've added debug logs throughout my extension and everything looks good. Now when MobileSMS takes over, I see: default 23:15:09.837024-0400 MobileSMS response: extension: error 23:15:09.837328-0400 MobileSMS error reporting SMS response: default 23:15:09.837387-0400 MobileSMS Finished, invoking didCompleteClassificationRequest info 23:15:09.837487-0400 MobileSMS didCompleteClassificationRequest -- di I don't see what the error is, and that last log entry is cut off at "di". I've confirmed my info.plist, allowed domains, aasa, and my remote API is not touched. Any advice? Xcode 16.3 Testing on iPhone 16e iOS 18.4.1

I'm running into issues with iOS respecting the HTTP 410 "Gone" response type. Setup: Using the native iOS Calendar app, add a new subscription calendar. "Add Subscription Calendar" Add the URL of a ICS calendar subscription that you control, e.g. https://mywebsite.com/userfeeds/23/cal.ics Make sure to select the "Account" option and choose "On My iPhone/iPad". Set the query amount to 15 mins. Calendar events show as expected, device queries the latest updates from the server every 15 minutes. Server returns HTTP 200 with the .ics contents. Now, assume there is a need for the feed to end - maybe the user unsubscribed to mywebsite.com. There is currently no way for the mywebsite.com server / response to tell the device the feed has ended and it should stop requesting. If the user forgets to go to calendar and manually unsubscribe the device will continually ping the server every 15 minutes indefinitely. It's turning into a virtual DoS for my platform. iOS should respect the HTTP 410 "Gone" header or something similar. If the server returns a HTTP 410 response code for https://mywebsite.com/userfeeds/23/cal.ics X amount of times, the feed should be automatically removed. I've opened several tickets over the last 3 years and have not even had a status change on the tickets. Does anyone know how to resolve this or a work around?

I'm totally baffled by the changes Apple made on iOS18 about certificates usage in the built-in mail application. They decided that self-signed are not accepted any more, fine. As long as you can install your own root CA and trust it, it should be fine. But NO! They have also decided that mail will only accept IMAP servers using a domain name, no more just and IP address. So you can't get any IP-based certificate that will be accepted by the mail app, even with the right SAN and al. I've tried two "identical" certs, one with a domain and one with an IP and the domain works while the IP fails, being rejected as non-valid by the app. The most funny part is that the IP cert is good enough to configure mail (can see the successful login), but is being rejected when reading emails. I'm really fed up with the "Apple police" that wants to push us not using our own storage anymore. My se case is simple, I have an IMAP server that is used by family to archive all emails and keep them organized, saved forever and away from being scanned. I need to access that server either when locally connected or through VPN. For VPN, I use split tunnels because I don't want all traffic to go to tunnel. Nor do I want to create my own local DNS server and have all VPN clients use such DNS server only for the sake of having a domain name for the IMAP server. Nor do I want to open an external port to redirect to my IMAP server (that works of course as then I can use DDNS ...). Talk about increased security! This is insane

I’ve recently updated to ios 18.4.1 and I have problems with the internet. Things download painfully slow, an application that used to download in 10 seconds is now downloading in 2 minutes. Videos tend to stop at some point and when i fast forward them it stops to load a little when on the previous version it would work fine. It feels like my internet aged 30 years in 10 minutes. I’ve tried on other phones (not iphones) and it works just fine. Is it from the update or is it just my internet?
