Hello, I am developing a private internal Flutter app for our customer, which will not be published on the Apple Store. One of the key features of this app is to collect RF strength metrics to share user experience with the network. For Android, we successfully implemented the required functionality and are able to collect the following metrics: Signal strength level (0-4) Signal strength in dBm RSSI RSRQ Cell ID Location Area Code Carrier name Mobile country code Mobile network code Radio access technology Connection status Duplex mode However, for iOS, we are facing challenges with CoreTelephony, which is not returning the necessary data. We are aware that CoreTelephony is deprecated and are looking for alternatives. We noticed that a lot of the information we need is available via FTMInternal-4. Is there a way to access this data for a private app? Are there any other recommended approaches or frameworks that can be used to gather cellular network information on iOS for an app that won't be distributed via the Apple Store? my swift code import Foundation import CoreTelephony class RfSignalStrengthImpl: RfSignalStrengthApi { func getCellularSignalStrength(completion: @escaping (Result<CellularSignalStrength, Error>) -> Void) { let networkInfo = CTTelephonyNetworkInfo() guard let carrier = networkInfo.serviceSubscriberCellularProviders?.values.first else { completion(.failure(NSError(domain: "com.xxxx.yyyy", code: 0, userInfo: [NSLocalizedDescriptionKey: "Carrier not found"]))) return } let carrierName = carrier.carrierName ?? "Unknown" let mobileCountryCode = carrier.mobileCountryCode ?? "Unknown" let mobileNetworkCode = carrier.mobileNetworkCode ?? "Unknown" let radioAccessTechnology = networkInfo.serviceCurrentRadioAccessTechnology?.values.first ?? "Unknown" var connectionStatus = "Unknown" ... ... } Thank you for your assistance.

As a fun project, I'm wanting to model an electronic circuit. Components inherit from a superclass (ElectronicComponent). Each subclass (e.g. Resistor) has certain methods to return properties (e.g. resistance), but may vary by the number of outlets (leads) they have, and what they are named. Each outlet connects to a Junction. In my code to assemble a circuit, while I'm able to manually hook up the outlets to the junctions, I'd like to be able to use code similar to the following… class Lead: Hashable // implementation omitted { let id = UUID() unowned let component: ElectronicComponent weak var connection: Junction? init(component: ElectronicComponent, to connection: Junction? = nil) { self.component = component self.connection = connection } } @dynamicMemberLookup class ElectronicComponent { let id = UUID() var connections: Set<Lead> = [] let label: String? init(label: String) { self.label = label } subscript<T>(dynamicMember keyPath: KeyPath<ElectronicComponent, T>) -> T { self[keyPath: keyPath] } func connect(lead: KeyPath<ElectronicComponent, Lead>, to junction: Junction) { let lead = self[keyPath: lead] lead.connection = junction connections.insert(lead) } } class Resistor: ElectronicComponent { var input, output: Lead? let resistance: Measurement<UnitElectricResistance> init(_ label: String, resistance: Measurement<UnitElectricResistance>) { self.resistance = resistance super.init(label: label) } } let resistorA = Resistor("R1", resistance: .init(value: 100, unit: .ohms)) let junctionA = Junction(name: "A") resistorA.connect(lead: \.outlet2, to: junctionA) While I'm able to do this by implementing @dynamicMemberLookup in each subclass, I'd like to be able to do this in the superclass to save repeating the code. subscript<T>(dynamicMember keyPath: KeyPath<ElectronicComponent, T>) -> T { self[keyPath: keyPath] } Unfortunately, the compiler is not allowing me to do this as the superclass doesn't know about the subclass properties, and at the call site, the subclass isn't seen as ElectronicComponent. I've been doing trial and error with protocol conformance and other things, but hitting walls each time. One possibility is replacing the set of outlets with a dictionary, and using Strings instead of key paths, but would prefer not to. Another thing I haven't tried is creating and adopting a protocol with the method implemented in there. Another considered approach is using macros in the subclasses, but I'd like to see if there is a possibility of achieving the goal using my current approach, for learning as much as anything.

Hey all! in my personal quest to make future proof apps moving to Swift 6, one of my app has a problem when setting an artwork image in MPNowPlayingInfoCenter Here's what I'm using to set the metadata func setMetadata(title: String? = nil, artist: String? = nil, artwork: String? = nil) async throws { let defaultArtwork = UIImage(named: "logo")! var nowPlayingInfo = [ MPMediaItemPropertyTitle: title ?? "***", MPMediaItemPropertyArtist: artist ?? "***", MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork: MPMediaItemArtwork(boundsSize: defaultArtwork.size) { _ in defaultArtwork } ] as [String: Any] if let artwork = artwork { guard let url = URL(string: artwork) else { return } let (data, response) = try await URLSession.shared.data(from: url) guard (response as? HTTPURLResponse)?.statusCode == 200 else { return } guard let image = UIImage(data: data) else { return } nowPlayingInfo[MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork] = MPMediaItemArtwork(boundsSize: image.size) { _ in image } } MPNowPlayingInfoCenter.default().nowPlayingInfo = nowPlayingInfo } the app crashes when hitting MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork: MPMediaItemArtwork(boundsSize: defaultArtwork.size) { _ in defaultArtwork } or nowPlayingInfo[MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork] = MPMediaItemArtwork(boundsSize: image.size) { _ in image } commenting out these two make the app work again. Again, no clue on why. Thanks in advance

macOS Tahoe ships with Ruby 2.6.10 which was End Of Life in April 2022 (https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/downloads/branches/). How can I either upgrade it to Ruby 3.4.7 or delete it, so that my mac meets minimum cybersecurity requirements? I use rbenv for more recent versions of Ruby at the moment so don't need any suggestions on how to do add them, I just need rid of the dangerously out of date system Ruby, thanks.

Hi In C#, one can define associated functions by the following. Notice that "Declarations DE" is a reference to a function in another C# project file. This lets the compiler know that there are other references in the project. Likewise, "Form_Load" is the entry point of the code, similar to "main" in C. Any calls to related functions can be made in this section, to the functions that have been previously defined above. So I set out trying to find similar information about SwiftUI, and found several, but only offer partial answers to my questions. The YouTube video... Extracting functions and subviews in SwiftUI | Bootcamp #20 - YouTube ... goes into some of the details, but still leaves me hanging. Likewise... SOLVED: Swift Functions In Swift UI – SwiftUI – Hacking with Swift forums ... has further information, but nothing concrete that I am looking for. Now in the SwiftUI project, I tried this... The most confusing thing for me, is where is "main"? I found several examples that call functions from the structure shown above, BUT I have no reason as to why. So one web example on StackOverFlow called the function from position 1. That did not work. Position 2 worked to call the function at position 3, but really, why? All this activity brings up a lot of questions for me, such as: Does SwiftUI need function callouts similar to C#, and they are called out even before running "main". I seem to recall Borland Delphi being this way as well. How does SwiftUI make references to other classes (places where other functions are stored in separate files)? Does SwiftUI actually make use of "main" in the normal sense, i.e. similar to C, C#, Rust and so on? I did notice that once a SwiftUI function is called, it makes reference to data being passed very similar to other languages, at least for the examples I found. Note that I looked at official SwiftUI documentation, but did not come across information that answers the above.

On iOS 18 some string functions return incorrect values in some cases. Found problems on replacingOccurrences() and split() functions, but there may be others. In the results of these functions in some cases a character is left in the result string when it shouldn't. This did not happen on iOS17 and older versions. I created a very simple Test Project to reproduce the problem. If I run these tests on iOS17 or older the tests succeed. If I run these tests on iOS18 the tests fail. test_TestStr1() function shows a problem in replacingOccurrences() directly using strings. test_TestStr2() function shows a problem in split() that seems to happen only when bridging from NSString to String. import XCTest final class TestStrings18Tests: XCTestCase { override func setUpWithError() throws { // Put setup code here. This method is called before the invocation of each test method in the class. } override func tearDownWithError() throws { // Put teardown code here. This method is called after the invocation of each test method in the class. } func test_TestStr1() { let str1 = "_%\u{7}1\u{7}_"; let str2 = "%\u{7}1\u{7}"; let str3 = "X"; let str4 = str1.replacingOccurrences(of: str2, with: str3); //This should be true XCTAssertTrue(str4 == "_X_"); } func test_TestStr2() { let s1 = "TVAR(6)\u{11}201\"Ã\"\u{11}201\"A\""; let s2 = s1.components(separatedBy: "\u{11}201"); let t1 = NSString("TVAR(6)\u{11}201\"Ã\"\u{11}201\"A\"") as String; let t2 = t1.components(separatedBy: "\u{11}201"); XCTAssertTrue(s2.count == t2.count); let c = s2.count //This should be True XCTAssertTrue(s2[0] == t2[0]); } }

I use AppIntent to trigger a widget refresh, Appint is used on Button or Toggle,as follows var isAudibleArming = false struct SoundAlarmIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "SoundAlarmIntent" func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { isAudibleArming = true return .result() } } func timeline( for configuration: DynamicIntentWidgetPersonIntent, in context: Context ) async -> Timeline { var entries: [Entry] = [] let currentDate = Date() let entry = Entry(person: person(for: configuration)) entries.append(entry) if isAudibleArming { let entry2 = Entry(person: Person(name: "Friend4", dateOfBirth: currentDate.adding(.second, value: 6))) entries.append(entry2) } return .init(entries: entries, policy: .never) } The timeline function fires, with entry corresponding to view1 and entry2 corresponding to view2. I expect to show view1 immediately and view2 6 seconds later. You get the correct response on iOS17. But the 6 second delay function on the discovery code in iOS18.2 takes effect immediately, view1 flashes, view2 appears immediately instead of waiting 6 seconds to appear.

I have my project running perfectly fine on Xcode 16. However, in Xcode 26 it doesn't build due to an error that I do not understand. I have three files that pertain to this error: // FriendListResponse.swift import Foundation struct FriendListResponse: Decodable { var friendships: [Friendship] var collections: [FriendCollection] } // Friendship.swift import Foundation struct Friendship: Decodable { var createdAt: String var friendId: Int var friendUserId: Int // user ID of the friend var friendUsername: String var id: Int var tagNames: [String] } // FriendCollection.swift struct FriendCollection: Decodable { var id: Int var permalink: String var tagNames: [String] var title: String } On the first file, FriendListResponse.swift, I am the simple error message "circular reference." I do not understand how these self-contained structs could create a circular reference. Although I have other data types in my project, none of them are even referenced in these files except for Friendship and FriendCollection. The FriendListResponse is a struct that is created from JSON values that are fetched from an API. This is the function that fetches the JSON: public static func listFriends(username: String) async throws -> [Friendship] { let data = try await sendGETRequest( url: "people/\(username)/friends/list.json" ) print(String(data: data, encoding: .utf8)!) let decoder = JSONDecoder() decoder.keyDecodingStrategy = .convertFromSnakeCase let wrapper = try decoder.decode(FriendListResponse.self, from: data) return wrapper.friendships } // Note: the function sendGETRequest is just // a function that I have created that takes a set // of parameters and returns a data object // using the HTTP GET protocol. I don't think // that it is related to this issue. However, if you // think that it is, I can share the code for that. This error has also happened in a few other cases within contained networks of my data structure. I do not know why this error is only appearing once I launch Xcode 26 beta with my project files. I would think that this error also would appear in Xcode 16.4. Any help would be greatly appreciated in my process to compile my project on Xcode 26!

Greetings! I am actively working on porting x64 code to Apple Silicon now that the time is nigh and part of the fundamentals of our software is a coroutine library for handling cooperative multitasking of GUI operations on the main thread. I was hoping to get the locations of the stack pointer and frame pointer in jmp_buf so, after setjmp() can redirect them to the primary handling routines in our coroutine library that handles the cooperative scheduling (which replaced and ported the old classic MP routines) which worked for PowerPC, i386 and x64. Any thoughts on where in the jmp_buf these might be located? I didn't see anything in the XNU open source. Any advice would be much obliged instead of having to dive in and re-implement these routines in assembly myself!

Hello I was wondering if there is a way to ensure that a C program I am writing can only write to 1 virtual page. I am trying to test how space efficient different Mallocs are and I need a way to ensure that the OS will not try to swap out pages making the space efficiency test pointless. I am on Mac OS Sonoma v14.5.

Xcode downloaded a crash report for my app that crashed when trying to insert a String into a Set<String>. Apparently there was an assertion failure ELEMENT_TYPE_OF_SET_VIOLATES_HASHABLE_REQUIREMENTS. I assume that this assertion failure happened because the hash of the new element didn't match the hash of an equal already inserted element, but regardless, I don't understand how inserting a simple string could trigger this assertion. Here is essentially the code that leads to the crash. path is any file system directory, and basePath is a directory higher in the hierarchy, or path itself. var scanErrorPaths = Set<String>() func main() { let path = "/path/to/directory" let basePath = "/path" let fileDescriptor = open(path, O_RDONLY) if fileDescriptor < 0 { if (try? URL(fileURLWithPath: path, isDirectory: false).checkResourceIsReachable()) == true { scanErrorPaths.insert(path.relativePath(from: basePath)!) return } } extension String { func relativePath(from basePath: String) -> String? { if basePath == "" { return self } guard let index = range(of: basePath, options: .anchored)?.upperBound else { return nil } return if index == endIndex || basePath == "/" { String(self[index...]) } else if let index = self[index...].range(of: "/", options: .anchored)?.upperBound { String(self[index...]) } else { nil } } } crash.crash

I want to build a Swift library package that uses modified build of OpenSSL and Curl. I have already statically compiled both and verified I can use them in an Objective-C framework on my target platform (iOS & iOS Simulator). I'm using XCFramework files that contain the static library binaries and headers: openssl.xcframework/ ios-arm64/ openssl.framework/ Headers/ [...] openssl ios-arm64_x86_64-simulator/ openssl.framework/ Headers/ [...] openssl Info.plist I'm not sure how I'm supposed to set up my Swift package to import these libraries. I can use .systemLibrary but that seems to use the embedded copies of libssl and libcurl on my system, and I can't figure out how to use the path: parameter to that. I also tried using a .binaryTarget pointing to the XCFramework files, but that didn't seem to work as there is no module generated and I'm not sure how to make one myself. At a basic high level, this is what I'm trying to accomplish: where libcrypto & libssl come from the provided openssl.xcframework file, and libcurl from curl.xcframework

I have a s hared library in C++ that was built with GNU Libtool, and I want to bundle it with my Swift app and call it from the app. How can I bundle it and call it?

After ther Mac application is launched: Log error: CGSWindowShmemCreateWithPort failed on port 0 and when the application quit: No error handler for XPC error: Connection invalid Appear with Xcode 15.4 but not with 12.4 As repported by Steve4442 in "Can someone explain this message" https://Forums.Developer.Apple.com/Forums/Thread/727803 .

Will Apple continue to support it, or will we wake up one day to find that Swift is the only viable language?It's a serious question. Careers depend on it. I don't accept the "No comment" approach that Apple usually takes. It's cruel.I'm willing to put the time into learning Swift if I have to. I'm not going to do it if I don't. I want to know.Frank
