Hi, I have a UIBarButtonItem that I create with a UIMenu, and it's added to the navigation bar: self.rightButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemAdd menu: [self createMenuForAddItem]]; self.navigationItem.rightBarButtonItems = @[self.rightButton]; The menu shows fine when a user clicks on the bar button. Now I want to also show this menu programmatically, for e.g if the user opens the app for the 5th time, the menu from the bar button item shows automatically, without the user having to explicitly press the button. How do I achieve this?

For calling swift api of a class to cpp , we need to include SwiftInterfaceGeneratedHeader to cpp file and then we can access swift class api in cpp . Signature of swift class with public apis will be added to the SwiftInterfaceGeneratedHeader. We find an odd behaviour here . Signature of classes will be added to SwiftInterfaceGeneratedHeader in alphabetical order (swift class name alphabetically lower will be added first to generated header). If we have a swift class which is referenced by another swift class Api , then referenced class's name should be alphabetically lower that referee class , otherwise we will get a build error :- "Unknown class name". public class A { public func funca () { print ("class A") } } public class B { public func funcb () { print ("class B") } public func funcb2 (pA:A) { pA.funca() } public func funcb3 (pC:C) { pC.funcc() } } public class C { public func funcc () { print ("class C") } } Cpp class where we include bridging header after turning on swift cpp interop : class Test1 { public: static void testfunc (); }; #include "Test1.hpp" #include "cppswiftinterop-Swift.h" void Test1::testfunc() { } Here , we have three swift classes , Class A,B,C. And since we are including SwiftInterfaceGeneratedHeader in cpp , signature of these class will be added to the generated header . In this project , we are referencing Class A and Class C from Class B . And since A is alphabetically lower that B , it works fine (because signature of A in Generated header will be added before it is referenced by B). But since C is alphabetically above than B , it will through build error (Unknown type name 'C') , because Signature of C in Generated header will be added after it is referenced by class B). If i rename Class C to Class AA then , it works fine. Is this a bug in swift cpp interop?

Is there a system deep link URI to the built in files app? I would like to direct users to my apps location in the files app. For example files://myApp The only exposed deep links for system I can find are the ones for mail, sms, FaceTime etc. Thank you (tag used for post was because I couldn’t find a deep link tag)

Issue: Our app is currently experiencing an unexpected behavior related to VPN functionality on iOS devices. Despite having the "OnDemandUserOverrideDisabled" parameter set to 1 in our VPN profile, users have reported that they can create a shortcut to disable the "Connect On Demand" feature. However, upon doing so, toggling off the VPN does not re-enable the feature as anticipated. This oversight results in unfiltered browsing, potentially compromising user security and privacy. Explanation: The presence of "OnDemandUserOverrideDisabled" set to 1 in our VPN profile should theoretically prevent users from toggling the "Connect On Demand" feature via any means. However, users have found a workaround using shortcuts to bypass this safeguard. Consequently, the VPN does not automatically re-engage after being disabled, leading to unintended consequences for users. Impact: The inability to reliably control VPN settings, despite profile configurations, poses a significant risk to user data privacy and security. Unintended unfiltered browsing can expose users to malicious actors and compromise sensitive information.

I have already created consumable in-app purchases in App Store Connect which are available in my app. Then I created a "Discount Code" UIButton which presented custom UI for the user to input a code for another in-app -purchase at a lower price but that build was rejected because you cannot have custom code for this sort of thing. Ref: Apple Documentation: presentCodeRedemptionSheet() Finally I got it through review when I changed the UI but then I realized that I can't offer a free consumable in-app purchase. The minimum price is US$0.29. I would prefer a free consumable in-app purchase to give to freelancers I am owkrin with for them to test the app with. I know that there are ways to do it when using subscriptions but my app only using consumable in-app purchases which align better with my business model and the value offering of my app. There must be some way of creating a single-use free consumable discount code which will also get through App Store Review. Anyone managed something like this? Thanks.

I wanted to identify the shutdown event in macOS, so that If my application is running and the user performs a system shutdown then my application could be notified of the shutdown event and perform finalization. I came across NSWorkspaceWillPowerOffNotification which is exactly what I require, however, I created a sample application to observe for this notification. Is is observed that right before the system shuts down, the OS terminates my application invoking applicationWillTerminate(_:) delegate and the observer method for 'NSWorkspaceWillPowerOffNotification' is not invoked. I could perform my finalization in the applicationWillTerminate, but I wanted to know why is the observer not getting invoked. Also why is NSWorkspaceWillPowerOffNotification, even provided by apple when it invoked the termination delegate before shutdown? below is how I m adding the observer: NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: NSWorkspace.willPowerOffNotification, object: nil, queue: nil, using: AppDelegate.handlePowerOffNotification) Below is my observer function, which just logs: public static func handlePowerOffNotification(_ notification: Notification) { NSLog (AppDelegate.TAG + "System will power off soon! Perform any necessary cleanup tasks.") // custom logger to log to a file TWLog.Log ("System will power off soon! Perform any necessary cleanup tasks.") }

After uploading a new iOS build, we received an error message via email from Apple stating: "ITMS-90013: Corrupt Image File - The image file "AppIcon60x60 2x.png" appears to be corrupt." Strangely, we don't have any image file with that name in our project. It seems to be a build processing error on Apple's side. While I've seen similar issues reported for Apple TV in the past, this is happening with our iOS build. Has anyone discovered a workaround? I've uploaded another app build and haven't encountered any errors.

Hi, Guys, I would lie to ask it been more than 10 days I add my card but still it shows Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process. i use my name same in card also anybody know what possible issues here, i was using my email but it is not same email with my card I located in Malaysia

Hello, technical friends, I am developing a custom keyboard extension, currently encountered a technical difficulty, almost asked AI and Google have not solved my problem. 

 Problem description: 
 When my App was first installed, I opened Settings from the App, enabled full access, and crashed when I returned to the App. Run the App for the second time, open the Settings from the App, update the full access permission, and automatically re-run the App after returning to the App, and then the third, fourth, and NTH times will not crash. 

 Seems like ios will kill host apps for custom keyboard extensions after full access is updated? I want my App installed for the first time to update full access to return App without crashing, but don't know how to fix this problem. I look forward to the technical experts working in Apple development to help me provide relevant technical methods and ideas so that I can solve this problem. Thank you very much! When tracing debugging in xcode, after the App forces exit, the console prompts： Message from debugger: Terminated due to signal 9 When I was monitoring CPU and memory usage, it was very low and I didn't see anything unusual.

Hi team, I'm running into the following issue, for which I don't seem to find a good solution. I would like to be able to drag and drop items from a view into empty space to open a new window that displays detailed information about this item. Now, I know something similar has been flagged already in this post (FB13545880: Support drag and drop to create a new window on visionOS) HOWEVER, all this does, is launch the App again with the SAME WindowGroup and display ContentView in a different state (show a selected product e.g.). What I would like to do, is instead launch ONLY the new WindowGroup, without a new instance of ContentView. This is the closest I got so far. It opens the desired window, but in addition it also displays the ContentView WindowGroup WindowGroup { ContentView() .onContinueUserActivity(Activity.openWindow, perform: handleOpenDetail) } WindowGroup(id: "Detail View", for: Reminder.ID.self) { $reminderId in ReminderDetailView(reminderId: reminderId! ) } .onDrag({ let userActivity = NSUserActivity(activityType: Activity.openWindow) let localizedString = NSLocalizedString("DroppedReminterTitle", comment: "Activity title with reminder name") userActivity.title = String(format: localizedString, reminder.title) userActivity.targetContentIdentifier = "\(reminder.id)" try? userActivity.setTypedPayload(reminder.id) // When setting the identifier let encoder = JSONEncoder() if let jsonData = try? encoder.encode(reminder.persistentModelID), let jsonString = String(data: jsonData, encoding: .utf8) { userActivity.userInfo = ["id": jsonString] } return NSItemProvider(object: userActivity) }) func handleOpenDetail(_ userActivity: NSUserActivity) { guard let idString = userActivity.userInfo?["id"] as? String else { print("Invalid or missing identifier in user activity") return } if let jsonData = idString.data(using: .utf8) { do { let decoder = JSONDecoder() let persistentID = try decoder.decode(PersistentIdentifier.self, from: jsonData) openWindow(id: "Detail View", value: persistentID) } catch { print("Failed to decode PersistentIdentifier: \(error)") } } else { print("Failed to convert string to data") } }

Hi all, I am generating some USDZ files that will be used in quicklook and be accessible with the Vision Pro. I was wondering are there any examples with USDZ files with actions? like the ability to change a state of assesses by tapping on them? I know this works with .reality files, but I would like to use Python to create some automatically generated USDZ files that allow some interaction. I'm currently stuck! So an example of the capabilities would be great - or pointing to some code that has done this in python. Thanks!

HI i have coded an App for Mac OSX that has embedded a Command line tool, the problem is that everything works fine while i am running from the xcode compiler, after build the final product, the app is not working properly and i can see messages like this in the console. Task .<251932> not allowed to create a new connection (existing Connection 224) Task <37752B7F-5827-4160-83C4-773B17AE72DF>.<255990> resuming, timeouts(60.0, 604800.0) QOS(0x21) Voucher (null) i was reading a link posted here but the solution is not working, some ideas are appreciated. My guess is that maybe is something related with a security setting. This is the code: NSTask *task; NSString *executableName = @"websocat"; NSString *executablePath = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingPathComponent:executableName]; task = [[NSTask alloc] init]; [task setLaunchPath:executablePath]; Quinn “The Eskimo!" please help!

I am using @AppStorage in a model object (see code below that works as expected). class ModelObject { static let shared = ModelObject() @AppStorage("enhanced") var scriptPickers: Bool = true var defaultDependentValue: String { scriptPickers ? "Enhanced" : "NOT enhanced" } } struct ContentView: View { @AppStorage("enhanced") var scriptPickers: Bool = true var body: some View { VStack { Toggle(isOn: $scriptPickers, label: { Text("userDefault val") }) Text("value: \(ModelObject.shared.defaultDependentValue)") } } } Now I want to test my model object in a way that will allow me to use a mock instance of UserDefaults, but am having trouble with the syntax. I tried adding a userDefaults var, and referring to the var in the @AppStorage class ModelObject { static let shared = ModelObject() let userDefaults: UserDefaults init(userDefaults: UserDefaults = .standard) { self.userDefaults = userDefaults } @AppStorage("enhanced", store: userDefaults) var scriptPickers: Bool = true var defaultDependentValue: String { scriptPickers ? "Enhanced" : "NOT enhanced" } } However I can't find a way to avoid the syntax error this generates: Cannot use instance member 'userDefaults' within property initializer; property initializers run before 'self' is available Any guidance on how I might be able to: continue using @AppStorage be able to test my class in a way that doesn't force me to use UserDefaults.standard thanks, in advance, Mike

I have the following html that is opened in a WKWebView. <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" /> <title>Popup Window Test</title> </head> <body> <textarea id="myTextarea" cols="5" rows="1">Empty</textarea> <script> function openWindow() { const popup = window.open( "https://www.apple.com/", "PopupSample", "width=400,height=400,dialog=yes,dependent=yes,scrollbars=yes,location=yes" ); console.log("Popup closed: ", popup.closed); document.getElementById("myTextarea").value = popup.closed ? "Closed" : "Open"; const timer = setInterval(() => { console.log(popup.location.href); if (popup.closed) { clearInterval(timer); console.log("Popup closed: ", popup.closed); document.getElementById("myTextarea").value = "Closed"; } }, 1000); } </script> <button onclick="openWindow()">Open Window</button> </body> </html> When I click the button and open page "https://www.apple.com/" in another WKWebView, the javascript code does not work as expected here, the popup object returned from window.open() does not refer to the valid window object, and the closed property is set to true even the new popup window is still alive. This is a regression since MacOS14.4 updated, I've reported to apple DTS, but they said it's out of their scope. Does anyone has any clue about this?

Upon attempting to load an .ipa file from our build system into Apple Transporter 1.3 (newly updated this week from 1.2.5), the following error was presented. This occurs when selecting the file to load (or drag/drop the .ipa file onto the app). Never seen this before and it is unclear what the issue is (and why it might persist for 24 hours) or why it mentioned macOS App. This is an iOS/iPad app (not a macOS app) but the iPad app can be installed on a Mac as many iPad apps can. I had another Mac with the 1.2.5 version of Transporter and the same file was loaded (and then uploaded to the App Store) without a hitch. Does anyone have any idea or has seen something similar?

It's been frustrating to solve this error. My iOS device and Xcode are fully updated. I can easily run app on simulator, but issue happens on my iPhone. dyld[23479]: Symbol not found: _$s9SwiftData12ModelContextC6insert6objectyx_tAA010PersistentC0RzlFTj Referenced from: <6FC773BB-E68B-35A9-B334-3FFC8B951A4E> Expected in: /System/Library/Frameworks/SwiftData.framework/SwiftData

Im making an API call using notions API to access and retrieve data from my Notion page and I'm successfully making the url request and accessing the page, however I seem to be struggling with returning the actual data that I have in that page and parsing the JSON data as right now, my console only outputs the makeup of my notion page rather than the formatted and parsed data. I made a codable struct meant to replicate the structure of a notion page based off their documentation then I'm passing that struct to my JSON parsing function but my data still is not being parsed and returned. heres what I have. import Foundation struct Page: Codable, Hashable { //Codable struct for notion "Page" for defining content aswell as object representation in a codable struct of all the basic components that make up a notion page per notion's documentation let created_time: String let created_by: String let last_edited_time: String let object: String let cover: String let emoji: String let icon: String struct properties: Codable, Hashable { let title: String let dueDate: String let status: String } struct dueDate: Codable, Hashable { let id: String let type: String let date: String let start: String let end: String? //optionals added to "end" and "time_zone" as these values are set to null in the documentation let time_zone: String? } struct Title: Codable,Hashable { let id: String let type: String let title: [String] } struct annotations: Codable, Hashable { let bold: Bool let italic: Bool let strikethrough: Bool let underline: Bool let code: Bool let color: String } let English: String let Korean: String let Pronounciation: String let in_trash: Bool let public_url: String? let annotations: Bool } let url = URL(string: "https://api.notion.com/v1/pages/8efc0ca3d9cc44fbb1f34383b794b817") let apiKey = "secret_Olc3LXnpDW6gI8o0Eu11lQr2krU4b870ryjFPJGCZs4" let session = URLSession.shared func makeRequest() { if let url = url { var request = URLRequest(url: url) let header = "Bearer " + apiKey //authorization header declaration request.addValue(header, forHTTPHeaderField: "authorization") //append apikey request.addValue("2022-06-28",forHTTPHeaderField: "Notion-Version") //specify version per notions requirments let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in if let httpError = error { print("could not establish HTTP connection:\(httpError)") } else { if let httpResponse = response as?

I can run it on the simulators, and directly on physical devices, but not on My Mac (Designed for iPad). The error is: error: attach by pid '33190' failed -- attach failed (Not allowed to attach to process. Look in the console messages (Console.app), near the debugserver entries, when the attach failed. The subsystem that denied the attach permission will likely have logged an informative message about why it was denied.) Checked the log and this is what I found: error 12:44:36.527139-0500 mdbulkimport could not make proxies from uuids in optimized path!

How is this problem solved?

It can read the model is s5 but can't read the version of watchOS and the capability of storage. Anyone knows how to fix this?

Greetings, Working on adding some simple rules to my first TipKit tips. I'm following the example from the WWDC TipKit talk, which included a rule intended to ensure that the user had accessed a particular feature at least three times in the past five days. So it had code that looked like this: #Rule(Self.enteredBackyardDetailView) { $0.donations .filter { $0.date > Date.now.addingTimeInterval(-5 * 60 * 60 * 24) } .count >= 3 I'm trying to do something similar -- essentially, I want to know if the user has been using this feature for at least a day. So I tried this: #Rule(Self.viewedDetails) { $0.donations .filter { $0.date < Date.now.addingTimeInterval(-1 * 60 * 60 * 24) } .count > 0 } i.e., Is there at least one event that was donated more than a day ago? However, Xcode flags the .filter line with the message "The filter function is not supported in this rule." Huh? This smells to me a lot like the limitations that SwiftData has with not being able to do certain kinds of operations in predicates. But this was clearly intended to be supported in the design, since the exact example was shown in the WWDC session on TipKit. So, am I missing something? Is there a different way to structure this so that I can use .filter, or is there some other way of expressing the condition without using filter? I did try using .first { same expression } != nil, but Xcode then said that rules must include a count comparison... Thanks!
