Overview

I am attempting to install and utilize an agent using the new(ish) SMAppService API with an existing app. The agent appears to install (no error is returned), but when I try to start the agent from Terminal, I get the following in the launchd.log: 2024-04-22 09:57:27.469039 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent) : internal event: WILL_SPAWN, code = 0 2024-04-22 09:57:27.469080 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent) : service state: spawn scheduled 2024-04-22 09:57:27.469081 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent) : service state: spawning 2024-04-22 09:57:27.469100 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent) : launching: one-shot 2024-04-22 09:57:27.469105 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent) : Allowing non-reentrant proxy for resolving path 2024-04-22 09:57:27.469947 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent [71866]) : xpcproxy spawned with pid 71866 2024-04-22 09:57:27.469960 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent [71866]) : internal event: SPAWNED, code = 0 2024-04-22 09:57:27.469964 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent [71866]) : service state: xpcproxy 2024-04-22 09:57:27.469997 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent [71866]) : internal event: SOURCE_ATTACH, code = 0 2024-04-22 09:57:27.506283 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent [71866]) : Service could not initialize: posix_spawn(/Users/chrisf/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/Redacted-gttupgdyakodzddurpavhmscwabs/Build/Products/Debug/Redacted App.app/Contents/MacOS/Service Agent.app), error 0xd - Permission denied 2024-04-22 09:57:27.506306 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent [71866]) : initialization failure: 23E224: xpcproxy + 31420 [1098][A7EF179C-FBCC-349E-A7D2-09B2F1408413]: 0xd 2024-04-22 09:57:27.506309 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent [71866]) : internal event: INIT, code = 13 2024-04-22 09:57:27.506313 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent [71866]) : job state = spawn failed 2024-04-22 09:57:27.507148 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent [71866]) : xpcproxy exited due to exit(78) 2024-04-22 09:57:27.507153 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent [71866]) : exited due to exit(78) 2024-04-22 09:57:27.507162 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent [71866]) : already handled failed init, ignoring 2024-04-22 09:57:27.507170 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent [71866]) : service state: exited 2024-04-22 09:57:27.507186 (gui/502/com.redacted.service.agent [71866]) : internal event: EXITED, code = 0 (tldr: error 0xd - Permission denied) I'd also be curious how we are expected to launch agents once registered with SMAppService. Is it sufficient simply to make an XPC call to an exposed method? Thanks!

We've been using network framework for peer to peer connectivity since iOS 15. Since the introduction of iOS 17 we've been getting the following for our NWListener when attempting to establish a connection with any multipathServiceType enabled. We're not doing anything special here. On iOS 17.x devices (we've tested 17.1, 17.2, 17.4) we simply enable multipath services by adding the multipath capability and then setting multipathServiceType to .handover or .interactive on our NWParameters. The devices never connect when we try establish an NWConnection. This works on all non-iOS 17.x devices. This is reproducible using the Apple Peer-to-Peer NWConnection TicTacToe sample code.

We have a relatively simple app that using Network.Framework, NWConnection, NWEndpoint to setup TCP connections with nearby devices also using the app. It's actually been working great for a while now but we've recently noticed with iOS 17.4/17.4.1 that we're spontaneously getting: nw_proto_tcp_route_init [C6:3] no mtu received sometimes the [C6:3] will be [C7:3] or another similar code. We may also occasionally see No route to Host appear in our console logs though this isn't definite. After this point the connection is effectively lost but we don't actually receive any updates on our NWConnection stateUpdateHandler to action on. It's sort of dead in the water so to speak. We've reproduced this issue with multiple devices on iOS 17.4.x and in multiple network settings (in office, cafe, home networks...etc). Nothing seems to make a difference. Any ideas on how to fix or workaround this? I saw a similar issue here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/669519 but the original author never followed up and it's around 3 years old. I've captured a sysdiagnose log and can submit an issue if it warrants filing a bug report.

Hi everyone ... i am pretty new to IOS dev, so any help would be great. I am trying to send a string "apple" from UIviewcontroller one to the UIviewcontroller sixth. I am able send the string "apple" from one UIviewcontroller to the next. But then i will have to repeat it again and again in all the views. Is there anyway i can send it directly to the sixth UIviewcontroller ?

The following UIKit swift app uses a table view with 2 sections. The first section displays a custom cell with a text view, which was added to the cell’s contentView and anchored to the ladder’s layoutMarginsGuide’s top, bottom, leading and trailing anchors. The second section displays a custom cell that is like the former but with a text field instead of a text view. Both sections have titles defined in the tableView(_:cellForRowAt:) method. If you run the app, you will see that the text view’s text is not vertically aligned to it’s section’s title, whereas the text field’s is. How do I align the text view’s text as well? import UIKit class ViewController: UIViewController { let tableView = UITableView() override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() view.addSubview(tableView) tableView.frame = view.bounds tableView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight] tableView.dataSource = self tableView.register(TextViewCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: TextViewCell.identifier) tableView.register(TextFieldCell.self, forCellReuseIdentifier: TextFieldCell.identifier) } } extension ViewController: UITableViewDataSource { func numberOfSections(in tableView: UITableView) -> Int { 2 } func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, numberOfRowsInSection section: Int) -> Int { 1 } func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, cellForRowAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> UITableViewCell { if indexPath.section == 0 { tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: TextViewCell.identifier, for: indexPath) } else { tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier: TextFieldCell.identifier, for: indexPath) } } func tableView(_ tableView: UITableView, titleForHeaderInSection section: Int) -> String? { "Title \(section)" } } extension UITableViewCell { static var identifier: String { "\(Self.self)" } } class TextViewCell: UITableViewCell { let textView: UITextView = { let tv = UITextView() tv.text = "Text view" tv.font = .preferredFont(forTextStyle: .title2) tv.backgroundColor = .systemRed tv.isScrollEnabled = false return tv }() override init(style: UITableViewCell.CellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) { super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier) contentView.addSubview(textView) textView.pin(to: contentView.layoutMarginsGuide) } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented") } } class TextFieldCell: UITableViewCell { let textField: UITextField = { let tf = UITextField() tf.text = "Text field" tf.backgroundColor = .systemBlue return tf }() override init(style: UITableViewCell.CellStyle, reuseIdentifier: String?) { super.init(style: style, reuseIdentifier: reuseIdentifier) contentView.addSubview(textField) textField.pin(to: contentView.layoutMarginsGuide) } required init?(coder: NSCoder) { fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented") } } Here's how the pin(to:) function is defined in case you're wondering: import UIKit extension UIView { func pin( to object: CanBePinnedTo, top: CGFloat = 0, bottom: CGFloat = 0, leading: CGFloat = 0, trailing: CGFloat = 0 ) { self.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false NSLayoutConstraint.activate([ self.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: object.topAnchor, constant: top), self.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: object.bottomAnchor, constant: bottom), self.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: object.leadingAnchor, constant: leading), self.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: object.trailingAnchor, constant: trailing), ]) } } @MainActor protocol CanBePinnedTo { var topAnchor: NSLayoutYAxisAnchor { get } var bottomAnchor: NSLayoutYAxisAnchor { get } var leadingAnchor: NSLayoutXAxisAnchor { get } var trailingAnchor: NSLayoutXAxisAnchor { get } } extension UIView: CanBePinnedTo { } extension UILayoutGuide: CanBePinnedTo { }

Hi, Per Apple the isStationary value is supposed to set to true when the device is stationary. I am trying to get a better understanding of when and how this status is changed. When and how does Apple decide when to set this to true and what is the threshold by which it is set to false. Right now when I start my app and use it is set from true to false instantly. let updates = CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates() for try await update in updates { self.isStationary = update.isStationary I would love to know by what criteria it sets it to true otherwise I'm collecting a lot of zero speed very slight to no movements in latitude and longitude that I have to make some assumptions about filtering out of what I capture. I can't seem to find any mention of this or use case examples in any of the usual sources for examples despite having been introduced at the last WWDC 2023. Any help here would be appreciated.

I spent 3 days sorting out an app that worked with net7.0 and Xcode 14.x. Namely my Httpsclient requests to the API crashed the iOS after 6-9 cycles. Ater re-coding with no luck, tracking the Crash codes and recoding with no luck, I finally found a forum that articulates 15.3 and net8.0 is a no go. Downgrade to 15.2. I did the downgrade and my original code worked just fine. I read most of the posts on 15.3 and did not see this issue noted. Has anyone seen the same issue and if so found a work around? Others have seen an HttpsClient issue with authentication with 2 suggestions but no workable solution in 15.3. They downgraded.

I'm encountering a peculiar issue with my macOS installer application when hardened runtime is enabled (--options runtime) during code signing, and I'm hoping to get some guidance on how to resolve it. Issue Description: My installer application is designed to prompt users for system credentials upon launch. After entering the correct credentials and clicking "OK", users should see the next screen to proceed with the installation process. However, with hardened runtime enabled, the application stops responding after the credential entry step. The next screen, where users should proceed with installation, does not appear. If I codesign without using hardened runtime, my installer works fine. However it fails during notarization. What I've Tried: I have reviewed Apple's documentation on hardened runtime and notarization to ensure I'm following best practices. I've checked the Console logs for any relevant error messages or warnings, but haven't found any conclusive information. Additional Information: The application is an installer built using bitrock installbuilder. It relies on prompting users for system credentials using standard macOS authentication mechanisms. Initially the installer is in tar.gz format which I extract to get .app file. This file is codesigned. Next I create a .DMG of the codesigned .app file and codesign the DMG before sending it for notarization. Request for Assistance: I'm seeking guidance on how to address this issue with my installer application not proceeding after credential entry when hardened runtime is enabled. Are there any specific configurations, entitlements, or best practices that I might be missing? Or are there alternative approaches I should consider to ensure compatibility while still meeting Apple's security requirements for notarization? Any insights or advice from your experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

I have a TabView which consists of a few different tabs. One of which does an @Query to retrieve an array of Transaction models. These are then displayed in a list using a ForEach. struct TransactionsTab: View { @Query private var transactions: [Transaction] ... other code Section(content: { ForEach(transactions) { transaction in transaction.getListItem() } }, header: { LabeledView(label: "Recent Transactions", view: { ListButton(mode: .link(destination: { ListView(list: transactions) .navigationTitle("All Transactions") })) }) }) Transaction contains a different model called TransactionItem and that has a variable called amount. That amount variable is used in the getListItem() function to show how much the total transaction was in the list item. The issue is that I can delete a Transaction and the ForEach will update to reflect that. However, if I delete an TransactionItem separately, that getListItem() will not show that it's been deleted. The total amount shown will still be as if the TransactionItem was never deleted. It will only update when the app is closed and reopened. Below is the code that's ran when deleting a model, in this case a TransactionItem. // Deletes a single item private func delete() { deleteWarning = false if let item = itemToDelete { // If last item is being delete, dismiss the view if list.count == 1 { dismissView() } context.delete(item) context.saveContext() itemToDelete = nil } mode = .view } I would think that deleting the model and having it save will cause the transaction query to update. What's going on here to cause it to not update? By the way, saveContext() just calls the ModelContext save function. extension ModelContext { func saveContext() { do { try self.save() } catch { print("Could not save context: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } }

My how things have changed! Right? I cannot even describe how much time and effort my copilot has saved me. I code with the Mac version of VSCode and have been using Pieces for Developer's - a free plugin from the VSCode Marketplace. Talk about blown away. I've used ChatGPT for a year in my browser, even GitHub Copilot, Tabnine, Cody and others... but having the Pieces copilot integrated into my editor as well as my entire toolchain has been insane. On top of that, the Pieces Desktop (https://pieces.app/) that comes with the plugin is free too and does absolute magical things for my workflow. My work is transformed because my copilot is like my own employee that does my work for me in a fraction of time. Looking to hear what copilot experiences you are enjoying. Reply with a link to what you are using. If it's better than Pieces Copilot then I'll be retiring soon! Rich

Hi, Is it possible to get the various audio variants for a given song ID, I am unable to find any documentation for this online. In particular, could I see if Dolby Atmos is available for the track? Here is an example of a request I am sending: https://api.music.apple.com/v1/catalog/us/songs/1168770969

Greetings everyone, we have a problem testing remote notifications to our app runing in an iOS simulator, which should be possible for quite a while now. (https://nilcoalescing.com/blog/TestingRemotePushOniOSSimulator/) We made sure of the following prerequisites The system requirements (recent XCode, recent MacOS, Silicone Processor) are met The app build is set to testing The app is in fact generating a devicetoken and sendig it to our backend We are sending our requests to the api.sandbox.push.app.com environment Nonetheless, we always receive a status 400, error "BadDeviceToken" response from the APNS service. Doing the same with a physical device works like a charm, ie the message is received without any problems. We also tried sending the same device token to a production environment, but got the same 400/BadDeviceToken error. Also the simulator-generated token does not look distorted, ie it's also just a HEX string with the same length as the working token of the physical device. Is there anything else we need to check for this to work?

I created a Custom Offer code to my active sibscription. But it works only via a Link, but If I input it manually in the app - the error occurs " the code you entered could not be found"

Adding environment value openURL or dismiss to a View in a NavigationStack, without even using it, causes an infinite refresh loop. What doesn't work: a) struct ViewA: View { @State private var path = NavigationPath() var body: some View { NavigationStack(path: $path) { ViewB() } } } struct ViewB: View { @Environment(\.openURL) var openURL var body: some View { NavigationLink("Next", value: 1) .navigationDestination(for: Int.self, destination: itemView) } func itemView(_ item: Int) -> some View { Text("Item \(item)") } } Prints ViewB: _openURL changed. infinitely. b) Passing the path to ViewB and appending the value with a Button What works: a) .navigationDestination(for: Int.self) { Text("Item \($0)") } Prints ViewB: @self, @identity, _openURL changed. ViewB: @self, _openURL changed. ViewB: _openURL changed. (3 times) b) Handling the destination on ViewA, which is not ideal for my use case. Prints ViewB: @self, @identity, _openURL changed. ViewB: _openURL changed. (5 times) While the workaround would work, it is still unclear how the environment value can cause the freeze (and eventual crash). Also that passing a function as parameter fails, while providing the destination in place does not. The code is stripped down to the minimal reproducible version. Any thoughts?

I’d like to convert a Filemaker 18 Runtime to a Mac (Catalina) application package. I found a youtube video that describes how to convert a shell script into a Mac OSX App. This is the shell script: I’ve had no luck adapting it to convert my Filemaker runtime into an app. Thanks in advance for any advice. Regards, Lara

I've been trying to move my app creation code from fastlane to the App Store Connect API but I'm struggling with the docs. I'm unable to determine how I can create App Groups, iCloud Containers, and APNS keys. Can someone point me towards the docs on how to create and manage these resources? Here's where I've been looking: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi I imagine that I'm not looking for the correct terminology and I would appreciate the guidance to find what I'm looking for. Thanks!!

FaceID fails with "Problem with TrueDepth camera" in iOS 17.5 B2 on an iPhone 12 mini. I've erased the phone and restored from iCloud backup, and though it began to work again properly, FaceID soon failed again - maybe after an hour or two. I don't believe this is a TrueDepth camera hardware problem. I've erased and restored a second time and I expect it to fail again. I'd like to downgrade to 17.4.1 but the erase/restore procedure installs the beta, even when I deselect the Developer Beta option. Anyone else seeing this? TIA

Ever since 17.4.1 updates to Safari, we are unable to debug our web applications using Safari. Was working perfectly fine before. Safari shows "No Inspectable Applications" in the Develop -> iPadName menu. We have 3 target iPads (Mini, Air and gen 10) and one iPhone 13 Pro Max, all on iPadOS and iOS 17.4.1, all of them show "No Inspectable Applications" in the menu. iPad Mini and iPhone were both visible fine before the 17.4.1 update. Other devices were already updated automagically to 17.4.1 so we couldn't check the before - after scenario. Safari running on iPad simulator with XCode 15.2 has same behaviour. We tried debugging with latest version of following MacOS: MacOS Sonoma (Macbook Pro M2) MacOS Sonoma (Mac Mini M1) MacOS Ventura (Macbook Pro i9) All of those have same behaviour: "No Inspectable Applications". We tried Safari Tech Preview and iPadOS 17.5 beta 2 and no change. Are we missing something?

as a long time macosx user (since NeXT), my favorite text editor is xcode. this started recently. every time i open a .pdb (a protein data bank not a debug symbols file) in xcode, it shows an icon instead of text. how do i set up to open .pdb files as PLAIN TEXT ?? it's really annoying to have to go to file inspector every time i open a .pdb file, scroll down multiple pages to select to "plain text" i looked into xcode.app/contents/info.plist, nothing there
