What is the right moment to get the value of needsInputModeSwitchKey?
I was trying to show my nextKeyboardButton based on the value of needsInputModeSwitchKey when the viewDidLoad or viewWillAppear. nextKeyboardButton.isHidden = !self.needsInputModeSwitchKey However, my Xcode console always showed this error when I call the key at viewDidLoad, viewWillAppear, viewWillLayoutSubviews and viewDidLayoutSubviews. 2024-10-15 11:50:34.306515+0800 MyKeyboard[6040:25025964] [External] -[UIInputViewController needsInputModeSwitchKey] was called before a connection was established to the host application. This will produce an inaccurate result. Please make sure to call this after your primary view controller has been initialized. The timing of connection was established to the host application. probably not related to the life cycle of extension? What's the right way use this key without warning?

Proper way to use IOKit in iOS app?
Hello, forum, I'm trying to build connection between a non-MFi HID device (like keyboard) and iOS app with IOKit and Swift. Thanks to this post, I have manage to import the IOKit into objc header. IOKit on iOS/iPadOS 16.0+ #import <IOKit/IOKitLib.h> However, I have this compiler error when I try to imitate same methods in the SerialPortSaple project from following article, but the IOKit can not be imported to Swift at first place. Communicating with a Modem on a Serial Port The screen shot of the sample project: It looks like the complier unable to reach the io_object_t type somehow, is there any workaround or approach?

How to make keyboard extension available for a MDM device?
Our keyboard extension can be accessed independently in China region with native app like Notes or Safari, however the keyboard can only be opened in the app under same project in Taiwan region. I've checked some articles about how MDM managing extensions, also make sure our RequestOpenAccess option of keyboard extension info.plist also set to Yes. I'm not sure is there anything I missed, or I just need to inform client that they need to reach out their MDM manager and modify some restrictions? If keyboard supports mobile device management (MDM), it can work with managed apps. App extensions give third-party developers a way to provide functionality to other apps or even to key systems built into the operating systems Allow full access to custom keyboard in iOS

Pass an enum to notification userInfo in would lead to crash in iOS 14.6
My app always crash when I trying to assign an enum to a value of[String: Any] only on iOS14.6, tested on iOS15, iOS16, iOS17, never saw this issue. The function would pass an ConnectState enum and a serial number string to a userInfo of notification, received class may perform some UI updates when connect state changed. func post(state: ConnectState, serial: Int) { var userInfo: [String: Any] = [:] userInfo["state"] = state userInfo["serial"] = serial print(userInfo) NotificationCenter.default.post(name: NSNotification.Name("PostName"), object: nil, userInfo: userInfo) } @objc enum ConnectState: UInt8 { case connected = 0x00 case disConnected = 0x01 var description: String { switch self { case .connected: return "connected" case .disConnected: return "disConnected" } } } Classes received this notification, may perform some task based on connect state changed. class AClass { init() { NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(self, selector: #selector(handleNotification(_:)), name: NSNotification.Name("PostName"), object: nil) } @objc func handleNotification(_ notification :Notification) { let state = notification.userInfo?["state"] as! ConnectState print("AClass handleNotification: \(state.description)") } } let a = AClass() post(state: .disConnected, serial: 123456) post(state: .connected, serial: 123456) //["serial": 123456, "state": __lldb_expr_3.ConnectState] //AClass handleNotification: disConnected //["serial": 123456, "state": __lldb_expr_3.ConnectState] //AClass handleNotification: connected The crashes always happened in the line that assigning the ConnectState enum to dictionary [String: Any] value, both connect state and serialNumber are not nil or optional. I'm not sure why would this related to a allocate issue, is my code wrong? AppName(645,0x16f61f000) malloc: can't allocate region :*** mach_vm_map(size=1152921504606863360, flags: 100) failed (error code=3) AppName(645,0x16f61f000) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug ```Since we only have one iOS14.6 device, it will be a challenge to test on other same iOS version device, nor test on simulator.

How to run a background task on keyboard extension to communicate with a MFi device?
I'm working on a app that can communicate, send and receive data from our own MFi scanner. Ideally, this app can receives data and remains communication even when it's in background, but I can only runs a background task for maximum 30 sec. Along with this main app, we also have a keyboard extension as an interface that can publish collected data to other app that user prefers with string format. However, It seems like Apple doesn't allow to implement UIApplication.shared.beginBackgroundTask method in extension class, is there any alternative that worth to try? Also, can I extend app background task time elapsed to at least 30 minutes? If I can get an official response would be great!

Custom keyboard randomly crash with NSExtension Error
I'm currently developing a custom keyboard which bundled with main app. The keyboard would randomly crash when switch between apps with opened custom keyboard on physical device. I've read posts around but seems not what I've encountered. Bundle ID of main app: com.company.appName Bundle ID of keyboard extension: com.company.appName.Keyboard When custom keyboard is opened second time on other app, a sole personality warning would show up, but this won't lead to crash.
