I want to animate part of my View when a property on a Core Data object is updated. These Core Data objects are ObservableObject so when I update a property on the object using a binding (like a Toggle) or a Button, I expect it to animate. But it’s not working. If I toggle a boolean property on my object, there is no animation. If I change a Boolean value in a Button using a withAnimation block, it does not animated. If I do the same with an ObservableObject class (boolean is a Published property), the animation is respected. A workaround is to use another property (isFavoriteWrapped) and to call objectWillChange.send() manually in the property setter. But this feels wrong. The expected behaviour should be similar to what we see with the ObservableObject. I opened a FB12174214.

Hello, My app uses Core Location to request for Points Of Interest near the user. I used the different APIs provided by Apple: MKLocalPointsOfInterestRequest, MKLocalSearch.Request and MKLocalSearchCompleter. They do not provide the same results at all, whereas the configurations for the requests are very similar. The MKLocalPointsOfInterestRequest provides very few places (if any, sometimes The operation couldn’t be completed. (MKErrorDomain error 4.) The others give more results but not identical. The code for the different requests is provided below. Is this the expected behaviour? If no, have I missed something? Is this a bug? Thanks PS: Tested on Xcode 14.3, iOS 16.0. MKLocalPointsOfInterestRequest let center: CLLocationCoordinate2DMake = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(41.38891, 9.16205) let poiRequest: MKLocalPointsOfInterestRequest = MKLocalPointsOfInterestRequest(center: coordinate, radius: 3_000) poiRequest.pointOfInterestFilter = MKPointOfInterestFilter(including: [.beach]) let poiSearch: MKLocalSearch = MKLocalSearch(request: poiRequest) let resultsPOI = try await poiSearch.start() print(resultsPOI.mapItems.compactMap(\.name)) This give me the following result: ["Plage de Stagnolu"] MKLocalSearch.Request let center: CLLocationCoordinate2DMake = CLLocationCoordinate2DMake(41.38891, 9.16205) let searchRequest: MKLocalSearch.Request = MKLocalSearch.Request() searchRequest.region = MKCoordinateRegion(center: coordinate, latitudinalMeters: 4_000, longitudinalMeters: 4_000) searchRequest.pointOfInterestFilter = MKPointOfInterestFilter(including: [.beach]) searchRequest.resultTypes = .pointOfInterest searchRequest.naturalLanguageQuery = "beach" let search: MKLocalSearch = MKLocalSearch(request: searchRequest) let results = try? await search.start() print(results.mapItems.compactMap(\.name)) This give me se following results.

When using SwiftUI Previews in a Swift Packages, are PreviewProviders automatically removed from the package when archiving an app, as it is the case with a app, or not? If not, how to deal with that? I’m not sure we can use compiler directives like if DEBUG in packages, can we?

When using Swift Packages in Xcode, is there a way to exclude files conditionally (in DEBUG or similar)? I know I can exclude files but I want them while in development. I have a package that contains developments resource/assets (used to seed a Core Data database for the simulator + for Previews, with images and files), but I don't want to include these files in the package used by the real app when archiving. Can we achieve that?

I'm building an iOS app (the supported destinations in the app target are iOS, iPad and Mac - Designed for iPad). I've many SPM frameworks in order to split my codebase in different features. I want to export the localisations for the different packages and the app using Xcode but it fails. I followed the Apple guide regarding SPM localization: the packages contains a Resources folder with a folder for each language supported. I specified the platforms .iOS(.v16) in the packages. But it seems that exporting the localisations using the Product > Export Localizations feature in Xcode compiles also the packages and app for macOS. Here is the error message: Showing Recent Messages /Users/axel/Developer/AppName/Packages/Helpers/Sources/Helpers/UIKit/UIImage+Extension.swift:7:14: No such module 'UIKit' /Users/axel/Developer/AppName/Packages/Helpers/Sources/Helpers/UIKit/UIImage+Extension.swift:7:14: UIKit is not available when building for macOS. Consider using `#if canImport(UIKit)` to conditionally import this framework. Is there a way to have the export feature work when building an iOS app with packages specified for iOS?

Hello I’ve a question regarding CLLocationManager as I’m observing a strange behaviour when receiving location updates. And I don’t really know what could be the culprit here. Some information regarding the device: Device: iPhone Xs Max OS: iOS 16.1 beta 4 App Background Modes: locations updates checked. CLLocationManager setup: CLAuthorizationStatus: authorizedWhenInUse CLAccuracyAuthorization: fullAccuracy allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates is ON pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically is OFF (but toggle to turn in on in the POC) activityType (CLActivityType): .otherNavigation (but tried other options). desiredAccuracy (CLLocationAccuracy) : kCLLocationAccuracyNearestTenMeters (to receive GPS updates, and not cell towers) distanceFilter CLLocationDistance): kCLDistanceFilterNone (-1) or 0. When I record with the device unlocked, everything is working fine with the app either in foreground or in background. It receives location updates as I walk around with quite good accuracy (between 5 and 15 meters, see attachment). But I notice that when the device is locked in my pocket, the location service stops receiving updates after a while (like few minutes). I tried with Wi-Fi off and it behaves the same. You can see that in my screenshots attached: many values are incorrect (speed, course). When I open the app again (not crashed), the locations are received again but the horizontalAccuracy is not very good: it’s as if it was not using the GPS anymore. I tried with low power mode enabled and disabled, and I think it behaves the same but maybe not? Is the low power mode responsible for this discrepancies?  As far as I know, it does not modify location services accuracy (only network, background tasks, etc.). Thanks

I'm trying to use Previews in a Swift Package in Xcode 14b2 but it's not working (it was working in Xcode 13). I have the following error message but I don't know how to solve it. "XCPreviewAgent.app" must be code signed in order to use on-device previews.

Hello, The app displays a list of posts (Post), and for each post, a list of tags (Tag). The Post detail view shows a list of tags for a given post. The Tag detail view shows the post name and the tag name. Both Post and Tag are ObservableObject, and both are passed to the environment when a NavigationLink is tapped. On the master List with all the posts, you tap on a post. The post is passed in the environment. It's working because the detail view for the selected post is correctly displayed, and you can choose to display a tag from the tags in the displayed post. But when you tap on a tag to view the details, the app crashes: the post object is not in the environment. No ObservableObject of type Post found. A View.environmentObject(_:) for Post may be missing as an ancestor of this view. Why? The post object in the PostView, so it should be also available in the TagView because the TagView can only be displayed from the PostView. Thanks Axel import SwiftUI class Store: ObservableObject {     @Published var posts: [Post] = [         Post(name: "Post 1", tags: [.init(name: "Tag 1"), .init(name: "Tag 2")]),         Post(name: "Post 2", tags: [.init(name: "Tag 1"), .init(name: "Tag 2")])     ] } class Post: ObservableObject, Identifiable, Hashable {     @Published var name: String = ""     @Published var tags: [Tag] = []     var id: String { name }     init(name: String, tags: [Tag]) {         self.name = name         self.tags = tags     }     static func == (lhs: Post, rhs: Post) -> Bool {         return lhs.id == rhs.id     }     func hash(into hasher: inout Hasher) {         hasher.combine(id)     } } class Tag: ObservableObject, Identifiable, Hashable {     @Published var name: String = ""     var id: String { name }     init(name: String) {         self.name = name     }     static func == (lhs: Tag, rhs: Tag) -> Bool {         return lhs.id == rhs.id     }     func hash(into hasher: inout Hasher) {         hasher.combine(id)     } } struct PassEnvironmentObject: View {     @StateObject private var store: Store = .init()     var body: some View {       NavigationStack {             List {                 ForEach(store.posts) { post in                     NavigationLink(post.name, value: post)                 }             }             .navigationDestination(for: Post.self) { post in                 PostView()                     .environmentObject(post)           }             .navigationDestination(for: Tag.self) { tag in                 TagView()                     .environmentObject(tag)             }         }     } } struct PostView: View {     @EnvironmentObject private var post: Post     var body: some View {         List {             ForEach(post.tags) { tag in                 NavigationLink(tag.name, value: tag)             }         }     } } struct TagView: View {     @EnvironmentObject private var post: Post     @EnvironmentObject private var tag: Tag     var body: some View {         VStack {             Text(post.name)             Text(tag.name)         }     } } struct PassEnvironmentObject_Previews: PreviewProvider {     static var previews: some View {         PassEnvironmentObject()     } }

I’m currently migrating my app to use the concurrency model in Swift. I want to serialize Tasks to make sure they are executed one after the other (no paralellism). In my use case, I want to listen to notifications posted by the NotificationCenter and execute a Task every time a new notification is posted. But I want to make sure no previous task is running. It's the equivalent of using an OperationQueue with maxConcurrentOperationCount = 1. For example, I’m using CloudKit with Core Data in my app and I use persistent history tracking to determine what changes have occurred in the store. In this Synchronizing a Local Store to the Cloud Sample Code, Apple uses an operation queue for handling history processing tasks (in CoreDataStack). This OperationQueue has a maximum number of operations set to 1. private lazy var historyQueue: OperationQueue = { let queue = OperationQueue() queue.maxConcurrentOperationCount = 1 return queue }() When a Core Data notification is received, a new task is added to this serial operation queue. So if many notifications are received, they will all be performed one after the other one in a serial way. @objc func storeRemoteChange(_ notification: Notification) { // Process persistent history to merge changes from other coordinators. historyQueue.addOperation { self.processPersistentHistory() } } In this Loading and Displaying a Large Data Feed Sample Code, Apple uses Tasks to handle history changes (in QuakesProvider). // Observe Core Data remote change notifications on the queue where the changes were made. notificationToken = NotificationCenter.default.addObserver(forName: .NSPersistentStoreRemoteChange, object: nil, queue: nil) { note in Task { await self.fetchPersistentHistory() } } I feel something is wrong in the second project as Tasks could happen in any order, and not necessarily in a serial order (contrary to the first project where the OperationQueue as a maxConcurrentOperationCount = 1). Should we use an actor somewhere to make sure the methods are serially called? I thought about an implementation like this but I’m not yet really comfortable with that: actor PersistenceStoreListener { let historyTokenManager: PersistenceHistoryTokenManager = .init() private let persistentContainer: NSPersistentContainer init(persistentContainer: NSPersistentContainer) { self.persistentContainer = persistentContainer } func processRemoteStoreChange() async { print("\(#function) called on \(Date.now.formatted(date: .abbreviated, time: .standard)).") } } where the processRemoteStoreChange method would be called by when a new notification is received (AsyncSequence): notificationListenerTask = Task { let notifications = NotificationCenter.default.notifications(named: .NSPersistentStoreRemoteChange, object: container.persistentStoreCoordinator) for await _ in notifications { print("notificationListenerTask called on \(Date.now.formatted(date: .abbreviated, time: .standard)).") await self.storeListener?.processRemoteStoreChange() } }

When we request the current entitlements for a user using the Transaction.currentEntitlements static method, does StoreKit provide transactions for subscriptions with a Product.SubscriptionInfo.RenewalState set to .inGracePeriod or only .subscribed? I'm asking because as a developer we need to give access to content to a user if its subscription is in .inGracePeriod. So in my opinion, the user is still entitled to this subscription. I've not found any information in the documentation, WWDC videos or Apple sample codes. The documentation explains The latest transaction for each active auto-renewable subscription Is .inGracePeriod considered an active subscription?

When dealing with auto-renewable subscriptions, there are multiple ways to access the latest transaction. We can access it when a purchase is made, or we can request the latest transaction for a given productID at a later time. To do so, we can use Transaction.latest(for:), access the transaction history using Transaction.all, get the currentEntitlements, or use the array of Product.SubscriptionInfo.Statusthan contains the latest transaction for a subscription group. It's also necessary to listen to transactions when the app is running using the AsyncSequenceTransaction.updates`. In my app (and also in the SKDemo project from Apple), when I want to access the latest transaction as soon as the app is launched, it's missing the transactions that renewed or happened while the app was not running. I tried using the different methods mentioned above but they never give me the latest transaction, always the latest transaction while the app was running before I killed it. I have to wait for a new renewal event to receive the latest transaction in the Transaction.updates listener, which is not good. For example, when I set the Subscription Renewal Rate to Monthly Renewal Every 30 seconds, and I quit the app when the latest transactionId is 100, I wait for 5 minutes, I expect to see the transactionId 110 but I see 100. In the real life, it means that if the app is not running when a monthly or annual subscription renews, I have to wait weeks or months to receive the missing transaction. I thought that the Transaction.updates listener would be called at launch with all the transactions that occurred while the app was not running. Is that a bug in Xcode or have I misunderstood something? How can I access the real latest transaction that happened when the app was not running at launch? I need to access that to know what the user has access to. I think the transaction management panel from Xcode displays all the transactions, even the one when the app was not running. PS: I'm using Xcode 13.2.1 and iOS 15.0 (simulator). Transaction.updates is not working on iOS 15.2 (my device, or simulator) from what I've seen so far.

I'm using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer with Core Data and I receive errors because my iCloud space is full. The errors printed are the following: <CKError 0x280df8e40: "Quota Exceeded" (25/2035); server message = "Quota exceeded"; op = 61846C533467A5DF; uuid = 6A144513-033F-42C2-9E27-693548EF2150; Retry after 342.0 seconds>. I want to inform the user about this issue, but I can't find a way to access the details of the error. I'm listening to NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.eventChangedNotification, I receive a error of type .partialFailure. But when I want to access the underlying errors, the partialErrorsByItemID property on the error is nil. How can I access this Quota Exceeded error? import Foundation import CloudKit import Combine import CoreData class SyncMonitor { fileprivate var subscriptions = Set<AnyCancellable>() init() { NotificationCenter.default.publisher(for: NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.eventChangedNotification) .sink { notification in if let cloudEvent = notification.userInfo?[NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.eventNotificationUserInfoKey] as? NSPersistentCloudKitContainer.Event { guard let ckerror = cloudEvent.error as? CKError else { return } print("Error: \(ckerror.localizedDescription)") if ckerror.code == .partialFailure { guard let errors = ckerror.partialErrorsByItemID else { return } for (_, error) in errors { if let currentError = error as? CKError { print(currentError.localizedDescription) } } } } } // end of sink .store(in: &subscriptions) } }

I'm not a member of any Family in iCloud. I want to understand what happens when a user is subscribed through Family Sharing but also how to use StoreKit when the user is subscribed twice: as an individual who purchased the product and as a member of a family when the purchase is shared with him. How can I test Family Sharing for an app offering a product with Family Sharing enabled? Is it possible to create a fake Family in App Store Connect and add testers to it?

Let's imagine an app with two plans, one for individual (level of service 2) and one for family (level of service 1). If a user is subscribed as an individual, but if someone in his family shares a family plan with him, will Transaction.currentEntitlements show both subscriptions? Or only the transaction where the user is the owner (in this case the individual subscription)?
