Posting here for wider visibility... All over the internet, apple discussions, etc. Seems that this is affecting thousands of people but apparently not millions...othewise we'd have a fix by now. This started showing up in iOS 18 beta and then continued into 18.0, 18.1, and now 18.2 Symptoms are unable to retrieve emails from IMAP mail server. Some have mentioned Dovecot IMAP server. This author happens to have Dovecot IMAP and yes, once iOS 18.0, 18.x was installed, email sync no longer works.

I'm trying to implement a Help Window from Help Menu in macOS (Mac Catalyst). I have SceneConfiguration in Info.plist and multi-window enabled. Tapping Help menu opens a new Help Window on macOS. I thought it was working great! Unfortunately, tapping Help menu again opens a new Help Window. I only want one Help window to be shown. I expected UIApplication.shared.activateSceneSession(for: request) to use an existing UIScene if one was already present. In my experience I always get a new Scene and thus a new Window. What am I missing? AppDelegate.swift func application(_ application: UIApplication, configurationForConnecting connectingSceneSession: UISceneSession, options: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) -> UISceneConfiguration { // It's important that each UISceneConfiguration have a unique configuration name. var configurationName: String! switch options.userActivities.first?.activityType { case UserActivity.HelpMenuActivityType: configurationName = SceneConfiguration.helpWindowConfiguration default: configurationName = SceneConfiguration.defaultConfiguration } return UISceneConfiguration(name: configurationName, sessionRole: connectingSceneSession.role) } override func buildMenu(with builder: UIMenuBuilder) { super.buildMenu(with: builder) ... builder.remove(menu: .help) builder.insertSibling(helpMenu(), afterMenu: .window) } func helpMenu() -> UIMenu { let children: [UIAction] = [ UIAction(... ) { [weak self] action in self?.helpMenuTappedHandler(action) } ] .... } func helpMenuTappedHandler(_ action: UIAction) { let userActivity: NSUserActivity = ... userActivity.targetContentIdentifier = ... let options: UIScene.ActivationRequestOptions = .init() options.requestingScene = ... let request: UISceneSessionActivationRequest = .init(role: .windowApplication, userActivity: userActivity, options: options) UIApplication.shared.activateSceneSession(for: request, errorHandler: handleHelpError) }

I submitted a Mac Catalyst app for TestFlight and before it can be tested by external testers it requires an App Review. The iOS app passed review, but the Mac Catalyst app failed review. The rejection reason given was that App Sandbox needed the entitlement: "com.apple.security.network.client" to be YES / true (not false). I do have "com.apple.security.device.bluetooth" set to YES / true. The Developer docs for entitlement "com.apple.security.network.client" say "Use this key to allow your sandboxed app to connect to a server process running on another machine, or on the same machine." for entitlement "com.apple.security.network.client", then go on to discuss TCP and UDP. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/security/app_sandbox While technically a Bluetooth app connecting to another Bluetooth device puts the app in "client mode" and the device in "server mode", I think this network entitlement was intended for TCP / UDP, not Bluetooth. The entitlement "com.apple.security.device.bluetooth" says "A Boolean value indicating whether your app may interact with Bluetooth devices." - this seems to cover all the necessary needs for Bluetooth "your app may interact with Bluetooth devices"..... Would someone at Apple familiar with the docs please clarify what entitlements are required for an app that only uses Bluetooth? If the "com.apple.security.network.client" is required, then I believe the docs for that property should also specify Bluetooth.

&TLDR; I see no documentation stating that during the life of UISplitViewController, that I cannot call setViewController(xxxxx, column) more than once on the same column. Yet in my experience calling it a second time does not work, unless I set the value to nil before calling it again to set it to the new value... I'm using a UISplitViewController in newer column-style layout and when bootstrapping the app, I create the UISplitViewController and use setViewController(primaryViewController, .primary) and setViewController(detailViewController, .secondary). In order to use the primaryViewController for the compact scenario, I return the .primary column in the UISplitViewControllerDelegate method: splitViewController(_ svc: UISplitViewController, topColumnForCollapsingToProposedTopColumn proposedTopColumn: UISplitViewController.Column) -> UISplitViewController.Column Tapping a cell in the primaryViewController, results in a call to splitViewController.show(.secondary) This works for both split view (primary + secondary) as well as in compact mode. Tapping a cell in the secondary viewController results in pushing a new sub-detail onto the navigation sack. Again so far so good. If I switch back to split mode (primary+secondary) it still looks good with secondary showing the sub-detail. If I then collapse into compact view, the primary is once again shown. If I tap a different cell in the primary, the same call to: splitViewController.show(.secondary) results in the sub-detail viewController being shown. Instead, I want the secondary to show the detail for the new selected cell...not the sub-detail of the prior cell. To fix this, I popped the navigation stack for the secondary to rootViewController if secondaryNavigationController.topViewController as? DetailViewController == nil { secondaryNavigationController.popToRootViewController(animated: false) next, I attempted to replace splitViewController's secondary viewController by assigning the secondaryNavigationController which now has the DetailViewController as the top (and only) viewController. splitViewController.setViewController(secondaryNavigationController, for: .secondary) after this assignment, calling splitViewController.viewController(for: .secondary) returns the old sub-detail viewController, not the expected DetailViewController! IMO this is a bug. I found the following solution. First set it to nil, then set it to the desired value. splitViewController.setViewController(nil, for: .secondary) splitViewController.setViewController(secondaryNavigationController, for: .secondary)

My child has been learning Swift within the Swift Playgrounds but getting pretty bored with "collecting gems". I decided to purchase a Sphero RVR because it has infinite possibilities and can grow with child's coding skills. I also heard from a Sphero source that the RVR would connect and work with Swift Playgrounds. Upon unboxing I launched Swift Playgrounds, subscribed to Sphero's template and tapped "Connect to Robot". Much to my disappointment it did not find nor connect to the RVR. It does not even appear in the bluetooth discovery section of the iPad Pro. I did download Sphere's EDU app and was successful to find and connect to the Sphero RVR, however I want child to continue with Swift, not switch to block programming nor javascript just yet. Any advice to get Swift Playgrounds and Sphero RVR connected? This is a huge EDU opportunity with some cool hardware!
