I'm reaching out to see if anyone else is experiencing issues with the Live Caller ID feature on iOS. We recently encountered a problem where the feature stopped working entirely.
Here's a brief overview of the situation:
We were monitoring test traffic on our backend and noticed everything came to a halt around 1:00 AM UTC on November 15th.
After this time, any attempts to reach our backend through calls failed completely.
I tested this across multiple devices running iOS 18.2 and iOS 18.0.
I used both TestFlight builds and development builds via Xcode, which should communicate directly with our backend.
I experienced the problem on our main application as well as a dedicated test app.
To troubleshoot further, I even set up a local server on localhost and tried directing requests there, but the requests did not reach the local server when a call was received.
Further debugging in Console.app revealed the following error:
identity request returned error: Error Domain=com.apple.CipherML Code=400 "Error Domain=com.apple.CipherML Code=401 "Unable to request data by keywords batch: failed to fetch token issuer directory"
However, when I manually tried to hit our server endpoint using curl, the request successfully reached the server:
curl https://our_server/something
hb_method=GET hb_uri=/something [Hummingbird] Request -- log on backend
This suggests that while our backend is responsive, the requests from the iOS client side are simply not being initiated.

I’m encountering a problem with my iOS app with new Live Caller ID extension when uploading to TestFlight. Here’s what's happening:
When I try to upload the app to TestFlight without the NSExtensionPrincipalClass, I get the following error:
Missing Info.plist values. No values for NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass found in extension Info.plist for foo.app/PlugIns/bar.appex
However, if I include the NSExtensionPrincipalClass in the Info.plist of my extension, the app fails to launch on both the dev build and through TestFlight. The error message I receive is:
bar.appex with id <bundle_id> defines either an NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass key, which is not allowed for the extension point com.apple.live-lookup
Has anyone experienced a similar issue? How to fix it?
I've noticed delays with the Live Caller ID Lookup feature, taking around 3 to 6 seconds to complete, even on repeated lookups. This seems odd since there's no server activity during these repeats, suggesting the information might be coming from a cache. Most of the time, it’s fast, but there are cases when it's unexpectedly slow, and I haven’t quite figured out the pattern yet. Is anyone else seeing this issue?
FB number FB15372765 - with sysdiagnose and video demonstrating the delay.
Since upgrading to iOS 18, an issue has been observed where blocked incoming calls display "(null)" instead of the actual application name. At the time the calls defined by the same application contain the name of the application correctly.
