I have a Safari extension which allows the user to load their own homepage upon opening a new tab. The extension works by retrieving the homepage URL from UserDefaults and then redirecting to it using window.location.replace. In iOS 18, if the homepage is unable to be loaded due to, for example the user having no internet connection, Safari will go into an rapid loading loop, which eventually stops after a while. This is unlike iOS 17, where trying to reproduce the same scenario will end up with a Safari error page, which should be the expected behaviour. In short, instead of Safari going into an infinite loading loop, it should display a Safari error page like iOS 17 does. As this issue is only happening on iOS 18, I am almost certain it's an iOS bug and would appreciate if this can be fixed as soon as possible. I have created a Feedback Assistant report with ID FB15853821, which contains a sysdiagnose file from my iPhone 16 Pro, as well as two videos, one from my iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 18.2 beta 3 and the other video showing a comparison between iOS 18 and 17. Both videos first show the extension functioning correctly with an active internet connection, but when I disable my internet, the iOS 18 Safari goes into an infinite loop. Here are the steps to reproduce the issue: Download the Homepage for Safari app from the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/homepage-for-safari/id6481118559 Enter any valid homepage URL, such as https://apple.com and tap Save Go to Settings -> Apps -> Safari -> Extensions -> Homepage and enable the extension Make sure Open New Tabs is set to “Homepage” Turn off both WiFi and cellular data and attempt to open a new tab in Safari Please note that this also happens with iOS 18.2 beta 4.

I use the write-review query parameter in my App Store URL to bring up the review prompt in the App Store app: https://apps.apple.com/app/id0123456789?action=write-review (0123456789 is just an example ID, obviously replace that with your app ID) This is exactly what is supposed to be done as per the documentation: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/requesting_app_store_reviews#4312600 However, on macOS it just opens the product page as if I never put the query parameter in the URL. It works fine on iOS 18.2. I am using macOS 15.2 beta 3 (24C5079e) Feedback ID: FB15866683

I noticed I can no longer view the last 24 hours in sales and trends, the option has been replaced with “Yesterday” which shows nothing. Is this intentional or a bug?

The simulator should support the new Siri Ul and Apple Intelligence features, at least they should work if Apple Intelligence is enabled on the Mac itself. Feedback ID: FB15699827

I'm trying to disable Writing Tools for a specific TextField using .writingToolsBehavior(.disabled), but when running the app on my iPhone 16 Pro with Apple Intelligence enabled, I can still use Writing Tools on the text box. I also see no difference with .writingToolsBehavior(.limited). Is there something I'm doing wrong or is this a bug? Sample code below: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State var text = "" var body: some View { VStack { TextField("Enter Text", text: $text) .writingToolsBehavior(.disabled) } .padding() } } #Preview { ContentView() }

I integrated the image playground sheet in my app, however when I select Take Photo on the iOS version of my app it just reloads the sheet. After several attempts I get the below error message. This issue doesn’t occur on the macOS version of my app, where it first requests camera permission before allowing me to take the photo. I’m not sure if this is happening because I don’t request the camera permission anywhere in my app. My app doesn’t use the camera at all apart from the Take Photo feature which is part of the image playground sheet.

Ever since updating both my iPhone and iPad to iOS 18.1 beta 7, they simply won't connect to Xcode 16.1 beta 3. When connecting via cable, Xcode gets stuck on preparing for 5 to 10 mins and then outputs the below error: The developer disk image could not be mounted on this device.

This is a follow up to my previous post, this time using the visionOS 1.2 simulator and Xcode 15.4. I am trying to set the background colour of my app shortcut platter for the visionOS version using NSAppIconComplementingColorNames but it doesn’t take effect when I check the shortcuts app. I see the built in Music Recognition app has a background colour but I am unable to set one for my app. Please note that this feature is working correctly on iOS. But on visionOS it has no effect and returns a plain background. I noticed the documentation doesn't mention it works on visionOS. But if that's the case how was the music recognition app able to set a colour?

In iOS 18, internal extension pages cannot navigate to external webpages, either via href links or through JS methods such as window.location.replace. Nothing happens when you try to navigate to an external webpage. Only other internal pages can be navigated to. This wasn't an issue on previous versions of iOS. It would be appreciated if this can be fixed as soon as possible. Feedback ID: FB14194963

On Xcode 15.4, LAContext.biometryType had an @available attribute of visionOS 1.0. However, in Xcode 16, the @available attribute for biometryType was changed to a visionOS 2.0 minimum requirement, preventing the app from building if the minimum deployment target is earlier than visionOS 2.0. This was the attribute on Xcode 15.4: This is the attribute on Xcode 16: Feedback ID: FB13824190

On both the iOS 18 beta 3 and iPadOS 18 beta 3 simulators, the customise button in home screen edit mode does nothing. I can check the dark mode icons by toggling the system appearance, but as the customise menu doesn’t work there is no way to check the tinted icons on the simulator. Feedback ID: FB14422030

I am seeing blank data after 4am when viewing the last 24 hours graph. I remember a while ago it showed me data past 4am but now the graph is suddenly showing no data after 4am. Are there any issues with the data shown on sales and trends at the moment?

I used to be able to show my app's icon in the UI using this code: if let icon = UIImage(named: "AppIcon") { Image(uiImage: icon) .resizable() .frame(width: 64, height: 64) .cornerRadius(10) } But this doesn't work when building with Xcode 16 and iOS 18 SDK. How can I show my app's icon in the UI without resorting to duplicating the asset?

Before I launched my app, I ran a TestFlight beta program and also included a one time purchase in the TestFlight build to test the functionality. Now that the app is available in the App Store, I had closed the TestFlight program, but am looking to reopen it again to test iOS 18 specific features. The issue is, the beta testers that previously purchased the IAP on TestFlight but didn't actually purchase the IAP on the App Store version would be able to use the paid features of the app for free as long as they have the TestFlight build. Therefore I would like to revoke all the purchases made via the TestFlight build. Is there any way to do that?

I have a native SwiftUI Mac app which is based off my iOS app and includes Core Data with iCloud sync. As per my understanding, when a user makes a change on one of the devices a remote notification is sent to the others. I have a widget which displays information from Core Data and the remote notification makes the widget update its information on the next timeline refresh without the user having to open the app manually. My question is, if an app is closed on macOS so it's not even running in the Dock, do remote notifications work? This page says "the delegate receives this message when the application is running and a remote notification arrives for it". Does that mean the app won't receive remote CloudKit notifications when closed on macOS?
