Our team has recently added support to our app for Live Activities where the source of the data is driven from the app itself (not push notifications). We've noticed a crash happening in our core data code caused by the following error thrown by the addPersistentStore function where it would attempt to recover and eventually crash. Here's an error we created to help us debug that contains the error details: Domain: CoreData Code: 1 NSLocalizedDescription: Error performing migration for databaseName=mydb.sqlite. Error details=The file couldn’t be saved because you don’t have permission. - userinfo: ["reason": No permissions to create file; code = 1] After some trouble shooting, we managed to reproduce the issue by doing a hard reboot while we're running a live activity. It appears that when the device starts back up, the Live Activity starts which triggers the app to hit didFinishLaunchingWithOptions which is where we get our Core Data store initialized. The problem is that our app uses Data Protection using NSFileProtectionCompleteUntilFirstUserAuthentication and we'd prefer to keep it that way. The Core Data db is present in the app sandbox and we're also seeing logs to suggest a failure trying to access NSUserDefaults as well. Is there an accepted solution for this? Is it expected that a Live Activity would cause an application to launch prior to the device being unlocked for the first time? Is there a way to change that?

My phone gets very hot and then turns on and off, and it's been crashing a lot lately

After iOS beta 2. download in iPhone 12 touch not work properly. Please fix this issue and please understand my problem. It’s a difficult problem for me. Please fix this issue as soon as possible.

This is the worse service, Developer support do not respond its been 2 months and I cant even put the app live and am losing a lot of business, I can’t go live with this problem. We have been trying to change this account type from individual to business. This is frustrating, What kind of support that do not respond to their customers, Android fixed this long time, I can’t go live with this , I am even struggling to get the DNS number. What does one has to do here to get help, Honestly . So disappointed on apple support Sindi

it is normal that my phone restarts approximately every 5 minutes

I'm looking for a solution to install a binary on a macOS system where System Integrity Protection (SIP) is enabled, and the target installation location is protected by SIP. I need to achieve this without booting into recovery mode to disable SIP. Is there any method to achieve this, such as by creating separate packages that can handle SIP-protected locations, developing or using installer applications capable of navigating SIP constraints, leveraging specific entitlements or permissions to facilitate the installation, or utilising Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions for deployment? If anyone has experience or insights on any reliable ways to accomplish this, please share any detailed steps, tools, or best practices that could be useful.

Anyone download this yet and have your system data **** up in size? Lesson learned to never download beta of anything. Can barely work in Xcode 16 now, another beta I should not have downloaded :/ Anyway to reduce this size of system data properly? Thanks!

Hi there, From "Platforms State of the Union" Video macOS section I know macOS has new API of user space file system and iPhone mirroring, and delivers new APIs including user space file system support and major improvements to MapKit. But I lookup the API diff, I don't find any added API. Where can I find the user space file system API ? I really want to develop an APP which need user space file system API.

I'm using a file descriptor to write into a file. I've encountered a problem where if the underlying file is removed or recreated, the file descriptor becomes unstable. I have no reliable way to confirm if it's writing on the expected file. let url = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/path/") try FileManager.default.removeItem(at: url) FileManager.default.createFile(atPath: url.path, contents: .empty) let filePath = FilePath(url.path) var fileDescriptor = try FileDescriptor.open(filePath, .readWrite) // The file is recreated - may be done from a different process. try FileManager.default.removeItem(at: url) // L9 FileManager.default.createFile(atPath: url.path, contents: .empty) // L10 let dataToWrite = Data([1,1,1,1]) try fileDescriptor.writeAll(dataToWrite) // L13 let dataWritten = try Data(contentsOf: url) print(dataToWrite == dataWritten) // false I would expect L13 to result in an error. Given it doesn't: Is there a way to determine where fileDescriptor is writing? Is there a way to ensure that fileDescriptor is writing the content in the expected filePath?

Hello, It is possible to encrypt a mac's hard-drive with Filevault. All home user folders are encrypted with the same encryption key. (This is the same encryption key for the whole hard-drive). This encryption key is encrypted with user password. But i don't understand how it works when there are multiple user accounts. Maybe there is a table: The same encryption key is stored several times (one per user account) ? Is there a way for a user to read the filevault encryption key ? Thanks

Hi, I’m developing a program which requires writing files to a volume mounted on a remote server. I've set up the volume on the server and shared a folder within there using a sharing-only account as a first test. The permissions are set to allow read and write for the sharing-only user in both the parent volume and the shared folder within it. However it will only let me access the directory over the network if I enable “Allow full disk access for all users” within the sharing settings in the server. What does this setting actually do? If I disable this option and then disable file sharing all together and then re-enable, it will switch that setting back on. It seems to tie in with the process smbd getting “full disk access” even though that process runs as root anyway. Allow full disk access for all users doesn't seem to grant my sharing-only user any more access than I’ve defined locally so I‘m really confused as to its use and why I need it for this to work. I’m on macOS Sonoma 14.4 for both systems.

I noticed that I have duplicate Apps on my iPhone! I've signed up for the Public Beta program, so this might be a feature/bug in the Beta. What I first noticed was that one of my apps showed up in the Doc (I don't remember putting it there) a few days ago, and in looking around, I still have the same app in a folder on my home screen. I thought this could be a nice feature allowing me quick access to it from the Dock and from my folder, but it wasn't the app that I'd want there. I thought I might be able to move it off the dock and back to the folder, but when I did that, the app showed up twice in the folder! I moved a different app to the dock, and it disappeared from the folder which is what I'd expect. So...if I delete 1 of the duplicates in the folder (or from the dock), will that delete both? Here you can see the Alula app in both the 'Remote Control' folder and the Dock: Here too (although the dock is fuzzy because the folder is open): I moved the app from the dock back to the folder, and now there are two there: Here's the Public Beta that I'm running

I have an ansible provisioner that is being triggered, but keeps failing because it cannot write a file out under /System/Volumes/Data/home. There are no files in that directory to clean up. When I do a df it shows that filesystem mount size as 0Bi. I ran the disk utility, but that did not resolve it either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is blocking my local development.

I'm currently trying to develop a transparent data encryption(TDE) system on MacOS 12.6.8. Our company has its own file encryption format. In order to facilitate safe and convenient file transfer between Windows and Mac platforms, we need to develop a TDE system on the Mac platform (on the Windows platform, we have developed such a system based on the Minifilter framework). I tried to implement this system using a MacFuse based file system and the Endpoint Security system extension, but found that this did not allow complete control of files on the Mac system. For example, when you use Finder to copy an encrypted file, the decrypted data will be copied out. I'm guessing this might be due to Finder or some other system process cache. By referring to the current product introductions of other companies, I learned that the current TDE systems on Mac systems are all based on kernel extension. But I noticed that Apple no longer encourages kernel extension development, and the Mac kernel has fewer and fewer APIs open to development. So I would like to ask is it still feasible to develop a TDE system based on the kernel extension?

Hi, so I have this case where I would like the user to pick a folder where they want to create a file/folder using UIDocumentPicker/Browser and I make the file using open() in cpp and use its fd to read/write to the file. Now, the first thing is I have to call startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() on the directory url, then I make the file, get its fd(file descriptor) and I leave this makefile() function. Every startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() needs to be matched with a stopstartAccessingSecurityScopedResource(). So my question is do I 'have' to call stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource() 'just before' calling close() on the fd. Or is it fine to call it after I have made the fd i.e., at the end of the makefile() function? In the tests I did it seems that once the fd is opened, even if stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource() is called on it(the directory), I can continue to read/write from the fd until I close() the fd?

My App Rejected 4.3 Design: Spam What does that mean exactly? I took extra pictures with the phone from the app and upload to APP Store and the same thing over and over again (Guideline 4.3 - Design - Spam) just the question Why don't you want to unlock it? what is spam? The APP Or the pictures? If the APP is spam why? That means One user cannot create two different websites with Various APP An e.g. I have a social network I want to do then a dating site On the dating app I only get a message saying it's spam Funny what's in an APP is spam? Because dating app? Or can a user not make multiple page APPs because it almost looks like this? Then that means BMW can't make new BMWs because the new BWM also has 4 doors and 4 wheels or how should I understand that? which is still funny on Google Play the same APP is not spam

I'm trying to use autofs to mount some macFUSE filesystems. However, autofs requires custom filesystems to provide /sbin/mount_* and this directory is not writable nor modifiable via synthentic.conf Using a launch agent or daemon is not desirable as there is a non-blocking delay before the filesystem gets mounted which causes a race condition. Is there any other option to let diskarbitrationd or autofs to automatically mount a macFUSE filesystem?
