How to send x,y data from HIDStylusDriver to StylusApp to Pen/Draw
Here is project I am researching: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/hiddriverkit/handling_stylus_input_from_a_human_interface_device I have a Touch screen and I want: can control this screen, I can enable extension and control Touch screen successfully. can pen on this screen. To do this, I need to send X,Y to StylusApp(AppKit) But I Can not send X, Y to Swift StylusApp Eventhough I can log X,Y it by default code: But I don't know how to send it to AppKit to Pen. I have research about communicate Driver and Client: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit/communicating_between_a_driverkit_extension_and_a_client_app#4324306 but seem HID driver don't support inheritance from IOUserClient:

Change or Add USB Vendor ID in entitlement
In my account, there is already a driver kit usb transport vendor id(4070) in the Identifiers capability . I posted a new request for new usb vendor id(14203) , and there are now 2 driver kit usb transport vendor id entitlement in the account's identifiers, one is for old id (4070), another is not for new id(14203). so how can I add a new usb vendor id ? or change the old one?

NetworkDriverKit sample app problem
Hi, I'm trying to test "https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkingdriverkit/connecting_a_network_driver" on MacBook Pro M3 with 14.5 Sonoma, XCode 15.4, SIP is disabled. Build steps are succesful, after running App, "Install Dext" is succesful, there is no error in XCode; "systemextensionctl list" show a record for "com.apple.system_extension.driver_extension" with [ activated enabled ] tag. But, "ioreg" doesn't show any service for the dext; and no new interface with name "enXX" appears in System Settings in contrast to what the document describes. In addition, seldomly my device experiences crash when the dext remains installed where crash report points "IOReg" function. I tried also Driver Kit Sample ( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit/driverkit_sample_code ) and a github project based on this sample having last commits 9 months ago. However, Dext installation reveals similar behavior and "Communicate with Dext" step is unsuccessful with the message "Driver is not connected". Is there an updated version of Networking Driver Kit documentation to reach a running sample app for Sonoma 14.5? Thanks.

NetworkingDriverKitSampleApp "driver is not connected".
Hi, I'm trying to test the NetworkingDriverKitSampleApp at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkingdriverkit/connecting_a_network_driver for a while but I couldn't reach the final steps described in the documentation. My setup: Xcode 15.4, MacBook Pro M3 with Sonoma 14.5, SIP is disabled. I prepared the required provisinning profiles with required entitelements. Dext and app builds successfully. Build path starts with "/Applications". "Install Dext" operation is successful without any error after allowing necessary permission. However, neither System Settings shows any new enXX interface, nor ioreg command shows a registered service while "systemextensionctl list" shows the expected result as a com.apple.system_extension.driver_extension record with [ activated enabled ]. I repeated the same steps for "Driver Kit Sample" at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit/driverkit_sample_code, "Install Dext" step succesful but "Communicate With Dext" results in "Driver is not connected" message. Similar to previous project, ioreg doesn't show any service for the dext while systemextensionctl lists [activeted enabled]. I also test an updated version of DriverKitSample at https://github.com/DanBurkhardt/DriverKitUserClientSample, which reproduced the same results. Finally, my device experiences seldom crashes after passing sleep state when the dext remains installed; where crash report points "IOReg". Is there any lacking steps on Apple documentation for Sonoma 14.5 or XCode 15.4 versions? Thanks.

Build DriverKit in projects with a test plan
I'm trying to build an XCode project that contains an app and another target for the DriverKit, and run into the following linker issue: ld: file cannot be open()ed, errno=2 path=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/15.0.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.profile_driverkit.a in '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/15.0.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.profile_driverkit.a' clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) My project has Code Coverage enabled. I noticed that if I disabled Code Coverage for all targets, I would be able to build successfully, and the driverKit would work as expected. I wonder if it would be possible to build DriverKit without disabling code coverage. Thanks

Will special entitlements like Screentime API remain valid when transferring an app?
Certain entitlements require special permission from Apple like DriverKit or Screentime API/Family controls. Those entitlements are tied to the bundle IDs of the app. If those entitlements have been granted for an app from developer A (personal account) and we transfer that app to developer B (organization account), including the bundle IDs, will those bundle IDs keep the entitlement? Or will we need to re-request from the developer account B? Any insights or experiences regarding this process would be greatly appreciated.

How to implement NVMESMARTLib for USB-NVMe bridge chip?
Many USB storage devices are NVMe devices accessed through a USB-NVMe bridge chip, such as those by JMicron and Asmedia. These chipsets do not forward SMART data requests to the devices, but do have the capability to forward raw NVMe commands to the devices using vendor specific requests. How can we provide access to SMART data for NVMe devices accessed through a bridge chip like this? Many people used the OSX SAT SMART kext driver to provide access to SMART data for devices using USB-SATA chips, but it is a kext and doesn't support NVMe. See https://binaryfruit.com/drivedx/usb-drive-support#install-instructions Would we need to implement a kext like that to make this work? Is there a DriverKit way to do this?

"SYSTEM EXTENSION" entitlements in framework
Hello everyone! I'm developing framework and app for macOS for PCI devices. For communication with driverkit, I'm verifying by giving userclient access entities of system extension to app. However, the app is just a sample program, and our customer is trying to develop the app using a framework with PCI communication part. Is there a way to build a framework with my company's signature, and to build and execute it without acquiring userclient access elements by any chance by a customer developer? Moreover, userclient access is only available to developers who have subscribed to the Apple Developer Program, so I hope that client/developers do not need to obtain separate entries.

Apple store connect requests sandbox entitlement for the PCI DriverKit System Extension
Hi, I have a PCI DriverKit System Extension project that our team has tested, and the entitlements are not a problem. Once we decided to place the project to the Apple Store the review team requested to add "App Sandbox" entitlement to the project. Then I added the entitlement manually to the ".entitlements" file ( I couldn't do that using the Xcode add entitlement section because since it is a driverkit project, the "App sandbox" is not visible in the entitlements page ) and re-packaged the project for distribution. Later on, I saw that the entitlement was removed during the packaging process. I also tried to add that using the "build settings" page in Xcode (the signing section ), but I had no luck. I feel like I'm being misled by the review team. Do you know if the "App sandbox" entitlement is applicable to a DriverKit project ?

on-line entitlement format to obtain relevant "transport.usb|idVendor"
The situation: 1A) On last week our development team applied on-line for three idVendors with the format as the following: USB-VendorID: 547h(1351), 3488h(13448),4B4h(1204) Describe your apps: it shall be functional equivalence of existing Android-SDK for X-ray sensor-models:...with 15..25 text lines of the description below 1B) We received auto-reply, that we granted all the the entitlements. We've expected to have entitlements like approx like the these: <key>com.apple.developer.driverkit.transport.usb</key> <array> <dict> <key>idVendor</key> <integer>1351</integer> </dict> <dict> <key>idVendor</key> <integer>131448</integer> </dict> <dict> <key>idVendor</key> <integer>1204</integer> </dict> </array> 1C) Unexpectingly (for us) ASCII-strings-fragment from our iOS-target-binary "com.rayence.dexta.driver" (built with automatic signing; seemingly this shall be our actual granted prvisionintg profile) looks as the next: <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.driverkit</key> <true/><key>com.apple.developer.driverkit.transport.usb</key> <array><dict> <key>idVendor</key> <string>*</string> </dict></array> </dict> 1D) Repectively, now we shall specify (in our dext's entitlements in XCOde-project) <key>com.apple.developer.driverkit.transport.usb</key> <array> <dict> <key>idVendor</key> <string>*</string> </dict> </array> In DExt's info.plist we have "normal": <key>IOKitPersonalities</key> <dict> <key>IOKitPersonality_EzHD</key> <dict> blah-blah <key>idVendor</key><integer>1351</integer> <key>IOKitPersonality_EzR</key> <dict> blah-blah <key>idVendor</key><integer>131448</integer> <key>IOKitPersonality_EzR</key> <dict> blah-blah <key>idVendor</key><integer>1204</integer> blah-blah Our ambiguities: 2a) Without exact "1D)", our DExt-installer-application never starts in iPAD. OS-loader generates obectievly-meaningless error-messages and seemingly-meaninglessly suggest to look "system-logs" (which seemingly don't contain relevant information) 2b) With exatct "1D)", 2ba) the reaction (presence/absence and timing of relevant console.app's messages) of our iPAD 17.4 on plugging/unplugging our gadgets look "non-logical". It isn't completly wrong but suspicious. E.g. our Swift-module randomly receive/dontreceive relevant events and can't connect communicate driver's instance for newly-attached physical gadgets. We realize, thses it could be our bugs; but we need disambiguation to debug the issues (or at least to be sure that the quirks are like in production system). 2bd) we would prefer debug/develop rather with real "idVendor=number nnn"s in provisioning profile (than with "idVendor=string *"). So we could be sure that quircs "2ba" are like in a production system. Respective question: Which format in on-line application ~1A) shall we use to obtain provisioning profile 1B)

DriverKit CompleteAsyncIO callback
I'm trying to make an asynchronous bulk data read using AsyncIO/CompleteAsyncIO. The problem I'm facing is that the AsyncIO succeeds but CompleteAsyncIO/ReadComplete doesn't get called when the AsyncIO's completion timeout is set to 0. Changing the completion timeout to a non-zero would trigger ReadComplete but I keep getting the (0x2d6) "I/O Timeout" error Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Also, is there any limit for the maximum buffer length the callback can accept? Thanks. struct MyDriver_IVars { OSAction* callbackAction = nullptr; // registered callback action by app IOUSBHostInterface* interface; IOUSBHostPipe* pipe; IOBufferMemoryDescriptor* inDataBuffer; OSAction* ioCompleteCallback = nullptr; // read complete callback action uint32_t MAX_LENGTH = 1024; }; kern_return_t IMPL(MyDriver, Start){ //........... ret = ivars->interface->CopyPipe(endpoint->bEndpointAddress, &ivars->pipe); ret = ivars->interface->CreateIOBuffer(kIOMemoryDirectionInOut, ivars->MAX_LENGTH, &ivars->inDataBuffer); ret = CreateActionReadComplete(ivars->MAX_LENGTH, &ivars->ioCompleteCallback); //........... } kern_return_t MyDriver::ReadData(int nbytes, int timeout) { //........... kern_return_t ret = ivars->pipe->AsyncIO(ivars->inDataBuffer, ivars->MAX_LENGTH, ivars->ioCompleteCallback, 0); //........... } void IMPL(MyDriver, ReadComplete) { Log("ReadComplete() - status - %d; bytes count - %d", status, actualByteCount); //AsyncCompletion(ivars->callbackAction, .................. } virtual void ReadComplete(OSAction* action, IOReturn status, uint32_t actualByteCount, uint64_t completionTimestamp) TYPE(IOUSBHostPipe::CompleteAsyncIO);

How to distribute a DriverKit extension to third parties developing on iOS
Hello, We're developing a framework that needs to talk to a camera on iOS. We've written a Driverkit Extension to enable this but we're having trouble working out how to distribute this to third parties. We have to specify the application's bundle id in the driverkit's bundle ID. But as far as I can tell that means if there are multiple consumers, they each need their own specially built driverkit extension. For MacOS, we can see an entitlement that allow any 'user client' to connect to our driverkit extension. But from what I can tell, that doesn't seem to be the same for iOS. Am I missing something? Or is it expected that we should have to build a new driverkit extension with a different bundle ID for every app that every third party wants to develop? Let me know if I'm missing too much context, thanks in advance!

DriverKit: embedded.mobileprofile has the wildcard USB Vendor ID instead of my assigned Vendor ID
I've added my Vendor ID to the appropriate entitlement files but my binary fails validation when trying to upload it to the store for distribution. The embeded.mobileprovision file in the generated archive shows an asterisk instead of my approved Vendor ID. How can I make sure the embedded provisioning file has my Vendor ID?

How to distribute a own developed library and DriverKit driver (dext) to any other Mac platform without disabling SIP?
We have developed a library and a DriverKit driver on Mac platform. And we need to disable SIP to install dext and later point of time if we enable SIP then the dext is non functional. So is it mandatory to disable the SIP for whole life time of dext? Also it is not recommended to disable the SIP for a long time, as it may create a security hole. Standard ways are given on Apple support page that how to notarise an application to distribute over the internet. Here one mandatory account is required that is Apple Developer account which is a paid account we believe. Standing at this point can you share the complete steps of software distribution process which will include code signing, notarisation process and stapling.

Kernel Panic triggered by PCIe DriverKit Extension
My company has been developing a DriverKit Extension for our ThunderBolt attached devices. Our testing has gone well on Intel based machines but it seems to be able to cause kernel panics on my M1/M2 Mac when click "Allow" in Privacy & Security. It always crash immediately.

How to identify applications when using com.apple.developer.driverkit.allow-any-userclient-access in DEXT
In the process of accessing DEXT by applications, for the sake of simplicity in configuration, I used com.apple.developer.driverkit.allow-any-userclient-access in DEXT. However, for the sake of security in DEXT, I want to identify applications within DEXT and restrict access only to applications developed by my own team. How can this be implemented? Are there any APIs in DEXT that can be used to obtain information about applications for identification purposes? Thanks!

App Sandbox entitlement stripped from dext by Xcode?
I have a macOS app which contains a dext. I'd like to distribute it to external testers using TestFlight, so it has to pass Mac App Store review. It failed, because the App Sandbox entitlement was missing. I checked the app, it has the entitlement, but the dext does not. However, the .entitlements file used by the dext does contain App Sandbox set to true. I tried adding a "fake-entitlement" value to the .entitlements file, and that made it into the dext's code signature, but the App Sandbox entitlement appears to be stripped out by the build process? For a dext target, it isn't possible to add the App Sandbox capability in Xcode's Signing and Capability section. I have to add the entitlement manually in the .entitlement file (or it was put there by the Xcode driver template, I don't remember). I've tried clean building several times, I've tried Xcode 15.0.1, 15.2 and 15.3, but the result is always the same. I'm inspecting the entitlements using codesign -dvvv --entitlements - Does anyone know what I can do to put the App Sandbox entitlement into my dext's signature? Is this happening to anyone else?

Settings bundle for DEXT loading app does not display content.
I have an app that loads a DEXT (driver). This app includes a settings bundle that allows me to activate/deactivate the driver. When I issue the API call to activate the driver, iOS switches to the Settings app and displays the page for my DEXT loading application but the switch to enable the driver, which is part of my settings bundle, does not appear. I'm using this API call: OSSystemExtensionRequest.activationRequest(forExtensionWithIdentifier: "driver-id", queue: .main) Here are the contents of my settings bundle Root.plist: ` Here are the contents of my Root.strings file: "Group" = "Group"; "Name" = "Name"; "none given" = "none given"; "Enabled" = "Enabled";

How to properly convert any size of application memory into the kernel space of Driverkit?
Hardware and software configuration MacBook Air M2 2022 16GB, MacOS Ventura 13.2.1 Full description This is a DriverKit that controls PCIE FPGA devices for low-latency data exchange. This driver has been implemented on Iokit, and now it needs to be launched on Driverkit to adapt to newer Macs. Driverkit lacks the IOMemoryDescriptor::withAddressRange(Iokit) function to convert the app's memory of any size to a Descriptor. Currently, we use args->structureOutputDescriptor->CreateMapping to map the Descriptor passed by the application to the kernel layer. // App size_t ***::xxRead(long long addr, size_t size, void * buff){ std::lock_guard<std::mutex> guard(usrLock); kern_return_t kr; uint64_t info[2] = {(uint64_t)addr, (uint64_t)size}; kr = IOConnectCallMethod( connect, kUserReadIO, info, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, buff, &size); return size; } // Driverkit const IOUserClientMethodDispatch sMethods[kNumMethods] = { [kUserReadIO] = { (IOUserClientMethodFunction) &SmiPcieUc::sUserReadIo, .checkCompletionExists = false, .checkScalarInputCount = 2, // Read Addr, size .checkStructureInputSize = 0, .checkScalarOutputCount = 0, .checkStructureOutputSize = kIOUserClientVariableStructureSize} // Read Data }; kern_return_t SmiPcieUc::sUserReadIo (OSObject * target, void* reference, IOUserClientMethodArguments* args){ IOMemoryMap * memMap = nullptr; uint32_t * buffKptr = nullptr; kern_return_t rt = 0; if(target == nullptr){ Log("***Err***: sUserReadIo Target is Null!"); return kIOReturnError; } if(args->structureOutputDescriptor){ rt = args->structureOutputDescriptor->CreateMapping(0,0,0,0,0, &memMap); if(rt == kIOReturnSuccess){ buffKptr = reinterpret_cast<uint32_t *>(memMap->GetAddress()); } else { Log("***Err***: sUserReadIo Mapping Failed!"); return kIOReturnNoMemory; } } else { buffKptr = (uint32_t *) args->structureOutput; } rt = ((SmiPcieUc *)target)->UserReadIo((uint64_t *)&args->scalarInput[0], (size_t *)&args->scalarInput[1], buffKptr); OSSafeReleaseNULL(memMap); return rt; } phenomenon When StructureOutputSize is greater than 4096, args>structureOutputDescriptor exists, and when it is less than or equal to 4096, args->structureOutputDescriptor and args->structureOutput are both equal to nullptr, (in IOkit, args->structureOutput is not empty)。 How to properly convert any size of application memory into the kernel space of Driverkit?
