Hi, The company produces MFI-certified devices. A lot of users are affected. it happens when users are in the background. The crash happens in NSArray; it looks like the array is out of bounds to which EAAccessoryManager tries to access. The only assumption I have is that something is wrong with Threads. Maybe we are blocking a Thread somewhere, or EAAccessory should always work on the Main Thread but we switch streams to another thread. It is hard to believe that Apple could have such a simple bug. If it were Apple's bug, other companies who produce MFI devices could also experience the identical bug, but I don't see anyone raising the identical issue. The issues don't have a relation to iOS versions; it happens for us from iOS 13 till iOS 18. Thanks in advance, Eugene.

I have been playing around with the page layout on my IPad Pro and discovered that is is impossible to group apps if you leave an empty space in the page. I found the option fun to finally place my apps where i want and not just lined up from top to bottom. I discovered if you leave gaps in the page layout it is impossible to groupe apps. The moment you hover the app over the groupe, the groupe shifts back to fill the empty space. Once I filled up all the empty space then the groupe stops moving. It is pretty annoying. The was excited to see the new feature to finally hate it completely. I do hope someone will fix this problem.

We're trying to implement a backup/restore data feature in our business productivity iPad app using UIDocumentPickerViewController and AppleArchive, but discovered AppleArchive crashes instead of failing gracefully when decrypting a corrupt archive. As described in forum post 765101, UIDocumentPickerViewController can handoff a corrupt copy of an archive to UIDocumentPickerDelegate under specific circumstances. We've duplicated this behavior with iPadOS 16.6.1 and 17.7 when building our app with Xcode 15.4 targeting minimum deployment of iPadOS 16. We haven't tested this with the bleeding edge iPadOS 18. Our app is primarily Objective-C, but it utilizes the Swift-based AppleArchive 'EncryptingAndDecryptingDirectories' sample code associated with WWDC21 session: 10233: Bring Encrypted Archives and Performance Improvements to Your App with Accelerate. The WWDC21 'EncryptingAndDecryptingDirectories' Swift sample project crashes in a similar manner when a corrupt archive file created by UIDocumentPickerViewController is dropped into the sample app's window for decryption (see attached crash log). Does anyone know if there's a workaround for the 'EncryptingAndDecryptingDirectories' sample project to prevent AppleArchive from crashing when decrypting a corrupt archive? crash log.txt

Hai guys, I'm trying to do autofocus on the search input while user clicks the search icon but its not working as expected in iPhone and iPad so go through some blogs and stackoverflow they mentioned the apple has removed the focus() from touchable device for usablity reason is anyone come up with the same issue or having solution for this kindly share. That must be helpful for me.

iPadOS18 Tab Bar has been moved to top of screen. Everything looks ok when translucent=true. But there is an unwanted white space at bottom of screen when setting translucent=false. Is it iPadOS bug? See white area at bottom of attached screenshot.

Device name: iPhone 15 Pro Max Purchase date: January this year Usage: The following problems never occurred before upgrading to iOS18.1 beta4 and 5 Current system version: iOS 18.1 beta 5 (22B5054e) Current status: System stuck, unable to operate, abnormal heating, battery capacity reduced by 1% after upgrading to beta5 Detailed description: My phone has been in normal use since purchase, and I have never downloaded or installed cracking tools or files from unknown sources. I concluded that the problem was caused by upgrading the beta version of the ios system. During a period of time when using ios18 beta 4, the phone suddenly became inoperable, the screen failed intermittently, and the failure time became longer and longer. Specifically, the app cannot be operated, and there is no response to sliding up and down, left and right, clicking, touching, and long pressing (almost all APPs, not an exception). In recent days, I found that this phenomenon of the phone seems to be related to charging. Every time it is fully charged, it will not be able to operate when the device is turned on. The iPad and iPhone have the same reaction. During the period when the device is unresponsive, iCloud cannot be synchronized normally, the phone heats up, the software crashes, white dots appear on the edge of the screen (just like a bad pixel on the screen), the video cannot be loaded, and a series of problems. Supplement: Which version can solve these problems? How to return to the official version without flashing? Can I receive version push normally by turning off the beta test switch? Feeling: Since I did not make a full backup of the lower version, I hope that iOS18.1beta5 will solve the problem. Unfortunately, it is still not solved in beta5, and the problem is getting worse. My phone is now a brick and cannot be used normally. This accident is the first time I have encountered such a serious problem since I used Apple devices. I am very disappointed. I hope Apple engineers can fix it as soon as possible.

When a NavigationSplitView's sidebar has a default selected value, the detail's toolbar item disappears when resizing the view from compact to regular size. @State private var selectedId: String? = "anything" NavigationSplitView { List(selection: $selectedId) { Text("Sidebar") } } detail: { Text("Detail") .toolbar { Button("Button") {} } } There is no way to get the toolbar item back, other than reloading the view. I have no idea why this happens. In my example I have a dummy Text("Sidebar") without a value, but the problem occurs regardless of its content. Tested on Simulator iPadOS 18.0, and I've seen this happen in our production app.

With iOS 18.0, this snippet of code that has a NavigationSplitView inside a NavigationStack will not display the sidebar until the navigation transition is completed. NavigationStack { NavigationLink("Link") { NavigationSplitView { Text("Example") } detail: { Text("Does not appear") } } } Directly after pressing the link, a toolbar briefly appears. Once the transition is completed, the split view's sidebar appears and the toolbar disappears. The detail view does not visually appear at all. The same problem occurs when using .navigationDestination(…), which I am in our production code. I've tested this in Xcode 16.0 Previews for iOS 18.0, iPhone SE Simulator iOS 18.0, iPadOS 18.0 when horizontal size class is compact, and on my personal iPhone 13 mini iOS 18.0 I experienced this problem on our production app. Is there any workaround to not have this delay? Our app is heavily built around this nested approach, and has been working perfectly in previous iOS versions.

Hi all, Before updating to iPadOS 18, the Table component in SwiftUI worked as expected, allowing multiple selections using the Shift key and mouse clicks. However, after the update, this functionality no longer works on iPadOS 18 and macOS 15 (running with Catalyst). Here’s a simplified version of the code: @State var selections: Set<String> = [] var body: some View { Table(devices, selection: $selections) { // ... } } Is there any workaround for this issue, or has anyone else encountered the same problem? Thanks!

I have been using the following function in my UITabBarController for several years, which runs some code when the user clicks a tab. I have now built the app using Xcode 16 and when I run it on my iPad with iPadOS 18, the function is not called. When I run the same app on iPadOS 16, it works just fine like it always has. Is this a bug, or is there something new that I need to do for iOS 18 support? override func tabBar(_tabBar: UITabBar, didSelect item: UITabBarItem) { // Some code } NOTE: My UITabBarController is presented from my root view controller, which is a UINavigationController.

We're developing a service that requires webtransport support in the browser. Currently, the only browser that doesn't provide support is the IOS version of Safari. Our current way forward for client use is to flag iphone and ipad as non compliant and recommend either desktop use or android. Is there any ballpark date as to when WebTransport will be included in IOS Safari (- webkit supports webtransport)?

Hi Folks, starting with iOS18 and using Xcode16, accessing fetchedProperties results in an error. I identified the issue to occur as soon as the initialization of a fetched property with external binary data storage starts. Console output during debugging: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInternalInconsistencyException', reason: 'This expression has evaluation disabled' *** First throw call stack: [...] libc++abi: terminating due to uncaught exception of type NSException Console output when trying to "print" the item via the contact menu of the debugger: Printing description of variable: error: error: Execution was interrupted, reason: internal ObjC exception breakpoint(-6).. The process has been returned to the state before expression evaluation. Message from debugger: killed The identical code works with iOS before iOS 18 (same for iPadOS 18). Does anyone observed a similar issue and figured out a solution already? Cheers, folox

Hello Apple We have been facing lot of SSL issues when we are connecting to iOS devices with OS 17.5.1, 7.6.1 and 18. Need more clarification on the latest parameters to be used on the server side like -&gt; TLS Version and Cipher Suites Please do update us on the above. Error message-&gt; "An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made."

since having updated my iPad with subject title update, I can no longer type French accents with my magic keyboard. The toggle between English and French is there, the actual key type is no longer available.

With the newest iPad Pro and iPad Air's, the front facing camera sits on the long horizontal edge, which is different from the previous version which had the camera on the shorter top edge. We have an app that needs to put a UI item near the camera. Is there a way of detecting where the front facing camera is on iOS? I have tried doing simple resolution checks, i.e, if width == ipadProWidth || width == ipadAirWidth { do2024iPadProLayout() } else { doStandardiPadLayout() } But this doesn't feel like the nicest way to do this check, because it's liable to break moving forward, and theres the possibility Apple release more devices with the camera on the horizontal edge. Any help here is appreciated!

I have a text-to-speech app that generates speech using non-Apple technology. My users are requesting to use it for phone and FaceTime calls. Is there any way I can play generated audio through a phone or FaceTime call?

I have a text to speech assisted-audio-communication (AAC) app that uses both Apple and non-Apple technologies for voice synthesis. Apple's marketing page for "Live Speech" says that, when "Live Speech" is turned on, that AAC apps can provide the text to be read. I can't see how to do this. Is it possible?

I have been investigating a recent breakage where apps being installed via Testflight are crashing on launch with no helpful crash reports, or even console-accessible logging. More detail: The app launches just fine on iPadOS 18 beta (ipad) but the same build doesn't work on iPadOS 17.6.1 At my wit's end, I checked the entire build environment - was I using XCode beta still somewhere? Well, in the XCode Cloud workflow, I had selected "Release" for the latest released version of XCode. And MUCH to my surprise, I see that XCode 16 RC is selected. Why? That's not released yet... Anyway, this is just a friendly PSA to check your XCode Cloud workflows if you choose "release" when new XCode releases are upcoming... or peg your XCode Cloud environment versions. And I still don't have an explanation why Testflight XCode 16 RC is producing builds that crash on iPadOS 17.6.1 (for us) but not the latest iPadOS 18 public beta...

Before iPadOS 18, I was using hidesBottomBarWhenPushed, and it worked beautifully. Now, it's broken/not working. How are we supposed to hide the new tab bar nowadays?

Hello, Is anyone experiencing devices on OS 17 disconnecting from Xcode 15 and 16 Beta? I remember there were a lot of past conversations around the time when iOS 17 released but it seems to still be happening even after using Xcode 16 beta. Re-pairing devices and rebooting the hosts appear to fix it temporarily. I discovered that killing the remoted process also allows xcode to reconnect to the devices. Using Xcode 16's devicectl also doesn't work. I have my devices connected to a USB Hub and to multiple devices. The odd thing is I have iOS 16 devices connected and those don't disconnect. I believe iOS 17 introduced a new coredevice stack to connect but has anyone found a fix for it or have any recommendations? TN3158 isn't relevant in my situation because VPN and Packet filtering is not in use and I filed feedback with Apple but they have't responded in a long time.
