Greetings!
I am currently working on Message Filtering iOS App extension: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sms_and_call_reporting/sms_and_mms_message_filtering
We are using the approach to defer the query to an associated server: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sms_and_call_reporting/ilmessagefilterextensioncontext/2880240-deferqueryrequesttonetwork
Although iOS ensures that no other app extension can make these requests to the server via associated domains feature, the security team is concerned a lot about creating an endpoint which has no client-server authentication at all (OAuth or bearer token authentication). It means that the endpoint may potentially be used by some thirdparty scripts, apps, etc, and we won't be able to distinguish this from valid clients on the backend.
I am aware of the note in documentation saying
For privacy reasons, the system handles all communication with your associated server; your Message Filter app extension can’t access the network directly.
Your app extension also can’t write data to containers shared with the containing app.
But maybe there is a way to add any client-server network authentication to requests made by deferring the message filter query to our server?
Thanks in advance,
Konstantin

About 8 or 9 months ago now, we changed our open graph meta tags on https://www.jabraenhance.com, but since then, the Messages and Mail apps have been showing our old og:image and og:title values, which points to our old company name / brand.
Any suggestions on what could be causing this? As far as I can tell, everything is setup correctly, best practices are being followed, etc, but Apple's bot scraper hasn't picked up these changes (for a long time).
What is expected?
Open https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jabraenhance.com
The Link Preview shown in that tool is how it SHOULD look.
What we've confirmed / debugged so far:
These meta tags are served as static html from our server, no javascript is needed to generate them.
We have followed the advice on Apple's Best Practices site, according to this doc, everything should work:
https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/technotes/tn2444/_index.html
We have confirmed correct behavior using facebooks debug tool
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
Our meta tags
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" prefix="og: https://ogp.me/ns#">
<head>
<meta property="og:title" content="High-quality hearing aids with expert care." />

Hi,
I am unable to select Sticker as either a primary or secondary category for my app on the appstoreconnect.
My app has a main app and an iMessage extension that revolves around the use of stickers (for iMessage).
Looks like the person in the thread below was able to solve their issue by uploading their build first before selecting a category but that did not work for me. I assume their issue was fixed from the solution because they submitted an app that was just an iMessage sticker pack while my app has a main app and my iMessage sticker portion is not the templated iMessage sticker pack but an iMessage extension that sends stickers.
Any help would be amazing, thanks!

Subject: In Search of Swift Mentorship
Hello Community,
I'm Abdallah, a self-taught iOS developer with a solid understanding of the basics. However, I'm at a point in my learning where I need some real-world experience to truly refine my skills.
I'm seeking an experienced Swift developer for personalized mentorship and guidance. I'm ready to invest my time, and I'm open to compensating for yours. I believe this will be a significant step for my growth as an IOS developer.
If you're interested or can recommend someone, please let me know. I'm excited about this next phase of my journey and eager to contribute to actual projects.
Best,

This code sends a text message from the command line
on run {targetBuddyPhone, targetMessage}
tell application "Messages"
set targetService to 1st service whose service type = SMS
set targetBuddy to buddy targetBuddyPhone of targetService
send targetMessage to targetBuddy
end tell
end run
And this code sends an iMessage from the command line
on run {targetBuddyPhone, targetMessage}
tell application "Messages"
set targetService to 1st service whose service type = iMessage
set targetBuddy to buddy targetBuddyPhone of targetService
send targetMessage to targetBuddy
end tell
end run
I’m looking for a solution to combine this code into a single snippet that will try to send an iMessage if the recipient has iMessages, but if they do not, then the code will send a SMS message.

I'm trying to authenticate with a OAuth2.0 service when my MessagesExtension app loads. I see that one of the parameters the service requires is a redirect_uri, which will pass back an authorization code to my application through the redirect callback. However, I'm unable to provide a redirect_uri that will invoke my application since MessagesExtension applications do not have an appDelegate. Is it just not possible to authenticate with services requiring a redirect_uri with a MessagesExtension application?

Hi,
I want to manipulate the Messages App UI and render some information by Using other iOS Apps or AppExtensions. My queries are below mentioned:
For messages received from unknown sender, I want to replace the person avatar with some logo. Screenshot1 attached for reference.
I want to customise the unknown message sender mobile number with some text e.g. +91-xxxxxxx74 with some company name like Apple without intervening and registering with operators. Screenshot2 attached for reference.
Last, After filtering with MessageFilterExtension when we open a message, just below the message I want to show some information like Unsafe or Suspicious. Screenshot3 attached for reference.
If there is any other way to show the information to user that message received is not safe or suspicious.

There are so many top-level domains now and my app is using the top-level domain ".sh". Unfortunately, I cannot get iOS to link these URLs when my clients send texts to their users.
myapp.sh/login <- this is not linked and is pretty much useless
myapp.com/login <- this would work fine, but I do not use .com
https://myapp.sh/login <- this URL is linked, but takes up precious SMS characters
Is there a way to petition to have new top-level domains linked in Messages such as .app, .sh. or others?

Hello,
I'm planning on building an app that provides instructions on how to implement Automation for a shortcut that will look for specific message content in messages, and forward it to my app.
I want to understand if this method isn't a breach of Apple's terms of use, considering that I intend to have this used in scale (e.g. ~50k app users).
Some things to clarify:
The content that will be searched in the Messages app will be reviewed and approved by the iPhone user.
The iPhone user will be required to manually approve every automation action that occurs
The iPhone user will have control to remove any forwarded messages that were approved by mistake or in any case of regret.
The iPhone user will be well aware of the actions he makes, and approves in terms of the process and usage of the content by app.
Thank you!

I am putting a stand-alone iMessage extension sticker pack together and can't seem to get my icons to display when I run on my physical device. I have followed every thread and ran the gamut on the different solutions. I am still lost with this one and need some help. I am attaching some screenshots of how they display on my physical devices. My code runs great and I do not get any build errors.
to my knowledge (and I'm a newbie):
All icon assets have been correctly sized and attributed to the correct targets
Target memberships have been correctly attributed as well
From the Info.plist I have deleted the CFBundleicons~ipad and Icon files (iOS 5) as per recommendations from previous solutions. (I tried running with and without these auto attributional add ons) deleted or not, still doesn't solve the issues.
Thanks in advance, hopefully, it helps me and others in the future :)
Ps. I didn't want to flood the post with too many screenshots, but if there is anything you need to see to help me solve this one, let me know and I'll try to follow up.

Touchgram provides interactive messages as an iMessage App extension, adding gesture recognition and logic on top of SpriteKit.
When you play a message, either composing it or when received, the extension goes into expanded sheet mode which is mostly filled with an SKView.
I’ve just installed the iOS 17 beta. Running the current (1.3.3) version of the app inside Messages, touches are not being captured inside SpriteKit. Instead, vertical touches are interpreted as attempts to drag the sheet from expanded down to compact mode.
Horizontal touches still work.
This breaks the app utterly. At the very least, I need a fix and to ship a new version by the time 17.0 goes live. Alternatively, this may be a beta bug in Messages.
To replicate:
Launch the extension inside Messages
Tap Favorites (star)
Choose the “Foot tickle lots with hearts”
Press the Play (triangle) button
Move your finger rapidly back and forth - you should see hearts being drawn following your path - horizontally and vertically, any angle.
On iOS17, vertical movement in step 5 fails, instead shrinking the sheet.

Hi according to the documentation we can have Message extensions in Mac Catalyst 14+, and that the MSStickerBrowserView is supported from Mac Catalyst 13.1+. But it doesn't seem possible to actually build an extension app, or Sticker extension, embedded in a Mac Catalyst app and have it appear in macOS messages.
Error:
iMessage Applications are not available when building for Mac Catalyst.
and
error: iMessage / Sticker Pack extensions are not available when building for Mac Catalyst.
With the announcement for macOS Sonoma that the Stickers will be available in Mac Messages, is this finally going to be possible?
If this isn't possible, why is there support for Mac Catalyst?

Hello everyone,
I am currently developing an iMessage app extension using SwiftUI, and I'm experiencing a crash after successfully inserting text into the conversation. I've checked the console, and it prints "Text inserted successfully" before the crash occurs. However, I cannot find the cause of the crash, and I would appreciate any help in identifying and resolving the issue.
Here's the relevant code snippet for inserting text into the conversation:
private func insertMessage(withText text: String) {
self.activeConversation?.insertText(text, completionHandler: { error in
if let error = error {
print("Error inserting text: \(error)")
} else {
print("Text inserted successfully")
}
})
}
Additionally I am getting a crash report which I will attach bellow:
crash report
If anyone has encountered a similar issue or has any suggestions, please let me know.
Thank you in advance for your help!
