I've been seeing a high number of BGTaskScheduler related crashes, all of them coming from iOS 18.4. I've encountered this myself once on launch upon installing my app, but haven't been able to reproduce it since, even after doing multiple relaunches and reinstalls. Crash report attached at the bottom of this post.
I am not even able to symbolicate the reports despite having the archive on my MacBook:
Does anyone know if this is an iOS 18.4 bug or am I doing something wrong when scheduling the task? Below is my code for scheduling the background task on the view that appears when my app launches:
.onChange(of: scenePhase) { newPhase in
if newPhase == .active {
#if !os(macOS)
let request = BGAppRefreshTaskRequest(identifier: "notifications")
request.earliestBeginDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .hour, value: 3, to: Date())
do {
try BGTaskScheduler.shared.submit(request)
Logger.notifications.log("Background task scheduled. Earliest begin date: \(request.earliestBeginDate?.description ?? "nil", privacy: .public)")
} catch let error {
// print("Scheduling Error \(error.localizedDescription)")
Logger.notifications.error("Error scheduling background task: \(error.localizedDescription, privacy: .public)")
}
#endif
...
}

Subject: Issue with Submitting the Latest App Version in App Store Connect
Hello, App Store Connect Team!
I am experiencing an issue with submitting an update for my app BTC-X PRO (Bundle ID: PRO.BTCX).
Currently, in App Store Connect:
Version 1.2.5 is published and available to users.
Version 1.3.0 is in the "Prepare for Submission" status, but it is no longer relevant, and I cannot delete it.
Version 1.3.1 has also been uploaded, but it is outdated and was never submitted for review.
Version 1.4.0 has been uploaded and is ready for submission, but I am unable to submit it for review because App Store Connect only allows me to submit 1.3.0.
Since versions 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 are no longer relevant, I kindly request that you either:
Remove versions 1.3.0 and 1.3.1 so I can submit 1.4.0 for review.
Or manually enable the ability to submit 1.4.0 for review.
I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue as soon as possible, as version 1.4.0 includes important updates for users.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Best regards,
CEO Ihor Khrysiuk

Hello! We're currently testing Live Caller ID implementation and noticed an issue with userIdentifier values in our database.
Initially, we expected to have approximately 100 records (one per user), but the database grew to about 10,000 evaluationKey entries. Upon investigation, we discovered that the userIdentifier (extracted from "User-Identifier" header) for the same device remains constant throughout a day but changes after a few days.
We store these evaluation keys using a composite key pattern "userIdentifier/configHash". All these entries have the same configHash but different userIdentifier values.
This behavior leads to unnecessary database growth as new entries are created for the same users with different userIdentifier values.
Could you please clarify:
Is this the expected behavior for userIdentifier to change over time?
If yes, is there a specific TTL (time-to-live) for userIdentifier?
If this is not intended, could this be a potential iOS bug?
This information would help us optimize our database storage and implement proper cleanup procedures.
Thank you for your assistance!
I am able to block apps using FamilyControl and Shield. Unblocking is also simple—just assign nil to store.shield.applications. However, I want to unblock them even when the app is not open.
Use case: Let's say the app allows users to create a session where a particular app is blocked for a specific duration. Once the session starts, the app should remain blocked, and as soon as the session time ends, it should automatically be unblocked.
Please help me with this. Thank you!
Is it possible to integrate a button in an app that displays advertisements to support charities -without offering any direct reward to the user?
I use shared UserDefaults in my Swift FileProvider extension app suite. I share data between the containing app and the extension via User Defaults initialized with init(suiteName:).
Everything was working fine before macOS 15 (Sequoia).
I know that Sequoia changed the way the app group should be configured. My app group is know set to "$(TeamIdentifierPrefix)com.my-company.my-app".
But the containing (UI) app and the Extension read and write from and to different plist locations although the same app-group is specified for both targets in XCode.
The containing app reads and writes to "~/Library/Preferences/$(TeamIdentifierPrefix)com.my-company.my-app.plist"
The Extension reads and writes to "~/Library/Containers/com.my-company.my-app.provider/Data/Library/Preferences$(TeamIdentifierPrefix)com.my-company.my-app.plist"
Both of these locations seem completely illogical for shared UserDefaults.
I checked the value returned by FileManager.default.containerURL(forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: "$(TeamIdentifierPrefix)com.my-company.my-app" in both the containing app and the Extension and the value in both of them is the same but has nothing to do with the actual paths where the data is stored as provided above. (The value is as expected - "~/Library/Group Containers/$(TeamIdentifierPrefix)com.my-company.my-app/"
P.S. Of course, $(TeamIdentifierPrefix), my-company and my-app here are placeholders for my actual values.
Hi everyone, i'm a newbie swift programmer and i've received a very challenging task. I'm trying to develop ad app that close and incoming call if the calling number is not in the user's contact list. Is it possibile? Do I have to use a particular extension? thanks for all the support!.
I completed the CallKit Demo with the same code.
When I changed to LiveCommunicationKit, the code goes perfectly when the app is in foreground, but it crashed in background.
If I changed the reportIncoming method from LCK to CallKit, it goes well. What is the reason?
I changed the method from
func pushRegistry(_ registry: PKPushRegistry,
didReceiveIncomingPushWith payload: PKPushPayload,
for type: PKPushType, completion: @escaping () -> Void)
to
func pushRegistry(_ registry: PKPushRegistry,
didReceiveIncomingPushWith payload: PKPushPayload,
for type: PKPushType) async
it crashed before show the print "receive voip noti".
Here is the core code:
var providerDelegate: ProviderDelegate?
func pushRegistry(_ registry: PKPushRegistry,
didReceiveIncomingPushWith payload: PKPushPayload,
for type: PKPushType, completion: @escaping () -> Void) {
if type != .voIP { return }
guard let uuidString = payload.dictionaryPayload["uuid"] as? String,
let uuid = UUID(uuidString: uuidString),
let handle = payload.dictionaryPayload["handle"] as? String,
let hasVideo = payload.dictionaryPayload["hasVideo"] as? Bool,
let callerID = payload.dictionaryPayload["callerID"] as? String else {
return
}
print("receive voip noti: \(type):\(payload.dictionaryPayload)")
if #available(iOS 17.4, *) {
// This code is only goes perfectly when the App is in foreground
var update = Conversation.Update(members: [Handle(type: .generic, value: callerID, displayName: callerID)])
if hasVideo {
update.capabilities = [.video, .playingTones]
} else {
update.capabilities = .playingTones
}
Task { @MainActor in
do {
print("LCKit report start")
try await LCKitManager.shared.reportNewIncomingConversation(uuid: uuid, update: update)
print("LCKit report success")
completion()
} catch {
print("LCKit report failed")
print(error)
completion()
}
}
} else {
// It went perfectly
providerDelegate?.reportIncomingCall(uuid: uuid, callerID: callerID, handle: handle, hasVideo: hasVideo) { _ in
completion()
}

After reading Apple documentation (FamilyControls, DeviceActivity, ManagedSettings, ManagedSettingsUI, ScreenTime) and testing the API, I do not find a way to get the child's device apps on the parent device in order to block them or disable them for a certain time.
Is there a way of doing it?
Or can it only be done locally on the child device?
Hello! What is the TTL for evaluation key(s) used in Live Caller ID feature on iOS client side? We would like to align our server-side key storage TTL with the iOS client implementation to optimize memory usage.
Would really appreciate your help on this.
I was importing the app's information based on the document below.
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/devicemanagement/getting-app-and-book-information-legacy
However, I have failed to get the information of the custom app from a few days ago.
The result is empty.
This is a request with an empty result.

In ABM/ASM, you can see my assets and both the quantity in use and the quantity available will be searched normally.
Is there anything else I can check?
Please reply.
Thank you.
The problem only happened on iOS system is 18.3.
We save the data about user after user login,so when user login successful ,we save users info in NSUserdefault ,then user delete app,and reinstall the app,when launch the app,it is already logged in.
Hello,
I'm creating an app that stores multiple Date objects: the users selects a date and a time and receives a notification at this time precisely.
The problem that happens is after saving a Date, if the device's timezone changes, the Date also changes - and that is not what's I'm expecting (just want the original time as is without depending on timezone).
I have inspected the TimeZone properties when I'm building the Date from DateComponents but nothing has worked.
Thank you for your answer.
I am creating a voip app, I am trying to use call kit to answer calls, however audio doesn't seem to work when using callKit when looking at the systems logs I see
no server connection when checking background audio state, won't allow background audio!
background audio processAllowed = 0 for displayID com.apple.TelephonyUtilities
no server connection when checking background audio state, won't allow background audio!
background audio processAllowed = 0 for displayID {my app id}
I have the plist entries for background ui modes for voip, audio, fetch and background notifications along with the backgrounds modes for Voip, Audio, AirPlay, and Picture in Picture, Background notifications. I am unsure what to do about this, like my reading of the error is I can't use audio cause I am not connected to a server, but like is it any server, Am I suppose to connect to the voip call before setting up audio, I am not sure how to do that.
Hi,
I'm working on a game for the past few years using first Unreal Engine 4, and now Unreal Engine 5.4.4.
I'm experiencingan unusual crash on startup on some devices
. The crash is so fast that I'm barely able to see the launching screen sometimes because the app closes itself before that.
I got a EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) so I know that it's a null pointer reference, but I can't quite wrap my head about the cause, I think that's something messed up in the packaging of the app, but here is where I'm blocked, I'm not that accustomed with apple devices.
If someone has some advise to give, please, any help will be very valuable. Many thanks.

I am developing a parental control app using Apple’s Screen Time API and FamilyControls Framework. My goal is to allow parents to remotely block apps on their child’s device from their own phone. Anyone have any idea how can i do that?

Is there any way I can get updates when I change CarPlay style settings?
I've tried CPSessionConfigurationDelegate.contentStyleChanged and CPTemplateApplicationSceneDelegate.contentStyleDidChange, but they always produce the same result.
When I choose:
Automatic -> I receive light in case of daylight;
Always Dark and Always Show Dark Map toggle on -> dark
Always Dark and Always Show Dark Map toggle off -> light.
But it seems to be wrong, b/c CarPlay's toolbar is still dark, and I receive light.
Is there a way to get a dark style when choosing Always Dark and Always Show Dark Map toggle off? Or at least get updates when the Always Show Dark Map toggle changes?
