I have some questions regarding the specifications of the receipt information that can be obtained from https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/get_transaction_info. When a subscription is newly purchased, it is expected that the purchaseDate should reflect the time of purchase and should not be later than this time, such as an hour after the purchase. Is this understanding correct? We observed a phenomenon where, when a user purchased a new subscription between 17:30 and 20:00 JST on November 3, 2024, the purchaseDate in the received receipt was delayed by one hour compared to the actual purchase time. Is this a specification or an issue? When validating the receipt for a newly purchased subscription, if the purchaseDate reflects a time later than when the purchase was made, should I regard the user as having subscription rights at the time of validation?

When Call Blocking and Identification is enabled, information such as Caller Name, number and Call Identification Label is displayed correctly in the incoming call screen. But in Recents screen the call record is not displaying any name or number but instead displays only the Call Identification label that was passed in CXCallDirectoryProvider is displayed. Note: This issue is not observed when the call blocking and identification permission is not granted and the same code is working fine in iOS 17.x

I have an app that uses SwiftData with CloudKit to synchronize data across a users devices. I'm able to replicate data created on one device on another and when removing data, it is also removed on the other device. So, I know that SwiftData and CloudKit are configured correctly. What I'd like to do though, is to ensure that if a user installs the app on an additional device, that the data is synchronized upon app start. When testing my app on a third device, via TestFlight, there was no data in the app upon launch even though all three devices are using the same Apple account (e.g. Apple ID). What is the best way to achieve this?

We have an authenticator app (like Google Authenticator & Microsoft Authenticator) with a push notification feature. From past 2 weeks we are not receiving push notifications in the app. Any changes made recently in Apple Firebase which would impact the push notification functionality.

Hello, I have a some problem with background fetch. In my app I use background modes for fetch data and display on my home widget iPhone. Its working correct when I built app on my phone from Xcode but when I distribute my app on TestFlight my home widget not updating at all. Help me understand if this issue is only due to TestFlight resources, or should I try releasing the app and hope that it will work in the release version?

Hi, In my app, I have an option to remove a contact from a contact group (using the Contacts framework), and it's been working fine till recently users of the macOS version reported that it's not working. I have been using the CNSaveRequest removeMember(contact, from: group) API. The same API works fine on iOS. I'm not sure when it started but it seems to be affecting macOS14.6 as well as 15.1. I was able to reproduce it in a small test project as well, and have the same experience (the API works on iOS but not on macOS), so it definitely seems like a problem with the framework. Can someone confirm this, and/or suggest a workaround? Here's the code I run to test it out ...a simple SwiftUI view that has 4 buttons: Create contact and group Add contact to group Remove contact from group (optional) cleanup by deleting contact and group It's the 3rd step that seems to fail on macOS, but works fine on iOS. Here's the code to test it out: struct ContentView: View { let contactsModel = ContactsStoreModel() var body: some View { VStack (alignment: .center, spacing: 15){ Button ("1. Add Contact And Group") { print("add contact button pressed") contactsModel.addTestContact() if let _ = contactsModel.createdContact { print("created contact success") } } Button ("2. Add Contact To Group") { print("add to group button pressed") contactsModel.addContactToGroup() } Button ("3. Remove Contact From Group") { print("remove from group button pressed") contactsModel.removeContactFromGroup() } Button ("4. Delete Contact and Group") { print("remove from group button pressed") contactsModel.deleteContactAndGroup() } } .padding() } } #Preview { ContentView() } @available(iOS 13.0, *) @objc final class ContactsStoreModel: NSObject, ObservableObject { let contactStore = CNContactStore() var createdContact : CNContact? var createdGroup : CNGroup? public func addTestContact() { let storeContainer = contactStore.defaultContainerIdentifier() let contact = CNMutableContact() contact.givenName = "Testing" contact.familyName = "User" contact.phoneNumbers = [CNLabeledValue(label: "Cell", value: CNPhoneNumber(stringValue: "1234567890"))] let group = CNMutableGroup() group.name = "Testing Group" print("create contact id = \(contact.identifier)") print("create group id = \(group.identifier)") do { let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest() saveRequest.transactionAuthor = "TestApp" saveRequest.add(contact, toContainerWithIdentifier: storeContainer) saveRequest.add(group, toContainerWithIdentifier: storeContainer) try contactStore.execute(saveRequest) createdContact = contact createdGroup = group } catch { print("error in store execute = \(error)") } } public func addContactToGroup() { if let contact = createdContact, let group = createdGroup { do { let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest() saveRequest.transactionAuthor = "TestApp" saveRequest.addMember(contact, to: group) try contactStore.execute(saveRequest) } catch { print("error in store execute = \(error)") } } } public func removeContactFromGroup() { if let contact = createdContact, let group = createdGroup { do { let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest() saveRequest.transactionAuthor = "TestApp" saveRequest.removeMember(contact, from: group) try contactStore.execute(saveRequest) } catch { print("error in store execute = \(error)") } } } public func addGroupAndContact() { let storeContainer = contactStore.defaultContainerIdentifier() let group = CNMutableGroup() group.name = "Test Group" print("create group id = \(group.identifier)") if let contact = createdContact { do { let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest() saveRequest.transactionAuthor = "TestApp" saveRequest.add(group, toContainerWithIdentifier: storeContainer) saveRequest.addMember(contact, to: group) try contactStore.execute(saveRequest) createdGroup = group } catch { print("error in store execute = \(error)") } } } public func deleteContactAndGroup() { if let contact = createdContact, let group = createdGroup { do { let mutableGroup = group.mutableCopy() as! CNMutableGroup let mutableContact = contact.mutableCopy() as! CNMutableContact let saveRequest = CNSaveRequest() saveRequest.transactionAuthor = "TestApp" saveRequest.delete(mutableContact) saveRequest.delete(mutableGroup) try contactStore.execute(saveRequest) } catch { print("error in deleting store execute = \(error)") } } } }

I have a pretty straightforward code to connect to a given ip address and port using NWConnection. On the first attempt to connect to the Local Network I see the "Local Network Privacy" dialog and sometimes if I press "Don't Allow" on that dialog everything starts to fail. No matter I do I keep receiving the following error: POSIXErrorCode(rawValue: 50): Network is down Obviously going to settings and allowing local network access to the app doesn't fix the issue. Neither deleting the app and installing it again. The only workaround I found is to restart my device which is unacceptable for a user. My code is really simple, I tried a lot of different approaches to connect but neither approach worked. I am on iOS 18. Is it a known bug? could be possible a bug on my code? Any idea would be really appreciated, thanks!

I would like to know whether and how people are getting the sandbox account > manage > clear purchase history feature to work. I clear purchase history (either on my device or at app store connect), and I delete my app from my device. I then run my app from Xcode on my device, and it detects at launch the existence of the purchase, and so I cannot test my purchase user interface. Does this thing actually work as advertised?

Is it possible to reset SwiftData to a state identical to that of a newly installed app? I have experienced some migration issues where, when I add a new model, I need to reinstall the entire application for the ModelContainer creation to work. Deleting all existing models does not seem to make any difference. A potential solution I currently have, which appears to work but feels quite hacky, is as follows: let _ = try! ModelContainer() modelContainer = try! ModelContainer(for: Student.self, ...) This seems to force out this error CoreData: error: Error: Persistent History (66) has to be truncated due to the following entities being removed: (...) which seems to reset SwiftData. Any other suggestions?

Anne has two phone numbers, work and personal. Beth saved both phone numbers for Anne under one contact profile. When Beth sends a text to Anne's work phone, it is received on Anne's personal phone instead. We have verified only one phone number is set up under Messages settings, signed out of messages, restarted the phones. Any other fixes or suggestions?

Hi, I have a mac os app that I am developing. It is backed by a SwiftData database. I'm trying to set up cloudkit so that the app's data can be shared across the user's devices. However, I'm finding that every tutorial i find online makes it sound super easy, but only discusses it from the perspective of ios. The instructions typically say: Add the iCloud capability. Select CloudKit from its options. Press + to add a new CloudKit container, or select one of your existing ones. Add the Background Modes capability. Check the box "Remote Notifications" checkbox from its options. I'm having issue with the following: I don't see background modes showing up or remote notifications checkbox since i'm making a mac os app. If i do the first 3 steps only, when i launch my app i get an app crash while trying to load the persistent store. Here is the exact error message: Add the iCloud capability. Select CloudKit from its options. Press + to add a new CloudKit container, or select one of your existing ones. Add the Background Modes capability. Check the box "Remote Notifications" checkbox from its options. Any help would be greatly appreciated. var sharedModelContainer: ModelContainer = { let schema = Schema([One.self, Two.self]) let modelConfiguration = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) do { return try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [modelConfiguration]) } catch { fatalError("Could not create ModelContainer: \(error)") } }() The fatal error in the catch block happens when i run the app.

Does iOS Automatically Reconnect to Disconnected BLE Devices, or Is It App-Driven? I have a few questions regarding BLE device reconnections in iOS: When a BLE device gets disconnected, does iOS automatically attempt to reconnect to it, or is it the app’s responsibility to handle the reconnection logic? If the app doesn’t initiate a BLE scan, will the OS still attempt to reconnect to previously paired devices, or is manual intervention by the app necessary? What is the recommended approach to re-establish a BLE connection when: The app has been deleted. The BLE device remains connected in the iPhone's Bluetooth settings. The app is reinstalled later. Any insights or best practices would be greatly appreciated!

This message only to know your feeling on my project. Not to discuss what is feasible or not. Just on the interest of the functionality. I use 5 Focus profiles, Do Not Disturb, Holiday, Work, Personal and Sleep. I find that the native solutions for changing modes are not powerful enough. I'd like an app to configure automatically when each Focus profile should be activated. Eg : -Holiday : when holiday is found in my calendar -Work : when I'm not on holiday, when we are not on the weekend, and after 7ham but before 7pm. Personal : when I'm not on holiday when we are on the weekend of after 7pm -Dot Not Disturb: When I'm not in holiday, only on the working week when I have an event in my agenda with the status accepted". These are just some examples. the idea is that everything will be configurable. (my app is almost finished.) What do you think?

hello, i'm not able to activate Live activities from app id configuration. Do i miss something ? thanks for your help

On apple dev site in the news section here you can find two announcements about their renewal of: USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate. Context: now, I have an app delivered via in-house distribution due to Apple developer Enterprise program. My app uses push notifications, but we are using auth tokens. Should I do something on the app? Should I advice backend colleague to check or do something server-side? below you can find the two announcements: sanbox link APNs Certificate Update Begins January 20, 2025 The Apple Push Notification service (APNs) will be updated with a new server certificate in sandbox on January 20, 2025. Update your application’s Trust Store to include the new server certificate: SHA-2 Root : USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate. and production link APNs Certificate Update Begins February 24, 2025 The Apple Push Notification service (APNs) will be updated with a new server certificate in production on February 24, 2025.

My macOS app is developed using SwfitUI, SwiftData, and CloudKit. In the development environment, CloudKit works well. Locally added models can be quickly viewed in the CloudKit Console. macOS app and iOS app with the same BundleID can also synchronize data normally when developing locally. However, in the production environment, the macOS app cannot synchronize data with iCloud. But iOS app can. The models added in the production environment are only saved locally and cannot be viewed in CloudKit Console Production. I am sure I have configured correctly, container schema changes to deploy to the Production environment. I think there may be a problem with CloudKit in macOS. Please help troubleshoot the problem. I can provide you with any information you need. var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { MainView() .frame(minWidth: 640, minHeight: 480) .environment(mainViewModel) } .modelContainer(for: [NoteRecord.self]) } I didn't do anything special. I didn’t do anything special. I just used SwiftData hosted by CloudKit.

We want to ressolve dns for predefined sets of private app domains. We've added this rule: NENetworkRule(destinationHost: NWHostEndpoint(hostname: Private Domain1(example.com), port: 53), protocol: .UDP) As per apple documentation: A rule that matches all DNS queries/responses for hosts in the example.com domain. do you think it will work i.e it will forward DNS requests UDP flow to transparent provider in all the cases? or do you think the text is a bit misleading. it should instead say: "A rule that matches all DNS queries/responses for nameservers in the example.com domain"? This rule that look for port 53 of that domain only works if the system really asks a nameserver of that specific domain, right? So, what if a local DNS server or a different nameserver are taking care of the resolution?
