I've requested for family control via: https://developer.apple.com/contact/request/family-controls-distribution & got approved. I've now created new provision files with family control being checked in the identifiers & uploaded manually. Yet, still get: Provisioning profile "redoAppStore" doesn't support the Family Controls capability. Provisioning profile "redoAppStore" doesn't include the com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement. The family control capability is added to my main target (IOS app) as well. What should I do to get it uploaded?

We uploaded to App Store Connect a new app version with new subscription groups & items. Everything was approved, and we received the emails from App Store connect, but if we visit our App Store Connect account App, some of these subscription items are still "Waiting for review" for more than 4 days. It has no sense as the email informed us that the new app version and all the items had been approved. The app is online, but some subscription items are not available. We even uploaded a new app version, it was updated, but the subscription items are still "Waiting for review". Has anyone faced this problem? How do you solved it? We have contacted App Store Connect but it is pretty difficult to get real assistance, most of the time they reply with template email answers.

Hello! I believe there is a bug: ShieldConfigurationDataSource extension does not update when the app to be blocked is already open and the ManagedSettingsStore.shield.applications is set to the app that is already open. The shield comes up but has a stale ShieldConfiguration not reflecting the current state of the app is used. I've been able to replicate the issue in an independent app "OffScreen". If you start a blocking time range from 10:00-10:15, it will say "No Twitter until 10:15" and then open Twitter at 10:15. If there is another blocking time range from 10:16-10:31, the app will be open until 10:16 when the shield will reactivate and it will still say "No Twitter until 10:15" when is should say "No Twitter until 10:31". thanks!

Does anyone know if this is even supported at the moment? I've tried pairing a sample light application based on Silicon Lab's EFR32 but it's unable to find the OTBR on the network. [module](GitHub - SiliconLabs/matter: Matter is creating more connections between more objects, simplifying development for manufacturers and increasing compatibility for consumers, guided by the Connectivity Standards Alliance.) I'm also using the RaspberryPi 4/RCP combination as directed by Silicon Lab's documentation. I have no problems pairing the devices to the OTBR directly through its chiptool interface but Home isn't discovering the Thread network or showing me options to add the OTBR devices. I'm currently running iOS 16.1 beta on my iPhone and I'm using a HomePod Mini which is on version 16.0 and has the HomeKit Matter Support profile installed.

What happens when I try to run my app with the DNS proxy provider in network extension while another app with the same extension is already running? Will it throw an error?

Hi, Our apps currently facing a crash that only happens in iPhone with iOS 16. Unfortunately, we could not reproduce this issue, neither from XCode build or App store build. From third party crash analytics, it happens mostly of background and they highlighted this as the issue. Fatal Exception: NSInvalidArgumentException *** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil And the stack trace, it shows: AVFCore __22-[AVPlayer _addLayer:]_block_invoke Pegasus __116-[PGPictureInPictureProxy _endDeactivatingPictureInPictureIfNeededWithAnimationType:stopReason:cleanupHandlerOrNil:]_block_invoke We also attach the full crash log to give full context of the crash. Any idea why this crash happens and is there anything i can do to prevent the crashes from happening again? pegasus.crash

Hi, I can't get into "manage" sandbox account. I either get to a screen to put my password in. Here there is no way to click "next" or "login". (I have tried pressing "enter" on my keyboard to no effect). Or I get directly into "Cannot Connect" page. I have tried this two days in a row. I have tried turning it off and on again. I have tried logging out and in. Device: iPhone 13 pro max, iOS: 16.0.3 (also tried the version before this)

Hi, I am trying to create a hard link on MacOS(Mac Catalyst App) between files using [self linkItemAtURL:fromURL toURL:toURL error:&error]; Source Path for MacOS - /var/folders/lf/dt_4nxd945jdry2241phx0_40000gn/T/net.appname.AppName/documents/... Destination Path for MacOS - /Users/username/Library/Group Containers/group.net.appname.AppName.shared/Message/Media/... Although the same code works fine on iOS, but getting following error on MacOS Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 couldn’t be linked because you don’t have permission to access, Operation not permitted Source Path for iOS - /Users/user/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/B4054540-345F-4D90-A3C5-DA6E6469A3FC/data/Containers/Data/Application/B4AB7D70-491C-49E5-9A3F-27E66EC3423D/tmp/documents/... Destination Path for iOS - /Users/user/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/B4054540-345F-4D90-A3C5-DA6E6469A3FC/data/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/842B248E-CCA6-4B5C-82BD-2858EADD3A90/Message/Media/... However, interestingly if I try to copy the file, it works perfectly fine on MacOS as well. I am unable to understand if it is the permission issue, it should not work with copy as well. Does anyone have any reason/solution to this behaviour?

I'm building a macOS + iOS SwiftUI app using Xcode 14.1b3 on a Mac running macOS 13.b11. The app uses Core Data + CloudKit. With development builds, CloudKit integration works on the Mac app and the iOS app. Existing records are fetched from iCloud, and new records are uploaded to iCloud. Everybody's happy. With TestFlight builds, the iOS app has no problems. But CloudKit integration isn't working in the Mac app at all. No existing records are fetched, no new records are uploaded. In the Console, I see this message: error: CoreData+CloudKit: Failed to set up CloudKit integration for store: <NSSQLCore: 0x1324079e0> (URL: <local file url>) Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service named com.apple.cloudd was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction." UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=The connection to service named com.apple.cloudd was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction.} I thought it might be that I was missing the com.apple.security.network.client entitlement, but adding that didn't help. Any suggestions what I might be missing? (It's my first sandboxed Mac app, so it might be really obvious to anyone but me.)

Hello, maybe anyone know anything about HCE (Host card emulation) feature on iOS? As far as I read, it's not possible to achieve this functionality on iOS, but maybe there are plans to implement that? Or maybe it's clear that it wont be allowed to be used at all? Thanks:)

Hi, I work on a game for iOS and the framerate decreases progressively when the debugger is attached. Running it for 2mins, it went from 30 to 1 FPS while rendering a simple static scene. I narrowed it down to a call to dispatch_async_f which takes longer to execute over time. clock_t t1 = clock(); dispatch_async_f(queue, context, function); clock_t t2 = clock(); double duration = (double)(t2 -t1)/(double)CLOCKS_PER_SEC; Dodumentation says dispatch_async_f is supposed to return immediatly. So what could explain duration to increases in debug? Am i measuring this incorrectly? The game is written in mixed C++ and ObjC. It uses Metal as graphic API and GCD for dispatching jobs. I have Xcode 13.4.1 and test on an iPhone 13 Pro with iOS 15.7. Thanks.

I'm trying to migrate from Complication with CLKComplication to WidgetKit. I have implemented the required methods in https://developer.apple.com/documentation/widgetkit/converting-a-clockkit-app, but the migration is not working. There is no evidence that the method for migration is also called. It was the same with Xcode 14.0.1 and Xcode 14.1RC. class ComplicationController: NSObject, CLKComplicationDataSource, CLKComplicationWidgetMigrator { ...     @available(watchOS 9.0, *)     var widgetMigrator: CLKComplicationWidgetMigrator {         return self     }     @available(watchOS 9.0, *)     func widgetConfiguration(from complicationDescriptor: CLKComplicationDescriptor) async -> CLKComplicationWidgetMigrationConfiguration? {         return CLKComplicationStaticWidgetMigrationConfiguration(kind: "MyWidget", extensionBundleIdentifier: "com.example.myapp.mywatchkitapp.mywidget")     } } What's wrong? Has anyone been able to migrate?

Is there any way a live activity could be started from a shortcut? The example live activities (ordering a ride share, viewing sports scores etc) are good fits for shortcuts and live activities but I'm not able to start a live activity from a shortcut using the new app intents framework. Is it possible to start a live activity from an app intent shortcut?

I'm attempting to create a service that: Listens on iOS device A using NWListener Broadcasts the NWService ( using NWListener(service:using:)) ) on Bonjour Allows a separate device, iOS device B, to receive information about that service via an NWBrowser Connect to that service using the information contained in NWBrowser.Result 's NWEndpoint I've been able to successfully do this using a SwiftNIO service, in the following environments: iOS device A and iOS device B are physical iOS devices on the same WiFi network. This works. iOS device A and iOS device B are iOS simulators on the same machine. This works. iOS device A is a physical device, and iOS device B is a simulator. iOS device A is not connected to a WiFi network, iOS device B is connected to a WiFi network. This works. However, when iOS device A and iOS device B are physical devices that are not connected to a WiFi network, I encounter the following behavior: The Bonjour service is correctly advertised, and iOS device A and iOS device B are able to observe the advertisement of the service. In both cases, iOS device A and iOS device B, while able to resolve an NWEndpoint for the Bonjour service, are not able to connect to each other, and the connection attempt hangs. My setup for the listener side of things looks roughly like: let opts: NWParameters = .tcp opts.includePeerToPeer = true opts.allowLocalEndpointReuse = true let service = NWListener.Service(name: "aux", type: BONJOUR_SERVICE_TYPE, domain: "") try bootstrap.withNWListener(NWListener(service: service, using: opts)).wait() // bootstrap is an artifact of using SwiftNIO Similarly, my setup on the discovery side of things looks like: let params: NWParameters = .tcp params.includePeerToPeer = true let browser = NWBrowser(for: .bonjour(type: BONJOUR_SERVICE_TYPE, domain: BONJOUR_SERVICE_DOMAIN), using: params) browser.browseResultsChangedHandler =  { (searchResults, changed) in // save the result to pass on its NWEndpoint later } and finally, where I have an NWEndpoint, I use SwiftNIO's NIOTSConnectionBootstrap.connect(endpoint:) to initialize a connection to my TCP service ( a web socket server ). The fact that I am able to get P2P networking (presumably over an awdl interface?) between the simulator and the iOS device suggests to me that I haven't done anything obviously wrong in my setup. Similarly, the fact that it works over the same WiFi network and that, in P2P, I am able to at least observe the Bonjour advertisement, strikes me that I'm somewhere in the right neighborhood of getting this to work. I've also ensured that my Info.plist for the app has a NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription and NSBonjourServices for the Bonjour service type I'm browsing for. I've even attempted to exercise the "Local Network Permission" dialog by using a hacky attempt that sends data to a local IP in order to trigger a permissions dialog, though the hack does not appear to actually force the dialog to appear. Is there some trick or other piece of knowledge regarding allowing the use of P2P w/ Network.framework and TCP connections to services?

Is there way to read the Apple Heart rate zones from HealthKit? I want to read the min/max bpm for each of the 1-5 zones. I went through the Apple HealthKit developer documentation but couldn't find it https://developer.apple.com/documentation/healthkit

Why is "CarPlay.app" text shown in Location Services? All other app listings display an icon instead of text - so this looks suspicious. It may be a bug though. Has anyone else seen this? I’ve filed this via Apple Feedback app but no response from Apple yet. Device is running iOS 16.2beta.

When I tap on one of the buttons in the ShieldAction extension I want to close the shield and open the parent app instead of the shielded app. Is there any way of doing this using the Screen Time API? class ShieldActionExtension: ShieldActionDelegate {      override func handle(action: ShieldAction, for application: ApplicationToken, completionHandler: @escaping (ShieldActionResponse) -> Void) {     // Handle the action as needed.           let store = ManagedSettingsStore()               switch action {     case .primaryButtonPressed:       //TODO - open parent app       completionHandler(.defer)     case .secondaryButtonPressed:       //remove shield       store.shield.applications?.remove(application)       completionHandler(.defer)         @unknown default:       fatalError()     }   }   }

I added a Watch app to an existing iOS app using XCode 14.1. (single target template) When using WCSession delegate, so I can message between the apps, I always get isWatchAppInstalled = false. If Icreate the same scenario using XCode 13.x, I have no issues. Has anyone been able to add a watch app to an existing iOS app, create a WCSession object and have isWatchAppInstalled = true? print("Session:activationDidCompleteWith --> IsPaired[(String(describing: session.isPaired))] isWatchAppInstalled[(String(describing: session.isWatchAppInstalled))] isReachable[(String(describing: session.isReachable))]"); displays: Session:activationDidCompleteWith --> IsPaired[true] isWatchAppInstalled[false] isReachable[false]

My app calls Product.SubscriptionInfo.status(for:) to get the subscription status when the app starts. Users with multiple Apple IDs have reported that every few days they get an unpurchased status, and when I checked that, the Product.SubscriptionInfo.status(for:) result array was empty. (When the app is restarted, Product.SubscriptionInfo.status(for:) gives the correct result.) StoreKit.Transaction.currentEntitlements, which is executed immediately after Product.SubscriptionInfo.status(for:), seems to be getting the correct result, so I am trying to check the subscription status with this result. Is it a bug that Product.SubscriptionInfo.status(for:) returns an empty result for the purchaser? There is a mismatch between Product.SubscriptionInfo.status(for:) and StoreKit.Transaction.currentEntitlements. Is it possible for a mismatch to occur?　 And In such a case, which result should be adopted?

Prior to iOS 16, Intent Handlers in SiriKit only had 10 seconds to complete the request. However, i have not come across any mention of a time limit in the documentation for the new AppIntents framework. My own testing revealed this limit to be somewhere between 20-25 seconds. Does anyone know what the official time limit is to complete a request with the new AppIntents framework?
