Overview

I'll try to ask a question that makes sense this time :) . I'm using the following method on NSFileManager: (BOOL) getRelationship:(NSURLRelationship *) outRelationship ofDirectoryAtURL:(NSURL *) directoryURL toItemAtURL:(NSURL *) otherURL error:(NSError * *) error; Sets 'outRelationship' to NSURLRelationshipContains if the directory at 'directoryURL' directly or indirectly contains the item at 'otherURL', meaning 'directoryURL' is found while enumerating parent URLs starting from 'otherURL'. Sets 'outRelationship' to NSURLRelationshipSame if 'directoryURL' and 'otherURL' locate the same item, meaning they have the same NSURLFileResourceIdentifierKey value. If 'directoryURL' is not a directory, or does not contain 'otherURL' and they do not locate the same file, then sets 'outRelationship' to NSURLRelationshipOther. If an error occurs, returns NO and sets 'error'. So this method falsely returns NSURLRelationshipSame for different directories. One is empty, one is not. Really weird behavior. Two file path urls pointing to two different file paths have the same NSURLFileResourceIdentifierKey? Could it be related to https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/813641 ? One url in the check lived at the same file path as the other url at one time (but no longer does). No symlinks or anything going on. Just plain directory urls. And YES calling -removeCachedResourceValueForKey: with NSURLFileResourceIdentifierKey causes proper result of NSURLRelationshipOther to be returned. And I'm doing the check on a background queue.

Using the ContactUI framework CNContactViewController(forNewContact contact: CNContact?) to add a new contact to the ContactStore. If the new contact does not have an attached image then the contact is saved correctly. If the new contact DOES have an attached image then all entries in the phoneNumbers or emailAddresses array are doubled when written to the contactStore. Viewing the contact via the Contacts app shows the duplications. This is only happening on iOS26+. Earlier versions of the operating system do not show duplicates. Has anyone else seen this issue?

I have several macOS applications that use CloudKit. I need to test and finds out what happens when the user signs out of their iCloud account. That's because the application may lose data after signing out and then signing in again. Every time I do that, it'll take 15, 20 minutes... I don't time it, but it takes quite a gigantic time to sign out as the spinner keeps rolling. Why does it take so long to just sign out? This sign out effect is untestable because it takes a long time to sign out of an iCloud account and then make changes to the code and then test again. In case you need to know, my system version is Sequoia 15.7.

Feedback ticket ID: FB21797397 Summary When using posix_spawn() with posix_spawnattr_set_uid_np() to spawn a child process with a different UID, the eslogger incorrectly reports a setuid event as an event originating from the parent process instead of the child process. Steps to Reproduce Create a binary that do the following: Configure posix_spawnattr_t that set the process UIDs to some other user ID (I'll use 501 in this example). Uses posix_spawn() to spawn a child process Run eslogger with the event types setuid, fork, exec Execute the binary as root process using sudo or from root owned shell Terminate the launched eslogger Observe the process field in the setuid event Expected behavior The eslogger will report events indicating a process launch and uid changes so the child process is set to 501. i.e.: fork setuid - Done by child process exec Actual behavior The process field in the setuid event is reported as the parent process (that called posix_spawn) - indicating UID change to the parent process. Attachments I'm attaching source code for a small project with a 2 binaries: I'll add the source code for the project at the end of the file + attach filtered eslogger JSONs One that runs the descirbed posix_spawn flow One that produces the exact same sequence of events by doing different operation and reaching a different process state: Parent calls fork() Parent process calls setuid(501) Child process calls exec() Why this is problematic Both binaries in my attachment do different operations, achieving different process state (1 is parent with UID=0 and child with UID=501 while the other is parent UID=501 and child UID=0), but report the same sequence of events.

I Wonder if someone review my feedback about: 1- the last person I spoke with (I think his name is Ronnizann) He was not supportive at all. 2- Seems was outside because the wind sound was so high, I have to ask hem to be in clear area 3- I received a call before Ronnizan from a lady (Not sure a bout her name) she close the line just after I said my name during the introduction, and she did not call back 4- I replied with screen shots and no call and no reply received

I'm building a macOS network monitor using NEFilterDataProvider as a system extension, distributed with Developer ID signing. On macOS 26.3 (Tahoe), sysextd consistently rejects the activation request with "no policy, cannot allow apps outside /Applications" — despite the app being in /Applications and passing every verification check. I'm aware of the known Xcode NE signing bug (r. 108838909) and have followed the manual signing process from Exporting a Developer ID Network Extension. I've also tried both xcodebuild build and xcodebuild archive workflows — identical failure.

For example, Tailscale's NEPacketTunnelProvider shows state: activated_enabled in the system extensions database — it was activated on a prior macOS version and is still running. Only new system extension activations fail. I've seen similar Tahoe-specific reports from LuLu (same NEFilterDataProvider type, Developer ID distribution): LuLu #825 LuLu #831 Questions Is this a known regression in macOS 26's sysextd policy evaluation for new Developer ID system extension activations? sysextd's policy check fails after all signature and trust evaluation succeeds. Is there a separate trust/policy path that sysextd consults beyond what spctl, codesign, and CodeSigningHelper verify? Is there anything else I should be checking? I have a sysdiagnose captured immediately after the failure, a minimal reproducer project, and full raw sysextd logs available on request.

This is my first driver and I have had the devil of a time trying to find any information to help me with this. I beg help with this, since I cannot find any tutorials that will get me over this problem. I am attempting to write a bridging driver for an older UPS that only communicates via RPC-over-USB rather than the HID Power Device class the OS requires. I have written the basic framework for the driver (details below) and am calling OSSystemExtensionRequest.submitRequest with a request object created by OSSystemExtensionRequest.activationRequest, but the didFailWithError callback is called with OSSystemExtensionErrorDomain of a value of 9, which appears to be a general failure to activate the driver. I can find no other information on how to address this issue, but I presume the issue is one of entitlements in either the entitlements file or Info.plist. I will have more code-based details below. For testing context, I am testing this on a 2021 iMac (M1) running Sequoia 15.7, and this iMac is on MDM, specifically Jamf. I have disabled SIP and set systemextensionsctl developer on, per the instructions here, and I have compiled and am attempting to debug the app using xcode 26.2. The driver itself targets DriverKit 25, as 26 does not appear to be available in xcode despite hints on google that it's out. For the software, I have a two-target structure in my xcode project, the main Manager app, which is a swift-ui app that both handles installation/activation of the driver and (if that finally manages to work) handles communication from the driver via its UserClient, and the driver which compiles as a dext. Both apps compile and use automated signing attached to our Apple Development team. I won't delve into the Manager app much, as it runs even though activation fails, except to include its entitlements file in case it proves relevant <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.driverkit.communicates-with-drivers</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.developer.system-extension.install</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-only</key> <true/> </dict> and the relevant activation code: func request(_ request: OSSystemExtensionRequest, didFailWithError error: any Error) { // handling the error, which is always code value 9 } func activateDriver() { let request = OSSystemExtensionRequest.activationRequest(forExtensionWithIdentifier: "com.mycompany.driver.bundle.identifier", queue: .main) request.delegate = self OSSystemExtensionManager.shared.submitRequest(request) //... } And finally the Manager app has the following capabilities requested for its matching identifier in our Apple Developer Account: DriverKit Communicates with Drivers System Extension On the Driver side, I have two major pieces, the main driver class MyDriver, and UserClient class, StatusUserClient. MyDriver derives from IDriverKit/IOService.iig but (in case this is somehow important) does not have the same name as the project/target name MyBatteryDriver. StatusUserClient derives from DriverKit/IOUserClient.iig. I have os_log(OS_LOG_DEFAULT, "trace messages") code in every method of both classes, including the initializers and Start implementations, and the log entries never seem to show up in Console, so I presume that means the OS never tried to load the driver. Unless I'm looking in the wrong place? Because I don't think the driver code is the current issue, I won't go into it unless it becomes necessary. As I mentioned above, I think this is a code signing / entitlements issue, but I don't know how to resolve it. In our Apple Developer account, the Driver's matching identifier has the following capabilities requested: DriverKit (development) DriverKit Allow Any UserClient (development) DriverKit Family HID Device (development) -- NOTE: this is planned for future use, but not yet implemented by my driver code. Could that be part of the problem? DriverKit Transport HID (development) DriverKit USB Transport (development) DriverKit USB Transport - VendorID -- submitted, no response from Apple yet HID Virtual Device -- submitted, no response from Apple. yet. This is vestigial from an early plan to build the bridge via shared memory funneling to a virtual HID device. I think I've found a way to do it with one Service, but... not sure yet. Still, that's a problem for tomorrow. Apparently I've gone over the 7000 character maximum so I will add my entitlements and info.plist contents in a reply.

Hello everyone, I paid for my 1-year developer subscription, but after 48 hours it still seems to be in pending status. Also, the account page seems to think that I have not paid the subscription fee as it claims I need to pay it to continue enrollment. Is anyone else dealing with the same issue? My order number: W1559498493

I have 6 In-App Purchases configured for my app (4 consumables, 2 non-consumables). They all show "Waiting for Review" status in the In-App Purchases section of App Store Connect. However, when I go to my app's version page (App Store tab → scroll through the version metadata), I cannot find an "In-App Purchases" section anywhere to link these IAPs to my app submission. I've scrolled through the entire page - I see Screenshots, Description, Keywords, Build, App Review Information, etc. - but no IAP section with a "+" button to add my products. When testing via TestFlight with a sandbox account, the app shows "Store is currently unavailable" - I believe this is because the IAPs aren't properly linked to the app. What I've verified: Paid Applications agreement is active All 6 IAPs have status "Waiting for Review" Product IDs match between my code and App Store Connect Sandbox tester account is configured with correct region Build is installed via TestFlight My question: Where exactly should the In-App Purchases section appear on the version page? Is there a step I'm missing to link my IAPs to the app version? Or do IAPs in "Waiting for Review" status automatically get included? more specifically, my app review is getting kicked back because my app store purchases are not available or showing, and ive verified everything i can to ensure that they should be available when testing.

Hello, I am trying to upload a watchOS standalone app to App Store Connect using Xcode 26.3, but Organizer does not show the “App Store Connect” upload option. It only displays: • Release Testing (Ad Hoc) • Enterprise • Debugging Project setup • Target type: watchOS App (standalone, not companion) • PRODUCT_TYPE = com.apple.product-type.application • PRODUCT_BUNDLE_PACKAGE_TYPE = APPL • WRAPPER_EXTENSION = app • SUPPORTED_PLATFORMS = watchos watchsimulator • Archive configuration: Release • Base SDK: watchOS The app does not depend on iOS. Bundle ID Originally: com.example.app.watchkitapp Recreated as: com.example.app HealthKit capability enabled in: • Developer Portal • Xcode (Signing & Capabilities) Signing • Apple Distribution certificate active • App Store provisioning profile created • Manual signing configured for Release (Apple Distribution + App Store profile) • Also tested Automatic signing • Deleted old Ad Hoc profiles • Cleared Derived Data and regenerated archive App Store Connect • App created successfully using bundle ID com.example.app • Account role: Account Holder • No pending Agreements, Tax, or Banking items Despite a valid Release archive signed with Apple Distribution, Organizer only allows Ad Hoc distribution and never shows “App Store Connect”. Is this a known issue in Xcode 26 affecting independent watchOS apps, or is there an additional configuration step required? Thank you.

I'm developing a watchOS nap app that detects when the user falls asleep by monitoring heart rate changes. == Technical Implementation == HKWorkoutSession (.mindAndBody) for background execution HKAnchoredObjectQuery for real-time heart rate data CoreMotion for movement detection == Battery Considerations == Heart rate monitoring ONLY active when user explicitly starts a session Monitoring continues until user is awakened OR 60-minute limit is reached If no sleep detected within 60 minutes, session auto-ends (user may have abandoned or forgotten to stop) App displays clear UI indicating monitoring is active Typical session: 15-30 minutes, keeping battery usage minimal == The Problem == HKWorkoutSession affects Activity Rings during the session. Users receive "Exercise goal reached" notifications while resting — confusing. == What I've Tried == Not using HKLiveWorkoutBuilder → Activity Rings still affected Using builder but not calling finishWorkout() (per https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/780220) → Activity Rings still affected WKExtendedRuntimeSession (self-care type) (per https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/721077) → Only ~10 min runtime, need up to 60 min HKObserverQuery + enableBackgroundDelivery (per https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/779101) → ~4 updates/hour, too slow for real-time detection Audio background session for continuous processing (suggested in https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/130287) → Concerned about App Store rejection for non-audio app; if official approves this technical route, I can implement in this direction Some online resources mention "Health Monitoring Entitlement" from WWDC 2019 Session 251, but I could not find any official documentation for this entitlement. Apple Developer Support also confirmed they cannot locate it? == My Question == Is there any supported way to: Monitor heart rate in background for up to 60 minutes WITHOUT affecting Activity Rings or creating workout records? If this requires a special entitlement or API access, please advise on the application process. Or allow me to submit a code-level support request. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I am writing a DriverKit driver for the first that uses the USBSerialDriverKit. The driver its purpose is to expose the device as serial interface (/dev/cu.tetra-pei0 or something like this). My problem: I don't see any logs from that driver in the console and I tried like 40 different approaches and checked everything. The last message I see is that the driver get successfully added to the system it is in the list of active and enabled system driver extensions but when I plug the device in none of my logs appear and it doesn't show up in ioreg.

Third-party virtual HID devices loaded via DriverKit no longer receive events from the built-in keyboard. External keyboards are unaffected. This is already confirmed across multiple users: https://github.com/pqrs-org/Karabiner-Elements/issues/4402 One possible lead (from LLM-assisted code analysis, not independently verified): this could be related to a security policy referred to as com.apple.iohid.protectedDeviceAccess, which may block IOHIDDeviceOpen for the Apple Internal Keyboard via SPI transport (AppleHIDTransportHIDDevice). A "GamePolicy" check in IOHIDDeviceClass.m that gates HID device access could be involved. This is a hint, not a confirmed root cause. The impact goes well beyond a single project. Keyboard remapping on macOS is a thriving ecosystem — used for accessibility, ergonomics, developer productivity, and multilingual input. This is one of macOS's strengths as a platform. Many professionals specifically choose Mac because this level of customization is possible. If this capability is being removed without an alternative, it would significantly diminish what makes macOS attractive for power users and developers. Is this an intentional architectural change to the input event pipeline for built-in keyboards, or a beta regression? If intentional, what is the recommended alternative for developers?

Some users have switched to wearing smart rings instead of an Apple Watch, but they still want their rings to close throughout the day in Apple Fitness to keep their streaks going. I've noticed that the 3rd party smart ring apps do not affect the progress of the exercise and move rings unless the user puts on their Apple Watch and syncs with there iPhone throughout the day. Is there a way to make the progress rings update throughout the day without having to connect an Apple Watch periodically?

I developed a cloud drive using fskit, but after mounting it, it did not appear in the Finder sidebar and the disk tool could not list it. How should I adapt? The mounting looks successful, and you can also open and see the fixed files I wrote in the code. I have also turned on the Finder sidebar settings function

Hello everyone, I’m currently experiencing unusually long wait times for app reviews and wanted to check if others are seeing similar delays this week. Here is the current status of my submissions: App Store Update: Stuck in "Waiting for Review" much longer than the typical 24–48 hour window. New Version: A newly submitted version also seems to be stalled in the initial phase. TestFlight Processing: Even TestFlight builds are taking longer than usual to process. Expedited Review: I've attempted an expedited review request and direct communication, but the status remains unchanged so far. What’s confusing is that I see other apps in the same category receiving updates, so I’m unsure if this is a localized technical glitch or a broader delay affecting a specific group of developers. I’m not looking to escalate anything just yet; I’m simply trying to gauge if this is a widespread issue at the moment. I would greatly appreciate any insights into your recent experiences or if you've noticed similar patterns over the last few days. Thanks in advance, and good luck to everyone with pending submissions! 🙂

Hello, I am attempting to implement a simple button that loads persistent data from a class (see below). Button("Reload Data") { while tableData2.isEmpty == false{ tableData2.remove(at: 0) } while tableView.isEmpty == false{ tableView.remove(at: 0) } //update if csvData.isEmpty == false{ for superRow in csvData[0].tableData2{ tableData2.append(superRow) } for supperRow in csvData[0].tableView{ tableView.append(supperRow) } print("Item at 0: \(csvData[0].tableData2[[0][0]])") print("\(tableData2[0][0])") } else { print("csvData is empty") } } This button DOES work to appropriately print the data stored at the printed location once loaded in initially. The problem is that it doesn’t work across app restarts, which is the whole point of the button. Below I will include the rest of the relevant code with notes: In contentView declaring the persistant variables: Query private var csvData: [csvDataPersist] Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext The simple class of data I’m storing/pulling to/from: @Model class csvDataPersist{ var tableView: [[String]] = [] var tableData2: [[String]] = [] init(tableView: [[String]], tableData2: [[String]]) { self.tableView = tableView self.tableData2 = tableData2 } } In (appname)App: I tried both locations of the model container but it didn’t seem to matter var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() .modelContainer(for: csvDataPersist.self) } //.modelContainer(for: csvDataPersist.self) .modelContainer(sharedModelContainer) } How I’m attempting to save the data: let newCSVDataPersist = csvDataPersist(tableView: tableView, tableData2: tableData2) //modelContext.rollback() //for superrow in csvData.count{ // csvData[superrow].tableData2.removeAll() //} //modelContext.rollback() //csvData[0].tableData2.removeAll() //csvData[0].tableView.removeAll() if csvData.isEmpty == false { print("not empty, deleting prev data") modelContext.delete(csvData[0]) } else { print("it empty, load data.") } modelContext.insert(newCSVDataPersist) //try modelContext.save() Note that I’ve tried just about every combination of enabling and disabling the commented out lines. This is the part of the code I am the least confident in, but after trying for hours to troubleshoot on my own I would appreciate any input from the community. Something else that may be of note, in a previous attempt, upon a second startup, the terminal would print: "coredata: error: error: persistent history (random number) has to be truncated due to the following entities being removed: ( csvdatapersist )" Why is csvDataPersist getting removed? What is it getting removed by? Looking up this error was fruitless. Most sites instructed me to basically hard reset my simulators, clean the build, restart my computer, and try again. I've done all of these things about a hundred times at this point, with no results. Any help would be much appreciated!

Dear Xcode cloud support. on 30.1.2026 Xcode cloud was not able to connect to our git server. so I deleted the repository from app store connect Xcode cloud settings and deleted the Xcode cloud in app store connect for all our apps. I started to create Xcode cloud workflow from Xcode and when I want to Grant Access - Register GitLab Application - to our git repository I get and error : "504 Client Timeout. If you are using a firewall, it must be configured to accept incoming connections." git is behind VPN but the IP address ranges 17.58.0.0/18, 17.58.192.0/18, and 57.103.0.0/22 are white labeled and before 30.1.2026 it was working. I contacted the gitlab administrators and they acknowledged that during "Register GitLab Application" they see no traffic (in gltlab and proxy server) from xcode cloud. I tried "Register GitLab Application" multiple times until now with same error. It is not app specific because this error happens for all our apps. Thanks a lot yours sincerely, Zoltan Bognar More Info: Source Control Provider: git-lab self-managed, tested with web browser: safari, chrome I can provide additional info like Primary repository, App store team ID, Entity Name, Link to repository, Application ID to grant access, and bundle id. if needed.

I accidentally paid twice for Apple Developer Membership, can you refund me? I also want to know what is the status of my first enrollment, 3 days passed since I enrolled.
