I am worried that Rosetta 2 will eventually be removed. I rely on it to run x86-64 Docker containers as well as Windows games through the Game Porting Toolkit. I also use CrossOver very often, which relies on Rosetta. I also use an old version of MuseScore that needs it, and every now and then, I download a legacy Intel Mac app. Thus, I'm worried that Apple will no longer offer it for download in future macOS versions. Are there any plans to remove Rosetta? Since Rosetta is only installed on demand, I have a slight bit of reassurance that it might be offered for download indefinitely, since most casual users naturally won't install it in the future as most general consumer apps are compiled natively for ARM, and the on-demand install cuts down on the bloat included with macOS by default. I hope Rosetta could be offered indefinitely, since many pro-users and gamers rely on it very often, even 10 years from now when Intel Macs are completely unsupported. If Rosetta is removed, I might have to switch back to Windows for many tasks, so I really hope for the continued offering of Rosetta.

Hello! I'm having an issue with my universal links. Apple AASA CDN couldn't get the AASA file. I'm trying to reproduce the issue, but I get the file correctly. curl -A "AASA-Bot/1.0.0" https://hoff.ru/.well-known/apple-app-site-association But, unfortunately, https://app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1/hoff.ru Returns 404 Not Found.

Hi everyone, We’re integrating Apple Calendar (iCalendar) into our Codapet app but haven’t found any official Apple APIs for event management and synchronisation. Currently, we use CalDAV with Apple ID authentication and an app-specific password (ASP), storing the ASP encrypted in our database and decrypting it for each API call. We’re looking for a more secure and recommended approach to this integration. Does Apple provide dedicated APIs for calendar sync, or is there a better alternative to avoid sending the ASP with every request? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

My ASA file is located here https://staging.docyt.com/apple-appsite-association It downloads fine. It does not have .json extension and neither does it reside inside the ./well-known folder. Should it work? Because opening the link https://staging.docyt.com/reset-password is not opening the app installed via TestFlight . Installing via XCode however works fine. Please help

I've been reading this question: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/701945 and watching the videos on background tasks But can't arrive to a concrete solution. Q1: Are there any tips (or sample app) on how to handle a launch in background in a streamlined way? How to have a shared code that is ran for both 'launch in background' & 'launch in foreground'? Specifically the case I'm talking about is: You set up some observance of some OS callback at a Foo screen of your app. Example app should request and then send push-to-start live activity tokens to server. Or setup location tracking. App is then suspended and then later terminated but is eligible for relaunch App is then launched in background because it has requested a push-to-start live activity token or an update for location tracking. User DOES NOT go back to screen Foo. So at this point app is no longer tracking / listening to updates for token update or location changes. How should I architecture my code for this? I'm trying to see if there's a an approach where I can avoid having multiple places in code where I do the same thing. Currently what I'm doing is as such: Q2: Is it then correct to say that anytime you've launched your app, whether it's in foreground or background then you must immediately match 'all observations done by the previous app launch'? Like store items in UserDefaults and upon launch retrieve them and do: handleGeneralAppLaunchFlow() // ALSO if defaults.contains("didLastLaunchSetupLiveActivtiyTokenObservance") { for await ptsToken in Activity<EmojiRangers> .pushToStartTokenUpdates { ... } } if defaults.contains("didLastLaunchSetupLocationTracking") { locationManager = CLLocationManager() locationManager?.delegate = itsDelegate locationManager?.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true locationManager?.showsBackgroundLocationIndicator = true locationManager?.startUpdatingLocation() } // Other checks for prior observance setup Q3: Actually I think even if app is launched in foreground then because you may not end up at screen Foo again, then you must setup things regardless of app state and just based on prior observations set. Right? Q4: And then later if the user ever made it again to screen Foo, then we just skip the re-do of the observance, or maybe to just keep things simple, we'd just redo without over-engineering things? I tried to mark my questions with Q1- Q4.

We are looking to setup domain-bound codes for our app and need to add the associated domain file to our website. We currently do not use Universal Links or Password AutoFill. We have looked at the documentation but are not sure of what the contents of the association file should be to enable domain-bound codes if you are not using Universal Links or Password AutoFill. Can any assistance be provided?

Hi all. I need to save an array of strings in userdefaults. I am using NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: rootObject, requiringSecureCoding: false) to convert array of string to data and then save it in userdefaults. Inorder to retrieve the data back, I am using let data = self.userDefaults.data(forKey: "key")! let unarchiver = try NSKeyedUnarchiver(forReadingFrom: data) unarchiver.requiresSecureCoding = false let array = unarchiver.decodeObject(forKey: NSKeyedArchiveRootObjectKey) as? NSObject This was working perfectly till iOS 18. From iOS 18 in couple of devices, we are getting empty string array while we retrieve the value back from userdefaults. We observed this in an iPhone 12 pro and iPhone 15 running on iOS 18. iPhone 12 pro is facing this issue almost once everyday. In iPhone 15 this happens once in 2-3 days. Tried printing raw data directly from userdefaults. And I can see some data available. But when we convert that back to array of string, I am getting empty. Tried adding logs in catch block. But couldn't get any. What might be the cause of this issue?

The new Core Spotlight APIs in 18.4 and aligned releases for using Apple Intelligence models to summarize messages sort of work? But I'd say in my testing that only about 80% of the requests I send to Spotlight come back to the delegate with summaries and the rest are never returned. No errors logged in the delegate methods. I can't figure out if there's a pattern. Before I dig apart my code, I'm wondering if anyone else here is using these brand-new APIs and has seen anything similar. It's odd because my code to submit to Spotlight to be summarized is the same for all of my entities but some just never seem to be returned.

Hello everyone. I use Translation Framework in my application. During development everything was fine, Translation framework worked well, but after two or three days of using the production version (that was published in AppStore and available for others also!) - my application stopped working. Translation framework gives errors: Error sending 1 paragraphs Error Domain=TranslationErrorDomain Code=16 "Translation failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Translation failed, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offline models not available for language pair} Failed to translate input 0; returning error: Error Domain=TranslationErrorDomain Code=16 "Translation failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Translation failed, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offline models not available for language pair} Received unbridged NSError to API, converting to .internalError: Error Domain=TranslationErrorDomain Code=16 "Translation failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Translation failed, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offline models not available for language pair} Once again - it worked when I developed it, it was released on the AppStore, and suddenly it stopped working!

I want to create a brush similar to a fountain pen, with a three-dimensional feel to the strokes and a distinct tip. Alternatively, is it possible to achieve this by modifying the configuration parameters of a fountain pen brush?

Since iOS 18.3.1, In lower iOS versions it works fine though. QLPreviewController shows a blank white screen instead of showing the document. Additionally, it does not display the 'Done' option at the top-right to close the view. Presenting the QLPreviewController works fine to display the document, but for the second time, it renders the blank white screen as described. While launching QLPreviewControllerView for the first time. I'm receiving the following message in the console and it displays the document. LaunchServices: store (null) or url (null) was nil: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=process may not map database, _LSLine=72, _LSFunction=_LSServer_GetServerStoreForConnectionWithCompletionHandler} Attempt to map database failed: permission was denied. This attempt will not be retried. Closing the QLPreviewController with the help of the 'Done' option from top-right or swipe to close triggers the following message in the console.

Hi all, From what I’ve seen on forums and other sources, it appears that nothing can be done to set the contact poster programmatically. Setting the imageData property affects only the thumbnail image. Does anyone know if this is explicitly documented somewhere? I need this information for a POC document. I watched the iOS 17 keynote (where it was introduced), the Platform State of Union, and other WWDC videos, but I couldn’t find any mention of it. The Contacts framework documentation only explains what can be retrieved from this property and doesn’t mention any way to set the contact poster. If anyone has any information on this, please help! Thanks in advance!

I'm unable to have stickers show in messages even with a new iOS app and a sticker pack extension target. I do see the iMessage App Icon but after tapping it nothing shows and I see a warning: "Error creating the CFMessagePort needed to communicate with PPT" This was tested on simulator and on real device. Xcode 16.1 (16B40) iOS 18.1 & 18.2

Hello! I'm working with universal links in my app and have configured the /.well-known/apple-app-site-association file. Currently, I use the paths array in this file to define URL routing rules. However, I’m struggling to find up-to-date documentation on the pattern syntax supported by the paths field. "paths": [ "/page/*", "NOT /page/*/subpage" ] Could someone clarify: Is the paths array still officially supported, or is it deprecated in favor of the newer components dictionary (as referenced here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/applinks/details-swift.dictionary/components-swift.dictionary)? If paths is still valid, where can I find documentation for its pattern-matching capabilities? I want to ensure my implementation aligns with Apple’s current best practices. Thank you!

I'd like to set the recordingYear in my Spotlight File Importer extension but the property is missing from CSSearchableItemAttributeSet e.g. in the resulting in mdls I'd like to see: kMDItemRecordingYear = 2008; This would allow me to search in Finder by the recording year criteria. There is a recordingDate property and I tried setting it to Date that only has a year but it didn't work. It just resulted in this: kMDItemRecordingDate = "2008-01-01 00:00:00 +0000";

Hello. I'm researching information about Live Caller ID. As I understood Apple using Privacy Pass architecture to retrieve information from the server. I have a question about Privacy Pass Token, where does it stores on device?

Hey everyone, I have an app using the screen time api, I've had quite a few reports from users saying that our monitoring features stop working until they open our app. What happens is that activities and schedules set with the device activity monitor seem to disappear. This is something we check on app re-opens and so we schedule them again and that is why the monitoring starts working again. Of course our current solution is not optimal since our app is mainly passive. Has anyone experienced these kinds of issue ?

Is CallKit still not available in certain countries? like China? If it is, is there a way to get a list of countries?
