Team-scoped keys introduce the ability to restrict your token authentication keys to either development or production environments. Topic-specific keys in addition to environment isolation allow you to associate each key with a specific Bundle ID streamlining key management. For detailed instructions on accessing these features, read our updated documentation on establishing a token-based connection to APNs.

I am trying to implement in-app purchases in Apple TV. I added a "non-consumable" product and started testing in Sandbox, but it did not work properly. While I am trying to fetch the product from the appstore, it won't give any responses like success or failure. So that our app gets rejected in the App Store. Please provide me the steps to implement in-app purhcase in Apple tvos using Swift. Note: The same code is working fine in iOS.

I've got a problem with compatibility with Swift6 in iOS app that I have no idea how to sort it out. That is an extract from my main app file @MainActor @main struct LangpadApp: App { ... @State private var notificationDataProvider = NotificationDataProvider() @UIApplicationDelegateAdaptor(NotificationServiceDelegate.self) var notificationServiceDelegate var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { TabView(selection: $tabSelection) { ... } .onChange(of: notificationDataProvider.dateId) { oldValue, newValue in if !notificationDataProvider.dateId.isEmpty { tabSelection = 4 } } } } init() { notificationServiceDelegate.notificationDataProvider = notificationDataProvider } } and the following code shows other classes @MainActor final class NotificationServiceDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate, UNUserNotificationCenterDelegate { var notificationDataProvider: NotificationDataProvider? func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey : Any]? = nil) -> Bool { UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self return true } func setDateId(dateId: String) { if let notificationDataProvider = notificationDataProvider { notificationDataProvider.dateId = dateId } } nonisolated func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse) async { // After user pressed notification let content = response.notification.request.content if let dateId = content.userInfo["dateId"] as? String { await MainActor.run { setDateId(dateId: dateId) } } } nonisolated func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification) async -> UNNotificationPresentationOptions { // Before notification is to be shown return [.sound, .badge, .banner, .list] } } @Observable final public class NotificationDataProvider : Sendable { public var dateId = "" } I have set Strict Concurrency Checking to 'Complete.' The issue I'm facing is related to the delegate class method, which is invoked after the user presses the notification. Current state causes crash after pressing notification. If I remove "nonisolated" keyword it works fine but I get the following warning Non-sendable type 'UNNotificationResponse' in parameter of the protocol requirement satisfied by main actor-isolated instance method 'userNotificationCenter(_:didReceive:)' cannot cross actor boundary; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode I have no idea how to make it Swift6 compatible. Does anyone have any clues?

I am a macOS software developer using Xcode and Objective-C. I have a wallpaper app on the App Store, and recently, a few users have asked if the app can be excluded from the ‘Screen Time’ statistics. Is there a way to allow users to choose whether or not the app should appear in the ‘Screen Time’ tracking? I have already set LSUIElement to YES in the info.plist, but the app is still being tracked in ‘Screen Time.

Hi all, I’m developing a Mac OS application with XCode that interacts with iWork documents (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) using ScriptingBridge (and maybe AppleScript). Right now I started with Pages, assuming if it works for Pages, it will likely be similar for Numbers and Keynote. While I can successfully access and modify the main body text (e.g. the “body text” property in a Pages document), I’m having major difficulties accessing the comments (or annotations) within these documents. There are many aspects, but right now what I’m trying to achieve: For a Pages document, I need to scan the document and extract, for each comment: The content of the comment (i.e. the comment’s text). The text that is being commented on. For Numbers, similarly, I need to retrieve the commented cell’s content and the associated comment. For Keynote, the same as Pages, except I manage to get the Presenter Notes. Once done, I could replace the content accordingly. What I’ve tried: Using AppleScript commands such as: every comment of document "Test" Accessing properties like content or range of a comment. Attempting various syntaxes (including using class specifiers) to force AppleScript to recognize comments. Using ScriptingBridge in my Swift code, but I couldn’t find any mapping for a “comment” object in the Pages dictionary. However, all these attempts result in errors such as “cannot convert …” or “this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key …” which leads me to believe that the iWork scripting dictionaries may not expose comments (or annotations) in a scriptable way. Questions: Is there a supported way to access the comments (and the associated commented text) in an iWork document via AppleScript or ScriptingBridge? If so, what is the proper syntax or property name to use? (For example, should I be looking for a class named “comment”, “annotation”, or perhaps something else?) If direct access via AppleScript/ScriptingBridge is not possible, what alternative approaches would you recommend for programmatically extracting comment data from iWork documents? I apologize if my post isn't clear, it is translated from French. Any insights or examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

According to the Apple notification alert received in October 2024, the APNS server certificate update for production is scheduled for February 24, 2025. Has this change been implemented, or is there a platform or method to verify whether this update has been applied in production? If so, where can we check this?"

Prior to Sequoia, Mac Catalyst Apps worked fine when using group folders that started with group. They now get an alert that the Mac Catalyst app is trying to access data from other applications. This may also impact some SwiftUI developers. According to this the documentation for the App Group Entitlements entitlement, on macOS we should begin use the Team Identifier instead of group. Should Mac Catalyst follow the macOS or iOS rules for com.apple.security.application-groups? If they should need to follow the macOS rules now, that creates several issues for developers. We would now need separate build targets to pick up the different Entitlements files. More distressing is that we would need to do some kind of migration process to get our files to the new location. There wouldn't be a transparent way to do so where the user wasn't warned about the application accessing files that don't belong to it. Any clarification on what Mac Catalyst developers should be doing to prepare for Sequoia would be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to migrate my Core Data model to a new version with a new attribute added to it. Since my app supports macOS 13 I am not able to use the newly introduced Staged migrations. After much digging I found that the app is not able to find the Mapping Model when one of the attribute has "Preserve after deletion" enabled. I have enabled migration debbuging using com.apple.CoreData.MigrationDebug 1 I am getting following error error: CoreData: error: (migration) migration failed with error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=134140 "Persistent store migration failed, missing mapping model." What is the way out here?

I got a notification that the Certification Authority (CA) for Apple Push Notification service (APNs) is changing. Does this affect the push service for Apple Wallet passes or just for apps? I have a push service for Apple Wallet passes but no service for apps. I don't use push notification service for anything other than for Apple Wallet Pass push notifications, not at all for apps. Is there anything I need to do or is this not relevant to my situation? If it does, what do I need to change in order to make sure my service still works? Do I just replace the certificate? Is there a standard path where it would live on the server? I'm sure this is a simple thing, but it's been over a decade since I wrote the push service so I'm pretty rusty.

First of all, my English skills are not good, so I wrote an AI program and sent it to complete the questions. sorry. I'm developing a safety monitoring application that requires continuous BLE scanning for temperature and humidity sensors. I need clarification on the technical feasibility of background and sleep mode operation. Key Requirements: Continuous monitoring of BLE advertisements from temperature/humidity sensors Must detect critical temperature/humidity changes immediately Data logging every minute Includes navigation features showing routes Technical Questions: Background Mode Operation If using background modes (bluetooth-central + location): Can we receive BLE advertisements reliably? What is the actual scanning interval limitation? Will CBCentralManagerScanOptionAllowDuplicatesKey limitation affect critical monitoring? Sleep Mode Operation Can the app maintain BLE scanning during device sleep? Would combining with navigation background mode help? Are there any recommended approaches for continuous monitoring? Sample Code of Current Approach: let options: [String: Any] = [ CBCentralManagerOptionShowPowerAlertKey: true, CBCentralManagerOptionRestoreIdentifierKey: "uniqueIdentifier" ] centralManager = CBCentralManager(delegate: self, queue: nil, options: options) // Scanning setup centralManager.scanForPeripherals( withServices: [serviceUUID], options: [CBCentralManagerScanOptionAllowDuplicatesKey: true] ) Has anyone successfully implemented continuous BLE monitoring in background/sleep modes? Are there any special entitlements or techniques that could help achieve this? This is for a safety-critical application where missing sensor data could lead to serious issues. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Dear Apple Developer Support, I am writing to request assistance with an ongoing issue I'm encountering while developing an iOS application that utilizes HealthKit to fetch heart rate data. My goal is to display near real-time heart rate updates continuously same as displaying in the Apple Watch , I want to show in the iPhone Mobile Application for fitness related. I have implemented the following approaches: HKSampleQuery with a Timer: I've set up a timer to periodically fetch the latest heart rate data. Despite these efforts, I'm consistently facing the following problems: Delayed Updates: The heart rate data displayed in the app often doesn't reflect the current heart rate being measured by the Apple Watch. There seems to be a significant synchronization delay. Inconsistent Background Updates: Background updates, even with background app refresh enabled, are not reliable. The app often only updates when brought to the foreground or after being killed and relaunched. Entitlements: The com.apple.developer.healthkit.background-delivery entitlement error is missing. I have thoroughly reviewed Apple's HealthKit documentation, implemented best practices for HealthKit integration, and verified that all necessary permissions are properly configured. I understand that HealthKit may not be designed for true real-time data, but the current level of delay and inconsistency is making it difficult to provide a useful user experience. Could you please provide guidance on whether achieving near real-time heart rate updates continuously in an iOS app using HealthKit is possible? If so, what are the recommended strategies and best practices to overcome these limitations? I have also tested the application on physical devices with Apple Watch, enabled background app refresh, granted permissions, and referred to HealthKit documentation. I would appreciate any insights or suggestions you can offer to help resolve this issue. Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, Venu Madhav

I am trying to do a mass enablement of a merchant ids for a psp. The ids have been approved by apple. I am attempting to add more using the Post Request: https://apple-pay-gateway.apple.com/paymentservices/registerMerchant (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/applepaywebmerchantregistrationapi/register_merchant) but am always getting a Refuse to connect error. What authentication is required to get a 200 successful response?

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.

I am running into some issues when trying to destroy CoreData persistentStores. When a user logs out of my app, I want to completely reset CoreData and delete any existing data. My code to reset CoreData looks like this: let coordinator = self.persistentContainer.persistentStoreCoordinator self.persistentContainer.viewContext.reset() coordinator.persistentStores.forEach { store in guard let url = store.url else { return } do { try coordinator.destroyPersistentStore(at: url, type: .sqlite) _ = try coordinator.addPersistentStore(ofType: NSSQLiteStoreType, configurationName: nil, at: url) } catch { print(error) } } However, my app is crashing with Object 0xb2b5cc80445813de <x-coredata://BDB999D4-49A4-4CB3-AC3A-666AD60BEFC6/AccountEntity/p5> persistent store is not reachable from this NSManagedObjectContext's coordinator It seems this is related to the SwiftUI @FetchRequest wrappers. If I do not open the views where I am using @FetchRequest, the logout goes smoothly. Otherwise, I get the crash above. Has anyone run into anything similar? Is there something else I need to do to get the underlying FRC to release its references to those entities? I was under the impression that calling reset() on the managed object context would be enough to remove those items from memory and get the destroying of the persistent store to go smoothly. Alternately, is there another/better way I should be destroying the DB? Any advice or related observations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

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 want to create automations when the first person comes Home. When Setting up the Automation on the owner device everything seems to be correct. Yet the Automation doesn‘t Wort properly. my girlfriend is listed as admin. when she has a Look at the Automation, the Location of my phone is unknown. the issue is that this leads To the following behaviour. When i come House the Automation Checks if my girlfriend is Home. All Good. When my Grilfriend comes Home the Automation doesn‘t Check where i am But directly execut the Automation.

We are running auto-renewing subscriptions with StoreKit2 and the “get all subscription statuses” API is behaving unexpectedly. record the originalTransactionId from the iPhone to the server side when purchasing a subscription with Storekit2. query the get all subscription statuses API from the server side with the originalTransactionId recorded. get all subscription statuses returns a response, but there is no data in the response that matches the originalTransactionId. I have an error on my system because I have built my system on the assumption that all subscriptions including originalTransactionId will be returned.

Please allow me to confirm the Server Notifications V2 specification. I am aware that if withdrawal an Apple account that has a subscription, the subscription will eventually be cancelled. Regarding Server Notifications V2 notifications with a notificationType of EXPIRED, am I correct in thinking that they will be sent when the subscription expires even if the Apple account is withdrawal?

I get the ApplicationSupportDirectory path like this: let path = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.applicationSupportDirectory, .userDomainMask, true)[0] as String however for FileProvider plugin it looks like: /var/mobile/Containers/Data/PluginKitPlugin/.../Library/Application Support/rclone.conf instead of what I get for an Application: /var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/.../Library/Application Support I need a way to get the Application's Support Directory from the FileProvider plugin. Is that possible? If not, what other shared location I could use to access shared file between these two?

My app monitors users heart beats and if critical reading is noticed, it auto -dials 911 for emergency and ambulance help. I was under the impression that auto-dial may not be permitted or possible on the platform. Can anyone confirm and provide any additional guidance on if it is possible in the newer SDK/API stack or using any 3rd party service ? Thank you in advance!!

I'm writing some code, intended to be run on macOS (not IOS). My code could greatly benefit from using IOReport, which is an undocumented IOKit API for obtaining various metrics like energy consumption on an Apple processor. I don't plan to submit my program to the App Store, but I do plan on making the Git repo containing my code public. My understanding is that using undocumented IOKit APIs is strictly forbidden for IOS or macOS applications intended to be made available on the App Store. But what about programs not intended to be submitted to the App Store, like in my case? I'm wondering if anybody knows what Apple's policy is regarding using undocumented APIs in such a way on macOS.
