I have a renewing monthly subscription in my app and recently added upgrade possibilities to yearly and 6 month subscriptions. Those new subscriptions were reviewed, approved and published to App Store. I'm showing a modal for users in the app from where they can upgrade their subscription. Upgrading was tested with real devices on Sandbox and TestFlight. There has been successful purchases through the in app modal in production app, and directly upgrading from App Store. However, for some users there seems to happen a failed transaction with paymentCancelled error code during the upgrade. The IAP is still successful, their subscription is upgraded and they haven't voluntarily canceled the IAP. The localized description of the error is "Toimintoa ei voitu suorittaa. (Virhe 2 kohteessa SKErrorDomain.)" which translates to "The operation could not be completed. (Error 2 in SKErrorDomain.)" These users have various iPhones (iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 Pro) with up to date iOS versions (>= 18.3.1). I'm receiving DID_CHANGE_RENEWAL_PREF (UPGRADE) server notification of these purchases on my server. I haven't been able to reproduce this error myself. Any ideas why StoreKit might fail the transaction with paymentCancelled error but still successfully upgrade the subscription?

Hi all, I am using SwiftData and cloudkit and I am having an extremely persistent bug. I am building an education section on a app that's populated with lessons via a local JSON file. I don't need this lesson data to sync to cloudkit as the lessons are static, just need them imported into swiftdata so I've tried to use the modelcontainer like this: static func createSharedModelContainer() -> ModelContainer { // --- Define Model Groups --- let localOnlyModels: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [ Lesson.self, MiniLesson.self, Quiz.self, Question.self ] let cloudKitSyncModels: [any PersistentModel.Type] = [ User.self, DailyTip.self, UserSubscription.self, UserEducationProgress.self // User progress syncs ] However, what happens is that I still get Lesson and MiniLesson record types on cloudkit and for some reason as well, whenever I update the data models or delete and reinstall the app on simulator, the lessons duplicate (what seems to happen is that a set of lessons comes from the JSON file as it should), and then 1-2 seconds later, an older set of lessons gets synced from cloudkit. I can delete the old set of lessons if I just delete the lessons and mini lessons record types, but if I update the data model again, this error reccurrs. Sorry, I don't know if I managed to explain this well but essentially I just want to stop the lessons and minilessons from being uploaded to cloudkit as I think this will fix the problem. Am I doing something wrong with the code?

Hello, experts! I'm working on a VOIP application that handles audio calls and integrates with CallKit. The problem occurs when attempting to redial a previously made audio call from the system's call history. When I try to handle the NSUserActivity in the application(_:continue:restorationHandler:) method, it intercepts the INStartAudioCallIntent instead of the expected INStartCallIntent. Background Deprecation Warnings: I'm encountering deprecation warnings when using INStartAudioCallIntent and INStartVideoCallIntent: 'INStartAudioCallIntent' was deprecated in iOS 13.0: INStartAudioCallIntent is deprecated. Please adopt INStartCallIntent instead. 'INStartVideoCallIntent' was deprecated in iOS 13.0: INStartVideoCallIntent is deprecated. Please adopt INStartCallIntent instead. As a result, I need to migrate to INStartCallIntent instead, but the issue is that when trying to redial a call from the system’s call history, INStartAudioCallIntent is still being triggered. Working with Deprecated Intents: If I use INStartAudioCallIntent or INStartVideoCallIntent, everything works as expected, but I want to adopt INStartCallIntent to align with the current iOS recommendations. Configuration: CXProvider Configuration: The CXProvider is configured as follows: let configuration = CXProviderConfiguration() configuration.supportsVideo = true configuration.maximumCallsPerCallGroup = 1 configuration.maximumCallGroups = 1 configuration.supportedHandleTypes = [.generic] configuration.iconTemplateImageData = UIImage(asset: .callKitLogo)?.pngData() let provider = CXProvider(configuration: configuration) Outgoing Call Handle: When making an outgoing call, the CXHandle is created like this: let handle = CXHandle(type: .generic, value: callId) Info.plist Configuration: In the info.plist, the following key is defined: <key>NSUserActivityTypes</key> <array> <string>INStartCallIntent</string> </array> Problem: When trying to redial the audio call from the system's call history, the NSUserActivity received in the application(_:continue:restorationHandler:) method is an instance of INStartAudioCallIntent instead of INStartCallIntent. This happens even though INStartCallIntent is listed in NSUserActivityTypes in the info.plist and I want to migrate to the newer intent as recommended in iOS 13+. Device: iPhone 13 mini iOS version 17.6.1

Hi, We’re developing a BLE peripheral device and encountered a connection issue when connecting two devices (Device A and Device B) simultaneously to an iOS device. Problem: On iOS 18, we are experiencing occasional BLE timeouts and disconnections when both devices are connected at the same time. On iOS 16, we did not encounter this issue under the same conditions. What we’ve tried: Adjusted the connection interval from 30ms to 15ms. This seems to have improved stability somewhat. However, we still observe intermittent timeout/disconnection issues. Questions: Are there any known changes in BLE connection handling or timing constraints in iOS 18? Are there recommended connection parameter settings (interval, latency, timeout, etc.) for multi-device BLE connections in iOS? Is there a way to debug or log more details about the disconnection reasons on the iOS side? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

IOS can record a key, a key video, but there is no key recording function, which is really bad👎Yeah, i hope you guys come on.💪

My server's access to Apple's payment interface (buy. itunes. apple. com/verifiyReceipt) has been unresponsive since the end of March, and I have been searching for a long time without finding any issues. Normally, even if the data is incorrect, there is still a {"status": 21000} response. We are using Alibaba Cloud's virtual servers here. I don't know if Apple has made any adjustments to the interface. If anyone has encountered this problem, please kindly help to answer it. Thank you all.

There is no official documentation specifying the exact criteria for determining a CLVisit. For example, if a user starts at a target location, will the following method be called? func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didVisit visit: CLVisit) This did not work during my testing. It was only successfully triggered when starting from a distant location and arriving at the target point. It would be helpful to know the exact conditions, such as how long a user must stay at a location for it to be considered a visit. Are there any specific thresholds (e.g., minimum duration, distance moved) that determine when this method is triggered?

We sell magazines through a third party app platform called Pocketmags and our website. The magazines have Print, Digital and Combo options available for purchase. Also, this third party app provides the platform to read the digital version of the magazines. Once a user buys a subscription on the website, he/she receives the email with the login information on PocketMags, where he registers his login details and can start reading his subscription. With us, the customer shares his billing/shipping address along with their email id while they make payment. Now we have our own app where through which we want to sell these magazines and have to integrate In-App purchase for selling these digital subscriptions. How do we send the 3rd party subscription access details on email to the user if they do in app purchase?

Good morning, I'm encountering reliability issues with DDC/CI communication when using USB-C connection. Initially using ddc-hi (which uses this package), I ran into several issues that I've partially resolved but still need help addressing. Environment OS: macOS Display Connection: USB-C for _ in 1 ... (numOfRetryAttemps ?? 4) + 1 { for _ in 1 ... max((numOfWriteCycles ?? 2) + 0, 1) { usleep(writeSleepTime ?? 10000) success = IOAVServiceWriteI2C(service, UInt32(ARM64_DDC_7BIT_ADDRESS), UInt32(dataAddress), &packet, UInt32(packet.count)) == 0 } if !reply.isEmpty { usleep(readSleepTime ?? 50000) if IOAVServiceReadI2C(service, UInt32(ARM64_DDC_7BIT_ADDRESS), 0, &reply, UInt32(reply.count)) == 0 { success = self.checksum(chk: 0x50, data: &reply, start: 0, end: reply.count - 2) == reply[reply.count - 1] } } if success { return success } usleep(retrySleepTime ?? 20000) } The result from IOAVServiceReadI2C is not reliable in some cases. Do we have any other API to get VCP code from monitor like Intel version done. The previous APIs weren’t working anymore on the M1 GPU, the IOFramebuffer was now an IOMobileFramebuffer and the IOI2C* functions weren’t doing anything.

I'm working on an app that uses MapKit and CoreLocation. Is there a way to specify what location is simulated for a Preview, or create a preview that behaves as if the user denied location permissions, so that I can easily test my app's behavior in different scenarios? I know that you can simulate different locations in the Simulator, but haven't been able to get the previews within Xcode to have a location other than the center of Apple Park.

Hi all, we are a Software company located in the EU. Or focus is building solutions for closed-loop fuel cards. To allow our customers to move to "virtual" closed-loop cards, we would like to request a HCE Entitlement. When filling the HCE entitlement form non of the provided Use Cases seemed to cover our case. In addition I'm unsure if AID Prefixes are mandatory for the closed-loop use case our App is meant for. I would like to avoid starting an HCE entitlement process with incorrect parameters and delay the overall process due to this. Thanks for any insights / feedback in advance.

I'm working on adding a single Non-Consumable In-App purchase to my app. Essentially a "try before you buy" type thing. Limited functionality unless the app is purchased. I am currently testing this using Xcode and the Manage StoreKit Transactions window. So far most everything appears to be working except for declined pending transactions. If I set Ask to Buy to Enabled, the Ask Permission (for parent or guardian) dialog appears. After pressing the Ask button, I see a transaction listed as Pending Approval. If I Approve the transaction, then my app is notified and all is well. However, if I Decline the transaction then my app is not notified. Is that normal? Also, how do I (i.e. the app) know that there is a pending transaction?

I'm working on a watchOS app that has an iOS counterpart. There will be a subscription required to unlock functionality and I would like the user to be able to make the purchase on either the iPhone or the watch and have both apps unlock. The first link below says that StoreKit 2's Transaction.currentEntitlements will not work in this case like it does with extensions. The second link says it might work but doesn't in the sandbox. What is the best way to make this work? Will it just work in the App Store? Should I use WCSession to send the purchase information from one platform to the other and store it in the keychain? Something else? Via https://www.revenuecat.com/blog/engineering/ios-in-app-subscription-tutorial-with-storekit-2-and-swift/ "Transaction.currentEntitlements can be used in extensions the same way it was used in the previous steps. This works for extensions like Widgets and Intents. However, an iOS app with a companion watchOS app will not work even though Transaction.currentEntitlements can be executed in it. A companion watch app does not stay updated with the same transaction history as its iOS app because they are separate platforms." Via https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/739963 "In TestFlight I was able to confirm that the Watch app and IOS app share in-app purchases. It seems the problems confirming this with Storekit and Sandbox are limits of the testing environments."

Hi Guys, I am having an issue verifying a card when it is pending verification in the Apple Watch Wallet App and the iPhone Wallet. When the user verifies the card in the wallets, they are redirected to verification in my APP. However, the problem is that I don't know which application is calling, whether it is the Apple Watch or the iPhone, because the URL sends me the same serialNumber from the PKPASS. It is impossible to know if the user wants to verify and activate the card on the watch or the iPhone. Because I only receive the following information in the URL: myapp://app-url? passTypeldentifier=paymentpass.com.apple&action =verify&serialNumber=***** The serialNumber is the same from the iPhone Wallet and the Watch Wallet. func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool { let source = options[.sourceApplication] I try to retrieve the source, but it comes back null. It would be the only way to know the originating App. Can someone help me solve this problem?

I'm developing an iPad app and encountered a strange issue with external Bluetooth keyboards. Issue: I have a Bluetooth keyboard set to JIS layout in Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware Keyboard > Keyboard Type. If I connect the keyboard before launching the app, everything works fine, and the input follows the JIS layout. However, if I launch the app first and then turn on the Bluetooth keyboard, the input behaves as if the keyboard is in ANSI layout, even though the settings still show JIS. It seems like iPadOS defaults to ANSI if no external keyboard is connected when the app starts, and later connections do not update the layout properly. Has anyone encountered a similar issue, and is there a programmatic way to ensure that the correct keyboard layout is applied after the keyboard is connected? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!

I'm developing an iOS 18 app using Core Bluetooth on an iPhone 16 Pro to scan for BLE Extended Advertising packets. However, scanning behavior is inconsistent. Sometimes, the app detects extended advertising packets correctly, but other times, it fails to find them even when the advertiser is active. I tested using nRF Connect on both my iPhone 16 Pro and another Android device that I'm also developing an app for. The Android device consistently detects the extended advertising packets, but my iPhone 16 Pro has inconsistent results. Legacy advertising packets are scanned without any issues. The same peripheral is consistently detected on Android and other BLE scanners. I've tested with different scan settings, restarted Bluetooth, and rebooted the device, but the issue persists. Does iOS 18 have any known limitations with BLE Extended Advertising? Any workarounds to improve scanning reliability?

アプリに課金を実装しようと思うのですが、もし不正利用された場合、アプリ側は基本的にApp Storeを通じて対応するよう案内するのが一般的と思いますが、Apple ID不正利用時とクレジットカード不正利用時で、アプリ側が行う標準的な対応プロセスは変わるのか教えていただきたいです。 また下記内容は標準的な対応プロセスとして問題ないでしょうか？
 ■Apple ID不正利用時 → ユーザー自身がAppleサポートに連絡し、パスワード変更・二段階認証の設定・不正購入の返金申請などを行うよう案内する。 ■クレジットカード不正利用時 → まずカード会社への連絡を促すが、アプリ内決済に関してはAppleのカスタマーサポート経由で返金や調査手続きを案内する 不正利用されたユーザーへの対応に備えて、アプリ側が考慮すべきことがあれば教えてください。

As of iOS 18.3 SDK, Core Bluetooth is still mostly an Objective-C framework: key objects like CBPeripheral inherit from NSObjectProtocol and does not conform to Sendable. CBCentralManager has a convenience initializer that allows the caller to provide a dispatch_queue for delegate callbacks. I want my Swift package that implements Core Bluetooth to conform to Swift 6 strict concurrency checking. It is unsafe to dispatch the delegate events onto my own actor, as the passed in objects are presumably not thread-safe. What is the recommended concurrency safe way to implement Core Bluetooth in Swift 6 with strict concurrency checking enabled?

Hi all, I would like to know if kext consent can still be disabled on Apple Silicon Macs. I tried spctl kext-consent disable in recovery OS, but after rebooting spctl kext-consent status still returns ENABLED. Is this command disabled or something?

What is the version policy for the Apple Pay SDK Javascript ? The documentation refers to this link : https://applepay.cdn-apple.com/jsapi/1.latest/apple-pay-sdk.js The future updates will overrride the file on that link ? Is there a way to be notified of any changes ? We are using a previous version named v1 : https://applepay.cdn-apple.com/jsapi/v1/apple-pay-sdk.js What are the risks not using changing to the lastesdt link ? Thank you for your help.
