Hello Apple Team
We are integrating App Attest with our backend and seeing a 400 Bad Request response when calling the attestation endpoint. The issue is that the response does not include an X-Request-ID or JSON error payload with id and code, which makes it hard to diagnose. Instead, it only returns a receipt blob.

Problem
The response does not include X-Request-ID.
The response does not include JSON with id or code.
Only a receipt blob is returned.
Questions
Can the x-b3-traceid be used by Apple to trace this failed request internally?
Is it expected for some failures to return only a receipt blob without X-Request-ID?
How should we interpret this error so we can handle it properly in production?
Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Hi,
We are using the MSAL library to authenticate users, with SSO authentication implemented through the Microsoft Authenticator app.
The problem is that once or twice a day, a prompt for forced authentication appears, indicating that silent token acquisition is failing and resulting in a requirement for forced authentication. Below are some of the logs:
=================================================
2025-08-28 11:00:05.034 [Info] [AppDelegate.swift:121] application(:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) > MSAL message: TID=751353 MSAL 1.8.1 iOS 18.5 [2025-08-28 10:00:05 - EC9D1457-2D70-4878-926F-553391EBC9D3] [MSAL] Silent flow finished. Result (null), error: -51115 error domain: MSIDErrorDomain
2025-08-28 11:00:05.034 [Info] [AppDelegate.swift:121] application(:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) > MSAL message: TID=751353 MSAL 1.8.1 iOS 18.5 [2025-08-28 10:00:05 - EC9D1457-2D70-4878-926F-553391EBC9D3] [MSAL] acquireTokenSilent returning with error: (MSALErrorDomain, -50002) Masked(not-null)
====================================================
We initially raised this issue with Microsoft, but according to them:
In the app's logs, the single one failure it contains, was when the SSO extension returned the error com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError, -6000 during a silent call. This error code is generated by the system framework (Apple), not by our code. It indicates that the framework encountered an unexpected internal issue before or after calling the SSO extension.
MSAL returning interaction_required to the client app is the most effective way to recover from this error (as you mention, after the user selects the account the app continues working as expected).
Additionally, as you also mention, the interactive call is made by switching to Authenticator (not displaying a "window" without leaving Eva Lite app), which means MSAL is not able to use the SSO extension and is using the fallback to legacy authentication.
The recommended next step is for the customer to request support directly from Apple as this is an issue on their side. Additionally, the customer can also try to update to the latest iOS, in case Apple has already fixed this issue.
=============================================
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
There is no such steps its just that this is an enterprise application which is getting used on managed devices[iPhone 14]. The device are managed using some intune policy.
Platform and Version:
iOS
Development Environment: Xcode 15, macOS 13.6.1
Run-time Configuration: iOS 18
Please let me know if there are any solutions to resolve this problem. Thank you.
Hi ,
I have a requirement like,
Develop an app for iPad and app uses .net core apis.
App will be in kiosk mode, and app doesn't have any type of authentication even OTP also.
As the apis will be publishing to all over internet, how can we achieve security to apis?
Kindly provide suggestions for this implementation
We’ve noticed an unexpected behavior in our production iOS app where the UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor value occasionally changes, even though:
The app is distributed via the App Store (not TestFlight or Xcode builds)
We do not switch provisioning profiles or developer accounts
No App Clips, App Thinning, or other advanced features are in use
There’s no manual reinstall or device reset in the scenarios observed (as per user feedback)
Any insights or confirmations would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Would really appreciate support with this invalid_client issue:
I have a web app and have aligned the JWT Header and Payload
JWT Header
{
"alg": "ES256",
"kid": "ABC123DEFG"
}
JWT Payload
{
"iss": "DEF123GHIJ",
"iat": 1234567890,
"exp": 1234567890,
"aud": "https://appleid.apple.com",
"sub": "com.yourapp.service"
The domains and callback are aligned and correct
I've even created a new p8 and updated the Key_ID
Sending Credentials to Apple (Token Request) Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
However, still no luck. Can anyone assist with identifying the possible error?
Many thanks

Recently, we have adapted the passkey function on the Mac, but we always encounter the error message "Unable to verify the web credentials association of xxx with domain aaa. Please try again in a few seconds."
We can confirm that https://aaa/.well-known/apple-app-site-association has been configured and is accessible over the public network. Additionally, the entitlements in the app have also been set with webcredentials:aaa.
This feature has been experiencing inconsistent performance. When I restart my computer or reinstall the pkg, this feature may work or it may still not work. I believe this is a system issue.
Here is feed back ID: FB20876945
In the feedback, I provided the relevant logs.
If you have any suggestions or assistance, please contact me. I would be extremely grateful!

Hi,
A user logs in to the file vault, and DisableFDEAutoLogin is false. The file vault login succeeds, but the login to the selected user fails. The user gets the login screen again. If the user puts an invalid password to try and login again, the loginwindow:FDESupport plugin will change the user's password to the invalid one.
Hi everyone,
I’m working on adapting our app to iOS 26’s new passkey feature, specifically Automatic Passkey Upgrades.
https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2025/279/
Our app already supports passkey registration and authentication, which have been running reliably in production. We’d like to extend passkey coverage to more users.
According to the WWDC session, adding the parameter requestStyle: .conditional to createCredentialRegistrationRequest should allow the system to seamlessly upgrade an account with a passkey. However, in my testing, I consistently receive the following error:
Error | Error Domain=com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError Code=1001 "(null)"
Test environment:
Xcode 26.0 beta 4 (17A5285i)
iPhone 11 running iOS 26.0 (23A5297n)
Questions:
Is the Automatic Passkey Upgrades feature currently available in iOS 26?
I understand that the system may perform internal checks and not all upgrade attempts will succeed. However, during development, is there a way to obtain more diagnostic information? At the moment, it’s unclear whether the failure is due to internal validation or an issue with my code or environment.
Thanks.
Dear Apple Developer Support,
We are currently encountering a recurring issue with the DeviceCheck API across multiple devices in our production environment.
The following error is frequently returned:
com.apple.devicecheck.error 0 We would like to ask the following:
What are the possible underlying causes that could lead to this specific error code (0) in the DeviceCheck API?
Is there any known behavior or condition where Wi-Fi network configurations (e.g., DNS filtering, proxy settings, captive portals) could result in this error?
Are there known timeouts, connectivity expectations, or TLS-level requirements that the DeviceCheck API enforces which could fail silently under certain network conditions?
Is this error ever triggered locally (e.g., client library-level issues) or is it always from a failed communication with Apple’s servers?
Any technical clarification, documentation, or internal insight into this error code would be greatly appreciated. This would help us significantly narrow down root causes and better support our users
Hello.
Some of my users are signing in using "Sign in with Apple" and choosing the "Hide My Email" option. As expected, Apple generates a private relay email address. However, emails that we send to these addresses are not being delivered — the users report that they are not receiving anything.
We’ve configured our email sending domains in the Apple Developer portal, and all domains have been successfully verified with SPF records marked as OK.
Our system is sending the emails as usual, and we're not receiving any bounce-back or error messages. Everything looks fine on our end.
Is there something specific we need to configure to ensure emails sent to privaterelay.appleid.com addresses are delivered correctly?
Are there any known limitations or additional requirements for using Apple's private relay service?
Thank you!
Hi folks
We have a Developer ID Application which we create using electron.
We made our last release for our Application on Nov'24 which was correctly working.
Using the same code, we tried creating a notarized application again which started showing the following error while opening our Application.
Monterey-
M2-
When we directly run the dmg on the dev machine, it does not give us the prompt. But if we download it from somewhere and run, the prompt comes up even in dev machine.
We executed some commands to verify the notarization:
1- spctl --assess -vv /Applications/Refresh\ Pro.app
On both dev machine and non-dev machine, the output was "accepted"
/Applications/Refresh Pro.app: accepted
source=Notarized Developer ID
origin=Developer ID Application: Prograde Digital Incorporated (*******)
2- xcrun stapler validate /Applications/Refresh\ Pro.app
On dev machine, we executed this command and the output is as follows.
Processing: /Applications/Refresh Pro.app
The validate action worked!
3- codesign -vvv --deep --strict /Applications/Refresh\ Pro.app/
/Applications/Refresh Pro.app: valid on disk
/Applications/Refresh Pro.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement
We have created a bug attaching the dmg. Please suggest anything we can try to make the release out the door.

I've just implemented Sign-In-With-Apple and everything is working perfectly, but my app seems to be in some strange state where users are unable to remove it from the Sign-In-With-Apple section of their settings.
Things I've tried:
-- Deleting from Mac. (It just stays in the list)
-- Deleting from the iPhone (It stays in the list)
-- Deleting from account.apple.com (same issue)
-- I've noticed in the browser inspector tools I receive a 200 on the DELETE request, but the app remains.
-- Multiple users
Also have tried:
-- Revoking the token through the REST API
-- I get an email saying the token has been revoked, but it's still working
-- Same code, different app id (works fine!)
It seems like maybe my app is in some sort of weird state? Has anyone come across this before?
The header documentation for the (deprecated) LAContext.evaluatedPolicyDomainState property contains the following:
@warning Please note that the value returned by this property can change exceptionally between major OS versions even if the state of biometry has not changed.
I noticed that the documentation for the new LAContext.domainState property does not contain a similar warning. I also found this related thread from 2016/17.
Is the domainState property not susceptible to changes between major OS versions? Or is this generally not an issue anymore?
Hi, is it legal to use open APIs to get the users's country country code using the Ip address in the app? I mean I want to know the user country for the game leaderboards data, and there are sites say this is free and open. So, I have two questions, first, is this making the user calling open api to get its country code concept legal? second question, what if these sites suddenly decided that it is not legal to use their apis for commercial use, and i miss that announcement; will you remove my app from the store? or what action will you take exactly?
I have a project with a single app target that serves two environments, and two schemes, one for each env, using xcconfig files for defining environment-specific stuff.
I'm trying to figure this out for months, so I've tried multiple approaches throughout this period:
Have a single domain in "Associated domains" in Xcode, defined as webcredentials:X where X gets replaced using a value from xcconfig.
Have two domain entries in "Associated domains" webcredentials:PROD_DOMAIN and webcredentials:STAGING_DOMAIN.
Have a different order of domains
Results are very interesting: whatever I do, whatever approach I take, password autofill works on staging, but doesn't work on production. I'm aware that we need to test production on Test Flight and AppStore builds. That's how we're testing it, and it's not working. Tested on multiple devices, on multiple networks (wifi + mobile data), in multiple countries.. you name it.
The server side team has checked their implementation a dozen times; it's all configured properly, in the exact same way across environments (except bundle ID, ofc).
We tried a couple websites for validating the apple-app-site-association file, and while all of those are focused on testing universal links, they all reported that the file is configured properly. Still, password autofill doesn't work.
I prefer not to share my app's domains publicly here. Ideally I would contact Apple Developer Support directly, but they now require a test project for that, and since 'a test project' is not applicable to my issue, I'm posting here instead.
Hello everyone,
We recently transferred our iOS app from one Apple Developer account to another, and after the transfer, we encountered a serious issue where all previously stored Keychain data and the local database became inaccessible.
As a result, all users are automatically logged out and lose access to their locally stored data (such as chat history) once they update to the new version signed with the new Team ID.
We understand that Keychain items are tied to the App ID prefix (Team ID), which changes during an app transfer. However, we’re looking for possible workarounds or best practices to avoid user data loss.
Questions:
Is there any reliable method to maintain or migrate access to old Keychain data after an app transfer?
Would reverting the app back to the original developer account and releasing an update from there (to persist or migrate data) before transferring it again be a viable solution?
Has anyone faced a similar issue and found a practical way to handle data persistence during an app transfer?
Any guidance, technical suggestions, or shared experiences would be highly appreciated. This issue is causing major impact for our users, so we’re hoping to find a safe and supported approach.
Thank you,
Mohammed Hassan
I have a launch daemon that's using the Endpoint Security framework which also is causing high memory usage (in Activity Monitor memory column shows for example 2GB and Real Memory 11MB) when building a big project in Xcode. Is it some kind of memory caching by the system? leaks -forkCorpse seems to not show any leaks.
How can I attach with heap or Instruments without the process being killed with "ENDPOINTSECURITY, Code 2 EndpointSecurity client terminated because it failed to respond to a message before its deadline"?
I'm experiencing an issue with Sign In with Apple integration in my React Native Expo app (Bundle ID: com.anonymous.TuZjemyApp).
Problem Description:
When users attempt to sign in using Sign In with Apple, they successfully complete Face ID/password authentication, but then receive a "Sign-Up not completed" error message. The authentication flow appears to stop at this point and doesn't return the identity token to my app.
Technical Details:
Frontend Implementation:
Using expo-apple-authentication.
Requesting scopes: FULL_NAME and EMAIL
App is properly configured in app.json with:
usesAppleSignIn: true
Entitlement: com.apple.developer.applesignin
Backend Implementation:
Endpoint: POST /api/auth/apple
Using apple-signin-auth package for token verification
Verifying tokens with audience: com.anonymous.TuZjemyApp
Backend creates/updates user accounts based on Apple ID
Question:
I'm not sure why the authentication flow stops with "Sign-Up not completed" after successful Face ID verification. The identity token never reaches my app. Could you please help me understand:
What might cause this specific error message?
Are there any additional Apple Developer Portal configurations required?
Could this be related to app capabilities or entitlements?
Is there a specific setup needed for the app to properly receive identity tokens?
I set up provisioning profiles, and added Sign in with Apple as a capability and still it doesn't work.
Hello, I am at wits' end with the Apple Sign-in api. I have tested in stage and it works beautifully, but when i push to production it gives me the error "invalid_client".
I'm confident the setup is correct, when I asked Apple for help over the phone, they sent me a few forums with no answers.
Has anyone had the same issue? How did you resolve?
Could it be because I have two app IDs and two service IDs? (prod + stage)
Help!

I'm working on integrating Passkey functionality into my iOS app (targeting iOS 16.0+), and I'm facing an issue where the system dialog still shows the "Save to another device" option during Passkey registration. I want to hide this option to force users to create Passkeys only on the current device.
1. My Current Registration Implementation
Here’s the code I’m using to create a Passkey registration request. I’ve tried to use ASAuthorizationPlatformPublicKeyCredentialProvider (which is supposed to target platform authenticators like Face ID/Touch ID), but the "Save to another device" option still appears:
`// Initialize provider for platform authenticators
let provider = ASAuthorizationPlatformPublicKeyCredentialProvider(relyingPartyIdentifier: domain)
// Create registration request
let registrationRequest = provider.createCredentialRegistrationRequest(
challenge: challenge,
name: username,
userID: userId
)
// Optional configurations (tried these but no effect on "another device" option)
registrationRequest.displayName = "Test Device"
registrationRequest.userVerificationPreference = .required
registrationRequest.attestationPreference = .none
// Set up authorization controller
let authController = ASAuthorizationController(authorizationRequests: [registrationRequest])
let delegate = PasskeyRegistrationDelegate(completion: completion)
authController.delegate = delegate
// Trigger the registration flow
authController.performRequests(options: .preferImmediatelyAvailableCredentials)`
2. Observation from Authentication Flow (Working as Expected)
During the Passkey authentication flow (not registration), I can successfully hide the "Use another device" option by specifying allowedCredentials in the ASAuthorizationPlatformPublicKeyCredentialAssertionRequest. Here’s a simplified example of that working code:
let assertionRequest = provider.createCredentialAssertionRequest(challenge: challenge)
assertionRequest.allowedCredentials = allowedCredentials
After adding allowedCredentials, the system dialog no longer shows cross-device options—this is exactly the behavior I want for registration.
3. My Questions
Is there a similar parameter to allowedCredentials (from authentication) that I can use during registration to hide the "Save to another device" option?
Did I miss any configuration in the registration request (e.g., authenticatorAttachment or other properties) that forces the flow to use only the current device’s platform authenticator?
Are there any system-level constraints or WebAuthn standards I’m overlooking that cause the "Save to another device" option to persist during registration?
Any insights or code examples would be greatly appreciated!
