Hello within these last two updates find my location has been turned off for my other phone number, only a specific number can’t see my location, but everyone else can see my location, I am puzzled as to what is going on

Our IMDF indoor maps submission is stuck on "Occupants data in review" for several months and I can't ahold of that team (their email doesn't work). I've been told they have a backlog, but the other steps were pretty fast. How long is the expected completion? Thank you!

I'm trying to scan for Beacon's in a visionos app iBeacon detection via CoreLocation (like CLBeacon or CLBeaconRegion) isn't supported on visionOS, so I went for CoreBluetooth + Manual Beacon Parsing Problem is I don't get my beacons scanned, only the other bluetooth devices central.scanForPeripherals(withServices: nil, options: [CBCentralManagerScanOptionAllowDuplicatesKey:true]) what should I do?

I have just a thin blue line as the route polyline and it is quite different not to think that this ist just a small river? Does anyone have an idea how to change the color and the strike width (line width) of the polyline (between Essen and Dortmund). The solution by Gemini and ChatGPT is not working...

Hey everyone, I’m using MapKit JS in a web app and wanted to ask if anyone has experience optimizing its loading performance. Initially, I was using the core version of MapKit JS, but some users reported issues—certain modules weren’t immediately available, and they had to wait quite a while before the map became usable. Switching to the full version helped somewhat, but I’m still seeing delays. In some cases, MapKit JS isn’t fully ready even after 10 seconds. To reduce these delays, I’m considering bundling MapKit JS directly into my site’s JavaScript bundle (rather than loading it externally). My hope is that this could improve load times and reduce dependency on external script loading. Before I try this, I want to make sure this doesn’t go against Apple’s usage policies for MapKit JS. Has anyone tried this approach? Is bundling MapKit JS allowed? Or are there better ways to improve the loading experience? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I'm currently implementing code to track routes and determine if users have arrived at their destination using CLServiceSession, CLBackgroundActivitySession, and CLLocationUpdate.liveUpdates. I want to obtain location data across all app states: foreground, background, and terminated. I have two questions: Background Location Indicator Issue: I'm using CLBackgroundActivitySession to get location updates in the background. Normally, the background location indicator (blue bar) doesn't appear at the top left of the screen for my app. However, when another app (e.g., LiveUpdatesSample) activates CLBackgroundActivitySession, my app's background location indicator suddenly becomes visible. Can you explain why this happens? or Can I Control showsBackgroundLocationIndicator in CLBackgroundActivitySession Session Management: Is there a way to terminate all currently active CLBackgroundActivitySessions? I understand that when CLBackgroundActivitySession is activated and the app is terminated and then relaunched, a new CLBackgroundActivitySession needs to be created. In this case, are the previously created and running CLBackgroundActivitySessions automatically released when the app is relaunched?

My IMDF tour is stuck at Occupants Data in Review

Hello everyone, We've developed a safety application for schools that runs on supervised, MDM-managed iOS devices. The app requires "Location Always" to maintain a persistent background state for its core functionality. The Challenge: Our primary issue is with the periodic background location reminder prompts that iOS automatically presents to the user (e.g., "[App Name] has used your location X times in the past 3 days..."). A screenshot of the exact prompt is attached. While we educate users on the importance of selecting "Always Allow," these recurring prompts make it very easy for a student to downgrade the permission at a later date, which disables the app's safety features. This makes the solution unreliable in a school environment. Our Question: Since these are supervised devices managed by an educational institution, we are looking for a way to manage this behavior. Is there any Info.plist key, entitlement, or API available to developers to influence or suppress these recurring location reminders for our app? From an MDM perspective, is there a known payload or declarative management configuration that can prevent these specific prompts from appearing for a designated app? We understand these prompts are a key privacy feature. Our question is whether there are any provisions for managed, special-purpose environments like a school, where the app's function is considered essential and pre-approved by the device administrator (the school). We are looking for a way to provide a "set it and forget it" configuration for the school, but these reminders currently prevent that. Any architectural advice or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I'm using the Apple Maps Server API (/v1/geocode) to retrieve geocoding results for Japanese addresses. Until recently, requests like the one below returned correct results: GET https://maps-api.apple.com/v1/geocode?q=東京都千代田区千代田1-1&lang=ja-JP Authorization: Bearer <valid JWT> But now, the response is always: { "results": [] } However, when I use the same address with lang: en-US, it returns valid coordinates: GET https://maps-api.apple.com/v1/geocode?q=1-1 Chiyoda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo=en-US "東京都千代田区千代田1-1" is a Japanese address, and "1-1 Chiyoda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo" is the same address written in English. My Questions: Has there been a recent change to the geocoding behavior for Japanese addresses when lang: ja-JP is used? Does the lang parameter affect not only the response language but also the internal parsing logic? Is this a known issue or limitation? The access token is valid and I'm getting a 200 OK response, but results is always empty with lang: ja-JP. Thanks for your help!

Hi, I am using Location Push Service Extension in my app but as soon as my app gets an update Location Extension fails to launch. From the console I can see OS is terminating this process. What could be the reason ? When user launches the app after update the extension starts to work as expected.

I'm making an app that can have locations and links shared to it. I have gotten the share intent working for text and urls with: NSExtensionActivationSupportsWebURLWithMaxCount: 1 NSExtensionActivationSupportsWebPageWithMaxCount: 1 NSExtensionActivationSupportsText: true in Info.plist of the share extension. I am able to share Google Maps locations and safari websites. However, my app does not appear when I share a location on Apple Maps. I also tried the other options in the docs (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/information-property-list/nsextension/nsextensionattributes/nsextensionactivationrule) as well without success. When I share a location (i.e. a shop) in Apple Maps, it looks like a link but perhaps its something else? Does anyone know how to get an app to come up in the share menu of an Apple Maps location? Thanks!

Hello, I'm encountering an issue with UNLocationNotificationTrigger in my iOS app. I've scheduled three local notifications using UNLocationNotificationTrigger, each tied to a distinct geographic region. These regions are significantly distant from one another and should not trigger simultaneously under normal movement conditions. However, during testing, the user received all three notifications within one second, despite being physically located near only one of the regions. This behavior is unexpected and defeats the purpose of using location-based triggers. Could you please clarify why this might be happening? Is there a known issue with UNLocationTrigger, or is there a possibility that iOS preemptively triggers all scheduled location notifications? Any guidance or recommended practices to avoid this behavior would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The problem is that the favorite buttons are reversed: people already marked as favorites show the ‘Favorite’ button, while those who aren’t show ‘Unfavorite’.

I have a marine navigation app which displays GPS quality information when receiving NMEA message from an external GPS. These include the number of satellites and Horizontal Dilution of Precision (HDOP). As far as I can see, the only additional information available through location services (for devices with built in GPS) is horizontal and vertical accuracy. Am I missing anything? Also does anyone know how horizontal accuracy is derived from HDOP?

I have a Nissan Rogue 2021 and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Carplay was working fine until I decided to update to the new beta program and now my carplay does not seem to want to operate at all. I do the fixes online suggest in rebooting both systems, forgetting entirely and reconnecting. In the process of doing so, I can get the prompts to start with "Allow while unlocked?" But once selecting that I am unable to actually use the Carplay from the phone. It doesn't even give option to switch to it when I attempt to change audio output.

One of my apps includes a free weather forecast using WeatherKit. Recently, it started to get more downloads and almost reached the limits of the free tier. I've removed the forecast in newer versions but there's still a substantial amount of users who do not update their apps. Is it possible to somehow remove the capability from existing apps? Thank you!

How to set up iPhone 16 so that the Apple map navigation does not go into a dark screen during use? iOS 26 Developer Beta

Hi everyone, I’m trying to use WeatherKit REST API in my iOS app, but for several days now I always get the same response: WeatherKit capability is enabled in my App ID WeatherKit is enabled in App Services (in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles) WeatherKit REST API is enabled in my developer account JWT is correctly signed with private key from AuthKey_XXXXX.p8 Token contains correct iss, kid, sub, exp, and scope Request is sent to https://weatherkit.apple.com/api/v1/weather/en/50.45/30.52 with Authorization: Bearer Still, the response is always 401 NOT_ENABLED. This is not a temporary issue — I’ve been testing this for over 5 days, regenerating keys, JWTs, and checking the setup. Everything seems correct — but WeatherKit just won’t respond with actual data. Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there something missing in the setup not documented? Thanks in advance!
