How to use Network.framework
It doesn’t seem like there’s any high level, first-party documentation on how to use what is the recommended API for executing networking logic that you otherwise wouldn’t use URLSession for; which is a lot of things. There’s a sample app, and docs on how to choose the right network API in general, but apparently no high level API docs for Network.framework itself. Am I missing something? How do people learn to use this? Know which classes to use? Know the various ways it can be configured?

CarPlay vs. AccessoryKit & NEHotspotHelper
CarPlay woes. I think it's unacceptable that it silently kills an ongoing WiFi connection that has been established using ASAccessoryKit and NEHotspotHelper which is in active use. This is responsible for angry clients because their processes break a lot when they are in reach of the connected car. (And yes, they have to be in the reach of the car, because it is a diagnostic/maintenance app for cars…) Do I really need to ask my clients to unpair from CarPlay before using our app or is there another way?

IOS VPN APP DEPLOYMENT
Hi everyone, I developed an Android version of a VPN app built with Flutter using OpenVPN, and it works perfectly on Android. However, when porting it to iOS, I’ve encountered an issue: the app connects successfully but then automatically disconnects when tested via TestFlight. We’ve already added all the necessary network extensions. Despite this, we decided to submit the app to the App Store. It’s been five days now, and the app is still 'Waiting for Review.' Could anyone share their experience deploying and working on an iOS version of a VPN app? I’d really appreciate your insights!

Rules on AppPushProvider deinitialization
Here's what the documentation says https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/maintaining-a-reliable-network-connection Confirm that your NEAppPushProvider implementation doesn’t create a retain cycle with itself. After you call the completionHandler that the system passes to stop(with:completionHandler:), the Network Extension framework releases your NEAppPushProvider instance. This instance typically deallocates from memory when released, but if the instance has a retain cycle with itself, it fails to deallocate and wastes memory. Failure to deallocate can also cause the system to have two or more instances of your push provider, leading to inconsistent behavior. Use Instruments or add a logging statement to deinit to verify that your NEAppPushProvider deinitializes when expected. I observe that when I turn off the wifi, the AppPushProvider subclass fully deinitializes. But when I call removeFromPreferences on the NEAppPushManager from the app, it calls stop() on my AppPushProvider subclass, but it does not initialize. Should I be alarmed by this behavior? Will this cause a memory leak? Will this cause multiple Extension/AppPushProviders to be operating concurrently? For testing, I've removed everything except for logs and some singleton calls. No closures capturing self, and no strong references of self being passed anywhere. I am also not using the debugger, and am using the console to debug.

urlSession(_:dataTask:didReceive:) not called when using completion handler-based dataTask(w
Description: I'm noticing that when using the completion handler variant of URLSession.dataTask(with:), the delegate method urlSession(_:dataTask:didReceive:) is not called—even though a delegate is set when creating the session. Here's a minimal reproducible example: ✅ Case where delegate method is called: class CustomSessionDelegate: NSObject, URLSessionDataDelegate { func urlSession(_ session: URLSession, dataTask: URLSessionDataTask, didReceive data: Data) { print("✅ Delegate method called: Data received") } } let delegate = CustomSessionDelegate() let session = URLSession(configuration: .default, delegate: delegate, delegateQueue: nil) let request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/get")!) let task = session.dataTask(with: request) // ✅ No completion handler task.resume() In this case, the delegate method didReceive is called as expected. ❌ Case where delegate method is NOT called: class CustomSessionDelegate: NSObject, URLSessionDataDelegate { func urlSession(_ session: URLSession, dataTask: URLSessionDataTask, didReceive data: Data) { print("❌ Delegate method NOT called") } } let delegate = CustomSessionDelegate() let session = URLSession(configuration: .default, delegate: delegate, delegateQueue: nil) let request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/get")!) let task = session.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in print("Completion handler called") } task.resume() Here, the completion handler is executed, but the delegate method didReceive is never called. Notes: I’ve verified this behavior on iOS 16, 17, and 18. Other delegate methods such as urlSession(_:task:didFinishCollecting:) do get called with the completion handler API. This happens regardless of whether swizzling or instrumentation is involved — the issue is reproducible even with direct method implementations. Questions: Is this the expected behavior (i.e., delegate methods like didReceive are skipped when a completion handler is used)? If yes, is there any official documentation that explains this? Is there a recommended way to ensure delegate methods are invoked, even when using completion handler APIs? Thanks in advance!

iOS VPN: Loss of Internet Connectivity on iOS Device post Packet Tunnel Crashes
Title: Loss of Internet Connectivity on iOS Device When Packet Tunnel Crashes Feedback ticket: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/14162605 Product: iPhone 12 Version: iOS - 17.5.1 Configuration: NETunnelProviderManager Configuration Description: We are developing an iOS VPN client and have configured our packet tunnel provider according to Apple's guidelines. The configuration is as follows: includeAllNetworks = YES excludeLocalNetworks = NO enforceRoutes = NO This setup works as expected when the VPN successfully connects. However, we encounter a blocker issue where the device loses internet connectivity if the packet tunnel crashes. Steps to Reproduce: Configure the NETunnelProviderManager with the above settings. Connect the VPN, which successfully establishes a connection. Verify that resources are accessible and internet connectivity is functional. Packet tunnel to crash unexpectedly.Observe that the NE process (Packet Tunnel) restarts automatically, as expected and attempts to reconnect the VPN; however, the device now lacks internet connectivity, preventing VPN reconnection. Try accessing resources using Safari or any other internet-dependent app, resulting in an error indicating the device is not connected to the internet. Actual Results: The device loses internet connectivity after the packet tunnel crashes and fails to regain it automatically, preventing the VPN from reconnecting. Expected Results: The device should maintain internet connectivity or recover connectivity to allow the VPN to reconnect successfully after the packet tunnel process restarts. Workaround - iPhone device needs a restart to regain internet connectivity .

My app suddenly getting "A server with the specified hostname could not be found"
I've had no problem running my app in a simulator or on a device, but today my app is failing on a URLRequest to my local machine (in a sim). From the same simulator I can go to Safari and manually enter the URL that the app is using (and that appears in the error message), and it works fine. I think there was a recent Xcode update; did something change in this regard?

Identity Pinning and reduction of maximum validity period
The CA/Browser Forum has voted (cf. https://groups.google.com/a/groups.cabforum.org/g/servercert-wg/c/9768xgUUfhQ?pli=1) to eventually reduce the maximum validity period for a SSL certificate from 398 days to 47 days by March 2029. This makes statically pinning a leaf certificate rather challenging. What are the consequences for App Transport Security Identity Pinning as it exists today?

"Local network prohibited" 2025 edition
I'm getting "unsatisfied (Local network prohibited)" when trying accessing my local http server running on mac (http://192.168.0.12:8000/test.txt) from an app running on iPhone with iOS 18.4. That's using URLSession, nothing fancy. This is the contents of the plist file of the app: NSAppTransportSecurity NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads true NSAllowsArbitraryLoads true NSAllowsLocalNetworking true NSExceptionDomains 192.168.0.12 NSIncludesSubdomains true NSAllowsLocalNetworking true NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads true NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription Hello The app correctly "prompts" the alert on the first app run, asking if I want to access local network, to which I say yes. Afterwards I could see that Local Network is enabled in iOS settings for the app, yet getting those "Local network prohibited" errors. From testing other global IP + 'http only" sites it feels like NSAllowsArbitraryLoads no longer works as it used to work before. But specifying other test "global" HTTP-only IP addresses in NSExceptionDomains work alright, it's just the local address doesn't. I could access that IP from iOS safari with no problem. The local web site is HTTP only. Googling reveals tons of relevant hits including FAQ articles from Quinn, but whatever I tried so far based on those hits doesn't seem to work.

Understanding when the push provider calls stop() with the noNetworkAvailable reason
I have 3 phones iPhone 14 iOS 18.3 iPhone Xr iOS 18.5 iPhone Xr iOS 18.4.1 My app has a network extension, and I've noticed each phone having their connectivity interupted by calls on the push provider, calling stop with the noNetworkAvailable reason. The point of confusion is that each phone seems to get it's interuption at different times. For example one will get an interuption at 1:00, while the others is fine, while at 3:00 another will get an interuption, while the others are fine. This is confusing since a "no network available" seems to imply a problem with the router, or access point, but if that were the case, one would believe it should affect all the phones on the wifi. I don't see less interuptions on the iPhone14 vs the iPhone Xr. Do you believe the iOS version is affecting the performance? Could you please give me some insight, as to what could be going on inside these phones? P.S. I also see an error pop up when using NWConnection, this is inside the App. The state update handler will sometimes return the state, waiting(POSIX(.ENETDOWN)) Is there any relation to what's going on in the extension?

Network connectivity issue observed on OS 15.4.1
Recently, we have observed that after upgrading to OS 15.4.1, some devices are experiencing network issues. We are using a Network Extension with a transparent app proxy in our product. The user encounters this issue while using our client, but the issue persists even after stopping the client app. This appears to be an OS issue. Below is the sytem logs. In the system logs, it says [C669.1 Hostname#546597df:443 failed transform (unsatisfied (No network route), flow divert agg: 2)] event: transform:children_failed @0.001s In scutil --dns, it says not reachble.

Background Download Support for Large Video Files in visionOS App
Hi everyone, I'm developing a visionOS app that allows users to download large video files (similar to a movie download experience, with each file being around 10 GB). I've successfully implemented the core video download functionality using URLSession, and everything works as expected while the app is active. Now, I’m looking to support background downloading. Specifically, I want users to be able to start a download and then leave the app (e.g., switch apps or return to the home screen) while the download continues in the background. Additionally, I’d like to confirm a specific scenario: If the user starts a download, then removes the headset (keeping the device turned on and connected to power), will the download continue in the background? Or does visionOS suspend the app or downloads in this case? I’m considering using a background URLSessionConfiguration (as done in iOS/macOS) to enable this behavior, but I’m not sure if it behaves the same way on visionOS or if there are special limitations or best practices when handling large downloads on this platform. Any insights or official guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Retrieve Only the Certificates Presented by the Server
Is it possible using the network framework to retrieve the list of certificates presented by the host alone, and not the reconstructed chain assembled by the system? For example, in OpenSSL one can call SSL_get_peer_cert_chain which will return exactly this - a list of the certificates presented by the server. This is useful for when you may want to manually reconstruct the chain, or if the server is misconfigured (for example, is missing an intermediate cert). Is something like this possible with the network framework? If I connect to a host that I know only returns 1 certificate, the trust ref already has the reconstructed chain by the time my code is called: sec_protocol_options_set_verify_block(tlsOptions.securityProtocolOptions, { metadata, trustRef, verifyComplete in let trust = sec_trust_copy_ref(trustRef).takeRetainedValue() let numberOfCertificates = SecTrustGetCertificateCount(trust) // Returns 3 even though the server only sent 1

Secure data transfer
Hi! We are planning to build an app for a research project that collects sensitive information (such as symptoms, photos and audio). We don't want to store this data locally on the phone or within the app but rather have it securely transferred to a safe SFTP server. Is it possible to implement this i iOS, and if so, does anyone have any recommendations on how to do this?

How to use Network.framework
It doesn’t seem like there’s any high level, first-party documentation on how to use what is the recommended API for executing networking logic that you otherwise wouldn’t use URLSession for; which is a lot of things. There’s a sample app, and docs on how to choose the right network API in general, but apparently no high level API docs for Network.framework itself. Am I missing something? How do people learn to use this? Know which classes to use? Know the various ways it can be configured?

CarPlay vs. AccessoryKit & NEHotspotHelper
CarPlay woes. I think it's unacceptable that it silently kills an ongoing WiFi connection that has been established using ASAccessoryKit and NEHotspotHelper which is in active use. This is responsible for angry clients because their processes break a lot when they are in reach of the connected car. (And yes, they have to be in the reach of the car, because it is a diagnostic/maintenance app for cars…) Do I really need to ask my clients to unpair from CarPlay before using our app or is there another way?

IOS VPN APP DEPLOYMENT
Hi everyone, I developed an Android version of a VPN app built with Flutter using OpenVPN, and it works perfectly on Android. However, when porting it to iOS, I’ve encountered an issue: the app connects successfully but then automatically disconnects when tested via TestFlight. We’ve already added all the necessary network extensions. Despite this, we decided to submit the app to the App Store. It’s been five days now, and the app is still 'Waiting for Review.' Could anyone share their experience deploying and working on an iOS version of a VPN app? I’d really appreciate your insights!

Rules on AppPushProvider deinitialization
Here's what the documentation says https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/maintaining-a-reliable-network-connection Confirm that your NEAppPushProvider implementation doesn’t create a retain cycle with itself. After you call the completionHandler that the system passes to stop(with:completionHandler:), the Network Extension framework releases your NEAppPushProvider instance. This instance typically deallocates from memory when released, but if the instance has a retain cycle with itself, it fails to deallocate and wastes memory. Failure to deallocate can also cause the system to have two or more instances of your push provider, leading to inconsistent behavior. Use Instruments or add a logging statement to deinit to verify that your NEAppPushProvider deinitializes when expected. I observe that when I turn off the wifi, the AppPushProvider subclass fully deinitializes. But when I call removeFromPreferences on the NEAppPushManager from the app, it calls stop() on my AppPushProvider subclass, but it does not initialize. Should I be alarmed by this behavior? Will this cause a memory leak? Will this cause multiple Extension/AppPushProviders to be operating concurrently? For testing, I've removed everything except for logs and some singleton calls. No closures capturing self, and no strong references of self being passed anywhere. I am also not using the debugger, and am using the console to debug.

urlSession(_:dataTask:didReceive:) not called when using completion handler-based dataTask(w
Description: I'm noticing that when using the completion handler variant of URLSession.dataTask(with:), the delegate method urlSession(_:dataTask:didReceive:) is not called—even though a delegate is set when creating the session. Here's a minimal reproducible example: ✅ Case where delegate method is called: class CustomSessionDelegate: NSObject, URLSessionDataDelegate { func urlSession(_ session: URLSession, dataTask: URLSessionDataTask, didReceive data: Data) { print("✅ Delegate method called: Data received") } } let delegate = CustomSessionDelegate() let session = URLSession(configuration: .default, delegate: delegate, delegateQueue: nil) let request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/get")!) let task = session.dataTask(with: request) // ✅ No completion handler task.resume() In this case, the delegate method didReceive is called as expected. ❌ Case where delegate method is NOT called: class CustomSessionDelegate: NSObject, URLSessionDataDelegate { func urlSession(_ session: URLSession, dataTask: URLSessionDataTask, didReceive data: Data) { print("❌ Delegate method NOT called") } } let delegate = CustomSessionDelegate() let session = URLSession(configuration: .default, delegate: delegate, delegateQueue: nil) let request = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "https://httpbin.org/get")!) let task = session.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in print("Completion handler called") } task.resume() Here, the completion handler is executed, but the delegate method didReceive is never called. Notes: I’ve verified this behavior on iOS 16, 17, and 18. Other delegate methods such as urlSession(_:task:didFinishCollecting:) do get called with the completion handler API. This happens regardless of whether swizzling or instrumentation is involved — the issue is reproducible even with direct method implementations. Questions: Is this the expected behavior (i.e., delegate methods like didReceive are skipped when a completion handler is used)? If yes, is there any official documentation that explains this? Is there a recommended way to ensure delegate methods are invoked, even when using completion handler APIs? Thanks in advance!

iOS VPN: Loss of Internet Connectivity on iOS Device post Packet Tunnel Crashes
Title: Loss of Internet Connectivity on iOS Device When Packet Tunnel Crashes Feedback ticket: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/14162605 Product: iPhone 12 Version: iOS - 17.5.1 Configuration: NETunnelProviderManager Configuration Description: We are developing an iOS VPN client and have configured our packet tunnel provider according to Apple's guidelines. The configuration is as follows: includeAllNetworks = YES excludeLocalNetworks = NO enforceRoutes = NO This setup works as expected when the VPN successfully connects. However, we encounter a blocker issue where the device loses internet connectivity if the packet tunnel crashes. Steps to Reproduce: Configure the NETunnelProviderManager with the above settings. Connect the VPN, which successfully establishes a connection. Verify that resources are accessible and internet connectivity is functional. Packet tunnel to crash unexpectedly.Observe that the NE process (Packet Tunnel) restarts automatically, as expected and attempts to reconnect the VPN; however, the device now lacks internet connectivity, preventing VPN reconnection. Try accessing resources using Safari or any other internet-dependent app, resulting in an error indicating the device is not connected to the internet. Actual Results: The device loses internet connectivity after the packet tunnel crashes and fails to regain it automatically, preventing the VPN from reconnecting. Expected Results: The device should maintain internet connectivity or recover connectivity to allow the VPN to reconnect successfully after the packet tunnel process restarts. Workaround - iPhone device needs a restart to regain internet connectivity .

My app suddenly getting "A server with the specified hostname could not be found"
I've had no problem running my app in a simulator or on a device, but today my app is failing on a URLRequest to my local machine (in a sim). From the same simulator I can go to Safari and manually enter the URL that the app is using (and that appears in the error message), and it works fine. I think there was a recent Xcode update; did something change in this regard?

Identity Pinning and reduction of maximum validity period
The CA/Browser Forum has voted (cf. https://groups.google.com/a/groups.cabforum.org/g/servercert-wg/c/9768xgUUfhQ?pli=1) to eventually reduce the maximum validity period for a SSL certificate from 398 days to 47 days by March 2029. This makes statically pinning a leaf certificate rather challenging. What are the consequences for App Transport Security Identity Pinning as it exists today?

"Local network prohibited" 2025 edition
I'm getting "unsatisfied (Local network prohibited)" when trying accessing my local http server running on mac (http://192.168.0.12:8000/test.txt) from an app running on iPhone with iOS 18.4. That's using URLSession, nothing fancy. This is the contents of the plist file of the app: NSAppTransportSecurity NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads true NSAllowsArbitraryLoads true NSAllowsLocalNetworking true NSExceptionDomains 192.168.0.12 NSIncludesSubdomains true NSAllowsLocalNetworking true NSExceptionAllowsInsecureHTTPLoads true NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription Hello The app correctly "prompts" the alert on the first app run, asking if I want to access local network, to which I say yes. Afterwards I could see that Local Network is enabled in iOS settings for the app, yet getting those "Local network prohibited" errors. From testing other global IP + 'http only" sites it feels like NSAllowsArbitraryLoads no longer works as it used to work before. But specifying other test "global" HTTP-only IP addresses in NSExceptionDomains work alright, it's just the local address doesn't. I could access that IP from iOS safari with no problem. The local web site is HTTP only. Googling reveals tons of relevant hits including FAQ articles from Quinn, but whatever I tried so far based on those hits doesn't seem to work.

Understanding when the push provider calls stop() with the noNetworkAvailable reason
I have 3 phones iPhone 14 iOS 18.3 iPhone Xr iOS 18.5 iPhone Xr iOS 18.4.1 My app has a network extension, and I've noticed each phone having their connectivity interupted by calls on the push provider, calling stop with the noNetworkAvailable reason. The point of confusion is that each phone seems to get it's interuption at different times. For example one will get an interuption at 1:00, while the others is fine, while at 3:00 another will get an interuption, while the others are fine. This is confusing since a "no network available" seems to imply a problem with the router, or access point, but if that were the case, one would believe it should affect all the phones on the wifi. I don't see less interuptions on the iPhone14 vs the iPhone Xr. Do you believe the iOS version is affecting the performance? Could you please give me some insight, as to what could be going on inside these phones? P.S. I also see an error pop up when using NWConnection, this is inside the App. The state update handler will sometimes return the state, waiting(POSIX(.ENETDOWN)) Is there any relation to what's going on in the extension?

Network connectivity issue observed on OS 15.4.1
Recently, we have observed that after upgrading to OS 15.4.1, some devices are experiencing network issues. We are using a Network Extension with a transparent app proxy in our product. The user encounters this issue while using our client, but the issue persists even after stopping the client app. This appears to be an OS issue. Below is the sytem logs. In the system logs, it says [C669.1 Hostname#546597df:443 failed transform (unsatisfied (No network route), flow divert agg: 2)] event: transform:children_failed @0.001s In scutil --dns, it says not reachble.

Background Download Support for Large Video Files in visionOS App
Hi everyone, I'm developing a visionOS app that allows users to download large video files (similar to a movie download experience, with each file being around 10 GB). I've successfully implemented the core video download functionality using URLSession, and everything works as expected while the app is active. Now, I’m looking to support background downloading. Specifically, I want users to be able to start a download and then leave the app (e.g., switch apps or return to the home screen) while the download continues in the background. Additionally, I’d like to confirm a specific scenario: If the user starts a download, then removes the headset (keeping the device turned on and connected to power), will the download continue in the background? Or does visionOS suspend the app or downloads in this case? I’m considering using a background URLSessionConfiguration (as done in iOS/macOS) to enable this behavior, but I’m not sure if it behaves the same way on visionOS or if there are special limitations or best practices when handling large downloads on this platform. Any insights or official guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Retrieve Only the Certificates Presented by the Server
Is it possible using the network framework to retrieve the list of certificates presented by the host alone, and not the reconstructed chain assembled by the system? For example, in OpenSSL one can call SSL_get_peer_cert_chain which will return exactly this - a list of the certificates presented by the server. This is useful for when you may want to manually reconstruct the chain, or if the server is misconfigured (for example, is missing an intermediate cert). Is something like this possible with the network framework? If I connect to a host that I know only returns 1 certificate, the trust ref already has the reconstructed chain by the time my code is called: sec_protocol_options_set_verify_block(tlsOptions.securityProtocolOptions, { metadata, trustRef, verifyComplete in let trust = sec_trust_copy_ref(trustRef).takeRetainedValue() let numberOfCertificates = SecTrustGetCertificateCount(trust) // Returns 3 even though the server only sent 1

Requested NSURLSession task is neither requested nor has it timed out

Secure data transfer
Hi! We are planning to build an app for a research project that collects sensitive information (such as symptoms, photos and audio). We don't want to store this data locally on the phone or within the app but rather have it securely transferred to a safe SFTP server. Is it possible to implement this i iOS, and if so, does anyone have any recommendations on how to do this?
