We have a iOS VoIP application which is deployed via MDM solution. Until iOS 17.7.1 everything is working fine. The calls stopped working from iOS 18 onwards. When we investigated the issue, the api setsockopt is returning (54) Connection reset by peer. We believe there might be some issue in iOS 18 because there is a test done with same MDM solution + same server + same iOS VoIP application where this issue is not seen. Kindly help and let us know if any more details are required from us.

I'm experiencing issues with didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken not being called on iOS 18.1.1. Here's what I've tried: Basic Setup: Properly configured UNUserNotificationCenter Requested permissions with requestAuthorization(options:) Registered for remote notifications with registerForRemoteNotifications() Environment: Xcode 16.3 iOS 18.1.1 (physical device) Firebase (tried with and without it) Troubleshooting: Verified provisioning profile includes Push Notifications Confirmed APNs certificate is valid Disabled Firebase's method swizzling Tested on a clean project (works fine) Checked device logs (no relevant errors) Code Snippet: // In AppDelegate.swift public func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) { let tokenParts = deviceToken.map { data in String(format: "%02.2hhx", data) } let tokenString = tokenParts.joined() print("📱 Device Token: \(tokenString)") // Store the token for your backend UserDefaults.standard.set(tokenString, forKey: "deviceToken") // Send to backend Task { do { try await APIService.shared.setDeviceToken(tokenString) } catch { print("❌ [AppDelegate] Failed to send device token to backend: \(error)") } } } public func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey: Any]? = nil) -> Bool { // IMPORTANT: First handle push notification registration UNUserNotificationCenter.current().delegate = self // Request notification permissions self.requestNotificationPermissions() // Register for remote notifications DispatchQueue.main.async { UIApplication.shared.registerForRemoteNotifications() } return true } private func requestNotificationPermissions() { UNUserNotificationCenter.current().requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .badge, .sound]) { granted, error in guard granted else { print("❌ Notification permission not granted") return } print("✅ Notification permission granted") } }

I'm working on enabling a content filter in my iOS app using NEFilterManager and NEFilterProviderConfiguration. The setup works perfectly in debug builds when running via Xcode, but fails on TestFlight builds with the following error: **Failed to save filter settings: permission denied ** **Here is my current implementation: ** (void)startContentFilter { NSUserDefaults *userDefaults = [NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]; [userDefaults synchronize]; [[NEFilterManager sharedManager] loadFromPreferencesWithCompletionHandler:^(NSError * _Nullable error) { dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ if (error) { NSLog(@"Failed to load filter: %@", error.localizedDescription); [self showAlertWithTitle:@"Error" message:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Failed to load content filter: %@", error.localizedDescription]]; return; } NEFilterProviderConfiguration *filterConfig = [[NEFilterProviderConfiguration alloc] init]; filterConfig.filterSockets = YES; filterConfig.filterBrowsers = YES; NEFilterManager *manager = [NEFilterManager sharedManager]; manager.providerConfiguration = filterConfig; manager.enabled = YES; [manager saveToPreferencesWithCompletionHandler:^(NSError * _Nullable error) { dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{ if (error) { NSLog(@"Failed to save filter settings: %@", error.localizedDescription); [self showAlertWithTitle:@"Error" message:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Failed to save filter settings: %@", error.localizedDescription]]; } else { NSLog(@"Content filter enabled successfully!"); [self showAlertWithTitle:@"Success" message:@"Content filter enabled successfully!"]; } }); }]; }); }]; } **What I've tried: ** Ensured the com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension entitlement is set in both the app and system extension. The Network extension target includes content-filter-provider. Tested only on physical devices. App works in development build, but not from TestFlight. **My questions: ** Why does saveToPreferencesWithCompletionHandler fail with “permission denied” on TestFlight? Are there special entitlements required for using NEFilterManager in production/TestFlight builds? Is MDM (Mobile Device Management) required to deploy apps using content filters? Has anyone successfully implemented NEFilterProviderConfiguration in production, and if so, how?

I am creating scripts to automatically switch the wallpapers on my multiple displays. System Events exposes almost all of the options accessible in the Wallpapers pane of system settings, but not the option to "Show on all Spaces". I want to add that option to the following script: tell application "System Events" set intervalSeconds to 900.0 set wpDir to POSIX file "/Path/to/Folder/" set picture rotation of every desktop to 1 set random order of every desktop to true set pictures folder of every desktop to wpDir set change interval of every desktop to intervalSeconds do shell script ("killall Dock") end tell Also, the foregoing script does not seem to successfully set the interval value, although it does not throw an error. Not sure why that does not work. Any thoughts or insights would be welcome. Thank you

Goal : Block all outbound connections to a static list of hosts (both In-app requests and WKWebView/Safari). App & both extensions have Network Extension entitlement with content-filter-provider and filter-control-provider What’s working: Safari and WKWebView requests matching the block list are dropped. What’s broken: In-app traffic never reaches the Data Provider—those requests always succeed. Setup: • NEFilterProviderConfiguration with both Data & Control providers, filterBrowsers = true, filterSockets = true • Data Provider implements handleNewFlow for socket/browser flows • Control Provider implements handleNewFlow for browser flows • Enabled via saveToPreferences() and toggled ON in Settings

I'm encountering what appears to be a specific precedence behavior with ManagedSettingsStore.shield and would appreciate some further clarification. My current understanding is that category-level shields take precedence over individual app allowances. My test involved... Using FamilyActivityPicker to select a single target application (e.g., "Calculator," which falls under the "Utilities" category). Using FamilyActivityPicker again to select the category of that target application. I applied shields using ManagedSettingsStore (named .individual): store.shield.applicationCategories = .specific(Set([utilitiesCategoryToken])) store.shield.applications = Set([calculatorApplicationToken]) Result: The calculator app remains shielded, suggesting that the category-level shield on Utilities overrides the attempt to allow the individual app. I also tried this using a single picker, but received only the category token instead of all application tokens in that category. Is this observed precedence (where store.shield.applicationCategories effectively overrides store.shield.applications for apps within the shielded category) the intended behavior? If so, are there any mechanisms available within the main app's capabilities (potentially using a Device Activity Report Extension or Shield Extension) to allow a specific ApplicationToken if its corresponding ActivityCategoryToken is part of the store.shield.applicationCategories set? Essentially, can store.shield.applications be used to create "allow exceptions" for individual apps that fall into an otherwise shielded category? Additionally, I mentioned that selecting an entire category in the picker only returns the opaque category token, not any application tokens. Is there any way in which I could return both the category and all application tokens by just selecting the category? Any insights or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I've searched around the internet and could not find a clear answer. I have a swift command line tool that needs to run automatically when the Mac mini M4 is started up without a user login and continue running forever. However, the command line tool and the data it uses are located on an external disk due to the size of the data. The service specified by a launchd plist located in /Library/LaunchDaemons tries to start up but fails because it cannot immediately find the command line tool. Which is because the external disk is not mounted when launchd tries to start the service when the Mac is booting. The service runs fine when bootstrapped after the disk is mounted. The first error is "No such file or directory, error 0x6f - Invalid or missing Program/ProgramArguments" and the service is put in the "penalty box". Is there any way for the service to get out of the "penalty box"? What is the best approach to make the launchd service wait for a specific external disk to mount? Some options for waiting seem to be: Use "WatchPaths" in the launchd plist, but the man page says this is unreliable. This makes one wonder what is the purpose of this option? Use "StartOnMount in the launchd plist", but this will run the command line tool every time any disk is mounted. This is not desired. Of course, I could move the command line tool to the startup disk, but then the tool would fail because the data is not available. This could be remedied by modifying the command line tool to wait for the external disk, but it would be polling, which seems inefficient. I could also add a delay, but that seems error prone because there is no assurance that the delay is long enough. When looking at the system plists, there seem to be a lot of options that are not directly mentioned in the man page for launchd.plist and have little to no documentation that I could find. Maybe there is something I am missing here? In the end, I would just like to make sure the launchd service waits for the specific disk to be available before starting the service. Any ideas how best to do that?

I'm developing an application in Swift using Xcode on an iPad Pro. The app communicates over BLE with a custom hardware board. The board runs a scan algorithm in response to commands from the iPad application. When testing the scan algorithm on the board independently, it completes in approximately 35 ms. However, when triggered via BLE communication from the iPad, the same algorithm takes around 150 ms to complete (roughly equivalent to 3 BLE messages). Is this level of latency expected when using BLE on iOS, or is there a way to reduce it? I’d appreciate any guidance on improving the performance. Thank you!

I'm not sure if I have found a bug with iOS or if it's just unexpected behavior with my implementation. I have a gomobile library that sets up a local http server. It needs to be able to write to temporary storage. If I use the shared library from my main apps process it can write to the file manager.default temporary storage. while Xcode is running a debug session I can use that same process from my file provider replicated extension and it works fine. However I realized running my file provider extension where it starts the gomobile shared library directly instead of first from my app the library fails to write anything to the file provider manager default temporary storage or the file provider manager for my file provider domain temporary storage or even the app group library. it is odd, because I have a swift URL extension that confirms the temporary storage can be written to from swift. I have monitored console logs for fileproviderd, my file extension and have tried writing data to a log file. nothing seems to catch exactly what causes the file provider extension to crash and restart. I also cannot keep the shared gomobile server running in the background on iOS even if I were to force the user to "authenticate" with the main app first. Im pretty sure the file provider extension needs to run the gomobile library for it to work right. I'm wondering if something may be wrong with the iOS sandbox that could be preventing the file provider extension to let a c based gomobile shared library from accessing the temporary storage. Any guidance for further things to try would be greatly appreciated. I have tried every avenue I can think of. I cannot run just the appex itself on either my m4 pro MacBook or my iPhone so attaching the debugger has been tricky and I don't see much in the way of useful logs in console app either just a swarm of noise. Im fairly confident it's an issue to writing to temporary storage from the gomobile c library and not much else. App was working great on macOS designed for iPad which just seemed rather ironic that an iOS code base runs better on macOS than it was able to on my iPhone 16 pro max. Like im all for the sandbox I just wish it didn't treat c level gomobile libraries different than it treats the swift code itself.

Say I want to sync a toggle in my app with SMAppService's .status property. If the status changes from my app I can track it. But if user toggles it from System Settings, I don't see a notification so then the UI in my app is out of date. The status property is not key value observable and there doesn't appear to be a SMAppServiceStatusDidChangeNotification ? I can re-read it every time my app will become active but feels kind of wrong to do it this way.

I wonder how one would use IOBluetoothHandsFree APIs to interact from macOS app with a bluetooth device that implements bluetooth hands free profile. My current observation is as follows: IOBluetoothDevice object representing the device correctly identifies it as a hands free device, i.e.: there is a proper record in services array, that matches the kBluetoothSDPUUID16ServiceClassHandsFree uuid, the IOBluetoothDevice handsFreeDevice property returns 1 Attempt to create IOBluetoothHandsFreeDevice using IOBluetoothDevice as described above (i.e. [[IOBluetoothHandsFreeDevice alloc] initWithDevice: myIOBluetoothDeviceThatHasHandsFreeDevicePropertySetTo1 delegate: self]) results in the following output in debugger console: SRS-XB20 is not a hands free device but trying anyways. Subsequent call to connect on an object constructed as above results in the following stream of messages: API MISUSE: <CBClassicPeer: 0x1442447b0 6D801974-5457-9ECE-0A9B-8343EC4F60AA, SRS-XB20, connected, Paired, b8:d5:0b:03:62:70, devType: 19, PID: 0x1582, VID: 0x0039> Invalid RFCOMM CID -[IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannel setupRFCOMMChannelForDevice] No channel <IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannel: 0x600003e5de00 SRS-XB20, b8-d5-0b-03-62-70, CID: 0, UUID: 110F > AddInstanceForFactory: No factory registered for id <CFUUID 0x600000b5e3e0> F8BB1C28-BAE8-11D6-9C31-00039315CD46 -[IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannel setupRFCOMMChannelForDevice] No channel <IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannel: 0x600003e5de00 SRS-XB20, b8-d5-0b-03-62-70, CID: 0, UUID: 110F > API MISUSE: <CBClassicPeer: 0x1442447b0 6D801974-5457-9ECE-0A9B-8343EC4F60AA, SRS-XB20, connected, Paired, b8:d5:0b:03:62:70, devType: 19, PID: 0x1582, VID: 0x0039> Invalid RFCOMM CID Note that this device's handsFreeServiceRecord looks as follows: ServiceName: Hands-free unit RFCOMM ChannelID: 1 Attributes: { 0 = "uint32(65539)"; 256 = "string(Hands-free unit)"; 9 = "{ { uuid32(00 00 11 1e), uint32(262) } }"; 785 = "uint32(63)"; 1 = "uuid32(00 00 11 1e)"; 6 = "{ uint32(25966), uint32(106), uint32(256) }"; 4 = "{ { uuid32(00 00 01 00) }, { uuid32(00 00 00 03), uint32(1) } }"; } and explicit attempt to open RFCOMM channel no 1 ends like this: WARNING: Unknown error: 911 Failed to open RFCOMM channel -[IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannel setupRFCOMMChannelForDevice] No channel <IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannel: 0x6000002036c0 SRS-XB20, b8-d5-0b-03-62-70, CID: 1, UUID: 111E > AddInstanceForFactory: No factory registered for id <CFUUID 0x600003719260> F8BB1C28-BAE8-11D6-9C31-00039315CD46 -[IOBluetoothRFCOMMChannel waitforChanneOpen] CID:1 - timed out waiting to open -[IOBluetoothDevice openRFCOMMChannelSync:withChannelID:delegate:] CID:1 error -536870212 call returned: -536870212

I'm trying to build a custom FetchRequest that I can use outside a View. I've built the following ObservableFetchRequest class based on this article: https://augmentedcode.io/2023/04/03/nsfetchedresultscontroller-wrapper-for-swiftui-view-models @Observable @MainActor class ObservableFetchRequest&lt;Result: Storable&gt;: NSObject, @preconcurrency NSFetchedResultsControllerDelegate { private let controller: NSFetchedResultsController&lt;Result.E&gt; private var results: [Result] = [] init(context: NSManagedObjectContext = .default, predicate: NSPredicate? = Result.E.defaultPredicate(), sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor] = Result.E.sortDescripors) { guard let request = Result.E.fetchRequest() as? NSFetchRequest&lt;Result.E&gt; else { fatalError("Failed to create fetch request for \(Result.self)") } request.predicate = predicate request.sortDescriptors = sortDescriptors controller = NSFetchedResultsController(fetchRequest: request, managedObjectContext: context, sectionNameKeyPath: nil, cacheName: nil) super.init() controller.delegate = self fetch() } private func fetch() { do { try controller.performFetch() refresh() } catch { fatalError("Failed to fetch results for \(Result.self)") } } private func refresh() { results = controller.fetchedObjects?.map { Result($0) } ?? [] } var predicate: NSPredicate? { get { controller.fetchRequest.predicate } set { controller.fetchRequest.predicate = newValue fetch() } } var sortDescriptors: [NSSortDescriptor] { get { controller.fetchRequest.sortDescriptors ?? [] } set { controller.fetchRequest.sortDescriptors = newValue.isEmpty ? nil : newValue fetch() } } internal func controllerDidChangeContent(_ controller: NSFetchedResultsController&lt;any NSFetchRequestResult&gt;) { refresh() } } Till this point, everything works fine. Then, I conformed my class to RandomAccessCollection, so I could use in a ForEach loop without having to access the results property. extension ObservableFetchRequest: @preconcurrency RandomAccessCollection, @preconcurrency MutableCollection { subscript(position: Index) -&gt; Result { get { results[position] } set { results[position] = newValue } } public var endIndex: Index { results.endIndex } public var indices: Indices { results.indices } public var startIndex: Index { results.startIndex } public func distance(from start: Index, to end: Index) -&gt; Int { results.distance(from: start, to: end) } public func index(_ i: Index, offsetBy distance: Int) -&gt; Index { results.index(i, offsetBy: distance) } public func index(_ i: Index, offsetBy distance: Int, limitedBy limit: Index) -&gt; Index? { results.index(i, offsetBy: distance, limitedBy: limit) } public func index(after i: Index) -&gt; Index { results.index(after: i) } public func index(before i: Index) -&gt; Index { results.index(before: i) } public typealias Element = Result public typealias Index = Int } The issue is, when I update the ObservableFetchRequest predicate while searching, it causes a Index out of range error in the Collection subscript because the ForEach loop (or a List loop) access a old version of the array when the item property is optional. List(request, selection: $selection) { item in VStack(alignment: .leading) { Text(item.content) if let information = item.information { // here's the issue, if I leave this out, everything works Text(information) .font(.callout) .foregroundStyle(.secondary) } } .tag(item.id) .contextMenu { if Item.self is Client.Type { Button("Editar") { openWindow(ClientView(client: item as! Client), id: item.id!) } } } } Is it some RandomAccessCollection issue or a SwiftUI bug?

Dear Apple Developer Support, Our iOS application offers subscriptions with a free trial period. We understand that in South Korea, due to local subscription regulations, users must explicitly provide consent for recurring payments before the subscription converts from a free trial to a paid period. We have the following questions regarding how StoreKit handles this scenario: When a free trial is about to convert to a paid subscription for a user in South Korea, does StoreKit send a StoreKit.Message (or SKStorefront.Message) to the application to obtain the required consent for recurring payments? If such a message is sent, would the Reason for this message be StoreKit.Message.Reason.priceIncreaseConsent, or would it be another specific reason related to initial recurring payment consent after a trial? If our application receives such a message and we choose to defer its display, what is the maximum recommended or permissible deferral period? Is it possible to save the data of a received StoreKit.Message and display it to the user at a later time, for instance, after the application has been closed and subsequently reopened? Are there any best practices or limitations regarding this? We need this information to ensure our application correctly handles these consent requirements in compliance with South Korean policies and provides a smooth user experience. Thank you for your guidance.

Was going to add a shortcut to an app via INIntent. I followed the WWDC developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2021/10232/?time=986 Steps: Created a .intentdefinition file and created an intent. Added the intent to .intentdefinition and compiled the app. Import the header file for the custom intent in the AppDelegate MyIntentname.h Have the AppDelegate conform to the protocol created in the generated code. Implement: -application:handlerForIntent: and return self (the app delegate) Run the app. Open the Shortcuts app and search for the 'shortcut' (according to the WWDC video linked above it should show up in the actions list). Doesn't show up in the list. I tried moving the build application out from Debug to my Applications folder to see if that would help the Shortcuts app find it, but it didn't. Am I missing a step/doing something wrong?

Hello, We are experiencing some issues with our USB accessory unexpectedly charging the iOS device it is connected with only when the iOS device supports USB-C and is on iOS 18+ The following is a description of the discrepancy we note between iOS versions: After performing a USB Role switch, our Accessory becomes a typical USB Device and the Apple device becomes the USB host. with iOS 17: 
 The Accessory then sends a PowerSourceUpdate message to the iOS 17 device via iAP2 protocol. Apple device has a USB Type C Connector. * We are specifying: AvailableCurrentForDevice = 0 mA  DeviceBatteryShouldChargeIfPowerIsPresent = 1. Three observations: iPad Battery Settings page -  we observe  'Last charged to…' (indicating no charging) On the Lumify App running (iOS 17), we observe that UIKit.current.batteryState indicated 'Not charging' Battery icon on top right of the screen indicates 'No Charging' with iOS 18: The same Accessory sends the same PowerSourceUpdate message to the iOS 18 device via iAP2 protocol using USB Type C Connector. We are specifying the same: AvailableCurrentForDevice = 0 mA DeviceBatteryShouldChargeIfPowerIsPresent = 1. We observe: iPad Battery Settings page -  we observe  'Charging'  On the Lumify App running (iOS 18), we observe that UIKit.current.batteryState indicated 'Charging' Battery icon on top right of the screen indicates 'No Charging' Please could you help us understand why the Battery status is showing as 'Charging' in the Settings page and with the 'UIKit.current.batteryState' even though we have specified 'AvailableCurrentForDevice = 0 mA'?
 Since our accessory is heavily reliant on the Battery status / Charging state, is there potentially another way we get an accurate battery charging status that we are missing? Or are there other suggestions outside of what we do currently to ensure our accessory does not place the iOS18 device into a charging state?

We’ve recently observed an escalating number of complaints from AlipayHK users regarding duplicate charges when completing transactions via Apple Pay. While no similar issues have been reported by users of other credit card providers integrated with Apple Pay, the problem appears isolated to AlipayHK transactions. Key Details: Multiple users confirm being charged twice for single transactions. Complaints are increasing in frequency, indicating a potential systemic issue. No overlapping reports from non-AlipayHK payment methods at this time. To safeguard customer trust and ensure seamless payment experiences, we kindly request Apple’s support in: Investigating whether the root cause stems from Apple Pay’s transaction handling. Collaborating with AlipayHK (if necessary) to resolve the issue promptly. Providing guidance on interim measures to prevent further duplicate charges. Could Apple confirm if this is a known issue and share a timeline for resolution? We’re eager to assist in any way possible to mitigate impact on users. Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter.

We have an old iOS app and an old camera that connects using Wi-Fi either using an access point or Ad Hoc network, e.g., iPhone/iPad connects to the camera's Wi-Fi directly... How it works (old legacy app/system, which cannot be redesigned): Camera is configured to Ad Hoc Wi-Fi network (insecure TCP). iPhone connects to this insecure Wi-Fi. Camera uses Bonjour service to broadcast its IP address. App reads in IP address and begin to send messages to the camera using NSMutableURLRequest, etc. All this works fine for iOS 17. But in iOS 18 step 4 stopped working. App simply doesn't get any responses! We believe we have configured ATS properly (App Store version): In panic we have also tried this in Test Flight version: The latter actually seemed to make a difference when running the app on macOS Apple Silicon. But on iOS it didn't seem to make any difference. Occasionally, I was lucky to get connection on on iPhone 16 Pro with iOS 18. But for the 'many' iPads I have tried I couldn't. I also tried to install CFNetwork profile and look at the logs but I believe I just got timeout on the requests. Questions: Why it iOS 18 different? Bonjour works fine, but NSSURLRequests doesn't Do we configure ATS correctly for this scenario? What should I look for in the Console log when CFNetwork profile is installed? Should I file a TSI? Thanks! :)

I have a habit tracker app that uses App Intents and Shortcuts. The app uses SwiftData to persist data, just in case that's important. One of the shortcuts serves to log habits. However, when the app has been in the background for a good while (over an hour or so), that particular shortcut always fails when I try to run it in the Shortcuts app with the system error "Invalid action metadata" caused by "a bug in the host app". The app has a total of 9 shortcuts, and it's just this one particular shortcut that seems to be failing – the others continue to run without any issues even after the app has been in the background for a long time. The app intent/shortcut that is problematic is the one called HabitEntryAppIntent. For example purposes, I've also included one of the non-problematic intents in the code snippet below called HabitEntryCounterForTodayAppIntent. Both of these intents have one @Parameter value of type HabitEntity. I'll post code snippets in the replies because the character limit is not large enough to include them here, or view them in this GitHub gist: Code snippets on GitHub I've tried everything I can think of whilst debugging, but none of the following fixed the error: Removed all usage of @MainActor and mainContext by replacing the ModelContext used in perform() with a locally created property. Removed all usage of static shared properties like Calendar.shared and ModelContainer.shared and replaced them with local properties. Removed all non-essential code such as the code for context.undoManager and WidgetManager.shared.reload(.all) and really striped it all down to the absolute essentials. Reduced the number of shortcut phrases in the problematic shortcut because there was perhaps too many (>10) originally. You might have noticed that the perform() method in the problematic intent manipulates the database whilst the non-problematic intent only reads the database. Given that the two intents in the snippet above both have the same @Property(...) var habitEntity: HabitEntity values, I tried to swap the contents of the perform() methods over to see what would happen. And here's what's strange: When the perform() method from the problematic HabitEntryAppIntent is used in HabitEntryCounterForTodayAppIntent, it works without any issues and successfully logs habits! And then when the perform() method from the non-problematic HabitEntryCounterForTodayAppIntent is used in HabitEntryAppIntent it fails with the system error "Invalid action metadata". This suggests that the problem is not in the code that logs the habit entries but rather something is wrong with HabitEntryAppIntent itself. I also tried changing the metadata used in HabitEntryAppIntent and its shortcut. I copied all the metadata used in HabitEntryCounterForTodayAppIntent (the title, description, parameterSummary etc) and pasted it into HabitEntryAppIntent. And did the same with the metadata in the shortcut (phrases, shortTitle etc) so that all the metadata used in HabitEntryAppIntent matched that used in HabitEntryCounterForTodayAppIntent. However, the shortcut for HabitEntryAppIntent continued to fail. Thus, it doesn't seem to be an issue with the code in perform() because that code succeeds when used in another app intent. And, despite the "metadata" error message, it doesn't seem to be an issue with the metadata in the app intent because I've tried using metadata from the non-problematic intent but it still fails. I have watched all WWDC videos related to app intents and shortcuts, and looked through the developer forum for similar questions, but I'm completely stumped by this issue and why it's only affecting one of my shortcuts. Also worth mentioning is that the widgets in the app that log habits using the same app intent do not suffer the same issue; they continue to work even after the Shortcut has failed. Moreover, if I try running the problematic shortcut for HabitEntryAppIntent and see the system error message, then run the shortcut for HabitEntryCounterForTodayAppIntent (which always succeeds), and then try running the HabitEntryAppIntent shortcut again, it then runs successfully on the second attempt. It seems that running HabitEntryCounterForTodayAppIntent fixes the issue, at least temporarily.

Greetings I'm trying to get on iPad the SSID from the wifi I'm connected to. For that, I added the wifi entitlement and I'm requesting permission to the user for Location. Once I have it, I'm using the function CNCopySupportedInterfaces to get the interfaces, but I can only receive the en0, which using the method CNCopyCurrentNetworkInfo returns nil. I also tried using the NEHotspotNetwork.fetchCurrent and the SSID keeps being nil. So right now I'm drawing a blank. Is there any way to make it work? Thanks.

I'm using FamilyActivityPicker to get consent for app/category management, which returns a FamilyActivitySelection object. I serialize this FamilyActivitySelection object (just applicationTokens and categoryTokens) and pass it to my DeviceActivityMonitor extension via App Group UserDefaults. I am using the JSON encoder/decoder over PropertyList (though both seem to exhibit the same behavior). After inspecting the FamilyActivitySelection object immediately after it's returned by FamilyActivityPicker in the main app, the application.bundleIdentifier property is consistently nil for every Application object within selection.applications. Similarly, category.localizedDisplayName is nil for ActivityCategory objects. This happens whether "Select All Apps" is used or if apps/categories are selected individually. I understand that this is the intended behavior due to Apple's user privacy policies. I read on another post that my app can be provided with bundle identifiers and app names within Shield Configuration extensions and Device Activity Report extensions - I'm not sure which ones or how exactly to do this. I am aware that I can use Label(applicationToken) SwiftUI view to display the app name/icon, but this doesn't give programmatic access to the bundleIdentifier string. My app will not log or export these bundleIdentifiers outside of its sandbox. My goal is to create mappings to the FamilyActivitySelection with the publicly accessible bundleIdentifiers. Any guidance, examples, or clarification on the intended workflow for this scenario would be greatly appreciated!
