When I install my application, it installs fine and everything works alongwith all the system level daemons but when I reboot the system, none of my daemons are getting launched and this happens only on MacOS 15x, on older version it is working fine.
In the system logs, I see that my daemons have been detected as legacy daemons by backgroundtaskmanagementd with Disposition [enabled, allowed, visible, notified]

Is there anything changed in latest Mac OS which is causing this issue? Also what does this status 2 means. Can someone please help with this error?

Hello everyone,
I’m running an Objective-C–based hybrid (native + web) shopping application and encountering a recurring issue on devices running iOS 18.1.1:
When the app launches, it only shows a white screen with the native frame visible—no web content loads.
Restarting or reinstalling the app doesn’t help. In one instance, toggling Airplane Mode on and off brought the app back to normal, but this workaround isn’t consistent.
There are no crash logs, so we can’t determine if it’s caused by a network error, cache conflict, or an OS-level bug.
So far, we have only seen this issue on iOS 18.1.1 devices. Because our app is a shopping platform, this significantly impacts users.
Questions:
Could this be related to a known bug or limitation in iOS 18.1.1?
Are there recommended diagnostic steps or workarounds for a hybrid app that shows a white screen without generating crash logs?
Which additional details (e.g., system logs, network traces, device configurations) might help isolate the cause?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hello,
I write a Bachelor-Theses about Geolocation on an iPhone. I have a Signal-generator from R&S to simulate GPS-Data. I write an App on an Android-Phone and can readout the GPS-ID and the strength from the signal and the time and Position for Geolocation zb. Island or Africa like this.
Now my thesis is about the iPhone and I write an App for get the location manager Geolocation and to save it to a sqlite-database with longitude, latitude and time.
But the App recognizes only the real world for geolocation on GPS (LTE and Wlan are disabled!). With my Radio-Generator it would not recognize any Geolocation like the Android phone.?
So I need some fast help for my thesis, where are my problems?
I allready have a function like this:
func updateAccuracy(highAccuracy: Bool) {
locationManager.desiredAccuracy = highAccuracy ? kCLLocationAccuracyBestForNavigation : kCLLocationAccuracyHundredMeters
print("🎯 GPS-Genauigkeit geändert: (highAccuracy ? "Hoch" : "Plane-Genauigkeit")")
}
but nothing happens?
Best regards

Is there any way I can get updates when I change CarPlay style settings?
I've tried CPSessionConfigurationDelegate.contentStyleChanged and CPTemplateApplicationSceneDelegate.contentStyleDidChange, but they always produce the same result.
When I choose:
Automatic -> I receive light in case of daylight;
Always Dark and Always Show Dark Map toggle on -> dark
Always Dark and Always Show Dark Map toggle off -> light.
But it seems to be wrong, b/c CarPlay's toolbar is still dark, and I receive light.
Is there a way to get a dark style when choosing Always Dark and Always Show Dark Map toggle off? Or at least get updates when the Always Show Dark Map toggle changes?
hi so im trying to create a simple app that has two pressable buttons that turn a spa mode on and off wishing another app
so far I have the UI figured out the app works the only issue is right now when I press spa on I have setup so it opens Siri Shortcuts and enables the shortcut is there a way to make the app revert back to mine after the action is done? or is there another way to open the other app and navigate to the button within that app and enable it behind my app

Hello,
We are currently implementing iOS order verification and have encountered an issue. Some of the receipts we verify return with an empty in_app array, which makes it impossible to determine whether there is a valid in-app purchase.
Below is the code we’re using for verification and the result we receive:
Code Example:
public function iosVerifyReceipt($receipt, $password = '', $sandbox = false)
{
$url = $sandbox ? 'https://sandbox.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt' : 'https://buy.itunes.apple.com/verifyReceipt';
if (empty($password)) {
$data = json_encode(['receipt-data' => $receipt]);
} else {
$data = json_encode(['receipt-data' => $receipt, 'password' => $password]);
}
$ch = curl_init($url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
$result = json_decode($result, true);
$result = $result ?? [];
$result['sandbox'] = $sandbox;
if ($result['status'] != 0) {
Log::warning('ios verify receipt failed', ['receipt' => $receipt, 'result' => $result, 'sandbox' => $sandbox]);
if ($result['status'] == 21007) {
return $this->iosVerifyReceipt($receipt, $password, true);
}
}
return $result;
}
// Order validation check
if (empty($result) || $result['status'] != 0) {
throw new BadRequestHttpException("Ios Order Verify Error");
}
$appItemId = $result['receipt']['app_item_id'] ?? "";
if ($appItemId != MY_APP_ID) {
throw new BadRequestHttpException("Ios Order Verify Error");
}
$inApp = array_filter(
$result['receipt']['in_app'] ?? [],
function ($item) use ($transactionId,$order) {
return $item['transaction_id'] == $transactionId && $item['product_id'] == $order->getProductId();
}
);
if (empty($inApp)) {
throw new BadRequestHttpException( "Ios Order Verify Error");
}

While reviewing the Apple Documentation, I came across a potential issue in one of the examples that I believe is worth addressing.
The example appears to compare strings instead of integers, which could lead to unexpected behavior in production environments. Specifically, in the line where originalMajorVersion (a string) is compared with newBusinessModelMajorVersion (also a string) using <:
if originalMajorVersion < newBusinessModelMajorVersion
This comparison performs a lexicographical check rather than evaluating the numerical values of the strings. As a result, strings like "10" would incorrectly be considered less than "2", which is not the desired behaviour when comparing version numbers.
I have reported this via the Feedback assistant (FB16432337) but at the time of posting this there has been no reply at all (23 days)
Supporting business model changes by using the app transaction
do {
// Get the appTransaction.
let shared = try await AppTransaction.shared
if case .verified(let appTransaction) = shared {
// Hard-code the major version number in which the app's business model changed.
let newBusinessModelMajorVersion = "2"
// Get the major version number of the version the customer originally purchased.
let versionComponents = appTransaction.originalAppVersion.split(separator: ".")
let originalMajorVersion = versionComponents[0]
if originalMajorVersion < newBusinessModelMajorVersion {
// This customer purchased the app before the business model changed.
// Deliver content that they're entitled to based on their app purchase.
}
else {
// This customer purchased the app after the business model changed.
}
}
}
catch {
// Handle errors.

StoreKit
When using CallKit in my flutter app audio(both mic and speaker) stop working. When not using call kit to answer calls the app work fine. I am using the flutter flutter_callkit_incoming to use callkit and flutter_webrtc for the telephony. Flutter_callkit_incoming has some boilerplate code code include sections to uncomment when using webrtc and I have seen multiple fixes to suggest to make sure the to configure sharedAudioSession before the callkit is sent. Neither of this approaches seemed to have worked.
I'm using react native with expo, firebase for auth, and I have google, facebook and Apple Sign In enabled. On my IOS simulator I can sign in using all 3 with no problems, but when I build and submit to test flight and test on a real device only google sign in works
It crashes when I try to sign in with facebook and I get an error saying The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError error 1000.)

Hi, all!
I have an AppStore Server-side question. User sends up an AppReceipt that I am validating. What's the best way to tell the receipt belongs to said user? I want to make sure that the source of the AppReceipt was actually the original purchaser of the item. Is fetching Transaction + AppAccountToken the only way? AppAccountToken can only be utilized if the original purchase used it, and it is associated with the user's data. Is there another way?
So i am pretty new to Xcode, but i have been using Python and other language for some while. But I am quite new to the game of view and view control. So it may be that i have over complicated this a bit - and it may be that I have some wrong understanding of the dependencies and appcontroller (that i thought would be a good idea). So here we have a main file we call it app.swift, we have a startupmanager.swift, a appcoordinator and a dependeciescontainer. But it may be that this is either a overkill - or that I am doing it wrong.
So my thought was that i had a dependeciecontainer, a appcoordinator for the views and a startupmanager that controll the initialized fetching. I have controlled the memory when i run it - checking if it is higher, lower eg - but it was first when i did my 2 days profile i saw a lot of new errors, like this: Fikser(7291,0x204e516c0) malloc: xzm: failed to initialize deferred reclamation buffer (46). and i also get macro errors, probably from the @Query in my feedview.
So my thought was that a depencecie manager and a startupmanager was a good idea together with a app coordinator.
But maybe I am wrong - maybe this is not a good idea? Or maybe I am doing some things twice? I have added a lot of prints and debugs for checking. But it seems that it starts off to heavy?

I am currently using StoreKit2 to set up the in-app purchase subscription flow, and I have already configured the subscription products in App Connect. I created a StoreKit Configuration file in Xcode and used it in the scheme. However, after completing the purchase, the transaction.jsonRepresentation data returns a transactionId of 0. After checking the documentation, I found that I need to disable the StoreKit Configuration and enable Sandbox Testing. But after disabling the StoreKit Configuration, I can't retrieve the real product data using Product.products(for: productIds). I can confirm that the ProductId I provided is real and matches the data configured in App Connect. Could you please help me identify the issue?
The application is developed with Xamarin Framework and it is live now.
The customer installed the app and purchased the annual subscription.
And for some reason, they uninstall and reinstall the application on the same device.
Now user wants to restore the subscription. In the application, there is an option to Restore the subscription. But restore API not return purchase details.
But when clicking the subscription button instead of restoring the subscription, it says you subscribed to this plan".
is there any possibility of not getting VerifyRecipt even after a successful purchase?

Hello,
I have been testing my app in iOS 18 device and while creating a server with TCP, then apple make a request for local network permission automatically. If we don't allow the permission, the connection not working. We are getting the connection timeout error even after allowing again from device setting.
Has something changed in the flow for iOS 18 version? Can someone help me to solve this issue?
I have been working on adding a badge number count to my app, but have run into a really weird edge case. If I have a badge number on my app, delete the application and then re-install it, the badge number still persists on the app icon until I first open the app. I tried looking to see if there is a lifecycle method that is triggered upon uninstalling an app as well as if there is a specific userDefaults attribute to check in order to clear the badge, but I can't find any clear solutions. Does anyone know of a fix to this issue?
I am trying to test using Testflight and have set up a test with a user on an account I also own which is different to me developer account. The app I believe is running in production on a separate device and is working from a user point of view, however I am not able to query the data via the console. As I said I know the user id and password as tey are mine so even when I use the Act as user service it logs in but the query is empty. I'm assuming I'm not doing anything wrong its possibly an security issue that is preventing me accessing this account. My question to the group then is how do I verify the data that is being tested?
I am creating a voip app, I am trying to use call kit to answer calls, however audio doesn't seem to work when using callKit when looking at the systems logs I see
no server connection when checking background audio state, won't allow background audio!
background audio processAllowed = 0 for displayID com.apple.TelephonyUtilities
no server connection when checking background audio state, won't allow background audio!
background audio processAllowed = 0 for displayID {my app id}
I have the plist entries for background ui modes for voip, audio, fetch and background notifications along with the backgrounds modes for Voip, Audio, AirPlay, and Picture in Picture, Background notifications. I am unsure what to do about this, like my reading of the error is I can't use audio cause I am not connected to a server, but like is it any server, Am I suppose to connect to the voip call before setting up audio, I am not sure how to do that.
Hi Apple Team,
we reiceved the following message.
Hello, We’re reaching out with a final reminder that the Certification Authority (CA) for Apple Push Notification service (APNs) is changing. APNs updated the server certificates in sandbox on January 21, 2025. APNs production server certificates will be updated on February 24, 2025. To continue using APNs without interruption, you’ll need to update your application’s Trust Store to include the new server certificate: SHA-2 Root: USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate.
Our web service sends token-based push notifications directly to the Apple Push server.
For testing: https://api.development.push.apple.com:443
In production: https://api.push.apple.com:443
We have never installed any certificates for using APNs.
Do we need to take any action regarding this message, or can we ignore it?
Hi,
I'm trying to setup PIR service for live caller id lookup (in python but based on swift example: https://github.com/apple/live-caller-id-lookup-example). The swift example provides utilities for database setup and encryption, but I can't find any specification about which key is used for database encryption and how the ios system knows about this key in order to be able to construct the PIR requests.
So my question is how does the PIR service communicate the secret key to ios system or vice versa? (specific to the test environment, before onboarding)
Hi developers,
I have a question if it is possible to open in my application not main window but a specific ViewController, when application is installed but not running.
When the application is running in background and I scan QR code, then specific ViewController is opened over SceneDelegate and method 'userActivity'. But this does not work when the application is only installed, but not running.
