Hi, my app was rejected because IAP were not present in the app. I followed guidelines more carefully and filled all buisness detail since then. And now I have: StoreKit Configuration in XCode is set to None, Products (subscription + consumable product) are already approved (from the previous review) Paid Apps Agreement - active Bank account - active Tax forms - active Compliance - active Problems: When trying to test it with TestFlight + sandbox account, StoreKit is returning zero products. When trying to check my products by "initiate transaction" from Sandbox App Store manage dashboard I am getting an error "This item is not available" I am totally stuck and don't know what to process next. Unfortunately API.

Hi Writing an app in Swift on Xcode for my iPhone, all software is the latest version. If after making a minor change and re-building all the application data has disappeared, is there a way to see if it is still in the .modelContainer and just not showing up?

In the WWDC 2019 session "Extended Runtime for WatchOS apps" the video talks about an entitlement being required to use the HR sensor judiciously in the background. It provides a link to request the entitlement which no longer works: http://developer.apple.com/contect/request/health-monitoring The session video is also quite hard to find these days. Does anyone know why this is the case? Is the API and entitlement still available? Is there a supported way to run, even periodically, in the background on the Watch app (ignoring the background observer route which is known to be unreliable) and access existing HR sensor data

I am developing an app used by public safety agencies. Part of the app is used to determine live agency staffing using geofences. For example, a geofence exists around a station, and when a user enters or exits that geofence, the app updates the staffing count at that station in real time. The issue I am having is reliably detecting when a user enters or exits the geofence while the app is killed (meaning the user force quit the app from the app launcher). I understand that iOS can relaunch an app in the background if the system terminated the process using Region Monitoring, but I haven't gotten a clear answer about whether or how this is possible if the user kills (force quits) the app. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello, We are experiencing an issue related to push notifications after updating devices to iOS 26.4 Beta. Our system stores push notification tokens on the server by associating the device token with the device’s IDFV in the app. After updating a device to iOS 26.4 Beta, we observed that the device token from a previously uninstalled version of the app remains valid for more than a week. As a result, two push notifications are delivered to the same device. The situation is as follows: The user installs the app and a device token is generated. The user uninstalls the app. Later, the user installs the app again and a new device token is generated. However, the previous device token does not become invalid, even after more than a week. Because IDFV changes when the app is reinstalled, our server cannot determine that the device belongs to the same user. Therefore, we cannot overwrite the old token with the new one on the server side. Could you please advise: Is this behavior expected in iOS 26.4 Beta? How long does it normally take for a device token to become invalid after an app is uninstalled? What is the recommended approach to prevent duplicate push notifications in this situation? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Best regards

The expirationHandler on BGProcessingTask is a () -> Void closure. It provides no information about why it was called. In my testing, all of the following trigger the same handler: Time expiration Resource pressure (CPU, memory, battery) Not reporting progress User tapping "Stop" on the Live Activity There is no way for the app to tell these apart. Questions: Q1. Is there an official, complete list of all conditions that trigger expirationHandler? The documentation only mentions "time expires." Q2. What is the specific time limit before timeout? If it varies by device state, what are the conditions? Q3. A way to distinguish the reason is needed. "User stop" and "system expiration" require completely different handling. Currently this is impossible. Environment: iOS 26, physical device

We are implementing Apple Pay In-App Provisioning in our issuer iOS application and are encountering a HTTP 500 error returned from Apple servers during the provisioning flow. The issue occurs after generating the encrypted payload and attempting to complete the provisioning process. The Apple service responds with 500 Internal Server Error, preventing the card from being added to Wallet. We would appreciate assistance identifying whether this is caused by: • a payload formatting issue, • cryptographic material mismatch, • entitlement / configuration issue, • or a server-side issue. Environment Platform • iOS: 26.3.1 • Device: iPhone 13 mini • Xcode: 26.3.1 Apple Pay configuration • In-App Provisioning entitlement enabled • Issuer app authorized by Apple for provisioning • Payment Network: Mastercard • Token Service Provider (TSP): MDES Testing environment • Production • App distribution method: TestFlight Provisioning Flow Overview Our implementation follows the standard Apple Pay In-App Provisioning flow: 1. User taps Add to Apple Wallet in issuer app. 2. App presents PKAddPaymentPassViewController. 3. App receives: • Apple public certificates • nonce • nonceSignature 4. Issuer backend generates: • encryptedPassData • activationData • ephemeralPublicKey 5. These values are returned to the app. 6. App constructs PKAddPaymentPassRequest. 7. Wallet attempts provisioning. At this point the request fails and Apple servers return HTTP 500. We see this in the system console, with the phone having Wallet debugging profile installed. Checklist – Common Issues Verified Based on the Apple Pay In-App Provisioning demo guidance, we verified the following configuration items. Entitlements • com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning enabled • Apple Pay capability enabled in Xcode • Correct Team ID and bundle configuration App configuration • PKAddPaymentPassViewController used for provisioning • PKAddPaymentPassViewControllerDelegate implemented • generateRequestWithCertificateChain implemented correctly Cryptographic data • encryptedPassData • activationData • ephemeralPublicKey All values are generated by our issuer backend and returned to the app Feedback ID: FB22249031 (In app provisioning error 500)

Hello I have implemented URL Filter using below sample link https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkextension/filtering-traffic-by-url But currently I am facing weird issue when I try to add new urls in the input_urls.txt file. When I add url in the file and execute BloomFilterTool again, it creates new bloom plist as well as server url file so I replaces those manually restart the server as well as reinstall the app, but when I do so I am not able to get new urls blocked by browser until and unless I am not killing browser and relaunching it again. Does anybody facing same kind of issue ?

Hello, I'm trying to develop a driver that uses PCIe through the mac's thunderbold ports. I requested a PCI entitlement, and it's just an empty array in the entitlements file by default. I was wondering if the vendor ID submitted with my entitlement request is supposed to populate this dictionary? I'm currently getting an entitlement check failed from kernel: DK: IOUserServer and was unsure if the PCI entitlement configuration was incorrect. Default entitlement: <key>com.apple.developer.driverkit.transport.pci</key> <array> </array> I'd be happy to provide more information as needed, but any guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

We are using BGContinuedProcessingTask on iOS 26 for long-running background video compression and upload. This work usually takes about 30 minutes to 1 hour. In testing on physical devices, expirationHandler is invoked irregularly. In some cases, it seems like it is caused by total task duration, and in other cases, it seems related to system resource conditions such as CPU, memory, or battery. However, even after many experiments, we have not been able to find a clear or consistent pattern. The important problem for us is that we cannot tell why expirationHandler was called. From the app’s perspective, we need to handle the following cases differently: the user taps Stop in the Live Activity the system expires the task due to time expiration the task is terminated due to system resource pressure (CPU, memory, battery, etc.) other system-driven termination cases However, at the moment, it is difficult or practically impossible to distinguish these cases reliably. My questions are: In the context of BGContinuedProcessingTask, is it correct to think that expirationHandler may be triggered by reasons such as time expiration, system resource pressure, and user stop? If so, is there any official or supported way for the app to distinguish between these reasons? For long-running work such as video compression and upload, is it expected behavior that expirationHandler is invoked irregularly? If BGContinuedProcessingTask is not a stable approach for 30-minute to 1-hour background work, is there any other recommended or more reliable way to perform this kind of long-running background processing on iOS without unexpected interruption?

I've added .storeButton(.visible, for:.policies) to my SubscriptionStoreView, and the buttons do appear, but when I tap on them I get a sheet that just says "Terms of Service Unavailable / Somethng went wrong. Try Again.". (similar for Privacy Policy). Is this expected in development? Will these start working correctly in production? (and, more importantly, in App Review?) The docs say that these use the values (i.e. URLs) set in App Store Connect, but that I can override those. This is a new app. Is that wrong, do I need to set the URLs explicitly? Edited to add: the console reports: Failed to fetch terms of service and privacy policy: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1011 "(null)"

Hi there, Starting with iOS 26.2 RC, all my DeviceActivityMonitor.eventDidReachThreshold get activated immediately as I pick up my iPhone for the first time, two nights in a row. Feedback: FB21267341 There's always a chance something odd is happening to my device in particular (although I can't recall making any changes here and the debug logs point to the issue), but just getting this out there ASAP in case others are seeing this (or haven't tried!), and it's critical as this is the RC. DeviceActivityMonitor.eventDidReachThreshold issues also mentioned here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/793747; but I believe they are different and were potentially fixed in iOS 26.1, but it points to this part of the technology having issues and maybe someone from Apple has been tweaking it.

A screen time app I'm making has started telling users that their limit was reached even when they're far below their limit for the day (sometimes even at 0 minutes for the day). This issue only started happening after upgrading my software to iOS 26.2. Is this happening to anyone else? If so how have you found any solutions or does anyone know of any changes that could be causing this? Any help would be appreciated.

I'm running into a problem in my attempt to clear CKAssets on the iCloud server. The documentation for CKAsset says: If you no longer require an asset that’s on the server, you don’t delete it. Instead, orphan the asset by setting any fields that contain the asset to nil and then saving the record. CloudKit periodically deletes orphaned assets from the server. I'm deleting image file assets which are properties on an ImageReference type (largeImage and thumbNailImage properties). When I delete an image, I am setting those properties to nil and sending the record for the ImageReference to iCloud using the async CKDatabase.modifyRecords method. This always results in an error: <CKError 0x600000d92a60: "Asset File Not Found" (16/3002); "open error: 2 (No such file or directory)"> And of course the assets still appear in the CloudKit dashboard. What is the proper way of orphaning the assets on the CloudKit server?

I am currently encountering an issue: when creating a new push certificate on the Apple Push Notification Certificates portal, I am required to generate a signature beforehand. Could you please explain the specific rules for this signature and how I should go about generating it? (I previously attempted to generate the certificate using the following command—openssl req -new -key mdm_push.key -out mdm_push.csr—but after uploading it, I received an error indicating an incorrect format.) !

We are evaluating the new behavior mentioned in the Nearby Interaction documentation for iOS 18.4+, which states: “In iOS 18.4 and later, your app can continue ranging in the background with any supported device if the app starts a Live Activity as it goes to the background." Could you clarify what situations are considered “can continue ranging” versus cases where it will not continue? Specifically, if my app: starts a NISession in the foreground starts a Live Activity with that data then the app goes to background should the NI session still deliver ranging updates so the app can update the Live Activity? also, my app already enable Background Modes capability

Hi - Using storekit2 on ios26.2 and using presentOfferCodeRedeemSheet to allow users to leverage Offer Codes. The codes work (sandbox and production), however on the confirmation view that shows Redeem Special Offer, while my App Icon is properly displayed up top, the associated product subscription image is missing and I see a grey App Store image/icon instead. I do successfully see the associated subscription and pricing to the right. My subscription product images are already reviewed/approved and have been live for a number of weeks. I see this in Sandbox and Production (with a live customer sending me the phone screenshot). PS, my product icons/logos all show up successfully during normal checkout in sandbox/production, this only occurs on Offer Code Redemption views.

Platform: macOS 26.3.1, M5 Pro MacBook Pro Framework: CoreWLAN Affected applications: NetViews, Air Tool 2, and our own tooling — appears to be specific to the new Wi-Fi 7 hardware Hardware Card Type: chip id: 0x11 api 1.2 firmware [Rev 72.11.260 N1B1 devFused=0] phy [17.1.17.0], core80211 [324.10.260 N1_silicon_b] Firmware: Jan 27 2026 21:18:32 version XBS_BUILD_TAG GIT_DESCRIBE FWID chip id: 0x11 api 1.2 firmware [Rev 72.11.260 N1B1 devFused=0] phy [17.1.17.0], core80211 [324.10.260 N1_silicon_b] Driver: IO80211_driverkit-1540.16 "IO80211_driverkit-1540.16" Jan 27 2026 Background Both issues described below were working correctly on macOS 26 with previous-generation hardware. The regression is specific to the Wi-Fi 7 card shipping in the M5 Pro MacBook Pro. This is not an OS regression — it is a hardware/driver/firmware compatibility issue with the new card under macOS 26. Issue 1: disassociate() + tcpdump/Wireshark -I no longer enters monitor mode Previously, the standard approach of calling disassociate() and then launching tcpdump -i en0 -I or Wireshark -i en0 -I -k would successfully put the interface into monitor mode. On the M5 Pro Wi-Fi 7 card, this no longer works. The capture tool launches but the interface either stays in station mode or enters mode 0 - where there is no connection, but still not able to be a monitor radio. This is the primary regression affecting third-party wireless tools. Issue 2: setWLANChannel reports success but the radio only retunes once As a workaround for Issue 1, we use the built-in Wireless Diagnostics → Sniffer tool to establish monitor mode (which works fairly reliably on this hardware). Once the interface is in monitor mode via that path, we attempt to change the channel using setWLANChannel: let iface = CWWiFiClient.shared().interface(withName: "en0")! let target = iface.supportedWLANChannels()! .first { $0.channelNumber == 6 && $0.channelWidth == .width20MHz }! try iface.setWLANChannel(target) The first call succeeds (eg: channel 48 -> 6) the radio actually tunes to the requested channel and Wireshark captures frames there. Any subsequent call (eg: channel 48 -> 6 -> 1) shows the same apparent success - no error thrown, wlanChannel() updates to reflect the new channel - but the radio does not retune. Wireshark continues capturing on the first changed channel. We have tested with disassociate() and interface power cycling between attempts — neither resets the ability to retune the radio. What we have ruled out Timing: delays between calls make no difference Competing processes holding the interface wlanChannel() returning a stale cache value — it updates correctly, but diverges from actual hardware state after the first channel change Key data point: Wireless Diagnostics Sniffer works The built-in Wireless Diagnostics → Sniffer tool successfully puts the interface into monitor mode on this hardware. This confirms the card and driver are capable - the issue is that the capability is no longer reachable via CoreWLAN or via tcpdump/Wireshark's -I flag. Wireless Diagnostics Sniffer does not support live channel changes, so it cannot serve as a full workaround. The questions Is there a supported path for third-party apps to enter monitor mode on the new Wi-Fi 7 hardware on macOS 26? What is the correct mechanism for changing channels while in monitor mode - is setWLANChannel expected to retune the radio on subsequent calls, or is there a different API intended for this? The fact that Wireless Diagnostics accomplishes both (albeit, not live) confirms the hardware and driver are fully capable - we are looking for the sanctioned equivalent for third-party tools.
