The second time i start a workout session, the beginCollection instance method on HKLiveWorkoutBuilder freezes. To recreate run the Apple Sample Project Building a multidevice workout app. It looks like a bug with the HealthKit SDK and not the code but i could be wrong. The only workaround i found was erasing the simulator and reinstalling the app.

When calling beginCollection on HKLiveWorkoutBuilder the function never completes and gets stuck. (On the second workout session, the first session works flawlessly) To reproduce: Run the MirroringWorkoutsSample on WatchOS https://developer.apple.com/documentation/healthkit/building-a-multidevice-workout-app. Start the workout and then end the workouts it should work perfectly fine the first time. Start the workout and end again, and you should see the problem, the workout doesn’t end.

Hi, We are trying to use Apple Security API for KeyChain Services. Using the common App Group : Specifying the common app group in the "kSecAttrAccessGroup" field of the KeyChain query, allowed us to have a shared keychains for different apps (targets) in the app group, but this did not work for extensions. Enabling the KeyChain Sharing capability : We enabled the KeyChain Sharing Ability in the extensions and the app target as well, giving a common KeyChain Access group. Specifying this in the kSecAttrAccessGroup field also did not work. This was done in XCode as we were unable to locate it in the Developer portal in Indentifiers. We tried specifying "$AppIdentifier.KeyChainSharingGroup" in the kSecAttrAccessGroup field , but this did not work as well The error code which we get in all these 3 cases when trying to access the Keychain from the extension is error code 25291 (errSecNotAvailable). The Documentation says this error comes when "No Trust Results are available" and printing the error in xcode using the status says "No keychain is available. The online Documentation says that it is possible to share keychain with extensions, but by far we are unable to do it with the methods suggested. Do we need any special entitlement for this or is there something we are missing while using these APIs? We really appreciate any and all help in solving this issue! Thank you

Hi, I’m using Network Framework to implement a UDP client via NWConnection, and I’m looking for clarification about the correct and fully safe shutdown procedure, especially regarding resource release. I have initiated some pending receive calls on the NWConnection (using receive). After calling connection.cancel(), do we need to wait for the cancellation of these pending receives? As mentioned in this thread, NWConnection retains references to the receive closures and releases them once they are called. If a receive closure holds a reference to the NWConnection itself, do we need to wait for these closures to be called to avoid memory leaks? Or, if there are no such retained references, we don't need to wait for the cancellation of the pending I/O and cancelled state for NWConnection?

I am implementing AppIntent into my application as follows: // MARK: - SceneDelegate var window: UIWindow? private var observer: NSObjectProtocol? func scene(_ scene: UIScene, willConnectTo session: UISceneSession, options connectionOptions: UIScene.ConnectionOptions) { guard let windowScene = (scene as? UIWindowScene) else { return } // Setup window window = UIWindow(windowScene: windowScene) let viewController = ViewController() window?.rootViewController = viewController window?.makeKeyAndVisible() setupUserDefaultsObserver() checkShortcutLaunch() } private func setupUserDefaultsObserver() { // use NotificationCenter to receive notifications. NotificationCenter.default.addObserver( forName: NSNotification.Name("ShortcutTriggered"), object: nil, queue: .main ) { notification in if let userInfo = notification.userInfo, let appName = userInfo["appName"] as? String { print("📱 Notification received - app is launched: \(appName)") } } } private func checkShortcutLaunch() { if let appName = UserDefaults.standard.string(forKey: "shortcutAppName") { print("🚀 App is opened from a Shortcut with the app name: \(appName)") } } func sceneDidDisconnect(_ scene: UIScene) { if let observer = observer { NotificationCenter.default.removeObserver(observer) } } } // MARK: - App Intent struct StartAppIntent: AppIntent { static var title: LocalizedStringResource = "Start App" static var description = IntentDescription("Launch the application with the command") static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = true @MainActor func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { UserDefaults.standard.set("appName", forKey: "shortcutAppName") UserDefaults.standard.set(Date(), forKey: "shortcutTimestamp") return .result() } } // MARK: - App Shortcuts Provider struct AppShortcutsProvider: AppShortcutsProvider { static var appShortcuts: [AppShortcut] { AppShortcut( intent: StartAppIntent(), phrases: [ "let start \(.applicationName)", ], shortTitle: "Start App", systemImageName: "play.circle.fill" ) } } the app works fine when starting with shortcut. but when starting with siri it seems like the log is not printed out, i tried adding a code that shows a dialog when receiving a notification from userdefault but it still shows the dialog, it seems like the problem here is when starting with siri there is a problem with printing the log. I tried sleep 0.5s in the perform function and the log was printed out normally try? await Task.sleep(nanoseconds: 500_000_000) // 0.5 seconds I have consulted some topics and they said that when using Siri, Intent is running completely separately and only returns the result to Siri, never entering the Main App. But when set openAppWhenRun to true, it must enter the main app, right? Is there any way to find the cause and completely fix this problem?

Hi, I am implementing a premium feature in my app where CloudKit syncing is available only for "Pro" users. The Workflow: Free Users: I initialize the ModelContainer with cloudKitDatabase: .none so their data stays local. Pro Upgrade: When a user purchases a subscription, I restart the container with cloudKitDatabase: .automatic to enable syncing. The Problem: If a user starts as "Free" (creates local data) and later upgrades to "Pro", the app crashes immediately upon launch with the following error: Fatal error: Failed to create ModelContainer: SwiftDataError(_error: SwiftData.SwiftDataError._Error.loadIssueModelContainer, _explanation: nil) It seems that SwiftData fails to load the existing data once the configuration changes to expect a CloudKit-backed store. My Question: Is there a supported way to "toggle" CloudKit on for an existing local dataset without causing this crash? I want the user's existing local data to start syncing once they pay, but currently, it just crashes. My code: import Foundation import SwiftData public enum DataModelEnum: String { case task, calendar public static let container: ModelContainer = { let isSyncEnabled = UserDefaults.isProUser let config = ModelConfiguration( groupContainer: .identifier("group.com.yourcompany.myApp"), cloudKitDatabase: isSyncEnabled ? .automatic : .none ) do { return try ModelContainer(for: TaskModel.self, CalendarModel.self, configurations: config) } catch { fatalError("Failed to create ModelContainer: \(error)") } }() }

Hi, I’m using Network Framework to implement a UDP listener via NWListener. I am looking for clarification about the correct and fully safe shutdown procedure, especially regarding resource release. After calling listener.cancel(), do we need to wait for the .cancelled state before exiting the application? Or can we just exit once the cancellation is initiated, assuming the OS will close the NWListener and there will be no resource leak? Is it recommended (or required) to set newConnectionHandler = nil when shutting down a UDP listener? My understanding is that if there is no NWListener attached, then whenever a connection is accepted by the OS, it will not be delivered to the application and the OS will simply drop it.

Our app receives a CallKit VoIP call. When the user taps “Answer”, the app launches and automatically connects to a real-time audio session using WebRTC or MobileRTC. We would like to confirm whether the following flow (“CallKit Answer → app opens → automatic WebRTC or MobileRTC audio session connection”) complies with Apple’s VoIP Push / CallKit policy. In addition, our service also provides real-time video-class functionality using the Zoom Meeting SDK (MobileRTC). When an incoming CallKit VoIP call is answered, the app launches and the user is automatically taken to the Zoom-based video lesson flow: the app opens → the user is landed on the Zoom Meeting pre-meeting room → MobileRTC initializes immediately. In the pre-meeting room, audio and video streams can already be active and MobileRTC establishes a connection, but the actual meeting screen is not joined until the user explicitly taps “Join”. We would like to confirm whether this flow for video lessons (“CallKit Answer → app opens → pre-meeting room (audio/video active) → user taps ‘Join’ → enter actual meeting”) is also compliant with Apple’s VoIP Push and CallKit policy.

Some users cannot repurchase a subscription SKU after it has expired. Flow: User previously subscribed. User canceled and the subscription fully expired. After weeks, user reinstalls the app and taps the same SKU. StoreKit does not create a new purchase transaction. Instead, StoreKit always returns the old expired transaction in updatedTransactions. Therefore, the user is permanently unable to purchase the SKU again. We have already tried: Adding payment observer at app launch Calling finishTransaction for all transactions Clearing queue at startup SKReceiptRefreshRequest Server-side verifyReceipt Ensuring subscription is truly expired (not in grace/retry) Not calling restoreCompletedTransactions None of these resolved the issue. StoreKit still only sends the old transaction and never generates a new one. Expected behavior: A new purchase transaction should be created when user taps the expired subscription SKU. Actual behavior: StoreKit repeatedly pushes the old expired transaction, blocking new purchases. We can provide: Some users cannot repurchase a subscription SKU after it has expired.

I'm working on a multi-process macOS application (based on Chromium/Electron) that uses Mach ports for inter-process communication between the main app and its helper processes. Background I have an MAS build working successfully via TestFlight for internal testing. However, public TestFlight testing requires Apple review, and while waiting for that review, I wanted to provide a directly distributable build for external testers. I attempted to create a Developer ID signed build with App Sandbox enabled, expecting it to behave similarly to the MAS build. The Problem With App Sandbox enabled (com.apple.security.app-sandbox) and identical entitlements, I observe different behavior depending on the signing certificate: Apple Distribution certificate: App launches successfully, mach-register and mach-lookup work Developer ID certificate: App crashes at launch, mach-register is denied by sandbox The Console shows this sandbox violation for the Developer ID build: Sandbox: MyApp(13605) deny(1) mach-register XXXXXXXXXX.com.mycompany.myapp.MachPortRendezvousServer.13605 The crash occurs when the app calls bootstrap_check_in() to register a Mach service for child process communication. What I've tried Adding com.apple.security.temporary-exception.mach-register.global-name with wildcard pattern XXXXXXXXXX.com.mycompany.myapp.MachPortRendezvousServer.* to the main app's entitlements - this resolved the mach-register denial. However, helper processes then fail with mach-lookup denial. Adding com.apple.security.temporary-exception.mach-lookup.global-name with the same wildcard pattern to the main app's entitlements (for inheritance) does not work. Analysis of /System/Library/Sandbox/Profiles/application.sb I examined macOS's App Sandbox profile and found that mach-register.global-name supports wildcard patterns via select-mach-filter: (sandbox-array-entitlement "com.apple.security.temporary-exception.mach-register.global-name" (lambda (name) ... (let ((mach-filter (select-mach-filter name global-name-prefix global-name))) (allow mach-register mach-filter)))) But mach-lookup.global-name does not - it only accepts exact names: (sandbox-array-entitlement "com.apple.security.temporary-exception.mach-lookup.global-name" (lambda (name) (allow mach-lookup (global-name name)))) Since the Mach service name includes the PID (e.g., ...MachPortRendezvousServer.13605), it's impossible to specify exact names in entitlements. I also verified that com.apple.security.application-groups grants mach-register and mach-lookup only for service names prefixed with the group ID (e.g., group.com.mycompany.myapp.), which doesn't match the TEAMID.bundleid. prefix used by Chromium's MachPortRendezvousServer. My questions What mechanism allows Apple Distribution signed apps to use mach-register and mach-lookup for these service names without temporary exceptions? I don't see any certificate-based logic in application.sb. Is there a way to achieve the same behavior with Developer ID signing for testing purposes? Related threads https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/747005 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/685601 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/128714 (confirms temporary-exception can be used freely for Developer ID apps) Environment macOS 15.6 (Sequoia) Xcode 16.4 Both certificates from the same Apple Developer account

Regarding the Background Assets capability on iOS: In the install scenario, resources defined as the "install" type are incorporated into the App Store download progress. Do resources of the "update" type in the update scenario also get incorporated into the App Store download progress in the same way? If an exception occurs during the download of install-type resources and the download cannot proceed further, will the system no longer actively block users from launching the app and instead enable the launch button? Currently, if a user has enabled automatic updates on their device, after the app is updated and released on the App Store, will the Background Assets download start immediately once the automatic update completes? Or does Background Assets have its own built-in scheduling logic that prevents it from running concurrently with the automatic update?

I am attempting to read and write data to an Office Group Container, and I am consistently prompted with the "App would like to access data from other apps" alert. How can I configure the application or environment to suppress this repeated permission prompt?

Summary NetworkConnection<WebSocket> in iOS 26 Network framework throws POSIXErrorCode(rawValue: 22): Invalid argument when receiving WebSocket ping (opcode 9) or pong (opcode 10) control frames. This prevents proper WebSocket keep-alive functionality. Environment iOS 26.0 (Simulator) macOS 26.1 Xcode 26.0 Note: This issue was initially discovered on iOS 26 Simulator. The same behavior was confirmed on macOS 26, suggesting a shared bug in the Network framework. The attached sample code is for macOS for easier reproduction. Description When using the new NetworkConnection<WebSocket> API introduced in iOS 26 or macOS 26, the receive() method throws EINVAL error whenever a ping or pong control frame is received from the server. This is a critical issue because: WebSocket servers commonly send ping frames to keep connections alive Clients send ping frames to verify connection health The receive callback never receives the ping/pong frame - the error occurs before the frame reaches user code Steps to Reproduce Create a WebSocket connection to any server that supports ping/pong (e.g., wss://echo.websocket.org): import Foundation import Network // MARK: - WebSocket Ping/Pong EINVAL Bug Reproduction // This sample demonstrates that NetworkConnection<WebSocket> throws EINVAL // when receiving ping or pong control frames. @main struct WebSocketPingPongBug { static func main() async { print("=== WebSocket Ping/Pong EINVAL Bug Reproduction ===\n") do { try await testPingPong() } catch { print("Test failed with error: \(error)") } } static func testPingPong() async throws { let host = "echo.websocket.org" let port: UInt16 = 443 print("Connecting to wss://\(host)...") let endpoint = NWEndpoint.hostPort( host: NWEndpoint.Host(host), port: NWEndpoint.Port(rawValue: port)! ) try await withNetworkConnection(to: endpoint, using: { WebSocket { TLS { TCP() } } }) { connection in print("Connected!\n") // Start receive loop in background let receiveTask = Task { var messageCount = 0 while !Task.isCancelled { do { let (data, metadata) = try await connection.receive() messageCount += 1 print("[\(messageCount)] Received frame - opcode: \(metadata.opcode)") if let text = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) { print("[\(messageCount)] Content: \(text)") } else { print("[\(messageCount)] Binary data: \(data.count) bytes") } } catch let error as NWError { if case .posix(let code) = error, code == .EINVAL { print("❌ EINVAL error occurred! (POSIXErrorCode 22: Invalid argument)") print(" This is the bug - ping/pong frame caused EINVAL") // Continue to demonstrate workaround continue } print("Receive error: \(error)") break } catch { print("Receive error: \(error)") break } } } // Wait for initial message from server try await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(2)) // Test 1: Send text message (should work) print("\n--- Test 1: Sending text message ---") try await connection.send("Hello, WebSocket!") print("✅ Text message sent") try await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(1)) // Test 2: Send ping (pong response will cause EINVAL) print("\n--- Test 2: Sending ping frame ---") print("Expecting EINVAL when pong is received...") let pingMetadata = NWProtocolWebSocket.Metadata(opcode: .ping) try await connection.ping(Data()) { pingMetadata } print("✅ Ping sent, waiting for pong...") // Wait for pong response try await Task.sleep(for: .seconds(2)) // Cleanup receiveTask.cancel() print("\n=== Test Complete ===") print("If you saw 'EINVAL error occurred!' above, the bug is reproduced.") } } } The receive() call fails with error when pong arrives: ❌ EINVAL error occurred! (POSIXErrorCode 22: Invalid argument) Test Results Scenario Result Send/receive text (opcode 1) ✅ OK Client sends ping, receives pong ❌ EINVAL on pong receive Expected Behavior The receive() method should successfully return ping and pong frames, or at minimum, handle them internally without throwing an error. The autoReplyPing option should allow automatic pong responses without disrupting the receive loop. Actual Behavior When a ping or pong control frame is received: The receive() method throws NWError.posix(.EINVAL) The frame never reaches user code (no opcode check is possible) The connection remains valid, but the receive loop is interrupted Workaround Catch the EINVAL error and restart the receive loop: while !Task.isCancelled { do { let received = try await connection.receive() // Process message } catch let error as NWError { if case .posix(let code) = error, code == .EINVAL { // Control frame caused EINVAL, continue receiving continue } throw error } } This workaround allows continued operation but: Cannot distinguish between ping-related EINVAL and other EINVAL errors Cannot access the ping/pong frame content Cannot implement custom ping/pong handling Impact WebSocket connections to servers that send periodic pings will experience repeated EINVAL errors Applications must implement workarounds that may mask other legitimate errors Additional Information Packet capture confirms ping/pong frames are correctly transmitted at the network level The error occurs in the Network framework's internal processing, before reaching user code

Hello, I have an app that is using iOS 26 Network Framework APIs. It is using QUIC, TLS 1.3 and Bonjour. For TLS I am using a PKCS#12 identity. All works well and as expected if the devices (iPhone with no cellular, iPhone with cellular, and iPad no cellular) are all on the same wifi network. If I turn off my router (ie no more wifi network) and leave on the wifi toggle on the iOS devices - only the non cellular iPhone and iPad are able to discovery and connect to each other. My iPhone with cellular is not able to. By sharing my logs with Cursor AI it was determined that the connection between the two problematic peers (iPad with no cellular and iPhone with cellular) never even makes it to the TLS step because I never see the logs where I print out the certs I compare. I tried doing "builder.requiredInterfaceType(.wifi)" but doing that blocked the two non cellular devices from working. I also tried "builder.prohibitedInterfaceTypes([.cellular])" but that also did not work. Is AWDL on it's way out? Should I focus my energy on Wi-Fi Aware? Regards, Captadoh

Hello, We are having an issue with the RequestReview API and were hoping to get some help. We know that there is no guarantee that the in-app review modal will show and we know that there are 3 circumstances in which it will definitely not appear: if the user has turned off in-app review/ratings in their settings if the user has submitted a review for that app on that device within the last 365 days if the user has been asked for a review >3 times in the last 365 days When testing our implementation, every single one of our testers did not receive the rating modal despite the fact that we had all our testers turn on the app rating setting and that we have never asked for reviews from our app before. So that seems suspicious. While it is possible that something is up with our code (and I have provided some snippets below) we are also concerned that apple maybe is suppressing it for another reason. We really want to go live with our app review code but unfortunately we are not able to get confidence that it will ever appear for the user. Can you please help us understand why this isn't working. The code: We are using the SwiftUI approach to requesting review. Here are some relevant code snippets Important to note, we have a modal that appears when the user is in our list of active, targeted users. If they tap yes on this modal, it should show the in app rate the app system modal. If they tap no, we present them with an airship survey so that they can give feedback. Here is the code for the Yes button action: @Environment(\.requestReview) private var requestReview private var yesButton: some View { Button( action: { dismiss() requestReview() }, label: { Text(Lingua.General.appRateFirstButton) .regularParagraph() .frame(width: 180, height: 35) } ) .customButtonStyle( foregroundColor: .black, backgroundColor: Color(.powderBlue), radius: 36 ) } and this is the logic we use to determine whether we want to show them the modal in the first place. Obviously, a lot of this code leads to deeper areas in our logic and code but to give an idea... private func showAppRateModalIfNeeded() { if preferencesManager.appRateReviewShown == nil, accountManager.userAccount?.permissions.rateTheApp == true { let appReviewModalVC = UIHostingController(rootView: AppReviewModal()) appReviewModalVC.view.backgroundColor = .init(white: 0, alpha: 0.6) appReviewModalVC.modalPresentationStyle = .overFullScreen appReviewModalVC.modalTransitionStyle = .crossDissolve parentVC?.navigationController?.present(appReviewModalVC, animated: true) preferencesManager.appRateReviewShown = true } } When testing in debug, we do find that the modal appears and works as expected. However, on release builds nobody is able to trigger it. Why? Are we doing something wrong here or is Apple just suppressing it. We are thinking about implementing the button taking the user directly into the app store review but we'd prefer to do the lower-friction dialog in-app if we can get it work so the user doesn't get sent out of the app.

Hi everyone, could you help us? We implemented a Flutter library that basically makes a call every x minutes if the app is in the background, but when I generate the version via TestFlight for testing, it doesn't work. Can you help us understand why? Below is a more detailed technical description. Apple Developer Technical Support Request Subject: BGTaskScheduler / Background Tasks Not Executing in TestFlight - Flutter App with workmanager Plugin Issue Summary Background tasks scheduled using BGTaskScheduler are not executing when the app is distributed via TestFlight. The same implementation works correctly when running the app locally via USB/Xcode debugging. We are developing a Flutter application that needs to perform periodic API calls when the app is in the background. We have followed all documentation and implemented the required configurations, but background tasks are not being executed in the TestFlight build. App Information Field Value App Version 3.1.15 (Build 311) iOS Minimum Deployment Target iOS 15.0 Framework Flutter Flutter SDK Version ^3.7.2 Technical Environment Flutter Dependencies (Background Task Related) Package Version Purpose workmanager ^0.9.0+3 Main background task scheduler (uses BGTaskScheduler on iOS 13+) flutter_background_service ^5.0.5 Background service management flutter_background_service_android ^6.2.4 Android-specific background service flutter_local_notifications ^19.4.2 Local notifications for background alerts timezone ^0.10.0 Timezone support for scheduling Other Relevant Flutter Dependencies Package Version firebase_core 4.0.0 firebase_messaging (via native Podfile) sfmc (Salesforce Marketing Cloud) ^9.0.0 geolocator ^14.0.0 permission_handler ^12.0.0+1 Info.plist Configuration We have added the following configurations to Info.plist: UIBackgroundModes <key>UIBackgroundModes</key> <array> <string>location</string> <string>remote-notification</string> <string>processing</string> </array> ### BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers ```xml <key>BGTaskSchedulerPermittedIdentifiers</key> <array> <string>br.com.unidas.apprac.ios.workmanager.carrinho_api_task</string> <string>br.com.unidas.apprac.ios.workmanager</string> <string>be.tramckrijter.workmanager.BackgroundTask</string> </array> **Note:** We included multiple identifier formats as recommended by the `workmanager` Flutter plugin documentation: 1. `{bundleId}.ios.workmanager.{taskName}` - Custom task identifier 2. `{bundleId}.ios.workmanager` - Default workmanager identifier 3. `be.tramckrijter.workmanager.BackgroundTask` - Plugin's default identifier (as per plugin documentation) ## AppDelegate.swift Configuration We have configured the `AppDelegate.swift` with the following background processing setup: ```swift // In application(_:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:) // Configuration to enable background processing via WorkManager // The "processing" mode in UIBackgroundModes allows WorkManager to use BGTaskScheduler (iOS 13+) // This is required to execute scheduled tasks in background (e.g., API calls) // Note: User still needs to have Background App Refresh enabled in iOS settings if UIApplication.shared.backgroundRefreshStatus == .available { // Allows iOS system to schedule background tasks with minimum interval UIApplication.shared.setMinimumBackgroundFetchInterval(UIApplication.backgroundFetchIntervalMinimum) } ## WorkManager Implementation (Dart/Flutter) ### Initialization ```dart /// Initializes WorkManager static Future<void> initialize() async { await Workmanager().initialize(callbackDispatcher, isInDebugMode: false); print('WorkManagerService: WorkManager initialized'); } ### Task Registration /// Schedules API execution after a specific delay ## Observed Behavior ### Works (Debug/USB Connection) - When running the app via Xcode/USB debugging - Background tasks are scheduled and executed as expected - API calls are made successfully when the app is backgrounded ### Does NOT Work (TestFlight) - When the app is distributed via TestFlight - Background tasks appear to be scheduled (no errors in code) - Tasks are **never executed** when the app is in background - We have tested with: - Background App Refresh enabled in iOS Settings - App used frequently - Device connected to WiFi and charging - Waited for extended periods (hours) ## Possible heart points 1. **Are there any additional configurations required for `BGTaskScheduler` to work in TestFlight/Production builds that are not required for debug builds?** 2. **Is the identifier format correct?** We are using: `br.com.unidas.apprac.ios.workmanager.carrinho_api_task` - Should it match exactly with the task name registered in code? 3. **Are there any known issues with Flutter's `workmanager` plugin and iOS BGTaskScheduler in production environments?** 4. **Is there any way to verify through logs or system diagnostics if the background tasks are being rejected by the system?** 5. **Could there be any conflict between our other background modes (`location`, `remote-notification`) and `processing`?** 6. **Does the Salesforce Marketing Cloud SDK (SFMC) interfere with BGTaskScheduler operations?** ## Additional Context - We have verified that `Background App Refresh` is enabled for our app in iOS Settings - The app has proper entitlements for push notifications and location services - Firebase, SFMC (Salesforce Marketing Cloud), and other SDKs are properly configured - The issue is **only** present in TestFlight builds, not in debug/USB-connected builds ## References - [Apple Documentation - BGTaskScheduler](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundtasks/bgtaskscheduler) - [Apple Documentation - Choosing Background Strategies](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundtasks/choosing_background_strategies_for_your_app) Thank you

When an iOS device is connected to a Bluetooth accessory that utilizes the Hands-Free Profile (HFP), we are encountering an incorrect audio routing behavior specifically for system notification tones. Accessory Connected: The iOS device is successfully connected to a Bluetooth accessory (specifically, a WM500 device) using the HFP profile for voice communication. Voice Audio: Audio streams related to phone calls or voice communication (using the HFP/SCO link) are correctly routed to the WM500. Notification Tones Issue: System notification tones, which are played using the tonetype.systemsounds API, are not being routed to the connected HFP accessory (WM500). Instead, they are incorrectly played through the iOS device's built-in speaker. Accessory team has suggested to establish SCO connection to route the tones through WM500. But iOS does not provide an external API (like Android's startBluetoothSco) to explicitly force the establishment of an SCO connection for notification tones. Is there any other approach to establish SCO connection in iOS to route notification tones through WM500

Hi We have an AppleTV app that is used to continuously display information (digital signage). One of our clients reports that their AppleTV returns to the homescreen by morning. While our recommendation is to setup Mobile Device Management to lock the AppleTV into running only our app, not every client will have the IT knowledge to set this up. So we're trying to figure out possible causes for the app getting closed. We've not received any crash reports, nor does the device give any indication the app crashed. The energy saving settings are set to run continuously without sleep. The client is reporting this happens every night, so it seems unlikely to be caused by tvOS updates. Are there other things I could rule out to find the cause of this issue? Any ideas are welcome, thanks!

After upgrading to iOS 18, crashes caused by calling null function pointers have changed their crash signal from SIGEGV to SIGKILL, making it impossible for developers to capture crash stacks using third-party components like KSCrash/PLCrashReporter. Is this a design change in iOS 18's memory protection mechanism? If so, are there any officially recommended crash capture solutions? - (void)MockCrashOnNullFunctionPointer { void (*func)(void) = NULL; func(); } Crash report comparison:
