New features for APNs token authentication now available
Team-scoped keys introduce the ability to restrict your token authentication keys to either development or production environments. Topic-specific keys in addition to environment isolation allow you to associate each key with a specific Bundle ID streamlining key management. For detailed instructions on accessing these features, read our updated documentation on establishing a token-based connection to APNs.

Does scheduling a price change of a subscription while keeping the original price for existing subscribers trigger messaging to those users?
We're planning on increasing the price of our ios in-app subscription. We will select the option "Keep the current price for existing subscribers" Reading this https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/manage-subscriptions/manage-pricing-for-auto-renewable-subscriptions/, it's not clear if existing subscribers will be notified of the change in pricing (even though that change won't impact them) or not?

ModelContext.model(for:) returns deleted objects
I'm writing some tests to confirm the behavior of my app. White creating a model actor to delete objects I realized that ModelContext.model(for:) does return objects that are deleted. I was able to reproduces this with this minimal test case: @Model class Activity { init() {} } struct MyLibraryTests { let modelContainer = try! ModelContainer( for: Activity.self, configurations: ModelConfiguration( isStoredInMemoryOnly: true ) ) init() throws { let context = ModelContext(modelContainer) context.insert(Activity()) try context.save() } @Test func modelForIdAfterDelete() async throws { let context = ModelContext(modelContainer) let id = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<Activity>()).first!.id context.delete(context.model(for: id) as! Activity) try context.save() let result = context.model(for: id) as? Activity #expect(result == nil) // Expectation failed: (result → MyLibrary.Activity) == nil } @Test func fetchDescriptorAfterDelete() async throws { let context = ModelContext(modelContainer) let id = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<Activity>()).first!.id context.delete(context.model(for: id) as! Activity) try context.save() let result = try context.fetch( FetchDescriptor<Activity>(predicate: #Predicate { $0.id == id }) ).first #expect(result == nil) } } Here I create a new context, insert an model and save it. The test modelForIdAfterDelete does fail, as result still contains the deleted object. I also tried to check #expect(result!.isDeleted), but it is also false. With the second test I use a FetchDescriptor to retrieve the object by ID and it correctly returns nil. Shouldn't both methods use a consistent behavior?

Screen Time API: How to map bundleIdentifier to ApplicationToken for DeviceActivityMonitor when FamilyActivitySelection.Application.bundleIdentifier is nil?
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!

appTransactionID behavior on logout
The appTransactionID was recently introduced and is documented here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/apptransaction/apptransactionid From the documentation: "The App Store generates a single, globally unique appTransactionID for each Apple Account that downloads your app and for each family group member for apps that support Family Sharing." This seems like a really useful identifier, so I was wondering about some edge cases of when using it: What happens if a user logs out of his AppStore account and keeps using the app? Is it available when the app is installed from Xcode? is it possible to set it to some value using StoreKit testing? Thanks

Getting WIFI SSID
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.

Shortcuts: Invalid action metadata
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.

Login issues on CloudKit Console
Hi everyone In the last 24 hours, I’ve been running into some issues with the CloudKit console. Most of the time, I‘ll get an error stating an error has caused this web page to stop working correctly. Reloading doesn’t fix the issue, nor does using different browsers: Today I’ve got another error, something along the lines of the Console not being able to fetch the teams I’m assigned to and an XHF error pop-up. Has anyone encountered the same issues? After trying multiple times, I’m able to reach my database but it’s a bit frustrating as it’s very unreliable this way. Thanks for your feedback! Dave

How to debug Quick Look Preview Extension
I'm facing the same problem as addressed in this discussion: After switching from legacy QLGenerators to Preview extensions on macOS I cannot debug the extensions' code in Xcode, anymore: I launch the app with the embedded appex from Xcode in debug mode. When trying to attach to the appex process the following error is reported: Code: 6 Failure Reason: Ensure “AppName Preview” is not already running, and matthias has permission to debug it. User Info: {... } System Information macOS Version 15.4.1 (Build 24E263) Xcode 16.3 (23785) (Build 16E140) Timestamp: 2025-05-12T14:07:14+02:00 I'm using a standard user account (no admin) and might miss some obvious steps. Can someone detail the steps to debug a Preview (or Thumbnail) extension with Xcode 16? For legacy Quick Look plugins I was using "qlmanage", but that's not working on extensions. All the best, Matthias P.S.: Pardon me re-posting my reply as a separate thread, to increase visibility, but I'm quite desperate and couldn't find any solution on the web...

SwiftData: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifierImplementation) was remapped to a temporary identifier during save
I'm seeing a lot of these in my logs: PersistentIdentifier PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(url: x-swiftdata://Course/BC9CF99A-DE6A-46F1-A18D-8034255A56D8), implementation: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifierImplementation) was remapped to a temporary identifier during save: PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(url: x-coredata:///Course/t58C849CD-D895-4773-BF53-3F63CF48935B210), implementation: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifierImplementation). This is a fatal logic error in DefaultStore ... though everything seems to work. Does anyone know what this means in this context? Anything I can do to not have this appear?

Implementing Hardware Interrupt Handling with InterruptOccurred in DriverKit
Hello everyone, I’m working on implementing hardware interrupt handling in DriverKit and came across the InterruptOccurred method in IOInterruptDispatchSource. I noticed that its declaration ends with a TYPE macro: virtual void InterruptOccurred(OSAction* action, uint64_t count, uint64_t time) TYPE(IOInterruptDispatchSource::InterruptOccurred); This structure seems similar to how Timer Events are set up, where an event is linked to a callback and triggered by a timer. I’m attempting to use a similar approach, but for hardware-triggered interrupts rather than timer events. I’m currently in the trial-and-error phase of the implementation, but if anyone has a working example or reference on how to properly implement and register InterruptOccurred, it would be greatly appreciated! Best regards, Charles

CarPlay Support
Hi All, We've been working on a new CarPlay-supported App and are hoping for advice on how to achieve this. We have completed the CarPlay Entitledment Request, but have not received any response from Apple. Given we're close to launch on Android, we'd love to have these projects completed together. Any advice on how to make contact with the approvals team, or suggestions on how long this will normally take? If they're no longer taking applications or rejection is high, any guidance would be greatly appreciated too!

Simultaneous Use of PacketTunnelProvider and DNSProxyProvider extensions
Hi! I'm working on a solution (iOS 18) that uses Network Extensions PacketTunnelProvider and Content Filter. Currently I'm trying to integrate it with another extension – DNSProxyProvider. My goal is to process dns queries and use resolved ips and names for additional routing inside of the packet tunnel. I'm running into a major issue: whenever both VPN and DNS proxy are active simultaneously, the device completely loses internet connectivity — no traffic goes through, and DNS resolution seems to stop working entirely. I know about the mdm supervision requirement to use DNSProxyProvider and that's covered as I work with a managed device and install a DNS proxy profile, here's how its .mobileconfig file looks like: The DNS proxy itself works fine when working by itself (without VPN being turned on), as I implemented it that it successfully processes DNS packets flows while collecting information about domains etc, and everything works perfectly. Problems begin when using VPN at the same time. I'm aware that tunnel settings include dns related options that can affect this, but I haven't had much luck with tweaking them. Here's how they look right now for reference: let settings: NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings = NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings(tunnelRemoteAddress: "240.0.0.1") // let dnsSettings = NEDNSSettings(servers: "8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4".components(separatedBy: ",")) // dnsSettings.matchDomains = [""] // settings.dnsSettings = dnsSettings settings.proxySettings = nil /* ipv4 settings */ let ipv4Settings = NEIPv4Settings(addresses: ["240.0.0.2"], subnetMasks: ["255.255.255.0"]) ipv4Settings.includedRoutes = [NEIPv4Route.default()] settings.ipv4Settings = ipv4Settings /* MTU */ settings.mtu = 1500 return settings I've tried excluding some dns related ip routes and dns settings shenanigans but nothing. I haven't found any information that might suggest that using both of these extensions at the same time doesn't work, on the contrary, this page in the official documentation about the expected use of packet tunnel provider the expected use of packet tunnel provider, as it talks about the fact that you should not use it for interception of all of DNS traffic, as the use of DNSPRoxyProvider (or dns settings) are built for that, which in my mind, suggests that there should be no problem with using them both and just splitting the dns traffic handling to the proxy. Will be thankful for any help!

Urgent: Reports of Duplicate Charges via AlipayHK on Apple Pay
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.

How to mount custom FSKit-based file system in Finder?
Hi, I'm working with the new FSKit framework and have successfully implemented a custom file system using FSUnaryFileSystem. Mounting the file system via Terminal works perfectly — I can create, delete, and browse files and directories as expected. Since /Volumes is protected on modern macOS systems, I cannot mount my file system there directly. Instead, I mount it into a different writable directory (e.g., /tmp/MyFS) and then create a symbolic link to it in a user-visible location such as ~/Downloads/MyFS. Finder does see the symlink and displays it with a "Volume" icon, but clicking it results in an error — it cannot be opened. It seems like Finder does not treat the symlinked mount as a fully functional volume. Is there a proper way to register or announce a FSKit-mounted file system so that Finder lists it as a real volume and allows access to it? Are there additional steps (APIs, notifications, entitlements, or Info.plist keys) required to integrate with Finder? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

ModelContext.model(for:) returns deleted objects
I'm writing some tests to confirm the behavior of my app. White creating a model actor to delete objects I realized that ModelContext.model(for:) does return objects that are deleted. I was able to reproduces this with this minimal test case: @Model class Activity { init() {} } struct MyLibraryTests { let modelContainer = try! ModelContainer( for: Activity.self, configurations: ModelConfiguration( isStoredInMemoryOnly: true ) ) init() throws { let context = ModelContext(modelContainer) context.insert(Activity()) try context.save() } @Test func modelForIdAfterDelete() async throws { let context = ModelContext(modelContainer) let id = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<Activity>()).first!.id context.delete(context.model(for: id) as! Activity) try context.save() let result = context.model(for: id) as? Activity #expect(result == nil) // Expectation failed: (result → MyLibrary.Activity) == nil } @Test func fetchDescriptorAfterDelete() async throws { let context = ModelContext(modelContainer) let id = try context.fetch(FetchDescriptor<Activity>()).first!.id context.delete(context.model(for: id) as! Activity) try context.save() let result = try context.fetch( FetchDescriptor<Activity>(predicate: #Predicate { $0.id == id }) ).first #expect(result == nil) } } Here I create a new context, insert an model and save it. The test modelForIdAfterDelete does fail, as result still contains the deleted object. I also tried to check #expect(result!.isDeleted), but it is also false. With the second test I use a FetchDescriptor to retrieve the object by ID and it correctly returns nil. Shouldn't both methods use a consistent behavior?

Screen Time API: How to map bundleIdentifier to ApplicationToken for DeviceActivityMonitor when FamilyActivitySelection.Application.bundleIdentifier is nil?
I'm using FamilyActivityPicker to get consent for app/category management, which returns a FamilyActivitySelection object.

I am using the JSON encoder/decoder over PropertyList (though both seem to exhibit the same behavior).

I'm seeing a lot of these in my logs: PersistentIdentifier PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(url: x-swiftdata://Course/BC9CF99A-DE6A-46F1-A18D-8034255A56D8), implementation: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifierImplementation) was remapped to a temporary identifier during save: PersistentIdentifier(id: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier.ID(url: x-coredata:///Course/t58C849CD-D895-4773-BF53-3F63CF48935B210), implementation: SwiftData.PersistentIdentifierImplementation). This is a fatal logic error in DefaultStore ... though everything seems to work. Does anyone know what this means in this context? Anything I can do to not have this appear?

Implementing Hardware Interrupt Handling with InterruptOccurred in DriverKit
Hello everyone, I’m working on implementing hardware interrupt handling in DriverKit and came across the InterruptOccurred method in IOInterruptDispatchSource. I noticed that its declaration ends with a TYPE macro: virtual void InterruptOccurred(OSAction* action, uint64_t count, uint64_t time) TYPE(IOInterruptDispatchSource::InterruptOccurred); This structure seems similar to how Timer Events are set up, where an event is linked to a callback and triggered by a timer. I’m attempting to use a similar approach, but for hardware-triggered interrupts rather than timer events. I’m currently in the trial-and-error phase of the implementation, but if anyone has a working example or reference on how to properly implement and register InterruptOccurred, it would be greatly appreciated! Best regards, Charles

React-native-map. LongPress callback not working
Summary The onLongPress callback on MapViewcomponent is not working on iOS devices. The callback is properly implemented but never gets triggered on iOS, while it works as expected on Android. Reproducible sample code <MapView onLongPress={(e) => { console.log("onLongPress", e); setAddLocation(e.nativeEvent.coordinate); }} // ... other props Steps to reproduce Just put onLongPress callback on MapView and notice it won't be triggered. Expected result Long press on the map should trigger the onLongPress callback The callback should receive the event object with coordinates Actual result Long press on the map does not trigger the callback on iOS No console logs are shown when long pressing The functionality works as expected on Android React Native Maps Version 1.23.8 What platforms are you seeing the problem on? iOS (Apple Maps) React Native Version 0.79.2 What version of Expo are you using? SDK 53 Device(s) Any iOS Device

CarPlay Support
Hi All, We've been working on a new CarPlay-supported App and are hoping for advice on how to achieve this. We have completed the CarPlay Entitledment Request, but have not received any response from Apple. Given we're close to launch on Android, we'd love to have these projects completed together. Any advice on how to make contact with the approvals team, or suggestions on how long this will normally take? If they're no longer taking applications or rejection is high, any guidance would be greatly appreciated too!

Simultaneous Use of PacketTunnelProvider and DNSProxyProvider extensions
Hi! I'm working on a solution (iOS 18) that uses Network Extensions PacketTunnelProvider and Content Filter. Currently I'm trying to integrate it with another extension – DNSProxyProvider. My goal is to process dns queries and use resolved ips and names for additional routing inside of the packet tunnel. I'm running into a major issue: whenever both VPN and DNS proxy are active simultaneously, the device completely loses internet connectivity — no traffic goes through, and DNS resolution seems to stop working entirely. I know about the mdm supervision requirement to use DNSProxyProvider and that's covered as I work with a managed device and install a DNS proxy profile, here's how its .mobileconfig file looks like: The DNS proxy itself works fine when working by itself (without VPN being turned on), as I implemented it that it successfully processes DNS packets flows while collecting information about domains etc, and everything works perfectly. Problems begin when using VPN at the same time. I'm aware that tunnel settings include dns related options that can affect this, but I haven't had much luck with tweaking them. Here's how they look right now for reference: let settings: NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings = NEPacketTunnelNetworkSettings(tunnelRemoteAddress: "240.0.0.1") // let dnsSettings = NEDNSSettings(servers: "8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4".components(separatedBy: ",")) // dnsSettings.matchDomains = [""] // settings.dnsSettings = dnsSettings settings.proxySettings = nil /* ipv4 settings */ let ipv4Settings = NEIPv4Settings(addresses: ["240.0.0.2"], subnetMasks: ["255.255.255.0"]) ipv4Settings.includedRoutes = [NEIPv4Route.default()] settings.ipv4Settings = ipv4Settings /* MTU */ settings.mtu = 1500 return settings I've tried excluding some dns related ip routes and dns settings shenanigans but nothing. I haven't found any information that might suggest that using both of these extensions at the same time doesn't work, on the contrary, this page in the official documentation about the expected use of packet tunnel provider the expected use of packet tunnel provider, as it talks about the fact that you should not use it for interception of all of DNS traffic, as the use of DNSPRoxyProvider (or dns settings) are built for that, which in my mind, suggests that there should be no problem with using them both and just splitting the dns traffic handling to the proxy. Will be thankful for any help!

Urgent: Reports of Duplicate Charges via AlipayHK on Apple Pay
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.

How to mount custom FSKit-based file system in Finder?
Hi, I'm working with the new FSKit framework and have successfully implemented a custom file system using FSUnaryFileSystem. Mounting the file system via Terminal works perfectly — I can create, delete, and browse files and directories as expected. Since /Volumes is protected on modern macOS systems, I cannot mount my file system there directly. Instead, I mount it into a different writable directory (e.g., /tmp/MyFS) and then create a symbolic link to it in a user-visible location such as ~/Downloads/MyFS. Finder does see the symlink and displays it with a "Volume" icon, but clicking it results in an error — it cannot be opened. It seems like Finder does not treat the symlinked mount as a fully functional volume. Is there a proper way to register or announce a FSKit-mounted file system so that Finder lists it as a real volume and allows access to it? Are there additional steps (APIs, notifications, entitlements, or Info.plist keys) required to integrate with Finder? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
