Hi! I'm new at developing apps. I built my app with Expo and it's working fine in simulator and my iPhone 14 as well. But when I try to run the build in my iPhone with TestFlight it crashes instantly :/ This is part of the log: Incident Identifier: B0ED8DEF-A0F0-4D0C-B3BB-3BB9CAB3242A Distributor ID: com.apple.TestFlight Hardware Model: iPhone14,7 Process: colbakapp [83024] Path: /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/44211687-140E-4DF3-A577-CB68CE6414B0/colbakapp.app/colbakapp Identifier: com.colbak.colbakapp Version: 1.0.0 (3) AppStoreTools: 16F3 AppVariant: 1:iPhone14,7:18 Beta: YES Code Type: ARM-64 (Native) Role: Foreground Parent Process: launchd [1] Coalition: com.colbak.colbakapp [18141] Date/Time: 2025-06-22 13:26:29.0142 -0400 Launch Time: 2025-06-22 13:26:28.6532 -0400 OS Version: iPhone OS 18.5 (22F76) Release Type: User Baseband Version: 3.60.02 Report Version: 104 Exception Type: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000 Termination Reason: SIGNAL 6 Abort trap: 6 Terminating Process: colbakapp [83024] Triggered by Thread: 2 Thread 0: 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x00000001f2e4fce4 mach_msg2_trap + 8 1 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x00000001f2e5339c mach_msg2_internal + 76 (mach_msg.c:201) 2 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x00000001f2e532b8 mach_msg_overwrite + 428 (mach_msg.c:0) 3 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x00000001f2e53100 mach_msg + 24 (mach_msg.c:323) 4 CoreFoundation 0x00000001a1c42900 __CFRunLoopServiceMachPort + 160 (CFRunLoop.c:2637) 5 CoreFoundation 0x00000001a1c411f0 __CFRunLoopRun + 1208 (CFRunLoop.c:3021) 6 CoreFoundation 0x00000001a1c42c3c CFRunLoopRunSpecific + 572 (CFRunLoop.c:3434) 7 GraphicsServices 0x00000001eee21454 GSEventRunModal + 168 (GSEvent.c:2196) 8 UIKitCore 0x00000001a4655274 -[UIApplication _run] + 816 (UIApplication.m:3845) 9 UIKitCore 0x00000001a4620a28 UIApplicationMain + 336 (UIApplication.m:5540) 10 colbakapp 0x00000001046296b0 main + 64 (AppDelegate.swift:6) 11 dyld 0x00000001c8b17f08 start + 6040 (dyldMain.cpp:1450) Thread 1: 0 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x000000022c350aa4 start_wqthread + 0 Thread 2 Crashed: 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib 0x00000001f2e5a1dc __pthread_kill + 8 1 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x000000022c357c60 pthread_kill + 268 (pthread.c:1721) 2 libsystem_c.dylib 0x00000001a9c782d0 abort + 124 (abort.c:122) 3 libc++abi.dylib 0x000000022c2815a0 abort_message + 132 (abort_message.cpp:78) 4 libc++abi.dylib 0x000000022c26fef4 demangling_terminate_handler() + 316 (cxa_default_handlers.cpp:72) 5 libobjc.A.dylib 0x000000019f1e7c08 _objc_terminate() + 172 (objc-exception.mm:499) 6 libc++abi.dylib 0x000000022c2808b4 std::__terminate(void ()()) + 16 (cxa_handlers.cpp:59) 7 libc++abi.dylib 0x000000022c2840d0 __cxa_rethrow + 188 (cxa_exception.cpp:658) 8 libobjc.A.dylib 0x000000019f1e5568 objc_exception_rethrow + 44 (objc-exception.mm:399) 9 colbakapp 0x00000001049f7b68 invocation function for block in facebook::react::ObjCTurboModule::performVoidMethodInvocation(facebook::jsi::Runtime&, char const, NSInvocation*, NSMutableArray*) + 200 (RCTTurboModule.mm:444) 10 colbakapp 0x00000001049fc538 facebook::react::ObjCTurboModule::performVoidMethodInvocation(facebook::jsi::Runtime&, char const*, NSInvocation*, NSMutableArray*)::$_1::operator()() const + 36 (RCTTurboModule.mm:463) 11 colbakapp 0x00000001049fc538 decltype(std::declval<facebook::react::ObjCTurboModule::performVoidMethodInvocation(facebook::jsi::Runtime&, char const*, NSInvocation*, NSMutableArray*)::$_1&>()()) std::__1::__invoke[abi:ne190102... + 36 (invoke.h:149) 12 colbakapp 0x00000001049fc538 void std::__1::__invoke_void_return_wrapper<void, true>::__call[abi:ne190102]<facebook::react::ObjCTurboModule::performVoidMethodInvocation(facebook::jsi::Runtime&, char const*, NSInvocation*, NSMu... + 36 (invoke.h:224) 13 colbakapp 0x00000001049fc538 std::__1::__function::__alloc_func<facebook::react::ObjCTurboModule::performVoidMethodInvocation(facebook::jsi::Runtime&, char const*, NSInvocation*, NSMutableArray*)::$_1, std::__1::allocator<face... + 36 (function.h:171) 14 colbakapp 0x00000001049fc538 std::__1::__function::__func<facebook::react::ObjCTurboModule::performVoidMethodInvocation(facebook::jsi::Runtime&, char const*, NSInvocation*, NSMutableArray*)::$_1, std::__1::allocator<facebook::... + 104 (function.h:313) 15 libdispatch.dylib 0x00000001a9bbcaac _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 32 (init.c:1575) 16 libdispatch.dylib 0x00000001a9bd6584 _dispatch_client_callout + 16 (client_callout.mm:85) 17 libdispatch.dylib 0x00000001a9bc52d0 _dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 740 (queue.c:3939) 18 libdispatch.dylib 0x00000001a9bc5dac _dispatch_lane_invoke + 388 (queue.c:4030) 19 libdispatch.dylib 0x00000001a9bd01dc _dispatch_root_queue_drain_deferred_wlh + 292 (queue.c:7198) 20 libdispatch.dylib 0x00000001a9bcfa60 _dispatch_workloop_worker_thread + 540 (queue.c:6792) 21 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x000000022c350a0c _pthread_wqthread + 292 (pthread.c:2696) 22 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x000000022c350aac start_wqthread + 8 Thread 3: 0 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x000000022c350aa4 start_wqthread + 0 ...

We have a .ipa file that we need to side load on iPhone via USB connected to a MAC. IPA file will be on MAC. We can't use enterprise license. We have a business use case where we need to side load the app. Any way to do that or can be reach apple support for this? Please help. Note: The iPhones attached will not have the Apple ID logged in. There are companies who are side loading the app for business purpose on the customers phone.

Hello, I'm encountering an issue when trying to build and launch a Flutter app on a physical iOS device using Android Studio. Here is the full log: `Launching lib/main.dart on （iPhone Name） in debug mode... Automatically signing iOS for device deployment using specified development team in Xcode project: （Project ID） Running Xcode build... Xcode build done. 19.7s Failed to build iOS app Could not build the precompiled application for the device. Error (Xcode): Target debug_unpack_ios failed: Exception: Failed to codesign （Project Names）/build/ios/Debug-iphoneos/Flutter.framework/Flutter with identity （identity ID）. Error launching application on （iPhone Name）.` This only happens when using Android Studio. When I build the same project using Xcode, it runs fine on the same device. Background: I accidentally deleted all Apple accounts from Xcode recently. In Keychain Access, I had three identical certificates; I deleted the older two and kept the newest one. I suspect this may be related to provisioning or code signing, but I’m not sure how to resolve it within Android Studio. Any advice or steps to fix this would be greatly appreciated. I created a new test project in Xcode using the iOS > App template, enabled automatic signing in Signing & Capabilities, and selected my team.
 I then tried building and installing the app on a real device, and it worked successfully.
 This confirms that there are no issues with code signing or provisioning on the Apple side.
 Thanks in advance!

I can see that iOS beta 2 was released yesterday. I'm not running the beta yet on my actual iPhone, but I wanted to see if an issue I reported in beta 1 was fixed. Is there a way to update my iOS 26 simulator for beta 2? Usually, there's a new Xcode download that includes the new simulator, but it looks like the most recent Xcode beta release was June 9.

Hi, I have just updated my MacBook to Tahoe Beta 2, but now I cannot boot the iOS simulator. Where can I download the next Xcode beta? The Application download page is still showing the Xcode beta 1 build. Cheers, Jeff

In Simulator Korean character system has not working well. I want to type "", however, if I type the same thing on the simulator's virtual keyboard (Korean), it comes out as ''. I think this is caused by IME system in ios simulator bug. I think this has been happening since IOS 17.

I installed MacOS Sequoia 15.4 and now my backup script no longer works. My script is using rsync in this way: rsync -avz —delete —log-file=“$LOG_FILE” “$SRC_DIR” “$DEST_DIR” This has been working fine for a very long time. After updating to 15.4, this produces the error “rsync: unrecognized action —log-file=/users/admin/logs/backuplog_xxx.log”. The log file path is correct (and hasn’t changed). Interestingly, the man page for rsync no longer shows the —log-file as an option. I know I can use: rsync -avz —delete “$SRC_DIR” “$DEST_DIR” > “$LOG_FILE”` or even rsync -avz —delete “$SRC_DIR” “$DEST_DIR” > “$LOG_FILE” 2>&1` to also capture stderr. However, I liked the output from the built-In log option. Does anyone know why this might have been removed or if there is a way to get it back? Thanks.

How can I get the macOS version from the Mac Catalyst version? We're building Info.plist files ourselves but we need a way to programatically (using shell scripts) derive the LSMinimumSystemVersion key needed from the iOS deployment target.

My experience with Swift 6 strict concurrency so far doesn't match my understanding of implicit MainActor isolation semantics. This is a cross-post from StackOverflow. I will link answers between both forums. TL;DR Build succeeds when testing a struct declared in the test module, but fails when the struct is moved to the main module: Main actor-isolated property … cannot be accessed from outside the actor. Steps to reproduce Open up Xcode 26 beta 2 on macOS 26 (probably also ok on current stables). Create a new Swift app with Swift testing, no storage. Call it WhatTheSwift. Set the Swift Language Version on all three targets to Swift 6. Update the default test file to be this: import Testing @testable import WhatTheSwift struct WhatTheSwiftTests { @Test func example() async throws { let thing = Thing(foo: "bar") #expect(thing.foo == "bar") } } struct Thing { let foo: String } That should build fine, and the tests should pass. Now, move the Thing declaration into its own Thing.swift file in the WhatTheSwift module, and try running the test again. You should see this: Observations Marking the test @MainActor allows the test to pass, suggesting the compiler actually wants to isolate Thing.foo to the main actor. My question Why? And why only when Thing is in a different module?

Hi everyone, I’m working on a Capacitor app built with Angular, and I’m trying to call a Swift class directly from the root of the iOS project (next to AppDelegate.swift) without using a full Capacitor plugin structure. The Swift file is called RtspVlcPlugin.swift and looks like this: import Capacitor @objc(RtspVlcPlugin) public class RtspVlcPlugin: CAPPlugin { @objc func iniciar(_ call: CAPPluginCall) { call.resolve() } } In AppDelegate.swift I register it like this: if let bridge = self.window?.rootViewController as? CAPBridgeViewController { bridge.bridge?.registerPluginInstance(RtspVlcPlugin()) print("✅ RtspVlcPlugin registered.") } The registration message prints correctly in Xcode logs. But from Angular, when I try to call it like this: import { registerPlugin } from '@capacitor/core'; const RtspVlcPlugin: any = registerPlugin('RtspVlcPlugin'); RtspVlcPlugin.iniciar({ ... }); I get this error: {"code":"UNIMPLEMENTED"} So, even though the plugin is registered manually, it’s not exposing any methods to the Angular/Capacitor runtime. My question is: What is the correct way to access a manually created Swift class (in the root of the iOS project) from Angular via Capacitor? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I'm developing a Capacitor plugin to display an RTSP video stream using MobileVLCKit on iOS. The Android side works perfectly, but I can’t get the iOS plugin to work — it seems my Swift file is not being detected or recognized, even though I’ve followed the official steps. What works: I followed the Capacitor Plugin Development Guide. I implemented the Android version of the plugin in Java inside the android/ folder. Everything works perfectly from Angular: the plugin is recognized and calls execute correctly. The issue on iOS: I implemented the iOS part in Swift, using the official MobileVLCKit documentation. I initially placed my RtspVlcPlugin.swift file in the plugin’s iOS folder, as the docs suggest. Then I moved it directly into the main app’s ios/App/App/ folder next to AppDelegate.swift and tried manual registration. The problem: Even though I manually register the plugin with: if let bridge = self.window?.rootViewController as? CAPBridgeViewController { bridge.bridge?.registerPluginInstance(RtspVlcPlugin()) print("✅ Plugin RtspVlcPlugin registered manually.") } It prints the registration message just fine. BUT from Angular, the plugin is not recognized: Capacitor.Plugins.RtspVlcPlugin has no methods, and I get this error: "code":"UNIMPLEMENTED" I also tried declaring @objc(RtspVlcPlugin) and extending CAPPlugin. I’ve verified RtspVlcPlugin.swift is added to the target and compiled. The Swift file doesn’t seem to register or expose any methods to Angular. I even tried adding the code without using a plugin at all — just creating a Swift class and using it via the AppDelegate, but it still doesn't expose any callable methods. My Swift code (RtspVlcPlugin.swift): import Capacitor import MobileVLCKit @objc(RtspVlcPlugin) public class RtspVlcPlugin: CAPPlugin, VLCMediaPlayerDelegate { var mediaPlayer: VLCMediaPlayer? var containerView: UIView? var spinner: UIActivityIndicatorView? @objc func iniciar(_ call: CAPPluginCall) { guard let urlStr = call.getString("url"), let x = call.getDouble("x"), let y = call.getDouble("y"), let w = call.getDouble("width"), let h = call.getDouble("height"), let url = URL(string: urlStr) else { call.reject("Missing parameters") return } DispatchQueue.main.async { self.containerView?.removeFromSuperview() let cont = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: w, height: h)) cont.backgroundColor = .black cont.layer.cornerRadius = 16 cont.clipsToBounds = true let sp = UIActivityIndicatorView(style: .large) sp.center = CGPoint(x: w/2, y: h/2) sp.color = .white sp.startAnimating() cont.addSubview(sp) self.spinner = sp self.containerView = cont self.bridge?.viewController?.view.addSubview(cont) let player = VLCMediaPlayer() player.delegate = self player.drawable = cont player.media = VLCMedia(url: url) self.mediaPlayer = player player.play() call.resolve() } } @objc func cerrar(_ call: CAPPluginCall) { DispatchQueue.main.async { self.mediaPlayer?.stop() self.mediaPlayer = nil self.spinner?.stopAnimating() self.spinner?.removeFromSuperview() self.spinner = nil self.containerView?.removeFromSuperview() self.containerView = nil call.resolve() } } public func mediaPlayerStateChanged(_ aNotification: Notification!) { guard let player = mediaPlayer, player.state == .playing, let sp = spinner else { return } DispatchQueue.main.async { sp.stopAnimating() sp.removeFromSuperview() self.spinner = nil } } } In the Angular project, I’m using the plugin by manually registering it with registerPlugin from @capacitor/core. Specifically, in the service where I need it, I do the following: import { registerPlugin } from '@capacitor/core'; const RtspVlcPlugin: any = registerPlugin('RtspVlcPlugin'); After this, I try to call the methods defined in the iOS plugin, like RtspVlcPlugin.iniciar({ ... }), but I get an UNIMPLEMENTED error, which suggests that the plugin is not exposing its methods properly to the Angular/Capacitor environment. That makes me believe the problem lies in how the Swift file is integrated or registered, rather than how it is used from Angular. I’d appreciate any guidance on how to properly expose a Swift-based Capacitor plugin’s methods so that they are accessible from Angular. Is there any additional registration step or metadata I might be missing on the iOS side?

Hello, I'm not a developer. I have an app in the App Store and an Apple Developer account. I have two questions: 1. I'm trying to find out exactly where the source code of my app is located - I can't. It should be in Xcode. There is only Xcode cloud in my account, which is inactive. 2. I want to find out what programming language my app is written in. How do I do this?

Merhaba, iOS üzerinde bir sözleşme onay uygulaması geliştiriyorum. Kullanıcıların dijital ortamda sözleşmeleri okuyup onaylaması gerekiyor. Ancak hukuki geçerlilik konusunda bazı tereddütlerim vardı. Bursa’da yaşayan biri olarak bu konuda bir avukata danışmam gerekti. Şans eseri https://www.avukatcanata.com ile karşılaştım ve hem bireysel hem ticari sözleşmeler konusunda gerçekten çok net açıklamalar sundular. Özellikle elektronik imza ve KVKK uyumu hakkında verdikleri bilgiler sayesinde projemi yasal zemine oturtabildim. Eğer bu tarz uygulamalar geliştiriyorsanız, mutlaka bir hukukçu görüşü alın. Yanlış bir adım size veya kullanıcınıza ciddi sonuçlar doğurabilir. Teşekkürler 🍏

Does anyone know where I can get to the API diffs for iOS 18 -> iOS 26?

Under macOS 26 and iPadOS, the Help menu in many cases has a menu item for "App Help". This item has the following icon: I need to use this in my own app. I am unable to find this icon in SF Symbols 7 beta. I've scanned all of the icons under "What's New". I've searched for "help", "light", and "bulb" and this icon does not appear. Does anyone know if it's even a new SF Symbol? Or does anyone know of a way to use this icon?

I’m using Developer iOS app to watch WWDC session videos. i notice it doesn’t record a video as watched after I watched it and even manual marking it using Mark as Watch has no effect. I remember the issue started several years ago because some old WWDC videos were marked watches.

I was developing an app using a certain bundle ID, but then had to delete it (and I also removed the app ID Identifier) My question is, can I make a new app with the exact same bundle ID as I was using on the removed one? Since the old app never went into production I don't see why that would be a problem

Hello, Good morning to you all. Please I need a guide on how to change my app icon on the developer account. Necessary steps would be appreciated Thanks for the anticipated assistance. Best Regards Biggie

Hi everyone. I’m working on an iOS app that uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send push notifications. I’m encountering an issue when trying to send notifications either from Firebase Functions or directly using the FCM token with the Firebase Admin SDK and REST API. Error Message: FirebaseMessagingError: Auth error from APNS or Web Push Service code: 'messaging/third-party-auth-error' message: 'Auth error from APNS or Web Push Service' What I’ve Set Up: iOS App Registered in Firebase Bundle ID: Kilovative-Designs.ParkAware APNs Key downloaded from Apple Developer Portal Team ID and Key ID correctly entered in Firebase Console Firebase Admin SDK Service Account setup and used for sending Device is successfully receiving FCM tokens Subscribed to topics and calling Messaging.messaging().subscribe(toTopic:) works Using firebase-admin to send FCM messages via sendToDevice or sendToTopic What I’ve Tried: Tested push via firebase-admin in Node.js (got same APNs auth error) Tested with both topic-based and direct token-based push Confirmed the .p8 key is uploaded in Firebase, with correct Key ID and Team ID Tried generating a new APNs Auth Key Firebase Admin SDK is initialized with the correct service account Using Node.js firebase-admin with a known good FCM token, and sending this payload: { notification: { title: "Test Notification", body: "This is a direct FCM test" }, token: "cxleOwi73EhFh9C5_V4hED:APA91bE3W..." } Returns: FirebaseMessagingError: Auth error from APNS or Web Push Service Questions: Are there known conditions under which Firebase throws this error even if the APNs Auth Key is present? Does the Bundle ID need to start with com. in the Apple Developer Portal and Firebase for APNs authentication to work? Could this be a certificate or provisioning profile mismatch issue (even when using a .p8 key)? Is there a way to manually validate APNs authentication from Firebase outside of actual push delivery? Any insight or guidance would be incredibly helpful. I’m new to developing and have tried repeated efforts to fix this issue but still haven’t resolved it. Thanks in advance!
