React native app crash on TestFlight
Good day everyone. I have a react native app which works on dev mode on my device - Iphone 13 pro version: 18.5, but when deployed to TestFlight and installed on same device it crashes when ever I click on any TextInput. I downloaded the crash file but finding it difficult to pinpoint the problem. I want to know what the problem is, if it's related to an installed package or code base or any other. Any help will be appreciated!!! Thanks. crashlog.crash

Assets.car not being built as part of the archiving and distribution process
I am working on a MAUI application. When I go to archive my build to then release it, my bundle is not including the Assets.car file that apple is seemingly expecting for handling the app icons, which is leading to issues trying to publish my app. The assets are in a AppIcon.appiconset folder in my project (under Platforms>iOS>Resources) with a proper Contents.json file also in there. They are setup as a BundledResource (also have tried ImageAssets for the build type but with the same issue occurring). I am using visual studio 2022 on Windows 11 paired with a Mac (Sequoia 15.5) and Xcode 16.4. I have even tried manually compiling the asset catalog from xcode16.4 and trying to use terminal commands to have actool create the Assets.car but that runs with no files created to the output destination as well as no errors. I believe there may be an issue with actools in my Xcode copy. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck. Any suggestions or tips?

iOS Sdk Version vs iOS Version
When you update XCode it updates the sdk version, but do changes in the sdk take effect for apps running in a lower iOS version or only the corresponding iOS version or higher? For instance, https://developer.apple.com/documentation/ios-ipados-release-notes/ios-ipados-18_1-release-notes Do changes listed in the notes only happen for apps that are running on iOS 18.1 devices or on any device with the app compiled against the 18.1 sdk version? Am I the only person who finds the docs totally unclear on this?

Could you please add a feedback/question feature for the Apple Developer Documentation?
Routinely I'll have additional questions when browsing the Apple Developer Documentation. Would be really convenient if we could just submit that feedback from the documentation webpage itself, Apple could have the data, and potentially down the line address it; but at least you'd have the data. For example, I'm looking at the documentation for AttributedString: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/attributedstringprotocol/index(_:offsetbycharacters:) Now, I would like to know what would happen if the distance brought the position past the end, what would be returned. Because it's non-optional which I imagine would imply nil would be returned if the parameters were invalid. But it doesn't say. I run into these small missing behavioral details with some regularity and imagine others do as well. It would be really great if we could just submit that discrepancy and perhaps see some numbers on the page of the total number of discrepancies submitted or something so we can see that it's not just us and have some peace of mind that based on the amount of feedback submitted there's a higher chance that this discrepancy will be addressed in the future.

IOS dylib to vision pro (Unity)
Hi, I am trying to bring an existing Unity app to vision pro, and am trying to make all of the librairies compatible (the project loads native libs at runtime). For some of them, there is an arm64 IOS .framework file that seems to build and be found easily in the device, but for one of them I only got a .dylib. When building on xcode, it tells me it can't find it. So I added it to the lib search path in build settings, and it built. But on the device, it still can't seem to find the .dylib : Library not loaded: ./libpdfium.dylib Referenced from: <59B1ACCC-FFFD-3448-B03D-69AE95604C77> /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/0606D884-CB09-44CA-8E4F-4A309D2E7053/[...].app/Frameworks/UnityFramework.framework/UnityFramework Reason: tried: '/usr/lib/system/introspection/libpdfium.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache), './libpdfium.dylib' (no such file), '/usr/lib/system/introspection/libpdfium.dylib' (no such file, not in dyld cache), '//libpdfium.dylib' (no such file) I am not used to Apple environment, is there a way to correctly reference this .dylib (not talking about compatibility here, just the first "lib found" step) ? Thanks.

What's the idea behind the changes in the Objective-C flavor of the Foundation documentation?
I just noticed that when you check the online documentation for Foundation using the delicious Objective-C flavor, some values are no more the expected ones: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/filemanager/copyitem(at:to:)?language=objc#return-value true if the item was copied successfully or the file manager’s delegate stopped the operation deliberately. Returns false if an error occurred. Considering that a BOOL used to be YES or NO for the last quarter of a century, I have the following question: [Q] What is the idea behind the disturbing changes of the Objective-C documentation?

Can't download macOS 26 beta 8
Any time I attempt to download the latest beta of macOS 26, Safari stops the download at Zero KB, with no indication of why. I'm able to download OS 26 beta 8 for the other platforms absolutely fine, just not macOS. Pressing the little orange "reload" button, just results in another copy of the same zero KB file bundle on the file system. Can anyone help please?

The signature of cannot be validated and may have been compromised
I'm currently developing a Unity game for iPad and have run into a critical issue that's completely blocking me from building the project. The project uses the Mapbox SDK for Unity. Everything was working fine during today test build on the iPad. I made minor changes - just four scripts, then attempted another build. However, Xcode began showing the following error: The signature of “MapboxCommon.xcframework” cannot be validated and may have been compromised. Validation Error: The signing certificate has been revoked (CSSMERR_TP_CERT_REVOKED) This error now occurs consistently. I've tried building on a different MacBook and with a different Apple account, but the result is the same. I haven't made any changes to the Mapbox framework, nor have I updated it recently. I'm trying to determine the root cause: Is this something I've done on my end? Or is it an issue with the Mapbox framework or their signing certificate? Is there a temporary workaround that would allow me to proceed with development builds while I investigate a proper fix? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Flutter: abnormal delay on iOS in position recovery on first opening
Good morning everyone, I am developing a Flutter app for Android and iOS. When I press a button, the app detects the location of the device (obviously with permissions already granted). On Android everything works correctly. On iOS, however, when I press the button for the first time after opening the app, the location is detected after about 30-50 seconds. On the other hand, if I repeat the operation later, the response time is drastically reduced (only a few seconds). I am using the location package (https://pub.dev/packages/location), and the code to get the location is as follows: var currentLocation = await location.getLocation(); Has anyone experienced this problem before or knows how to solve it? Thank you very much! Federico

Removing dependence on -undefined dynamic_lookup
One of the libraries that makes up my application depends on -undefined dynamic_lookup to link, and has since at least Snow Leopard if not earlier. I think iOS hasn't liked this for a while, but with the new linker I'm getting deprecation warnings even on OS X. I don't entirely understand what this flag does, other than it makes the build successful. :) So I'm at a loss on how to even approach fixing it. At this point, even links to useful resources would be appreciated, since googling hasn't yielded much beyond "remove -undefined to quiet the deprecation warning." FWIW, there is a bit of circular dependence between this library and another. On another OS, we need a carefully choreographed dance of building object files, then import libraries, then final linking to make this all work. So I suspect this may be related, but even if I'm correct, I don't know what would be the equivalent tools on Apple platforms.

Apple SDKs should provide libunwind_ext.h on macOS
(Copy pasted from FB17261080 that I submitted) Hi: Apple's SDK (libSystem.B.tbd) provides definition for multiple symbols(__unw_add_dynamic_fde / __unw_add_find_dynamic_unwind_sections ), but doesn't provide corresponding headers, available in LLVM upstream as libunwind_ext.h We need such headers to write Exception-Enabled JIT Framework for macOS

Why does a Swift test think my simple struct is main actor-isolated?
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?
