Hi, I am developing a Screen Time App and I am having issues with the ShieldConfigurationExtension (ShieldConfigurationDataSource). I know this extensions is sandboxed but I should be able to read data from the main app. I am using SwiftData as my database, but I am unable to initialize it in the extensions with an error indicating insufficient file permissions. I have App Group set up and I am able to share data using UserDefaults but that is just inconvenient. Is there any way I could just open the SwiftData in read only mode so that I could display the user some info on the shield? SwiftData Init: private func setupContainer() throws { let schema = Schema([ DogEntity.self, HouseEntity.self ]) // Use app group container if available let config: ModelConfiguration if let containerURL = FileManager.default.containerURL( forSecurityApplicationGroupIdentifier: "group.\(Bundle.app.bundleIdentifier ?? "")" ) { config = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema, url: containerURL.appendingPathComponent("default.sqlite")) } else { config = ModelConfiguration(schema: schema) } self.container = try ModelContainer(for: schema, configurations: [config]) } Error in extension: fault: Attempt to add read-only file at path file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/51431199-5919-4AE6-940C-6FE3C53EEB46/default.sqlite read/write. Adding it read-only instead. This will be a hard error in the future; you must specify the NSReadOnlyPersistentStoreOption. error: (3) access permission denied error: Encountered exception error during prepareSQL for SQL string 'SELECT TBL_NAME FROM SQLITE_MASTER WHERE TBL_NAME = 'Z_METADATA'' : access permission denied with userInfo { NSFilePath = "/private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/51431199-5919-4AE6-940C-6FE3C53EEB46/default.sqlite"; NSSQLiteErrorDomain = 3; } while checking table name from store: <NSSQLiteConnection: 0x154100300> error: Store failed to load. <NSPersistentStoreDescription: 0x15402d590> (type: SQLite, url: file:///private/var/mobile/Containers/Shared/AppGroup/51431199-5919-4AE6-940C-6FE3C53EEB46/default.sqlite) with error = Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=256 "The file “default.sqlite” couldn’t be opened."

Is there any way to find the reason for a CRASHING_DUE_TO_PRIVACY_VIOLATION from a crash report? It does not happen on my old iPad Air 2 and it does not happen on the simulators with the latest iOS. But it crashes always on newer real devices to which I have no access. The last app review for the AppStore also did not find it. I added some privacy strings by guessing and sent it via TestFlight but it doesn't change anything.

Hi, I have tried to add Eve energy plug but still pairing failed, it reported always same error. Error Domain=com.apple.MatterSupport Code=1 "(null)" Could anyone help? Regards

Hello. We have an app and a custom dylib hat seems to be crashing only when Rosetta is involved. I believe it's the custom DYLIB that crashes. Here are some observations. The issue happens on the older 2022 built DYLIB (Intel only) And the newer DYLIB built (Universal) The universal DYLIB works fine natively on both Intel and M1 machines. It's only when we access it through an Intel only .app and it's running with Rosetta that we see the crash. The older Intel only .DYLIB worked perfectly with the same testing .app in versions before Sonoma, now they crash with the same .app, same build. Crash reports have been all over the place, they vary but repeat themselves. It has been a little confusing as to how to approach this issue and would appreciate any input that can help us understand what is going wrong and how to move forward. Crash reports are attached Crash Report 1 Crash Report 2 Crash Report 3 The crash occurs as SIGSEGV Version: 2.0 (1) Code Type: X86-64 (Translated) Parent Process: launchd [1] User ID: 501 Date/Time: 2025-04-14 19:55:06.0103 +0200 OS Version: macOS 14.6 (23G5075b) Report Version: 12 Anonymous UUID: A08ECCFA-BF01-8636-7453-E4476586D3A8 Time Awake Since Boot: 3900 seconds System Integrity Protection: enabled Notes: PC register does not match crashing frame (0x0 vs 0x102920144) Crashed Thread: 10 Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) Exception Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS at 0x000000011d052840 Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000001, 0x000000011d052840 Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 11 Segmentation fault: 11 Terminating Process: exc handler [3174] VM Region Info: 0x11d052840 is not in any region. Thank you so much for all the attention and effort.

Hello, I’ve followed all the steps you recommended and confirmed that the entitlement is correctly added in Xcode, but the provisioning profile still fails. I believe the issue is that my App ID com.echo.eyes.app is missing the com.apple.developer.speech-recognition entitlement on Apple’s end. Could you please manually add this entitlement to my App ID, or guide me on how to get it attached? I’ve already added it locally and confirmed the error in Xcode is due to it not being in the provisioning profile. .

In Availability and pricing section, there's a 500,000 API calls a month per Apple Developer Program membership limitation. Is this just to limit the number of calls for developer in development stage? After the app is uploaded to App store, users download and start to use this app. Will Weather API calls of general App users be included in 500,000 API calls? Thanks.

I am implementing the new Push to talk framework and I found an issue where channelManager(:didActivate:) is not called after I immediately return a NOT NIL activeRemoteParticipant from incomingPushResult. I have tested it and it could play the PTT audio in foreground and background. This issue is only occurring when I join the PTT Channel from the app foreground, then kill the app. The channel gets restored via channelDescriptor(restoredChannelUUID:). After the channel gets restored, I send PTT push. I can see that my device is receiving the incomingPushResult and returning the activeRemotePartipant and the notification panel is showing that A is speaking - but channelManager(:didActivate:) never gets called. Thus resulting in no audio being played. Rejoining the channel fixes the issue. And reopening the app also seems to fix the issue.

Hello, I'm currently working with Smart App Banners and trying to test how they appear and behave on iOS. However, I need to test the Smart Banner in a debug or non-production environment to ensure everything works as expected. According to the documentation for Smart App Banners (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/webkit/promoting-apps-with-smart-app-banners?language=objc), it appears that the banner only shows in production builds or live apps. Is there any way to trigger or test the Smart Banner in a debug mode or non-production environment? Any advice or workaround for testing this feature would be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance!

We just dropped support for iOS 16 in our app and migrated to the new properties on Locale to extract the language code, region, and script. However, after doing this we are seeing an issue where the script property is returning a value when the language has no script. Here is the initializer that we are using to populate the values. The identifier is coming from the preferredLanguages property that is found on Locale. init?(identifier: String) { let locale = Locale(identifier: identifier) guard let languageCode = locale.language.languageCode?.identifier else { return nil } language = languageCode region = locale.region?.identifier script = locale.language.script?.identifier } Whenever I inspect locale.language I see all of the correct values. However, when I inspect locale.language.script directly it is always returning Latn as the value. If I inspect the deprecated locale.scriptCode property it will return nil as expected. Here is an example from the debugger for en-AU. I also see the same for other languages such as en-AE, pt-BR. Since the language components show the script as nil, then I would expect locale.language.script?.identifier to also return nil.

Since iOS 18.3.1, In lower iOS versions it works fine though. QLPreviewController shows a blank white screen instead of showing the document. Additionally, it does not display the 'Done' option at the top-right to close the view. Presenting the QLPreviewController works fine to display the document, but for the second time, it renders the blank white screen as described. While launching QLPreviewControllerView for the first time. I'm receiving the following message in the console and it displays the document. LaunchServices: store (null) or url (null) was nil: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=process may not map database, _LSLine=72, _LSFunction=_LSServer_GetServerStoreForConnectionWithCompletionHandler} Attempt to map database failed: permission was denied. This attempt will not be retried. Closing the QLPreviewController with the help of the 'Done' option from top-right or swipe to close triggers the following message in the console.

I'm working on adding MetricKit to our iPad application that we distribute internally via Enterprise distribution. I've set up the didReceive functions for both MXMetricPayload and MXDiagnosticPayload. When I build onto a device via Xcode and use the Simulate MetricKit Payloads command, everything works as expected. The issue I'm having is when testing on a device via our enterprise distribution. When I simulate a crash, I am receiving the MXDiagnosticPayload so that part is working correctly. However, I am never receiving a MXMetricPayload. I've been using the app and waiting up to 3 days in some tests and not receiving any payload over that time frame. Some information I found suggested the issue might be MetricKit not working fully on enterprise apps but I haven't been able to find a definitive source on that question. Hoping someone here can guide me on that. Thanks!

I would like the function in the calendar app to be able to assign a status to the set appointment, such as unconfirmed or pending.

When using libXML2 to parse HTML, by default, libXML2 normalizes and merges whitespace characters (including line breaks) on text nodes, which can cause line breaks within tags such as,, script, style, etc. to be removed or merged. But for tags like, line breaks and whitespace are meaningful and need to be preserved. How should it be set up?

Hello, I would like to retrieve Screen Time data in my iOS app for development purposes. I have read that access to Screen Time data may be possible if you are enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an organization (enterprise membership), but not as an individual developer. Could anyone clarify the following points? Is it possible to access Screen Time data via API or framework as an individual developer? Is this functionality limited only to enterprise members, and if so, what are the requirements or procedures? Are there any official Apple documents or sample codes about this process? If anyone has experience or can share relevant links or advice, I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance!
