My app AirCompare has been in the app store and successfully using WeatherKit to fetch weather since it became available. Now some (not all) users are encountering the following errors:
Failed to generate jwt token for: com.apple.weatherkit.authservice with error: Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)"
Encountered an error when fetching weather data subset; location=<+42.40865786,-88.96911526> +/- 0.00m (speed -1.00 mps / course -1.00) @ 6/23/25, 2:56:47 PM Central Daylight Time, error=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors 2 Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)"
Others are reporting this same problem here in the forums. We need a solution!

I have installed the macOS 26 WWDC beta on a secondary volume, and set it up with two user accounts (both administrators).
However, the options for switching users without fully logging out are nowhere to be found.
The topic is still included in macOS Help and is shown when searching for “fast” in System Settings, however, the option is hidden/missing in the pref pane when selected.

Hello everyone.
I use Translation Framework in my application. During development everything was fine, Translation framework worked well, but after two or three days of using the production version (that was published in AppStore and available for others also!) - my application stopped working. Translation framework gives errors:
Error sending 1 paragraphs Error Domain=TranslationErrorDomain Code=16 "Translation failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Translation failed, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offline models not available for language pair}
Failed to translate input 0; returning error: Error Domain=TranslationErrorDomain Code=16 "Translation failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Translation failed, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offline models not available for language pair}
Received unbridged NSError to API, converting to .internalError: Error Domain=TranslationErrorDomain Code=16 "Translation failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Translation failed, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offline models not available for language pair}
Once again - it worked when I developed it, it was released on the AppStore, and suddenly it stopped working!
I'm working on building a Text Messages Filter Extension app and currently facing the below error:
"Cannot find 'ILMessageFilterExtensionConfigurationManager' in scope".
As required the app includes MessageFilterStatusManager.swift file, with the host app designated as the Target Membership.
App minimum deployment is set to iOS 17.6 and I'm working with Xcode Version 26.2.
If anyone has encountered this error I'd appreciate your feedback.
Hello,
After being in the AppStore for more than a year with the app working perfectly, yesterday I started seeing that WeatherKit requests failed with
Failed to generate jwt token for: com.apple.weatherkit.authservice with error: Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)"
Encountered an error when fetching weather data subset; location=<+41.40217108,+2.20023642> +/- 0.00m (speed -1.00 mps / course -1.00) @ 13/12/25, 12:20:35 Central European Standard Time, error=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors 2 Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)"
I checked on developer.apple.com and we still have everything turned on and
No changes were made from an already deployed app; and we pay 200$ a month for WeatherKit, this is unacceptable since it's not the first time WeatherKit randomly decides to stop working.
More fun facts: the widget works fine...
We appreciate your suggestion to use the Apple Developer Forums. However, we must respectfully request further escalation of this issue beyond the forums for several critical reasons:
Severity and Scope: This is not a general development discussion topic. We are facing a massive, reproducible performance issue on iOS 16 that renders devices unresponsive, requiring factory resets or DFU restores. This goes far beyond typical app bugs and points to a potential systemic issue in the OS's image handling.
Insufficiency of Forum Support: While the forums are a valuable resource for community advice, they cannot provide the official, in-depth technical diagnosis from Apple engineers that this situation demands. Our users' devices are being bricked by an app update that passed App Review, and we require clarity on the root cause to prevent further damage and restore user trust.
Code-Level Support Eligibility: As members of the Apple Developer Program, we believe our issue falls under the purview of Code-Level Support, as described on the Apple Developer website 9. Our problem involves "building or running software" and requires expertise in Apple's frameworks and hardware-level image rendering APIs. We request that our case be forwarded to that specialized team.
To reiterate the core problem: Our update introduced 1024x1026 JPEG assets into the Asset Catalog. On iOS 16, this causes severe overheating, freezing, and device unresponsiveness. Replacing them with PNGs completely resolves the issue. This suggests a potentially serious regression in iOS 16's JPEG decoding or memory management pipeline.
We prepared to provide a sample project that demonstrates the issue if required. Our case number is 102678393572.
We urgently need to understand why this happens at the OS level to ensure our app is safe and to contribute to the stability of the iOS platform. Please escalate this case to the appropriate technical team for a detailed investigation.
Sincerely,

I have downloaded the ShinyTV example to test simplified sign-in on tvOS since it is not working in my own app, and I am having the same issue there.
After assigning my team to the sample app, the bundle ID updates with my team id. I copy the bundle ID into a file entitled "apple-app-site-association" with this format:
{
"webcredentials": {
"apps": [ "{MyTeamID}.com.example.apple-samplecode.ShinyTV{MyTeamID}" ]
}
}
I upload the file to my personal site, ensuring that the content type is application/json. I adjust the Associated Domain entitlement to:
webcredentials:*.{personal-site.com}?mode=developer
using the alternate mode to force it to load from my site, not the CDN.
When I run the build on tvOS, and click the Sign In button, it fails with these errors:
Failed to start session: Error Domain=com.apple.CompanionServices.CPSErrorDomain Code=205 "Failed to prepare authorization requests" UserInfo={NSMultipleUnderlyingErrorsKey=(

What am I missing here?
We have a subscription WeatherKit app which has been on the App Store since December 2023.
I am getting intermittent JWT auth failures on customer devices. In the great majority of cases, the request succeeds, but sometimes it fails, and sometimes it fails and never recovers. I’m working with a customer right now who is unable to get any weather data at all, and the logs he sends me show
WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors error 2
The app uses the WeatherKit SDK (we are not using the REST API directly). We know we have the project setup as it has been working since launch, and I can verify weatherkit using
security cms -D -i embedded.mobileprovision
It it not a problem with the specific query, since I can get data for the dates and locations they are requesting. I can’t replicate the problem on my test devices.
In case there is a rate limit issue: this app is a bit unusual and downloads an unusual amount of data at once using multiple queries in parallel using a TaskGroup. When the user creates a location, the app downloads a 10 day block of weather (7 days in the past + 3 day forecast) using
WeatherService.shared.weather(
for: location,
including: WeatherQuery.daily(
startDate: startDate,
endDate: endDate
),
WeatherQuery.hourly(
startDate: startDate,
endDate: endDate
)
)
It also downloads about 2 months of daily precipitation data using multiple parallel calls to dailySummary in 10 day blocks:
WeatherService.shared.dailySummary(
for: location,
forDaysIn: DateInterval(start: startDate, end: endDate),
including: .precipitation
)
In almost every case, including on my test devices, this works. But some users get WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors error 2 on every request.
The two users yesterday that had this problem were both on iOS 18.5 for what that's worth, though the app supports 17.2+
Is anyone else seeing this? And can anyone suggest anything else to explore? It's obviously a terrible experience for customers who pay for the service and are unable to get any data.
I did submit this info to Apple as FB18276275
app packged with Xcode16 crashed on iOS12 certainly. My question is:
is it known issue for Apple team?
to resolve this issue, what can we developers do?
This is
Since iOS 18.4 and macOS 15.4 updating the calendar of an (ek)event (to another accounts calendar) or detaching an repeating event throws an error while saving:
"Access denied"
EKEventStore.save(event, span: .thisEvent, commit: true)
catch {
"Access denied"
}
I'm reading the "Testing Age Assurance in Sandbox" doc, but I couldn't figure out the step:

Where is the "main menu"?
Hello,
I have an app that emulates an NFC card using NFC HCE.
Since yesterday I saw an increasing number of crashes on iOS 26 only, which wasn't there before.
From what I can see, it seems the app crashes when the NFC presentment intent is shown and 60 seconds passed and user does nothing. The app just crashes after 60 seconds.
On previous iOS versions, I know that CardSession.Error.maxSessionDurationReached was thrown after 60 seconds.
Is something changed in iOS 26?
In my application, I use CallKit and have supportsHolding = true set. During my phone call, another call comes in (e.g., GSM). I accept the incoming call and put the current call on hold.
If I end the active call myself, everything is fine, and CallKit calls the
method provider(_ provider: CXProvider, didActivate audioSession: AVAudioSession).
However, if the other party ends the call, the second call remains on hold. In the application, the user clicks on unhold, and I notify CallKit that the hold has ended.
But in this case, the didActivate method is not called at all. If I try to activate the audio myself after unhold, I receive the error:
Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=561017449 "Session activation failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Session activation failed}
AVAudioSessionErrorInsufficientPriority == NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code: 561017449
What needs to be done for CallKit to activate my audio?
In my Catalyst app I use
func setupMailComposer() {
// Check if the device can send email
guard MFMailComposeViewController.canSendMail() else {
print("Mail services are not available")
showMailErrorAlert()
return
}
// Create and configure the mail composer
let mailComposeVC = MFMailComposeViewController()
mailComposeVC.mailComposeDelegate = self
// Set the email details
mailComposeVC.setToRecipients(["example@example.com"])
mailComposeVC.setSubject("Subject for your email")
mailComposeVC.setMessageBody("This is the body of the email.", isHTML: false)
// Attach a file (optional)
if let filePath = Bundle.main.path(forResource: "example", ofType: "pdf"),
let fileData = try? Data(contentsOf: URL(fileURLWithPath: filePath)) {
mailComposeVC.addAttachmentData(fileData, mimeType: "application/pdf", fileName: "example.pdf")
}
// Present the mail composer
self.present(mailComposeVC, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
Since I have updated to macOS 15.1 the canSendMail() function returns false although I have configured Apple Mail (like before in 15.0 where it worked flawlessly).
I have universal links configured for my iOS app which work as expected when the app is installed. When the app is not installed the universal link will go to the browser as expected.
What I want to do is redirect to the app store, allow the user to install the app, then redirect them to the initial universal link. Redirecting them to the app store isn't the hard part I can achieve that from the webpage, however I don't know how to save a reference to that initial link to redirect them once they instal the app.
What I want the flow to be for a user who doesn't have the app is:
visit a universal link (example.com/UUID)
redirect to the app store and install the app
open the app and redirect to example.com/UUID
I've seen some ways people are doing this with the clipboard but I don't love that solution, I also don't want to use a 3rd party service if I can avoid it - how are the 3rd party services making this happen?
iOS Message Filter Extension - deferQueryRequestToNetwork(completion:) error
I made a test app using the iOS App template and added a target using the Message Filter Extension template which invokes deferQueryRequestToNetwork(completion:) when receiving an SMS.
The app and the extension have same "Associated Domains Capabilities" with "messagefilter" pointing to a server which receives query requests and returns proper responses. The extension has the "ILMessageFilterExtensionNetworkURL" key in Info.plist file which specifies the server URL.
deferQueryRequestToNetwork(completion:) throws a com.apple.calls.messagefilter error which reads "Extension's containing app (appID ) unauthorized to defer requests to host "
I have an option in my app to set the URL Handler for smb or switch it back to Finder. But using my code below it always give me a -10819 error. Which is a generic kLSNotRegisteredErr, even those the documentation shows "Not currently used."
func setDefaultHandler(bundleID: String) {
DebugLogger.shared.log("Attempting to set \(bundleID) as default handler for SMB URLs")
// Post Sonoma macOS requires user interaction to change default handlers
// We'll register our app and then guide the user to System Settings
// For our app, register it with Launch Services
if bundleID != "com.apple.finder" {
if let appBundleURL = Bundle.main.bundleURL as CFURL? {
let registerResult = LSRegisterURL(appBundleURL, true)
DebugLogger.shared.log("LSRegisterURL result: [\(appBundleURL)]\(registerResult)")
}
}
// Check current handler using modern API
let testSMBURL = URL(string: "smb://example.com")!
if let handlerURL = NSWorkspace.shared.urlForApplication(toOpen: testSMBURL) {
DebugLogger.shared.log("Current default handler is: \(handlerURL)")
// Try to get the bundle ID from the URL
var currentHandlerBundleID = ""
if let bundle = Bundle(url: handlerURL) {
if let handlerBundleID = bundle.bundleIdentifier {
currentHandlerBundleID = handlerBundleID
DebugLogger.shared.log("Current default handler bundle ID: \(handlerBundleID)")
}
}
// Check if the current handler is already what we want
let alreadySet = currentHandlerBundleID == bundleID
DebugLogger.shared.log("Handler is already set correctly: \(alreadySet)")
if alreadySet {
let alert = NSAlert()
alert.messageText = "Default Handler Status"
alert.informativeText = "\(bundleID == "com.apple.finder" ? "Finder" : "LGN") is already set as the default handler for SMB URLs."
alert.addButton(withTitle: "OK")
alert.runModal()
} else {
// Guide the user to System Settings to change the handler
promptToSetDefaultHandler(bundleID == "com.apple.finder" ? "Finder" : "LGN")
}
} else {
DebugLogger.shared.log("Could not determine current handler")
promptToSetDefaultHandler(bundleID == "com.apple.finder" ? "Finder" : "LGN")
}
}
I have also tested this on iOS 26 (Beta 9 and above), and the CallKit call blocking functionality is not working. Numbers that should be blocked still ring through. Caller Identification continues to function as expected, but blocking entries (addBlockingEntry) are ignored.
Hi All,
I am facing one problem in my app.
That is open battery settings from my app.
It is working fine in iOS 16.0.0 and it's not working in iOS 18.6.1
is it possible to make it workable in iOS 18.6.1?
If so How to do that?
Please help me over this to resolve the problem.
Thanks,
Nguyen Quang Minh
In iOS 18 (beta 1-4) when you set openAppWhenRun = false in your AppIntent of your live activity the perform function never gets called.
In iOS 16 and 17 my live activities work. I have downloaded other apps and in their live activities any button tab which doesn´t open the app is also doing nothing in iOS 18.
Has anyone got this working? Any comments from an Apple engineer on this?
