Overview

Hello, I need to develop a Network Extension (Transparent Proxy) that sends data to the host application for analysis. Network Extension - XPC client Host application - XPC service I am trying to implement it with XPC. However, when attempting to connect, I see the following error in the system logs on client side. [0x1015a2050] failed to do a bootstrap look-up: xpc_error=[3: No such process] I assume the problem occurs because the Network Extension cannot find the registered XPC service. On the service side, I see the following message in the logs: 2026-02-24 13:15:36.419345+0300 localhost fgstnehost[58884]: (libxpc.dylib) [com.apple.xpc:connection] [0x100bdee70] activating connection: mach=true listener=true peer=false name=TEAM_ID.group.app_id.netfilter.xpc Entitlements Network Extension: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension</key> <array> <string>app-proxy-provider-systemextension</string> </array> <key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> <array> <string>TEAM_ID.group.app_id.netfilter</string> </array> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.xpc.mach-lookup.global-name</key> <array> <string>TEAM_ID.group.app_id.netfilter.xpc</string> </array> </dict> </plist> Entitlements host application: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.networking.networkextension</key> <array> <string>app-proxy-provider-systemextension</string> </array> <key>com.apple.developer.system-extension.install</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> <array> <string>TEAM_ID.group.app_id.netfilter</string> </array> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.xpc.mach-service.name</key> <array> <string>TEAM_ID.group.app_id.netfilter.xpc</string> </array> </dict> </plist> Server.m @interface XPCServer () @property (nonatomic, strong) NSXPCListener *listener; @end @implementation XPCServer - (instancetype) init { self = [super init]; if (self != nil) { _listener = [[NSXPCListener alloc] initWithMachServiceName: XPC_SERVICE_ID]; _listener.delegate = self; } return self; } - (void) start { [self.listener resume]; } - (BOOL) listener:(NSXPCListener *) listener shouldAcceptNewConnection:(NSXPCConnection *) newConnection { return YES; } @end Client.m @interface XPCClient () @property (nonatomic, strong) NSXPCConnection *connection; @end @implementation XPCClient - (void) connect { self.connection = [[NSXPCConnection alloc] initWithMachServiceName: XPC_SERVICE_ID options: NSXPCConnectionPrivileged]; self.connection.invalidationHandler = ^{ [[OSLogger sharedInstance] error: "XPCClient: connection can not be formed or the connection has terminated and may not be re-established"]; }; self.connection.interruptionHandler = ^{ [[OSLogger sharedInstance] error: "XPCClient: the remote process exits or crashes"]; }; [self.connection resume]; } @end What could be the root cause of this issue? Are there any recommendations for implementing IPC between a Network Extension and aß Host Application? Thank you in advance.

I have an app with fairly typical requirements - I need to insert some data (in my case from the network but could be anything) and I want to do it in the background to keep the UI responsive. I'm using SwiftData. I've created a ModelActor that does the importing and using the debugger I can confirm that the data is indeed being inserted. On the UI side, I'm using @Query and a SwiftUI List to display the data but what I am seeing is that @Query is not updating as the data is being inserted. I have to quit and re-launch the app in order for the data to appear, almost like the context running the UI isn't communicating with the context in the ModelActor. I've included a barebones sample project. To reproduce the issue, tap the 'Background Insert' button. You'll see logs that show items being inserted but the UI is not showing any data. I've tested on the just released iOS 18b3 seed (22A5307f). The sample project is here: https://hanchor.s3.amazonaws.com/misc/SwiftDataBackgroundV2.zip

My developer account was terminated on February 26, 2026. Case ID: 102831495509 I'm a solo developer. My app (Reazy, a text-to-speech tool for students with dyslexia) was never published — I was still in the review process. I have no other Apple developer accounts and have never had one terminated before. The termination email cited "documented indications of fraudulent conduct" under Section 3.2(f) but gave no specifics. I have not manipulated reviews, used fake accounts, or engaged in any fraudulent activity. I genuinely don't know what triggered this. I've submitted appeals via developer.apple.com/contact with no response. Can someone please explain what was flagged so I can address it? I'm happy to provide any documentation needed.

Hi friends, I need a design and coding team to publish a fintech app. Can anyone help me with this?

My application has been pending review for almost two months and is stuck in the "waiting for review" stage. Could you please check it for me?

We use AppShortcutsProvider with a parameterized App Shortcut. One of the entities has a dynamic display title (e.g. "Everyone is searching: {keyword}") that comes from UserDefaults and is returned in EntityQuery.suggestedEntities() and entities(for:). When we change the keyword and call updateAppShortcutParameters(), the Shortcuts app updates and shows the new title. In Spotlight (Siri Suggestions), the displayed title stays on the old value (e.g. still shows "Everyone is searching: 456" after we switched to "123"). On tap, the shortcut runs with the new value (123), so the execution is correct; only the displayed title in Spotlight is stale. Question: Is this expected? Is there any API or recommended approach to invalidate or refresh the Spotlight suggestion so the displayed title matches the current parameter, or should we avoid dynamic titles for the first suggestion for better UX?

Hello, I am reaching out regarding my latest update, which has remained in “Waiting for Review” status for an extended period. In the past, my updates have generally proceeded through review without significant delays, and I would normally be willing to wait if this were part of a broader backlog. However, based on recent experiences shared by fellow developers, it appears that this delay may not be affecting all accounts equally. For this reason, I would like to confirm whether there might be any specific issue with my submission. I have already submitted an expedited review request and contacted Developer Support, but I have not yet received any response. At this point, I would greatly appreciate confirmation on the following: Whether there are any issues blocking the review of this submission Whether any additional information is required from my side Or whether the app is simply still pending reviewer assignment I fully understand that the App Review team may be handling a high volume of submissions. If possible, I would sincerely appreciate it if someone could kindly take a look at my case. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

Hello, I would like to formally raise a concern regarding an ongoing lack of communication in the review process. Two of my applications have been in the “Waiting for Review” stage for an unusually extended period. During this time, I have: • Sent multiple support emails • Submitted an expedited review request • Attempted to follow up through official channels Despite these efforts, I have not received a single response or status update. I understand that review timelines can fluctuate depending on workload and complexity. However, prolonged silence without acknowledgment creates uncertainty and directly impacts release planning, user acquisition strategy, and overall operational decisions. This is not a complaint about review duration alone. It is primarily about the absence of communication. Even a brief confirmation or estimated timeline would significantly improve the situation. I respectfully request clarification on the status of these submissions and the reason for the continued “Waiting for Review” state. I sincerely hope this matter can be resolved promptly. Thank you for your time. Best regards, Berkay

I'm building a macOS network monitor using NEFilterDataProvider as a system extension, distributed with Developer ID signing. On macOS 26.3 (Tahoe), sysextd consistently rejects the activation request with "no policy, cannot allow apps outside /Applications" — despite the app being in /Applications and passing every verification check. I'm aware of the known Xcode NE signing bug (r. 108838909) and have followed the manual signing process from Exporting a Developer ID Network Extension. I've also tried both xcodebuild build and xcodebuild archive workflows — identical failure. Environment macOS 26.3 (25D125), SIP enabled Xcode 26.3 (17C529) Hardware Apple M2 Pro Certificate Developer ID Application (issued Jan 30, 2026 — 27 days old) MDM/Profiles None installed Signing & Verification (all pass) $ spctl -a -vv /Applications/Chakshu.app /Applications/Chakshu.app: accepted source=Notarized Developer ID origin=Developer ID Application: ROBIN SHARMA (R65679C4F3) $ codesign --verify --deep --strict -vv /Applications/Chakshu.app /Applications/Chakshu.app: valid on disk /Applications/Chakshu.app: satisfies its Designated Requirement $ xcrun stapler validate /Applications/Chakshu.app The validate action worked!

System-level checks: Rebooting — no change Killing sysextd — no change Removing com.apple.quarantine xattr — no change chown root:wheel on app bundle — no change lsregister -r (reset Launch Services) — no change Waiting 27 days for certificate propagation — no change Reinstalling via Finder drag-to-Applications — no change No MDM or configuration profiles installed /Library/SystemExtensions/db.plist shows extensionPolicies: [] (empty) Key observation Pre-existing network extensions activated before macOS 26 work fine on this machine. For example, Tailscale's NEPacketTunnelProvider shows state: activated_enabled in the system extensions database — it was activated on a prior macOS version and is still running. Only new system extension activations fail. I've seen similar Tahoe-specific reports from LuLu (same NEFilterDataProvider type, Developer ID distribution): LuLu #825 LuLu #831 Questions Is this a known regression in macOS 26's sysextd policy evaluation for new Developer ID system extension activations? sysextd's policy check fails after all signature and trust evaluation succeeds. Is there a separate trust/policy path that sysextd consults beyond what spctl, codesign, and CodeSigningHelper verify? Is there anything else I should be checking? I have a sysdiagnose captured immediately after the failure, a minimal reproducer project, and full raw sysextd logs available on request.

I have several macOS applications that use CloudKit. I need to test and finds out what happens when the user signs out of their iCloud account. That's because the application may lose data after signing out and then signing in again. Every time I do that, it'll take 15, 20 minutes... I don't time it, but it takes quite a gigantic time to sign out as the spinner keeps rolling. Why does it take so long to just sign out? This sign out effect is untestable because it takes a long time to sign out of an iCloud account and then make changes to the code and then test again. In case you need to know, my system version is Sequoia 15.7.

My iOS game update has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” status for over 11 days now • This is a critical bug fix update addressing gameplay issues, that are negatively affecting players, retention, and ratings. • Expedited review request submitted, no movement or acknowledgment. • Developer Support ticket opened a few days ago, no response yet. • No flags, warnings or Resolution Center items visible. If anyone from App Review or Support could check the status, confirm any blockers, or escalate this, it would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance for any assistance!

​I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the noticeable and unusual delays in the app and update review process throughout this month of February. ​We have observed that all of our recent submissions have been stuck in the "Waiting for Review" status for periods that far exceed the standard App Store review times. This continuous delay is having a direct and negative impact on our workflow, as it is hindering our ability to: ​Release critical updates and timely bug fixes. ​Roll out new features that our users are expecting. ​Adhere to our planned marketing strategies and launch schedules. ​While we highly value your ongoing efforts to maintain the quality and security of the App Store, we kindly request some clarification on the cause of these widespread delays this month. We also urgently request that you expedite the review process for our pending submissions to prevent further disruption to our users' experience. ​Here are the details of the affected I have sent many emails no response

aka MKLocalSearch.Request in Swift. Today my users reported that our address auto-complete functionality was returning strange results. We narrowed the issue down to pointOfInterestFilter being set. Sample code below: MKLocalSearchRequest *request = [[MKLocalSearchRequest alloc] init]; request.region = self.region; request.naturalLanguageQuery = addressString; request.resultTypes = MKLocalSearchResultTypeAddress; request.pointOfInterestFilter = [MKPointOfInterestFilter filterIncludingAllCategories]; That last line is the problem. When I stopped setting request.pointOfInterestFilter the MKLocalSearch started working as it always had. To further hammer home the point, with request.pointOfInterestFilter unset I set resultTypes to MKLocalSearchCompleterResultTypePointOfInterest (aka .pointOfInterest) and the issue returned. It seems Apple made a change on their backend recently such that pointOfInterestFilter now overrides resultTypes.

Hardware: • Mac Studio (M1 Ultra) • Apple Silicon • Sufficient free disk space (~35GB+ available) • SIP enabled • 4 local Time Machine snapshots present Current System: • Already running macOS Tahoe beta • Attempting upgrade to macOS Tahoe 26.4 Beta (Build 25E5207k) Primary Issue: Software Update downloads successfully, then moves to “Preparing…”. It stalls at “About 5 minutes remaining” for ~10–15 minutes and fails with: “Failed to prepare the software update. Please try again. An error occurred while downloading the selected updates.” The error appears network-related, but download always completes. Observed Behaviour: • “Checking for Updates” completes in <3 minutes. • softwareupdated and mobileassetd CPU usage <1%. • softwareupdate --history shows no record of the failed beta install. • No excessive system load or obvious disk pressure. Steps Already Attempted: 1. Standard Software Update retries • Multiple download/retry cycles from System Settings. • Same Preparing failure every time. 2. Permissions / Disk Access • Granted Terminal Full Disk Access. • SIP remains enabled. • Some system-protected locations still return “Operation not permitted”. 3. Cache / State Cleanup Attempts • Removed /Library/Updates/*. • Cleared temporary softwareupdate folders under /private/var/tmp. • Attempted MobileAsset cache cleanup where permitted. • Killed softwareupdated and mobileassetd processes (auto-restarted by launchd). 4. Beta Channel Reset • Turned Beta Updates OFF in System Settings. • Rebooted. • Re-enabled Beta Updates. • Forced catalog refresh via softwareupdate -l. 5. Snapshot Check • tmutil listlocalsnapshots / shows only 4 snapshots (normal range). 6. Full Installer Workaround softwareupdate --list-full-installers shows: • macOS Tahoe Beta 26.4 (25E5207k) • Tahoe 26.3 / 26.2 / 26.1 • Sequoia / Sonoma / Ventura / Monterey installers Downloaded installer via: softwareupdate –fetch-full-installer –full-installer-version 26.4 Installer downloaded correctly: /Applications/Install macOS Tahoe Beta.app 7. startosinstall Method (Apple Silicon optimized) Attempted install with: sudo “/Applications/Install macOS Tahoe Beta.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall” –user –agreetolicense –nointeraction –forcequitapps –rebootdelay 30 –passprompt Authorization succeeds, installer begins preparing, but installation still ultimately fails. Additional Notes: • CPU usage remains low during failure. • No excessive snapshot count. • Error messaging consistently references download/network even though download completes. • Issue appears to occur during cryptex/asset preparation phase rather than initial download. Question for Apple / other developers: Has anyone else seen Tahoe 26.4 beta fail specifically during the Preparing phase on Apple Silicon (especially Ultra-class chips)? Looking for confirmation whether this is a known MobileAsset or cryptex staging issue, or if logs indicate a deeper APFS / volume-owner authorization problem.

Hello, I’m experiencing a severe performance degradation when running CoreML models on a live AVFoundation video feed compared to offline or synthetic inference. This happens across multiple models I've converted (including SCI, RTMPose, and RTMW) and affects multiple devices. The Environment OS: macOS 26.3, iOS 26.3, iPadOS 26.3 Hardware: Mac14,6 (M2 Max), iPad Pro 11 M1, iPhone 13 mini Compute Units: cpuAndNeuralEngine The Numbers When testing my SCI_output_image_int8.mlpackage model, the inference timings are drastically different: Synthetic/Offline Inference: ~1.34 ms Live Camera Inference: ~15.96 ms Preprocessing is completely ruled out as the bottleneck. My profiling shows total preprocessing (nearest-neighbor resize + feature provider creation) takes only ~0.4 ms in camera mode. Furthermore, no frames are being dropped. What I've Tried I am building a latency-critical app and have implemented almost every recommended optimization to try and fix this, but the camera-feed penalty remains: Matched the AVFoundation camera output format exactly to the model input (640x480 at 30/60fps). Used IOSurface-backed pixel buffers for everything (camera output, synthetic buffer, and resize buffer). Enabled outputBackings. Loaded the model once and reused it for all predictions. Configured MLModelConfiguration with reshapeFrequency = .frequent and specializationStrategy = .fastPrediction. Wrapped inference in ProcessInfo.processInfo.beginActivity(options: .latencyCritical, reason: "CoreML_Inference"). Set DispatchQueue to qos: .userInteractive. Disabled the idle timer and enabled iOS Game Mode. Exported models using coremltools 9.0 (deployment target iOS 26) with ImageType inputs/outputs and INT8 quantization. Reproduction To completely rule out UI or rendering overhead, I wrote a standalone Swift CLI script that isolates the AVFoundation and CoreML pipeline. The script clearly demonstrates the ~15ms latency on live camera frames versus the ~1ms latency on synthetic buffers. (I have attached camera_coreml_benchmark.swift and coreml model (very light low light enghancement model) to this repo on github https://github.com/pzoltowski/apple-coreml-camera-latency-repro). My Question: Is this massive overhead expected behavior for AVFoundation + Core ML on live feeds, or is this a framework/runtime bug? If expected, what is the Apple-recommended pattern to bypass this camera-only inference slowdown? One think found interesting when running in debug model was faster (not as fast as in performance benchmark but faster than 16ms. Also somehow if I did some dummy calculation on on different DispatchQueue also seems like model got slightly faster. So maybe its related to ANE Power State issues (Jitter/SoC Wake) and going to fast to sleep and taking a long time to wakeup? Doing dummy calculation in background thought is probably not a solution. Thanks in advance for any insights!
