Overview

Updated version of this post My HomePod mini is now on version 16.4, so the the temperature and humidity sensors are enabled. The data properly shows up in the Home app on my various devices. In my HomeKit iPad app running on Mac Catalyst, however, the data does not show up. I would expect the HomePod mini to show up in HMHome.accessories with a service of type HMServiceTypeTempatureSensor. I see all of my other HomeKit accessories, just not the HomePod mini. I have tried with the latest Xcode (14.3) and highest available iOS Target and Minimum Deployment (16.4), macOS version 13.3. I have not, as of this writing, upgraded my HomeKit architecture, however. Note that I haven't tried the app on an actual iPad (and the iOS simulator doesn't expose my HomeKit environment.)

I've followed the setup process to get Apple Hosted Background Assets configured for my project. (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/backgroundassets/downloading-apple-hosted-asset-packs) But when I build and run the app I get the following error... BackgroundAssets/AssetPackManager.swift:174: Fatal error: The process lacks a team ID. I've checked the Signing->Team for both targets and they both have my Team associated. Any help or advice would be appreciated...

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.

MacOS(Apple Silicon) IOKit driver for FPGA DMA transmission, kernel panic. Hardware and software configuration: MAC mini M1 2020 16GB, macOS Ventura 13.0 or 13.7.8 FPGA device capability: 64-bit Complete description: We've developed a DMA driver for PCIe devices (FPGA) based on IOKit.

I have tried the following code interface: IOBufferMemoryDescriptor： a. withCapacity(bufferSize, kIODirectionInOut, true)； b. inTaskWithPhysicalMask(kernel_task, kIODirectionInOut, bufferSize, 0x00000000FFFFFFFFULL)。 The physical addresses of the constructed descriptors are all >32 bits; IODMACommand： a. withSpecification(kIODMACommandOutputHost64, 64, 0, IODMACommand::kMapped, 0, 0)，gen64IOVMSegments() The allocated IOVM address must be>32 bits, which will generate a kernel panic when used later. b.withSpecification(kIODMACommandOutputHost32, 32, 0, IODMACommand::kMapped, 0, 0)，gen32IOVMSegments() The allocation of IOVM failed with error code kIOReturnenMessageTooLarge. So after the above attempts, the analysis shows that the strategy of Dart+PCIe root port on macOS (Apple Silicon) is causing the failure of 64 bit DMA address transfer. I have two questions: a. Does Dart in macOS (Apple Silicon) definitely not allocate <=32-bit IOVM addresses? b. Is there any other way to achieve DMA transfer for FGPA devices on macOS (Apple Silicon)? Thanks！

I'm on macOS Sequoia Version 15.7.3 (24G419) and using Xcode Version 26.2 (17C52). In my Xcode project, Transaction.updates and Product.SubscriptionInfo.Status.updates don’t seem to emit updates reliably. The code below works consistently in a fresh Xcode project using a minimal setup with a local StoreKit Configuration file containing a single auto-renewable subscription. class InAppPurchaseManager { static let shared = InAppPurchaseManager() var transactionTask: Task<Void, Never>? var subscriptionTask: Task<Void, Never>? init() { print("Launched InAppPurchaseManager...") transactionTask = Task(priority: .background) { for await result in Transaction.updates { print("\nReceived transaction update...") try? await result.payloadValue.finish() } } subscriptionTask = Task(priority: .background) { for await result in Product.SubscriptionInfo.Status.updates { print("\nReceived subscription update...") print("state:", result.state.localizedDescription) } } } } I initialise it in: func applicationDidFinishLaunching(_ aNotification: Notification) { _ = InAppPurchaseManager.shared } I do not build any UI for this test. I open StoreKit Transaction Manager then click Create Transaction → select the product → choose Purchase (Default) → Next → Done. The console shows that it detects the initial purchase, renewals and finishes each transaction. It also works even if I do not add the In-App Purchase capability. In my actual project, the initial purchase is detected and finished, but renewals are not detected. Subsequent transactions then appear as unverified, presumably because the updates are not being observed so the transactions are not being finished. What can I do to make this work reliably in my actual project? For context, in the actual project: I have a StoreKit Configuration file that is synced with App Store Connect The In-App Purchase capability is enabled The configuration file is selected in the scheme The products in App Store Connect show “Ready to Submit” Loading products works: try await Product.products(for: ...) Also, I use ProductView for the purchase UI. The first purchase works and is detected and finished, but subsequent renewals are not finished because the updates do not seem to be emitted.

I'm experiencing a contradictory validation issue with DeviceActivityReportExtension that creates an impossible situation: The Problem: Without NSExtensionPrincipalClass in Info.plist → App Store Connect rejects upload with: "Missing Info.plist values. No values for NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass found" With NSExtensionPrincipalClass → Local install fails with: "defines either an NSExtensionMainStoryboard or NSExtensionPrincipalClass key, which is not allowed for the extension point com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension" Setup: Extension point: com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension Using SwiftUI with @main attribute and DeviceActivityReportExtension protocol Xcode 16.2, iOS 17.6 deployment target Code structure: @main struct SpoolReport: DeviceActivityReportExtension { var body: some DeviceActivityReportScene { // Report scenes here } } The extension builds and runs perfectly without NSExtensionPrincipalClass, but cannot be uploaded to App Store Connect. Adding the key allows upload but breaks local installation. Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround or correct Info.plist configuration for DeviceActivityReportExtension? Thank you!

For testing permission response we can use the sandbox account However, when testing permission requests using the AskCenter API, none of the ask API works for me in xcode 26.2 rc and iOS 26.2 rc. For SignificantAppUpdateTopic, I got errors like "The user is in a region that does not support this type of ask" in the console log, but I've already set my billing address to Texas. For CommunicationTopic, the console shows several XPC-related errors, and I’m not sure which of them are relevant. Both of them show an alert view of "Can't ask, An unknown error occurred" Can someone help to guide us how to test the request flow? Thanks

When I create a SwiftUI toolbar item with placement of .keyboard on iOS 26, the item appears directly on top of and in contact with the keyboard. This does not look good visually nor does it match the behavior seen in Apple's apps, such as Reminders. Adding padding to the contents of the toolbar item only expands the size of the item but does not separate the capsule background of the item from the keyboard. How can I add vertical padding or spacing to separate the toolbar item capsule from the keyboard?

QuickLookAR shares the actual USDZ model instead of the original website URL — critical copyright and data leak issue on iOS 26 Since iOS 26, QuickLookAR (or ARQuickLookPreviewItem) no longer preserves the original web URL when sharing a model. Instead of sending the link to the hosted file, the system directly shares the actual USDZ model file with the recipient. This is a critical regression and a severe breach of intellectual property protection, as it exposes proprietary 3D models that must never be distributed outside of the controlled web environment. In earlier iOS versions (tested up to iOS 18), QuickLookAR correctly handled sharing — the share sheet would send the website link where the model is hosted, not the file itself. Starting with iOS 26, this behavior has changed and completely breaks the intended secure flow for AR experiences. Our project relies on allowing users to view models in AR via QuickLook, without ever transferring the underlying 3D assets. Now, the share operation forces full file sharing, giving end users unrestricted access to the model file, which can be copied, rehosted, or reverse-engineered. This issue critically affects production environments and prevents us from deploying our AR-based solutions. Implement a standard QuickLookAR preview with a USDZ file hosted on your web server (e.g., via ARQuickLookPreviewItem). 2. Open the AR view on iOS 26. 3. Tap the Share icon from QuickLookAR. 4. Send via any messenger (Telegram, WhatsApp, etc.). 5. Observe that the actual .usdz model is sent instead of the original website URL. ⸻ Expected behavior: QuickLookAR should share only the original URL (as in iOS 17–18), not the file itself. This ensures that intellectual property and licensed 3D models remain protected and controlled by the content owner. ⸻ Actual behavior: QuickLookAR shares the entire USDZ file, leaking the model content outside of the intended environment. ⸻ Impact: • Violation of copyright and confidential data policies • Loss of control over proprietary 3D assets • Breaking change for all existing web-based AR integrations • Critical blocker for AR production deployment ⸻ Environment: • iOS 26.0 and 26.1 (tested on iPhone 14, iPhone 15) • Safari + QuickLookAR integration • Works correctly on iOS 17 / iOS 18 ⸻ Notes: This regression appears to have been introduced in the latest iOS 26 system handling of QuickLookAR sharing. Please escalate this issue to the ARKit / QuickLook engineering team as it directly affects compliance, IP protection, and usability of AR features across production applications. Additional Notes / Verification: Please test this behavior yourself using the CheckAR test model on my website: https://admixreality.com/ios26/ • If the login page appears, click “Check AR” and then “View in Your Space”. • On iOS 18 and earlier, sharing correctly sends the website URL. • On iOS 26, sharing sends the actual USDZ model file. This clearly demonstrates the regression and the security/IP issue.

I am trying to Build server for testing on Linux(Alma linux 9 VM) NAME="AlmaLinux" VERSION="9.7 (Moss Jungle Cat)" ID="almalinux" ID_LIKE="rhel centos fedora" VERSION_ID="9.7" PLATFORM_ID="platform:el9" PRETTY_NAME="AlmaLinux 9.7 (Moss Jungle Cat)" ANSI_COLOR="0;34" [azuki@AlmaDevVM ~]$ uname -m x86_64 I have tried the following steps: Before starting, ensured that Swift 6 installed. Referred https://www.swift.org/install/ for instructions. Build the library In Terminal, uses the following commands to compile the Swift library: cd Development/Key_Server_Module/Swift swift build -Xbuild-tools-swiftc -DTEST_CREDENTIALS After building the library, ran test cases to ensure the library behaves as expected. ALL unit tests are passing with the development credentials. • Since I was using an x86_64 machine: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=./Sources/prebuilt/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/ Run all tests: swift test -Xbuild-tools-swiftc -DTEST_CREDENTIALS --disable-swift-testing Build the server Build the server: Apache Before starting, ensured the following: a. Installed Apache HTTPD and the dev tools. Using the following command for installation: yum install httpd httpd-devel redhat-rpm-config b. After this, integrated it into the Apache server environment with swift library that was built above. Used the following command to build the server using apxs: • Since I was using an x86_64 machine: apxs -i -a -c -Wl,-L${PWD}/.build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/debug/ -Wl,-lswift_fpssdk -Wl,-L${PWD}/Sources/prebuilt/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu -lfpscrypto -Wl,-R${PWD}/.build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/debug server_setup/mod_fps.c c.

When you use .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "placeholder", in: placehoder)) for navigation animation, going back using the swipe gesture is still very buggy on IOS26. I know it has been mentioned in other places like here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/796805?answerId=856846022#856846022 but nothing seems to have been done to fix this issue. Here is a video showing the bug comparing when the back button is used vs swipe to go back: https://imgur.com/a/JgEusRH I wish there was a way to at least disable the swipe back gesture until this bug is fixed.

I’m currently developing an application using WKWebView. After updating to iOS 26.2 Developer Beta, the following Web API started returning false: isUserVerifyingPlatformAuthenticatorAvailable MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/ja/docs/Web/API/PublicKeyCredential/isUserVerifyingPlatformAuthenticatorAvailable_static This issue did not occur on iOS 26.1 — it only happens on the beta version. Has anyone else encountered this problem or is aware of any related changes? OS: iOS 26.2 beta 3 (23C5044b)

Hey, I am just about to prepare my app for Swift 6, and facing the issue that UserDefaults is not Sendable. The documentation states that its thread safe, so I am wondering, why is it not marked as Sendable? Was it just forgotten? Is it safe to mark it as nonisolated(unsafe) or @unchecked Sendable?

I've spent a few months writing an app that uses SwiftData with inheritance. Everything worked well until I tried adding CloudKit support. To do so, I had to make all relationships optional, which exposed what appears to be a bug. Note that this isn't a CloudKit issue -- it happens even when CloudKit is disabled -- but it's due to the requirement for optional relationships. In the code below, I get the following error on the second call to modelContext.save() when the button is clicked: Could not cast value of type 'SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier' (0x1ef510b68) to 'SimplePersistenceIdentifierTest.Computer' (0x1025884e0). I was surprised to find zero hit when Googling "Could not cast value of type 'SwiftData.PersistentIdentifier'". Some things to note: Calling teacher.computers?.append(computer) instead of computer.teacher = teacher results in the same error. It only happens when Teacher inherits Person. It only happens if modelContext.save() is called both times. It works if the first modelContext.save() is commented out. If the second modelContext.save()is commented out, the error occurs the second time the model context is saved (whether explicitly or implicitly). Keep in mind this is a super simple repro written to generate on demand the error I'm seeing in a normal app. In my app, modelContext.save() must be called in some places to update the UI immediately, sometimes resulting in the error seconds later when the model context is saved automatically. Not calling modelContext.save() doesn't appear to be an option. To be sure, I'm new to this ecosystem so I'd be thrilled if I've missed something obvious! Any thoughts are appreciated. import Foundation import SwiftData import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @Environment(\.modelContext) var modelContext var body: some View { VStack { Button("Do it") { let teacher = Teacher() let computer = Computer() modelContext.insert(teacher) modelContext.insert(computer) try! modelContext.save() computer.teacher = teacher try! modelContext.save() } } } } @Model class Computer { @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify) var teacher: Teacher? init() {} } @Model class Person { init() {} } @available(iOS 26.0, macOS 26.0, *) @Model class Teacher: Person { @Relationship(deleteRule: .nullify, inverse: \Computer.teacher) public var computers: [Computer]? = [] override init() { super.init() } }

I applied for the Apple Developer Program on Jan 29th, but my enrollment is still pending with no updates. This delay is really affecting my project timeline since I need to start my app soon, and I can’t move forward without my account being approved. I’ve already reached out to Apple Developer Support, but I haven’t gotten any clear response on when it will be completed. tried even calling the support line but they couldn't help with developer accounts. Has anyone else experienced similar delays? If so, how long did it take for your account to get approved? Would appreciate any advice or insights! Thanks in advance.

I have the following view hierarchy in my app: [UINavigationController] -> [MainViewController] -> [MyTabBarController] -> [DashboardViewController] In my MainViewController I have a button that pushes the MyTabBarController onto the navigation controllers stack. In the tab bar controller I only have one tab in this example showing the DashboardViewController. That all works fine, and when I tap the back button on MyTabBarController, everything works fine and the MainViewController is shown again. The UI works exactly how I want it, but when I load up the 'Debug Memory Graph' view, I can see that my DashboardViewController is still in memory and it seems the UITab has a reference to it. The MyTabBarController is NOT in memory anymore. MyTabBarController is very simple: class MyTabBarController: UITabBarController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() self.mode = .tabSidebar var allTabs:[UITab] = [] let mainTab = UITab(title: "Dashboard", image: UIImage(systemName: "chart.pie"), identifier: "dashboard", viewControllerProvider: { _ in return UINavigationController(rootViewController: DashboardViewController()) }) allTabs.append(mainTab) setTabs(allTabs, animated: false) } } And the DashboardViewController is empty: class DashboardViewController: UIViewController { } The only reason I created as a seperate class in this example is so I can easily see if it's visible in the memory debug view. I have uploaded the simple sample app to GitHub: https://github.com/fwaddle/TabbarMemoryLeakCheck Anyone have any suggestions? Here is a screen grab of the memory debug view showing the UITab having a reference to the DashboardViewController even though MyTabBarController has been dealloc'd:

Hi all, I’m an Admin user in an Apple Developer Program (Organization) team, but I’m unable to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles (CIP) on developer.apple.com. I’d like to understand what permission is missing and where it should be enabled. Context Program type: Apple Developer Program (Organization) My role in App Store Connect: Admin I can access App Store Connect normally, but CIP resources on developer.apple.com are blocked. The Account Holder can access CIP normally. What I see (Problem) In the Apple Developer portal → Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, I get: “Access Unavailable — You currently don't have access to this membership resource. Contact your team's Account Holder or an Admin.” In Xcode → Settings → Accounts → Team, the “Certificates, Identifiers, & Profiles” section shows a red error indicator and doesn’t load. Only my account is affected; the Account Holder is not. What we’ve tried / confirmed Membership is active (renewal date is valid) Signed out/in of Xcode and re-added my Apple ID Confirmed selecting the correct Organization team in Xcode / Developer portal Account Holder confirmed they can access CIP Questions For an Organization team, what exact permission(s) are required for a member to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles? Where is this access controlled — App Store Connect → Users and Access vs developer.apple.com → People? If Admin in App Store Connect is not sufficient, what additional role/setting is needed to grant CIP access?

Hi, I have been recently debugging the BGContinuedProcessingTask API and encountered some of the following issues. I hope you can provide some answers: First, let me explain my understanding of this API. I believe its purpose is to allow an app to trigger tasks that can be represented with progress indicators and require a certain amount of time to complete. After entering the background, these tasks can continue to be completed through the BGContinuedProcessingTask, preventing the system from terminating them before they are finished. In the launchHandler of the registration process, we only need to do a few things: Determine whether the actual business processing is still ongoing. Update the progress, title, and subtitle. Handle the expirationHandler. Set the task as completed. Here are some issues I encountered during my debugging process: After I called register and submit, the BGContinuedProcessingTask could not be triggered. The return values from my API calls were all normal. I tried different device models, and some could trigger the task normally, such as the 15 Pro Max and 12 Pro Max. However, there were also some models, such as the 17 Pro, 15 Pro, and 15, that could not trigger the task properly. Moreover, there was no additional error information to help locate the issue. The background task failed unexpectedly, but my app was still running normally. As I mentioned above, my launchHandler only retrieves the actual business status and updates it. If a background task fails unexpectedly while the app is still running normally, it can mislead users and degrade the user experience of the app. Others have also mentioned the issue of inconsistent behavior on devices that do not support Dynamic Island. On devices that support Dynamic Island, when a task is triggered in the foreground, the app does not immediately display a pop-up notification within the app. However, on devices that do not support Dynamic Island, the app directly displays a pop-up notification within the app, and this notification does not disappear when switching between different screens within the same app. The user needs to actively swipe up to dismiss it. I think this experience is too intrusive for users. I would like to know whether this will be maintained in the future or if there is a plan to fix it. On devices that do not support Dynamic Island, using the beta version 26.1 of the system, if the system is in dark mode but the app triggers a business interface in white, the pop-up notification will have the same color as the current page, making it difficult to read the content inside the pop-up. Users can actively stop background tasks by using the stop button, or the system can also stop tasks automatically when resources are insufficient or when a task is abnormal. However, according to the current API, all these actions are triggered through the expirationHandler. Currently, there is no way to distinguish whether the task was stopped by the user, by the system due to resource insufficiency, or due to an abnormal task. I would like to know whether there will be more information provided in the future to help distinguish these different scenarios. I believe that the user experience issues mentioned in points 2 and 3 are the most important. Please help to answer the questions and concerns above. Thank you!

Hey all, I am a first time publisher navigating the App Review process. I want to publish a watchOS only app, but keep getting this feedback: Regarding 4.0, Apple Watch app icon's background color is still black. Based on our investigation, you have included plain black icons. To resolve this issue, it would be appropriate to modify your app's Apple Watch app icon to include a lighter background color to ensure that it is recognizable and appears circular on Apple Watch. I set the following configs: Project -> Targets -> Apple Watch App -> App Icons & Launch Screen -> App Icon set to my Icon Composer file. Checked App Icons Source. I was able to install my build through TestFlight and successfully install on my watch, and the App Icon displays properly there. I also saw a recent Reddit post from another developer facing the same issue. I can't link that post, but will share this post with the OP. I attached what the reviewer sent me with the rejection.
