While testing an inapp purchase, if you purchase the same product twice from an account that does not have testflight permissions for the project and only has sandbox permissions, the second payment will receive the same transactionId as the first.
Why is that so? I know transactionID is unique.
In my case, when two functions that start each Live Activity(not connected each other) are performed in LiveActivityIntent's perform(), it seems that only one will start.
(It's the same to start independently with two Task{})
And, set one to 'opensIntent' and separate it by opening another LiveActivityIntent, the result is same.
Also, every time I tap the Intent directly in the shortcut app, one activity will end within a matter of seconds, even if there are two for a while.
But, If openAppWhenRun to true, it seem to works without any problems.
I would appreciate it if you could give me a tip to fix this problem.
Issue:
We noticed inconsistent BLE device discovery times (ranging from 0.5s to 1.5s) despite the peripheral advertising at 2Hz (500ms interval).
Questions:
Does iOS regulate the BLE scan interval or duty cycle internally? If yes, what factors affect this behavior (e.g., foreground/background state, connected devices)? Are there recommended practices to reduce discovery latency for peripherals with fixed advertising intervals? Is there a way to configure scan parameters (e.g., scan window/interval) programmatically, similar to Android's BluetoothLeScanner?
Test Context:
Device: iPhone 13 mini (iOS 17.6.1)
Code: CBCentralManager.scanForPeripherals(withServices: nil, options: [CBCentralManagerScanOptionAllowDuplicatesKey: true])
We're having trouble with getting Siri to hand off specific trigger words to our app via shortcuts. I want to be able to say "Hey Siri Myappname Foobar" but in some cases if Foobar is the name of a specific business it may launch maps instead showing locations of those businesses. Is there any way to inform Siri, "no, *****, launch our app as the shortcut specifies!"
Hi,
We are using Firebase to configure APNs (Apple Push Notification Service) for sending push notifications. During local testing, the push notifications are received properly when the app is in the foreground or background. After TestFlight testing and passing review, we found that when the app is installed using the developer's Apple ID, push notifications are received correctly whether the app is in the foreground or background.
However, when the app is provided to other testers (using non-developer Apple IDs), notifications are only received when the app is in the foreground, and they are not triggered when the app is in the background or inactive state.
Request for Assistance:
Why, after TestFlight testing and passing review, does the app receive push notifications properly in the background when installed using the developer's Apple ID, but on other testers' devices, notifications are not received when the app is in the background?
Are there any differences in Apple ID types or device configurations (developer ID vs. regular tester ID) that could affect the behavior of push notifications in the background mode?
Do we need to apply any additional settings or permissions, particularly for handling background push notifications?
Are there any iOS version or device-specific limitations that could impact the proper delivery of background push notifications?
Additional Information:
The app is properly configured for APNs, and push notifications are being sent via Firebase.
In the developer's Apple ID test environment, the app receives push notifications properly whether it is in the foreground or background.
On other testers' devices, push notifications are only received when the app is in the foreground, and they are not received when the app is in the background.
All test devices have been verified to have notification permissions enabled, and Firebase configuration is correct.
I’ve created several shortcuts that tell me the stock price of a given company. The shortcut queries Yahoo Finance using Get Contents of URL, with the URL
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TICKER SYMBOL/, for example
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PLTR/ for Palantir or
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/ for Apple, etc.
Then it uses RegEx to parse out the numbers which it then formats and displays in a notification. Simple. It works great for several stocks, but for some reason, it does not work correctly for Palantir. It shows an older “previous close” price. Oddly, when I go to the website myself, it shows me the current stock price.
So for today Mar 21 https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PLTR/ shows me $90.96 (correct) but the shortcut, via Get Contents of URL, shows $87.39 (incorrect). This $87.39 price is listed further down in the page as a "previous close” price. I don’t get it.
Here is a link to my Palantir shortcut:
https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/edea6ee0261245f49b078efc74d632dd
Here is a link to my Apple shortcut:
https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/54a416393203432aa356fe76373e3f8b
So the question is, why does Get Contents of URL show an old stock price but when I go to the site myself, it shows the correct stock price … and only for Palantir? I have about six shortcuts running correctly. Palantir is the only one that does not work.
Been banging my head on this one for weeks. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Rob
So I'm wondering if Apple makes commission on those payments since they're made in the app. For example a user may pay another user to clean their car. This will be handled with Stripe Connect and their balance, payment history, etc will be displayed in the app.
Does Apple charge commission on that?
The section the app review guidelines that I'm refrencing is below, but I'm still a little confused.
3.1.3(e) Goods and Services Outside of the App: If your app enables people to purchase physical goods or services that will be consumed outside of the app, you must use purchase methods other than in-app purchase to collect those payments, such as Apple Pay or traditional credit card entry.

Hi Guys,
I am having an issue verifying a card when it is pending verification in the Apple Watch Wallet App and the iPhone Wallet.
When the user verifies the card in the wallets, they are redirected to verification in my APP. However, the problem is that I don't know which application is calling, whether it is the Apple Watch or the iPhone, because the URL sends me the same serialNumber from the PKPASS. It is impossible to know if the user wants to verify and activate the card on the watch or the iPhone.
Because I only receive the following information in the URL:
myapp://app-url?
passTypeldentifier=paymentpass.com.apple&action =verify&serialNumber=*****
The serialNumber is the same from the iPhone Wallet and the Watch Wallet.
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options:
[UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool
{
let source = options[.sourceApplication]
I try to retrieve the source, but it comes back null. It would be the only way to know the originating App.
Can someone help me solve this problem?

Hi,
To ensure the issue is not caused by an error within your app or web service request, please review the following documentation:
Wallet Passes
Wallet Developer Guide
If the resources above don’t help identify the cause of the error, please provide more information about your app or web services to get started. To prevent sending sensitive credentials in plain text, create a report in Feedback Assistant to share the details requested below. Additionally, if the error is something we need to investigate further, the appropriate engineering teams also have access to the same information and can communicate with you directly within Feedback Assistant for more information, as needed. Please follow the instructions below to submit your report.
For issues occurring with your native app or web service, perform the following steps:
Install the Wallet profile on your iOS or watchOS device.
Reproduce the issue and make a note of the timestamp when the issue occurred, while optionally capturing screenshots or video.
Gather a sysdiagnose on the same iOS or watchOS device.
Create a Feedback Assistant report with the following information:
The serial number of the device.
Open Settings > General > About > Serial Number (tap and hold to copy).
The SEID (Secure Element Identifier) of the device, represented as a HEX encoded string.
Open Settings > General > About > SEID (tap and hold to copy).
The sysdiagnose gathered after reproducing the issue.
The .pkpass file(s), pass signing certificate(s) and pass type identiifier(s) (optional).
The timestamp of when the issue was reproduced.
Screenshots or videos of errors and unexpected behaviors (optional).
Important: From the logs gathered above, you should be able to determine the cause of the failure from PassbookUIService, PassKit or PassKitCore, and by filtering for your SEID or pass type identifier in the Safari Web Inspector. See Inspecting Safari on macOS to learn more.
Submitting your feedback
Before you submit to Feedback Assistant, please confirm the requested information above is included in your feedback. Failure to provide the requested information will only delay my investigation into the reported issue within your Wallet pass implementation.
After your submission to Feedback Assistant is complete, please respond in your existing Developer Forums post with the Feedback ID. Once received, I can begin my investigation and determine if this issue is caused by an error within your web implementation, a configuration issue within your developer account, or an underlying system bug.
Cheers,

We have a user that has an active subscription according to the appstore in our product but it is registering as expired. Hitting the subscribe button in the SwiftUI SK2 dialog does nothing, meaning, nothing happens.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I am trying to get the elements from my SwiftData databse in the configuration for my widget.
The SwiftData model is the following one:
@Model
class CountdownEvent {
@Attribute(.unique) var id: UUID
var title: String
var date: Date
@Attribute(.externalStorage) var image: Data
init(id: UUID, title: String, date: Date, image: Data) {
self.id = id
self.title = title
self.date = date
self.image = image
}
}
And, so far, I have tried the following thing:
AppIntent.swift
struct ConfigurationAppIntent: WidgetConfigurationIntent {
static var title: LocalizedStringResource { "Configuration" }
static var description: IntentDescription { "This is an example widget." }
// An example configurable parameter.
@Parameter(title: "Countdown")
var countdown: CountdownEntity?
}
Countdowns.swift, this is the file with the widget view
struct Provider: AppIntentTimelineProvider {
func placeholder(in context: Context) -> SimpleEntry {
SimpleEntry(date: Date(), configuration: ConfigurationAppIntent())
}
func snapshot(for configuration: ConfigurationAppIntent, in context: Context) async -> SimpleEntry {
SimpleEntry(date: Date(), configuration: configuration)
}
func timeline(for configuration: ConfigurationAppIntent, in context: Context) async -> Timeline<SimpleEntry> {
var entries: [SimpleEntry] = []
// Generate a timeline consisting of five entries an hour apart, starting from the current date.
let currentDate = Date()
for hourOffset in 0 ..< 5 {
let entryDate = Calendar.current.date(byAdding: .hour, value: hourOffset, to: currentDate)!
let entry = SimpleEntry(date: entryDate, configuration: configuration)
entries.append(entry)
}
return Timeline(entries: entries, policy: .atEnd)
}
// func relevances() async -> WidgetRelevances<ConfigurationAppIntent> {
// // Generate a list containing the contexts this widget is relevant in.
// }
}
struct SimpleEntry: TimelineEntry {
let date: Date
let configuration: ConfigurationAppIntent
}
struct CountdownsEntryView : View {
var entry: Provider.Entry
var body: some View {
VStack {
Text("Time:")
Text(entry.date, style: .time)
Text("Title:")
Text(entry.configuration.countdown?.title ?? "Default")
}
}
}
struct Countdowns: Widget {
let kind: String = "Countdowns"
var body: some WidgetConfiguration {
AppIntentConfiguration(kind: kind, intent: ConfigurationAppIntent.self, provider: Provider()) { entry in
CountdownsEntryView(entry: entry)
.containerBackground(.fill.tertiary, for: .widget)
}
}
}
CountdownEntity.swift, the file for the AppEntity and EntityQuery structs
struct CountdownEntity: AppEntity, Identifiable {
var id: UUID
var title: String
var date: Date
var image: Data
var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation {
DisplayRepresentation(title: "\(title)")
}
static var defaultQuery = CountdownQuery()
static var typeDisplayRepresentation: TypeDisplayRepresentation = "Countdown"
init(id: UUID, title: String, date: Date, image: Data) {
self.id = id
self.title = title
self.date = date
self.image = image
}
init(id: UUID, title: String, date: Date) {
self.id = id
self.title = title
self.date = date
self.image = Data()
}
init(countdown: CountdownEvent) {
self.id = countdown.id
self.title = countdown.title
self.date = countdown.date
self.image = countdown.image
}
}
struct CountdownQuery: EntityQuery {
typealias Entity = CountdownEntity
static var typeDisplayRepresentation = TypeDisplayRepresentation(name: "Countdown Event")
static var defaultQuery = CountdownQuery()
@Environment(\.modelContext) private var modelContext // Warning here: Stored property '_modelContext' of 'Sendable'-conforming struct 'CountdownQuery' has non-sendable type 'Environment<ModelContext>'; this is an error in the Swift 6 language mode
func entities(for identifiers: [UUID]) async throws -> [CountdownEntity] {
let countdownEvents = getAllEvents(modelContext: modelContext)
return countdownEvents.map { event in
return CountdownEntity(id: event.id, title: event.title, date: event.date, image: event.image)
}
}
func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [CountdownEntity] {
// Return some suggested entities or an empty array
return []
}
}
CountdownsManager.swift, this one just has the function that gets the array of countdowns
func getAllEvents(modelContext: ModelContext) -> [CountdownEvent] {
let descriptor = FetchDescriptor<CountdownEvent>()
do {
let allEvents = try modelContext.fetch(descriptor)
return allEvents
}
catch {
print("Error fetching events: \(error)")
return []
}
}
I have installed it in my phone and when I try to edit the widget, it doesn't show me any of the elements I have created in the app, just a loading dropdown for half a second:

Hi everyone,
We’re integrating Apple Calendar (iCalendar) into our Codapet app but haven’t found any official Apple APIs for event management and synchronisation.
Currently, we use CalDAV with Apple ID authentication and an app-specific password (ASP), storing the ASP encrypted in our database and decrypting it for each API call. We’re looking for a more secure and recommended approach to this integration.
Does Apple provide dedicated APIs for calendar sync, or is there a better alternative to avoid sending the ASP with every request? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
I'm trying to run this example project: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/HealthKit/building-a-multidevice-workout-app
When I run it on my device (iPhone 16 Pro and Apple Watch Ultra 2)
I get this error:
-[SPRemoteInterface _appRecoverAnyExtendedRuntimeSession:]_block_invoke:4350: Got no sessions back from -[CSLSSessionService existingRunningSessions:] or -[CSLSSessionService existingScheduledSessions:] after receiving a PUICInitializeSessionServiceAction
I start the workout from my phone, which successfully starts the workout on the watch. But this callback is never triggered on the phone:
healthStore.workoutSessionMirroringStartHandler {
// not happening
}
This makes it difficult to learn the mirroring workout technique.
I'm using Xcode 16.3 and Mac OS 15.4.1.
Any help appreciated!
After the user initiates the subscription payment, the SDK returns an error type: user cancels. When the user initiates the payment again, Apple will deduct the payment twice and successfully deduct the previously cancelled SKU. This is a recent occurrence with a large amount of data, and the app has not been upgraded in any way. We need to seek help. Thank you

On Applepay's docs it talks about the ability to do "flexible" payments and scheduling for future purchases. We need to be able to make only a single approval of an Apple payment for multiple submissions later on. Think, deferred payments at an arbitrary schedule without presenting the ApplePay dialog each and every time.
The docs suggest that may be possible, but are maddeningly vague on how to do that. Is it possible or not? Can we store an approved merchant's token for example and leverage that for future transactions?
