Hello, in the sample code found in the Apple CardSession documentation, there are commented line in the APDU respond method: case .received(let cardAPDU): do { /// Call handler to process received input and produce a response. let responseAPDU = ProcessAPDU(cardAPDU.payload) try await cardAPDU.respond(response: responseAPDU) } catch { /// Handle the error from respond(response:). If the error is /// CardSession.Error.transmissionError, then retry by calling /// CardSession.APDU.respond(response:) again. } in the catch part, it says that we should handle the error from respond and retry in case of transmission error, how can we achieve that ? How can we check the error ? Could you give a sample code for that ? best regards

I have Windows drives on my Mac but I didn't get the Wellness boot Campdrivers how can I install them

Hello is there a way to only allow credit card that is from a certain country to access in-app subscription in my app? Lets say I will only allow credit card from Singapore. I don't think its possible with In-App purchase but my colleague wanted to know and I just wanted to double check here.

I have a very simple CoreData model that has 1 entity and 2 attributes. This code works fine: .onChange(of: searchText) { _, text in evnts.nsPredicate = text.isEmpty ? nil :NSPredicate(format: "eventName CONTAINS %@ " , text ) but I'd like to also search with the same text string for my second attribute (which is a Date). I believe an OR is appropriate for two conditions (find either one). See attempted code below: evnts.nsPredicate = text.isEmpty ? nil : NSPredicate(format: "(eventName CONTAINS %@) OR (dueDate CONTAINS %i) " , text ) This crashes immediately %@ does the same. Is there a way to accomplish this? How is SwiftUI not an option below?

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.

According to my experiments SwiftData does not work with model attributes of primitive type UInt64. More precisely, it crashes in the getter of a UInt64 attribute invoked on an object fetched from the data store. With Core Data persistent UInt64 attributes are not a problem. Does anyone know whether SwiftData will ever support UInt64?

Howdy! I'm in the R&D phase of this project and I need help. I can't find any sources that verify what I want to do is even possible. I need to connect an iPhone or iPad using a USB cord to an external device which will transfer files to the iPhone or iPad. I have an app already made which can organize the files and whatever else I need to do (app is from a similar project). I'll refer to this device as Alfred (for poops and giggles) The plan (if possible) is for Alfred to recognize my app and use its documents folder as the destination of the transfer. The iDevice doesn't have to communicate with Alfred, but that would be a bonus. I don't want Alfred to run on an SOC. My goal is to have it be as simple as possible. No OS, just firmware. If the only way to interact with Apple Devices is Bluetooth or Wifi than so be it. If Matter or Thread could be utilized I wouldn't be apposed. Any help with this project would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

In my app I need to have access to the users desktop, and I would like to implement the standard dialogue for the user to give permission for this access at launch. I do not want to use the NSOpenPanel() for the user to select the desktop, as I dont think that is an elegant solution. However I am having issues implementing this. I use the following code to be granted access to the Desktop URL: let accessGranted = desktopURL.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() However no dialogue box appears and the call returns false I have also included "Desktop Usage Description" in my plist. Here is my code @State var message:String = "Good Luck!" var body: some View { VStack { Button("Get Desktop files") { accessDesktopWithPermission() } Text(message) } .padding() } //: –—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–—–— :// func accessDesktopWithPermission(){ guard let desktopURL = getDesktopURL() else{ return } let accessGranted = desktopURL.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() if accessGranted{ if let content = try? FileManager.default.contentsOfDirectory(at: desktopURL, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil ){ message = "Found \(content.count) on Desktop" } else{ message = "issue loading file from desktop" } } else{ message = "Access denied to:\(desktopURL )" } } obviously I have setup something incorrectly so I have also attached my code if anyone is interested to take a look.

Hi all, I have a simple prototype subscription for a recurring monthly for $0.29 cheap! And it works great! But it only works great at sub time. It's stuck in the sandbox, constantly giving me "currently subscribed" status even though I’ve done a bunch of things: Force-quit the app. Deleted and re-installed it. Rebooted my phone. Signed out of media purchases. Looked on AppStore connect to try to find anything that seems like it’d let me fix this All efforts in vain. I'm trying to avoid fully logging out of my iCloud account on my phone. Any other thoughts?

I am writing to seek clarification on two technical issues related to iOS frameworks (CoreBluetooth and NetworkExtension). These observations are critical for optimizing our app's performance, and I would appreciate any official guidance or documentation references. CoreBluetooth Scanning Frequency and Cycle 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]) NEHotspotConfigurationManager Workflow and Latency Issue: Using NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared.apply(_:) to connect to Wi-Fi occasionally takes up to 8 seconds to complete. Questions: What is the internal workflow of the apply method? Does it include user permission checks, SSID scanning, authentication, or IP assignment steps? Are there known scenarios where this method would block for extended periods (e.g., waiting for user interaction, network timeouts)? Is the latency related to system-level retries or radio coexistence with other wireless activities (e.g., Bluetooth)? Test Context: Configuration: NEHotspotConfiguration(ssid: "TestSSID") Behavior: Delay occurs even when the Wi-Fi network is in range and credentials are correct.

I am developing an App based on Network Extension that lets all network requests on device access the Internet through a private Relay. I created an empty iOS App and only the entitlements file and ViewController.swift(Main.storyboard) file have been modified. The code was copied from the official video https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2023/10002/ But, running the App on iPhone, the saveToPreferences API reported Error Domain=NERelayErrorDomain Code=3 "(null)" and the App doesn't look like it's changed at all (it doesn't jump to the Settings - VPN&Relay). Does anyone know why？Any reply would be greatly appreciated. The contents of the entitlements file: <?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>relay</string> </array> </dict> </plist> ViewController.swift: import UIKit import NetworkExtension class ViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() // Do any additional setup after loading the view. } @IBAction func tap(_ sender: Any) { let newRelay = NERelay() let relayURL = URL(string: "https://relay.example.com:443/") newRelay.http3RelayURL = relayURL newRelay.http2RelayURL = relayURL newRelay.additionalHTTPHeaderFields = ["Authorization" : "PrivateToken=123"] let manager = NERelayManager.shared() manager.relays = [newRelay] manager.matchDomains = ["internal.example.com"] manager.isEnabled = false manager.saveToPreferences { err in print(err) } } }

I have a question regarding /etc/pf.conf. If I use this rule, rdr pass on bridge100 inet proto tcp from 192.168.2.104 to any port {80, 443, 8883} -> 127.0.0.1 port 8080 all other traffic on bridge100 will not function properly, even the traffic that is not destined for 192.168.2.104. Additionally, the hotspot generated through bridge100 will also become unavailable. Even if I comment out this rule and run sudo pfctl -e -f /etc/pf.conf, the problem still persists. The situation will only return to normal when I restart my Mac. my macos:15.3.2 my /etc/pf.conf # scrub-anchor "com.apple/*" nat-anchor "com.apple/*" rdr-anchor "com.apple/*" rdr pass on bridge100 inet proto tcp from 192.168.2.104 to any port {80, 443, 8883} -> 127.0.0.1 port 8080 dummynet-anchor "com.apple/*" anchor "com.apple/*" load anchor "com.apple" from "/etc/pf.anchors/com.apple"

Hi there, I'm trying to build a MacOS VPN application from scratch. My VPN application is slightly from normal ones, It will include an authentication token and underlying process information (pid, application path etc.) in each connection made to the VPN gateway. Consider it a poor man's zerotrust implementation. NetworkExtension and PacketTunnel is a must, thus to retrieve process information via audit tokens. However, I'm unable to find any working examples that can be built on MacOS 15.X. I tried to open an TSI case but didn't receive anything useful. Anyone?

I am working on a macos application that uses NetworkExtension and works fine in the debug environment. However, when I use the Release package, I am always prompted that my description file does not contain NetworkExtension. I am sure that my description file does contain NetworkExtension.

Hi. I'm trying to learn macOS app development. i'm trying to run unix commands: func execute(_ command: String) throws -&gt; String { let process = Process() let pipe = Pipe() process.executableURL = URL(fileURLWithPath: "/bin/bash") process.arguments = ["-c", command] process.standardOutput = pipe // process.standardError try process.run() process.waitUntilExit() guard let data = try pipe.fileHandleForReading.readToEnd() else { throw CommandError.readError } guard let output = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) else { throw CommandError.invalidData } process.waitUntilExit() guard process.terminationStatus == 0 else { throw CommandError.commandFailed(output) } return output } when try to run "pgrep" in sandbox mode ON, i get: sysmon request failed with error: sysmond service not found error. if i turn it off it works. i don't know what to do. anyone can help me out?

Can be reproduced with a shared iPad setup (https://support.apple.com/de-de/guide/deployment/dep9a34c2ba2/web) and the example app provided by Apple (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/fileprovider/synchronizing-files-using-file-provider-extensions). The issue is that when using the File Provider extension implemented with 'NSFileProviderReplicatedExtension', the content of the share does not display in the iPadOS Files app. The 'NSFileProviderEnumerating.enumerator' function is invoked, but none of the functions of the returned 'NSFileProviderEnumerator' are executed: neither 'currentSyncAnchor', 'enumerateChanges', nor 'enumerateItems'. Instead, the 'NSFileProviderEnumerator' is immediately invalidated. This issue can be reproduced with iPadOS 18.3 and a shared iPad setup. Maybe i missing some additional steps/ settings in my extension to work properly on Shared iPads. Created also a post on the feedbackassistent: FB16587660 (NSFileProviderReplicatedExtension does not work in Shared iPad setup) Steps to reproduce: iPad with a Shared iPad profile Enroll the iPad and log in as a Guest user Turn on developer mode Install the example app from Apple (as mentioned above) Add some test files to the FruitBasket storage Add this FruitBasket domain to the FruitBasket-iOS app You may need to provide "Privacy - Local Network Usage Description" in the Info.plist of the FruitBasket-iOS example app to be able to find local FruitBasket storage. Check in the Files app to see that the FruitBasket share is empty -> The expected behavior is that the FruitBasket share should contain the test files added previously. (This works fine without a shared iPad setup).

What is the version policy for the Apple Pay SDK Javascript ? The documentation refers to this link : https://applepay.cdn-apple.com/jsapi/1.latest/apple-pay-sdk.js The future updates will overrride the file on that link ? Is there a way to be notified of any changes ? We are using a previous version named v1 : https://applepay.cdn-apple.com/jsapi/v1/apple-pay-sdk.js What are the risks not using changing to the lastesdt link ? Thank you for your help.
