Team-scoped keys introduce the ability to restrict your token authentication keys to either development or production environments. Topic-specific keys in addition to environment isolation allow you to associate each key with a specific Bundle ID streamlining key management. For detailed instructions on accessing these features, read our updated documentation on establishing a token-based connection to APNs.

There is no official documentation specifying the exact criteria for determining a CLVisit. For example, if a user starts at a target location, will the following method be called? func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didVisit visit: CLVisit) This did not work during my testing. It was only successfully triggered when starting from a distant location and arriving at the target point. It would be helpful to know the exact conditions, such as how long a user must stay at a location for it to be considered a visit. Are there any specific thresholds (e.g., minimum duration, distance moved) that determine when this method is triggered?

Hey everyone, I have an app using the screen time api, I've had quite a few reports from users saying that our monitoring features stop working until they open our app. What happens is that activities and schedules set with the device activity monitor seem to disappear. This is something we check on app re-opens and so we schedule them again and that is why the monitoring starts working again. Of course our current solution is not optimal since our app is mainly passive. Has anyone experienced these kinds of issue ?

I'm sitting at my house and trying to sign my test device out of my apple ID so I can sign into a Sandbox user, but now I have an hour to kill because of this terribly broken "security" feature that thinks it's in an unfamiliar location, despite being at the only location it's ever known. Looks like I'll just be disabling this feature all together. Especially as a device with Developer Mode enabled, which gets reset regularly, there should be additional options here. Come on!

I want to create a brush similar to a fountain pen, with a three-dimensional feel to the strokes and a distinct tip. Alternatively, is it possible to achieve this by modifying the configuration parameters of a fountain pen brush?

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: What am I missing here?

Hi, I have developed an app which has two in-app purchase subscriptions. During the test, the app can successfully get the status of the subscriptions. After it's released, I downloaded it from app store and subscribed it with my apple account. I found that in most cases, the app can identify that I have subscribed it and I can use its all functions. But yesterday, when I launched it again, it showed the warning that I haven't subscribed it. I checked my subscription in my account and the subscription status hasn't been changed, that is, I have subscribed it. And after one hour, I launched it again. This time the app identified that I have subscribed it. Why? The following is the code about listening to the subscription status. Is there any wrong about it? HomeView() .onAppear(){ Task { await getSubscriptionStatus() } } func getSubscriptionStatus() async { var storeProducts = [Product]() do { let productIds = ["6740017137","6740017138"] storeProducts = try await Product.products(for: productIds) } catch { print("Failed product request: \(error)") } guard let subscription1 = storeProducts.first?.subscription else { // Not a subscription return } do { let statuses = try await subscription1.status for status in statuses { let info = try checkVerified(status.renewalInfo) switch status.state { case .subscribed: if info.willAutoRenew { purchaseStatus1 = true debugPrint("getSubscriptionStatus user subscription is active.") } else { purchaseStatus1 = false debugPrint("getSubscriptionStatus user subscription is expiring.") } case .inBillingRetryPeriod: debugPrint("getSubscriptionStatus user subscription is in billing retry period.") purchaseStatus1 = false case .inGracePeriod: debugPrint("getSubscriptionStatus user subscription is in grace period.") purchaseStatus1 = false case .expired: debugPrint("getSubscriptionStatus user subscription is expired.") purchaseStatus1 = false case .revoked: debugPrint("getSubscriptionStatus user subscription was revoked.") purchaseStatus1 = false default: fatalError("getSubscriptionStatus WARNING STATE NOT CONSIDERED.") } } } catch { // do nothing } guard let subscription2 = storeProducts.last?.subscription else { // Not a subscription return } do { let statuses = try await subscription2.status for status in statuses { let info = try checkVerified(status.renewalInfo) switch status.state { case .subscribed: if info.willAutoRenew { purchaseStatus2 = true debugPrint("getSubscriptionStatus user subscription is active.") } else { purchaseStatus2 = false debugPrint("getSubscriptionStatus user subscription is expiring.") } case .inBillingRetryPeriod: debugPrint("getSubscriptionStatus user subscription is in billing retry period.") purchaseStatus2 = false case .inGracePeriod: debugPrint("getSubscriptionStatus user subscription is in grace period.") purchaseStatus2 = false case .expired: debugPrint("getSubscriptionStatus user subscription is expired.") purchaseStatus2 = false case .revoked: debugPrint("getSubscriptionStatus user subscription was revoked.") purchaseStatus2 = false default: fatalError("getSubscriptionStatus WARNING STATE NOT CONSIDERED.") } } } catch { // do nothing } if purchaseStatus1 == true || purchaseStatus2 == true { purchaseStatus = true } else if purchaseStatus1 == false && purchaseStatus2 == false { purchaseStatus = false } return }

Hello, I am building a pretty large database (~40MB) to be used in my SwiftData iOS app as read-only. While inserting and updating the data, I noticed a substantial increase in size (+ ~10MB). A little digging pointed to ACHANGE and ATRANSACTION tables that apparently are dealing with Persistent History Tracking. While I do appreciate the benefits of that, I prefer to save space. Could you please point me in the right direction?

Hi, I want to offer an auto-renewable subscription (e.g., $1/month) that grants users (10 document analyses per month), with the count resetting at the start of each billing cycle. -Unused analyses will not roll over to the next month- Additionally, any analyses generated while the subscription is active will remain accessible to the user permanently, even if they cancel the subscription. The paywall, app description, and metadata will clearly state that the subscription grants (10 document analyses per month with no rollover) We want this to be implemented as an auto-renewable subscription model, not as a consumable service or a token/credit system (which we want to avoid). Is this model acceptable under Apple’s guidelines, or would it be considered a token/credit system? Any insights or alternative suggestions would be appreciated.. Thanks

What I want to achieve now is that when the app is not running, upon receiving a notification, it displays an interface similar to CallKit with accept and decline buttons. Here is part of my code: @available(iOS 17.4, *) class LiveCommunicationManager: NSObject, ConversationManagerDelegate { static let shared = LiveCommunicationManager() var isInvalidate:Bool = false var configuration: ConversationManager! override init() { let config = ConversationManager.Configuration( ringtoneName: "notes_of_the_optimistic", iconTemplateImageData: UIImage(named: "AppIcon")?.pngData(), // 图标的 PNG 数据 maximumConversationGroups: 1, // 最大对话组数 maximumConversationsPerConversationGroup: 1, // 每个对话组内最大对话数 includesConversationInRecents: false, // 是否在通话记录中显示 supportsVideo: false, // 是否支持视频 supportedHandleTypes: [.generic,.phoneNumber,.emailAddress] // 支持的通话类型 ) configuration = ConversationManager.init(configuration: config) } func reportIncomingCall(uuid: UUID, callerName: String) { configuration.delegate = self let local = Handle(type: .generic, value: callerName, displayName: callerName) let update = Conversation.Update(localMember: local,members: [local],activeRemoteMembers: [local]) Task{ do { try await configuration.reportNewIncomingConversation(uuid: uuid, update: update) print("成功报告新来电") } catch { print("报告新来电失败: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } } func conversationManager(_ manager: ConversationManager, conversationChanged conversation: Conversation) { print("会话状态改变了") } func conversationManagerDidBegin(_ manager: ConversationManager) { print("会话已经开始了") manager.delegate = self } func conversationManagerDidReset(_ manager: ConversationManager) { print("会话将要清除了") } func conversationManager(_ manager: ConversationManager, perform action: ConversationAction) { print("会话接听了") configuration.invalidate() } func conversationManager(_ manager: ConversationManager, timedOutPerforming action: ConversationAction) { print("会话超时了") } func conversationManager(_ manager: ConversationManager, didActivate audioSession: AVAudioSession) { print("会话激活了") } func conversationManager(_ manager: ConversationManager, didDeactivate audioSession: AVAudioSession) { print("会话死亡了") } } 在Appdelegate里设置了这些： func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable: Any], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -&gt; Void) { // 在这里处理离线推送通知 completionHandler(.noData) // 返回后台任务完成 if let aps = userInfo["aps"] as? [String: Any], let alert = aps["alert"] as? [String : Any]{ // 静默推送的处理逻辑 if #available(iOS 17.4, *) { let manager = LiveCommunicationManager.shared if manager.isInvalidate { return } if let msgType = userInfo["msgType"] as? Int{ if msgType == 5{ manager.configuration.invalidate() }else{ let callerName = alert["title"] as? String ?? "Fanvil" manager.reportIncomingCall(uuid: UUID(), callerName: callerName) } } } } } Xcode has been configured with the necessary capabilities, such as Background Fetch, Voice over IP, Background Processing, and Push Notification. The issue now is that sometimes the code works as expected, allowing the app to wake up when not running and displaying the system interface with accept and decline buttons. However, after a few successful attempts, the app stops waking up, and no notification appears. But when I manually open the app, the didReceiveRemoteNotification method gets triggered. I’d like to know why this stops working after a few times.

For important background information, read Extra-ordinary Networking before reading this. Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@" + "apple.com" On Host Names I commonly see questions like How do I get the device’s host name? This question doesn’t make sense without more context. Apple systems have a variety of things that you might consider to be the host name: The user-assigned device name — This is a user-visible value, for example, Guy Smiley. People set this in Settings > General > About > Name. The local host name — This is a DNS name used by Bonjour, for example, guy-smiley.local. By default this is algorithmically derived from the user-assigned device name. On macOS, people can override this in Settings > General > Sharing > Local hostname. The reverse DNS name associated with the various IP addresses assigned to the device’s various network interfaces That last one is pretty much useless. You can’t get a single host name because there isn’t a single IP address. For more on that, see Don’t Try to Get the Device’s IP Address. The other two have well-defined answers, although those answers vary by platform. I’ll talk more about that below. Before getting to that, however, let’s look at the big picture. Big Picture The use cases for the user-assigned device name are pretty clear. I rarely see folks confused about that. Another use case for this stuff is that you’ve started a server and you want to tell the user how to connect to it. I discuss this in detail in Showing Connection Information in an iOS Server. However, most folks who run into problems like this do so because they’re suffering from one of the following misconceptions: The device has a DNS name. Its DNS name is unique. Its DNS name doesn’t change. Its DNS name is in some way useful for networking. Some of these may be true in some specific circumstances, but none of them are true in all circumstances. These issues are not unique to Apple platforms — if you look at the Posix spec for gethostname, it says nothing about DNS! — but folks tend to notice these problems more on Apple platforms because Apple devices are often deployed to highly dynamic network environments. So, before you start using the APIs discussed in this post, think carefully about your assumptions. And if you actually do want to work with DNS, there are two cases to consider: If you’re looking for the local host name, use the APIs discussed above. In other cases, it’s likely that the APIs in this post will not be helpful and you’d be better off focusing on DNS APIs [1]. [1] The API I recommend for this is DNS-SD. See the DNS section in TN3151 Choosing the right networking API. macOS To get the user-assigned device name, call the SCDynamicStoreCopyComputerName(_:_:) function. For example: let userAssignedDeviceName = SCDynamicStoreCopyComputerName(nil, nil) as String? To get the local host name, call the SCDynamicStoreCopyLocalHostName(_:) function. For example: let localHostName = SCDynamicStoreCopyLocalHostName(nil) as String? IMPORTANT This returns just the name label. To form a local host name, append .local.. Both routines return an optional result; code defensively! If you’re displaying these values to the user, use the System Configuration framework dynamic store notification mechanism to keep your UI up to date. iOS and Friends On iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and visionOS, get the user-assigned device name from the name property on UIDevice. IMPORTANT Access to this is now restricted. For more on that, see the documentation for the com.apple.developer.device-information.user-assigned-device-name entitlement. There is no direct mechanism to get the local host name. Other APIs There are a wide variety of other APIs that purport to return the host name. These include: gethostname The name property on NSHost [1] The hostName property on NSProcessInfo (ProcessInfo in Swift) These are problematic for a number of reasons: They have a complex implementation that makes it hard to predict what value you’ll get back. They might end up trying to infer the host name from the network environment. The existing behaviour is hard to change due to compatibility concerns. Some of them are marked as to-be-deprecated. IMPORTANT The second issue is particularly problematic, because it involves synchronous DNS requests [2]. That’s slow in general. Worse yet, if the network environment is restricted in some way, these calls can be very slow, taking about 30 seconds to time out. Given these problems, it’s generally best to avoid calling these routines at all. [1] It also has a names property, which is a little closer to reality but still not particularly useful. [2] Actually, that’s not true for gethostname. Rather, that call just returns whatever was last set by sethostname. This is always fast. The System Configuration framework infrastructure calls sethostname to update the host name as the system state changes.

Hi Community, I'm new on Siri intents and I'm trying to introduce into my App a Siri Intent for Car Commands. The objective is to list into the Apple Maps the Car list of my App. Currently I've created my own target with its corresponding IntentHandlings, but in the .intentdefinition file of my App, I'm not able to find the List Car Intent. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sirikit/car-commands Do I need some auth? Also I share my info.plist from the IntentExtension. Thank you very much, David.

The stuff I've found by searching has confused me, so hopefully someone can help simplify it for me? I have an app (I use it for logging which books I've given away), and I could either add a bunch of things to the app, or I could have another app (possibly a CLI tool) to generate some reports I'd like.

Apple Sandbox is not available in India, also Apple Pay itself is not supported by Indian Banks. How can I still test using Apple Pay sandbox in India? I am trying to add test cards on my iPhone and it fails to add it. It tries to connect to Issuer, which it should not for sandbox Apple Id. Can anyone help how to achieve this?

Hi all, we are a Software company located in the EU. Or focus is building solutions for closed-loop fuel cards. To allow our customers to move to "virtual" closed-loop cards, we would like to request a HCE Entitlement. When filling the HCE entitlement form non of the provided Use Cases seemed to cover our case. In addition I'm unsure if AID Prefixes are mandatory for the closed-loop use case our App is meant for. I would like to avoid starting an HCE entitlement process with incorrect parameters and delay the overall process due to this. Thanks for any insights / feedback in advance.

When using NSScriptCommand, is there any way to create an NSAppleEventDescriptor from an NSDictionary with arbitrary keys without using keyASUserRecordFields? Am I correct in thinking that this constant is deprecated? I ask because there is still active documentation using it. Is there another way to return a record where the keys aren't known at compile-time?

I want to monitor again from the bellow function of DeviceActivityMonitorExtension. I have the function of startMonitoring like this. override func eventDidReachThreshold(_ event: DeviceActivityEvent.Name, activity: DeviceActivityName) { super.eventDidReachThreshold(event, activity: activity) startMonitoring() } public func startMonitoring() { let startTime = DateComponents(hour: 0, minute: 0, second: 0) let endTime = DateComponents(hour: 23, minute: 59, second: 59)//DateComponents(hour: 11, minute: 0, second: 0)// let schedule = DeviceActivitySchedule( intervalStart: startTime,//DateComponents(hour: 0, minute: 0, second: 0), intervalEnd: endTime, repeats: true //warningTime: DateComponents(minute:1) ) let selection: FamilyActivitySelection = savedSelection() ??

In core-data I have a contact and location entity. I have one-to-many relationship from contact to locations and one-to-one from location to contact. I create contact in a seperate view and save it. Later I create a location, fetch the created contact, and save it while specifying the relationship between location and contact contact and test if it actually did it and it works. viewContext.perform { do { // Set relationship using the generated accessor method currentContact.addToLocations(location) try viewContext.save() print("Saved successfully. Locations count:", currentContact.locations?.count ?? 0) if let locs = currentContact.locations { print("📍 Contact has \(locs.count) locations.") for loc in locs { print("➡️ Location: \(String(describing: (loc as AnyObject).locationName ?? "Unnamed"))") } } } catch { print("Failed to save location: \(error.localizedDescription)") } } In my NSManagedObject class properties I have this : for Contact: @NSManaged public var locations: NSSet? for Location: @NSManaged public var contact: Contact? in my persistenceController I have: for desc in [publicStore, privateStore] { desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentStoreRemoteChangeNotificationPostOptionKey) desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSPersistentHistoryTrackingKey) desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSMigratePersistentStoresAutomaticallyOption) desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: NSInferMappingModelAutomaticallyOption) desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: "CKSyncCoreDataDebug") // Optional: Debug sync // Add these critical options for relationship sync desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: "NSPersistentStoreCloudKitEnforceRecordExistsKey") desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: "NSPersistentStoreCloudKitMaintainReferentialIntegrityKey") // Add this specific option to force schema update desc.setOption(true as NSNumber, forKey: "NSPersistentStoreRemoteStoreUseCloudKitSchemaKey") } When synchronization happens on CloudKit side, it creates CKRecords: CD_Contact and CD_Location. However for CD_Location it creates the relationship CD_contact as a string and references the CD_Contact. This I thought should have come as REFERENCE On the CD_Contact there is no CD_locations field at all. I do see the relationships being printed on coredata side but it does not come as REFERENCE on cloudkit. Spent over a day on this. Is this normal, what am I doing wrong here? Can someone advise?

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?
