While attempting to set up Carplay on my iPhone 14 Pro Max, the phone locked up solid. Would not respond to touchscreen. Restarting phone didn't work. Next, pressed Volume Up, Volume Down and then held button on right side of phone until phone could be recognized by iTunes via a USB Cable. iTunes recognized the phone and its serial number and recommended Update. iOS18 was successfully downloaded and iTunes displayed that the OS installed correctly. However, after post-installation restart, phone went straight to unresponsive "Swipe up to recover" screen with white background. Would not respond properly to swipe. Made a tone, but did not recover. After several swipes, appeared to go into password entry screen. Pressing a number resulted in the phone loudly stating which number was pressed, a delay, then another loud statement about which alphanumerics that button represented. For instance, "2" resulted in "Two" being stated, a pause, then "ABC" was stated. Wow. So unimpressed. Anyway, will take it to an Apple Store (1-1/2 hours away) to see if they can strip off my files since my last iCloud backup. After that, looking at a complete Restore from iTunes. Very inconvenient and cannot locate a single person to help.

When is a fix coming? CarPlay is just a black screen whether cable or Bluetooth connected. Even before 18, connecting was troublesome, often taking 3 or 4 attempts. I’m seriously considering buying an android phone just to leave in the car - research indicates there virtually never issues with it and VAG infotainment.

Documentation is sparse on this and it doesn't help that Apple's version differs from POSIX. I know to specify ACL_TYPE_EXTENDED for acl_get_file() and know how to cycle through entries. From what I can tell, the tag is either ALLOW or DENY and you can check the permset for which actions the tag applies to. I can't figure out how get the group or user the entry applies to. The only way I've been able to get this info is by using acl_to_text and scraping that output. Anyone know how to do this using the acl APIs?

On the OS18 build in Xcode16 of my app, user is no longer asked for bluetooth permissions. On the current market build, the user is asked for bluetooth permissions at startup along with Siri and notifications permissions. The siri and notification prompts still display, but not the Bluetooth. I can't find any bluetooth permission related changes in hte release notes and nothing in the code or the info.plist has changed and "Privacy - Bluetooth Always Usage Description" is listed as expected. I now get a "Allow "xxxz" to find devices on local networks?" But not the Bluetooth permission dialog. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it?

I am trying to set up a KeyChain password using the security in my macOS terminal, and it happens that the special characters are encoded and not set to the keychain as it is rather encoded.. When I run this security add-generic-password -a comp -s example -w 'ã!¼àÁu' -T "" There will be no error but when the password is called back it is encoded with the something like below c3a321c2bcc3a0c38175 Does anybody know how i can achieve using this kind of characters without security encoding it as it currently does?

btm_launchagent.txt I have a menu bar app which should be triggered to start when a system extension is successfully installed. The menu bar app is configured as a agent which should be started by SMAppServer. SMAppService register/unregister the agent successfully when the program is running locally. When doing the program installation through JamfNow, which is a MDM system, it fails with following error. I think the problem here is that the backgroundtaskmanagementd trys to register the agent with an invalid uid=-1 or uid: 4294967295(0xFFFFFFFF). 2024-10-02 10:45:33.100537+0200 0x156d4 Activity 0x1b927 88 0 smd: (BackgroundTaskManagement) BTMManager.getEffectiveDisposition 2024-10-02 10:45:33.103478+0200 0x156dd Default 0x1b927 282 0 backgroundtaskmanagementd: [com.apple.backgroundtaskmanagement:main] effectiveItemDisposition: appURL=file:///Applications/Company%20Agent.app/, type=agent, url=Contents/Library/LaunchAgents/com.Company.agent.notifier.plist -- file:///, config={ BTMConfigArguments = ( );

so i installed ios 18 earlier this morning, but i soon realize while using my phone a screen randomly pops up loading for like 6 seconds and then closes my phone (like the restart animation) it has probably happened 5 times now.

Hello, We have a scanning app using Image Capture Core. It is working fine on MacOS up to version 13. We notice now it is broken on Mac OS 15 (Sequoia) because the scannerDevice:didScanToURL: is never invoked when the scanner has scanned a page. Pages are scanned and saved on disk, but didScanToURL is never invoked. Any fix for this?

Hey guys, If you are still having issues on having your download stuck at 99% and switching on and off WiFi, I believe I have a fix. turn your cellular data completely off. It will force the device to just use wifi. Then the download will restart and actually complete.

Before updating to macOS 15 Sequoia, I used to be able to create file bookmarks with this code: let openPanel = NSOpenPanel() openPanel.runModal() let url = openPanel.urls[0] do { let _ = try url.bookmarkData(options: [.withSecurityScope]) } catch { print(error) } Now I get an error Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=256 "Failed to retrieve app-scope key" These are the entitlements: com.apple.security.app-sandbox com.apple.security.files.user-selected.read-write com.apple.security.files.bookmarks.app-scope Strangely, my own apps continued working, after updating to macOS 15 some days ago, until a few moments ago. Then it seems that all of a sudden my existing bookmarks couldn't be resolved anymore, and no new bookmarks could be created. What could be the problem?

According to Technical Note TN2083 the Window Server advertises itself in the global bootstrap namespace, which is why you can launch GUI applications from SSH sessions, even if sshd/sshd-keygen-wrapper is launched as a launch daemon (in a non-GUI per-session bootstrap namespace). As I understand it this is also why SessionGetInfo() reports NO for sessionHasGraphicAccess, as the SSH session is not an Aqua session type, while CGSessionCopyCurrentDictionary() does return a valid dict, because in practice you have access to the window server. However, the tech note advices against running GUI programs from SSH sessions, as other GUI services may not be exposed to the global or non-GUI per-session bootstrap namespace. It uses com.apple.dock.server as an example of such a service, showing how Activity Monitor has different behavior when launched via SSH than via the UI. Based on the advice of the tech note, articles like https://aahlenst.dev/blog/accessing-the-macos-gui-in-automation-contexts/ recommends running CI UI tests via a Launch Agent instead of SSH. Now, I've tried to reproduce the the Activity Monitor case on macOS 12 and macOS 15, and I can not reproduce the missing Dock features. The Testing with Xcode documentation also says that: By default, when you use ssh to login to an macOS system that has no active user session running, a command-line session is created. To ensure that an Aqua session is created for an ssh login, you must have a user logged in on the remote macOS host system. The existence of a user running on the remote system forces Aqua session for the ssh login. Once there is a user running on the host system, running xcodebuild from an ssh login works for all types of tests. Which begs the question: Does modern macOS versions expose GUI services to the global or non-GUI per-session bootstrap namespace, or otherwise enable UI testing from SSH sessions, so that UI tests can safely be run from SSH sessions (as long as the user is logged in to the remote system's UI). Has things changed in this regard?

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm developing a call-blocking app for iOS and have encountered an issue with iOS 18. Despite calls being successfully blocked by our app's Call Directory extension, they are still appearing as unanswered calls in the native Phone app. Details: iOS version: 18 App uses CallKit and Call Directory extension Calls are blocked successfully (not ringing on device) Blocked calls show up as "Unanswered" in Phone app's recent calls list Expected behavior: Blocked calls should not appear in the Phone app's recent calls list. Actual behavior: Blocked calls appear as "Unanswered" in the recent calls list.

I'm observing all sorts of race conditions occurring in various VNOPs my custom filesystem implements. I'm inclined to attribute this to my implementation not following the locking rules expected by the system of a 3rd party filesystem as well as it should. I've looked at how locking is done in Apple's own implementation of Samba and NFS clients. The Samba client uses read/write locks to protect its node from data races. While the NFS client uses mutex locks for the same purpose. I realised that I don't have a clear model in my head of how locking should be done properly. Thus my question, what are the locking rules for VFS and VNOP operations? Thanks.

We have a push-to-talk client, Part of Push APNS, app never received the BG task expiry. The app is suspended. Received Push-To-Talk APNS Here requested a BGTask and it got successfully registered Since it is a PTT call path, it ended immediately(via code) due to internal restrictions Ex: DND mode for client specific. The client allowed BG time more than 30 seconds and looks client has been suspended but Never received a BG task expiration handler from OS In sys diagnose logs confirmed, BGTask registered successfully 2024-09-03 16:18:47.331890 +0530 default AT&T EPTT : Created background task .

Hello, I am developing an application that involves writing data to RFID tags using NFC (ISO/IEC 14443A/B, Mifare, and FeliCa standards) for an electric vehicle charging station. However, I am consistently facing an issue where the Apple Wallet app is automatically triggered during NFC operations on iOS. This problem occurs every time I attempt to write data to the RFID tags, preventing the application from properly detecting or interacting with the NFC tags. Here are the key details of the issue: Device: iPhone (tested on various models and iOS versions) Issue: Apple Wallet automatically opens during NFC tag writing operations. Expected Behavior: My application should write data to RFID tags without triggering Apple Wallet. RFID Standards: ISO/IEC 14443A/B, Mifare, FeliCa. Code Implementation: I am using the Core NFC framework and NFCISO14443ReaderSession to communicate with the RFID tags. The same code works seamlessly with Android devices, but iOS continuously triggers the Wallet app. Here’s a brief code snippet that demonstrates the problem: import CoreNFC func startNFCSession() { let session = NFCISO14443ReaderSession(delegate: self, queue: nil, invalidateAfterFirstRead: false) session?.alertMessage = "Hold your iPhone near the NFC tag." session?.begin() } func readerSession(_ session: NFCISO14443ReaderSession, didDetect tags: [NFCISO14443Tag]) { guard let tag = tags.first else { return } session.connect(to: tag) { (error: Error?) in if let error = error { session.invalidate(errorMessage: "Connection failed: \(error.localizedDescription)") return } // Write data to the tag here // The Wallet app opens instead of allowing data writing. } } I've taken steps to ensure that I am not using NDEF tags, as I understand that may interfere with the Wallet functionality. Despite using the lower-level NFCISO14443ReaderSession API, the issue persists. I’ve also tried disabling all Wallet settings on the device, but the problem still occurs. Additionally, no such issues are experienced on Android devices with similar functionality, so it appears to be an iOS-specific problem. Is there a way to prevent Apple Wallet from being triggered when using Core NFC to interact with RFID tags? Any assistance or guidance on how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated, as this is a critical feature for the functionality of the electric vehicle charging station system we are building. Thank you in advance!

On macOS Sequoia, the settings to enable FIFinderSync seem to have gone. I have already figured out that Extensions are no longer in the Privacy &amp; Security section, but they are now at General › Login Items &amp; Extensions. Here there is a Finder section, but that is just for the Finder-Extensions, not the Finder-Sync-Extensions. Those previously did not have their own section and were hidden away in the Added Extensions section that apparently no longer exists. I expect that it has been forgotten when migrating. Where are the settings for this – have they been forgotten?

iOS now has a pre-build closure optimization for launch, so how do I know if my app launches with a pre-build closure optimization? In what way can I check that my application has a pre-built closure at startup？
