Upon taking a photo using the rear camera of my iPhone 14 Pro Max, I observed severe picture distortion. This issue severely undermines the functionality and reliability of the iPhone camera, raising serious concerns about its usability and trustworthiness.

I'm trying to build an XCode project that contains an app and another target for the DriverKit, and run into the following linker issue:
ld: file cannot be open()ed, errno=2 path=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/15.0.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.profile_driverkit.a in '/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/lib/clang/15.0.0/lib/darwin/libclang_rt.profile_driverkit.a'
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
My project has Code Coverage enabled. I noticed that if I disabled Code Coverage for all targets, I would be able to build successfully, and the driverKit would work as expected.
I wonder if it would be possible to build DriverKit without disabling code coverage.
Thanks
Hi,
I'm trying to test the NetworkingDriverKitSampleApp at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkingdriverkit/connecting_a_network_driver for a while but I couldn't reach the final steps described in the documentation.
My setup: Xcode 15.4, MacBook Pro M3 with Sonoma 14.5, SIP is disabled.
I prepared the required provisinning profiles with required entitelements.
Dext and app builds successfully. Build path starts with "/Applications".
"Install Dext" operation is successful without any error after allowing necessary permission.
However, neither System Settings shows any new enXX interface, nor ioreg command shows a registered service while "systemextensionctl list" shows the expected result as a com.apple.system_extension.driver_extension record with [ activated enabled ].
I repeated the same steps for "Driver Kit Sample" at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit/driverkit_sample_code, "Install Dext" step succesful but "Communicate With Dext" results in "Driver is not connected" message. Similar to previous project, ioreg doesn't show any service for the dext while systemextensionctl lists [activeted enabled]. I also test an updated version of DriverKitSample at https://github.com/DanBurkhardt/DriverKitUserClientSample, which reproduced the same results.
Finally, my device experiences seldom crashes after passing sleep state when the dext remains installed; where crash report points "IOReg".
Is there any lacking steps on Apple documentation for Sonoma 14.5 or XCode 15.4 versions?
Thanks.
Hi,
I'm trying to test "https://developer.apple.com/documentation/networkingdriverkit/connecting_a_network_driver" on MacBook Pro M3 with 14.5 Sonoma, XCode 15.4, SIP is disabled.
Build steps are succesful, after running App, "Install Dext" is succesful, there is no error in XCode; "systemextensionctl list" show a record for "com.apple.system_extension.driver_extension" with [ activated enabled ] tag.
But, "ioreg" doesn't show any service for the dext; and no new interface with name "enXX" appears in System Settings in contrast to what the document describes. In addition, seldomly my device experiences crash when the dext remains installed where crash report points "IOReg" function.
I tried also Driver Kit Sample ( https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit/driverkit_sample_code ) and a github project based on this sample having last commits 9 months ago. However, Dext installation reveals similar behavior and "Communicate with Dext" step is unsuccessful with the message "Driver is not connected".
Is there an updated version of Networking Driver Kit documentation to reach a running sample app for Sonoma 14.5?
Thanks.
Bonjour,
Depuis la mise à jour vers ios18 je n’arrive plus à accéder au réglage temps d’écran.
la fonction me demande de me connecter, mais après l’identification plus rien impossible d’accéder a la fonctio.
Here is project I am researching: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/hiddriverkit/handling_stylus_input_from_a_human_interface_device
I have a Touch screen and I want:
can control this screen, I can enable extension and control Touch screen successfully.
can pen on this screen. To do this, I need to send X,Y to StylusApp(AppKit) But I Can not send X, Y to Swift StylusApp
Eventhough I can log X,Y it by default code:
But I don't know how to send it to AppKit to Pen.
I have research about communicate Driver and Client: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/driverkit/communicating_between_a_driverkit_extension_and_a_client_app#4324306 but seem HID driver don't support inheritance from IOUserClient:
how can i upgrade my mac 10.13 if it does let me go to [https://beta.apple.com/sp/betaprogram/apfsfusion]. page
I'm try to use CoreHID to communicate with a usb hid device that sends custom reports. I have been able to create a client, but when I try to access the elements I get this:
IOServiceOpen failed: 0xe00002e2
also in:
client.monitorNotifications(reportIDsToMonitor: [HIDReportID.allReports], elementsToMonitor: []) {...
What do I put into "elementsToMonitor: []" array?
Hi guys,
I am developing an iOS application that turns iPhone into a HID peripheral. I have successfully added services and characteristics, and it can be paired with a Windows PC and works as expected.
However, after the app relaunch and services re-added, PC not able to re-connect to it automatically. It still shows "Paired" on the PC rather than "Connnected" and no subscribe event received from CB. The user has to remove the device and do the pair again.
I think the reason is that a new peripheral manager created after re-launch, it doesn't have previous connections' information (uuid or secure key). Hence, PC not able to talk to it anymore.
My questions are:
Is it the real reason for this?
Any chance app can store the peripheral manager or the connection information? So that can pick it up next run.
Any chance can setup to "Just works" mode? Maybe can make the reconnection working?
I have read thru the CB documents, and didn't find answer there. Just trying with the forum if any luck...
since I downloaded the iOS 18.1 beta, my twint apps aren‘t working anymore
They crash as soon as i select the app icon
crashlog-BBC50CC6-272F-4066-A066-C2547619E566.txt
in ios18 whatsapp does not appear in carplay
The following exceptions occur when I try to archive a version of this app. It runs fine in DEBUG - ive bashed my head through all github forums and stack overflow posts trying all fixes:
deleting the duplicate pods in xcode - cause a hermes error which then fails ALL builds
the following all show the same symptoms (same error ONLY in an archive build)
adjusting pod file to eliminate duplicates
inserting a script in build phases
have checked info.plist, project.pbxproj and other key files
HELP... i need to get this published 4 weeks ago

Hello,
I am trying to get value of InterfaceClass for particular USB Device. I modified matching dictionary and added the property locationID property.
CFMutableDictionaryRef matchingDictionary = IOServiceMatching(kIOUSBInterfaceClassName);
if (!matchingDictionary)
{
return -1;
}
int32_t locationID = 0xffff;
CFNumberRef cfLocationID = CFNumberCreate(kCFAllocatorDefault, kCFNumberSInt32Type, &locationID);
CFDictionaryAddValue(matchingDictionary, CFSTR(kUSBHostPropertyLocationID), cfLocationID);
CFRelease(cfLocationID);
io_service_t ioService = IOServiceGetMatchingService(kIOMasterPortDefault, matchingDictionary);
if (!ioService)
{
return -1;
}
CFNumberRef cfInterfaceClass = (CFNumberRef)IORegistryEntrySearchCFProperty(ioService, kIOServicePlane, CFSTR(kUSBHostMatchingPropertyInterfaceClass), kCFAllocatorDefault, kNilOptions);
...
Unfortunately nothing is found and ioService is NULL. What can be wrong here?
Thank you in advance!
I am on a 2021 24" M-1 iMac running Sonoma 14.5. I've recently acquired Universal Audio's Apollo Twin X DAW. I'm recording with Logic Pro X software.
I've already gone through the Mac security instructions to get the Apollo Twin X installed, but I am getting little onscreen warnings from Apple saying that my set up may not be compatible with upcoming iOS updates. UA is pointing the finger at Apple. So, what gives? Will Apple updates welcoming Universal Audio Apollo Twin X into its world seamlessly? I am avoiding updating my iOS because of this issue.
since the installation of iOS 18 beta 7 can no longer see my music in messenger note. Was there in beta 6.
need help to fix the bug.
Thanks
I created a camera extension project that required interaction via custom properties. I originally coded it on macOS 14.x. In the camera extension code, receiving and returning NSNumber values as shown in the code at the bottom.
The app was working perfectly until I went to test on mac 12.7.6. Under that version of macOS, the custom properties weren't working at all. I also saw lines in the logs like this:
CMIO_DAL_CMIOExtension_Stream.mm:1165:GetPropertyData 50 wrong 4cc format for key 4cc_back_glob_0000
which was totally perplexiing, because it was clear that the 4cc codes were fine under 13.x, especially given that the documentation for CMIOExtensionPropertyState clearly says that NSNumbers should be OK.
On a hunch, I changed the code to use NSString instead of NSNumber, and it started working again under 12.7.6.
So, my experience is that macOS 12.x doesn't allow you to use NSNumbers, but it happy with NSStrings.
Hope that saves someone else some time.
And here is is the code that worked on 14.x, but not on 12.x.
// 4cc constant
const CMIOExtensionProperty CMIOExtensionPropertyCustomPropertyData_BackgroundOption = @"4cc_back_glob_0000";
- (nullable CMIOExtensionDeviceProperties *)devicePropertiesForProperties:(NSSet<CMIOExtensionProperty> *)properties error:(NSError * _Nullable *)outError
{
// doesn't work on macOS 12.x, works on 14.x
CMIOExtensionDeviceProperties *deviceProperties = [CMIOExtensionDeviceProperties devicePropertiesWithDictionary:@{}];
if ([properties containsObject:CMIOExtensionPropertyCustomPropertyData_BackgroundOption]) {
NSNumber* nsBackgroundOption = [NSNumber numberWithUnsignedInt:(unsigned int)_backgroundOption];
CMIOExtensionPropertyState* state = [CMIOExtensionPropertyState propertyStateWithValue:nsBackgroundOption];
[deviceProperties setPropertyState:state forProperty:CMIOExtensionPropertyCustomPropertyData_BackgroundOption];
}
return deviceProperties;
}
- (BOOL)setDeviceProperties:(CMIOExtensionDeviceProperties *)deviceProperties error:(NSError * _Nullable *)outError
{
// doesn't work on macOS 12.x, works on 14.x
NSDictionary* devicePropertiesDict = [deviceProperties propertiesDictionary];
CMIOExtensionPropertyState* propState = nil;
propState = [devicePropertiesDict objectForKey:CMIOExtensionPropertyCustomPropertyData_BackgroundOption];
if (propState != NULL) {
NSNumber* nsBackgroundOption = [propState value];
if (nsBackgroundOption != NULL) {
uint32_t newBackgroundOption = [nsBackgroundOption unsignedIntValue];
if (newBackgroundOption != _backgroundOption) {
log_info(@"##### Set Background Option to %d", (int) newBackgroundOption);
}
_backgroundOption = newBackgroundOption;
}
}
return YES;
}
Investigating a kernel panic, I discovered that Apple Silicon Panic traces are not working with how I know to symbolicate the panic information. I have not found proper documentation that corrects this situation.
Attached file is an indentity-removed panic, received from causing an intentional panic (dereferencing nullptr), so that I know what functions to expect in the call stack. This is cut-and-pasted from the "Report To Apple" dialog that appears after the reboot:
panic_1_4_21_b.txt
To start, I download and install the matching KDK (in this case KDK_14.6.1_23G93.kdk), identified from this line:
OS version: 23G93
Kernel version: Darwin Kernel Version 23.6.0: Mon Jul 29 21:14:04 PDT 2024; root:xnu-10063.141.2~1/RELEASE_ARM64_T8122
Then start lldb from Terminal, using this command:
bash_prompt % lldb -arch arm64e /Library/Developer/KDKs/KDK_14.6.1_23G93.kdk/System/Library/Kernels/kernel.release.t8122
Next I load the remaining scripts per the instructions from lldb:
(lldb) settings set target.load-script-from-symbol-file true
I need to know what address to load my kext symbols to, which I read from this line of the panic log, after the @ symbol:
com.company.product(1.4.21d119)[92BABD94-80A4-3F6D-857A-3240E4DA8009]@0xfffffe001203bfd0->0xfffffe00120533ab
I am using a debug build of my kext, so the DWARF symbols are part of the binary. I use this line to load the symbols into the lldb session:
(lldb) addkext -F /Library/Extensions/KextName.kext/Contents/MacOS/KextName 0xfffffe001203bfd0
And now I should be able to use lldb image lookup to identify pointers on the stack that land within my kext. For example, the current PC at the moment of the crash lands within the kext (expected, because it was intentional):
(lldb) image lookup -a 0xfffffe001203fe10
Which gives the following incorrect result:
Address: KextName[0x0000000000003e40] (KextName.__TEXT.__cstring + 14456)
Summary: "ffer has %d retains\n"
That's not even a program instruction - that's within a cstring. No, that cstring isn't involved in anything pertaining to the intentional panic I am expecting to see.
Can someone please explain what I'm doing wrong and provide instructions that will give symbol information from a panic trace on an Apple Silicon Mac?
Disclaimers:
Yes I know IOPCIFamily is deprecated, I am in process of transitioning to DriverKit Dext from IOKit kext. Until then I must maintain the kext.
Terminal command "atos" provides similar incorrect results, and seems to not work with debug-built-binaries (only dSYM files)
Yes this is an intentional panic so that I can verify the symbolicate process before I move on to investigating an unexpected panic
I have set nvram boot-args to include keepsyms=1
I have tried (lldb) command script import lldb.macosx but get a result of error: no images in crash log (after the nvram settings)
I am facing a problem as per the title. I tried possible options as per the guidance in other forums here but still facing the same problem. Even I can't connect my AirPods.
Is there any help?
