Hello,
I am currently developing an iOS application that leverages FinanceKit to access transaction history. I have already enabled FinanceKit in my developer account, but I am encountering challenges when trying to test the transaction history feature.
Could anyone guide me on the best practices or specific steps needed to effectively test FinanceKit’s transaction history in a development environment? Any insights on mock data handling, API responses, or potential limitations during testing would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm currently pulling device-specific data for my app, and I'm manually listing 150 models like this:
device_models = [ "iPhone1_1", "iPhone1_2", "iPhone2_1", ... "iPad16_6"]
Is there an API endpoint or an automated method to dynamically retrieve a complete list of device models?
I'm specifically looking to connect this with the performance metrics API to monitor launch times per device type. Any suggestions on how to streamline or automate this list would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I created this experience with mywebsite.com?l=1&p=store&p1=1314&table= , and it’s working fine. I thought that by passing a table number, I could identify which table the order came from. However, when I add mywebsite.com?l=1&p=store&p1=1314&table=1, it isn’t recognized, and the app clip doesn’t open.
Hi everyone, I am trying to compress my data using LZMA2 with the help of CocoaPods.
Here are the steps I followed to achieve LZMA2 compression:
Added the pod 'SWCompression', '~> 4.8' dependency to my Podfile and installed the pod using the terminal.
When I try to compress the data using LZMA2, I am unable to do so because in SWCompression, LZMA2 compression is marked as TBD (To Be Determined).
Here is the current status of SWCompression:
Deflate BZip2 LZMA/LZMA2 LZ4
Decompression ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
Compression ✅ ✅ TBD ✅
Zlib GZip XZ ZIP TAR 7-Zip
Read ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅ ✅
Write ✅ ✅ TBD TBD ✅ TBD
Since LZMA2 compression is still marked as TBD, is there any other way to achieve LZMA2 compression for my data in SwiftUI?

why?
Hello, I've been working to implement PTT in the way recommended by the documentation. The main issue is that the bluetooth methods are opaque, so I cannot solve for what I need. The result will be that I will have to resort to hacky approaches that the PTT framework seems to be intended to solve (playing silent clips, playing custom notification sounds, having long running background audio sessions).
I am testing with Anker soundcore mini as well as airpod pro.
Here's the issue: there are 2 very different behaviours depending on whether I'm using a call/fullDuplex session and a halfDuplex session.
halfDuplex
Anchor mini
Current behaviour
long press activates siri
pressing again after siri is active, starts transmission
long press activates siri again
pressing again after siri is active, stops transmission
pause/play routes to the ongoing media session and plays music
Expected behaviour
play/pause should map to transmit/stopTransmit
IF I have to use long press, it should at least not trigger siri
AirPod pro
Current behaviour
long press changes noise cancellation
pause/play routes to the ongoing media session and plays music
Expected behaviour
play/pause should map to transmit/stopTransmit
fullDuplex/call
Anchor mini:
Current behaviour
long press activates siri
pressing again after siri is active, starts transmission
long press activates siri again
pressing again after siri is active, stops transmission
pause/play routes to the ongoing media session and plays music
Expected behaviour
play/pause should map to transmit/stopTransmit
IF I have to use long press, it should at least not trigger siri
AirPod pro
Current behaviour
long press changes noise cancellation
pause/play maps to mute/unmute (even if media is playing)
Expected behaviour
This makes sense for call behaviour, I wish it worked this well for PTT
The intention here is to be able to fully interact with a channel hands-free. The current API seems to make that impossible. Is that by design? Reading all the docs seems to suggest its intended for transmit/stopTransmit to be doable just with the play/pause buttons, but even apple hardware seems to not support that.
Hello all, I'm finding myself with a compile error when trying to use a defined UTType for Transferable conformance when the type is also an AppEntity.
The compiler error is
Could not determine the identifier of `.todo`. Please use a UTType defined by the UniformTypeIdentifiers framework
However, said compiler error only shows up after adding AppEntity conformance.
So, in order to reproduce:
Create any type, conform to Codable
struct Todo: Codable {
var id: UUID
var title: String
var completed: Bool
}
Create a UTType extension for the new type
extension UTType {
public static let todo: UTType = UTType(exportedAs: "org.nameghino.types.todo")
}
Add Transferable conformance
extension Todo: Transferable {
static var transferRepresentation: some TransferRepresentation {
CodableRepresentation(contentType: .todo)
ProxyRepresentation(exporting: \.title)
}
}
At this point, the code compiles correctly on Xcode 16.2 beta 2 (16C5013f)
Add AppEntity conformance
extension Todo: AppEntity {
static var typeDisplayRepresentation: TypeDisplayRepresentation = "todo_title"
static var defaultQuery = Todo.Query()
var displayRepresentation: DisplayRepresentation {
DisplayRepresentation(title: "\(title)")
}
struct Query: EntityQuery {
typealias Entity = Todo
init() {}
func entities(for identifiers: [UUID]) async throws -> [Todo] {
return []
}
func suggestedEntities() async throws -> [Entity] {
return []
}
}
}
Now the code is not compiling with the aforementioned error.
Hi,
Firstly: The whole question is about MacCatalyst (in IOS it works as intended)
In my Maccatalyst app I want to share Userdefaults between app and widget. I have added an app group to the widget and the app and have set up Userdefauls accordingly.
Here is the problem:
Xcode claims that the app group should start with "group.***" because Catalyst is based on iOS. If I do so, my Catalyst app rises the "App wants to access data from other apps" requester on EVERY launch. So, I can't use it in production. Even if I would accept the requester, the widget isn't able to access the defaults at all because it does not rise that requester, but silently ignores the access.
In contrast, if I setup the app group name with our TeamID (instead of group.*) then the requester vanishes, but Xcode does not accept it, issuing a warning and displaying the app group in red. I don't think this is advisable 'state' for production code. Even then widget can't see the data either.
What is the recommended way of sharing Userdefaults between Catalyst app and Catalyst Widget (not the iOS widget which displays the "open on iPhone warning" when clicked) on macOS ?
Thanks
We have a requirement where we have to navigate user to specific section (Passwords) in device settings on tap of a button. I've seen other popular apps doing it & also seen some solutions where people provided an option of using "App-prefs". But as per documentation, this is a private API.
What is the solution here if I want to open specific section in device settings without taking a chance of my app getting rejected while submission process?
Hello, our app gets rejected as it crashes on launch. According to the logs, it happens because the app attempts to access private-sensitive data. We don't collect any of personal data, so it is probably done by Google Firebase embedded in the app (Core, Firestore, Auth). Maybe you have met similar cases and know any of Firebase settings that disable attempts of accessing privacy-sensitive data? We already set FirebaseDataCollectionDefaultEnabled to NO in info.plist, but it still not enough. Maybe error in facebook sdk? Before that it was written that there was an error when starting the ipad air 5

I am getting this error when trying to run the app on an actual IOS device using testFlight. It works well on simulators. I am using expo to build my app. I have done the following:
Added Sign in with Apple in Xcode for all the profiles ( i.e. debug and release)
Set expo.ios.usesAppleSignIn to true in my app.json ( I think due to this I see Synced capabilities: Enabled: Sign In with Apple while building my app using eas build. )
Make sure that the provision profile has Sign in with App capability.
What I am not able to understand is how option provided in provision profile works. Expo creates the profile with type "App Store". I think this is because I am building the expo app with production profile. Does this have to take anything with it? Does the profile with type "App Store" not work when I am testing the app using testFlight? I am so confused right now. Can someone help me figure out the actual issue?
I have seen almost all the posts regarding this error. None of those helped!
Thanks in advance!
(Also have a case ID, 9879068)
We have an app that user use to check in/out from work for example. We have a button in-app do do this. Now I'm trying to add buttons to our widgets and our new live activity so that users don't have to open the app.
It's crucial that the live activity and widgets always show the exact same state.
Otherwise it'll look pretty bad if a user has both a live activity and a widget showin at the same time.
However, we have noticed that sometimes, pressing the button in the live activity, running the app intent, will not always make the widget update (we call reloadAllTimelines()). The other way around, i.e. press the button on widget to update live activity always works. (they both call the same app intent)
When running it in debug mode on a phone from Xcode, it always works, but when running it just on the phone it's unreliable.
My first thought was, of course, that's related to the widget "budget", but according to the docs HERE, it should not be applied when interacting with a widget, calling an app intent.
My question: HOW can I make my widget reliably refresh using an app intent invoked from a live activity??
I have a ready small project with simple buttons and trace labels that display this issue that I'm happy to supply to someone.

18.1.crash
Hello,
I have an app in AppStore "Counter Widget". https://apps.apple.com/app/id1522170621
It allows you to add a widget to your homescreen/lockscreen to count anything.
Everything works fine except for one scenario. iOS 18+
I create 2 or more widgets for one counter. For example, medium and small widgets.
I click on the widget button to increase or decrease the value.
The button in the widget uses Button(intent: AppIntent) to update the value and calls WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() to update the second widget for the same counter.
For iOS 18 in this particular scenario, you don't even have to call the WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines(). iOS already knows that there is a widget with the same INIntent settings and will update it itself.
Both widgets are updated and show the new value. Everything is correct.
Now on the homescreen I open the widget configuration for one of the widgets to change the INIntent for the widget. For example, i change the background to wallpaper. This is just a skin for the widget, and the widget is associated with the same counter value as before.
As in (2), I click the widget button to increase or decrease the value.
But now only one widget is updated. iOS ignores my call to WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() and does not update the second widget connected to the same counter.
As I found, iOS, when I call WidgetCenter.shared.reloadAllTimelines() from the widget itself, updates other widgets only if INIntent is absolutely equal for them.
Overriding isEqual for them did not help. That is, I cannot specify which fields from my INIntent can be ignored during such an update and consider that widgets are equal and need to be updated. Obviously iOS make this compare outside my code.
The main problem is that when the user adds a widget to the lock screen and increases and decreases the value there. After that, he opens the home screen and the widget there is not synchronized with the value from the widget on the lock screen.
How to solve this problem?
When my macOS app (currently in TestFlight and set for Mac App Store distribution) tries to terminate another app, both terminate() and forceTerminate() consistently return false. However, I can retrieve a list of all running applications so some related APIs do work.
I suspect this limitation is due to sandboxing. I have three questions:
Is there any permission or entitlement I can add in Xcode to allow my app to terminate other applications?
If no such permission exists, is there a way to guide users on how to launch my app (distributed through the Mac App Store) without sandboxing? For example, could they set it up to launch as a daemon or agent?
If unsandboxing is impossible, would I need to create a separate target specifically without sandboxing? In other words, my MacOS app would communicate with my unsandboxed daemon that would do all the terminate()-ing?
Hello fellow developers! I am interested in obtaining the following information regarding one of our Home Screen widgets:
Pull the following data about the "my_app_widget" homepage widget in total and by month for the last 12 months (Sep '23 - Sep '24):
Widget install events
Unique widget installs

We are planning on renaming our app. The new name is not like the current name. It will be renamed in the App Store as well as the App display name. Yet, we still want new and existing users to be able to find the app by using the old name in search/spotlight under iOS. A great example of this is entering Twitter to find the X app and it shows up in the App section in the Spotlight search.
Are there any guidelines, settings, or tricks for doing this? Some have suggested adding a Spotlight search term but that will not have it show up in the App section I fear.
