The Certification Authority (CA) for Apple Push Notification service (APNs) is changing. APNs will update the server certificates in sandbox on January 20, 2025, and in production on February 24, 2025. All developers using APNs will need to update their application’s Trust Store to include the new server certificate: SHA-2 Root : USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate. To ensure a smooth transition and avoid push notification delivery failures, please make sure that both old and new server certificates are included in the Trust Store before the cut-off date for each of your application servers that connect to sandbox and production. At this time, you don’t need to update the APNs SSL provider certificates issued to you by Apple.

Hello, We’re working on a connected watch that displays notifications and handles calls using the ANCS (Apple Notification Center Service) on a Nordic Semiconductor platform. We can manage a single call by monitoring notifications with Category ID: Incoming Call and Category ID 12: Active Call, which lets us display the call status on the watch. However, we’re facing challenges with handling multiple calls, especially around holding and resuming calls. Our key issues are: Tracking Call on Hold: When the first call is put on hold to answer a second call, ANCS removes the first call notification. This leaves us unable to track if there’s a call on hold until it’s resumed and reappears as an Active Call. Is there any ANCS flag, category ID, or other mechanism to indicate a call is on hold? Tracking Total Call Duration: When resuming a held call, ANCS assigns a new Active Call category ID with a new timestamp, which reflects the resumption time rather than the original call start time. This complicates tracking the total elapsed time. Is there a way to identify that this resumed call is the same as the original one to retain the initial timestamp? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Hello, I am developing an application using VoIP Push and CallKit. I have a question: Starting with iOS 13, I understand that under the VoIP Push policy, if reportNewIncomingCall is not called continuously, the VoIP Push may be blocked. Is there a way to determine if the device has been blocked? I am curious whether PKPushRegistry itself is unable to receive pushes or if reportNewIncomingCall returns an error when it is blocked. If push notifications are not being received, what should I do to resume receiving them? Thank you.

I'm trying to call the Test Notification endpoint: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreserverapi/request_a_test_notification?language=objc I'm creating a JWT bearer token using a script I run on the console with these 2 commands: npm install jsonwebtoken fs and node generate_jwt.js Keys are taken from App Store Connect -> User and Access -> Integrations -> Keys -> In-App Purchase. generate_jwt.js script: const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken'); const fs = require('fs'); const keyId = 'MY_KEY_ID'; const issuerId = 'MY_ISSUER_ID'; const privateKey = `-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY----- MY_SECRET_KEY -----END PRIVATE KEY-----`; // Define JWT headers and claims const token = jwt.sign({}, privateKey, { algorithm: 'ES256', expiresIn: '1h', issuer: issuerId, header: { alg: 'ES256', kid: keyId, }, audience: 'appstoreconnect-v1' }); console.log('JWT Token:', token); When I run a POST https://api.storekit.itunes.apple.com/inApps/v1/notifications/test request on postman with Bearer token authentication, I get a 401 Unauthorized error.

Hello, I am building a swift macOS app and have noticed issues today with delivering APN's to both development and production devices. Similar to this thread the only way I can get them to deliver temporarily is to do one of: Change the bundle ID of my app to a new bundle ID, then start it up. I will usually get the first notification. Reset my network (either wired ethernet or wifi, typically both) Using the push notifications console for development sends, I see the message "discarded as device was offline" in the delivery log even though the device is still online and was just registered when I got back the deviceToken. If I set an expiration on development notifications then the delivery log says "stored for device power considerations" and the notification will then send once I do one of the above steps (new bundle or reset network). Previous to today the notifications were sending immediately and I had no issues getting them. Is there something I can do to fix this problem, is it a problem with the APN provider, or is it something else I haven't thought of? A unique ID for an expiration-based notification is 1755def8-1a44-cbcf-c64b-64e435c30f81, and a non-expiry is d7a72b46-0c64-4500-0abc-3734f9efbd90.

frequentPushEnablementUpdates asynchronous sequence is never called even if 'More Frequent Updates' is toggled ON or OFF. for await frequentPushEnabled in ActivityAuthorizationInfo().frequentPushEnablementUpdates { // never called } Though we are able to get the 'More Frequent Updates' value once by the following: var isEnabled = ActivityAuthorizationInfo().frequentPushesEnabled //true if ON, false if OFF This only gives the result once as it is not async observation sequence. But the 'frequentPushEnablementUpdates' async sequence is never called. As per the doc - 'frequentPushEnablementUpdates' is an asynchronous sequence you use to observe whether a person permitted you to update Live Activities with frequent ActivityKit push notifications.

Hi everyone. Can anyone who has had experience tell me how long it takes to get a response to the approval to use critical alerts? Thanks.

Good afternoon) Could you please advise, I need to issue a Wallet-a card with a description of the bonus program for a certain store.

Hello! I am working on an app that requires to send a local push notification to the user from an app extension (from the ShieldActionDelegate to be precise). This is suggested by DTS as a workaround for this issue: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/766644 But now, on the iOS 18.2 beta, local push notifications are delayed by up to 10 seconds, even though the push notification is classified as .timeSensitive, leading to a very bad user experience (where to user has to sit and wait for the notification to arrive without knowing how long it will take). This only happens when Apple Intelligence is turned on. This had happened previously on the iOS 18.1 beta but was fixed for the final release: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764848 But now the issue came back on the latest iOS 18.2 beta. I have documented the new behavior in FB15668616 Any help is appreciated!

Ever since I updated the 18.1 I have noticed on both the Uber Driver app and Lyft Driver app that the banner notifications are on a three second delay when a ride notification comes in. These banner notifications have previously shown up immediately when a ride comes in and now it’s anywhere from 3 to 5 seconds before you see them.

in the IOS18.1 release when using Apple Intelligence the notifications will be delayed around 10 second. Even without the notification summary turned on. It seems to be a system-wide bug, anyway to fix it or bypass it.

Hi, since a while I constantly receive the warning above and there is nothing to find on my Mac (Air M2) nor by searching the web. MacOS 15.1 Anybody an idea what this app/service is all about?

Dear all, I am seeking your assistance to finalize my registration in the Apple Developer Program. I have attempted to register multiple times using valid payment cards, but I received an email stating that my request would be processed within two business days, and that $99 would be deducted. However, two days have passed without any progress. I am unsure if the issue is related to using my friends' cards, despite their validity. In my last attempt, I provided a photo of my friend's ID card and his passport as proof of his consent for the deduction. Could the discrepancy between the cardholder's information and my registration details be the cause of the problem? Thank you.

Apple Watch doesn't vibrate for notifications version: 11.1 help please

I am developing an app which makes use of actionable notifications. On my code (the func userNotificationCenter function), I need to read my users from the local storage on the iPhone: let query: [String: Any] = [ kSecAttrService as String: "uio-auth", kSecAttrAccount as String: "users", kSecClass as String: kSecClassGenericPassword, kSecReturnData as String: true ] var result: AnyObject? SecItemCopyMatching(query as CFDictionary, &result) let ref = result as? Data But when the same code execute when I tap on the notification on the Apple Watch, it doesn't fetch anything. It now occurs to to me: Does it mean that when an actionable notification programmed for the iOS is displayed on the Apple Watch, it tries to access its own storage, and not the iPhone? If so, is there a nice way to pass the values to the watchOS so that when the callback for the actionable notifications run, it has then the data it needs?
