Hi everyone, I’m planning to develop a cross-platform PDF viewer app for iOS and macOS that will read PDFs from local storage and cloud services (Google Drive, iCloud, WorkDrive, etc.). The app should be read-only and display both the PDF content and its metadata (author, title, creation date, etc.). Key Features: View PDFs: Local and remote (cloud storage integration). Display metadata: Title, author, page count, etc. Cloud integration: Google Drive, iCloud, Zoho WorkDrive, etc. Read-only mode: No editing features, just viewing. Questions: Xcode Template: Should I use the Document App or Generic App template for this? PDF Metadata: Any built-in libraries for extracting PDF metadata in a read-only app? Performance: Any advice or documentation on handling large PDFs or cloud fetching efficiently? Thanks in advance for any advice or resources!

We applied for Location Push Entitlement on June. It has been several months since then but we still got not any results (either passed or rejected). Can anyone tell us what's going on?

Hi! We use to have several workspaces for our SDKs, one of them containing a test application. Everything worked fine. We decided to "merge" all SDKs in one workspace. I create a new workspace, added all SDKs and application inside and made all the required changes. Everything's good, we can generate our XCFramework and run the test application on the simulator. But when I archive the application, it is now exported in an "Other" section of the organizer instead of the original app (bundles identifiers are the same, already checked). I compared with FileMerge the xcproject files from before and after the merge, there is no significant difference between the 2. I compared also the xcarchive folders, and it seems that the archive is now missing the ApplicationProperties key inside. If I add it manually, I can now generate an ipa or send it to testflight. I checked with ChatGPT (just in case), but everything it asked me to check was fine (bundle ids, bundle versions and build number, Bundle os type in info.plist, custom xcconfig (same issue without them)). I'm pretty stuck here :-/ Thanks for your help

I have defined a method appendString method in a NSMuatableAttributedString category like this: @implementation NSMutableAttributedString (HTML) // appends a plain string extending the attributes at this position - (void)appendString:(NSString *)string { NSParameterAssert(string); NSUInteger length = [self length]; ... And this method is worked well in iOS17 and before . But when it cames iOS18 . this appendString will not be called. So I doubt maybe there is a system-defined appendString already. So I write a demo in empty project to print all the NSMuatableAttributedString method in iOS18 like these: @interface ViewController () @end @implementation ViewController void printNSStringCategories() { unsigned int count; Class nsStringClass = [NSMutableAttributedString class]; // 获取所有的方法 Method *methods = class_copyMethodList(nsStringClass, &count); for (unsigned int i = 0; i < count; i++) { SEL selector = method_getName(methods[i]); NSString *methodName = NSStringFromSelector(selector); NSLog(@"NSMutableAttributedString method: %@", methodName); } free(methods); } - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; // Do any additional setup after loading the view. printNSStringCategories(); } And test it in my iPhone (iOS18.2) , the log will printed NSMutableAttributedString method: appendString:withAttributes: NSMutableAttributedString method: cr_appendStorage:fromRange: NSMutableAttributedString method: cr_appendString: NSMutableAttributedString method: appendString:withAttributes: NSMutableAttributedString method: appendString: So it seems a appendString: is aleady defined in system SDK . But the weird thing is when I run this code in the Xcode simulator (iOS18.1) this appendString: will not print . 1 Is it a bug of SDK ? because the appendString: only exist in device-build , and not exist in simulator-build? two more furthur question: 2.1 if the SDK contains appendString: already , why the appendString: defined in my category not cause the duplicate symbol error when compile 2.2 As the question 2.1 said , there maybe same symbols in runtime . Is there any way to find the framework/library which defined those same-name symbols ? (e.g: there are two appendString:withAttributes: in the log , I want to find the two places define each appendString:withAttributes: exactly)

I am developing an access controller RF (NFC). I know that the ADP developer account can only handle NFC Tags. Can I use NFC AID and HCE in ADEP? ADEP supports hotel card keys, employee badges, etc. Is it NFC? Or is it NFC+BLE?

Does anyone know a workaround for this issue during downloads? Predictive Code Completion Model Failed -- There was an error processing the asset. I have tried installing the latest Xcode 16.1 and 16.2beta2, and both fail the same way. It has not been resolved for 2 days, so I don't think it is temporary server issue. I also tried 2 different network providers and a hotspot as related posts with different details mentioned. Details: The operation couldn’t be completed.

The problem is that when building the application with Debug mode on Xcode 16.1, the dSYM files fail to upload to Crashlytics. It worked in latest Xcode 15 version. The workaround is to disable Debug Dylib Support in the target's Build Settings. However, this causes SwiftUI previews to stop working. Reproducing the issue Set ENABLE_DEBUG_DYLIB=YES for build options Build the application in Xcode 16.1 Firebase SDK Version 11.4.0 Xcode Version 16.1 Installation Method Swift Package Manager Firebase Version 11.5.0 Relevant Log Output warning: (arm64) /Users/dustin/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/MyAppName-cicejndcecececfe/Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator/MyAppName.app/ MyAppName empty dSYM file detected, dSYM was created with an executable with no debug info. The warning seems like is from XCode/lldb compiler rather than Crashlytics (https://lldb.llvm.org/cpp_reference/SymbolFileDWARF_8cpp_source.html line655). This is probably something on Apple side, Crashlytics only consumes dSYM which is generated from Xcode.

--- This post is easier to read with BBEdit and C++ colouring.--- We get strange problems with breakpoints appearing after migration (MacBook x86_64 Sequoia to Mac M3 arm64 Sequoia). Context We have kept our app on the MacBook and experimented no problems. We use clang++ and lldb. Xcode is installed but we use only CommandLineTools (no XCode project) -- and git on our lab forge. After using the Apple migration tool, we got many problems in compiling and link-edit, in particular for dylibs. We uninstalled all these tools and reinstalled them, using Homebrew for llvm and lld, and from AppleStore for Xcode. We also added to our CPPFLAGS -arch arm64 -w -g -O0. We use 'make' recursively (in principle, 0 or 1 Makefile per folder.

I'm confused by documentation and information I found regarding compatibility between versions of Xcode and macOS. The site https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/ is listing "Minimum OS required". To my understanding it means "this particular version of macOS and all later/newer versions". Also release notes for Xcode are consistently stating "Xcode xx.x. requires a Mac running macOS yy.yy.y or later." But I also found statements like " In general, new versions of macOS will not run old versions of Xcode." in this forum, see https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/760737, which is the opposite to "requires macOS version X or later". I'm also experiencing issues when trying to run Xcode 12.4 on macOS 14.5 (Sonoma), means XCode is not running. It would be great if some of Apple Engineers here would shed some light on it :-) Many thanks in advance! Cheers, Elena

Hi, I need to pass the launch arguments through xcodebuild command. Is there a way to do it? I know we can edit scheme and add launch argument but it needs to be added to through command line. P.S: I'm using azure devops @Xcode5 to build and sign the .ipa xcodebuild -sdk iphoneos -configuration Debug -workspace my.xcworkspace -scheme myScheme clean CODE_SIGNING_ALLOWED=NO -launchArgument "MyLaunchArguments"

Couple of days ago I installed ios 18.2 beta update and now my iphone 15 pro drains battery and overheats like hell. It is difficult to touch. and as i plug out my charger, the battery drains very fast (30% to O% in 10 minutes with no literally no use) To note, my battery health is 100% with around 176 battery cycles and i always use original apple 20W charger and cable. I have even changed the charger to a new original apple 20W charger and the issue persists. I have reset it but still the same happens. so it is lying dead for 2 days because i cannot charge it because of extreme heating. I got it checked at apple authorised service center as mentioned on apple website, they said they would reinstall the software in warranty. today they said they said the issue persists after sofware reinstallation and saying it is hardware thing. What should i do??

Hi Team, How can I share info beetween two differnt App. What king of approach should I use. Thanks in advance. In my case I whant to share a token or an string like "GM-8090"

I'm encountering an issue while trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program using the mobile app. Every time I attempt to proceed, I receive the following error message: "There may be an issue with your account that needs to be resolved before you can continue." I have verified my account information and followed all the necessary steps. I sent an email to Apple, but I haven’t received a response for several days. I’d be grateful for any help if anyone else has experienced this issue.

I've been developing an app for macOS for some time. As I've been approaching the app's final development stages, I decided to try Instruments as I've suspected a memory leak was occurring, since my app's memory usage slowly grows over time. Instruments has found one leak, and I've spent considerable time trying to find the cause. Long story short, I've ended up with just an EmptyView() and Instruments were still showing a leak. I've tried creating a new project with a placeholder "Hello, world!" text, and Instruments were still detecting a leak. Am I doing something wrong here? Maybe I'm not using Instruments correctly? Or is this a bug? My Instruments version is 16.0, macOS Sequoia 15.1.

I created a PointsOfInterestSearch (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/pointsofinterestsearch) on the frontend using MapKit JS: const poiSearch = new window.mapkit.PointsOfInterestSearch({ center: new mapkit.Coordinate(userLocation.lat, userLocation.lng), radius: 10000, }); poiSearch.search((error, results) => { console.log("Length of poiSearch:", results.places.length); results.places.forEach((place) => { console.log("Name:", place.name); }); }); The length of results.places is 20. Trying it with a bigger radius also still results in 20. The docs for PointsOfInterestSearchResponse shows only a places (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/mapkitjs/pointsofinterestsearchresponse) and no options for pagination. How can I paginate the rest of the results?
