I'm adding support for Genmoji to my app but it's unclear to me if this is something that should be called manually in code to insert an adaptive image glyph or if this is something that the system calls when the user inserts a Genmoji / adaptive image glyph object (ie. sticker) into the UITextView.

I have been using the QLPreviewController in an app for some time now and have always gotten a flurry of constraint warnings when it launches which I have ignored. I have looked at them and don't believe they are due to my code and the app seems to work.
Tried to attach a simple app that loads a ViewController with a single button that when pressed creates an object that generates and displays a CSV file via QLPreviewController but can't.
First warning:
Invalid content type identifier com.apple.pktransaction specified in extension com.apple.Passbook.QuicklookPreviewExtension
Second warning:
Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.
Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want.
Try this:
(1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect;
(2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it.
(Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints)

Hello,
I am building a web app using Mapkit JS, and have something up an running where I can add markers and annotate places with Place ID (I followed along with the WWDC24 video).
However occasionally, while I'm doing nothing on the browser, I get an runtime error with the following error trace (from developer tools in Chrome).
===
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'tint')
at get tint (mapkit.core.annotations.d43c86.js:2:97102)

It is completely random, and not a result of any browser / Map interaction.
Seems to be an issue in mapkit.core, and related to Place IDs.
Can anyone help with this?
The documentation doesn't state how to get the new APNs push token that is associated with a Live Activity that is started via an APNs push notification. I have been able to get the new token by listening to all instances of the Live Activities for my attribute type, but it makes me wonder how the "input-push-token" option for iOS 18 is supposed to work.
Is there another way to retrieve the newly created Live Activity push token when using "input-push-token"?
We are trying to build a video recording app using AVFoundation and AVCaptureDevice.
No custom settings are used like iso, exposure duration. All the settings are kept to auto.
But when video is captured using front camera and 1080x1920 dimensions, the video captured from the app and front native camera does not match.
In settings i have kept video setting as 30 fps 1080x1920.
The video captured from the app includes more area than the native app. Also some values like iso, exposure duration does not match.
So is there any way to capture video exactly same as native camera using AVFoundation and AVCaptureDevice.
I have attached screenshots from video for reference.

With the newest iPad Pro and iPad Air's, the front facing camera sits on the long horizontal edge, which is different from the previous version which had the camera on the shorter top edge. We have an app that needs to put a UI item near the camera. Is there a way of detecting where the front facing camera is on iOS?
I have tried doing simple resolution checks, i.e,
if width == ipadProWidth || width == ipadAirWidth {
do2024iPadProLayout()
} else {
doStandardiPadLayout()
}
But this doesn't feel like the nicest way to do this check, because it's liable to break moving forward, and theres the possibility Apple release more devices with the camera on the horizontal edge.
Any help here is appreciated!
I have created an iOS 18 Control Center Widget that launches my app. However I am not able to detect it in AppDelegate.swift. I have created custom scheme funRun://beginRun in Target => Info => URL Types URL Types setup in Xcode
This method in AppDelegate.swift does not fire at all and I get this error in console:
Failed to open URL runFun://beginRun: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-10814 "(null)" UserInfo={_LSLine=279, _LSFunction=-[_LSDOpenClient openURL:fileHandle:options:completionHandler:]}``
`
func application(_ app: UIApplication, open url: URL, options: [UIApplication.OpenURLOptionsKey : Any] = [:]) -> Bool {
// this does not fire
print("Scheme \(url.scheme)")
print("Host \(url.host)")
return true
}`
I tried this answer to no avail: iOS 18 Control Widget that opens a URL
Even adding EnvironmentValues().openURL(url) as suggested here did not help.
@MainActor
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & OpensIntent {
let url = URL(string: "funRun://beginRun")!
EnvironmentValues().openURL(url)
return .result(opensIntent: OpenURLIntent(url))
}
Here is my extension code: My goal is to detect the url string from the request, so I can decide which screen to launch from AppDelegate's open url method. When I test this with iOS 18 RC it does not work either in simulator or on real device
import AppIntents
import SwiftUI
import WidgetKit
@available(iOS 18.0, watchOS 11.0, macOS 15.0, visionOS 2.0, *)
struct StartRunControl: ControlWidget {
var body: some ControlWidgetConfiguration {
StaticControlConfiguration(
kind: "name.funRun.StartRun",
provider: Provider()
) { value in
ControlWidgetButton("Hello",
action: MyIntent()) { hi in
Label("Start", systemImage: "sun.min.fill")
}
}
.displayName("Start run")
.description("Opens a run screen.")
}
}
@available(iOS 18.0, watchOS 11.0, macOS 15.0, visionOS 2.0, *)
extension StartRunControl {
struct Provider: ControlValueProvider {
var previewValue: Bool {
false
}
func currentValue() async throws -> Bool {
let isRunning = true // Check if the timer is running
return isRunning
}
}
}
@available(iOS 18.0, watchOS 11.0, macOS 15.0, visionOS 2.0, *)
struct MyIntent: AppIntent {
static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "My Intent"
static var openAppWhenRun: Bool = true
init() {}
@MainActor
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & OpensIntent {
let url = URL(string: "funRun://beginRun")!
EnvironmentValues().openURL(url)
return .result(opensIntent: OpenURLIntent(url))
}
}
I even checked info.plist and it seems okay.
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleTypeRole</key>
<string>Editor</string>
<key>CFBundleURLName</key>

Does anyone know where the problem might be? Thanks!
I'm building a MacOS app which reads a lot of PDFs in the background. Some of these PDF's have an embedded font which is not installed on the system. In such cases the app shows a popup asking whether to Download or Skip the font. This seems to be a PDFKit behavior because I see the same behavior when I open the file in Preview (see screenshot)
This behavior is disruptive to the user experience and I'd like to be able to disable font downloads. However I don't see any option in the PDFKit API to do so. Any ideas?
My app needs to send iMessages with an attached data file. The view comes up modally and the user needs to press the send button. When the button is tapped the error occurs and the attachment and message is not delivered.
I have tried three implementations of UIViewControllerRepresentable for MFMessageComposeViewController that have worked for iOS 15 and 16, but not 17. If I make the simplest app to show the problem, it will reliably fail on all iOS versions tested.
If I remove the attachment, the message gets sent. In contrast, the equivalent UIViewControllerRepresentable for email works perfectly every time. After struggling for weeks to get it to work, I am beginning to believe this is a timing error in iOS. I have even tried unsuccessfully to include dispatch queue delays.
Has anybody else written a swiftUI based app that can reliably attach a file to an iMessage send?

I am looking to use the iOS share sheet in my app where the user can send an invite link to friends, however I want to limit the number of times they can do this.
Is it possible to limit the number of recipients who you can share an item using the share sheet, or if there any sort of post-feedback sent from the share sheet back to the app once the share sheet is closed?

In my Swift app for MacOS, I used to set the app icon in status bar with following logic.
If dark mode is enabled, white colour template icon
If light mode is enabled, black colour template icon
Until BigSur with this configuration, if the background wallpaper color was changed being in the same display mode, the status bar icon color used to change dynamically.
From Ventura onwards, it does not depend on the background colour anymore with same configuration in the code.
Can someone please help here?
Hi,
My iOS app shows more language with region codes than what I've selected in Xcode:
This is what I see in the language selection (simulator and device):
How can I remove all the language with region codes? I want to remove:
English (US)
Suomi (Suomi)
Deutsch (Deutschland)
Kalaallisut (Kalaallit Nunaat)
Norsk bokmål (Norge)
Thank you!
As the new feature is launched I also want to make user experience smoother in my app using the AccessorySetupKit. But my peripheral is not discoverable. But another ios device with same advertisement data is discoverable by AccessorySetupKit. I didn't find much information on the documents related to the third party connection. I'm not sure if the third party peripheral should be MFI supported or anything else is required.
Is there anything I'm missing here to fullfill the requirement, please let me know.
Below is the code i"m using to discover the peripheral. Once again iOS to iOS discovery is working, facing issue with third party peripheral is not discovering.
