Overview

I am implementing pan and zoom features for an app using a custom USB camera device, in iPadOS. I am using an update function (shown below) to apply transforms for scale and translation but they are not working. By re-enabling the animation I can see that the scale translation seems to initially take effect but then the image animates back to its original scale. This all happens in a fraction of a second but I can see it. The translation transform seems to have no effect at all. Printing out the value of AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer.transform before and after does show that my values have been applied. private func updateTransform() { #if false // Disable default animation. CATransaction.begin() CATransaction.setDisableActions(true) defer { CATransaction.commit() } #endif // Apply the transform. logger.debug("\(String(describing: self.videoPreviewLayer.transform))") let transform = CATransform3DIdentity let translate = CATransform3DTranslate(transform, translationX, translationY, 0) let scale = CATransform3DScale(transform, scale, scale, 1) videoPreviewLayer.transform = CATransform3DConcat(translate, scale) logger.debug("\(String(describing: self.videoPreviewLayer.transform))") } My question is this, how can I properly implement pan/zoom for an AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer? Or even better, if you see a problem with my current approach or understand why the transforms I am applying do not work, please share that information.

In our implementation of Platform SSO, we would like to show custom UI in both the beginDeviceRegistration call as well as the beginUserRegistration call. It works fine in the beginDeviceRegistration call when we use presentRegistrationViewController. When we try to apply the same logic in beginUserRegistration, the ViewController's view.window object is nil and thus using it to house our custom UI doesn't work. I'm not sure if this is an implementation flaw on our part or if presentRegistrationViewController is only intended to be used in beginDeviceRegistration. The call is only mentioned in the context of registering devices, which makes us wonder if it is limited to that. Any help would be appreciated!

Hello. I am trying to enable Metal to take advantage of SwiftUI+Shaders in an existing app. In my target, I have added metal.framework, added a .metal file and confirmed I see the Metal Compiler option in my Build Settings. When I add a colorEffect modifier using the ShaderLibrary, the object renders black. I confirmed this is working in a new project so I suspect there are more steps required to get this working in an existing application.

Hi, I'm trying to get IMessage to display a video as part of a link preview with specific dimensions. The video appears, however the dimensions are incorrect. I've set the following tags: <meta property="og:video:url" content={url} /> <meta property="og:video:secure_url" content={url} /> <meta property="og:video:width" content="600" /> <meta property="og:video:height" content="982" /> The video in question is 600x982, 1.1MB in size and an mp4. I've also tried setting the og dimensions to 390x736 since a separate working example url has those, but no luck. Does anyone know what may be the issue?

I'm trying to read meta information from MXF files without success. I get an empty AVAsset array. I saw that there are mentions of "MTRegisterProfessionalVideoWorkflowFormatReaders". But there is absolutely no documentation. I don't know where to look. Has anyone encountered this? Please help with any information

So in looking over the app review guidelines, where it reads, "They may not auto-launch or have other code run automatically at startup or login without consent" We currently present a popup to inform the user if they want to connect to our server. My question is, are we able to provide the user with a way to turn off this startup prompt (thus improving speed of app startup) It would be located within our apps own settings page, upon which the user would have the choice to turn off or leave on this startup prompt. Or would this go against apple's policy in any way?

During last night, Apple allegedly pushed new XProtect antivirus signatures. After that, I think XProtect found the malware Pirrit in my Xcode Simulator files from Apple. I'm not kidding. This is an excerpt from the XProtect log (notice the NSFilePath!): 2024-05-01 07:54:12.951 Pirrit 👉 no status_message report time 0.0000000 {"action":"report","path":{"modificationDate":732892166.8634809,"path":"\/Library\/Developer\/CoreSimulator\/Images\/1944D6AF-4D6B-4877-8F87-924EB62FC984.dmg","creationDate":732892166.8634809},"status":{"description":"Error deleting path: \/Library\/Developer\/CoreSimulator\/Images\/1944D6AF-4D6B-4877-8F87-924EB62FC984.dmg: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=513 \"“1944D6AF-4D6B-4877-8F87-924EB62FC984.dmg” couldn’t be removed because you don’t have permission to access it.\" UserInfo={NSUserStringVariant=(\n Remove\n), NSFilePath=\/Library\/Developer\/CoreSimulator\/Images\/1944D6AF-4D6B-4877-8F87-924EB62FC984.dmg, NSUnderlyingError=0x1247612a0 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=1 \"Operation not permitted\"}}.","causedBy":[],"code":24}} 2024-05-01 07:54:13.197 Pirrit message not in JSON format 2024-05-01 07:54:41.125 Pirrit ⚠️ FailedToRemediate time 0.0000280 {"caused_by":[],"execution_duration":2.8014183044433594e-05,"status_code":24,"status_message":"FailedToRemediate"} XProtect also detects another threat on my machine: 2024-05-01 10:09:58.530 BadGacha ⚠️ ThreatDetected time 0.0000120 {"caused_by":[],"execution_duration":1.2040138244628906e-05,"status_message":"ThreatDetected","status_code":21} Please check your XProtect logs. There is an app that can display these logs out there. Or you can use the system logging facility. I have deleted the whole Developer folders (both at / and ~) and reinstalled Xcode (not Beta). But a new XProtect scan finds Pirrit in the Core Simulator file again! I have also attempted to install an anti virus solution (Malwarebytes), but it does not detect anything. I am wondering if we should get someone from Apple involved. I am also wondering if I should reset my whole machine… Is anyone else seeing these issues in the XProtect log? It is unclear at this time whether there really is a Pirrit malware in Apple's Xcode simulator files or if there is some issue with XProtect like a faulty signature. Don't panic.

Hi, do you guys have any idea why this code block doesn't run properly on a designed iPad app running on a vision pro simulator? I'm trying to add a hovering effect to a view in UIKit but it just doesn't enter this if statement. if #available(iOS 17.0, visionOS 1.0, *) { someView.hoverStyle = .init(effect: .automatic) }

Hello, i am trying to record logs in my network extension class, and then i want to read it in my application class, i.e. viewModel. However, i am unable to read the data. I have tried different ways like UserDefaults, Keychain, FileManager, NotificationCenter and CoreData. I have also used Appgroups but still there is blocker for reading data outside the scope of Extension class.

I am using the DeviceActivityMonitor eventDidReachThreshold functionality, but it became very unreliable on the iOS 17.5 beta. Anyone experiencing similar problems? Any known workarounds?

does anyone have an example of the decrypted payload for an interac payment would look like? Couldnt find an example within the apple documentation

Hi guys, I observed the infinite connection callback(inSelector) for some Bluetooth devices (such as an iPhone SE or Mac Mini) even when I powered off them. However, the issue is not reproducible easily. (IOBluetoothUserNotification *)registerForConnectNotifications:(id)observer selector:(SEL)inSelector ble.txt Looks like there are many -[CBManager xpcConnectionDidReceiveMsg:args:] calls when the issue occurs based on the sample, so it might be caused by the XPC connection with bluetoothd? Has anyone else experienced this issue, or any workaround for it? such as should I restart the bluetoothd?

How to set the scale unit of an Entity in Reality Composer Pro, for example, if the scale value is 1 meter, then when this Entity is placed in RealityView, the displayed size will be 1 meter If the unit of scale cannot be set in Reality Composer Pro, is there a way to specify the unit of scale in the code so that the Entity can be displayed in meters when added to RealityView Thank you

I'm trying to release my first app on the app store. It's an app that connects to an Internet of Things device over bluetooth. As such, I am unable to simulate the device to showcase the workflows. The only device I have access to is an iphone 15 pro. I received the feedback on my app submission: The 6.7-inch iPhone and 5.5-inch iPhone screenshots do not show the actual app in use in the majority of the screenshots. Upload new screenshots that accurately reflect the app in use on each of the supported devices. How can i get these screenshots ? Do i seriously have to buy these devices ? TIA, Ringo

Note: I have also tried moving the .so file to /usr/lib/pam but it failed even after disabling SIP.

Hi everyone, I'm encountering an issue with my iOS device not connecting to Xcode after updating to iOS 17.4. Even after trying various troubleshooting steps, including downloading Xcode 15.4 Beta, the problem persists. Troubleshooting Steps Taken: Restarted my Mac. Untrusted and re-trusted the iOS device. Restarted the iOS device. Ran the command defaults write com.apple.dt.Xcode DVTEnableCoreDevice enabled in Terminal and restarted Xcode. Additional Information: I've checked for any available updates for both Xcode and my iOS device, but none are available. There haven't been any recent changes or updates to my development environment prior to encountering this issue. My iOS device version is 17.4, and my MacOS version is Sonoma 14.4.1. Error Messages: There are no specific error messages displayed. The devices simply do not recognize each other when attempting to connect via Xcode. I would greatly appreciate any assistance or suggestions on how to resolve this issue. Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm trying to build my Expo app. I already built it for Android, but now I'm struggling to create a release on iOS to upload on TestFlight. I have the apple developer account of my university, and they added our bundle ID there(I'm not an admin). When I try to build with EAS, it requires a p12 file. So, I tried to generate it in this way: From Keychain Access I created a CSR(by adding my mail and name) and then on Apple Developers I uploaded it(Certificates > +), so I downloaded a .cer file I opened the .cer on Keychain Access and I dragged it under "login" section From there I exported the p12 file But that p12 gives me always this error when I run npx eas build --platform ios : Provided Distribution Certificate is no longer valid on Apple's server after submitting the p12 file on eas console. Can someone help us? Thanks in advance for your availability :)

I have a custom rotor that changes the skim speed of the skim forward/backward feature of my audio player. The rotor works, but it's always playing an end-of-list sound. Here is the code: // Member variables private let accessibilitySeekSpeeds: [Double] = [10, 30, 60, 180] // seconds private var accessibilitySeekSpeedIndex: Int = 0 func seekSpeedRotor() -> UIAccessibilityCustomRotor { UIAccessibilityCustomRotor(name: "seek speed") { [weak self] predicate in guard let self = self else { return nil } let speeds = accessibilitySeekSpeeds switch predicate.searchDirection { case .previous: accessibilitySeekSpeedIndex = (accessibilitySeekSpeedIndex - 1 + speeds.count) % speeds.count case .next: accessibilitySeekSpeedIndex = (accessibilitySeekSpeedIndex + 1) % speeds.count @unknown default: break } // Return the currently selected speed as an accessibility element let accessibilityElement = UIAccessibilityElement(accessibilityContainer: self) let currentSpeed = localizedDuration(seconds: speeds[accessibilitySeekSpeedIndex]) accessibilityElement.accessibilityLabel = currentSpeed + " seek speed" UIAccessibility.post(notification: .announcement, argument: currentSpeed + " seek speed") return UIAccessibilityCustomRotorItemResult(targetElement: accessibilityElement, targetRange: nil) } } The returned accessibility element isn't read out, and instead an end-of-list sound is played. I can announce the change manually using UIAccessibility.post, but it still plays the end-of-list sound. How can I prevent the rotor from playing the end-of-list sound?

When setting a custom pinImage on a CPPointOfInterest the anchor point is in the center of the image, the default pin is positioned so that the bottom of the pin is at the point on the map as expected In an attempt to resolve this issue we have modified our custom pin images in code to offset them to add transparency so that the bottom of the pin locates correctly on the map This however has introduced issues with how CarPlay resizes the icons, we are of course correctly utilising the carTraitCollection to get the information we need for the screen scale of the CarPlay device and using that in the UIGraphicsImageRendererFormat Is there a way to correctly set the anchor point of a custom pinImage on CPPointOfInterest?
