My app went to review and apple rejected my app with crash logs as attached below. When i check the same, the app was running fine on my system. Couldn't figure it out the actual reason for crash. crashlog-E841C543-6D57-453B-9E3D-7106DF9D5131.txt

I have an app that uses Swift 4.2. I am going to update the Swift Compiler Language to Swift 5. But I have some confusion after my test. I was able to run async/await code when using Xcode 15 with the version set to Swift 4.2, and it was okay. But async/await code was developed in Swift5.5. Why it is okay? Is it related to the Xocde Swift version? And if I use Swift Compiler version 4.2 to run async/await code,what problems might there be ?

We've encountered a problem that only occurs on the iPhone 15 Pro Max running the 17.4.1 system. Specifically, when we are operating an app, the phone suddenly goes to a black screen, then the system's loading animation appears, and after the animation ends, the lock screen page appears. The whole phenomenon looks like the phone has restarted, but we haven't found any panic full files in the system logs. Therefore, we are at a loss as to how to solve this problem. Can you offer some assistance? This is a video of the issue occurring：https://watch.wave.video/yg2Oph4n4bfdMQeF

Hello, I need help understanding how to manage the privacyInfo.xcprivacy file for apps. Do I need to include privacy details from SDKs in the app’s own file? For instance, if an SDK’s file mentions "Privacy Tracking Enabled: YES," does the app need the same setting? Also, if the SDK lists "Device ID" as a Collected Data Type, should the app list it too? I thought it was best to keep the app’s privacy file just about the app itself and not add SDK information to avoid making things too complex. But I can’t find clear rules on this. Can someone clarify this for me? Thanks!

We’re experiencing an issue with Apple SSO/OAuth that has started happening recently (first encountered about a week ago, but we’re not sure if that’s actually the first instance). When a NEW registration is received (including when a user unlinks their “login with apple” from their settings), we’re not getting the email or fullName despite our scopes including them. When we try with a brand new iCloud account that we know hasn’t been used on our service, we get the email but still no name. Has something changed recently in how we should be retrieving this data? We’re working with firebase and react-native, and it’s happening on both web and native. There’s nothing that’s changed auth-wise on our end. We did migrate subdomains but we updated them in the services section for private relay.

Hi, i was playing around with the honey app for iPad and came across this dialog that appeared to prompt me to enable permissions. How would i achieve this? The button when clicked toggled system permissions

Hi! I have a music app using AVAudioEngine. Right now, I have set it up to play multi channel tracks and show "Multichannel" in the volume controls. However, I am unable to figure out how to get it to use Dolby Atmos. Is there something that needs to be enabled? Is it even possible for AVAudioEngine? I saw some apps that are able of playing with Dolby Atmos, but they do not have EQ feature, so I'm guessing that they are not using AVAudioEngine.

Let's say I have an iOS app on the app store. Anyone can download and use it, but I would like to restrict the app from granting access to certain features to a select set of people I can personally vouch for. So, for example, to get access, the app send email to me, you have to convince me I know you, and if you do, I send you back some kind of token string which you can enter into the app. However, I'd like for that token to not be shareable, and to be locked to that device. Is there any kind of persistent ID associated with a device that I can use to tie the token I grant to that persistent ID? Or can someone suggest a way that once I trust a user, I can give them a token which will cannot be shared to anyone else? Also, does anyone know if restricting access to app features in this way is any kind of issue with regards to the app review process? The app itself is free, and there are no in-app purchases. I simply don't want certain features of the app (which end up sending push notifications) to get abused.

I'm trying to get voiceover to announce accessibility label for UIActivityViewController (for a share sheet that pops up on clicking share button) before the focus goes to one of activity items inside the UIActivityViewController. In order to achieve the above behavior, I'm just assigning accessibilityLabel for UIActivityViewController's view. But looks like I'm not able to override the default accessibility implementation of UIActivityViewController. Is there any way we could override the existing accessibility behavior of UIActivityViewController and announce accessibility label for share options? Thanks in advance!!

Hi, I'm product designer and I'm looking for HIG for layout recomendations, currently I can't find anything about recommended numbers for spacing/paddings etc.. Did Apple remove this and why?

I've been trying to follow the "Supporting Continuity Camera in Your Mac App" article to implement the "Import from iPhone or iPad" menu for my MacOS app. I've been able to replicate most of the article in a test AppKit application but cannot do the same in my SwiftUI application. I'm not sure how to get the "NSMenuItemImportFromDeviceIdentifier" identifier into a SwiftUI Menu or create a NSMenu with a NSMenuItem for a SwiftUI app. I'm also not sure how to handle receiving the image in the SwiftUI environment. Any advice you might have is appreciated. Thanks!

Hello Apple Community, I am reaching out to express my frustration with the ongoing issue I've encountered while attempting to transition my account information from an individual to an organization account. Despite diligently providing my business' D-U-N-S and relevant business details multiple times, I continually receive the automated response promising a resolution within one business day. However, it has now been well over a month since my initial request, and the issue persists. I am seeking assistance from fellow developers who may have experienced similar challenges or have insights on navigating this process successfully. Any guidance or support would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hello! We have an app that utilises the SpeechKit Framework. Especially the local on-device speech recognition for the audio files with the user selected language. Up until recently it worked as expected. However after updating one of our testing device to iOS 17.4.1 we found out that the local recognition on it stopped working completely. The error that we are getting has code 102 at its localised description reads: "Failed to access assets". That sounds just like a rear though known issue in previous iOS versions. The solution was inconvenient for our users but at least it worked – they were to go to the System settings and tweak with the dictation setting in the keyboard section. Right now no tweaks of this sort appear to help us fix the situation. We even tried to do the setting reset of the device (not the factory reset though). The error persists. it appears one one of our devices 100% of the time, halting the local recognition process. It sometimes shows on other devices for some particular languages too, but it does not show for other languages. As it is a UX breaking bug for our app, today I decided to check the logs of the Console app at the moment of the recognition attempt. There are lots of errors with code 1101 which from our research appear to be the general notifications about some local recognition setup problems. Removing the lines about the 1101 error from the log we have some interesting stuff remaining, that is (almost) never mentioned in any of the searchable webpages in the Internet. I assume they are the private API calls that the SpeechKit Framework executes under the hood: default localspeechrecognition -[UAFAssetSet assetNamed:]_block_invoke 9067C4F1-0B29-4A57-85DD-F8740DF7C344: No assets in asset set com.apple.siri.understanding default localspeechrecognition -[UAFAssetSet assetNamed:] 9067C4F1-0B29-4A57-85DD-F8740DF7C344: Returning com.apple.siri.asr.assistant from source none error localspeechrecognition -[SFEntitledAssetManager _assetWithAssetConfig:regionId:] No asset found with name: com.apple.siri.asr.assistant, asset set: com.apple.siri.understanding, usage: <private> error localspeechrecognition +[LSRConnection modelRootWithLanguage:clientID:modelOverrideURL:returningAssetType:error:] Fetch asset error (null) error localspeechrecognition -[LSRConnection prepareRecognizerWithLanguage:recognitionOverrides:modelOverrideURL:anyConfiguration:task:clientID:error:] modelRoot is nil (null) default OurApp [0x113e96d40] invalidated because the current process cancelled the connection by calling xpc_connection_cancel() Looks like there are some language-model related problems that appeared after the device was updated to 17.4.1. The Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Dictation Languages appear to be configured correctly, the dictation toggle is On, we tried tweaking all these setting, rebooting the device and resetting the device settings. However the log lines still tell us that there is something wrong with the private resources of the SpeechKit framework. We are very concerned as the speech recognition is the core of out application's logic. And we don't understand what is the scale of possible impact of such a faulty behaviour (rare occurrences / some users / all users?) and how we can fix it to provide our users with the desired behaviour.

We're developing our first App Clip, and having issues with accessing the keychain. At the moment, we've been running the App Clip from Xcode with the environment variable, _XCAppClipURL, set to a URL the app clip responds to. This is the failing call: var addquery: [CFString: Any] = [ kSecClass: kSecClassGenericPassword, kSecAttrLabel: "secretKey", kSecAttrAccount: userID] if let accessGroup = accessGroup { addquery[kSecAttrAccessGroup] = accessGroup } SecItemDelete(addquery as CFDictionary) addquery[kSecAttrAccessible] = kSecAttrAccessibleAfterFirstUnlockThisDeviceOnly addquery[kSecUseDataProtectionKeychain] = true addquery[kSecValueData] = key let status = SecItemAdd(addquery as CFDictionary, nil) guard status == errSecSuccess else { throw MercuryError(message: "Failed storing db encryption key: \(status)") } The status that is reported has the value -34018, which I haven't tried to compare to the massive list of constants. The trouble seems to be kSecAttrAccessGroup, to which we're our App Group value, e.g. group.com.bundle.different.string as shown below. Both full app and clip belong to this group. We've also tried setting kSecAttrAccessGroup to the keychain access group setup for the full app, but we can't seem to add a keychain sharing entitlement to the app clip... at least not in the UI. So we're unsure if setting the param to this is supposed to work in this case. If instead we avoid setting kSecAttrAccessGroup altogether, the call to SecItemAdd succeeds in the App Clip. The full app seems to be able to later access the stored key. But this is less safe, right? Given that previous versions of the full app are currently using the App Group for this call, changing it would be a disruption for our users. For completeness, the full app works with the app group passed in or not as always. Setup Stuff Full App Bundle ID is something like: com.bundle.ident App Clip has the default suffix added: com.bundle.ident.Clip App Clip Entitlements: <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key> <array> <string>webcredentials:domain.com?mode=developer</string> <string>webcredentials:domain2.com?mode=developer</string> <string>applinks:domain.com?mode=developer</string> <string>applinks:domain2.com?mode=developer</string> </array> <key>com.apple.developer.parent-application-identifiers</key> <array> <string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)com.bundle.ident</string> </array> <key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> <array> <string>group.com.bundle.different.string</string> </array> </dict> I don't seem to be able to add the keychain-access-groups key to this one, but, given that we're scoping the keychain access to the App Group, it shouldn't matter(?). Relevant Full App Entitlements: <dict> <key>com.apple.developer.associated-domains</key> <array> <string>webcredentials:domain.com?mode=developer</string> <string>webcredentials:domain2.com?mode=developer</string> <string>applinks:domain.com?mode=developer</string> <string>applinks:domain2.com?mode=developer</string> </array> <key>com.apple.security.app-sandbox</key> <true/> <key>com.apple.security.application-groups</key> <array> <string>group.com.bundle.different.string</string> </array> <key>keychain-access-groups</key> <array> <string>$(AppIdentifierPrefix)com.bundle.third.string</string> </array> </dict> What's missing here is the com.apple.developer.associated-appclip-app-identifiers, but I understand that's added automatically when I archive, so that it shouldn't be relevant here.

I am really stuck. I uploaded my Mac Catalyst app. The binary passes validation beforehand. I submit for review. After being in "waiting for review" for a couple of minutes it is rejected with "invalid binary" and comes back with an email saying "ITMS-90053: This bundle is invalid - The bundle identifier is already in use by a different software package." The only app that is using the same bundle is the IOS version where I added the Mac platform.

Has anyone else been experiencing issues with the WeatherKit API recently? Since Saturday we've been seeing about 1.5% of our requests time out. Apple hasn't posted anything on their status page https://developer.apple.com/system-status/ and the issue doesn't seem to be getting any better.

Currently I am trying to create some shortcuts for my iOS 17 app. The AppIntent looks like this: class PostClass{ public init() { let url = URL(string: "http://myurl")! var request = URLRequest(url: url) request.httpMethod = "POST" struct Message: Encodable { let device_type: String } let message = Message( device_type: "device" ) let data = try! JSONEncoder().encode(message) request.httpBody = data request.setValue( "application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type" ) self.request = request } } var activateDevice = PostClass() @available(iOS 17, *) struct ActivateIntent: AppIntent { static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Activate" func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult { let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: activateDevice.request) { data, response, error in let statusCode = (response as! HTTPURLResponse).statusCode if statusCode == 200 { print("SUCCESS") } else { print("FAILURE") } } task.resume() return .result() } } Unfortunately, the shortcut throws an error after every second execution. I looked into the ips-file and saw the following traceback: Thread 2 Crashed: 0 Runner 0x1028ddd30 closure #1 in ActivateIntent.perform() + 388 1 CFNetwork 0x1a6f39248 0x1a6f2a000 + 62024 2 CFNetwork 0x1a6f57210 0x1a6f2a000 + 184848 3 libdispatch.dylib 0x1adced13c _dispatch_call_block_and_release + 32 4 libdispatch.dylib 0x1adceedd4 _dispatch_client_callout + 20 5 libdispatch.dylib 0x1adcf6400 _dispatch_lane_serial_drain + 748 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x1adcf6f64 _dispatch_lane_invoke + 432 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x1add01cb4 _dispatch_root_queue_drain_deferred_wlh + 288 8 libdispatch.dylib 0x1add01528 _dispatch_workloop_worker_thread + 404 9 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x201dd4f20 _pthread_wqthread + 288 10 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x201dd4fc0 start_wqthread + 8 Is there any way to locate the error with these information? Has it something to do with the fact that my code is not thread-safe? Or is there any internal bug? Grateful for any help, thanks in advance!

Hello, we recently added a build plugin to our swift package and we have a Xcode project that uses the swift package as a dependency and we build that Xcode project from the command line using xcodebuild build-for-testing. After we added that build plugin to the swift package, xcodebuild now fails and says this: If I remove that build plugin from the swift package then xcodebuild build-for-testing will build successfullly. It is also worth noting then when we run the xcodebuild build-for-testing command we pass in multiple -destination flags. If we pass one -destination flag then xcodebuild succeeds even with the build plugin. So it seems like the issue is around having multiple destination flags and a build plugin added. This sounds like a bug within xcodebuild. Any thoughts or ideas on why this isn't working would be helpful! Here is an example of what our full xcodebuild command looks like: xcodebuild build-for-testing -project “SomeProject” -scheme “SomeScheme” -configuration Debug -destination ‘SomeDestination1’ -destination ‘SomeDestination2’ -destination ‘SomeDestination3’ -disableAutomaticPackageResolution -onlyUsePackageVersionsFromResolvedFile -skipPackageUpdates -skipPackagePluginValidation -allowProvisioningUpdates DEVELOPMENT_TEAM=SomeTeam Thank you!
