I would like to write a driver that supports our custom USB-C connected device, which provides a serial port interface. USBSerialDriverKit looks like the solution I need. Unfortunately, without a decent sample, I'm not sure how to accomplish this. The DriverKit documentation does a good job of telling me what APIs exist but it is very light on semantic information and details about how to use all of these API elements. A function call with five unexplained parameters just is that useful to me. Does anyone have or know of a resource that can help me figure out how to get started?

I've tried on multiple occasions to add a message on to the request form for a vendor ID, but it always comes back with just the one default. I read in another post that they got it done through the Feedback Assistant, but that hasn't worked for me. Does anyone have any other ideas? Between us and our parent company, I need three vendor IDs.

Hi Team , I want to create a system where i can mirror the iPhone screen connected through USB and control it from the web browser. can anyone help me ? Thanks , Mukta

I am getting an unexpected crash from IOService::Create() when attempting to create a new user-client. The crash is a nullptr exception in OSCopyInObjects(). The last call from my code was IOService::Create(). As far as I can tell, all the input parameters to Create() are correct, and the Info.plist is has the correct key and class information - indeed, if I corrupt these I get an error status return rather than a crash. Any suggestions as to what could be causing this? I suspect that the problem may be related from a change in the underlying application that is creating the user client. This was modified from a standard app to a daemon, following the advice here: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/signing-a-daemon-with-a-restricted-entitlement. However, it is the driver that crashes - not the host opening the user client.

Hi Everybody, Follow Communicating between a DriverKit extension and a client app to migrate our kext to dext.

i tried opening iMovie for the first time on my 2017 Macbook Air but i get an error saying that iMovie is too new to my mac but i was trying to run the built in one it says i need to downgrade it on the appstore but there is no option to downgrade

Run on Xcode Unchecked Scheme -> Run -> 'Debug excitable' is fine. But, I need the debug log, how to fix?

Two apps were built by different teams for the same account. One app disabled the network permission, and the other app could not access the network

I have a driver project where I'm opening and closing a connection to a custom driver. If I do what I think I need to be doing to unmap the memory, when I try to open the service again, it fails. If I skip the step where I do that unmapping, the service opens successfully. If I call unmap() before trying to call openConnection() again, it will fail with a -308 error return code. If I skip that call to unmap(), it works and I'm able to communicate with my device. Here's the code where I open the service: public func openConnection() throws { guard !isOpen else { return } // Open device var connection: io_connect_t = IO_OBJECT_NULL var result = IOServiceOpen(device, mach_task_self_, 0, &connection) if result != kIOReturnSuccess { NSLog("Failed opening device with error: 0x%08x.\n", result); throw NSError.cdc_kernelReturnErrorWithError(result) } defer { IOConnectRelease(connection) } if device == IO_OBJECT_NULL || connection == IO_OBJECT_NULL { throw NSError.cdc_kernelReturnErrorWithError(result) } let receiveDataMappedMemory = ClientDriverMappedMemory(connection: connection, memoryType: MappedMemoryType_ReceiveDataBuffer) try receiveDataMappedMemory.map() let transmitDataMappedMemory = ClientDriverMappedMemory(connection: connection, memoryType: MappedMemoryType_TransmitDataBuffer) try transmitDataMappedMemory.map() // Setup async notification IONotificationPortSetDispatchQueue(dataReceivedPort, dataReceivedQueue) let callbackPort = IONotificationPortGetMachPort(dataReceivedPort) let input = DataStruct(foo: 0, bar: 0) var output = DataStruct(foo: 0, bar: 0) var outputSize = MemoryLayout<DataStruct>.size // Trampoline to C function because I don't quite know how to make this work in Swift result = setupCallback(self, connection, callbackPort, input, &output, &outputSize) if result != kIOReturnSuccess { NSLog("Error registering async callback with driver: \(result)"); throw NSError.cdc_kernelReturnErrorWithError(result) } self.connection = connection self.receivedDataMappedMemory = receiveDataMappedMemory self.transmitDataMappedMemory = transmitDataMappedMemory } map() and unmap() functions: - (BOOL)mapWithError:(NSError **)error { error = error ?: &(NSError * __autoreleasing){ nil }; kern_return_t result = IOConnectMapMemory64(self.connection, self.memoryType, mach_task_self(), &_address, &_size, kIOMapAnywhere); if (result != kIOReturnSuccess) { *error = [NSError cdc_kernelReturnErrorWithError:result]; return NO; } self.mapped = YES; return YES; } - (BOOL)unmapWithError:(NSError **)error { error = error ?: &(NSError * __autoreleasing){ nil }; kern_return_t result = IOConnectUnmapMemory64(self.connection, self.memoryType, mach_task_self(), _address); if (result != kIOReturnSuccess) { *error = [NSError cdc_kernelReturnErrorWithError:result]; return NO; } self.mapped = NO; return YES; } Any insights? What all should I be doing to close the service? Why would the unmapping create this issue or what else could the -308 error be indicated has gone wrong?

I am trying to open the CommunicationControl class IOUSBHostInterface in my USB driver, but it only seems to open on iPad Airs and not iPad Pros. I'm calling ivars->interruptInterface->Open(this, 0, NULL); After retrieving the interruptInterface from the device's InterfaceIterator. I try and open this, but on iPad Pros it returns kIOReturnNotOpen. I've tried closing and reopening the IOUSBHostDevice, closing and reopening the Interface, AbortDeviceRequests before opening, etc. but it just seems to work on iPad Air and not iPad Pro. I've tried on both iPadOS 17.6.1 and 18.2 Has anyone else seen this?
