I just purchased a new 2025 Honda Civic Hybrid sedan with the highest trim package. The staff at the dealership set CarPlay up to my iPhone 16 Pro, and all was operating perfectly. Then, last week, I started noticing random connectivity problems with it (ie: no sound from my audio apps, “not connected” being displayed on the dashboard displa, etc.) I tried to think of what had changed with my setup, and the only change was that I updated to the latest iOS update 18.2 I scheduled a service appointment with the Honda dealer in hopes that Apple and Honda can confirm a fix for this issue. I’ll try to attach an image from my car’s dashboard display as an example of an error message that isn’t resolved.

Subject/Title: Critical SKAdNetwork Attribution Failures (Bug Type: 237, Failure Type: 1201 in ASDErrorDomain) Issue Summary We are encountering repeated SKAdNetwork attribution failures (failureType: 1201 in ASDErrorDomain) for ad impression events processed through the ad network mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork. These failures are causing significant revenue losses, as ad impressions are not being properly attributed to installs. The issue occurs across multiple campaigns and involves both SKAdNetwork API 3.0 and 4.0, suggesting a systemic problem with attribution validation or network communication. This problem is critical as it disrupts advertisers’ ability to track conversions, optimize campaigns, and allocate budgets effectively. Technical Details Key Logs: Below are anonymized samples of the failed SKAdNetwork events: Log Sample 1 (Failure): { "bug_type": "237", "timestamp": "2025-01-07 22:49:15.00 -0500", "os_version": "iPhone OS 18.2.1 (22C161)", "roots_installed": 0, "incident_id": "78523BD9-1F58-4738-B526-8A8A63203214" } { "advertisementStoryId": "3D2E7EBB-1A57-4DF8-9375-2C465F423038", "apiVersion": "3.0", "eventType": "adImpression", "resultType": "finalized", "anonymous": true, "failureType": 1201, "failureDomain": "ASDErrorDomain", "clientEventId": "0F456623-584F-4913-BBD3-C3FD1219D104", "os": "iOS", "topic": "xp_amp_skad_perf", "adType": "app", "adNetworkId": "mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork", "eventTime": 1736305200000, "osBuildNumber": "22C161", "hardwareFamily": "iPhone", "api": "SKAdNetwork" } Log Sample 2 (Failure): { "bug_type": "237", "timestamp": "2025-01-07 22:49:15.00 -0500", "os_version": "iPhone OS 18.2.1 (22C161)", "roots_installed": 0, "incident_id": "0CBF612D-F0D9-449E-A34E-DE2DB92BEC0D" } { "advertisementStoryId": "946E568C-D2C1-478F-BFF3-4996C48F9B39", "apiVersion": "3.0", "eventType": "adImpression", "resultType": "finalized", "anonymous": true, "failureType": 1201, "failureDomain": "ASDErrorDomain", "clientEventId": "1A3D48FB-4452-4FD8-BB25-1195470A53DC", "os": "iOS", "topic": "xp_amp_skad_perf", "adType": "app", "adNetworkId": "mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork", "eventTime": 1736298000000, "osBuildNumber": "22C161", "hardwareFamily": "iPhone", "api": "SKAdNetwork" } Log Sample 3 (Success Example for Comparison): { "bug_type": "237", "timestamp": "2025-01-07 22:49:15.00 -0500", "os_version": "iPhone OS 18.2.1 (22C161)", "roots_installed": 0, "incident_id": "BFEAC86B-8195-4DB0-96FF-2028107256AD" } { "advertisementStoryId": "946E568C-D2C1-478F-BFF3-4996C48F9B39", "apiVersion": "3.0", "eventType": "adImpression", "resultType": "finalized", "anonymous": true, "clientEventId": "F6265488-E0FB-448A-A406-3F7254BCA9D7", "os": "iOS", "topic": "xp_amp_skad_perf", "adType": "app", "adNetworkId": "mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork", "eventTime": 1736294400000, "osBuildNumber": "22C161", "hardwareFamily": "iPhone", "api": "SKAdNetwork" } Failure Details: Failure Type: 1201 Failure Domain: ASDErrorDomain Ad Network ID: mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork API Versions Affected: 3.0, 4.0 Timeframe of Failures: All logs occur within 2025-01-07 22:00:00 UTC to 23:00:00 UTC. Environment: OS Version: iOS 18.2.1 (Build 22C161). Device Type: iPhone (hardwareFamily: iPhone). App Configuration: Includes the ad network ID in the Info.plist under SKAdNetworkItems. Impact Details Financial Loss: Based on failure rates, we estimate $20–$65/day per advertiser for small campaigns and $75–$375/day per advertiser for larger campaigns. If 100 advertisers are affected, daily losses range from $2,000–$37,500. Over a week, losses could exceed $70,000 to $262,500 or more. Operational Impact: Advertisers cannot track installs or optimize campaigns, leading to inefficient ad spending and potential budget reallocation to other networks. Damaged trust between advertisers and the ad network. Reputation Risk: Continued failures harm the credibility of the SKAdNetwork framework, critical in a post-ATT (App Tracking Transparency) ecosystem. Steps to Reproduce Serve an ad impression through the ad network mj797d8u6f.skadnetwork. Monitor SKAdNetwork attribution for that impression. Observe repeated failures (failureType: 1201) despite the resultType: finalized status. Recommendations for Investigation Attribution Timeout: Verify if these failures stem from delayed responses or missed attribution windows. Ad Network Configuration: Confirm the ad network’s integration complies with SKAdNetwork API 3.0 and 4.0 requirements. Infrastructure Review: Investigate potential bottlenecks or failures in Apple’s attribution servers (ASDErrorDomain) or communication delays.

Environment: macOS 15.2 (24C101) with Xcode 16.2 (16C5032a) Goal: I am trying to build a simple IMKInputController-based input method. Problem: My .app bundle registers successfully and I can select it as an input source. When selected, it blocks keyboard input, but my handle method does not seem to execute or produce output. I have placed NSLog statements in my controller's init and handle methods. Code for the controller: import InputMethodKit // The IMKTextInput protocol is provided by the framework. // We don't need to define our own bridging protocol for this test. public class HelloWorldController: IMKInputController { public override init!(server: IMKServer!, delegate: Any!, client inputClient: Any!) { super.init(server: server, delegate: delegate, client: inputClient) NSLog("HelloWorldIME: Controller has been initialized.") } public override func handle(_ event: NSEvent!, client sender: Any!) -> Bool { NSLog("HelloWorldIME: handle() method was called.") // ================== FINAL FIX APPLIED HERE ================== // 1. First, we ensure the client is a fundamental Objective-C object. guard let clientObject = sender as? NSObject else { NSLog("HelloWorldIME: Error - client object is not an NSObject.") return false } NSLog("HelloWorldIME: Successfully cast client to NSObject.") // 2. Now that we have an NSObject, we can safely check if it responds to the selector. let selector = #selector(IMKTextInput.insertText(_:replacementRange:)) if !clientObject.responds(to: selector) { NSLog("HelloWorldIME: Error - client object does not respond to the insertText selector.") return false } NSLog("HelloWorldIME: Client responds to insertText. Preparing to insert text.") // 3. Since we've confirmed it responds, we can now safely treat it as an IMKTextInput // and call the method. let client = clientObject as! IMKTextInput let stringToInsert = "A" let replacementRange = NSRange(location: NSNotFound, length: 0) client.insertText(stringToInsert, replacementRange: replacementRange) NSLog("HelloWorldIME: Called insertText with string '\(stringToInsert)'. Action complete.") // ======================================================== return true } }

We are developing an iOS app to connect to vehicles and trigger predefined vehicle controls (door lock/unlock) via the Digital Key framework. We are currently blocked on several aspects and would appreciate your expertise to clarify the following queries. How can we list down connected vehicle information? What is the method to retrieve connection status? How can we perform vehicle control actions (e.g., door lock/unlock)? STEPS TO REPRODUCE Starting the CarKeyRemoteControlSession to Fetch Vehicle Reports Currently, we are using the following API to start a CarKeyRemoteControlSession: open class func start( delegate: any CarKeyRemoteControlSessionDelegate, subscriptionRange subscriptionFunctionIDRange: ClosedRange? = nil, with delegateCallbackQueue: DispatchQueue? = nil ) async throws -> CarKeyRemoteControlSession After successfully creating the session, we check for vehicle reports using the vehicleReports property of CarKeyRemoteControlSession: public var vehicleReports: [VehicleReport] { get throws }

Hi, My app is going to consist of 2-3 pages of weather data. Do I have to add the Apple Weather logo to each page, or just the main one? Thanks, Dan Uff

I have a UIApplicationDelegate, where I want to terminate a live activity (in dynamic island) in applicationWillTerminate. However, ending an activity is asynchronous. When I end it within a Task, it's never called.

My use case is a Repeat Timer app. The user can configure a repeating timer, say: 8 minutes with 3 sets So I would like to configure either 3 alarms (8mins, 16mins, 24mins) or a repeating alarm (8mins every 3 mins) BUT... I would like the first and second alarms to break through but only for 5 seconds for example, and then stop (so the user doesn't need to tap the screen to silence the alarm). I don't think this is possible after reading the API docs, but am asking the question anyway. Thanks for any advice or guidance here, and happy WWDC!

Hi everyone, I have a simple question regarding App Intents. I have an intent that defines a few parameters, one of which is a Date. When the user is prompted for input, I’d like the date picker to start at a specific value (e.g., tomorrow) instead of the default current date. Is there a way to set an initial/default value for the date parameter in an App Intent? Thanks in advance for any guidance!

How can I use the Screen Time API to set a restriction for a child account from my app running on the parent’s account?

I want to monitor again from the bellow function of DeviceActivityMonitorExtension. I have the function of startMonitoring like this. override func eventDidReachThreshold(_ event: DeviceActivityEvent.Name, activity: DeviceActivityName) { super.eventDidReachThreshold(event, activity: activity) startMonitoring() } public func startMonitoring() { let startTime = DateComponents(hour: 0, minute: 0, second: 0) let endTime = DateComponents(hour: 23, minute: 59, second: 59)//DateComponents(hour: 11, minute: 0, second: 0)// let schedule = DeviceActivitySchedule( intervalStart: startTime,//DateComponents(hour: 0, minute: 0, second: 0), intervalEnd: endTime, repeats: true //warningTime: DateComponents(minute:1) ) let selection: FamilyActivitySelection = savedSelection() ?? FamilyActivitySelection() let center = DeviceActivityCenter() let selections = self.savedSelection() ?? FamilyActivitySelection() let applications = selections.applicationTokens let categories = selections.categoryTokens let webCategories = selections.webDomainTokens let store = ManagedSettingsStore() store.shield.applicationCategories = ShieldSettings.ActivityCategoryPolicy.specific(categories, except: Set()) store.shield.applications = applications store.shield.webDomains = webCategories let scheduleHard = DeviceActivitySchedule( intervalStart: startTime,//DateComponents(hour: 0, minute: 0, second: 0), intervalEnd: endTime, repeats: true //warningTime: DateComponents(minute:1) ) let event = DeviceActivityEvent( applications: selection.applicationTokens, categories: selection.categoryTokens, webDomains: selection.webDomainTokens, threshold: DateComponents(minute: 0)//timeLimitToUseApp i.e for 15 mins ) do { try center.startMonitoring( .weekend, during: scheduleHard, events: [ .weekend: event, ] ) print("ScreenTime Monitoring Started") } catch let error { print(error.localizedDescription) } } Please provide us with a solution about starting monitoring from DeviceActivityMonitoringExtension's eventDidReachThreshold function or if there is any other way.

When I open Iplaytv on my Apple TV it says refresh needed but I don’t know how

Hi, I am trying to build a command line app that read local mov files and print the text to the terminal. When I open the file with VNImageRequestHandler(url: url), where the url is a hardcode path to my desktop file, the terminal reports CRImage Reader Detector was given zero-dimensioned image (0 x 0). Anyone can help? Thanks!

I'm using FamilyActivityPicker to get consent for app/category management, which returns a FamilyActivitySelection object. I serialize this FamilyActivitySelection object (just applicationTokens and categoryTokens) and pass it to my DeviceActivityMonitor extension via App Group UserDefaults. I am using the JSON encoder/decoder over PropertyList (though both seem to exhibit the same behavior). After inspecting the FamilyActivitySelection object immediately after it's returned by FamilyActivityPicker in the main app, the application.bundleIdentifier property is consistently nil for every Application object within selection.applications. Similarly, category.localizedDisplayName is nil for ActivityCategory objects. This happens whether "Select All Apps" is used or if apps/categories are selected individually. I understand that this is the intended behavior due to Apple's user privacy policies. I read on another post that my app can be provided with bundle identifiers and app names within Shield Configuration extensions and Device Activity Report extensions - I'm not sure which ones or how exactly to do this. I am aware that I can use Label(applicationToken) SwiftUI view to display the app name/icon, but this doesn't give programmatic access to the bundleIdentifier string. My app will not log or export these bundleIdentifiers outside of its sandbox. My goal is to create mappings to the FamilyActivitySelection with the publicly accessible bundleIdentifiers. Any guidance, examples, or clarification on the intended workflow for this scenario would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I am currently optimizing the performance of my application. I would like to obtain information about users being killed after leaving the application in the background, in order to evaluate whether the application is running normally in the background. I noticed that there is a Background Termination information in Xcode ->Organizer that records background exits. I would like to know the rules for obtaining this information and what is the health standard for this indicator on the Apple side?

I'm sitting at my house and trying to sign my test device out of my apple ID so I can sign into a Sandbox user, but now I have an hour to kill because of this terribly broken "security" feature that thinks it's in an unfamiliar location, despite being at the only location it's ever known. Looks like I'll just be disabling this feature all together. Especially as a device with Developer Mode enabled, which gets reset regularly, there should be additional options here. Come on!

There's a 128mb limit for donating items to core spotlight. As far as I understand, there's a warning that shows in the Xcode console when either approaching or hitting that limit. It would be great if there was an API to check the current status of available storage for QA purposes to see if we're either donating too much or can donate more. Thanks!

Hi Apple Developer, I’m working on a message-filtering application and reviewing Apple's documentation on message filtering. The documentation clearly states that MMS messages can be filtered. (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/identitylookup/sms-and-mms-message-filtering) When we refer to MMS, it includes images, short videos, and other supported multimedia formats. However, the ILMessageFilterQueryRequest only provides the message body as a String, meaning we can access text and links but not images or other media files. Could you please confirm whether Apple allows third-party applications to access multimedia content sent from unknown numbers? Looking forward to your quick response. Thanks, Rijul Singhal

Hey all, Running into an issue with a WeatherKit. Whenever I make a WeatherKit API call, I get this error: Details: { domain: WeatherDaemon.WDSClientErrors, localizedDescription: invalidAuthorization: 401, underlyingError: Unknown, code: 3 } This only happens when calling via the Swift package: swift WeatherService.shared.weather(for: location).currentWeather When I was calling the WeatherKit REST API directly from Dart, everything worked fine. So far I’ve: Enabled WeatherKit in the Apple Developer account Added the WeatherKit capability to the app Refreshed provisioning profiles Installed the app fresh on device/simulator Has anyone seen this specific invalidAuthorization: 401 from WeatherDaemon.WDSClientErrors when using WeatherService in Swift, and know what might be missing or misconfigured?

I have a watch only app that display an open/close park status and the current temperature with a current condition icon. That's it. On second submission the watch app was rejected due to no WeatherKit attribution. I have a lack of clarity of what's needed. With my single view that display my content I don't want WeatherKit attribution to overwhelm what's being presented to the user. I've tried looking for watch apps in the store that provide attribution and I'm not finding any. Looking for advice on how to meet this requirement without attribution overpowering my content.
