There are many units which are inverse of standard units, e.g. wave period vs Hz, pace vs speed, Siemens vs Ohms, ...
Dimension can be subclassed to create the custom units.
How to extend Measurement.converted( to: )?
I was looking at somehow using UnitConverter and subclass to something like UnitConverterInverse.
Thoughts?

In my application, I use CallKit and have supportsHolding = true set. During my phone call, another call comes in (e.g., GSM). I accept the incoming call and put the current call on hold.
If I end the active call myself, everything is fine, and CallKit calls the
method provider(_ provider: CXProvider, didActivate audioSession: AVAudioSession).
However, if the other party ends the call, the second call remains on hold. In the application, the user clicks on unhold, and I notify CallKit that the hold has ended.
But in this case, the didActivate method is not called at all. If I try to activate the audio myself after unhold, I receive the error:
Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=561017449 "Session activation failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Session activation failed}
AVAudioSessionErrorInsufficientPriority == NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code: 561017449
What needs to be done for CallKit to activate my audio?
I have published the app on the App Store along with its corresponding app clip, my app clip is configured with some advanced experiences for each one of my clients, but whenever some users try to scan an NFC or QR Code they see the card rendering correctly with their configured banner image, but with the message "App Clip Unavailable".
The weird thing is that both iMessage and the website to which the associated domain is set and the apple-app-site-association is stored, renders the banner or card correctly, and when the users tap the banner or card they open the advanced app clip experience correctly without any issue.
I have attempted to troubleshoot the issue by checking the following:
if the app clip is below 15MB
if we are using a second level domain in my associated domain both for my app clip and app (excluding the www subdomain).
checking if the AASA is correctly stored inside .well-known directory
checking the configuration for the advanced experience
I opened a case: 102233443873, and added a bunch of videos and screenshot showcasing the issue, but I have not yet received a reply
Problem Description:
After upgrading to iOS 26, I discovered that the ExtendedDistanceMeasurement feature in the Nearby Interaction framework is not working as expected. On the same device model, the issue did not occur on iOS 18, but it is present on iOS 26 (including the latest iOS 26.2), and it has started affecting the functionality of my app. I hope this issue can be resolved as soon as possible.
Problem Details:
On iOS 26 and later versions (including iOS 26.2), when using an iPhone and an Apple Watch both equipped with second-generation UWB chips, enabling isExtendedDistanceMeasurementEnabled initiates the distance measurement process successfully, but the distance information fails to update. The real-time distance between the devices does not display within the app.
Affected Devices and Versions:
iPhone Model: iPhone 15 Pro Max
iOS Version: iOS 26.2
Apple Watch Model: Apple Watch 10
watchOS Version: 26.2
Example Code:
The issue can be reproduced by adding the following code from the official sample code:
Nearby Interaction Framework Sample Code
After I upgraded to MacOS 26(beta), my program caused the system to pop up a window as shown in the following picture.
My application is a process with only a tray icon.
I found that my tray icon is not displayed in the current version, even though I clicked the "Always Allow" button.
Here are my questions:
1.Will this related feature remain consistent in the official release?
2.How can I create a cmd process that only displays a system tray icon (no main window) like Alfred?
I have an iOS app that includes a local Swift package. This Swift package contains some .plist files added as resources. The package also depends on an XCFramework. I want to read these .plist files from within the XCFramework.
What I’d like to know is:
Is this a common or recommended approach—having resources in a Swift package and accessing them from an XCFramework?
Previously, I had the .plist files added directly to the main app target, and accessing them from the XCFramework felt straightforward. With the new setup, I’m trying to determine whether this method (placing resources in a Swift package and accessing them from an XCFramework) is considered good practice.
For context: I am currently able to read the .plist files from the XCFramework by passing Bundle.module through one of the APIs exposed by the XCFramework.
we have three problem when using the push notification on Live Activity.
1. What is the specific callback strategy for the activityUpdates property in ActivityKit?
We found that in actual user scenarios, there is a probability that we may not receive callbacks. From the community experience, there are some resource optimization strategies that do not perform callbacks. From this perspective, the explanation is kind of vague. Is there any clear feedback to understand why callbacks are performed/not performed?
2.what is the specific description of the wake-up strategy, when background app receive Live Activity offline start Push?
From community experience, we can see that the system may wake up for a duration of 0-30s due to resource optimization strategies, or not wake up/not deal with it. Is there an official description of the wake-up strategy? or we also have to follow this description:
Wake up of apps using content-available pushes are heavily throttled. You can expect 1-2 wakeup per hour as a best case scenario in the hands of your users. so this cannot be assumed to be a reliable wake-up on demand mechanism for an app.
3 How can we determine user have selected (allow or always allow) of the Live Activity permission?
When we use real-time activity offline push, there are two system prompts in iOS:
the first prompt : allow and disallow real-time activity
the second prompt : always allow and disallow
Is there an interface that can directly determine which permission the user has chosen (allow/always allow)? (By the way, we can get disallow status).
At present, we haven't seen any interface in the official documentation/interface that can determine (allow/always allow). The difference here will affect the generation of Update Token. Without Update Token, we can not update our activity instance.
Original discussion pre iOS 26
Our app uses Auth0 with HTTPS callback, we've found the issue where AASA file is not ready immediately when app is initially launched, which is the exact issue from the above link.
The issue seems mostly fixed on later versions on iOS 18, however, we are seeing some indications of a regression on iOS 26. Here's some measurement over the last week.
| Platform | iOS 18 | iOS 26 |
|---------------|----------|--------|
| Adoption rate | 55% | 45% |
| Issue seen | 1 | 5 |
| Recover? | Yes | No |
This only 1 iOS 18 instance was able to recover after 1 second after the first try, however, all iOS 26 instances were not able to recover in couple tens of seconds and less than 1 minute, the user eventually gave up.
Is there a way to force app to update AASA file?
Are there some iOS setting (like using a VPN) that could potentially downgrade the AASA fetch?

I'm developing a VoIP app.
Currently, I'm using CallKit to control call acceptance, and end-of-call processing.
When a call comes in while using the phone, CallKit appears as a banner at the top of the screen.
When I click "Accept" on the banner, the app opens and the call is received. (For OEMs, clicking the "Accept" button in the banner will accept the call as is.)
The reason this feature is needed is, for example, when a call comes in as a banner call while using a navigation app, accepting the call causes the navigation app to go to the back and the VoIP app to come to the foreground, causing inconvenience to customers. This needs to be improved.
Please advise.
Hey everyone,
I have an app using the screen time api, I've had quite a few reports from users saying that our monitoring features stop working until they open our app. What happens is that activities and schedules set with the device activity monitor seem to disappear. This is something we check on app re-opens and so we schedule them again and that is why the monitoring starts working again.
Of course our current solution is not optimal since our app is mainly passive. Has anyone experienced these kinds of issue ?
Hello everyone,
I’m experiencing a WeatherKit issue that occurs consistently on both the iOS 26.2 Simulator and a real device running iOS 26.2.
Environment:
Xcode: latest
iOS: 26.2
Occurs on: Simulator AND physical device
WeatherKit usage: via WeatherService API (not manual REST)
Location Services: authorized (When In Use / Always)
Issue:
WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2
"The operation couldn’t be completed."
Already verified:
WeatherKit capability is enabled for the App ID
com.apple.developer.weatherkit entitlement is present
Bundle ID matches the App ID
App is signed with the correct Team ID
Behavior is identical on Simulator and physical device
Error occurs before any WeatherKit response is returned
Questions:
Is this a known issue with WeatherKit on iOS 26.2?
Are there any known limitations or requirements for WeatherService
related to WeatherDaemon validation?
Is there a recommended way to diagnose why WeatherDaemon
rejects the request with Code=2?
Code:
private let weatherService = WeatherService()

For other permission prompts in the iOS ecosystem, we have the option to configure the text shown in the prompt via keys in the Info.plist. This does not appear to be the case with regards to the age range permission prompt. The text of the prompt implies the app includes a differentiated experience for child or teen content and that confirming age unlocks more features (making it seem optional for using the app).
Is there a plan for app developers to be able to update that permission prompt similarly to how we can configure others?
If so, is there any timeline we can expect that on?
When updating an existing advanced app clip experience, the change doesn't actually apply. It shows the correct image in the UI, but when you use the app clip it shows the old image. Looking into it more, the status has "UPDATE_SUBMITTED". Seems related to this issue (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/810544) and this issue (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/810351).
In mainland China, CallKit is not available. Recently, I discovered LiveCommunicationKit.
Can it replace CallKit?
There is no relevant introduction in the documentation. Can someone help me understand how to use it?

After reading the news below, we are currently working on updating our app in preparation for the enforcement of Texas SB 2420.
https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=2ezb6jhj
Based on the information in the announcement, we understand that parents will be able to revoke their consent for apps.
However, we are unsure how an app is supposed to obtain or verify the parent’s consent status in the first place.
We reviewed the Declared Age Range API and PermissionKit’s Significant Change API, but could not find any functionality related to this.
If anyone with expertise on this topic has insight, we would greatly appreciate your guidance.
Thank you in advance.
Hello,
How do apps like App Lock implement app-opening from a shield? Is this supported for 3rd-party apps or limited to partners?
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/app-lock/id6448239603
I'm currently working with the FamilyControls API and testing my app on two different devices. Both apps are in the same family-sharing network with one phone being the owner of the network (I'll call this A) and the other one being an adult in the network(I'll call this B).
When device A picks apps using the FamilyActivityPicker, it shares that selection with device B (via encoding, sending over network, and decoding on device B). However, interacting with the token (displaying it, using it in shield) throws an error saying the token is null.
From the documentation, I thought every token would be the same across all devices in the family sharing network. So my question:
How do I send the FamilyActivitySelection from A to B and have the tokens still be functional?
Does this functionality only work if A is a "parent" and B is a "child" in the family sharing network?
Also, side note:
If I reverse the process and send the tokens from B to A. Interacting with the token works exactly as expected. For some reason, it's only going from A to B where it doesn't work.

Hello,
Regarding EKEventStore, the WWDC session mentions that “you should only have one of these for your application.”
In my app, I need to use the instance on both the main thread and a background thread, and I would like to share a single instance across them.
However, EKEventStore is a non-sendable type, so it cannot be shared across different isolation domains.
I would like to know what the recommended best practice is for this situation.
Also, do I need to protect the instance from data races by using a lock?
Thank you.
In iOS 26.1, after my app answers a VoIP call on the lock screen, tapping the bottom-left "More" button doesn't bring up the app icon to jump to the app. The same scenario works normally on iOS 26. How can I resolve this issue?
Hi,
I'm trying to make use of the Device Activity Labels where you supply an ApplicationToken. I can successfully get it to show the icon + title of the Application (twitter in my case) but I cannot get the styling to work.
// Works
.labelStyle(.iconOnly)
.labelStyle(.titleOnly)
.border(...)

// Does NOT work
.font(.largeTitle)
.foregroundColor(.blue)
I have checked the same style (or just modifiers) against a standard Label and they actually do work in the code below.
// This is an application token. Some style not applied.
Label(targetApp)
.labelStyle(MyStyle())
// Showing the same style using a simple label. All styles correctly applied.
Label("Twitter", systemImage: "video.square.fill")
.labelStyle(MyStyle())
Is changing the font + color of the title for this Label(_ applicationToken:) supported?
