We have developed an accessory that supports Find My. When using the Find My app to set it up, it occasionally gets stuck at the final " setting up"" interface. The app just stays like that. We would like to know what could cause this situation and how to resolve it.
Thanks a lot.

We are currently planning to develop a third‑party hardware accessory that supports Wi‑Fi Aware using AccessorySetupKit on iOS, based on the official documentation:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/accessorysetupkit/
Before finalizing our hardware and firmware design, we would like to better understand the real‑world behavior and user experience of Wi‑Fi Aware in actual third‑party accessories.
Specifically, we would like to ask:
Existing Third‑Party Hardware
Are there any commercially available third‑party accessories (not Apple products) that already support Wi‑Fi Aware via AccessorySetupKit?
If so, are there any public examples, reference designs, or recommended products we can purchase to observe the real onboarding, discovery, and pairing experience?
Reference or Evaluation Hardware
Does Apple provide any reference hardware, evaluation kits, or recommended vendor solutions (for example, based on common Wi‑Fi chipsets) that are known to work well with Wi‑Fi Aware on iOS?
Are there specific Wi‑Fi chipset vendors that have validated interoperability with AccessorySetupKit?
Practical Behavior and Limitations
In real usage, what are the typical discovery latency, reliability, and background/foreground behavior developers should expect?
Are there known limitations or best practices when designing hardware that relies on Wi‑Fi Aware for initial accessory discovery and setup?
Our goal is to evaluate the feasibility and user experience of Wi‑Fi Aware for third‑party accessories by testing against existing implementations or recommended hardware, before investing heavily in custom hardware development.
Any guidance, examples, or pointers to existing accessories or partners would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Apple Forums,
We are developing an iOS application that connects to a custom BLE accessory and sends control commands to it.
Our system architecture is as follows:
A separate hardware device collects data and sends it to our backend server via Wi-Fi.
The backend evaluates state changes and determines when the BLE accessory should update its display.
The iOS app acts purely as a BLE command executor for this accessory.
Our goal is to:
Maintain a BLE connection with the accessory while the app is in the background.
Receive state-change events from our backend server.
Upon receiving such events, send a BLE command to the accessory to update its state.
We understand that iOS does not allow arbitrary background execution. We would like to confirm whether there is any supported mechanism, entitlement, or program that allows:
Long-running background execution for BLE control, or
Server-originated events (other than APNs) to trigger background BLE actions.
If this is not supported, we would appreciate confirmation that APNs (silent push) is the only supported way to trigger such background BLE actions, or guidance on any recommended alternative architectures.
Thank you for your guidance.
My iOS application needs to connect a device by wifi and exchange data between them.
The way of transmission is using the UDP protocol, most of all, it works well. But some part of iOS devices will loss the package always. Even if re-open the application or reboot wifi devices, or reboot iOS devices, it can not be solved.
Only reset the network settings on iOS devices could fix it.
But this can not make sure that be well always, if occurs in the future. User need to reset network setting again.
Are there any brothers know or meet this phenomenon?
Thanks for your time to research this.
Hello,
I am currently working on a USB HID-class device and I wanted to test communications between various OSes and the device.
I was able to communicate through standard USB with the device on other OSes such as Windows and Linux, through their integrated kernel modules and generic HID drivers. As a last test, I wanted to test macOS as well.
This is my code, running in a Swift-based command line utility:
import Foundation
import CoreHID
let matchingCriteria = HIDDeviceManager.DeviceMatchingCriteria(vendorID: 0x1234, productID: 0x0006) // This is the VID/PID combination that the device is actually listed under
let manager = HIDDeviceManager()
for try await notification in await manager.monitorNotifications(matchingCriteria: [matchingCriteria]) {
switch notification {
case .deviceMatched(let deviceReference):
print("Device Matched!")
guard let client = HIDDeviceClient(deviceReference: deviceReference) else {
fatalError("Unable to create client. Exiting.") // crash on purpose
}
let report = try await client.dispatchGetReportRequest(type: .input)
print("Get report data: [\(report.map { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined(separator: " "))]")
case .deviceRemoved(_):
print("A device was removed.")
default:
continue
}
}
The client.dispatchGetReportRequest(...) line always fails, and if I turn the try expression into a force-unwrapped one (try!) then the code, unsurprisingly, crashes.
The line raises a CoreHID.HIDDeviceError.unknown() exception with a seemingly meaningless IOReturn code (last time I tried I got an IOReturn code with the value of -536870211).
The first instinct is to blame my own custom USB device for not working properly, but it doesn't cooperate with with ANY USB device currently connected: not a keyboard (with permissions granted), not a controller, nothing.
I did make sure to enable USB device access in the entitlements (when I tried to run this code in a simple Cocoa app) as well.
...What am I doing wrong here? What does the IOReturn code mean?
Thanks in advance for anybody willing to help out!

I have an Iphone Xsmax and the battery health is degraded to 69
i noticed whenever I put it on charge it just restarts and keeps doing that until I start using it or keep the screen on before it charges
please is it my charger or it’s because the battery health has degraded to 69?

So the battery level value is in accurate returns the battery percentage in multiple of 5 values e.g. battery percentage is 42 but the api returns it as 40. So please fix the issue if possible because i checked that the
devices running iOS versions below 17 appear to be working fine.
Im having issue with OneDrive that is affected our company iPads. User are able to drag and drop any folder or files over and now they cant. they are on the latest update for OneDrive and the IOS. Can someone look at this and also i reach to Microsoft and they said that nothing have change on there end.
When are you guys going to fix the CarPlay issues with this new update? I use this for work and it’s really an issue. Nothing is working and it takes up entirely too much space.
After updating to ios18.4, 3d scanning function, including AR function in apple clips, cannot be used. Does anyone else have the same problem?

My audio and MIDI sequencer application consumes about 600 % of CPU power with 10 different instruments during playback. While idle approximately 100%.
What is the maximum of CPU power that an application can consume? Are there any limits and could they be modified?
I am asking because if I add more instruments the real-time behaviour gets bad at 700 % of CPU power.

Hello,
Since updating to iOS 18.3.1, the rear camera on my iPhone 13 Pro Max has not been functioning properly. The Camera app displays a black screen and becomes unresponsive.
I analyzed the crash logs and found that the issue is related to the cameracaptured process, which handles image and video capture on iOS. Here are the key details from the crash log:
📌 Memory Error: "Address size fault"
📌 Impacted Thread: com.apple.coremedia.capturesession.workerQueue
The "Address size fault" error suggests a memory access issue, likely causing the cameracaptured process to crash. This could be due to a bug in the video capture thread management introduced in the update.
What do you think?

Ever since the last update i have issues with my camera app. Sometimes when I open the app the forward facing cameras don’t work and it’s just a Black screen. I also get a warning that I may not have genuine iPhone parts installed. I have to reboot the phone every time just to have it app function again. It’s annoying. Please fix this. I never had any issues with the camera or its app up until after the update.

你好,有个问题想请教一下:
我们的app是一款与CGM实时血糖相关的app,app支持在后台通过蓝牙跟CGM血糖设备保持连接。
现在遇到一个问题:
首先,app在后台运行期间,蓝牙是开启状态的,跟CGM设备也是连接的状态。
某个时刻,监听到蓝牙的状态突然从 poweredOn 变为了 resetting ,然后蓝牙又恢复了,状态变为了 poweredOn
这时候,问题出现了:之前连接的那个CGM血糖设备一直无法扫描到了!!
我想问一下:
什么情况下,蓝牙状态会变为resetting
蓝牙状态恢复为poweredOn后,之前连接的那个CGM血糖设备一直无法扫描到了,为什么?我要怎么做才能恢复,重新扫描到之前连接的这个设备?
