From the document https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sensorkit/srfetchrequest we know that "SensorKit places a 24-hour holding period on newly recorded data before an app can access it. This gives the user an opportunity to delete any data they don’t want to share with the app. A fetch request doesn’t return any results if its time range overlaps this holding period." Will this holding period reset each time when I called startRecording() ? Let's say I upgrade my app to a new version, do I need to call startRecording again to init the data collection process? will it be able to query the data collected from previous version's app ?

Bank Accounts details are outdated and status is stack on processing with error: "Your banking updates are processing, and you should see the changes in 24 hours. You won't be able to make any additional updates until then." This is now stack for a few years since we activated a previous Apple developer account. we must change banking details as it holds up development of an app with in-app purchases. Finance department has been contacted and they do not answer What shall we do? senior support staff keep referring to finance department and is not helping

Is there any documentation about the server to server notification, specifically what sort of data Apple servers send to our server when there is an update to users who used Sign in with Apple?

My application is from a bank that provides payment passes, and when I try to retrieve passes already enrolled in the wallet, it always returns empty. Is there something I need to configure for it to work? This is what I've tried, and it hasn't worked

we use the api as NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared.apply(hotspotConfig) to join a wifi, but we find that in in iphone 17+, some user report the time to join wifi is very slow the full code as let hotspotConfig = NEHotspotConfiguration(ssid: sSSID, passphrase: sPassword, isWEP: false) hotspotConfig.joinOnce = bJoinOnce if #available(iOS 13.0, *) { hotspotConfig.hidden = true } NEHotspotConfigurationManager.shared.apply(hotspotConfig) { [weak self] (error) in guard let self else { return } if let error = error { log.i("connectSSID Error while configuring WiFi: \(error.localizedDescription)") if error.localizedDescription.contains("already associated") { log.i("connectSSID Already connected to this WiFi.") result(["status": 0]) } else { result(["status": 0]) } } else { log.i("connectSSID Successfully connected to WiFi network \(sSSID)") result(["status": 1]) } } Normally it might only take 5-10 seconds, but on the iPhone 17+ it might take 20-30 seconds.

Hello eveybody,Currently I'm working on an app which connects to a device. During testing I encounter an internal error of NEHotspotConfigurationErrorDomain. See the log snippet:Domain=NEHotspotConfigurationErrorDomain Code=8 "internal error." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=internal error.}This error appears randomly. In one day I encountered it three times. The only solution I can think of is catching this error somehow and then telling the user to restart the device.After this error appears, the wifi functionality of iOS in all third party apps seems to be broken. Only restarting helps as far as I know. Also there seems to be nothing we as app developers can do about it. Therefor I wonder if there is some way to prevent this error somehow? The only solution I can think of is catching this error somehow and then telling the user to restart the device.Also since there is not much information about this error on the web, it would be really nice if someone can clarify whats going on with this error.Regards.

If an app on the App Store still uses StoreKit 1 (a.k.a. the Original StoreKit) to handle In-App Purchases, would IAPs work for users who download such app on iOS 26.2? Would the app allow the users to purchase an IAP via StoreKit 1 or would it be impossible to buy the IAP on iOS 26? The iOS Documentation says that SKPaymentQueue (which is a part of StoreKit 1) is "Deprecated" and "No longer supported.", with the support being for iOS 3.0–18.0. Does this mean that apps using StoreKit 1 won't be able to make IAP purchases when running on iOS 26?

当用户开启App自动更新后，自动更新App后，App有些功能会错乱。 1.有的会触发旧App代码功能，如旧版本有个选择框，在新版本选择框从界面移除了，但自动更新看，有的用户会还会触旧版本选择框的功能 2.数据错乱，如App录入数字6，发送到服务端变成5.4 现在发现这些问题。都是要把App删除，重新下载就可以。 请问要如何避免这样的问题。 App是有Objective-C，会不会与开启 BITCODE有关？

We are planning to develop an app that connects to a UVC camera to capture and display video via AVFoundation. Could you please advise on which iPhone models support UVC cameras?

Hey! I'm working on enabling remotely started live activities. I'm running into 2 crashes: Upon initializing ActivityAuthorizationInfo Upon calling Activity<...>.activities array Both stack traces look like this: 0 libsystem_kernel.dylib +0xce0 _mach_msg2_trap 1 libsystem_kernel.dylib +0x4398 _mach_msg2_internal 2 libsystem_kernel.dylib +0x42b4 _mach_msg_overwrite 3 libsystem_kernel.dylib +0x40fc _mach_msg 4 libdispatch.dylib +0x1cc04 __dispatch_mach_send_and_wait_for_reply 5 libdispatch.dylib +0x1cfa4 _dispatch_mach_send_with_result_and_wait_for_reply 6 libxpc.dylib +0x107ec _xpc_connection_send_message_with_reply_sync 7 BoardServices +0xaea8 -[BSXPCServiceConnectionMessage _sendWithMode:] 8 BoardServices +0x17938 -[BSXPCServiceConnectionMessage sendSynchronouslyWithError:] 9 BoardServices +0xeef0 ___71+[BSXPCServiceConnectionProxy createImplementationOfProtocol:forClass:]_block_invoke They happen to a limited number of users, but not insignificant. Most are on iOS 18.6.2 and iOS 26.1, but there are others in the mix. I don't have a repro myself. It looks like the main thread gets blocked after we receive no response from these ActivityKit APIs. Both of these are called inside application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:. For ActivityAuthorizationInfo, we need the app to communicate with the server whether the user has live activities enabled; hence, calling this object's init as early as possible in the app. For activities array, I'd like to do some logging whenever the live activity is started or ended (for example, if activities array no longer contains any activities, we can log the activity as dismissed). For this logging to happen, as far as I understand, it has to happen inside didFinishLaunchingWithOptions since this is the only method being called upon the terminated app receiving background runtime when the live activity starts/ends remotely. After some research, one potential reason is ActivityKit APIs are just not ready to return values via xpc connection at app startup, so moving these methods to applicationDidBecomeActive could resolve the problem. That's fine for ActivityAuthorizationInfo init, but for accessing activities, there is no other place in the lifecycle to see if an activity has been dismissed (especially in the scenario where app is terminated, so we get only 30 seconds ish of background runtime). Curious if anyone has run into this or has any insights into ActivityKit API behavior.

Does Bluetooth work in the background in iOS 26?

Hi everyone, I’m exploring Network Extension options for a use case where I need to log and filter network activity at the packet level. More specifically, I need the ability to detect and potentially block certain TCP behaviors during the handshake. From everything I’ve tested, NEFilterPacketProvider seems to be the only Network Extension type that operates early enough in the flow. NEFilterDataProvider appears to receive flows after the TCP handshake is already completed. It also has some limitations with IP-based filtering (might include hostname instead of IP), inconsistent ICMP behavior, etc. So I went with NEFilterPacketProvider. However, I’m running into a major issue: extremely high CPU usage. To isolate the problem, I stripped my packet handler down to the simplest possible implementation — basically returning .allow for every inbound/outbound packet without any filtering logic. Even with that minimal setup, playing one or two videos in a browser causes the CPU usage of the extension to spike to 20–50%. This seems to be caused purely by the packet volume. I haven’t found any way to pre-filter packets before the handler is invoked, nor any documented method to significantly optimize packet handling at this stage. It’s possible I’m missing something fundamental. Questions: Has anyone else experienced this kind of high CPU usage with NEFilterPacketProvider? Is there any recommended way to reduce the packet handling overhead or avoid processing every single packet? Any known best practices or configuration tips? Thanks in advance!

I paid for the program a few days ago , how long till I’m approved?

I've tuned my task to be decently resilient, but I found a few issues that caused it to expire regularly. excessive CPU usage -> I'm actually running it behind ReactNative, and I found an issue where I was still updating ReactNative and thus it was keeping it alive the entire time the task was running. Removing this update helped improve stability not updating progress frequently enough ( see https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/809182?page=1#868247022) My feature request is, would it be possible to get a reason the task was expired in task.expirationHandler? That would be helpful for both the user and for debugging why the task was expired. Thanks!

I posted here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/805554?page=1#867766022 but posting again for visibility (and let me know how I can file a bug) There was a response in that thread that said you could use the childProgress system to help updating progresses to keep the backgroundTask alive. What I've found is that using childProgresses results in more terminations than if you just updated the progress directly. Here is my setups to test this A BGContinuedProcessingTask that uses URLSessions to upload, and registers the task.progress with the Urlsession Progress Same, but the task.progress gets updated via a UrlSession Callback The second is MUCH more stable out in the field in cellular settings, the first fails extremely frequently. My suspicion is that in the documentation here https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/progress#Reporting-Progress-for-Multiple-Operations it explicitly states The completedUnitCount property for a containing progress object only updates when the suboperation is 100% complete. The fractionCompleted property for a containing progress object updates continuously as work progresses for all suboperations. I wonder if BGContinuedProcessingTask is only looking at completedUnitCount for progress, and not fractionCompleted? In either case, I would love to use the childProgresses because there are bugs with retries by updating the progress manually, so would love some help resolving this, Thanks!

Hello! I’ve been trying to log in to my iCloud account, but I haven’t been able to access it. A message pops up saying, 'Couldn’t communicate with the server.' Additionally, I can’t update my phone to the latest iOS version. Please, how can I resolve this?

After the update to iOS 17, tapping on message notification shown on CarPlay Dashboard is navigating to the CarPlay app instead of announcing the message notification.

Hello, I have an app on the App Store built around WeatherKit and it was working fine, up until this morning when I started seeing errors when using the app. When debugging using Xcode I see the familiar error Failed to generate jwt token for: com.apple.weatherkit.authservice with error: Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" which, according to what I've read on the forums looks like an authentication error. Attaching a network debugger to the Simulator, I saw this error: This I have tried: Verify that WeatherKit is enabled on both Capabilities and App Services tabs on the Dev Portal. Toggle on/off this value and regenerate Provisioning Profiles Uninstall/reinstall Checking that I have API available calls. Nothing. If I create a new Bundle ID and sign with that, it works correctly. But this is not an option since that will force all my customers to download everything from scratch. I am getting emails from customers demanding money back and I can't figure out what has happened. The only thing I can think of, is that I started developing an Apple Watch app to complement the iOS app, but that was last week and everything was working fine.
