A customer of mine signed up for a free trial. I got a apple server notification with notification type DID_RENEW. What does that mean? Does that mean that they will be charged the subscription price now?

When I try to promote schema to production, I get following error: Cannot promote schema with empty type 'workspace', please delete the record type before attempting to migrate the schema again However, in hierarchical root record sharing, I think it should be completely legit use case where there is empty root record (in my case workspace) to which other records reference through ->parent reference. Am I missing something? Is this weird constraint imposed on CloudKit?

Hello Everyone, I have some questions regarding the Apple notification alert update received in October 2024 for the APNs server certificate update. We are using Azure Notification Hub to receive push notifications. I confirmed with the Azure team, and they have already implemented the required changes. However, push notifications are still not working in the sandbox environment. Could you please provide any insights on this? Thanks.

on a span of 4 months we sent 2 for nfc entitlement requests and refused , no reason nothing . i mean all we want is the ability to use nfc on passes nothing else , no idea why this is so complex . with google you don’t even need a developer account and it’s for free , here we pay and we can’t even get the full functionality the passes offer , we got the hardware and the solution but we find out we need an nfc entitlement to allow passes to have nfc ? i mean our use case is very simple instead of having barcode on the passes we want them to be via nfc and we already got the nfc hardware but we find out we need nfc entitlement which we tried requesting but getting refused with no reason at all. at least tell u what is the problem what how to fix it not outright refuse without any reason at all. if anyone got any solution please provide.

Apple multi-peer with 12 devices is unstable. Dear All, Has anyone tried Apple multi-peer with 12 devices connected? We are building an application relying on multi-peer where 12 Ipads will be updating data and each device needs to share data between. Can anyone tell me if we can use multi-peer framework for connecting 12 devices in the multi-peer network? We are facing stability problems in the connection when we connect 12 devices in the network.

"As we announced in October, the Certification Authority (CA) for Apple Push Notification service (APNs) is changing. APNs will update the server certificates in sandbox on January 20, 2025, and in production on x date, 2025. To continue using APNs without interruption, you’ll need to update your application’s Trust Store to include the new server certificate: SHA-2 Root : USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate. To ensure a smooth transition and avoid push notification delivery failures, please make sure that both old and new server certificates are included in the Trust Store before the cut-off date for each of your application servers that connect to sandbox and production. At this time, you don’t need to update the APNs SSL provider certificates issued to you by Apple." As we are using firebase for receiving notifications and azure notification hub, I read that there is nothing we as developers need to do and will be handled by the providers right?

I am developing a parental control app using Apple’s Screen Time API and FamilyControls Framework. My goal is to allow parents to remotely block apps on their child’s device from their own phone. Anyone have any idea how can i do that?

I'd like to set up a communication mechanism between the Ui test runner and my iOS app. The purpose is to be able to collect some custom performance metrics in addition to standard ones like scrollingAndDecelerationMetric. Let's say we measure some specific intervals in our code using signposts, then serialize the result into a structured payload and report it back to the runner. So, are there any good options for that kind of IPC? The primary concern is running on Simulator. However, since it is not a regular UI test but more a performance UI test, and it is usually recommended to run those on a real device, with release optimizations/flags in place, I wonder if it is feasible to have it for device too.

I cannot access my corporate invoice. I don't know why I couldn't reach it. How and where can I reach it?

Hello everyone, I’m currently developing an app that uses the Family Controls API, specifically the Screen Time API. However, my current entitlement is limited to development mode, which prevents me from publishing my app on TestFlight. I have already contacted Apple Developer Support for production access but wanted to reach out to the community as well and I was referenced to FamilyControls API documentation and I couldn't find anything related to my case. Has anyone successfully upgraded their entitlement from development-only to production? Any insights on the process, tips for communicating with Developer Support, or guidance on ensuring full compliance with the Family Controls guidelines would be extremely helpful.

Hello, I would like to ask if there is any possibility to invoke the Apple Sysdiagnose via an API call. I cannot find any API reference for Sysdiagnose. I am aware only about the manually invocation. https://it-training.apple.com/tutorials/support/sup075/ However, this is pretty annoying since a reproduction of a hunted bug takes several hours, so I am looking for the way how to invoke Sysdiagnose from our code.

i recently upgraded to sequoia, and now, more often than not, when running in the debugger, opening my database causes a hang: When i run outside the debugger, it opens just fine. I suspect it has to do with "full disk access"? but i've given my app full disk access. i've also set Qt and Xcode to have "Allow apps to use developer tools" permissions. as a test i also added my app into that permission group, all to no avail. the path to the DB being opened is in my user's Music folder, and having full disk access gives permission for everything, including things in that folder. confused!

users download app with Streamlined Purchasing ,but the logic of checking subscription doesn't work. there the code: func checkSubscriptionStatus() async { for await entitlement in Transaction.currentEntitlements { guard case .verified(let transaction) = entitlement else { continue } if transaction.productID == monthlyProductID || transaction.productID == yearlyProductID { if transaction.revocationDate == nil && !transaction.isUpgraded { let activeSubscribed = transaction.expirationDate ?? .distantFuture > .now if activeSubscribed { hasActiveSubscription = activeSubscribed // other operation } } } } }

Hi, With the upcoming changes to the Apple Push Notification service (APNs) server certificates — including the SHA-2 Root: USERTrust RSA Certification Authority certificate update — I wanted to clarify if we need to take any action with Salesforce.

I'm using react native with expo, firebase for auth, and I have google, facebook and Apple Sign In enabled. On my IOS simulator I can sign in using all 3 with no problems, but when I build and submit to test flight and test on a real device only google sign in works It crashes when I try to sign in with facebook and I get an error saying The operation couldn't be completed. (com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError error 1000.)

I'm having some issues where only a subset of records appear in CloudKit dashboard after I have saved some records in my iOS app using NSPersistentCloudKitContainer. I have noticed that when I'm running my app using the development environment of my CloudKit container everything works smoothly and is uploaded as expected but when I'm using the production environment only a subset of records are actually uploaded. I'm pulling my hair on how to debug this. -com.apple.CoreData.CloudKitDebug and -com.apple.CoreData.SQLDebug pukes out too much info in the console for me to pinpoint any issue.

Based on threads from past years, it is mentioned that a NEFilterDataProvider supports IPPROTO_TCP, IPPROTO_UDP, IPPROTO_ICMP and IPPROTO_IGMP. [Q] What about IPPROTO_RAW? Is this something that would have been added recently?

Am I misunderstanding the expected behavior here, or is there a bug in the behavior of @Attribute(.ephemeral) tagged SwiftData model properties? The documentation for .ephemeral says "Track changes to this property but do not persist". I started using .ephemeral because @Transient was inhibiting SwiftUI from reacting to changes to the property through @Observable. I am updating the value of my @Attribute(.ephemeral) property about once a second and I am seeing corresponding console log output showing the property as part of the generated CKRecord object. I then confirmed in the CloudKit dev portal that the .ephemeral property was added to the Record schema and contains real values. The behavior seems as though the .ephemeral property is being completely ignored. This is observed in a new Xcode project using SwiftData with CloudKit, Xcode 16.2, macOS 15.3.1 and during Build & Run testing on physical devices.

Dear Apple Developer Support, I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out for guidance on a project that involves sharing heart rate data between an iOS app and an Android app. I have developed a watchOS app that continuously fetches heart rate data from an Apple Watch and displays it in a companion iOS app. Additionally, I have built an Android fitness app using Ionic Angular. My goal is to create a bridge that allows the heart rate data from the iOS app to be displayed continuously in the Android app. I am considering using a backend server (e.g., Node.js) to facilitate this data transfer. Could you please provide any insights or recommendations on the best approach for achieving this cross-platform data sharing? I would appreciate any guidance on potential challenges or limitations I might encounter. Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, Venu Madhav

I have my application named "TestDataPro" in apple store. When I open the application and click on apple icon, my application crash. It is working fine in MACOS version 14.2.1. But it is causing crash in MACOS version 14.5 and 14.6 with having Apple M1 or M2 chip. While for the same MACOS version with having intel chip it is working fine. I have attached crash log. Can you please help me to find the root cause for this? TDPCrashReport.txt
