I have a rather simple StoreKitSubscriptionView for my app's single subscription. Question: Am I expected to write code to handle lack of network connectivity? When I run the app on development device, not using the local StoreKit configuration but rather the real app store, if the network is not available I get a not-user-friendly error message instead of the normal SubscriptionStoreView content. I'm uncertain if end-users actually see this. Maybe they see a more appropriate "Cannot connect to App Store, try later" message? Maybe I am supposed to check for network and not present the view if it is not available. I don't recall any mention of this in the WWDC video but I guess I should check again. Ideas anyone?

Speech Framework I've been checking for SFSpeechRecognitionMetadata to determine the end of a sentence when using Voice Recognition. Yet it doesn't detect small pauses but only large ones, so that I've transcribed basically an entire paragraph before going onto the next one. Besides implementing your own timer, are there any other ways to have more natural pauses to detect the end of sentences, similar to the browser's Web Speech recognition? Since it's in Safari, I assume there should be some similar feature that can be equivalent in MacOS.

We integrated App Store Server notification, to get notified about CONSUMPTION_REQUESTS and REFUND notifications. In the data, we noticed same transactionId have multiple REFUND decisions, usually REFUND_DECLINED and then REFUND. Why is that? Did user contact customer support ? For the second (or later) REFUND decision, CONSUMPTION_REQUEST notifications are usually not sent, but thats not always the case. Sometimes, REFUND decision are the same. Sometimes, we get even 3 or more REFUND related notifications for same transactionId, e.g: 2024-12-02: REFUND_DECLINED 2024-12-05: REFUND_DECLINED 2024-12-12: REFUND Do user request refund again ? Do they contact customer support ? But I can not explain why sometimes status it REFUND at first, but then later REFUND_DECLINED. Thank you already in advance:)

Currently, our company server is using the push service by calling APNS through the p8 certificate. In this process, our server does not have a CA certificate or SSL certificate in use. Only the p8 certificate is installed and only performs the role of calling APNS. If it is used like this, is there no need to update the CA certificate separately? Or do I have to apply a new SSL certificate and add the CA to it? Can someone help me plz?

We are using PacketTunnel as system extension to establish vpn tunnel. The flow is like: Create a PacketTunnelProvide to establish vpn When tunnel gets connected add excludedRoutes by calling setTunnelNetworkSettings(). Result: The routing table is not getting updated with new excludeRoutes entries. As per setTunnelNetworkSettings() documentation: "This function is called by tunnel provider implementations to set the network settings of the tunnel, including IP routes, DNS servers, and virtual interface addresses depending on the tunnel type. Subclasses should not override this method. This method can be called multiple times during the lifetime of a particular tunnel. It is not necessary to call this function with nil to clear out the existing settings before calling this function with a non-nil configuration." So we believe setTunnelNetworkSettings() should be able to set new excludeRoutes. We could see we are passing correct entries to setTunnelNetworkSettings(): { tunnelRemoteAddress = 10.192.229.240 DNSSettings = { protocol = cleartext server = ( 10.192.230.211, 192.168.180.15, ) matchDomains = ( , ) matchDomainsNoSearch = NO } IPv4Settings = { configMethod = manual addresses = ( 100.100.100.17, ) subnetMasks = ( 255.255.255.255, ) includedRoutes = ( { destinationAddress = 1.1.1.1 destinationSubnetMask = 255.255.255.255 gatewayAddress = 100.100.100.17 }, { destinationAddress = 2.2.2.0 destinationSubnetMask = 255.255.255.255 gatewayAddress = 100.100.100.17 }, { destinationAddress = 11.11.11.0 destinationSubnetMask = 255.255.255.0 gatewayAddress = 100.100.100.17 }, ) excludedRoutes = ( { destinationAddress = 170.114.52.2 destinationSubnetMask = 255.255.255.255 }, ) overridePrimary = NO } MTU = 1298 } The problem is present on macOS Sequoia 15.2. Is it a known issue? Did anyone else faced this issue?

Hello the documentation for message filtering has been offline for a few days now, is it possible to get it back, or is there somewhere else it can be viewed in the meanwhile? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sms_and_call_reporting/sms_and_mms_message_filtering (I just chose topic/tags at random, there aren't any relevant for this)

In the documentation for a Message Filter Extension it states: If you have servers that can help your app extension determine how to handle a message, you must add the Associated Domains capability to your Xcode project and specify those domains. (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sms_and_call_reporting/sms_and_mms_message_filtering/creating_a_message_filter_app_extension) The words servers and domains are in the plural. If it's possible to specify multiple servers/domains for a Message Filter Extension then how is that done? There's no documentation nor reference for that. If multiple domains can be added to the info.plist then what is the iOS behavior in that case? Can the extension supply/change which domain is used at run time?

We would like to be able to distinguish between iPhones and Apple Watches when scanning for devices using a Laird BLE module. We know that we can identify an Apple device from the manufacturer data returned in the scan report. 0x004C is the registered identifier for Apple. In the remaining data returned is it possible identify the device type? We note that empirically, 4C001005 seems to correlate to an Apple Watch. How reliable is this? It is useful for us, because it means we do not need to connect to this device to see if it is advertising a service that we own. Connecting over BLE is of course an expensive operation. Here is a simple snippet of a Swift App doing a similar thing, to illustrate the question: func centralManager(_ central: CBCentralManager, didDiscover peripheral: CBPeripheral, advertisementData: [String : Any], rssi RSSI: NSNumber) { guard let manufData: Data = advertisementData[CBAdvertisementDataManufacturerDataKey] as? Data else { return } let hexEncodedManufData: String = manufData.map { String(format: "%02hhx", $0) }.joined() print("Manufacturer Data: \(hexEncodedManufData): ") // Manufacturer Data: 4c001007351ff9f9036238: Apple device // Manufacturer Data: 4c001006331ec0640f88: Apple device // Manufacturer Data: 4c0010052b18804eb1: Apple watch? // Manufacturer Data: 4c0010052b18804eb1: Apple watch? }

I'm considering developing an app where users can create their own subscription plans by freely setting their prices, similar to YouTube's membership feature. I understand that in-app purchases must be used to unlock features within the app. With that in mind, I searched for APIs to enable this functionality but couldn't find relevant information. When I contacted Apple directly, they mentioned that they couldn't provide specific answers unless the app is under review. If anyone has knowledge about the following points, I would greatly appreciate your response: Is it possible to implement a feature similar to YouTube's membership using in-app purchase APIs? If it's not feasible with in-app purchases, is it allowed to use external payment services like Stripe?

In my project, I need to decrypt the encrypted xlsx file and then parse it into xml. Is there any recommended method in iOS

I have sqlite database. I want to share this database file. It gives error after 4.3mb on old devices. But on new devices larger files can be shared. Is there a sharing limit or is there a ram limit etc. situation.

In the sandbox environment, when I quickly and repeatedly purchase an item, Transaction.id will be repeated. Will there be duplication in the production environment? func pay(productId: String, orderId: String) async { guard !productId.isEmpty, !orderId.isEmpty else { return } let orderObj = ApplePayOrderModel.init(orderId: orderId, productId: productId) do { let result = try await Product.products(for: [productId]) guard let product = result.first else { return } let purchaseResult = try await product.purchase() switch purchaseResult { case .success(let verification): switch verification { case .verified(let transaction): orderObj.transactionId = String(transaction.id) await transaction.finish() case .unverified(let transaction, let error): await transaction.finish() } case .userCancelled: break case .pending: break @unknown default: break } } catch { print("error \(error.localizedDescription)") } }

Hello! I have a requirement to read the ICC Public Key Certificate from an EMV credit card to implement a payment validation flow. Aa far as I understand, I can't use Core NFC for that task since it is not supposed to be used for reading sensitive credit card data and it might be rejected by Apple. I'm trying to use Tap To Pay as it seems to offer some general card details. Since Apple's documentation on this side is pretty limited, I'm struggling to understand what is a PaymentCardReader.Token and how can I create one? Can anyone please help me with setting up Tap to Pay?

Dear Apple Support, We are currently in the process of migrating from Apple Server Notifications v1 to v2. As you know, once we switch from v1 to v2 in App Store Connect, this change is irreversible. Our team needs to ensure that our backend environment, developed in Python with Django and using the app-store-server-library==1.5.0, is fully prepared to handle all possible notification types before making that final switch. While we can receive a basic test notification from Apple, it doesn’t provide the range of data or scenarios (e.g., INITIAL_BUY, RENEWAL, GRACE_PERIOD, etc.) that our code must be able to process, store in our database, and respond to accordingly. Without comprehensive, example-rich raw notification data, we are left guessing the structure and full scope of incoming v2 notifications. Could you please provide us with a set of raw, fully representative notification payloads for every notification type supported in v2? With these examples, we can simulate the entire lifecycle of subscription events, verify our logic, and confidently complete our migration. Thank you very much for your assistance.

I have an app available for download in the Apple App Store. The app sends local notifications, which are scheduled at the user's request once the app launches. I've recently learned that when new versions of my app are deployed and automatically update on the user's device, previously scheduled local notifications are deleted. Given my app design, the user can re-launch the app in order to re-schedule the local notifications. This is a bit of a problem, though, because part of my app's value is in reminding the user - so after requesting a local notification, the user expects to receive a local notification and then launch the app, not the other way around. Given this, I've been exploring solutions so my app continues to function as expected (including delivering local notifications, even if the app hasn't yet been launched) after an app update. I've explored .backgroundTasks(), but they too are apparently deleted with an app update and require the app to be re-launched first to work as expected. Another solution might be to use push notifications instead of local notifications, but that seems like a very involved solution if I'm just looking to make sure that local notifications persist after an app update. I can't be the only person to have this dilemma - am I overlooking a simple solution?

​ I developed a Content Filter using the Network Extension, and when deployed to a batch of hosts (50 +), the installation worked for most of them, but there were six exceptions: five of them were macOS 10.15 and one of them was macOS 12.5. ​ The phenomenon of these 6 hosts is: in the System Settings->Network, two content filters with the same name appear. When one of the content filters with the same name is clicked, shows "Please use 'X Agent Extension' to control this content filter configuration" ('X Agent Extension' is the program I developed, this content filter can be deleted by clicking the minus sign in the lower left corner). Click on another content filter with the same name, shows 'Please use 'null' to control this content filter configuration', (but this content filter can't be removed by clicking the minus sign in the bottom left corner). ​ These systems are clean, use CLI 'systemextensionsctl list', and have only one systemextension in the output (this systemextension is my content filter). Online reference "https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/how-to-delete-custom-dns-profile-from-network-preference.2293322/" this paper, by closing the SIP, and delete file '/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkextension.plist', then restart the system can remove the abnormal content filters with the same name. After restarting the system and reinstalling my content filter, the two content filters with the same name disappear (only the Content Filter I reinstalled) and the exception scenario cannot be repeated. ​ I would like to know, why do I have two content filters with the same name, how can I avoid this phenomenon, is there a way to remove the wrong content filter without closing SIP.

At present, I am using the avfoundation external device API to connect my iPad to a DSLR camera for data collection. On my end, I am using AVCapture Video Data Output to obtain raw data for processing and rendering. However, the pixelbuf returned from the system layer is incomplete, with only a portion cropped in the middle. But using the Mac API is normal. I would like to ask how to obtain the complete pixelbuf of the image on iPad

Does anyone know why I set the offer code in Apple Store Connect, but when I call SKPaymentQueue.default().presentCodeRedemptionSheet() in the app, the app icon does not appear and I cannot find the offer code? THX

Something has caused my CloudKit queries to fail. On the dashboard I get an error message "Failed to execute query" when I try to "SORT BY" a field. The field is listed under Indexes as "sortable". For a different field, when I enter the field under "FILTER BY", and before I tap "Query", I get "No results". That field is listed under the Indexes as "queryable". It used to work fine. I have described this further, with screenshots at FB16114560
