Team-scoped keys introduce the ability to restrict your token authentication keys to either development or production environments. Topic-specific keys in addition to environment isolation allow you to associate each key with a specific Bundle ID streamlining key management. For detailed instructions on accessing these features, read our updated documentation on establishing a token-based connection to APNs.

I have several ObjC based apps in the App Store and used to validate the receipt file inside the app in my code, and then reject it with exit(173) if it's invalid, which did trigger macOS to update the receipt if possible. This isn't working any more in recent macOS versions, where the user is instead just told that the app is damaged, and they need to re-install it manually. Which sucks. So I wanted to update my code. I read about SKReceiptRefreshRequest, which is supposed to re-download and install the receipt file, if I understand it correctly. I implemented the code but now have trouble verifying that it works as intended, and does this in a user friendly way. I found in my tests that macOS now caches the receipt in ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstoreagent/fsCachedData and then hardlinks the file into the app. BTW: Sadly, this also requires that the app is located on the startup volume or the system will refuse to install the receipt, which wasn't a requirement in past times. Now, if the receipt is already present in the cache folder, then my code works - the receipt gets re-linked. But what if the cached receipt isn't there, yet? Such as that the user had copied the app from another Mac over to a freshly installed Mac? In the past, when the user then launched the app on the new Mac, he'd be prompted to login to the MAS and if that worked, the receipt would get installed and the app launched. Basically, the question is: What if the receipt validation fails in my app and I request a new receipt, but the user has not yet logged into MAS (e.g. new computer)? To simulate this, I logging out of the MAS and TestFlight, deleting all copies of the app and then run the app that I had copied from another Mac where it was authorized with a valid receipt for that device. If I do this with the old version that uses exit(173), I get these two messages in macOS 15.2: The second one is especially terrible because it shows the translocated path, which the average user surely get quite confused, and then maybe even search in vain for the app in there and get frustrated. But that's out of my hands. Sigh. Now, that was proving that the old method with exit(173) isn't working any more and needs to be changed in my apps. Since I'm still developing (testing) this new behavior, the app is therefore not in the MAS yet - the only way for me to test this is to use TestFlight. However, running a Testflight app copied from another Mac leads to this error: That is not helpful in simulating what would happen if this app was released in the MAS. This won't let me find out what happens if my app is run on a Mac where the receipt fails and I ask it to load it via SKReceiptRefreshRequest and if the user is NOT yet logged into the MAS account for this purchased app of his/hers. That leaves only one option: Release the app with untested code and hope for the best. Contrary to this new behavior, the old method did let me test this easily because I would just use the special App Store tester account with the MAS app, i.e. the built MAS app would, when I launched it locally, request for a login and I'd provide my tester's account. But this isn't available any more, apparently. What a mess.

I'm trying to add Siri support to my app for sending voice messages. I've implemented INSendMessageIntentHandling in my main app target. It looks like it's getting as far as recording the voice message and passing my intent handler an INSendMessageIntent with an audio attachment, but I'm not able to read the attachment file. func handle( intent: INSendMessageIntent, completion: @escaping (INSendMessageIntentResponse) -> Void ) { if let attachment = intent.attachments?.first, let audioFile = attachment.audioMessageFile, let fileURL = audioFile.fileURL { // This branch runs // fileURL is "file:///var/mobile/tmp/SiriMessages/89F738F7-6092-439A-B4FA-2DD9A99F0EED.caf" let result = processMessageAudio(url: fileURL) completion(result) return } // This line isn't reached completion(.init(code: .failure, userActivity: nil)) } private func processMessageAudio(url: URL) -> INSendMessageIntentResponse { var fileRef: ExtAudioFileRef? if url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() { logDebug("File access allowed") } else { // This branch runs logDebug("File access not allowed") } defer { url.stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource() } let openStatus = ExtAudioFileOpenURL(url as CFURL, &fileRef) // openStatus is -54 (kAudio_FilePermissionError) return INSendMessageIntentResponse(code: .failure, userActivity: nil) } I'm not sure what I'm missing. It looks like there should be an audio file, and Siri shows a preview of the audio for confirmation.

I'm working on adding Apple Pay to my web site and I'm getting this error when the element loads. InvalidAccessError: Trying to start an Apple Pay session from an insecure document. Do I need HTTPS on my development site? I have it on my production site, but I've never enabled it for dev. If so, will it work with a self-signed certificate? If not, what does this error mean? How can I resolve it?

Hi All, Had a question. Is there a point to submit anything through the feedback assistant (https://feedbackassistant.apple.com)? I mean it doesn't seem like any engagement occurs through the platform on any issues submitted.

Issue: Using Messages in macOS Sequoia, I stop receiving any messages after 7+ hrs of the system being on. Troubleshooting: any messages sent to the target account doesn't show up when this issue occurs. I'm able to send messages from the target account which is received. only way to get it working is to reboot the computer but those messages sent never arrive to the target account even after reboot. upon reboot the behavior functions as expected. however the issue returns after 7hrs+ after reboot. logout and log back in when the system is in this state doesn't resolve the issue. only a reboot but the issues eventually returns. note the 7hrs+ is tested and is more accurately 7-10 hrs.

I am working on a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) project using the nRF52840 Development Kit (DK), which has been reconfigured to simulate an nRF52805 chip. The firmware is based on Nordic Semiconductor's ble_app_hids_keyboard example, with modifications to implement a BLE HID Gamepad. I am using the S113 SoftDevice and have successfully tested the functionality with Android devices. The gamepad is recognized as a HID device, and it works as expected on Android, verified using the hardwareTester website. However, when I connect the gamepad to an iPhone via BLE, the same hardwareTester website does not respond as it does on Android, indicating that the iPhone does not recognize the device as a gamepad. The BLE connection is established successfully, but it seems iOS does not interpret the HID report descriptor or the BLE HID service correctly. I suspect there might be compatibility issues with the HID descriptor or the GATT attributes for iOS-specific BLE HID requirements. I would like to have some help.

Hi, I have develop the application in the react native. Now this application is related to truck drivers. So we have added load and when they accept the load then we fetch the location to firebase. Now issue is its not working when app close (background) on physical device. We tried on simulator and its working perfectly in the background. But when i make the build and test on physical device its not working for background task.

I previously had an application running at the login window prior to macOS Sequoia. It's a simple program specific to the needs of my company that did it's job. As you've probably guessed, with the move to Sequoia, it no longer works. Having developed this application, I'm fairly familiar with how all this works, so...is there something that changed with the loginwindow context in macOS Sequoia that affected this (and I obviously missed)? I've gone through DTS tickets previously and will again if necessary, but I'm hoping someone can just point out a linker option or build setting that is new with Sequoia. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I hope you’ll all bear with me as I get up to speed. My background is in Unix, procedural languages, mission critical databases and enterprise applications. I’ve just started heading a team with an iOS app used in healthcare that contains confidential patient information (PHI) that's governed by HIPAA and FDA cybersecurity, etc. It seems there’s some contention in the team over whether the app, SQLite db, and medical images belong in the Documents or an Application Support directory in the Library. From everything I’ve read, it seems that Apple’s intent is Library/Application Support. Two questions: Which is the correct location? And hopefully, a few compelling justifications. On one of our iPads, the app stopped displaying what was two years of data in SQLite. I haven’t yet tested for index corruption, however one of the programmers believes this resulted from an iOS update that needed space and cleared data in the cache (but that makes no sense to myself). Feedback highly appreciated. Many thanks, David Why, because somebody has to

I would like to share my specific use case and seek your guidance on implementing it effectively within iOS: We are developing an iOS application that may run simultaneously on multiple devices near each other. The core functionality involves continuous Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) scanning to detect peripherals (beacons) in the range of a central device. The scanning needs to function seamlessly across the following states: • Foreground • Background • Locked mode (when the device is locked) Here are the detailed requirements: 1. Scanning Behavior: • The central device should continuously scan for nearby BLE peripherals (beacons). • If a new peripheral comes into range, the application should capture its data, including: • Device Name • MAC Address • Payload Data • RSSI (Signal Strength) 2. Peripheral Out-of-Range Handling: • If a detected peripheral (beacon) moves out of range, it should automatically be removed from the populated list displayed on the app. 3. Peripheral Reappearance: • If a peripheral (beacon) that moved out of range comes back into range, the application should detect it again and repopulate the list with updated data seamlessly. 4. Application State: • This behavior (scanning, detection, and updating) should work regardless of the app’s state: • Foreground • Background • Device Locked FYI, we are using Custom Ruuvi beacons Given the above requirements, I would greatly appreciate any guidance, suggestions, or best practices to implement this use case efficiently while adhering to iOS background execution and Bluetooth limitations.

Hi, I am trying to build a command line app that read local mov files and print the text to the terminal. When I open the file with VNImageRequestHandler(url: url), where the url is a hardcode path to my desktop file, the terminal reports CRImage Reader Detector was given zero-dimensioned image (0 x 0). Anyone can help? Thanks!

I am trying to find solutions past 4 days. but not getting any reference about NFC implementation in my app to read Debit/Credit card upon user consent? Can you confirm apple is provided any api for read Debit/Credit card using NFC or not. Tried with normal NFCReader but it reads only for normal tags but nothing with Visa/ MasterCard cards. Looking forward some help from you. Thanks

We have a user that's shared screenshots indicating that they're the recipient of a subscription to our app through Family Sharing, but when we look for the transaction in Transaction.currentEntitlements there's nothing there, even after calling AppStore.sync. Should we expect to see a transaction in current entitlements? How can we determine whether it's our bug or Apple's?

on MacOS I am using raw socket and PF_Route options to monitor the routing table changes but looks like that is not supported in iOS what are the other ways to achieve real time monitoring in iOS ?

Good day. Installed Sequoia Developer Beta. After that, the laptop started to behave incorrectly, programs over 1 GB stopped installing, updates were not installed, sometimes it rebooted spontaneously. Decided to roll back. With the help of another Macbook, I managed to install 14.6.1. Errors remained. Updates are not installed. Tried to restore through the recovery menu, error at 52 minutes, using a boot disk, the same error. What else can I do? Mac Book Pro M1 16gb/2tb
