Merhaba, iOS üzerinde bir sözleşme onay uygulaması geliştiriyorum. Kullanıcıların dijital ortamda sözleşmeleri okuyup onaylaması gerekiyor. Ancak hukuki geçerlilik konusunda bazı tereddütlerim vardı. Bursa’da yaşayan biri olarak bu konuda bir avukata danışmam gerekti. Şans eseri https://www.avukatcanata.com ile karşılaştım ve hem bireysel hem ticari sözleşmeler konusunda gerçekten çok net açıklamalar sundular. Özellikle elektronik imza ve KVKK uyumu hakkında verdikleri bilgiler sayesinde projemi yasal zemine oturtabildim. Eğer bu tarz uygulamalar geliştiriyorsanız, mutlaka bir hukukçu görüşü alın. Yanlış bir adım size veya kullanıcınıza ciddi sonuçlar doğurabilir. Teşekkürler 🍏

在将游戏从 Nintendo Switch 移植到 Mac 的过程中使用 .NET （NativeAOT） 有哪些限制和注意事项（尽管两者都是 ARM）？

I have an issue when i use external tester with a public link and emails. Test fly is well installed but when i have to open the app, it just charge as seen in the screen.

I’m a registered iOS developer, and I’ve been facing an issue with installing iOS developer updates for the past couple of years. I can download the updates, but they get stuck at 99.9% complete and don’t finish. I’ve tried following the instructions to force restart the phone, but it stays on the Apple logo screen until it dies. I can update official iOS versions, but not beta versions. To update, I have to put the phone in DFU mode and install the update that way. This is frustrating and prevents me from making timely updates to my app and from diagnosing new issues during testing. I’d like to request that Apple investigate this issue and identify a solution. For reference, I’ve installed a bare-bones version with no new apps, and the problem persists. I would like a resolution that allows me to update normally without having to DFU the phone each time. This occurs via OTA or IPSW manual download and installation. Please refer to the following FB submission numbers: FB21642029 and FB21017894. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND BACK TO THIS MESSAGE AND HELP ME TROUBLESHOOT THIS ISSUE?!

Apologies if this isn't tagged right but dev tools and services seemed the most appropriate since this is related to the workbench Ad Tester tool. I'm seeing a behavior where the preview link is not being generated. Specifically, I am seeing a POST request to the following URL consistently fail: https://iadworkbench.apple.com/adtester/api/v1/ads/previewLink?orgId=1127861 Variations/scenarios I have tried so far: All possible ad format choices on all possible devices All options for the placement type Both third party and uploaded creative sources Uploaded creative sources appear to be failing to upload as well A simple div with a "hello world" content fails as a third party creative source Multiple apple accounts I created a new account specifically to test if my primary apple ID was experiencing issues with this Multiple browsers I have tried multiple versions of Chrome/Firefox/Safari I tested with and without browser extensions to determine whether an extension was interfering or not Clearing session/local storage along with cookies I also created new profiles in browsers to verify that I was getting a fresh browser environment In all of these cases, the API request to generate a preview link is consistently failing with a 500 error code. It's worth noting that the web preview option works, but this isn't a truly accurate test environment and can't be solely relied on when testing ad content. I don't know exactly when this started happening as I have not used it in the last couple of weeks but I have used the workbench ad tester extensively in the past the same way I have been trying with my current test without issue. That coupled with the fact that the request for the preview link consistently fails in all of the test scenarios I've outlined above leads me to believe there is a problem with the API that is responsible for generating the preview links.

I am located in Taiwan and recently updated my Mac to the latest OS and installed the newest Xcode. However, I’m experiencing extremely slow download speeds when trying to add the iOS 26.2 Simulator Runtime (approx. 8GB) via Xcode > Settings > Platforms. It is currently downloading at a rate of only 500MB per hour, which is impractical. I have checked the official downloads page but couldn't find a standalone DMG link for this specific version. My questions are: Is there a direct download link (DMG) available on the Apple Developer portal for the iOS 26.2 Simulator? If no direct link exists, are there any recommended methods to accelerate the download? (e.g., using terminal commands or changing DNS settings). Any help or direct URLs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

So I'm testing a microapp that is contained in an IPFS folder. I use a web3 website that is used to view NFTs and their IPFS files. The app has gyro controls, which are enabled through a confirmation gesture. In iOS 18.5, when I press "Request Permission" button I get the popup to allow the app to acess movement and orientation. In iOS26, pressing the button does nothing. Keep in mind that this only happens through the website, that uses iframes. When I load the IPFS file from a direct link, the popup appears with no issue. I think this might be because iOS26 uses WebGPU or it might be a bug since iOS26 is still in beta.

I need to install the AirPlay profile on an iphone to watch decrypted traffic in ATS for development work on CarPlay. The documentation for ATS says to click "Utilities -> Download Profiles -> AirPlay Diagnostic Mode". When I do this, it brings up a file dialog, presumably to select a location to download. But nothing happens. The other profiles launch a web browser and download the .mobileconfig profile. How do I get the AirPlay profile? Am I misunderstanding how this is supposed to work? I found ATSAssetsInfoDefault.plist which references these files. And they all have https://developer.apple.com/services-account/download?path=/iOS/iOS_Logs/... except the AirPlay profile, which is type "slug" and just says ats-airplay-diagnostic-mode-profile. Is this a bug in the app?

Hi, I requested the https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=6482849843&country=us for getting the information of Goods puzzle sort challange , but the screenshotUrls in the response was empty. Is iTunes search API has issue with getting the screenshot urls ? Is there any plan to update it ?

I'm a newbie to on-demand resources and I feel like I'm missing something very obvious. I've successfully tagged and set up ODR in my Xcode project, but now I want to upload the assets to my own server so I can retrieve them from within the app, and I can't figure out how to export the files I need. I'm following the ODR Guide and I'm stuck at Step #4, after I've selected my archive in the Archives window it says to "Click the Export button", but this is what I see: As shown in the screenshot, there is no export button visible. I have tried different approaches, including distributing to appstore connect, and doing a local development release. The best I've been able to do is find a .assetpack folder inside the archive package through the finder, but uploading that, or the asset.car inside it, just gives me a "cannot parse response" error from the ODR loading code. I've verified I uploaded those to the correct URL. Can anyone walk me through how to save out the file(s) I need, in a form I can just upload to my server? Thanks, Pete

The app I'm working on has iOS 16.0 as target. Recently Live Activities support was added, but then it started crashing when running on iOS 16.0 devices. After some investigation, I've found that the culprit was the presence of NSUserActivityTypeLiveActivity and WidgetCenter.UserInfoKey.activityID, even though they were inside an @available(iOS 17.2, *) block. If I comment these two variables, the app work as expected. I've also tried adding #if canImport(ActivityKit) around the code, but without success. But if the @available isn't working, how can I prevent this? It looks like a bug, since the documentation says that NSUserActivityTypeLiveActivity is supported but iOS 14.0+, but I'm pretty sure it was introduced on 16.1. This is the only output I get with the crash: dyld[66888]: Symbol not found: _$s9WidgetKit0A6CenterC11UserInfoKeyV10activityIDSSvgZ Referenced from: <D6EFF120-2681-34C1-B261-8F3F7B388238> /Users/<redacted>/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/8B5B4DC9-3D54-4C91-8C88-E705E851CA0F/data/Containers/Bundle/Application/DB6671FF-CB07-4570-BD63-C851D94FAF29/<redacted>.app/<redacted>.debug.dylib Expected in: <C5E72BB5-533F-3658-A987-E849888F4DFC> /Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Volumes/iOS_20A360/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Profiles/Runtimes/iOS 16.0.simruntime/Contents/Resources/RuntimeRoot/System/Library/Frameworks/WidgetKit.framework/WidgetKit

Hi everyone. I’m working on an iOS app that uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send push notifications. I’m encountering an issue when trying to send notifications either from Firebase Functions or directly using the FCM token with the Firebase Admin SDK and REST API. Error Message: FirebaseMessagingError: Auth error from APNS or Web Push Service code: 'messaging/third-party-auth-error' message: 'Auth error from APNS or Web Push Service' What I’ve Set Up: iOS App Registered in Firebase Bundle ID: Kilovative-Designs.ParkAware APNs Key downloaded from Apple Developer Portal Team ID and Key ID correctly entered in Firebase Console Firebase Admin SDK Service Account setup and used for sending Device is successfully receiving FCM tokens Subscribed to topics and calling Messaging.messaging().subscribe(toTopic:) works Using firebase-admin to send FCM messages via sendToDevice or sendToTopic What I’ve Tried: Tested push via firebase-admin in Node.js (got same APNs auth error) Tested with both topic-based and direct token-based push Confirmed the .p8 key is uploaded in Firebase, with correct Key ID and Team ID Tried generating a new APNs Auth Key Firebase Admin SDK is initialized with the correct service account Using Node.js firebase-admin with a known good FCM token, and sending this payload: { notification: { title: "Test Notification", body: "This is a direct FCM test" }, token: "cxleOwi73EhFh9C5_V4hED:APA91bE3W..." } Returns: FirebaseMessagingError: Auth error from APNS or Web Push Service Questions: Are there known conditions under which Firebase throws this error even if the APNs Auth Key is present? Does the Bundle ID need to start with com. in the Apple Developer Portal and Firebase for APNs authentication to work? Could this be a certificate or provisioning profile mismatch issue (even when using a .p8 key)? Is there a way to manually validate APNs authentication from Firebase outside of actual push delivery? Any insight or guidance would be incredibly helpful. I’m new to developing and have tried repeated efforts to fix this issue but still haven’t resolved it. Thanks in advance!

I have developed a Swift macro called @CodableInit in the SwiftCodableMacro module, and I’m able to use it successfully in my main project. Here’s an example usage: import SwiftCodableMacro @CodableInit // This is for Codable macros public class ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin { public var identifier: UUID = UUID() // MARK: - Codable required public init(from decoder:Decoder) throws { let values = try decoder.container(keyedBy: CodingKeys.self) identifier = try values.decode(UUID.self, forKey: .identifier) } } However, when I try to write a unit test for the ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin class, I encounter an issue. Here's the test case: func testCodableSubjectIdentifierShouldEqualDecodedSubjectIdentifier() { self.measure { let encoder = JSONEncoder() let data = try? encoder.encode(subject) //Here I am getting this error Class 'JSONEncoder' requires that 'ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin' conform to 'Encodable' let decoder = JSONDecoder() let decodedSubject = try? decoder.decode(ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin.self, from: data!) XCTAssertEqual(subject.identifier, decodedSubject?.identifier) } } The compiler throws an error saying: Class 'JSONEncoder' requires that 'ErrorMonitoringWebPlugin' conform to 'Encodable' Even though the @CodableInit macro is supposed to generate conformance, it seems that this macro-generated code is not visible or active inside the test target. How can I ensure that the @CodableInit macro (from SwiftCodableMacro) is correctly applied and recognized within the XCTest target of my main project?

I regularly bump into folks confused by this issue, so I thought I’d collect my thoughts on the topic into a single (hopefully) coherent post. If you have questions or comments, put them in a new thread here on the forums. Feel free to use whatever subtopic and tags that apply to your situation, but make sure to add the Debugging tag so that I see your thread go by. Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@" + "apple.com" Testing and Debugging Code Running in the Background I regularly see questions like this: My background code works just fine in Xcode but fails when I download the app from the App Store. or this: … or fails when I run my app from the Home screen. or this: How do I step through my background code? These suggest a fundamental misunderstanding of how the debugger interacts with iOS’s background execution model. The goal of this post is to explain that misunderstanding so that you can effectively test and debug background code. Note The focus of this post is iOS. The advice here generally applies to any of iOS’s ‘child’ platforms, so iPadOS, tvOS, and so on. However, there will be some platform specific differences, especially on watchOS. This advice here doesn’t apply to macOS. It’s background execution model is completely different than the one used by iOS. Understand the Fundamentals The key point to note here is that the debugger prevents your app from suspending. This has important consequences for iOS’s background execution model. Normally: iOS suspends your app when it’s in the background. Once your app is suspended, it becomes eligible for termination. The most common reason for this is that the system wants to recover memory, but it can happen for various other reasons. For example, the system might terminate a suspended app in order to update it. Under various circumstances your app can continue running after moving to the background. A great example of this is the continued processed task feature, introduced in iOS 26 beta. Alternatively, your app can be resumed or relaunched in the background to perform some task. For example, the region monitor feature of Core Location can resume or relaunch your app in the background when the user enters or leaves a region. If no app needs to be executing, the system can sleep the CPU. None of this happens in the normal way if the debugger is attached to your app, and it’s vital that you take that into account when debugging code that runs in the background. An Example of the Problem For an example of how this can cause problems, imagine an app that uses an URLSession background session. A background session will resume or relaunch your app in the background when specific events happen. This involves two separate code paths: If your app is suspended, the session resumes it in the background. If your app is terminated, it relaunches it in the background. Neither code path behaves normally if the debugger is attached. In the first case, the app never suspends, so the resume case isn’t properly exercised. Rather, your background session acts like it would if your app were in the foreground. Normally this doesn’t cause too many problems, so this isn’t a huge concern. On the other hand, the second case is much more problematic. The debugger prevents your app from suspending, and hence from terminating, and thus you can’t exercise this code path at all. Seek Framework-Specific Advice The above is just an example, and there are likely other things to keep in mind when debugging background code for a specific framework. Consult the documentation for the framework you’re working with to see if it has specific advice. Note For URLSession background sessions, check out Testing Background Session Code. The rest of this post focuses on the general case, offering advice that applies to all frameworks that support background execution. Run Your App Outside of Xcode When debugging background execution, launch your app from the Home screen. For day-to-day development: Run the app from Xcode in the normal way (Product > Run). Stop it. Run it again from the Home screen. Alternatively, install a build from TestFlight. This accurately replicates the App Store install experience. Write Code with Debugging in Mind It’s obvious that, if you run the app without attaching the debugger, you won’t be able to use the debugger to debug it. Rather: Extract the core logic of your code into libraries, and then write extensive unit tests for those libraries. You’ll be able to debug these unit tests with the debugger. Add log points to help debug your integration with the system. Treat your logging as a feature of your product. Carefully consider where to add log points and at what level to log. Check this logging code into your source code repository and ship it — or at least the bulk of it — as part of your final product. This logging will be super helpful when it comes to debugging problems that only show up in the field. My general advice is that you use the system log for these log points. See Your Friend the System Log for lots of advice on that front. One of the great features of the system log is that disabled log points are very cheap. In most cases it’s fine to leave these in your final product. Attach and Detach In some cases it really is helpful to debug with the debugger. One option here is to attach to your running app, debug a specific thing, and then detach from it. Specifically: To attach to a running app, choose Debug > Attach to Process > YourAppName in Xcode. To detach, choose Debug > Detach. Understand Force Quit iOS allows users to remove an app from the multitasking UI. This is commonly known as force quit, but that’s not a particularly accurate term: The multitasking UI doesn’t show apps that are running, it shows apps that have been run by the user. The UI shows recently run apps regardless of whether they’re in the foreground, running in the background, suspended, or terminated. So, removing an app from the UI may not actually quit anything. Removing an app sets a flag that prevents the app from being launched in the background. That flag gets cleared when the user next launches the app manually. Note In some circumstances iOS will not honour this flag. The exact cases where this happens are not documented and have changed over time. Keep these behaviours in mind as you debug your background execution code. For example, imagine you’re trying to test the URLSession background relaunch code path discussed above. If you force quit your app, you’ll never hit this code path because iOS won’t relaunch your app in the background. Rather, add a debug-only button that causes your app to call exit. IMPORTANT This suggestion is for debugging only. Don’t include a Quit button in your final app! This is specifically proscribed by QA1561. Alternatively, if you’re attached to your app with Xcode, simply choose Product > Stop. This is like calling exit; it has no impact on your app’s ability to run in the background. Test With Various Background App Refresh Settings iOS puts users in control of background execution via the options in Settings > General > Background App Refresh. Test how your app performs with the following settings: Background app refresh turned off overall Background app refresh turned on in general but turned off for your app Background app refresh turned on in general and turned on for your app IMPORTANT While these settings are labelled Background App Refresh, they affect subsystems other than background app refresh. Test all of these cases regardless of what specific background execution feature you’re using. Test Realistic User Scenarios In many cases you won’t be able to fully test background execution code at your desk. Rather, install a TestFlight build of your app and then use the device as a normal user would. For example: To test Core Location background execution properly, actual leave your office and move around as a user might. To test background app refresh, use your app regularly during the day and then put your device on charge at night. Testing like this requires two things: Patience Good logging The system log may be sufficient here, but you might need to investigate other logging solutions that are more appropriate for your product. These testing challenges are why it’s critical that you have unit tests to exercise your core logic. It takes a lot of time to run integration tests like this, so you want to focus on integration issues. Before starting your integration tests, make sure that your unit tests have flushed out any bugs in your core logic.

Hi, I’m having trouble installing GPT 1.1 on macOS Sequoia 15.3.1 using Xcode Command Line Tools 16.0. I downloaded Evaluation Environment for Windows Games 2.1, mounted the image, and opened the README file. Then, I followed Option 2 to build the environment from scratch: Set up your development and Homebrew environment Ensure you are using Command Line Tools for Xcode 15.1. You can download this older version from: https://developer.apple.com/downloads Note: There is a header file layout change that prevents using newer versions of the macOS SDK. softwareupdate --install-rosetta arch -x86_64 zsh /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" which brew brew tap apple/apple http://github.com/apple/homebrew-apple brew -v install apple/apple/game-porting-toolkit At first, I noticed that I needed to use CLT 15.1, which is not supported on later macOS versions (including mine). Even when I tried using 15.3 (which is somehow supported), I received a message stating that I needed CLT v16.0 or higher to install GPT. After following all the steps and waiting for the installation to complete, I got the following error: ==> Installing apple/apple/game-porting-toolkit ==> Staging /Users/tycjanfalana/Library/Caches/Homebrew/downloads/7baed2a6fd34b4a641db7d1ea1e380ccb2f457bb24cd8043c428b6c10ea22932--crossover-sources-22.1.1.tar.gz in /private/tmp/game-porting-toolkit-20250316-15122-yxo3un ==> Patching ==> /private/tmp/game-porting-toolkit-20250316-15122-yxo3un/wine/configure --prefix=/usr/local/Cellar/game-porting-toolkit/1.1 --disable-win16 --disable-tests --without-x --without-pulse --without-dbus --without-inotify --without-alsa --without-capi --without-oss --without-udev --without-krb5 --enable-win64 --with-gnutls --with-freetype --with-gstreamer CC=/usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang CXX=/usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang++ checking build system type... x86_64-apple-darwin24.3.0 checking host system type... x86_64-apple-darwin24.3.0 checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang checking whether the C compiler works... no configure: error: in `/private/tmp/game-porting-toolkit-20250316-15122-yxo3un/wine64-build': configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details ==> Formula Tap: apple/apple Path: /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Taps/apple/homebrew-apple/Formula/game-porting-toolkit.rb ==> Configuration HOMEBREW_VERSION: 4.4.24 ORIGIN: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew HOMEBREW_PREFIX: /usr/local Homebrew Ruby: 3.3.7 => /usr/local/Homebrew/Library/Homebrew/vendor/portable-ruby/3.3.7/bin/ruby CPU: 14-core 64-bit westmere Clang: 16.0.0 build 1600 Git: 2.39.5 => /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/git Curl: 8.7.1 => /usr/bin/curl macOS: 15.3.1-x86_64 CLT: 16.0.0.0.1.1724870825 Xcode: N/A Rosetta 2: true ==> ENV HOMEBREW_CC: clang HOMEBREW_CXX: clang++ CFLAGS: [..] Error: apple/apple/game-porting-toolkit 1.1 did not build Logs: /Users/xyz/Library/Logs/Homebrew/game-porting-toolkit/00.options.out /Users/xyz/Library/Logs/Homebrew/game-porting-toolkit/01.configure /Users/xyz/Library/Logs/Homebrew/game-porting-toolkit/01.configure.cc /Users/xyz/Library/Logs/Homebrew/game-porting-toolkit/wine64-build If reporting this issue, please do so to (not Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/homebrew-core): apple/apple In config.log, I found this: configure:4672: checking for gcc configure:4704: result: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang configure:5057: checking for C compiler version configure:5066: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang --version >&5 clang version 8.0.0 Target: x86_64-apple-darwin24.3.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin configure:5077: $? = 0 configure:5066: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang -v >&5 clang version 8.0.0 Target: x86_64-apple-darwin24.3.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin configure:5077: $? = 0 configure:5066: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang -V >&5 clang-8: error: argument to '-V' is missing (expected 1 value) clang-8: error: no input files configure:5077: $? = 1 configure:5066: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang -qversion >&5 clang-8: error: unknown argument '-qversion', did you mean '--version'? clang-8: error: no input files configure:5077: $? = 1 configure:5066: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang -version >&5 clang-8: error: unknown argument '-version', did you mean '--version'? clang-8: error: no input files configure:5077: $? = 1 configure:5097: checking whether the C compiler works configure:5119: /usr/local/opt/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/bin/clang [...] dyld[15547]: Symbol not found: _lto_codegen_debug_options_array Referenced from: <E33DCAC4-3116-3019-8003-432FB3E66FB4> /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/ld Expected in: <43F5C676-DE37-3F0E-93E1-BF793091141E> /usr/local/Cellar/game-porting-toolkit-compiler/0.1/lib/libLTO.dylib clang-8: error: unable to execute command: Abort trap: 6 clang-8: error: linker command failed due to signal (use -v to see invocation) configure:5123: $? = 254 configure:5163: result: no configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h */ | #define PACKAGE_NAME "Wine" | #define PACKAGE_TARNAME "wine" | #define PACKAGE_VERSION "7.7" | #define PACKAGE_STRING "Wine 7.7" | #define PACKAGE_BUGREPORT "" | #define PACKAGE_URL "" | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | int | main (void) | { | | ; | return 0; | } configure:5168: error: in `/private/tmp/game-porting-toolkit-20250316-15122-yxo3un/wine64-build': configure:5170: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log` for more details Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

On macOS, I get a system popup when running UI tests in GitHub saying: “bash” is requesting to bypass the system private window picker and directly access your screen and audio. How can I prevent these login and screen access popups from appearing during automated UI tests? Is there an official setup or configuration for running IntelliJ UI tests in CI environments (macOS, Linux, Windows) to avoid such dialogs? My builds run in GitHub Actions VMs, so I can’t manually grant these permissions, and they block the tests.
