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.

The target was chosen as IPhone and IPad. I can also run this build on my IPad. The info.plist content of all our other applications is the same and there were no problems until today. I don't understand why it is being rejected now.

Hi everyone,
I’m hoping someone here can shed some light on what’s going on with Apple’s one-hour security delay when trying to register an iPhone for development use.
I’m currently setting up an app build using Expo / EAS and a paid Apple Developer account. Every time I scan the device registration QR code or try to authorise my iPhone as a development device, I get hit with a “security delay — try again in one hour” message.
This happens every single time, even if I wait the full hour. The device is the same iPhone I always use, signed in to the same Apple ID, and verified with 2FA.
The only thing unusual about my setup is that I’m using Starlink for internet access. Because Starlink uses dynamic IP routing and your exit node changes frequently (depending on which satellite or ground station you’re on), it looks like I’m signing in from a new location each time — sometimes even hundreds of miles apart.
It seems that Apple’s security system flags each of these as a “new login” or “new device registration,” then enforces a one-hour safety lockout. That makes it basically impossible to register my device and proceed with iOS builds or testing.
Has anyone else run into this problem while using Starlink (or other dynamic-routing connections like VPNs or cellular hotspots)?
And if so — is there any known workaround or setting to whitelist a device, stabilise verification, or bypass the repeated one-hour wait?
This feels like an over-protective security feature that doesn’t play well with modern satellite internet setups.
Any insights from the Apple engineers or other developers would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim Lazenby

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:

Hello Apple community !
Not here to report an issue but I just wanted to make a suggestion ^^
I feel like a common frustration amongst developers is the lack of transparency over bugs filed on developer tools, SDKs, iOS versions, the whole Apple ecosystem really.
This leads to the creation of parallel bug tracking tools (https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports?tab=readme-ov-file /
https://openradar.appspot.com/page/1) or filing of duplicates for reports that may already exist and are being worked on.
I feel like this would save time for both external developers that encounter bugs & Apple engineers that have to look for possible duplicates to share a common public database of issues.
Other companies have this kind of system in place (Google for example : https://issuetracker.google.com/) so why not Apple ?
Thank you
Was working ok, then after my latest attempt at submitting a .PKG it crashes right after displaying the list of previous submitted things.
This make it impossible to make progress with my project, unless there's another way of getting it to TestFlight (not using Xcode).

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 🍏
First time user here. Trying to build my React-Native app on xcode. I keep getting "Could not build Module" and "missing package product" and tried many combination for my Podfile.
I am on macbook pro M2, XCode version 16.2, building on iphone 16 v18.3.1. Pod version 1.16.2, react-native-cli:2.0.1,
Here is my Podfile. I tried to assign modular_headers to individual Firebase packages but then I cant pod install.
require_relative '../node_modules/react-native/scripts/react_native_pods'
require_relative '../node_modules/@react-native-community/cli-platform-ios/native_modules'

For the Linux version of my application which is written in C++ using Qt, I display the CHM format help files with this code:
QString helpFile{ QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath() + "/Help/" + tr("DeepSkyStacker Help.chm","IDS_HELPFILE") };
QString program{ "kchmviewer" };
QStringList arguments{ "-token", "com.github.deepskystacker", helpFile };
helpProcess->startDetached(program, arguments);
(helpProcess is a pointer to a QProcess object)
The -token com.github.deepskystackerpart of that ensures that only a single instance of the viewer is used for any code that uses that invocation.
Are there any chm file viewers for macOS that are capable of that sort of trick? The ones I've found on the App Store give minimal information and appear to be very simple minded tools that are not not intended for integration into an application as above.
I know that MacPorts offers ports of kchmviewer but I'd prefer not to use either that or HomeBrew ...

关于通过Advanced commerce API 创建SKU,有几个问题:
1、通过Advanced commerce API创建的自动续费订阅的SKU是否支持推介优惠、促销优惠?如果可以,是在苹果connect设置吗?
2、已订阅通过connect创建的SKU的用户,是否可以重复订阅通过Advanced commerce API创建的SKU?还是要通过Advanced commerce API变更订阅?
3、Advanced commerce API创建的SKU ,用户订阅成功后,续费的扣款是否仍由苹果发起?还是由开发者自行发起?
I am developing an Augmented Reality (AR) navigation application for the iPad, utilizing the ARCL library to place Points of Interest (POIs) in the real world.
The application's behavior varies significantly based on the device's networking configuration:
Cellular Network (Expected Behavior): On an iPad with a cellular modem, when using the cellular network, all POIs are placed accurately with correct orientation.
Wi-Fi Only (Expected Behavior): On a Wi-Fi-only model (no GPS chip), POI placement is inaccurate, confirming the need for an external GPS receiver for that hardware configuration.
Cellular + Wi-Fi (Anomalous Behavior):
The iPad is a cellular model (equipped with GNSS/GPS).
The device is connected to a Wi-Fi network (enforced via an MDM profile, preventing the user from disabling Wi-Fi).
When actively connected to this specific Wi-Fi network, the AR POIs consistently display with an incorrect orientation and placement, even though the device hardware has a dedicated GPS chip. The placement error strongly suggests that the device's determined location or heading is erroneous. It appears that the active Wi-Fi connection is somehow interfering with or overriding the high-accuracy GNSS/GPS data, leading to a flawed Core Location determination that negatively impacts the ARCL world tracking and anchor placement.
Has anyone experienced a scenario where an active Wi-Fi connection on a cellular iPad model causes Core Location to prioritize less accurate location data (potentially Wi-Fi-based location services) over the device's built-in GNSS/GPS, resulting in severe orientation errors? We observed that on Apple map(native application) as well it is showing wrong location and orientation when it is connected to WiFi

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.
I regularly see questions from folks who’ve run into problems with their third-party IDE on macOS. Specifically, the issue is that their IDE is invoking Apple’s command-line tools — things like clang and ld — and that’s failing in some way. This post collects my ideas on how to investigate, and potentially resolve, issues like this.
If you have any questions or comments, please put them in a new thread here on DevForums. Tag it appropriately so that I see it. Good tags include Compiler, Linker, LLVM, and Command Line Tools.
Share and Enjoy

Investigating Third-Party IDE Integration Problems
Many third-party IDEs rely on Apple tools. For example, the IDE might run clang to compile C code or run ld to link object files. These IDEs typically don’t include the tools themselves. Rather, they rely on you to install Xcode or Apple’s Command Line Tools package. These are available at Apple > Developer > Downloads
Occasionally I see folks having problems with this. They most typically report that basic stuff, like compiling a simple C program, fails with some mysterious error. If you’re having such a problem, follow the steps below to investigate it.
IMPORTANT Some IDEs come with their own tools for compiling and linking. Such IDEs are not the focus of this post. If you have problems with an IDE like that, contact its vendor.
Select Your Tools
macOS has a concept of the current command-line tools. This can either point to the tools within Xcode or to an installed Command Line Tools package. To see which tools are currently selected, run xcode-select with the --print-path argument. This is what you’ll see if you have Xcode installed in the Applications folder:
% xcode-select --print-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
Note All of the tools I discuss here are documented in man pages. If you’re not familiar with those, see Reading UNIX Manual Pages.
And this is what you’ll see with a Command Line Tools package selected.
% xcode-select --print-path
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
There are two common problems with this:
It points to something you’ve deleted.
It points to something unexpected.
Run the command above to see the current state. If necessary, change the state using the --switch option. For example:
% xcode-select --print-path
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
% clang -v
Apple clang version 14.0.3 (clang-1403.0.22.14.1)
…
% sudo xcode-select --switch ~/XcodeZone/Xcode-beta.app
% clang -v
Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.0.38.1)
…
I have Xcode 14.3 in the Applications folder and thus clang runs Clang 14.0.3. I have Xcode 15.0b5 in ~/XcodeZone, so switching to that yields Clang 15.0.0.
It’s possible to run one specific command with different tools. See Select Your Tools Temporarily, below.
Run a Simple Test
A good diagnostic test is to use the selected command-line tools to compile a trivial test program. Consider this C [1] example:
% cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
printf("Hello Cruel World!\n");
return 0;
}
% clang -o hello hello.c
% ./hello
Hello Cruel World!
IMPORTANT If possible, run this from Terminal rather than, say, over SSH.
You may need to expand this test program to exercise your specific case. For example, if your program is hitting an error when it tries to import the Core Foundation framework, add that import to your test program:
% cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <CoreFoundation/CoreFoundation.h>
int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
printf("Hello Cruel World!\n");
return 0;
}
When you compile your test program, you might see one of these results:
Your test program compiles.
Your test program fails with a similar error.
Your test program fails with a different error.
I’ll explore each case in turn.
[1] For a C++ example, see C++ Issues, below.
If your test program compiles…
If your test program compiles from the shell, that proves that your basic command-line tools setup is fine. If the same program fails to compile in your IDE, there’s something IDE-specific going on here. I can’t help you with that. I recommend that you escalate the issue via the support channel for your IDE.
If your test program fails with a similar error…
If your test program fails with an error similar to the one you’re seeing in your IDE, there are two possibilities:
There’s a bug in your test program’s code.
There’s an environmental issue that’s affecting your command-line tools setup.
Don’t rule out the first possibility. I regularly see folks bump into problems like this, where it turns out to be a bug in their code. For a specific example, see C++ Issues, below.
Assuming, however, that your test program’s code is OK, it’s time to investigate environmental issues. See Vary Your Environment, below.
If your test program fails with a different error…
If your test program fails with a different error, look at the test program’s code to confirm that it’s correct, and that it accurately reflects the code you’re trying to run in your IDE.
Vary Your Environment
If your test program fails with the same error as you’re seeing in your IDE, and you are sure that the code is correct, it’s time to look for environmental factors. I typically do this with the steps described in the next sections, which are listed from most to least complex.
These steps only tell you where things are going wrong, not what is going wrong. However, that’s often enough to continue the investigation of your issue.
Vary Your Shell
Try running your commands in a different shell. macOS’s default shell is zsh. Try running your commands in bash instead:
% bash
…
bash-3.2$ clang -o hello hello.c
bash-3.2$ ./hello
Hello Cruel World!
Or if you’ve switched your shell to bash, try it in zsh.
Vary Your User Account
Some problems are caused by settings tied to your user account. To investigate whether that’s an issue here:
Use System Settings > Users & Groups to create a new user.
Log in as that user.
Run your test again.
Vary Your Mac
Some problems are system wide, so you need to test on a different Mac. The easiest way to do that is to set up a virtual machine (VM) and run your test there. Or, if you have a separate physical Mac, run your test on that.
Vary Your Site
If you’re working for an organisation, they may have installed software on your Mac that causes problems. If you have a Mac at home, try running your test there.
It’s also possible that your network is causing problems [1]. If you have a laptop, try taking it to a different location to see if that changes things.
[1] I rarely see this when building a simple test program, but it do see it with other stuff, like code signing.
C++ Issues
If you’re using C++, here’s a simple test you can try:
% cat hello.cpp
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello Cruel World!\n";
}
% clang++ -o hello hello.cpp
% ./hello
Hello Cruel World!
A classic problem with C++ relates to name mangling. Consider this example:
% cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include "hello-core.h"
int main(int argc, char ** argv) {
HCSayHello();
return 0;
}
% cat hello-core.cpp
#include "hello-core.h"
#include <iostream>
extern void HCSayHello() {
std::cout << "Hello Cruel World!\n";
}
% cat hello-core.h
extern void HCSayHello();
% clang -c hello.c
% clang++ -c hello-core.cpp
% clang++ -o hello hello.o hello-core.o
Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
"_HCSayHello", referenced from:
_main in hello.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
The issue here is that C++ generates a mangled name for HCSayHello:
% nm hello-core.o | grep HCSayHello
0000000000000000 T __Z10HCSayHellov
whereas C uses the non-mangled name:
% nm hello.o | grep HCSayHello
U _HCSayHello
The fix is an appropriate application of extern "C":
% cat hello-core.h
extern "C" {
extern void HCSayHello();
};
Select Your Tools Temporarily
Sometimes you want to temporarily run a command from a particular tools package. To continue my earlier example, I currently have Xcode 14.3 installed in the Applications folder and Xcode 15.0b5 in ~/XcodeZone. Xcode 14.3 is the default but I can override that with the DEVELOPER_DIR environment variable:
% clang -v
Apple clang version 14.0.3 (clang-1403.0.22.14.1)
…
% DEVELOPER_DIR=~/XcodeZone/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer clang -v
Apple clang version 15.0.0 (clang-1500.0.38.1)
…

Hello,
I'm building this mobile app using Quasar - Capacitor on iOS.
The app is working perfectly, but I'm encountering an issue whenever I push the rep I get this error: "Error
Unable to open base configuration reference file '/Volumes/workspace/repository/ios/App/Pods/Target Support Files/Pods-App/Pods-App.release.xcconfig'.
App.xcodeproj:1"
I've tried every possible solution and made sure that everything is set perfectly.
Can anyone please help me with that?
Thanks in advance, appreciate you 🫶🏻
Saw this info: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/contacts/cncontactstore
But have no idea what I'm doing. This is a pressing matter and I need to determine the date/time contacts were originally created on my icloud account. I have tried the shortcuts method and it merely shows the date they were loaded into whichever device i'm logged in on if they were created a while ago
i have been added to an apple membership organization, and given App manager's rights b ut my build keeps failing and asking me to get more access
