On a 16" M5 MBP running 26.7.2 I have the display set to "1496 x 967" in the display section of Settings.app; the native resolution of the LCD panel is 3456 wide per the "System Information" report. When I inspect DOM nodes in a full screen width browser window, nodes which span the width of the screen show the expected 1496 CSS pixel width. However, when I run a Mac Catalyst app in Xcode, with its window at full screen width, and I inspect the bounds property of a UIView with the full width of the window, it reports its width as 1943 points wide, which doesn't match the value I expect (1496, ...

Hello, I'm trying to understand the exact meaning of the APNs delivery status Discarded - Disabled shown in Apple's Push Notification Console. According to the status tooltip: Push notifications which were discarded by APNs, because the push feature was disabled for the application on the target device. None of these were saved to APNs storage. However, I'm unable to reproduce this behavior by disabling notifications through iOS Settings. My test scenario I performed the following test on a physical iOS device: Installed our application. Enabled notifications for the application in iOS Setti...

Issue: Screen rotation becomes locked when updating the status bar on an iPhone Duo. This does not appear to be a device-specific hardware issue; however, it occurs specifically on the iPhone Duo. In my app, if I change the status bar visibility (using prefersStatusBarHidden) while on the iPhone Duo’s external screen, and then immediately unfold the device to reveal the internal screen, the app’s rotation state becomes locked. Although I use prefersInterfaceOrientationLocked to manage rotation, the app remains locked even when this property returns false. The issue persists even when prefersIn...

Hello, I am currently working on an iOS app and studying the feasibility of a custom voice detection feature. The user might set up a secret voice keyword (a custom word or phrase). When this keyword is spoken, even when the iPhone is locked and stored in a pocket, the application would automatically trigger an action. My questions are: Can an iOS app continuously detect a custom voice keyword when running in the background and iPhone is locked? Is there an officially supported and App Store compatible method to perform this detection locally, without recording or transmitting audio? Can an ...

When using AlarmKit (AlarmPresentation.Alert), the native system buttons (Stop / Open) successfully trigger the assigned AppIntent (e.g., implementing AppIntent with perform()) when running on the iOS Simulator. However, on physical devices (Real iOS Devices), these native buttons are completely dead. Even with a paid Apple Developer Program account, Production/Release-level code signing, and a clean build, tapping the native buttons on the Lock Screen / Full Screen alert results in zero calls to perform() (no logs, intent handler is never invoked).

We're building an app for colleges and employers in India. On a person's own iPhone, with their explicit consent, it would use Family Controls and ManagedSettings during class or work hours to block apps except those on an organisation's approved list. The person approves it on their device and can withdraw at any time. The organisation sees only whether the block is active, not which apps are used. Section 3.3.3 of the licence says the framework may not be used in organizational settings or to manage another adult's device. Is our use permitted? If not, is there an approved way to do this wit...

Our macOS NEFilterDataProvider sets shouldReport = true on flow verdicts and receives NEFilterReport.Event.flowClosed in handle(_:). In testing, we have observed close reports after the owning process exits or crashes, sometimes with a short delay. Is a flowClosed report guaranteed for every TCP and UDP flow in these cases? Does the behavior differ by protocol, and is there a documented upper bound on delivery time? We also set statisticsReportFrequency = .low. Does that setting affect only periodic .statistics reports, with no effect on flowClosed delivery?

Hello, Some context: DropBet is an app that helps people with gambling addiction stay off gambling sites and apps, using NEURLFilterManager/PIR to block a large list of known gambling domains system-wide. For a lot of our users this filter is a core part of their recovery > reliability really matters here. Since fixing an unrelated HPKE encryption bug (separate thread, now closed), the filter works end-to-end for the first time, but blocking is inconsistent per domain in a way I can't explain from my side: winamax.fr and the Winamax app: blocked reliably, every single time > clean "conne...

On macOS 27 the File Provider extension of our app (Secure ShellFish, an SSH client) can't connect to any host on the local network, while the containing app connects to the same host on the same Mac without problems. Local Network is enabled for the app in System Settings, but every connection from the extension fails with "Local network prohibited". It did not happen on macOS 26 and still happens on macOS 27.2 (26B123). This is hitting end users of Secure ShellFish, not just my test setup, and it has been my number one support issue since macOS 27 was released. I filed this as FB24999927 wit...

Perhaps I am just stupid, but I can't quite grok that. What object is the predicate evaluated over, how, and at what moment? Originally I've thought when some event causes the trigger to fire, the predicate would just be evaluated over that event; but that can't be that simple, see please details below. I've set (in a 3rd party application; Home, far as I can say, does not allow that) a predicate “only when both of a pair of lights are off”. The predicate works perfectly, and the event really performs its action set only when both of the lights are off, so far so good. Nevertheless, I've dumpe...

On macOS 27.x (Apple silicon) I've been measuring how launchd stops a job, and two behaviors don't match the documentation. Method: a throwaway job whose script traps SIGTERM and logs it, bootstrapped with different ExitTimeOut values, then stopped with launchctl bootout while timing when the process dies. Observed (LaunchAgent in the gui domain; the same results in the system domain with a LaunchDaemon): ExitTimeOut 45 -> `launchctl print` reports 45; SIGTERM, then SIGKILL at 45 s ExitTimeOut 61 -> reports 60; SIGTERM, then SIGKILL at 60 s ExitTimeOut 90 -> reports 60; SI...

I can't find a way to create an event trigger with a presence-based predicate ideally for a particular user at home; or at least, for all users at home. Just for the record, the rationale: I need to keep the heating on in the user's private room when he is at home, off when he is not. The idea is to have a trigger based on a low temperature event (I can do that and works all right), which would then check whether the user is at home through the predicate; if so, it would open the radiator valve (the action also tested and also working all right); if not, it would do nothing. How to? Since I ...

Hello, We develop a sandboxed Mac App Store app that runs virtual machines with Virtualization.framework on Apple silicon (macOS 27). Users want to install a macOS guest onto an external USB disk and start the VM from it, so they can keep a VM on portable storage or on a disk larger than the Mac's internal drive. What we tried USB passthrough: we attach the disk before the VM starts, with VZUSBPassthroughDeviceConfiguration (from an AAUSBAccessory) on a VZXHCIControllerConfiguration. Linux guests install onto the disk and boot from it without problems. For a macOS guest, VZMacOSInstaller fail...

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.

On macOS I am creating a public/private key pair (ECDSA 256), will be secure enclave in the long run, just trying to baseline some functionality right now using file store (currently running in a system daemon). I can sign data using the private key with no problem, and export the public key. However, after generating a cert chain via CSR externally, I’m trying to figure out the proper incantation to import that cert/chain and have it recognized as matching the existing private key, but so far I can’t figure out the correct attributes to get it to pair up. Do you have any sample code that m...
