Hello, I have a question regarding payments for iOS apps in Russia. Currently, In-App Purchases are not available or do not work for many users in Russia, making it impossible for them to purchase digital subscriptions or digital content via Apple IAP. Is it allowed to: use an external payment provider available only in Russia, show this option only to users located in that region, and unlock access to digital content after payment is completed outside the app (for example, via a web page), in cases where Apple IAP is technically unavailable? Is there any official guidance or exception for regions where Apple IAP cannot be used? Thank you.

Hi, I enrolled and paid on February 4, and I also opened a support case (ID: 20000106619808), but I haven’t received any response yet. My account still shows as “pending,” and I’m not sure what to do next. Can someone from the Apple team please help or let me know how to get in touch with the right support channel?

After updating to macOS 26.3 Release Candidate, all interactions for borderless windows are no longer working. In macOS 26.3 Beta, borderless windows behaved correctly: • Mouse clicks were received normally • Window dragging worked as expected • Interaction logic was fully functional However, in macOS 26.3 RC, all of the above behaviors are broken: • Click events are not delivered • Windows cannot be moved or interacted with • The issue affects all borderless windows This is a regression from the Beta build and appears to be system-level, not app-specific. Environment: • macOS: 26.3 RC • Window type: borderless / frameless windows • Status in 26.3 Beta: working correctly • Status in 26.3 RC: completely broken Could Apple confirm whether this is a known issue or an intentional behavior change in 26.3 RC? If this is a , is there a recommended workaround before the final release? Thanks.

Hi all, I’m stuck on a WidgetKit/SwiftUI layout issue. I have a systemMedium widget that shows a block of text. What I want is simple: The text should be as large as possible But it must always fully fit inside the widget No ellipsis (“…”) Short text → big font Longer text → shrink only as much as needed The problem: when I try to make the font larger, the widget often shows only a couple of words and then “…” (or it looks like it’s truncating/clipping), even though I’m using multiline text (lineLimit(nil) etc.). If I keep a small fixed font size, the entire text shows fine — so the input string isn’t truncated. I tried a few approaches: ViewThatFits seeing which font size fits minimumScaleFactor Measuring with NSAttributedString.boundingRect + binary search to calculate the biggest font size that should fit But WidgetKit still behaves inconsistently and I can’t get a reliable “largest size that fits” result. Is there a recommended, production-safe way to do this in WidgetKit? Also: can a SwiftUI Text still end up showing “…” in a widget even with .lineLimit(nil) when it’s constrained vertically? Thanks in advance — any pointers or known patterns would really help.

I am using the Xcode 26.3 Claude Agent feature. Claude Agent can’t access on my Desktop folder when they are specified as chat attachments because I accidentally denied access to that folder when it was first requested. I had earlier read the Xcode 26.3 release notes, so I was somewhat aware of this known issue, but I didn't make the connection when the Desktop access prompt appeared. I wasn't expecting the permissions prompt, because the regular (non-agent) Xcode Claude is able to freely access Desktop files when they are specified as Xcode coding assistant chat session attachments. Claude Agent isn’t listed in macOS Settings > Privacy & Security > Files and Folders, so I can’t fix the permissions there. The TCC database contains these rows: % sqlite3 ~/Library/Application\ Support/com.apple.TCC/TCC.db \ "SELECT service, client, datetime(last_modified, 'unixepoch', 'localtime') as last_modified FROM access ORDER BY last_modified DESC" | head -2 kTCCServiceSystemPolicyDownloadsFolder|/Users/drew/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/Versions/26.3/claude|2026-02-07 15:19:25 kTCCServiceSystemPolicyDesktopFolder|/Users/drew/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/Versions/26.3/claude|2026-02-07 13:38:07 but I can’t seem to reset them using tccutil, apparently because /Users/drew/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/Versions/26.3/claude is not a valid bundle identifier: % tccutil reset all '/Users/drew/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/Versions/26.3/claude' tccutil: No such bundle identifier "/Users/drew/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/Versions/26.3/claude": The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -10814.) I would like for Claude Agent to be able to access my Desktop folder. What is an appropriate next step? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi! I'm building a Screen Time management app using FamilyControls and ManagedSettings. When a user taps the primary button on a ShieldActionExtension, I need to open my main app to guide them through an intervention exercise. Other approved App Store apps like Jomo - Screen Time Blocker do exactly this: tapping their shield's primary button opens the main Jomo app directly. Screen recording: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15yubtTdTkFskGCIaAw_HGB57-boHPl3a/view?usp=sharing I've tried: URL schemes (UIApplication.shared.open() unavailable in extensions) Universal links Local notifications (works, but adds an extra tap) NSUserActivity Is there a supported API I'm missing? Or another accepted solution? Any guidance is appreciated.

I'm trying to run my app on my iPhone and XCode is unable to detect it. Versions (as of time of writing, these are all the latest versions) XCode: 15.0.1 iOS: 17.1.2 macOS: Sonoma 14.1.2 What I've tried Updating all hardware to the latest versions. Restarting all hardware. Clearing cache/derived data. Using different USBC ports/cables. Using the XCode 15.1-Beta 3 (the latest beta) Clearing trusted computers and re-trusting Disabling Multipath Networking (solution for someone else on the dev forums) Creating a brand new xcode project. Disabling all wifi/bluetooth and reconnecting Using different wifi networks Calling mac support (they directed me back here) Scouring forums What happens I start by disconnecting my phone from my computer, clear trusted computers, restart xcode, and start (basically) from a completely blank slate. First I open XCode to my project. Then I connect my iPhone via USBC. I see that XCode says "iPhone not eligible while pairing in progress" (or something like that). I see on my phone that I must trust this computer, I hit trust, I enter my phone's passcode, then that disappears on my phone, and in XCode the message about eligibility disappears. I then click on the device selector to choose between either a simulator or a hardware device and under hardware I only see a message that says "No eligible devices connected to my mac". If I open the "Manage Run Destinations" organizer I see all the simulators there in the simulators tab, but when I go to the Devices tab, I see nothing. Sometimes when I go through this process, I can get a banner to appear up top, but still no device shows up on the left. The banner will show me that it is indeed my iPhone, but it will be missing information like "Serial Number" or "Capacity". Here's a screenshot of what I see. Keep in mind, this banner up top does not always show up when I go through this process. iPhone CAN be detected on my other laptop When I do this exact same thing on my other laptop, everything works just fine. Here are the specs I'm running on that laptop. (using the same cable/wifi network/etc) XCode 15.0.1 macOS: Ventura 13.6.1 iPhone 17.1.2 (I'm using the same iPhone) The only difference here being the macOS version. However, the problem started on my "broken" computer while I was running a previous major macOS version. This problem is actually what prompted my to do a system update to Sonoma. Please for the love of god, halp!!!

I have been trying to package a FileMaker 18 runtime app* for Mac distribution for - oh - a year and a half on and off (the Windows version was packaged in an afternoon). I succeeded - or thought I had - until I updated to Tahoe. Now my packaging process does everything it did formerly (creates the DMG, etc.), but when opened, fails to see/load a third-party plugin (BaseElements.fmplugin). Does anyone know why this should be? I have attached 4 of my build files in the hope that someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance for any advice you may provide. Regards, L *Claris deprecated the runtime feature years ago, but it still runs and is useful for proof of concept. P.S. A contributor to an earlier query kindly suggested I go down the zip file or pkg installer route, rather than the DMG route. I tried doing as much but found both as susceptible to Mac spaghetti signage. build_all.txt repair_and_sign.txt build_dmg.txt notarize_dmg.txt

I am building an app for iOS and MacCatalyst that indexes files by storing their local paths. Because the app relies on the file remaining at its original location, I only want to accept items that can be opened in place. I am struggling to determine if an item is "Open In Place" compatible early in the drag-and-drop lifecycle. Specifically: In dropInteraction(_:canHandle:) and dropInteraction(_:sessionDidUpdate:), calling itemProvider.registeredTypeIdentifiers(fileOptions: [.openInPlace]) returns an empty array. Only once the drop is actually committed in dropInteraction(_:performDrop:) does that same call return the expected type identifiers. This creates a poor user experience. I want to validate the "In Place" capability at the very start of the session so the drop target only activates for valid files. If an item is ephemeral (like a dragged photo from the Photos app or a temporary export), the drop zone should not react at all. How can I reliably detect if an NSItemProvider supports .openInPlace before the performDrop delegate method is called?

Attempting to bring up the access point yields the following error log: [GameCenterOverlayService] Failed to create GameOverlayUI Dashboard Remote Proxy [GameCenterOverlayService] Could not create endpoint for service name: com.apple.GameOverlayUI.dashboard-service [GameCenterOverlayService] Failed to create GameOverlayUI Dashboard Remote Proxy [GameCenterOverlayService] Could not create endpoint for service name: com.apple.GameOverlayUI.dashboard-service [GameCenterOverlayService] Failed to create GameOverlayUI Dashboard Remote Proxy [GameCenterOverlayService] Failed to create GameOverlayUI Dashboard Remote Proxy The same code (which is a single line setting 'active' to true) works on physical devices and on the simulator in iOS 18.6 I haven't been able to find any mention of this issue online. Any suggestions or help greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to create a grocery list in swift programmatically? With color and icon? I mean the new Reminders.app v7.0 features. I don't find code or guide in the dev documentation.

Hello everyone, this is the situation with the iPhone 15 pro, forgot the password code needs to be reset to factory settings, tell me if it is possible to get the media content later that was on the device and there was no backup

Is there any way to prevent the keyboard from bouncing when changing the focus state in onSubmit? Or is it not recommended to change focus in onSubmit? The following view is setup so that pressing return on the keyboard should cause focus to move between the TextFields. struct TextFieldFocusState: View { enum Field { case field1 case field2 } @FocusState var focusedField: Field? var body: some View { Form { TextField("Field 1", text: .constant("")) .focused($focusedField, equals: .field1) .onSubmit { focusedField = .field2 } TextField("Field 2", text: .constant("")) .focused($focusedField, equals: .field2) .onSubmit { focusedField = .field1 } } } } I would expect that when pressing return, the keyboard would say on screen. What actually happens is the keyboard appears to bounce when the return key is pressed (first half of gif). I assume this is because onSubmit starts dismissing the keyboard then setting the focus state causes the keyboard to be presented again. The issue doesn't occur when tapping directly on the text fields to change focus (second half of gif).

I need to create a Mac application using Objective-C. The application has to use PHPickerViewController to provide user a familiar interface to pick photos. Here is the Objective-C code that used to present the photo picker. //ViewController.h #import <Cocoa/Cocoa.h> #import <PhotosUI/PhotosUI.h> @interface ViewController : NSViewController<PHPickerViewControllerDelegate> @property (nonatomic, weak) IBOutlet NSImageView *myImageView; @end // ViewController.m @implementation ViewController PHPickerViewController* pickerViewController = nil; - (void)pickPhotos { PHPickerConfiguration *config = [[PHPickerConfiguration alloc] init]; config.selectionLimit = 0; // Allow multiple selections config.filter = [PHPickerFilter imagesFilter]; // Filter for images pickerViewController = [[PHPickerViewController alloc] initWithConfiguration:config]; pickerViewController.preferredContentSize = NSMakeSize(800, 600); pickerViewController.delegate = self; // Set the delegate to handle selection [self presentViewControllerAsModalWindow:pickerViewController]; - (IBAction)clicked:(id)sender { NSLog(@"Button Clicked"); [self pickPhotos]; } - (void)picker:(PHPickerViewController *)picker didFinishPicking:(NSArray<PHPickerResult *> *)results { if (pickerViewController) { [picker dismissViewController:pickerViewController]; } } @end Can you please guide me to show the photo picker to a bigger size?

currently i'm in xcode 26.2 which want's me to use ios 26.2 but i only have ios 18.2 and i can't figure out how to make xcode use that simulator

Hello, I am experiencing an issue where lighting is disabled within a Portal Component specifically when using Progressive or Full Immersion styles in visionOS 26.2. [Steps to Reproduce] Create a scene in Reality Composer Pro with custom lighting (Directional Light, IBL, etc.) and load it as an Entity. Add a PortalComponent to this Entity. Observe the Entity in an ImmersiveSpace under different Immersion Styles. [Observed Behavior] Mixed Immersion: Lighting works as expected.Progressive / Full Immersion: Lighting is disabled, causing the content to render incorrectly. [Additional Context] Without PortalComponent: The same Reality Composer Pro scene renders lighting correctly across all Immersion Styles (Mixed, Progressive, and Full).Regression: In applications built with Xcode 16.4 / visionOS 2.5, lighting inside the Portal functioned correctly. This issue appears to have emerged with Xcode 26.2 and visionOS 26.2. [Questions] Is the disabling of lighting inside Portals during Full/Progressive Immersion an intended architectural change or optimization in visionOS 26.2? Are there any workarounds, such as specific PortalComponent configurations or new API flags, to re-enable lighting in these immersion modes? Thank you.
