Ever since the last update i have issues with my camera app. Sometimes when I open the app the forward facing cameras don’t work and it’s just a Black screen. I also get a warning that I may not have genuine iPhone parts installed. I have to reboot the phone every time just to have it app function again. It’s annoying. Please fix this. I never had any issues with the camera or its app up until after the update.

I dont know if this is the appropriate forum for this.
Answers I've found on the web points me towards intentions, but somehow I couldnt make it work.
Im trying to activate siri on carplay to ask user for voice input then make a search.
Is this a custom intent capability or is there any other way.
According to my experiments SwiftData does not work with model attributes of primitive type UInt64. More precisely, it crashes in the getter of a UInt64 attribute invoked on an object fetched from the data store.
With Core Data persistent UInt64 attributes are not a problem. Does anyone know whether SwiftData will ever support UInt64?
Hello Apple Devs,
We’re currently trying to integrate Apple Pay on the web using Apple Pay JS. We've followed the official documentation closely, but we're running into a blocker during the merchantSession validation phase.
We successfully retrieved a merchantSession, which looks like this:
json
{
"displayName": "Our Name",
"domainName": "https://pay.ourdomain.co",
"epochTimestamp": ,
"expiresAt": ****************,
"merchantIdentifier": "",
"merchantSessionIdentifier": ",
"nonce": "",
"operationalAnalyticsIdentifier": our name "t:",
"pspId": "",
"retries": 0,
"signature": "*****************..."
}
Issue:
Shortly after initiating the session, we receive a cancel event with the following info:
ApplePayCancelEvent {
type: "cancel",
sessionError: {
code: "unknown",
info: {}
}
}
We're unsure what causes the cancellation. There are no clear error messages or hints in the logs to identify what went wrong.
What We’ve Checked:
The merchantSession is returned successfully from our backend.
The domainName matches our frontend domain (https://pay.durdomain.co).
The session hasn’t expired when tested.
We're using Apple Pay JS APIs as described in the documentation.
Help Needed:
What can trigger an ApplePayCancelEvent with an "unknown" error code?
Any insight or guidance would be deeply appreciated. Thanks in advance!
I have followed these steps as mentioned in this link :(https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/721737)
My projects app bundle structure is like this :

TWGUI is my main GUI App , i which i want to embed TWAgent (a command line tool target) and register it using SMAppServices so that launchd can launch it.
In TWGUI, code for registering to launchd using SMAppServices is structure as follow :
import SwiftUI
import ServiceManagement
struct ContentView: View {
let agent = SMAppService.agent(plistName: "com.example.TWGUI.agent.plist")
var body: some View {
VStack {
Button("Register Agent") {
RegisterAgent ()
}
.padding()
Button("Unregister Agent") {
UnregisterAgent ()
}
.padding()
}
}
func RegisterAgent() {
DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {
do {
print("Registering Agent. Status: \(agent.status.rawValue)")
try agent.register()
print("Agent registered")
} catch {
print("Failed to register agent: \(error)")
}
}
}
func UnregisterAgent() {
DispatchQueue.global(qos: .background).async {
do {
print("Unregistering Agent. Status: \(agent.status.rawValue)")
try agent.unregister()
print("Agent unregistered")
} catch {
print("Failed to unregister agent: \(error)")
}
}
}
}
com.example.TWGUI.agent.plist :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs$

I have used ProgramArguements instead of using Program in above plist because i was getting this error when i was using Program earlier :

TWAgent target has main.swift file which does this :
import Foundation
let startTime = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent()
func logTimeSinceStart() {
let elapsedTime = CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent() - startTime
NSLog("Time since program started: \(elapsedTime) seconds")
}
func startLoggingTime() {
Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 1.0, repeats: true) { _ in
logTimeSinceStart()
}
}
// Start logging time
startLoggingTime()
// Keep the run loop running
CFRunLoopRun()
I followed these exact same steps in another project earlier and my agent was getting registered, although i lost that project due to some reasons.
But now i am getting this error when i am registering or unregistering agent using SMAppServices from the code above :
Registering Agent. Status: 3
Failed to register agent: Error Domain=SMAppServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "Operation not permitted" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Operation not permitted}
I tried diffrent fixes for like this :
Moved app bundle to /applications folder
Gave permission for full disc access to this app .
Code sign again (both agent and TWGUI
...
But nothing seems to work , getting same error.
I tried to launch agent using :
Launchctl load com.example.TWGUI.agent.plist
and it worked , so there is no issue with my plist implementation.
Can someone help me understand how can i solve this issue ? or if i am following right steps ? Can give steps need to follow to implement this and steps so that i can register and start my agent using SMAppServices?
And i also tried the project give in apples official documentation : [https://developer.apple.com/documentation/servicemanagement/updating-your-app-package-installer-to-use-the-new-service-management-api)
but got same error in this project as well .
I have a question about the default calling function that is supported by third-party apps on iOS from 18.2.
In most cases, it works normally with the default calling app setting, but the problem occurs when connected to the vehicle via Bluetooth.
Install the app that sets the default calling app on the device.
Keep the phone locked.
Connect the Bluetooth to the vehicle.
Try to make a call using the phone button on the vehicle's steering wheel.
When trying to make a call from the vehicle, the call fails (It seems that the app cannot be opened when the phone is locked even if the default calling app setting is on.)
When you unlock the phone and turn on the app, the call is made.
As far as I understand, if the app scheme is called with tel:// when set as the default calling app, it only proceeds with the intent connection to the app set as the default calling app, and the permissions that Apple's default call app has cannot be used.
Accordingly, my questions are as follows:
Is there a way to make a call with an external phone call input when locked on device?
If 1 is not possible, can you provide a branch to Apple's default call app (telephony://) in the above situation?
I am facing an issue with Apple Pay js while doing the integration
we are using reference
https://applepaydemo.apple.com/apple-pay-js-api
In this I can generate the merchantSession correctly
But when I pass that merchantSession in
session.completeMerchantValidation(merchantValidation) as per documentation
It is getting failed and also no appropriate error is being shown in the console
Live Activity Start Token not generating after certain days of usage. We have implemented Live Activity feature where the initial activity is launched by our backend. But to start that first live activity I need push to start token which is generating for few days but all of sudden after certain days it stops generating. Currently we are in development phase so we test it on multiple devices and multiple time we are doing install and uninstall.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Install the app
Start token gets generated which is sent to our server
After certain duration server sends the first live activity using that token
user opens the app then we receive the updated token and send that token to server
server uses that updated token to further update the live activity.
All this works fine. But after a week of usage we are observing that we stop getting start token from APNS. Not sure where exactly the thing is breaking. We have tried with different devices and different bundle identifiers but behaviour is same for all.
func generateStartToken() {
Task.detached { [weak self] in
guard let self else { return }
await self.observeActivityPushTokenAndState()
for await data in ActivityKit.Activity<LiveActivityAttribute>.pushToStartTokenUpdates {
let token = data.map { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined()
print("Activity Start token: ", token)
}
}
}
func observeActivityPushTokenAndState() {
Task.detached {
for await activity in ActivityKit.Activity<LiveActivityAttribute>.activityUpdates {
Task {
for await tokenData in activity.pushTokenUpdates {
let updatedToken = tokenData.map { String(format: "%02x", $0) }.joined()
print("Activity Update token: ", updatedToken)
}
}
Task {
for await content in activity.contentUpdates {
let updatedContent = content.state
print("Activity Updated: ", updatedContent)
}
}
}
}
}
Hi all,
I have a simple prototype subscription for a recurring monthly for $0.29 cheap!
And it works great!
But it only works great at sub time. It's stuck in the sandbox, constantly giving me "currently subscribed" status even though I’ve done a bunch of things:
Force-quit the app.
Deleted and re-installed it.
Rebooted my phone.
Signed out of media purchases.
Looked on AppStore connect to try to find anything that seems like it’d let me fix this
All efforts in vain.
I'm trying to avoid fully logging out of my iCloud account on my phone. Any other thoughts?

I have an app which is already on App Store with In-app purchase. Now I want to integrate In-app purchase in my another app for the same products as in the existing app. Both the apps are using same Apple Account. Can I reuse those Product Ids from the first app in the second one. If yes, what is the ways to use them.
Thank you in advance.
I confirm that the configured callback address is accurate and can be called using Postman.
The server receives notification messages from IAP

What am I missing in my checking for whether or not to offer Apple Pay on my website?
<script async crossorigin
src="https://applepay.cdn-apple.com/jsapi/v1.1.0/apple-pay-sdk.js"
></script>
...
<style>
apple-pay-button {
display: none;
}
</style>
...
<apple-pay-button buttonstyle="black" type="plain" locale="en-US" onclick="startApplePay('${APPLE_PAY_MERCHANT_ID}','${paymentForm.amount}');"></apple-pay-button>
So, the button is not displayed by default. I only change the style to displayed if:
window.onload = function() {
if (isApplePaySupported()) {
document.querySelector("apple-pay-button").style.display = "inline-block";
};
}
function isApplePaySupported() {
return (window.PaymentRequest &&
window.ApplePaySession &&
ApplePaySession.canMakePayments() &&
ApplePaySession.supportsVersion(applePayVersion));
}
Yet, once in a while a click comes through that tries to create a PaymentRequest with
const applePayMethod = {
"supportedMethods": "https://apple.com/apple-pay",
"data": {
"version": applePayVersion,
"merchantIdentifier": merchantIdentifier,
"merchantCapabilities": [
"supports3DS"
],
"supportedNetworks": [
"amex",
"discover",
"masterCard",
"visa"
],
"countryCode": "US"
}
};
and results in:
NotSupportedError, The payment method is not supported
What else might be "not supported" in the request for this particular user/device/wallet? In particular, that could be known immediately when the PaymentRequest is created, but before any payment instrument from the wallet is selected?
And, is there anything I could detect before showing the button?
Or, is it even possible for the button to be clicked by some kind of automation, even if it's not displayed?
My ASA file is located here https://staging.docyt.com/apple-appsite-association It downloads fine. It does not have .json extension and neither does it reside inside the ./well-known folder.

Hi,
I’m using a Local Push Connectivity Extension and encountering an issue with DispatchSourceTimer.
In my extension, I create a DispatchSourceTimer that is supposed to fire every 1 second. It works as expected at first. However, when the app is in the foreground and the device is locked, the timer eventually stops firing after 1–3 hours.
The extension process is still alive, and no errors are thrown
Has anyone experienced this behavior?
Is this a known limitation for timers inside NEAppPushProvider, or is the extension being deprioritized silently by the system?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Some of my users reported they can not completed the purchase .
According to the logs and screen captures . Their purchase progress's last status are "purchasing"
func paymentQueue(_ queue: SKPaymentQueue, updatedTransactions transactions: [SKPaymentTransaction]) {
....
....
case .purchasing:
// 处理正在购买的情况
//print("购买中");
AppDelegate.log.debug("paymentQueue purchasing");
LoadingAlert.shared.setText(text: "购买中".localized())
....
After this ,It neither entered any error branch nor prompted the user to confirm the purchase or enter a password, but simply stopped here. There are no other purchase-related logs, and the program is still running normally.
At the same time, other users are able to complete their purchases without any issues. However, there have been 4-5 users recently who reported problems with purchasing. What could be the possible reasons?
In my local environment, I repeated the test many times, including using sandbox users from different regions and real Apple IDs, and everything worked fine.

I was able to add new domain with 'NSFileProviderManager.add' function in Xcode past 2 months. Yesterday I created .pkg file (installer file) for distribution with 'pkgbuild' and 'productbuild' commands in terminal.
I successfully install application and test it then uninstall it. However after this, In Xcode I cannot add new domain anymore. I keep getting "Error Domain=NSFileProviderErrorDomain Code=-2001 "No valid file provider found with identifier ‘’."
Command that used to create .pkg file
pkgbuild --root "path" --scripts "path" --identifier "same bundle identifier with app" --version 1.0 --install-location /Applications "newpkg.pkg"
productbuild --synthesize --package "newpkg.pkg" Distribution.xml
productbuild --distribution Distribution.xml --package-path "newpath.pkg" "newpathrelease.pkg"
NOTE: When app is installed (But not running). I am able to add new domain in Xcode. After I uninstall app, I start to get same error again
NOTE: I uninstall app by move it to Trash from Applications directory in finder
Any suggestion about add new domain in Xcode during development? Or How to fix 'No valid file provider found with identifier' error
We have a watchOS app that provides many configurable widgets. Those widgets are configured and installed with help of AppIntent:
public struct RectComplAppIntent: AppIntent, WidgetConfigurationIntent, CustomIntentMigratedAppIntent {
@Parameter(title: "Style")
var style: String?
....
}
However when I print WidgetInfos with getCurrentConfigurations(), I sometimes got nil for configuration. At the same time widgets are not loaded. Exact steps:
User installs the pre-cofnigured .watchface.
Complications are not loaded since configuration is missing. I print getCurrentConfigurations() and get entries like this:
WidgetInfo:
- configuration: nil
- widgetConfigurationIntent: nil
- family: accessoryRectangular
- kind: Rectangle
Then user force-touches a face and opens editing mode. Returns to watch app, prints infos:
WidgetInfo:
- configuration: <INIntent: 0x780d290> {
style = vol1Logo;
}
- widgetConfigurationIntent: nil
- family: accessoryRectangular
- kind: Rectangle
– Suddenly intent appears with the correct style and complications start to show up.
How do you think, why it happens? Why after .watchface install all the WidgetInfo has nil intent (configuration)? What helps them to load later?

Dear Apple team and developers,
We integrated Apple Pay E-Commerce on our system and made successful transaction at January using following certificates.
Merchant Identity Certificate (generated from our Apple developer account)
Payment Processing Certificate (generated from our Apple developer account)
Payment Session Server Certificate (used following command and generated from apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com:443 test URL)
Command: openssl s_client -connect apple-pay-gateway-cert.apple.com:443 -key MIC_priv.key -cert MIC_merchant_id.pem -showcerts | openssl x509 -outform DER > apay_ident_trusted_cert_test.der
Root CA G3 (Downloaded “Apple Root CA – G3 Root” from https://www.apple.com/certificateauthority/ )
But at this month, we got new certificate problem (please check following) when we try to execute Apple Pay E-Commerce transaction.
Certificate 'C=US,O=Apple Inc.,OU=Apple Certification Authority,CN=Apple Application Integration CA - G3' is not valid Certificate.
What is this certificate? And Where can I download or generate this certificate from? Could you please advise/give us good information for this certificate problem?
Best Regards,
Bilguun Enkhbaatar
