Hello, I am testing Configuration Profiles' Passcode policy in an MDM environment. After setting the 'maxFailedAttempts' property to 5 and deploying the Passcode payload via MDM to iPhones, some iPhones are not wiped after exceeding 5 failed passcode attempts. Could you please advise on the possible reasons for this issue? Devices affected: iPhone 11 (iOS 16.4.1), iPhone 12 mini (iOS 16.5).

Hi guys. I am currently working on an App where one of the functionalities is a screen recording function. The function should record the ENTIRE phone screen and be able to upload it to a Firestore database. I am currently having issues with the screen recording. I used the ReplayKit package and I am able to screen record just the screen of the App and not the entire phone screen. Essentially, the screen recording function should allow a user to record other apps screens that the user goes to for about 30 seconds. I am unable to figure out how to record the entire screen. Does anybody know way (package, API, or process) for me to achieve such functionality. Thank you in advance, Hanav Modasiya

Hi, I am a newbie to Apple development. I do have good experience in PC development. What resources would I use to begin learning? I am planning to develop an app for personal interests. I know there are online courses on Coursera and such. But am hoping to do it at low cost and am not interested in certification for job search, etc. Thanks much.

Why is the testFieldDidChangeSelection function called three times when the return key is pressed? Here is what I did enter text in TextField press the Return key The result is that the textFieldDidChangeSelection function is called three times. I would like to know why. As a supplement, I asked ChatGPT and the results are below. At the moment the Return key is pressed: The cursor is updated at the position of the last character entered in the text field. Insertion of a newline: When the Return key is pressed, a new line is added, and the cursor moves to the beginning of the new line. Finalization of the edit: Finally, the content of the text field is confirmed, and the position of the cursor is finalized. Also, is the above answer true?

With iOS 18 there are now five ways for a caller to be blocked/silenced: the caller can be blocked via the Live Caller ID extension the caller can be blocked via the Call Kit extension the caller can be blocked via Block Caller via the call history recents the call could be silenced via Silence Junk Callers the call could be silenced via Silence Unknown Callers These are all totally separate and there's no way of reconciling all of them and presenting a holistic overview and management system to the user. Call blocking applications have no way of knowing which numbers will be blocked by 3) or silenced by 4) or 5), or even of determining 4) and 5) are enabled. And iOS doesn't indicate to users what will be blocked by 1) or 2). Currently users have no way of knowing what's been blocked/silenced where. Neither via call blocking apps nor via the OS. From users' perspectives its a confusing and frustrating mess. If the OS exposed which numbers have been blocked via 3) to applications and exposed if Silence Unknown Callers and Silence Junk Callers are enabled then call blocking applications could present a unified way for users to see and manage what's going on with their device holistically.

In iOS18, Not able to use the UITabBarControllerDelegate.tabBarController(:didSelectTab:previousTab:) function. Since it have duplicate parameter name for didselectTab and previousTab , we're getting Invalid redeclaration of 'tab' error.

Hi, I'm writing because I've been trying to set the .standard map style to render as a globe on an iPhone 15 running iOS 17 when zoomed out similar to how it works in Apple Maps but can't find any resources on how to make that happen as every time it appears as a flat 2D map, much unlike the .hybrid and .satellite types. I found another thread on this forum a year ago where someone said .standard was bugged and couldn't become a globe, but I'm honestly quite surprised this issue hasn't been brought up more often.

There is definitely a glitch with the latest update of iOS 18 Beta4 with Google Maps in carplay mode. Google Maps on the car screen is almost responsive. It does not recognize your home or work address. While there might be a workaround to get to your destination. Use Siri to get directions, but speak the full address and tell it to give directions using Google Maps. For e.g. "Hey Siri, get me directions to "XX LOCATION" using Google Maps" You can use Apple Maps and Waze. But its hard for people to use another navigation app rather than using what they are used to. I find Google Maps really easy to use and handy, and now, with the latest update of Google Maps you can update live incidents, accidents, slowdowns and traffic reports from your dashboard

I have two feedback issues under Sequoia that are fairly major features. FB14105190: iPhone Mirroring shows only a white rectangle. FB13888947: VisionOS Mirroring drops connections after seconds. Both these issues are features I use (VisionOS Mirroring) or would use (the other) if I could. On a suggestion from a colleague I booted in Safe Mode and the issues went away and everything worked as it should. I've sent this upline to Feedback. But am curious what I can do to diagnose this further. Maybe locate a culprit. In the olden days, the extension parade let you know what was loaded. My kextstatus shows nothing different. Is there anything else I can explore to find this? Thanks.

ViewControllers for the 8th and higher tabs are not displayed in the elevated Tab Bar. However, I am able to select these tabs both in the Tab Bar and the side bar. func setTabs(){ let colors = [UIColor.red,.systemGray6,.green,.systemMint,.cyan,.yellow,.blue,.magenta] var tabs = [UITab]() let range = 0...10 for index in range { if #available(iOS 18.0, *) { let tab = UITab(title: "Tab_\(index)", image: UIImage(systemName: "globe"), identifier: "tab__\(index)", viewControllerProvider: {tab in let vc = UIViewController() vc.view.backgroundColor = colors[index%colors.count] return vc }) tabs.append(tab) } } tabbarController.setTabs(tabs, animated: true) }

In our application, we have a button on click of which we are creating a new WKWebView instance and before loading the url clearing website data using WKWebsiteDataStore removeDataOfTypes method to remove allWebsiteDataTypes. The problem is when app is relaunched, the login session remains active whereas the same code ends session and we get login page when the same button is clicked when app is in running mode and not killed. Any suggestion on how to debug or what's going incorrect is really appreciated. Let me know incase of query. Thanks!

Which framework or low level module can be used to allow a swift app to take a screenshot of the homes creen of an iOS device connected to the USB port? I have seen several commercial apps that can to it, so there must be a module or framework they are using (and is not libimobile3, it must be apple native code)

The new Home Screen customization forces automatically darkened app icons when dark mode is selected. It’s not possible to have the previous behavior where UI elements (like menus, pop-ups, and widgets) are dark and app icons retain their original appearance. While widgets can individually be set back to dark mode, that’s tedious, and it doesn’t cover other elements. There should be an option to toggle dark icons separately from the other elements (because, to be blunt, quite a few dark mode icons look really bad). FB14476705

When to expect beta 5. Not to many changes between beta 3 and 4. Hoping that beta 5 will deliver more updates

I've followed the instructions to configure and launch a live caller id test service (https://swiftpackageindex.com/apple/live-caller-id-lookup-example/main/documentation/pirservice/testinginstructions) i.e. I've constructed a database, built and installed the PIRService etc. Additionally I have created a test app with a Live Caller ID Extension. The problem I'm facing is when turning on the Live Caller ID feature on an iPhone (the Settings|Apps|Phone|Call Blocking & Identification|Live CallerID Lookup switch) with iOS 18 Beta 4 is the phone logs: "The request timed out." UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=The request timed out., NSErrorFailingURLKey=http://MacBook-Pro.local:8080/.well-known/private-token-issuer-directory The configuration notes say: "When running things locally on your Mac, and your testing device is on the same network, then you can use mDNS to let the device find your Mac. Let’s assume that your Mac’s hostname is Tims-MacBook-Pro.local. Then we should use the following value for the URLs: http://Tims-Macbook-Pro.local:8080. Thanks to the mDNS protocol your device should be able to resolve your hostname to the actual IP address of your Mac and make the connection." My Mac hostname is "MacBook-Pro" therefore the Live Caller ID Extension is configured as: LiveCallerIDLookupExtensionContext( serviceURL: URL(string: "http://MacBook-Pro.local:8080")!, tokenIssuerURL: URL(string: "http://MacBook-Pro.local:8080")!, userTierToken: Data(base64Encoded: "BBBB")! ) And the service-config.json is configured as: { "issuerRequestUri": "http://MacBook-Pro.local:8080", "users": [ <snip> (I've also tried excluding the issuerRequestUri as the instructions say "This value can be omitted from the configuration. Setting this explicitly will not be required for devices using iOS 18.0 beta 4 or later.") And the PIR Service is started on the Mac as: PIRService --hostname 0.0.0.0 service-config.json And it starts and runs. The iPhone and Mac are on the same Wifi network and connected by usb cable. As far as I can tell, everything has been set up in accordance with the Testing Live Caller ID instructions, yet I get the error when attempting to enable the extension on the iPhone. Is there something missing/incorrectly configured?

I want to achieve Fold animation when the user scrolls UICollectionView. I have UICollectionView with full-screen size cell and vertically scrolling with paging enabled. For that I've created sub-class of UICollectionViewFlowLayout which is as described below. class FoldingFlowLayout: UICollectionViewFlowLayout { private let logger = Logger(subsystem: bundleIdentifier, category: "FlowLayout") override func prepare() { super.prepare() scrollDirection = .vertical minimumLineSpacing = 0 minimumInteritemSpacing = 0 } override func layoutAttributesForElements(in rect: CGRect) -> [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes]? { let attributes = super.layoutAttributesForElements(in: rect) attributes?.forEach { attribute in transformLayoutAttributes(attribute) } return attributes } override func shouldInvalidateLayout(forBoundsChange newBounds: CGRect) -> Bool { return true } private func transformLayoutAttributes(_ attributes: UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes) { guard let collectionView = collectionView else { return } let contentOffsetY = collectionView.contentOffset.y let cellOffsetY = attributes.frame.origin.y - contentOffsetY let cellHeight = attributes.frame.height var transform = CATransform3DIdentity transform.m34 = -1.0 / 500.0 // Apply perspective if cellOffsetY < cellHeight && cellOffsetY > -cellHeight { let angle = (cellOffsetY / cellHeight) * .pi / 2 transform = CATransform3DRotate(transform, angle, -1, 0, 0) attributes.transform3D = transform attributes.alpha = 1.0 - (abs(cellOffsetY) / cellHeight) } else { attributes.transform3D = CATransform3DIdentity attributes.alpha = 1.0 } } } But this is not working as I expected. I want to create replica of this kind of animation. What am I missing here?

Hello, I have an iOS app for which I've received a number of similar crash reports over the last few months. Despite a lot of effort, I haven't been able to replicate the crash myself and I'm finding it difficult to diagnose. The main view of the app loads a list of items from Core Data using @FetchRequest and looking at the logs it appears to me that this is the most likely source of the crash as the call stack includes SwiftUI 0x19c78c368 FetchRequest.update() + 472 (FetchRequest.swift:406). It also appears as if this happens on launch as the crash times and launch times are always very similar. I've attempted lots of things to try and replicate the crash, such as launching the app a lot of times, creating lots of items so that the fetch request has a lot of data to retrieve, performing any other database related actions in the app immediately after launch to try and drive out any concurrency issues and simulating degraded thermal and network conditions for the device. I've included a sample crash report, I'd be very grateful if anyone has any suggestions for diagnosing the issue. Crash Report

I have been using the iOS 18 public beta on my iPhone XR for the past 3-4 days, and I frequently play a popular competitive game called “Free Fire.” I’ve noticed an issue while playing the game. Whenever I switch the game to the background for any reason, such as using another app or attending an incoming call, the game’s sound does not come back when I switch back to it. No matter what I do—whether switching the phone to silent mode and then back to normal or adjusting the volume—the sound won’t return. I have to restart the game, which is frustrating since I play this game a lot. I understand that this is a beta version, and some problems are expected, but I wanted to mention this issue here in case it can be resolved. apart from this i also tried a lot small stuff to solve the problem such as reinstalling the game , restarting the device , checking for new updates etc….. but none of them worked 😅
