We are developing an iOS application with a key feature designed to enhance user safety: real-time assessment of Wi-Fi network security. The "Safe Wi-Fi" feature aims to inform users about the security level of the Wi-Fi network they are currently connected to. Our goal is to provide this information seamlessly and continuously, even when the user isn't actively using the app.
Currently, we've implemented this feature using a NWPathMonitor. The limitation of NWPathMonitor is that it doesn't function when the app is in a kill state.
We are looking for guidance on how to achieve persistent Wi-Fi security monitoring in the background or when the app is killed.
Is there any API (Public, Special API, etc) or a recommended approach that allows for real-time Wi-Fi connection monitoring (including connection changes and network details) even when the app is not actively running or is in a kill state.
Thank you in advance for your help.

iOS18的app中加载了自己开发的H5页面,H5页面有个input输入框,每次输入框聚焦的时候,都会弹出键盘滑行键入的提示:“滑动手指将字母拼成词以快速键入”,应该怎么修改,达到不每次都弹出这个提示呢
I need to automate updating to latest iOS betas as part of my ci script, but I can't get it to install iOS 26.0 beta for the life of me, using xcodes or xcodebuild.
I can see the version listed using xcodes runtimes --include-betas, and I tried sudo xcodes runtimes install "iOS 26.0-beta1", but I would get the error
Downloading Runtime iOS 26.0-beta1: 0%
Error: ProcessExecutionError()\
I also tried xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 23A5260l, where I found the specific build id on apples dev images website. But I would get the error
iOS 23A5260l is not available for download.
Specific version download failed, trying downloadPlatform ios latest...
And similar error for trying xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 26.0 or other version ids I found online. But this command would work for any other versions and betas listed on the website.
I was able to install iOS 26.0 through xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS, which automatically installed it for me, but this is unideal for my situation, as I want to control which betas to install instead of just the latest one (like iOS 18.6 beta that just came out).
Is anyone else also struggling with these errors?
xcodes version 1.6.2 Xcode version 26.0 Beta (installed and selected through xcode)
I have an AppIntent that edits an object in my app. The intent accepts an app entity as a parameter, so if you run the intent it will ask which one do you want to edit, then you select one from the list and it shows a dialog that it was edited successfully. I use this same intent in my Home Screen widget initializing it with an objectEntity. The code needs to run in the app's process, not the widget extension process, so the file is added to both targets and it conforms to ForegroundContinuableIntent, and that is supposed to ensure it always runs in the app process. This works great when run from the Shortcuts app and when involved via a button in the Home Screen widget, exactly as expected. Here is that app intent:
@available(iOS 17.0, *)
struct EditObjectIntent: AppIntent {
static let title: LocalizedStringResource = "Edit Object"
@Parameter(title: "Object", requestValueDialog: "Which object do you want to edit?", inputConnectionBehavior: .connectToPreviousIntentResult)
var objectEntity: ObjectEntity
init() {
print("INIT")
}
init(objectEntity: ObjectEntity) {
self.objectEntity = objectEntity
}
@MainActor
func perform() async throws -> some IntentResult & ReturnsValue<ObjectEntity> & ProvidesDialog {
// Edit the object from objectEntity.id...
return .result(value: objectEntity, dialog: "Done")
}
}
@available(iOS 17.0, *)
@available(iOSApplicationExtension, unavailable)
extension EditObjectIntent: ForegroundContinuableIntent { }
I now want to create a ControlButton that uses this intent:
struct EditObjectControlWidget: ControlWidget {
var body: some ControlWidgetConfiguration {
StaticControlConfiguration(kind: "EditObjectControlWidget") {
ControlWidgetButton(action: EditObjectIntent()) {
Label("Edit Object", systemImage: "pencil")
}
}
}
}
When I add the button to Control Center and tap it (on iOS 18), init is called 3x in the app process and 2x in the widget process, yet the perform function is not invoked in either process. No error appears in console logs for the app's process, but this appears for the widget process:
LaunchServices: store <private> or url <private> was nil: Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=process may not map database, _LSLine=72, _LSFunction=_LSServer_GetServerStoreForConnectionWithCompletionHandler}
Attempt to map database failed: permission was denied. This attempt will not be retried.
Failed to initialize client context with error Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-54 "process may not map database" UserInfo={NSDebugDescription=process may not map database, _LSLine=72, _LSFunction=_LSServer_GetServerStoreForConnectionWithCompletionHandler}
What am I doing wrong here? Thanks!

App Intents
In the Get to Know App Intents WWDC session, it was said
New this year, you can now add Spotlight indexing keys directly on properties. Annotating properties allows Spotlight to show more relevant information to customers. When donating indexed entities, the framework will handle creating the searchable item and attribute set for you. After donating entities, they can be found in Spotlight.
How do you donate indexed app entities?
Making app entities available in Spotlight seems to state it's not necessary to donate entities:
The system can automatically extract the keys for Spotlight indexing at compile time and store them in the App Intents metadata that Xcode generates as part of your app’s bundle. As a result, Spotlight indexing is faster and can find your app entities without launching your app, and without you having to explicitly donate the entities to Spotlight. You also don’t need to manually update or remove entities from the Spotlight index when your app’s data changes.
Say I have a CarEntity. The user can create/update/delete cars at any time. What is the modern way to get cars to appear in Spotlight in iOS 26?

I'm using AirPods Pro 2 with an iPhone 15 Pro Max. After installing the IOS 26 beta I'm not able to get the new features to work. Does anyone have thoughts or info? Thanks
Hello everyone,
I'm developing a SwiftUI app that includes a fullscreen video player (AVPlayerViewController or AVPlayerLayer). I'm currently testing the app on an iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 26 Beta, as well as on the corresponding simulator.
With iOS 26, during video playback, an unexpected black or white glow/halo appears around the video, depending on the system appearance (dark/light mode). However, this issue does not occur when testing on iOS 18 — neither on device nor simulator.
Has anyone encountered this issue?
Is there any known workaround or solution to remove this visual effect on iOS 26?
I've attached screenshot below to illustrate the problem.
Thank you in advance for your help!
I'd like to determine, definitively, if nesting of "binaries" within other "binaries" is possible with iOS.
I put binaries in quotes because I've read documentation/forum posts stating things like nested frameworks isn't supported in iOS. A framework is a binary isn't it, or contains one. So does a statement such as that apply specifically and only to nested frameworks, or does it also apple to other scenarios - such as a SPM binary integrated into a framework?
Here's the specific scenario I'm seeking clarity on - suppose an SDK providing an API/functionality is built as an .xcframework and that SDK contains dependencies on two other components (Firebase, AlmoFire, RealmSwift, CocoaLumberjack, whatever etc.).
Lets say the SDK has two dependencies X and Y and it integrates them via SPM.
Q1: If there is an app A which integrates the SDK, and A doesn't use X and Y itself, then can X and Y be embedded within the SDK and thus opague to A? Is this possible in iOS?
Q2: If A integrates the SDK as above, but additionally, it itself uses X and Y independently of the SDK, then is this situation possible in iOS?
Presumably in Q1 the SDK needs to embed X and Y into the framework?
While presumably in Q2 it should not - because the app will be and hence that would lead to duplicate symbols and potential undefined behaviour (and therefore X and Y's SPM package spec needs to specify dynamic?)
I've been trying to get a clear picture of this for literally weeks and weeks, without reaching a clear conclusion.
So some definitive answer would be very much appreciated.

Hi! I'm working on a iOS 26 SwiftUI prototype that adds an element to the content of a screen only when the tab bar is fully visible and not minimized (via .tabBarMinimizeBehavior).
Is there any way to detect when a tab bar is minimized? My hope is that I can use a ternary operator to display something only when a boolean is true.
Here's some code to illustrate my idea:
struct ContentView: View {
@State var isTabBarMinimized: Bool = false
var body: some View {
TabView {
Tab("View1", systemImage: "rainbow") {
// Only appears when tab bar is fully visible
Color.blue
.opacity(isTabBarMinimized? 0 : 1 )
}
Tab("View2", systemImage: "rainbow") {
View2()
}
Tab("View3", systemImage: "rainbow") {
View3()
}
Tab("View4", systemImage: "rainbow") {
View4()
}
}
.tabBarMinimizeBehavior(.onScrollDown)
}
}
Is this setup possible / have a solution:
There is a .xcframework F, which uses a 3rd party library, lets call it L.
There is an app which uses the xcframework
The app also uses L
Both the app and F use SPM to integrate L
F is using L for its own internal purposes. F is providing some functionality to the app. How it implements that ideally should be a black box from the app's perspective.
The app also happens to use L for its own purposes.
I can't get this set up working, always get warnings about duplicate symbols when running the App.
This will presumably be due to the fact there are separate copies of L in both F and A.
So how can that be eliminated?
Can F not statically like to L and use the App's version of L at runtime? If so how can Xcode be configured so that F can actually compile?
Or vice versa - can the App not statically link in its own copy of L and use that in the framework? If so, similar questions, how to configure Xcode to set this up?
I can't believe this is an obscure use case, yet after days of searching and reading documentation I can't find any solution.
Note that I was able to get this going when the app and the framework used Cocoapods to integrate L, but I just can't do similarly if the use of Cocoapods is replaced with SMP.
When using cocoapods, within the frameworks Xcode section, the pods framework is set to Do Not Embed. This is probably the vital difference between the working Cocoapods implementation and the not working SPM solution. However, when using SPM Xcode doesn't present any option to either embed nor not embed the dependency. Why not? Can it somehow be set to not embed?
Either processInfo.hostName should return the same info as UIDevice.name ("iPhone") or it should require the same entitlement that UIDevice.name does to return the actual result.
If processInfo.hostName is intended to return the local Bonjour name, why does it need 'local network' permission? Why isn't the 'local network' permission documented for processInfo.hostName as this is hard to track down?
Tested on iOS 18.5
I'm creating a .xcframework in order to deliver an api/functionality to a customer for inclusion into an app.
I'm doing it as a .xcframework as I want it to be a binary so that the source code isn't accessable.
The xcframework has dependencies on modules which are installed via SPM (there are a few, an example is PhoneNumberKit)
When I build the xcframework and then add it to a test program and invoke its api then there's a run time error saying "PhoneNumberKit/resource_bundle_accessor.swift:44: Fatal error: unable to find bundle named PhoneNumberKit_PhoneNumberKit"
How can I build the xcframework so that its dependencies are included within it?
(Stepping back a bit, is an xcframework an appropriate approach for this?)

Getting this in log any time I try to start typing anything into a UITextField:
First responder issue detected: non-key window attempting reload - allowing due to manual keyboard (first responder window is <UIWindow: 0x10e016880; frame = (0 0; 1133 744); gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x10ba53850>; backgroundColor = <UIDynamicProviderColor: 0x108563370; provider = <NSMallocBlock: 0x11755bd50>>; layer = <UIWindowLayer: 0x10ba84190>>, key window is )
I'm suspicious of the empty "key window is" field. Everything else in the app is working fine. But I cannot figure out why this fails to show the keyboard, and no keyboard notifications are being received by the app. What could it be?
Hi,
We are the developers of an enterprise iOS application for internal distribution.
Since a few hours, we start to receive "(app name) is no longer available" error message and can't open the app.
But the certificate is still valid,
Do you have any advice for an immediate solution?

Our project using UITabBarController and set a custom tabbar using below code:

Below are the steps to reproduce the bug in Contacts app.
Open Contacts app.
Now search for a contact and didSelect that contact.
Now slightly hold swipe right(from view's center leading position) as to pop the view but not fully swipe, now release the finger and you can see the back nav bar button missing and tapping the back button position also doesn't perform dismiss action.
Now do fully swipe from left to right to dismiss(pop) current view.
Here you can see the search bar missing.-> That's the bug.
