I'm attempting to use AVExternalStorageDevice.requestAccess on iOS 18 using Xcode 16. When calling requestAccess, a dialog does appear, but the completionHandler closure is never called to indicate whether access was granted. If using the async version, the function just never returns. Calling requestAccess also results in a mediaServicesWereReset (-11819) error without fail. Supposedly, "the system only presents the dialog to a person the first time your app calls the method." That also doesn't appear to be the case. The dialog appears every time requestAccess is called, regardless of previous invocations and whether "Allow" or "Don't Allow" was selected. The dialog itself says "You can change this in Privacy settings." I cannot find this permission anywhere in the Settings app, neither under Privacy & Security nor under the app-specific settings page. Has anyone else experienced these issues? Am I missing something here? I did suspect permissions issues and tried adding a NSRemovableVolumesUsageDescription entry to the app. This did not appear to change anything.

How can I obtain the invoice order id on the user's purchase order？For example, "MT2345678"

I have sync 3.4 on my ford F150 - CarPlay does not work with iOS 18.1. Sync says I don’t have anything connected. Something is up.

I have a mac os app that uses screen capture logic. It was originally coded using the Quartz CG api: if let cgimage = CGDisplayCreateImage(CGMainDisplayID(), rect: cgRect) {...} and this worked as expected even when capturing a screen rect that began on secondary monitor and ended on primary monitor (or was entirely contained on secondary monitor). However now that API is deprecated and you're supposed to use ScreenCaptureKit instead. So I have attempted to convert the code. The trial code is: let scConfig = SCStreamConfiguration() scConfig.sourceRect = drect scConfig.width = Int(drect.width) scConfig.height = Int(drect.height) SCScreenshotManager.captureImage(contentFilter: sFilter, configuration: scConfig) {any,error in if let cgim = any { print("image dims \(cgim.width), \(cgim.height), requested: \(drect)") self.writeToFile2(cgim) } else { print("SCREEN CAP failed") } } ... where sFilter was previously set based on main screen display (with no exclusions). This code also "works" as long as the capture rect is entirely on primary monitor. But it fails if the rect spans both monitors or is fully contained on secondary monitor. (By fails I mean it produces empty image) So my question is: How to use ScreenCaptureKit to obtain screen shot of rectangle that spans dual monitors?

I'm experiencing an issue with QuickLook in iOS 18 where.reality files with audio playback are affected. When I open a.reality file that includes audio, the audio track plays twice: once from the moment the file is opened, and again from the start of the animation. This results in a duplicate audio playback. I've tested this issue on multiple devices running iOS 16, 17, and 18, and the problem only occurs on iOS 18. I've tried restarting the devices and checking for any software updates, but the issue persists. Steps to reproduce: Open a.reality file with audio playback in QuickLook on an iOS 18 device. Observe the audio playback. Expected result: The audio track should play only once, from the start of the animation. Actual result: The audio track plays twice, once from the moment the file is opened and again from the start of the animation. Device and iOS version: I've tested this issue on iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 18, iPhone 13 running iOS 16 and iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 17,

It's simple to reproduce. The bug is simply when you queue a bunch of songs to play, it will always queue less than what you gave it. Here, I'm attempting to play an apple curated playlist, it will only queue a subset, usually less than 15, but as low as 1 out of 100. Use the system's forward and backwards to test it out. Here is the code, just paste it in to the ContentView file and make sure you have the capibility to run it. import SwiftUI import MusicKit struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { VStack{ Button("Play Music") { Task{ await playMusic() } } } } } func getOnlySongsFromTracks(tracks:MusicItemCollection<Track>?) async throws ->MusicItemCollection<Song>?{ var songs:[Song]? if let t = tracks{ songs = [Song]() for track in t { if case let .song(song) = track { songs?.append(song) print("track is song \(track.debugDescription)") }else{ print("track not song \(track.debugDescription)") } } } if let songs = songs { let topSongs = MusicItemCollection(songs) return topSongs } return nil } func playMusic() async { // Request authorization let status = await MusicAuthorization.request() guard status == .authorized else { print("Music authorization denied.") return } do { // Perform a hardcoded search for a playlist let searchTerm = "2000" let request = MusicCatalogSearchRequest(term: searchTerm, types: [Playlist.self]) let response = try await request.response() guard let playlist = response.playlists.first else { print("No playlists found for the search term '\(searchTerm)'.") return } // Fetch the songs in the playlist let detailedPlaylist = try await playlist.with([.tracks]) guard let songCollection = try await getOnlySongsFromTracks(tracks: detailedPlaylist.tracks) else { print("no songs found") return } guard let t = detailedPlaylist.tracks else { print("no tracks") return } // Create a queue and play let musicPlayer = ApplicationMusicPlayer.shared let q = ApplicationMusicPlayer.Queue(for: t) musicPlayer.queue = q try await musicPlayer.play() print("Now playing playlist: \(playlist.name)") } catch { print("An error occurred: \(error.localizedDescription)") } }

I was wondering if anyone could assist with the following query. Apple's Private Relay functionality requires companies to register all email-sending subdomains for the service to function properly. With 26 markets and 3 subdomains per market for one department, and another department with around 20 markets and even more subdomains, the limit of 100 sending domains is exceeded. As a result, we’re unable to register all the domains currently being used to send emails to our customers. Does any have any recommendations to overcome this?

Hello, we are embedding a PHPickerViewController with UIKit (adding the vc as a child vc, embedding the view, calling didMoveToParent) in our app using the compact mode.

Hello Apple, I am yet again concerned about the new iOS Screen Mirroring that going to be available on iOS 18 stable. I have an app that is only meant to be viewed on iPhones (not Macs or Computers, due to various security reasons. I have raised a Feedback Assistant on this and Apple have ignored this. Other apps that might benefit from a Disabling / Detecting API for iOS Screen Mirroring for Apps may be Snapchat, DAZN, Sony, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc. Is there still pans for an API that can disable this functionality now or in the future as I am sure that a company like Snapchat doesn't want people screenshotting photos using iOS Screen Mirroring and the app doesn't know. Thanks.

Hello, I am wondering how one can play music videos (with the actual video playing) with the ApplicationMusicPlayer using MusicKit for Swift? There is not much documentation on this, so any help would be appreciated.

Hello, I am trying to make use of SCContentSharingPicker for my app and I wonder how I can detect a close event of SCContentSharingPicker. I could open the picker screen with following simple code: SCContentSharingPicker.shared.isActive = true SCContentSharingPicker.shared.add(self) SCContentSharingPicker.shared.present() And I closed it with "Cancel" button located at the top right corner. Initially I was expecting to get a event through an observer like below but realised that it's called when a stream is canceled. extension ContentPickerButton: SCContentSharingPickerObserver { func contentSharingPicker(_ picker: SCContentSharingPicker, didCancelFor stream: SCStream?) { logger.info("Picker canceled for stream \(stream)") } I would like to get a picker close event so that I can deactivate the picker. (Otherwise, camera icon will stay alive at the tray.) How do we get a close event?

Hello, I noticed that the CADisplayLink seems to emit incorrect targetTimestamp and timestamp in the iOS 18 simulator. If you compute the actual duration of a frame, the duration is always a negative number. This only occurs in the iOS 18 simulator.

The scenario is quite simple run an application which uses [SCShareableContent getShareableContentExcludingDesktopWindows] and invoke captureImageWithFilter in completionHandler. delay invoking captureImageWithFilter for several seconds and switch user session before call it. The WindowServer crashes if app runs in inactive session. How to manage this issue correctly? Are there any way to avoid this crash?

ApplicationMusicPlayer is available on the Mac! 🎉🎉🎉 Enormous thanks to @JoeKun and the team. I've already gotten my app up and running through Catalyst, and I've successfully played music! I also got some timeouts, but that was happening on my phone a lot that day too, so maybe my local CDN was just having a bad day. I wanted to ask this question in a lab this week, but the timing didn't work out: Do you expect the experience to be the same using ApplicationMusicPlayer on a Catalyst vs a macOS target? I'm hoping to reuse much of my iPad app and go the Catalyst route, but I wanted to double check that the new support wasn't just for macOS.
