I'm using the External Accessory API to communicate with Bluetooth MFI device in my iOS app. It works perfect on iPhone/iPad, but does not work when I run the app on a M1/M2 Silicon Mac. The code I use is: EAAccessoryManager accessoryManager = EAAccessoryManager.SharedAccessoryManager; EAAccessory[] accessories = accessoryManager.ConnectedAccessories; The supported accessory protocols are properly defined in info.plist. This code works perfect on iOS devices, but always returns 0 connected accessories when app is executed on a M1/M2 silicon Mac. Is there something that I have to add to info.plist?

Recently I encountered this error. I researched and discovered that many people had the same error as me. I tried everything and almost all the instructions didn't fix it completely. I think it's related to the Touchbar. So is there any instructions to fix this problem? This incident happened several years ago. Describe the error I encountered: Sometimes it goes to the login screen and the Touchbar appears to work normally. But fingerprint doesn't work Sometimes it displays the Wifi login screen as we know

Hello i have one question about SSID meaning in PLWIFIAGENT_EVENTBACKWARD_CUMULATIVEPROPERTIES table in powerlog DB. It looks like a 32 character long hex string, what does it mean? e.g. MAC, bssid or ssid encryption?

My device constantly restarts with ISO 18 beta 3, as well as 1 and 2, which makes it practically impossible to operate the device.

I'm on Sonoma 14.0. Suddenly -- I made no software updates -- my trackpad won't open hyperlinks when I hover and click over them. Any thoughts on how I can fix this please? Thank you.

Hello everyone, we implemented the AccessorySetupKit successfully and is working but we found an issue or maybe an issue in our implementation: we cannot scan for peripherals in other part of the App with the CBCentralManager, the state is alway Off. Is that intended or maybe we are doing something wrong? In the docs I didn't find nothing about the relation between the Framework and Core Bluetooth and we need to scan for peripherals without showing the user the ASK UI Modal - it would be amazing if ASK could do a silent discovery Appreciate any help! Fernando

We are developing an iOS app where users can log in and access the application. If the user closes the app on the same device, they will remain logged in the next time they open the app. However, if the user changes the SIM card on the same device and then tries to access the application, the app should prompt the user to log in again due to the SIM card change. Please let us know the best solution to achieve this requirement and whether it is feasible to manage the login state based on the SIM card information.

Currently (as of iOS 18 dev beta 4), if a BLE device supports RRA and the MAC address changes while the ASAccessorySession's picker is displayed a second entry is added to the picker (usually without a friendly name). Once in this state one picker item will work, the other will display a "Cannot Add Accessory" error. Are there any plans to improve this user experience in AccessorySetupKit or do you have any recommendations on how to better handle this use case? We currently have a work around for this in our existing pairing flow but it does not translate to ASDiscoveryDescriptor as it requires comparing previous BLE advertisements.

I'm using IOS17, device is iPhone15 connect to computer and open ATS, always show The rvictl tool might not be behaving as expected. after clicking reinstall rvictl still can't capture the message.

Ever since I went and upgraded my system to the newest iOS I kept experiencing this and my system becomes unresponsive hence when this spiral black screen occurs all my apps freeze and then stop working after it ends and the icons don't show for the app for a few seconds. I am on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and it has 1tb of storage. I wanted to ask is there any way I can fix this, I’ve been having a black screen every day since iOS 15 it was only at least once a day. Now it’s every few minutes.

I am trying to setup AccessorySetupKit. I have several questions: Is it possible to setup classic Bluetooth accessory? In documentation you say: "Each display item’s ASDiscoveryDescriptor needs to have a bluetoothCompanyIdentifier or bluetoothNameSubstring, and at least one of the following accessory identifiers: bluetoothServiceUUID Either ssid or ssidPrefix, which needs to have a non-zero length. It’s an error to supply both SSID and SSIDPrefix, and your app crashes if you do. A bluetoothManufacturerDataBlob and bluetoothManufacturerDataMask that are the same length. A bluetoothServiceDataBlob and bluetoothServiceDataMask that are the same length." Is it possible to have only bluetoothCompanyIdentifier and UUID ?

I just downloaded iOS 18 beta public and was able to customize my apps on one of my profiles. But when I went to one of my other Lockscreen/Homescreen profiles the apps where the same color as the original profile.

Good morning, I hope to find someone who knows better than me regarding reading NFC tags I'll explain what happens: if I read my card [iso 7816 nfc card with fingerprint reader] everything is fine. If I bring another card near it, for example the Italian tax code, it reads OK (so in the UI it says that it has been read) in the usual entitlement error log I honestly would prefer it to show the error: self.nfcSession?.invalidate(errorMessage: "Not a WiBioCard Otp Card") while I have precisely in the UI that everything went well.

My AppleCare is about to expire (a week) and I am experiencing 1% battery health decrease every 10 days or so. I use my iPhone 14 pro max lightly, and usually full charge it every 2 days. Followed all the tips that Apple recommends to maintain battery health, all of them did not work. Went to Apple store to get it fixed, but I have to pay out out pocket because it is now 94% and not eligible for AppleCare coverage that is supposed to be 79% or less. Suggestions would be appreciated on what should I do to get the battery replaced with my coverage. thank you

For some reason since I’ve downloaded iOS 18e etc I have noticed my phone has gone from 256gb to 255gb. Wonder why?

I am using a Matter Device to do the OTA test with iPhone 8 Plus, HomePod mini, and the Home App. however, there is some abnormal behavior. The problem is that: The Matter device in the pop-up message is still the old firmware version after the OTA upgrade successfully. A few minutes later, the firmware version is updated in the device info but Apple Home still pop-up that a new firmware version is available for the Matter device with the same new version. When I restart the HomePod mini, no more updates are available for my device. is the HomePod cached the firmware version? The firmware version display format is incorrect? I remember the firmware format is in string e.g. 1.6.138. I could confirm this issue happened on HomePod mini V17.4. example: The old firmware version of the Matter device should be 251689472 in number and 1.5.122.0 in string. The new firmware version of the Matter device after OTA should be 1.6.138.0 in string and 268470784 in number (OTA upgrade with new firmware version) **Please let me know if more information is needed. ** Environment: iPhone 8 Plus, IOS 16.7.5 Apple HomePod Mini V17.5

After the 'IdentificationAccepted' message, I sent 'RequestAppLaunch' with 'AppBundleID' and 'AppLaunchMethod'. However, the app isn't launched by the external accessory. I checked it with ATS and saw the error message: 'Error: accessory sent a message that the Apple device did not acknowledge during identification. Section: Section 28.2.2 Sent/Received iAP2 Control Session Messages. Source: Accessory Interface Specification R42.' Do you have any idea how to fix it? Thank you in advance.

Issue: Amtrak's state partner in New Jersey, SEPTA, has requested the incorporation of NFC suppression when an Amtrak mobile ticket is opened on their app. This feature ensures that NFC remains inactive and does not inadvertently bring up Apple Pay, Google Pay, etc., when customers are trying to scan their Amtrak tickets on SEPTA validators. Request: Amtrak is requesting to use the entitlement com.apple.developer.passkit.pass-presentation-suppression in our Amtrak app to suppress the display of Apple Pay passes when the app is in use. This is to prevent interference with the NFC reader during ticket validation, as illustrated in the attached screenshot from SEPTA's app, which shows a similar implementation with the message: "Payment cards and passes will not work automatically while NJ TRANSIT is in use." Entitlement Information: Entitlement Key: com.apple.developer.passkit.pass-presentation-suppression Boolean Value: YES Justification: The entitlement will enable the requestAutomaticPassPresentationSuppressionWithResponseHandler: method to keep the Amtrak app in the foreground when operating near NFC or other RF readers. This feature is crucial for ensuring seamless ticket scanning and validation for our passengers without the interference of Apple Pay or other digital wallets. Reference Documentation: For more information on this entitlement, please refer to the Apple Developer documentation: Apple Pay and PassKit Entitlements. Implementation: In our entitlement configuration file, we will add the following key: com.apple.developer.passkit.pass-presentation-suppression Supporting Evidence: The SEPTA app demonstrating the implementation of this feature can be found in the App Store. Amtrak seeks to implement a similar suppression mechanism, displaying the message: "Payment cards and passes will not work automatically while Amtrak app is in use." We seek Apple's approval for this implementation to prevent any potential rejection of our app store submission for incorporating this critical feature for our state partner's requirements. Thank you for your consideration.
