I noticed that I have duplicate Apps on my iPhone!
I've signed up for the Public Beta program, so this might be a feature/bug in the Beta.
What I first noticed was that one of my apps showed up in the Doc (I don't remember putting it there) a few days ago, and in looking around, I still have the same app in a folder on my home screen. I thought this could be a nice feature allowing me quick access to it from the Dock and from my folder, but it wasn't the app that I'd want there.
I thought I might be able to move it off the dock and back to the folder, but when I did that, the app showed up twice in the folder! I moved a different app to the dock, and it disappeared from the folder which is what I'd expect.
So...if I delete 1 of the duplicates in the folder (or from the dock), will that delete both?
Here you can see the Alula app in both the 'Remote Control' folder and the Dock:
Here too (although the dock is fuzzy because the folder is open):
I moved the app from the dock back to the folder, and now there are two there:
Here's the Public Beta that I'm running

I have an ansible provisioner that is being triggered, but keeps failing because it cannot write a file out under /System/Volumes/Data/home. There are no files in that directory to clean up. When I do a df it shows that filesystem mount size as 0Bi.
I ran the disk utility, but that did not resolve it either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is blocking my local development.

I'm currently trying to develop a transparent data encryption(TDE) system on MacOS 12.6.8. Our company has its own file encryption format. In order to facilitate safe and convenient file transfer between Windows and Mac platforms, we need to develop a TDE system on the Mac platform (on the Windows platform, we have developed such a system based on the Minifilter framework).
I tried to implement this system using a MacFuse based file system and the Endpoint Security system extension, but found that this did not allow complete control of files on the Mac system. For example, when you use Finder to copy an encrypted file, the decrypted data will be copied out. I'm guessing this might be due to Finder or some other system process cache.
By referring to the current product introductions of other companies, I learned that the current TDE systems on Mac systems are all based on kernel extension. But I noticed that Apple no longer encourages kernel extension development, and the Mac kernel has fewer and fewer APIs open to development.
So I would like to ask is it still feasible to develop a TDE system based on the kernel extension?
Hi, so I have this case where I would like the user to pick a folder where they want to create a file/folder using UIDocumentPicker/Browser and I make the file using open() in cpp and use its fd to read/write to the file. Now, the first thing is I have to call startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() on the directory url, then I make the file, get its fd(file descriptor) and I leave this makefile() function.
Every startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() needs to be matched with a stopstartAccessingSecurityScopedResource().
So my question is do I 'have' to call stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource() 'just before' calling close() on the fd.
Or is it fine to call it after I have made the fd i.e., at the end of the makefile() function?
In the tests I did it seems that once the fd is opened, even if stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource() is called on it(the directory), I can continue to read/write from the fd until I close() the fd?
So, I'm looking into startaccessingsecurityscopedresource() function and from my current understanding this is to get temporary access to files/folders you don't implicitly have access to i.e., that don't belong to your sandbox. I can understand what it means wrt macOS, iOS, iPadOS, but what does it mean in watchOS and tvOS where there isn't any file sharing between different apps? And what is it's relevance wrt using iCloud (if there is any?)

Dear Apple Developer Forum Community, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to seek assistance regarding an error I encountered while attempting to create a Vedic content in the app from the one YouTube link.
I have been unsuccessful in resolving it. I am reaching out to the community in the hope that someone might have encountered a similar issue or have expertise in troubleshooting Xcode errors. Any guidance, suggestions, or solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your time and assistance.
Sincerely,
Zipzy [games]

Is anyone experiencing super slow finder functions related to Indexing and Spotlight? Folder hierarchy access is extremely slow.
Does Sonoma 14.3.x address any of these issues? Workflow is hampered with this OS and creating productivity limitations which
are not acceptable. Please advise. Thank you.

I've been experiencing an issue that has causing me a lot of problems, as various apps including Whatsapp, Phone pay, paytm, youtube, galaery, and more will randomly log out, and reset back to their inital state as if I just installed it on a clean phone. Apps like Whatsapp and Telegram will have lost all of their chat history, even if it was backup up on iCloud.
I'm at a total loss as to what might be causing this problem after restoring the phone multiple times (the last time without restoring to a backup).
I m using iphone 13 pro max.

Is there an API that allows mounting a volume, just like DADiskMount(), but that also accepts a password or automatically requests keychain access for encrypted volumes? Could be APFS or CoreStorage volumes. How do you mount those programmatically?

We are trying to read disk sectors raw Data. Sample code can be found at the bottom.
For external drive, it is working fine. We are able to see raw data which is not zero.
For internal ssd APFS drive, We only get data filled with zeroes.
We have tried with System Integrity Protection enabling and disabling.
Please let us know Why same API failing for internal APFS drive?
Is there any specific API available for reading raw data of internal APFS drive?
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <iomanip>
int main() {
// Adjust this to your disk device on macOS
const char* diskPath = "/dev/rdisk1"; //internal SSD device on macOS
// Size of a sector (usually 4096 bytes for most disks on macOS)
const int sectorSize = 4096;
// Number of sectors you want to read
const int numSectors = 8;
// Starting sector number
off_t startSector = 0;
// Open the disk device using low-level file I/O
int diskFile = open(diskPath, O_RDONLY);
if (diskFile == -1) {
std::cerr << "Error opening disk file." << std::endl;
return 1;
}
// Read multiple sectors into a buffer
char buffer[numSectors * sectorSize];
ssize_t bytesRead = pread(diskFile, buffer, numSectors * sectorSize, startSector * sectorSize);
// Close the disk file
close(diskFile);
if (bytesRead != numSectors * sectorSize) {
std::cerr << "Error reading sectors." << std::endl;
return 1;
}
// Display the contents of the sectors in hex
for (int i = 0; i < numSectors * sectorSize; ++i) {
std::cout << std::hex << std::setw(2) << std::setfill('0') << (int)(unsigned char)buffer[i] << " ";
if ((i + 1) % 16 == 0) {
std::cout << std::endl;

My App Rejected 4.3 Design: Spam
What does that mean exactly?
I took extra pictures with the phone from the app
and upload to APP Store
and the same thing over and over again (Guideline 4.3 - Design - Spam)
just the question
Why don't you want to unlock it?
what is spam?
The APP Or the pictures?
If the APP is spam why?
That means
One user cannot create two different websites
with Various APP
An e.g. I have a social network I want to do
then a dating site
On the dating app I only get a message saying it's spam
Funny what's in an APP is spam?
Because dating app?
Or can a user not make multiple page APPs because it almost looks like this?
Then that means BMW can't make new BMWs because the new BWM also has 4 doors and 4 wheels
or how should I understand that?
which is still funny
on Google Play the same APP is not spam

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention a persistent issue that we have been experiencing since January 12, 2024, at 4:05 AM（JPN）. It appears that push notifications are not reaching some iPhone devices in our user base.
We have taken the following steps in an attempt to resolve the issue:
1.Checked the notification settings on the affected iPhone devices to ensure that the app is allowed to receive notifications.
2.Verified that the app is updated to the latest version on all affected devices.
3.Restarted the devices to rule out any temporary glitches.
4.Uninstalled and reinstalled the app on the affected devices.
5.Ensured that the devices have a stable internet connection via Wi-Fi or mobile data.
Despite these efforts, the problem persists. We suspect that there might be underlying issues related to the push notification service or other technical aspects.
Could you please assist us in investigating and resolving this matter? If there are specific logs, error messages, or any guidance you can provide, it would greatly aid our troubleshooting process.
Our users greatly depend on receiving timely notifications, and we want to ensure that the service is working seamlessly for everyone. Any insights or assistance you can provide to resolve this issue would be highly appreciated.

Hi, I am working on an iOS app that has a custom document type that can be shared with other devices through Airdrop, iMessages, etc. The app should appear in the "Open In..." menu upon receiving the file however, currently it gets directed straight to the files app. I got this feature to work in a previous iteration of the app in iOS 16 but it no longer works with iOS 17. The feature is also broken with the previous iteration in iOS 17. I have defined the custom document type under both Documents Type and Exported Type Identifiers. I have attached a copy of the info.plist below. My question is how can you make your app appear under the list of apps shown in the "Open In..." menu that appears when receiving files for a custom file type.

Hello everyone,
I'm having a little issue with mounting my external hard drive lately. I've tried quite a few methods in hope of getting it to work again, but so far, no luck. I hope someone can help me solve this issue, or those who have the same problem may also share your insights.
My external hard drive was working fine about a week ago. But one day, I ejected the hard drive and the icon disappeared, so I thought it was safe to unplug it. When I did, it said the hard drive was not properly removed. It still works fine when I use it the next day, but the same thing happened. It said the drive was not properly removed after I ejected the drive, waited for the icon to disappear, and then unplugged the drive. After that, it never works again, and the attached images are the info I got when I tried to mount or run first aid on this drive.
Please help & thank you in advance!

Hello,
Anyone know of relevant documentation that captures the difference between
vfsStruct.f_fsid and fstat.st_ino ?
sys/stat.h declares:
ino_t st_ino; /* [XSI] File serial number */
AND
sys/statvfs.h declares:
unsigned long f_fsid; /* Filesystem ID */
Based on some tests, it seems that the st_ino is the number/inode_number that the filesystem identifies the file-resource by ? I observed that this number gets a unique value when I copy a file even when the Finder/FS utilizes the Space-Saver feature of MacOS. This value is identical to the results returned by the command ls "-i" . When copying via Finder, I am seeing distinct st_ino values for source and destination files.
f_fsid seems to be identifying the File differently though, perhaps taking into account what Data/attributes objects the file resource points to ? I observed that this number gets an identical value when I copy a file even when the Finder/FS utilizes the Space-Saver feature of MacOS. So, the value of f_fsid seems to be copied over to the destination file record. Also, I could not find a way to display f_fsid via the ls command.
On a related note, Any documentation regarding MacOS Finder/FS's Space-Saver feature or how it is implemented ?
Thanks,
Vikram.S.Warraich
