FaceID fails with "Problem with TrueDepth camera" in iOS 17.5 B2 on an iPhone 12 mini. I've erased the phone and restored from iCloud backup, and though it began to work again properly, FaceID soon failed again - maybe after an hour or two. I don't believe this is a TrueDepth camera hardware problem. I've erased and restored a second time and I expect it to fail again. I'd like to downgrade to 17.4.1 but the erase/restore procedure installs the beta, even when I deselect the Developer Beta option. Anyone else seeing this? TIA

Xcode 14 introduced some ridiculous Info.plist management bugs which are not yet fixed in Xcode 15: The bugs are manifested in the General and Info tabs of target management: -The Build value in the General tab is not in sync with the CFBundleVersion value in the Info tab (that is, changing the value in the General tab won't affect the Info tab and vice versa). -The App Category value in the General tab isn't in sync with the LSApplicationCategoryType value in the Info tab. -Additional document type properties in the Info tab cannot be added: clicking "Click here to add..." doesn't do anything. -Document types in Info tab cannot be deleted: once you added a document type instance (even as a test) there's no way to remove it.

When sending HTTP requests to API's, the header is now capitalized Old (iOS 17.4 and before): "headers": { "origin": "https://example.com" } New (iOS 17.5): "headers": { "Origin": "https://example.com" } Is this a bug or intentional? I couldn't find this change anywhere.

We are working on a new iOS application utilizing the new iOS 17 APIs, and I have updated Xcode to Xcode 15 Beta, and my iPhone 12 Pro to iOS 17 Beta 2, though this issue was also present on iOS 17 Beta 1. In Xcode, for "Signing and Capabilities" I have my Team set to my personal team, utilizing the "Automatically manage signing" tick. While the app will build and install on my phone, I immediately receive this error, with no popup to trust the developer. Going to Settings > General > VPN and Device Management, I can see my Development Team, and I am able to Trust my team. When trying to then Verify App(s), it tells me it will use my internet connection to verify the application. However, it will then do nothing, with no error, regardless of how many times I attempt to verify. Trying to open the app from my home screen will result in the repeated "Unable to Verify Error". Trying to reset network settings does not result in any change in this behavior, nor does a reset of the phone. I have tried 4 different high quality WiFi networks, as well as a fully connection AT&T cellular LTE connection, and still receive this error. I am running out of diagnostic scenarios, and I'm curious if anyone has found a resolution to this?

I am installing the 14.5 beta2 update last night (however this has happened on non beta releases too) and I wake up with his morning to see the login screen. I enter my password and the update screen is “paused” with 6 minutes to go and then immediately begins completing. I’ve noticed this happening in the past as well and disregarded it. This can’t be normal during an update for the login screen to appear and stop installations. I was forced to post this in the beta forum by Apple.. "We removed your post “Screen locking while updating macOS - stopping update because it contained information about beta software. "

I've published my app on TestFlight and enabled the public beta link, allowing users to try out the app and provide feedback. I'm considering creating a custom TestFlight badge (Like this - https://askyourself.app/assets/testflight.png) for my app, linking it to the public beta link, and embedding it on my website. Is this an acceptable practice?

I updated my Mac to 14.5 (beta), and it changed my wallpaper, reset all of my settings, moved apps around, and won't let me move files and says, "Preparing To Move File". I code a lot so it might be something I did, but it wasn't. I have an EtreCheck report below. EtreCheck Report

We are in the midst of testing camera and photo/video access using iPadPro 17 Beta (21A5326a) from within our application, and we are encountering an error message on only one device (iPad Pro 12.9-inch, A2229). Full access to the camera roll has been explicitly granted to the application when prompted. On only the above device, attempting to select an existing photo results in this error popup: "Photo or Video Unavailable: This app is using the Photos picker in an unsupported configuration." (We are able to take and save new photos from within our application on this device with no issues.) I have a second device on hand (iPadPro 10.5-inch, A1701) that presently also has the same iPadOS version installed and is running the same application, and we are able to select existing photos and take new photos with no errors. I have compared the Photos settings on both devices, and they appear to be identical. On a third iPad device running with the same iPadOS version, application, and Photos settings (that device is not in my possession), it has been reported that no errors are encountered when either taking new photos or selecting existing photos via the Photo Picker from within our app. We are trying to figure out what might be causing this error to appear when selecting existing photos on only the A2229 device, and/or what aspect of the configuration or settings would need to be modified in order to use the photo picker on that one iPad Pro. This issue had not been encountered on the A229 device while running with iPadOS 16. Searching the text of this error message online has not returned anything significantly meaningful thus far.

What I mean by "fake" here is some sort of button which will state "Buy a pass for 4.99$" and then, once you click it, it will tell you that the app is still in early phase and so the pass is actually free. Reason for wanting this: We'd like to test the willingness to pay without going through the hassle of setting up everything related to having real in-app purchases.

My app was recently approved and I have been trying to watch metrics so I an adjust my marketing campaign. When I go to the Apple Developer analytics dashboard there isn't anything there and its been almost a week since releasing my pre-order. The only message I see is "Not enough Data: Data is displayed when a certain number of data points become available." When will this data become available and how many data points are needed until I can begin tracking? On the Google Play Console I was able to see when I had as little as 2 pre-registered users.

Hi guys, I am migrating my widgets to iOS 17 and because I already manage my layout margins, I just want to disable to new built-in widget content margins. I did it by using ".contentMarginsDisabled()" on the WidgetConfiguration and it works fine at run time. WIDGET CODE struct MyWidget: Widget { let kind: String = "MyWidget" var body: some WidgetConfiguration { return IntentConfiguration(kind: kind, intent: MyWidgetIntent.self, provider: WidgetProvider<MyWidgetIntent>()) { entry in WidgetView<MyWidgetIntent>(entry: entry) } .configurationDisplayName("My Widget") .supportedFamilies([WidgetFamily.systemMedium]) .contentMarginsDisabled() // <-- HERE } } RESULT Nevertheless, when previewing the WidgetView in a WidgetPreviewContext I didn't find anyway to disable the content margins (because manipulating directly the view and not a WidgetConfiguration). PREVIEW CODE struct MyWidget_Previews: PreviewProvider { static var previews: some View { WidgetView<MyWidgetIntent>(entry: WidgetEntry<MyWidgetIntent>()) // .padding(-16) Need to add this negative padding to disable margin .previewContext( WidgetPreviewContext(family: .systemMedium)) } } Do you know how to disable the content margins for widget preview?

I am playing around with Live Activities and got everything working on the iOS 16.1 beta 2 simulator using Xcode 14.1 beta 2 (14B5024i). However, running the same code on a real physical device (iPhone X) running iOS 16.1 beta 2 does not show the Live Activity on the lock screen at all. 😵 Did anyone get their Live Activity working on a real device yet, or is this an issue with the current beta? Things I have already checked: ActivityAuthorizationInfo().areActivitiesEnabled returns true on my physical device let activity = try Activity.request(...) successfully completes without throwing and I can see the activity.id printed to the console Other live activities - such as the iOS system timer activity - do show up on my physical device just fine

Has anyone else experienced issues with Spotlight losing indexing of the Applications? Spotlight no longer displays any applications in the results when typing in an application name. Additionally it appears to be ignoring the settings of "Spotlight" set within the preferences. Example: I have "Websites" & "Siri Suggestions" turned off, however these still appear in the search results of spotlight.

I'm not sure if I'm changed an unknown-to-me setting somewhere, but since this morning, after profiling an app (metal, allocations, etc), every project I run/build on Xcode 15b3, either on simulator or on device, displays partially-alpha images blended to black, as if there was some problem in the process of compiling the PNGs (lack of premultiplying, color space, etc). If I open those same projects on Xcode 14, they are displayed everything as they should. Also, If I open them on other computers with Xcode 15b3 other than mine, it also works fine. And it was working fine for me this morning as well, but not anymore. I've tried uninstalling Xcode beta and the simulator a few times, cleaning folders and preferences, hoping it was some setting I changed by mistake with some hotkey, but no luck so far. I'll attach two pictures, one from Xcode 14, and the other one from Xcode 15b3, hoping it's some silly thing I'm missing. xc15b3: xc14:

I have an app in the app store which is working fine. Some users reported that they have app crashing when they are using iOS 17.4 beta. I could recreate the issue and it is happening when ModelContainer is crerated. This code.. do { let configuration = ModelConfiguration(for: MyTodo.self, isStoredInMemoryOnly: false) modelContainer = try ModelContainer(for: MyTodo.self, configurations: configuration) } catch { fatalError("Failed to load model container.\(error)") } is throwing this error message: Fatal error: Failed to load model container.SwiftDataError(_error: SwiftData.SwiftDataError._Error.loadIssueModelContainer)

I am trying to release a beta version of an app for internal TestFlight testing but I keep getting a notification saying it has invalid binary. I have tried looking this up but I can't find anything that helps. Please help! If you need anything in addition to this, let me know. I just wasn't sure what to share.

When I upgraded the system to iOS 17.4 Beta, the AppEnum in my code became invalid. I selected an AppEnum option on the desktop widget, but the widget did not synchronize.
