The entitlements file looks okay. Remember, the vendor ID is a decimal number. I suggest that you install your app and driver on a Mac. There are more tools available to debug with, and you can add code to explicitly load and unload the driver, while on iPadOS that process is completely automatic. Are you using the same version of iPadOS now as you were using with the working (development version) of the driver? One version of iPadOS didn't show the Driver toggle in Settings, I don't remember which.

You sent the same comment seven times, which probably nobody read. I'm not sure what the comments feature is for; new comments don't bump the visibility of a thread, and they're closed by default. You haven't said what sort of accessory your peripheral is. If it is mass storage, a microphone, a camera, a keyboard or a game controller, there is native support for such devices on iOS. If it is something else, you need some kind of custom software. On iPhone, (and on many models of iPad), you cannot use DriverKit, so your only recourse is EAP and making your device part of the MFi program.

short answer is yes. Longer answer is at this link: https://developer.apple.com/support/compare-memberships/

The area on the left in grey is called the "navigator" You've selected the Find navigator, and you expect to see files containing text containing "readNumber". You're searching in an area called "macOS" (selected using the popup underneath the search field. I don't know what that is - it isn't one of the pre-defined search scopes. I usually use "in Project" or "in Project & SDK". In addition, if you look at the bottom of the Find navigator, there's a file name filter. Your search doesn't find "readNumber" at all, so this doesn't make any difference here, but I have no idea where it is searching. Clear the file filter at the bottom and change the search scope to "project" and see if it works then. Also, select the Project navigator, expand the project view and post the screenshot - it should looks something like this if it doesn't, maybe we'll be able to help you out. Incidentally, clearly Xcode is finding something, because it built and ran your program. Also, if you're new to this, why are you building for both macOS and iOS? It would be easier to start with just one.

Hi. In future, please post error messages as text, not screen shots, they're a lot easier to view that way. Somehow you have almost every file in your target twice. If you're new to Xcode, this could be quite difficult to fix. If you don't want to go that route, open the target in Xcode, select the Build Phases tab, and check the Compile Sources, Link Binary With Libraries and Copy Bundle Resources phases. Remove any duplicate entries. You may find it helpful to create a new, minimal project in Xcode from its iOS app template, so that you can compare a working target with your own.

I suspect most folks who develop for their personal use are using Xcode, that's why you're not seeing much of a response. You can develop an app using a personal developer account and deploy it to your own phone. In Xcode, you select "automatic" signing under your own personal team. Xcode will put the app on your phone. It will work for a week I think before you need to build and deploy it again. I don't know how you handle this if the app is built and signed in some other workflow. But there is an Xcode menu item under its Window menu, called "Devices and Simulators". Your phone should show up there, if you've ever used it for development. There's a list of installed apps there, with a little "+" button underneath - you should be able to select your app built with third party tools and send it to your phone. If your phone doesn't show up in the list, build one of the template apps for iOS in Xcode, then plug your phone in and select it as a run destination. Xcode should prompt you to put your phone in developer mode. After you've done this, your phone should appear in the list of available Devices (even if it is only available over WiFi).

yes to splitting up views into smaller chunks. They can be easier to test that way. I've often pasted non-working code into Copilot and asked "why doesn't this compile?". LLMs are quite good a pointing out errant commas and the like, where a compiler will often give you an entirely logical, but useless error message (unless you write compilers for a living).

use the Reply feature for replies. No notifications are sent to watchers if you add a comment. How about changing the window's transparency? See https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/694837 (I haven't tried this, just kicking ideas around)

Have you considered using hide and unhide on the app instead? If you don't want the user to close the window, you could suppress the appearance of the close button using .windowDismissBehavior(.disabled) in macOS 15 and later.

look at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photokit instead of Xcode's built-in documentation. It gives you details of the two constituent frameworks, Photos and PhotosUI, for both languages. I can't find documentation for either in Xcode's documentation viewer, for any language.

I'd advise against this, but it depends on exactly what your requirements are. BLE connections are low power because the radio can turn when there is no data to transfer. A "connection" implies that the receiver and transmitter are tightly synchronized, but this synchronization falls apart if you push the connection interval out to 5 minutes. Usually, connection intervals are in the tens or hundreds of milliseconds range. Most types of connections aren't going to be maintained in the background - your app is competing with others for antenna time and energy from the battery. Radio connections are unreliable. You can't expect every transmission to arrive at the receiver intact, so using the phone to log data is likely to be disappointing, unless either: a. you don't care about the occasional missing sample, or b. you buffer samples on the logging device and upload historic data in a batch Lastly, advertising isn't a great way to log data with any temporal precision. The advertising device is usually something with a real time OS and nothing better to do, so it can send advertising packets at regular intervals. The scanning device, however, doesn't know when those advertising packets are being broadcast, so it will generally turn on its receiver at irregular intervals. Even if it were to keep its receiver on permanently, it doesn't know what channel to listen to (advertisements cycles through three different advertising channels). On top of that, you can't fit much data in a regular advertising packet. Extended advertising in BLE 5 allows for more efficient advertising of larger packets, but I don't know how much support for extended advertising is built into iOS and the various phone models. If I were trying to make a data logger, I'd log on the device and have an explicit, user-driven data download procedure from a foreground app. If you're more interested in status than logging, advertising might be an option. If your data requirements are low, and timing isn't critical - e.g. if you're monitoring temperature every 10 minutes, you might be able to leverage iBeacon technology.

can you log in in Safe Mode? (https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh21245/mac) If so, you might be able to access some crash reports and submit them with your bug report (they should be included with sysdiagnose). Inspecting those reports may give you a clue as to what is causing your Mac to crash on login.

works for me too. Xcode 16.2 (16C5032a) or Xcode 16.3 (16E140), macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 (24D81). Is your system preferred language English? I tried changing mine to German for a bit, but did not restart the Mac. It still worked as expected. When you tried it on another Mac, did you copy the app, or build it on the other Mac?

does this work for you - a stroke with a gradient? struct ContentView: View { var body: some View { let backgroundColor = Color(hue: 0.0, saturation: 0.0, brightness: 0.44) let foregroundColor = Color(hue: 0.0, saturation: 0.0, brightness: 0.33) let rimTop = Color(hue: 0.0, saturation: 0.0, brightness: 0.26) let rimBottom = Color(hue: 0.0, saturation: 0.0, brightness: 0.5) let gradient = LinearGradient(stops: [ Gradient.Stop(color: rimTop, location: 0.0), Gradient.Stop(color: rimTop, location: 0.40), Gradient.Stop(color: rimBottom, location: 0.6 ), Gradient.Stop(color: rimBottom, location: 1.0 ) ], startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom) ZStack { RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 40) .fill(backgroundColor) .frame(width:400, height: 300) Rectangle() .fill(.clear) .frame(width: 300, height: 50) .overlay { RoundedRectangle( cornerRadius: 20, style: .circular) .fill(foregroundColor) .stroke(gradient, lineWidth: 2) } } } }

They tell you on their web site. Okay, it is possible, it isn't very practical.
