Popped onto BBC Radio Bristol this morning to chat to John Darvall about where the data on your smartphone goes and if it's safe, following the news that Lord Mandelson has been ordered to turn over his personal phone to the government.

Delivery of CloudKit notifications looks broken in iOS 26.4

One of the core technologies and services of the platform does not work

And the best guidance Apple has to offer to developers is “file a FB and maybe we take a look. Make sure you generate lots of duplicate FBs because otherwise we will not take it seriously”

Okay then

#CloudKit #iCloud #APNS

CloudKit and APNS is the bane of my existence

I create a visible subscription for inserted CKRecords that should just work

The records are fine and arrive with a fetch

But simply no push in development environment is sent for them

Are there any known issues for CloudKit push notifications in development environment, or any recent known good debugging and inspection methods for what is really going on? I wish I had delivery log on server side, but no such thing.

I like how iCloud tells me something is synced, but it the data is a day old. It’s like mail telling me I have 30 unread emails, but none are unread.

Apple heeft persoonlijke gegevens van een iCloud+ gebruiker gedeeld met de FBI. De gebruiker zou doodsbedreigingen naar de partner van de FBI-baas hebben gestuurd via een verborgen e-mailadres.

Hide My Email no te hace invisible ante la ley 👀

Apple entregó al FBI la identidad real de un usuario que envió amenazas a la novia del director del FBI. Tenía 134 alias creados.

¿Confías en que tus datos están realmente protegidos?

#Apple #Privacidad #iCloud

Apples „E-Mail-Adresse verbergen” schützt weniger privat als gedacht: Auf Behördenanfrage gab Apple dem FBI Namen, echte iCloud-Adresse – und alle 134 Aliase eines Nutzers heraus.

Apple bewirbt das Feature damit, E-Mails „privat zu halten”. Gerichtliche Herausgaben sind möglich – aber die Datentiefe überrascht.

Wieder ein Argument für selbst betriebene, dezentrale Lösungen.

Apple hands over "Hide My Email" users to the FBI

A paid iCloud feature is intended to protect users' email addresses. However, data may still end up with authorities.
