Prompt Preview

Apply after Swift 6.4 to iPhone/iPad apps built with Xcode 27's iOS/iPadOS 27 SDK. Checked against stable 27.0. Apply optional framework rules when used; check deployment-target availability.

SDK and hardening

  • Build with stable Xcode 27: Swift 6.4, macOS Tahoe 26.6+ required. Distinguish iOS/iPadOS 15–27 deployment from 17+ device/simulator support; retain compatible tests for older supported OSes.
  • Set runtime-update policy separately: SDK 27 cannot fix older-device WebKit, Authentication Services, system components. Assess Apple OS security updates before retaining old deployment minimums.
  • Adopt compatible Enhanced Security capabilities; test native dependencies with them enabled. Preserve entitlement dependencies; review ENABLE_POINTER_AUTHENTICATION, typed allocation, runtime restrictions instead of disabling protection to suppress crashes.
  • Test Hardware Memory Tagging on supported devices; remove com.apple.security.hardened-process.checked-allocations.soft-mode before relying on termination. Soft mode reports simulated crashes; unsupported hardware ignores it.
  • Enable Memory Integrity Enforcement before HARDWARE_CHECKED_POINTER_ARITHMETIC_SLICE across targets/dependencies. Test arm64e.x1 physically; simulators cannot exercise it. Xcode 27/macOS 26.6 automatic-signing uploads have a documented failure: sign manually or distribute from macOS 27.

Authentication

  • Sign in with ASWebAuthenticationSession, never collect web credentials in app-controlled WKWebView. Use OAuth code flow/PKCE S256; bind responses to initiating transactions,
