Environment
iOS Version: 26.4 Beta (Build 17E5170d)
Xcode Version: 26.4 Beta
Framework: AccessoryNotifications, AccessoryTransportExtension
Description
When implementing AccessoryNotifications.NotificationsForwarding.AccessoryNotificationsHandler, I'm unable to retrieve the URL for sourceIcon from AccessoryNotification.
The file.url property throws AccessoryError error 0 with the message "unable to get file URL".
Code Sample
func add(
notification: AccessoryNotification,
alertingContext: AlertingContext,
alertCoordinator: any AlertCoordinating
) {
Task {
if let sourceIcon = notification.sourceIcon {
do {
let url = try await sourceIcon.url // Throws AccessoryError error 0
let data = try Data(contentsOf: url)
// Process icon data...
} catch {
print("Failed to get sourceIcon URL: (error)")
// Error: The operation couldn't be completed.
// (AccessoryNotifications.AccessoryError error 0.)
}
}
}
}
Observed Behavior
The sourceIcon property is present and its type is correctly reported as public.image:
│ sourceIcon : present
│ type.identifier : public.image
│ type.description : image
│ url : (error: The operation couldn't be completed.
(AccessoryNotifications.AccessoryError error 0.))
Error details:
Error: customError(message: "unable to get file URL")
Type: AccessoryError
Code: 0
Expected Behavior
The file.url property should return a valid URL that allows reading the source icon image data, or the documentation should clarify any limitations or prerequisites for
accessing this resource.
Questions
Is this a known limitation in the current beta?
Are there additional entitlements or permissions required to access sourceIcon.url?
Is there an alternative API to retrieve the actual image data for sourceIcon?
Additional Context
The same error occurs when accessing url in both describeNotification (debug logging) and sendAttachment methods
contextIcon is typically nil for the notifications tested (e.g., WeChat messages)
The notification metadata (title, body, actions, etc.) is correctly received
