I have filed 27 bug reports against macOS using Feedback Assistant and none have had any sort of follow-up. I'm wondering if anyone at Apple looks at these reports? A few of these involve accessibility features that are not working (for example: speak announcements doesn't work -- and yes, my feedback is much more detailed than "doesn't work"). I would have thought issues with accessibility would be a high priority for Apple to fix quickly. Another report is that Grapher uses black text on dark gray making it very difficult to see the formula you enter. This should be a one-line code fix. These two, and 25 other bug reports have seemingly been ignored. Several of these reports indicate more than 10 similar reports, yet go unfixed. Leading me back to my opening question -- does anyone at Apple read these reports? I'd like to think I'm helping Apple to deliver a more perfect product but I feel like I'm wasting my time writing detailed bug reports. Is there another way to bring these to Apple's attention?

noticed that when I use PHPickerViewController in iOS26, preselectedAssetIdentifiers not working. It doesn't pre-select an image. This is the code snapshot how I use it with UIViewControllerRepresentable Same code works in iOS18 but not iOS26 func makeUIViewController(context: Context) -> UIViewController { var configuration = PHPickerConfiguration(photoLibrary: PHPhotoLibrary.shared()) configuration.filter = .images configuration.selectionLimit = 5 configuration.preselectedAssetIdentifiers = ["some id from previous selected results"] let imagePicker = PHPickerViewController.init(configuration: configuration) imagePicker.delegate = context.coordinator return imagePicker }

This is a generic, non-developer related macOS issue, but reporting here as well so it has more visibility since. It is an embarrassing bug that has not been fixed since the earliest versions of macOS Tahoe. Issue description: When Dock Magnification is enabled, the Dock Folder abruptly jumps approx. 10-15pixels down as the user moves the cursor after a brief pause). Video about the issue (see the last second of the small video and observe the entire grid popup jump abruptly): https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-tahoe-26-4-release-candidate-now-available.2479503/post-34494643 Related FB: FB20761846 (opened in October, 2025) The issue is easily reproducible and confirmed by many. The lack of this issue being fixed for so long is indicative in the eyes of many of the lack of attention to details in macOS Tahoe's Glass interface.

My iphone freezes during the night, having the alarm not go off, me miss important things as I oversleep. And the phone needs to go thru hard reboot to get back to normal. It´s only been happening after I started using "Downtime". (An underdeveloped feature by Apple in the first place). I love locking my apps down nighttime for less screentime. Annoyingly it only happens once in a while, so I´m not able to link it directly to downtime consistently. I´m not developing an app right now so I´m steep ground with this post, but, with lack of sleep as this has messed up my sleep rythm several times, well I´m not able too anyway. I know ios well, and there isn´t much "to do" except having to always remember to turn off downtime (it doesn´t play well with shortcuts app either), but I hope someone from apple sees this and is able to push this bug into the right team as all reports I have seen goes on focus modes bugs, but not "downtime".

I have an app with multiple Windows, but hardly any "input" field. I want to control certain stuff via Menu (FocusedValues / FocusedKeyValue)... first I thought: this does not work at all... then I figured: If I write in a text field something.. then the focus is clear and the proper windows is targeted.. Just bringing the other window to focus (no edit nothing, just clicking on the window header) does not seem to trigger "hey.. I'm the focus now"... anyone experiencing the same? could I "fake" that? thinking of putting a very small text field so when I focus a windows, I could like, don't know: focus that input field such that the menu command realises: ah.. here's the windows I need to talk to...

Hey there! Faced a strange problem. We're a board game publisher, not quite experienced in publishing digital applications. However one of our games needs a digital app that already exists in AppStore. It is not possible to localize it ro our language, so we agreed with Rights Owners that we will develop the localized version ourselves and publish it in Store. The localized App is quite different from the original one: not only language, but a whole new part of the game exists. However Apple keeps declining our App considering it a spam. We tried everything to put that into consideration, but got nothing. Any lifehacks how to get this going? Is there anything they look at in particular, any tips what can we change quickly to finally publish the App?

Has anyone been able to raise a ticket with the support team in the past 48 hours without getting an infinite loader or error on the page?

On one of my machines (new MacMini M4Pro) I can’t add any new VPN configuration, doesn’t matter what I use. Trying to set up Tailscale, I get to the point where Tailscale brings up the "Allow VPN configuration" panel. If I hit the "Allow VPN Configuration" button, then macOS pops up its own panel: "Tailscale" Would Like to Add VPN Configurations All network activity on this Mac may be filtered or monitored when using VPN. [Allow] [Don’t Allow] I hit the allow button, and after a short wait the Tailscale panel shows in red "You must allow this to use Tailscale". I can repeat this as often as I want, but Tailscale isn’t added to the VPN configurations. If I use any other third party VPN app, I get similar results: nothing gets added to the VPN configurations. If I use macOS’s System Settings and hit the "Add VPN Configuration" pop-up menu in the VPN section, and e.g. add an IKEv2 setup, it ask me to authenticate, and then provides me with the panel into which to put the relevant settings. I enter some test settings, and then hit the [Create] button... …and nothing! The new VPN configuration doesn’t show up in the list, where it should show up. It’s as if I had done nothing. No matter what I do, the VPN configurations are immutable. I suspect that some folder somewhere is either missing or for some reason has the wrong permissions. Where are these VPN configurations stored? Any other hints on how to fix this? Reinstalling the OS does’t fix this, since this issue persisted across various betas of macOS26

Hi everyone, We're facing an issue with Universal Links on iOS 18 and above. The problem seems related to how iOS handles redirects before reaching a Universal Link. ✅ Working Link (direct): When we open this direct Universal Link, the app opens as expected: 👉 https://dl.punchh.com/deeplinks/logansroadhouse/ ❌ Not Working (redirected link): This marketing/tracking link eventually redirects to the above Universal Link, but on iOS 18+, it opens the App Store or a browser instead of the app: 👉 https://ip2.loyalty.logansroadhouse.com/ls/click?upn=... The same redirect link works fine on iOS 17 and below — it opens the app.

Apps should all be free then cost money after you play them like fortnite is free but is really popular and make a lot of money so other apps should be like that and have in game purchases to

I have received this installation error attempting to upgrade from MacOS 26.4 beta 2 to beta 3 on my Intel 2020 27” iMac, and now trying to install beta 4 from beta 3 on my M1 Max MBP. I have seen from a sprinkling of post that some others have had the same issue. I was able to successfully perform the 2 to 3 upgrade on the iMac in safe boot, suggesting possible compatible, third-party app. But that did not work for beta 4 on either device. I have submitted feedback for each episode. Any others have this issue? Unusual for Apple, I have never had any issues installing beta software before.

We're sending the spcData payload to our fairplay key server (version 5.1) with the base64 encoded string of our fairPlay.cer that was downloaded from our developer portal and we're getting a spcVersionErr (-42580) for the spc version. The value that is being received by the key server seems to be 813827283 when it should be either 1 (base_constants.SPCVersion.v1.rawValue) or 2 (base_constant.SPCVersion.v2.rawValue). We're assuming we're encoding the fairplay.cer incorrectly. Any insight from anybody would be appreciated.

Curious what backend others are choosing these days. I am building a vocabulary app and exploring which backend would be a good fit. Considering options like CloudKit, Firebase, Supabase, AWS Amplify, custom servers, or a combination. What are you using and what made you choose it?

Good morning, Apple devs. I'm looking for resources and help designing a BLE hardware peripheral that is compatible with iOS and iPad. I've seen the MFi program, but I've also seen plenty of peripheral devices that work with iOS and iPad that are not listed in the MFi compatibility lists. Can anyone refer me to the proper channels to get support for development of a hardware device? Thank you.

I recently got a new iPhone for my mom so that she could have Assistive Access due to her declining cognitive health. I selected the family members she calls the most as her favorites, but when attempting to call some of said family members (myself included), nothing happens. It works for about half the contacts, and not for the other half. I’m her main caregiver so it’s pretty ironic that I’m one of the ones it doesn’t work with. I’ve tried exiting and re-entering Assistive Access, deleting and re-adding all the contacts, restarting the phone, force-restarting the phone, and checking if the iOS is the most recent update (it is). Nothing works. Please help.
