Hi everyone, my Digital Services Act (DSA) status in App Store Connect has been “In Review” for over a week. Is this normal? The app is already available in 178 countries, but it can’t be released in the EU (my home market) solely because this DSA isn’t approved yet. How long did it take for you? Is there anything that helps speed up the DSA review? Thanks for any insights.

Installation has completed login is successful but after 30 secs it returns to login screen safe mode does the same. tried recovery mode and reinstalled. Still in the login loop. what are my choices now?

When I try to create a post in Apple Support Community, it forces me to create a new account (for some supersmart reason because my apple account is apparently not enough). In this process, I am required to pick a new username and choose my communications preferences. The next screen? 403 Forbidden Error page.

I'm concerned that the Apple Vision Pro is too costly for low-income developers to develop for. Any thoughts?

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?

Hi, I’ve recently installed the iOS 26 DB, and I’m experiencing heating issues on my iPhone. Is there a fix to this? Also, is it a bug or a feature, that I can’t remove certain sections in the Photos app rather than rearranging them. Pls lemme know. Thanks.

Hi all, Well Im about to publish an app for iOS and the process is almost done but I don't know how is it to publish the same for MacOS, I mean, I can generate the app file from my engine (Unity) and even run it, but from there what are the steps? do we need to pass this to Xcode too? if so please direct me to where its explained because I couldn't find it, thanks a lot for any help

Hey team, I have an app in CarPlay where i was pushing the CPNowPlayingTemplate as follows: self.interfaceController.pushTemplate(CPNowPlayingTemplate.shared(), animated: true) This used to work perfectly, but suddenly I have started to get this error NSInvalidArgumentException: Unsupported object <CPNowPlayingTemplate: 0x119a0b5c0> <identifier: 6EE4E5A9-B1FB-4341-A485-78D7DDEBD8D0, userInfo: (null), tabTitle: (null), tabImage: (null), showsTabBadge: 0> passed to pushTemplate:animated:completion:. Allowed classes: {( CPActionSheetTemplate, CPAlertTemplate, CPVoiceControlTemplate, CPTabBarTemplate, CPListTemplate, CPInformationTemplate, CPContactTemplate, CPMapTemplate, CPGridTemplate, CPSearchTemplate )} How is this possible? Even on Apple docs, it says to pushTemplate Refer https://aninterestingwebsite.com/download/files/CarPlay-Developer-Guide.pdf https://aninterestingwebsite.com/documentation/carplay/cpnowplayingtemplate/

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.

Hello everyone, I'm a 2nd-year Computer Science student who's excited to dive into iOS development, and I'd really appreciate some guidance from the experienced developers in this community. MY CURRENT BACKGROUND I have a solid foundation in programming fundamentals through my university coursework (data structures, algorithms, OOP concepts), and I'm familiar with general software development principles. However, iOS development is entirely new territory for me, and I want to make sure I start on the right foot. WHAT I'M LOOKING TO UNDERSTAND Learning Path & Technologies Should I start with UIKit or SwiftUI? I've heard conflicting opinions about this How important is it to learn Objective-C in 2025, or should I focus solely on Swift? Are there any foundational Apple frameworks I should prioritize learning early on? Roadmap & Structured Learning Is there a recommended roadmap or learning sequence I should follow? What skills/topics should I master before moving to more advanced concepts? Should I learn iOS development in a linear fashion, or is it better to learn as I build projects? Are there any official Apple learning paths or certifications worth pursuing? Common Mistakes to Avoid What are the most common pitfalls beginners face when starting iOS development? Are there any bad habits or patterns I should consciously avoid from day one? What misconceptions did you have as a beginner that you wish someone had corrected earlier? Project-Based Learning What types of projects would you recommend for someone at my level? Should I build several small apps or focus on one comprehensive project? At what point should I start contributing to open-source iOS projects? Best Practices & Design Patterns Which iOS-specific design patterns (MVC, MVVM, etc.) should I learn first? How can I develop good habits around memory management and app architecture from the beginning? What resources do you recommend for learning iOS best practices, not just syntax? Apple Ecosystem & Tools Beyond Xcode, what tools should be in my toolkit? How important is it to learn about TestFlight, Instruments, and other Apple developer tools early on? Should I get comfortable with CocoaPods/SPM from the start, or wait until I'm more experienced? MY GOALS My goal is to build a solid foundation over the next 6-8 months, create a few portfolio-worthy apps and pursuing iOS development as a career path after graduation. SPECIFIC QUESTIONS How many hours per week would you recommend dedicating to learning iOS development while managing university coursework? What's the best way to stay updated with Apple's annual changes and new frameworks? When should I start thinking about publishing apps to the App Store? Are there any mentorship programs or communities specifically for beginner iOS developers you'd recommend? I know this is a lot of questions, but I genuinely want to learn the right way rather than picking up bad habits I'll have to unlearn later. Any advice, resources, or personal experiences you're willing to share would be incredibly valuable to me. Thank you in advance for taking the time to help a beginner. I'm committed to putting in the work and learning properly!

Problem description: Connected to a Sharp 8TC60DWTX (8K) display, but unable to select 4K resolution Setup Condition Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch M4 Max Sharp 8TC60DWTX (8K) 3.Duplicate Procedure After connecting to 8K MNT and select 4K solution, it still display as 8K. Vendor analysis: 8K60 shows no image; switching to 30 Hz works normally → After analysis, we found that the 8K60 timing output from the MacBook is incorrect. The horizontal blanking (H-CBlanking) is too small to accommodate the audio data, so the RTD2191E does not output video to the monitor. → This issue does not occur on Windows platforms, confirming that this is a host-side issue.

HiIm currently on iOS 11 Beta 2 (Build 15A5304i) With Update 1 Build 15A5304j just been released, will there be any difference since last weeks release?I can't update OTA to the new build released today.ThanksBarry

Issue in now mode in console Reproduce steps: open /private/var/log/com.apple.xpc.launchd/launchd.log in console app click now to enable it wait for system to write some to the log. instead of tailling log, it comes to the start of log. I have filed a bug 3 months back FB16849784 it is not resolved yet.

The first Beta install stopped recognizing a Yamaha USB audio interface. The next two installs brought the recognition back. The last Beta install doesn't recognize the interface completely. The midi implementation works but the audio implementation isn't recognized in Audio/Midi setup. This might be something to look at in the next Beta release or something audio interface venders should look at in their next driver release.

When I updated IOS 26.1, When someone call me over voice call phone kept vibrating after call has been picked for 15 sec. Can you please check what’s the issue

Hello, I recently submitted my Swift Student Challenge app playground and realized after submission that I accidentally selected Swift Playgrounds as the software to run it, instead of Xcode 26 or later. My project builds and runs successfully in Xcode 26 using the iOS 26 SDK and simulator. However, when opening the same .swiftpm project in the Swift Playgrounds app on iPad, it does not compile because Swift Playgrounds currently only supports up to iOS 18 SDK and does not support iOS 26 APIs. The submission itself is complete, builds correctly in Xcode, and was submitted before the deadline. The incorrect selection of Swift Playgrounds was an honest mistake during the submission process. I wanted to ask whether reviewers are able to run the submission using Xcode 26 in cases like this, or if there is anything I should do. Thank you very much for your time.

Area: Software Update Type of Feedback: Application Bug Description Device: iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 26 Build environment: Xcode 16.4 Problem description: When a text field has secureTextEntry = YES and Password Autofill / Passkeys is active, the autofill panel is not included in the rect reported from the keyboard notifications (UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey or others). As a result, when calculating the offset to move the screen up and reveal the hidden input field, the field is not displayed correctly because the reported keyboard height is smaller than the actual visible height. Observed behavior: This only occurs on devices running iOS 26 built with Xcode 16.4. On previous versions of iOS, with the same settings (secureTextEntry and Autofill active), the rect correctly includes the autofill panel height, and the UI works as expected. I tested with both UIKeyboardDidShowNotification and UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification, and in both cases the behavior is the same: the height is incorrect (smaller than expected with the autofill panel). What I expect / questions: That UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey (or the related notification) correctly reports the total area covered by the keyboard, including any password autofill panel, when secureTextEntry is active. That the new behavior in iOS 26 be documented if this omission is intentional, or otherwise considered a bug if it is not. If there is any official workaround suggested by Apple for developers affected by this issue while a fix is provided. Thank you for your support.

I am building my app for iPhone users generally, and realized that maybe I should have had the iPad in mind since I read somewhere that the submissions will be judged on iPad. Should I be testing and tweaking on iPad now or can it be somehow ran on iPhone?

Hi , since I've been trying out this latest beta, my battery life has dropped dramatically. I have an iPhone 16 Pro. It doesn't last until the evening. I didn't have any problems with version 4 before. Thanks
