Developer Enrollment - Bug.
Hi everyone, We're hoping someone here can help us out. We've run into a consistent issue when trying to enroll a new Apple Developer account as an organisation using our DUNS number. Here's what we've experienced: Individual enrollment through the Developer app works perfectly with a new Apple ID. However, when using an existing Apple ID and selecting organization enrollment, the process gets stuck: The payment button is greyed out in the Developer app. We're then locked out of enrolling through the app entirely. 4. When trying to complete the enrollment via the Developer website, there’s no valid payment method available (e.g., VISA option missing CVV field), and any attempts to proceed just loop without success. We're essentially stuck in a limbo state where we can’t proceed. We’ve gone through all the support channels: The automated assistant (Gaby) is unable to resolve the issue or understand the full context. Live chat support for both individual and business accounts told us they can’t assist and referred us back to the developer support system—which leads us back to square one. All members of our team were able to enroll individually without issue, but organisation enrollment consistently failed. Business support and Commercial support (spoken to supervisors) are unable to assist. They really tried and made an effort. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a way to get in touch with a real person at Apple who can actually resolve this? What are our next steps? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Question About CarPlay Certification When Using Custom Wiring Harness
Hello developers, My question isn't directly related to app or software development, but this seems to be the most appropriate channel to possibly find the information I need. Context I work for an automotive company and I'm currently looking for Apple CarPlay certification guidelines. We're in the process of installing a multimedia system in a vehicle. The most viable solution would be to use the multimedia unit and microphone provided by our supplier, but with a custom wiring harness developed by our company to simplify the installation process. The multimedia unit, microphone, and the supplier’s harness are already certified for CarPlay. Question Would using our company’s custom wiring harness affect the existing CarPlay certification of the supplier’s product? Any information, contact, or suggestion on where I could find official guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

iPhone 13 Pro not charging or recognized via USB-C after iOS 26 update (works in DFU mode)
Hi everyone, Since updating my iPhone 13 Pro to iOS 26, the device stopped charging and is not recognized by my Mac when connected via USB-C to Lightning cable. I’ve run extensive diagnostics: • Tried multiple USB-C cables and ports on the Mac — all work with other iPhones and devices. • The iPhone charges fine using a wall charger. • It also works perfectly with USB-A to Lightning cables — charges and appears in Finder. • I performed a full DFU restore and downgrade to iOS 18, without restoring from backup — the issue persists. • Interestingly, the iPhone is detected by the Mac in DFU mode via USB-C, which suggests the USB-C port is physically fine. This leads me to believe the issue is with the USB-C stack in normal iOS runtime, possibly triggered or corrupted by the iOS 26 update. It’s not hardware-related, as data and power lines work in DFU, and USB-A connections work normally. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way to fully reset or reflash the USB-C firmware at a lower level than DFU? Or does this require AST2-level diagnostics from Apple? Thanks in advance!

How to Keep Live Activity in Expanded Dynamic Island State (ActivityKit, iOS 17+)
I'm building a Live Activity using ActivityKit in iOS, and I'm trying to understand how apps like Uber or Lyft manage to keep the Dynamic Island always in its expanded state, without transitioning through the compact phase. In my implementation, the Live Activity always starts in the compact state, and only expands temporarily when I interact with it. I've tried the following: Updating the ContentState frequently using activity.update(using:) I tried updating the activity every 1 second, but it didn’t make a difference. Leaving the compactLeading, compactTrailing, and minimal regions empty using EmptyView() — also didn’t change the behavior. Delaying the initial update by 1 second — no effect. What I'm trying to figure out: Is there any way to programmatically force or request the Dynamic Island to stay in the expanded state? Could this behavior be achieved through push updates, using apns-push-type: liveactivity and a high priority (apns-priority)? What I’m trying to achieve is similar to the behavior shown in the images below — the apps do not transition to the compact island, but instead displays the expanded view immediately. Example:

How can I create a shortcut to toggle macro control in iPhone settings?
I’d like to create a button on my iPhone Home Screen that changes settings if I am using an external lens mounted to my phone. This is what I have along with notes on what I hope to do. But it does not work. I am only able to open either the camera settings or the camera preserve settings but nothing will toggle macro controls. There is an additional step within the camera app as well but it can be skipped for brevity. Name: Telephoto and macro lenses Check if macro settings are already enabled or not. (Settings > Camera > Macro Control toggle) as well as (Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings > Macro Control toggle) Non-working shortcut code: Verification question: "Are you using an external lens?" If yes, Notification: "Turning on Macro Control and preserve settings for macro control." (Run below immediately) prefs:root=CAMERA&path=Turn%20On%20Macro_Control And prefs:root=CAMERA&path=CameraPreserveSettingsSwitch&path=Turn%20On%20Macro_Control If no, Notification: "Turning off Macro Control and Preserve Settings for macro control." (Run below immediately) prefs:root=CAMERA&path=Turn%20Off%20Macro_Control And prefs:root=CAMERA&path=CameraPreserveSettingsSwitch&path=Turn%20Off%20Macro_Control

How to hide moreNavigationController in SwiftUI?
I have more than five tabs in a TabView, and on some screens, I'm seeing a navigation bar with the title "More". I understand that this is the default behavior of TabView when there are more than five tabs—iOS automatically creates a "More" screen. I've set navigationBarHidden = true throughout my app, but the navigation bar still appears on some screens within the "More" section. Is there another way to hide the moreNavigationController or completely remove the navigation bar from the "More" screen?

iOS18, certificates, mail app and domain
I'm totally baffled by the changes Apple made on iOS18 about certificates usage in the built-in mail application. They decided that self-signed are not accepted any more, fine. As long as you can install your own root CA and trust it, it should be fine. But NO! They have also decided that mail will only accept IMAP servers using a domain name, no more just and IP address. So you can't get any IP-based certificate that will be accepted by the mail app, even with the right SAN and al. I've tried two "identical" certs, one with a domain and one with an IP and the domain works while the IP fails, being rejected as non-valid by the app. The most funny part is that the IP cert is good enough to configure mail (can see the successful login), but is being rejected when reading emails. I'm really fed up with the "Apple police" that wants to push us not using our own storage anymore. My se case is simple, I have an IMAP server that is used by family to archive all emails and keep them organized, saved forever and away from being scanned. I need to access that server either when locally connected or through VPN. For VPN, I use split tunnels because I don't want all traffic to go to tunnel. Nor do I want to create my own local DNS server and have all VPN clients use such DNS server only for the sake of having a domain name for the IMAP server. Nor do I want to open an external port to redirect to my IMAP server (that works of course as then I can use DDNS ...). Talk about increased security! This is insane

No such module 'UnityFramework' ,Getting this message updating Xcode to latest version
After the update of the Xcode to latest version, I’m getting “No Such Module Unity Framework” as error. the complete information is below. I had to update the Xcode and the O.S as per the Apple Requirement from my older version of 14.x to latest 16.3. I had no issued running the Unity within my iOS App till the recent update. Previous Setup: Unity was successfully integrated into this iOS app and running fine before the update. As it was working till the Xcode version 14.3, i have not changed any code relevant to Unity. What I’ve Tried: a. Added UnityFramework.framework to “Link Binary with Libraries” and marked it as “Embed & Sign”. b. Verified Framework Search Paths include $(PROJECT_DIR)/UnityProject/build/Debug-iphoneos c. Cleaned build folder, deleted Derived Data d. Checked [CP] Embed Pods Frameworks step in Build Phases Stuck On: Xcode still throws "No such module 'UnityFramework'" — it’s as if the framework isn’t being built or seen from my main project. Request for Help: Has anyone encountered this issue post-Xcode 16.3 update from 14.x. I’d really appreciate any guidance, updated workflows, or even a checklist of steps for properly integrating Unity into an existing iOS app with the new Xcode build system.

Questions about BLE broadcasting in version 26
After upgrading to iOS system 26, the local name broadcast type is 08, but before upgrading, it is 09 and will be included in the scan resp message; In version 26, the scan resp will also include Manufacturer Specific Data. Before the upgrade, the broadcast message may not necessarily include Manufacturer Specific Data; What I want to ask is, are there any restrictions on Bluetooth broadcasting in version 26? Is it necessary to include Manufacturer Specific Data data? If Manufacturer Specific Data data is included, it may cause fields in the local name broadcast to be truncated and use simple names of type 08

From iOS 26Beta1, iOS 26Beta1.1 to iOS 26Beta2. I couldn't log in to the Feedback App for 4 weeks. It kept prompting BUGs and asked me to log in to Feedback. However, the problem was that I couldn't log in to Feedback. So the problem kept repeating. Apple didn't receive any feedback, so Apple thought this was the most successful version in the history of iOS because it didn't receive any feedback.

Severe battery drain on Apple Watch SE2 after updating to watchOS 26.0 beta
I am writing to report a significant battery drain issue after updating my Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) to watchOS 26.0 beta. Since the update, my watch’s battery life has drastically decreased: it goes from 100% to 0% in just 6 hours, whereas previously, under my typical usage, a single charge would last about 1.5 days. I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps without success: 1. Performed a fresh reset of the watch. 2. Reset my iPhone. 3. Disabled background app activity. 4. Enabled airplane mode and power saving mode. 5. Disabled Live Activities and Photo Memories Despite these measures, the issue persists. The battery health of my watch is at 90%, so I believe this is likely related to the software update. I am quite concerned about this situation. I have researched and noticed that similar battery drain problems were reported by beta testers of watchOS 11, and unfortunately, there appeared to be no clear resolution at that time. I rely on my Apple Watch daily, and I sincerely hope this can be addressed soon. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue, as it is significantly affecting the usability of my Apple Watch. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Updated my Apple Watch to watchOS 26 beta to test it — can't pair it now after downgrading iPhone
Hi everyone, I updated my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26 beta and my Apple Watch to watchOS 26 beta because I wanted to test out the new features. After a few days of testing, I found the iOS 26 beta too unstable and laggy for daily use, so I downgraded my iPhone back to iOS 18.5 stable. Now my Apple Watch is still running watchOS 26 beta. I tried resetting it to factory settings, hoping that would help, but now I can’t pair it back to my iPhone because it requires iOS 26 again — which I don’t want to reinstall and don't want to use it till it's stable. Is there any way to downgrade my Apple Watch back to a stable version or somehow pair it again with my iPhone running iOS 18.5? Thanks in advance for any help!
