This is purely speculation (but I have reason to believe it is the case) because I'm trying to narrow it down but, has anyone reported CarPlay in iOS 26 Beta potentially crashing vehicle infotainment systems? I have a 2025 Jeep Wrangler which is running UConnect 5. I can't prove it is the case but since updating to IOS 26 PB, I've been noticing that my infotainment system in my vehicle has been freezing, locking up, and resetting upon boot. I can't narrow this down to the phone causing it, but I can't rule it out as of now. I know that most of our infotainment units that offer CarPlay are typically running off Android, but is there a possibility that the iOS Beta is crashing our infotainment units upon connection? Again, I am just posting this to see if a) anyone can confirm that yes CarPlay can crash the Android backend of infotainment units or b) if anyone has experienced odd issues with CarPlay and their vehicle's infotainment system either freezing, crashing, or rebooting since installing iOS Beta 26. It happens when the iPhone is connected wirelessly via CarPlay, and I believe also when it is connected wired via CarPlay.

Yo i installed IOS 26 Beta to see how it is, and I want it to downgrade but Checking for Updates are unavailable and my iPhone 14 Pro is lagging i have 20-30 fps or something like that. And these Icons don’t wanna talk about it 🙏

Using a 2014 MacBook Pro, I have a Sandisk SD card, it won't mount, I cannot format. Suggestions?

Hi everyone 👋, I’m new to the Apple Developer Forums and just getting started with building apps for iOS/macOS. I’ve explored the documentation but wanted to introduce myself and ask for some advice from experienced developers. Currently working on: An iOS app using SwiftUI Learning more about integrating Sign in with Apple Exploring best practices for App Store submission Here’s what I’d like to know: What is the recommended approach to saving minimal app state before termination? Are there SwiftUI lifecycle metho18336114753ds or SceneDelegate hooks I should be aware of? Is UserDefaults the best tool for small state preservation in this context? Would love to hear from anyone who’s implemented sim18336114753ilar behavior — even a high-level suggestion would help. Thanks! Harjeet Singh

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

Hi all, I’m running into a persistent build issue with my Swift project ORSOFINAL after migrating from Xcode stable to Xcode-beta.app (June 2025 version). ⸻ 💥 Errors displayed: 1. C99 was enabled in PCH file but is currently disabled 2. module file .../ModuleCache.noindex/SwiftShims-AXUM98L131W4...pcm cannot be loaded due to a configuration mismatch with the current compilation 3. missing required module 'SwiftShims' ⸻ 🛠 What I’ve already tried: • xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer • Deleted ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData, ModuleCache.noindex, Archives, and Products • Ran sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch • Clean Build Folder in Xcode-beta • Verified Command Line Tools setting points to Xcode-beta ⸻ ❓Looking for guidance on: • Whether this is a known bug in Xcode-beta • If SwiftShims/PCM conflicts are expected between versions • Best practices to safely migrate from Xcode stable to beta for Swift-based projects Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks, Mathéo

In iOS 26 the pitch of the sound of the keyboard clicks changes when you type faster. And the haptics have a more buttery feeling to them. Is this a bug and will be fixed. Or is this a new feature ?

Today I updated to iOS 26 and after changing to clear mode nothing happens, the icons remain a solid color, everything remains a solid color, nothing is transparent.

We plan to use signals emitted from iBeacon to perform region detection in an app currently under development. We would like to know if region detection (didEnterRegion) can be performed when the app is in certain states. Region detection must be performed reliably. Is it possible to perform region detection in all of the following situations? • When the app is in the foreground • When the app is in the background • When the app is force-closed • When the smartphone is in sleep mode • When the smartphone is restarted Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

I Downloaded new beta 7 iOS 26 update and i have issues with my iPhone 15 pro

I’m facing a persistent issue where WhatsApp crashes within a few seconds of opening. This started around 5–6 days ago. It was working perfectly for over a year before that. Device and App Details: • iPhone model: iPhone 15 Pro Max] • iOS version: iOS 18.4 • WhatsApp version: 25.10.72 • Available storage: 108 GB free out of 256 GB • WhatsApp size in storage: 5.8 GB Troubleshooting Steps Already Tried: 1. Updated iOS to the latest version. 2. Uninstalled and reinstalled WhatsApp from the App Store. 3. Performed a iPhone resetting. 4. Checked for app updates – none available. 5. Disabled background app refresh and notifications. 6. Tried using both Wi-Fi and mobile data. 7. Ensured iPhone has sufficient free space. 8. Did not restore from iCloud/WhatsApp backup after reinstall (even tried clean install). Despite all this, the app crashes within seconds after launching. No other apps are affected. Additional Observations: • Issue started suddenly without any changes in device usage or settings. • iPhone does not overheat or lag otherwise. This may be a compatibility bug with iOS or something related to WhatsApp’s recent internal behavior. Kindly advise or escalate for investigation.

Hi all, I’m trying to add a file to a game on my iPhone via my MacBook. Now we have no iTunes connecting with the cable brings up the same menus however I’m being told I have to reset my iPhone back to factory settings to do this (see attached). I’m on IOS26 beta 6. A couple of questions I’ve backed up via iCloud, if I reset would I be able to reset it right back to my current set up with the beta, would I lose anything? Is there another way to connect to my MacBook to enable access to the games and files that would allow me to do a minor change without having to reset?

Hello, can someone invite me to TestFlight ?

Hi Ed Ford, thank you for your response. I tried to reply directly in the forum with the requested output, but I keep receiving an error message ("Your post couldn’t be saved. Please try again in a few minutes."). It seems I cannot currently post a follow-up reply. Just to notify you: I ran the command you suggested, but my shell reports zsh: command not found: devicectl. Thank you!

The camera/microphone usage light comes on whenever I switch apps. The only thing it shows when I try to see what app is accessing the camera or microphone is What it’s accessin: Camera and the app that is accessing Camera is the Camera app… shouldn’t it show the process or app that is using the Camera app to access the camera?

Hello :-) I‘m not entirely sure, if I‘m on the correct Place here. But I would like to report a Bug with tvOS 18.3 (latest beta) to the Apple Engineers! When maximizing an app, a clear color jump occurs. The home screen is more colorful than the open app! You can easily force this: open an app, e.g. the App Store back to the home screen open the app again now you can see a color jump of the GUI!!! The color becomes paler when the app is open. On the home screen it is more colorful again! The problem occurs with every app! So it is a global tvOS Bug! I can also send an example video if that's helpful! Best regards, Christian :-)

I have created an app and for the final stage i added subscription feature. This works great in testflight, but not when i push out to external testers. I set up what i needed to in apple store connect (i must have done it right as it works in testflight), and i linked it to th emost recent version. Nothing I do seems to get the sub info to display and pull through to the app in the sub box when selected. No price and the usual stuff. I was told send for review. Failed the review and im working on that but something tell sme this is a glitch athat needs fixed on my account maybe. Can anyone help please

Hi! About a month ago (somewhere around the release of iOS 18.4.1 and MacOS 15.4.1) I started having issues with the iPhone Mirroring app, saying that it's unable to connect to iPhone, although it worked seamlessly before. In error console log I see this chain of events: error 19:00:51.054054+0200 iPhone Mirroring unable to get entitlements for client task. Error: nil error 19:00:51.054074+0200 iPhone Mirroring AppleEvent sender is not entitled error 19:00:51.098453+0200 iPhone Mirroring Tearing down the session due to: noCompatiblePhone error 19:00:51.139329+0200 iPhone Mirroring CAML error:727: No such class `LKEventHandler' error 19:00:51.139342+0200 iPhone Mirroring CAML error:727: Unknown value element `LKEventHandler' error 19:00:51.139349+0200 iPhone Mirroring CAML error:727: `o' element must have `type' attribute I tried literally every solution I could find, including deleting all possible preferences, but to no avail. It also might be worth mentioning that since these issues started, I can't AirPlay from my iPhone to my Mac unless I switch the "Allow Airplay for" option to either "Anyone on the same network" or "Everyone". Can anyone tell me if this may be something connected to those latest updates, or is there anything else I can try on my end? Thanks in advance!

I'm a Beta user for iOS 26. I update my iPhone whenever there is an update. The issue that I found out is, "my Microphone is ON the whole day & night (24 x 7 - There is an orange dot in my dynamic island area), which is also draining my battery faster. The overall performance has also come down. I gave microphone permission to only 3-4 apps (i.e. WhatsApp, WhatsApp Business, Alexa etc.), so there is no problem in the settings. I'm attaching one image here, which shows that iPhone is cont. using my mic.
