Sehr geehrtes Apple-Team, ich bin seit mehreren Jahren aktiver Teilnehmer am Public Beta-Programm und habe in dieser Zeit zahlreiche Feedbackmeldungen über die Feedback Assistant App eingereicht – teils mit ausführlicher Fehlerbeschreibung, Screenshots oder systematischer Reproduktionshilfe. Leider bleibt bei mir als Nutzer der Eindruck zurück, dass dieses Feedback ins Leere läuft. Viele meiner Meldungen stehen seit Jahren im Status „Offen“, ohne jegliche Rückmeldung oder sichtbare Bearbeitung. Auch wenn mir bewusst ist, dass eine individuelle Antwort nicht vorgesehen ist, fehlt mir zumindest eine Bestätigung, dass das Feedback angekommen ist, bewertet wurde oder an die zuständige Stelle weitergeleitet wurde. Ich wünsche mir als engagierter Tester mehr Transparenz im Umgang mit unseren Rückmeldungen – sei es durch eine automatische Eingangsbestätigung, eine grobe Statusanzeige (z. B. „dupliziert“, „weitergeleitet“, „behoben in Version XY“) oder gelegentliche Hinweise, wie viele Probleme durch die Community-Beiträge erkannt und gelöst wurden. Diese kleine Form der Anerkennung würde die Motivation vieler freiwilliger Tester stärken und das Vertrauen in den Prozess erhöhen. So wie es derzeit gestaltet ist, entsteht eher das Gegenteil: Frustration, Zweifel am Nutzen des Feedbacks und damit auch weniger Bereitschaft, zukünftige Probleme zu melden. Ich hoffe sehr, dass Sie diese Anregung intern weitergeben – auch im Sinne der langfristigen Qualitätssicherung Ihrer Software. Vielen Dank. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Dear Apple Team, I have been an active Public Beta tester for several years and have submitted many reports via the Feedback Assistant – often with detailed descriptions, reproduction steps, and screenshots. Unfortunately, from a user’s perspective, it feels like this feedback disappears into a black hole. Most of my reports remain marked as “Open” for years, without any indication of review or resolution. I understand that individual responses are not part of the process, but there is no confirmation that feedback is received, reviewed, or forwarded internally. As a committed tester, I would greatly appreciate more transparency in the feedback process – for example, a short confirmation message, a basic status indicator (e.g., “duplicate”, “forwarded”, “resolved in version XY”) or even general updates about how user feedback contributes to product improvement. These small gestures would strengthen trust in the process and encourage ongoing contributions. The current silence, however, tends to demotivate testers and raises doubts about the usefulness of reporting bugs at all. I hope you will consider this suggestion and possibly forward it to the responsible internal teams. Sincerely, Christian

I want to update my iPhone 15 Pro to iOS 26 from iOS 18.5. I downloaded ipsw firmware. But iTunes and Apple Devices App requires update version of app for update to iOS 26. But I use last version of iTunes / Apple Devices, which was realised 2 May, 2025. That mean Apple need to update their apps for adaptation it to iOS 26 update?

tvOS 26 rolls out the feature to set every AirPlay speaker as permanent in the settings. Is there a possibility to setup eARC like with the HomePods for other devices connected to a TV or will this stay a HomePod only feature?

Hi, EtreCheck I could really use some help with this, as I haven’t been able to find much concrete info. I mistakenly updated my MacBook to the 15.5 beta, and while I can’t say with 100% certainty that the issues started immediately after, I’ve been experiencing consistent kernel panics every time the machine wakes from sleep — it restarts completely and throws an error. I’m really hoping this isn’t a hardware issue. The MacBook is just over two years old, and I rely on it daily for work — replacing it right now isn’t an option. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Time Machine backup to roll back to. I’ve already wiped the machine and reinstalled macOS via recovery mode, and Apple Diagnostics isn’t showing any hardware problems. Just to rule it out: I’m not using any external devices — no docks, Thunderbolt accessories, or anything else plugged in. I came across EtreCheck as a recommended tool, and I’ve included the results below. If anyone is able to help interpret them or point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it. I’ve since unenrolled from the beta and turned off automatic updates — I’m just hoping this is a beta-related bug that resolves with the next stable release. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

i want to make purchase for app subscription (recurring payment) but it showing debit card "not accepted by app" why is that

I download a demo from:https://applepaydemo.apple.com/wallet-extensions And I run my WalletUIExtention,but it's failed. This is some key in my info.plist <key>NSExtensionMainStoryboard</key> <string>MainInterface</string> <key>NSExtensionPointIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.PassKit.issuer-provisioning.authorization</string> <key>NSExtensionPrincipalClass</key> <string>MyAUViewController</string> But I found that deleting the key: NSExtendesionPrincipalClass or NSExtendeionMainStoryboard in the info.plist file can make it run. Should I delete the key ? Whitch key ?

Please make sure this feature gets placed back. Parents need a way to provide the ability for kids to watch and not watch at their discretion. The new system doesn’t allow this to happen. Are there any workarounds?

Hello, I recently got the IOS 26 beta update and since then(about a week back) I haven’t been able to make di calls to anyone it keeps sayin “call failed” whenever I try to make a call…can this be solved🙏🏼 Thank you for the help.

Device: iPhone 15 Pro Max | iPhone 16 Pro iOS Version： iOS26.0（23A5287g) Xcode Version：26.0 beta 3 (17A5276g) Sample Code： Wi-Fi Aware Sample https://developer.apple.com/documentation/WiFiAware/Building-peer-to-peer-apps I tried using the official sample code to verify the Wi-Fi Aware functionality between two iPhones. During testing, the devices successfully paired — I can see each other’s devices under Settings > Privacy & Security > Paired Devices. However, in the Wi-FIAwareSample app, neither the Host nor the Viewer can retrieve the paired devices. I’m not sure what’s causing this issue. Any insights? do { for try await updatedDeviceList in WAPairedDevice.allDevices { // always 0 key/value pairedDevices = Array(updatedDeviceList.values) } } catch { logger.error("Failed to get paired devices: \(error)") }

Hi everyone, I am doing some research into authentication methods on iOS apps. I'm looking to understand the choices iOS developers make and why. If you're an iOS developer, I’d be super grateful if you could take a couple of minutes to fill out a short questionnaire — it’s just 6 questions plus a few demographics, and it really helps my research. 🙂 This is a Swansea University research project approved by the Faculty of Science and Engineering under approval number 120251357213133.

In preparing my ipad 7th gen for resale, I factory reset and now it will not power up. Tried hard reset, new cables, different computer. iTunes does not recognize the ipad yet device manager shows it hooked to usb port. Any advice? Thanks!

I'm near my wit's end. My school district's developer application has been "pending" for nearly 4 months. Every time I call, which is every couple of weeks or so, I'm told the department reviewing the application cannot be contacted and that they will "escalate it." Apparently, this other department doesn't even have a phone number. Does anyone have any idea why it would be taking this long? They have all our documentation. Absolutely zero communication unless I call. PLEASE HELP!

Okay… help me out, I’m behind on the times. Upgraded to the 26 beta from … honestly I think I was still using 16-something? And I’m wondering where the photo markup feature went? To be clear, I’m referring to the ability to write on a photo or screenshot from the Photos app by clicking “Edit”, then “Markup”. Is it gone or am I overlooking it? And do forgive me if this feature has been gone for a while already—as I mentioned, it’s been a while since I bothered with an iOS update. (So far, I definitely liked the version I was on previously much more!)

The last couple of days ago, I tried to taste iOS 26. It’s a really awesome experience as an iOS user. But there were some issues that appeared when I was playing the games. So I downgraded to iOS 18.5. My phone is 13, and I checked my model number and downloaded 18.5 firmware from Apple user's well-known website and carefully making the downgrading process. After hours later I already got back 18.5, and I confess, the user experience is very different between iOS 26 and 18.5. The main problem is there, when I make phone calls with my friends and I notice my recent call history is empty. So I try to fix it the ways from YouTube videos. It doesn’t work. I tried to change the region and restart my phone. It doesn’t work, and I tried to syns with iCloud also doesn’t work. If you are facing an issue like mine, please kindly share the experience and how to fix it! Kindly see the attached photos. The notification appears as shown, but when I check the recent calls, there is no data available.

Hello, I’m reaching out here because I have exhausted all other support channels without success. I submitted an enrollment request for the Apple Developer Program on March 3, 2025 (Enrollment ID: 3CJFXN3AA3), and it’s now been over 2.5 months with no resolution. All required documents have been submitted, confirmed received by Apple Support, and multiple follow-ups have been made (Case #102541675488). Each time, I’m told that the case is still under review, but I haven’t received any clear update or timeline. Is there anything else I can do to move this process forward? Is there a better way to escalate or contact someone who can help finalize the review? Any advice or help from the community or Apple team would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Daniyar

Hello engineers, technicians and Apple community, I'm an autodidact technician from Temuco, Chile. I have built a fully documented surgical Apple restore lab focused on extreme intervention and analysis for a disabled iPhone XR. The restoration was executed using POSIX infrastructure (MSYS2/UCRT64, WSL2, Hyper-V) with manual compilation of essential tools (libirecovery, img4tool, libimobiledevice). All scripting, bootchain traces and environment diagnostics have been published for public review. 🔧 GitHub repository (public): https://github.com/Robinson-bastias/apple-xr-surgical-lab 📄 PDF portfolio (attached): Apple_XR_Surgical_Portfolio.pdf I have submitted a formal technical request to Apple Developer Support with full rights, asking for community engagement and further access to devices for expanded research. My goal is to contribute surgical technical insight, empower autodidact technicians in underserved regions, and help strengthen Apple restoration transparency from the ground. All traces, interventions and logs are public and replicable. Feedback, validation or references to Apple restoration mechanisms are deeply appreciated. Thank you for considering this independent initiative. – Robinson Miguel Bastías Leiva Technical operator / autodidact Temuco, Chile

Looking to start developing at Swift. What is the best way to get started with a job related to Swift development? Is there any specific demanded certification I could pursue? Thank you.

So here is my issue regarding iOS 26 Beta 3. I was playing a game called BangBang Survivor, while inside the game there is an option to make the game ad free with a monthly subscription. Somehow i found that it doesnt work anymore on Beta 3. When I clicked renew subcription, it shows “This Purchase has already been bought. It will restored for free” and I found that buying diamonds actually working, except those ad free subscription was not working. I contacted game dev for this issue, they cant seems to solve anything and asked me to contact Apple Support. But Apple Support doesnt solve the issue as well and asked me to contact the game dev. I guess i will need to wait for next update to see whether this issue will finally solve or not.

We are currently facing an issue with implementing "Sign in with Apple" in our iOS application built using Flutter. We've implemented "Sign in with Apple" using Firebase and On attempting to sign in, we are encountering the following error: “Sign-up not completed.” We have verified that: The Apple Sign is enabled on our Firebase Project. The Sign in with Apple capability is enabled in the Xcode project. The Apple Sign-In capability is enabled for the App ID on our Apple Developer account. All the certificates were re-provisioned after enabling the capability. The Bundle ID matches across Apple Developer portal and our app configuration. The email and fullName scopes are requested in the credential. Please let us know if you require any additional information. We’re happy to provide whatever is needed.
