Backup and restore Personal IOS data to Supervised device?
Backup and restore Personal IOS data to a Supervised device? We currently have around 200+ iPhone users that are using their devices as personal devices. We are planning on moving them to Intune using Automated Device Enrollment (Supervised). Is it any way possible to backup their devices, do a factory reset, enroll them in Intune, then restore the old data? Is it possible to do backup and restore in this situation? Is there an alternative way to restore the data back to a supervised device?

Phone App Being Quirky - Touch Tone Not Working, not able to answer
I have been trying to make phone calls using the Phone app on my MacBook Air. The calls will go through with absolutely no problem. If it's a service that needs touch-tone phone prompts, the tones do not register with the automated system. I have also just noticed that when a call rings on my computer (and it IS ringing), there is no way to answer it. I am running Tahoe Beta 26.1 Any thoughts?

IOS 26 Beta
so far the only issue I’m having since the update yesterday is my Bluetooth. Every time I try to use my Bluetooth headphones since the update, they either just stop working midway through playing a song or watching a video, etc., or they play a super high pitched noise that causes me to have to rip my headphones out of my ears.

Recently used emoticons
Why can’t Apple just release a version that put the most frequent used emoticons in the most left side of the emoticons keyboard??? Each person always uses the same 20 or 30 emoticons. How this could be reported to developers? Thx

Cannot currently post a follow-up reply
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!

Beta update 18.3 on IOS
Beta Update Feedback: iOS 18.3 The iOS 18.3 beta update has been a deeply frustrating experience due to numerous critical issues that severely impact the device's functionality. Below is a detailed report of the problems encountered: All major social applications, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Photos, consistently crash. When launching these apps, the screen often turns dark before reverting to the home screen. This issue persists across other third-party and native apps, making the device unusable for basic tasks. The system frequently hangs, failing to process basic operations effectively. Restarting the device is often the only temporary solution; however, even after multiple restarts, the issues remain unresolved. Significant charging drops are observed, and the device intermittently fails to recognize the charger. Charging efficiency has drastically decreased, creating inconvenience for daily usage. The Photos app is riddled with bugs, making it nearly impossible to use. Basic functions such as viewing, editing, or sharing photos do not work properly. Every aspect of the update feels unstable, with issues cropping up in every corner of the system. The phone’s functionality has deteriorated, so it no longer performs as expected. Device Affected: iPhone 13 Impact Level: Severe This update has caused immense frustration and has made the iPhone 13 difficult.

Promotional Offers not Working-"Offer Not Available"
When attempting to use apple promotional offers for subscriptions I consistently receive the popup that says "Offer Not Available" for both production and sandbox. Without offer code purchase working fine. I have verified the App Store Connect setup and client side code and even created new offer codes also, but I have hit a dead end. Error:- (Error Domain=SKErrorDomain Code=18 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x280dbb0f0 {Error Domain=ASDServerErrorDomain Code=3904 "Offer Not Available" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offer Not Available}}})

Apple Pencil Pro not staying connected in iPadOS26 beta
I have a new M4 iPad Air and a brand new Apple Pencil Pro. It was working well until I installed iPadOS 26.0 (23A5297m) beta. Now, when using GoodNotes to write the Pencil functions for about 6-8 seconds and then disconnects for 2-3 seconds and then reconnects. You can imagine how disruptive this is. It does the same thing trying to highlight in the Kindle app, so I think it is an iOS issue. As I write this, I am discovering that the Pencil is not wanting to stay connected at all despite showing up in the list of Bluetooth devices and connecting temporarily. I've tried forgetting and reconnecting the Pencil several times. It is charged to 100%, and I receive the alert that the iPad detects the Pencil. Is anyone else having this issue? Do I need to assume this is being addressed?

Sequoia 15.3 Beta 24D5034f
Hi folks, First - I'm not a developer. Some time ago I came across Sequoia Beta and installed it thinking it was just a usage data collection thing. I recently wanted to delete it because I suspected it was causing other issues, but was only offered to have updates stopped. My MacBook Pro M2 still says I'm running Sequoia 15.3 (Beta 24D5034f). I have another, maybe unrelated issue and posted a question about it on Apple Community but the question was deleted and I was pointed here because I mentioned the Beta! This was my question: I can FaceTime from the iPhone but when I try to FaceTime from the Mac, I get a notification on the Mac saying: "iPhone calls not available. Your iPhone is not configured to allow calls using this Mac". My iPhone is a 14Plus on iOS 18.2.1 (22C161). I've tried the iPhone and Mac fixes suggested by Apple but no luck there - that was all about turning iMessages and FaceTime off or signing out for both devices, then power cycling both devices. I don't understand how this is supposed to work. Could my issue be related to the Beta? If so, and in any case, how do I remove the Beta? TIA

[Error] 18.2.1 HealthKit steps
From the date the app was updated, the step count data retrieved from HealthKit was strange. On the other hand, step count data from the date before the update is imported normally. After deleting and reinstalling the app, the problem did not occur. Is there anyone who has experienced something like this or knows the cause?

Change Developer Forum Username
Hi There, Last year, I changed my company name from SugAR Labs to All Immersive. My current developer forum username is "SugAR_Labs" and I would like to change it to "All_Immersive" to match my new company name. I was advised by developer support on a phone call that there is not a way for me to do this myself. They referred me to a post like this to see if someone could help. Can someone help me make the change? Thanks!
