Challenges with iOS 26
While the new system presents several advantages, I have encountered some issues with my iPhone. Specifically, I have noticed instances where the device becomes unresponsive when I open or close an application rapidly. Although the design of the system is commendable, it appears that the devices are not fully optimized to handle the increased demands of the new system.

Possible to bring back "Time in Bed" iOS feature?
I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS 26. But since iOS 18, Apple decided to remove the "Time in Bed" feature[1][2]. Is it possible to develop an app that, effectively, "brings back" this feature? It doesn't have to be that accurate. Just a gauge is fine. As a starter I would like to track the time the phone was in Sleep mode (regardless whether the phone is being used). I have a minimal programming background but have not developed an iOS app before so any help would be appreciated. I found out about HealthKit[3] which lets me access (edit?) Health data, but I don't know where to go from there.

spcData payload (fairplay.cer) for FairPlay key server
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.

CarPlay Image Issue on iPhone 17?
Has anyone else had any issued with their CarPlay with the new phone? My screen gets distorted and you cannot make up anything that shows up on it, it's specific to the new phone since I have also tried it with an iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 13. I have updated my car's firmware, reset it, reset my phone settings (per Apple's request) and nothing seems to be working, and unfortunately since I'm on the beta they are limited with the assistance they are able to provide to me.

Phonebook
I don't like the ios 26 phone book because sometimes, I just want to look up contanct info. Now, I have to go into edit to see the contact info. Then, I cannot even see the whole phone number at once. When I click on it, I still cannot see tha whole number. Please make it the way it was! Note: I tried to find a place to report this as an iphone user and couldn't, so I put it here. Please making finding a place like this available and easy to find for ios users.

IOS downgrade from 26 to 18
Hi developers, The iOS 18 has been unsigned since 09/23, which is much earlier than Apple usually does. In addition, the new features in IOS26 are tough to get used to; therefore, the sign for IOS18.7 is urgently needed by a large number of Apple users! Please see discussions on every social media across various languages.

苹果在国庆节期间会审核APP上架吗
9.30日上午11点按拒审信息,修改了“APP描述”的内容,不需要提审新包。现在显示“等待审核中”,请问有经验的开发者,国庆节期间,苹果会继续审核吗?按经验,如果不是国庆节,今天(星期三),应该是审核通过的。

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?

NVMe External Disk working in MacOS Sequoia But not in Tahoe
Hi, I have been using external NVMe disk since March 2025 with my Mac M1 1TB until recently couple of days agao I updated Mac OS to Tahoe from Sequpoia 15.6. Now Mac OS Tahoe is disconnecting my NVMe automatically saying please eject the disc before disconnecting and suddenly after an hour it reconnects. Right now I have reinstall Mac OS Sequoia and My external NVMe disk is working again. This post is for Mac OS developers to check for APFS drivers on Mac Tahoe as they are messing up with external NVMe SSD. I dont know about others brand of NVMe I am using Transcend inclosure with transcend NVMe 2TB SSD hard disk. Kindly please check as its not NVMe issue its and OS issue. If it was NVMe issue my SSD should also not work with Sequoia but as it is working with Sequoia so it has to be something with Tahoe OS. Kindly review your code about APFS drivers or thunderbold USB C drivers or may be something else linked to APFS file system. I hope this post reaches you and you guys can consider it as help ful. Kind regards

SSC Distinguished Winner here😃! I created the1st game 100 % using Apple Pencil to interact. Interested in joining our DC?
Hey everyone, I'm beyond excited to share that I've been selected as a Distinguished Winner in this year's Swift Student Challenge! 🎉 It all started last summer, in the middle of a Western Culture class. I was zoning out , and my attention drifted to the Apple Pencil in my hand. And then ,it hit me — this thing is literally a next-level game controller. Think about it: pixel-perfect precision, haptic feedback, multiple built-in sensors... Why aren't we using this for gaming? And that got me thinking — why have we spent the last 500 years treating the "pencil" as just a tool for creation, and not for play? Since graphite pencils were invented in 1564, we've had this incredibly natural way to interact with 2D and 3D space... and nobody's fully tapped into it for games. So, I did something about it. I built a game that's 100% controlled by the Apple Pencil yep, just the Pencil. I know what you're thinking: "How does that even work??" And honestly, I'd love to tell you... but I'm in the final stages of getting it onto the App Store, and it should be live within the next couple of weeks. So for now... 🤐😄 In the meantime, I've set up a Discord server for anyone who's curious about the gameplay, the design, or just wants to brainstorm ideas with me. If you're into creative controls, game design, or just want to hang — come join the conversation! [Join the Discord here!] https://discord.gg/5Rm8WKbekf Can't wait to share more soon!
