IOS 26 Camera and External Storage
Hi All, I searched for this feedback but didn't see it, so apologies if this has been covered by another thread. Exploring the new camera app, It doesn't seem to recognize that external storage has been connected, so the additional features that allow ProRes high frame rates will throw an error dialog stating that "to use this you need external storage" even when external storage is connected. Using the Files app, the phone recognizes the storage, and this is something I can do with this external storage device on the previous version of IOS. It is clear that this release of the camera has been rewritten significantly since the last version. Is it possible that this is an oversight, a bug, or just functionality that has not been completed? Interested if anybody else is seeing this, or if it is just my setup.

File/folder Permissions Issues
Currently running 15.5 Beta 3 on a Mac Studio M4. I am unable to read/write to my Home folder from most of my applications. I receive an error basically saying I do not have access rights to the file/folder. If I go to the file directly and open it, it works. I have repaired disk permissions, checked the Sharing & Permissions settings via Get Info, and finally called Apple. Of course, since I am running the beta, the support was quite limited. I will add that I am also unable to open .dmgs that have been downloaded to my Downloads folder. I receive the "The disk image couldn’t be opened. The operation couldn’t be completed. Operation not permitted" error. If I copy the .dmg to another drive, I can open it from there.

Apple Developer Enrollment Delay — No Updates for 24 Days
I’m trying to register an Apple Developer Account for my company. I uploaded all the required documents, but my initial application was rejected, and I was asked to provide notarized translations of my documents. I translated them and submitted everything for review on April 1. After a week without a response, I contacted Apple Support. They replied that the documents had been received and were under review. However, as of today, April 24, my account is still under review. I’ve sent five follow-up emails to Support asking for a status update on my case, but I haven’t received any replies. Has anyone faced a similar situation and could suggest what I can do to get a status update and finally complete the registration? If anyone from Apple Support is reading this, my case number is 20000098634973 and my Enrollment ID is J34432JQFC. Thank you in advance for your help.

Persistent Remote Access or Network Manipulation? Technical Findings and Questions
Over the past few months, I’ve been experiencing persistent, abnormal behavior on my iPhone. Here's a short timeline: March 2025: Most apps log me out every time I close them. April 2025: Stored passwords suddenly begin failing across apps and websites. May–June 2025: Password recovery emails from Gmail accounts no longer arrive — suggesting that Gmail itself may be compromised or blocked/intercepted. Given the escalation, I ran several diagnostics and extracted system-level logs. Below is a structured summary of findings that point toward potential remote access, network traffic rerouting, and possibly hidden use of Bluetooth or debugging interfaces. Device Information Model: iPhone17,1 (A17 chip) iOS Version: 18.5 (Build 22F76) Status: Stock, not jailbroken or running a developer build Region: Netherlands Carrier: KPN NL Language/Locale: Dutch (nl-NL) 1. Evidence of Remote Services and XPC Connectivity Source: remotectl_dumpstate.txt More than 50 remote lockdown and diagnostic services are listed as active. Notable entries: com.apple.mobile.lockdown.remote.trusted and .untrusted com.apple.mobile.file_relay.shim.remote com.apple.webinspector.shim.remote com.apple.pcapd.shim.remote com.apple.bluetooth.BTPacketLogger.shim.remote com.apple.mobile.insecure_notification_proxy.remote This volume of .shim.remote and diagnostic services appears highly irregular for a non-debug, non-jailbroken device. 2. Skywalk Network Flows and Unusual Routing Source: skywalk.txt Dozens of flowswitch entries across interfaces like: ipsec0-7, pdp_ip0-2, en0-2, awdl0 Apps such as Gmail, ChatGPT, Preferences, and com.apple.WebKit are marked as defunct, yet persist in flow tables. Two specific daemons — replicatord and siriactionsd — appear on nearly every interface, in both QUIC and TCP6 traffic. skywalkctl flow-route shows multiple external IP paths, with flows routed through ipsec7, owned by kernel_task.0 — indicate tunnelling? 3. System Anomalies and Resource Behavior Inaccessible System Network Tools Source: get-network-info.txt All scutil calls fail (/usr/sbin/scutil does not exist). This blocks access to: DNS configuration (scutil --dns) Proxy and VPN status (scutil --proxy, --nc list) Reachability checks (scutil -r www.apple.com) The absence of scutil is not expected right? Unusual Resource Usage Source: assetsd.diskwrites_resource-2025-06-25.json assetsd, working on behalf of cloudphotod, wrote over 1 GB of memory-backed files in under 1.5 hours. 4. Metadata Confirmation Source: Analytics-2025-06-27-020008.json Confirms: iPhone capacity: 256 GB DRAM: 7.5 GB Carrier: KPN NL Apps marked as highly active ("Games", "Creativity") in analytics also appear as defunct in skywalk, suggesting ghost background processes. Key Questions for the Developer Community Are >50 remote .shim.remote services typical on iOS 18.5 (release build)? Or does this suggest tampering, an MDM configuration, or debug provisioning? Could a misconfigured VPN or MDM profile enable persistent flow-switching across multiple interfaces (e.g., ipsec, pdp, awdl) and reroute app traffic such as Gmail? Is it possible for a test or developer certificate to silently side-load a background daemon, or trigger services like pcapd or file_relay, without showing in Profiles or Settings? Has anyone else seen the scutil binary missing or inaccessible on a stock iPhone? Could this be a sign of intentional lockdown or system modification? If anyone on iOS 18.5 / iPhone17,1 can share their remotectl_dumpstate output, I'd like to compare the service count and see if this behavior is reproducible. I’d appreciate any insight from those familiar with Apple’s system daemons, skywalk internals, or network service behavior. Happy to share sanitized logs or run additional diagnostics if needed. Thanks in advance. get-network-info.txt route-info.txt remotectl_dumpstate.txt [ assetsd.diskwrites_resource-2025-06-25-221428.json

Unknown unauthorized mdm
m personal iPhone is managed by an Unauthorized and Unknown mdm management team, The profile isn’t showing up in VPN Settings and I can’t remove them from having Remote access and control over my Personal Device! I’ve SPENT MANY MONTHS TRYING TO GET SUPPORT VIA EMAILING APPLE DEVELOPER AND SPEAKING TO APPLE SUPPORT WHICH HAS BEEN EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING AND HUMILIATIN! I’ve resorted to contacting Internet crime websit, the federal trade commissio, Better business bureau and Consumer Affairs to file an online complaint against Apple for not complying with their Security and Privacy policy for consumers accounts! Because of this unauthorized and unknown mdm devi management profile I don’t have COMPLETE CONTROL OVER MY OWN IPHONE! !

IOS 26 Developer Beta 3
This is my first problem and my first question hopefully somebody can help or give me some suggestions. I was in the developr beta of IOS 26 build(235260n) for a while I haven't updated it since the new beat has came out, beta 3. I have been trying to update requested, after about 20 seconds it goes away but does not start the download the update. The problem also begins to download something into the system beta goes from 22.85 GB to 33.78 GB. It just holds the update but doesn't;t update the phone. I have tried power cycling the device and everytime I do that it just resets the system data and allows up to try the update again. Unsure what to do and don't know if I would need to wait for the public beta for IOS26 to change anything on the device. Please let me know if you guys have any more suggestions what should be the next step. I also was unsure if I should backup the device and reinstall it to make sure that its not something with the conncetion.

TVOS - App Data Stored in Shared App Groups not removing after deletion of apps
Hi, Having a weird issue that I’m noticing on Apple TVs with some apps that are by the same company. I think it’s storing residual user data if if you delete the app and all other apps relating to this. I have even tried deleting every app and reinstalling but we found two apps to be still logged in. Seams like a sandboxing bug and I presume it’s to do with App data stored in the shared app groups. I can only reset the apple tv to remove the user data. The two apps we can see are being persistent is Binge and Kayo by streamotion. We have tried problem solving this in every way imaginable but it’s Interesting that this is allowed to happen on an Apple platform. There is no active user logged into the apple TV with an Apple ID either

Affiliate links to external Web store
Hello all. I am currently developing a database app of particular products for people who collect this item. Let's say model airplanes. People can look at their list of model airplanes and also see a collection of airplanes by model companies. I want to offer a link from a product in my app to a local retailer's website who sells this product on their website. Not just their base site, but directly to the products page. Meaning each product in my database will have a unique link to an external product page. This could also include links to Ebay or Amazon if local retailer doesn't sell the product. Is this sort of feature allowed inside App Store Apps as technically it's not an in-app purchase? I do see some vague answers around but none that target this specific circumstance. Thankyou in advance.

Getting error 'Can't Decode' when exporting a video file via AVAssetExportSession
I'm working on a video player app that has the basic functionality of viewing a video and then be able to trim and crop that video and then save it. My flow of trimming a video and then saving it works well with any and every video. Cropping, however, doesn't work in the sense that I am unable to Save the video and export it. Whenever I crop a video, in the video player, I can see the cropped version of the video (it plays too!) but on saving said video, I get the error: Export failed with status: 4, error: Cannot Decode I've been debugging for 2 days now but I'm still unsure as to why this happens. I'm almost certain the bug is somewhere cause of cropping and then saving/exporting. If anyone has dealt with this before, please let me know what the best step to do is! If you could help me refine the flow for cropping and exporting, that'd be really helpful too. Thanks!

Apple Photos - Collections Section
Hello everyone, I’m having an issue with the Photos app on my iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 26 Beta 2 (happened in first Beta as well). When I open the Photos app and go to the Collections section, it’s completely blank — no photos, just empty space. The library seems to be working fine and my photos show up in the Library. I’ve tried restarting the phone and force-quitting the app, but no change. Could it be a bug? Also, I just switched from Android to IOS, one week ago, if this detail helps. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any fixes or suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Broadcast Extension sound is not received after another app uses the mic on iOS
Hello all, I have an application that uses broadcast extension of Replay kit to record the entire screen and mic sound to a file on iOS. Up until some months ago, everything was smooth. Currently I am facing the following issue. If another app uses the microphone, then I loose the sound and never comes back. In order to debug this issue I have added a log to the processSampleBuffer, that logs a text each time it receives a .audioMic buffer type. I start the recording and everything works as expected. Later on, I go onto an app that uses microphone, and then I do not get any log for audioMic. I stop the recording on that app, but the sound never comes back. This as a result makes my video file to not have any sound at all. In the above context I also noticed that even with Photos app broadcast extension, if you start recording a video, and you go to Speech to text feature of the keyboard, then the sound is joined. While the STT is on, there is no sound and the sound of whatever comes after STT stops is joined to the sound before the STT starts, so I guess that this is something general. Also on the same research I did, I saw that google Meet app does not allow any microphone to be used from another app while you are in a meet (Even the STT is grayed out). I would like to know my options here. What can I do to have a valid video file with sound? How can I not allow other apps to use the microphone while my app is recording? Is there any entitlement? How does Google Meet do that? P.S. I have added an observer to observe the interruptions for the session and the type .began runs, but the type .ended does not, so I can not actually set the AVAudioSession to active again.

While the STT is on, there is no sound and the sound of whatever comes after STT stops is joined to the sound before the STT starts, so I guess that this is something general. Also on the same research I did, I saw that google Meet app does not allow any microphone to be used from another app while you are in a meet (Even the STT is grayed out). I would like to know my options here. What can I do to have a valid video file with sound? How can I not allow other apps to use the microphone while my app is recording? Is there any entitlement? How does Google Meet do that? P.S. I have added an observer to observe the interruptions for the session and the type .began runs, but the type .ended does not, so I can not actually set the AVAudioSession to active again.

Fix for screen time?
I was experimenting with the screen time controls to see how it affected an app I am working on and I created a screen time passcode that I later forgot. Any fix? I can't find the "forgot passcode" button anywhere and I am now unable to turn off find my as a result.
