Tahoe 26.4 breaks custom paths with NetFSMountURLSync?
Just wondering if anyone ran into this issue. I use NetFSMountURLSync for my application with which I allow the user to use a custom path as a mount point (instead of "/Volumes"). This has worked just fine for at least a decade now, but ... since the Tahoe 26.4 "update" mounting to a custom path only generates errors. Note: Mounting to "/Volumes" works correctly (mountpoint = NIL). Since I'm unaware of any changes; is this a bug introduced by Tahoe 26.4, or should I be using a different function to mount a network share?

Developer account verification
I created my developer account on Wednesday and paid for the subscription straight away, but I’ve been waiting ever since. It says that processing can take up to 48 hours, but I’ve now been waiting for five days and nothing has changed... I’ve contacted customer service but haven’t received a reply. Is this normal?

Account pending
Hi everyone, I purchased an Apple Developer Program membership about three days ago. The payment has already been successfully charged to my bank account, but my account is still showing the status “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership.” I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information since completing the purchase. I’m curious if others have experienced a similar delay recently, and how long it took before your developer account was fully activated. Any insights or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Different app behavior when running on device from Xcode
I have an app I am working on that makes a REST call, updates the UI with the info, and sends a notification. When I run Build and Run my app from Xcode using my iPhone as the destination, it works exactly as I want it to - my REST calls and notifications continue to work when the app is in the background. However, when I run my app that has been installed on my iPhone from the Xcode build/run directly (without Xcode in the picture), it does NOT behave correctly and only works when my app is in the foreground. What am I missing?

App Stuck in Review for Over a Month – Urgent Assistance Required
Hello, My app has been stuck in the App Store review process for approximately one month, with no progress or updates provided during this time. I have sent around 20 emails and also submitted an expedite request due to the critical nature of the issue. Unfortunately, I have not received any response to any of my inquiries. This situation has reached a critical point. Since my app is not functioning properly, I have lost all of my subscribed users, causing both financial loss and damage to my reputation. Based on my previous experience, review times are usually much shorter, so this delay appears highly unusual. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in clarifying the following: Why has my app not been reviewed yet? Why have my emails not received any response? Is there anything further I can do to expedite the review process? I kindly ask for this issue to be investigated and resolved as soon as possible. I am ready to provide any additional information if needed. App Apple ID: 6756207941 I need a response now, please. Don't tell me to send an email because I'm not getting any replies. I just want a review to be conducted. Thank you in advance for your support. Best regards,

Removed from App Store Connect but still appearing in Apple Developer account
Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue where my Apple ID still appears to be associated with a developer team even after being removed. Here’s the situation: I was part of a company Apple Developer Program team. I have already followed Apple’s official “Leave a Team” steps. I have also been removed from App Store Connect by the Account Holder. The Account Holder confirmed that my Apple ID is no longer visible under Users and Access However, when I log in to https://developer.apple.com/account, I can still see the team listed under my account. This seems like a mismatch between App Store Connect and the Apple Developer Portal. Has anyone else experienced this issue? If so: Did it resolve on its own after some time? Or did you have to contact Apple Developer Support to get it fixed? Any guidance would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Announce the time not using selected voice
With 26.4 beta 2 announce the time is no longer using the voice I have selected. I am using Australian English Siri 2, however it will speak using American English Samantha. I also have the system voice set the Australian English Siri 2 which is never honored. In fact, with that setting, Speak announcement never happens. Speak announcements has been broken since 26.0. There are several other issues with text to speach. Basically, TTS works for the most part if you use the default Samantha voice. Various things break when using other voices. FB22035712 -- "Announce the time not using selected voice" FB22035743 -- "Speak announcements only works if Samantha voice is selected." I will note that FB20933185 -- "Siri voices break System voice UI" appears fixed in 26.4 beta 2, in that the UI is no longer broken with Siri voices, but now Siri voices aren't honored.

Help, please - account issues
Hi, I'm in urgent need of help as I'm continuously building an app for my daughter who has diabetes type 1. The app helps her with her insulin, it's called "Loop". Anyway, this time I discovered that my Apple Developer Account is "expired". I don't understand why, at the same time and under the same account it states that my next payment is due in June 2026. And in my iPhone the subscription is still active. Regardless of all this; my question is: how do I get my account - my same account - active again, once it turned expired? The "renewal" button isn't there, I can't find a way to simply get the account going again. Really stressed out due to the medical thing. Please, help.

CPInformationTemplate shows empty bottom action bar on iOS 26.4 even when no buttons are provided
Hi, After updating to iOS 26.4, we noticed a change in the behavior of CPInformationTemplate in CarPlay. Previously, when creating a CPInformationTemplate with an empty array of CPTextButton (no actions), the bottom action bar was not displayed. However, on iOS 26.4, an empty horizontal bar is now always shown at the bottom, even when no buttons are provided. Example: let item = CPInformationItem(title: "Some item...", detail: "") let template = CPInformationTemplate( title: "Bug demo", layout: .twoColumn, items: [item], actions: [] ) Expected behavior: No bottom bar when there are no actions. Actual behavior on iOS 26.4: An empty bottom bar is always visible. Questions: Is this an intentional change in CarPlay UI behavior? Is there any way to hide the action bar when there are no buttons? Are developers now expected to always provide at least one action? This change negatively affects layouts where the template is used for loading or informational states without actions. Thanks.

Namedrop time and location
Namedrop should register a metadata of time and location, so that a search of a contact can be done also by its association to the time and location of exchange. Often times after the contact exchange, the two users forget the name of each other and there is no way to search by "event".

SiriSearchFeedback Crash 30 fois par jour, Siri ne fonctionne pas sur deux iPhones depuis plus d’un an.
SiriSearchFeedback crashing 30 times per day for over a year, Siri completely broken - tried everything Hi, I have been dealing with a persistent Siri bug for over a year across two different iPhones (15 Pro then 16 Pro) and I cannot find a fix anywhere. The symptom is simple : Siri does not work at all. When I check Settings > Privacy > Analytics > Analytics Data, I see around 30 SiriSearchFeedback .ips crash files generated every single day. The bug_type is 313, which points to the parsecd daemon crashing in a loop, preventing Spotlight indexing and Siri from functioning. What I have already tried, all without success : Full restart Toggling Siri and Search settings for every app Disabling and re-enabling Suggest Apps Before Searching Temporary language switch (French to English and back) Deleting Siri and Dictation history from Apple servers Signing out of iCloud and back in Full factory reset, set up as new iPhone with no backup restored Switching to a new device (15 Pro to 16 Pro) The key point : the bug always comes back the moment I sign back into my Apple ID. This makes me think the corruption is stored server-side and synced back automatically with every login. Has anyone solved this permanently ? Is there any way to fully wipe Siri or Spotlight data on Apple's servers beyond the standard Dictation history deletion ? Any help appreciated.

The Proliferation of DarkSword: iOS Exploit Chain Adopted by Multiple Threat Actors
Dear Team, Can you please check and confirm for this security Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has identified a new iOS full-chain exploit that leveraged multiple zero-day vulnerabilities to fully compromise devices. Based on toolmarks in recovered payloads, we believe the exploit chain to be called DarkSword. Since at least November 2025, GTIG has observed multiple commercial surveillance vendors and suspected state-sponsored actors utilizing DarkSword in distinct campaigns. These threat actors have deployed the exploit chain against targets in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Malaysia, and Ukraine. https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/darksword-ios-exploit-chain?hl=en

Digital Services Act in "In Review"
Hi everyone, my Digital Services Act (DSA) status in App Store Connect has been “In Review” for over a week. Is this normal? The app is already available in 178 countries, but it can’t be released in the EU (my home market) solely because this DSA isn’t approved yet. How long did it take for you? Is there anything that helps speed up the DSA review? Thanks for any insights.

NEED HELP WITH VOICE MEMOS PLEASE
I have a very important voice memo that I have recorded on my iPad, as I was recording it, it seemed to have completely worked, but for some strange reason the voice memo will not play, download to my filess, I am unable to send it to anyone, and it basically just pops up blank every time I just try to share it. I cannot listen to it and have not been able to listen to it. This is the same on both my iPad and my phone, when I went to Apple, they said to come on here and ask for guidance, and that it might be because my regular iPhone is updated normally but on my iPad, which was the Voice Memo was recorded on is updated To beta. please give me some advice and if there’s any way, I could recover even the transcript of the voice message because it is truly so important to me. The sound waves are there and everything and I just don’t understand why it will not play on either device. I have also tried copying it. I have also tried trimming the beginning and it’s like the data is there, but it will not play.
