Both Apple and third-party apps in CarPlay are not displaying properly after updating to iOS 26 public beta two. I submitted feedback, wondering if anybody else had this problem and have solved it. The only apps that appear to be working normally are map apps like Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze. The others show only background, but if you tap on the touchscreen it will perform an action as if the tile/link is there, but invisible

What OS will a Swift Student Challenge submission run on? I want to use iOS 26 features but the version history for Swift Playground doesn’t show it being updated past the iOS 17.5 SDK. So, can I still use features from the iOS 26 SDK?
I set iOS 26 to install overnight, put my iPhone 16 Pro on the MagSafe charger, watched it charge just fine, and went to sleep. When I woke up the iPhone showed the “plug into power” dead battery screen. I took it off MagSafe and put it back on. A half hour later the phone was warm but still wouldn’t power on, just showed the battery screen with a little red in it. I took it off MagSafe and plugged it into my iPad charging brick with USB cable to give it more power, still it did not turn on. I tried holding all the buttons to try to force a restart but didn’t work.
For anyone else encountering this, do this to enter DFU mode and restore it. I had to do it a few times before I got the timing right.
Plug into your Mac and open Finder (or apparently a PC with Apple Devices or iTunes)
Press and quickly release volume up
Press and quickly release volume down
Press and hold right side button
When the battery disappears and screen goes black, hold volume down and continue holding side button
After a couple seconds release the side button and continue holding volume down
A prompt to allow connecting to the iPhone should appear after a couple seconds, click Allow, and it’ll say the iPhone entered DFU mode - proceed to restore the firmware
I noticed the water lock feature isn’t in the control center after updating to WatchOS 26

ONE_TIME_CHARGE notify type running in a sandbox environment for almost a year, the feature is not yet available for production environment.
The notification is already available in Google subscriptions.
Our services often miss orders because of the absence of this notification.
Can you give us an approximate time range?

Hello everyone! I'm a newly graduated Computer Engineer living in Türkiye. I've been developing my skills in the iOS field for a while now. But sometimes I get lost and don't know what to do. I've just joined this community and have a request for you. I'd be very grateful if you could share your own advice, experiences you've had along the way, and how you successfully overcame them. I'm open to all kinds of positive or negative feedback. Self-improvement is paramount to me.
I've been trying to add my bank info to my account on AppStore connect, but nothing seems to work. Even searching for my bank does not work for me. Even tried searching for any other bank does not work. Keeps giving error messages.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?
Hello. I need to develop for iOS 18. I've recently updated Xcode and it says I have to download ios 26 platform. I don't need it, but I can no longer build my existing projects against ios 18, even though Xcode says it's still installed and used 13 days ago. How to I remedy this?
Hello Apple Developer Community,
I'm hoping someone can advise me on a serious issue. Our organization's Apple Developer Program account has been effectively locked because our Account Holder's Apple ID is inaccessible. I need to unlock that Apple ID so we can manage our apps.
I've already reached out to Apple Developer Support, but so far, I haven't received a response. This situation is critical because our clients rely on us to maintain and update our apps.
Key details (some info is masked for privacy): • We're enrolled as an Organization/Company. • The current Account Holder's Apple ID is locked and cannot perform any actions. • No other accounts have admin access.
If anyone has encountered a similar issue or knows a more efficient route to escalate, I'd be extremely grateful for your insights.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can share. This is critical to our organization, and we'd appreciate any pointers on how to navigate or expedite the support process.

Hello!
i developed an app for the Swift Student Challenge and submitted it, can I publish it to the app store before it is judged.
Guideline 2.3.1 - Performance
The app contains hidden features.
Specifically, we still noticed that your app includes code which causes it to behave differently during the review process regarding web game presentation and payment. It would be appropriate to ensure that all features and functions in the app are visible and fully accessible during review.
Guideline 3.1.1 - Business - Payments - In-App Purchase
The app allows users to purchase digital content natively or via a web view in the app using payment mechanisms other than in-app purchase. Apps cannot include in-app payment mechanisms other than in-app purchase. Apps on the United States storefront may also include buttons, external links, or other calls to action to direct users to payment mechanisms other than in-app purchase.
We have been rejected three times due to hidden functions and issues with web payment and web games. However, in the last package we submitted for review, it was confirmed that the code related to web games was removed, and the code related to web interaction JS bridging payment calls was also removed
Dear experts, we sincerely invite you to offer your valuable suggestions. If you have any experience of meeting us, please share with us. We would be extremely grateful
With ios 26 the chapter images are not updating anymore. At first I thought this is carlay related but it also occures when the phone is connected only through USB or bluetooth to play a podcast. I tried Apple podcasts and other apps like Pocketcast or audible. Same problem. The phone shows the correct chapter image while my car shows the inital image all the time. Even tried a different car :-)
I checked focus and settings but found nothing related.
With ios18 everything works fine.
Any ideas?
Dear Apple Developer Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I'm seeking guidance regarding an issue with my Apple Developer account and the future status of my app.
Issue Summary:
Account Status: My Apple Developer account has been locked (cannot be used) without any clear reason. Despite contacting both Apple Support and Apple Developer Support, I haven't received a workable solution to regain access.
App Status: Currently, my mobile app remains visible and downloadable on the Apple App Store.
Concerns:
Future of the App: I'm concerned about the future availability of my app. I've heard that apps associated with locked or inactive developer accounts might be archived or removed after a certain period. Is this accurate? If so, what is the typical timeframe for such actions?
Similar Experiences: Has anyone in the community encountered a similar situation with their developer account being locked and cannot be used? If so, were you able to resolve it, and how?
I appreciate any insights or advice from those who have faced similar challenges or have knowledge in this area. Your assistance would be invaluable in helping me navigate this situation.

I am writing to report an issue encountered while testing the iOS 26 beta. It appears that adding VPN configurations is currently not possible in this version.
Specifically, attempts to add a new VPN configuration through the Settings app or via programmatic configuration profiles are unresponsive.
As VPN functionality is essential for a number of development and enterprise use cases, I would appreciate it if your team could confirm whether this is a known issue, or provide guidance on any changes to VPN configuration handling in iOS 26.
Please let me know if additional diagnostic information or logs would be helpful.
Thank you for your support and for providing access to the iOS 26 beta.
Best regards,
Majid

.familyActivityPicker(

In the official version of iOS 18, when I click the Done button of familyActivityPicker, the fullScreenCover pop-up box will disappear.
Hi there,
I am new to Xcode26 and dragged my AppIcon.icon (created with Icon Composer) into the project. Then build failed with "Could not locate icontool".
Could anyone point me to the cleanest way to solve this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello everyone,
Since iOS 18, there has been an issue where it’s not possible to set up custom IMAP accounts using one’s own domain. However, IMAP accounts from providers like Strato or other hosting services work without any problems.
When will Apple finally resolve this issue?
Is there already a solution for the problem?
Disabling "Tracking IP" under Wi-Fi Settings doesn’t help.
Uninstalling and reinstalling the Mail app also doesn’t resolve the issue.
Thank you for your help.
It would be nice if someone from Apple could comment on this matter. Thank you very much!

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}}})
I’m experiencing an issue on macOS Tahoe (Developer Beta, July 2025) related to the new “Allow in Menu Bar” section in System Settings.
After uninstalling the application Backdrop (developer: Cindori), the entry com.cindori.Backdrop.Wallpaper still appears in the list of apps allowed to show in the menu bar, even though:
— The app and all its associated files have been fully deleted.
— The LaunchAgents files in ~/Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchAgents have been removed.
— Preferences have been deleted via defaults delete com.cindori.Backdrop and defaults delete com.cindori.Backdrop.Wallpaper.
— The system has been restarted.
It seems the “Allow in Menu Bar” section keeps phantom references to apps or agents even after complete cleanup.
Could you please confirm if this is expected behavior (perhaps for future reactivation) or a bug?
Is there any official method or recommended command to permanently remove such residual entries from this list?
Thank you very much for your help and clarifications.
