USB Audio Input Blocked When Screen Mirroring via AirPlay
Hello Apple Developers, I am experiencing an issue where USB audio input (e.g., external USB microphone) is blocked when using AirPlay screen mirroring from my iPhone to a Mac or Apple TV. However, the built-in microphone continues to work without any problem. Issue Details: I am using an iPhone 15 (or latest device) running iOS [your iOS version]. I connect a USB audio interface/microphone via a USB-C adapter or Lightning adapter. The USB microphone works perfectly for audio input before starting AirPlay. The moment I enable AirPlay screen mirroring, the USB microphone stops working, and it disappears from available audio input sources. The built-in microphone continues to function, but I cannot use the USB microphone while mirroring. When I stop screen mirroring, the USB microphone immediately becomes available again. Expected Behavior: I would expect iOS to allow me to continue using an external USB microphone while mirroring my screen, just like it allows the built-in microphone to work. Questions: Is this an intentional restriction in iOS? Is there any workaround to enable USB audio input while using AirPlay screen mirroring? Is there a way to request a feature or configuration option to allow external USB microphones during AirPlay? I appreciate any insights or guidance from the Apple team or fellow developers. Thanks in advance! Best regards,

Camera's settings at calibration time
Hi everyone, I am wondering under which settings the camera(s) were set by the time they were calibrated. For instance, one aspect that is easy to find is the reference resolution of the images taken when calibrating the intrinsics, this is by retrieving intrinsicMatrixReferenceDimensions. Making sure that the principal point is referenced to the by the time resolution used when the calibration was ongoing. However, recently I saw that there are focusing modes that potentially displace the lens' physical position. Settings like: AutoFocusRangeRestriction: none, near, far setFocusModeLocked: Locks the lens position at the specified value, and sets the focus mode to a locked state. My concern lies the impact this focusing lens displacements have on the intrinsic matrix parameters, if the lens is displaced, these parameters no longer describe the camera since the lens position has changed w.r.t. the lensPosition set when they were calibrated [0-1]. If my understanding is correct the AutoFocusRangeRestriction is just a range freedom the system is allowed to auto-focus and not a specific lens position. Conversely, the setFocusModeLocked does indeed fix the lensPosition to a certain value [0 - 1]. In simple words, what is the focus lensPosition the cameras were set when calibrating them for intrnisics?

Request Apple enterprise account renewal failure solution
We are a technical team of a large enterprise whose main business depends on internally developed iOS applications. Our Apple enterprise developer account expires on February 16th, and we filled in the renewal application form before that, but it was rejected by Apple. We contacted the Apple consultant through Apple's official website, and they said that the enterprise department is a separate department, and they could not solve my problem. Later, after efforts, I directly contacted the email address of the enterprise department, and I explained our situation. After their review, the final plan still could not renew, but only extended the use of our P12 certificate, and the maximum extension was one year in the end, so that we can deal with the application that is being distributed by the enterprise as soon as possible. May I ask if there is any better way to successfully renew my account? We only extended the certificate, which is not what we want, but this is the only way at present. If there is a good way to communicate, please check my personal information and have my email address for communication. Thank you all

Carplay - Low Fuel Suggestions
Dear Developers, I am wondering if there is a way to build on the current "Low Fuel" notification. Currently, if my low fuel light activates while Carplay is on, a low fuel notification is also sent to my phone. If the car can communicate this, can it also communicate mileage range? This way, if I'm in the middle of a route and the low fuel light engages, Carplay could suggest the nearest gas stations on the route within the remaining mileage range. Any information would be very helpful!

Random Apple ID Accounts
Recently, I have decided to delete all my Twitter accounts, but it turns out an Apple ID was used for one of them, I am unable to delete this account due to that fact because I do not have access to the “email” required. Twitter support says contact email provider, given that I used an Apple ID as the email, am I supposed to contact Apple support instead?

Fitbit Google login Issue in WKWebView
I’m developing an app that has a Fitbit login page embedded in a WKWebView. On the Fitbit login page, there is a Google login button. When I try to log in to Fitbit via Google, some devices redirect back to the Fitbit login page even after entering the correct Google credentials. However, it works on the second attempt. I tested the same URL in the default browser, and it works fine when the page is loaded in the browser instead of inside the WebView. I tried the following workarounds but was unable to fix the issue: 1. Enabled JavaScript in WebView. 2. Tried cookie synchronization between WKWebsiteDataStore and HTTPCookieStorage.

iOS 18.1-18.3 Bluetooth is not working (infinity restarting)
The Bluetooth on my iPhone 14 hasn’t been working for a week now. Everything was fine until, at some point, it started endlessly turning on and off by itself. I’ve tried resetting the settings, doing a hard reset, updating to iOS 18.3—none of these helped. I even deleted all VPN profiles just in case (I saw this suggested on forums), but that didn’t work either. According to forums, this bug has existed since September and affects thousands of people. The constant cycling causes the Bluetooth settings to freeze. Please help! My watch, headphones, car—everything has turned into a pumpkin!

MacOS sometimes not asking for password after sleep when close lid
Sometimes, when I close the lid using the MacOs version Sequoia 15.2, with the configuration to require a password for 5 seconds, the system does not ask for the password as expected. This happens sometimes even though nothing preventing the system from sleeping when you close and open the lid, but it still seems like a security concern. Is there some known issue related to this problem or a way to avoid it? Result of command pmset -g: Configuration:

I can't register in to the Developer account.
I have tried everything. Different addresses, different credit cards, then it appears pending, but the credit card is never charged and then it "resets", meaning I can do the whole process again as if nothing had happened. I have already sent an email to Apple and I have not had a response either. How can I move forward? Some help. Greetings!

First App for Mac (Memory Pro) Node-Based Diagram
Greetings Apple Communithy, Caraveo here, I am attempting to create an node-based diagram app... this is my first app. I am want to create an app that will help me personally organize my career, ideas, and projects. Its a document based app.... that allows users to store files into a .memory extension. For example users will be able to create a file called "myBook.memory" I am attempting to create a work-flow where users can "clone" files into each node. PDFs, Documents, Audio, Video, Media, etc. They can then just work with their .memory file and share it, back it up, manage it... To me this is very important..... it will help me immensely... its a new super simple way to manage your ideas. Please learn more here.... MemoryProApp.com I need a co-coder, alpha testers, and anyone that is interested in working on this project. I am having issues with the file attachements and the documentation saving is failing on me for some reason. Thank you everyone!

How to Restrict In-App Purchases to a Specific User Email or Differentiate Users?
Hello, I am implementing In-App Purchases in my app and want to ensure that only users whose email matches their Apple ID email (the account used on the device as apple account) can purchase the subscription. Is it possible to retrieve the Apple ID email from the device or verify if the email matches the user's email in the app? If this is not feasible, what is the recommended approach to differentiate users and associate subscriptions with specific users in a secure way? For instance, how do I ensure that a subscription is tied to the correct user within my app? I understand privacy constraints, but I am trying to find the best way to match the subscription to the correct user while adhering to Apple's guidelines. Any guidance or best practices would be appreciated. Thank you!
