I have two feedbacks now where I’ve been requested additional info, and provided it, but the feedback still has an “unread” dot, and is still in the “Requests” folder. I’ve asked multiple times to clear this status in one of those feedbacks (FB14888965), but got no response.
Not the end of the world as long as the engineers are notified, but iirc the dot would disappear as soon as I replied.

I'm exploring using a handful of frameworks to share code between macOS apps. However, one of these frameworks needs privilege to function. The main app has a helper tool utilizing SMAppService. However, I can't work out if there's a feasible way to use that helper tool to support the framework dependency. Should I be creating a second helper tool for the framework instead? Or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks!
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out the behavior of AssetPackManager.shared.remove(assetPackWithID: ).
I'm working with MapKit tiles and currently working on trying projecting them correctly which involves serving the AssetPack locally, downloading, checking alignment, and then deleting and changing.
My question is that remove(assetPackWithID: ) completes successfully and the asset pack is removed. This is confirmed by trying to remove the AssetPack again which throws an error.
However, the asset is still appearing on MapKit after the removal. This is a bit odd as this persists not only with force killing, but also restarting the device.
Please advise on how to properly remove an AssetPack.
Thank you

I was just having a look at some crash reports downloaded by Xcode, and I noticed the same wrong pattern I already mentioned here: the crash reports indicate that method A calls method B, which is impossible.
In the first crash report below, method MainViewController.showSettings seems to be called by ConfirmMoveViewController.openSourceInFinder, which is impossible. ConfirmMoveViewController.openSourceInFinder is a context menu action in a modal window, and MainViewController.showSettings is in a completely different window and the two methods have no relation whatsoever.
In the second crash report below, MainViewController.setSortMode is triggered by the press of a button (and nothing else) but seems to be called by OtherViewController.copy that can be triggered by a context menu (or keyboard shortcut). The two methods have no relation whatsoever. The rest of the stack trace confirm that it's indeed the button that was pressed.
This seems to me like a quite serious bug in how macOS creates crash reports.

For example, what if I wanted to remove CoreData from the SDK when I install to reduce the SDK’s size?
I'm unable to sign in to Feedback Assistant on macOS. I have two Apple accounts and neither will sign in. I am able to sign in via the website. With the desktop app I'm getting a rather generic error message:

Subject: Assistance Needed with Enabling Speech Recognition Entitlement for iOS App
Hi everyone,
I’m seeking guidance regarding the Speech Recognition entitlement for my iOS app using Capacitor. Our App and we submitted a request to Apple Developer Support four days ago, but have not yet received a response.
🧩 Summary of the issue:
Our app uses the Capacitor speech recognition plugin (@capacitor-community/speech-recognition) to listen for native voice input on iOS.
We have added both of the required keys in Info.plist:
NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription
NSMicrophoneUsageDescription
We previously had a duplicate microphone key, which caused the system to silently skip the permission request. After removing the duplicate, we did briefly see the microphone permission prompt appear.
However, in our most recent builds, the app launches without any prompts, even on a fresh install. The plugin reports:
available = true
permissionStatus = granted
Despite this, no speech input is ever received, and the listener returns nothing.
We believe the app is functioning correctly at a code level (plugin loads, no errors, correct Info.plist), but suspect the missing Speech Recognition entitlement is blocking actual access to the speech system.
🔎 What we need help with:
How can we confirm whether the Speech Recognition entitlement is enabled for our App ID?
If it’s not enabled, is there a way to escalate or re-submit the request? Our app is currently stuck until this entitlement is granted.
Thank you for your time and any guidance you can offer!

But after downgrading the version to 16.2 it works fine. I can't understand that it's their any issue with Command Line Tools 16.3??
hey I accidentally deleted my info.plist with holds my app version and other critical things and I don't know how to get it back or how to recode it

I'm trying to download the iOS 26 restore image for my iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is my test device. However, when I attempted to install it directly via the over-the-air (OTA) update, the iPhone rebooted to the iOS 26 "Welcome" screen, but with no touch functionality—the screen was completely unresponsive.
I restored the device back to iOS 18.5 and tried the OTA update again, but once more, the touch screen stopped working upon completion.
Now, I am trying to download the iOS 26 restore image from the official developer page (https://developer.apple.com/download/#ios-restore-images-ipad-new) to install it manually using my Mac. However, I've run into a problem with the download links:
The link for the iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 26) restore image actually downloads the iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 18.5) image.
Conversely, the link for the iPhone 14 Pro seems to provide the correct iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 26) image.
The issue is that when I try to restore my iPhone using this seemingly correct file, I receive an error that the firmware file is not valid or compatible. I suspect it's not being properly signed by Apple for my device during the restore process.
Does anyone have the correct, official download link for the iOS 26 restore image for the iPhone 14 Pro Max? How can I fix these errors?
I have created and Ios app using xojo, and run using the Xcode simulator. I want to test it on my phone and don't seed to put it on the app store as it is for personal use. I've seen pages that indicate a free apple developer option is available for a limited time but can't for the live of me get my app to actually run on my phone. I've tried both apple configurator and xcode to add my app with no luck
I have one iOS device running iOS 16.7.10. When I run xcrun devicectl list devices I can't see that device at all. Is that know limitation (devicectl only work in iOS 17 and above) or is something wrong with my setup.
Also is there some documention about devicectl. I can't seem to find anything about in the offical apple sites.

I just noticed that when you check the online documentation for Foundation using the delicious Objective-C flavor, some values are no more the expected ones:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/filemanager/copyitem(at:to:)?language=objc#return-value
true if the item was copied successfully or the file manager’s delegate stopped the operation deliberately. Returns false if an error occurred.
Considering that a BOOL used to be YES or NO for the last quarter of a century, I have the following question:
[Q] What is the idea behind the disturbing changes of the Objective-C documentation?
Hi everyone,
We’re testing the new iOS 26 capability, Performing Fast Account Creation with Passkeys, using the sample project provided here: Performing Fast Account Creation with Passkeys.
When running the project on the iOS 26 simulator and tapping the "Sign Up" button, we encounter the following error:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError error 1010.)
From the header file, this error is described as:
/// ASAuthorizationError.h
/// This error signals that the device is not currently set up to create passkeys.
ASAuthorizationErrorDeviceNotConfiguredForPasskeyCreation AS_API_AVAILABLE(ios(19.0), macos(16.0), visionos(3.0)) = 1010,
We’ve tested this on both Xcode 26 Beta 1 and Beta 2, and the error persists on the simulator in both versions.
However, when testing on a physical iOS 26 device, everything works as expected, just like in the WWDC demo.
Could this issue be related to missing simulator settings? Or is it a potential bug in the simulator? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
For my app Find Any File, of which both releases and TestFlight betas were released many times, the TestFlight page tells me that several users have submitted crash reports. And I'm sure the same is true for the MAS releases:
(Yes, this shows quite recent ones, but I've seen similar supposed crash report submits in this list before.)
However, the actual "Crashes" listing on the appstoreconnect sites hasn't show any new crash reports for many months now:
(This is the entirety of crash reports I can get listed, even when removing all filters.)
Something appears to be stuck, on Apple's end.
The same issue is with Xcode's Organanizer window, for "Crashes": It also used to list only the same very old reports and nothing since May 2024. And just now, when I retried this in Xcode, I'm shown a weird error message I never saw before:
Error Downloading Crashes List
An error occurred… Access Restricted with adam id: 1207815783
And yes, I'm logged in just fine, under Prefs / Accounts.
How am I going to get this investigated? I had already sent an email about this to the Review team, who didn't react to it at all. DTS is only for Code level support, which this isn't.
Any help?
I have an Xcode project setup as follows:
3 static libraries
1 framework target, whose Mach-O type is set to Dynamic Library
main app target (iOS app)
The target dependencies are as follows:
In framework's build phase [Link with libraries], I have the 3 libs statically linked.
In the main app's build phase [Link with libraries], I have only the framework, which is dynamically linked.
As per my understanding:
The libs are statically linked to the framework. So, the framework binary would contain code from all the libs.
The framework is dynamically linked to the main app (iOS app in this case). So, the main app's binary only has a reference to the framework's binary, which would be loaded in the memory at runtime.
Assuming my understanding is correct, I'm stuck with the following problem:
All 3 libs build successfully
The framework builds successfully
The main app target doesn't build. The compilation is successful, but the build fails with linker errors.
Please let me know if I am doing something incorrectly, or if a configuration is missing. Below are more details:
The linker gives the following error:
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
"StringUtils.GetStr() -> Swift.String", referenced from:

I've been messing around with converting my app icons to use Icon Composer. My app has multiple app icons, but I've noticed that I cant seem to set .icon files using the alternate app icon api. I believe this is due to the requirement that alternate app icons live in the Assets Catalogue but .icon files go anywhere in your project. Is there any plan to support this? Or am i missing something?
I was able to successfully set a .icon file for the primary app icon.
Hello,
I'm checking to see if anyone else is experiencing an issue downloading the latest beta simulator.
When I try to download the iOS 26 beta 5 simulator in Xcode, the download fails instantly. There is no progress, just an immediate error with no message other than the code itself: DVTDownloadableErrorDomain Code: 41.
I've already restarted both Xcode and the Mac multiple times. I have also tried downloading on different networks to rule out a firewall issue.
Up to now I've been building my x64 binaries on Sequioa specifying a target macOS level of 13.4. That worked fine.
In an attempt to debug a problem that was causing some pain I created a 13.4 x64 build environment and tried to build the code there.
This code:
using CacheKeyType = std::filesystem::path;
using CacheValueType = std::tuple<LoadedImage, int, bool>; // <image, lastUse, currentlyLoading>
using CacheType = std::unordered_map<CacheKeyType, CacheValueType>;
friend class ThreadLoader;
static inline constexpr int16_t MAXIMAGESINCACHE = 20;
static inline constinit std::atomic_int age{ 0 };
static inline std::shared_mutex rwMutex{};
static inline CacheType imageCache{};
got me the following errors:

Which isn't "mega-helpful" :(
I thought that specifying:
set(CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 13.4 CACHE STRING "Minimum operating system version for deployment" FORCE)
would have made the compilations use the same headers as for Ventura above, but it seems not?
Is this to be expected?
