How can I start developing my first game with Xcode and Reality Composer Pro on my own? 🎛️
Hello everyone!! 😊🤗 I'm starting to learn development for Apple platforms and I'd like to ask for some guidance on how to get started. My goal is to gradually develop my own video game using Xcode and Reality Composer Pro. The idea is to create an educational game with 3D environments and elements, so I also want to learn programming, experience design, and 3D content creation as I progress ⭐️ At the moment, I don't have much money to afford to hire developers to mentor me or take expensive courses 😔( My mother is sick and all our resources and budget are focused on her and her treatment. ) but I do have something I think is very important: a strong desire to learn, time, and the willingness to study and practice. I don't expect someone else to do the project for me; I want to learn how to build it myself. My main question is: where should I begin? I already have experience playing Swift Playgrounds, and I find it fascinating 🤩 but I'm looking for the next step: I'd like to know what Apple concepts, courses, documentation, or resources you would recommend I study first to learn how to use Xcode and Reality Composer Pro correctly, especially with the Apple Developer tutorials. Which videos specifically do you recommend I study? If anyone started in a similar way or has experience developing apps or games with these tools, I would greatly appreciate any advice on a learning path. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any guidance you can give me! You truly don't know what this means to me. Thank you so much. 🙏🚀

macOS 27 RC: Query text disappears in new Siri-integrated Spotlight when results update
I’m seeing a reproducible UI bug with Spotlight on macOS 27 RC (26A428). The issue has been present since at least build 26A5416b (Developer Beta 6 / Public Beta 4), persisted through subsequent beta releases, and is still reproducible on RC 26A428. When I open Spotlight using the new Search or Ask interface and begin typing, the entered query text can become completely invisible from approximately the second character onward, even though Spotlight continues searching and displaying results normally. The interesting part is that the issue seems tied to Spotlight updating its search results. For example: Open Spotlight. Type a character that quickly matches something on the Mac. Continue typing. Once the results update, the query text becomes invisible. If I type random characters extremely quickly, before Spotlight has time to return a result for the first few characters, the text may remain visible. Another useful detail: after the query text disappears, pressing Delete/Backspace causes it to become visible again. The search itself is still functioning, the problem appears to be with rendering or state updates in the new Siri-integrated Spotlight query field, rather than with Spotlight search/indexing itself. I have reproduced this on macOS 27 RC build 26A428, including: a newly created macOS user account Safe Mode so it does not appear to be caused by user preferences, caches, login items, or third-party software. I submitted a screen recording through Feedback Assistant that clearly shows the text disappearing as results update. Feedback: FB24462893 Is anyone else seeing this on the RC? The correlation between the text disappearing and the results UI updating makes me suspect a rendering/state-update issue in the new Spotlight interface.

Stripe and search bar not working.
Hello, My app Printopia just made it to the App Store and by the looks of it I can’t search for it. I have to click on the link every time. Also the stripe gateway stopped working and I can’t add my bank account details when signing as a seller.

System-wide scrolling screenshots / “Capture More” on iOS — FB24804559
I submitted enhancement request FB24804559 for a system-wide scrolling screenshot feature in iOS. The idea is a “Capture More” option after taking a screenshot, similar to Android. iOS would continue capturing while scrolling, and the user could choose the exact endpoint. Ideally, this should work in any scrollable app where technically possible and save the result as one long image. This would be especially useful for Messages, Mail, Settings, social media, lists and other scrollable content.

Notice of Terminal shell change to zsh appeared on OS26.6.2 Suspicious?
Hi, I understand that users of mac OS 10 were notified that the Terminal default-shell had changed from Bash to zsh. I have not seen that message since. However, my current MacBookPro running OS26.6.2 has just popped up that old message: Last login: Tue Sep 15 17:42:23 on ttys000 The default interactive shell is now zsh. To update your account to use zsh, please run chsh -s /bin/zsh. For more details, please visit https://support.apple.com/kb/HT208050.

Apple Developer Program enrollment stuck over 1 year — Case ID: 102718117149 — request written status update
Dear Apple Developer Support, I submitted an Apple Developer Program enrollment (current Case ID: 102718117149). It has now been over a year. I have never reached the payment step, never received a rejection, and have never been asked to provide any additional materials. Contact history on file for this Case: Oct 9, 2025: Called Apple Developer Support Oct 16, 2025: Emailed Sep 7, 2026: Called Sep 8, 2026: Called and emailed Sep 11, 2026: Called again (advisor confirmed escalated to operations team — no substantive conclusion since) Current status at developer.apple.com/account: [填你页面现在显示的原话] After a full year with zero substantive feedback, I am formally requesting: The exact internal step where this application is blocked (identity verification / address review / region attribute / risk control / other). A complete list of what I need to provide — once, clearly, so I'm not guessing through repeated calls. Escalation to a supervisor or lead, with a written conclusion within 5–7 business days. If this cannot proceed, issue a formal rejection with the reason. I accept the conclusion — I just need to know why so I can reapply correctly. I am not asking for special treatment. I need one clear answer — what to supplement, approve, or reject — not another "please keep waiting." Phone: +86 15870012009 Best regards

Booting from an External SSD
I have a Mac Mini M4 with an LG 32" monitor. I have a 1 TB external SSD that I want to run Golden Gate beta. I was running both Sonoma on the M4 and Sonoma beta on the EHD. For some reason, maybe the beta required or did a firmware update, the M4 crashed with an amber light. Had to take the M4 into a Genius Bar to get reset. If I run Golden Gate on an EHD is there a possibility that I might run into a firmware issue? Is that possible? Any comments on the above and any tips on installing Golden Gate on the EHD? OT

Help with developer account
I am facing a major roadblock trying to publish our esports platform, eGame Arena. My developer account enrollment has been stuck "In Review" for an extended period, and the system is completely frozen on the identity verification step.I have already completed all the requested steps, uploaded the official government-issued ID, and filled out the required information through the Apple Developer App. However, I have never received any confirmation email stating whether the identity verification was accepted, rejected, or if additional documents are needed.When checking my account status on the web portal, it simply displays a pending verification message with no action items or options to retry the submission. I have opened multiple support cases but only received automated responses, and our public launch schedule is heavily delayed because of this.Has anyone found a reliable way to force a re-upload, clear this stuck status, or successfully escalate an identity verification delay to a senior specialist?Any advice would be highly appreciated. Thank you.

Walkie-Talkie app missing in watchOS 27 beta
While testing the watchOS 27 beta, I noticed that the standalone Walkie-Talkie app has been removed from the system. Walkie-Talkie has always been a great, lightweight way to stay connected. Much like Digital Touch, it’s one of those quick, low-friction features that makes the watch feel uniquely personal for communication throughout the day. I am really hoping its absence is just a temporary beta omission rather than a permanent retirement of the feature. I have already submitted a request via Feedback Assistant asking the engineering team to consider keeping it in the final release. If you also rely on this app for quick wrist-to-wrist updates, I highly recommend submitting your own feedback ticket to let the team know there is still an active user base for it. (FB23040695) Has anyone else ran into this or found an official note from Apple regarding its removal in the release notes? Hopefully, we will see it return before the public release this fall. Over and out!

Spring Loaded Folders seem broken in MacOS 27 RC
In previous versions of macOS, I could drag a file from another application, such as an attachment in Mail, onto the Finder icon in the Dock. Finder would then expose available Finder windows, allowing me to continue holding the dragged file, move into the desired Finder window, navigate through folders using spring-loaded folder behavior, and ultimately drop the file into a nested destination. Are others seeing this?

Display discomfort on stable iOS/macOS releases, but not on beta versions—what could explain this?
Hi folks, I experience nausea and visual discomfort when looking at the screens on my Apple devices. However, I’ve noticed that this discomfort goes away when I switch to beta versions of iOS or macOS. While trying to narrow down the cause, I found that the following changes also eliminate my symptoms on the stable release of macOS: On my MacBook Pro, changing the display preset from “Apple XDR Display (P3-1600 nits)” to “Apple Display (P3-600 nits).” On my MacBook Air (M5, 15-inch), changing the color profile from “Color LCD” to “Display P3.” These observations make me wonder whether the issue could be related to gamma curves or how colors and brightness are rendered, though I’m not sure. On my iPhone, I haven’t found any display settings that provide similar relief. So far, switching to an iOS beta has been the only thing that helps. Has anyone experienced something similar? Could any display experts or Apple engineers offer insight into what might explain this, or suggest settings I could test? Thanks!

Retreiving app analytics
Gidday I hope that I have posted this in the correct thread. We have had an app developed on behalf of a not-for-profit organisation that I volunteer with, and part of my role is to report every month on the total number of installations for this app. Previously, I have been able to log on to "App Store Connect" and select the app, then Analytics and on the right-hand side of the page, the date range for the life of the app. Then it would show me the total number of installations for the app's life. Can anyone out there show me how to go about this now, considering that the total date range has been removed or am I missing this entirely?
