I’m seeing inconsistent UISegmentedControl background-color behavior on certain devices running iOS 26. The same code works as expected on other devices and iOS versions, but on affected devices the control does not display the assigned backgroundColor. The issue occurs using standard UIKit colors and does not depend on custom fonts, images, or appearance extensions. Here is a simplified example using only public UIKit APIs: private let segmentedControl = UISegmentedControl(items: ["Card", "Email"]) private func setupSegmentedControl() { segmentedControl.selectedSegmentIndex = 0 guard let cardIcon = UIImage( systemName: "creditcard.fill", withConfiguration: UIImage.SymbolConfiguration( pointSize: 14, weight: .semibold ) ), let emailIcon = UIImage( systemName: "envelope.fill", withConfiguration: UIImage.SymbolConfiguration( pointSize: 14, weight: .semibold ) ) else { return } segmentedControl.setImage( cardIcon, forSegmentAt: 0 ) segmentedControl.setImage( emailIcon, forSegmentAt: 1 ) segmentedControl.backgroundColor = .systemGray5 segmentedControl.selectedSegmentTintColor = .systemBlue segmentedControl.layer.cornerRadius = 8 segmentedControl.clipsToBounds = true let font = UIFont.systemFont( ofSize: 14, weight: .medium ) segmentedControl.setTitleTextAttributes( [ .foregroundColor: UIColor.label, .font: font ], for: .normal ) segmentedControl.setTitleTextAttributes( [ .foregroundColor: UIColor.white, .font: font ], for: .selected ) segmentedControl.addTarget( self, action: #selector(segmentChanged(_:)), for: .valueChanged ) view.addSubview(segmentedControl) } @objc private func segmentChanged( _ sender: UISegmentedControl ) { print("Selected segment: \(sender.selectedSegmentIndex)") } UISegmentedControl Apple Documentation

Our app crashes when compiled with the iOS 27 beta 3 SDK and run as an iOS app on Mac, on both macOS 26 and macOS 27, as soon as a UISearchBar receives focus.

I’m seeing a regression in Xcode 26.4 where Interface Builder will not allow connecting IBOutlets or IBActions. Symptoms: The usual gutter circle/dot does not appear next to IBOutlet / IBAction in the code editor Because of this, I cannot: drag from storyboard → code drag from code → storyboard The class is valid and already connected to the storyboard (existing outlets work) Assistant Editor opens the correct view controller file Important: The exact same project, unchanged, works perfectly in Xcode 26.3. I can create and connect outlets/actions normally there. ⸻ Environment Xcode: 26.4 macOS: 26.4 Mac Mini M4 Pro 64G Ram Project: Objective-C UIKit app using Storyboards This is a long-running, ObjC, project (not newly created) ⸻ What I’ve already tried To rule out the usual suspects: Verified View Controller Custom Class is correctly set in Identity Inspector Verified files are in the correct Target Membership Verified outlets are declared correctly in the .h file: @property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UILabel *exampleLabel; Opened correct file manually (not relying on Automatic Assistant) Tried both: storyboard → code drag code → storyboard drag Tried using Connections Inspector Clean Build Folder Deleted entire DerivedData Restarted Xcode Updated macOS to 26.4 Ran: sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch Confirmed required platform components installed Reopened project fresh ⸻ Observations In Xcode 26.4 the outlet “connection circles” are completely missing In Xcode 26.3 they appear immediately for the same code Existing connections still function at runtime — this is purely an Interface Builder issue ⸻ Question The gutter circles appearance has always been flaky in Xcode over the 13+ years I've been using it but now with 26.4 they have completely disappeared. Has anyone else seen this in Xcode 26.4, or found a workaround? At this point it looks like a regression in Interface Builder, but I haven’t found any mention of it yet.

Hi. I was trying to enroll apple developer program, but after uploading my ID I was told to contact apple developer support. I reached out the support and they told me my ID is not sufficient for some reason and I have to re-upload it. When i tried to do so it wouldn't allow me and telling me to contact apple support. I tried to arrange a call but after 1 day waiting on one is picking up. So basically I'm stuck in a loop that I have no idea what to do. The case ID: 20000134414907. If any apple staff seeing this please help. Thank you!

Is there any supported API for a third party app to access live audio from a call it isn't itself carrying?

I’ve been trying to get this app through App Review for more than two months now. It was rejected a few times before. I changed what Apple asked me to change and submitted it again each time. The current version has now been sitting in Waiting for Review for quite a while and nothing is happening. I’m actually not very familiar with the App Store review process, so I’m not sure how long Waiting for Review is supposed to take. Do I just leave it there and wait? Or should I submit it again? I’m also wondering if I need to create a new submission / new ID at this point. I don’t want to keep changing things if that just sends me back to the beginning of the queue. The whole thing has already been going on for more than two months, so I’m a bit lost on what I’m supposed to do now. Has anyone run into this before?

After updating my iOS and xcode to latest iOS 27 beta5 and xcode 27 beta5 all the system language model session calls with tool calls inclusion throwing Unrecognized system-instruction prefix ID: com.apple.fm_api.tool_calls_override error. The same code was working perfectly in iOS27 beta 4. Even the apple sample project OrigamiCraftingADynamicTutorialForAppleIntelligence failing with the same error when tool calls invoked. Anybody else facing similar issue or any workaround for this issue? sample code: struct GetRecordNotesTool: Tool { let name = "getRecordNotes" let description = "Fetches internal notes and returns Note_Title and Note_Content for up to 10 notes." @Generable struct Arguments { @Guide(description: "The API name of the module, e.g. Companies or Contacts") var module_api_name: String @Guide(description: "The unique record ID to fetch notes for") var record_id: String } func call(arguments: Arguments) async throws -> String { return "Fetched content" } }

Apple's 8 June 2026 announcement states that developers in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features in their apps for iOS 27, iPadOS 27 or watchOS 27. I am an EU-based developer building apps for users in multiple markets. App Intents Testing, simulator checks and unit tests can validate parts of an implementation, but they do not appear to replace end-to-end validation of Siri AI behaviour on supported iPhone and iPad hardware. What is Apple's supported route for an EU-based developer to validate the following for users in supported markets? • intent discovery and invocation • parameter resolution and follow-up interaction • error handling and confirmation flows • Siri's presentation and completion of an action • behaviour on supported physical devices Is an official remote-device environment, controlled developer testing mode or another Apple-supported arrangement available or planned? I am not asking for a way to bypass regional restrictions. I am looking for documented, compliant testing guidance for developers serving a global App Store. I have filed Feedback Assistant report FB24276767 about this testing-access issue. Apple source: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/06/due-to-dma-siri-ai-delayed-in-eu-for-ios-27-and-ipados-27/

We are experiencing issues during extended automated test executions on iOS devices. During long-duration test runs that involve a high volume of interactions with the device under test, the socket connection is unexpectedly terminated. When this occurs, the automation session is disrupted and the test run fails. We would like to better understand the root cause of this behavior and determine whether it is related to the automation framework, the underlying iOS platform, or another system-level constraint. We have the following questions: Are there any iOS security mechanisms or system protections that may be triggered after a high number of automated interactions, resulting in the termination of an active socket connection? Does iOS impose any runtime limitations, session timeouts, resource restrictions, or inactivity thresholds that could impact long-running automation sessions? Are there any known conditions under which iOS may terminate or reset socket connections during extended periods of intensive device interaction? Any guidance on troubleshooting steps, relevant system logs, or known platform limitations would be greatly appreciated.

I am investigating an issue involving sysctlbyname("hw.machine", ...) that became observable after moving to iOS/iPadOS 27. The affected legacy code is essentially the following: void getPlatform(unsigned char machine[]) { size_t size; sysctlbyname("hw.machine", machine, &size, NULL, 0); for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) { if (machine[i] == ',') { machine[i] = '.'; } } } The caller provides a zero-initialized fixed-size buffer: unsigned char machine[20] = {0}; getPlatform(machine); I understand that this implementation is incorrect because size is not initialized. When oldp is non-NULL, oldlenp must provide the available size of the buffer. A correct implementation would therefore initialize it, for example: void getPlatform(unsigned char *machine, size_t capacity) { size_t size = capacity; if (sysctlbyname("hw.machine", machine, &size, NULL, 0) != 0) return; for (size_t i = 0; i < size; i++) { if (machine[i] == ',') machine[i] = '.'; } } with: unsigned char machine[20] = {0}; getPlatform(machine, sizeof(machine)); The question is not whether the original implementation is valid. It clearly relies on an uninitialized value and should be corrected. What I am trying to understand is why the issue became observable specifically on iOS/iPadOS 27, and whether there has been any related implementation or documentation change. Using LLDB, I inspected the arguments at the entry to: sysctlbyname("hw.machine", machine, &size, NULL, 0); Because size is uninitialized, the value referenced by oldlenp varies depending on the contents of the stack location. For example, I observed a call where: *oldlenp = 0 The call then returned: return = -1 errno = 12 (ENOMEM) and the output buffer remained empty. In another execution, the same uninitialized stack location happened to contain a very large value. In that case sysctlbyname() succeeded and returned the expected hardware identifier: iPhone18,2 Adding unrelated code such as printf() can also change whether the original implementation succeeds, which is consistent with the uninitialized value being affected by changes in stack/register layout. There is also a second issue I would like clarification on regarding the documented behavior of oldlenp. The current documentation states that when the amount of data is greater than the value supplied through oldlenp, the function updates it to the required size and returns ENOMEM. It also states: The function doesn’t modify the value if it’s larger than or equal to the amount of available data. However, this does not match what I observed at runtime. For example, in one successful call I observed: Before sysctlbyname(): *oldlenp = 4301365248 The value was clearly much larger than required. After the call returned successfully: return = 0 machine = "iPhone18,2" *oldlenp = actual returned data length In other words, oldlenp was modified on a successful call even though the input value was already much larger than the amount of data being returned. I would appreciate clarification on the following: Was there any implementation change to sysctlbyname(), sysctl(), or the handling of oldlenp in iOS/iPadOS 27? Have there been changes in compiler/runtime behavior on iOS/iPadOS 27 that could make this type of existing uninitialized-variable bug surface more consistently? Is the documented statement that oldlenp is not modified when the supplied value is sufficiently large still accurate for sysctlbyname() on current iOS versions? Has the documentation or intended contract for oldlenp changed recently? Have other developers observed ENOMEM from existing sysctlbyname() code after updating to iOS/iPadOS 27? Again, I understand that the original code is incorrect and should initialize oldlenp before calling sysctlbyname(). The part I am trying to clarify is whether iOS/iPadOS 27 introduced any behavioral change that exposed this latent bug, and whether the currently documented successful-call behavior of oldlenp matches the actual implementation.

how do i get it back? I am the developer of it and for several years it was on the App Store I is my copy and has vast amount of information in it that i value

Hi, Feedback ID - FB24176019 I am investigating a Sign in with Apple issue affecting my production application and would appreciate guidance on what Apple may be rejecting during the token exchange. The authorization stage succeeds and Apple returns an authorization code to our callback. The failure occurs when the authorization code is exchanged at: https://appleid.apple.com/auth/token The production OAuth implementation uses Better Auth 1.6.13. Apple configuration: Primary App ID / Bundle ID: com.whatsupplier.uk Services ID / client_id: com.whatsupplier.uk.signin Registered return URL: https://www.whatsupp.uk/api/auth/callback/apple We have checked the client secret JWT and confirmed: alg = ES256 kid matches the active Apple key iss matches our Apple Team ID sub = com.whatsupplier.uk.signin aud = https://appleid.apple.com iat/exp are valid the JWT signature verifies locally against the configured Apple private key the signature is P1363/raw r||s rather than ASN.1 DER the private key is EC / prime256v1 the redirect_uri exactly matches the registered return URL the token request uses application/x-www-form-urlencoded The unusual behaviour is reproducible: The real Better Auth token exchange reaches Apple's /auth/token endpoint but Apple responds: HTTP 400 error: invalid_client We created a diagnostic request directly to the same Apple token endpoint using the same configured credentials and a deliberately invalid authorization code. Apple responds: HTTP 400 error: invalid_grant "The code has expired or has been revoked." This indicates Apple accepts the client credentials/JWT in the direct request and proceeds as far as validating the authorization code. We also performed an A/B test using the exact same generated client-secret JWT: Test A: grant_type code redirect_uri client_id client_secret Result: invalid_grant Test B: grant_type code redirect_uri client_id client_secret code_verifier Result: invalid_grant Therefore code_verifier alone does not change Apple's classification. We then captured the observable shape of the real Better Auth token request and compared it with a direct request. The client_id, redirect_uri, grant_type, client-secret JWT claims, URLSearchParams/form encoding and absence of an Authorization header were consistent. Despite this, the real framework-generated exchange returns invalid_client while the direct diagnostic request is accepted at the client-authentication stage and returns invalid_grant. Could Apple advise what additional property of the token request could cause this difference in classification? In particular, is there any server-side state or request characteristic used by Sign in with Apple that could cause an otherwise valid client_secret to be classified as invalid_client only during the real authorization-code exchange? I have also prepared detailed diagnostic evidence and can submit the requested sensitive request information through Feedback Assistant rather than posting JWTs, authorization codes, or other credentials publicly. Thank you.

The iOS 26 sample below speaks well on iPhone/iPad devices and the iOS simulator. But it does not speak on "Mac (Designed for iPad)", with a voice downloaded via the macOS settings. Instead it issues this warning : Invalid maui voice identifier com.apple.voice.enhanced.en-US.Samantha How to make an iOS app speak on "Mac (Designed for iPad)", with a downloaded voice ?
