Hello
So if you use the Bulgarian keyboard, you get these characters:
явертъуиопюасдфгхйклшщзьцжбнмч
This isn’t really right for Bulgaria, because т should look like m, and д should look like g, and other characters should look like rotated or mirrored Latin characters. E.g., г should look like a backwards s.
Compare the Bulgaria Wikipedia page in Bulgarian: https://bg.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%91%D1%8A%D0%BB%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F
with the Bulgaria Wikipedia page in Russian: https://ru.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%91%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B3%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%8F
Notice that the letters are different.
Anyhow, the ios Bulgarian font is just Russian Cyrillic, and that seems like an unintended bug rather than an intentional stylistic choice, basically.

Hello, my submission is based on Haptics. Without it the App doesn't make sense. And only real iPhone can give this opportunity. But it says that Xcode playgrounds will be tested on Simulator.
Is it indeed like this? What can I do?
Thank you in advance!
I am encountering the following issue while working with app group preferences in my Safari web extension:
Couldn't read values in CFPrefsPlistSource<0x3034e7f80> (Domain: [MyAppGroup], User: kCFPreferencesAnyUser, ByHost: Yes, Container: (null), Contents Need Refresh: Yes): Using kCFPreferencesAnyUser with a container is only allowed for System Containers, detaching from cfprefsd.
I am trying to read/write shared preferences using UserDefaults with an App Group but keep running into this error. Any guidance on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated!
Has anyone encountered this before? How can I properly configure my app group preferences to avoid this issue?

We have an app under development which allows musicians to unlock contact details of people who posted about an upcoming event. The musician pays a fees to unlock this contact details.
Both the musician & the post owner are registered users. We will reveal the same contact info that the post owner used for account signup verification.
Questions:
Is this allowed? (given that we obtain consent to share contact info to other people and clearly mention this in privacy policy)
If yes, will we have to use App store in-app purchase to facilitate this transaction or are we free to use a payment processor such as Stripe.

Hello all.
Currently I am trying to get WKWebView to scroll with a physical keyboard and it just will not work. I tried allowsKeyboardScrolling( ) and it did not work. UIWebView works but its no longer supported. Trying to get full keyboard access to work to make our app more accessible but WKWebView does not want to play nice.
Has anyone else had issues trying to use WKWebView with an external keyboard, and if so did you find any solutions? Greatly appreciated!
I'm currently testing the announce notifications feature and I can't seem to find out how to make Siri read aloud the current currency instead of dollars.
My locale is es-CL (Chile). It uses the currency symbol $ and reads as Pesos locally or Chilean Pesos where the number 5000.1 is represented as 5.000,1
This is the notification content
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.body = "¡Has recibido un pago por $5.000!"
Siri reads it aloud as "¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 Dolares!" which translates to "You have received a payment for 5,000 Dollars", instead of the expected "¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 Pesos!" -> "You have received a payment for 5,000 Pesos"
I've tried changing the development region of the app, interpolating the string with NumberFormatter.localizedString(from: 5000, number: .currency), and with others styles( .currencyAccounting, .currencyISOCode and .currencyPlural) without good results. The last one seems to work buts it's not ideal since it outputs "5.000 pesos chilenos" which gets read as "5 pesos chilenos" which is not the correct amount (bug), it's as is you're not on Chile and I personally prefer it to be a symbol instead of words.
I'm testing with my device which is setup with the region "Chile"
Could someone help me find a solution?

I’m experiencing an issue where Siri incorrectly announces currency values in notifications. Instead of reading the local currency correctly, it always reads amounts as US dollars.
Issue details:
My iPhone is set to Region: Chile and Language: Spanish (Chile).
In Chile, the currency symbol $ represents Chilean Pesos (CLP), not US dollars.
A notification with the text:
let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()
content.body = "¡Has recibido un pago por $5.000!"
is read aloud by Siri as:
”¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 dólares!”
(English: “You have received a payment of five thousand dollars!”)
instead of the correct:
”¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 pesos!”
(English: “You have received a payment of five thousand pesos!”)
Another developer already reported the same issue back in 2023, and it remains unresolved: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/723177
This incorrect behavior is not limited to iOS notifications; it also occurs in other Apple services:
watchOS, iPadOS, and macOS (Siri misreads currency values in various system interactions).
Siri’s currency conversion feature misinterprets $ as USD even when the device is set to a region where $ represents a different currency.
Announce Notifications on AirPods also exhibits this issue, making it confusing when Siri announces transaction amounts incorrectly.
Apple Intelligence interactions are also affected—for example, asking Siri to “read my latest emails” when one of them contains a monetary value results in Siri misreading the currency.
I have submitted a bug report via Feedback Assistant, and the Feedback ID is FB16561348.
This issue significantly impacts accessibility and localization for users in regions where the currency symbol $ is not associated with US dollars.
Has anyone found a workaround, or is there any update from Apple on this?

Dear developer team,
After updating to iOS 18.3.1 I noticed the font in the Notes app became too small to read comfortably, and I have already got poor eyesight.
There is no way to increase the font size. When I select my preferred text size through Accessibility settings, it only changes the size of headings in the Notes app but the text remains too small in the note itself. I’m using the IPhone 13.
I googled the issue and seems like other users across the Internet are also unhappy about the lack of ability to change the text size in Notes to suit their comfortable levels.
I hope that this issue will be addressed by developers in the next version of the iOS because the reading size in the standard app can affect health for the tired and diminished eyesight.
Kind regards,
Maria

Hello,
I am a student studying accessibility.
I aim to analyze the smartphone usage patterns of visually impaired individuals.
Therefore, I would like to log the VoiceOver usage records of visually impaired iPhone users.
Is there a way to output VoiceOver logs, similar to the AccessibilityService API on Android?
Thank you in advance for your responses.
The only way I found to make the accessibility focus work correctly in the detent in a fullscreen cover is to apply the focus manually. The issue is in the ContentView the grabber works while in the fullscreen it does not. Is there something I am missing or is this a bug. I also don't understand why I need to apply focus in the fullscreen cover while in the ContentView I do not.
struct ContentView: View {
@State private var buttonClicked = false
@State private var bottomSheetShowing = false
var body: some View {
NavigationView {
VStack {
Button(action: {
buttonClicked = true
}, label: {
Text("First Page Button")
.padding()
.background(Color.blue)
.foregroundColor(.white)
.cornerRadius(8)
})
.accessibilityLabel("First Page Button")

}
.navigationTitle("Welcome")
.fullScreenCover(isPresented: $buttonClicked) {
FullscreenView(buttonClicked: $buttonClicked, bottomSheetShowing: $bottomSheetShowing)
}
}
}
}
struct FullscreenView: View {

.onChange(of: bottomSheetShowing, perform: { _ in })
.sheet(isPresented: $bottomSheetShowing) {

CallKit and WebRTC are used to realize the call functionality.
You can select video, voice, or text calling as your calling method.
When making a text call, the voice input is grayed out and cannot be used, is there a solution?
I get it, "Why don't you just get an apple watch?" regardless, My Macbok Pro M4 doesn't recognize my charging cable in any of my USBC ports.
The Cable works with any other power supply I plug it into, but the Macbook doesn't even register that a cable is connected.
-- Running Sequioa Beta 15.4 thinking it may have been software related. No change.
-- Settings> Privacy and Security> accessories> Changed between all available options. No change.
-- Option + Apple Logo> system info> Thunderbolt/USB4> none of the ports show that the cable is connected.
-- Any other USB-C Cable is recognized in any of the ports on the Macbook. Just not the cable for the Galaxy Watch.
Again, the cable charges in ANY other USBc ports from ANY other device I connect it to.
Am I missing something? Or is this an intended jab at Samsung from Apple? lol

I’ve developed the Pro Talkie app—a walkie-talkie solution designed to keep you connected with family and friends
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/pro-talkie/id6742051063
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.protalkie.app
While the app works flawlessly on Android and in the foreground on iOS, I’m facing issues with establishing connections when the app is in the background or terminated on iOS.
Specifically, I’ve attempted the following:
Silent pushes and alert payloads: These are intended to wake the app in the background, but they often fail—notifications may not be received or can be delayed by 20–30 minutes, leading to a poor user experience.
VoIP pushes: These reliably wake the app, but they trigger the incoming call UI, which isn’t suitable for a walkie-talkie app that should connect directly without displaying a call screen.
I’ve enabled all the necessary background modes (audio, remote notifications, VoIP, background fetch, processing), but the challenge remains.
How can I ensure a consistent background connection on iOS without triggering the call UI?

Hi,
I am setting an accessibilityLabel and accessibilityHint property of a UIAlertAction. However, VoiceOver is only reading the label out. Usually, the label is read out, followed by a short pause and then the hint. Is this a known issue, where hints do not work for this element? I can append the hint to the label, but interested to know if there's something I'm doing wrong.
Regards.
When iOS screen reader reads the month "July" in its shorter version "Jul" its not reading it correctly as month, where as all other months name it reading it correctly in shorter version, so as a result all dates comes under that month when we display in front end and use a screen reader to read it then it will read out as number not date.
I have tried the longer version with the screen reader and then its reads correctly July as well.

Hi I'm planning to make macos App and distribute to MacOS App Store.
The question is should i make force update when update is needed.
The reason why I want to make this feature is I don't want to make user use previous version of app.
My plan is like this.
when app needed update, make user reach special page that describe why update is needed and set a button that can download new version of app.
the download will be automatically doing at background don't need to visit app store.
I search several forums and gpt but there is no positive reply of this..
so finally i make a post to know is there no way to make this.
Thank you!
