Hello Apple Developer Community, I'd like to propose a system-wide enhancement for future versions of iOS: the integration of native utility apps — Calculator, Compass, Voice Memos, Magnifier, Measure, Weather, and Translate — into a single unified app, tentatively called Apple Assist. The vision is to provide: A modular interface where users can enable/disable tools as needed. Smarter workflows with proactive suggestions based on context (time, location, task). AI-powered interaction through voice and Apple Intelligence (Advanced Siri). Benefits: Reduces icon clutter on the Home Screen. Simplifies the user experience with a single access point. Creates opportunities for automation and accessibility. Imagine saying: “Hey Siri, record a quick note and measure the table” — and the app smartly loads those modules on demand. Would love to hear feedback from the community — and whether Apple might consider something in this direction for iOS 19 or beyond. Best regards, Jose Luiz Horta Barbosa Maurity Cruz

Problem description: Connected to a Sharp 8TC60DWTX (8K) display, but unable to select 4K resolution Setup Condition Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch M4 Max Sharp 8TC60DWTX (8K) 3.Duplicate Procedure After connecting to 8K MNT and select 4K solution, it still display as 8K. Vendor analysis: 8K60 shows no image; switching to 30 Hz works normally → After analysis, we found that the 8K60 timing output from the MacBook is incorrect. The horizontal blanking (H-CBlanking) is too small to accommodate the audio data, so the RTD2191E does not output video to the monitor. → This issue does not occur on Windows platforms, confirming that this is a host-side issue.

Enrolled via website for the apple developer account last Jan. 17 and got the e-invoice last Jan. 19. However, until now I still have not received any confirmation from Apple. I thought it was supposed to be 48hrs max only? Worth noting that I started the process in the developer app but had to withdraw it due to incorrect details but when I tried to enroll again, the button was disabled already so I had to do it via website. I also submitted 2 support tickets, one on Jan. 18 and one today, Jan. 20. Both no reply. Anyone else here had the same problem or knows the solution?

I'm concerned that the Apple Vision Pro is too costly for low-income developers to develop for. Any thoughts?

we’ve identified that our PDF rendering pipeline leverages the native CGPDFDocument APIs to convert PDF pages into images. However, in the latest release of iOS 18, the provided document fails to render even at the CGPDFDocument level. Our analysis suggests that the issue may stem from the embedded custom fonts not being correctly processed in this version of the iOS platform. This appears to be consistent with several other reports and discussions around font rendering problems introduced in iOS 18, particularly involving subset fonts. We’ve attached a collection of relevant community threads and references, including: Apple Developer Discussion: Subset Font Rendering Issue in iOS 18 Given that our implementation is tightly coupled with Apple’s native PDF rendering APIs, this issue presents a blocking limitation for us. With your permission, we would like to use this document as a sample case to formally report the issue through the appropriate Apple Developer forums and feedback channels.

Hello. I’m on iOS 26. I’m very protective over my children’s phone and use screen time religiously. ios 26 does have delete history grayed out , but there’s a glitch! You’re able to swipe and delete history under the bookmarks history and tabs section. Also if you type in a website like Walmart, it will bring it up and then allow you to swipe to the left and hit the red delete history and it shows up nowhere in your history! please help me find a fix for this!! i do allow safari but definitely want to be able to check the websites being viewed!!! also - iOS 26 does not let u block apple.comunder your not allowed websites. Which means they can now use Apple Maps and third party browser on Apple.com for example under the simple weather app before I had Apple blocked to where none of this could be accessed through stock apple apps! i appreciate any help!!!

I set iOS 26 to install overnight, put my iPhone 16 Pro on the MagSafe charger, watched it charge just fine, and went to sleep. When I woke up the iPhone showed the “plug into power” dead battery screen. I took it off MagSafe and put it back on. A half hour later the phone was warm but still wouldn’t power on, just showed the battery screen with a little red in it. I took it off MagSafe and plugged it into my iPad charging brick with USB cable to give it more power, still it did not turn on. I tried holding all the buttons to try to force a restart but didn’t work. For anyone else encountering this, do this to enter DFU mode and restore it. I had to do it a few times before I got the timing right. Plug into your Mac and open Finder (or apparently a PC with Apple Devices or iTunes) Press and quickly release volume up Press and quickly release volume down Press and hold right side button When the battery disappears and screen goes black, hold volume down and continue holding side button After a couple seconds release the side button and continue holding volume down A prompt to allow connecting to the iPhone should appear after a couple seconds, click Allow, and it’ll say the iPhone entered DFU mode - proceed to restore the firmware

Hi all, Well Im about to publish an app for iOS and the process is almost done but I don't know how is it to publish the same for MacOS, I mean, I can generate the app file from my engine (Unity) and even run it, but from there what are the steps? do we need to pass this to Xcode too? if so please direct me to where its explained because I couldn't find it, thanks a lot for any help

Ok, so I’ve downloaded iOS 26 for the iPhone and iPad and there are a couple of points bugging me. Why oh why would somebody think that it was a good idea to remove the ability to scroll through photos in a folder in files? Where in their tiny minds did they think that opening a photo, viewing said photo, then closing photo to then open the next photo in sequence was a better or more productive way than just swiping left and right? I mean, seriously!!! And why the need for a separate Preview app when it worked fine opening files in the Files app?! I deleted the Preview app from my iPhone to see what difference it would make, but alas it made things worse. Now, because there’s no Preview app, Files wants to open my photos in an image editing app called Afterlite! I checked settings for the files app, and the only options I have for opening photos are Afterlite (which it’s decided to make default), the Photoshop app, or iMovie! Does anyone have any ideas how to get photos stored in the Files app to open IN the Files app or at least the Photos app? Just when I thought they’d come to their senses and sorted out that god awful iOS 18 Photos app, they go and do something like this! Also, can someone explain to me what the point is of having a month and year view in the Photos app? When I sort by month and pick a particular month or date in a month, instead of showing just those images taken that month, it just takes you back to the view with ALL of your photos? Surely if you have thousands of photos on your device and you want to see only photos on a particular date, it would make sense to show only the photos from that date. Even if it generated automatic albums under the album view for each month and year that would be something!

Hey team, I have an app in CarPlay where i was pushing the CPNowPlayingTemplate as follows: self.interfaceController.pushTemplate(CPNowPlayingTemplate.shared(), animated: true) This used to work perfectly, but suddenly I have started to get this error NSInvalidArgumentException: Unsupported object <CPNowPlayingTemplate: 0x119a0b5c0> <identifier: 6EE4E5A9-B1FB-4341-A485-78D7DDEBD8D0, userInfo: (null), tabTitle: (null), tabImage: (null), showsTabBadge: 0> passed to pushTemplate:animated:completion:. Allowed classes: {( CPActionSheetTemplate, CPAlertTemplate, CPVoiceControlTemplate, CPTabBarTemplate, CPListTemplate, CPInformationTemplate, CPContactTemplate, CPMapTemplate, CPGridTemplate, CPSearchTemplate )} How is this possible? Even on Apple docs, it says to pushTemplate Refer https://developer.apple.com/download/files/CarPlay-Developer-Guide.pdf https://developer.apple.com/documentation/carplay/cpnowplayingtemplate/

We have observed an issue where upgrading an iPhone to iOS 18.4 causes installed apps to revert to significantly older versions. For example, if the App Store version is 1.0.284 and the user had 1.0.283 installed before the upgrade, after updating to iOS 18.4, the app version reverts to 1.0.208—which is nearly a year old. We suspect this may be related to iCloud backup restoration. Has Apple encountered similar cases, and is there a known resolution for this issue?

When I updated IOS 26.1, When someone call me over voice call phone kept vibrating after call has been picked for 15 sec. Can you please check what’s the issue

The first Beta install stopped recognizing a Yamaha USB audio interface. The next two installs brought the recognition back. The last Beta install doesn't recognize the interface completely. The midi implementation works but the audio implementation isn't recognized in Audio/Midi setup. This might be something to look at in the next Beta release or something audio interface venders should look at in their next driver release.

Hi! I found a UI bug in iOS 26.0 (23A5276f). When you swipe down from the top right to open Control Center and adjust brightness using the slider, everything looks normal. However, if you long-press the brightness slider, the brightness knob detaches from the base. The button becomes smaller while the frame remains the same, making the UI asymmetrical and misaligned. This happens consistently and is clearly a layout issue.

The last "App Store Connect: App Analytics Weekly Summary" email I received was June 3. My apps are still up and the emails are not going to spam. In my Apple Developer settings, "App Analytics Weekly Email Summary" is still set to on (i.e. "Receive a weekly email."). Coincidentally, on June 9 I received an email about updated agreements and guidelines, which I hadn't logged in to accept until today. Is this related, and if so, why should it be? If something else is causing the missing emails, how can that be resolved?
