Apple Developer Program
Hi everyone, It’s been almost three weeks, and I’m still waiting for a reply about my subscription to the Apple Developer Program, but I haven’t received anything. I replied to the email three days ago and got no response. I tried again by requesting the subscription two days ago, but all I received was an automated message saying they would reply within two business days. What I did: I went to my Apple Developer account, clicked on Subscriptions, and entered my card details. They sent me an email saying they are preparing my order, but nothing else. Has anyone else had the same issue with Apple Developer support? Regards,

Persistent Remote Access or Network Manipulation? Technical Findings and Questionsh
Hi all, I’m not a developer, but I’m hoping someone with iOS system or network experience can help me understand some very persistent and unusual behavior on my iPhone. I’ve gathered system logs and app-level diagnostics and would really appreciate insight from anyone familiar with daemons, VPN tunnels, or MDM behavior on Apple platforms. Summary of Issues Over Time March 2025: Most apps begin logging out automatically when closed April 2025: Passwords across apps and browsers begin failing May–June 2025: Gmail password reset emails stop arriving (even though other email works) These symptoms suggest something affecting secure sessions, DNS routing, or background data handling. I began running diagnostics and found unexpected system and network behaviors: Examples: com.apple.mobile.lockdown.remote.trusted file_relay.shim.remote pcapd.shim.remote webinspector.shim.remote bluetooth.BTPacketLogger.shim.remote On a normal, non-jailbroken device, I wouldn't expect so many .shim.remote or .diagnostic services to be active. Is this expected on iOS 18.5? The binary /usr/sbin/scutil appears to be missing. This breaks commands like: scutil --dns scutil --proxy scutil --nc list On a standard iOS device, is it even possible for scutil to be removed or disabled? App Behavior and Config Locking (Cloudflare WARP Log) From the logs of the Cloudflare WARP app (not enterprise-managed): The app repeatedly forces VPN tunnels to reconnect or restart by injecting dummy URLs (force OS to restart the network extension process). It tries to load policy configuration from MDM and Teams APIs (even though no MDM appears in Settings). Many config items are marked as: locked: true, visible: true including: DNS logs Fallback DNS Trusted WiFi settings The account is labeled as: WarpAccountRole.child which may explain some restrictions — but I’ve never set this manually. This seems more advanced than what the standard WARP app does. Could a provisioning profile or side-loaded config be applying these? Key Questions for the Community Are ~50 remote diagnostic services (.shim.remote) normal on iOS 18.5 stock devices? Could a VPN app (e.g. WARP) or hidden config enforce flow-switching across interfaces like ipsec, awdl, and pdp_ip, even when not visibly active? Can a provisioning profile or managed config enable services like file_relay, pcapd, or webinspector silently — without any visible MDM profile? Has anyone seen scutil or other network tools missing on a stock iPhone? What could cause this? Does WARP in MASQUE mode normally lock DNS settings and force tunnel restarts — or could this indicate tampering? If anyone on iOS 18.5 / iPhone17,1 can share their remotectl_dumpstate output, I'd love to compare. Happy to share sanitized logs or run more tests if helpful. Thank you for any insights — especially from those familiar with internal services, VPN frameworks, or supervised profiles. get-network-info.txt remotectl_dumpstate.txt assetsd.diskwrites_resource-2025-06-25-221428.json More network info.txt linkText](https://www.example.com/)

IOS 26 , bugs?
updated my iPhone 15 to iOS 26 last night and now when I put the alert slider on silent, my notifications won’t vibrate. Even after checking all settings in sounds and haptics to be correct, it still isn't vibrating on silent. Also the apple music search bar is a little flimsy? Merging the text and microphone options

Is this an ios 26 beta bug?
After updating my iPhone to iOS 26 beta, images displayed inside an in-app WebView (WKWebView) suddenly look almost black, as if a black overlay were sitting on top of them. The same image files are delivered from the server without any problems. I inspected the DOM and CSS in Safari’s remote debugger and confirmed that no extra overlay element or dark background layer is being injected. The effect only appears inside the WebView on iOS 26 beta; the same page renders correctly on earlier iOS versions and on desktop browsers. I would like to understand what change in iOS 26 beta could be causing this darkening effect.

CoreLocation Limit?
Dear team, I am reaching out to inquire about potential daily usage limits for the CoreLocation geocoding services. While I understand that there is a known limit of approximately 50 requests per minute, I have received information suggesting there may also be a daily cap of 25,000 requests. Could you please confirm whether such a daily limit exists? Additionally, I would appreciate any recommendations you might have for increasing the allowable number of daily geocoding requests, if possible. Thank you in advance for your support.

iOS 26 Developer Beta Issues
Hi, I’ve recently installed the iOS 26 DB, and I’m experiencing heating issues on my iPhone. Is there a fix to this? Also, is it a bug or a feature, that I can’t remove certain sections in the Photos app rather than rearranging them. Pls lemme know. Thanks.

iOS 26 Beta 2 replaces iOS 18.4 Backup
After too many boot loops and inability to boot up at all from system data bloating, I decided to restore the iPhone 16 Pro Max I’m beta testing on back to iOS 18.4 for a third time. Unfortunately, I found the iOS 26 beta 2 had made a iCloud backup last night, replacing my 18.4 backup. Is this something betas are supposed to do? I’ve been beta testing for around a decade now, I’ve never seen a iOS beta make an iCloud backup. Is anyone else noticing excessive system data bloating (70-100 GB or more)? Regardless, I’m in it for the long game now 😂

Glitching parts of screen since update to iOS 26 Developer Beta
As the title states, and it’s extremely frustrating. The floating bar that now appears above the keyboard is cool compared to the built in bar, though it seems to only work when it feels like it. Also the screen seems to have a haze around it, sometimes I cannot read whats needed because of it being blurred and it won’t allow me to navigate to certain things due to the haze being there too. Any way of rolling back my update and going back to my previous iOS?

Pilot Comms/headsets
Based a quick research, comfort and fit, noise cancellation issues and durability seems to be the most consistent issues with pilot headsets. I wouldn’t say there is a problem here, because you can easily throw out the faulty headset and spend another $1000 on a new one. However, what if apple can profit by introducing their version of pilot headsets? Besides, most airlines use Apple iPads for Navigation, crew scheduling etc. Make it a one stop shop. Apple already has the framework for music headsets, why not use it as a base for pilot headsets? Disrupt an already stagnant market and give pilots a great alternative. Tap into the interests of a new generation of pilots again most which already uses Apple products. Come up with a new fresh look of ‘pilot comms.’ A good idea is to pitch to the GA (general aviation) industry maybe include Apple headsets with the purchase of a new aircraft.

Carplay grid in list
Hey everyone, I'm currently working on Carplay intergration in my audio app. While exploring Apple Music on carplay, i found this kind of display: This is a grid of items in a list (i'm on iOS 18 when testing this), but i didn't find anything in developer documentation that would allow me to have this kind of display. Is this something apple specific, or can i achieve this ? I tried using the grid template but it's not as pretty, nor as flexible as this. Thanks for your help !

Urgent: Locked Account Holder – Need Help
Hello Apple Developer Community, I need some assistance with my account. I created a new developer account for a new project I am working on, and paid the apple developer fee. Everything was working fine for a few weeks, I was able to get my app on TestFlight and invite testers to it, as well as push updates and get feedback. The testers were family/business partners. As of a few days ago, I was locked out of my account. I first tried resetting my password, and was then met with an email claiming my account was locked with no additional information. I am trying to understand how I can either unlock my account, or transfer my existing app to a new account, so that I do not have to bother my users with downloading a new app. Additionally, I would like some help in understanding how I can safeguard myself from this issue in the future, especially given this would not be fun if my app were published. Could anyone please assist me, provide me with any advice, or point me to a place where I could get support? I spent 25 minutes on the phone with apple support, and was treated excellently as I've come to expect of Apple, but unfortunately was not given any help as the support did not have additional information. I'm hoping I'm asking in the right place, and can get some help! Thanks in advance, Fritz

RCS Messaging in BETA
Hi, Looking for guidance. Since RCS messaging became available via Apple I’ve used Messsages as my default application irrespective of whether sending messages to an iPhone or an Android handset. I’ve updated to the iOS 26 developer beta and RCS messaging is not available. When I check on messages under settings it constantly states ‘waiting for activation’ Is RCS not usable until the full version of iOS 26 is released in September? My network is EE in the United Kingdom

BLE Scan Response
The iPhone XS Max and Garmin watch pairing cannot use BLE to send Scan Response; it can only send BLE advertisements. May I ask if this is a limitation of the Apple system? So far, we have tested several iPhone models, and only the iPhone XS Max has this issue. We are not sure if other untested models have the same problem.
