NFC iOS 18.0 slow
Why NFC tags shown speed is slower than iOS 16.0? After paying with Apple Wallet with iOS 18.0, it seems that it could only detect the NFC tags after 5s, it is the particularity of the iOS 18.0? How can it be quick as former version?

iOS 18.2.1: Apps Refreshing When Returning from Background
I am using an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and I’ve encountered an issue that started when I updated to the public beta of iOS 18.2. Here’s the problem: Whenever I minimize an app (e.g., WhatsApp, Safari, Chrome, Brave, etc.) while working on something—like typing a message or filling out a form—and receive a call, the app refreshes to its initial state after I return. For example: If I’m typing a message in WhatsApp, and a call interrupts me, the chat window closes and reverts to WhatsApp’s home screen when I return. Similarly, if I’m filling out a form in a browser and get a call, the form resets, and I lose all entered data. If I’m playing a game like Candy Crush and switch to another app without closing the game, it restarts when I return. If I’m trying to log in to an app that requires authentication through another app (e.g., SEB Bank app using BankID, or Swiss apps that require BankID for verification), the login process fails because the original app refreshes and loses its state when I switch back. Initially, I thought this might be due to having Developer Mode enabled, so I turned it off. Then I assumed it could be related to the beta version of iOS, so I waited for the stable release. I have since turned off beta updates and updated to the stable version of iOS, but the issue persists. Interestingly, I noticed the same behavior while using iOS 17 as well. Is there anything I can do to fix this problem and prevent apps from refreshing unexpectedly? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Chrome replaced by Safari after in-app upgrade
Hello I want to report an issue on macOS, I also reported this issue on feedbackassistant, but I didn't get a response from the feedbackassistant. I am sorry it might not be appropriate to post it here, if so, you can move or delete this post or ask me to to so. Thanks. In short words, Chrome/Edge/Firefox users who manually set the browser as default browser in the macOS System setttings, will lose their default browser setting after browser a upgrade. What steps will reproduce the problem? (1) Install Chrome Canary, in my case I was using 134.0.6961.0. After installation, open it from launchpad, but don't set it as the default browser in the browser (2) Go to macOS's system settings, search Deafult Web Browser, set the new installed Chrome Canary as default browser (3) Go to Chrome Canary's Settings->About Chrome (4) Wait for Chrome update information to be updated (it will auto update to the latest version) (5) Check result of system default browser. Click a link from Notes, it will navigate to Safari. What is the expected result? System default browser should not change What happens instead? The System default browser changed to the topmost browser of the brower list in system settings. Click a link from Notes, it will be opened in Safari. Notes This bug also happens on Firefox and Edge, it should be a macOS bug. This bug is similar to https://issues.chromium.org/issues/346505950 Looks like after installation, macOS recognize the newly installed version of browser as a new browser, even though the signature of the application remained the same. In Local Network of macOS settings, some Edge users see multiple entries with the same name.

MacPro 2019 Boot Screen Selection?
hi. I have a MacPro 2019, and I'm running Monterey at the moment. I have three screens. Two 4k screens, and a XDR in the center of them. My MacPro 2019 boots with the left screen showing the startup and login screen. I've previously had it boot to my XDR before the others. I'm not entirely sure why it moved to the left, but I need it back on the center screen. We used to just drag a happy mac icon from screens in the displays system preference. I don't see any method to change this startup and login screen. How do I choose the permanent bootup and startup screen (as my XDR!). Thanks. Dave

Bug Reporting - Best way to report?
What is the best way to adhoc report bugs in an Apple OS? For example I'm experiencing a bug with macOS where the following occurs: In home office I have connected network drives that are part of my login items. I want them to mount in Finder automaticallly. When out of the office I get prompts about the missing drives that are persistent and cannot be dismissed with one click. Macos 15.2 and earlier has, since I can recall, REPEATEDLY prompted about these missing drives to the point I want to put a fist through the screen. I'm not sure why people aren't setting the world on fire over this bug or why Apple allows it to remain.

DetectBarcodesRequest operates differently among machines
Hi Apple Developers! I’m using the DetectBarcodesRequest function to identify QR codes in some images and PDFs. However, I’m facing an issue where the function doesn’t detect the barcode on certain documents and machines, while it works on others using the same document. The only common factor I’ve noticed is that the machines that successfully identify the QR code of the “problematic” document are all heavy developer machines that have Xcode installed. Interestingly, this doesn’t seem to be related to processor type (Intel vs. Apple Silicon). Could you please provide some guidance or leads on how to resolve this issue?

"Create Your Apple Account" Not Working
I just got a new 2024 Macbook Pro today. I finished setting it up, and I'm trying to reinstall a few apps. It told me that since I haven't used my Apple ID yet, I need to complete my Apple account. I've entered all my address information, but every time I hit continue, the boxes turn red, telling me I need to enter my information as if I never entered it in the first place. How can I fix this? I need to set this computer up before classes tomorrow.

Xcode 16.2 iOS error = CFMessagePort
Hi, After updating to Xcode 16.2, I am getting an error running all iOS apps. I'm using Sequioa 15.2. Error creating the CFMessagePort needed to communicate with PPT. I ran the default Hello World app and got the same error message (plus another error not showing up on my apps - Failed to send CA Event for app launch measurements for ca_event_type: 1 event_name: com.apple.app_launch_measurement.ExtendedLaunchMetrics). Can I ignore the error or is it truly affecting my app (all are testflight versions and it's fine if I don't update them for awhile, although not ideal). Hopefully someone can help! Thanks, -Ashley

Carplay - Low Fuel Suggestions
Dear Developers, I am wondering if there is a way to build on the current "Low Fuel" notification. Currently, if my low fuel light activates while Carplay is on, a low fuel notification is also sent to my phone. If the car can communicate this, can it also communicate mileage range? This way, if I'm in the middle of a route and the low fuel light engages, Carplay could suggest the nearest gas stations on the route within the remaining mileage range. Any information would be very helpful!

Analyzing recent crash reports for answers - kernel panics are causing Mac to frequently restart
Experiencing frequent automatic restarts on my late 2013 iMac running OS Catalina 10.15.7. Fairly certain that the issue doesn't have to do with my peripherals (external hard drive, flash drives, CD burner) and thinking it's a software issue. Below are the 4 different crash reports I’ve received for OneDriveStandaloneUpdater, Adobe Desktop Service, mds_stores, and mds. Wondering if anyone has any insights on how to remedy these out of the blue shutdowns based on the crash report info? Thanks in advance...
