iOS 26 Beta 1 : Banking and Government apps crashing
(It’s my first post so idk if i’m in the right place) I have been testing iOS 26 since launch and it is great (kind of buggy but that’s to be expected). I have come across an issue though : government and banking apps either crash or get stuck on splashscreen on launch. Do you think it is something that is gonna be fixed on the apple side of things, or that it’s gonna be for the developers to figure out compatibility ? (I am asking because governments don’t tend to be quick to fix problems so i am hoping it not the latter) Any idea?

Unable to check for updates
Hey there, I recently updated my iPhone to the iOS 26 developers beta version, and I’m encountering an issue on the Software Update page. It says “Unable to check for updates,” and I’m unable to revert to iOS 18. Is this a temporary problem? Will I be able to update my iPhone in the future without needing to reset it? Thanks

18.4 Update Bug
Hey everyone, First time posting on here. I updated my iPhone 15Pro to 18.4 this morning march 5th, and almost immediately my phone started bugging. Safari won’t load, neither will some of my apps that are heavily data based like Mail. I tried WiFi and data, no difference, I tried different WiFi connections and even a hotspot. Siri and chatGPT also won’t load BUT instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X, and threads are working perfectly fine. Most games won’t load either. I tried to use a VPN and it has allowed me to access everything that is down Including Siri. This is a temporary solution, hopefully there is a more permanent fix. Thank you all in advance.

New to Apple Developer Forums — Guidance Appreciated
Hi everyone 👋, I’m new to the Apple Developer Forums and just getting started with building apps for iOS/macOS. I’ve explored the documentation but wanted to introduce myself and ask for some advice from experienced developers. Currently working on: An iOS app using SwiftUI Learning more about integrating Sign in with Apple Exploring best practices for App Store submission Here’s what I’d like to know: What is the recommended approach to saving minimal app state before termination? Are there SwiftUI lifecycle metho18336114753ds or SceneDelegate hooks I should be aware of? Is UserDefaults the best tool for small state preservation in this context? Would love to hear from anyone who’s implemented sim18336114753ilar behavior — even a high-level suggestion would help. Thanks! Harjeet Singh

Xcode-beta project ORSOFINAL: SwiftShims & C99 PCH errors after migration from Xcode stable
Hi all, I’m running into a persistent build issue with my Swift project ORSOFINAL after migrating from Xcode stable to Xcode-beta.app (June 2025 version). ⸻ 💥 Errors displayed: 1. C99 was enabled in PCH file but is currently disabled 2. module file .../ModuleCache.noindex/SwiftShims-AXUM98L131W4...pcm cannot be loaded due to a configuration mismatch with the current compilation 3. missing required module 'SwiftShims' ⸻ 🛠 What I’ve already tried: • xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer • Deleted ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData, ModuleCache.noindex, Archives, and Products • Ran sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch • Clean Build Folder in Xcode-beta • Verified Command Line Tools setting points to Xcode-beta ⸻ ❓Looking for guidance on: • Whether this is a known bug in Xcode-beta • If SwiftShims/PCM conflicts are expected between versions • Best practices to safely migrate from Xcode stable to beta for Swift-based projects Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks, Mathéo

App Automatically Logging Out for Some Users
Hello, We’re experiencing an issue in our app where a subset of users are being logged out automatically without any apparent reason. This is impacting both iOS 16 and iOS 17 users (though it’s hard to confirm if it’s platform-specific). Here’s a breakdown of the situation: Symptoms Some users report being logged out of the app randomly, even after remaining active. The issue doesn’t seem to affect all users—just a specific subset. Users are prompted to log in again, and once they do, the app behaves as expected until the issue recurs.

Question on Developer Membership?
I am about to buy the yearly membership. My good friend was going to work on a project with me. If I start the project with the membership, would he need to also have a membership to collaborate on the project together? Really just seeing if we need two memberships to get started or just one.

Satellite communications
I have a question about the operating procedure of the iPhone defaulting into satellite service. Post major storm we noticed that my phones would not allow us to connect to the satellite backup communication because the iPhone was still getting intermittent cell service even though the service that they were receiving via tower signal was that of the tower that had no connectivity (the individual cell tower may have been producing cell SIGNAL, but their ability to transfer data threw microwave or landline was terminated ). Previously, I asked if they could find a fix so that even if the phone is receiving what it is some or very little signal, you could opted to defer to settle in a situation such as this. When left in it’s current programming the phone will not make contact with either communication source leading it to be useless.

CGPDFDocument Rendering Issue with Custom Fonts in iOS 18
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.

NFS shares seem to die after 5 mins on Sequoia 15.5
I don't know if this is the right place to raise this, so apologies if not. For years now, I have exported an NFS share from a host Mac which I connect to from a Raspberry Pi on the same network. I configure this by adding a line in /etc/exports - /Users/Pi -mapall=myusername This has always worked flawlessly, but since updating my Mac (M4 Mac Mini) to Sequoia 15.5 last week, it has developed a problem. If the NFS share is not accessed from the Pi for five minutes, it dies, and the Pi's file manager locks up necessitating a complete reboot. If I run a script on the PI which does an ls on the mounted share every 5 minutes, the lockup does not happen. But if I extend the period to 6 minutes, the lockup occurs. Something on the Mac NFS server seems to be dying in an unrecoverable fashion after five minutes of idle. Even with nfsd logging set to verbose, there is nothing helpful in the console logs. I am open to suggestions to further investigate or to try and fix this, but this is basically a showstopper for me - I need to be able to share data between Mac and Pi, and this is now broken.

Need clarification on using Apple MapKit in CarPlay
I have developed a mobile app using SwiftUI that supports GoogleMaps. Now I am in the process of building a CarPlay application. I assume CarPlay only supports Apple MapKit, as I could not find any way to integrate the Google Maps. Below are few queries, Could you please guide me on how I can obtain the user's current location on the CarPlay app launch? Is there a way CarPlay can get the details from the mobile app(not pretty sure as its using Google Maps)? If the user is logged out from the mobile app, what is the flow in CarPlay? Do we have any standard login page asking user to login to the mobile app first? Is there any UI asking the user to capture the location in CarPlay? This is my first CarPlay app. Kindly guide me to a document or so that covers these details. Thanks a ton!!

Incorrect Screen time of few apps & total screen time
Hello, I am using an iPhone 15 with iOS 18.2.1, and I've noticed an issue with the screen time statistics for my app usage. Specifically, the screen time for my Google Pay app shows around 2 hours of usage on a given day, even though I only spend about a minute per transaction. Even if I assume multiple payments throughout the day, the total should not exceed 15 minutes. This discrepancy is concerning to me, as it is affecting my personal relationships and raising trust issues, as my partner is questioning what I could have been doing on the app for such an extended period. I would appreciate it if this issue could be looked into and resolved as soon as possible.
