Hey,
I have AirPlay speakers that I want to use as permanent speakers on my Apple TV. It is possible since tvOS 26. I want to delete the delay from the connection to the speakers and tried out the wireless audio calibration, but then the TV speakers go on and it only works there, not on the speakers. Does anyone have a solution?

Hey everyone. Ever since installed OS26 (and 26.1 now) - whenever I fast play any video on 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x on the AppleTV - the audio gets massively distorted on HomePods. Be it on YouTube, Difuse, or any supporting app. I even tried mirroring from iPhone
-same issue.
Anyone else experiencing the same? I noticed no posts about troubleshooting.

Hello! My name is Brittany! I’m a designer/artist. I am curious about what I should do.. I have all these ideas for developing things in the Apple Vision Pro world. But I have little to no experience with that stuff. I def need an outlet for my creative cutting edge ideas. Is this stuff easy to learn or am I better off working with someone to create my vision? How much would that even cost? Thank you kindly for any assistance💖

As soon as I launch, Mail and Safari crash. I hope this is temporary. Tahoe 26.0 Beta
just updated macos to 15.5 beta 2, cannot login anymore!
i reach the login screen, i enter the correct password, the loading bar stops at around 10%, after about 1 minute the system restarts, it return to the login screens, and so on…
any suggestion about debugging this type of situation?
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

Why spinner is not showing while downloading dynamic data.
User can select multiple time Choose and most up to date data is not showing.
Below methods are never get called?
optional func handle(intent:

provideDeviceOptionsCollection(for intent:
From the date the app was updated, the step count data retrieved from HealthKit was strange. On the other hand, step count data from the date before the update is imported normally.
After deleting and reinstalling the app, the problem did not occur.
Is there anyone who has experienced something like this or knows the cause?
I have a new M4 iPad Air and a brand new Apple Pencil Pro. It was working well until I installed iPadOS 26.0 (23A5297m) beta. Now, when using GoodNotes to write the Pencil functions for about 6-8 seconds and then disconnects for 2-3 seconds and then reconnects. You can imagine how disruptive this is. It does the same thing trying to highlight in the Kindle app, so I think it is an iOS issue.
As I write this, I am discovering that the Pencil is not wanting to stay connected at all despite showing up in the list of Bluetooth devices and connecting temporarily. I've tried forgetting and reconnecting the Pencil several times. It is charged to 100%, and I receive the alert that the iPad detects the Pencil.
Is anyone else having this issue? Do I need to assume this is being addressed?
I'm trying to run Colab Enterprise notebook's from my iPad Mini, and continue getting the error message 'Unable to connect to the runtime'.
The references support page offers a list of potential issues. I've checked off browser issues (same situation on Chrome, Safari and Firefox), Permissions (works fine on Macbook with same credentials), and network blocking dev platforms (tried this on 3 different networks, plus it works on my macbook).
All signs point to a device issue, but Apple support isn't supporting this issue.
If anyone has any insight into this, I'd appreciate any info.
thx

Hi everyone,
I updated my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26 beta and my Apple Watch to watchOS 26 beta because I wanted to test out the new features. After a few days of testing, I found the iOS 26 beta too unstable and laggy for daily use, so I downgraded my iPhone back to iOS 18.5 stable.
Now my Apple Watch is still running watchOS 26 beta. I tried resetting it to factory settings, hoping that would help, but now I can’t pair it back to my iPhone because it requires iOS 26 again — which I don’t want to reinstall and don't want to use it till it's stable.
Is there any way to downgrade my Apple Watch back to a stable version or somehow pair it again with my iPhone running iOS 18.5?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Apple TV
Samsung TV
SONOS Soundbar + S1 stereo speakers
Apple TV Preferences
Sound output = SONOS soundbar
Samsung Preferences
Sound Output = SONOS HDMI eArc soundbar
start with Apple TV movies and as I switch from movie to movie, sound comes out stereo as it should
however when I switch to Netflix or YouTube TV with stereo content, sound comes out mono .. until I manually change the ATV Preferences to stereo.
As ong as I stay with Netflix content, stereo output. But change to YouRube TV or ATV, it automatically changes to mono.

er the past few months, I’ve been experiencing persistent, abnormal behavior on my iPhone. Here's a short timeline:
March 2025: Most apps log me out every time I close them.
April 2025: Stored passwords suddenly begin failing across apps and websites.
May–June 2025: Password recovery emails from Gmail accounts no longer arrive — suggesting that Gmail itself may be compromised or blocked/intercepted.
Given the escalation, I ran several diagnostics and extracted system-level logs. Below is a structured summary of findings that point toward potential remote access, network traffic rerouting, and possibly hidden use of Bluetooth or debugging interfaces.
##1
Source: remotectl_dumpstate.txt
More than 50 remote lockdown and diagnostic services are listed as active.
Notable entries:
com.apple.mobile.lockdown.remote.trusted and .untrusted
com.apple.mobile.file_relay.shim.remote
com.apple.webinspector.shim.remote
com.apple.pcapd.shim.remote
com.apple.bluetooth.BTPacketLogger.shim.remote
com.apple.mobile.insecure_notification_proxy.remote
This volume of .shim.remote and diagnostic services appears highly irregular for a non-debug, non-jailbroken device.
2. Skywalk Network Flows and Unusual Routing
Source: skywalk.txt
Dozens of flowswitch entries across interfaces like:
ipsec0-7, pdp_ip0-2, en0-2, awdl0
Apps such as Gmail, ChatGPT, Preferences, and com.apple.WebKit are marked as defunct, yet persist in flow tables.
Two specific daemons — replicatord and siriactionsd — appear on nearly every interface, in both QUIC and TCP6 traffic.
skywalkctl flow-route shows multiple external IP paths, with flows routed through ipsec7, owned by kernel_task.0 — which could indicate system-level tunneling.
3. System Anomalies and Resource Behavior
Inaccessible System Network Tools
Source: get-network-info.txt
All scutil calls fail (/usr/sbin/scutil does not exist).
This blocks access to:
DNS configuration (scutil --dns)
Proxy and VPN status (scutil --proxy, --nc list)
Reachability checks (scutil -r www.apple.com)
Key Questions for the Developer Community
Are >50 remote .shim.remote services typical on iOS 18.5 (release build)? Or does this suggest tampering, an MDM configuration, or debug provisioning?
Could a misconfigured VPN or MDM profile enable persistent flow-switching across multiple interfaces (e.g., ipsec, pdp, awdl) and reroute app traffic such as Gmail?
Is it possible for a test or developer certificate to silently side-load a background daemon, or trigger services like pcapd or file_relay, without showing in Profiles or Settings?
Has anyone else seen the scutil binary missing or inaccessible on a stock iPhone? Could this be a sign of intentional lockdown or system modification?
If anyone on iOS 18.5 / iPhone17,1 can share their remotectl_dumpstate output, I'd like to compare the service count and see if this behavior is reproducible.
I’d appreciate any insight from those familiar with Apple’s system daemons, skywalk internals, or network service behavior. Happy to share sanitized logs or run additional diagnostics if needed.
Thanks in advance.

After the last OS26 developer beta update the watch series 6 battery drains fast, in less than two hours life. I visited Apple Store , they said the battery was dead so I had to buy new watch series 10
The same issue happened in the new watch, the battery meter shows 50% after 1 hour
Right now I’ve downgraded my update version to beta 11 until I can find a solution

I attempted to reset the Watch SE, which is currently running 10.6.1 and enrolled in Beta updates. My iPhone is updated to 18.2, but the Watch app isn't showing any available updates.
Hello,
I'm trying to publish my app, but I'm constantly getting rejected by Apple. They're telling me I'm having issues with tracking user data.
This item has been rejected for the following reasons:
5.1.2 Legal: Privacy - Data Use and Sharing
I've indicated that I don't use this data for ads, that it's only used for personalization and to understand who saves items.
I added the NSUserTrackingUsageDescription property to the info.plist.
I run AppTrackingTransparency.requestTrackingAuthorization() when the user logs into the app, displaying a warning message.
I'd say I meet all the requirements they've set for me, but they still haven't approved my app. What do you recommend? How can I speak to a physical person who can help me?
Thank you very much and best regards.
I noticed the water lock feature isn’t in the control center after updating to WatchOS 26
