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?

Tahoe 26 Public Beta Disassociated my Phone Number
Not sure if this is the proper place to post this. In quotes below is what I posted on the regular forum but it was removed when I used the word 'beta' - didn't know that was an issue. The email then sent me here. "Updated both my MacBook Pro (M1, Late 2020) and my iPhone 13 Pro with the new Tahoe 26 Public Beta and now my phone number is "unavailable for iMessage and FaceTime" It's listed on the website for sign in to the account, but now messages on my different devices don't sync and I can't send from my number or receive messages in new threads to my number. After an hour or so of digging online I called their support - who didn't know about Tahoe. The best he could tell me is wait 24 hours for the system to catch up. Sigh. It's the same number I've had since (well before) iPhone 2 when I first set up the account. I've been doing the betas since they've been available, and I expect quirks and issues. I've just never had an issue this invasive." Follow up - existing threads still seem to work, I'm assuming I'm missing anyone new texting me, since my number isn't listed

Apple TV 4k 3rd Gen recovery failures
Hello there I have got into a bit of an issue with the Apple TV 4k 3rd Gen with Ethernet . So I installed the iOS 26 beta to try out the new changes I usually do this on Apple TVs but in this case it has a bug where my apple music randomly skipped to the next songs . So after some bit of reading I got to know that the apple TV as a recovery mode which could be accessed by pressing home and pause/play buttons . After getting there I was required to bring an iPhone close to start the recovery process which I did but somehow that process always failed I tried to plug in the Ethernet cable since my apple TV is literally 3-5 inches away from my main router I even tried the recommended option of switching to a 2.4ghz connection but nothing worked . I would think that by apple getting rid of the USB ports on these things they had a reliable method of recovery in case of error because these are computers they are bound to fail at some point . So for now am stuck with a boot looping apple TV without a port and I don't even know how that too came about since the recovery process barely starts and fails. Ps am in Africa where we have no apple stores so we usually deal with our products ourselves

The new framework AlarmKit is useless
what else can you do with it except for getting the alarm run off? and the alarm even gets dismissed when the user presses any buttons on device even volume buttons. I hope it's better by the time when iOS26 is officially released but I can't prepare for the new iOS update with this useless new framework. does anybody know what new features in this framework are coming up?

The subscription item redeemed from the Appstore cannot be detected within the app(storekit2,promo code)
The minimum support for the project is iOS 15.2, and the subscription function is implemented using StoreKit2. Problem: The redemption was successful within the Appstore, but the redemption item cannot be detected through code within the app.(The subscription function has been implemented and tested) Here is my code, I am not sure if it is due to storeKit2 (as seen elsewhere) or if there is a problem with the testing method. If there is a correct testing method for the promoCode redemption scenario, please let me know. for await verificationResult in Transaction.currentEntitlements { switch verificationResult { case .verified(let transaction): if transaction.revocationDate != nil { print("unsubscribe:\(transaction)") break } if transaction.offerType == .code,let code = transaction.offerID { print("Have promoCode") print("promoCode: \(code)") let dateF = DateFormatter() dateF.dateFormat = "yyyy.MM.dd HH.mm.ss" if let expireDate = transaction.expirationDate { print("endTime:\(dateF.string(from: expireDate))") } } //.consumable,.nonConsumable,.autoRenewable,.nonRenewable if transaction.productType == .autoRenewable { print("Have subscription:\(transaction)") let dateF = DateFormatter() dateF.dateFormat = "yyyy.MM.dd HH.mm.ss" if let expireDate = transaction.expirationDate { print("endTime:\(dateF.string(from: expireDate))") } }else{ print("\(transaction)") } case .unverified(let unverifiedTransaction, let verificationError): print("checkProduct:error") } }

How to detect if an iPad is configured as a Shared iPad (Apple School Manager)?
I'm working on an iOS/iPadOS app and need to determine programmatically whether the device is a Shared iPad as configured through Apple School Manager (ASM). Shared iPads allow multiple users to sign in with Managed Apple IDs and are typically used in educational environments. I want to identify this configuration at runtime within my app. I’ve looked into UIDevice, NSProcessInfo, and MDM-related APIs but haven't found a reliable way to detect whether the current device is a Shared iPad. Is there an API or method to check if the current iPad is configured as a Shared iPad (via ASM)? Any guidance or code examples would be appreciated.

NoobScript : a new (php-esq) programming language for mac/iOS etc development
Noob Software has been working on a new programming language designed primarily for mac development, with a syntax similar to PHP and some aspects from JavaScript. To demonstrate this language i've released the code for one of my apps "Noob Music" https://github.com/noobsoftware/NoobMusic3 i would like to hear if people are interested in using this programming language. I think there are many benefits to the high level syntax and high level thinking, and not having to define datatypes and such. The language also supports multithreading using the "async" keyword prefixed in front of the function keyword, like you would do in JavaScript only with multithreading instead of interleaved processing. Pushing to array is threadsafe and some other functinonality as well and it is recommended to use a new class instance within each async function. I have relied heavily on using webviews for UI so there is a layout engine i have developed for native view elements in Cocoa which at this point ar primarily WebViews. The webviews can define a callback function to receive messages from JavaScript, so combining these methods you get a full fledged "web" development feeling for mac development, with HTML+CSS+JavaScript and NoobScript

BLE advertisement and scan response
Dear Apple: If a BLE advertisement carries both a 16-bit service UUIDs and a 128-bit service UUIDs along with a local name, the local name will be placed in the scan response, then when the advertisement is turned off, both the 16-bit and 128-bit service UUIDs disappear while the local name persists. Subsequently, when transmitting a new advertisement that includes the 16-bit service UUIDs and local name, the resulting advertisement contains two local names. What methods can be used to avoid having two local names appearing simultaneously?Thanks

Question regarding ethernet over USB-C
Hello, I have a question regarding the ethernet-over-USB-C stack within iOS/iPadOS. It seems that when manually assigning an IP on this interface within iOS, the IP is stored. Therefore, when disconnecting (the USB-C cable) and reconnecting to another device for a subsequent ethernet connection, the iOS device will always default to the previously assigned IP address (obviously, this isn't the case if the other end is a DHCP server). So, within the iPhone's Ethernet-over-USB-C driver, I was curious if iOS just keeps the assignment based on the MAC of the local USB-C interface, or is stored information tied to some other identifier? Is there a way to override this behavior? Thank you

iPhone 13 Pro stuck in DFU/Recovery after failed flash.
Installed the iOS 26 Beta on my iPhone 13 Pro last night, hated it. I wasn't aware that there is a supported way of restoring back to iOS18.5, so I (foolishly) opted to flash the iOS18.5 ispw file onto my device using a 3rd party tool. Now, my device is stuck in a state between. Unable to flash, unable to use itunes to restore, randomly gives error codes during restoration attempts. Worries my device may be lost permanently! Please advise.

Apple Music Preview URLs from MusicKit
Hey guys, I've been searching high and low for some clarity when it comes to this topic. Essentially, what is the legality/risk of using apple music previews in my app. Does Apple license the previews meaning they are fair to use as long as I link to that URL? Do i need to license every song individually? I can not find anything concrete out and while the apple team let my app (that currently plays preview urls) on the app store I know that doesn't necessarily legally cover me. Any input is appreciated, i know this is a pretty niche area.

AR WorldMap Relocalization for Identical houses.
i have a specific requirement as below. i have apartments in which i have 4 units and each unit will be of same layout. furniture etc.. might change but not walls and layout as far as i know. Step1: Now i will enter into one unit, scan the entire unit and save it using RoomPlan Api and at the end of the scan i will be saving the worldmap as well. Step2: i want to use the previously saved worldmap and enter into another unit and want to relocalize with only walls because the furniture might be different. is that possible. if not is there any otherway to achieve this functionality? i really appreciate you valuable time. Thankyou.
