After connecting to a Passpoint network on macOS, the SSID field is displayed as empty.
After connecting to a Passpoint network on macOS, the SSID field is displayed as empty. Bugs ? Passpoint connections are established and function correctly, with network communication unimpeded. However, a display issue where the SSID field is blank is present on macOS versions 13 through 15 inclusive. This issue persists even when utilizing connection profiles created with Apple Configurator. Help me. Thks

Apple Developer Enrollment Delay — No Updates for 24 Days
I’m trying to register an Apple Developer Account for my company. I uploaded all the required documents, but my initial application was rejected, and I was asked to provide notarized translations of my documents. I translated them and submitted everything for review on April 1. After a week without a response, I contacted Apple Support. They replied that the documents had been received and were under review. However, as of today, April 24, my account is still under review. I’ve sent five follow-up emails to Support asking for a status update on my case, but I haven’t received any replies. Has anyone faced a similar situation and could suggest what I can do to get a status update and finally complete the registration? If anyone from Apple Support is reading this, my case number is 20000098634973 and my Enrollment ID is J34432JQFC. Thank you in advance for your help.

Fitbit Google login Issue in WKWebView
I’m developing an app that has a Fitbit login page embedded in a WKWebView. On the Fitbit login page, there is a Google login button. When I try to log in to Fitbit via Google, some devices redirect back to the Fitbit login page even after entering the correct Google credentials. However, it works on the second attempt. I tested the same URL in the default browser, and it works fine when the page is loaded in the browser instead of inside the WebView. I tried the following workarounds but was unable to fix the issue: 1. Enabled JavaScript in WebView. 2. Tried cookie synchronization between WKWebsiteDataStore and HTTPCookieStorage.

Watch series 6 beta 11.4 issue
I updated my Apple Watch Series 6 before Apple withdrew beta 11.4 as an option. I see on forums that I am not alone with this issue. Many series 6 watches are now stuck in a boot loop. I hope Apple can resolve the issue for those of us that pushed the update to our watches before the issue was identified. Support were unable to assist.

How to Keep Live Activity in Expanded Dynamic Island State (ActivityKit, iOS 17+)
I'm building a Live Activity using ActivityKit in iOS, and I'm trying to understand how apps like Uber or Lyft manage to keep the Dynamic Island always in its expanded state, without transitioning through the compact phase. In my implementation, the Live Activity always starts in the compact state, and only expands temporarily when I interact with it. I've tried the following: Updating the ContentState frequently using activity.update(using:) I tried updating the activity every 1 second, but it didn’t make a difference. Leaving the compactLeading, compactTrailing, and minimal regions empty using EmptyView() — also didn’t change the behavior. Delaying the initial update by 1 second — no effect. What I'm trying to figure out: Is there any way to programmatically force or request the Dynamic Island to stay in the expanded state? Could this behavior be achieved through push updates, using apns-push-type: liveactivity and a high priority (apns-priority)? What I’m trying to achieve is similar to the behavior shown in the images below — the apps do not transition to the compact island, but instead displays the expanded view immediately. Example:

Unauthorized Access, Reinstalling software does not work
Hello! I am new here but could really use some support. For the last year or so I have been bugged by the feeling that my devices were not completely managed by myself. After this week I have seen my computer and devices do things on their own without me touching the keyboard. SO I am hoping someone here can help me get rid or at least get to the root of the problem as I do not know what else I can do! SO far I know they are accessing all my devices remotely but am unsure how they do it since someone times there is no wifi around, I'm thiniking bluetooth maybe or perhaps another form of devices talking and sharing info with each other. Any support helps!!!

mac mini m4 The camera is not working
I bought a Mac mini M4 and when I used it to sign up for a developer account, I was always encountered, it needed me to take a photo, but I didn't have a camera, so I used the iriun software to connect my phone to take a photo, it works fine in FaceTime, but when I take a photo in the Apple Developer app, the round photo frame is shown black. How can I make the camera work and if I buy a third-party camera?

Getting GTK auto complete/syntax highlighting to work on emacs on macOS
I recently wrote an article on getting gtk auto complete/syntax highlighting on macOS its a genuinely fun hobby to make portable software, and this method will ultimately help in porting software to the macOS platform a copy and paste: before I continue, I want to mention that emacs auto completion, using company-mode, is rather slow when it comes to parsing a ton files, and in some configurations, especially recursively when it comes to parsing and displaying functions and macros, even when using the semantic auto complete system, but I do believe it speeds up when you initially parse and save to ctags or when you build a semanticdb, functions such as g_signal_connect() and macros such as G_APPLICATION however, did not work with company modes auto complete, but worked with flycheck on the fly syntax checking, using this method, and I haven’t had time to perfect an emacs configuration; maybe some time next week you will need gtk installed from brew or ports, since gtk has trouble compiling from source on some Mac configurations. this method works with whatever version of gtk is reported by pkg-config –cflags (pkg-config --cflags gtk. you will also need pkg-config installed, multiple installations of gtk can be used and utilized but the emacs plugins you’ll need are (and you’ll need to connect to Melpa using list-packages https://melpa.org/#/getting-started to have these automatically downloaded and configured): company company-c-headers flycheck flycheck-pkg-config exec-path-from-shell (this allows x11emacs to read the shells configuration, may be option for terminal based emac uses) optional: function-args-mode, but when fa-show-auto is used, it breaks themes in emacs download all of them through M-x list-packages (which means pressing alt+x, macOS option+x, which should issue an input on the bottom of emacs, where the status bar is), after that, type list-packages or use auto completion, aka ctrl+tab to cycle through possible candidates open a c file (C-f ~/test.c) (which is control+x, macOS control+x) type in: M-x semantic-mode M-x semantic-customize-system-include-path in semantic-customize-system-include-path, add the path to the gtk version you intend to develop for, in my case /opt/homebrew/Cellar/gtk4/4.16.12/include/gtk-4.0 using the text based interface; you should be able to use your mouse (click ins after where it says /usr/include. semantic is included in emacs. options are automatically saved at command) M-x exec-path-from-shell-initialize M-x flycheck-mode M-x flycheck-pkg-config in flycheck-pkg-config, press enter, and then type the name of the version of gtk that provides valid input from pkg-config (ie gtk4) M-x global-company-mode if you need to bind ctrl+tab to auto complete, you can add this to your config (~/.emacs.d/init.el) (global-set-key (kbd “C-”) ‘company-semantic) this will do most of the grunt work when plugins are installed (ctrl-tab shows a window to auto complete, ctrl+` (thats the key before 1, with shift it becomes ~) shows function argument. fa-show-auto automatically shows function prototypes, but can break emacs themes: (require ‘package) (add-to-list ‘package-archives ‘(“melpa” . “https://melpa.org/packages/”) t) ;; Comment/uncomment this line to enable MELPA Stable if desired. See package-archive-priorities ;; and package-pinned-packages. Most users will not need or want to do this. ;;(add-to-list ‘package-archives ‘(“melpa-stable” . “https://stable.melpa.org/packages/”) t) (package-initialize) (global-company-mode t) (global-flycheck-mode t) (semantic-mode t) (function-args-mode) (global-company-mode t) (global-flycheck-mode t) (semantic-mode t) (function-args-mode) (global-set-key (kbd “C-”) ‘company-semantic) (global-set-key (kbd “C-`”) ‘fa-show) if you need to compile from inside emacs, I would make a Makefile according to the gtk tutorial on gtk.org I also have another article on getting Xcode to work with gtk, which is more reliable: https://unix-world.com/2025/01/25/getting-gtk4-to-work-in-xcode-with-auto-complete-and-syntax-highlighting/ website is unix-world.com and I welcome any and all traffic !

Skip the "Do you want to open ?" Modal
We have an Angular web application which gets installed as a webclip on client iPads. The web application has buttons that will take the user directly to our native iOS application. We also would like a way for our webclip application when opened to perform some data lookups and if certain conditions are met, then take the user directly to our native iOS app. We're using vanilla JS window.open. This works well when the user manually taps button. However, this does not work when the webclip application tries to open the native iOS app without user interaction. In that case the window.open does nothing. The window.open target URL is the exact same in both cases. We tried using URL Schemes instead of Universal Links but with this the iPad displays a modal asking "Do you want to open ?". For our use case, this is unacceptable. Is there any way for us to skip this prompt? We'd like there to be no additional action needed from the user to be able to get from webclip to native iOS app beyond simply opening the webclip.

Hacker accessing my iCloud and iPhone
A a group of hackers have been illegally accessing my iPhone, all my accounts on my phone, my online university portal, all my stored passwords, and my iCloud. I have changes to my iPhone that I did not do. No one has had access to my iPhone other than myself. I have been dealing with these hackers for five+yrs. they have locked me out of my accounts for several years by changing all my login information. They have disabled my laptop and they have reset my previous phone remotely. I was sent a message from my provide t-mobile that they locked my phone due to someone trying to remotely reset it. Now I am dealing with the same people again. My iphone heats up tremendously, my battery drains constantly, I cannot access my accounts because they are changing my passwords, and now they have disabled access to my sim.

How to request several models simultaneously
I am using HelloPhotogrammetry in Xcode I can make one model with something like HelloPhotogrammetry.main([path_to_folder_of images, path_to_output/model.usdz, "-d", "medium", "-o", "unordered", "-f", "high" ]) But how would I request several models simultaneously? I only want to vary the detail. [ ("/Users/you/Desktop/model_medium.usdz", detail: .medium), ("/Users/you/Desktop/model_full.usdz", detail: .full), ("/Users/you/Desktop/model_raw.usdz", detail: .raw ]

Printing error
Back in December 2024 I noticed when I go through the steps to print I would get an error to cancel or retry. We have 4 iPhones and 3 had the newest IOS and those 3 would get the same error. The phone that had old ios 17 something the print would work. Called Apple and did troubleshooting, the opened something on apples end for the developer to investigate. Within 2 weeks a new ios was available and fixed the issue on the 3 phones that could not print. I did the latest update February and March 2025 on all 4 phones thinking no way the issue will happen again and if did all 4 phone cannot print. Is there an iOS bug that is affecting printing ios 18.3.2.

App logout every time delete from open aps
Hi, I am testing my app with TestFlight. The app is developed with React Native Expo. Step 1: Log into the app – everything works fine. Step 2: Use the app – everything works fine. Step 3: Close the app without logging out, just close it. Step 4: Remove the app from the recent apps window. Step 5: Try to open the app again, but it requires login again. I don’t understand why the login parameters are not retained and why the app asks me to log in again. Code used for login handling: import AsyncStorage from "@react-native-async-storage/async-storage"; useEffect(() => { const loadToken = async () => { const token = await AsyncStorage.getItem(TOKEN_KEY); if(token) { axiosInstance.defaults.headers.common['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${token}`; try { const response = await axiosInstance.get('/auth/check'); const data = response.data; setSession(token); setUser(data.user); } catch (e) { setSession(null); setUser(null); } } } loadToken().then(() => setIsLoading(false)); }, []); Important Note: This issue only occurs when we switch to production. In the test environment, everything works fine, and we don’t experience this problem. However, as soon as we build for production and test on multiple devices, this issue appears. Thanks in advance!

I noticed that the Uber Driver app is able to get location in background without the permissions (How?)
The Uber Driver app is able to get background location and there’s no way to turn it off from settings. Unlike other apps where there’s always an option to turn off background location from settings. Is this a bug or special treatment for big companies? this matters to me because we’re in a similar business but our app has to request background permissions, explicitly. I am attaching both of the screenshots here for you to compare and see. Please note that I verified personally that Uber Driver app is able to get background location.
