Have not received weekly analytics email for over a month
The last "App Store Connect: App Analytics Weekly Summary" email I received was June 3. My apps are still up and the emails are not going to spam. In my Apple Developer settings, "App Analytics Weekly Email Summary" is still set to on (i.e. "Receive a weekly email."). Coincidentally, on June 9 I received an email about updated agreements and guidelines, which I hadn't logged in to accept until today. Is this related, and if so, why should it be? If something else is causing the missing emails, how can that be resolved?

Brightness slider UI bug when long-pressed in iOS 26
Hi! I found a UI bug in iOS 26.0 (23A5276f). When you swipe down from the top right to open Control Center and adjust brightness using the slider, everything looks normal. However, if you long-press the brightness slider, the brightness knob detaches from the base. The button becomes smaller while the frame remains the same, making the UI asymmetrical and misaligned. This happens consistently and is clearly a layout issue.

Mac Studio – Wake from sleep – Desktop picture not stretching to fill Desktop
On wake from sleep the Mac Studio's Desktop picture is shown in actual resolution instead of stretched to fit screen. For example, a picture which is 2059 × 1371 is shown at that resolution on a 5K Retina screen and so only fills about 60% of the screen area. It starts with the picture positioned in the top left corner but sometimes moves down the screen. This behaviour does not change if the screen is scaled up or down – the picture size is also scaled. Notice that icons on the Desktop are displayed in the correct position. At the same time, the Dock is shown at the bottom of the picture instead of at the bottom of the screen. Usually, the Desktop redisplays correctly. But increasingly, the only solution is to log out and in again. This might be related to my other question on the Desktop picture Pref Pane. See attached example which is a full screen capture i.e. command-shift-3 (with my personal details obscured):

Guided Capture iOS analysis phase time?
I've just watched "Meet Object Capture for iOS wwdc23" and have installed and run the app. After taking > 120 images of my model I clicked the "Finish" button and the app is now showing a spinning pinwheel. It has been running for about 22 hours. Is it going to finish or should I kill it? TIA!

Unable to register for Swift Student Challenge Meet with Apple Session
Pretty much what the title says, I received the email from Apple today regarding the three sessions that are being conducted for participants. When I open the link, I'm shown the button to register, but when I click register, I'm asked to log in, following which I'm redirected back to the same page except the register button is now missing. I'm unsure if it has registered me, and I haven't received any email confirming the same.

How will my app be tested in the Swift Student Challenge?
Hello, I’m developing my project for the Swift Student Challenge and I have some questions about the platform it will be tested on. If I create an iOS app that uses ARKit, for example, will it be evaluated on a real iPhone or only in a simulator on a Mac? I ask this because some functionalities, such as camera-based augmented reality, don’t work properly in the simulator. I’d like to better understand the guidelines to ensure my project functions correctly during the evaluation. Thank you!

iOS 26 Developer Beta Issues
Hi, I’ve recently installed the iOS 26 DB, and I’m experiencing heating issues on my iPhone. Is there a fix to this? Also, is it a bug or a feature, that I can’t remove certain sections in the Photos app rather than rearranging them. Pls lemme know. Thanks.

Unify Native iOS Utility Apps into a Single Modular AI-Enhanced App (Apple Assist)
Hello Apple Developer Community, I'd like to propose a system-wide enhancement for future versions of iOS: the integration of native utility apps — Calculator, Compass, Voice Memos, Magnifier, Measure, Weather, and Translate — into a single unified app, tentatively called Apple Assist. The vision is to provide: A modular interface where users can enable/disable tools as needed. Smarter workflows with proactive suggestions based on context (time, location, task). AI-powered interaction through voice and Apple Intelligence (Advanced Siri). Benefits: Reduces icon clutter on the Home Screen. Simplifies the user experience with a single access point. Creates opportunities for automation and accessibility. Imagine saying: “Hey Siri, record a quick note and measure the table” — and the app smartly loads those modules on demand. Would love to hear feedback from the community — and whether Apple might consider something in this direction for iOS 19 or beyond. Best regards, Jose Luiz Horta Barbosa Maurity Cruz

iOS 26: iPhone will not power on stuck on battery screen
I set iOS 26 to install overnight, put my iPhone 16 Pro on the MagSafe charger, watched it charge just fine, and went to sleep. When I woke up the iPhone showed the “plug into power” dead battery screen. I took it off MagSafe and put it back on. A half hour later the phone was warm but still wouldn’t power on, just showed the battery screen with a little red in it. I took it off MagSafe and plugged it into my iPad charging brick with USB cable to give it more power, still it did not turn on. I tried holding all the buttons to try to force a restart but didn’t work. For anyone else encountering this, do this to enter DFU mode and restore it. I had to do it a few times before I got the timing right. Plug into your Mac and open Finder (or apparently a PC with Apple Devices or iTunes) Press and quickly release volume up Press and quickly release volume down Press and hold right side button When the battery disappears and screen goes black, hold volume down and continue holding side button After a couple seconds release the side button and continue holding volume down A prompt to allow connecting to the iPhone should appear after a couple seconds, click Allow, and it’ll say the iPhone entered DFU mode - proceed to restore the firmware

Terrible treatment by Apple Dev support team
I paid for my developer account on the 13th of June 2024 (1 week ago). My ID was approved. However, I still don't have access to the account. When I go to check the status of it, it is asking me to pay again. I then tried to email the team, however only received useless, timewasting responses, such as "Please go to developer.apple.com/enroll to enroll for an apple dev account", which I already told them prompts me to pay again and verify my ID again. I then tried to call them, and they said they had to re-verify my ID and would call me back in 10 mins, but I never received a call back. I also couldn't call them again because it wouldn't let me request another call from them. I then emailed them, but still haven't received a response. The next day I tried to request another call from them, during their opening hours at Thursday 4pm AEST, (they are open Mon-Fri 9am-5pm AEST see https://developer.apple.com/support/worldwide-telephone-hours/) however it still says that "Phone support is currently unavailable". I tried to email them but now I am getting no responses at all. I tried to contact the apple support through the iMessage chat, however I was only put on call with a lady who was helpful, but couldn't even do anything as she was only generic support. She couldn't even schedule me a call or transfer me to the developer team, even though it was within their working and calling/support hours. I have tried to refund my developer account, but apparently that purchase is "illegible for a refund". This is the treatment I get from apple for paying $100 USD. An entire week of being left on blank. I don't know what to do. I paid 100 bucks for an account which I can't even use, and the support hasn't helped me for an entire week. My emails being left on blank, and I can't even call them. If anyone from apple or anyone that could help me sees this, please contact me ASAP at makrypodisc@ hotmail.com or reply to this thread. Thank you.

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.

Can I Use Xcode and iPadOS 18? (and RealityView)
I'm preparing my submission for the Swift Student Challenge, and I have a couple of questions regarding the development environment. Is it allowed to use Xcode to program my scene, or do I have to use Swift Playgrounds? Can I use iPadOS 18 for development? I noticed that Swift Playgrounds currently only supports up to iPadOS 17.5, but I would like to use RealityView, which is only available starting from iPadOS 18. I appreciate any clarification on this. Thanks in advance!
