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
I have been using US Cellular without any issues, and my previous device worked seamlessly with a stable connection. However, after updating to iOS 18.3 (22D5040d), I have been experiencing significant connectivity problems. In most locations, I have no internet access, and when I do, the speeds are extremely slow, typically around 2 Mbps at best.
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💖

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.

Product & Version:
iOS 17.5.1 (21F90) – reproducible since iOS 13
Test devices: iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, iPad (10th gen)
Category:
UIKit → Text Input / Keyboard
Summary:
If the system “Save Password?” prompt (shown by iCloud Keychain after a successful login) is onscreen and the user sends the app to background (Home gesture / App Switcher), the prompt is automatically dismissed. When the app returns to foreground, the keyboard does not appear, and text input is impossible in the entire app until it is force-quit.
Steps to Reproduce:
Run any app from AppStore that shows "Save Password" alert.
Enter any credentials and tap Login, iOS shows the system “Save Password?” alert.
Without interacting with the alert, swipe up to the Home screen (or open the App Switcher).
Reactivate the app.
Tap the text field in the app.
Hi all,
I’m not a developer, but I’m hoping someone with iOS system or network experience can help me understand some very persistent and unusual behavior on my iPhone. I’ve gathered system logs and app-level diagnostics and would really appreciate insight from anyone familiar with daemons, VPN tunnels, or MDM behavior on Apple platforms.
Summary of Issues Over Time
March 2025: Most apps begin logging out automatically when closed
April 2025: Passwords across apps and browsers begin failing
May–June 2025: Gmail password reset emails stop arriving (even though other email works)
These symptoms suggest something affecting secure sessions, DNS routing, or background data handling. I began running diagnostics and found unexpected system and network behaviors:
Examples:
com.apple.mobile.lockdown.remote.trusted
file_relay.shim.remote
pcapd.shim.remote
webinspector.shim.remote
bluetooth.BTPacketLogger.shim.remote
On a normal, non-jailbroken device, I wouldn't expect so many .shim.remote or .diagnostic services to be active. Is this expected on iOS 18.5?
The binary /usr/sbin/scutil appears to be missing.
This breaks commands like:
scutil --dns
scutil --proxy
scutil --nc list
On a standard iOS device, is it even possible for scutil to be removed or disabled?
App Behavior and Config Locking (Cloudflare WARP Log)
From the logs of the Cloudflare WARP app (not enterprise-managed):
The app repeatedly forces VPN tunnels to reconnect or restart by injecting dummy URLs (force OS to restart the network extension process).
It tries to load policy configuration from MDM and Teams APIs (even though no MDM appears in Settings).
Many config items are marked as:
locked: true, visible: true
including:
DNS logs
Fallback DNS
Trusted WiFi settings
The account is labeled as:
WarpAccountRole.child
which may explain some restrictions — but I’ve never set this manually.
This seems more advanced than what the standard WARP app does. Could a provisioning profile or side-loaded config be applying these?
Key Questions for the Community
Are ~50 remote diagnostic services (.shim.remote) normal on iOS 18.5 stock devices?
Could a VPN app (e.g. WARP) or hidden config enforce flow-switching across interfaces like ipsec, awdl, and pdp_ip, even when not visibly active?
Can a provisioning profile or managed config enable services like file_relay, pcapd, or webinspector silently — without any visible MDM profile?
Has anyone seen scutil or other network tools missing on a stock iPhone? What could cause this?
Does WARP in MASQUE mode normally lock DNS settings and force tunnel restarts — or could this indicate tampering?
If anyone on iOS 18.5 / iPhone17,1 can share their remotectl_dumpstate output, I'd love to compare.
Happy to share sanitized logs or run more tests if helpful. Thank you for any insights — especially from those familiar with internal services, VPN frameworks, or supervised profiles.

As soon as I launch, Mail and Safari crash. I hope this is temporary. Tahoe 26.0 Beta
Updated iPhone to 26 beta 2, everything is ok but battery, battery is changed, not original. My phone can't charge higher than 1% and turns off every 5 minutes, even connecting to wireless charger and cable at the same time don't work, restored iPhone thru iTunes.I hope I will be able to install new beta without any problems because loving the new design,hoping for the best. Thanks.
I have an app that was written in UIKit. It's too large, and it would be much too time consuming at this point to convert it to SwiftUI.
I want to incorporate the new limited contacts into this app. The way it's currently written everything works fine except for showing the limited contacts in the contact picker.
I have downloaded and gone though the Apple tutorial app but I'm having trouble thinking it through into UIKit. After a couple of hours I decided I need help.
I understand I need to pull the contact IDs of the contacts that are in the limited contacts list. Not sure how to do that or how to get it to display in the picker. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

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.

In the instructions, it states that you need to submit an essay for the question. Am I to answer all the questions in the form of my essay? I do not see a place to submit an essay.
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

Hey everyone,
I'm currently working on Carplay intergration in my audio app. While exploring Apple Music on carplay, i found this kind of display:
This is a grid of items in a list (i'm on iOS 18 when testing this), but i didn't find anything in developer documentation that would allow me to have this kind of display.
Is this something apple specific, or can i achieve this ? I tried using the grid template but it's not as pretty, nor as flexible as this.
Thanks for your help !
