System Data full after clearing safari, messages, offloading apps/reinstalling apps
I‘m getting tired of having to reinstall apps because of the amount of datas. I deleted alot of photos. Deleted apps. The thing that gets my storage full is the System data. I searched up for tutorials, it was full with clearing safari history or deleting old messages, offloading apps. I did them all, none of them decreased my system data and its at 12GB while my phone‘s GB is only up to 64GB. I use IOS 16 Iphone 11. Can someone help?

Download and Store Custom Notification Sound for Playback in All App States (Foreground, Background, and Terminated)
I want to implement a feature where a custom notification sound file is downloaded from the server when the app is first launched and stored locally on the device. When a push notification arrives, the stored sound should be played in all app states, including foreground, background, and terminated (killed) state. Does anyone have an idea on how to implement this in iOS? Specifically, I am looking for guidance on: 1)Downloading and storing the sound file securely on the device. 2)Using the locally stored file for push notification sounds. 3)Ensuring the sound plays correctly in all states, including when the app is not running.

EAP-TLS Wi-Fi and VPN Certificate Authentication – Unexpected Keychain Prompts on macOS
Hello all, We are in the process of deploying EAP-TLS Wi-Fi authentication across our corporate environment for both Windows and macOS devices. All endpoints are managed via Workspace ONE. As part of our macOS configuration, we are pushing device certificates to the login keychain of managed MacBooks. For testing purposes, we have explicitly set the Access Control List (ACL) of the associated private key to allow all applications access. This includes: eapolclient, which handles the EAP-TLS handshake for Wi-Fi panGPS, which is responsible for establishing the GlobalProtect VPN connection (we are using certificate-based authentication with pre-logon enabled) Additionally, we have configured and deployed a Wi-Fi profile via Workspace ONE to prevent users from having to manually select their device certificate - basically the identity preference card in Keychain Access. Despite these settings, we are still encountering Keychain Access prompts when eapolclient attempts to access the private key. This happens even though the key is configured to allow all applications access. This behavior is unexpected, and we’re trying to understand why these prompts persist. Has anyone encountered similar behavior on macOS, or is there something we're missing in terms of permissions or keychain configuration that could be causing this? We would greatly appreciate any insight or guidance. Thank you, Kyo

iOS 26 : iPhone 16 Pro not charging via USB-C
Hello, I installed iOS 26 beta 1 yesterday when it came off but now, when I plug my iPhone, it just do nothing. I can charge it via the induction charger but I can't via USB-C port. The other way I can charge it is by turning my iPhone off and plugging it so it starts and then it charges via USB-C Port even when it starts. The thing is that when I unplug the cable and try to plug it back in, it doesn't charge anymore... I tried to put the restore mode (with the Mac and the cable on the screen) and even the DFU Mode but the iPhone is not detected by my Macbook and it's the same thing for my Windows PC : not detected... I also tried to erase the settings and content but same issue... Not charging Apple Store can do nothing because it's a dev beta... Am I the only one to have that issue ?

Personal Voice fails to complete
I have an iPhone 14 running iOS 26 Beta 2 that I wanted to start using Personal Voice on. It allowed me to complete the recordings and start the process, however even with the phone charging and locked the process hangs. It is connected to WiFi and cellular while attempting to run. It is connected to a 20W apple charger with an offical cable. I have a sneaking feeling it's related to me running the iOS beta on this device. I've provided some info below. iOS 26 Beta 2 iPhone 14 128gb Model MPUF3ZD/A No SIM restrictions

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.

Making music….
Maybe a bit of a simplistic question, but…. Best ways to create music - programmatically - within an app? I have a few small, simple games that I would like to add some background music to. I’ve fiddled with AVAudio, SKAudio, and now AudioKit. I’m just not quite finding the holy grail of music generation. I don’t know if it’s more technique or tool. So I thought I’d hit up the pool of minds here for some suggestions…?

App Notifications - Audible Alert Schedule
Hi all, First time poster :) I am interested to understand if it is possible to set a notification alert within an application. I am building an application on internet connectivity health but want users to be able to choose a time when the notification is audible or silent. (appreciate you can set the device to a status where notifications are silenced) Within the application if they choose to be alerted to critical alerts, I would like them to be able to choose a time period when the alerts should be silent or when they should be audible. Who wants alert on your internet at 2am when Maintenace windows open up? Cheers Dan

Please help as I have files saved to my phone and not anywhere else.

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.

IOS 26
I recent installed IOS 26, with my iphone 15 as a machine. I am experiencing glitch on switching apps, switching users in a specific apps. Delay is also visible when unlocking the phone, typing, touching the screen, going back to the previous app (clicking the arrow button on the top left). When using a two fingers navigating the phone, the other finger is unrecognizable when clicking on to something. Overall, UI were elegant and amazing. Please fix the responsiveness and may consider lower versions of iphone when possible.

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
