I have two feedbacks now where I’ve been requested additional info, and provided it, but the feedback still has an “unread” dot, and is still in the “Requests” folder. I’ve asked multiple times to clear this status in one of those feedbacks (FB14888965), but got no response.
Not the end of the world as long as the engineers are notified, but iirc the dot would disappear as soon as I replied.

Simply opening Simulator app (26.0) causes high CPU usage on macOS Tahoe (26.1).
ReportCrash process usage is very high throughout and causes the system to heat up pretty soon.
Looking into Console app for the logs found MercuryPosterExtension process is keep on crashing. (Check under Crash Reports)

Share the Simulator Diagnose report while reporting, Thanks.
I have raised a ticket/feedback with Apple. I request all of you to raise one too so this gets fixed soon.

But after downgrading the version to 16.2 it works fine. I can't understand that it's their any issue with Command Line Tools 16.3??
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out the behavior of AssetPackManager.shared.remove(assetPackWithID: ).
I'm working with MapKit tiles and currently working on trying projecting them correctly which involves serving the AssetPack locally, downloading, checking alignment, and then deleting and changing.
My question is that remove(assetPackWithID: ) completes successfully and the asset pack is removed. This is confirmed by trying to remove the AssetPack again which throws an error.
However, the asset is still appearing on MapKit after the removal. This is a bit odd as this persists not only with force killing, but also restarting the device.
Please advise on how to properly remove an AssetPack.
Thank you

Just recently, any pkg file that I create with pkgbuild will install the Payload's application as a zero-byte file in the /Applications directory. This has been working for years without issue for me.
Here are the commands I am using with company specific items replaced:
pkgbuild --analyze --root MyApplicationRootDirectory standalone.plist
plutil -replace BundleIsRelocatable -bool NO standalone.plist
pkgbuild --identifier MyIdentifier --version 1.0 --install-location /Applications --root MyApplicationRootDirectory --component-plist standalone.plist --sign 'Developer ID Installer: MyCompany (MySignId)' --timestamp installer.pkg
Any ideas on what could be causing the issue?
I have verified the following:
The application being added to the pkg is both signed and notarized using the correct Developer ID Application certificate.
The resultant pkg file is both signed and notarized using the Developer ID Installer certificate.
Verified the pkg contents using "pkgutil --expand" to dump the contents.
Verified the pkg's Payload contents by extracting the data using "cat Payload | gunzip | cpio -1". This results in an application file that is a binary match for file added in the "pkgbuild --root" argument.
My application is the only file within the directory passed to the "pkgbuild --root" argument.
There are no warnings in the System Settings / Privacy & Security Panel when running the package installer.
I have a valid Mac Developer account.
I am building the application and the pkg file on the same computer.
Thank you for any insight.
For example, what if I wanted to remove CoreData from the SDK when I install to reduce the SDK’s size?
I'm unable to sign in to Feedback Assistant on macOS. I have two Apple accounts and neither will sign in. I am able to sign in via the website. With the desktop app I'm getting a rather generic error message:

Subject: Assistance Needed with Enabling Speech Recognition Entitlement for iOS App
Hi everyone,
I’m seeking guidance regarding the Speech Recognition entitlement for my iOS app using Capacitor. Our App and we submitted a request to Apple Developer Support four days ago, but have not yet received a response.
🧩 Summary of the issue:
Our app uses the Capacitor speech recognition plugin (@capacitor-community/speech-recognition) to listen for native voice input on iOS.
We have added both of the required keys in Info.plist:
NSSpeechRecognitionUsageDescription
NSMicrophoneUsageDescription
We previously had a duplicate microphone key, which caused the system to silently skip the permission request. After removing the duplicate, we did briefly see the microphone permission prompt appear.
However, in our most recent builds, the app launches without any prompts, even on a fresh install. The plugin reports:
available = true
permissionStatus = granted
Despite this, no speech input is ever received, and the listener returns nothing.
We believe the app is functioning correctly at a code level (plugin loads, no errors, correct Info.plist), but suspect the missing Speech Recognition entitlement is blocking actual access to the speech system.
🔎 What we need help with:
How can we confirm whether the Speech Recognition entitlement is enabled for our App ID?
If it’s not enabled, is there a way to escalate or re-submit the request? Our app is currently stuck until this entitlement is granted.
Thank you for your time and any guidance you can offer!
I just noticed that when you check the online documentation for Foundation using the delicious Objective-C flavor, some values are no more the expected ones:
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/filemanager/copyitem(at:to:)?language=objc#return-value
true if the item was copied successfully or the file manager’s delegate stopped the operation deliberately. Returns false if an error occurred.
Considering that a BOOL used to be YES or NO for the last quarter of a century, I have the following question:
[Q] What is the idea behind the disturbing changes of the Objective-C documentation?
hey I accidentally deleted my info.plist with holds my app version and other critical things and I don't know how to get it back or how to recode it

We have universal links which takes user to various journeys in the app when user clicks on the link, however it works only when app is installed. If app is not installed link takes user to the App Store and when the user installs and opens the app, the link does not launch the intended deeplink flow.
Is there any way we can pass context to app store and receive it when user opens the app?
Android provides similar functionality using install referral lib. Checking if similar is possible in iOS.
I have one iOS device running iOS 16.7.10. When I run xcrun devicectl list devices I can't see that device at all. Is that know limitation (devicectl only work in iOS 17 and above) or is something wrong with my setup.
Also is there some documention about devicectl. I can't seem to find anything about in the offical apple sites.

For my app Find Any File, of which both releases and TestFlight betas were released many times, the TestFlight page tells me that several users have submitted crash reports. And I'm sure the same is true for the MAS releases:
(Yes, this shows quite recent ones, but I've seen similar supposed crash report submits in this list before.)
However, the actual "Crashes" listing on the appstoreconnect sites hasn't show any new crash reports for many months now:
(This is the entirety of crash reports I can get listed, even when removing all filters.)
Something appears to be stuck, on Apple's end.
The same issue is with Xcode's Organanizer window, for "Crashes": It also used to list only the same very old reports and nothing since May 2024. And just now, when I retried this in Xcode, I'm shown a weird error message I never saw before:
Error Downloading Crashes List
An error occurred… Access Restricted with adam id: 1207815783
And yes, I'm logged in just fine, under Prefs / Accounts.
How am I going to get this investigated? I had already sent an email about this to the Review team, who didn't react to it at all. DTS is only for Code level support, which this isn't.
Any help?
I have created and Ios app using xojo, and run using the Xcode simulator. I want to test it on my phone and don't seed to put it on the app store as it is for personal use. I've seen pages that indicate a free apple developer option is available for a limited time but can't for the live of me get my app to actually run on my phone. I've tried both apple configurator and xcode to add my app with no luck
I've been messing around with converting my app icons to use Icon Composer. My app has multiple app icons, but I've noticed that I cant seem to set .icon files using the alternate app icon api. I believe this is due to the requirement that alternate app icons live in the Assets Catalogue but .icon files go anywhere in your project. Is there any plan to support this? Or am i missing something?
I was able to successfully set a .icon file for the primary app icon.
We are developing a Flutter application targeted for MacOS and Windows . We are using the FlutterMacOS and connectivity_plus packages in our app
But whenever we are releasing a version to App Store we are getting the privacy manifest file missing for above 2 packages
We tried to add xcPrivacy file inside the Runner Xcode project. But that doesn't solve the issue
Adding the relevant lines from the warning email getting from App Store below

I'm trying to download the iOS 26 restore image for my iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is my test device. However, when I attempted to install it directly via the over-the-air (OTA) update, the iPhone rebooted to the iOS 26 "Welcome" screen, but with no touch functionality—the screen was completely unresponsive.
I restored the device back to iOS 18.5 and tried the OTA update again, but once more, the touch screen stopped working upon completion.
Now, I am trying to download the iOS 26 restore image from the official developer page (https://developer.apple.com/download/#ios-restore-images-ipad-new) to install it manually using my Mac. However, I've run into a problem with the download links:
The link for the iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 26) restore image actually downloads the iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 18.5) image.
Conversely, the link for the iPhone 14 Pro seems to provide the correct iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 26) image.
The issue is that when I try to restore my iPhone using this seemingly correct file, I receive an error that the firmware file is not valid or compatible. I suspect it's not being properly signed by Apple for my device during the restore process.
Does anyone have the correct, official download link for the iOS 26 restore image for the iPhone 14 Pro Max? How can I fix these errors?
Hello, I am experiencing crash on TopShelf and I checked all the crashlogs, but I don't know how to interpret it.
I see only addresses in the trace logs, so it's really hard to understand what's going on. Is there a way how to symbolicate frames 5 - 17?
Does anybody have an idea, what can be wrong?
Thanks in advance.

I have an Xcode project setup as follows:
3 static libraries
1 framework target, whose Mach-O type is set to Dynamic Library
main app target (iOS app)
The target dependencies are as follows:
In framework's build phase [Link with libraries], I have the 3 libs statically linked.
In the main app's build phase [Link with libraries], I have only the framework, which is dynamically linked.
As per my understanding:
The libs are statically linked to the framework. So, the framework binary would contain code from all the libs.
The framework is dynamically linked to the main app (iOS app in this case). So, the main app's binary only has a reference to the framework's binary, which would be loaded in the memory at runtime.
Assuming my understanding is correct, I'm stuck with the following problem:
All 3 libs build successfully
The framework builds successfully
The main app target doesn't build. The compilation is successful, but the build fails with linker errors.
Please let me know if I am doing something incorrectly, or if a configuration is missing. Below are more details:
The linker gives the following error:
Undefined symbols for architecture arm64:
"StringUtils.GetStr() -> Swift.String", referenced from:
dynamic_fw.AppDelegate.application(_: __C.UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: [__C.UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey : Any]?) -> Swift.Bool in AppDelegate.o
"TWUtils.GetNum() -> Swift.Int", referenced from:

And the command shown in the logs for linking phase is:

Hello,
I'm checking to see if anyone else is experiencing an issue downloading the latest beta simulator.
When I try to download the iOS 26 beta 5 simulator in Xcode, the download fails instantly. There is no progress, just an immediate error with no message other than the code itself: DVTDownloadableErrorDomain Code: 41.
I've already restarted both Xcode and the Mac multiple times. I have also tried downloading on different networks to rule out a firewall issue.
