I have tried everything. Different addresses, different credit cards, then it appears pending, but the credit card is never charged and then it "resets", meaning I can do the whole process again as if nothing had happened. I have already sent an email to Apple and I have not had a response either. How can I move forward? Some help. Greetings!
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:
Hi,
EtreCheck
I could really use some help with this, as I haven’t been able to find much concrete info.
I mistakenly updated my MacBook to the 15.5 beta, and while I can’t say with 100% certainty that the issues started immediately after, I’ve been experiencing consistent kernel panics every time the machine wakes from sleep — it restarts completely and throws an error.
I’m really hoping this isn’t a hardware issue. The MacBook is just over two years old, and I rely on it daily for work — replacing it right now isn’t an option.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a Time Machine backup to roll back to. I’ve already wiped the machine and reinstalled macOS via recovery mode, and Apple Diagnostics isn’t showing any hardware problems.
Just to rule it out: I’m not using any external devices — no docks, Thunderbolt accessories, or anything else plugged in.
I came across EtreCheck as a recommended tool, and I’ve included the results below. If anyone is able to help interpret them or point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it. I’ve since unenrolled from the beta and turned off automatic updates — I’m just hoping this is a beta-related bug that resolves with the next stable release.
Thanks in advance for any guidance.

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.

m personal iPhone is managed by an Unauthorized and Unknown mdm management team, The profile isn’t showing up in VPN Settings and I can’t remove them from having Remote access and control over my Personal Device! I’ve SPENT MANY MONTHS TRYING TO GET SUPPORT VIA EMAILING APPLE DEVELOPER AND SPEAKING TO APPLE SUPPORT WHICH HAS BEEN EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING AND HUMILIATIN! I’ve resorted to contacting Internet crime websit, the federal trade commissio, Better business bureau and Consumer Affairs to file an online complaint against Apple for not complying with their Security and Privacy policy for consumers accounts!
Because of this unauthorized and unknown mdm devi management profile I don’t have COMPLETE CONTROL OVER MY OWN IPHONE!

Can iOS support Bluetooth trackpad?

Hi everyone,
We’re seeing a rare but frustrating issue in our iOS VoIP app and would appreciate any advice.
What’s happening:
In some VoIP calls between two users (let’s say A and B), B can’t hear A’s voice, but A can still hear B just fine.
It doesn’t happen often, but once it does, the issue persists until the device is restarted.
Users who experience this issue typically have other voice or conferencing apps installed and actively use them.
They report that when our app runs into this problem, those other apps continue to work normally.
⸻
What we’ve ruled out:
• AVAudioSession has microphone permission, and audio input works under normal conditions
• Network conditions are stable
• App-side logic seems solid — the issue occurs extremely rarely (e.g., 1 out of several thousand calls), making it unlikely to be caused by a consistent bug in our call flow
⸻
What we’ve tried to fix it (all ineffective):
Restarting the call — no effect
Force-quitting and relaunching the app — no effect
Toggling Bluetooth: disconnecting and reconnecting audio route, or switching back to built-in mic — no effect
Replugging wired headphones or switching to the default iPhone audio input — no effect
⸻
What actually works (so far):
• Restarting the device — this is the only action that reliably fixes the issue
⸻
What we’re looking for help with:
1. Does this sound like an iOS-level AVAudioSession routing or audio stack issue?
2. Is there any way to recover from this state without rebooting the device — either through iOS system settings or programmatically?
3. Are there any known audio routing or input bugs in iOS that match this behavior?
Thanks in advance — any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I want to write a workflow in XCode cloud which will perform analysis on the PRs. PRs will be dynamic, so my workflow must get the name of branch from the PR and perform sonar analysis on it. It must check the unit tests coverage on new lines. The scope of the workflow will be only inside the PR not on the complete develop branch.
My team and I are currently working on an app, that enable user especially in Nigeria who are having issues with crediting thier Apple account in other to carry out some transactions such as Apple Music subscription and co. This project wI’ll grant user easy access.
We are currently seeking assist and API Support
Hi,
Whatsapp on my MacBook Pro (2021) running MacOS 26 launches all by itself whenever I receive a new message. How does this happen and is there a fix for this? I'm worried it might be some privacy issue?

We are a technical team of a large enterprise whose main business depends on internally developed iOS applications. Our Apple enterprise developer account expires on February 16th, and we filled in the renewal application form before that, but it was rejected by Apple. We contacted the Apple consultant through Apple's official website, and they said that the enterprise department is a separate department, and they could not solve my problem. Later, after efforts, I directly contacted the email address of the enterprise department, and I explained our situation. After their review, the final plan still could not renew, but only extended the use of our P12 certificate, and the maximum extension was one year in the end, so that we can deal with the application that is being distributed by the enterprise as soon as possible. May I ask if there is any better way to successfully renew my account? We only extended the certificate, which is not what we want, but this is the only way at present. If there is a good way to communicate, please check my personal information and have my email address for communication. Thank you all
This is my first problem and my first question hopefully somebody can help or give me some suggestions. I was in the developr beta of IOS 26 build(235260n) for a while I haven't updated it since the new beat has came out, beta 3. I have been trying to update requested, after about 20 seconds it goes away but does not start the download the update. The problem also begins to download something into the system beta goes from 22.85 GB to 33.78 GB. It just holds the update but doesn't;t update the phone. I have tried power cycling the device and everytime I do that it just resets the system data and allows up to try the update again. Unsure what to do and don't know if I would need to wait for the public beta for IOS26 to change anything on the device. Please let me know if you guys have any more suggestions what should be the next step. I also was unsure if I should backup the device and reinstall it to make sure that its not something with the conncetion.

I don't want to lose my date and i don't know what to do
Please help
Over 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.
Device Information
Model: iPhone17,1 (A17 chip)
iOS Version: 18.5 (Build 22F76)
Status: Stock, not jailbroken or running a developer build
Region: Netherlands
Carrier: KPN NL
Language/Locale: Dutch (nl-NL)
1. Evidence of Remote Services and XPC Connectivity
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 — indicate tunnelling?
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)
The absence of scutil is not expected right?
Unusual Resource Usage
Source: assetsd.diskwrites_resource-2025-06-25.json
assetsd, working on behalf of cloudphotod, wrote over 1 GB of memory-backed files in under 1.5 hours.
4. Metadata Confirmation
Source: Analytics-2025-06-27-020008.json
Confirms:
iPhone capacity: 256 GB
DRAM: 7.5 GB
Carrier: KPN NL
Apps marked as highly active ("Games", "Creativity") in analytics also appear as defunct in skywalk, suggesting ghost background processes.
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.

We’re integrating Sign in with Apple using Apple’s official JavaScript SDK:
https://appleid.cdn-apple.com/appleauth/static/jsapi/appleid/1/en_US/appleid.auth.js
We’ve successfully used this setup with an older Service ID, but when we try to use any newly created Service ID, we get the following error immediately when calling AppleID.auth.signIn():
invalid_client
This happens before any request reaches our backend. The same flow, redirect URI, and frontend code works fine with an old Service ID — but fails with new ones.
✅ What We’ve Verified:
The Service ID (e.g., com.projectx.web.login) is created under Apple Developer → Identifiers → Service IDs
The redirect URI is correct and matches exactly (HTTPS, no trailing slash)
No client_secret is passed in the frontend (by design)
We’re using usePopup: true
❌ What Doesn’t Work:
Any new Service ID we create — even on the same domain and configuration — fails with invalid_client.
🔁 What We’ve Tried:
Creating multiple new Service IDs
Waiting 48+ hours in case of propagation delays
Validating HTTPS and redirect URI setup
Comparing all settings with the working (older) Service ID (which we deleted since we thought that was causing a problem)
Testing in different environments and browsers
❓ Questions:
Why do newly created Service IDs fail with invalid_client while older ones work?
Are there undocumented requirements, propagation delays, or steps for new Service IDs to become active?
Is this a known limitation or bug in the SDK?
💻 Our Code:

import api from "../utils/api"; // Axios wrapper

});
localStorage.setItem("accessToken", res.data.accessToken);
localStorage.setItem("refreshToken", res.data.refreshToken);
navigate("/app")
} else {
setApiError("Unrecognized login method")
return;
}
} catch (err) {
console.error("Apple Sign-In failed", err);
setApiError("AppleSignInFailed");
}
};
return (
<Box mt={2}>
<Button
variant="outlined"
fullWidth
onClick={handleAppleLogin}
className="AuthAppleButton"
startIcon={<AppleIcon />}
>
Log in with Apple
</Button>
</Box>
);
};
export default AppleLogInButton;
Any help from the Apple team or anyone who's resolved this issue would be appreciated — we’re currently blocked on deploying new environments due to this error.
Thanks!

My main app is CardView based w/programmatic navigation.. My secondary app is a nice EventListView w/programmatic navigation. Both are functional with no errors.
I want to add an event list to my CardView app but the appearance is all wrong. See image. The blue swirl at bottom is all of my List that appears.
I can post images of code, if needed.
My question is this - can I combine CardViews and ListViews?

Hello,
i just noticed that when i download an app through the App Store on my iPhone, the app i downloaded does not appear on my home screen or in the App Library.
is there any work around for me to make them appear at least in the App Library?
the only way to open or to place an app on my home screen I downloaded after upgrading to iOS 18.4 Beta 3 is to search for it in Spotlight or in the App Store.
Any apps I downloaded before upgrading to iOS 18.4 Beta 3 is still on my home screen or in the App Library.
i am currently running iOS 18.4 Beta 3 on an iPhone 16 Pro

I just upgraded to iOS 26.0 Now when I use car play, the text messages do not show up, only the notification tone on my phone alarms. So now when I get texts while driving, I need to read my phone to read the text. I tried all the solutions within settings but this is a BIG DRAWBACK compared to the old iOS.

I submitted my ID for review over a week ago, and it's still the same, I can't log in App Store Connect?
How long have you been waiting?
Have a nice day.
