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?

SwiftUI vs Flutter for Embedding Unity in an iOS App?
I need help. Looking for devs who’ve integrated Unity into a native iOS app (Swift/SwiftUI) SwiftUI vs Flutter for Embedding Unity in an iOS App? I’m planning an iOS-first app where users interact with a real-time 3D custom avatar with 52 blendshapes powered by Unity, using SALSA LipSync + Emoter for facial animation. The avatar will respond to voice using Whisper → GPT-4 → ElevenLabs. My plan is to embed Unity only for the avatar screen, and build the rest of the app (chat, voice input, onboarding, etc.) natively? Here’s the decision I’m stuck on: Should I stick with SwiftUI, since it gives full access to iOS-native features like ARKit, audio routing, and StoreKit? I only plan to develop for iOS. Has anyone here integrated Unity with Flutter for mobile app successfully? Any pitfalls or major limitations I should know about before going that route? I haven’t started development yet — just want to make sure I choose the right foundation for performance, flexibility, and long-term growth. Any experience would be hugely appreciated!

Keyboard becomes unresponsive after backgrounding app while iCloud Keychain “Save Password?” sheet is visible
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.

Installing macOS 26 on Partition
Hello, I’m wanting to install macOS 26 on a partition on my MacBook Pro so I can use the fully featured Xcode Beta. I was able to create the partition but am having trouble figuring out how to install the operating system on the partition because on the developer downloads site there is only .ispw files. What are the steps to do this successfully? Thanks. Kevin

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.

Running out of space with macOS Tahoe Developer Beta.
Earlier this afternoon I was about to update to the latest developer beta. Finder indicated that I had 12GB free, so I did some house cleaning and improved that to 21GB. I downloaded the beta and have had nothing but problems since. Mail complained: Mail cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder. Quit Mail and delete any files you don't need. Then open Mail again. Quit Restarted computer. Same problem. Opened Feedback Assistant. Tried to create a new ticket and got: The operation couldn't be completed. (NSSQLiteErrorDomain error 13.) Finder indicates 589MB free (New beta taking up 20GB after update???). Any suggestions?

Is this an ios 26 beta bug?
After updating my iPhone to iOS 26 beta, images displayed inside an in-app WebView (WKWebView) suddenly look almost black, as if a black overlay were sitting on top of them. The same image files are delivered from the server without any problems. I inspected the DOM and CSS in Safari’s remote debugger and confirmed that no extra overlay element or dark background layer is being injected. The effect only appears inside the WebView on iOS 26 beta; the same page renders correctly on earlier iOS versions and on desktop browsers. I would like to understand what change in iOS 26 beta could be causing this darkening effect.

Cannot enroll in Apple Developer Program Due to the Arbitrary Account Ban
I signed up for the Apple Developer Program because I am a computer student and need to complete the App on the shelves in the graduation project. Last week and today (2025/2/10), I gave feedback about the problem that my developer account registration Apple Developer Program process was blocked and suspended. It's strange that the telephone technical consultant said that my account has been locked to register as a developer account. By the way, when I got a problem in this process, I always contacted Apple Developer Support in China, not Apple Developer Support in the United States' office. Timeline Around 2023, I applied for the Apple Developer Program for the first time, using an iPhone 13. This application was used to register for the iOS Beta program to get access to the beta version of the iOS software. After submitting my name and identity document and taking a personal photo, I withdrew from the application process without further filling in my personal identity information (English name and address). In early February 2025, I used my current mobile phone iPhone 15 to fill in the personal information of the application process of the Developer Program originally launched in 2023, but after trying to submit it many times, the Developer App still showed "Verification Your identity" button. So I submitted my first support case. On February 8, 2025, I received a reply email from the support case and found that my application process had been reset. I re-filled in my name and ID number, took photos, and filled in my English name and address on my iPhone 15. This process is maintained on the same device and the same network. After submission, "Register Now" (gray, non-clickable) is displayed on the Developer App, and this status continues until now. I can't do any further operations to complete the application process. So I launched the second support case. Mighty Reasons It should be added that I used to use two Apple IDs on iPhone 13 and iPhone 15, that is, the device account and the Apple ID logged in to the App Store are two different IDs (but the identity information is mine). The telephone technical support said that it may have something to do with this. But there is no reason in the system at present. I have been using real identity information in the process, but because the process of applying for registration is too long, or the ID problem of device login, in short, my current registration process is still blocked. Who can tell me how to unlock or reset the registration process? If you can provide more information, I would appreciate it. 注册Apple Developer Program是因为我是一名计算机专业的学生且需要在毕业设计中完成App上架。上周以及今天(2025/2/10)我都反馈了关于我开发者账户注册Apple Developer Program流程被阻塞暂停的问题。电话技术顾问称我的账户已被锁定注册开发者账户,这很奇怪。 大约在2023年我首次申请过Apple Developer Program,使用一台iPhone13,此次申请是用于注册iOS Beta计划获取Beta版iOS软件的访问权限。我在提交姓名和身份证件、拍摄个人照片后,没有进一步填写个人身份信息(英文姓名和地址)而退出了申请流程。此外,在这个过程中遇到问题的时候我始终联系的都是中国的苹果开发者支持,而不是美国的苹果公司。 在2025年2月初我使用现在使用的手机iPhone 15填写了原先在2023年发起的Developer Program的申请流程的个人信息,但尝试提交多次后都在Developer App仍然显示“验证你的身份”按钮。于是我提交了第一次支持案例。 在2025/2/8我收到了支持案例的回复邮件并发现我的申请流程已经被重置。我在iPhone 15上重新填写了姓名和身份证号、拍摄照片、填写英文姓名和住址。这个过程保持在同一设备同一网络。提交后在Developer App上显示“立即注册”(灰色,不可点击),这个状态持续到现在。我无法进行进一步操作来完成申请流程。于是我发起了第二次支持案例。 需要补充的是,在iPhone 13和iPhone 15上我都曾经使用两个Apple ID,也就是设备账户与App Store 登录的Apple ID是不同的两个ID(但身份信息都是我的)。电话技术支持称可能和这个有关系。但是目前系统上没有任何原因。 我在流程中一直使用真实的身份信息,但由于申请注册的流程过长,或者设备登录的ID问题,总之我现在的注册流程仍然阻塞。 请问谁能告诉我该如何解锁或重置注册流程?如果有更多信息提供,不甚感激。

Smarter Wi-Fi Prioritization for Energy Efficiency.
Hey everyone, I've got a feature suggestion for iOS that I believe would significantly benefit users by optimizing battery life and data usage through more intelligent Wi-Fi prioritization. While iOS already favors Wi-Fi over cellular when available (due to its lower power consumption), there's room to enhance this behavior with more granular user control. My proposal is to introduce an explicit option: "Prioritize Wi-Fi for Energy Saving." How It Could Work Global Toggle (Settings > Wi-Fi or Settings > Battery): A simple switch that makes the iPhone more "aggressive" in maintaining a Wi-Fi connection. When active, it would reduce the likelihood of switching to cellular data during minor Wi-Fi signal fluctuations. This ensures the device stays on the more energy-efficient Wi-Fi network for longer periods, even if cellular signal is strong. This could also subtly influence Wi-Fi Assist, making it less eager to use cellular when Wi-Fi is slightly weak but still usable, prioritizing energy savings. Per-Network Option (Settings > Wi-Fi > [Network Name] > "i" icon): Adding an option like "Prioritize This Network for Energy Saving" within individual Wi-Fi network settings. This would be perfect for trusted networks like home or work, where users want to ensure maximum battery life. The iPhone would then make an extra effort to remain connected to that specific Wi-Fi network. Integration with Low Power Mode: For seamless optimization, this feature could automatically be enabled or its behavior enhanced when Low Power Mode is active, aligning perfectly with the goal of battery conservation. Key Benefits Extended Battery Life: By consistently favoring the more energy-efficient Wi-Fi radio, we minimize cellular power draw. Reduced Cellular Data Use: Helps prevent accidental or unnecessary shifts to cellular data, saving precious megabytes. Greater User Control: Gives users who prioritize battery longevity and data limits a direct tool to fine-tune their device's network behavior. This feature would be a valuable enhancement to iOS, offering users more control and a genuinely optimized experience.

IOS 26 Beta 1 Bugs Report
Hi Guys! I’ve been encountering some issues while testing the latest iOS beta. Is anyone else experiencing similar bugs? Test environment: Device enrolled in iOS 26 Beta since June 9th, 5:00 PM (BRT) Hardware-related issues: • The device is overheating during routine tasks, especially when screen brightness is set to maximum. • Battery life has dropped significantly — approximately 20% to 30% shorter compared to iOS 18.5 UX/UI issues: • Scrollbars occasionally behave erratically in some apps — scrolling leads to empty areas or becomes unresponsive. • When opening a new tab in Safari, the app sometimes freezes and requires a force restart. • The Control Center is difficult to interact with due to excessive transparency, which gives the impression that the icons are scattered without visual hierarchy.

RCS Messaging in BETA
Hi, Looking for guidance. Since RCS messaging became available via Apple I’ve used Messsages as my default application irrespective of whether sending messages to an iPhone or an Android handset. I’ve updated to the iOS 26 developer beta and RCS messaging is not available. When I check on messages under settings it constantly states ‘waiting for activation’ Is RCS not usable until the full version of iOS 26 is released in September? My network is EE in the United Kingdom

Carplay grid in list
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 !
