A question from an ordinary user for developers:
The essence of the problem:
I installed the To Do List by MinimaList app on both my MacBook and iPhone. After installing it, I decided not to use it and deleted the application.
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/minimalist-to-do-list-widget/id993066159
However, it turned out that not everything was removed. Specifically:
• In the “Allow Others to Find Me” section on both my MacBook and iPhone, these apps still appear. No matter what I do—whether I delete or clear them—they continue to be displayed there.
• This app continues to appear in the section located at:
Settings → Apple ID → iCloud → Stored in iCloud → See All → Allow Finding Me – To Do List and one more item.
• It cannot be deleted.
• It won’t delete on my MacBook, and it won’t delete on my iPhone.
• It also appeared in iCloud itself under the Email Search section.
P.S.
The official Apple support (without violating any internal regulations) advised me to post on the forum to get in touch with Apple developers.
In hope, I am posting this question here.

I have been waiting for a week for subscription confirmation, the money was withdrawn from my card, invoice came, but for a week already the status is pending, and also on the site writes complete your purchase now. What to do?
It works if Bluetooth is on for a long time, is there any problem?
I'm developing an app using beacon and Bluetooth, and I have to operate the app in the background, and after spending the weekend, I have to detect the beacon and revive the app. I can see that there is an app in the background, but the app is not coming back to life.
How can I solve this problem?
Or is the OS team working on something to block it?
The test model is Iphone16Plus.

a group of hackers have been illegally accessing my iPhone, all my accounts on my phone, my online university portal, all my stored passwords, and my iCloud. I have changes to my iPhone that I did not do. No one has had access to my iPhone other than myself. I have been dealing with these hackers for five+yrs. they have locked me out of my accounts for several years by changing all my login information. They have disabled my laptop and they have reset my previous phone remotely. I was sent a message from my provide t-mobile that they locked
my phone due to someone trying to remotely reset it. Now I am dealing with the same people again. My iphone heats up tremendously, my battery drains constantly, I cannot access my accounts because they are changing my passwords, and now they have disabled access to my sim.

I will give some suggestions and action buttons about dynamic islands on iPhonesAfter dragging and dropping an application or file on dynamic islands, when I switch to any application or site, I can switch to that file or application by holding down the Dynamic Island As for the action button, we can assign features to the action button. A feature like this can come to it. When we press it twice, it will open the camera, when we press it once, it will open the flash. If such a feature comes, it will be easier to use
The Bluetooth on my iPhone 14 hasn’t been working for a week now. Everything was fine until, at some point, it started endlessly turning on and off by itself. I’ve tried resetting the settings, doing a hard reset, updating to iOS 18.3—none of these helped. I even deleted all VPN profiles just in case (I saw this suggested on forums), but that didn’t work either. According to forums, this bug has existed since September and affects thousands of people. The constant cycling causes the Bluetooth settings to freeze. Please help! My watch, headphones, car—everything has turned into a pumpkin!
Hello, I have iOS 18.4 beta, where can I see the energy consumption, by Matter 1.3?, in Apple Home application?, I see it is in beta, thanks Michal.
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.
Hello! I am new here but could really use some support. For the last year or so I have been bugged by the feeling that my devices were not completely managed by myself. After this week I have seen my computer and devices do things on their own without me touching the keyboard. SO I am hoping someone here can help me get rid or at least get to the root of the problem as I do not know what else I can do! SO far I know they are accessing all my devices remotely but am unsure how they do it since someone times there is no wifi around, I'm thiniking bluetooth maybe or perhaps another form of devices talking and sharing info with each other. Any support helps!!!

my app was kicked off the App Store because it needed updating. i have now done that and it is ready for TestFlight. before I uploaded it, I had look around the App Store to see if there were any similar apps and I found one which just looks like it’s pinched the ideas about how it works-it’s uniqueness claiming to be the first of its kind and who it is aimed at Its not exactly the sameseems silly similar to mine as I was reading the text seemed similar to mine. it’s not exactly the same but the principle of it the idea of the way it works is definitely the same as mine. I couldn’t look at the code because it didn’t seem to be open source software databases. it is not free to download but I didn’t want to buy it. Is there a way of finding out more about its. Function and ti see / compare the code to see if there is infringement or a violation.

Hi! can someone please help me?
the chase app will not work nor can I access it in the browser. I have tried literally everything - restarting my phone, deleting the app and reinstalling, resetting network settings, resetting all settings, clearing caches on all browsers. Everything is up to date. apps and my OS. nothing.
I don’t want to wipe my phone by doing a factory reset. I called chase and they said it was a known issue and they’re working on a solution and that it would be resolved that day. this was 3 days ago. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?? What caused it and what is a solution?

I upgraded my macOS to 13.7.5 and since then I cannot open Adobe InDesing on my iMac.
I contacted Adobe Support to assist with the issue and they couldn't find any solution from their side. Probably the update is not compatible?
Is there a way I can solve this issue? Or remove the beta version from my system?

I have an old application. It worked at one time. Due to changes in the user environment, it is now possible to download applications from the AppStore. I built the app and sent it for review. And I received a report that my app crashed at startup. I tried to reproduce the fall for myself, but it didn't work out. In the crash log, I couldn't figure out what was wrong with the app. Please help me and tell me what I should look for in the log or in the application.
The crash location (which I found in the log):
_UIPathLazyImageAsset imageWithConfiguration
cl-1.crash
cl-1-n.crash

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 am a startup founder based in India. Recently the iOS developer we were working with left the company in some what acrimonious circumstances.
Post his departure from the company, he has made it clear that he will try to cause damage to our iOS app to the extent that it starts to crash.
Even though we have removed his access, as a non tech founder, I am not sure what ways he can edit or hamper our iOS app and what measures we can take to protect the same.
Please advise us with steps for us to secure our code and ensure no one can edit the same or hamper our iOS app on the app store.
Thank you
I’m developing an app that has a Fitbit login page embedded in a WKWebView. On the Fitbit login page, there is a Google login button.
When I try to log in to Fitbit via Google, some devices redirect back to the Fitbit login page even after entering the correct Google credentials. However, it works on the second attempt. I tested the same URL in the default browser, and it works fine when the page is loaded in the browser instead of inside the WebView.
I tried the following workarounds but was unable to fix the issue:
1. Enabled JavaScript in WebView.
2. Tried cookie synchronization between WKWebsiteDataStore and HTTPCookieStorage.
I updated my Macbook Pro this week, macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 and now the Password app isn't working. When I log into my regularly saved sites, and I click user name, the Password app login modal pops up, but when I click it, NOTHING happens. If I manually type in my user name (which was unnecessary prior to the recent update), then SOMETIMES I get the fingerprint, but most times I don't. I am using the Chrome browser. I have attached a screenshot of the typical issue I experience.

Can anyone tell me why "Classroom (System Settings)" is running on my Mac?
I found this post, but the author never fully explained what was going on: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/734270
Clicking on "inspect" tells me it was launched by launchd.
