I set iOS 26 to install overnight, put my iPhone 16 Pro on the MagSafe charger, watched it charge just fine, and went to sleep. When I woke up the iPhone showed the “plug into power” dead battery screen. I took it off MagSafe and put it back on. A half hour later the phone was warm but still wouldn’t power on, just showed the battery screen with a little red in it. I took it off MagSafe and plugged it into my iPad charging brick with USB cable to give it more power, still it did not turn on. I tried holding all the buttons to try to force a restart but didn’t work.
For anyone else encountering this, do this to enter DFU mode and restore it. I had to do it a few times before I got the timing right.
Plug into your Mac and open Finder (or apparently a PC with Apple Devices or iTunes)
Press and quickly release volume up
Press and quickly release volume down
Press and hold right side button
When the battery disappears and screen goes black, hold volume down and continue holding side button
After a couple seconds release the side button and continue holding volume down
A prompt to allow connecting to the iPhone should appear after a couple seconds, click Allow, and it’ll say the iPhone entered DFU mode - proceed to restore the firmware

Type of Feedback: Application Bug
Description
Device: iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 26
Build environment: Xcode 16.4
Problem description:
When a text field has secureTextEntry = YES and Password Autofill / Passkeys is active, the autofill panel is not included in the rect reported from the keyboard notifications (UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey or others).
As a result, when calculating the offset to move the screen up and reveal the hidden input field, the field is not displayed correctly because the reported keyboard height is smaller than the actual visible height.
Observed behavior:
This only occurs on devices running iOS 26 built with Xcode 16.4.
On previous versions of iOS, with the same settings (secureTextEntry and Autofill active), the rect correctly includes the autofill panel height, and the UI works as expected.
I tested with both UIKeyboardDidShowNotification and UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification, and in both cases the behavior is the same: the height is incorrect (smaller than expected with the autofill panel).
What I expect / questions:
That UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey (or the related notification) correctly reports the total area covered by the keyboard, including any password autofill panel, when secureTextEntry is active.
That the new behavior in iOS 26 be documented if this omission is intentional, or otherwise considered a bug if it is not.
If there is any official workaround suggested by Apple for developers affected by this issue while a fix is provided.
Thank you for your support.
Hello everyone! I'm a newly graduated Computer Engineer living in Türkiye. I've been developing my skills in the iOS field for a while now. But sometimes I get lost and don't know what to do. I've just joined this community and have a request for you. I'd be very grateful if you could share your own advice, experiences you've had along the way, and how you successfully overcame them. I'm open to all kinds of positive or negative feedback. Self-improvement is paramount to me.

Both Apple and third-party apps in CarPlay are not displaying properly after updating to iOS 26 public beta two. I submitted feedback, wondering if anybody else had this problem and have solved it. The only apps that appear to be working normally are map apps like Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze. The others show only background, but if you tap on the touchscreen it will perform an action as if the tile/link is there, but invisible

Updated iPhone to 26 beta 2, everything is ok but battery, battery is changed, not original. My phone can't charge higher than 1% and turns off every 5 minutes, even connecting to wireless charger and cable at the same time don't work, restored iPhone thru iTunes.I hope I will be able to install new beta without any problems because loving the new design,hoping for the best. Thanks.
I am writing to report an issue encountered while testing the iOS 26 beta. It appears that adding VPN configurations is currently not possible in this version.
Specifically, attempts to add a new VPN configuration through the Settings app or via programmatic configuration profiles are unresponsive.
As VPN functionality is essential for a number of development and enterprise use cases, I would appreciate it if your team could confirm whether this is a known issue, or provide guidance on any changes to VPN configuration handling in iOS 26.
Please let me know if additional diagnostic information or logs would be helpful.
Thank you for your support and for providing access to the iOS 26 beta.
Best regards,
Majid

Dear Apple Developer Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I'm seeking guidance regarding an issue with my Apple Developer account and the future status of my app.
Issue Summary:
Account Status: My Apple Developer account has been locked (cannot be used) without any clear reason. Despite contacting both Apple Support and Apple Developer Support, I haven't received a workable solution to regain access.
App Status: Currently, my mobile app remains visible and downloadable on the Apple App Store.
Concerns:
Future of the App: I'm concerned about the future availability of my app. I've heard that apps associated with locked or inactive developer accounts might be archived or removed after a certain period. Is this accurate? If so, what is the typical timeframe for such actions?
Similar Experiences: Has anyone in the community encountered a similar situation with their developer account being locked and cannot be used? If so, were you able to resolve it, and how?
I appreciate any insights or advice from those who have faced similar challenges or have knowledge in this area. Your assistance would be invaluable in helping me navigate this situation.

.fullScreenCover(isPresented: $isShow) {
Button(action : {
isPresented.toggle()
}){
Text("Choose")
}
.familyActivityPicker(
isPresented: $isPresented,
selection: $selection)
.onChange(of: selection){ value in

}
In the official version of iOS 18, when I click the Done button of familyActivityPicker, the fullScreenCover pop-up box will disappear.
When attempting to use apple promotional offers for subscriptions I consistently receive the popup that says "Offer Not Available" for both production and sandbox. Without offer code purchase working fine. I have verified the App Store Connect setup and client side code and even created new offer codes also, but I have hit a dead end.
Error:- (Error Domain=SKErrorDomain Code=18 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x280dbb0f0 {Error Domain=ASDServerErrorDomain Code=3904 "Offer Not Available" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offer Not Available}}})
since updating from 18.3 to 18.4, both on cellular and WiFi Networks I can’t connect to the internet.
Since the phone wont connect to the internet I’m not able to turn off “find my iPhone“ to restore my iPhone to iOS 18.3
this way my iPhone is useless
any ideas / thoughts about this?
So I downloaded and installed iOS26 on my iPhone 15 Pro and after that it does not want to boot anymore. It shows a battery with one red line. Which is weird because before it restarted it had 80% of the battery and I had the power cable connected at all time. Now I can't boot it up anymore. Not even with the volume button up, down, power button trick. Please help!
I have developed three apps using the Screen Time API. The following are common problems I encountered in the three apps:
DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is automatically killed after running for a few days (frequently)
The same DeviceActivityEvent in DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is triggered twice during eventDidReachThreshold (especially obvious in iOS18.5)
Screen Time authorization is automatically canceled for no reason (occasionally)
I hope to get help
Hello Apple Developer Community,
I'm hoping someone can advise me on a serious issue. Our organization's Apple Developer Program account has been effectively locked because our Account Holder's Apple ID is inaccessible. I need to unlock that Apple ID so we can manage our apps.
I've already reached out to Apple Developer Support, but so far, I haven't received a response. This situation is critical because our clients rely on us to maintain and update our apps.
Key details (some info is masked for privacy): • We're enrolled as an Organization/Company. • The current Account Holder's Apple ID is locked and cannot perform any actions. • No other accounts have admin access.
If anyone has encountered a similar issue or knows a more efficient route to escalate, I'd be extremely grateful for your insights.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can share. This is critical to our organization, and we'd appreciate any pointers on how to navigate or expedite the support process.

Hello everyone, on August 31st, all the apps in my personal developer account were suddenly expired and deleted, I have not received any response from Apple. My apps are in compliance with Apple's policies. I then uploaded a new version and sent it to the review team, but I received the following error "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later."
I have contacted Apple via Email and Phone but no one cares about my problem.
Has anyone had the same situation as me, I am really worried.
With ios 26 the chapter images are not updating anymore. At first I thought this is carlay related but it also occures when the phone is connected only through USB or bluetooth to play a podcast. I tried Apple podcasts and other apps like Pocketcast or audible. Same problem. The phone shows the correct chapter image while my car shows the inital image all the time. Even tried a different car :-)
I checked focus and settings but found nothing related.
With ios18 everything works fine.
Any ideas?
Since updating to iOS 18.4 the auto-lock on iPhone 16 Pro isn’t functioning. All settings remain unchanged from previous versions, however the display will not turn off.
Same iOS on my older iPhone 11 doesn’t have the issue and screen turns off as usual with the same system settings.
Have tried a force restart on the 16 Pro, nothing changed. Any ideas?

Hi there,
I am new to Xcode26 and dragged my AppIcon.icon (created with Icon Composer) into the project. Then build failed with "Could not locate icontool".
Could anyone point me to the cleanest way to solve this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
