mac mini m4 The camera is not working
I bought a Mac mini M4 and when I used it to sign up for a developer account, I was always encountered, it needed me to take a photo, but I didn't have a camera, so I used the iriun software to connect my phone to take a photo, it works fine in FaceTime, but when I take a photo in the Apple Developer app, the round photo frame is shown black. How can I make the camera work and if I buy a third-party camera?

iCloud/Apple Account Deleted but still not allowed to use the address with another account.
I am trying to add a custom domain to my iCloud+ Mail however when I try to add its main user/email address I get an error saying that the email is already in use with another apple account. After this I checked the duplicate account and since I had forgotten the password I reset it and logged in. Then I followed the instructs on https://support.apple.com/en-in/102283 to permanently delete my account. This request was initiated on 8 Feb 2025 but I received the final email that all my data had successfully been deleted from Apple's servers on 25 Feb 2025. Despite Apple's confirmation that my account had been deleted successfully, I am still unable to use that email address to create an iCloud+ Mail account, even after waiting a whole month! This is very frustrating. I contacted Apple support via chat and phone and after more than 30 mins of back and forth they instructed me to contact Developer Support which I did two days ago (case ID is 102546369564) still no response. I hope posting here will be more fruitful. Thanks in advance. Dear Dan Newby, Your Apple Account dan@ ----- .world has been deleted. This information has been permanently erased from our systems or has been modified so it no longer identifies you. As a reminder, you made this request on February 8, 2025 at 7:09:59 PM GMT+5. If you still have the 12-digit access code we provided as part of your request, you can now discard it since the account no longer exists. We’re glad that we’ve been able to help and hope to see you again in the future. Apple Support

diskutil "eraseDisk" on disk0 using terminal
Hi Apple Team & Everyone, Can someone guide me why sending 'diskutil eraseDisk APFS "WIPED" GPT /dev/disk0' command via terminal to remove/wipe the main physical drive (disk0) is failed? I tried booting into recovery mode, but it still didn’t work. The command returned the following error: Started erase on disk0 Unmounting disk The volume on disk0 couldn't be unmounted because it is in use by process 0 (kernel). Error: -69877: Couldn't open device I understand that we can use Disk Utility (GUI) to unmount and erase the drive. Is it possible to perform this operation via Terminal to erase disk0? I would appreciate any guidance on this. Regards, Winson

Please support device mirroring with cable and without iCloud login
Hi all, if anyone from apple Dev team is seeing this, please do consider supporting device mirroring without the need to login to icloud and with cable connection in addition to wi-fi. I am working in a corporate setting which does not allow us to login to icloud, thus I am unable to use device mirroring when my work really needs is, I am stuck with Quick time preview. I am quite sure, that this does not only apply to me.

MAC OS Sequoia 15.2 and Thunderbolt incompatibilities
15.2 has a major problem with Thunderbolt devices. Dozens of reports on the discussion forum after people upgraded from prior versions. In my case 15.1 was working flawlessly. After upgrading to 15.2 the MAC PRO (2019) won't even boot with multiple Thunderbolt devices attached. If as suggested I disconnect all those devices the MAC boots but I no longer have my Thunderbolt drives available. Someone from Apple really needs to start listening to this. We have posted feedback after feedback and I keep getting told no one else has this problem. Well 4 pages of people on the discussion forum would disagree with that.

FocusState Issue with TextFields in ScrollView on iPad (iOS 18.0)
When using a VStack containing two TextFields inside a ScrollView on an iPad running iOS 18.0, the FocusState of the topmost TextField does not trigger, while the second TextField's FocusState works correctly. Adding an invisible TextField on top resolves the issue, but it appears to be a bug specifically in iOS 18.0 on iPads. This issue does not occur on iOS versions below or above 18.0 (including iOS 18.1). Code that is not working struct ContentView: View { @State var text: String = "" @FocusState private var focusState: Bool var body: some View { ScrollView(.vertical, content: { VStack(spacing: 0) { TextField(text: $text) { Text("Hello, World!") } .border(focusState ? Color.red : Color.gray) .focused($focusState) .onChange(of: focusState) { oldValue, newValue in print(newValue) } .onChange(of: text) { oldValue, newValue in focusState = true } } }) .padding() } } Code that is working struct ContentView: View { @State var text: String = "" @FocusState private var focusState: Bool var body: some View { ScrollView(.vertical, content: { VStack(spacing: 0) { // Invisible Text Field TextField("", text: .constant("")) .frame(height: 0) TextField(text: $text) { Text("Hello, World!") } .border(focusState ? Color.red : Color.gray) .focused($focusState) .onChange(of: focusState) { oldValue, newValue in print(newValue) } .onChange(of: text) { oldValue, newValue in focusState = true } } }) .padding() } }

The fall of the app on the imageWithConfiguration
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

Guidance on Integrating Meta Ads with Google AdMob Bidding Mediation and Testing Issues
Hello, I am currently working on integrating Meta Audience Network (Meta) with Google AdMob using bidding mediation for an iOS app. The goal is to show ads through meta , with AdMob acting as the mediation layer. I have successfully set up both the Meta SDK and Google AdMob SDK, as well as the GoogleMobileAdsMediationFacebook adapter. My AdMob and Meta accounts are both linked for mediation, and I have configured the correct placement IDs for Meta within AdMob. Currently i am creating a demo project with demo accounts i haven't added app live link as my app isn't on AppStore and haven't added any payment method. However, I am encountering a couple of issues and need some guidance: 1. Test Ads Work, but Real Ad Unit Fails: • When using test AdMob ad unit IDs, everything works fine, and ads are shown as expected. • But when I use my original AdMob ad unit ID, I get the error: “Publisher data not found.” • Does this mean my app is not fully set up or is there something else I might be missing in my configuration? • Is it necessary to go live on the App Store to get ads from the real ad unit, even for testing purposes? 2. Meta Ads via Bidding Mediation: • I have integrated Meta through AdMob’s bidding mediation system. But i am showing ads using GADBannerView is it right way to show meta ads that are mediated with google admob. If i have to show ads with FBAdView from where to get withBidPayload value for this function adView.loadAd(withBidPayload: "what_here") 3. Payment Method Requirements: • My app is still in the demo/testing phase and is not live on the App Store. I have not added any payment methods in either AdMob or Meta. • Is it necessary to add a payment method for testing purposes, or is this only required when I start monetizing and going live? I would appreciate any advice or pointers to ensure the setup is correct and to understand why the original ad unit ID isn’t working during testing. Thank you for your time and assistance!

Error when copying Home Directory
I am trying to move my home directory to a secondary drive, but I am running into to two issues. When I try to do it via Finder I get the error - The operation can’t be completed because “<my account name>” needs to be downloaded. And when I try to do it via the terminal in recovery mode (after mounting the Data directory), It seems to copy a set of directories within ~/Library/Daemon Containers/. These appear to be snapshots of some sort, which when cp runs, end up taking up the entire drive of the target drive, which is 4 times larger than my base volume. Two questions: Why I am getting the message via finder (and how do I get around it? What is the correct process for moving the home directory to a second drive? Thanks!

App development agency bankruptcy, what about our apps?
First, I apologize if I post to the wrong forum, but this is kinda new to me. Backstory: I recently joined a company as CTO and the first topic on my agenda is the mobile presence. The android app was built in-house, but the iOS app was outsourced to an app/web development agency. The problem: the aforementioned agency ceased operations in mid-2024 without notifying us. They cancelled their dev program enrollment and our apps are no longer available on the App Store. And the agency reps are not responding to emails and phone calls. My question: is there a way to get access to our application? We plan in-house redesign and refactoring in 2025, but we want access to the bundle ID, the app groups, the iCloud container, etc. We can present legal documents, company website and branding, everything to prove that app is technically ours. Thanks in advance! Have a good and productive 2025!

Mac App Store Unable to Install or Purchase Any New Applications
Since macOS 15.4 Beta 2, my App Store has been unable to install or download any new applications; it can only download applications I have previously purchased. It appears as follows: when I click 'Get,' the system spins to load and then returns to the initial state. Upon checking system error reports, it seems there's an issue with AMSUIPaymentViewService_macOS [2113]. This problem persists despite changing credit cards or even removing all credit cards. macOS 15.4 Beta 3 has not fixed this error.
