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.

I'm concerned that the Apple Vision Pro is too costly for low-income developers to develop for. Any thoughts?

Is there a way to check whether third-party code can be inserted into parts of the ARM CPU architecture from outside? I have the paranoid impression that my MacBook Pro, M2 processor is being manipulated from outside. For example: Safari, when opened, displays pages scaled down without my conscious intervention, when clicked on the original size it scales back to normal for a short time and then implodes again; I use the navigation bar on the left excessively, it is my most important tool in Safari, today it was impossible to insert a link using drag & drop, the bar scrolls up or down very quickly; a behavior that I only know from Intel processors. For example, notes, I encrypted an important note, no problem even though photos and links are inserted, yesterday I could no longer open the note, neither on the MacBook Pro nor on the iPhone. When opening the notes app in the terminal on the MacBook Pro, an EXEC_CRASH report was generated. I have a terrible suspicion that the Apple branch in Munich is tampering with the devices and software of users in Germany. Sorry, I'm a big fan of Apple and its products, but this is very spooky. I just wanted to share my distrust with you!

Hi @DTS Engineer in tvOS 26.2 Beta is still this annoying Shadow Glitch… 😔 I have submitted an Bug-Report, but dont get an Answer… FB18719371 The Animation is not smooth and the Shadow is abruptly „jumping“… I don’t get any Response from the Apple Engineers. But this GUI Glitch makes the otherwise very high-quality tvOS GUI appear very unprofessional. Could you please help me? 🤔

Hello everyone, I'm a 2nd-year Computer Science student who's excited to dive into iOS development, and I'd really appreciate some guidance from the experienced developers in this community. MY CURRENT BACKGROUND I have a solid foundation in programming fundamentals through my university coursework (data structures, algorithms, OOP concepts), and I'm familiar with general software development principles. However, iOS development is entirely new territory for me, and I want to make sure I start on the right foot. WHAT I'M LOOKING TO UNDERSTAND Learning Path & Technologies Should I start with UIKit or SwiftUI? I've heard conflicting opinions about this How important is it to learn Objective-C in 2025, or should I focus solely on Swift? Are there any foundational Apple frameworks I should prioritize learning early on? Roadmap & Structured Learning Is there a recommended roadmap or learning sequence I should follow? What skills/topics should I master before moving to more advanced concepts? Should I learn iOS development in a linear fashion, or is it better to learn as I build projects? Are there any official Apple learning paths or certifications worth pursuing? Common Mistakes to Avoid What are the most common pitfalls beginners face when starting iOS development? Are there any bad habits or patterns I should consciously avoid from day one? What misconceptions did you have as a beginner that you wish someone had corrected earlier? Project-Based Learning What types of projects would you recommend for someone at my level? Should I build several small apps or focus on one comprehensive project? At what point should I start contributing to open-source iOS projects? Best Practices & Design Patterns Which iOS-specific design patterns (MVC, MVVM, etc.) should I learn first? How can I develop good habits around memory management and app architecture from the beginning? What resources do you recommend for learning iOS best practices, not just syntax? Apple Ecosystem & Tools Beyond Xcode, what tools should be in my toolkit? How important is it to learn about TestFlight, Instruments, and other Apple developer tools early on? Should I get comfortable with CocoaPods/SPM from the start, or wait until I'm more experienced? MY GOALS My goal is to build a solid foundation over the next 6-8 months, create a few portfolio-worthy apps and pursuing iOS development as a career path after graduation. SPECIFIC QUESTIONS How many hours per week would you recommend dedicating to learning iOS development while managing university coursework? What's the best way to stay updated with Apple's annual changes and new frameworks? When should I start thinking about publishing apps to the App Store? Are there any mentorship programs or communities specifically for beginner iOS developers you'd recommend? I know this is a lot of questions, but I genuinely want to learn the right way rather than picking up bad habits I'll have to unlearn later. Any advice, resources, or personal experiences you're willing to share would be incredibly valuable to me. Thank you in advance for taking the time to help a beginner. I'm committed to putting in the work and learning properly!

HiIm currently on iOS 11 Beta 2 (Build 15A5304i) With Update 1 Build 15A5304j just been released, will there be any difference since last weeks release?I can't update OTA to the new build released today.ThanksBarry

On wake from sleep the Mac Studio's Desktop picture is shown in actual resolution instead of stretched to fit screen. For example, a picture which is 2059 × 1371 is shown at that resolution on a 5K Retina screen and so only fills about 60% of the screen area. It starts with the picture positioned in the top left corner but sometimes moves down the screen. This behaviour does not change if the screen is scaled up or down – the picture size is also scaled. Notice that icons on the Desktop are displayed in the correct position. At the same time, the Dock is shown at the bottom of the picture instead of at the bottom of the screen. Usually, the Desktop redisplays correctly. But increasingly, the only solution is to log out and in again. This might be related to my other question on the Desktop picture Pref Pane. See attached example which is a full screen capture i.e. command-shift-3 (with my personal details obscured):

Hey team, I have an app in CarPlay where i was pushing the CPNowPlayingTemplate as follows: self.interfaceController.pushTemplate(CPNowPlayingTemplate.shared(), animated: true) This used to work perfectly, but suddenly I have started to get this error NSInvalidArgumentException: Unsupported object <CPNowPlayingTemplate: 0x119a0b5c0> <identifier: 6EE4E5A9-B1FB-4341-A485-78D7DDEBD8D0, userInfo: (null), tabTitle: (null), tabImage: (null), showsTabBadge: 0> passed to pushTemplate:animated:completion:. Allowed classes: {( CPActionSheetTemplate, CPAlertTemplate, CPVoiceControlTemplate, CPTabBarTemplate, CPListTemplate, CPInformationTemplate, CPContactTemplate, CPMapTemplate, CPGridTemplate, CPSearchTemplate )} How is this possible? Even on Apple docs, it says to pushTemplate Refer https://developer.apple.com/download/files/CarPlay-Developer-Guide.pdf https://developer.apple.com/documentation/carplay/cpnowplayingtemplate/

The first Beta install stopped recognizing a Yamaha USB audio interface. The next two installs brought the recognition back. The last Beta install doesn't recognize the interface completely. The midi implementation works but the audio implementation isn't recognized in Audio/Midi setup. This might be something to look at in the next Beta release or something audio interface venders should look at in their next driver release.

Hello, i am currently running iOS 18.4 Public Beta (22E5232a) on an iPhone 16 Pro and i have problems with getting emails in the native mail app. i cannot receive any email from some of my email addresses. there is an “account error“ message that says: “Cannot get mail, The connection to the server failed.” When i enter my password again in settings it works for 1-2 days then stop working. On my iPhone X running iOS 16.7.10 it works perfectly. Only bugs on my iPhone 16 Pro.

Beta Update Feedback: iOS 18.3 The iOS 18.3 beta update has been a deeply frustrating experience due to numerous critical issues that severely impact the device's functionality. Below is a detailed report of the problems encountered: All major social applications, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Photos, consistently crash. When launching these apps, the screen often turns dark before reverting to the home screen. This issue persists across other third-party and native apps, making the device unusable for basic tasks. The system frequently hangs, failing to process basic operations effectively. Restarting the device is often the only temporary solution; however, even after multiple restarts, the issues remain unresolved. Significant charging drops are observed, and the device intermittently fails to recognize the charger. Charging efficiency has drastically decreased, creating inconvenience for daily usage. The Photos app is riddled with bugs, making it nearly impossible to use. Basic functions such as viewing, editing, or sharing photos do not work properly. Every aspect of the update feels unstable, with issues cropping up in every corner of the system. The phone’s functionality has deteriorated, so it no longer performs as expected. Device Affected: iPhone 13 Impact Level: Severe This update has caused immense frustration and has made the iPhone 13 difficult.

We plan to use signals emitted from iBeacon to perform region detection in an app currently under development. We would like to know if region detection (didEnterRegion) can be performed when the app is in certain states. Region detection must be performed reliably. Is it possible to perform region detection in all of the following situations? • When the app is in the foreground • When the app is in the background • When the app is force-closed • When the smartphone is in sleep mode • When the smartphone is restarted Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Backup and restore Personal IOS data to a Supervised device? We currently have around 200+ iPhone users that are using their devices as personal devices. We are planning on moving them to Intune using Automated Device Enrollment (Supervised). Is it any way possible to backup their devices, do a factory reset, enroll them in Intune, then restore the old data? Is it possible to do backup and restore in this situation? Is there an alternative way to restore the data back to a supervised device?

Content written a day earlier and saved, is today only showing partially. It seems the software did not save the content completely.

I attempted to reset the Watch SE, which is currently running 10.6.1 and enrolled in Beta updates. My iPhone is updated to 18.2, but the Watch app isn't showing any available updates.

After updating to the newest beta on my iPhone 16 I'm stuck on this screen after accepting the terms: No Internet Connection Setup and activation of Apple Intelligence is unavailable when your device is offline. Connect to the internet and try again. I tried several different networks and 5G but no luck..

I'm currently developing a SwiftUI application that utilizes SwiftData for data management. I am facing a challenge when trying to filter a query. Specifically, I want to filter a list of Item objects to match a Product instance that is passed to my View. error : Instance member 'product' cannot be used on type 'MainItemListEncap'; did you mean to use a value of this type instead The view // // 311.1.1.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Trying to build a calendar/planner app for public school teachers. Classes are held on multiple dates so there is a need for swiftdata to save multiple dates. There are lots of tutorials demonstrating a multidatepicker but none of the tutorials or videos save the dates, via swiftdata. My goal is to save multiple dates. Step 1 is to initialize mockdata; this is done a class called ToDo. var dates:Set = [] Step 2 is the view containing a multidatepicker and other essential code Step 3 is to save multiple dates using swiftdata. Lots of tutorials, code snippets and help using a single date. But after almost 2 weeks of researching youtube tutorials, and google searches, I have not found an answer on how to save multiple dates via swiftdata. Also, I don't know how how to initialize the array of for the mockdata. Here are some code snippets used but the initialization of the array of DateComponenets doesnt work. And saving multiple dates doesn't work either @MainActor @Model class ToDo { var dates:Set<DateComponents> = [] init(dates: Set<DateComponents> = []) { self.dates = dates } } //view struct DetailView: View { @State var dates: Set<DateComponents> = [] @Environment(\.modelContext) var modelContext @State var toDo: ToDo @State private var dates: Set<DateComponents> = [] MultiDatePicker("Dates", selection: $dates) .frame(height: 100) .onAppear() { dates = toDo.dates } Button("Save") { //move data from local variables to ToDo object toDo.dates = dates //save data modelContext.insert(toDo) } } } #Preview { DetailView(toDo: ToDo()) .modelContainer(for: ToDo.self, inMemory: true) }

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
