Spotlight services not fully stopping
I wish to have all spotlight services stopped on my MacBook, however with turning all options off in the settings and also the "Help Apple Improve Search" option, however the option turns back on whenever there is a restart on the laptop as well as background services running. How can I disable this permanently? I have tried to following as well: sudo mdutil -a -i off sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.metadata.mds.plist sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.metadata.mds.user.plist sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.spotlight.plist sudo launchctl disable system/com.apple.metadata.mds However with ps aux | grep -E "mds|Spotlight|corespotlightd" it still shows spotlight related services running: User1 73830 0.0 0.0 410741568 1680 s018 S+ 11:58am 0:00.00 grep -E mds|Spotlight|corespotlightd root 3170 0.0 0.0 410682288 4816 ??

S 20Jan25 14:00.32 /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Frameworks/Metadata.framework/Versions/A/Support/corespotlightd What else can I try in order to stop these and to stay shut off after turning my laptop on and off again?

Apple Developer Account Terminated (No Email Notice) - Seeking Advice on Investigation & Appeal Process
Hi everyone, Our Apple Developer account (ID/Email: [*****]) was suddenly disabled, showing "Terminated" status in the backend, but we received no violation notice via email. Current issues: Context: Last operation before termination: "App submission" No warning emails or policy violation details received (checked spam folder) Attempted Solutions: Submitted appeal via Developer Support Page, no response yet Reviewed all apps against 《App Store Review Guidelines》, no obvious violations found Questions: Are there alternative ways to contact Apple support directly? What are common causes for such terminations (e.g., payment issues, account association risks)? Should we create a new account, or is reinstatement possible? Note: Sensitive details redacted. Will provide more info if needed. Thanks for any advice!

"Create Your Apple Account" Not Working
I just got a new 2024 Macbook Pro today. I finished setting it up, and I'm trying to reinstall a few apps. It told me that since I haven't used my Apple ID yet, I need to complete my Apple account. I've entered all my address information, but every time I hit continue, the boxes turn red, telling me I need to enter my information as if I never entered it in the first place. How can I fix this? I need to set this computer up before classes tomorrow.

Enabling Just-In-Time compiler on "Emulators" on AppStore and/or enabling hypervisor to the iPad
Hello, why is apple won’t adding Just-In-Time compiler to ”Emulators” in the app store. And/or hypervisor for newer devices. i feel like UTM (which is a PC Emulator) or other Apps that emulate need JIT to work properly, and will consume significantly less battery to emulate/virtualize, And will have a noticeably better performance than just not enabling JIT, and by the way jit is already being used on iPadOS/iOS 18.3/18.3.1 and newer/older version of that so being enabled by the choice of the developer of the App is more convenient than doing it with tools. and by the why apple wont let emulators on iPads and newer iPhones do hypervisor, it’s better than JIT but requires a good cpu, like making it available to people with newer/powerful devices, hypervisor is better than JIT by a lot and removing it in iPadOS/iOS 18.4 was an unnecessary choice?, becuase it had a better potential in virtualization instead of emulating, and I feel like enabling it In M1-M2 iPads and A14-18pro and newer devices is just better from having it disabled, to unlock the fullest potential of the iPad it needs to have a app or something to do instead of just running high graphics games/or Apps.

DetectBarcodesRequest operates differently among machines
Hi Apple Developers! I’m using the DetectBarcodesRequest function to identify QR codes in some images and PDFs. However, I’m facing an issue where the function doesn’t detect the barcode on certain documents and machines, while it works on others using the same document. The only common factor I’ve noticed is that the machines that successfully identify the QR code of the “problematic” document are all heavy developer machines that have Xcode installed. Interestingly, this doesn’t seem to be related to processor type (Intel vs. Apple Silicon). Could you please provide some guidance or leads on how to resolve this issue?

Carplay - Low Fuel Suggestions
Dear Developers, I am wondering if there is a way to build on the current "Low Fuel" notification. Currently, if my low fuel light activates while Carplay is on, a low fuel notification is also sent to my phone. If the car can communicate this, can it also communicate mileage range? This way, if I'm in the middle of a route and the low fuel light engages, Carplay could suggest the nearest gas stations on the route within the remaining mileage range. Any information would be very helpful!

Change Dev Account "Enrolled As" Status
I'm a developer that has only produced for a single company. Though my developer account shows me as the account holder, my "Enrolled as" status is "Organization," and the "Entity" field shows the name of that company. I want to build an app for a separate company/organization, but unsure how to proceed. My App Store Connect account shows the original company name beneath my name as the only option in the account ID selector menu, so when I begin the New App process it automatically assumes I'm doing it for that company. Can I change my "Enrolled as" status to something independent of any organization, do I need to create a completely separate account to do this, or how should I proceed? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

iPad Pro M4. Panic. Freezing and Restarting Daily Without Heavy Usage
I purchased an iPad Pro M4 in early December, and since day one, I’ve been experiencing a recurring issue. Almost every day, at random times, the device freezes for 1–5 minutes and then restarts itself. The tablet is not under heavy load when this happens — I mainly use it for light tasks such as watching videos in a player or Safari browser, web surfing, and reading books. The issue has even occurred while the iPad was idle and locked; it froze, displayed the Apple logo, and rebooted. I brought the device back to the store where I purchased it, and they sent it for a diagnostic check. However, the experts concluded that the device is fully functional, and no defects were found. After one of these crashes, I noticed that my Apple Pencil started lagging (see video file IMG_5688.MOV). However, after another reboot, the issue with the Apple Pencil resolved itself. I’ve documented the issue with several video recordings showing the freezing and rebooting behavior, as well as error logs generated after such incidents. Device Details: Model: iPad Pro M4 Usage: Light tasks only (video streaming, web browsing, reading) Environment: No overheating, no resource-heavy applications running What could be causing this issue, and how can I resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! P.S. I’ve uploaded all the device logs and videos demonstrating the issue to Google Drive. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_R0i_iazADWo5EgStrPdgmf1XjgPP_RC?usp=sharing

Help accessing audio input from Mac
Hello there, I am a casual game modder for a game called Vintage Story and I had a question about accessing audio input from a Mac. Some other modders in my community developed a proximity chat system that allows players to hear one another via microphone while in physical proximity within the game. It apparently works very well on Windows but unfortunately they don’t seem to know how to get the mod to receive audio input from a Mac. I spoke with them and they are looking for some Mac devs who might be able to help them. Would anyone here be able to shed light on this or know any Mac devs who could?

Iphone mirroring not functioning properly
After I got my repaired phone back from the shop, I noticed that iphone mirroring is not functioning like normal. I tried every solutions from deleting the .plist files and reset my phone's connection, but now it seems like the problem comes from the mirroring app itself. After deleting the .plist file and resetting the MBP, the setup for the mirroring app won't let me continue, as clicking the "continue" button only flash the descriptions of the mirroring feature for a slight moment, then return to the same setup UI as before. Is there anyway to completely delete and reinstall this app so that it functions again?

Trouble Displaying Heart Rate Data Graph from Apple Watch in iOS App
Issue with Heart Rate Graph from Apple Watch in iOS App Hello Community! I hope everyone is doing well. I'm developing an iOS app that includes a feature to display a graph of the heart rate recorded during a route using the Apple Watch. Current Implementation I have successfully implemented data collection and transfer from the Apple Watch to the iPhone. The app's main UI correctly displays the user's real-time BPM. When the user stops the route, an analysis view is generated, showing speed and altitude (both work perfectly). Expected Behavior The user starts recording a route while monitoring heart rate. After tapping "Stop Route," an analysis view should display a heart rate graph along with speed and altitude data. Issue Encountered Despite multiple attempts, I have not been able to properly generate the heart rate graph. The only result I have achieved so far is a flat line with points representing the recorded BPM over time, instead of a proper graph. Request for Help If anyone has experience implementing a similar feature, I would appreciate any guidance on correcting my implementation. I can share: The file responsible for graph visualization. The file handling data processing after the user stops the route. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Summary I'm trying to display a heart rate graph from Apple Watch data in my iOS app. While data collection and transfer work fine, the graph only shows a flat line instead of a proper visualization. Speed and altitude graphs work correctly. If anyone has experience with this, I’d love some guidance!
