I have a new M4 iPad Air and a brand new Apple Pencil Pro. It was working well until I installed iPadOS 26.0 (23A5297m) beta. Now, when using GoodNotes to write the Pencil functions for about 6-8 seconds and then disconnects for 2-3 seconds and then reconnects. You can imagine how disruptive this is. It does the same thing trying to highlight in the Kindle app, so I think it is an iOS issue.
As I write this, I am discovering that the Pencil is not wanting to stay connected at all despite showing up in the list of Bluetooth devices and connecting temporarily. I've tried forgetting and reconnecting the Pencil several times. It is charged to 100%, and I receive the alert that the iPad detects the Pencil.
Is anyone else having this issue? Do I need to assume this is being addressed?

Hello,
I'm trying to publish my app, but I'm constantly getting rejected by Apple. They're telling me I'm having issues with tracking user data.
This item has been rejected for the following reasons:
5.1.2 Legal: Privacy - Data Use and Sharing
I've indicated that I don't use this data for ads, that it's only used for personalization and to understand who saves items.
I added the NSUserTrackingUsageDescription property to the info.plist.
I run AppTrackingTransparency.requestTrackingAuthorization() when the user logs into the app, displaying a warning message.
I'd say I meet all the requirements they've set for me, but they still haven't approved my app. What do you recommend? How can I speak to a physical person who can help me?
Thank you very much and best regards.
As soon as I launch, Mail and Safari crash. I hope this is temporary. Tahoe 26.0 Beta
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)
}
Hey everyone. Ever since installed OS26 (and 26.1 now) - whenever I fast play any video on 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x on the AppleTV - the audio gets massively distorted on HomePods. Be it on YouTube, Difuse, or any supporting app. I even tried mirroring from iPhone
-same issue.
Anyone else experiencing the same? I noticed no posts about troubleshooting.

I installed the iOS 18.4 developer beta on my iPhone 12 last night, and it ended up sending my phone into a boot loop—at least that's what it looks like. Phone alternates between totally black screen and the Apple logo screen every 5 seconds or so. The phone isn't responding to force restart, isn't showing up in Finder to try to factory reset, etc. My guess is the update was corrupted in some way?
Did this happen to anyone else? Any ideas about what's going on?
One of my clients keeps having Zoom crash when teaching classes.
They do have 1 external monitor attached.
Using Macbook Pro 15-inch 2017.
Running Ventura 13.7.4.
Bug in client of libplatform: os_unfair_lock is corrupt, or owner thread exited without unlocking
Abort Cause 8192
Any idea what is happening?
Do I need to submit all of the crash report?
Thank you for your assistance.

I have been experiencing an issue with my MacBook Air 2024 model that is equipped with the latest M3 chip. After upgrading to the beta version of the operating system, I've noticed that when I close the lid to put the laptop to sleep, and then open it to wake it up, the system unexpectedly restarts instead of resuming from where it left off. This behavior is not only inconvenient but also raises concerns about potential data loss or corruption during the unexpected restarts. I understand that beta versions can have bugs, but I was hoping to receive some guidance on whether this is a known issue or if there are any steps I can take to troubleshoot and resolve this problem. Any assistance or insights into this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone,
I updated my iPhone 16 Pro to iOS 26 beta and my Apple Watch to watchOS 26 beta because I wanted to test out the new features. After a few days of testing, I found the iOS 26 beta too unstable and laggy for daily use, so I downgraded my iPhone back to iOS 18.5 stable.
Now my Apple Watch is still running watchOS 26 beta. I tried resetting it to factory settings, hoping that would help, but now I can’t pair it back to my iPhone because it requires iOS 26 again — which I don’t want to reinstall and don't want to use it till it's stable.
Is there any way to downgrade my Apple Watch back to a stable version or somehow pair it again with my iPhone running iOS 18.5?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi all,
I’m not a developer, but I’m hoping someone with iOS system or network experience can help me understand some very persistent and unusual behavior on my iPhone. I’ve gathered system logs and app-level diagnostics and would really appreciate insight from anyone familiar with daemons, VPN tunnels, or MDM behavior on Apple platforms.
Summary of Issues Over Time
March 2025: Most apps begin logging out automatically when closed
April 2025: Passwords across apps and browsers begin failing
May–June 2025: Gmail password reset emails stop arriving (even though other email works)
These symptoms suggest something affecting secure sessions, DNS routing, or background data handling. I began running diagnostics and found unexpected system and network behaviors:
Examples:
com.apple.mobile.lockdown.remote.trusted
file_relay.shim.remote
pcapd.shim.remote
webinspector.shim.remote
bluetooth.BTPacketLogger.shim.remote
On a normal, non-jailbroken device, I wouldn't expect so many .shim.remote or .diagnostic services to be active. Is this expected on iOS 18.5?
The binary /usr/sbin/scutil appears to be missing.
This breaks commands like:
scutil --dns
scutil --proxy
scutil --nc list
On a standard iOS device, is it even possible for scutil to be removed or disabled?
App Behavior and Config Locking (Cloudflare WARP Log)
From the logs of the Cloudflare WARP app (not enterprise-managed):
The app repeatedly forces VPN tunnels to reconnect or restart by injecting dummy URLs (force OS to restart the network extension process).
It tries to load policy configuration from MDM and Teams APIs (even though no MDM appears in Settings).
Many config items are marked as:
locked: true, visible: true
including:
DNS logs
Fallback DNS
Trusted WiFi settings
The account is labeled as:
WarpAccountRole.child
which may explain some restrictions — but I’ve never set this manually.
This seems more advanced than what the standard WARP app does. Could a provisioning profile or side-loaded config be applying these?
Key Questions for the Community
Are ~50 remote diagnostic services (.shim.remote) normal on iOS 18.5 stock devices?
Could a VPN app (e.g. WARP) or hidden config enforce flow-switching across interfaces like ipsec, awdl, and pdp_ip, even when not visibly active?
Can a provisioning profile or managed config enable services like file_relay, pcapd, or webinspector silently — without any visible MDM profile?
Has anyone seen scutil or other network tools missing on a stock iPhone? What could cause this?
Does WARP in MASQUE mode normally lock DNS settings and force tunnel restarts — or could this indicate tampering?
If anyone on iOS 18.5 / iPhone17,1 can share their remotectl_dumpstate output, I'd love to compare.
Happy to share sanitized logs or run more tests if helpful. Thank you for any insights — especially from those familiar with internal services, VPN frameworks, or supervised profiles.

Product & Version:
iOS 17.5.1 (21F90) – reproducible since iOS 13
Test devices: iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, iPad (10th gen)
Category:
UIKit → Text Input / Keyboard
Summary:
If the system “Save Password?” prompt (shown by iCloud Keychain after a successful login) is onscreen and the user sends the app to background (Home gesture / App Switcher), the prompt is automatically dismissed. When the app returns to foreground, the keyboard does not appear, and text input is impossible in the entire app until it is force-quit.
Steps to Reproduce:
Run any app from AppStore that shows "Save Password" alert.
Enter any credentials and tap Login, iOS shows the system “Save Password?” alert.
Without interacting with the alert, swipe up to the Home screen (or open the App Switcher).
Reactivate the app.
Tap the text field in the app.
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.

So, I was attempting to rename my Finder Tags. Unfortunately, I’m also trying Apple’s Intelligent Writing Tools to proofread it, but I’ve encountered a bug in it. Here’s an example:
For reference, my macOS version is macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 (24D81)—a stable version.
I hope that bug is fixed soon.
