So, I'm new to Swift, but I'm trying to get my app idea off the ground and am trying to find a way to create the main module of the app -
two users see in real time, where the other one touches their screen.
So, each of them see a red dot light up on their screen wherever the other one touched it. Ideally dot should change in diameter based on the pressure of the touch.

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 Apple Developer Community,
I'd like to propose a system-wide enhancement for future versions of iOS: the integration of native utility apps — Calculator, Compass, Voice Memos, Magnifier, Measure, Weather, and Translate — into a single unified app, tentatively called Apple Assist.
The vision is to provide:
A modular interface where users can enable/disable tools as needed.
Smarter workflows with proactive suggestions based on context (time, location, task).
AI-powered interaction through voice and Apple Intelligence (Advanced Siri).
Benefits:
Reduces icon clutter on the Home Screen.
Simplifies the user experience with a single access point.
Creates opportunities for automation and accessibility.
Imagine saying:
“Hey Siri, record a quick note and measure the table” — and the app smartly loads those modules on demand.
Would love to hear feedback from the community — and whether Apple might consider something in this direction for iOS 19 or beyond.
Best regards,
Jose Luiz Horta Barbosa Maurity Cruz

I paid for my developer account on the 13th of June 2024 (1 week ago). My ID was approved.
However, I still don't have access to the account.
When I go to check the status of it, it is asking me to pay again.
I then tried to email the team, however only received useless, timewasting responses, such as "Please go to developer.apple.com/enroll to enroll for an apple dev account", which I already told them prompts me to pay again and verify my ID again.
I then tried to call them, and they said they had to re-verify my ID and would call me back in 10 mins, but I never received a call back.
I also couldn't call them again because it wouldn't let me request another call from them. I then emailed them, but still haven't received a response.
The next day I tried to request another call from them, during their opening hours at Thursday 4pm AEST, (they are open Mon-Fri 9am-5pm AEST see https://developer.apple.com/support/worldwide-telephone-hours/) however it still says that "Phone support is currently unavailable".
I tried to email them but now I am getting no responses at all.
I tried to contact the apple support through the iMessage chat, however I was only put on call with a lady who was helpful, but couldn't even do anything as she was only generic support. She couldn't even schedule me a call or transfer me to the developer team, even though it was within their working and calling/support hours.
I have tried to refund my developer account, but apparently that purchase is "illegible for a refund".
This is the treatment I get from apple for paying $100 USD.
An entire week of being left on blank.
I don't know what to do. I paid 100 bucks for an account which I can't even use, and the support hasn't helped me for an entire week. My emails being left on blank, and I can't even call them.
If anyone from apple or anyone that could help me sees this, please contact me ASAP at makrypodisc@ hotmail.com or reply to this thread.
Thank you.

Problem description:
Connected to a Sharp 8TC60DWTX (8K) display, but unable to select 4K resolution
Setup Condition
Apple MacBook Pro 16-inch M4 Max
Sharp 8TC60DWTX (8K)
3.Duplicate Procedure
After connecting to 8K MNT and select 4K solution, it still display as 8K.
Vendor analysis:
8K60 shows no image; switching to 30 Hz works normally
→ After analysis, we found that the 8K60 timing output from the MacBook is incorrect.
The horizontal blanking (H-CBlanking) is too small to accommodate the audio data, so the RTD2191E does not output video to the monitor.
→ This issue does not occur on Windows platforms, confirming that this is a host-side issue.

I'm preparing my submission for the Swift Student Challenge, and I have a couple of questions regarding the development environment.
Is it allowed to use Xcode to program my scene, or do I have to use Swift Playgrounds?
Can I use iPadOS 18 for development? I noticed that Swift Playgrounds currently only supports up to iPadOS 17.5, but I would like to use RealityView, which is only available starting from iPadOS 18.
I appreciate any clarification on this. Thanks in advance!

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.

I'm concerned that the Apple Vision Pro is too costly for low-income developers to develop for. Any thoughts?
Too many irrelevant posts come up when I attempt to search for something. There should be an easy button or something to earmark posts as something irrelevant- something that shouldn't come up in a search. I'm looking for something in Xcode 15 and frequently the top posts in the search are 10 years old and don't have any relevance whatsoever to the solution to my problem.

Hi all, after installing ios 18.4 beta here in Europe (and also resetting and restoring my iphone given Apple Intelligence features were not working at all initially) my phone decided to reoptimise my whole photo library which took a while and I understand it was a battery consuming process. Nonetheless, this is all done, all Apple intelligence features supposedly work and my phone is still in ongoing device setup burning through the battery to the point I am sure this will make my battery health drop.
does anyone know what is going on (indexing?), how long it will take and why is it happening? Is it because of the 18.4 beta or because of having Apple Intelligence for the first time?
can someone please confirm that at the very least this will NOT have to take place again after moving to the official 18.4?
thanks

just updated macos to 15.5 beta 2, cannot login anymore!
i reach the login screen, i enter the correct password, the loading bar stops at around 10%, after about 1 minute the system restarts, it return to the login screens, and so on…
any suggestion about debugging this type of situation?
I am trying to create a new app using IOS-26.1, macOS Tahoe 26.1 and Xcode 26.1 with Swift6. Is this a bug that is going to be addressed. This is in the Debug Console...Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints.
Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want.
Try this:
(1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect;
(2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it.
(Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints)
(
"<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x10bb18870 h=--& v=--& _TtCC5UIKit19NavigationButtonBar15ItemWrapperView:0x115da48c0.width == 0 (active)>",
"<NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac2ee0 _TtCC5UIKit19NavigationButtonBar15ItemWrapperView:0x115da48c0.leading == _UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80.leading (active)>",
"<NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac30c0 H:[_UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80]-(0)-| (active, names: '|':_TtCC5UIKit19NavigationButtonBar15ItemWrapperView:0x115da48c0 )>",
"<NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac2df0 'TB_Leading_Leading' H:|-(12)-[_UIModernBarButton:0x115d20a80] (active, names: '|':_UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80 )>",
"<NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac2fd0 'TB_Trailing_Trailing' H:[_UIModernBarButton:0x115d20a80]-(12)-| (active, names: '|':_UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80 )>"
)
Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint
<NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac2fd0 'TB_Trailing_Trailing' H:[_UIModernBarButton:0x115d20a80]-(12)-| (active, names: '|':_UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80 )>
Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger.
The methods in the UIConstraintBasedLayoutDebugging category on UIView listed in <UIKitCore/UIView.h> may also be helpful.

Any idea what is happening?
Do I need to submit all of the crash report?
Thank you for your assistance.

Hello Apple Team,
I love the existing keyboard shortcuts such as Control + Function + Left/Right Arrow which allow moving windows to the left or right half of the screen. It significantly improves window management and productivity.
I would like to kindly request a similar feature to move windows across multiple monitors using a keyboard shortcut. This would be especially helpful for users with multi-monitor setups who want quick and seamless window transitions between displays without using the mouse.
This enhancement could align with Apple's commitment to intuitive and efficient user experience, helping users manage their workspace more effectively.
Thank you for considering this feature request!
After recently updating my MacBook Pro (14-inch, 2021, M1 Pro) to macOS Sequoia (15.6), my docking station sporadically disconnects and reconnects about once every 1-5 minutes. This causes my external screens to switch off for about a second, and my external drive to disconnect.
This has (obviously) completely broken my workflow, and I've had to resort to connecting two screens directly to the MacBook. I've had to completely disconnect the external drive for fear of corrupting due to the sudden disconnects.
I've seen other people report the same or similar issues here, and other places. I've tried all kinds of fixes suggested on various forums (reinstalled drivers, cleared preference files, etc.) without any luck.
To be frank, this is a completely unacceptable bug that needs to be fixed ASAP. I cannot accept that installing an os update completely breaks something as fundamental as connecting to external devices via a docker. Especially when this worked completely fine on macOS 13, and I was essentially forced to update because the (working) macOS 13 was no longer supported.
