iOS 26 - S/MIME Encryption / Certificates
Hi everyone. Since the update to iOS 26, we are no longer able to tap the person's name and view the certificate of a signed email and choose to install the certificate or remove it. This has always worked just fine but seems to be broken on iOS 26 and I have verified that it does not work on iOS 26.1 beta as well. The part that is strange is it does work just fine on an iPad running iPad OS 26. This makes it impossible to send encrypted emails to someone via the mail app on an iPhone. I have found a temporary workaround which is to install Outlook for iOS and install the certificates through that app which then allows me to send encrypted emails via Outlook. This appears to be a bug just with the iPhone as I have also seen a few other people online talking about the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Incorrect keyboard frame on iOS 26 when using Secure Text with Autofill
Area: Software Update Type of Feedback: Application Bug Description Device: iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 26 Build environment: Xcode 16.4 Problem description: When a text field has secureTextEntry = YES and Password Autofill / Passkeys is active, the autofill panel is not included in the rect reported from the keyboard notifications (UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey or others). As a result, when calculating the offset to move the screen up and reveal the hidden input field, the field is not displayed correctly because the reported keyboard height is smaller than the actual visible height. Observed behavior: This only occurs on devices running iOS 26 built with Xcode 16.4. On previous versions of iOS, with the same settings (secureTextEntry and Autofill active), the rect correctly includes the autofill panel height, and the UI works as expected. I tested with both UIKeyboardDidShowNotification and UIKeyboardWillChangeFrameNotification, and in both cases the behavior is the same: the height is incorrect (smaller than expected with the autofill panel). What I expect / questions: That UIKeyboardFrameEndUserInfoKey (or the related notification) correctly reports the total area covered by the keyboard, including any password autofill panel, when secureTextEntry is active. That the new behavior in iOS 26 be documented if this omission is intentional, or otherwise considered a bug if it is not. If there is any official workaround suggested by Apple for developers affected by this issue while a fix is provided. Thank you for your support.

Swift Student Challenge - Can I Use Third-Party or Apple Provided Code?
I'm working on my submission for the Swift Student Challenge and I have some questions regarding the use of existing code. Can I use code provided by Apple in their official resources? For example, Apple recently shared a video on custom shaders (https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2024/10151), and I’d like to implement a ripple effect using a Metal shader similar to the one demonstrated. Would this be allowed? Am I allowed to use solutions found on developer forums like Stack Overflow, as long as I properly document and reference them in my code? Or does all the code need to be fully original? I’d appreciate any clarification on these points. Thanks in advance!

Urgent: Locked Account Holder – Need Help
Hello Apple Developer Community, I need some assistance with my account. I created a new developer account for a new project I am working on, and paid the apple developer fee. Everything was working fine for a few weeks, I was able to get my app on TestFlight and invite testers to it, as well as push updates and get feedback. The testers were family/business partners. As of a few days ago, I was locked out of my account. I first tried resetting my password, and was then met with an email claiming my account was locked with no additional information. I am trying to understand how I can either unlock my account, or transfer my existing app to a new account, so that I do not have to bother my users with downloading a new app. Additionally, I would like some help in understanding how I can safeguard myself from this issue in the future, especially given this would not be fun if my app were published. Could anyone please assist me, provide me with any advice, or point me to a place where I could get support? I spent 25 minutes on the phone with apple support, and was treated excellently as I've come to expect of Apple, but unfortunately was not given any help as the support did not have additional information. I'm hoping I'm asking in the right place, and can get some help! Thanks in advance, Fritz

rebot when i close the lid@mac air 2024#M2 chipset#Version 15.2 Beta (24C5073e)
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.

Recently used emoticons
Why can’t Apple just release a version that put the most frequent used emoticons in the most left side of the emoticons keyboard??? Each person always uses the same 20 or 30 emoticons. How this could be reported to developers? Thx

App stops responding to touch; works normally otherwise
Some users of my app complain that it stops responding to touch after a while. The screen is still updating, and the app seems to be working normally otherwise. It just doesn't respond to any touches anymore. It is not a problem with the touchscreen itself, because the user is able to swipe up to get to the home screen, and then interact with other apps as normal. When re-opening my app, it is still unresponsive to touch. The only way to solve it, is to restart the app. Does anybody have a similar experience, and knows what could cause it? The app is based on UIKit, and still written in Objective-C, if it matters. The iOS version involved does not seem to matter, it happened with a couple of them.

Hi Ed Ford, thank you for your response. I tried to reply directly in the forum with the requested output, but I keep receiving an error message ("Your post couldn’t be saved. Please try again in a few minutes."). It seems I cannot currently post a follow-up reply. Just to notify you: I ran the command you suggested, but my shell reports zsh: command not found: devicectl. Thank you!

Installer hangs during installation of Epson iProjection app on macOS 26 (Tahoe)
Installer hangs during installation of Epson iProjection app on macOS 26 (Tahoe) When running the installer for Epson iProjection Ver.4.03 on macOS 26 (Tahoe) RC, the installation process hangs midway and becomes unresponsive. Run the installer for Epson iProjection Ver.4.03 from the following link: https://support.epson.net/setupnavi/?LG2=EN&OSC=WS&PINF=vpapp&MKN=EB-770Fi The installer hangs during the installation process and does not proceed. (Please refer to the attached screenshot for details.) The installation should complete successfully without hanging. <Version / Build> macOS 26 RC (25A353) The installation error log is as follows: RemotePlugin: Epson iProjection Ver.4.03 terminated with error: Error Domain=com.apple.ViewBridge Code=17 "(null)" UserInfo={com.apple.ViewBridge.error.hint=connection to view service became invalid -- benign unless unexpected, com.apple.ViewBridge.error.description=NSViewBridgeErrorDisconnection} Is this behavior expected due to changes introduced in macOS 26? Are there any recommended workarounds or mitigation steps?

IOS 26 Beta
so far the only issue I’m having since the update yesterday is my Bluetooth. Every time I try to use my Bluetooth headphones since the update, they either just stop working midway through playing a song or watching a video, etc., or they play a super high pitched noise that causes me to have to rip my headphones out of my ears.
