Overview

I want to know more about the latest technology from Apple and interesting hardware for me to know about.

It has been been days since WWDC without Siri at this point as it says it is still indexing. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am continually prompted to sign into an apple account that I haven't used for years and was as far as I remember deleted. When I run a sysdiag and trawl the logs and text files it looks like a calendar issue. 06/08/26 22:41:57.218995 pid=96 handle_set_value: accountsd attempting to set [com.apple.mobile.data_sync]:[Calendars] to [{ AccountNames = ( Live, Hotmail, "hotmail.co.uk", "unusedappleid @ live.co.uk" ); Sources = ( iCloud ); I've raised a bug report for it but wondered if anyone else had encountered the issue.

Hi, I have listed below the Feedbacks for Xcode 27, please have a look at it, considerable time was spent on filing these feedbacks, thanks! Environments All of them were tested on the environment: macOS 26.5.1 (25F80) Xcode 27.0 beta (27A5194q) Feedbacks FB23133706 (Git stage tab) FB23132869 (markdown - code block) FB23132403 (markdown - search) FB23078039 (stash - slow / unresponsive) FB23077930 (stash - allow multiselection) FB23055381 (Run destination - Clear recents) FB23041713 (SwiftUI preview - SwiftData) FB23033844 (Bundle ID) FB23033231 (Device Hub - sizes)

I have a NSViewRepresentable that wraps an NSTextField subclass which is displayed as larger than your typical text field. SwiftUI doesn't seem to allow me to set the size of the view when the underlying is an NSTextField. It forces it as a single line field. I've tried both setting the frame on creation as well as using SwiftUI .frame(width:height:) on the represented view. I always end up with a single line field. struct BigTextField: NSViewRepresentable { @Binding var text: String class Coordinator: NSObject, NSTextFieldDelegate { var parent: BigTextField init(_ parent: BigTextField) { self.parent = parent } func controlTextDidChange(_ obj: Notification) { if let textField = obj.object as? NSTextField { parent.text = textField.stringValue } } } func makeCoordinator() -> Coordinator { Coordinator(self) } func makeNSView(context: Context) -> NSTextField { //let frame = NSRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 350, height: 140) //let textField = NSTextField(frame: frame) let textField = NSTextField() textField.isEditable = true textField.isBordered = true textField.isBezeled = true textField.delegate = context.coordinator // Assign the coordinator return textField } func updateNSView(_ nsView: NSTextField, context: Context) { if nsView.stringValue != text { nsView.stringValue = text } } } I've also included the SwiftUI declaration which demonstrates the problem. struct ContentView: View { @State var text : String = "Test string" var body: some View { VStack { BigTextField(text: $text) .frame(width: 350, height: 140) } .padding() } } NSTextField can be any arbitrary frame size. I already do this from AppKit but am trying to adapt this custom field to work within SwiftUI. SwiftUI seems to override the sizing of this NSViewRepresentable that I give it. Am I missing something here? Is there some way to override SwiftUI's sizing behavior? Thank you.

Is there some bridge we could use to have Music Understanding use a song via MusicKit. it would be great to be able to link a music score to a song in MusicKit, then use the features in music understanding to link a live playback with the score.

Hello, Enrolling as an organization (Steelers Ventures LLC, Mississippi US LLC). Enrollment ID: 7HRY6V44XW. Case ID: 20000117111916. Timeline: May 22, 2026: received first "Request for Enrollment Documents" email. Submitted government photo ID, bank statement, Certificate of Formation, and IRS EIN letter the same day. May 29, 2026: received reminder, documents not received. June 5, 2026: received another reminder, documents not received, two weeks since first request. June 12, 2026: received another reminder with a 7-day deadline before the enrollment would be withdrawn. Resubmitted the same four documents next day via the upload link. Also received a separate email stating you cannot verify my identity and association with the enrolling entity, requesting government photo ID, employment verification, and one business document (I have Certificate of Formation for this). I've now submitted the same core documents twice (May 22 and June 13) and the system keeps saying they were not received. Separately, I'm the sole owner of the LLC, so I don't have an employer, business card, or HR contact to provide "employment verification." My plan is to submit my state business registration (showing my name as registered agent/manager) plus my IRS EIN letter naming me as responsible party, as the closest equivalent. Questions: Is the repeated "documents not received" notice a known issue, or could resubmitted documents not be linking to enrollment ID 7HRY6V44XW for some reason? For sole owners, has anyone successfully used a state business registry record plus IRS EIN letter as "employment verification," or is there a document Apple specifically prefers? Happy to provide any additional info. Thanks for any help.

Hello all, I have submitted a new app three times and received a 2.1b rejection reason. The subscriptions are attached to the app submission and I cannot figure this out for the life of me. Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Native WeatherKit fails for our app on both development and TestFlight distribution builds, with the WeatherKit service enabled. Team ID: YCF2TGZAX8 Bundle ID: org.walktalkmeditate.pilgrim Call: try await WeatherKit.WeatherService.shared.weather(for: location, including: .current) Error (immediate, every call): Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" What we've verified: WeatherKit enabled under BOTH the Capabilities tab AND the App Services tab for this App ID. com.apple.developer.weatherkit entitlement confirmed in the signed binary (codesign -d --entitlements). Fails identically on (a) Xcode-direct development builds and (b) TestFlight distribution builds. Physical device (iPhone SE 3rd gen) signed into iCloud / an Apple Account. Survives app delete + reinstall AND a device reboot, on both build types. GPS/CoreLocation works fine; only WeatherKit auth fails. Not a timeout or rate-limit. First appeared on Xcode 26 beta; never resolved on stable Xcode 26.3 (17C529), iOS 18.x. This matches the pattern in threads 786126, 810137, 811225, and 789900, where the WeatherKit auth backend hasn't registered/synced the bundle ID for JWT issuance even with App Services on, and Apple resolves it server-side. Could someone check the backend WeatherKit registration for org.walktalkmeditate.pilgrim? Happy to provide a sysdiagnose. Will also file a Feedback report and add the FB number here.

Hi everyone, I’m having an ongoing issue where my app submissions seem to sit in Waiting for Review for unusually long periods before Apple starts reviewing them. My current submission has been stuck in Waiting for Review since June 6 at 12:56 PM. This is not the first time this has happened. I’ve had previous submissions also take much longer than expected to even move into review. I understand review times can vary, but it seems like my app is repeatedly getting delayed at the Waiting for Review stage rather than actually being reviewed. I have not received a rejection, message, metadata issue, or request for more information. The submission just stays in the queue. Has anyone else experienced repeated delays like this? Is there anything in App Store Connect that can cause an app to keep getting stuck before review starts, such as subscription review, metadata, screenshots, compliance questions, app category, or account-level issues? Would the best next step be to contact Apple Developer Support, submit an App Review inquiry, or request an expedited review? Any advice would be appreciated.

Is there any UIRequiredDeviceCapabilities string that can be used to restrict an app to Apple TV 4K (2nd generation) or later hardware? I can’t find one. I’m working on a tvOS app that uses Continuity Camera. That feature only works on Apple TV 4K (2nd gen) and Apple TV 4K (3rd gen) hardware. There seems be no way to warn App Store customers that the app will not work on Apple TV 4K (1st gen). In the App Store or TestFlight, a user with a 1st gen device incorrectly sees a compatibility note that the app “Works on this Apple TV”. Setting a minimum OS version is not currently a helpful path for me — even tvOS 26.5 is compatible with 1st generation hardware. I can’t think of a good way to prevent users with an incompatible Apple TV 4K from installing an app that won’t work on their 1st generation devices. Any ideas? Am I missing something?

I started the enrollment process for the Apple Developer Program. The enrollment flow no longer shows the initial form and always redirects me to the Individual/Organization selection screen. After selecting either option, I consistently receive the error “We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred.” This issue has persisted for more than 72 hours. Could you please help me

I have submitted an app for review and have been rejected for a 2.1b reference Issue. Any guidance how to resolve k have included the subscriptions and they are in a ready for review state.

My app is being wound down and I'd like to provide a way for people who have purchased the lifetime subscription to get a pro-rated refund. But it seems like older IAPs don't show up on https://reportaproblem.apple.com/ and the in-app refund sheet throws an error when trying to process these refunds ("Your request could not be submitted"). In the in-app refund sheet: Am I doing sth wrong or is this expected behavior? Is there any way I can get a refund for these people? What's the specific cutoff for refunds?

We are seeing a reproducible scenario on iOS 26 where incoming VoIP push notifications are never delivered when the device has been idle and screen-locked for 30+ minutes. The same failure was observed simultaneously on WhatsApp, and Microsoft Teams and our app as well, on the same device during one incident, confirming this is a platform-level issue and not specific to our implementation. We have captured full system logs across three separate incidents. Below are the exact log sequences. Incident — All VoIP apps fail simultaneously (Our app, WhatsApp, Teams) Device: iPhone 17 Pro · iOS: 18.x · Network: 5G NSA (kNRNSA) The device had been idle with the screen locked for approximately 31 minutes.

The VoIP push entitlement exists for exactly this background delivery scenario. Is pushDisallowed being applied to apps with VoIP push entitlements when InternetSharingActive == 1 intentional? Should VoIP entitlements exempt an app from the Internet Sharing Policy gate in dasd? Is there a documented way to know when apsd has fully completed APNs reconnection (i.e. channel-flow viable) so a server can time push retries more accurately within a call validity window? What is the recommended apns-expiration value for VoIP pushes to survive brief APNs reconnection windows without exceeding a 60-second call validity period? Full log stream captures available for all incidents.

Hey, so I’m in Germany and the new siri sign-up is not showing up for me on visionOS can someone tell me how to fix this?

Hi guys, I’m looking for some advice regarding App Review. I submitted my first app and it was rejected. I fixed the issues and submitted a new build. That review went through in a normal amount of time, but the app was rejected again for some additional issues. I fixed everything that was mentioned and submitted another build. The problem is that this one has now been sitting in “Waiting for Review” for 9 days, which feels a lot longer than the previous reviews. Has anyone else experienced this? Should I just keep waiting, or is there something I should do at this point? I thought about requesting an expedited review, but from what I understand Apple only grants those for things like critical bug fixes, time-sensitive launches, or urgent business needs, so I don’t think my case qualifies. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello everyone, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program some time ago and the membership fee was successfully debited from my account. However, my membership status is still showing as Pending and I have not received any activation email or confirmation. I have sent approximately 10 messages to Apple Developer Support but have not received any reply so far. This situation is becoming quite urgent because I need to publish applications on the App Store as soon as possible. Has anyone else experienced similar long delays with no communication from support? Any advice or information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Best regards,

Does Apple WatchOS 27 support my iOS 27 app being notified when the user wakes up?
