“Popping Sound”

Our application is designated to be used in a quite noisy environment (childcare facility) so we have implemented really annoying custom sounds. Unfortunately the system audio session playing custom sounds is apparently limited to half of the device volume possibility, even though the user sets full volume in the settings. How to change this behaviour to get louder notification sounds? To be clear, I don't want to overcome user settings. If the user sets quieter volume or he sets the silent mode, the application should be silent too. I just need that 100% volume settings is actually 100% device volume. This is a really critical feature for us and for our customers. We have already tried to ask for the critical alerts and we have been rejected.

When I navigate to a player controller and switch to landscape mode, and then pop it and choose portrait mode, the tabBar encounters an issue

Your draft looks great! Here's a refined version with the iOS 17 comparison emphasized and slightly better flow: Hi Apple Engineers and fellow developers, I'm experiencing a critical regression with ShazamKit's background operation on iOS 18. ShazamKit's SHManagedSession stops identifying songs in the background after approximately 20 seconds on iOS 18, while the exact same code works perfectly on iOS 17. The behavior is consistent: the app works perfectly in the foreground, but when backgrounded or device is locked, it initially works for about 20 seconds then stops identifying new songs. The microphone indicator remains active suggesting audio access is maintained, but ShazamKit doesn't send identified songs in the background until you open the app again. Detection immediately resumes when bringing the app to foreground. My technical setup uses SHManagedSession for continuous matching with background modes properly configured in Info.plist including audio mode, and Background App Refresh e

Hello Apple Bluetooth team, We are developing a real-time call translation system that streams raw PCM audio over BLE between iPhone and custom earbuds. This works reliably on iPhone 14 / 15 / 16, but on iPhone 17 (Bluetooth 6, N1 chip) we see severe and repeatable BLE packet loss, affecting both microphone uplink and TTS downlink. Our audio stream 16 kHz, 16-bit mono PCM 20 ms frames (~640 bytes) continuous bidirectional BLE streaming What happens on iPhone 17 BLE packets are frequently dropped entire audio frames are missing results in ASR gaps and broken TTS playback occurs even with strong RSSI and no RF interference Same firmware, same BLE protocol, same MTU and connection interval work normally on older iPhones. Questions We would like to know: Did Bluetooth 6 / N1 change BLE throughput, buffering, or scheduling? Are there new limits on sustained notify / write-without-response traffic? Is BLE audio now arbitrated differently against Wi-Fi / A2DP on iPhone 17? Is BLE

Hi, I have an app built in Unity that I am trying to sign an notarize for distribution. I can successfully codesign the app and it runs properly. But after successfully notarizing the app, the app stops opening. My process is as follows: # codesign the app. omitting --deep --option runtime or both will result in notarization failing codesign --force --deep --verify --verbose --option runtime --sign Developer ID Application: ORG NAME (ZZZZZZZZZ) path/to/app.app # create notarization submission zip /usr/bin/ditto -c -k --keepParent path/to/app.app path/to/app.zip # submit for notarization xcrun notarytool submit --wait path/to/app.zip -v --apple-id apple@id.com --password aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa --team-id ZZZZZZZZZ Notarization seems to succeed. Running: spctl -a -vvv -t install path/to/app.app -returns: path/to/app.app: accepted source=Notarized Developer ID origin=Developer ID Application: JOHN DOE (ZZZZZZZZZ) The Problem: Before code signature, the app runs normally After code signature, the app runs normally Af

My MacBook speakers have started crackling on every sound since macOS 26 Beta 1, the problem is still the same on Beta 9. Happens especially when Simulator is opened.

I'm encountering a strange behavior with one of my home's on Home app while I'm off network. When I launch the app it indicates that the hub is not responding and all of my devices are unavailable. However, on the menu bar at the bottom if I switch to Automation and back to Home the pop-up goes away and my devices are accessible again (sometimes this take a few attempts). Siri is also able to consistently control my devices without an issue. The same behavior occurs with Home app on other devices (e.g. Mac) and with other members that have access to the household. 3rd party HomeKit app like Controller does not have an issue. This issue began with iOS 26 and I haven't had much luck resolving the issue. I already tried rebooting everything, including removing and re-adding an Apple TV (home hub). I have other homes shared with me in Home App with similar network/environment that are still working. The home I'm having issues has the most number of devices though (over 100+).
