iPadOS 17.7.7

Hello, I'm trying to work on an iPadOS and macOS app that will rely on the document-based system to create some kind of orientation task to follow. Let say task1.myfile will be a check point regulation from NYC to SF and task2.myfile will be a visit as many key location as you can in SF. The file represent the specific landmark location and rules of the game. And once open, I will be able to read KML/GPS file to evaluate their score based with the current task. But opened GPS files does not have to be stored in the task file itself, it stay alongside. I wanted to use that scenario to experiment with SwiftData (I'm a long time CoreData user, I even wrote my own WebDAV based persistent store back in the day), and so, mix both on file and in memory persistent store, with distribution based on object class. With CoreData it would have been possible, but I do not see how to achieve that with SwiftData and DocumentGroup integration. Any idea how to do that?

Please refer to Feedback report: FB19701007 The Personal Voice file created in English changes to either Spanish or Chinese and no longer works properly. This has been happening since Beta 1 of iOS/iPadOS 26. I have been unable to pinpoint what causes this to occur. Possibly downloading foreign voices to a device or using different voices via AVSpeechSynthesizer. I run an app in Xcode on my device that prints to the console info about the installed voices. Initially after creation here is the output: Voice Identifier: com.apple.speech.personalvoice.16173F8D-DFB0-4024-98CC-69D965FD96A4 Language: en-US Then I hear a Spanish accent and find this: Voice Identifier: com.apple.speech.personalvoice.16173F8D-DFB0-4024-98CC-69D965FD96A4 Language: es-MX Currently it isn't working and here is the output: Voice Identifier: com.apple.speech.personalvoice.16173F8D-DFB0-4024-98CC-69D965FD96A4 Language: zh-CN Note that the voice file on all three above is the same. No matter what the user does, the created voice fil

Hi! I am very new to the apple ecosystem. I saw a lot of comments online about how Stage Manager enabled iPads have access to extending the screen to an external display, and that was what hyped me about this beta. Unfortunately, while i do have Stage Manager now, the display is still unwilling to be extended. Is that a feature that’s planned to be included in the OS? Or am i just out of luck? The ipad is one of the most capable devices i have so i was kind of hoping it would get the feature. It has an A11 chip.

It appears from my testing that the following is true: If you close all windows of an app, the app terminates entirely. Minimizing the last window sends it into multitasking. This is different from previous behavior and might have implications on your app's logic. If you close the last window and quickly tap the app icon again, that same window will come back. Waiting a second before tapping the app icon will bring up the main window (likely because by that point the app was terminated and relaunched). Is this expected behavior? I did not see any announcement of this. I find this a bit counterintuitive and would presume that closing the last window would just send the app to multitasking, just like previously. Quitting the app should be reserved by swiping up on it in the multitasking UI or with a new context menu command.

When I go to update my iPad Pro 4th gen to iPadOS 26 beta3 and click the update now button, the screen to enter my passcode comes up but is blacken there is NO keypad. reboots do not fix this and waiting sure hasn't. Is anyone else having this issue and is there a fix?

I usually connect my iPad Pro M1 to an external monitor via the USB-C port without any issues. However, after updating to iPadOS 26 Beta 5 and now Beta 6, the connection no longer works. To troubleshoot, I tested other devices and setups: Tried connecting a wireless mouse via a 2.4GHz USB receiver - no response. Tried connecting the iPad to my MacBook via USB-C to USB-C cable - not recognized. Both the external monitor and mouse still work perfectly with my MacBook Air (macOS 18.6). This leads me to believe there may be a problem with the iPad’s USB-C data transfer functionality. I’ve checked the iPadOS 26 Beta Release Notes and found no mention of this issue. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Has Apple acknowledged it or provided any updates? Thanks for your help!

When using UISearchController, scope buttons never appear. On iPadOS 18 this works fine. This is a showstopper bug for me and my app. Is there anything I can do about it? Sample project is attached to feedback FB19587622.

Hi, I am a Multimedia and Graphics researcher and I am wondering if OpenGL API and drivers will be removed after appleOS 26? macOS 26 iOS 26 iPadOS 26 visionOS 26 I am asking this because most of the libraries I use depends on OpenGL. Like CGAL, libigl, immediate mode ui, nanovg, nanogui, bullet physics. Transitioning from Vulkan and metal while using and learning those libraries is just not viable. I would like to ask you that. I am the sole developer and I just want to ask you that. Regards.

I regularly bump into folks confused by this issue, so I thought I’d collect my thoughts on the topic into a single (hopefully) coherent post. If you have questions or comments, put them in a new thread here on the forums. Feel free to use whatever subtopic and tags that apply to your situation, but make sure to add the Debugging tag so that I see your thread go by.

These suggest a fundamental misunderstanding of how the debugger interacts with iOS’s background execution model. The goal of this post is to explain that misunderstanding so that you can effectively test and debug background code. Note Th

As above M4 iPad Pro and all of a sudden WiFi will go to missing the Bars at top right of screen and nothing works. However if you go into settings it shows that WiFi is still connected to my network. Have iPadOS 26 and problem is only on iPad. All other devices on the network show no issues. I have Gigabit service with Fios And my own rock solid router which works great. All my other Mac devices work fine. After a few minutes the WiFi returns but I don’t know why.

I'm trying to download mods for Stardew Valley, before the beta it worked but now it doesn't. Is there anyone who can help to fix this? Used Firefox and Safari as well as Safari on my ipad.
