Hi, I've discovered that my Keyboard Extension is unable to detect any hinge status update on iPhone Duo. I tired both UIKit and SwiftUI approach - nothing works. Is there any workaround to make it work? Reproducible demo: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0460exMJtAdRkpk8EDjb751nw Xcode 27.1 (27A9269) iOS 27.1 beta 1 (24A94401) I also created a bug report: FB24883137

What happens Since installing macOS 27.2 b2 (didn't go through b1, might have been there already), the Contacts app has become almost unusable on my two Macs. Opening a contact or moving to the next one often freezes the app for 8 to 10 seconds, with the spinning wheel. It happens many times in a row while browsing the address book. It comes back no matter what I try: restarting, letting iCloud resync the contacts, deleting and recreating cards. Once, it seemed to go away for a couple of minutes upon restarting, but it returned. Both Macs share the same iCloud account (~690 contacts): a MacBook Pro M4 Pro and a Mac mini M4, both on 27.2 b2 (26B5091g). Reported as FB24928119. Technical details All 18 Contacts_*.spin reports show the main thread blocked in CNCDContactFetcher withLockedContext_fetchPosterData, waiting on a synchronous XPC call to com.apple.contacts.poster.api. That service is postersyncd, which syncs Contact Posters. The kernel kills postersyncd with exceeded mem limit: InactiveHard 20 MB (fatal) at 30–35 MB. launchd relaunches it every ~10 s: 74 kills in 26 h on one Mac, 54 in 24 h on the other. log stream --level debug shows the same sequence on every relaunch: START: Background cleanup → Potential cleanup for missingLocalContactIdentifiers → FetchingContacts → killed within the same second. The cleanup never finishes, so it restarts forever. The poster store (group.com.apple.contacts/ContactsMetadata) is ~85 MB, with blobs of up to 9 MB each. The memory limit stays InactiveHard even while Contacts is frontmost. Moving the poster store aside doesn't help: iCloud rebuilds it in ~25 s. Posters deleted from iOS or iCloud.com get a deletion date but are never purged. Question: has anyone else seen this on 27.2 b2? Is there a way to reset the Contact Posters data stored in iCloud?

I have installed the latest beta on my iPad , iPadOS 16.1 (20B5050f) On running in app in Playgrounds that has a TextField, external keyboard input do not seem to be working. Tapping on the Text field inserts the cursor but no text can be entered on my external keyboard. (TextEditor field also do not work) Tested with both a Smart Keyboard and a Magic Keyboard. The keyboard works to enter the code in playgrounds, so it is not a keyboard connection issue. Disconnecting the keyboard, the onscreen keyboard is displayed and works correctly. Is this a Playgrounds issue or an iPadOS 16.1 issue or a compatibility issue with Playgrounds & iPadOS 16.1 ? import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View {     @State var field: String = "Test input"          var body: some View {         VStack {             Image(systemName: "globe")                 .imageScale(.large)                 .foregroundColor(.accentColor)             Text("Hello, world!")             TextField("", text: $field)                 .frame(height: 100)         }     } }

I am unable to build to my Series 12 which is on watchOS 27.2 beta 2, I have macOS 27.2 beta 2 and Xcode 27.2 beta 2 but when I open up Device Hub, and click on my watch, it says Tunnel State("Connecting" then "Disconnected") and won't ever connect. the app im building is watchOS only and so iPhone is incompatible and I've tried restarting every device but nothing works.

Adding an image or detail text to a CPListSection makes the whole header disappear. With no detailText or headerImage With detailText or headerImage FB24061858 open but no response.

Since upgrading to macOS 27 Golden Gate, my Mac Studio (M4) recognises my Logitech MX Brio 4K webcam, but no video feed is displayed. The camera appears to be detected by the system, but the video signal does not show up in: FaceTime Photo Booth Logitech Options+ I've spent quite a bit of time troubleshooting the issue, including following diagnostic steps suggested by Siri and Copilot, but everything points to a potential macOS-related problem rather than a hardware or configuration issue. Has anyone else experienced this with the MX Brio or other webcams on macOS 27 Golden Gate? I reported the issue to Apple through the Feedback app when Beta 1 was released, but so far I haven't received a response or found a workaround. Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

While testing the watchOS 27 beta, I noticed that the standalone Walkie-Talkie app has been removed from the system. Walkie-Talkie has always been a great, lightweight way to stay connected. Much like Digital Touch, it’s one of those quick, low-friction features that makes the watch feel uniquely personal for communication throughout the day. I am really hoping its absence is just a temporary beta omission rather than a permanent retirement of the feature. I have already submitted a request via Feedback Assistant asking the engineering team to consider keeping it in the final release. If you also rely on this app for quick wrist-to-wrist updates, I highly recommend submitting your own feedback ticket to let the team know there is still an active user base for it. (FB23040695) Has anyone else ran into this or found an official note from Apple regarding its removal in the release notes? Hopefully, we will see it return before the public release this fall. Over and out!

Messages had its stickiness in previous OS versions, but now with Mojave, I'm experiencing more hangs than previously.Anyone else's experience?much obliged

Filed as FB24619522 — sysdiagnoses from both devices and the live logs are attached to the report. We ship WidgetKit complications, and on the watchOS 27 betas (24R5360a, paired with iOS 27 24A5430a) they die every time the app gets updated while they're on the active face. Within seconds they turn into empty placeholders and never come back on their own — opening the app, switching faces or reloading timelines from the app does nothing. The watch logs show the extension being killed during the install (normal), and after that watchOS simply can't launch the new copy any more: runningboardd: <OSLaunchdJob | handle=…>: start succeeded, info=spawn failed, error=111: Invalid or missing Program/ProgramArguments chronod(ChronoKit): Reload failed; 0 retries remaining: … "Unknown extension process" Only two things fix it, and both restart chronod: rebooting the watch, or switching the watch language and back (iPhone › Watch app › General › Language & Region, then give it a couple of minutes). Our second extension in the same bundle, which wasn't running during the install, came back fine — so this looks like an OS bug rather than something we can work around in code. iOS 27 widgets seem to have the same problem (this thread, and iPhone in Canada wrote it up on beta 4), and someone posted the identical log lines back in March. FB24619522 — the full story, both sysdiagnoses and the live logs are in the Feedback.

I am testing out the new auto-generated subtitles feature on iOS 27 and tvOS 27. It works on iOS, but not on tvOS. Very same HLS videos. Anyone have any experience with auto-generated subtitles on tvOS 27? AFAICT, there is no special code needed to enable this feature for our apps, correct?

Summary On iOS 27 the top scroll edge effect of a UITableView is sized around the UIRefreshControl as an edge element, but appears to key on the control's presence in the scroll view rather than its current height. After endRefreshing(), the control collapses to zero height but stays attached, and the effect region keeps reserving a refresh-control's worth of space. The first row stays blurred and dimmed even though it is scrolled fully clear of the navigation bar. Environment iOS 27 (beta), iPhone Xcode 27.0.0 Beta 4 UIKit, UITableView inside a UINavigationController Reproduces with the default edge effect style and with an explicit .soft Steps to reproduce Push a UITableViewController with a UIRefreshControl onto a navigation stack. Ensure content extends under the navigation bar (default for UITableViewController). Pull to refresh and let the refresh end. Observe the first row after the refresh control has retracted. Expected Once the control retracts, the edge effect returns to its pre-pull height and the first row renders crisply. Actual The region stays roughly one refresh-control height too tall and the first row stays blurred. Row positions are unaffected — content offset and adjustedContentInset are correct. Only the extent of the effect is wrong. It corrects itself on the next push/pop. Two probes that isolate it These narrow the cause to the control's presence rather than a general staleness: Re-assigning tableView.topEdgeEffect.style after endRefreshing(), including on a later runloop turn, does NOT correct the region. The style is not what is stale. Detaching the control DOES correct it immediately: tableView.refreshControl = nil So the region is measured from the control being in the hierarchy, and is never re-measured when the control merely collapses. Secondary issue A UIRefreshControl that has been detached is inert if the same instance is re-assigned: tableView.refreshControl = nil tableView.refreshControl = sameInstance // never triggers again A freshly constructed UIRefreshControl must be assigned instead. This is not documented and looks like a second bug. Minimal sample Attached. A UITableViewController with a refresh control and a "Push" bar button that pushes and pops an empty view controller, so the incorrect region and the post-navigation correction can be compared in one run. Related FB20756572 reports the same "edge-effect extent is stale until the next navigation" behaviour for UIScrollEdgeElementContainerInteraction sizing, and notes a change in iOS 27 seed 1. That report received no reply.

I have so far been unable to enrol a macOS 27 beta VM in to Jamf since initial beta release. Is this by design? I can’t find any documentation or posts on apple developer forums about this anywhere. My agentic coding session has done some probing around in the VM and it thinks something is going wrong with Secure Keychain within the VM. Everybody on my team is observing the same behaviour as this, and I’ve had it happening across two different laptops (one of them which is, itself, running the latest macOS 27 Beta, and the other which I created a Beta VM by installing Tahoe in the VM, logging in to iCloud, and enabling Beta channel updates) The only thing we’ve found we can do so far is to join to Jamf in Tahoe first, but the problem I have there is, often times the option for Beta channel updates just doesn’t present itself in System Settings -> Software Update after signing in to iCloud, and I don’t know why it sometimes does but often doesn’t. Logs from agentic coding session below: The core log evidence This is the whole causal chain, from the 27 guest's unified log, inside 370 microseconds.

Then every courier line reports Connected on 0 interfaces, and mdmclient sets its PushWakeTopics only to get Connection Invalid for service com.apple.apsd and tear down. The command to regenerate it: log show --predicate 'process == "apsd"' --last 60m --info | grep -iE 'BAA|unable to generate key|server bag'.

So a virtualised guest per se is fine; the 27 guest specifically cannot mint the key. The physical host, also on macOS 27.0, likewise logged zero of both failures over 3 hours.

Environment: Xcode 27.0 beta 6, Device Hub, tvOS 27.0 When focusing a TextField and using Device Hub to run on tvOS 27.0, I cannot type any text into the field. Focus moves to the TextField as expected, but keyboard input is not received. Has anyone else run into this? Any workaround would be appreciated.

Hi everyone! Could anyone testing iPadOS 27.2 Beta 2 on an iPad please check a Display Zoom keyboard bug for me? When setting Display Zoom to Larger Text (Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Display Zoom), the spacebar becomes extremely small and squeezed between the language/layout switching keys. Just to add — this applies to both Developer Beta 2 and Public Beta . Thanks to anyone who can test this! Is this UI bug fixed in Beta 2? Thanks!

I’m building a SwiftUI app that fetches public JSON data using URLSession.shared. The request works correctly in the iPhone 17 Pro Max Simulator, but fails on my physical iPhone 16 Pro Max running iOS 27 beta. Endpoint: https://api.jolpi.ca/ergast/f1/2026/driverstandings.json?limit=100 Error: NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1009 “The Internet connection appears to be offline.” NWPath: unsatisfied (Denied over Wi-Fi interface) Resolved 0 endpoints in 1ms The device can access the endpoint through Safari, and the same request works in Simulator. VPN, cellular permissions, Wi-Fi changes, and ATS settings have been checked. Could this be an iOS 27 beta networking regression affecting URLSession on physical devices? Are there recommended workarounds or diagnostics?

Hi everyone, I recently updated my Mac to macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta and have encountered a strange issue with window management over a remote connection. Issue: When connected to my Mac via Chrome Remote Desktop (CRD), I can no longer move application windows by dragging their title bars (outer frames). Details: Curiously, I can still drag and move individual tabs within apps (like Chrome or Terminal), which means mouse drag input itself is being transmitted correctly to the OS. This issue only happens when attempting to drag the window title bar/frame over a remote session. Local mouse/trackpad control works perfectly. Everything was working completely fine before the update to macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta. What I've tried so far (with no success): Toggled Accessibility permissions off and on for ChromeRemoteDesktopHost and restarted the Mac. Disallowed and re-allowed Screen Recording permissions. Completely re-installed the Chrome Remote Desktop host application. Disabled "Tile windows by dragging to screen edges" in System Settings to avoid snapping conflicts. It seems like WindowServer or the system-level window management is blocking or ignoring virtual mouse drag inputs specifically on title bars since this beta update. Has anyone else experienced this on macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta, or is there a known API change / security restriction in this version that affects remote input handling for WindowServer? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

iPadOS更新到27后它的这个iPad Pro五代12.9英寸，也就是M1芯片的那一个，更新以后屏幕存在完全失灵，无法进行手势操控的bug，是我买了当年买了这个妙控键盘，所以现在就只能用那空键盘上面的触控板来操作，所以有人来帮我解决一下这个事

I'm stuck. I'm trying to install the beta of macOS 27 (Golden Gate) for testing. I have: Created a new APFS volume Installed a fresh copy of macOS 26.7 Booted new volume, created an account, and logged in using my developer account Followed the instructions for "Installing and using Apple Beta Software" (https://developer.apple.com/support/install-beta/#macos-beta), specifically Opened System Settings > General > Software Updates Clicked on Beta Updates (i) button But the only options it gives me are "Off" and "macOS 26 Developer Betas". There is no place to select "macOS 27 beta" It shows my developer account in the beta updates window. I've confirmed that my account is up-to-date. There's obviously some step I'm missing, but I don't know what.

I'm running the latest beta 27.2 (26B5086k) on a 2022 Mac Studio M1 Max, and I'm experiencing a new issue. I do a lot of writing, dictating, and reading, so I frequently use the text-to-speech feature. After the recent update, my shortcut for "Speak Selection" stopped working. I tried restarting the machine, but it still won't read the selected text. I also attempted to adjust the settings, but the system settings froze. Also its not even loading the controller. Any help getting this feature working again would be greatly appreciated!
