iOS 27 Beta - Multiple Critical Issues (Bluetooth, Networking, Feedback Assistant Error)
Device: iPhone 17 Pro iOS Version: iOS 27 beta Problem Description I am experiencing the following issues on iOS 27 Beta: Bluetooth randomly turns off and on automatically • Bluetooth occasionally turns off by itself for a few seconds and then turns back on. • The issue is especially severe when connected to AirPods Pro 2 (latest beta firmware), but it also occurs even without AirPods connected. • It usually only starts happening frequently after the iPhone has been powered on for a long time. Restarting the device temporarily resolves it. 2. Network Connection Issues • Network frequently experiences lag and slow speeds. • The problem becomes particularly noticeable when cellular data is throttled to 1 Mbps. • Even when multiple strong Wi-Fi signals are available, the device often ignores them and continues using or automatically switches back to cellular data (relatively frequent intermittent issue). 3. Feedback Assistant completely broken • Trying to submit feedback through the Feedback Assistant app delay fails with the following error: 开始反馈时出错 请稍后再试。

Xcode 27 beta: "Missing package product" for a Swift Package in a registry
I have a project that builds fine in macOS 26 with Xcode 26. On macOS 27 b4 and Xcode beta, the same project can't build because of a framework that should be pulled from a Swift Package from a package-registry (named Registry, for example below), hosted on JFrog. I have the registry set up and have the token in keychain. The resolution of the packages works. But when I build, I get error like this: error: Missing package product 'Registry.Package_Package.Package' (in target 'Target' from project 'Project') . The real package should just be 'Registry.Package'. Any help with that? Is it a bug?

Unable to enrol macOS 27 beta VMs in to Jamf
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.

macOS 27 beta — TCC intermittently blocks file writes during postinstall (I/O errors when unpacking .app)
Our app uses a Distribution.xml-based installer. Within the postinstall script, we attempt to untar a signed and notarized .app to the /Applications directory. On macOS 27 (tested up to Developer Beta 4), the tar command randomly fails to write random unpacked files with an I/O error; in the console there is "spolicyd[721] revoked access to "/Applications/XXX.app/file/within". It can be reproduced approximately every 4th install. Is this happening for anyone else? Any known workaround?

VPN disappeared from Menu Bar
I've recently updated to Golden Gate Beta4 to test 'fm' capabilities. Until Beta3, everything was OK; now my VPN icon from Menu Bar has disappeared. This is build 26A5388g. 'defaults -currentHost read com.apple.controlcenter' output showing VPN = 2 alongside the working modules (Battery = 4, Sound = 2) for contrast. No row in System Settings › Control Center › Menu Bar Controls for VPN appears under "Add Controls…". I have a valid IKEv2 config that exists and is visible in Network settings. I've already ruled out: delete/recreate the config, reboots, 'killall ControlCenter', no MDM activated on this machine, no managed preferences. Any idea how this can be fixed?

How to install macOS Tahoe 26 on an external drive
In the past I was always able to install every major macOS version on an external drive so that I can test my apps. But now I'm unable to install macOS Tahoe 26 on an external drive. Actually, as far as I'm aware, there are not even official links to macOS 26 installers, but only instructions on how to update to macOS 26 from an existing macOS installation. So I thought I'd install macOS 15 on a separate drive and then update to macOS 26, but whenever I run the macOS 15 installer, tell it to install on the external drive, and reboot after the setup process completes, my MacBook just boots into my main macOS partition as if nothing happened. 3 months ago I somehow managed to install macOS Tahoe beta 1 on an external drive, I don't remember how (but I don't think it was anything crazy); booting into that beta 1 partition and trying to update doesn't work either, as my MacBook again boots into my main macOS partition. I already asked help about the update problem one month ago here, but nobody replied. Could someone at Apple please provide instructions on how one is supposed to install macOS 26 on an external drive (if possible before it becomes available to the public)? Are we supposed to buy a separate Mac for every macOS version that we want to test our apps on?

Multiple calls to same caller - Iphone
I'm not sure where the best place to post this. Previous to ios 26, if you called a phone number multiple times, it used to have the number of calls in brackets, but more importantly pressing i next to the call would give you the call times for each call. In ios 26, say you called the same number 4 times, now when you press i, it only gives you the call time of the last call. Can anyone on ios 27 beta confirm if this has now been fixed, or if not how it can be raised with the ios development team. Finally, i know you have an option called call history, however for some reason not all calls show, and facetime/ whatsapp calls are not showing at all. Thanks

BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING (422) blocking all TestFlight, agreements all Active
Hi, I'm completely blocked from TestFlight. Every attempt returns: "status": "422", "code": "BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING", "title": "Beta contract is missing for the app." This is an older account that has used TestFlight fine before. Nothing changed on my end, no account changes, no agreement updates. What I've already checked: Business > Agreements: Paid Apps and Free Apps both Active Tax forms and bank account Active No pending banners anywhere in App Store Connect or developer.apple.com Test Information complete Export compliance answered Build processes to VALID with no warnings Same error on a brand new app with a fresh build, so it looks like the beta contract is detached on the backend rather than an app-level problem. I've filed a support request and haven't heard back. This is time sensitive, I have a client pilot waiting on an external TestFlight link. Is there any way to get this re-provisioned? Apple Support case ID: 20000118605424 Thanks.

Problem with Local Network Access
Hi, I am running macos golden gate beta on my Mac. Some applications have issues accessing the local network, i.e. Windows app (former RDP), Orca Slicer, Bitwarden... The apps can not access the local network. And they don't ask for permission to access the local network. In my previous installations with Macos before Golden Gate these all worked with no problems. When I check the settings in System Settings/Privacy&Security/Local Network: In the summary of the section it says there are 3 (three) apps In the list for Local Network, there are only 2 (two) apps listed. The apps mentioned above never appear in this list I also removed in recovery mode the .plist-files for networkextensions => still the same issue How can I grant access for the applications? Thanks for any help Joerg

iOS 27 Beta 4 restore
When trying to restore iOS 27 Beta 4 to my iPhone, I get the error "To restore your iPhone with iOS 27.0, you need to install the latest version of iTunes." I've examined the BuildManifest.plist file which has the below MobileDeviceMinVersion 1853 but my PC has 1827 which I assume is why it's failing. I've checked both MS Store and the web and I have the latest iTunes installed. When will Apple be releasing a version that supports iOS 27 beta 4 so I can restore it to my iPhone.

Need Support - iPhone SE (3rd gen) Screen Dead Zone on Left Side
My iPhone SE (3rd generation) keeps developing a dead zone on the left side of the screen. It resolves itself after a restart, but comes back shortly after. It started when I was beta testing iOS 27 Beta 1, but I've since tried both updating to Beta 2, and downgrading back down to iOS 26. The problem persisted on all three versions. I currently have it on iOS 26.5.2. I did have a screen protector on it, but it started a while after I had it applied. I tried removing it to see if that would fix it, but it didn't. I have a case on the phone and have never dropped it or spilled anything on it, I am very careful with it, and only got it a couple weeks ago. Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix it? Any help is appreciated!

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth intermittently turn off on iOS 27 Beta 1
I am experiencing random Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disconnections while using iOS 27. Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disconnect unexpectedly, then reconnect automatically a few seconds later. I have seen many similar reports on Reddit, so this does not seem to be an isolated issue. I have already submitted a report through Feedback Assistant with the feedback ID FB23121586. I hope this issue can be fixed soon, because it is really stressful when playing online games on my iPhone and worrying that the connection might suddenly drop. :(

title:tvOS%2027.0%20Beta%20(24J5325d)%20-%20Random%20HDMI-CEC/eARC%20Audio%20Disconnection%20issues%20with%20Sony%20TV%20(XR-65X90L)%20and%20Soundbar%20(HT-S2000)
Body: Hello, I am experiencing a persistent and frustrating audio dropout issue after updating my Apple TV to tvOS 27.0 Beta(Build: 24J5325d).[Hardware Setup] Source: Apple TV 4K running tvOS 27.0 (24J5325d) Display: Sony BRAVIA XR-65X90L (Connected via HDMI 4) Audio System: Sony HT-S2000 Soundbar + SA-RS3S Rear Speakers + SA-SW3 Subwoofer (Connected to TV HDMI 3 eARC port) [The Problem] While watching content randomly across various apps (including YouTube, Infuse, and Apple TV app), the audio suddenly cuts out completely. The Sony TV then displays a system error message: "TV speakers activated due to audio system communication failure." This issue is intermittent, occurring once every few days. Once it happens, the eARC handshake appears completely locked up. The only way to temporarily restore the audio system connection is to perform a full system reboot of the Sony TV or toggle the Apple TV audio input source. [StepsTried/Troubleshooting] 1.Format Isolation: If I force the Apple TV audio output format to "Change Format -> Dolby Digital 5.1" instead of the default uncompressed LPCM, the connection becomes significantly more stable and the dropouts cease. 2.Cable & TV Check: All HDMI cables are Ultra High Speed (HDMI 2.1) compliant. TV settings such as "RS232C control" have been disabled, but the issue persists on the default Auto/LPCM audio output mode. [Expected Behavior] The multi-channel audio stream (LPCM/Atmos) sent from Apple TV should pass through the eARC chain smoothly without causing HDMI-CEC/eARC packet collision or freezing the display's audio daemon mid-playback. It seems like the LPCM audio stream packaging or the CEC heartbeat signals in this specific tvOS 27.0 beta build occasionally send corrupted or unexpected data packets, triggering an aggressive eARC protection/fai-safe mechanism on the Sony TV side. Is anyone else experiencing similar eARC dropouts with Sony sound systems on this beta? Any insights from the engineering team regarding HDMI/CEC driver changes in this build would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

SKStoreReviewController requestReviewInScene: does not display review prompt in debug builds on iOS 26.5 beta (23F5043k)
[SKStoreReviewController requestReviewInScene:] no longer displays the review prompt in debug/development builds on iOS 26.5 beta (23F5043k and 23F5043g). According to Apple's documentation, the review prompt should always appear in debug builds to facilitate testing. This was working in previous iOS versions (iOS 26.4 and older). Steps to reproduce: Run app from Xcode in debug configuration on a device running iOS 26.5 beta (23F5043k or 23F5043g) Call [SKStoreReviewController requestReviewInScene:windowScene] with a valid, foreground-active UIWindowScene Observe that the method executes without error (scene is valid per NSLog) but no review prompt appears Expected: Review prompt should display in debug builds Actual: No prompt appears, despite the scene being valid and foreground-active This worked correctly on previous iOS versions (26.4) so looks like this bug was introduced in 26.5 Beta versions. I have already filed a bug report in Feedback Assistant with number: FB22445620

Enterprise iOS apps fail before app code runs on iOS 27 Developer Beta on iPhone 11/12
We are seeing a startup issue with in-house enterprise iOS apps on iOS 27 Developer Beta. We would like to understand whether this could be related to changes in iOS 27 Developer Beta startup validation, code signing validation, provisioning profile validation, certificate chain validation, entitlements, embedded frameworks, enterprise developer trust state, or device-specific launch behavior. This issue blocks our enterprise app compatibility validation on iOS 27 Developer Beta, especially on iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 devices. If this is a known beta issue, we would appreciate confirmation from Apple and any available fix plan or workaround. Symptoms: After installing the same enterprise app, some iPhone 11 / iPhone 12 devices running iOS 27 Developer Beta cannot launch it correctly. There are two visible behaviors: When launched from the Home Screen icon, the app stays on the Launch Screen. The normal app UI never appears. When launched from Spotlight/Search, the app crashes immediately. Additional observations: iPhone 13 and later devices do not show this issue. Other enterprise apps distributed with the same provisioning profile or provisioning setup show the same behavior. This makes the issue look less like a single app's business logic problem and more like an iOS 27 Developer Beta validation, trust, or launch-time behavior difference on specific device models. We added logs and breakpoints at the earliest possible app startup points, including main, AppDelegate, SceneDelegate, and before crash-reporting SDK initialization. On affected devices, none of these logs are printed. Based on this, it appears that our app code is never reached. The failure seems to happen before iOS transfers control to the app, possibly while launching the process or loading the app binary/frameworks. Our current suspicion is that the failure may happen during one of these system-level steps: Enterprise code signing validation embedded.mobileprovision validation Certificate chain validation Enterprise developer certificate trust validation Mach-O / embedded frameworks / dynamic libraries loading Entitlements validation Bundle ID / App ID / provisioning profile matching Reuse of stale local enterprise trust, provisioning, or signing validation state on the device Temporary workaround observed: We found a temporary workaround on affected devices: Completely uninstall the existing enterprise app from the device. Download and install the app again. Trust the enterprise developer certificate again in Settings. Launch the app again. After doing this, the app can start normally on the affected iPhone 11 / iPhone 12 devices running iOS 27 Developer Beta. The Launch Screen hang and Spotlight/Search crash no longer reproduce. This suggests that the IPA itself may not be permanently invalid, and the issue may not be caused by app business logic. It may instead be related to stale or invalid local enterprise trust, provisioning profile, certificate chain, or signing validation state after upgrading to iOS 27 Developer Beta. Questions: Does iOS 27 Developer Beta introduce any new restrictions or behavior changes for enterprise in-house app launch validation, code signing validation, enterprise developer trust state, embedded frameworks loading, entitlements, or provisioning profile validation? Are there any known differences in this area between iPhone 11 / iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 or later devices on iOS 27 Developer Beta? If multiple enterprise apps distributed with the same provisioning profile or provisioning setup fail before app code runs, does that point more strongly to a provisioning profile, certificate chain, enterprise trust state, or system validation issue? Given that completely uninstalling the old enterprise app, reinstalling it, and trusting the enterprise developer certificate again fixes the issue, could this be caused by stale trust, provisioning profile, certificate, or code-signing validation state cached on the device after upgrading to iOS 27 Developer Beta? For an enterprise app that stays on the Launch Screen before app code runs, or crashes immediately when launched from Spotlight/Search, what are the most common signing, certificate, provisioning profile, entitlement, or enterprise trust problems to check? Which system logs or crash log fields should we focus on for this kind of pre-main launch failure? For example: device console, crash log, Termination Reason, dyld message, Code Signature Invalid, profile validation, or trust evaluation messages. Are there recommended commands or checks to verify that the IPA's code signature, certificates, entitlements, embedded.mobileprovision, and embedded frameworks are all valid and consistent? If this is an iOS 27 Developer Beta regression, is there any known workaround until the issue is fixed? Environment: Distribution type: Apple Developer Enterprise Program / In-House distribution Affected OS: iOS 27 Developer Beta Affected devices: iPhone 11 / iPhone 12 Unaffected devices: iPhone 13 and later Same provisioning profile or provisioning setup: other enterprise apps show the same behavior Behavior 1: stuck on Launch Screen when launched from Home Screen Behavior 2: crashes immediately when launched from Spotlight/Search App code execution: not reached main/AppDelegate/SceneDelegate logs: not printed Crash SDK initialization: not reached Temporary workaround: completely uninstall the old enterprise app, reinstall it, and trust the enterprise developer certificate again. After that, the app launches normally. Impact: blocks enterprise app compatibility validation on iOS 27 Developer Beta for affected devices Suspected area: iOS 27 Developer Beta startup validation / code signing / provisioning profile / certificate / enterprise developer trust state / entitlements / embedded frameworks / device-specific validation behavior We are looking for guidance on how to confirm whether this is caused by an iOS 27 Developer Beta signing, provisioning profile, or enterprise developer trust validation change on iPhone 11 / iPhone 12, rather than an app-level crash. If this is a system issue in iOS 27 Developer Beta, we hope Apple can provide a fix or a practical temporary workaround as soon as possible.

Window dragging (via Title Bar) fails over Chrome Remote Desktop after updating to macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta
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!

macOS 27 beta — TCC intermittently blocks file writes during postinstall (I/O errors when unpacking .app)
Our app uses a Distribution.xml-based installer. Within the postinstall script, we attempt to untar a signed and notarized .app to the /Applications directory. On macOS 27 (tested up to Developer Beta 4), the tar command randomly fails to write random unpacked files with an I/O error; in the console there is "spolicyd[721] revoked access to "/Applications/XXX.app/file/within". It can be reproduced approximately every 4th install. Is this happening for anyone else? Any known workaround?

VPN disappeared from Menu Bar
I've recently updated to Golden Gate Beta4 to test 'fm' capabilities. Until Beta3, everything was OK; now my VPN icon from Menu Bar has disappeared. This is build 26A5388g. 'defaults -currentHost read com.apple.controlcenter' output showing VPN = 2 alongside the working modules (Battery = 4, Sound = 2) for contrast. No row in System Settings › Control Center › Menu Bar Controls for VPN appears under "Add Controls…". I have a valid IKEv2 config that exists and is visible in Network settings. I've already ruled out: delete/recreate the config, reboots, 'killall ControlCenter', no MDM activated on this machine, no managed preferences. Any idea how this can be fixed?

How to install macOS Tahoe 26 on an external drive
In the past I was always able to install every major macOS version on an external drive so that I can test my apps. But now I'm unable to install macOS Tahoe 26 on an external drive. Actually, as far as I'm aware, there are not even official links to macOS 26 installers, but only instructions on how to update to macOS 26 from an existing macOS installation. So I thought I'd install macOS 15 on a separate drive and then update to macOS 26, but whenever I run the macOS 15 installer, tell it to install on the external drive, and reboot after the setup process completes, my MacBook just boots into my main macOS partition as if nothing happened. 3 months ago I somehow managed to install macOS Tahoe beta 1 on an external drive, I don't remember how (but I don't think it was anything crazy); booting into that beta 1 partition and trying to update doesn't work either, as my MacBook again boots into my main macOS partition. I already asked help about the update problem one month ago here, but nobody replied. Could someone at Apple please provide instructions on how one is supposed to install macOS 26 on an external drive (if possible before it becomes available to the public)? Are we supposed to buy a separate Mac for every macOS version that we want to test our apps on?

Multiple calls to same caller - Iphone
I'm not sure where the best place to post this. Previous to ios 26, if you called a phone number multiple times, it used to have the number of calls in brackets, but more importantly pressing i next to the call would give you the call times for each call. In ios 26, say you called the same number 4 times, now when you press i, it only gives you the call time of the last call. Can anyone on ios 27 beta confirm if this has now been fixed, or if not how it can be raised with the ios development team. Finally, i know you have an option called call history, however for some reason not all calls show, and facetime/ whatsapp calls are not showing at all. Thanks

BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING (422) blocking all TestFlight, agreements all Active
Hi, I'm completely blocked from TestFlight. Every attempt returns: "status": "422", "code": "BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING", "title": "Beta contract is missing for the app." This is an older account that has used TestFlight fine before. Nothing changed on my end, no account changes, no agreement updates. What I've already checked: Business > Agreements: Paid Apps and Free Apps both Active Tax forms and bank account Active No pending banners anywhere in App Store Connect or developer.apple.com Test Information complete Export compliance answered Build processes to VALID with no warnings Same error on a brand new app with a fresh build, so it looks like the beta contract is detached on the backend rather than an app-level problem. I've filed a support request and haven't heard back. This is time sensitive, I have a client pilot waiting on an external TestFlight link. Is there any way to get this re-provisioned? Apple Support case ID: 20000118605424 Thanks.

Problem with Local Network Access
Hi, I am running macos golden gate beta on my Mac. Some applications have issues accessing the local network, i.e. Windows app (former RDP), Orca Slicer, Bitwarden... The apps can not access the local network. And they don't ask for permission to access the local network. In my previous installations with Macos before Golden Gate these all worked with no problems. When I check the settings in System Settings/Privacy&Security/Local Network: In the summary of the section it says there are 3 (three) apps In the list for Local Network, there are only 2 (two) apps listed. The apps mentioned above never appear in this list I also removed in recovery mode the .plist-files for networkextensions => still the same issue How can I grant access for the applications? Thanks for any help Joerg

iOS 27 Beta 4 restore
When trying to restore iOS 27 Beta 4 to my iPhone, I get the error "To restore your iPhone with iOS 27.0, you need to install the latest version of iTunes." I've examined the BuildManifest.plist file which has the below MobileDeviceMinVersion 1853 but my PC has 1827 which I assume is why it's failing. I've checked both MS Store and the web and I have the latest iTunes installed. When will Apple be releasing a version that supports iOS 27 beta 4 so I can restore it to my iPhone.

Need Support - iPhone SE (3rd gen) Screen Dead Zone on Left Side
My iPhone SE (3rd generation) keeps developing a dead zone on the left side of the screen. It resolves itself after a restart, but comes back shortly after. It started when I was beta testing iOS 27 Beta 1, but I've since tried both updating to Beta 2, and downgrading back down to iOS 26. The problem persisted on all three versions. I currently have it on iOS 26.5.2. I did have a screen protector on it, but it started a while after I had it applied. I tried removing it to see if that would fix it, but it didn't. I have a case on the phone and have never dropped it or spilled anything on it, I am very careful with it, and only got it a couple weeks ago. Has anyone else had this problem? How can I fix it? Any help is appreciated!

Wi-Fi and Bluetooth intermittently turn off on iOS 27 Beta 1
I am experiencing random Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disconnections while using iOS 27. Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disconnect unexpectedly, then reconnect automatically a few seconds later. I have seen many similar reports on Reddit, so this does not seem to be an isolated issue. I have already submitted a report through Feedback Assistant with the feedback ID FB23121586. I hope this issue can be fixed soon, because it is really stressful when playing online games on my iPhone and worrying that the connection might suddenly drop. :(

title:tvOS%2027.0%20Beta%20(24J5325d)%20-%20Random%20HDMI-CEC/eARC%20Audio%20Disconnection%20issues%20with%20Sony%20TV%20(XR-65X90L)%20and%20Soundbar%20(HT-S2000)
Body: Hello, I am experiencing a persistent and frustrating audio dropout issue after updating my Apple TV to tvOS 27.0 Beta(Build: 24J5325d).[Hardware Setup] Source: Apple TV 4K running tvOS 27.0 (24J5325d) Display: Sony BRAVIA XR-65X90L (Connected via HDMI 4) Audio System: Sony HT-S2000 Soundbar + SA-RS3S Rear Speakers + SA-SW3 Subwoofer (Connected to TV HDMI 3 eARC port) [The Problem] While watching content randomly across various apps (including YouTube, Infuse, and Apple TV app), the audio suddenly cuts out completely. The Sony TV then displays a system error message: "TV speakers activated due to audio system communication failure." This issue is intermittent, occurring once every few days. Once it happens, the eARC handshake appears completely locked up. The only way to temporarily restore the audio system connection is to perform a full system reboot of the Sony TV or toggle the Apple TV audio input source. [StepsTried/Troubleshooting] 1.Format Isolation: If I force the Apple TV audio output format to "Change Format -> Dolby Digital 5.1" instead of the default uncompressed LPCM, the connection becomes significantly more stable and the dropouts cease. 2.Cable & TV Check: All HDMI cables are Ultra High Speed (HDMI 2.1) compliant. TV settings such as "RS232C control" have been disabled, but the issue persists on the default Auto/LPCM audio output mode. [Expected Behavior] The multi-channel audio stream (LPCM/Atmos) sent from Apple TV should pass through the eARC chain smoothly without causing HDMI-CEC/eARC packet collision or freezing the display's audio daemon mid-playback. It seems like the LPCM audio stream packaging or the CEC heartbeat signals in this specific tvOS 27.0 beta build occasionally send corrupted or unexpected data packets, triggering an aggressive eARC protection/fai-safe mechanism on the Sony TV side. Is anyone else experiencing similar eARC dropouts with Sony sound systems on this beta? Any insights from the engineering team regarding HDMI/CEC driver changes in this build would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

SKStoreReviewController requestReviewInScene: does not display review prompt in debug builds on iOS 26.5 beta (23F5043k)
[SKStoreReviewController requestReviewInScene:] no longer displays the review prompt in debug/development builds on iOS 26.5 beta (23F5043k and 23F5043g). According to Apple's documentation, the review prompt should always appear in debug builds to facilitate testing. This was working in previous iOS versions (iOS 26.4 and older). Steps to reproduce: Run app from Xcode in debug configuration on a device running iOS 26.5 beta (23F5043k or 23F5043g) Call [SKStoreReviewController requestReviewInScene:windowScene] with a valid, foreground-active UIWindowScene Observe that the method executes without error (scene is valid per NSLog) but no review prompt appears Expected: Review prompt should display in debug builds Actual: No prompt appears, despite the scene being valid and foreground-active This worked correctly on previous iOS versions (26.4) so looks like this bug was introduced in 26.5 Beta versions. I have already filed a bug report in Feedback Assistant with number: FB22445620

Enterprise iOS apps fail before app code runs on iOS 27 Developer Beta on iPhone 11/12
We are seeing a startup issue with in-house enterprise iOS apps on iOS 27 Developer Beta. We would like to understand whether this could be related to changes in iOS 27 Developer Beta startup validation, code signing validation, provisioning profile validation, certificate chain validation, entitlements, embedded frameworks, enterprise developer trust state, or device-specific launch behavior. This issue blocks our enterprise app compatibility validation on iOS 27 Developer Beta, especially on iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 devices. If this is a known beta issue, we would appreciate confirmation from Apple and any available fix plan or workaround. Symptoms: After installing the same enterprise app, some iPhone 11 / iPhone 12 devices running iOS 27 Developer Beta cannot launch it correctly. There are two visible behaviors: When launched from the Home Screen icon, the app stays on the Launch Screen. The normal app UI never appears. When launched from Spotlight/Search, the app crashes immediately. Additional observations: iPhone 13 and later devices do not show this issue. Other enterprise apps distributed with the same provisioning profile or provisioning setup show the same behavior. This makes the issue look less like a single app's business logic problem and more like an iOS 27 Developer Beta validation, trust, or launch-time behavior difference on specific device models. We added logs and breakpoints at the earliest possible app startup points, including main, AppDelegate, SceneDelegate, and before crash-reporting SDK initialization. On affected devices, none of these logs are printed. Based on this, it appears that our app code is never reached. The failure seems to happen before iOS transfers control to the app, possibly while launching the process or loading the app binary/frameworks. Our current suspicion is that the failure may happen during one of these system-level steps: Enterprise code signing validation embedded.mobileprovision validation Certificate chain validation Enterprise developer certificate trust validation Mach-O / embedded frameworks / dynamic libraries loading Entitlements validation Bundle ID / App ID / provisioning profile matching Reuse of stale local enterprise trust, provisioning, or signing validation state on the device Temporary workaround observed: We found a temporary workaround on affected devices: Completely uninstall the existing enterprise app from the device. Download and install the app again. Trust the enterprise developer certificate again in Settings. Launch the app again. After doing this, the app can start normally on the affected iPhone 11 / iPhone 12 devices running iOS 27 Developer Beta. The Launch Screen hang and Spotlight/Search crash no longer reproduce. This suggests that the IPA itself may not be permanently invalid, and the issue may not be caused by app business logic. It may instead be related to stale or invalid local enterprise trust, provisioning profile, certificate chain, or signing validation state after upgrading to iOS 27 Developer Beta. Questions: Does iOS 27 Developer Beta introduce any new restrictions or behavior changes for enterprise in-house app launch validation, code signing validation, enterprise developer trust state, embedded frameworks loading, entitlements, or provisioning profile validation? Are there any known differences in this area between iPhone 11 / iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 or later devices on iOS 27 Developer Beta? If multiple enterprise apps distributed with the same provisioning profile or provisioning setup fail before app code runs, does that point more strongly to a provisioning profile, certificate chain, enterprise trust state, or system validation issue? Given that completely uninstalling the old enterprise app, reinstalling it, and trusting the enterprise developer certificate again fixes the issue, could this be caused by stale trust, provisioning profile, certificate, or code-signing validation state cached on the device after upgrading to iOS 27 Developer Beta? For an enterprise app that stays on the Launch Screen before app code runs, or crashes immediately when launched from Spotlight/Search, what are the most common signing, certificate, provisioning profile, entitlement, or enterprise trust problems to check? Which system logs or crash log fields should we focus on for this kind of pre-main launch failure? For example: device console, crash log, Termination Reason, dyld message, Code Signature Invalid, profile validation, or trust evaluation messages. Are there recommended commands or checks to verify that the IPA's code signature, certificates, entitlements, embedded.mobileprovision, and embedded frameworks are all valid and consistent? If this is an iOS 27 Developer Beta regression, is there any known workaround until the issue is fixed? Environment: Distribution type: Apple Developer Enterprise Program / In-House distribution Affected OS: iOS 27 Developer Beta Affected devices: iPhone 11 / iPhone 12 Unaffected devices: iPhone 13 and later Same provisioning profile or provisioning setup: other enterprise apps show the same behavior Behavior 1: stuck on Launch Screen when launched from Home Screen Behavior 2: crashes immediately when launched from Spotlight/Search App code execution: not reached main/AppDelegate/SceneDelegate logs: not printed Crash SDK initialization: not reached Temporary workaround: completely uninstall the old enterprise app, reinstall it, and trust the enterprise developer certificate again. After that, the app launches normally. Impact: blocks enterprise app compatibility validation on iOS 27 Developer Beta for affected devices Suspected area: iOS 27 Developer Beta startup validation / code signing / provisioning profile / certificate / enterprise developer trust state / entitlements / embedded frameworks / device-specific validation behavior We are looking for guidance on how to confirm whether this is caused by an iOS 27 Developer Beta signing, provisioning profile, or enterprise developer trust validation change on iPhone 11 / iPhone 12, rather than an app-level crash. If this is a system issue in iOS 27 Developer Beta, we hope Apple can provide a fix or a practical temporary workaround as soon as possible.

Window dragging (via Title Bar) fails over Chrome Remote Desktop after updating to macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta
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!

Mixed up Build Versions by ASC cannot detangle !
Hello - My new Build Version keeps entering on its own into an old Build Version Build Box under DISTRIBUTION. So I cannot add the new Build version to my New Build Version under Distribution. I tried to delete the older Build version so no mix up but ASC will not allow this to happen. Any way to clear this mess up? Nobody to call either so have written many emails to Support but I cannot wait for a month as this app is for the summer season which is NOW.
