Cannot Install Tahoe Beta 2 because Software Update Dialogue Box will not accept my Password (None in my case). Reports: "User interaction required" Recommendations?

Since updating my MacBook Air to macOS Tahoe 26.0 Developer Beta 2, I’ve encountered a persistent cursor misalignment issue: When interacting with lists or contextual menus, the cursor’s visual position does not align with what it actually selects. The system registers the cursor slightly above where it appears, causing clicks to select the wrong option or fail to register. As a temporary workaround, I can sometimes position the cursor off-target and press Enter to select, but this is a frustrating and inefficient workaround. The issue persists after a restart and appears across multiple areas of the OS: Right-clicking an app in the Dock to open the contextual menu → cursor highlights an incorrect item relative to its position. In System Settings menus. Even on the Feedback Assistant site when selecting issue categories. Steps to Reproduce: 1️⃣ Update to macOS Tahoe 26.0 Developer Beta 2 on MacBook Air. 2️⃣ Right-click on any open application in the Dock. 3️⃣ Attempt to select an option from the list that appears. 4️⃣ Observe that the cursor highlights or interacts with a different option than where the cursor is visibly located. Notes: Issue is consistent across reboots. Affects workflow and general navigation. Temporary workaround using keyboard navigation is insufficient for productivity.

I am writing to report multiple issues encountered after updating to Xcode 26 Beta, which have significantly impacted my project's compilation and functionality. My project can run normally in Xcode16.3 version, Below are the specific problems, along with the steps I took to address them and the subsequent errors that arose: Symbol Not Found Error for _NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb After updating to Xcode 26 Beta, my project failed to build with the error: "Symbol not found: _NSUserActivityTypeBrowsingWeb." To resolve this, I removed the MobileCoreServices framework from the Build Settings, as it appeared to be related. However, this led to a new error, indicating that this change introduced further complications. Clang++ Error: No Such File or Directory 'OpenGLES' Following the resolution of the first issue, I encountered a new error: "iOS clang++: error: no such file or directory: 'OpenGLES'." To address this, I added the OpenGLES.framework to the Build Phases. While this resolved the clang++ error, it triggered additional errors, suggesting that the underlying issue persists or new dependencies are conflicting. Recurring XIB File Compilation Errors My project uses XIB files, and every time I attempt to compile and run, Xcode reports errors related to different XIB files. Notably, when I open the reported XIB file, no errors are displayed within the Interface Builder. After saving or inspecting the file, the compilation error temporarily disappears, only for another XIB file to trigger the same issue in the next build. This creates a repetitive cycle. I have confirmed this is not a caching issue, as I clean the build cache (Product > Clean Build Folder) before each run. If I skip cleaning the cache, the OpenGLES-related error (Issue 2) reappears, indicating potential interactions between these problems. These issues have made development with Xcode 26 Beta extremely challenging, as each attempted fix seems to introduce new errors, and the XIB issue creates a persistent loop. My setup includes: Xcode Version: 26.0 beta 2 (17A5241o) macOS Version:15.4.1 (24E263)

Summary When using .tabViewBottomAccessory in SwiftUI and conditionally rendering it based on the selected tab, the app crashes with a NSInternalInconsistencyException related to _bottomAccessory.displayStyle. Steps to Reproduce Create a SwiftUI TabView using a @SceneStorage selectedTab binding. Render a .tabViewBottomAccessory with conditional visibility tied to selectedTab == .storage. Switch between tabs. Return to the tab that conditionally shows the accessory (e.g., “Storage”). Expected Behavior SwiftUI should correctly add, remove, or show/hide the bottom accessory view without crashing. Actual Behavior The app crashes with the following error: Environment iOS version: iOS 26 seed 2 (23A5276f) Xcode: 26 Swift: 6.2 Device: iPhone 12 Pro I have opened a bug report with the FB number: FB18479195 Code Sample import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { enum TabContent: String { case storage case recipe case profile case addItem } @SceneStorage("selectedTab") private var selectedTab: TabContent = .storage var body: some View { TabView(selection: $selectedTab) { Tab( "Storage", systemImage: "refrigerator", value: TabContent.storage ) { StorageView() } Tab( "Cook", systemImage: "frying.pan", value: TabContent.recipe ) { RecipeView() } Tab( "Profile", systemImage: "person", value: TabContent.profile ) { ProfileView() } } .tabBarMinimizeBehavior(.onScrollDown) .tabViewBottomAccessory { if selectedTab == .storage { Button(action: { }) { Label("Add Item", systemImage: "plus") } } } } }

Calling button flickers when making a call after updating to ios 26 beta 2 kindly solve the issue asap

After installing iOS 26 Developer Beta on my iPhone 13 mini, I encountered a critical battery issue. The battery percentage was stuck at 1%, and the phone could only be used while continuously plugged in. Despite the low reading, the device remained fully functional — I could use apps, navigate, and perform tasks normally. However, the battery indicator never rose above 1%, and the Battery Health section in Settings showed 0% Maximum Capacity, which is inaccurate. I did not allow the phone to fully discharge, out of fear that it might not turn back on. Restarting the phone and changing cables or chargers had no effect. After restoring the device to iOS 18.7.2 using DFU mode, the issue disappeared entirely — the battery percentage behaved normally again and the health section showed the correct value (about 100%). Observed behavior: • Battery percentage frozen at 1% • Maximum Capacity reported as 0% • Device only functional while connected to power • Issue resolved immediately after restoring to iOS 18 Temporary solution: A DFU restore to iOS 18 (18.5 22F76) immediately resolved the issue. The battery percentage and health readings returned to normal. Additional information: • Charger used: Official Apple 20W USB-C charger • Cable used: Apple USB-C to Lightning cable • Battery health after restore: 100% (replaced)

After IOS 26 beta 2 installation in my iphone 13, I can't do a screenshot using assistivetouch nor touch on back.

For example: I have a list of to-dos, each with a unique id (a GUID). I want to feed them to the LLM model and have the model rewrite the items so they start with an action verb. I'd like to get them back and identify which rewritten item corresponds to which original item. I obviously can't compare the text, as it has changed. I've tried passing the original GUIDs in with each to-do, but the extra GUID characters pollutes the input and confuses the model. I've tried numbering them in order and adding an originalSortOrder field to my generable type, but it doesn't work reliably. Any suggestions? I could do them one at a time, but I also have a use case where I'm asking for them to be organized in sections, and while I've instructed the model not to rename anything, it still happens. It's just all very nondeterministic.

This is my first post, so please forgive me if it is to the wrong area. I've been using Tahoe for a few days and, overall, it's very stable. But the one thing that has bothered me to no end is Safari's new behavior with respect to its header (Address bar, Favorite bookmarks bar, tab bar) background color. The web content of the active tab seems to affect everything - and oftentimes makes things completely unreadable - at least in "Dark" mode. For instance, if a web page uses a white background, the Favorites bookmark labels are the same color as the bookmark background, so reading the labels is simply impossible. At other times, they're just very difficult to read. Similarly, it is almost always impossible to tell which tab is the active one - my only workaround is to try 100% brightness....or to just guess. When Apple previously experimented with letting content bleed through to the top, there was a setting for stopping it - but I don't see such a setting anymore. Do you you know of any way to stop this effect?

Hi, I'm trying to create a custom bottom toolbar for my app and want to use same fade-blur effect as iOS uses under navigation and tab bars. Having trouble doing that. Here is what I tried: Screenshot 1: putting my custom view in a toolbar/ToolBarItem(placement: .bottomBar). This works only in NavigationStack, and it adds a glass pane that I do not want (I want to put a custom component there that already has correct glass pane) Screenshot 2: using safeAreaBar or safeAreaInset in any combination with NavigationStack and/or .scrollEdgeEffectStyle(.soft, for: .bottom). Shows my component correctly, but does not use fade-blur. Can you please help me to find out the correct way of doing that? Thanks! ^ Screenshot 1 ^ Screenshot 2 Test code: struct ContentView2: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { ScrollView(.vertical) { VStack { Color.red.frame(height: 500) Color.green.frame(height: 500) } } .ignoresSafeArea() .toolbar() { ToolbarItem(placement: .bottomBar) { HStack { Text("bottom") Spacer() Text("text content") } .bold().padding() .glassEffect().padding(.horizontal) } } } } }

I've got the initial WWDC beta of macOS 26 (25A5279m) installed inside a virtual machine (UTM), but can't seem to update to the second beta. Nothing is showing up within Software Update. Is this because it's within a VM, or am I doing something wrong? It'd be a real pain to have to install a new VM afresh with the RestoreImage for every update.

Why is "generate comment" button grayed out? I'm running macOS Tahoe Beta 2, Xcode 26 Beta 2 Apple intelligence on both system preferences as well as Xcode are enabled Created fresh Xcode project to test it (happens on my older project too) Xcode Preferences -> Editing -> Automatically generate string catalog comments (tried with ON/OFF) Tried to CMD+B to re-index project Not sure what else to try.

I can see that iOS beta 2 was released yesterday. I'm not running the beta yet on my actual iPhone, but I wanted to see if an issue I reported in beta 1 was fixed. Is there a way to update my iOS 26 simulator for beta 2? Usually, there's a new Xcode download that includes the new simulator, but it looks like the most recent Xcode beta release was June 9.

Updated iPhone to 26 beta 2, everything is ok but battery, battery is changed, not original. My phone can't charge higher than 1% and turns off every 5 minutes, even connecting to wireless charger and cable at the same time don't work, restored iPhone thru iTunes.I hope I will be able to install new beta without any problems because loving the new design, hoping for the best. Thanks. My FB-FB18327769

I'm trying to update to BETA 2 but my mac mini does not see the update and keeps telling me that my machine is up to date. How do I get the latest BETA 2?

I have a toolbar in SwiftUI where two of the buttons are Menus. When I tap on the button the menu animates out into the correct position and then it flys to the top of the screen. When I tap on the menu button I get this. Then within 1 second the menu flys to the top of the screen and looks like this. My toolbar code looks like this. .toolbar { ToolbarItemGroup(placement: .bottomBar) { Menu { Button { markMyLocation() } label: { Label("Mark My Location", systemImage: "location") } ... (MORE BUTTONS) } label: { Image(systemName: "plus") } .menuOrder(.fixed) Spacer() Menu { Button { shareWithWebLink() } label: { Label("Share Map", systemImage: "square.and.arrow.up") } ... (MORE BUTTONS) } label: { Image(systemName: "square.and.arrow.up") } .menuOrder(.fixed) Button { presentHikeView() } label: { Image(systemName: "figure.hiking") } Button { presentMapsView() } label: { Image(systemName: "map") } Spacer() Button { search() } label: { Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass") } } }
