Apple Intelligence stuck at 100% on macOS 26 Beta 1
Hello, I'm unable to develop for Apple Intelligence on my Mac Studio, M1 Max running macOS 26 beta 1. The models get downloaded and I can also verify that they exist in /System/Library/AssetsV2/ however the download progress remains stuck at 100%. Checking console logs shows the process generativeexperiencesd reporting the following: My device region and language is set to English (India). Things I've already tried: Changing language and region to English (US) Reinstalling macOS Trying with a different ISP via hotspot.

iOS beta 26 simulators will not in "Apple could not verify"
Apple could not verify “iPad_Air_M2_26.0_23A5260n_Restore.ipsw” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy. xCode 26 fails to download simulators. I downloaded from the apple developer site. When I double click I get the above message. I went to the System Settings > GateKeeper, and selected Open Anyway. This poped up a window with a button, Open in xCode-bata. Clicking the button does not appear to do anything. I can not use xcode without simulators.

Xcode 26 beta: 'Building the menu bar using a storyboard is no longer supported for iOS and Mac Catalyst apps. Please migrate to the UIMenuBuilder or Commands APIs.'
Support for menus in Storyboards is yanked without ever being deprecated (to my knowledge)? Really? WTF? This is a major step backwards, Apple. So nice to have to spend a month rewriting my app after WWDC each year. Re-creating a complex menu hierarchy in code is exactly what I wanted to do. Ugh.

Detect when tab bar minimizes (.tabBarMinimizeBehavior)
Hi! I'm working on a iOS 26 SwiftUI prototype that adds an element to the content of a screen only when the tab bar is fully visible and not minimized (via .tabBarMinimizeBehavior). Is there any way to detect when a tab bar is minimized? My hope is that I can use a ternary operator to display something only when a boolean is true. Here's some code to illustrate my idea: struct ContentView: View { @State var isTabBarMinimized: Bool = false var body: some View { TabView { Tab("View1", systemImage: "rainbow") { // Only appears when tab bar is fully visible Color.blue .opacity(isTabBarMinimized? 0 : 1 ) } Tab("View2", systemImage: "rainbow") { View2() } Tab("View3", systemImage: "rainbow") { View3() } Tab("View4", systemImage: "rainbow") { View4() } } .tabBarMinimizeBehavior(.onScrollDown) } }

macOS 26 beta: No Fast User Switching?
I have installed the macOS 26 WWDC beta on a secondary volume, and set it up with two user accounts (both administrators). However, the options for switching users without fully logging out are nowhere to be found. The topic is still included in macOS Help and is shown when searching for “fast” in System Settings, however, the option is hidden/missing in the pref pane when selected.

IOS 26 Camera and External Storage
Hi All, I searched for this feedback but didn't see it, so apologies if this has been covered by another thread. Exploring the new camera app, It doesn't seem to recognize that external storage has been connected, so the additional features that allow ProRes high frame rates will throw an error dialog stating that "to use this you need external storage" even when external storage is connected. Using the Files app, the phone recognizes the storage, and this is something I can do with this external storage device on the previous version of IOS. It is clear that this release of the camera has been rewritten significantly since the last version. Is it possible that this is an oversight, a bug, or just functionality that has not been completed? Interested if anybody else is seeing this, or if it is just my setup.

Old style tab bar
I am maintaining an enterprise iOS app that does a lot of customization to the tab bar's colors based on the organization signed into the app. Is there a way to revert back to the old style full bottom tab bar rather than the new iOS 26 floating version? I know last year in iPad OS you could force the bottom tab using traitOverrides, but I'm not seeing a similar option for this. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

Apple Music fullscreen artist not showing
In Apple Music I opened fullscreen for a song and I accidentally clicked some keys and the name and artist name of the song I was playing disappeared, and I can't figure out how to get it back, it temporarily comes back when I hover over the top bar but I can not get it to stay there permanently.

Cannot see Beta Update option for Developer Beta (no matter the device platform)
Apple Developer Support stated that they don’t have any technical support for this and suggested posting in the Forums or Feedback Assistant app. Hoping someone here may have encountered this before and maybe has a fix. On any of my devices (macOS, visionos, watchOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and iOS) Beta Update will not show Developer Beta as an option for my Apple Account/ID. The only option would be Public Beta. As visionOS is only available for Developer Beta, this wouldn’t help with my workflow unfortunately. My question is whether anyone here has seen that Developer Beta did not show up under Beta Update and what they had to do to get that fixed.

How to report Xcode 26 / iOS 26 bugs with Feedback Assistant?
I'm running macOS 15.5. I now have Xcode 26 and I'm testing my iOS app against iOS 26. I've encountered several UIKit / iOS 26 bugs I'd like to report. In Feedback Assistant I choose "Developer Technologies & SDKs". Eventually I get asked "What build does the issue occur on?". The list of choices is: iOS 18.2 Seed 4 iOS 18.1.1 iOS 17.7.2 An earlier iOS build I'm not sure So how to I report this as an iOS 26 beta 1 issue?

Xcode 16.4 on macOS Tahoe 26
I’m currently using the stable release of Xcode 16.4, and I’m considering installing macOS beta 26. Before I upgrade, I’d like to know: 👉 Is it generally possible to use Xcode 16.4 with macOS Tahoe beta? My goal is to continue building and submitting apps to the App Store using the non-beta Xcode version. I understand that Apple only officially supports each stable Xcode with the current public macOS release, but in practice, has anyone run into issues doing this? This would not be my primary development Mac, but I’d still like to be able to compile and test code on the machine running the macOS beta. I’d appreciate any experiences or official guidance — especially regarding app signing, archiving, or compatibility with Xcode Cloud. Thanks in advance!

iOS 26/MacOS 26 - PWA App Icons: Dark,Clear,Tinted Appearance
Hi everyone, I'm exploring the new app icon appearance options (Clear, Dark, Tinted) for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) on iOS26, iPadOS26, and macOS26. Currently, PWA icons don't seem to render well with these new appearances, particularly in Clear and Tinted modes, resulting in very very poor visual quality. You can hardly see anything. Has support for these icon appearances been fully implemented for PWAs? If so, could someone point me to the relevant Apple Developer documentation or provide guidance on how to configure PWA icons to support Clear, Dark, and Tinted appearances? I've searched the Apple Developer Forums, Stack Overflow, and Reddit but haven't found clear information on this topic.A possible solution is a png file with transparent areas, but if the pattern is dark, nothing will be visible in dark mode. Any insights or resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! (plz don't give up on PWA😭) Reference: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/761615 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/78780916/is-there-a-way-to-provide-light-dark-and-tinted-variants-of-apple-touch-icon https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/ConfiguringWebApplications/ConfiguringWebApplications.html

macOS 26 beta: Natural Scrolling (disable) option removed from System Settings?
I installed the WWDC beta on UTM and I'm unable to find the option to disable the so-called "Natural Scrolling". Has this been removed and if so, can we get it put back? I use a mouse with scroll wheel and everything is going opposite the direction I expect in the macOS 26 VM.
