our company created a web safari extension. before iOS 26 (beta) release we would archive our extension and install to our devices no problem. since iOS 26 (beta) (we also tried in beta 4 23A5297m) the extension would archive perfectly but when installing the extension would just not run. its found in settings under safari extension, but when enabled the extension and open safari it will show error message "Ext" is no longer available. to rule out all code issues, we built a new project from scratch with a new bundle id, tried to archive with no problem, but when installed in an iphone 16 with iOS 26 BETA (23A5297m) same error ocurs it installs but when opening safari it will give an error message saying extension is no longer available. attached in the google drive link is a zip file of the new project, a zip file with a succesfull build of the ipa file with enterprise distribute, a video of the entire proccess and the error that the iphone gives. also attached a log file from the iphone that includes the install and the crash of the app. within the logs there is a log saying Error occurred during transaction: The provided identifier "dev.sacal.ext" is invalid. before ios 26 the exact steps worked perfectly. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PYDOv8IRvRY_ouqiOc0sJdcfh0CHbL72/view?usp=sharing

When trying to use a UISearchController setup with a UISearchBar that has scope buttons, the search controller's scopeBarActivation property is set to .onSearchActivation, the navigation item's preferredSearchBarPlacement property is set to .integrated. or .integratedButton, and the search bar/button appears in the navigation bar, then the scope buttons never appear. But space is made for where they should appear. Some relevant code in a UIViewController shown as the root view controller of a UINavigationController: private func setupSearch() { let sc = UISearchController(searchResultsController: UIViewController()) sc.delegate = self sc.obscuresBackgroundDuringPresentation = true // Setup search bar with scope buttons let bar = sc.searchBar bar.scopeButtonTitles = [ "One", "Two", "Three", "Four" ] bar.selectedScopeButtonIndex = 0 bar.delegate = self // Apply the search controller to the nav bar navigationItem.searchController = sc // BUG - Under iOS/iPadOS 26 RC, using .onSearchActivation results in the scope buttons never appearing at all // when using integrated placement in the nav bar. // Ensure the scope buttons appear immediately upon activating the search controller sc.scopeBarActivation = .onSearchActivation // This works but doesn't show the scope buttons until the user starts typing - that's too late for my needs //sc.scopeBarActivation = .automatic if #available(iOS 26.0, *) { // Under iOS 26 put the search icon in the nav bar - same issue for .integrated and .integratedButton navigationItem.preferredSearchBarPlacement = .integrated // .integratedButton // My toolbar is full so I need the search in the navigation bar navigationItem.searchBarPlacementAllowsToolbarIntegration = false // Ensure it's in the nav bar } else { // Under iOS 18 put the search bar in the nav bar below the title navigationItem.preferredSearchBarPlacement = .stacked } } I need the search bar in the navigation bar since the toolbar is full. And I need the scope buttons to appear immediately upon search activation. This problem happens on any real or simulated iPhone or iPad running iOS/iPadOS 26 RC.

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?

With ios 26 the chapter images are not updating anymore. At first I thought this is carlay related but it also occures when the phone is connected only through USB or bluetooth to play a podcast. I tried Apple podcasts and other apps like Pocketcast or audible. Same problem. The phone shows the correct chapter image while my car shows the inital image all the time. Even tried a different car :-) I checked focus and settings but found nothing related. With ios18 everything works fine. Any ideas?

Hello Apple Developer Community, We have an enterprise app that was originally developed using Xcode 10 and Objective-C. The app has been running smoothly on previous iOS versions, but with the upcoming release of iOS 26, we are concerned about potential compatibility issues due to the age of our development environment and possible deprecations in the iOS SDK. Our Situation: App Type: Internal enterprise app (distributed via Apple Developer Enterprise Program) Development Environment: Xcode 10, Objective-C Current Status: App works on iOS 18; not yet tested on iOS 26 Distribution: Not on App Store; internal use only Questions: Are there known compatibility issues for apps built with Xcode 10 and Objective-C when running on iOS 26? Are there specific deprecated APIs or changes in iOS 26 that we should be aware of? What are the recommended steps to test and validate enterprise apps on the latest iOS beta? Is it mandatory to rebuild the app using a newer version of Xcode for iOS 26 compatibility, or can we continue using our existing build if it passes testing? Any advice on best practices for enterprise app migration or update planning? Additional Info: We plan to test the app on iOS 26 beta devices soon and will share any specific issues encountered. If there are official Apple resources or documentation addressing these concerns, please point us in the right direction. Thank you in advance for your guidance!

On earlier iOS versions Live Activity displays correctly according to mode set.  Can't find an opened issue for that version: iOS 26 device: iPhone 16

When I was developing the visionOS 26beta Widget, I found that it could not work normally when the real vision OS was running, and an error would appear. Please adopt container background api It is worth mentioning that this problem does not occur on the visionOS virtual machine. Does anyone know what the reason and solution are, or whether this is a visionOS error that needs Feedback? Thank you!

I just recently updated to iOS 26 beta (23A5336a) to test an app I am developing I running an MLModel loaded from a .mlmodelc file. On the current iOS version 18.6.2 the model is running as expected with no issues. However on iOS 26 I am now getting error when trying to perform an inference to the model where I pass a camera frame into it. Below is the error I am seeing when I attempt to run an inference. at the bottom it says "Failed with status=0x1d : statusType=0x9: Program Inference error status=-1 Unable to compute the prediction using a neural network model. It can be an invalid input data or broken/unsupported model " does this indicate I need to convert my model or something? I don't understand since it runs as normal on iOS 18. Any help getting this to run again would be greatly appreciated.

I’m testing Game Activities in my Unity project with the new Apple.GameKit 2025-beta1 plugin. When I go into Xcode- Debug → GameKit → Manage Game Progress → Leaderboards → and click the generated link: If my app is already running in the background, the link opens the app and my handler (Apple.GameKit.GKGameActivity.WantsToPlay += OnWantsToPlay;) fires as expected. I can read the activity and route the player to the right level. If the app is completely closed, clicking the same link launches the app, but my OnWantsToPlay listener is never invoked. The app just boots normally and the activity intent seems lost. I’ve tried to subscribe as early as possible (in Awake() of my bootstrap scene, also tested with RuntimeInitializeOnLoadMethod(RuntimeInitializeLoadType.BeforeSplashScreen)]). Nothing works. Also, “Get Started with Game Center” video only demonstrates activation when the app already running, not a cold start from a Game Activity link. What am I missing? Environment Device/OS: iPhone on iOS 26.0 beta (Game Center sandbox) Xcode: 26.0 beta 6 Unity: 2022.3.21 Apple GameKit Unity plugin: 2025-beta1 (GameKit package) Signing: Game Center capability enabled; using development provisioning profile GameKit resources: GameCenterResources.gamekit in project (Target: Unity-iPhone), appears under Build Phases → Copy Bundle Resources

I am developing an app that uses CloudKit sharing. I recently upgraded my iPad to use 23A5336a. After that upgrade, I can no longer accept a share that is sent to me. I have rebooted the iPad and logged out of the iCloud account and logged back in. Every time I get a share link and tap it, it says: " The owner stopped sharing or your account (xxx) doesn't have permission to open it" This same code, running on the iOS26 device can share with device running iOS18. Is this a known defect? Anything I can do to help resolve this issue?

Hi Team, its been observed that, there are some Spam calls which triggers the face recognitions and disappear within few seconds, what i mean is that while you see at screen who is calling the facial recognition scans your face… i had this episodes many times..

I’m seeing what looks like a regression on iOS 26 beta where a presented view controller dismisses when a user long‑presses a button inside a table view cell and drags downward. Steps to reproduce Present a UIViewController modally. The controller contains a UITableView; each cell has a UIButton. Long‑press and hold the UIButton in any cell. While still holding, drag downward. Expected The button and/or table view handle the gesture; no interactive dismissal starts. Actual The system recognizes a pull‑to‑dismiss gesture and begins dismissing the presented controller. Notes Reproducible only on iOS 26 beta. Not observed on earlier iOS versions in my testing. Happens on both simulator and device (beta). Environment iOS: 26 beta (please see exact build)

While using Mac mini M2 Pro, with Tahoe 26 Beta 8, Apple pushed out Beta 9. Haven't have any issues before with the auto update process. This time however it rebooted as part of the normal update process and is now stuck at the flashing SOS power light. I can't even boot into the recovery menu using Command+R key press at power on. This message is intended to serve as a warning regarding Tahoe Beta 9 and a request for advice to recovermy expensive brick!

I have an app where the user can choose if the dark / light mode is enabled automatically during the night / day (dusk and dawn times are calculated according to to the date and location of the user). I also have an UITabBarController, with two tabs which have a GMSMapView (Google Map View from their SDK), and three tabs with UITableViews. I have noticed that when the automatic change of dark / light mode is performed from dark to light mode, and the user is in a tab with GMSMapView, the tabBar does not change to light model, it remains in dark mode. I perform the switch by setting the self.window.overrideUserInterfaceStyle of the UIWindow of the UIScene. All the views change to light mode, including the navigation bar, but not the tab bar. If I move between the tabs with GMSMapView, the tabBar stays in dark mode. As soon as I move to a tab which contains a UITableView, the tabBar switches to light mode. If the switch to light mode is performed while the user is in tab with the UITableViews, the tabBar switches to light mode immediately, as expected. When moving to the tabs with the GMSMapViews, the tabBar stays in light mode, also as expected. I have also noticed the same problem in CarPlay, in CPMapTemplate (with a UIViewController whose view is GMSMapView), in the buttons with are set with the property “mapButtons”, and with the panning buttons. When the switch from dark mode to light mode is performed by setting the self.window.overrideUserInterfaceStyle of the UIWindow of CarPlay scene, the mapButtons keeps the glyphs in white, and set the background of the buttons to almost white, so the glyphs are barely visible unless you put png images on them instead of SF Symbols. With the panning buttons there is not workaround, since you cannot set custom images for the panning buttons. This happens even if the panning buttons are not being displayed when the switch is performed to light mode, and you enable them later. Is this a bug? Why does this only happen with view over GMSMapView (Google Maps view for a map from their SDK)? Can you think of any viable workaround? Thank you.

so far the only issue I’m having since the update yesterday is my Bluetooth. Every time I try to use my Bluetooth headphones since the update, they either just stop working midway through playing a song or watching a video, etc., or they play a super high pitched noise that causes me to have to rip my headphones out of my ears.

I'm not sure at which beta it happened, but somewhere during the iOS 26 Public Beta releases, my iCloud Contacts have duplicated close to 100 times each. When I scroll to the bottom of the list to try and manage duplicates, it indicates I only have 2 duplicates. I should be sitting around 350 contacts and instead, I now have over 10k. Anyone else with this issue? I have filed Feedback in the app. I'm not certain if it was related to iOS 26 or iPadOS 26 as I have both, but noticed it first on my iPhone. I confirmed that the issue has affected my iCloud Contacts and therefore all of my Apple devices included older iOS and MacOS versions. Short of manually deleting all the duplicates, I'm at a loss as to how I can correct his.

I have an app that displays a MapView. While I am in light mode everything is fine. I can scroll around the map and my overlays (made by UIVisualEffectView containing an UIGlassEffect) stay light and look well! As soon as I change my phone to dark mode, depending on what's underneath the buttons (a light residential area or darker wooded areas) some of my buttons change color. But not all, only where it's supposedly lighter or darker underneath. This makes my whole UI look strange. Some buttons bright, some dark. Is there a way to lock a "color" or interfaceStyle to the effects-view? In light mode everything is fine, but in dark mode it just looks super strange.

Good morning, I have been playing with he new Networking framework released in beta, and i think its amazing how powerful and simple it is. However i have been tackling some issues with it, it seems that the NetworkListener does not allow us to configure a specific endpoint for any of the protocols, UDP, TCP (QUIC, TLS) Is this intended or just not missing features as of the Beta ? I figured out how to use bonjour to get a port (as i am brand new to using Networking on macOS and Swift) I get that the use of this is mainly as a client to connect to servers, but it would make more sense to have a high level abstraction of what already exist, wouldn't it be more intuitive to configure a NetworkEndpoint that contains either a Bonjour Service or an endpoint with configured port that we can then configure on the Listener, instead of doing .service(...) ?

Hello, In iOS 26 beta, we are seeing an unexpected behavior when using SwiftUI WebView (or a custom WKWebView via UIViewRepresentable). When an alert is presented above the WebView, the WebView immediately reloads to its initial page. The alert itself also disappears instantly, making it impossible for the user to interact with it. This issue occurs both with the new SwiftUI WebView / WebPage API and with a wrapped WKWebView. The problem was not present in previous iOS versions (iOS 17/18). Steps to reproduce: Create a SwiftUI view with a WebView (pointing to any URL). Add a toolbar button that toggles a SwiftUI alert. Run the app on iOS 26 beta. Tap the button to trigger the alert. Expected behavior: The WebView should remain as-is, and the alert should stay visible until the user dismisses it. Actual behavior: As soon as the alert appears, the WebView reloads and resets to the initial page. The alert disappears immediately. Minimal Example: struct ContentView: View { @State private var showAlert = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { WebView(URL(string: "https://apple.com")!) .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Button("Close") { showAlert = true } } } .alert("Confirm close?", isPresented: $showAlert) { Button("Cancel", role: .cancel) {} Button("Close", role: .destructive) {} } } } } I'm using Xcode Version 26.0 beta 7 Thanks for your help.
