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!

Under Xcode 26 beta 3 I'm trying to build a project which uses Metal. I've installed the Metal Toolchain 26.0 under Settings -> Components, but when I start a build it fails during the "Prepare build" step with the following error (repeated many times): stat(/var/run/com.apple.security.cryptexd/mnt/com.apple.MobileAsset.MetalToolchain-v17.1.5276.7.Pb9SLL/Metal.xctoolchain/usr/bin/clang): No such file or directory (2) I've confirmed that there is in fact no 'clang' binary in that directory. I've tried using xcode-select to set the Xcode 26 Beta app as the active developer directory, and xcodebuild -version shows: Xcode 26.0 Build version 17A5276g Any ideas on other things to try?

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?

I need more time to adapt to the new iOS 26 UI, so I set the "UIDesignRequiresCompatibility" attribute to "Yes." This works, but now all large titles are not aligned with the content. Below you can see an example, but I have the issue with all large titles. All good on iOS 18. Does anyone have an idea why and how can i fix it?

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

I have updated the packages to 11.9.0 (lasted) and Xcode 16 to 16 RC (lasted also) and I would like to know how to fix this... With Xcode 15 I have no problem !! I can export with no warnings ! But now with Xcode 16 no... Thanks for helping !

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!

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 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?

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

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..

Hi 🙋 Has anybody gotten subtitles in macOS Tahoe Control Widgets to show up in their custom control widgets? Seems macOS is able to do it (see attached screenshot of the Bluetooth control widget), but my widget, which shows a title and subtitle on iOS, will only show the title on macOS. I tried all the different ControlWidgetButton init methods to no avail. I tried a VStack for my title and subtitle Texts, I tried just two Texts without a VStack, I tried the controlWidgetStatus and controlWidgetActionHint modifiers out of desperation... nothing worked. Any pointers much appreciated! Thank you, – Matthias

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)

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.

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.

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(...) ?
