I’ve had the beta and been signed up since October 23rd. Still sitting on early access requested. It’s a 16PM. My son has my old 15PM he downloaded the 18.2 beta 4 days ago and requested access and he already has it. So is it a lottery system or only certain phone models at a given time? Anyone else have the same issue? Thanks in advance, Jeremy

When the text is set to non-accentable, it always appears white. The background is accentable, but when the user changes the tint color to white, the text becomes invisible. How can I make it work like in the Shortcuts widget, where the text color automatically changes based on the tint of the background, ensuring the text is always visible?

Hello, I have a problem reading a 2D data matrix type code with a camera. In the application, I use AVFoundation to operate the camera and work with 2D codes, and in the vast majority there is no problem with loading. Nothing special. I originally thought it might be a problem in my code, but I got the same result when I tried with the Camera app integrated in IOS. It can be seen that only the LiveText API for text recognition worked. But I am attaching the code with which the camera has a problem, even though the code looks perfectly fine at first glance. A classic handheld 2D code reader will read the code just fine. Can someone please explain to me why the camera, which normally reads these codes at the speed of light, sometimes has a problem with the codes? Thank you [Personal Information Edited by Moderator]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to find out if there's a way to mock Screen Time for a specific app (either on a real device or in a simulator). Specifically, I need to set the usage time of an app to something like 15 minutes. I'm not looking to alter the total Screen Time, just the usage time for a single app. Currently, I'm manually keeping the app open for 15 minutes before I can start testing to see if the desired behavior occurs, but this process is slow and frustrating. Unfortunately, I can't reduce the 15-minute threshold, as Apple doesn't allow it for this particular use case. Any advice or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

Exact same issues on my old leather MagSafe wallet, so I brought a new one from the Apple Store ‘blackberry’ colour. Yep that’s a word we don’t hear often in tech anymore. Anyway, I’ve reported it in all versions of iOS 18.1 when in beta and they still exist in iOS 18.2 beta 1. I’ve removed them, restarted phone to no avail unfortunately.

When I try to delete an iPhone 16 Pro iOS 18.1 Simulator in XCode 16.1, I get an error message "“data” couldn’t be moved because you don’t have permission to access “Deleting-8366D3CC-37EC-49C0-8674-0599BCE1DA12”.". I had that same issue with iOS 18.0 Simulator but never with previous versions (17.5). Note that I'm stuck using the iOS 18.1 Simulator because iCloud synchronization is paused (potentially due to low data mode). And I cannot use iOS 18.0 Simulator as well because unit tests run hangs for some other mysterious reason. The fallback to iOS 17.5 Simulator is not satisfactory.

I have been working on a mobile app that I would like to upload on Apple console - pre order. The criteria for this is pretty much unclear. My team wants to use this pre order link for marketing, now I would like to know if I can publish a unfinished app on pre order to use it as marketing and then upload the completed app once we want to go live. Please explain what should be the criteria, also can the app be uploaded it we only have the completed front-end

Hi Team, We have noticed a behavioral change in iOS 18 related to SCEP profile downloads from the browser. In current flow, we are using Cisco ISE as SCEP server. While testing in iOS 18, we have observed that before communicating to SCEP server iOS is asking to download the SCEP server certificate. This differs from iOS 17.4, where the communication happens seamlessly without any new prompts. Could you please confirm if this certificate download popup behavior is expected in iOS 18? Additionally, we would appreciate any guidance on whether this change in likely to persist in future updates, as it impacts our user flow. Please let us know where we can attach video recordings of previous and current processes. Thanks

iPhone mirroring is available from macOS 15. When running an app with iPhone mirroring Can I know whether the app currently being mirrored is running at the top of the Mac app or screen? Or is there a way to know whether it is hidden by another app on the Mac or re-displayed? If not, I hope it will be added in a future update. And I hope there is an API that can tell whether the current app is connected to iPhone mirroring or not.

I have noticed that my iPhone keeps jerking. I notice this juddering especially when the iPhone has been in my pocket and the always on display is not switched off. Normally, the always on display is switched off by the proximity sensor. Sometimes it doesn't recognize this and the display in the pocket stays on. When I then unlock my iPhone and swipe across the home screen, it happens more and more often that it doesn't recognize my input and the display starts to jerk. It actually looks as if the refresh rate of the display has been reduced to 60 Hz or less. Instead of the actual 120 Hz. In addition, accurate input is not really possible. The iPhone sometimes does not recognize any input and generally does not behave like a pro model. I have tried all types of resets and none of them offer a permanent solution. Resetting by “pressing and releasing the volume up button, pressing and releasing the volume down button and then holding the power button until the Apple logo appears” sometimes helps less than switching off in general. I am currently on iOS 18.2 Developer Beta

Good afternoon The essence of the question: our product is written in .net maui (a framework for cross-platform development from microsoft), when we use the profile for development in the build and directly install the application on the iPhone, everything works fine. But if you take the same build with the same settings, replace the development profile with the distribution profile, assemble and send it to TestFlight, install it on the same iPhone - when the application is launched, a crash occurs. Yes, we studied the logs, and at the moment we have come to the theory that maybe the main problem lies inside the maui framework, but still - why will the behavior of the application change so much when using different profiles? From full functionality when using the development profile, to crash at the start when using the distribution profile. What exactly changes when you change your profile? Is there any documentation on this topic? Or advice from those who are more knowledgeable about this topic? Thanks in advance for any reply

Hey, when I try to run my project on an iOS Simulator, I get the following message: JournalingSuggestions is not available when building for iOS Simulator. and Linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) Steps to reproduce this behavior: Create a new Xcode project Add the Journaling Suggestions Capability Add the Journaling Suggestions Framework Under "Target > Build Phases > Link Binary with Libraries", select “optional“ for JournalingSuggestions.framework Under "Target > Build Settings > Other Linker Flags > Debug" select „Plus“ and add „iOS or iOS Simulator“ and paste this -Xlinker -weak_framework -Xlinker JournalingSuggestions into the editable field. Do the same for "Target > Build Settings > Other Linker Flags > Release" This tread is about the same problem, but is already checked as answered. That's why I'm creating this new tread. The last two bullet points are results from advice from the other thread. MacBook Air, M1, 2020, macOS: 14.6.1, Xcode: 16.0 Thanks for your help!

After upgrading to mac os 15.1 my Xcode has been complaining about iOS 18.1 that is missing. No matter what I do I cannot get it installed, I ended up clearing all caches, re-installing Xcode but that also failed. Downgrading to 16.0 or upgrading to 16.2 beta has the same issue. Currently I cannot create any simulator or install any version of the iOS platform. Xcode would say it's installing but the runtime would not show up in the list. I have tried adding runtimes using xcrun simctl and also other methods indicated here. Another colleague of mine that updated to OSX 15.1 also has the same issue so this doesn't seem like a isolated problem. In the screenshots below you'll see 18.1 is installed but does not show up as an installed runtime.

Ever since I updated the 18.1 I have noticed on both the Uber Driver app and Lyft Driver app that the banner notifications are on a three second delay when a ride notification comes in. These banner notifications have previously shown up immediately when a ride comes in and now it’s anywhere from 3 to 5 seconds before you see them.

Hi! I am trying to test an app developed in Xcode 16.1 on an iPhone 7 running iOS 15.8.3. My MacOS is 15.0.1 (Sequoia). But I am getting "iPhone is busy" no matter what I do. And yes - Finder can see the iPhone 7 and show information about it. I have followed a lot of advice that is supposed to solve this, for instance here: https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/692230 And here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46316373/fixing-xcode-9-issue-iphone-is-busy-preparing-debugger-support-for-iphone/48238062 But nothing works. Actually it's getting worse... At one point it said "100% complete", although it was still "busy". But now I don't even get to the "100% complete" message... (After 30 minutes.) So my conclusion is that it's impossible to use an iPhone 7 running iOS 15.8.3 to test an app developed in Xcode 16.1 on MacOS 15.0.1. Am I right? In that case: Which iPhone models and iOS versions can be used instead?

Hi, I have logged into an iCloud account on an iOS device simulator on my Mac to sync photos in order to test my app. The photos app is telling me syncing is paused as the device is in low power mode, but as this is a simulator, there's no network seatings to change this and I can't find out why it's in this mode or how to get it out. I've done exactly the same thing for years with no issues, but for some reason it's happening now. Has anyone else experienced the same? The simulator device is an iPhone 13 Pro Max running 15.5 however I've tested on other device and experienced the same issue. Many thanks, Dan

I have apple intelligence working fine with all the features on my iPhone 16 pro max. except for the summary feature and email summarizing, they don't work unless I turn on VPN on. why is that ? I am not living in the EU. and all the features of AI are working except for this one it won't work unless I have my vpn on. can anyone help me with this.

My iPhone 15 Pro is from Hong Kong (China). I am outside of China and Asia in general. I have never been to China myself and the iPhone was activated in another country. And it is not the EU. My iPhone's language, Siri and region settings are changed to US English. Updated to iOS 18.1 RC. But Apple Intelligence doesn't show up in the Siri settings.

I was on iOS 18.1 beta 6 on my iPhone 14 Pro Max when my iPhone 16 Pro Max arrived. I took it out of the box and started to set it up as usual. I scanned the moving blue circle with my camera and began setting up the device. When I reached the software update screen, it was going to update to iOS 18.0.1. The phone restarted, and everything seemed normal. However, it brought me back to another update screen, asking me to go through the same setup steps again, which I found odd. This time, the update was for iOS 18.1 beta 7. After the update, the device restarted and appeared to be good to go, but it wasn’t. It wouldn’t go past the lock screen and kept respringing when I held down the power button to turn it off. I tried to restore the device from my computer using Apple devices, and it began to restore. The Apple logo appeared on the black screen with a loading bar, but it got stuck at about 15%. It remained like that for over an hour while plugged in. I hard restarted the device, following Apple Support’s directions, and the device became corrupted, stuck on the restore screen. I attempted to restore it again from my computer, but it only gave error codes and once again stalled at 15% of the loading bar. The error and videos and images are linked below one error is not in pictures but it was unexpected error 3503 could not complete update and restore. Betas are Apple Original, they are developer betas as I have a developer account.

I’ve been stuck for 40 days . Any ideas, guys?”
