I have been experimenting with the BGContinuedProcessingTask API recently (and published sample code for it https://github.com/infinitepower18/BGContinuedProcessingTaskDemo) I have noticed that if I lock the phone, the code that runs as part of the task stops executing. My sample code simply updates the progress each second until it gets to 100, so it should be completed in 1 minute 40 seconds. However, after locking the phone and checking the lock screen a few seconds later the progress indicator was in the same position as before I locked it. If I leave the phone locked for several minutes and check the lock screen the live activity says "Task failed". I haven't seen anything in the documentation regarding execution of tasks while the phone is locked. So I'm a bit confused if I encountered an iOS bug here?

How can we receive the iPadOS 18.6.1 update on an iPad? We have configured the MDM update days policy to receive recent, but not the latest, iPadOS updates; however, we are only able to get versions 18.6.2 and 18.6. Is the availability of iPadOS updates dependent on the iPad's region? Thank you in advance for your assistance.

There are multiple report of crashes on URLConnectionLoader::loadWithWhatToDo. The crashed thread in the stack traces pointing to calls inside CFNetwork which seems to be internal library in iOS. The crash has happened quite a while already (but we cannot detect when the crash started to occur) and impacted multiple iOS versions recorded from iOS 15.4 to 18.4.1 that was recorded in Xcode crash report organizer so far. Unfortunately, we have no idea on how to reproduce it yet but the crash keeps on increasing and affect more on iOS 18 users (which makes sense because many people updated their iOS to the newer version) and we haven’t found any clue on what actually happened and how to fix it on the crash reports. What we understand is it seems to come from a network request that happened to trigger the crash but we need more information on what (condition) actually cause it and how to solve it. Hereby, I attach sample crash report for both iOS 15 and 18. I also have submitted a report (that include more crash reports) with number: FB17775979. Will appreciate any insight regarding this issue and any resolution that we can do to avoid it. iOS 15.crash iOS 18.crash

I archived the app via Xcode for App Store Connect. When I upload this build to iPhone via TestFlight everything works fine, but when I send it to Apple they get a black screen. Please tell me what the problem is

Hello, It seems Xcode 26 beta is lagging the OS releases, which is fine. However, how does one install a Beta N + 1 or N + 2 SDK into the older Xcode beta? I'd like to use iOS 26 Beta 8 from the Xcode 26 Beta 6 install I have. I have tried Settings/Components and Devices & Simulators but nothing Beta 7 nor 8 shows up there. Thanks! -- Greg Bolsinga

Hello, Im having an issue seeing my application appear in in testflight. as soon as i run the command eas submit - p ios --latest it completes and says Your binary has been successfully uploaded to App Store Connect! It is now being processed by Apple - you will receive an email when the processing finishes. It usually takes about 5-10 minutes depending on how busy Apple servers are. When it's done, you can see your build here: the app sometimes flashes on the screen in testflight then is gone forever This is an expo react native application.... I was able to submit builds but all of a sudden this started occuring.

Hi Is there a way to create a dynamic app clip card experience? I have advanced app clip experiences set up and working fine already and but I am looking to provider a more dynamic experience. For example, my invocation url now is https://mycompany.com/profile/<profile_slug>, this URL shows the app clip card with the title, subheading, and cover image as configured in app store connect which is right. But I would like to show a different title, subheading, and cover image based on the <profile_slug> in the invocation URL. Like we can show the name as the title, job title as the subheading, and profile's banner image as the cover image for the app clip It seems like this is possible as I have seen one company do this for their product. Apple has no mention for such a thing in their documentation from what I have seen. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I've been trying to understand what kind of UX is available if my app is using the default-dialer capability. I have found https://developer.apple.com/documentation/livecommunicationkit/preparing-your-app-to-be-the-default-dialer-app and I am in the EU. On android I built the UX I want and it's quite neat, so now I'm trying to work. out what I can get on iOS. Because the product is kind of worthless with just android. I have built a simple dialer ux with a numberpad, contact lookup etc. Then when the user presses the Call button does it have to pop up the system prompt "Call number"? Does it have to swap over to the system ui for the actual call? So there's no way to show information about the call, during the call? Or am I using the frameworks incorrectly? I am very new to iOS development. TrueCaller and others show validation, but as I understand it they pre-fetch all the data, I can't do that.

Call blocking using a third-party CallKit app is not longer working with the latest iOS 26 Public Beta (23A5297m). We've tried several different Call Blocking apps (that used to work fine on iOS 18.5) and their call blocking functionality is not working anymore. All calls pass through and the phone rings on those "blocked" numbers. We got several user complaints about our app that is not working on iOS 26 Public Beta. We've filed 2 bug reports with Feedback Assistant: FB19140680 FB19140594 Please fix this issue in the next Beta versions of iOS 26 to have a stable iOS 26 release in the future. Thank you in advance.

For call reported in lockscreen, after updating the CXCallUpdate for an active callkit reported call with reportCallWithUUID:updated:. The display namer in the callkit UI is not getting updated. This issue exists from iOS 18 and later. Issue is always seen. Feedback updated with iOS 26 beta logs: FB13969440

An app with a UIToolbar pinned to the bottom of a view controllers view extends to the screen edge (behind the safe area) when run on iOS 18.X but not iOS 26. This UIToolbar is set as constrained to the safeAreaLayoutGuide with the following constraints. self.view.addConstraints([ bottomToolbar.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.leadingAnchor), bottomToolbar.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.trailingAnchor), bottomToolbar.bottomAnchor.constraint(equalTo: self.view.safeAreaLayoutGuide.bottomAnchor), bottomToolbar.heightAnchor.constraint(greaterThanOrEqualToConstant: 44.0) ]) This is especially noticeable when the UIToolbar background color differs from the view background color. This occurs on iOS 26 beta 6, app built with Xcode 26 beta 5. I've posted a Feedback FB19664903 including a minimal Xcode workspace that reproduces this issue. Anyone suggestions would be appreciated ... this definitely seems like a regression.

Hello, I am new to App development, so I am looking for some advice. I want to develop an app for iPhone, which downloads files (pdf, jpg)from a server to the local storage. I also want to get data from the server to be used in my app. This could be a database access or just simple xml files. I want a secure access based on userid and password. Since in a later version, my app should also run on Android Phones, I am reluctant to use iCloud. I was thinking sftp, but that does not seem to be supported for iOS.

Hi all, Recently, I received feedback from users that the cell of UITableView will be enlarged when clicked on the iOS26 system. After positioning, it was found that the iOS26 system has reset the frame of the contentView so that its width is always the screen width. The following Demo can reproduce this problem. Does anyone have this problem? Is there a solution? Thanks Run and click on the cell to see the problem http://www.yangshuang.net/TestProject.zip

An iOS app has a UINavigationController with a UINavigationBar that is non-translucent (e.g. black). When performing a push (or pop) to navigate to or from another UIViewController the UIBarButtonItems on the navigation bar are flashing a white background. With a dark navigation bar this is very noticeable and not desirable. This only occurs when run on iOS 26 and is related to Liquid Glass I've created FB19660024 with a minimal Xcode workspace to reproduce, along with a video showing the behavior. This is a cosmetic bug, not affecting functionality, but is a very undesirable effect on apps with dark and non-translucent navigation bars. Has anyone else seen this and found a workaround?

After updating from iOS 18 to iOS 26, our app icon appears to have automatically received the new 'Liquid Glass' effect. We confirmed that this change occurred without us releasing a new app update. My questions are: Is this a system behavior where iOS 26 automatically applies the new icon style to existing apps? If so, is it possible for a developer to control or customize this effect? I am also wondering if there are any methods other than using Icon Composer.

An issue with the CallKit UI, specifically regarding the functionality of the speaker button. When a user initiates a video call with CallKit and then, using the existing CallKit session, initiates an audio call, there are no issues with CallKit or the audio. However, if the user terminates the video call from the CallKit UI, the active CallKit session ends. To resume the ongoing audio call, we report a new CallKit call upon the end call trigger. While there are no issues with this reporting, the CallKit UI does not provide an audio route for the built-in receiver, and the speaker button remains unresponsive. IPA was build on SDK 18 and running on iOS beta 26. Issue is NOT seen with SDK18 and running iOS 18.x or lower devices. Feedback - FB18855566

The default style for a segmented picker in iOS 26 is now a capsule shape. Is it possible to get back the previous rounded rectangle shape? In SwiftUI I have tried using the clipShape, containerShape, and background modifiers, applying a RoundedRectangle shape with a corner radius, to no avail. In UIKit I have tried to adjust the corner configuration for the UISegmentedControl, also to no avail. Am I missing something really obvious or is it impossible to change the style here? 🤔

In the iOS 26 developer preview, I noticed that the new Liquid Glass style only applies when the user’s home screen theme is set to transparent. Is it possible to allow users to directly set the new Liquid Glass style for widgets, instead of having it tied to the home screen theme setting?

Hi, is it me or latest beta has pronlem with brightness? i have iPhone 16 pro, and now i must keep disabled auto brightness , at keep slider more or less at maximum, in order to clearly see the screen. fabrizio

In iOS 18 betas, the App Store search bar has been moved to the bottom of the screen. This breaks years of usability and is inconsistent with Apple’s own apps—Calendar, Reminders, Maps, Safari, Files, Wallet, and Shortcuts—all of which keep search at the top. I (and many others) hold the phone in one hand and tap with the other. Top placement is faster, more natural, and aligns with established Apple design. The “thumb reach” argument does not fit real-world usage for a large portion of users. What I want is consistency across all Apple apps: put the search bar at the top everywhere. Apple already made this mistake with Safari’s bottom address bar in iOS 15 and had to add a toggle after backlash. Please don’t repeat history. Feedback ID: FB19598638 If you agree, please follow your own feedback and reference this thread. The more reports Apple sees, the more likely this gets fixed.
