Hello Apple Developer Team,

I am trying to create a new post on the Apple Developer Forums using my iPhone. I can enter the title and description, but I am having difficulty completing the form and submitting it.

The issue includes:

The keyboard covers part of the page.
I am unable to easily select the Topic and Subtopic.
The page is difficult to navigate while typing.
I am unsure if this is a Safari issue or a problem with the Developer Forum.

Device: iPhone 16 Browser: Safari iOS Version: (Enter your iOS version)

Could you please advise how to resolve this issue?

Thank you.

Welcome to the forum.

Accessing the forum on iPhone is a poor experience.

So, I publish on forum only from a Mac…

On your issues:

Unable to Complete Apple Developer Forum Post on iPhone Safari

Are you unable to publish or is it difficult (was your post written on iPhone ?)

The keyboard covers part of the page.

That's true in landscape, less a problem in Portrait

I am unable to easily select the Topic and Subtopic.

What is precisely the problem ? I have no issue there

The page is difficult to navigate while typing.

Because of screen size probably ?

I am unsure if this is a Safari issue or a problem with the Developer Forum.

No, I think it is mainly due to screen size.

I am unsure if this is a Safari issue or a problem with the Developer Forum.

Forums is expected to work on mobile devices, and especially in Safari on iPhone. If that’s not working, I encourage you to file a bug about it.

Please post your bug number, just for the record.

Speaking personally, I’m like Claude31 in that I do all my work on the Mac, so I don’t have a lot of direct experience with this. However, I tried this out today and it worked reasonably well for me. For example, when creating a post I had no problems selected the topic and subtopic.

I’m on an iPhone 13 mini (mini forever!) running 26.5.2.

So, if you do file a bug about this, I encourage you to be specific about the issues you hit. In cases like this it’s always a good idea to include screenshots, screen recordings, and so on.

Share and Enjoy
