iOS 18.1 Beta 5 bugs
I've just updated to iOS 18.1 Beta 5 update and I'm not able to see FaceTime audio/ video calls in the phone call log at all as it's like no where. And even in FaceTime there is no summary like call duration or recent calls log, just last call listed. Please resolve this issue and have FaceTime calls logs to be shown in the phone call logs as that was perfect and categorised.

Personal Voice authorization requires app restart
I'm trying to include Apple's Personal Voice feature in an app I'm working on, but I want to use a button or toggle to request access, rather than firing the request on first launch. The problem is that, if AVSpeechSynthesizer is used during the same session, before Personal Voice is authorized, the app has to be restarted to use the feature. Here is a basic example that demonstrates the issue on my iPhone (running 18.1 beta, but the issue was present at least in 18.0, maybe before): import AVFoundation import SwiftUI struct TestView: View { let synthesizer = AVSpeechSynthesizer() @State private var personalVoices: [AVSpeechSynthesisVoice] = [] var body: some View { VStack(spacing: 100) { Text("Personal Voices Available: \(personalVoices.count)") Button { speakUtterance(string: "Hello, world!") } label: { Image(systemName: "hand.wave.fill") .font(.system(size: 100)) } Button("Fetch Personal Voices") { Task { await fetchPersonalVoices() } } } } func fetchPersonalVoices() async { AVSpeechSynthesizer.requestPersonalVoiceAuthorization() { status in if status == .authorized { personalVoices = AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.speechVoices().filter { $0.voiceTraits.contains(.isPersonalVoice) } } } } func speakUtterance(string: String) { let utterance = AVSpeechUtterance(string: string) if let voice = personalVoices.first { utterance.voice = voice } else { utterance.voice = AVSpeechSynthesisVoice(language: Locale.preferredLanguages[0]) } synthesizer.speak(utterance) } } If you tap the hand symbol first (before authorizing Personal Voice), you'll probably notice that the Personal Voices Available number never increases. If you authorize Personal Voice before tapping the hand symbol, it should speak using your Personal Voice as expected. The example code is mostly taken directly from this WWDC23 video (Personal Voice info begins around the 10-minute mark). Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this? Note: Personal Voice can't be tested in Simulator. The code will need to be run on a physical device that has Personal Voice set up, to test.

Screen Capture on Mac 15 not working through SSH
Steps: Connect to Mac through ssh and execute “screencapture abc.jpg” It shows the attached popup, though we have added “ssh-keygen-wrapper” to control the computer in Privacy and Security->Accessibility and in Privacy and Security->Screen and System Audio recording in System Settings Ideally, we wouldn’t like to see this popup as we have given enough permissions to take the screenshot as mentioned above, same works fine in Mac14 and below versions Even upon clicking “Allow for one week”, new session of SSH will have this popup again.

In-app purchase: Commission and taxes
I’m writing to understand how taxes are applied to our subscription revenue and to clarify a potential issue we’re facing. For a ₹299 subscription: Apple deducts a 30% commission, leaving us with ₹209.30. After that, an additional tax of approximately 18% (₹36.11) is deducted by Apple, which reduces the amount further. When we receive this ₹173.19 in our bank, we are required to pay 18% GST again on this amount in India. This appears to result in us paying tax twice. Could you clarify why 18% tax is deducted by Apple, and if we are not required to pay it again, where can we see this adjustment on the GST portal?

Disabling New Hand Gesture Features in Vision Pro App on visionOS 2
Question: Hi everyone, I'm developing a Vision Pro app using the latest visionOS 2, and I've encountered some issues with the new hand gestures introduced in this update. My app is designed to display a UI element when a user's palm is detected. However, the new hand gestures for navigating key functions like Home View, Control Center, and adjusting the volume are interfering with my app's functionality. What I'm Trying to Achieve Detect when a user's palm is open and display a UI element. Ensure that my app's custom hand gestures are not disturbed by the new default gestures in visionOS 2. Problem The new hand gestures in visionOS 2 (such as those for Home View, Control Center, and volume adjustment) are activating while my app is open, causing disruptions to my app's functionality. I want to disable these system-level gestures when my app is running.

AccessibilityUIServer has microphone locked
Just installed iOS 18 Beta 3. I am seeing my AccessibilityUIServer using the microphone and this is causing no notification sounds, inability to use Siri by voice and volume is grayed out. If I start to play anything with sound AccessibilityUIServer releases the microphone and I am able to use the app. Calls still work since AccessibilityUIServer will release and the phone will ring. Feed back ID is FB14241838.
