Hello I've noticed that this product, heavily promoted on the ASC forums for many years, is no longer available from the Apple App Store. Can anyone tell me the reason why the product is no longer supported? Friends have asked me if it is 'safe' to use. Is it? Note to moderator: If I'm asking in the wrong places, please redirect my question. Thank you.

I am creating a barcode reader using the AVfoundation framework for iOS and IPadOS. The read result goes into payloadstringvalue, but I want to check the control characters contained in the symbol, so I am using the raw data of the description, which is a property of NSObjectProtocol inherited by VNBarcodeObservation. However, I noticed that if the length set in the raw data exceeds 26, some of the raw data in the description is omitted. So my question is, is it possible to set it so that all the raw data in the description is written out without omitting any raw data? If so, could you please tell me how to set this up? Also, if you know of any other way to extract the raw barcode data, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. Thank you.

The back camera of my new iphone 16 pro max keeps crashing almost every shot so bascially I cannot take any picture on this phone! such a huge failure on Apple!

You need to restore photo albums like it was before upgrade to 18 IOS

I am attempting to create a product and application that utilizes the Face-ID sensor for something outside of Face-ID itself. It is possible to re-use this sensor for something outside of Face-ID?

Hello, We are currently using Hub which uses CYPD3125 PD chip, It is used to connect with both Android and iOS devices. While our device works seamlessly with Android devices, we are encountering an issue when connecting to iOS devices, specifically the iPad Pro. Issue Description: The Powerpack/Hub is intended to handle Power Delivery (PD) communications. When connected to an Android device, the PD packets are exchanged correctly, and the device functions as expected. However, when connected to an iPad Pro, we observe abnormal PD packet exchanges which lead to malfunctioning of the Powerpack/Hub. Observations: Attached is a snapshot of the PD packets we captured while troubleshooting the issue in a scenario where the AC power adapter was initially connected. After a few seconds, we removed the plug, waited for a few seconds, and then plugged in the AC power again. This was the scenario when we captured the PD packets, as seen in the snapshot. The packets appear to be different when compared to those captured with an Android device. Below is the screenshot of the PD packet capture with Apple device: Below is the screenshot of the PD packet capture with Android device: Technical Observations: Initial Connection: The connection initiates but does not follow the expected PD communication sequence. Packet Structure: In the capture, the iPad Pro shows a series of PD Msg types including Src Cap, Req, and Accept, but there are also unexpected messages such as Hard Reset and Soft Reset that disrupt the communication. Timing Issues: The timestamps show irregular intervals between packets when connected to the iPad Pro, suggesting possible timing synchronization issues. Unexpected Resets: The capture shows a Hard Reset event at packet 9, which is not observed in the Android device captures. This suggests the iPad Pro might be detecting an error and attempting to reset the connection. Steps Taken: Verified the firmware and hardware implementation of the Powerpack/Hub. Ensured compliance with USB PD standards. Tested with multiple iPad Pro units to rule out device-specific issues. Additional Details: We have also tested with iPad Air and observed the same issue. The tests were conducted on both iOS version 16 and 17. We are attaching a USB PD capture with an Android device where it is working fine as expected. The PD packets were captured in a scenario where the AC power adapter was initially connected. After a few seconds, we removed the plug, waited for a few seconds, and then plugged in the AC power again. This was the scenario when we captured the PD packets, as seen in the snapshot. Despite these steps, the issue persists. We seek guidance on any issues or peculiarities with iOS devices and USB PD communication. Thanks

After updating to ios 18 iphone 12 mini battery drains pretty fast. Need apple to fo sufficient teating before ios updates. Quick fix would be appreciated.

I am having difficulty figuring out two indicators for a custom piece of battery hardware. Firstly, on the home screen, scrolling all the way to the left in the widget screen, you can see the battery for connected wireless devices, electronic pencils, etc. Additionally, when you use Apple battery packs, you can see the battery for it on the top right of your phone I am wondering where I should look to see how I could integrate both of these. I have searched the documentation for a while, and I am having a hard time knowing where to start. If anyone can point me to something, it would be very appreciated. Thank you!

I recently bought a new iPhone SE and transferred all of my data. I want to keep the old iPhone and have removed most of the Apps. However when I charge it fully at night, the battery is almost dead the following morning. This was not the case before I bought the new phone. When I check the battery app, it doesn't indicate any use that would explain why the battery is almost exhausted.

Après installation de l'application "Local" on me demande de mettre à jour mon Mac à la version 12.0. et c'est là le problème car je ne sais pas comment. Merci

I have a mobile phone and a number of peripherals. I want to know the maximum number of peripherals that can be connected to a mobile phone. Is there any clear explanation for this, or what is the relationship between the number of connections

I added some AVCaptureControl, then removed all of it.

In October the 9th I had 97% battery health and after not even a month (on the 28th October) my battery health went down to 94%. Anyone knows why ? I haven’t been using my phone more or charging it more than usual. using an iPhone 15 pro max. This is really concerning !!! 3% in less than a month?

I don't know what else to say other than the 18.0.1 update did not resolve my camera issue on my iPhone 16 pro. Still crashes a few times a week and I have to restart my phone every time. I heavily use my camera as I have 2 toddlers. C'mon, Apple! Get it together, I've owned my phone for a month now.

We have a USB dongle that would like to connect to the iPhone for power (using USB-C). Since it is not MFi, we will then use bluetooth for communication between the dongle and an app. When doing bluetooth pairing between the dongle and iPhone, it would be ideal to only see the dongle that is plugged into the iPhone listed in the app. This is to avoid connecting to other dongles that may be in the area. We think this could be possible using USB descriptors. We assume the iPhone can read the USB descriptors for non-MFi dongles. Our question is, can our app see the USB-descriptors of the dongle? Is iOS able to pass that info to the app? Then, we could have a unique USB descriptor for each dongle and the app could only list bluetooth devices with that descriptor (effectively filtering out any other dongles in the area). Any help and/or feedback is greatly appreciated :)

I have connected my Apple TV 4k to Sony Bravia TV using an HDMI Cable. Sometimes, all of a sudden, the screen starts blinking and Screen resolution (1080p) is displayed continuously. What is happening? I have tried different HDMI Cables, same result.

Hello Apple Support Team, I'm experiencing an issue with my iPhone 15 Pro. Although the battery health shows 100%, the phone shuts down unexpectedly at various charge levels, sometimes as high as 70% or even 40%. My iPhone is currently on iOS 18.2 beta 2, but this issue began with iOS 18.2 beta 1. I’ve tried multiple troubleshooting steps: Formatted the iPhone Performed a force reboot Upgraded and then downgraded the software Unfortunately, none of these solutions resolved the problem. The panic report doesn’t appear to show anything conclusive. I'm attaching the panic report for further analysis, as I’m unsure if this is a software bug related to the beta or a hardware issue. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi, I made an earier post about this and unfortunately can’t locate it so I’m doing a new one with screenshots. After I click on the Done button, I can briefly see it already residing on my phone. Please see the attached photos. Is this normal? I have a iPhone 15 ProMax. Thank you, D
