Immediately after installing iOS 26 on my iPhone 14 Pro, my phone display stopped working. It's not responding to touch, but I can see it charging. It also wakes the screen whenever I pick it up, but it's not touching at all. What do I do, or do I have to downgrade?

first post here and this is kinda a long shot. I’m working on a custom keypad project for a young man with some mobility issues that unfortunately prevents gestrue and voice control as UI options. id like to see if I can pull track metadata via a Bluetooth connection into a custom keyboard with a small screen. I know hid doesn’t support this but I was hoping maybe the API for iOS’s blueprint remote app could be leveraged. I haven’t don’t much with Apple previousl. Usually Roku and Crestron implantations but I’m hoping to see if I can accomplish something with Apple, without needing to implement any IP connection.

I am integrating a camera with HomeKit. The audio and video streams work in the HomeKit Accessory Tester, but they do not work when using the Home app on an iPhone (Failed to select audio config – Could not find the right match in the supported list. Session is not in progress). I have a single audio configuration: Opus 16kHz mono with a constant bitrate of 24kbps.

Since updating to iOS 18.6 beta on my iPhone 13 ProMax, my battery usage has well over doubled. Also, my phone has become noticeably sluggish and unresponsive. For instance, after being charged to 100% my phone has dropped to 26% with only 1 hr 2m screen on time and 49m of screen off time. My phone gets noticeably warm to the touch, even through the case. Any ideas on the cause or any remedy?

Hello, I want to try develop hearing aid based on stm32 with BLE Module. If I want to only stream music from iPhone, does I need mfi certification? And I want to develop application with changing program on device

I am developing an app that communicates with external BLE device over GATT. The device has a secure-read characteristic exposing some of it's data and requires pairing/bonding in order to communicate with it. I was able to pair and connect with the device using AccessorySetupKit and .bluetoothPairingLE option: let descriptor = ASDiscoveryDescriptor() descriptor.bluetoothServiceUUID = CBUUID(string: serviceUUID) descriptor.supportedOptions = [.bluetoothPairingLE] let picketItem = ASPickerDisplayItem(name: name, productImage: image, descriptor: descriptor) In this case when setting up accessory, I was prompted to compare passkeys and after confirming I can read the characteristic etc. Then I tried adding .confirmAuthorization to picker item and problems started: let descriptor = ASDiscoveryDescriptor() descriptor.bluetoothServiceUUID = CBUUID(string: serviceUUID) descriptor.supportedOptions = [.bluetoothPairingLE] let picketItem = ASPickerDisplayItem(name: name, productImage: image, desc pickerItem.setupOptions = [.confirmAuthorization] When setting up, I can see a passkey to be confirmed, but when confirmed the setup ui get's suck in loading state. Under the hood in logs, I can see that my app has connected to peripheral and was able to read the characteristic. I am unsure why the ui is stuck in loading state in this case. What is the difference when using .confirmAuthorization option and what should be the proper flow of events to setup accessory and then access protoected characteristic?

Hello Apple Developers, I'm currently working on building a custom HomeKit Accessory using the HomeKit ADK v6.3 and running the Remote.OpenSSL sample on a Raspberry Pi 4 (64-bit Ubuntu / Linux Kernel 6.1.21-v8+). I'm trying to pair the accessory via the MFi HomeKit ADK pairing process. I've successfully compiled the ADK using: The application (Remote.OpenSSL) launches correctly, and the accessory server starts as expected, broadcasting via mDNS. However, when I attempt to initiate pairing via iOS (or simulate pairing), the following error occurs: Fault fatal error - HAPPlatformAccessorySetupLoadSetupInfo @ PAL/Linux/HAPPlatformAccessorySetup.c:93 This causes the application to crash.

We found that on some iPad devices (such as iPad8,9/iPad OS/18.5), when the media is playing, the recorded human voice is very small and is basically suppressed by the sound of the playing media. When the media is not playing, the human voice can be recorded. Likely when use screen recording with microphone, the ambient sound is also basically suppressed by the media sound.

Our app is connected to a hardware wifi without network. Under normal circumstances, we can communicate with the device. At some point, the communication suddenly stops, and the ping prompts "No route to host". The only way to reconnect is to restart the device. It feels like the system has marked ARP. Is there any way to reconnect the device without restarting the iphone?

I’m currently experiencing a concerning battery issue on my MacBook Pro and wanted to share it here in case others are facing something similar or if it’s possibly tied to a software-level behavior. Device & Software Info: • MacBook Pro 14” (2023) • macOS 26.0(25A5316i) • Battery Cycle Count: 307 • Battery Health: 91% (as of today) • Condition: Normal Issue: • Battery health has dropped from 96% to 91% in less than a week. • For the last week each day, the maximum capacity seems to decline by 1%, even when usage is light and the Mac is plugged in most of the time with Battery Health Management enabled. • When the battery drops below 10%, it drains extremely fast — the percentage decreases nearly second by second, which doesn’t feel normal.

Dear Apple Developer / MFi Program Support, I am exploring technical possibilities for screen sharing and remote interaction between iOS devices and external hardware (e.g., embedded systems, in-vehicle systems) for a prototype we are currently developing. I have reviewed the public iOS developer documentation, but I would appreciate your guidance and clarification on the following advanced use cases, particularly in the context of MFi or enterprise-level integrations: Full-Screen Sharing of iOS Device Is it possible to mirror or stream the entire iOS screen, even when the app is running in the background or not in the foreground? Does ReplayKit or any other framework under the MFi or enterprise entitlements allow full-device screen capture outside the app context? Remote Touch Injection and Control Is there any officially supported mechanism, under MFi or otherwise, that allows external systems to remotely control an iOS device’s touch interface (e.g., simulate gestures, taps, swipes)? Are any of the following permitted under special entitlements: Access to IOHIDEventSystem or similar private APIs for input injection? Communication over USB or network to relay control commands that simulate direct user interaction? Hardware-Level Integration and Entitlements Does the MFi Program allow: Use of private frameworks or entitlements to build low-level integrations for iOS device control or mirroring? Communication over USB/Lightning/USB-C to enable bi-directional interaction (streaming out, commands in)? What are the specific APIs or entitlements available under MFi that enable these use cases? Can you provide references to documentation, SDKs, or prerequisites for companies seeking such capabilities? Eligibility and Certification Process What are the criteria to be approved for the MFi program with access to such advanced capabilities? Can PoC or early-stage research prototypes be eligible, or is MFi access restricted to commercial production intent? How long does it typically take to gain access to these entitlements (assuming NDA and certification requirements are met)? Alternative Pathways If MFi access is not feasible in the short term, is there any Apple-supported alternative path (e.g., test device provisioning, enterprise signing, custom profiles) that permits more advanced capabilities for prototyping purposes? We are not looking to publish this as a general App Store app at this stage, but rather to demonstrate feasibility as part of an innovation prototype that may lead to further OEM-level engagement in the future. Thank you for your support and guidance. Best regards,

On the iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation) cellular model, when you touch the screen with four fingers and then move your fingers, the touch is no longer detected. The same operation with one to three fingers works normally. This phenomenon does not occur when accessibility is turned on. Is this a beta-specific issue that will be fixed in the official release?

We are develop an application with corebluetooth framework. we connect to device with ble. and open two l2cap channels. it can transfer data with stream. but when it close the second l2cap channel, it always close the first l2cap channel.

My MacBook speakers have started crackling on every sound since macOS 26 Beta 1, the problem is still the same on Beta 9. Happens especially when Simulator is opened.

According to Accessory Design Guidelines iPadOS support HID trackpad. Is there a design example of such supported devices? I have tried to adapt device software to guidelines without any result on iPad.

Hello, The Apple Pencil Pro brought with it the UICanvasFeedbackGenerator API, which lets us trigger haptic feedback on discrete events initiated by the pencil. That works fine. My question then: is it possible / are we "allowed" to trigger haptic feedback on events that weren't initiated by the pencil? For example, say the user is using a left hand finger to drag a slider, while holding the pencil in their right hand-- would it be possible to make the pencil vibrate to indicate the dragged slider knob reached a certain point? Or is the rule that vibration is only possible/allowed when the pencil itself generated a touch? Thanks!

I have some logic which requires NFC support on the device. This is what I'm using to make sure that it's available: isNFCMissing = !NFCNDEFReaderSession.readingAvailable && !NFCTagReaderSession.readingAvailable && !NFCVASReaderSession.readingAvailable Is it possible for isNFCMissing to be true even if the device has an NFC chip. The minimum iOS version for the application is 16 which is only supported on devices with an NFC chip to begin with.

Recently, I've noticed that background Bluetooth scanning stops when I move an app to the background on an iPhone 17 device with Bluetooth 6. I'm curious about a solution. Background Bluetooth scanning doesn't stop on devices older than iOS 26, or on devices that were updated from an iPhone 17 or earlier to iOS 26.

I have a small furnace that heats a sample of my product, a cylinder measuring 20mm x 100mm. As it is heated, there is thermal expansion, and I at this moment read (using my eyes) a micrometer dial gauge and type into my app the value read in hundredths of a millimeter. My source code uses quartz to draw a PDF graph that represents this thermal expansion. I would like to enhance my set up by getting my app to collect the linear displacement from my dilatometer furnace. One possibility I have been trying to implement is to have my app collect DC millivolts from an instrument, like a voltmeter reading the output of an LVDT (Linear Variable Differential Transformer), but the model I have requires MODBUS-RTU protocol, which is not well implemented by Mac OS X developers. It requires an USB-Serial converter, which complicates things and makes it more unreliable. At this moment, I have to sit next to my furnace and type into my app the temperature and linear displacement for 3 hours. I would like to read some comments and suggestions from you or an Apple Engineer and how this could be achieved. Here is a video of my dilatometer furnace: https://www.correiofacil.com/video/IMG_8888.MOV Here is a PDF I generated using my APP: https://www.correiofacil.com/PDF/117.pdf Here is a video showing how I type data manually into my app: https://www.correiofacil.com/video/recording2.mov Here is a video that shows my app drawing a graph: https://www.correiofacil.com/video/recording1.mov These 2 images show my attempts to use the app ModBusRtuMaster to collect data from the voltmeter which at this moment fails: https://www.correiofacil.com/PDF/8f9be971dee32a58c36b307dbab3dc2d.png https://www.correiofacil.com/PDF/4ac20c2ea762fd42ed340a7a2b567900.png You will notice that although the instrument is displaying 0.000 volts, the data collected changes at each message I send to the instrument, proving me that Modbus RTU set up is not working. Here is a link to the manual of the DC voltmeter I am using: https://www.correiofacil.com/PDF/manual1.pdf Here is an image of the LVDT I am trying to use: https://www.correiofacil.com/PDF/e0349986512f9273b26b209baa3ba5c7.png Here is the manual for the LVDT: https://www.correiofacil.com/PDF/GGD19.pdf I suspect that there could be a completely different approach to collecting the data and inputting into my app, maybe Bluetooth? Maybe using a Mitutoyo gauge such as?
