We are developing a matter device. How can we display our own APP under the Home device information?

I need to implement an app that exchanges data with peripherals through TypeC on Apple 15 phones, but I have two questions that I need to ask for help: Which library is used to communicate with peripherals through the TypeC port of the Apple mobile phone? Do peripherals need to pass MFi authentication before they can communicate with the App?

我在Core Bluetooth中发现了连接数量相关的错误码：CBError.Code.connectionLimitReached。 但是并没有找到最大连接数量相关的定义。请问在哪里可以找到最大连接数量相关的定义？

Hi i had problem after upgrade to ios 26. I try connected to my xiaomi earbud bluetooh, all functioning well (watch movie, listen song) except when on call, the bluetooth cannot function at all. Only able speak on phone or loud speaker. Already try do setting at Audio & Visual > Call Audio Routing > Bluetooth Headset. Anyone facing the same issue?

Hi, We are developing a Matter switch product. The switch contains 4 buttons, and each button supports click, double click, and held actions. Currently, the device can be successfully commissioned with a HomePod mini, and in the Apple Home app, it is displayed as 4 buttons with options for click, double click, and held for each. The only issue is that the order of the 4 buttons in the Home app does not correspond to the endpoint order (endpoint 1–4). For example, the following mapping might occur: endpoint 1 → button 2 endpoint 2 → button 3 ... We found a related issue on the Apple Developer Forums that matches what we're experiencing: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/772367?utm_source=chatgpt.com According to the official response, the problem seems to be caused by insufficient metadata being reported by the device. Could you please provide more specific guidance on what exact information needs to be reported from the device side? We have already tried adding the Fixed Label and User Label clusters to the device, but they don't seem to have any effect. Ideally, we would like the button labels in the Home app add our custom names in the correct order, as below: button 1 (right_button) button 2 (up_button) button 3 (down_button) button 4 (left_button) This would provide a much better user experience. Thank you in advance!

I opened a terminal window this morning and couldn't cd to /home. When I type a tilde, I get a paragraph symbol. Yesterday, my external keyboard could type a Pipe symbol, no such luck today. I ended up having to use hidutil to remap my keyboard and run keystrokes through terminal to restore what worked yesterday. When I look at the available English keyboards, they're all showing a paragraph symbol above the Tab key. Has anyone else run into this sudden keyboard change?

We have developed a live iOS application, built using Swift and UIKit, that enables users to connect via Bluetooth to an EV charging box. Once connected, users can start and stop the charging process directly from the app. The app also requires an active internet connection initially, as it uses server-side functionality to select and authorize the charging box. However, we recently discovered an issue affecting users on iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 models, specifically when the device enters Satellite mode (Emergency SOS via Satellite) — i.e., when there is no mobile data or Wi-Fi. In this mode, the system Satellite screen is triggered and Bluetooth stops functioning, preventing our app from connecting to the EV box. Users are unable to proceed, even though the app would still be usable via Bluetooth once the box is selected. We have already declared required Bluetooth background modes (bluetooth-central, bluetooth-peripheral) in Info.plist, and the app functions perfectly outside of this scenario. However, the behavior in Satellite mode appears to either disable Bluetooth entirely or restrict access from third-party apps. We’d like to know Is this the expected default behavior on iOS in Satellite mode? Is there any entitlement or exception available to allow Bluetooth access in such emergency scenarios (especially for critical utilities like EV charging)? Can an app like ours be made visible under the Satellite settings, or request access under this mode? This is a concern for users in remote or basement locations where mobile data is unavailable, and they rely solely on Bluetooth to charge their vehicles. Please advise if there is a workaround or planned support in future iOS versions. Thank you.

I'm using AirPods Pro 2 with an iPhone 15 Pro Max. After installing the IOS 26 beta I'm not able to get the new features to work. Does anyone have thoughts or info? Thanks

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?

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.

Hello, I put the mac into hard reset, deleted all data and prepared for sale. But the restore did not complete and is in boot loop Can't go into recovery mode It is completely bricked or can be somehow "revived" as I read on the apple website. Thank you

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

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.

I have bought iphone 16 pro max on October 28, ( 9 months ago) and rarely dropped by battery health below 20%. I also set limit to 80% so I can preserve my Battery Health. I am not a multitasking user. I used fan to keep the phone cool during charging. But today I update to iOS26 public beta, It dropped to 99% at 88 Cycle which is quite low cycle. Many other user are getting their battery health dropped to 99% after 120, 130+ cycle with daily usage. Why mine got dropped after updating. I am quite unhappy with it, and iOS 26 is so jittery in my phone

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.

I am writing to seek assistance regarding an iBeacon implementation issue we are experiencing in our iOS application. Issue Description: We have successfully implemented iBeacon functionality in our app, but we are encountering a specific problem with background region monitoring: When app is in foreground: Our app successfully detects iBeacon signals and triggers notifications when entering beacon regions. When app is terminated: Our app fails to respond when entering our own iBeacon regions. However, we have observed an interesting behavior: Third-party iBeacon apps can still detect and trigger notifications for their beacon regions After a third-party app triggers, our app suddenly starts receiving notifications for our own iBeacon hardware Technical Details: iOS Version: 18.0 Xcode Version: 16.。4 Device Models Tested: iPhone 15 Pro Questions: What could be causing our app to fail detecting iBeacon regions when terminated, while third-party apps work correctly? Why does our iBeacon detection start working only after another iBeacon app triggers? Are there specific implementation requirements or best practices for reliable background iBeacon monitoring? Could this be related to iOS background app refresh policies or system resource management? Current Implementation: We have implemented the standard Core Location framework with: CLLocationManager with appropriate authorization Region monitoring setup with CLBeaconRegion Background modes enabled for location services Proper delegate methods implemented We would greatly appreciate your guidance on resolving this issue, as it significantly impacts our app's user experience. Thank you for your time and support.

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.
