Since I updated my iPhone 13 to this new update I have two problems First: the battery discharges too fast or it gets stuck and doesn't discharge until I turn it off and turn it back on. Second: I see in my screen time a page that I had never seen is called imasdk.googleapis.com which I had never occupied and they tell me that it is a failure of the new update I hope you can help me fix that, since this mobile phone is new and already brings the faults by the ios

Device: iPhone [model], iOS 18.6.2 Xcode: 16.0.x Team: Individual paid Apple Developer Program (not Personal Team), shows as my full name in Xcode I’m trying to use CoreNFC via NFCTagReaderSession in a small SwiftUI app (part of a larger project). So far I’ve done: • Enrolled in the Apple Developer Program (individual). • Confirmed that in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles → Identifiers, my App ID for com.<…> has Near Field Communication Tag Reading enabled. • Created an iOS App Development provisioning profile for that App ID, including: • my Apple Development certificate • my iPhone device • Downloaded the profile, double-clicked it, and set it in Xcode under Signing & Capabilities with: • Team = my full-name team • “Automatically manage signing” off, using the custom profile. • Added the NFC Scan capability in Signing & Capabilities. • Added Privacy - NFC Scan Usage Description (NFCReaderUsageDescription) in Info.plist with a non-empty string. The app builds and runs on device. When I start the session: func beginScanning() { print("NFCTagReaderSession.readingAvailable =", NFCTagReaderSession.readingAvailable) session = NFCTagReaderSession(pollingOption: [.iso14443, .iso15693], delegate: self, queue: nil) session?.alertMessage = "Hold your iPhone near your Ori tag." session?.begin() } func tagReaderSession(_ session: NFCTagReaderSession, didInvalidateWithError error: Error) { print("NFC session invalidated:", error.localizedDescription) } readingAvailable is false, and I immediately see: NFC session invalidated: Session invalidated unexpectedly Earlier in this process I was seeing XPC sandbox messages like: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=4099 "The connection to service named com.apple.nfcd.service.corenfc was invalidated: failed at lookup with error 159 - Sandbox restriction." Those went away after I created the explicit iOS App Development profile and pointed the target at it, but the session still invalidates right away and readingAvailable never becomes true. Safari can read NDEF URL tags on this device, so the NFC hardware is working. Question: Is there anything else required on the App ID / provisioning / team side to enable CoreNFC with NFCTagReaderSession for an individual (non-enterprise) developer account? Or any known issues where readingAvailable stays false even with NFC Tag Reading enabled and a custom iOS App Development profile? Any hints on what I might still be missing would be greatly appreciated.

I have poked around the web looking for a good example to do this and I haven't found a working example. I need to connect to a USB Device, its multiple ports and supports what looks to be a root port and 4 other ports I am no expert in USB but I do know how to write a kext and client drivers, but thats really not the way to solve this. I need to display the serialized output from these USB ports for a development board. I would rather do this on my Mac than have to cobble up a Linux machine and mess around with Linux. Here is the output from ioreg MCHP-Debug@03100000 <class IOUSBHostDevice, id 0x105f6fdc2, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (20 ms), retain 27> MCHP-Debug@0 <class IOUSBHostInterface, id 0x105f6fdc8, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (13 ms), retain 5> +-o MCHP-Debug@0 <class IOUSBHostInterface, id 0x105f6fdc8, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (13 ms), retain 5> +-o MCHP-Debug@1 <class IOUSBHostInterface, id 0x105f6fdc9, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (11 ms), retain 5> +-o MCHP-Debug@2 <class IOUSBHostInterface, id 0x105f6fdcb, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (9 ms), retain 5> | | | | | +-o MCHP-Debug@3 <class IOUSBHostInterface, id 0x105f6fdcc, registered, matched, active, busy 0 (7 ms), retain 5> I have been able to open a inservice to the device at the top level, but I get an error when I use. usbHostInterface = [[IOUSBHostInterface alloc] initWithIOService:usbDevice options: IOUSBHostObjectInitOptionsNone queue: queue error: &error interestHandler: handler]; Error:Failed to create IOUSBHostInterface. with reason: Unable to obtain configuration descriptor. Assertion failed: (usbHostInterface), function main, file main.m, line 87. I started using DeviceKit but I received signing errors and I shouldn't have to go down that path just to dump data from a USB port? Any suggestions would be great, most of the Apple documentation on USB ports is like 20 years old and the new stuff pushes you towards DeviceKit.

iOS 26.2 Beta 23C5044b Phone's battery reports 0% Health, leaving it on multiple chargers (high/low wattage) doesn't change anything. Icon changes to charging. Changed the battery with a high quality aftermarket of ~70% charge, same issue. Unable to remove beta or update to RC2 due to the 20% minimum required... not sure what to do.

Title iOS App detecting external USB mass storage connection without user interaction Background We are developing an iOS application that connects to an action camera device via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for control and data transfer. In addition to wireless connectivity, our product requirements include supporting USB Mass Storage mode, where the camera (or a generic USB flash drive) is connected to an iPhone using a Lightning / USB-C adapter and appears in the Files app as an external drive. Requirement Our app needs to detect when an external USB mass storage device is connected or disconnected, with the following constraints: The app is already running in the foreground No user interaction is performed (no button tap, no document picker, no import UI) The USB device can be: A generic USB flash drive An empty USB drive (no photos or videos) The app only needs to know: Whether an external USB storage device has been connected or removed No need to access device identity, vendor info, or low-level USB details The expected behavior is simply to update the app’s internal state or UI when a USB storage device becomes available. Investigation Performed We have already investigated and tested the following public and documented approaches, all of which did not provide a reliable or any notification for USB mass storage insertion: ExternalAccessory / MFi Not applicable for generic USB storage devices Darwin notifications / CoreFoundation Using notify_register_dispatch and CFNotificationCenterGetDarwinNotifyCenter System USB / storage related notifications do not fire for third-party apps File system APIs NSFileManager mountedVolumeURLsIncludingResourceValuesForKeys On iPhone, external USB drives visible in the Files app are not exposed as mounted volumes to third-party apps FileProvider / DocumentPicker Only provides access after explicit user interaction No background or passive notification of availability ImageCaptureCore Limited to PTP camera devices Does not apply to generic USB mass storage Based on our testing, none of the public APIs provide a way to detect USB mass storage insertion automatically without user interaction. Question to Apple We would like to confirm the official platform behavior and capability boundary: Is there any public, documented, App Store–approved API on iOS that allows a third-party app to be notified when a generic USB mass storage device is connected or disconnected, without user interaction? If not: Is this limitation intentional by platform design? Is the recommended approach to rely exclusively on user-initiated document access flows (e.g. document picker, import UI)? Are there any recommended best practices for apps that need to update their UI or internal state based on the availability of external USB storage devices? Our goal is to ensure that our implementation fully complies with iOS platform guidelines and App Store Review requirements. Environment iOS versions tested: iOS 18 (latest public release) Devices: iPhone models with Lightning / USB-C USB devices: generic USB flash drives (including empty drives) Closing We appreciate clarification on whether this capability is intentionally restricted on iOS and how Apple recommends designing user experience around external USB storage access. Thank you for your guidance.

When trying to use the MIDI Maestro app by Singular Sound, BLE peripherals experience unwanted connection-parameter renegotiation and disconnections on iOS 26, beta iOS 26.2 does not fix this issue. iOS 26 BLE communications are being sent too fast to be read correctly by the hardware device, and iOS 26.2 refuses communication altogether.

Hello, We are developing an iAP2 accessory and encountering an issue during the Identification phase. Issue: Authentication: ✅ Successful Identification: ❌ IdentificationInformation rejected (0x1D03) Product Plan Status: "Submitted" (in MFi Portal) What we've verified: ProductPlanUID matches MFi Portal All required parameters per R43 Table 101-9 are included Parameters are in ascending order by ID Message format appears correct Observation: iPhone accepts the message format but still rejects IdentificationInformation, suggesting the issue may be related to Product Plan configuration or status rather than parameter format. Questions: Can a Product Plan with status "Submitted" complete iAP2 identification, or does it need to be "Approved"? Are there any Product Plan configuration requirements that might not be visible in MFi Portal? Should we configure "Control Message Lists" in Product Plan? (We don't see this option in Portal) We can provide additional technical details through secure channels if needed. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi, We are facing the issue of commissioning our Matter device to google home through iOS device will be 100% failed. Here is our test summary regarding the issue: TestCase1 [OK]: Commissioning our Matter 1.4.0 device to Google Nest Hub 2 by Android device (see log DoorWindow_2.0.1_Google_Success.txt ) TestCase2 [NG]: Commissioning Matter 1.4.0 device to Google Nest Hub 2 by iPhone13 or iPhone16 (see log DoorWindow_2.0.1_Google_by_iOS_NG.txt ) TestCase3 [OK]: Commissioning our Matter 1.3.0 device to Google Nest Hub 2 by iPhone13 In TestCase2, we noticed that device was first commissioned to iOS(Apple keychain) then iOS opened a commissioning window again to commission it in Google’s ecosystem, and the device was failed at above step 2, so we also tried: Commissioning the device to Apple Home works as expected, next share the device to Google Home app on iOS, this also fails. Commissioning the device to Apple Home works as expected, next share the device to Google Home app on Android, this works as expected and device pops up in Google home of iOS as well. Could you help check what's the issue of TestCase2? Append the environment of our testing: NestHub 2 version Google Home APP version

Invalid entitlement for core nfc framework. The sdk version '18.2' and min OS version '14.0' are not compatible for the entitlement 'com.apple.developer.nfc.readersession.formats' because 'NDEF is disallowed'. Anyone knows what is the correct configuration SDK version and minimum iOS deployment target for NFC that has NDEF format?

I purchased an iPad Pro M4 in early December, and since day one, I’ve been experiencing a recurring issue. Almost every day, at random times, the device freezes for 1–5 minutes and then restarts itself. The tablet is not under heavy load when this happens — I mainly use it for light tasks such as watching videos in a player or Safari browser, web surfing, and reading books. The issue has even occurred while the iPad was idle and locked; it froze, displayed the Apple logo, and rebooted. I brought the device back to the store where I purchased it, and they sent it for a diagnostic check. However, the experts concluded that the device is fully functional, and no defects were found. After one of these crashes, I noticed that my Apple Pencil started lagging (see video file IMG_5688.MOV). However, after another reboot, the issue with the Apple Pencil resolved itself. I’ve documented the issue with several video recordings showing the freezing and rebooting behavior, as well as error logs generated after such incidents. Device Details: Model: iPad Pro M4 Usage: Light tasks only (video streaming, web browsing, reading) Environment: No overheating, no resource-heavy applications running What could be causing this issue, and how can I resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! P.S. I’ve uploaded all the device logs and videos demonstrating the issue to Google Drive. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_R0i_iazADWo5EgStrPdgmf1XjgPP_RC?usp=sharing

Iphone 13 stuck on iOS beta 13 cant update it downloads but doesn‘t install have tried using a laptop didn't work my backup won’t work as well

Is there any way to use AccessorySetupKit in the background to discover BLE devices?

I'm developing an iPad app and encountered a strange issue with external Bluetooth keyboards. Issue: I have a Bluetooth keyboard set to JIS layout in Settings > General > Keyboard > Hardware Keyboard > Keyboard Type. If I connect the keyboard before launching the app, everything works fine, and the input follows the JIS layout. However, if I launch the app first and then turn on the Bluetooth keyboard, the input behaves as if the keyboard is in ANSI layout, even though the settings still show JIS. It seems like iPadOS defaults to ANSI if no external keyboard is connected when the app starts, and later connections do not update the layout properly. Has anyone encountered a similar issue, and is there a programmatic way to ensure that the correct keyboard layout is applied after the keyboard is connected? Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, We’re developing a BLE peripheral device and encountered a connection issue when connecting two devices (Device A and Device B) simultaneously to an iOS device. Problem: On iOS 18, we are experiencing occasional BLE timeouts and disconnections when both devices are connected at the same time. On iOS 16, we did not encounter this issue under the same conditions. What we’ve tried: Adjusted the connection interval from 30ms to 15ms. This seems to have improved stability somewhat. However, we still observe intermittent timeout/disconnection issues. Questions: Are there any known changes in BLE connection handling or timing constraints in iOS 18? Are there recommended connection parameter settings (interval, latency, timeout, etc.) for multi-device BLE connections in iOS? Is there a way to debug or log more details about the disconnection reasons on the iOS side? Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We are integrating the Microsoft Web Chat Control inside a WKWebView in our iOS application. The microphone button (used for speech input) works as expected when the app is active. However, we are facing an issue when the app is sent to the background and then brought back to the foreground.

I want to get Cover-Art Image over Bluetooth. From the SDP Discover iPhoneSE, it support Cover-Art Feature. I connect and config OBEX Channel with L2CAP ERTM, it is successful. I send connect_request the OBEX Connect, the iPhone always no any response, and l2cap s-frame response from iPhone always failed. From the Apple Developer, it need Apple Authentication Chip. Is it still necessary now? Are there any other ways to obtain album pictures?

Hey, I need to know how to use texture mapping for rendering a spectrogram in metal. As I need smoothens the spectrogram. In my current project I am using vertex based approach which results in blocky behaviour between each quad. I need to smooth across each qaud so that It will smoothly gradient over.
