Like I said, Xcode always selects the most recently used device for debugging, but when that device disconnects from the Mac, Xcode takes a long time to load and you can’t dismiss it. What a stupid feature! Has anyone encountered the same issue and found a way to resolve it? Thank you very much!

Hi! Short time lurker, and first time poster, but I will try to be as descriptive as possible. I have had my HomePod mini since 2021, and have been loving it. Recently, though, I am facing issues which have paralyzed it. Background: Running two HomePod Minis under a stereo pair on the same network in a room. Devices worked well, with the odd dropping of the sound once a while, not too big of an issue. Started running HomePod OS26 beta in July to see what the new updates have, and maybe if the audio issues would be resolved. Issue: Two weeks ago, the after the (then) latest update, there was a no response issue in the app. No big deal, let's just restart the HomePod pair. After restart, no bueno. I also got a new beta software update notification, so decided if I updated them both, the issue will probably be resolved. No dice. The issue persists. So I decided to pair the HomePods and factory reset them. Both HomePods disappeared from my home app. Regular behavior. Going to reset them with the old unplug for 30 s, replug into power, hold finger on the display had no issues for the first one. For the second HomePod, unplug, hold, and plug in. Problems. No display. Tried it a bunch of times, nothing. Waited a day, in case the capacitors needed to be discharged for it to do a cold boot. Nothing. Looking across the interwebs, I found that we can connect the HomePods to Macs, have them show up on Finder, and update from there. Connecting into the Mac, nothing. Waited for the caps to discharge before engaging again, nothing. Now, I fear I may have problems. So I scheduled a meeting at the Genius Bar. Genius Bar individual said no support as you are running beta software. We are not allowed to touch or diagnose those devices. They also said that there are no external facing endpoints for us to diagnose or check. I would have better luck with online Apple Support or over call with Apple Support. Okay, sounds good. Contacting Apple Support, they said that we will have to wait for the official release of HomePodOS 26 for us to support you, to which I agreed. During this time, I thought about seeing if I could troubleshoot and see if anything was coming out of the HomePod when connected to the Mac. So I wrote a script, querying and logging different aspects of the USB controller on the Mac and seeing what device connects. I removed all other USB devices connected to the Mac, and started the script. First, I connected and disconnected the HomePod a couple of times, and on the last connect, I left it in, and let the script record the readings. Reading the output told me that there was indeed a device that was connecting and disconnecting. Here are some of my findings: Port Readout Summary Apple's UVDM stack lights up on the Port-USB-C@2 (CC path, SOP) AppleUVDM driver tried to read identity VDOs, initially rejected, then carried on and the transport finished powering on successfully. Furthermore, the VDM read attempts itself are rejected, typical when the accessory is gating Apple specific commands The CC transport merged metadata for SOP with a 3-VDO identity set. The CC property change during the run indicates an active PD negotiations. USB link states also toggled on that port with driver status Ready Port-USB-C@2/SOP shows Vendor ID and Product ID (not sure if this is private information, so not sharing) Port-USB-C@1/SOP, the e-marker in the HomePod cable shows the same, with product type "Passive Cable" Only CC is flagged "TransportsActive" Apple's accessory authentication stack is present The USB speeds on the port flicker between Gen 3 and Gen 2, indicating to me some sort of handshake failing in the stack, which is preventing enumeration in the System Report and Finder This likely is indicating to me that the target isn't enumerating as a normal USB device, but rather as a USB-PD Vendor Defined Messaging (UVDM) protocol on the CC line. Furthermore, the signature is in a "hidden" service/update modes, which does not enumerate standard USB functions. So, having all this information available to me, I got on a call with Apple Support today, and they went through some of the troubleshooting steps and told me that they could neither escalate the issue (due to it being on a beta software that THEY DO NOT SUPPORT) nor remediate or troubleshoot the issue (as it is an accessory) and the only thing their support options say is to wipe the device, as it is something that is not supported. Upon my suggestion of this my USB logs being used to review the case, they said my personal USB logs would be detrimental towards my case. Their final recommendation was for me to reach out to Apple Developer support as I am running beta software on this HomePod Mini. So, here I am! I highly believe this is a Software issue, contrary to what Apple Consumer Support call representative indicated. All and any help/guidance and support is appreciated. All and any help in boosting the visibility of this issue on the forums would also be greatly appreciated. I have had these bad boys since my undergrad, and I would hate to lose one of them. For Apple Support, before you lock and close this post down and recommend I go to Apple Consumer Support, they said that they cannot help me, and consumer support steps start and end at resetting the device.

A while ago i installed iOS 26 beta 2 on my iPhone 12 mini with an unrecognised battery, and after updating, the battery percentage was stuck at 1%. so I tired different things, but never worked if not downgrading to iOS 18, now iOS 26 is out and i don't know if it now safe to update. i don't have the time now to troubleshoot so if someone can help me or tell me if this bug is fixed

After my phone updated to the latest version of iOS 26 Beta overnight, I found out this morning that I cannot get past the setup process as it fails to recognise it's connected to the WiFi and is then unable to activate Apple Intelligence. I've tried bypassing this via iPhone mirroring on my MacBook, and while I can access the home screen that way, all native apps are inaccessible and 3rd party apps are only accessible via app switcher. The 3rd party apps (Slack, Instagram, etc) work fine, meaning the device has an internet connection. Unless someone has another suggestion, it looks like my only option is to remove the beta software by restoring my device - although I'm going to wait until iOS 26 is fully released later today (how convenient) as I don't want to use an iOS 18 backup and lose a bunch of stuff.

Apple did not allow this post on regular forums due to iOS 26 usage, sent me there to post Previously, you were able to manage gifts that you send to other people (i.e. gift cards) via App Store app - there was a "Gifts" button in the App Store, where you could resend the gift if it did not arrive. Now, on iOS 26, this button is not available anymore in the app. It's just not there. On my Macbook that currently runs Sequoia, this button is available in the App Store app, but clicking it returns "Cannot connect to App Store". Did Apple remove that functionality? Because I can't even submit a ticket on Apple Support to file a claim about undelivered gift. Gift sending itself works as usual, I managed to send a new gift right after that.

My iPhone is on iOS 26 RC and when I tried adding music to my library, the app crashed and when I opened it again my whole Apple Music library including playlists disappeared but it still shows that the app is showing 8 gb of storage. I’ve tried restarting my phone, closed the app and reopened it, and that didn’t work, what do I do

I have a FORD F250 2021. I returned for a deployment, and CarPlay does not work in my vehicle. I have tried all the YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram videos I could find. They all actually started to repeat, so I decided to come here. My wife has an iPhone 16 Pro Max, and it connects to CarPlay without any issues. Other than all the social media suggestions, do you have any other suggestions? No, I am not ready to purchase a new device.

Installer hangs during installation of Epson iProjection app on macOS 26 (Tahoe) When running the installer for Epson iProjection Ver.4.03 on macOS 26 (Tahoe) RC, the installation process hangs midway and becomes unresponsive. Run the installer for Epson iProjection Ver.4.03 from the following link: https://support.epson.net/setupnavi/?LG2=EN&OSC=WS&PINF=vpapp&MKN=EB-770Fi The installer hangs during the installation process and does not proceed. (Please refer to the attached screenshot for details.) The installation should complete successfully without hanging. <Version / Build> macOS 26 RC (25A353) The installation error log is as follows: RemotePlugin: Epson iProjection Ver.4.03 terminated with error: Error Domain=com.apple.ViewBridge Code=17 "(null)" UserInfo={com.apple.ViewBridge.error.hint=connection to view service became invalid -- benign unless unexpected, com.apple.ViewBridge.error.description=NSViewBridgeErrorDisconnection} Is this behavior expected due to changes introduced in macOS 26? Are there any recommended workarounds or mitigation steps?

The first Beta install stopped recognizing a Yamaha USB audio interface. The next two installs brought the recognition back. The last Beta install doesn't recognize the interface completely. The midi implementation works but the audio implementation isn't recognized in Audio/Midi setup. This might be something to look at in the next Beta release or something audio interface venders should look at in their next driver release.

Hi Ed Ford, thank you for your response. I tried to reply directly in the forum with the requested output, but I keep receiving an error message ("Your post couldn’t be saved. Please try again in a few minutes."). It seems I cannot currently post a follow-up reply. Just to notify you: I ran the command you suggested, but my shell reports zsh: command not found: devicectl. Thank you!

I have a Nissan Rogue 2021 and iPhone 14 Pro Max. Carplay was working fine until I decided to update to the new beta program and now my carplay does not seem to want to operate at all. I do the fixes online suggest in rebooting both systems, forgetting entirely and reconnecting. In the process of doing so, I can get the prompts to start with "Allow while unlocked?" But once selecting that I am unable to actually use the Carplay from the phone. It doesn't even give option to switch to it when I attempt to change audio output. Since June. Starting another post in hopes something can be done.

Hey everyone, After updating my iPhone 15 Pro Max to iOS 26 RC today, I noticed a bright line appearing on the display (as shown in the photo). At first, I thought I was just unlucky and my screen had gone bad, but then I saw several similar reports on Reddit (links below). Just wondering—has anyone else here experienced the same issue? And if so, did you find any fix or workaround? https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSBeta/comments/1mswbel/ios_26_pb3_bright_line_appeared_on_screen/ https://www.reddit.com/r/iOSBeta/comments/1mtuabs/ios_26_db6_white_bar_appeared_on_display/?share_id=FZ7lTJC07DxcrIRlj1mbv&amp;utm_content=2&amp;utm_medium=ios_app&amp;utm_name=ioscss&amp;utm_source=share&amp;utm_term=1 Thanks in advance!

With ios 26 the chapter images are not updating anymore. At first I thought this is carlay related but it also occures when the phone is connected only through USB or bluetooth to play a podcast. I tried Apple podcasts and other apps like Pocketcast or audible. Same problem. The phone shows the correct chapter image while my car shows the inital image all the time. Even tried a different car :-) I checked focus and settings but found nothing related. With ios18 everything works fine. Any ideas?

Why does the alarm picker stop at 6:39? Is that intentional?

On iOS, I have a deep link that opens the app directly if it’s already installed. If the app is not installed, the user is first redirected to my website, which then automatically redirects them to the App Store. The deep link contains a parameter that should be passed to the app. On Android, this is possible because the Play Store provides a referrer ID after installation, which allows the app to fetch the parameter on first launch. What options are available on iOS to achieve the same behavior — i.e., preserving and passing the deep link parameter through the App Store install flow? I’m already aware of solutions like Branch.io, other deferred deep linking services, and the clipboard approach, so I’m looking for alternative approaches.

Hello, I am setting up an auto-renewable subscription for my iOS app in App Store Connect. I would like to set the monthly subscription price to ¥710 (Japanese yen). From what I understand, Apple requires us to use predefined price tiers for in-app purchases and subscriptions. However, I’m not sure whether subscriptions allow more flexibility than one-time in-app purchases. 👉 My questions are: Is it possible to set an arbitrary subscription price such as ¥710, or must I pick the closest price tier from Apple’s official subscription price list? If arbitrary prices are not allowed, is there an official list of available subscription price points for Japan that I can refer to? Can we set subscription prices in multiples of 10 yen (e.g., ¥700, ¥710, ¥720), or are we strictly limited to the price points Apple provides? Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi everyone, We're seeking clarification and assistance regarding the StoreKit External Purchase capability in our iOS app. 🧾 Context We have applied for and been approved under the Alternative Terms Addendum for Apps Distributed in the European Union. The StoreKit External Purchase capability is now active in our app, but we want it to be limited to the EU region only, and not available in the United States. Could anyone from Apple (or community members with experience) help confirm: Whether there's any misconfiguration causing the capability to be active outside the EU? That our account has EU distribution correctly enabled? 🧪 Technical Issue: canPresent Always Returns false We are currently implementing StoreKit.externalPurchase in our iOS app, but we’re seeing unexpected behavior during testing. ✅ What We've Done Entitlement Added: com.apple.developer.storekit.external-purchase Info.plist Updated: SKExternalPurchase dk Device & Account Setup: Real iPad used for testing canMakePayments() returns true Device signed in with a Sandbox Apple ID set to Denmark ❗️Observed Behavior canPresent() always returns false The storefront region reported by the app is "USA", not "Denmark" We've tried: Cleaning the project Reinstalling the app Verifying provisioning profiles Restarting the device Still no success. Questions Are there known delays in region propagation for Sandbox Apple IDs? Are there device or App Store settings that influence canPresent() region logic? Any help or insights would be appreciated!

I think iPhone users should have a feature in Wallpaper that allows each page in the homescreen to have a different wallpaper.
