Possible to bring back "Time in Bed" iOS feature?
I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS 26. But since iOS 18, Apple decided to remove the "Time in Bed" feature[1][2]. Is it possible to develop an app that, effectively, "brings back" this feature? It doesn't have to be that accurate. Just a gauge is fine. As a starter I would like to track the time the phone was in Sleep mode (regardless whether the phone is being used). I have a minimal programming background but have not developed an iOS app before so any help would be appreciated. I found out about HealthKit[3] which lets me access (edit?) Health data, but I don't know where to go from there.

spcData payload (fairplay.cer) for FairPlay key server
We're sending the spcData payload to our fairplay key server (version 5.1) with the base64 encoded string of our fairPlay.cer that was downloaded from our developer portal and we're getting a spcVersionErr (-42580) for the spc version. The value that is being received by the key server seems to be 813827283 when it should be either 1 (base_constants.SPCVersion.v1.rawValue) or 2 (base_constant.SPCVersion.v2.rawValue). We're assuming we're encoding the fairplay.cer incorrectly. Any insight from anybody would be appreciated.

CarPlay Image Issue on iPhone 17?
Has anyone else had any issued with their CarPlay with the new phone? My screen gets distorted and you cannot make up anything that shows up on it, it's specific to the new phone since I have also tried it with an iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 13. I have updated my car's firmware, reset it, reset my phone settings (per Apple's request) and nothing seems to be working, and unfortunately since I'm on the beta they are limited with the assistance they are able to provide to me.

Phonebook
I don't like the ios 26 phone book because sometimes, I just want to look up contanct info. Now, I have to go into edit to see the contact info. Then, I cannot even see the whole phone number at once. When I click on it, I still cannot see tha whole number. Please make it the way it was! Note: I tried to find a place to report this as an iphone user and couldn't, so I put it here. Please making finding a place like this available and easy to find for ios users.

IOS downgrade from 26 to 18
Hi developers, The iOS 18 has been unsigned since 09/23, which is much earlier than Apple usually does. In addition, the new features in IOS26 are tough to get used to; therefore, the sign for IOS18.7 is urgently needed by a large number of Apple users! Please see discussions on every social media across various languages.

Phone App Being Quirky - Touch Tone Not Working, not able to answer
I have been trying to make phone calls using the Phone app on my MacBook Air. The calls will go through with absolutely no problem. If it's a service that needs touch-tone phone prompts, the tones do not register with the automated system. I have also just noticed that when a call rings on my computer (and it IS ringing), there is no way to answer it. I am running Tahoe Beta 26.1 Any thoughts?

NVMe External Disk working in MacOS Sequoia But not in Tahoe
Hi, I have been using external NVMe disk since March 2025 with my Mac M1 1TB until recently couple of days agao I updated Mac OS to Tahoe from Sequpoia 15.6. Now Mac OS Tahoe is disconnecting my NVMe automatically saying please eject the disc before disconnecting and suddenly after an hour it reconnects. Right now I have reinstall Mac OS Sequoia and My external NVMe disk is working again. This post is for Mac OS developers to check for APFS drivers on Mac Tahoe as they are messing up with external NVMe SSD. I dont know about others brand of NVMe I am using Transcend inclosure with transcend NVMe 2TB SSD hard disk. Kindly please check as its not NVMe issue its and OS issue. If it was NVMe issue my SSD should also not work with Sequoia but as it is working with Sequoia so it has to be something with Tahoe OS. Kindly review your code about APFS drivers or thunderbold USB C drivers or may be something else linked to APFS file system. I hope this post reaches you and you guys can consider it as help ful. Kind regards

SSC Distinguished Winner here😃! I created the1st game 100 % using Apple Pencil to interact. Interested in joining our DC?
Hey everyone, I'm beyond excited to share that I've been selected as a Distinguished Winner in this year's Swift Student Challenge! 🎉 It all started last summer, in the middle of a Western Culture class. I was zoning out , and my attention drifted to the Apple Pencil in my hand. And then ,it hit me — this thing is literally a next-level game controller. Think about it: pixel-perfect precision, haptic feedback, multiple built-in sensors... Why aren't we using this for gaming? And that got me thinking — why have we spent the last 500 years treating the "pencil" as just a tool for creation, and not for play? Since graphite pencils were invented in 1564, we've had this incredibly natural way to interact with 2D and 3D space... and nobody's fully tapped into it for games. So, I did something about it. I built a game that's 100% controlled by the Apple Pencil yep, just the Pencil. I know what you're thinking: "How does that even work??" And honestly, I'd love to tell you... but I'm in the final stages of getting it onto the App Store, and it should be live within the next couple of weeks. So for now... 🤐😄 In the meantime, I've set up a Discord server for anyone who's curious about the gameplay, the design, or just wants to brainstorm ideas with me. If you're into creative controls, game design, or just want to hang — come join the conversation! [Join the Discord here!] https://discord.gg/5Rm8WKbekf Can't wait to share more soon!

Review rejected hidden features、web game and web payment
Guideline 2.3.1 - Performance The app contains hidden features. Specifically, we still noticed that your app includes code which causes it to behave differently during the review process regarding web game presentation and payment. It would be appropriate to ensure that all features and functions in the app are visible and fully accessible during review. Guideline 3.1.1 - Business - Payments - In-App Purchase The app allows users to purchase digital content natively or via a web view in the app using payment mechanisms other than in-app purchase. Apps cannot include in-app payment mechanisms other than in-app purchase. Apps on the United States storefront may also include buttons, external links, or other calls to action to direct users to payment mechanisms other than in-app purchase. We have been rejected three times due to hidden functions and issues with web payment and web games. However, in the last package we submitted for review, it was confirmed that the code related to web games was removed, and the code related to web interaction JS bridging payment calls was also removed Dear experts, we sincerely invite you to offer your valuable suggestions. If you have any experience of meeting us, please share with us. We would be extremely grateful

iOS 26 - S/MIME Encryption / Certificates
Hi everyone. Since the update to iOS 26, we are no longer able to tap the person's name and view the certificate of a signed email and choose to install the certificate or remove it. This has always worked just fine but seems to be broken on iOS 26 and I have verified that it does not work on iOS 26.1 beta as well. The part that is strange is it does work just fine on an iPad running iPad OS 26. This makes it impossible to send encrypted emails to someone via the mail app on an iPhone. I have found a temporary workaround which is to install Outlook for iOS and install the certificates through that app which then allows me to send encrypted emails via Outlook. This appears to be a bug just with the iPhone as I have also seen a few other people online talking about the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Photos taken on my iPhone do not sync with iCloud
I'm using an iPhone 15 Pro running iOS 26.1 (23B5044l) public beta and photos and videos taken on my phone are not syncing with iCloud and do not appear within Photos on my Mac Mini yet screenshots and images that come down via Apple messages or WhatsApp are syncing immediately., and appear on both devices. I can understand why Apple Messages and WhatsApp images appear within Photos on my Mac Mini as it too has access to both apps independently from my iPhone but screenshots that immediately appear on my Mac Mini are generated on my iPhone. So if screenshots sync why do my photos and videos not sync as they too are generated on my iPhone?
