The iPad’s software
I was thinking that I would like to share tips on how to improve the iPad’s interface. Here seems to be a good place. Out of constantly seeing little important details that would improve the user’s experience, I also thought that it would be really nice to exchange about such improvements and of who fun it could become. My mind likes it when Interfaces display the minimum options at once while those representing all the given necessities. The scope of this thread is broader and was created to have a space for thinking about software efficiency design. Like why on my key board should I press .?123 to then uncover #+= under the shift button? Meanwhile there are now a + sign displayed at twice upon my eyes! Ah! If I could be hired to redesign the iPads keyboard user’s experience, this world would slightly be a more efficiently structured place.

seriously flawed iOS 18 slow-mo capture & playback
I love to use my iPhone as a camera. it is what makes this phone the best, ever, period But, ever since iOS 18 update, slow-mo capture & playback is a painful experience. Ok, I get it, it is not an action camera but I was able to have an instant-slow-mo-playback on prior iOS versions. But ever since iOS 18, I have to wait at least 5-10 minutes to "play" slow-mo video and I noticed something else, even though I didn't modify any settings on the video, iOS 18 creates slow-mo video file in phone's storage and takes up a LOT of space and often making me clean all of my files to find what was wrong the device. I think, in my all honesty, apple must pull iOS 18 update and work on it a little bit more. Till then, I'll be using my DJI Action Camera for 240fps, at least it works, instantly.

16" to 27" iPAD's
HI Apple, Can you please design & release a bigger iPad panel. Work the visual engineering side of Live Events & we need this now. Touchscreen support on MBP's always been terrible but with 'sidecar' we have an option, all be it a merger 13" one. Mac mini + Big iPad could be the ultimate 'on the road' office. Shareholders will be happy & you can still play the MacOS / IOS game whilst giving us pro users an option. Bring back Jony Ive?. Its 2024 Best, FF-44.

Video playback performance suffers unless I wiggle the mouse
For years (since I got my M1 MacBook Pro) I've experienced this weird performance degradation. I've tried posting about it to numerous channels, always without a reply. I figured I'd try here. The symptom is: video playback (of visual frames, not audio; audio is unaffected) stutters if I just let the player play. I'll start a video playing, it will play normally, but if I leave the computer alone to play back, the frame rate will drop dramatically (one or two frames per second, even slower). If I wiggle the mouse (generating events), playback resumes normally. After a few seconds, it will stutter again. It's as if the computer were throttling back on system clocks or something because there’s no user input. As you can imagine, this is a frustrating user experience when trying to watch videos. It doesn't matter if it's a YouTube video playing in Safari, or a WWDC video playing in the WWDC.app or Developer.app, or any other video in QuickTime Player.app. And it doesn't always happen. I have my own video playback app that doesn't seem to suffer from this, even though it plays multiple videos simultaneously. I'm on power adapter, and settings are generally set to maximum performance when on power adapter. Any ideas?

Overnight Notification Center message, "bash was prevented from modifying apps"
Wake up this morning and see this very concerning sticky message in Notification Center: bash was prevented from modifying apps It didn't say what parent program called `bash' so I clicked on the N.C. message to see if there was more information and it just disappeared (as if I had chosen to click on the X to clear the message-I wish I had taken a screenshot first). I have already sent in a request to Apple for them to give more detailed information on events like this. If there is an existing threat on a device it needs to be removed. The only thing that I know of that happened overnight was a SPAM email from "Norton Antivirus" came into my Gmail Inbox that wasn't filtered as SPAM and macOS announced it in Notification Center. I don't see anything funny in the RAW data of the email - and reported it to spamcop. Is it possible that a malicious email could contain html code that runs when it's announced via macOS Notification Center?

IOS 18.0.1 Photos Issues
Many issues in terms of usability and glitches. When reviewing Video clips on the Photos app there is no way to have the full screen view and pause and scroll forward and backward. It only shows the shrunken screen. When zooming in on a video and scrolling forward and backward it only shows part of the clip, you cannot scroll to the end of the clip. This must be some glitch in the software. Was any of this app tested beforehand for usability? IOS 18, in general, may be one of the worst releases I've experienced. This stuff may have been said many times already but my goodness fix the Photos app immediately!!

Reviewers are testing an old version
Hi everyone, We've submitted my app for review several times, making improvements with each submission. However, the reviewers keep providing generic feedback and irrelevant complaints. For example, we changed the logo and primary color, so it's clear they aren't reviewing the correct version. We've ensured that the latest version was properly uploaded for review. They also keep claiming the app contains "testing data" like lorem ipsum, but none of that is in the database anymore. I'm at a loss here. Does anyone have any advice on how to resolve this?

Help Needed with SwiftUI: Custom Button Animation Issue
I’m trying to create a custom animation for a button in SwiftUI, but the animation doesn’t seem to trigger properly when the button is pressed. I’ve followed the standard approaches using withAnimation, but the button only occasionally animates. Has anyone encountered this issue? Are there specific guidelines or common pitfalls in SwiftUI for button animations that I might be missing? Any insights would be appreciated!

How to Implement Background Fetch in iOS App for Periodic Data Updates?
Hi everyone, I’m working on an iOS app and I need to implement background fetch to periodically update data even when the app is in the background. I’ve enabled Background Fetch in the capabilities, but I’m not sure how to properly set up the fetch intervals and ensure reliable data updates without draining too much battery. What’s the best approach to set the frequency of background fetches? Are there any specific best practices to optimize battery usage while using background fetch? Is there a way to ensure the fetch runs more frequently for time-sensitive data? Any advice or code examples would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for your help.
