NASA API
Has any one worked with the NASA API website and/to develop a program to download information from the site, specifically pictures. I have been working to develop a program using the API for the Mars Rover for longer then I care to admit. I am able to get to the website and get a response/confirmation, but never able to receive any photo information. If someone has been successful with this or any of the NASA APIs (other than APOD, the first one on the site) I would appreciate any assistance you might be willing to share. I would like to see some of your program if you would not mind sharing it to understand where I might be going wrong. FYI this is all for my personal use and knowledge.

AR WorldMap Relocalization for Identical houses.
i have a specific requirement as below. i have apartments in which i have 4 units and each unit will be of same layout. furniture etc.. might change but not walls and layout as far as i know. Step1: Now i will enter into one unit, scan the entire unit and save it using RoomPlan Api and at the end of the scan i will be saving the worldmap as well. Step2: i want to use the previously saved worldmap and enter into another unit and want to relocalize with only walls because the furniture might be different. is that possible. if not is there any otherway to achieve this functionality? i really appreciate you valuable time. Thankyou.

My Developer Account is Locked
Hello, My developer account was closed last week. In a conversation with Apple support, I was informed that the account was closed due to “inactivity”, but the account has always been in regular use and I was preparing to release an app last week. Now all my work is at a standstill because the account is “Acount Holder” and Apple Turkey Support team states that this account will never be reopened and that there is no support service for Developer account in Turkey. I asked for support for the Developer account globally, but they couldn't find it either. What can I do about this? My account was not inactive and I was constantly testing my apps via testflight and I submitted the latest version last week. Which department should I contact?

Unable to check for updates
Hey there, I recently updated my iPhone to the iOS 26 developers beta version, and I’m encountering an issue on the Software Update page. It says “Unable to check for updates,” and I’m unable to revert to iOS 18. Is this a temporary problem? Will I be able to update my iPhone in the future without needing to reset it? Thanks

The push notification icon is still displaying the old version
Hello guys, We have updated our app icon, and it is correctly reflected in our app build and assets. However, the push notification icon is still displaying the old version for some users. ✅ We have verified that: All icon assets in Assets.xcassets match the new icon. The app icon has been updated in Info.plist. The app has been resubmitted and approved on the App Store. ❌ However, some users still see the old notification icon, even after reinstalling the app. Restarting the device does not always resolve the issue. Could you provide insights into how iOS caches notification icons and how we can force a refresh for all users?

Afraid of not being good enough
Hi everyone, I’m not sure if this is the right place for it, but I wanted to share a bit of my background and ask for advice from developers who’ve been in the industry longer than me. I started learning to make games when I was a kid using Game Maker. Later I got into Unity and even worked a few years as a solo developer for small startups — building Unity apps, VR projects, AR demos, websites, servers, everything. But I never had a real team, never had mentorship, and none of the projects I worked on ever reached production or real users. Life changed and I moved to the US, where I had to switch careers completely. Now I’m trying to come back to software development, but I’m struggling with a feeling that I’m “not good enough” anymore. The tech world has moved so fast, and companies like OpenAI, Meta, Epic, etc., feel way out of reach. So my question to the community is: How did you get started in your career? Did you ever feel like you weren’t good enough? How did you push through that and continue improving? Any honest advice would help a lot. Thanks.

Mouse driver locks up MacOS 13.7.6
Every week or so, mouse driver locks up. The LED laser goes out and none of the buttons operate. It's a generic 7 button USB mouse with my USB keyboard still active. I do not know what precipitates the lockup and a system diagnostic request (Sft-Alt-Ctl-Cmd .) does not seem to yield anything useful. > ps -ef|grep -i mouse 501 579 1 0 Mon01PM ?? 0:04.42 /System/Library/ExtensionKit/Extensions/MouseExtension.appex/Contents/MacOS/MouseExtension code-block so the mouse extension was running at the time. With a "sudo kill -HUP 579" it did not restart. Also, switching to a different mouse did no good. The mouse driver was behaving like it was deadlocked and I didn't know the correct incantation for restarting it. I power cycle reset the box. SO: you have a mouse driver problem it cannot be just me It behaves like a deadlock, but not knowing how to get a mouse driver dump, I cannot tell what lock(s) its waiting for.

macOS 26 Tahoe beta 1 - Cannot login
A few days ago I installed beta 1 of macOS 26 Tahoe on a spare MacBook Pro 14-inch M4. Everything went well, and it looks okay (well, I don't like it at all, but hey-ho), and I shut it down. I started it up today, and it rejects my login password every time, then locks my account. When I click the link to "Restart and show password reset options" I'm asked for my Apple ID details, so I enter the correct email and password, then the MBP reboots and I'm back on the login screen with no indication that anything has changed. Guess I'm stuck now... FB18364657

Safari with Prevent Cross-Site Tracking enabled bypasses NEDNSProxyProvider
Hi, I’ve encountered an issue with Safari’s behavior when Prevent Cross-Site Tracking is enabled in iOS, related to DNS filtering via an implemented NEDNSProxyProvider. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown: In Safari, when attempting to query a blocked domain (according to the filtering policy of the NEDNSProxyProvider), the page is blocked as expected. Closing Safari without closing the tab with the blocked domain. Reopening Safari – Expected result: The page remains blocked; Actual result: The page loads and bypasses the NEDNSProxyProvider (no logs are received for this flow). Tapping the refresh button causes the page to be blocked, as the DNS Proxy Provider intercepts the new request. Note: This issue is only reproducible in general tabs in Safari. In private tabs, a fresh DNS query is generated each time, and the blocking behavior works as expected. I also tested Google Chrome, where the domain is blocked consistently. I attempted to filter this issue via Content Filter, but the only connection received by NEFilterDataProvider is for com.apple.Safari.SearchHelper with ssl.gstatic.com. Could you advise on how to handle this behaviour? Would be grateful to hear any ideas

IOS 26 Beta 1 Bugs Report
Hi Guys! I’ve been encountering some issues while testing the latest iOS beta. Is anyone else experiencing similar bugs? Test environment: Device enrolled in iOS 26 Beta since June 9th, 5:00 PM (BRT) Hardware-related issues: • The device is overheating during routine tasks, especially when screen brightness is set to maximum. • Battery life has dropped significantly — approximately 20% to 30% shorter compared to iOS 18.5 UX/UI issues: • Scrollbars occasionally behave erratically in some apps — scrolling leads to empty areas or becomes unresponsive. • When opening a new tab in Safari, the app sometimes freezes and requires a force restart. • The Control Center is difficult to interact with due to excessive transparency, which gives the impression that the icons are scattered without visual hierarchy.

Swift Form on iOS
I am new to swift (developer from long ago) and have not been able to resolve an issue with IOS - I am building a text entry box with save / cancel buttons at bottom and a texteditor above all within a fixed size frame. It's all OK on macOS but when I try iOS the space taken by the form weirdly expands (beyond the size of the text editor) and end up pushing the save /cancel buttons below outside view. An extract of the code is here. I have tried all sorts of things like setting frame sizes, line limits, spacers, scrolling disable, but I can't stop the behaviour. Any ideas. Apologies if this is well known or my issue due to inexperience I just can't resolve it. private func editSource(in geometry: GeometryProxy) -> some View { NavigationStack{ Form { Section(header: Text("Source Name")) { TextEditor(text: $newSourceName) .font(.title3) .padding(5) .background( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10) .fill(.background) ) .textFieldStyle(PlainTextFieldStyle()) .frame(height: 50) .foregroundColor(.primary) .focused($isSourceFocused) } } HStack { Button("Save") { events[eventIndex].source = newSourceName isEditingSource = false isSourceFocused = false disableEdit = false } Spacer() Button("Cancel", role: .cancel) { isSourceFocused = false isEditingSource = false disableEdit = false } } .padding() .layoutPriority(1) } #if os(macOS) .scrollDisabled(true) .padding() .frame(height: 180) .frame(width: 240) .background(.gray) #else .frame(width: 240) .frame(height: 240) #endif .cornerRadius(10) .clipShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10)) .overlay( RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 10) .stroke(Color.blue, lineWidth: 1) ) .position(sourceLocation) .offset(x: 0, y: 100) .zIndex(1) .onAppear() { isSourceFocused = true newSourceName = events[eventIndex].source } }

«Hello everyone, after installing iOS 26, I noticed that on my iPhone 13 Pro, which had its battery replaced, the battery status in the settings shows 0%, and the phone does not charge more than 1%, no matter how long I leave it plugged in. The same problem is observed on iPhones 14 and lower where the battery (FB18154101) was replaced.»

unable to find module dependency : 'minizip'
I downloaded Xcode Beta 26 and built the POS code repository project. However, an error appeared: unable to find the module dependency 'minizip'. No changes have been made to the repository since upgrading to iOS 18.0. Is this a new issue with Xcode 26, and what are the resolution steps?

I noticed that the Uber Driver app is able to get location in background without the permissions (How?)
The Uber Driver app is able to get background location and there’s no way to turn it off from settings. Unlike other apps where there’s always an option to turn off background location from settings. Is this a bug or special treatment for big companies? this matters to me because we’re in a similar business but our app has to request background permissions, explicitly. I am attaching both of the screenshots here for you to compare and see. Please note that I verified personally that Uber Driver app is able to get background location.

Decode errors, even on "Hello, world!" - Mac
This wasn't happening until I updated Xcode to 16.2 (I'm using Sequoia 15.2). When I run any Mac app, I get these errors: Can't find or decode reasons Failed to get or decode unavailable reasons Can't find or decode disabled use cases I even got these errors running "Hello, world" which tells me that either I need to reinstall or there is a bug. Thanks for any help, -Ashley

Universal link only on subdomain not on top level domain
In our iOS app we have added example.com in associated domains from the very beginning With no AASA file hosted at example.com domain Now we need a subdomain app.example.com to be intercepted in our app, so for the same, we are thinking to host AASA at app.example.com and add app.example.com in associated domains too. so my question is will hosting AASA at sub domain works? If yes, will it affect older apps where app.example.com is not handled. In short we only want the links with app.example.com to be open in our app not the example.com links
