I installed the iOS 18.4 developer beta on my iPhone 12 last night, and it ended up sending my phone into a boot loop—at least that's what it looks like. Phone alternates between totally black screen and the Apple logo screen every 5 seconds or so. The phone isn't responding to force restart, isn't showing up in Finder to try to factory reset, etc. My guess is the update was corrupted in some way?
Did this happen to anyone else? Any ideas about what's going on?

I just installed macOS Tahoe beta on a mac mini. It says I am not connected to the internet, and attempts to use file sharing fail. Network status says that Ethernet and WiFi are working. Any suggestions?
XQuartz, used to run X11 apps on the Mac, does not work on Tahoe. Can you do something about this?

Hello,
Can someone let me know why my car play screen keeps changing and how do I stop the change?
iPadOS 26 Dev Beta 1 - need to do a restore via DFU mode. I made sure iPad in normal mode shows up in Finder and I can see device details. When I boot into DFU mode (I have kept the ipad connected to mac), it does not show up in Finder. No matter what combination of plugging/unplugging cables, rebooting, again into DFU mode, it will not show up in Finder.
Looking for steps to resolve this, or do I need to wait until beta 2 to resolve this?

After latest beta firmware update 11.4, the screen is non or less responsive. Right before the update everything was working like a charm.
Tried unpairing, total reset as a new watch, but nothing solves the problem

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?

Hey everyone anyone having any issues with some apps not loading or opening since upgrading
I recently updated to tvOS 26 on my Apple TV 4K (1st generation) and was disappointed to find that apps I restrict no longer appear at all. In earlier versions, restricted apps would still be visible and simply prompt for a passcode — this was much more convenient for adults in the household.
Now, if I restrict apps for my children, they disappear completely. To use them again, I have to go deep into settings, turn restrictions off, and even recreate the passcode each time, which is frustrating and impractical for daily use.
I also tried adding a Kids user account, but most restrictions still apply system-wide. Only the Apple TV app behaves differently between users. This makes switching between parent and child accounts nearly pointless for managing access.
Please consider one or both of the following:
1. Bring back the passcode-on-launch behavior for restricted apps (instead of hiding them).
2. Give each user their own isolated settings environment, like how profiles work on iOS/iPadOS or even a fresh Apple TV—this way, restrictions, home screen, and app access could be personalized.
Families are a huge part of the Apple TV audience, and these recent changes have made it much harder to use the device in a shared household.
Thank you!
Hi everyone,
my Digital Services Act (DSA) status in App Store Connect has been “In Review” for over a week. Is this normal?
The app is already available in 178 countries, but it can’t be released in the EU (my home market) solely because this DSA isn’t approved yet.
How long did it take for you?
Is there anything that helps speed up the DSA review?
Thanks for any insights.

On recent versions of macOS (including current betas), when enabling Internet Sharing from Ethernet to Wi-Fi, the configured WPA2/WPA3 password is ignored and the shared network is broadcast as an open (unsecured) network.
Steps to Reproduce:
Connect Mac to Ethernet via USB/LAN adapter
Go to System Settings > General > Sharing > Internet Sharing
Set up Wi-Fi options with a valid WPA2/WPA3 password
Enable Internet Sharing
Expected Behavior:
Devices should see a password-protected Wi-Fi network with a lock icon and require authentication.
Actual Behavior:
The network appears unsecured (no lock icon)
Devices like iPhone connect without entering a password
This can be verified immediately from iOS Wi-Fi settings
Additional Notes:
Reproducible across macOS 15.5 RC and 16.0,26.0 Developer Beta
Feedback has been submitted via Feedback Assistant multiple times
This is a serious security risk if used in public or shared environments
Has anyone else experienced this? Any known workarounds besides terminal-level defaults or Plist edits?
Thanks in advance!

That time of year again. I’ve tried multiple restarts, and it still won’t load. I’m not sure if/how to remove the beta profile at this point (that seems to have worked for previous betas), given that the beta settings are hidden.
Hello, I'm experiencing issues with multiple apps on macOS related to network-related tasks. FIrst, I had problems with the network filter on Avast security. It told me to allow net work filtering, so I pressed the popup button that said allow filtering, but did nothing and gave me a error. Later on, on Nord VPN didnt work aswell, when I had to grant permission to configure a VPN. It didn't even give me a description of the error, just said something went wrong. I contacted NordVPN support, which didnt do anything exept for telling me to uninstall avast and restart my mac, which I did but was useless. Please help me.

Hey everyone. Ever since installed OS26 (and 26.1 now) - whenever I fast play any video on 1.25x, 1.5x, 2x on the AppleTV - the audio gets massively distorted on HomePods. Be it on YouTube, Difuse, or any supporting app. I even tried mirroring from iPhone
-same issue.
Anyone else experiencing the same? I noticed no posts about troubleshooting.

I'm working on a SwiftUI application that uses a couple different webviews in a tabview to render some mdx and codemirror editor.
The editor webview, the one that's much more complicated works as expected. Some errors appear in the console due to what I imagine is a race condition that I'll get around to fixing, but it works as expected.
The other webview which just renders a single, local html file to display a dead simple summary absolutely refuses to work. It first appears to work as expected (shows the same 'return type unsupported' error in the console though) on the initial request, but then refuses to process any JS functions for that particular webview. Even the functions themselves are being used between the two webviews, and they work as expected in the other. Even worse, when I copy and paste the generated JS code into the safari dev tools it works as expected, even in the broken webview.
I've spent almost 12 hours on this today so far, and have made zero progress. I've tried commenting out just about the entire website to narrow it down on the JS side without success, and I've done everything I can think of on the swift side.
To be transparent, I'm very new to Swift and SwiftUI, having only picked it up a few weeks ago, but I'm an experienced developer and every obvious solution fails to work.
From what I've gathered, this might have something to do with the first function call failing, despite the fact that it appears to work on the first function call, but then the javascript engine refusing to process additional requests. I'm not sure if that's the cause, but it certainly seems to make sense.
Is there a way to debug this more completely? Like I said, I'm very new to Swift and still missing neovim, so I'm still getting comfortable with the apple ecosystem of devtools, but I can't even figure out how to print out the return type since it fails before I'm able to inspect anything on the safari side
I did notice this error in the console as well, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it:
Error acquiring assertion: <Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "((target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent))" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=((target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent))}>
And as I was digging for that one, I just noticed this:
WebContent[32934] 0x102011208 - [webPageID=306] WebPage::runJavaScriptInFrameInScriptWorld: Request to run JavaScript failed with error SecurityError: The operation is insecure.
What would trigger a security warning for running javascript against a local file?
Any help is greatly appreciated... this is driving me crazy.
I am not receiving any replies back for a request for entitlements I made a month ago, cant get a status or a response on any post, email, support ticket I create, what can I do?
