macOS 27.2 b2: Contacts app freezes for several seconds on every contact card
What happens Since installing macOS 27.2 b2, the Contacts app has become almost unusable on my two Macs. Opening a contact or moving to the next one often freezes the app for 8 to 10 seconds, with the spinning wheel. It happens many times in a row while browsing the address book. It comes back no matter what I try: restarting, letting iCloud resync the contacts, deleting and recreating cards. Once, it seemed to go away after restarting, but it returned after a couple of minutes into using Contacts again. Both Macs share the same iCloud account (~690 contacts): a MacBook Pro M4 Pro and a Mac mini M4, both on 27.2 b2 (26B5091g). Reported as FB24928119. Technical details All 18 Contacts_*.spin reports show the main thread blocked in CNCDContactFetcher withLockedContext_fetchPosterData, waiting on a synchronous XPC call to com.apple.contacts.poster.api. That service is postersyncd, which syncs Contact Posters. The kernel kills postersyncd with exceeded mem limit: InactiveHard 20 MB (fatal) at 30–35 MB. launchd relaunches it every ~10 s: 74 kills in 26 h on one Mac, 54 in 24 h on the other. log stream --level debug shows the same sequence on every relaunch: START: Background cleanup → Potential cleanup for missingLocalContactIdentifiers → FetchingContacts → killed within the same second. The cleanup never finishes, so it restarts forever. The poster store (group.com.apple.contacts/ContactsMetadata) is ~85 MB, with blobs of up to 9 MB each. The memory limit stays InactiveHard even while Contacts is frontmost. Moving the poster store aside doesn't help: iCloud rebuilds it in ~25 s. Posters deleted from iOS or iCloud.com get a deletion date but are never purged. Question: Has anyone else seen this on 27.2 beta? Is there a way to reset the Contact Posters data stored in iCloud?

CTCellularPlanStatus.getTokenWithCompletion Returns Nil Token and Nil Error When Multiple SIM Profiles Are Configured but Only One Subscription Is Active
Problem: CTCellularPlanStatus.getTokenWithCompletion Returns Nil Token and Nil Error When Multiple SIM Profiles Are Configured but Only One Subscription Is Active Environment: Device: iPhone 15 Pro iOS: 27.0 Capability: com.apple.developer.upi-device-validation Frameworks: CoreTelephony, MessageUI Reproduced in both production app and standalone Objective-C sample app Issue: After successful UPI verification SMS submission, setUPIVerificationCodeSendCompletion returns YES, but CTCellularPlanStatus.getTokenWithCompletion returns: Token = nil Error = nil Code: [messageController setUPIVerificationCodeSendCompletion:^(BOOL result) { if (result) { [CTCellularPlanStatus getTokenWithCompletion:^(NSString *token, NSError *error) { NSLog(@"Token = %@", token); NSLog(@"Error = %@", error); }]; } }]; Observed Behavior: The behavior appears to depend on the SIM profile configuration: Scenario 1 Device has only a single SIM profile configured: Physical SIM only, or eSIM only Result: Token is returned successfully. Scenario 2 Device has both Physical SIM and eSIM profiles configured and both are active. Result: Token is returned successfully. Scenario 3 The device is configured with both a Physical SIM profile and an eSIM profile; however, only one subscription is active: Physical SIM active, eSIM disabled, or eSIM active while the Physical SIM is removed or unavailable (displayed as "No SIM" in Settings) Observed Result: Token = nil Error = nil Summary of Observed Behavior Token retrieval succeeds in the following configurations: Device provisioned with a single SIM profile (Physical SIM only or eSIM only). Device provisioned with both Physical SIM and eSIM profiles, with both subscriptions active. Token retrieval consistently fails in the following configuration: Device provisioned with both Physical SIM and eSIM profiles, but only one subscription is active. This behavior appears reproducible and suggests a potential issue related to subscriber resolution when a dual-SIM device contains multiple SIM profiles but only a single active subscription. The API does not provide an error indicating why token generation or retrieval failed.

Urgent — Apple Developer Membership Activation
Hi, I’m still waiting for my Apple Developer Program membership to be activated, and I urgently need access to submit my game before September 29. I already completed the payment, and my order D005266177 is still showing as being processed. Could you please check the status of my order and help me activate my membership as soon as possible? I would really appreciate your help, as I have a submission deadline on September 29. Thank you!

Speak Selection feature
I'm running the latest beta 27.2 (26B5086k) on a 2022 Mac Studio M1 Max, and I'm experiencing a new issue. I do a lot of writing, dictating, and reading, so I frequently use the text-to-speech feature. After the recent update, my shortcut for "Speak Selection" stopped working. I tried restarting the machine, but it still won't read the selected text. I also attempted to adjust the settings, but the system settings froze. Also its not even loading the controller. Any help getting this feature working again would be greatly appreciated!

TGOnDeviceInferenceProviderServi consuming increasing RAM despite Apple Intelligence fully disabled (iOS 27.0, 24A437) — recurring memory pressure
Date Free RAM at event TGOnDeviceInferenceProviderServi usage Sep 17 ~50 MB ~395 MB Sep 19 ~1.46 GB not in top processes Sep 20–22 ~215–246 MB not in top processes Sep 24 ~28 MB ~480 MB (highest so far) The pattern: the process appears to accumulate memory over ~3-5 days, then either gets cleared (reboot?) or briefly disappears from the top consumers, only to reappear and grow even larger than before. This has led to multiple Jetsam kill events (system processes like FindingUI, tipsd, cryptexd being terminated due to memory pressure) and noticeable UI lag when swiping between Home Screen pages / opening the App Switcher. Steps already taken (no lasting effect): • Confirmed Apple Intelligence + all related sub-toggles (Priority Notifications, Siri Suggestions per-app) are off • Multiple reboots (temporarily clears the issue, recurs within days) • Uninstalled unrelated resource-heavy apps (unrelated, but ruled out as a contributing factor) • Submitted Jetsam reports via Feedback Assistant (no response, as expected for that channel) Question: Has anyone else seen TGOnDeviceInferenceProviderServi retaining/growing memory usage on iOS 27.0 even with Apple Intelligence disabled? Is this a known on-device model caching issue, and is there a way to force it to release memory without a full reboot?

Developer Account not activated after payment (More than 48 hours
Subject: Developer Account not activated after payment (More than 48 hours) Hello everyone, I registered for an Apple Developer Account and the enrollment fee was successfully deducted from my card on the 15th of this month. Although the confirmation page mentioned that activation usually takes up to 48 hours, my account is still not activated yet. I have already submitted a request/email to Apple Developer Support, but I haven't received a response so far. Is this delay normal, or is there a specific step I should take to expedite the process? Thank you in advance for your assistance!

Subject: Address Verification Failing During Account Holder Transfer
Hi, I am currently trying to accept an Account Holder transfer for our Apple Developer account. My ID verification has already been completed successfully in the Apple Developer app. The issue is with the address verification step. I receive an “Action not allowed” error when I try to continue. I have already tried: The business address used for our Apple Developer account registration. My current personal residential address. A previous personal residential address linked to my Apple Account. None of these addresses are being accepted, even though my ID verification is successful. Has anyone experienced this issue before, or does anyone know what Apple specifically validates the address against during an Account Holder transfer? This is currently preventing us from completing the transfer and is blocking an App Store submission. Thank you.

Siri is far behind current AI assistants. Any roadmap for real improvements?
I use Siri daily on iPhone and Mac, and it fails at basic things: It doesn't understand follow-up questions or context. For most questions it just shows web results instead of answering. It misunderstands simple requests, and I have to repeat them. It can't chain two actions in one request. Meanwhile, other AI assistants handle all of this without problems. As a developer and daily user, I would like to know: Is there a public roadmap for Siri improvements? Will developers get better APIs to make Siri useful inside our apps (beyond App Intents)?

MacOS 27 Open Gate
Heads up if you're on the fence — Golden Gate is straight up not playing nice with Premiere Pro yet. I updated for testing content and immediately regretted it: crashes on launch, choppy playback, exports failing halfway. No word from Adobe on a fix. If Premiere's part of your workflow (editors, this means you), hold off on updating until they patch it. Not worth breaking your pipeline for a few UI tweaks.

iPhone 17 Pro Max Freezes When Loading Video Previews After Updating to iOS 27
你好,我想报告更新到 iOS 27 后出现的兼容性问题。 我使用的是iPhone 17 Pro Max。更新到 iOS 27 后,我在访问某个第三方视频网站时遇到了严重的冻结问题。 浏览网站时不小心点击了视频缩略图,缩略图顶部会出现一个灰色加载条。加载完成后,会自动弹出视频预览,整个设备随后完全失去响应。唯一的恢复方法是强制重启iPhone。该期大约有10次尝试中能重现8到9次。 这个问题在升级到 iOS 27 之前没有出现。 我还有iPhone XR和iPad。在这些设备上访问同一个网站时,一切正常,视频预览也不会让设备卡死。 我还用iPhone 17 Pro Max上的其他浏览器测试了同一网站,设备依然无响应。不过,到目前为止我在测试其他视频网站时还没遇到过同样的问题。 目前我无法判断这是我设备特有的问题,还是网站兼容性问题,还是iOS 27或WebKit的问题。 我希望苹果能调查并记录这个问题。如果需要更多信息或确切的网站网址以便调查,我可以通过合适的支持渠道提供。 如果苹果社区有人在升级到 iOS 27 后遇到类似问题,欢迎分享你的经历或任何可能原因的信息。 谢谢。
