What would you say to someone who is new to iOS?
Hello everyone! I'm a newly graduated Computer Engineer living in Türkiye. I've been developing my skills in the iOS field for a while now. But sometimes I get lost and don't know what to do. I've just joined this community and have a request for you. I'd be very grateful if you could share your own advice, experiences you've had along the way, and how you successfully overcame them. I'm open to all kinds of positive or negative feedback. Self-improvement is paramount to me.

iPhone/iPad iCloud is a piece of junk right now.
Since iOS 26.1 I'm running into the following iCloud issues. Contacts are not being synced to iOS and iPad OS at all, no matter how I re-enable contact syncing I can't get them to sync. Somehow, my Mac and iPad are able to send out iMessages, but not my iPhone. My iPhone can receive and sync what I've sent using my Mac and iPad Unable to save an airdropped contact

Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints using versions 26.1
I am trying to create a new app using IOS-26.1, macOS Tahoe 26.1 and Xcode 26.1 with Swift6. Is this a bug that is going to be addressed. This is in the Debug Console...Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints. Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. Try this: (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it. (Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints) ( "<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x10bb18870 h=--& v=--& _TtCC5UIKit19NavigationButtonBar15ItemWrapperView:0x115da48c0.width == 0 (active)>", "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac2ee0 _TtCC5UIKit19NavigationButtonBar15ItemWrapperView:0x115da48c0.leading == _UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80.leading (active)>", "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac30c0 H:[_UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80]-(0)-| (active, names: '|':_TtCC5UIKit19NavigationButtonBar15ItemWrapperView:0x115da48c0 )>", "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac2df0 'TB_Leading_Leading' H:|-(12)-[_UIModernBarButton:0x115d20a80] (active, names: '|':_UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80 )>", "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac2fd0 'TB_Trailing_Trailing' H:[_UIModernBarButton:0x115d20a80]-(12)-| (active, names: '|':_UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80 )>" ) Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint <NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac2fd0 'TB_Trailing_Trailing' H:[_UIModernBarButton:0x115d20a80]-(12)-| (active, names: '|':_UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80 )> Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger. The methods in the UIConstraintBasedLayoutDebugging category on UIView listed in <UIKitCore/UIView.h> may also be helpful.

CloudKit - moving record objects between zones
My app has three main SwiftData models: Collection, SavedItem, and Extract. A Collection can contain subcollections (folders within folders) and SavedItems (files). Each SavedItem can have child Extracts. I'm preparing for the ability for users to be able to share Collections with each other. Currently, my architecture treats each Collection as the root of its own CloudKit zone (a root parent Collection and all of its items and subcollections live in 1 zone). This makes sharing and isolation straightforward, but it also means that moving a SavedItem or subcollection between Collections involves moving it across zones. I’m trying to figure out the best pattern for handling these cross-zone moves while keeping data integrity, relationships, and sharing intact. My understanding is that in CloudKit, and moving a record from Zone A to Zone B would require deleting it from Zone A and recreating it in Zone B - while somehow maintaining the link back to my local SwiftData store. Has anyone run into this or know how best I should handle it?

How to change the copyright of my app
Hi, I'm here hoping for some help or advice in terms of a critical situation I'm currently facing. I want to change the copyright of an app, which was my previous app but now transferred to another company. In the Apple developer panel, is there anywhere that can change the copyright? Here is a quick summary of the app development, Software Vendor 1 developed the app, then transferred to Software Vendor 2, eventually the Client user(only paid for the app but don't have developer account) can use it. Now, I'm the Software Vendor 1 and has transferred the app to Software Vendor 2, but the copyright is still Software Vendor 1; and I want to ask Vendor 2 change the copyright to Client user directly as the Client user has bought the app. I’ve contacted Apple Support multiple times through mails. They just tell me to ask the Account Holder/Admin of the organization account that now owned the app to contact them in order to receive support. Then, I've asked Software Vendor 2 to contact Apple support, but have no response from Apple support after 1 week. My Case number is: 102708379460 This case is quite urgent for me, if anyone from the App Support team sees this post, or if any developers have experienced a similar situation and can offer advice, we would be truly grateful. Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Feature Request: Keyboard Shortcut to Move Windows Across Multiple Monitors in iOS/macOS
Hello Apple Team, I love the existing keyboard shortcuts such as Control + Function + Left/Right Arrow which allow moving windows to the left or right half of the screen. It significantly improves window management and productivity. I would like to kindly request a similar feature to move windows across multiple monitors using a keyboard shortcut. This would be especially helpful for users with multi-monitor setups who want quick and seamless window transitions between displays without using the mouse. This enhancement could align with Apple's commitment to intuitive and efficient user experience, helping users manage their workspace more effectively. Thank you for considering this feature request!

Default Browser issue of Edge Mac
OS macOS 15.4.1 What steps will reproduce the problem? (0) Make sure you have other third-party browsers on your computer, and that their names start with a letter before "M", for me it is Arc browser. (1) Install a previous version of Edge Mac Canary (it can be downloaded from official web site:https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/download/insider?cc=1&cs=426423789&form=MA13FJ). If you don't have an older version, you can download and save the current version, and then try the below steps after a day or two. (2) Eject the DMG from the Finder Sidebar. (3) Switch to the System Settings panel, set the "Default web browser" as Edge Mac Canary just installed. (4) Click a URL link from Notes, it will open in Edge Mac Canary. (5) Navigate to "Settings"->"About Microsoft Edge" in Edge and wait for the update information to show that update is complete (it will auto update to the latest version). (6) Check current result of "Default web browser" in System Settings again. What is the expected result? The "Default web browser" should still be Edge Canary. What happens instead? The "Default web browser" in System Settings will change to Arc. But this time, when you click the link from Notes, it will open in Safari, which means that "Default web browser is shown as Arc, but it is actually Safari. It is worth noting that if you start Edge Mac in step (3) and then set it as Default Browser in the "edge://settings/defaultBrowser" page, this problem will not occur after the update is completed. Chrome Mac has the same issue. Other Please see the video (https://youtu.be/ymWAanLqz1Y) for more details.

Inhouse distributions apps stopped working above iOS 18.1.x
Inhouse distributions apps stopped working after upgrading to version to iOS 18.1.x My issue all is inhouse distributions apps, when I open the application it will force stop. stopped working after upgrading to version 18.1.1. This has happened on multiple iPhones. Some users able use the application on same OS version but application is not working on newly downloaded device. iPhone, then updated to version 18.1.1, they app would not work. We deleted the app and the Enterprise App trust was gone. Then we installed a new version of the app. The phone did not prompt us to trust the Enterprise app again and the app it would open for a second then close. I believe when the app was deleted the Enterprise App was deleted, it’s not actually deleting certificates, because re-installation is not asking to trust certificate again.

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.

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?
