Hello, since an update in September, the alarm widget on the watch face no longer counts down accurately like it used to. This is extremely frustrating for me because I used it for work so I have know exactly how much time I had in a particular circumstance. So for example, say I have an alarm set for 12:30. Before the update in September, I was able to look at my watch and know immediately that I had 24 minutes before the alarm, or look again and know it was the. 10 minutes before the alarm. Now, if I look at the watch face, it will say I have 24 minutes before the alarm, but it may actually only be 10 minutes before the alarm. I understand for some people this may be trivial, but it is really disappointing for me, and renders one of the most useful features of the Apple Watch useless to me now. I am hoping this is just an oversight during an update, so looking to see if this is something that is currently being worked on? I just installed beta 11.3 and still having the same issue. Now, if I press and hold on the watch face, like I’m going to change watch faces, then click out of it. It does update it. But it is not the same as it used to be. Thank you

I am building an app playground for SSC'25 where I want to use Multipeer Connectivity framework that would allow me to send and receive data to and from stranger devices. I also want to use some other open-source packages for some of the features. I just wanted to know if we are allowed to use or not?

For the swift student challenge I was hoping to use swift data, I found that since it's a playground app, in package.swift the defaults is set to iOS 16 which means you can't use swift data. I changed it to iOS 17 and everything works but I want to know if that goes against the rules in anyway, changing th bios version in package.swift? This was the code I changed in package.swift. let package = Package( name: "ProStepper", platforms: [ .iOS("17.0") ],

Other applications(Calibre, Thorium Reader...) support media overlay even if the rendtion:layout is set to reflowable. Why not Apple book? Apple Books only support media overlay on "pre-paginated".

What is the best way to adhoc report bugs in an Apple OS? For example I'm experiencing a bug with macOS where the following occurs: In home office I have connected network drives that are part of my login items. I want them to mount in Finder automaticallly. When out of the office I get prompts about the missing drives that are persistent and cannot be dismissed with one click. Macos 15.2 and earlier has, since I can recall, REPEATEDLY prompted about these missing drives to the point I want to put a fist through the screen. I'm not sure why people aren't setting the world on fire over this bug or why Apple allows it to remain.

iPhone 15 Pro, 96% battery health. It all started last week when i was still on a 18.2 beta version. I figured updating would fix it but it s even worse now. It charges quickly and drains as quickly. Randomly shuts down at i.e. 93% battery percentage. After power off, it powers up with 10%, repeats the cycle and then it just sticks at 10%. I’ll update when I know for how long it stays like this. Meanwhile do you guys have any idea how to temporarily fix it or a workaround for the issue until further update will fix it?

What is the fix for inability to connect Lexus 2021 RX to CarPLay since iOs came on the scene? I‘ve spent countless hours trouble shooting with Lexus and Apple with no solution. THis all started with my iphone 13 when I updated to IOs 18. HELP

I have 2017 GMC Sierra and no bluetooth so I have to use USB. It worked fine for years but as soon as I down loaded the iOS 18 update when I try to listen to music, it plays a small clip of the song then stops and forwards through the rest of the song and skips to the next. It does this with every song whether it’s a playlist or downloaded on to my phone. I hate listening to the radio and having to listen to commercials which is why I have a 1 year subscription to Apple Music. Because of this glitch I have to listen to the friggin radio in the truck and search for the radio stations I like and suffer through stupid commercials every 10 minutes. None of the updates have fixed this glitch. Please, I beg you, fix it.

Hey everyone, I am wondering whether for the swift student challenge I should use mock data (e.g. achievements, tracking data etc.) or real data considering that one of the requirements states that I'll submit a playground with an interactive scene that can be experienced within 3 minutes. Thanks in advance!

I’m just trying to find someone who know what the diagnostic logs o my apple watch are for like sysdouagnos and the Bridge Pair Performance obviously I understand what a diagnostic logs are but it’s looks as if I need to download them still why wouldn‘t it already be running

I have a flutter application with Firebase token and it is working in my local as expected I loaded my application to Appstore but it is not working, can anyone help me for fix the issue. Thank you

My current project is similar to Facebook In size. Is there an alternative to MVVM that will produce the same outcome without so many files. Performance is very poor.

My screen time report says that I’m on Google an average of 24 hrs and 4 minutes a day. How is this possible? I can’t be on Google more than 10 minutes a day let alone 24 hrs. I think it’s probably tracking whatever Google does when I’m not in the app or on the cite as part of screen time, but I can’t get it to stop. Are other people having this issue? How do I stop this so I can see my real screen time?

I bought a new Iphone 16 promax yesterday. I have 164.87 GB available. I'm running 18.2.1.... It says downloading since yesterday afternoon. I have restarted, changed regions, reset network settings...... nothing.

Hi! So I am not really sure how all this works. I want to use realtime data from the trains and buses in Sweden. This is their page: https://www.trafiklab.se/api/ As I understand it I should use GTFS data which come in Protobuf format. I think I must convert the Protobuf-data to Swift code. Not sure if this involves json. One file I have has the extension .pb. I tried to use this page: https://medium.com/@andy.nguyen.1993/protobuf-in-swift-809658ecdb22 When I write this: $ git checkout tags/1.1.1 $ swift build -c release -Xswiftc -static-stdlib I get this error: "error: 'swift-protobuf': the Swift tools version specification is possibly missing a version specifier; consider using '// swift-tools-version: 6.0.3' to specify the current Swift toolchain version as the lowest Swift version supported by the project" As you understand I am really not sure what I'm doing. Maybe there is a better way? Any help would be highly appreciated.

For the last week or i no longer receive text verification codes from outside sources like my bank, credit card issuers etc. I’m on the iPhone beta testing OS software…

Hello everyone, Since iOS 18, there has been an issue where it’s not possible to set up custom IMAP accounts using one’s own domain. However, IMAP accounts from providers like Strato or other hosting services work without any problems. When will Apple finally resolve this issue? Is there already a solution for the problem? Disabling "Tracking IP" under Wi-Fi Settings doesn’t help. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Mail app also doesn’t resolve the issue. Thank you for your help. It would be nice if someone from Apple could comment on this matter. Thank you very much!

I've been working on my mobile app project using Expo. Yesterday, when I tried to run the app again, the Expo Go in the iOS simulator got stuck on the screen showing "New update available, downloading..." and then crashed. I'm not sure what went wrong. It only provides a long error report. I ran an EAS build, which completed successfully, so I suspect the issue might be with the iOS simulator or Expo Go itself. Please help me out :(

Somehow sync is not happening on my windows machine for both icloud photos and drive. I have reinstalled the app 4-5 times every time same issue.
