CoreLocation Limit?
Dear team, I am reaching out to inquire about potential daily usage limits for the CoreLocation geocoding services. While I understand that there is a known limit of approximately 50 requests per minute, I have received information suggesting there may also be a daily cap of 25,000 requests. Could you please confirm whether such a daily limit exists? Additionally, I would appreciate any recommendations you might have for increasing the allowable number of daily geocoding requests, if possible. Thank you in advance for your support.

iOS 26 Developer Beta Issues
Hi, I’ve recently installed the iOS 26 DB, and I’m experiencing heating issues on my iPhone. Is there a fix to this? Also, is it a bug or a feature, that I can’t remove certain sections in the Photos app rather than rearranging them. Pls lemme know. Thanks.

Third-party apps reset and force close after launch on iOS 26 Developer Preview
Hi everyone, After updating to iOS 26 Developer Preview on my iPhone, I’m experiencing a repeated issue with certain third-party apps. ⸻ -Issue details: • The apps open as if freshly installed, showing the onboarding or login screen each time • User session is completely lost (no saved login or data) • Around 10 seconds after launch, the app automatically closes • It disappears from the app switcher (not just backgrounded) • This happens every time, with no crash message or error shown ⸻ -What I’ve tried: • Reinstalled the apps • Restarted the device • Toggled Face ID, Background App Refresh, etc. • Confirmed I’m running the latest iOS 26 Developer Preview build ➡️ Problem still occurs exactly the same way ⸻ -Feedback status: I submitted a report via Feedback Assistant with a screen recording and full reproduction steps. No response yet after several days. ⸻ -Looking for: • Confirmation from others with similar issues • Info on whether this is already being tracked by Apple • Whether it’s worth resubmitting a new Feedback report Thanks for any insight.

Mac Mini M1 Firmware Restore
Hi, After installing Macos 26 Beta on my Mac Mini M1 it doesn't boot. On the front panel there is an orange blinking light. The monitor doesn't recognize it. In DFU mode my other Mac Mini (M4) recognizes it but I can't restore it from Configurator (see print). Thanks for your help.

iOS 26 Beta 1 : Banking and Government apps crashing
(It’s my first post so idk if i’m in the right place) I have been testing iOS 26 since launch and it is great (kind of buggy but that’s to be expected). I have come across an issue though : government and banking apps either crash or get stuck on splashscreen on launch. Do you think it is something that is gonna be fixed on the apple side of things, or that it’s gonna be for the developers to figure out compatibility ? (I am asking because governments don’t tend to be quick to fix problems so i am hoping it not the latter) Any idea?

Carplay grid in list
Hey everyone, I'm currently working on Carplay intergration in my audio app. While exploring Apple Music on carplay, i found this kind of display: This is a grid of items in a list (i'm on iOS 18 when testing this), but i didn't find anything in developer documentation that would allow me to have this kind of display. Is this something apple specific, or can i achieve this ? I tried using the grid template but it's not as pretty, nor as flexible as this. Thanks for your help !

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.

An idea for a photographic app
Hello, I created a particular ray tracing based photo/video capture app for iPhone (which causes me several headaches in finding the optimal configuration) that which often offers very soft and visually beautiful shots but is trapped in the usual oblivion of apps from unknown developers. While it is true that on the one hand the fact that almost no one downloads your app even if it is free can save you from several gaffes in the early days, in the long run it becomes depressing. So I thought of creating something that could be an incentive to try the app. Not having money to invest in prizes for contests or much more pragmatically in advertising, I thought of adding a function where you can see the best photos taken in your area and vote for them and, if you want, add a photo taken in the competition. Do you think it could be a nice idea? It's true that the problem itself is to overcome the wall of 0 downloads, where your app is neither successful nor unsuccessful because in fact nobody tries it, but without money for advertising I don't have many other ideas... Thanks

Clearing an app’s memory, data etc.
My app works perfectly the first time it is used but when returning to the start after playing the game and playing another it does some random things. I figure it is because the app still retains the previous game in it’s memory allocation? My question is, what is the best way programmatically to have an app start fresh and not have to quit it and open it again?

Running IOS18.5 Beta on iPhone 16 Pro Max
I'm running IOS 18.5 on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. If I delete an email on my iPhone, it is still in the inbox on my iMac. If I delete an email on my iMac it is deleted from the inbox on my iPhone. Is this because of the Beta software on my phone?
