File/folder Permissions Issues
Currently running 15.5 Beta 3 on a Mac Studio M4. I am unable to read/write to my Home folder from most of my applications. I receive an error basically saying I do not have access rights to the file/folder. If I go to the file directly and open it, it works. I have repaired disk permissions, checked the Sharing & Permissions settings via Get Info, and finally called Apple. Of course, since I am running the beta, the support was quite limited. I will add that I am also unable to open .dmgs that have been downloaded to my Downloads folder. I receive the "The disk image couldn’t be opened. The operation couldn’t be completed. Operation not permitted" error. If I copy the .dmg to another drive, I can open it from there.

Problems Publishing with User Tracking
Hello, I'm trying to publish my app, but I'm constantly getting rejected by Apple. They're telling me I'm having issues with tracking user data. This item has been rejected for the following reasons: 5.1.2 Legal: Privacy - Data Use and Sharing I've indicated that I don't use this data for ads, that it's only used for personalization and to understand who saves items. I added the NSUserTrackingUsageDescription property to the info.plist. I run AppTrackingTransparency.requestTrackingAuthorization() when the user logs into the app, displaying a warning message. I'd say I meet all the requirements they've set for me, but they still haven't approved my app. What do you recommend? How can I speak to a physical person who can help me? Thank you very much and best regards.

Edit Permissions | bootps.plist
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to edit the bootps.plist which is in the system / library directory. I have an M4 MacBook running OS 15.3.2 and I've held down the power button to go into recovery mode, and in terminal entered the 'csrutil disable' command and have restarted but when I go back to 'get info - Sharing & Permissions' I can't change any of the permissions. I need to be able to edit this file to create DHCP server. How can I change edit permissions on the bootps.plist?

Consideration of long-term Bluetooth behavior
It works if Bluetooth is on for a long time, is there any problem? I'm developing an app using beacon and Bluetooth, and I have to operate the app in the background, and after spending the weekend, I have to detect the beacon and revive the app. I can see that there is an app in the background, but the app is not coming back to life. How can I solve this problem? Or is the OS team working on something to block it? The test model is Iphone16Plus.

I've been fooling around with this and I lose "stuff"
I have an idea for an app for awhile (5+ years) and it took awhile (a year or more to figure out how to develop on - I know C/C++/FORTRAN, started in the punch card era). I ended up using the MacBook I had, some books and chatGPT and plunged into development. BTW this was all happening while I'm retired, included moving to FL from MD. There are times where development stops for months at a time, I've started and stopped at least four or five times on different portions of the project. I've realized that I can actually skip the user interface until the end if ever. At the beginning of code development, I did little more that "Hello world" programs to get my feet wet. Golf, pickleball, doctor appointments, etc. interrupts development. When I get back to it, my code has "disappeared", I open Xcode, open the project and I don't see any of my code - where did it go? I did find the code using the Finder in Directory/projname/projname/ContentView.swift (I'm not sure why projname is duplicated, no doubt my ignorance!) - so the code is still present, somewhere!

Unexpected high mobile data usage when travelling in Europe using an ESIM on iPhone 16 Pro Max
The iPhone mobile data usage skyrocketed to use 1GB per day whereas I am normally a 5GB a month data user. the culprit was Apple System Services General there is currently no iPhone functionality to turn off System Services Genera. the solution was to block updates.cdn-apple.com using data sniffer called Proxyman. Tip hat to the person who posted “High mobile data usage on iOS 18 and how to solve it” on Reddit.com This is something apple developers maybe should look at

Request for Enhanced Security Options for iPhone Passwords App (iCloud Keychain)
Right now, Apple’s iCloud Keychain (where saved passwords are stored) relies on the same authentication methods as your iPhone in general: Face ID or device passcode. This means: • If Face ID fails, it falls back to the device passcode. • Anyone with your passcode can unlock not only your phone but also your saved passwords by allowing the phone to go into the “enter iPhone password to view passwords” on the password app. Why this matters if someone knows or coerces your device passcode, they could potentially: • Bypass Face ID • Access sensitive password data • Compromise multiple accounts and could access all passwords I have saved on the password app. So, Let’s say my girlfriend knows my phone passcode, she pretty much then has access to all other password and backup codes I have saved on the password app. For this security vulnerability I believe it would be beneficial to introduce more advanced security options for accessing the Password section on iPhone. Specifically, 1. The ability to require Face ID only, without fallback to device passcode. 2. An option to set a dedicated password just for accessing the Passwords section (separate from the phone passcode). 3. Additional optional layers of protection, such as two-factor authentication or a biometric lock, that would prevent access even if someone knows the device passcode. These features would provide an extra level of security for users who are concerned about unauthorized access if someone gains access to their phone passcode.

App Notifications - Audible Alert Schedule
Hi all, First time poster :) I am interested to understand if it is possible to set a notification alert within an application. I am building an application on internet connectivity health but want users to be able to choose a time when the notification is audible or silent. (appreciate you can set the device to a status where notifications are silenced) Within the application if they choose to be alerted to critical alerts, I would like them to be able to choose a time period when the alerts should be silent or when they should be audible. Who wants alert on your internet at 2am when Maintenace windows open up? Cheers Dan

macos system error
Under multiple display screens (left and right screens), when a commonly used app application clicks "Window" -> "Move to..." When it comes to this, the app cannot be completely moved to the other window but instead moves to the middle of the two Windows for display. Is this a bug of the system?

no “Add Cellular Plan” or any other eSIM-related menu.
Hi, I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max, model A2849, which according to Apple’s official specifications, supports eSIM. However, in the settings, there is no visible option to add an eSIM (see attached screenshot). There is no “Add Cellular Plan” or any other eSIM-related menu. I’ve already checked for software updates, restarted the device, and reset the network settings, but the issue remains. Has anyone experienced this issue or knows how to fix it? Thanks in advance for your help!

Skip the "Do you want to open ?" Modal
We have an Angular web application which gets installed as a webclip on client iPads. The web application has buttons that will take the user directly to our native iOS application. We also would like a way for our webclip application when opened to perform some data lookups and if certain conditions are met, then take the user directly to our native iOS app. We're using vanilla JS window.open. This works well when the user manually taps button. However, this does not work when the webclip application tries to open the native iOS app without user interaction. In that case the window.open does nothing. The window.open target URL is the exact same in both cases. We tried using URL Schemes instead of Universal Links but with this the iPad displays a modal asking "Do you want to open ?". For our use case, this is unacceptable. Is there any way for us to skip this prompt? We'd like there to be no additional action needed from the user to be able to get from webclip to native iOS app beyond simply opening the webclip.
