Problems with Car Software Since updating
Since I installed a beta update recently I have had issues with my phone downloading the contacts to my Suzuki Swift. Today I noticed that the Suzuki Connect App would not open up stating that my 2 month old iPhone 16 had been jailbroken whatever that might mean. i have only ever installed apps from the App Store and updates notified by Apple so why is just this one App telling me my phone has been Jailbroken? I contacted Suzuki and they have no idea what the problem might be so I’m hoping someone in the community might be able to help me get everything fixed or be able to tell me more about my issue.

Sudden Termination of Apple Developer Account - Seeking Community Advice
Hello, everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm facing an unfortunate issue with my Apple Developer Program membership that was suddenly terminated. I received a generic email from Apple, stating that my membership was revoked, but no specific reason was provided for this action. I appealed the decision, offering all possible explanations and commitments to adhere to guidelines, only to be met with a reply stating that the decision is "final" and no subsequent appeals will be processed. Has anyone here faced a similar situation? Are there any steps that can be taken to understand the reason for termination when Apple doesn't disclose it? Is there a way to open a dialogue with Apple, even when they've stated that their decision is final? Would publicizing this issue through social media or blogs be advisable? This is a particularly trying time for us, as we are recovering from a recent earthquake and our app is our sole source of income. Any insights, advice, or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. We don't violate any apple's policies... any information would be welcome. Best regards,

macOS Sequoia Developer Beta 15.2 crashing
Hi, About every 3 hours 15.2 will lock up/crash. If not present it eventually reboots itself, but if present I manually power-cycle. It happens about every 3 hours regardless of what I'm doing. The crash log is always the same too. Pasted below. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! Full crash log: https://i.ibb.co/2jtJg5G/crashlog.jpg

I think iOS 18.2 beta broke web views for flutter apps
The application I work on has a webview in it and I found after updating my iPad to the iOS 18.2 beta it no longer detects clicks properly. The same build works fine on other iOS devices not on the beta. When the webview refreshes it works normally until I interact with any other element of the application and then it stops recognizing click inputs. It can still scroll and zoom normally though. I've tested this against 2 different web view packages and different web pages and the issue is consistent. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

Would YOU use ClamXav on an Apple Mac?
Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" software. The answer usually given on ASC is "no." The answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10. OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits. 2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. The following caveats apply to XProtect: ☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets. ☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked. As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware. 3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.) Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following: ☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user. ☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware. ☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error. Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however. For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking. 4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT. 5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable. The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "****** horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. Malware defence By Linc Davis - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6460085

Active Paid Subscriptions dropped to 0 suddenly on App Store Connect
Hello, I noticed that on September 18, 2025, my Active Paid Subscriptions metric in App Store Connect suddenly dropped to 0 (-100%). However, my subscribers are still active and visible in RevenueCat and Superwall, which both confirm that users have not canceled their subscriptions. This makes me believe it is an App Store Connect reporting issue rather than an actual churn. Could you please confirm if this is a known data delay/bug, and let me know when the metric will be corrected? Thank you for your help

18.4 Update Bug
Hey everyone, First time posting on here. I updated my iPhone 15Pro to 18.4 this morning march 5th, and almost immediately my phone started bugging. Safari won’t load, neither will some of my apps that are heavily data based like Mail. I tried WiFi and data, no difference, I tried different WiFi connections and even a hotspot. Siri and chatGPT also won’t load BUT instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X, and threads are working perfectly fine. Most games won’t load either. I tried to use a VPN and it has allowed me to access everything that is down Including Siri. This is a temporary solution, hopefully there is a more permanent fix. Thank you all in advance.

Ios 26 public beta 2 CarPlay glitch
Both Apple and third-party apps in CarPlay are not displaying properly after updating to iOS 26 public beta two. I submitted feedback, wondering if anybody else had this problem and have solved it. The only apps that appear to be working normally are map apps like Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze. The others show only background, but if you tap on the touchscreen it will perform an action as if the tile/link is there, but invisible

My experience in renewing my Apple Enterprise developer account
I would like to share my experience of recently renewing my Apple Enterprise Developer account for my company. In the past few years, we have always managed to renew successfully without any glitches. This year, however, things are different. Initially, we had trouble renewing our account, and at first Apple rejected my application for renewal this time. It was a nerve-wracking time because this client was critical to our company's project. But through years of experience as an experienced Apple development engineer, and after exploring various alternatives, I finally managed to renew it. Successful payment $299. A friendly reminder to all of you: Please renew your Apple Enterprise developer accounts in advance. Don't wait until the last minute. You never know what unexpected problems may come up. I am more than happy to share my knowledge and experience with you to help you through the difficult times. Let's all focus on our developer tasks and make sure the world of Apple development is smooth sailing.

macOS is experiencing a severe memory leak issue.
After installing macOS Tahoe26.0 beta5 (25A5338b) or beta4, a memory and disk leak appears, likely caused by Spotlight indexing. The mds_stores process consumes up to 60 GB of RAM, while disk writes continue until an additional 50 GB is filled. Once the maximum is reached, the system frees the space and the cycle repeats, leading to severe memory leakage. In the available space, system data occupies as much as 150 GB. System Versions Affected: macOS Tahoe26.0 beta5 (25A5338b) and beta4. Reproduction Steps: Occurs immediately after booting up, with no additional user actions. Workaround: Booting into Safe Mode prevents the issue from occurring. Possible Cause: A bug in Spotlight indexing. In Safe Mode, Launchpad cannot search for applications, and no other issues have been observed so far. This strongly suggests that Spotlight indexing is the root cause. Potentially Affected Software: Developer-related tools such as Node.js, Maven, Vue.js, etc. It is possible that Spotlight is indexing developer project dependency directories (e.g., node_modules), which contain a large number of small files that do not require indexing, leading to this problem.

There was an error processing your request. Please try again later
Hello everyone, on August 31st, all the apps in my personal developer account were suddenly expired and deleted, I have not received any response from Apple. My apps are in compliance with Apple's policies. I then uploaded a new version and sent it to the review team, but I received the following error "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later." I have contacted Apple via Email and Phone but no one cares about my problem. Has anyone had the same situation as me, I am really worried.

Third party music apps crashing when trying to open them
I am having some serious issues with all of my music apps on the latest beta of iPadOS 18.3. when I try to open them , the splash page pops open , freezes then crashes. i can open Logic Pro and it opens fine, but if I try to open a project with any of my third party music apps in that project, Logic gives me an error message stating that it can’t access coremidi. It gives me the option to continue and then proceeds to play the project without issue, with all of the third party apps functioning within Logic. If I try to open a third party program outside of Logic ( that just played in Logic) the 3rd party app crashes. Anyone else having issues with their 3rd party music apps? I have never had so many apps in a particular genre that just wouldn’t function in any of the recent betas.

Siri with apple intelligence is not working IOS 18.2 Beta
After I updated Siri doesn't work. If I try to use it by typing I get no feedback or response. If I say 'Siri' or hold down the side button the 'animation' on the screen starts but stops immediately and again I have no response or feedback. When turning off Apple Intelligence and just using Siri, it works perfectly. But in conjunction with Apple Intelligence, it is not possible to use Siri. IOS 18.2 Beta IPhone 15 pro Max

Deleting a message on Apple Watch is now deleting messages on iPhone
Can someone confirm this is supposed to be happening after all these years. I have noticed that now when I delete the messages from my Apple Watch (IOS11) they are now deleting from my phone (IOS18). I was glad I noticed and was able to recover them but I almost lost some impoRyan messages. I did do a test and confirm this is true. But the question is, is this supposed to be happening and if so is there a way to disable only this sync? I like to try and keep the messages icon on the watch clean since when I read the messag on my phone it does sync read on the watch and leaves the unread number on the icon.
