About region detection in the iBeacon app
We plan to use signals emitted from iBeacon to perform region detection in an app currently under development. We would like to know if region detection (didEnterRegion) can be performed when the app is in certain states. Region detection must be performed reliably. Is it possible to perform region detection in all of the following situations? • When the app is in the foreground • When the app is in the background • When the app is force-closed • When the smartphone is in sleep mode • When the smartphone is restarted Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Can't enroll to Developer Program - Super cryptic Support replies
I've tried for more than a week to join the Apple Developer Program without success but with super cryptic replies from Apple Developer Support. Looking to hear whether this has happened to others and how you resolved it. This has happened: Right after I submitted pictures of my driver's license I got the message "There may be an issue with your account that needs to be resolved before you can continue. Please contact support". No further information.. I contact support, they say my ID could not be verified, and does not give any further explanation, and not replying to my question whether I should provide another ID, like passport. Now that I try to click "Enroll", I automatically get the message "Your enrollment could not be completed" - AND my dad's name now appear as the account name! Even though I started from my personal Apple Account. I don't understand what is happening. Family sharing is not on. I'm just hitting a dead end of vague replies and silence from Support, and with no actual error messages on what is wrong I'm at a loss for what to do. Any tips or help is much appreciated.

iOS 26
In iOS 26 the pitch of the sound of the keyboard clicks changes when you type faster. And the haptics have a more buttery feeling to them. Is this a bug and will be fixed. Or is this a new feature ?

Backup when wanting to connect to MacBook
Hi all, I’m trying to add a file to a game on my iPhone via my MacBook. Now we have no iTunes connecting with the cable brings up the same menus however I’m being told I have to reset my iPhone back to factory settings to do this (see attached). I’m on IOS26 beta 6. A couple of questions I’ve backed up via iCloud, if I reset would I be able to reset it right back to my current set up with the beta, would I lose anything? Is there another way to connect to my MacBook to enable access to the games and files that would allow me to do a minor change without having to reset?

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.

macOS is experiencing a severe memory leak issue.
问题描述: 在这两个版本后出现了可能是聚焦索引导致的内存、硬盘泄漏,使得mds_stores内存占用高达60G,硬盘内存持续写入50G,上述情况持续到最大后,系统释放空间后继续重新写入,导致内存严重泄漏,在可用空间中,系统数据占用高达150G, 系统版本: macOS Tahoe26.0beta5(25A5338b)、以及beta4 复现步骤: 开机即启动,没有任何操作步骤 解决方法: 进入安全模式后这个问题未复现 可能原因: 聚焦索引出现bug,在安全模式下“启动台”无法搜索应用程序,暂时没有发现其他问题,极有可能是聚焦索引出现问题 可能影响到的软件: node.js、meven、vue等与开发者相关的软件,既有可能使聚焦索引了开发者的项目依赖文件节点模块,它包含有极其大量的小文件,这些文件不需要索引,可能是这个问题导致。 ###问题截图

On latest beta iPhone 16 Pro Max
The camera/microphone usage light comes on whenever I switch apps. The only thing it shows when I try to see what app is accessing the camera or microphone is What it’s accessin: Camera and the app that is accessing Camera is the Camera app… shouldn’t it show the process or app that is using the Camera app to access the camera?

Feature Request: Let iPad set any custom date, even before 2001, with internet on
Request: Unlock full custom date setting on iPad (even pre-2001) with internet on I’d like to request a feature in iPadOS that allows the system date to be set to any value — even before January 1, 2001 — without disabling or breaking internet access. This is important for: Historical and educational simulations Timeline-sensitive app testing Calendar research and UI behavior in legacy periods Currently, iPadOS blocks dates before 2001. It also may bug out or disable networking features when dates are changed too far back. 📎 I've submitted this request to Apple via the official Feedback Form, and I’ve created a public GitHub repo to invite further support: 🔗 https://github.com/RubixCubeExpert/ipad-date-unlock-request If other developers support this, please reply or upvote. Thanks!

Files app iOS 26
Ok, so I’ve downloaded iOS 26 for the iPhone and iPad and there are a couple of points bugging me. Why oh why would somebody think that it was a good idea to remove the ability to scroll through photos in a folder in files? Where in their tiny minds did they think that opening a photo, viewing said photo, then closing photo to then open the next photo in sequence was a better or more productive way than just swiping left and right? I mean, seriously!!! And why the need for a separate Preview app when it worked fine opening files in the Files app?! I deleted the Preview app from my iPhone to see what difference it would make, but alas it made things worse. Now, because there’s no Preview app, Files wants to open my photos in an image editing app called Afterlite! I checked settings for the files app, and the only options I have for opening photos are Afterlite (which it’s decided to make default), the Photoshop app, or iMovie! Does anyone have any ideas how to get photos stored in the Files app to open IN the Files app or at least the Photos app? Just when I thought they’d come to their senses and sorted out that god awful iOS 18 Photos app, they go and do something like this! Also, can someone explain to me what the point is of having a month and year view in the Photos app? When I sort by month and pick a particular month or date in a month, instead of showing just those images taken that month, it just takes you back to the view with ALL of your photos? Surely if you have thousands of photos on your device and you want to see only photos on a particular date, it would make sense to show only the photos from that date. Even if it generated automatic albums under the album view for each month and year that would be something!

Help needed identifying commands for remote access
Hey everyone, I’m new to here and have very basic Knowledge so was hoping one of you geniuses could help me. I have had my devices hacked into remotely and monitored remotely for a number of weeks now. I have done all the security measures including erasing, new phone, sim, Vpns etc and still have the issue of my phone network being accessed. I believe code has been added to my phone or apps but I just don’t know what it looks like. I was hoping someone could take a look at some code for me and help me work it out as it has been driving me nuts. im not sure if I can post this on here so apologies if I offend anyone by doing so but I would be ever so grateful of some help. Thank you. Paul

Apple, please protect developers' legitimate rights.
As developers of an app with a free basic version and a paid premium version, we recently received a malicious review on our premium app. The review falsely accused our app of being a scam and baselessly claimed it was error-ridden. This comment is clearly malicious and designed to dissuade other users from purchasing our app. The most critical point is that we haven’t had any sales records in that region recently. In response to this review, we promptly contacted Apple Support but received only a generic, templated response stating that no action would be taken. We followed up with another complaint about the review, but it was still dismissed. Apple Support provided a link to their guidelines, and within those guidelines, we found specific clauses that Apple should act upon in cases like this. We sent another email pointing this out, but we’ve received no response since. It feels like developers are left defenseless against such malicious reviews. When we face these attacks, there’s no fair judgment, and Apple doesn’t uphold the very policies it has set to protect developers’ rights. If this continues, how can developers trust this platform to safeguard their basic interests?

Extending the display on my iPad 11th gen (2025) on iPadOS 26 beta 3
Hi! I am very new to the apple ecosystem. I saw a lot of comments online about how Stage Manager enabled iPads have access to extending the screen to an external display, and that was what hyped me about this beta. Unfortunately, while i do have Stage Manager now, the display is still unwilling to be extended. Is that a feature that’s planned to be included in the OS? Or am i just out of luck? The ipad is one of the most capable devices i have so i was kind of hoping it would get the feature. It has an A11 chip.

Bring Back Launchpad
So, I started with the developer beta on Tahoe a couple months ago. I gave the new Apps.app a fair shot.... I HATE it. Finally used a terminal work around to get Launchpad back up and running. Now with the release of the Public Beta and Developer Beta 5, Apple has nerfed the Launchpad.app altogether. Apple, listen to your customers. Yes some people really love spotlight but not everyone wants to scroll through a list of apps as long as my leg because, my PTSD brain won't let me remember the name of the app to type into spotlight. The Launchpad app had a great visual reference for those of us with poor memory function. Bring it back, and let your customers choose which one they want to use.
