i0S26 issue with CarPlay
I just upgraded to iOS 26.0 Now when I use car play, the text messages do not show up, only the notification tone on my phone alarms. So now when I get texts while driving, I need to read my phone to read the text. I tried all the solutions within settings but this is a BIG DRAWBACK compared to the old iOS.

Joining developer program
Hi everyone, It’s been almost three weeks, and I’m still waiting for a reply about my subscription to the Apple Developer Program, but I haven’t received anything. I replied to the email three days ago and got no response. I tried again by requesting the subscription two days ago, but all I received was an automated message saying they would reply within two business days. What I did exactly: I went to my Apple Developer account, clicked on Subscriptions, and entered my card details. They sent me an email saying they are preparing my order, but nothing else. Has anyone else had the same issue with Apple Developer support? Regards,

Persistent Remote Access or Network Manipulation? Technical Findings and Questionsh
Hi all, I’m not a developer, but I’m hoping someone with iOS system or network experience can help me understand some very persistent and unusual behavior on my iPhone. I’ve gathered system logs and app-level diagnostics and would really appreciate insight from anyone familiar with daemons, VPN tunnels, or MDM behavior on Apple platforms. Summary of Issues Over Time March 2025: Most apps begin logging out automatically when closed April 2025: Passwords across apps and browsers begin failing May–June 2025: Gmail password reset emails stop arriving (even though other email works) These symptoms suggest something affecting secure sessions, DNS routing, or background data handling. I began running diagnostics and found unexpected system and network behaviors: Examples: com.apple.mobile.lockdown.remote.trusted file_relay.shim.remote pcapd.shim.remote webinspector.shim.remote bluetooth.BTPacketLogger.shim.remote On a normal, non-jailbroken device, I wouldn't expect so many .shim.remote or .diagnostic services to be active. Is this expected on iOS 18.5? The binary /usr/sbin/scutil appears to be missing. This breaks commands like: scutil --dns scutil --proxy scutil --nc list On a standard iOS device, is it even possible for scutil to be removed or disabled? App Behavior and Config Locking (Cloudflare WARP Log) From the logs of the Cloudflare WARP app (not enterprise-managed): The app repeatedly forces VPN tunnels to reconnect or restart by injecting dummy URLs (force OS to restart the network extension process). It tries to load policy configuration from MDM and Teams APIs (even though no MDM appears in Settings). Many config items are marked as: locked: true, visible: true including: DNS logs Fallback DNS Trusted WiFi settings The account is labeled as: WarpAccountRole.child which may explain some restrictions — but I’ve never set this manually. This seems more advanced than what the standard WARP app does. Could a provisioning profile or side-loaded config be applying these? Key Questions for the Community Are ~50 remote diagnostic services (.shim.remote) normal on iOS 18.5 stock devices? Could a VPN app (e.g. WARP) or hidden config enforce flow-switching across interfaces like ipsec, awdl, and pdp_ip, even when not visibly active? Can a provisioning profile or managed config enable services like file_relay, pcapd, or webinspector silently — without any visible MDM profile? Has anyone seen scutil or other network tools missing on a stock iPhone? What could cause this? Does WARP in MASQUE mode normally lock DNS settings and force tunnel restarts — or could this indicate tampering? If anyone on iOS 18.5 / iPhone17,1 can share their remotectl_dumpstate output, I'd love to compare. Happy to share sanitized logs or run more tests if helpful. Thank you for any insights — especially from those familiar with internal services, VPN frameworks, or supervised profiles. get-network-info.txt remotectl_dumpstate.txt assetsd.diskwrites_resource-2025-06-25-221428.json More network info.txt linkText](https://www.example.com/)

Multipath
NSURLSessionConfiguration *cfg = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration]; cfg.allowsCellularAccess = YES; cfg.multipathServiceType = NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive; NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:cfg]; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://www.apple.com"]; [[session dataTaskWithURL:url completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *resp, NSError *err) { if (err) { NSLog(@"❌ Request failed: %@", err); } else { NSLog(@"✅ Received %lu bytes via %@", (unsigned long)data.length, resp.URL.absoluteString); } }] resume]; When I use NSURLSession and set multipathServiceType = NSURLSessionMultipathServiceTypeInteractive, whenever I’m connected to a Wi‑Fi network without Internet access, all of my app’s network requests automatically and seamlessly fall back to cellular to fetch data. Why, then, can’t WKWebView load pages? What do I need to configure? Notes: My developer account already has the Multipath entitlement. I’ve added the Multipath capability under Signing & Capabilities in Xcode. In my .entitlements file I’ve set com.apple.developer.networking.multipath = true.

[macOS 26.0 Beta] "Keyboard" settings panel UI is clipped and cannot access upper options
I’ve encountered a consistent UI rendering issue in the macOS 26.0 (25A5295e) beta on my MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) with Apple M1 Max, 64GB RAM. When opening System Settings > Keyboard > Japanese Input Method settings, the settings pane is visually clipped and scroll behavior is broken. The upper section (including checkboxes like “Windows-style key behavior”) becomes partially hidden. Although I can scroll momentarily to reveal the top, the view quickly snaps back, preventing any interaction with those upper settings. Steps to Reproduce: Open System Settings. Go to “Keyboard” and scroll down to Japanese input settings. Observe that the top section is cut off and cannot be interacted with. Attempting to resize the window or enable full-screen mode does not resolve the issue. Environment: Model: MacBook Pro 14" (2021) Chip: Apple M1 Max, 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU Memory: 64 GB Storage: 2 TB SSD Model ID: MacBookPro18,4 (A2442 / Z15H0013CJ/A) OS Version: macOS 26.0 Beta (25A5295e) Firmware: 13822.0.166.0.1 Additional Notes: Display scaling adjustments do not help. The issue affects both Japanese and English UI modes. This bug has been reported by other users on macOS 26.0 and iOS 26 beta as well, suggesting a regression in how SwiftUI handles view layout constraints in this pane. It would be appreciated if the UI could be fixed to allow proper access to all input method settings, possibly by enforcing proper scroll containment or minimum height for the pane. Thank you.

Cannot get AirPods to update to OS26 beta software
Despite following all the support information and YouTube tutorials I cannot get my AirPods Pro 2 to take the OS 26 beta firmware. My iPhone 14 Pro Max showed the option once now it does not give me the option. I get it on my Mac mini (M2). It still doesn't update. I’ve left them overnight and rest them twice. Help

iOS 26 Beta 2 replaces iOS 18.4 Backup
After too many boot loops and inability to boot up at all from system data bloating, I decided to restore the iPhone 16 Pro Max I’m beta testing on back to iOS 18.4 for a third time. Unfortunately, I found the iOS 26 beta 2 had made a iCloud backup last night, replacing my 18.4 backup. Is this something betas are supposed to do? I’ve been beta testing for around a decade now, I’ve never seen a iOS beta make an iCloud backup. Is anyone else noticing excessive system data bloating (70-100 GB or more)? Regardless, I’m in it for the long game now 😂

Glitching parts of screen since update to iOS 26 Developer Beta
As the title states, and it’s extremely frustrating. The floating bar that now appears above the keyboard is cool compared to the built in bar, though it seems to only work when it feels like it. Also the screen seems to have a haze around it, sometimes I cannot read whats needed because of it being blurred and it won’t allow me to navigate to certain things due to the haze being there too. Any way of rolling back my update and going back to my previous iOS?

Independent Technician from Chile Publishes Surgical Apple XR Restore Lab – POSIX Environment, Public Portfolio, Formal Apple Request
Hello engineers, technicians and Apple community, I'm an autodidact technician from Temuco, Chile. I have built a fully documented surgical Apple restore lab focused on extreme intervention and analysis for a disabled iPhone XR. The restoration was executed using POSIX infrastructure (MSYS2/UCRT64, WSL2, Hyper-V) with manual compilation of essential tools (libirecovery, img4tool, libimobiledevice). All scripting, bootchain traces and environment diagnostics have been published for public review. 🔧 GitHub repository (public): https://github.com/Robinson-bastias/apple-xr-surgical-lab 📄 PDF portfolio (attached): Apple_XR_Surgical_Portfolio.pdf I have submitted a formal technical request to Apple Developer Support with full rights, asking for community engagement and further access to devices for expanded research. My goal is to contribute surgical technical insight, empower autodidact technicians in underserved regions, and help strengthen Apple restoration transparency from the ground. All traces, interventions and logs are public and replicable. Feedback, validation or references to Apple restoration mechanisms are deeply appreciated. Thank you for considering this independent initiative. – Robinson Miguel Bastías Leiva Technical operator / autodidact Temuco, Chile

NoobScript : a new (php-esq) programming language for mac/iOS etc development
Noob Software has been working on a new programming language designed primarily for mac development, with a syntax similar to PHP and some aspects from JavaScript. To demonstrate this language i've released the code for one of my apps "Noob Music" https://github.com/noobsoftware/NoobMusic3 i would like to hear if people are interested in using this programming language. I think there are many benefits to the high level syntax and high level thinking, and not having to define datatypes and such. The language also supports multithreading using the "async" keyword prefixed in front of the function keyword, like you would do in JavaScript only with multithreading instead of interleaved processing. Pushing to array is threadsafe and some other functinonality as well and it is recommended to use a new class instance within each async function. I have relied heavily on using webviews for UI so there is a layout engine i have developed for native view elements in Cocoa which at this point ar primarily WebViews. The webviews can define a callback function to receive messages from JavaScript, so combining these methods you get a full fledged "web" development feeling for mac development, with HTML+CSS+JavaScript and NoobScript
