I am on Macos Sequoia 15.5. I plugged in a brand new 8TB SanDisk SSD portable drive. I want to reformat it. Diskutility fails in this way: Erasing "SanDisk Extreme Pro 55AF Media" (disk6) and creating "NewDrive" Unmounting disk The volume on disk6 couldn't be unmounted because it is in use by process 0 (kernel) Couldn't open device. : (-69877) Operation failed… I have the drive ejected. I'm used to ejecting a drive, then unplugging it. The first time I tried this, DiskUtility complained that all sorts of processes were using it still, after I Ejected the drive (Bash, simctl, Code Helper, Word, kernel 0). So I closed all the process one by one, until only kernel proc 0 was remaining. Apparently it is not safe to simply eject a drive and then unplug it, as Eject "succeeds" but many processes still have the drive open. How do I format the drive?

VPN apps won't work for the iOS 26 beta. It wouldnt add the configuration and instead lead me to Settings where you MANUALLY add the vpn configurations. It won't save by itself. Please fix this problem as VPN's are really important. Thank you.

I am writing to report an issue encountered while testing the iOS 26 beta. It appears that adding VPN configurations is currently not possible in this version. Specifically, attempts to add a new VPN configuration through the Settings app or via programmatic configuration profiles are unresponsive. As VPN functionality is essential for a number of development and enterprise use cases, I would appreciate it if your team could confirm whether this is a known issue, or provide guidance on any changes to VPN configuration handling in iOS 26. Please let me know if additional diagnostic information or logs would be helpful. Thank you for your support and for providing access to the iOS 26 beta. Best regards, Majid

Just a short question: Why Apple removed the "--no-pie " flag wich is essential for JIT Emulators? Asking for a friend (developer).

We have an app that uses Core Location to obtain a users GPS location and then reverse geocodes the GPS coordinates (via CLGeocoder()) to obtain the Country and City. For some reason, all GPS coordinates we are getting from Gibraltar are showing blanks for the country and Gibraltar for the city when reverse geocoded. Has anyone encountered this problem before. Any solutions would be appreciated. Right now, we are going to check for blank country and city == 'Gibraltar" and show Gibraltar for country. I should add we don't see this issue in any other jurisdiction.

Hi developer's community. So i got my app on playstore already on trying to come on Appstore and it got flagged for copycat / Design Voilation. I reached out to the review team and i got this screenshot added below , any help ? We have our app running on playstore

After checking the forum, it's clear that Apple has a MAJOR ONGOING PROBLEM here. We are far from the only company experiencing this, and it has been a problem for years. Apple, please FIX THIS! What's the problem? We receive an email reminding us to renew our developer account. All of Apple's instructions to renew do not work (with no explanation), and yet we are threatened with removal of our apps if we do not renew in time. Firstly, it should be unnecessary for us to manually renew because we registered a valid credit card to auto-renew. It worked last year, and the same credit card continues to be valid. Secondly, when we try to manually renew, there is no "Renew" button appearing anywhere, contrary to Apple's instructions. It's not in the Developer app (Mac or iOS), and it does not appear in the Developer account website. We now have only 16 days left until Apple kicks our app out of the App Store. @APPLE: We are not alone. Lots of your customers have the same problem, as reported on this forum for multiple years. This problem threatens the livelihoods of many people. Please fix this! Thank you.

WiFi networks using Captive login fail to present login screen. Network connects but no internet access. I have to use my iPhone running iOS 18 as hotspot to use Captive network.

I successfully installed macOS Tahoe 26 in June on a separate external partition. Now I want to update to beta 5, but when the Mac restarts to install the update, it shows the progress indicator for a minute or two, then boots again into the main partition which has macOS 15.6. Am I required to install it from scratch?

Since updating to iOS 26, audio recordings made through apps like Snapchat and Instagram sound broken, saccaded and choppy. The issue happens with or without headphones. It feels like the microphone is either misused or filtered too aggressively by the app, leading to a stuttering or “cut-off” effect during speech. This doesn’t happen when recording audio in the Voice Memos app or the Camera app — only in social media apps.

Facial recognition is not working with the glasses. I tried to do a new recognition with the glasses, and it's giving a direct error. Is anyone having the same problem?

Hey guys! I'm currently designing an app that will implement the 20-20-20 rule. This eye health technique has personally helped millions of people around the world, including myself, as it allowed me to control my eyesight that was significantly growing at one point. After moving to a new house, I for some reason began lowering how much I followed the rule. I researched apps on the app store and other Reddit threads, but it doesn't seem to exist (at least, on mobile), so I decided to make my own. Before deployment, I wanted to test the waters and gauge interest for such a project and platform. If you're interested in this, or just want to help a fellow Swift dev out, please fill out this quick form (I will use this as a waitlist eventually)! Link: https://forms.gle/j7vmFeGq8BffBMYz6 Thanks a lot for your support! Happy to answer any questions!

I 'upgraded' to Tahoe 26.0 public beta & since then my contacts will not synch to the iCloud. All other synching functions (eg. calendar, reminders messages, notes etc.) are fine. Have tried a bunch of different ways to restore this, but so far I haven't been successful. Anyone else have this issue & better still, were able to fix it? Or do I simply need to be patient & wait for the next public beta release?

Hello everyone! I encountered a problem, Apple Watch 10, downloaded beta version 26 IOS, got tired of it, deleted in the settings to the previous IOS. As a result, now I deleted 26 IOS on the phone and can not connect the watch with the phone.

我的app在visionos 26之前版本都没问题，在visionos 26.0 beta4回偶现崩溃，崩溃日志如下，请帮忙查看一下是什么原因。 ![]("https://developer.apple.com/forums/content/attachment/9ee5076b-4d44-46d5-b2d9-75990472f28e" title=5061754296104_.pic.jpg;width=1226;height=314") 2025-08-03_02-39-54.3821_+0800-dc8d3e0ef19b8fdf238a633f27d2d7e744fc3715.crash 2025-08-03_02-38-59.0434_+0800-d409b5d648e89b1cd4ecc176f4f53facec65441c.crash

I have been working with Apple Support since May 2025 when I could no longer access my files stored on iCloud Drive. I've spoken with at least 5 different Senior Advisors who continue to tell me that it's been turned over to engineering and theres nothing else I can do. I am beyond frustrated at this point. If this were an Apple Server that crashed those files and that server would be replaced ASAP likely in less than 24 hours. I cannot access from ANY device -iPad, iPhone, Macbook Pro, iMac, even from the web on a Windows machine at work. Nothing, it just crashes / unexpectedly quit. Please Help!
