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.

URGENT: Complete Data Loss After iPhone-to-iPhone iCloud Sync - Engineering Escalation Required
Dear Apple Engineering Team, I am experiencing catastrophic data loss affecting years of documents after a routine iPhone-to-iPhone iCloud synchronization. Standard Apple Support has been unable to resolve this issue, and I urgently need engineering-level assistance. INCIDENT SUMMARY: Date: August 9, 2025 Action: Synced iCloud from iPhone 16 to iPhone 12 mini Result: ALL files in iCloud Drive on Mac disappeared Data lost: Multiple years of documents including critical PDF files Support Case #: [Your case number if you have one] TECHNICAL DETAILS: Mac: MacBook Pro running macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 Source: iPhone 16 Destination: iPhone 12 mini iCloud account: [Your Apple ID] WHAT HAPPENED: Had fully populated iCloud Drive on Mac and iPhone 16 Signed into iCloud on iPhone 12 mini to sync data After sync completion, Mac's iCloud Drive became completely empty Desktop and Documents folders show in structure but contain no files iCloud.com shows empty folders "Recently Deleted" in iCloud.com is also empty ATTEMPTED RECOVERY: Checked ~/Library/Mobile Documents/ - only folder structure remains Verified with 'brctl dump' - shows folders but no documents Checked all trash locations - empty No Time Machine backup available Apple Support unable to recover server-side backups CRITICAL QUESTIONS: Does Apple maintain point-in-time snapshots of iCloud data that engineering can access? Can you check server logs for my Apple ID around August 9, 2025? Is there a known issue with iPhone 16 to iPhone 12 mini iCloud sync? Can you restore my iCloud Drive to its state before August 9, 2025? This appears to be a serious sync bug that caused newer device's empty state to overwrite existing data rather than merging. I have not touched the affected devices to preserve any forensic data. I urgently need someone from the iCloud engineering team to investigate server-side recovery options. This is years of irreplaceable personal and professional data. Please escalate this to the appropriate engineering team immediately. I am available 24/7 for any diagnostic information needed. Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter. Heejin Jo +82 10-6879-2647

Apple Music Preview URLs from MusicKit
Hey guys, I've been searching high and low for some clarity when it comes to this topic. Essentially, what is the legality/risk of using apple music previews in my app. Does Apple license the previews meaning they are fair to use as long as I link to that URL? Do i need to license every song individually? I can not find anything concrete out and while the apple team let my app (that currently plays preview urls) on the app store I know that doesn't necessarily legally cover me. Any input is appreciated, i know this is a pretty niche area.

Getting error 'Can't Decode' when exporting a video file via AVAssetExportSession
I'm working on a video player app that has the basic functionality of viewing a video and then be able to trim and crop that video and then save it. My flow of trimming a video and then saving it works well with any and every video. Cropping, however, doesn't work in the sense that I am unable to Save the video and export it. Whenever I crop a video, in the video player, I can see the cropped version of the video (it plays too!) but on saving said video, I get the error: Export failed with status: 4, error: Cannot Decode I've been debugging for 2 days now but I'm still unsure as to why this happens. I'm almost certain the bug is somewhere cause of cropping and then saving/exporting. If anyone has dealt with this before, please let me know what the best step to do is! If you could help me refine the flow for cropping and exporting, that'd be really helpful too. Thanks!

Nomination
Hello All, I would like to nominate my app for the coveted position of a “featured app.” However, it appears that I would have had to submitted the app before it went live a few weeks ago. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there another form out there to fill out the app information for submission? Thank you for any help! Darien Pilates Mastery™

Disabling Dolby Atmos MAT2.0 with an Apple TV 4k 3rd gen 128gb OS26
I have an Apple TV 4k 3rd gen 128gb model connected to a downstream device that is compatible with all surround sound formats except object-based ones like DTS:X, Dolby Atmos and Dolby Atmos MAT2.0 . However, I would still like to have the highest possible audio output from the Apple TV 4k and not have to downgrade to the lossy Dolby 5.1 or stereo options when playing back content with Atmos audio (only that is affected since all other non-object-based audio is output without any problems since the problem arises from the MAT2.0 encoding for Atmos content which my downstream device is not able to decode). Please let me know if I missed a setting that can resolve my problem and otherwise please either consider adding the option or including me in the closed beta for the Apple TV OS26 since I heared that an option for audio-passtrough is in the works. Many thanks already in advance!

Printing Margin.
When printing to paper from Pages in iOS 26 Beta, the top, bottom and sides margins become larger comparing with iOS 18. Hope this wil fix in the next beta or the final version. Thanks.

Audio quality
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.

No such module 'UnityFramework' ,Getting this message updating Xcode to latest version
After the update of the Xcode to latest version, I’m getting “No Such Module Unity Framework” as error. the complete information is below. I had to update the Xcode and the O.S as per the Apple Requirement from my older version of 14.x to latest 16.3. I had no issued running the Unity within my iOS App till the recent update. Previous Setup: Unity was successfully integrated into this iOS app and running fine before the update. As it was working till the Xcode version 14.3, i have not changed any code relevant to Unity. What I’ve Tried: a. Added UnityFramework.framework to “Link Binary with Libraries” and marked it as “Embed & Sign”. b. Verified Framework Search Paths include $(PROJECT_DIR)/UnityProject/build/Debug-iphoneos c. Cleaned build folder, deleted Derived Data d. Checked [CP] Embed Pods Frameworks step in Build Phases Stuck On: Xcode still throws "No such module 'UnityFramework'" — it’s as if the framework isn’t being built or seen from my main project. Request for Help: Has anyone encountered this issue post-Xcode 16.3 update from 14.x. I’d really appreciate any guidance, updated workflows, or even a checklist of steps for properly integrating Unity into an existing iOS app with the new Xcode build system.

Support for 20-20-20 iOS App
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!

iPad Pro M1 unable to connect to external devices after updating to iPadOS 26 Beta 5/6
I usually connect my iPad Pro M1 to an external monitor via the USB-C port without any issues. However, after updating to iPadOS 26 Beta 5 and now Beta 6, the connection no longer works. To troubleshoot, I tested other devices and setups: Tried connecting a wireless mouse via a 2.4GHz USB receiver - no response. Tried connecting the iPad to my MacBook via USB-C to USB-C cable - not recognized. Both the external monitor and mouse still work perfectly with my MacBook Air (macOS 18.6). This leads me to believe there may be a problem with the iPad’s USB-C data transfer functionality. I’ve checked the iPadOS 26 Beta Release Notes and found no mention of this issue. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Has Apple acknowledged it or provided any updates? Thanks for your help!

Wunsch nach transparenterem Umgang mit Public-Beta-Feedback
Sehr geehrtes Apple-Team, ich bin seit mehreren Jahren aktiver Teilnehmer am Public Beta-Programm und habe in dieser Zeit zahlreiche Feedbackmeldungen über die Feedback Assistant App eingereicht – teils mit ausführlicher Fehlerbeschreibung, Screenshots oder systematischer Reproduktionshilfe. Leider bleibt bei mir als Nutzer der Eindruck zurück, dass dieses Feedback ins Leere läuft. Viele meiner Meldungen stehen seit Jahren im Status „Offen“, ohne jegliche Rückmeldung oder sichtbare Bearbeitung. Auch wenn mir bewusst ist, dass eine individuelle Antwort nicht vorgesehen ist, fehlt mir zumindest eine Bestätigung, dass das Feedback angekommen ist, bewertet wurde oder an die zuständige Stelle weitergeleitet wurde. Ich wünsche mir als engagierter Tester mehr Transparenz im Umgang mit unseren Rückmeldungen – sei es durch eine automatische Eingangsbestätigung, eine grobe Statusanzeige (z. B. „dupliziert“, „weitergeleitet“, „behoben in Version XY“) oder gelegentliche Hinweise, wie viele Probleme durch die Community-Beiträge erkannt und gelöst wurden. Diese kleine Form der Anerkennung würde die Motivation vieler freiwilliger Tester stärken und das Vertrauen in den Prozess erhöhen. So wie es derzeit gestaltet ist, entsteht eher das Gegenteil: Frustration, Zweifel am Nutzen des Feedbacks und damit auch weniger Bereitschaft, zukünftige Probleme zu melden. Ich hoffe sehr, dass Sie diese Anregung intern weitergeben – auch im Sinne der langfristigen Qualitätssicherung Ihrer Software. Vielen Dank. Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Dear Apple Team, I have been an active Public Beta tester for several years and have submitted many reports via the Feedback Assistant – often with detailed descriptions, reproduction steps, and screenshots. Unfortunately, from a user’s perspective, it feels like this feedback disappears into a black hole. Most of my reports remain marked as “Open” for years, without any indication of review or resolution. I understand that individual responses are not part of the process, but there is no confirmation that feedback is received, reviewed, or forwarded internally. As a committed tester, I would greatly appreciate more transparency in the feedback process – for example, a short confirmation message, a basic status indicator (e.g., “duplicate”, “forwarded”, “resolved in version XY”) or even general updates about how user feedback contributes to product improvement. These small gestures would strengthen trust in the process and encourage ongoing contributions. The current silence, however, tends to demotivate testers and raises doubts about the usefulness of reporting bugs at all. I hope you will consider this suggestion and possibly forward it to the responsible internal teams. Sincerely, Christian
