I was wondering wether you have to create your full app as an Xcode app and then translate it into playgrounds? Because some of the submissions I have seen on YouTube are running on Xcode iPad emulators.

iPadOS 26 Dev Beta 1 - need to do a restore via DFU mode. I made sure iPad in normal mode shows up in Finder and I can see device details. When I boot into DFU mode (I have kept the ipad connected to mac), it does not show up in Finder. No matter what combination of plugging/unplugging cables, rebooting, again into DFU mode, it will not show up in Finder. Looking for steps to resolve this, or do I need to wait until beta 2 to resolve this?

Please expedite to Solve this bug , my Singpass is unable to launch in iOS 26. I believe this is more urgent than a new pride theme wallpaper 🏳️‍🌈

Two days ago, I tested IOS 26 on my device, but it was still overheating severely. Today, the device is very sluggish. What should I do? Or do I just need to wait...

I have updated my iPhone 14 Pro to iOS 26 without any problems. I also have AirPod Pro A2698 version 7E93. The new update of the firmware is not shown.developer mode is activated.on the pre-release is AirPod Pro visible if connected but no possibility for an update.what am I doing wrong or is there any thing I have to wait for thank you

(It’s my first post so idk if i’m in the right place) I have been testing iOS 26 since launch and it is great (kind of buggy but that’s to be expected). I have come across an issue though : government and banking apps either crash or get stuck on splashscreen on launch. Do you think it is something that is gonna be fixed on the apple side of things, or that it’s gonna be for the developers to figure out compatibility ? (I am asking because governments don’t tend to be quick to fix problems so i am hoping it not the latter) Any idea?

I'm getting an error when trying to login to iCloud.com. This only happens on my Windows 11 pc and not on my iPhone. I get the 2FA code on my phone, but on my pc it displays only the error. I also have checked the system status page from apple and everything is green there, so i have no idea what is happening.

Hi I was thinking, wouldn’t it be awesome if Apple had a stock app? I know, it might sound crazy, but honestly, it would be a fantastic addition to their finance section! Imagine having a wallet, Apple credit card, and a stock app all in one place. In my opinion, that could totally revolutionize everything!

I have raised ticket on apple regarding distribution problem, I want to know what is the time period in which I will be able to get reply from apple suppport

Has anyone else had any issued with their CarPlay with the new phone? My screen gets distorted and you cannot make up anything that shows up on it, it's specific to the new phone since I have also tried it with an iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 13. I have updated my car's firmware, reset it, reset my phone settings (per Apple's request) and nothing seems to be working, and unfortunately since I'm on the beta they are limited with the assistance they are able to provide to me.

Hello Apple Arcade Team, My partner and I are indie developers building premium spatial games for Apple platforms. We’ve created Cup Pong Galaxy, a 100% spatial game written specifically for Apple Vision Pro and we’d love to have it considered for Apple Arcade. ***** At-a-glance ***** Title: Cup Pong Galaxy Platform: Designed from the ground up for Vision Pro (spatial gameplay) Status: Approved for distribution on the App Store (release on hold pending Arcade interest) TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/aCBcUUJb (fully functional build) Game Footage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGoJTfUwTdg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPExWW94ZvQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJOKXVhRShA ***** Why it stands out for Apple Arcade ***** Original spatial mechanics: Natural throwing using custom hand gestures and a physics-accurate ping pong system built for Vision Pro. Innovative collision system: Each animated alien has per-body-part collision objects that follow the armature's animation, allowing ping pong balls to bounce realistically off arms, legs, and heads. Epic scale: 10 unique worlds with over 50 animated 3D alien characters, 150+ unique 3D obstacles, and 100 total levels. Boss fights: Defeat bosses by hitting specific body parts with ping pong balls in full 3D space — we haven’t seen this implemented elsewhere on the App Store. Cinematic world progression: Animated 3D level maps and victory scenes as players conquer worlds. ***** Business/fit ***** No ads or in-app purchases; prepared to align with Apple Arcade guidelines. Actively adding Game Center integration. We’ve started work on a second VisionOS game and would love to understand what makes a game a great fit for Arcade. We’d be grateful if you could review Cup Pong Galaxy and let us know if there’s interest or point us to the correct person/process for Apple Arcade submissions. Any feedback is welcome — it will help us improve our next VisionOS game as well. Thank you for your time and consideration.

I am trying to enroll the Apple Developer Program but it says "We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred." Please check the issue.

I recently updated to tvOS 26 on my Apple TV 4K (1st generation) and was disappointed to find that apps I restrict no longer appear at all. In earlier versions, restricted apps would still be visible and simply prompt for a passcode — this was much more convenient for adults in the household. Now, if I restrict apps for my children, they disappear completely. To use them again, I have to go deep into settings, turn restrictions off, and even recreate the passcode each time, which is frustrating and impractical for daily use. I also tried adding a Kids user account, but most restrictions still apply system-wide. Only the Apple TV app behaves differently between users. This makes switching between parent and child accounts nearly pointless for managing access. Please consider one or both of the following: 1. Bring back the passcode-on-launch behavior for restricted apps (instead of hiding them). 2. Give each user their own isolated settings environment, like how profiles work on iOS/iPadOS or even a fresh Apple TV—this way, restrictions, home screen, and app access could be personalized. Families are a huge part of the Apple TV audience, and these recent changes have made it much harder to use the device in a shared household. Thank you!

I am attempting to use the AVSpeechSynthesizer to include text to speech in my Swift Playgrounds project, but when I attempt to use it on my IPhone i get the following errors: It works just fine on the simulator, but no audio is produced when I run it on-device. Is there a way to set this "bundle display name" within Swift Playgrounds, or are there any workarounds? My code: import AVFoundation class Speaker { let synthesizer = AVSpeechSynthesizer() func speak() { let utterance = AVSpeechUtterance(string: "Test, I am the speaker") synthesizer.speak(utterance) } }

Anyone else's phone die after installed iOS 26 beta? I'm not happy at all. shows that my phone is charging but will not turn on. have tried hard resetting it 50+ times, 5 different chargers.. nothing.

I installed the iOS 18.4 developer beta on my iPhone 12 last night, and it ended up sending my phone into a boot loop—at least that's what it looks like. Phone alternates between totally black screen and the Apple logo screen every 5 seconds or so. The phone isn't responding to force restart, isn't showing up in Finder to try to factory reset, etc. My guess is the update was corrupted in some way? Did this happen to anyone else? Any ideas about what's going on?

I've raised a support case with Apple. Is it possible to find my support case within the developer.apple.com website?

Hello, I'm experiencing issues with multiple apps on macOS related to network-related tasks. FIrst, I had problems with the network filter on Avast security. It told me to allow net work filtering, so I pressed the popup button that said allow filtering, but did nothing and gave me a error. Later on, on Nord VPN didnt work aswell, when I had to grant permission to configure a VPN. It didn't even give me a description of the error, just said something went wrong. I contacted NordVPN support, which didnt do anything exept for telling me to uninstall avast and restart my mac, which I did but was useless. Please help me.

Hey there, I recently updated my iPhone to the iOS 26 developers beta version, and I’m encountering an issue on the Software Update page. It says “Unable to check for updates,” and I’m unable to revert to iOS 18. Is this a temporary problem? Will I be able to update my iPhone in the future without needing to reset it? Thanks

This wasn't happening until I updated Xcode to 16.2 (I'm using Sequoia 15.2). When I run any Mac app, I get these errors: Can't find or decode reasons Failed to get or decode unavailable reasons Can't find or decode disabled use cases I even got these errors running "Hello, world" which tells me that either I need to reinstall or there is a bug. Thanks for any help, -Ashley
