App development agency bankruptcy, what about our apps?
First, I apologize if I post to the wrong forum, but this is kinda new to me. Backstory: I recently joined a company as CTO and the first topic on my agenda is the mobile presence. The android app was built in-house, but the iOS app was outsourced to an app/web development agency. The problem: the aforementioned agency ceased operations in mid-2024 without notifying us. They cancelled their dev program enrollment and our apps are no longer available on the App Store. And the agency reps are not responding to emails and phone calls. My question: is there a way to get access to our application? We plan in-house redesign and refactoring in 2025, but we want access to the bundle ID, the app groups, the iCloud container, etc. We can present legal documents, company website and branding, everything to prove that app is technically ours. Thanks in advance! Have a good and productive 2025!

Globe key cannot switch to iOS emoji keyboard
Scenario: hardware keyboard is attached to iPhone Before iOS 18.2, if I setup only two keyboards (e.g., english and emoji) in the system, click Globe key can switch to iOS emoji keyboard without problem. Since iOS 18.2, it stop working, and emoji keyboard is never displayed. I need to add one more keyboard, then I can switch to emoji keyboard (via the keyboard selector).

Beta update 18.3 on IOS
Beta Update Feedback: iOS 18.3 The iOS 18.3 beta update has been a deeply frustrating experience due to numerous critical issues that severely impact the device's functionality. Below is a detailed report of the problems encountered: All major social applications, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Photos, consistently crash. When launching these apps, the screen often turns dark before reverting to the home screen. This issue persists across other third-party and native apps, making the device unusable for basic tasks. The system frequently hangs, failing to process basic operations effectively. Restarting the device is often the only temporary solution; however, even after multiple restarts, the issues remain unresolved. Significant charging drops are observed, and the device intermittently fails to recognize the charger. Charging efficiency has drastically decreased, creating inconvenience for daily usage. The Photos app is riddled with bugs, making it nearly impossible to use. Basic functions such as viewing, editing, or sharing photos do not work properly. Every aspect of the update feels unstable, with issues cropping up in every corner of the system. The phone’s functionality has deteriorated, so it no longer performs as expected. Device Affected: iPhone 13 Impact Level: Severe This update has caused immense frustration and has made the iPhone 13 difficult.

Can a Default Messaging App Handle Legacy SMS Messages on iOS
I have been reviewing the documentation on preparing your app to be the default messaging app, and I am wondering about the following: If I set my app as the default messaging app, will it be able to send and receive legacy SMS messages? Does iOS provide any SMS-specific framework or APIs to facilitate handling SMS messages directly within my app? I’d appreciate any clarification on whether iOS supports such functionality and, if so, how to integrate it into my app. Thank you!

Using txt files with searching strings for an iOS app
When dealing with SwiftUI and searchable modifier, I know you can use URL or hard code data to search when building projects in Xcode. I am looking to see if you can use a txt file as a way or storing string data of lists to search from when your device is offline when using the search modifier. Then when connected to internet you can update the search with url connection that then updates the txt file so you can do new searches the next time you are offline again. Is this something that is possible?

CoreAudio: Audio Output Device Stopped Error since macOS 15
Hello! I used the Apple CA Playthrough example code that pipes audio between devices. It uses AudioUnit callbacks to pipe the input to an output device, and I created a system equalizer with it - however users reported it stopped working in macOS 15. I am getting the error HALPlugIn.cpp:552 HALPlugIn::DeviceGetCurrentTime: got an error from the plug-in routine, Error: 1937010544 (stop) for the output device and no sound coming out of the speakers. The error only occurs when using a virtual device as an input, not using the microphone. First I thought the problem was in the loopback driver, but it also does not work with other loopback drivers like Blackhole. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Install a virtual device, for example "brew install blackhole-2ch" and run the CAPlayThrough example code (you need to add Mic Permission in the info.plist). Then set your system audio output to the virtual device, select the device as input in CAPlayThrough and hit start. You should see the error in console. My question: What did change in macOS 15 that could cause this? Is it something with the new permission handling maybe?

Unable to register for Swift Student Challenge Meet with Apple Session
Pretty much what the title says, I received the email from Apple today regarding the three sessions that are being conducted for participants. When I open the link, I'm shown the button to register, but when I click register, I'm asked to log in, following which I'm redirected back to the same page except the register button is now missing. I'm unsure if it has registered me, and I haven't received any email confirming the same.

Question on Developer Membership?
I am about to buy the yearly membership. My good friend was going to work on a project with me. If I start the project with the membership, would he need to also have a membership to collaborate on the project together? Really just seeing if we need two memberships to get started or just one.

iPad IOS 18.3 Beta 2 Disables All Audio
With the installation of IPad IOS 18.3 Beta 1 a few weeks ago all audio on my iPad has been disabled. This includes internal speakers and all external devices from Bluetooth and Airplay. Today I installed a much anticipated 18.3 Beta 2 update hoping that the issues would be resolved as I had been following multiple posts about the audios issue on this site along with site as Reddit. Still no audio. I don‘t understand how the developers rolled out with this update knowing that the biggest fix needed to be the audio. I honestly don’t see how 18.3 Beta 1 even made it out of the sandbox without someone discovering this issue.
