Hi Everyone, I’m currently working on a flow where a web page redirects to our app to perform certain actions, and then returns the user back to the browser. However, on iOS, the only way to go back to the browser is by using the openURL method. The issue is that this method can only open the browser app itself—it can’t control which tab or page is shown, so the user doesn’t return to the original tab they came from. The same limitation also applies to Android. Furthermore, iOS doesn’t allow an app to programmatically return to the previous app (in this case, the browser). While Android doesn’t have an official way either, in some cases, the OS automatically returns to the previous app when ours is closed. I’d like to ask: Is there any known method or workaround that allows returning from my app back to Safari (or the default browser) and restoring the previously active web page or tab? Or, is there any way to programmatically return to the previous app from within my app? Thanks in advance for your support!

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

Based a quick research, comfort and fit, noise cancellation issues and durability seems to be the most consistent issues with pilot headsets. I wouldn’t say there is a problem here, because you can easily throw out the faulty headset and spend another $1000 on a new one. However, what if apple can profit by introducing their version of pilot headsets? Besides, most airlines use Apple iPads for Navigation, crew scheduling etc. Make it a one stop shop. Apple already has the framework for music headsets, why not use it as a base for pilot headsets? Disrupt an already stagnant market and give pilots a great alternative. Tap into the interests of a new generation of pilots again most which already uses Apple products. Come up with a new fresh look of ‘pilot comms.’ A good idea is to pitch to the GA (general aviation) industry maybe include Apple headsets with the purchase of a new aircraft.

before this post I posted this question in Apple Support Community. I do not know this is about some part of beta. but I need to know have some way to change them in beta. My Macbook internal keyboard is ANSI Layout but in Keyboard setting input sources with beta is show the ISO layout. so I need to type `(backtick) but it show "§" instead. how to change keyboard type ISO to ANSI ?

I use other computer ssh to the mac, but return connection reset. I can't solve this problem.

I'm near my wit's end. My school district's developer application has been "pending" for nearly 4 months. Every time I call, which is every couple of weeks or so, I'm told the department reviewing the application cannot be contacted and that they will "escalate it." Apparently, this other department doesn't even have a phone number. Does anyone have any idea why it would be taking this long? They have all our documentation. Absolutely zero communication unless I call. PLEASE HELP!

Yo i installed IOS 26 Beta to see how it is, and I want it to downgrade but Checking for Updates are unavailable and my iPhone 14 Pro is lagging i have 20-30 fps or something like that. And these Icons don’t wanna talk about it 🙏

I have been trying since January to get myself enrolled in the Apple Developer program. I’ve called customer support, I’ve sent emails, I’ve plead and begged and no avail. First I registered and I was not aware there would be such a steep price point. I couldn’t afford it so I got these emails — then later when I try to re-enroll, it asks me to verify my identity, which I did with my state issued id. So it says I can’t continue. I email and ask why and get this back.. So I call and someone named Mallory who assures me she’s the highest point of escalation under Steve Jobs tells me there is nothing anyone can do, she can’t tell me why it’s not allowed but it’s just not and I’m screwed, then hangs up on me and sends this - and my most recent attempts to continue support just get met with a “We can’t cont your enrollment at this time for one or more reasons”. So I have decided to post every day, every where, as much as possible until someone from Apple corrects this. I can’t seem to get help otherwise.

I’m running macOS 26 Beta 1 (build 25A5279m) on a 2019 Mac Pro (MacPro7,1) with a single 4K display connected via HDMI. Whenever I attempt to launch Finder, WindowServer immediately aborts and the machine reboots. Crash details: Process: WindowServer (PID 1441) Exception: EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT) triggered in thread 0 (ws_main_thread) Termination Reason: Abort trap: 6 Backtrace highlights: CA::OGL::MetalContext::draw(MTLPrimitiveType, …) hits an internal __assert_rtn in libsystem_c.dylib Subsequent calls all stem from QuartzCore’s OpenGL/Metal bridge (CA::OGL::render_layers, LayerNode::apply, etc.) Related threads: Thread 2 (com.apple.coreanimation.render-server) idle in mach_msg_overwrite Thread 1 shows AmbientDisplay and ColorSync callbacks running Hardware/Software: MacPro7,1 (2019) macOS 26.0 Beta 1 (25A5279m) 4K monitor via HDMI System Integrity Protection enabled What I’ve tried so far: Safe-boot (crash still occurs) Switching display profiles in System Settings → Displays → Color (no effect) Happy to provide any additional logs or verbose console output. Let me know if there’s any other data that would help diagnose the Metal/OpenGL integration issue in this beta.

Hey everyone, We're looking for the best way to handle App Store Server Notifications in our development setup and would appreciate some guidance. Our Setup: We use a single App Store Connect account for development, which supports multiple environments (e.g., staging1, staging2). Our production app lives in a separate account, so that's not an issue. The Challenge: We have only one configurable sandbox notification URL. This makes it difficult to route notifications to the correct development server (staging1 vs. staging2 vs development) when a sandbox event occurs. We're considering using a proxy server to catch all notifications and then forward them to the appropriate environment. However, we're not sure how to determine the correct destination. Our Questions: What's the recommended approach for managing a single sandbox notification URL across multiple development environments? If a proxy is the best method, which parameter in the responseBodyV2 payload should we use to route the notification? How can we differentiate between our various dev environments? Is it possible to add custom properties to the App Store Server Notification V2 body to facilitate routing? Any advice or best practices you've implemented would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Today I updated to iOS 26 and after changing to clear mode nothing happens, the icons remain a solid color, everything remains a solid color, nothing is transparent.

While on ios26 beta2 i changed my battery for an aftermarket one. Phone cannot be charged anymore, battery status 1%. So it reboots. had to replace oem battery to make local backup, to revert to ios18. and have aftermarket battery to work again.

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.

Hello there I have got into a bit of an issue with the Apple TV 4k 3rd Gen with Ethernet . So I installed the iOS 26 beta to try out the new changes I usually do this on Apple TVs but in this case it has a bug where my apple music randomly skipped to the next songs . So after some bit of reading I got to know that the apple TV as a recovery mode which could be accessed by pressing home and pause/play buttons . After getting there I was required to bring an iPhone close to start the recovery process which I did but somehow that process always failed I tried to plug in the Ethernet cable since my apple TV is literally 3-5 inches away from my main router I even tried the recommended option of switching to a 2.4ghz connection but nothing worked . I would think that by apple getting rid of the USB ports on these things they had a reliable method of recovery in case of error because these are computers they are bound to fail at some point . So for now am stuck with a boot looping apple TV without a port and I don't even know how that too came about since the recovery process barely starts and fails. Ps am in Africa where we have no apple stores so we usually deal with our products ourselves

updated my iPhone 15 to iOS 26 last night and now when I put the alert slider on silent, my notifications won’t vibrate. Even after checking all settings in sounds and haptics to be correct, it still isn't vibrating on silent. Also the apple music search bar is a little flimsy? Merging the text and microphone options

Okay… help me out, I’m behind on the times. Upgraded to the 26 beta from … honestly I think I was still using 16-something? And I’m wondering where the photo markup feature went? To be clear, I’m referring to the ability to write on a photo or screenshot from the Photos app by clicking “Edit”, then “Markup”. Is it gone or am I overlooking it? And do forgive me if this feature has been gone for a while already—as I mentioned, it’s been a while since I bothered with an iOS update. (So far, I definitely liked the version I was on previously much more!)

Recently have updated one phone to the new 18.6 public beta and now I cant log into my Cox hotspot. It pops up asking for username/password as always, but when you click either of them to type it in it closes the window. Tested my second phone that wasnt updated and works just fine. Updated it to the new 18.6 and now the same thing happens

I'm trying to create an Apple account for my client, and I'm getting this error "We can't create your account at this time." I've tried with two different email addresses and always get the same error. What could it be?

Hello, I installed iOS 26 beta 1 yesterday when it came off but now, when I plug my iPhone, it just do nothing. I can charge it via the induction charger but I can't via USB-C port. The other way I can charge it is by turning my iPhone off and plugging it so it starts and then it charges via USB-C Port even when it starts. The thing is that when I unplug the cable and try to plug it back in, it doesn't charge anymore... I tried to put the restore mode (with the Mac and the cable on the screen) and even the DFU Mode but the iPhone is not detected by my Macbook and it's the same thing for my Windows PC : not detected... I also tried to erase the settings and content but same issue... Not charging Apple Store can do nothing because it's a dev beta... Am I the only one to have that issue ?

before like 15 mins ago, i was watching something on Instagram and back to Library to open Discord App when all my applications was gone from Library until i restarted my phone and everything was back, maybe it’s a bug or something. IOS 26 Beta 3
