I set iOS 26 to install overnight, put my iPhone 16 Pro on the MagSafe charger, watched it charge just fine, and went to sleep. When I woke up the iPhone showed the “plug into power” dead battery screen. I took it off MagSafe and put it back on. A half hour later the phone was warm but still wouldn’t power on, just showed the battery screen with a little red in it. I took it off MagSafe and plugged it into my iPad charging brick with USB cable to give it more power, still it did not turn on. I tried holding all the buttons to try to force a restart but didn’t work. For anyone else encountering this, do this to enter DFU mode and restore it. I had to do it a few times before I got the timing right. Plug into your Mac and open Finder (or apparently a PC with Apple Devices or iTunes) Press and quickly release volume up Press and quickly release volume down Press and hold right side button When the battery disappears and screen goes black, hold volume down and continue holding side button After a couple seconds release the side button and continue holding volume down A prompt to allow connecting to the iPhone should appear after a couple seconds, click Allow, and it’ll say the iPhone entered DFU mode - proceed to restore the firmware

We are creating a watch party app that allows you to video chat with your friends and play a YouTube video at the same time. The video is played using Google's youtube-ios-player-helperlibrary which uses a WKWebView with their iframe API, as that's the only way to play it without violating the Terms of Service. We need the ability to change the volume of the YouTube video separately from the video chat, so you can hear your friends over the video for example. Unfortunately it's not possible to directly change the volume because iOS does not support changing the volume via JavaScript - https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AudioVideo/Conceptual/Using_HTML5_Audio_Video/Device-SpecificConsiderations/Device-SpecificConsiderations.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40009523-CH5-SW10, unlike macOS. Setting volume doesn't do anything and getting it always returns 1. Users can change the volume with the hardware buttons but this applies to all audio including the video chat, not just the YouTube video. Someone found a workaround - https://stackoverflow.com/a/37315071/1795356 to get the underlying AVPlayer and change its volume natively. This worked with UIWebView but does not work now that it uses WKWebView. What can be done to change the volume of the YouTube video?

I have shipped an app that utilizes Core Data in CloudKit viaNSPersistentCloudKitContainer. I now want to add a widget that can query for the current data to display. It's my understanding you need to migrate this to a new location available to a shared App Group. How do you do this? container = NSPersistentCloudKitContainer(name: "AppName") container.loadPersistentStores { description, error in //handle error } container.viewContext.mergePolicy = NSMergeByPropertyObjectTrumpMergePolicy container.viewContext.automaticallyMergesChangesFromParent = true

I have a UIViewController that initially does not display any scrollable content, but later on I add a child view controller that does scroll - a UIHostingController whose rootView is a GeometryReader containing a ScrollView. The problem is when you scroll the UINavigationBar remains transparent I’m sure because it couldn’t find a scroll view in the view hierarchy. There is an API to specify which scroll view to use but that’s a UIScrollView. How can I tell it about my SwiftUI scroll view? viewController.setContentScrollView(scrollView, for: .bottom)

I have an app that edits photos in your library. When I call try CIContext().writeHEIFRepresentation(of: editedImage, to: fileURL, format: .RGBA8, colorSpace: originalImage.colorSpace!) The following is logged to the console: writeImageAtIndex:1012: ⭕️ ERROR: 'App' is trying to save an opaque image (5712x4284) with 'AlphaLast'. This would unnecessarily increase the file size and will double (!!!) the required memory when decoding the image --> ignoring alpha. What does that mean and how can I resolve it? Xcode Version 16.0 (16A242d) iOS 18.1 (22B82)

Given an Apple Music trackId is it possible to query the user’s media library to see if they’ve added it to their library? Something like: let predicate = MPMediaPropertyPredicate(value: "1440818675", forProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyPersistentID) let query = MPMediaQuery(filterPredicates: Set([predicate])) let songs = query.items let isInLibrary = !songs.isEmpty

In iOS 17 when you search Spotlight for Notes you can see it has an App Shortcut titled New Note that simply opens the Notes app and starts composing a new note. When you open the Shortcuts app, create a new shortcut, search for and tap Notes, notice the New Note action is ONLY included at the top - it's not in the list of actions underneath. There is another intent in the list titled Create Note which will create a new note using the content you specify without opening the Notes app. I want to achieve this same thing in my app - an App Shortcut to open the app and start creating a new item, and a shortcut action to create a new item without opening the app. How can this be done? So far I have created two AppIntents, NewItem and CreateItem. My AppShortcutsProvider only includes NewItem. This works great when searching for my app in Spotlight. But when I open Shortcuts and go to add an action from my app to a shortcut, it includes Add Item at the top as an App Shortcut but also in the actions list underneath. Create Item is included in the list as well which is confusing. I don't want Add Item to be an available action because it's fairly useless to open the app and start creating an item, instead they should use Create Item to create an item in the background. Do I need to instead create a single shortcut that behaves differently in Spotlight vs Shortcuts, is that possible?
