Please refer to Feedback report: FB19701007 The Personal Voice file created in English changes to either Spanish or Chinese and no longer works properly. This has been happening since Beta 1 of iOS/iPadOS 26. I have been unable to pinpoint what causes this to occur. Possibly downloading foreign voices to a device or using different voices via AVSpeechSynthesizer. I run an app in Xcode on my device that prints to the console info about the installed voices. Initially after creation here is the output: Voice Identifier: com.apple.speech.personalvoice.16173F8D-DFB0-4024-98CC-69D965FD96A4 Language: en-US Then I hear a Spanish accent and find this: Voice Identifier: com.apple.speech.personalvoice.16173F8D-DFB0-4024-98CC-69D965FD96A4 Language: es-MX Currently it isn't working and here is the output: Voice Identifier: com.apple.speech.personalvoice.16173F8D-DFB0-4024-98CC-69D965FD96A4 Language: zh-CN Note that the voice file on all three above is the same. No matter what the user does, the created voice file should never be able to change languages. On my test devices I reset them all by erasing all content and settings and creating a new English Personal Voice and the issue persists. A side issue is the toggle share across devices doesn't remain off if turned off. I tried to not share to see if that could be the cause, but the toggle turns on automatically. It won’t remain off.

I have sent in a feedback report (FB18222398) but I have no idea if anyone has looked at it. I know from past experiences that Apple devs do look at these forums. This applies to each of the betas, 1, 2 and 3. I have created a new Personal Voice with each beta. I create a personal voice in English. When it's done processing, I tap Preview and it says in English what is expected. But after some time, an hour or a day, the language of the voice file changes languages and no longer works properly. If I press Preview it is no longer intelligible. I have a text to speech app and initially the created voice works but then when the language of the file changes, it no longer works. I have run an app on my iphone through Xcode that prints to the console the voices installed on the device with the language. Currently this is the voice file: Voice Identifier: com.apple.speech.personalvoice.AAA9C6F2-9125-475F-BA2F-22C63274991D Language: es-MX and on a second device the same personal voice is in a different language: Voice Identifier: com.apple.speech.personalvoice.AAA9C6F2-9125-475F-BA2F-22C63274991D Language: zh-CN Although, a previous personal voice file that listed as Spanish-Mexican played in English with a Spanish accent or when playing Spanish text, it sounded almost perfect. This current personal voice doesn't do that, and is unintelligible. Previous attempts have converted to Chinese. I hope someone can look into this.

I had this happen last year too. Can’t remember how I solved the issue. I think I just had to wait and the 3rd beta opened properly. I went into terminal and accepted the Xcode agreement there, but still no go. I'm considering reinstalling MacOS because it doesn't seem like others are having this issue. Any ideas? I double click on the Xcode beta, the agreement screen pops up. I click on agree and I either double click my watch button or type in my password and then nothing. The pop-up doesn't disappear and Xcode never opens. I'm on MacOS Sequoia 15.5.

what could be the reason? i open my app in xcode 16. build completes successfully. i am only given the options to simulate in iOS 17, 17.2 or 17.5. none of the devices show the option to run in iOS 18. but i am able to go into the simulator and through file and open the iOS 18 simulator. just not able to run my app in there. my app is set in xcode to run with a minimum of iOS 16. any ideas?

i click to open the beta and pops up the license agreement dialogue. i click agree and it asks me to either confirm on my apple watch or by entering my password. i have tried both and neither close the dialogue. im not able to get past this to test the software. anyone else running across this? anyone know of a fix? tia

So I have a tts app and I'm trying to add the new iOS 17 personal voice as an option. I'm stuck on how to request auth to use voice. Here's what I have so far: - (void)requestAuthorization { NSInteger row = [self.languagePicker selectedRowInComponent:0]; NSString *selected = [self.pickerData objectAtIndex:row]; self.languageChosen = selected; if ([self.languageChosen isEqualToString:@"Personal"]) { AVSpeechSynthesizer requestPersonalVoiceAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler:<#^(AVSpeechSynthesisPersonalVoiceAuthorizationStatus status)handler#> } } I don’t know what to do after "requestPersonalVoiceAuthorizationWithCompletionHandler:" any help will be really appreciated.
