Unexpected lifecycle callback sequence when pressing the top button to put iPad to sleep on iPadOS 27 beta
Hello, I found a difference in application lifecycle behavior between iPadOS 26.5 and iPadOS 27 beta when the app is running in the foreground and the iPad top button is pressed to put the device into sleep. Test condition Device: iPad App state: app is running in foreground (active) Action: press the top button once to put the device to sleep Observed via UIApplicationDelegate lifecycle callbacks Observed behavior iPadOS 26.5 The following callbacks are called in this order: applicationWillResignActive applicationDidEnterBackground iPadOS 27 beta The following callbacks are called in this order: applicationWillResignActive applicationDidBecomeActive applicationWillResignActive applicationDidEnterBackground Expected behavior I expected the lifecycle sequence on iPadOS 27 beta to be the same as, or at least consistent with, iPadOS 26.5 when the device is put to sleep from the foreground app state. In particular, I did not expect applicationDidBecomeActive to be called during the transition to sleep/background. Question Is this changed behavior expected in iPadOS 27 beta, or could this be a bug in the beta? If this is expected, could you clarify the intended lifecycle behavior when the top button is pressed and the device transitions to sleep? Thank you.

The "Always/Never Allow" Loop (Highlights the missing middle ground)
Hey everyone,I’m running into a deeply frustrating structural bug with the redesigned Screen Time menus in the iOS beta, and I wanted to see if anyone else has found a workaround (or is facing the same thing).In previous iOS versions, if a site was blocked by the filter, you could hit "Allow Website," enter your code, and go on with your day. It didn't permanently log itself into your settings.In this beta, the system acts like a strict binary engine. The second you manually approve a site or click "Allow Anyway," that URL is permanently added to a list. There is no swipe-to-delete option anymore. You are completely locked into either choosing "Always Allow" or "Never Allow" for that URL. There is literally no middle ground or way to just remove it from the menu entirely.To make it worse, I have tried literally everything: disabling Screen Time, turning off tracking, and I even went as far as doing a full Reset All Settings. Guess what? The list was still there. It seems to be pulling straight from an iCloud ghost-sync loop that ignores local device overrides.Has anyone successfully forced these URLs to delete, or are we completely at the mercy of Apple patching this database design flaw in a future beta build?

Verifying TLS 1.3 early_data behavior on iOS 26
Development environment Xcode 26.0 Beta 6 iOS 26 Simulator macOS 15.6.1 To verify TLS 1.3 session resumption behavior in URLSession, I configured URLSessionConfiguration as follows and sent an HTTP GET request: let config = URLSessionConfiguration.ephemeral config.tlsMinimumSupportedProtocolVersion = .TLSv13 config.tlsMaximumSupportedProtocolVersion = .TLSv13 config.httpMaximumConnectionsPerHost = 1 config.httpAdditionalHeaders = ["Connection": "close"] config.enablesEarlyData = true let session = URLSession(configuration: config, delegate: nil, delegateQueue: nil) let url = URL(string: "https://www.google.com")! var request = URLRequest(url: url) request.assumesHTTP3Capable = true request.httpMethod = "GET" let task = session.dataTask(with: request) { data, response, error in if let error = error { print("Error during URLSession data task: \(error)") return } if let data = data, let responseString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) { print("Received data via URLSession: \(responseString)") } else { print("No data received or data is not UTF-8 encoded") } } task.resume() However, after capturing the packets, I found that the ClientHello packet did not include the early_data extension. It seems that enablesEarlyData on URLSessionConfiguration is not being applied. How can I make this work properly?

Title: iOS 27 Beta 4 – GFX Panic and Unexpected Reboot While Device Is Idle and Locked
Hello, I am experiencing an unexpected reboot on my iPhone while it is idle and locked. Device information Device: iPhone 17 Pro Max Model identifier: iPhone18,2 iOS version: iOS 27 Beta 4 Build: 24A5390f The issue occurred while the phone was locked and not actively being used. The device entered sleep, briefly woke, and then restarted. The panic log confirms that the device was locked at the time of the crash. The main panic string is: GFX crash of unknown type 0x80a Exception class=0x2f (SError interrupt) agx_scheduler(2) The panic initiator is also listed as: panicInitiator: GFX This appears to be related to the GPU or graphics subsystem, possibly during a display sleep/wake or lock-screen transition. I have already tried the following: Disabled Always-On Display Disabled StandBy mode Changed the Lock Screen to a static wallpaper without motion or depth effects Removed Lock Screen widgets Disabled Live Activities Disabled Raise to Wake Disabled Tap to Wake Enabled Reduce Motion Enabled Limit Frame Rate Restarted the device The problem does not appear to be caused by low storage or thermal pressure. The device had sufficient free storage, and the panic report showed no thermal pressure at the time. I also found reports from other users describing the same panic string, particularly: GFX crash of unknown type 0x80a agx_scheduler(2) Some users reported that the issue continued even after restoring the device and setting it up as a new iPhone without restoring a backup. Has anyone else encountered this exact GFX panic on iOS 27 Beta 4? Is this believed to be a software regression in the GPU driver or display sleep/wake handling, or could it indicate a hardware issue? I have submitted the panic log through Feedback Assistant as well. Thank you.

Xcode 27 beta: "Missing package product" for a Swift Package in a registry
I have a project that builds fine in macOS 26 with Xcode 26. On macOS 27 b4 and Xcode beta, the same project can't build because of a framework that should be pulled from a Swift Package from a package-registry (named Registry, for example below), hosted on JFrog. I have the registry set up and have the token in keychain. The resolution of the packages works. But when I build, I get error like this: error: Missing package product 'Registry.Package_Package.Package' (in target 'Target' from project 'Project') . The real package should just be 'Registry.Package'. Any help with that? Is it a bug?

macOS 27 beta — TCC intermittently blocks file writes during postinstall (I/O errors when unpacking .app)
Our app uses a Distribution.xml-based installer. Within the postinstall script, we attempt to untar a signed and notarized .app to the /Applications directory. On macOS 27 (tested up to Developer Beta 4), the tar command randomly fails to write random unpacked files with an I/O error; in the console there is "spolicyd[721] revoked access to "/Applications/XXX.app/file/within". It can be reproduced approximately every 4th install. Is this happening for anyone else? Any known workaround?

Unable to enrol macOS 27 beta VMs in to Jamf
I have so far been unable to enrol a macOS 27 beta VM in to Jamf since initial beta release. Is this by design? I can’t find any documentation or posts on apple developer forums about this anywhere. My agentic coding session has done some probing around in the VM and it thinks something is going wrong with Secure Keychain within the VM. Everybody on my team is observing the same behaviour as this, and I’ve had it happening across two different laptops (one of them which is, itself, running the latest macOS 27 Beta, and the other which I created a Beta VM by installing Tahoe in the VM, logging in to iCloud, and enabling Beta channel updates) The only thing we’ve found we can do so far is to join to Jamf in Tahoe first, but the problem I have there is, often times the option for Beta channel updates just doesn’t present itself in System Settings -> Software Update after signing in to iCloud, and I don’t know why it sometimes does but often doesn’t. Logs from agentic coding session below: The core log evidence This is the whole causal chain, from the 27 guest's unified log, inside 370 microseconds. Innermost failure first: 05:24:04.967316 apsd: (CryptoTokenKit) [com.apple.CryptoTokenKit:sepkey] <sepk:* kid=0000000000000000>: (apsd) unable to generate key: error e00002e2(-536870174) ACL=<SecAccessControlRef: dk;ock(true);odel(true);osgn(true);oa(true);okd(true)> 05:24:04.967433 apsd: (Security) [com.apple.security:seckey] SecKeyCreateRandomKey_ios failed: NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-25308 "Failed to generate keypair" (errSecInteractionNotAllowed / Interaction is not allowed with the Security Server.) 05:24:04.967574 apsd: (DeviceIdentity) com.apple.MobileActivation.ErrorDomain Code=-1 "Failed to create reference key." 05:24:04.967600 apsd: [com.apple.apsd:courier] APSBAAClientIdentityProvider failed to obtain a BAA cert, error: com.apple.MobileActivation.ErrorDomain Code=-1 "Failed to create reference key." 05:24:04.967686 apsd: [com.apple.apsd:courier] <APSCourierConnectionManager; production>: Stream error occurred for : APSErrorDomain Code=1 "Told not to connect after fetching server bag: (null) - closing stream" Read bottom-up: Secure Enclave key generation fails, so MobileActivation cannot create the reference key, so apsd cannot obtain its BAA device-identity certificate, so APNs tells it not to connect. kid=0000000000000000 means there is no key id at all. Then every courier line reports Connected on 0 interfaces, and mdmclient sets its PushWakeTopics only to get Connection Invalid for service com.apple.apsd and tear down. The command to regenerate it: log show --predicate 'process == "apsd"' --last 60m --info | grep -iE 'BAA|unable to generate key|server bag'. New control, collected just now mac26 happened to be running, so I got the comparison. macOS 26.6 (25G72) guest, same host, same network, 3 days uptime: BAA_FAILURES: 0 SEPKEY_FAILURES: 0 APNS_SOCKETS: 192.168.64.8.52286 -> 17.57.146.7.443 ESTABLISHED 192.168.64.8.52285 -> 17.253.77.203.443 ESTABLISHED (+ 3 more into 17.0.0.0/8) No BAA or courier complaints at all over 6 hours, and live connections into Apple's network. So a virtualised guest per se is fine; the 27 guest specifically cannot mint the key. The physical host, also on macOS 27.0, likewise logged zero of both failures over 3 hours.

iOS 27 Beta - Multiple Critical Issues (Bluetooth, Networking, Feedback Assistant Error)
Device: iPhone 17 Pro iOS Version: iOS 27 beta Problem Description I am experiencing the following issues on iOS 27 Beta: Bluetooth randomly turns off and on automatically • Bluetooth occasionally turns off by itself for a few seconds and then turns back on. • The issue is especially severe when connected to AirPods Pro 2 (latest beta firmware), but it also occurs even without AirPods connected. • It usually only starts happening frequently after the iPhone has been powered on for a long time. Restarting the device temporarily resolves it. 2. Network Connection Issues • Network frequently experiences lag and slow speeds. • The problem becomes particularly noticeable when cellular data is throttled to 1 Mbps. • Even when multiple strong Wi-Fi signals are available, the device often ignores them and continues using or automatically switches back to cellular data (relatively frequent intermittent issue). 3. Feedback Assistant completely broken • Trying to submit feedback through the Feedback Assistant app delay fails with the following error: 开始反馈时出错 请稍后再试。

VPN disappeared from Menu Bar
I've recently updated to Golden Gate Beta4 to test 'fm' capabilities. Until Beta3, everything was OK; now my VPN icon from Menu Bar has disappeared. This is build 26A5388g. 'defaults -currentHost read com.apple.controlcenter' output showing VPN = 2 alongside the working modules (Battery = 4, Sound = 2) for contrast. No row in System Settings › Control Center › Menu Bar Controls for VPN appears under "Add Controls…". I have a valid IKEv2 config that exists and is visible in Network settings. I've already ruled out: delete/recreate the config, reboots, 'killall ControlCenter', no MDM activated on this machine, no managed preferences. Any idea how this can be fixed?

How to install macOS Tahoe 26 on an external drive
In the past I was always able to install every major macOS version on an external drive so that I can test my apps. But now I'm unable to install macOS Tahoe 26 on an external drive. Actually, as far as I'm aware, there are not even official links to macOS 26 installers, but only instructions on how to update to macOS 26 from an existing macOS installation. So I thought I'd install macOS 15 on a separate drive and then update to macOS 26, but whenever I run the macOS 15 installer, tell it to install on the external drive, and reboot after the setup process completes, my MacBook just boots into my main macOS partition as if nothing happened. 3 months ago I somehow managed to install macOS Tahoe beta 1 on an external drive, I don't remember how (but I don't think it was anything crazy); booting into that beta 1 partition and trying to update doesn't work either, as my MacBook again boots into my main macOS partition. I already asked help about the update problem one month ago here, but nobody replied. Could someone at Apple please provide instructions on how one is supposed to install macOS 26 on an external drive (if possible before it becomes available to the public)? Are we supposed to buy a separate Mac for every macOS version that we want to test our apps on?

Multiple calls to same caller - Iphone
I'm not sure where the best place to post this. Previous to ios 26, if you called a phone number multiple times, it used to have the number of calls in brackets, but more importantly pressing i next to the call would give you the call times for each call. In ios 26, say you called the same number 4 times, now when you press i, it only gives you the call time of the last call. Can anyone on ios 27 beta confirm if this has now been fixed, or if not how it can be raised with the ios development team. Finally, i know you have an option called call history, however for some reason not all calls show, and facetime/ whatsapp calls are not showing at all. Thanks

BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING (422) blocking all TestFlight, agreements all Active
Hi, I'm completely blocked from TestFlight. Every attempt returns: "status": "422", "code": "BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING", "title": "Beta contract is missing for the app." This is an older account that has used TestFlight fine before. Nothing changed on my end, no account changes, no agreement updates. What I've already checked: Business > Agreements: Paid Apps and Free Apps both Active Tax forms and bank account Active No pending banners anywhere in App Store Connect or developer.apple.com Test Information complete Export compliance answered Build processes to VALID with no warnings Same error on a brand new app with a fresh build, so it looks like the beta contract is detached on the backend rather than an app-level problem. I've filed a support request and haven't heard back. This is time sensitive, I have a client pilot waiting on an external TestFlight link. Is there any way to get this re-provisioned? Apple Support case ID: 20000118605424 Thanks.

Problem with Local Network Access
Hi, I am running macos golden gate beta on my Mac. Some applications have issues accessing the local network, i.e. Windows app (former RDP), Orca Slicer, Bitwarden... The apps can not access the local network. And they don't ask for permission to access the local network. In my previous installations with Macos before Golden Gate these all worked with no problems. When I check the settings in System Settings/Privacy&Security/Local Network: In the summary of the section it says there are 3 (three) apps In the list for Local Network, there are only 2 (two) apps listed. The apps mentioned above never appear in this list I also removed in recovery mode the .plist-files for networkextensions => still the same issue How can I grant access for the applications? Thanks for any help Joerg

Unexpected lifecycle callback sequence when pressing the top button to put iPad to sleep on iPadOS 27 beta
Hello, I found a difference in application lifecycle behavior between iPadOS 26.5 and iPadOS 27 beta when the app is running in the foreground and the iPad top button is pressed to put the device into sleep. Test condition Device: iPad App state: app is running in foreground (active) Action: press the top button once to put the device to sleep Observed via UIApplicationDelegate lifecycle callbacks Observed behavior iPadOS 26.5 The following callbacks are called in this order: applicationWillResignActive applicationDidEnterBackground iPadOS 27 beta The following callbacks are called in this order: applicationWillResignActive applicationDidBecomeActive applicationWillResignActive applicationDidEnterBackground Expected behavior I expected the lifecycle sequence on iPadOS 27 beta to be the same as, or at least consistent with, iPadOS 26.5 when the device is put to sleep from the foreground app state. In particular, I did not expect applicationDidBecomeActive to be called during the transition to sleep/background. Question Is this changed behavior expected in iPadOS 27 beta, or could this be a bug in the beta? If this is expected, could you clarify the intended lifecycle behavior when the top button is pressed and the device transitions to sleep? Thank you.

Hey everyone,I’m running into a deeply frustrating structural bug with the redesigned Screen Time menus in the iOS beta, and I wanted to see if anyone else has found a workaround (or is facing the same thing).In previous iOS versions, if a site was blocked by the filter, you could hit "Allow Website," enter your code, and go on with your day.

There is literally no middle ground or way to just remove it from the menu entirely.To make it worse, I have tried literally everything: disabling Screen Time, turning off tracking, and I even went as far as doing a full Reset All Settings.

Unable to enrol macOS 27 beta VMs in to Jamf
I have so far been unable to enrol a macOS 27 beta VM in to Jamf since initial beta release. Is this by design? I can’t find any documentation or posts on apple developer forums about this anywhere.

iOS 27 Beta - Multiple Critical Issues (Bluetooth, Networking, Feedback Assistant Error)
Device: iPhone 17 Pro iOS Version: iOS 27 beta Problem Description I am experiencing the following issues on iOS 27 Beta: Bluetooth randomly turns off and on automatically • Bluetooth occasionally turns off by itself for a few seconds and then turns back on. • The issue is especially severe when connected to AirPods Pro 2 (latest beta firmware), but it also occurs even without AirPods connected. • It usually only starts happening frequently after the iPhone has been powered on for a long time. Restarting the device temporarily resolves it. 2. Network Connection Issues • Network frequently experiences lag and slow speeds. • The problem becomes particularly noticeable when cellular data is throttled to 1 Mbps. • Even when multiple strong Wi-Fi signals are available, the device often ignores them and continues using or automatically switches back to cellular data (relatively frequent intermittent issue). 3. Feedback Assistant completely broken • Trying to submit feedback through the Feedback Assistant app delay fails with the following error: 开始反馈时出错 请稍后再试。

will iOS 27 communicate with Mac Ventura?
Will iOS 27 still communicate with Mac Ventura (like iOS 26 does)? I am wondering if someone knows and can give first hand knowledge from beta on this issue in regards to iOS 27 that should come out later this year. Thank you.

sonnet 4.5 Chat window
Accepting a proposal in chat switches windows and no code change applied. (hoping part of issue might be chat window takes over right side rather than swapping with navigator like before in previous Xcode 26.5

VPN disappeared from Menu Bar
I've recently updated to Golden Gate Beta4 to test 'fm' capabilities. Until Beta3, everything was OK; now my VPN icon from Menu Bar has disappeared. This is build 26A5388g. 'defaults -currentHost read com.apple.controlcenter' output showing VPN = 2 alongside the working modules (Battery = 4, Sound = 2) for contrast. No row in System Settings › Control Center › Menu Bar Controls for VPN appears under "Add Controls…". I have a valid IKEv2 config that exists and is visible in Network settings. I've already ruled out: delete/recreate the config, reboots, 'killall ControlCenter', no MDM activated on this machine, no managed preferences. Any idea how this can be fixed?

How to install macOS Tahoe 26 on an external drive
In the past I was always able to install every major macOS version on an external drive so that I can test my apps. But now I'm unable to install macOS Tahoe 26 on an external drive. Actually, as far as I'm aware, there are not even official links to macOS 26 installers, but only instructions on how to update to macOS 26 from an existing macOS installation. So I thought I'd install macOS 15 on a separate drive and then update to macOS 26, but whenever I run the macOS 15 installer, tell it to install on the external drive, and reboot after the setup process completes, my MacBook just boots into my main macOS partition as if nothing happened. 3 months ago I somehow managed to install macOS Tahoe beta 1 on an external drive, I don't remember how (but I don't think it was anything crazy); booting into that beta 1 partition and trying to update doesn't work either, as my MacBook again boots into my main macOS partition. I already asked help about the update problem one month ago here, but nobody replied. Could someone at Apple please provide instructions on how one is supposed to install macOS 26 on an external drive (if possible before it becomes available to the public)? Are we supposed to buy a separate Mac for every macOS version that we want to test our apps on?

Multiple calls to same caller - Iphone
I'm not sure where the best place to post this. Previous to ios 26, if you called a phone number multiple times, it used to have the number of calls in brackets, but more importantly pressing i next to the call would give you the call times for each call. In ios 26, say you called the same number 4 times, now when you press i, it only gives you the call time of the last call. Can anyone on ios 27 beta confirm if this has now been fixed, or if not how it can be raised with the ios development team. Finally, i know you have an option called call history, however for some reason not all calls show, and facetime/ whatsapp calls are not showing at all. Thanks

BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING (422) blocking all TestFlight, agreements all Active
Hi, I'm completely blocked from TestFlight. Every attempt returns: "status": "422", "code": "BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING", "title": "Beta contract is missing for the app." This is an older account that has used TestFlight fine before. Nothing changed on my end, no account changes, no agreement updates. What I've already checked: Business > Agreements: Paid Apps and Free Apps both Active Tax forms and bank account Active No pending banners anywhere in App Store Connect or developer.apple.com Test Information complete Export compliance answered Build processes to VALID with no warnings Same error on a brand new app with a fresh build, so it looks like the beta contract is detached on the backend rather than an app-level problem. I've filed a support request and haven't heard back. This is time sensitive, I have a client pilot waiting on an external TestFlight link. Is there any way to get this re-provisioned? Apple Support case ID: 20000118605424 Thanks.

Problem with Local Network Access
Hi, I am running macos golden gate beta on my Mac. Some applications have issues accessing the local network, i.e. Windows app (former RDP), Orca Slicer, Bitwarden... The apps can not access the local network. And they don't ask for permission to access the local network. In my previous installations with Macos before Golden Gate these all worked with no problems. When I check the settings in System Settings/Privacy&Security/Local Network: In the summary of the section it says there are 3 (three) apps In the list for Local Network, there are only 2 (two) apps listed. The apps mentioned above never appear in this list I also removed in recovery mode the .plist-files for networkextensions => still the same issue How can I grant access for the applications? Thanks for any help Joerg
