I need to implement an app that exchanges data with peripherals through TypeC on Apple 15 phones, but I have two questions that I need to ask for help:
Which library is used to communicate with peripherals through the TypeC port of the Apple mobile phone?
Do peripherals need to pass MFi authentication before they can communicate with the App?

I want to get Cover-Art Image over Bluetooth. From the SDP Discover iPhoneSE, it support Cover-Art Feature.
I connect and config OBEX Channel with L2CAP ERTM, it is successful.
I send connect_request the OBEX Connect, the iPhone always no any response, and l2cap s-frame response from iPhone always failed.
From the Apple Developer, it need Apple Authentication Chip.
Is it still necessary now? Are there any other ways to obtain album pictures?
Hey, I need to know how to use texture mapping for rendering a spectrogram in metal. As I need smoothens the spectrogram. In my current project I am using vertex based approach which results in blocky behaviour between each quad. I need to smooth across each qaud so that It will smoothly gradient over.
I updated my iPhone to 26 and I just went to to to see if my iPhone was up to date I went and see but a came across this
Hello,
I recently installed the macOS 26 beta version on my MacBook Air M3, and I've encountered an issue where edited Word files are failing to save. I’ve tried restarting my laptop and checking for updates, but the problem persists.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there a specific setting I might have missed or any troubleshooting steps you recommend?
Thank you for your assistance!

The battery drains quickly on iPhone SE 3. Whenever I take it off the charger it drains from 100% to 80% in 20 minutes. Please fix this bug?

Hi i had problem after upgrade to ios 26. I try connected to my xiaomi earbud bluetooh, all functioning well (watch movie, listen song) except when on call, the bluetooth cannot function at all. Only able speak on phone or loud speaker. Already try do setting at Audio & Visual > Call Audio Routing > Bluetooth Headset. Anyone facing the same issue?
I opened a terminal window this morning and couldn't cd to /home. When I type a tilde, I get a paragraph symbol. Yesterday, my external keyboard could type a Pipe symbol, no such luck today.
I ended up having to use hidutil to remap my keyboard and run keystrokes through terminal to restore what worked yesterday.
When I look at the available English keyboards, they're all showing a paragraph symbol above the Tab key.
Has anyone else run into this sudden keyboard change?

Recently I got an issue on App Store that my build got rejected because of iPad Air 5. My app include Device binding which means sim should be present in Device while using the app, where as, I mad the app mainly for iPhone not for pads. But AppStore is rejecting my build saying getting no sim issue in iPad Air 5th gen And os 18.5 . So what should I do? Which device I should prefer so that I can use it future also , should not be outdated within some time.

Immediately after installing iOS 26 on my iPhone 14 Pro, my phone display stopped working. It's not responding to touch, but I can see it charging. It also wakes the screen whenever I pick it up, but it's not touching at all. What do I do, or do I have to downgrade?
first post here and this is kinda a long shot. I’m working on a custom keypad project for a young man with some mobility issues that unfortunately prevents gestrue and voice control as UI options.
id like to see if I can pull track metadata via a Bluetooth connection into a custom keyboard with a small screen.
I know hid doesn’t support this but I was hoping maybe the API for iOS’s blueprint remote app could be leveraged.
I haven’t don’t much with Apple previousl. Usually Roku and Crestron implantations but I’m hoping to see if I can accomplish something with Apple, without needing to implement any IP connection.

I am integrating a camera with HomeKit. The audio and video streams work in the HomeKit Accessory Tester, but they do not work when using the Home app on an iPhone (Failed to select audio config – Could not find the right match in the supported list. Session is not in progress).
I have a single audio configuration: Opus 16kHz mono with a constant bitrate of 24kbps.
Since updating to iOS 18.6 beta on my iPhone 13 ProMax, my battery usage has well over doubled. Also, my phone has become noticeably sluggish and unresponsive.
For instance, after being charged to 100% my phone has dropped to 26% with only 1 hr 2m screen on time and 49m of screen off time. My phone gets noticeably warm to the touch, even through the case.
Any ideas on the cause or any remedy?
Hello, I want to try develop hearing aid based on stm32 with BLE Module.
If I want to only stream music from iPhone, does I need mfi certification? And I want to develop application with changing program on device
I am developing an app that communicates with external BLE device over GATT. The device has a secure-read characteristic exposing some of it's data and requires pairing/bonding in order to communicate with it.
I was able to pair and connect with the device using AccessorySetupKit and .bluetoothPairingLE option:
let descriptor = ASDiscoveryDescriptor()
descriptor.bluetoothServiceUUID = CBUUID(string: serviceUUID)
descriptor.supportedOptions = [.bluetoothPairingLE]
let picketItem = ASPickerDisplayItem(name: name, productImage: image, descriptor: descriptor)
In this case when setting up accessory, I was prompted to compare passkeys and after confirming I can read the characteristic etc.
Then I tried adding .confirmAuthorization to picker item and problems started:
let descriptor = ASDiscoveryDescriptor()
descriptor.bluetoothServiceUUID = CBUUID(string: serviceUUID)
descriptor.supportedOptions = [.bluetoothPairingLE]
let picketItem = ASPickerDisplayItem(name: name, productImage: image, desc
pickerItem.setupOptions = [.confirmAuthorization]
When setting up, I can see a passkey to be confirmed, but when confirmed the setup ui get's suck in loading state. Under the hood in logs, I can see that my app has connected to peripheral and was able to read the characteristic.
I am unsure why the ui is stuck in loading state in this case. What is the difference when using .confirmAuthorization option and what should be the proper flow of events to setup accessory and then access protoected characteristic?
Hello Apple Developers,
I'm currently working on building a custom HomeKit Accessory using the HomeKit ADK v6.3 and running the Remote.OpenSSL sample on a Raspberry Pi 4 (64-bit Ubuntu / Linux Kernel 6.1.21-v8+). I'm trying to pair the accessory via the MFi HomeKit ADK pairing process.
I've successfully compiled the ADK using:
The application (Remote.OpenSSL) launches correctly, and the accessory server starts as expected, broadcasting via mDNS. However, when I attempt to initiate pairing via iOS (or simulate pairing), the following error occurs:
Fault fatal error - HAPPlatformAccessorySetupLoadSetupInfo @ PAL/Linux/HAPPlatformAccessorySetup.c:93
This causes the application to crash.

We found that on some iPad devices (such as iPad8,9/iPad OS/18.5), when the media is playing, the recorded human voice is very small and is basically suppressed by the sound of the playing media. When the media is not playing, the human voice can be recorded.
Likely when use screen recording with microphone, the ambient sound is also basically suppressed by the media sound.
Our app is connected to a hardware wifi without network. Under normal circumstances, we can communicate with the device. At some point, the communication suddenly stops, and the ping prompts "No route to host". The only way to reconnect is to restart the device. It feels like the system has marked ARP. Is there any way to reconnect the device without restarting the iphone?
