If you're on an Intel Mac, here's the reason and the fix. Cost me an evening, and I found nothing online except closed bug reports with the same symptom. The problem: The browser flow works fine. You authorize, the page confirms, Xcode acts like nothing happened, no error anywhere. Xcode only downloads the Apple Silicon (arm64) build of its agent binaries. On Intel they can't run at all. The process meant to receive your login dies instantly with "bad CPU type in executable" and Xcode never surfaces it. Check if this is you: file ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/claude/*/claude If it says arm64 and your Mac is Intel, that's the problem. The fix: Open the Info.plist next to the binary. It has the exact download URL. Download the x64 build of the same version. → Claude: change darwin-arm64 to darwin-x64 in that URL. → Codex: grab codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz from the matching rust-v release on GitHub. Replace the binary and make it executable: chmod 755 Update the checksum in Info.plist. It's a plain SHA-512: shasum -a 512 Restart Xcode and sign in again. Bonus (Claude Pro / Max) Run claude setup-token in Terminal, then add the token to: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/ClaudeAgentConfig/settings.json {"env": {"CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN": "your-token"}} Pick "Authenticate with Configuration File" in the agent menu. Runs on your subscription no API key. Heads up: an Xcode update can re-download the wrong binary, so you may have to repeat this until Apple fixes the architecture detection.

I’m looking for advice from anyone who has gone through the process of converting an Apple Developer account to an Organization / Company account. I’ve been trying to convert my account for organization and the process has been taking much longer than expected. Apple initially requested documentation to verify both the business and my authority to act on behalf of the company. So far, I have already provided or prepared everything they ask for. At this point, I’ve been waiting for 9 days without much clarity on whether my documents are sufficient

I inherited an App which was pulled of the AppStore some time ago. I want to revive the project as I am convinced that there’s an interest in it. I am not experienced in iOS development, let alone UIKit (or Swift). Project has been setup as a non-public GIT repo. The project needs to stay non-profit. MIT license. I have a domain where I will host the web page for help etc. All non-profit! About: UIKit with reference to add’l framework for mathematical calculations (a nice fellow from this community helped me out on this :). former name Multiplans (Internet Archives still has the old webpage). navigation app using exclusively offline maps. very basic functionality, focus on the important stuff while you’re exploring the outdoors. POI/Track management. lots of map formats supported. Todo: maintenance, replace deprecated functions. a few minor bugs. implement a couple of functions in track management (like splitting track segments).

Please, Apple, bring back walkie-talkie feature on Apple Watch. It is convenient and a great way to leave your phone home, make receive, and use walkie-talkie, and it was fun. Please bring it back. I’m not the only one asking for it to be brought back.

Why is the new Siri on iPhone 18 so bad? A simple request to play a song on Spotify is constantly met with something completely random. Not to mention the constant lagging on Apple CarPlay!

Hello, I found a visual bug in iOS 27 when using YouTube in the background. Steps: Play a video on YouTube. Lock the iPhone while the video continues playing. Long-press the Lock Screen. Before the customization menu opens, observe the YouTube media player. Issue: The YouTube media player rapidly flickers/flashes approximately 10 times before the customization menu appears. Expected: The transition should be smooth without flickering. Device: iPhone 15 iOS: 27.0.1 I can provide a screen recording if needed. Thank you.

Universal Clipboard from iPhone to Mac works after an iPhone restart, then silently stops after a while. Mac to iPhone and Mac to Mac keep working. Only restarting the iPhone fixes it; toggling Bluetooth or Handoff does not. What the Mac's unified log shows while broken (useractivityd + sharingd): Mac to Mac (working): Received Ad ... CopyPasteKey = 1, then [PBOARD] Received pboard available advertisement, then Requesting complete: 1713 bytes, error: (null). iPhone to Mac (broken): zero Received Ad and zero pboard advertisements from the iPhone, even while copying every few seconds with the phone next to the Mac. No errors. The Mac still recognises the iPhone as a paired own-account device (Paired yes, identity resolved, distance Immediate), so pairing and receiving are fine. So the iPhone appears to stop broadcasting Handoff advertisements entirely, and the stuck state survives Bluetooth and Handoff toggles.

Early Access via TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/Qsvxk5Mh What is it: https://leok7v.github.io/ChatOKF/ Open Source: https://github.com/leok7v/ChatOKF A capable AI assistant that lives on your iPhone and iPad. The model runs on your device's own chip, so nothing you type is uploaded and nothing is logged. Once a model is downloaded, ChatOKF works in airplane mode. No account. No sign-in. No subscription. No ads, no analytics, no telemetry. WHAT YOU CAN DO Ask anything: check the math on a loan, plan a week of dinners, untangle a confusing letter. Show it a picture: a photo of a menu, a street sign or a whiteboard, straight from your library. Some models also listen to audio and watch video, frame by frame. Hand it a document: a PDF, a Word file or a spreadsheet. It reads the tables inside and answers from the file, and one tap opens the page to check it. Watch it think: the stronger models reason before they answer. Read the reasoning, tap Quick Answer to cut it short, or switch thinking off for speed. Let it look things up: Wikipedia, today's headlines, the weather and web search are tools it can use, each behind its own switch. Keep going: it suggests a sensible next question; swipe right to ask it. Keep what it gives you: answers are typeset, tables and mathematics included. Search and rename your chats, share one as a PDF, and bring a deleted chat back within thirty days. Talk instead of typing: tap the microphone and speak, and have replies read aloud in one of eight voices made on your device. MEMORY YOU CAN READ Tell it to remember something and it writes a short note, and the chat says what it wrote. Later questions are checked against your notes first, whichever model is answering. Every note is listed under Memories, to read or to delete. One switch, Total Recall, turns it all off. WHERE YOUR WORDS GO Nowhere, unless it looks something up. With Wikipedia on, your question is matched to an article on your device and only that article is downloaded. With web access on, the model's search terms go to a search engine and the pages it chooses are fetched. Settings, Privacy says exactly what leaves your device for each one. PICK YOUR MODEL Several open models are offered, and the list shows only what your device can hold, so every one you see will run. Gemma 4 E2B and E4B: they see pictures, hear sound and watch video. Qwen3.5 2B and 4B: good with tools and longer answers. Ternary Bonsai 1.7B: small and fast, for devices with less memory. GOOD TO KNOW The first launch downloads a model, from about half a gigabyte to a few gigabytes. Use Wi-Fi; after that, no network is needed. Devices with more memory are offered stronger models, and newer chips answer faster. Answers are generated and can be wrong. Check anything that matters. ChatOKF is written in Swift on Metal, and its source is on GitHub. Models are provided by their authors under their own licenses, including the Gemma Terms of Use.

What happens Since installing macOS 27.2 b2 (didn't go through b1, might have been there already), the Contacts app has become almost unusable on my two Macs. Opening a contact or moving to the next one often freezes the app for 8 to 10 seconds, with the spinning wheel. It happens many times in a row while browsing the address book. It comes back no matter what I try: restarting, letting iCloud resync the contacts, deleting and recreating cards. Once, it seemed to go away for a couple of minutes upon restarting, but it returned. Both Macs share the same iCloud account (~690 contacts): a MacBook Pro M4 Pro and a Mac mini M4, both on 27.2 b2 (26B5091g). Reported as FB24928119. Technical details All 18 Contacts_*.spin reports show the main thread blocked in CNCDContactFetcher withLockedContext_fetchPosterData, waiting on a synchronous XPC call to com.apple.contacts.poster.api. That service is postersyncd, which syncs Contact Posters. The kernel kills postersyncd with exceeded mem limit: InactiveHard 20 MB (fatal) at 30–35 MB. launchd relaunches it every ~10 s: 74 kills in 26 h on one Mac, 54 in 24 h on the other. log stream --level debug shows the same sequence on every relaunch: START: Background cleanup → Potential cleanup for missingLocalContactIdentifiers → FetchingContacts → killed within the same second. The cleanup never finishes, so it restarts forever. The poster store (group.com.apple.contacts/ContactsMetadata) is ~85 MB, with blobs of up to 9 MB each. The memory limit stays InactiveHard even while Contacts is frontmost. Moving the poster store aside doesn't help: iCloud rebuilds it in ~25 s. Posters deleted from iOS or iCloud.com get a deletion date but are never purged. Question: has anyone else seen this on 27.2 b2? Is there a way to reset the Contact Posters data stored in iCloud?

Title: Apple Developer enrollment paid, but account now shows “Not Eligible” Hello, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program using my Apple Account. I completed the enrollment process and paid the membership fee using Apple Pay. The payment was successfully charged, and during the enrollment process I was told that I would receive an email shortly regarding the enrollment. However, I never received that email. When I now log in to my Apple Developer account, it says that my account is not eligible for the Apple Developer Program. The membership fee has already been charged, so I would like to understand what happened to my enrollment and whether the payment can be associated with my application. Could someone please advise me on what I should do next or how I can have the enrollment and payment reviewed? Thank you.

Hi everyone! Could anyone testing iPadOS 27.2 Beta 2 on an iPad please check a Display Zoom keyboard bug for me? When setting Display Zoom to Larger Text (Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Display Zoom), the spacebar becomes extremely small and squeezed between the language/layout switching keys. Just to add — this applies to both Developer Beta 2 and Public Beta . Thanks to anyone who can test this! Is this UI bug fixed in Beta 2? Thanks!

Since updating my iPhone to iOS 27, my wired earphones are no longer detected. Audio continues to play through the internal speakers, and the accessory is not recognized. To isolate the issue, I tested the exact same earphones and adapter on a friend’s iPad running iOS 26, and they worked without any problems. This confirms the physical hardware and adapter are functional, indicating a software bug or accessory driver issue in iOS 27. Steps Taken: Restarted the iPhone. Cleaned the charging port. Verified full hardware functionality on an iOS 26 device. Please advise on a fix or include a patch for audio accessory detection in the next iOS 27 update.

When the device is locked and the control center is opened by pulling down, connecting the iPhone mirror to the Mac will cause the iPhone to be unable to operate, open any apps, or restart

I'm trying to update my proprietary app but failed, I found there are 2 reasons blocking the app update video is playing in app the app is active in multitasking windowed mode anyone has similar issue and how you address this?

Hi everyone, I recently updated my Mac to macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta and have encountered a strange issue with window management over a remote connection. Issue: When connected to my Mac via Chrome Remote Desktop (CRD), I can no longer move application windows by dragging their title bars (outer frames). Details: Curiously, I can still drag and move individual tabs within apps (like Chrome or Terminal), which means mouse drag input itself is being transmitted correctly to the OS. This issue only happens when attempting to drag the window title bar/frame over a remote session. Local mouse/trackpad control works perfectly. Everything was working completely fine before the update to macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta. What I've tried so far (with no success): Toggled Accessibility permissions off and on for ChromeRemoteDesktopHost and restarted the Mac. Disallowed and re-allowed Screen Recording permissions. Completely re-installed the Chrome Remote Desktop host application. Disabled "Tile windows by dragging to screen edges" in System Settings to avoid snapping conflicts. It seems like WindowServer or the system-level window management is blocking or ignoring virtual mouse drag inputs specifically on title bars since this beta update. Has anyone else experienced this on macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta, or is there a known API change / security restriction in this version that affects remote input handling for WindowServer? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Good day, everyone. I am experiencing an issue where, when I upload my app to Apple for review, it gets rejected cos of a request login timeout, but when we try to reproduce the bug, we can't cos it goes smoothly here without the timeout. Has anyone experienced something like this, and how was it solved

2 days since I paid for my Apple Developer membership and still nothing 💀 Meanwhile, Google approved everything almost immediately Apple, you’re making it really hard not to say Google is better!

Hi , I'm new here, do anyone know how long it takes for Apple to approve my enrollment?

Problem: CTCellularPlanStatus.getTokenWithCompletion Returns Nil Token and Nil Error When Multiple SIM Profiles Are Configured but Only One Subscription Is Active Environment: Device: iPhone 15 Pro iOS: 27.0 Capability: com.apple.developer.upi-device-validation Frameworks: CoreTelephony, MessageUI Reproduced in both production app and standalone Objective-C sample app Issue: After successful UPI verification SMS submission, setUPIVerificationCodeSendCompletion returns YES, but CTCellularPlanStatus.getTokenWithCompletion returns: Token = nil Error = nil Code: [messageController setUPIVerificationCodeSendCompletion:^(BOOL result) { if (result) { [CTCellularPlanStatus getTokenWithCompletion:^(NSString *token, NSError *error) { NSLog(@"Token = %@", token); NSLog(@"Error = %@", error); }]; } }]; Observed Behavior: The behavior appears to depend on the SIM profile configuration: Scenario 1 Device has only a single SIM profile configured: Physical SIM only, or eSIM only Result: Token is returned successfully. Scenario 2 Device has both Physical SIM and eSIM profiles configured and both are active. Result: Token is returned successfully. Scenario 3 The device is configured with both a Physical SIM profile and an eSIM profile; however, only one subscription is active: Physical SIM active, eSIM disabled, or eSIM active while the Physical SIM is removed or unavailable (displayed as "No SIM" in Settings) Observed Result: Token = nil Error = nil Summary of Observed Behavior Token retrieval succeeds in the following configurations: Device provisioned with a single SIM profile (Physical SIM only or eSIM only). Device provisioned with both Physical SIM and eSIM profiles, with both subscriptions active. Token retrieval consistently fails in the following configuration: Device provisioned with both Physical SIM and eSIM profiles, but only one subscription is active. This behavior appears reproducible and suggests a potential issue related to subscriber resolution when a dual-SIM device contains multiple SIM profiles but only a single active subscription. The API does not provide an error indicating why token generation or retrieval failed.
