I can't use the app because I haven't received any email and I don't know what the invitation code is.
Will I receive it at some point or how can I receive it?
Dear Apple,
I am sending this review to tell you that with my new update. I am not a fan of the photos set up. I find it very confusing and find myself getting irritated very often and giving up after searching for an image… which is frustrating for many reasons including I need my camera roll for work often. please make adjustments with the newest update… please.
thank you, if anyone took the time to read this.
Ashton, a very sad customer

I am trying to add a custom domain to my iCloud+ Mail however when I try to add its main user/email address I get an error saying that the email is already in use with another apple account.
After this I checked the duplicate account and since I had forgotten the password I reset it and logged in. Then I followed the instructs on https://support.apple.com/en-in/102283 to permanently delete my account. This request was initiated on 8 Feb 2025 but I received the final email that all my data had successfully been deleted from Apple's servers on 25 Feb 2025.
Despite Apple's confirmation that my account had been deleted successfully, I am still unable to use that email address to create an iCloud+ Mail account, even after waiting a whole month! This is very frustrating.
I contacted Apple support via chat and phone and after more than 30 mins of back and forth they instructed me to contact Developer Support which I did two days ago (case ID is 102546369564) still no response.
I hope posting here will be more fruitful.
Thanks in advance.
Dear Dan Newby,
Your Apple Account dan@ ----- .world has been deleted. This information has been permanently erased from our systems or has been modified so it no longer identifies you.
As a reminder, you made this request on February 8, 2025 at 7:09:59 PM GMT+5.
If you still have the 12-digit access code we provided as part of your request, you can now discard it since the account no longer exists.
We’re glad that we’ve been able to help and hope to see you again in the future.

I installed iOS 18.4 on Friday evening, all worked well during Saturday and Sunday, Monday morning the Phone rebooted and appeared to have installed an Update, I didn´t notice, I was about to answer a WhatsApp and the TestFlight beta didn´t start up, a renew of the App was not possible due to TestFlight not being available. So I thought a reboot would help, but I did a reset, since then BOOT LOOP.
I brought in recovery mode, updated with the 18.4 ipsw, no change - BOOT LOOP
Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to edit the bootps.plist which is in the system / library directory. I have an M4 MacBook running OS 15.3.2 and I've held down the power button to go into recovery mode, and in terminal entered the 'csrutil disable' command and have restarted but when I go back to 'get info - Sharing & Permissions' I can't change any of the permissions. I need to be able to edit this file to create DHCP server.
How can I change edit permissions on the bootps.plist?

Since macOS 15.4 Beta 2, my App Store has been unable to install or download any new applications; it can only download applications I have previously purchased.
It appears as follows: when I click 'Get,' the system spins to load and then returns to the initial state.
Upon checking system error reports, it seems there's an issue with AMSUIPaymentViewService_macOS [2113]. This problem persists despite changing credit cards or even removing all credit cards.
macOS 15.4 Beta 3 has not fixed this error.
I find that GIDSignIn.sharedInstance.signIn() returns successfully when an INVALID bundle ID is used. Is this expected?

I’m developing an app that has a Fitbit login page embedded in a WKWebView. On the Fitbit login page, there is a Google login button.
When I try to log in to Fitbit via Google, some devices redirect back to the Fitbit login page even after entering the correct Google credentials. However, it works on the second attempt. I tested the same URL in the default browser, and it works fine when the page is loaded in the browser instead of inside the WebView.
I tried the following workarounds but was unable to fix the issue:
1. Enabled JavaScript in WebView.
2. Tried cookie synchronization between WKWebsiteDataStore and HTTPCookieStorage.
I recently wrote an article on getting gtk auto complete/syntax highlighting on macOS
its a genuinely fun hobby to make portable software, and this method will ultimately help in porting software to the macOS platform
a copy and paste:
before I continue, I want to mention that emacs auto completion, using company-mode, is rather slow when it comes to parsing a ton files, and in some configurations, especially recursively when it comes to parsing and displaying functions and macros, even when using the semantic auto complete system, but I do believe it speeds up when you initially parse and save to ctags or when you build a semanticdb, functions such as g_signal_connect() and macros such as G_APPLICATION however, did not work with company modes auto complete, but worked with flycheck on the fly syntax checking, using this method, and I haven’t had time to perfect an emacs configuration; maybe some time next week
you will need gtk installed from brew or ports, since gtk has trouble compiling from source on some Mac configurations. this method works with whatever version of gtk is reported by pkg-config –cflags (pkg-config --cflags gtk. you will also need pkg-config installed, multiple installations of gtk can be used and utilized
but the emacs plugins you’ll need are (and you’ll need to connect to Melpa using list-packages https://melpa.org/#/getting-started to have these automatically downloaded and configured):
company
company-c-headers
flycheck
flycheck-pkg-config
exec-path-from-shell (this allows x11emacs to read the shells configuration, may be option for terminal based emac uses)
optional: function-args-mode, but when fa-show-auto is used, it breaks themes in emacs
download all of them through M-x list-packages (which means pressing alt+x, macOS option+x, which should issue an input on the bottom of emacs, where the status bar is), after that, type list-packages or use auto completion, aka ctrl+tab to cycle through possible candidates
open a c file (C-f ~/test.c) (which is control+x, macOS control+x)
type in:
M-x semantic-mode
M-x semantic-customize-system-include-path
in semantic-customize-system-include-path, add the path to the gtk version you intend to develop for, in my case /opt/homebrew/Cellar/gtk4/4.16.12/include/gtk-4.0 using the text based interface; you should be able to use your mouse (click ins after where it says /usr/include. semantic is included in emacs. options are automatically saved at command)
M-x exec-path-from-shell-initialize
M-x flycheck-mode
M-x flycheck-pkg-config
in flycheck-pkg-config, press enter, and then type the name of the version of gtk that provides valid input from pkg-config (ie gtk4)
M-x global-company-mode
if you need to bind ctrl+tab to auto complete, you can add this to your config (~/.emacs.d/init.el)
(global-set-key (kbd “C-”) ‘company-semantic)
this will do most of the grunt work when plugins are installed (ctrl-tab shows a window to auto complete, ctrl+` (thats the key before 1, with shift it becomes ~) shows function argument. fa-show-auto automatically shows function prototypes, but can break emacs themes:
(require ‘package)
(add-to-list ‘package-archives ‘(“melpa” . “https://melpa.org/packages/”) t)
;; Comment/uncomment this line to enable MELPA Stable if desired. See package-archive-priorities
;; and package-pinned-packages. Most users will not need or want to do this.
;;(add-to-list ‘package-archives ‘(“melpa-stable” . “https://stable.melpa.org/packages/”) t)
(package-initialize)
(global-company-mode t)
(global-flycheck-mode t)
(semantic-mode t)
(function-args-mode)
(global-company-mode t)
(global-flycheck-mode t)
(semantic-mode t)
(function-args-mode)
(global-set-key (kbd “C-”) ‘company-semantic)
(global-set-key (kbd “C-`”) ‘fa-show)
if you need to compile from inside emacs, I would make a Makefile according to the gtk tutorial on gtk.org
I also have another article on getting Xcode to work with gtk, which is more reliable: https://unix-world.com/2025/01/25/getting-gtk4-to-work-in-xcode-with-auto-complete-and-syntax-highlighting/
website is unix-world.com and I welcome any and all traffic !
ISAC Client is crashing on macOS 15.4 Beta 1 which is from from the WebKit engine the underlying framework of WKWebView. And the "ResourceLoadNotifier" is from WebKit's internal framework.It seems to be related to resource loading failure which is potentially triggered by changes in macOS 15.4 Beta.
The rearrangemnet of the emoji menu is driving me crazy. I never use Memojis or the Apple animal emojis and now they're all squished together at the front of the emoji keyboard and it's difficult to select what I want, since the menu is so small.
I switch between language and emoji keyboards frequently and this is extremely frustrating.

We have observed an issue where upgrading an iPhone to iOS 18.4 causes installed apps to revert to significantly older versions. For example, if the App Store version is 1.0.284 and the user had 1.0.283 installed before the upgrade, after updating to iOS 18.4, the app version reverts to 1.0.208—which is nearly a year old.
We suspect this may be related to iCloud backup restoration. Has Apple encountered similar cases, and is there a known resolution for this issue?

After I got my repaired phone back from the shop, I noticed that iphone mirroring is not functioning like normal. I tried every solutions from deleting the .plist files and reset my phone's connection, but now it seems like the problem comes from the mirroring app itself. After deleting the .plist file and resetting the MBP, the setup for the mirroring app won't let me continue, as clicking the "continue" button only flash the descriptions of the mirroring feature for a slight moment, then return to the same setup UI as before. Is there anyway to completely delete and reinstall this app so that it functions again?

説明ではApple Accountが無くても回答可能とあるが、招待された画面を開きメールアドレスを入力するとApple acountのパスワードを入れるか、新規にacountを作成する画面になる。
Apple Accountが無い人は何も出来ないのか?それともあのパスワード欄は新規にパスワード登録するためのもの?
また、招待を送ったメールアドレスとApple acountのメールアドレスが違う場合はどうなるのだろう?
誰か試した人いますか?

I discovered an issue where older Intel Macs (like my 2017 MacBook) enrolled in the macOS Sequoia Public Beta do not receive Ventura security updates, even though Sequoia is not compatible with the hardware.
My system said “macOS is up to date” while stuck on Ventura 13.7.1, but after switching to the Ventura Public Beta channel, it immediately showed a new update available.
This seems like a serious flaw—Apple should warn users or fall back to compatible OS versions when an enrolled beta is unsupported.
Has anyone else experienced this? Could be a widespread issue for Intel Mac users still relying on Ventura.
Hello! I just realized thaty I had signed up for this developer account some time ago without making any meaningful attempt to introduce myself other than attending a few of the Apple meetups at NeurIPS and ICML conferences. As a quick introduction I come from a background in open source development, most notably associated with the "Automunge" python library for dataframe encodings / missing data infill. I also have some background supporting Apple in context of volunteering as an executive officer for an IEEE Standards Association working group developing floating point arithmetic / data types for machine learning. Beyond that have been a dedicated user with frequent product feedback to various channels over the years. I am currently self employed and focussing on building an IP portfolio and investing. I am always open to share dialogue as to how to help advance the field, hope that I might get a chance to meet a few more of this communty at some point. Best regards, Nicholas Teague
