Keyboard becomes unresponsive after backgrounding app while iCloud Keychain “Save Password?” sheet is visible
Product & Version: iOS 17.5.1 (21F90) – reproducible since iOS 13 Test devices: iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, iPad (10th gen) Category: UIKit → Text Input / Keyboard Summary: If the system “Save Password?” prompt (shown by iCloud Keychain after a successful login) is onscreen and the user sends the app to background (Home gesture / App Switcher), the prompt is automatically dismissed. When the app returns to foreground, the keyboard does not appear, and text input is impossible in the entire app until it is force-quit. Steps to Reproduce: Run any app from AppStore that shows "Save Password" alert. Enter any credentials and tap Login, iOS shows the system “Save Password?” alert. Without interacting with the alert, swipe up to the Home screen (or open the App Switcher). Reactivate the app. Tap the text field in the app.

CoreLocation Limit?
Dear team, I am reaching out to inquire about potential daily usage limits for the CoreLocation geocoding services. While I understand that there is a known limit of approximately 50 requests per minute, I have received information suggesting there may also be a daily cap of 25,000 requests. Could you please confirm whether such a daily limit exists? Additionally, I would appreciate any recommendations you might have for increasing the allowable number of daily geocoding requests, if possible. Thank you in advance for your support.

Third-party apps reset and force close after launch on iOS 26 Developer Preview
Hi everyone, After updating to iOS 26 Developer Preview on my iPhone, I’m experiencing a repeated issue with certain third-party apps. ⸻ -Issue details: • The apps open as if freshly installed, showing the onboarding or login screen each time • User session is completely lost (no saved login or data) • Around 10 seconds after launch, the app automatically closes • It disappears from the app switcher (not just backgrounded) • This happens every time, with no crash message or error shown ⸻ -What I’ve tried: • Reinstalled the apps • Restarted the device • Toggled Face ID, Background App Refresh, etc. • Confirmed I’m running the latest iOS 26 Developer Preview build ➡️ Problem still occurs exactly the same way ⸻ -Feedback status: I submitted a report via Feedback Assistant with a screen recording and full reproduction steps. No response yet after several days. ⸻ -Looking for: • Confirmation from others with similar issues • Info on whether this is already being tracked by Apple • Whether it’s worth resubmitting a new Feedback report Thanks for any insight.

iOS 26 Beta 2 replaces iOS 18.4 Backup
After too many boot loops and inability to boot up at all from system data bloating, I decided to restore the iPhone 16 Pro Max I’m beta testing on back to iOS 18.4 for a third time. Unfortunately, I found the iOS 26 beta 2 had made a iCloud backup last night, replacing my 18.4 backup. Is this something betas are supposed to do? I’ve been beta testing for around a decade now, I’ve never seen a iOS beta make an iCloud backup. Is anyone else noticing excessive system data bloating (70-100 GB or more)? Regardless, I’m in it for the long game now 😂

Mac Mini M1 Firmware Restore
Hi, After installing Macos 26 Beta on my Mac Mini M1 it doesn't boot. On the front panel there is an orange blinking light. The monitor doesn't recognize it. In DFU mode my other Mac Mini (M4) recognizes it but I can't restore it from Configurator (see print). Thanks for your help.

Glitching parts of screen since update to iOS 26 Developer Beta
As the title states, and it’s extremely frustrating. The floating bar that now appears above the keyboard is cool compared to the built in bar, though it seems to only work when it feels like it. Also the screen seems to have a haze around it, sometimes I cannot read whats needed because of it being blurred and it won’t allow me to navigate to certain things due to the haze being there too. Any way of rolling back my update and going back to my previous iOS?

iOS 26DEV Beta lacks feedback channel, and has been buggy for 4 weeks
From iOS 26Beta1, iOS 26Beta1.1 to iOS 26Beta2. I couldn't log in to the Feedback App for 4 weeks. It kept prompting BUGs and asked me to log in to Feedback. However, the problem was that I couldn't log in to Feedback. So the problem kept repeating. Apple didn't receive any feedback, so Apple thought this was the most successful version in the history of iOS because it didn't receive any feedback.

Delay in loading web pages in WebView after consent to tracking
Hi everyone, I have an app developed with React Native with Expo and it uses webViews to show HTML articles for a few days if I give consent to tracking the loading of the articles is very slow on the contrary without consent they load quickly, I tried to disable the javascripts that load the ads but the result is always the same. Can anyone help me?

SwiftUI vs Flutter for Embedding Unity in an iOS App?
I need help. Looking for devs who’ve integrated Unity into a native iOS app (Swift/SwiftUI) SwiftUI vs Flutter for Embedding Unity in an iOS App? I’m planning an iOS-first app where users interact with a real-time 3D custom avatar with 52 blendshapes powered by Unity, using SALSA LipSync + Emoter for facial animation. The avatar will respond to voice using Whisper → GPT-4 → ElevenLabs. My plan is to embed Unity only for the avatar screen, and build the rest of the app (chat, voice input, onboarding, etc.) natively? Here’s the decision I’m stuck on: Should I stick with SwiftUI, since it gives full access to iOS-native features like ARKit, audio routing, and StoreKit? I only plan to develop for iOS. Has anyone here integrated Unity with Flutter for mobile app successfully? Any pitfalls or major limitations I should know about before going that route? I haven’t started development yet — just want to make sure I choose the right foundation for performance, flexibility, and long-term growth. Any experience would be hugely appreciated!

Is this an ios 26 beta bug?
After updating my iPhone to iOS 26 beta, images displayed inside an in-app WebView (WKWebView) suddenly look almost black, as if a black overlay were sitting on top of them. The same image files are delivered from the server without any problems. I inspected the DOM and CSS in Safari’s remote debugger and confirmed that no extra overlay element or dark background layer is being injected. The effect only appears inside the WebView on iOS 26 beta; the same page renders correctly on earlier iOS versions and on desktop browsers. I would like to understand what change in iOS 26 beta could be causing this darkening effect.

iPhone 13 Pro not charging or recognized via USB-C after iOS 26 update (works in DFU mode)
Hi everyone, Since updating my iPhone 13 Pro to iOS 26, the device stopped charging and is not recognized by my Mac when connected via USB-C to Lightning cable. I’ve run extensive diagnostics: • Tried multiple USB-C cables and ports on the Mac — all work with other iPhones and devices. • The iPhone charges fine using a wall charger. • It also works perfectly with USB-A to Lightning cables — charges and appears in Finder. • I performed a full DFU restore and downgrade to iOS 18, without restoring from backup — the issue persists. • Interestingly, the iPhone is detected by the Mac in DFU mode via USB-C, which suggests the USB-C port is physically fine. This leads me to believe the issue is with the USB-C stack in normal iOS runtime, possibly triggered or corrupted by the iOS 26 update. It’s not hardware-related, as data and power lines work in DFU, and USB-A connections work normally. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way to fully reset or reflash the USB-C firmware at a lower level than DFU? Or does this require AST2-level diagnostics from Apple? Thanks in advance!
