External Display Issue on macOS Golden Gate 27 Developer Beta (M4 Pro)
Hello everyone, I am currently running the macOS Golden Gate 27 Developer Beta and am experiencing an issue with external displays. I am only able to connect one external display successfully. Any additional external displays I try to plug in do not work or are not recognized by the system. Here are the details of my setup: Mac Model: 16-inch MacBook Pro (Apple M4 Pro, 24 GB Memory) macOS Version: macOS 27 Version 27.0 Beta (Build 26A5353q) Displays: Two LG UltraFine 5K Thunderbolt displays Connection Type: Connected directly using two separate Apple Thunderbolt 4 cables Troubleshooting steps already taken: Restarted the Mac Tested different cables and ports Verified both displays work individually (only fails when both are connected) Has anyone else encountered this issue on this specific beta build? If so, have you found any temporary workarounds? Side note: Feedback Assistant was not working for me. I tried it in the Web, and the native App, neither of them would work. I am posting here because there was nowhere else to submit this bug report.

iOS 26.5.1 Wi-Fi cannot be turned off
When the device leaves the range of a known Wi-Fi network, the Wi-Fi icon in the status bar does not disappear, and the device fails to switch to LTE/5G, resulting in a loss of internet connectivity. Turning off Wi-Fi via Settings or Control Center does not resolve the issue either. Only restarting the device fixes the problem. Network settings and general settings have already been reset. The issue occurs on an iPhone 15 Pro and an iPhone 17 Pro. Is there a solution? Apple Support has suggested the troubleshooting steps mentioned above as well as an exchange of the iPhone 17 Pro.

Corespotlightd Using Significant CPU In 11.2.2 (20D80)
Hello! I am wondering if anyone else is experiencing a significant CPU drain from Spotlight (specifically corespotlightd) in macOS 11.2.2. Since updating to macOS 11.2.2 any time that I access spotlight using Command + Space Bar I immediately experience a system wide lag. Viewing this in Activity Monitor I see a %CPU spike of corespotlightd in the realm of 200-400%. that last for anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds. I have sent this in through Feedback Assistant, but no other reports seem to have been linked to the radar. I have attempted a few different fixes as well: Terminal killall corespotlightd resolves the issue momentarily, but does not fix long term Restarting computer does nothing to solve Re-indexing spotlight does not solve I have also disabled more advanced search functions (Bookmarks and History, Contacts, Events and Reminders, Fonts, Mail & Messages, Music, Siri Suggestions, and Movies are all disabled) - This did not fix the issue. I have also disabled search for external hard drives which also did not solve the issue. Open to any other suggestions for fixes, or if anyone else has a similar issue. Mac mini, 2018 (2020 release), 3.2 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, 32 GB 2667 MHz DDR4. External GPU Radeon RX 570 4 GB.

Final Cut crash on public beta
On one week old iPad Air M4 I installed iPadOS 27 public beta, and before that I installed developer beta. I tried using Final Cut Pro but every time, regardless of what I’m doing it crashes after 30-40 seconds. Can this issue be caused by beta and if so when will it get fixed?

iPhone 17 Pro Max CarPlay Audio Dropouts/Lag in BMW iDrive 7 - Does iOS 27 fix this?
Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a very frustrating issue with wireless CarPlay. I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max and I drive a 2023 BMW 420d Coupé equipped with iDrive 7. The audio frequently skips, lags, and drops out when streaming music. I've read some rumors that the upcoming iOS 27 update might finally address this bug. Since I know the public beta is currently out, has anyone testing the iOS 27 beta on a similar BMW setup noticed if this specific audio skipping issue is actually resolved? Thanks in advance for any feedback!

I already paid the €99 on June 29th, but my account still says, "Complete your membership purchase. To continue your registration, complete the purchase now. Processing your purchase may take up to 48 hours." Support hasn't gotten back to me either, even though I submitted my inquiry four days ago.

Digital Services Act in "In Review"
Hi everyone, my Digital Services Act (DSA) status in App Store Connect has been “In Review” for over a week. Is this normal? The app is already available in 178 countries, but it can’t be released in the EU (my home market) solely because this DSA isn’t approved yet. How long did it take for you? Is there anything that helps speed up the DSA review? Thanks for any insights.

Sev 1 Issue: MacMail shows Gmail accounts as enabled but inactive. Unable to access any mail
Hello Mail Developers - Just ran into this and I have tried many options and just can't get it to work. I am trying to connect to my Gmail account which I had been doing for years, but yesterday it appeared something went off - and I was not seeing the mailbox or messages. I deleted the account from "Internet Accounts" and recreated it - but Mail does not seem to recognize it. See screenshot - Says "Enabled" but the left pane says "Inactive". Now it is doing that for all my 4 accounts in Gmail that I have. Attaching the following images: Internet Accounts - showing one of the accounts which shows the problem Mail/Settings/Accounts Tab - Showing the Enabled but Inactive issue What I have tried so far: Removing all accounts and recreating them Clearing up the following and trying to start all over again ~/Library/Mail folder ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail* Removing keychain entries under Login/Passwords Running Sequoia 15.7.8 (24G814), M1 MBAir, 16GB Latest Update (Tue, Jul 14): Applied the update from this morning 15.7.8 (24G817) and the issue still persists.

Apple Home missing Wind/Rock Mode controls for Matter Tower Fan
Hi Apple Home Team, We are integrating a Matter-enabled Tower Fan with Apple Home and have observed that the current Apple Home UI does not expose all the capabilities defined by the Matter Fan Control cluster. Wind Mode Our device supports the following WindMode values: Normal Natural Sleep However, Apple Home does not provide any UI to view or control the Natural and Sleep wind modes. Only the basic fan controls are available. Rock Mode (Oscillation Direction) Our device also supports the following RockMode values: Off Left-Right Up-Down In Apple Home, we only see a single Oscillation toggle (On/Off). There is no option to select the oscillation direction (e.g., Left-Right or Up-Down). Could you please clarify: Does Apple Home currently support the Matter WindMode attribute of the Fan Control cluster? Is the current On/Off Oscillation control the expected behavior for devices that support multiple RockMode directions? What is the recommended approach for Matter devices that implement multiple RockMode values (e.g., Left-Right and Up-Down)? Are there any plans to add native UI support for Wind Mode and Rock Mode direction selection in a future Apple Home release? Thank you for your support. We look forward to your guidance on the recommended implementation for Apple Home. Thanks, Chintan Patel

Need help of a fellow tester
Hey all, I have been suffering from obesity for a long time, and I recently built an agent to help me manage my weight. The results for me have been great, to say the least. I started at 125kg, 180cm 3 months back. After 90 days, I am at 110.7kg only by making micro-adjustments to what I eat and following the AI assistant's guidance. Hence, I made it an app experience and would love it if someone could help me with testing. I can help them test their apps in return

Sky-grid Protocol Why .pnpk?
I am opening PNPK, an integrated SKYGRID transaction-safety architecture, for technical review. The design introduces two AWS-backed workflows: POST /pnpk/intake Receives a structured transaction and evidence record containing elements such as a network identifier, transaction hash, wallet address, evidence digest, timestamp, nonce, operator condition, and signature. POST /operator/condition Records an operator safety or recovery condition and connects it to SKYGRID emergency routing and controlled response playbooks. The objective is not to claim automatic reversal of completed blockchain transactions. The objective is to make transaction intent, evidence integrity, chronology, authorization, and recovery conditions independently verifiable. The architecture currently uses: • Amazon API Gateway • AWS Lambda • Amazon EventBridge • Amazon DynamoDB • replay and idempotency controls • fail-closed processing I would especially value feedback on the threat model, signature envelope, replay protection, evidence-digest format, chain-neutral identifiers, and safe handling of recovery metadata. No PNPK payload should contain a seed phrase or plaintext private key. #aws #security #web3 #serverless #cybersecurity

iPhone not charging via cable, only Magsafe
The iPhone randomly stopped drawing any power from the power brick, happened yesterday after a walk. Came home, plugged it in and over an hour instead of charging the phones battery percentage decreased to 20% from 30%. I was no where near any liquids that could have possibly damaged the port. Currently, in a country that doesn't have any official apple stores/repair centers, however, went to some local ones. They say that the problem is with the IC block and ask me to pay $200 for it. Quiet hesitant to do so, frankly speaking. Did anyone experience this before or have any suggestions? Thanks! Running IOS 27.3

20 Years of iPhone Ultimate Feature
Can anyone tell me, what would it take for the next year's iPhone to have a mini HDMI and allow owners of the flagship plug it into a Monitor and then install Xcode? This would jut make iPhones the ultimate. How can this feature not be achieved since most of the computing seem to be moving to Cloud AI models anyway? It can have a dual mode. Phone/Computer mode??? Anyone?

Implementing referral program
I have implemented subscription renewals in my app and now want to integrate a referral system. Each user should receive a unique referral code that they can share with others. When a new user signs up using a referral code, both the referrer and the referred user should receive a bonus. What is the best approach to implementing this feature efficiently?
