Hi there,
I am new to Xcode26 and dragged my AppIcon.icon (created with Icon Composer) into the project. Then build failed with "Could not locate icontool".
Could anyone point me to the cleanest way to solve this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

With ios 26 the chapter images are not updating anymore. At first I thought this is carlay related but it also occures when the phone is connected only through USB or bluetooth to play a podcast. I tried Apple podcasts and other apps like Pocketcast or audible. Same problem. The phone shows the correct chapter image while my car shows the inital image all the time. Even tried a different car :-)
I checked focus and settings but found nothing related.
With ios18 everything works fine.
Any ideas?
.fullScreenCover(isPresented: $isShow) {
Button(action : {
isPresented.toggle()
}){
Text("Choose")
}
.familyActivityPicker(
isPresented: $isPresented,
selection: $selection)
.onChange(of: selection){ value in
}
}
In the official version of iOS 18, when I click the Done button of familyActivityPicker, the fullScreenCover pop-up box will disappear.
Hello Apple Developer Community,
I need some assistance with my account. I created a new developer account for a new project I am working on, and paid the apple developer fee. Everything was working fine for a few weeks, I was able to get my app on TestFlight and invite testers to it, as well as push updates and get feedback. The testers were family/business partners.
As of a few days ago, I was locked out of my account. I first tried resetting my password, and was then met with an email claiming my account was locked with no additional information.
I am trying to understand how I can either unlock my account, or transfer my existing app to a new account, so that I do not have to bother my users with downloading a new app. Additionally, I would like some help in understanding how I can safeguard myself from this issue in the future, especially given this would not be fun if my app were published.
Could anyone please assist me, provide me with any advice, or point me to a place where I could get support? I spent 25 minutes on the phone with apple support, and was treated excellently as I've come to expect of Apple, but unfortunately was not given any help as the support did not have additional information. I'm hoping I'm asking in the right place, and can get some help!
Thanks in advance,
Fritz

I am writing to report an issue encountered while testing the iOS 26 beta. It appears that adding VPN configurations is currently not possible in this version.
Specifically, attempts to add a new VPN configuration through the Settings app or via programmatic configuration profiles are unresponsive.
As VPN functionality is essential for a number of development and enterprise use cases, I would appreciate it if your team could confirm whether this is a known issue, or provide guidance on any changes to VPN configuration handling in iOS 26.
Please let me know if additional diagnostic information or logs would be helpful.
Thank you for your support and for providing access to the iOS 26 beta.
Best regards,
Majid

Dear Apple Developer team,
dear Apple Developer community,
I’m posting this publicly because I honestly don’t know how else to get a response.
Timeline:
December 3rd: I applied for the Apple Developer Program and received the confirmation email:
“Your program enrollment has been received.”
After that: complete silence for weeks – no status updates, no emails, nothing.
End of December: Only after I opened a support ticket myself did I receive a response asking me to upload additional documents.
January 12th: I uploaded all requested documents in full.
Since then: silence again.
Last Monday, I sent a follow-up email → no reply.
Today (January 26th), I opened a new ticket, referencing the existing case number.
Honestly, I have to ask:
Where is the professionalism in this process?
For comparison:
The Google Play Developer account verification (including identity and company checks) took around 24 hours.
Apple is one of the most valuable technology companies in the world.
Why does a basic developer enrollment take over two months, without transparent communication or even a simple status update?
At this point, I would really appreciate:
a clear status update, or
at least a realistic timeline for when this process will be completed
Right now, this experience feels neither professional nor developer-friendly.
Thank you for reading, and I sincerely hope for a timely response.

since updating from 18.3 to 18.4, both on cellular and WiFi Networks I can’t connect to the internet.
Since the phone wont connect to the internet I’m not able to turn off “find my iPhone“ to restore my iPhone to iOS 18.3
this way my iPhone is useless
any ideas / thoughts about this?
I'm trying to understand how UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor behaves when an iOS app is restored via iCloud onto a different physical device.
Context
I'm building an app that needs to detect whether it’s running on a newly restored device (for example, after the user transfers their iPhone via iCloud setup).
To do this, I save the value of UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString in persistent storage (e.g., UserDefaults).
The question
If I install my app on Device A, store the identifierForVendor value, back up the device to iCloud,
and then restore that backup onto Device B, will the restored app see the same identifierForVendor value, or a new one?
More specifically:
Does iCloud backup/restore preserve the underlying “vendor” ID across devices?
Is the identifierForVendor tied only to the bundle identifier and vendor prefix, or also to the physical device hardware?
If the user deletes all apps from the same vendor, then restores them from iCloud, is the ID reset?
What I’ve found so far
Apple’s docs say:
“The value of this property is the same for apps that come from the same vendor running on the same device.
If the user deletes all of that vendor’s apps from the device and then reinstalls one or more of them, the value may change.”
However, it doesn’t explicitly mention what happens after iCloud restore onto a new device.
Goal
I want to know if it’s safe to use identifierForVendor to detect a new device context (e.g., trigger a refresh of a Firebase token when the user’s device changes).
Environment
iOS 17+ (latest)
Swift / Capacitor app bridge
Testing between iPhone 14 Pro → iPhone 15 Pro (iCloud restore)
Hello everyone, on August 31st, all the apps in my personal developer account were suddenly expired and deleted, I have not received any response from Apple. My apps are in compliance with Apple's policies. I then uploaded a new version and sent it to the review team, but I received the following error "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later."
I have contacted Apple via Email and Phone but no one cares about my problem.
Has anyone had the same situation as me, I am really worried.
Hello,
Can anyone tell me what this means? Or if it's normal?
I'm seeing about 10% battery drain per day on sleep, and pmset -g log shows wakes nearly every minute.

Since updating to iOS 18.4 the auto-lock on iPhone 16 Pro isn’t functioning. All settings remain unchanged from previous versions, however the display will not turn off.
Same iOS on my older iPhone 11 doesn’t have the issue and screen turns off as usual with the same system settings.
Have tried a force restart on the 16 Pro, nothing changed. Any ideas?

(It’s my first post so idk if i’m in the right place)
I have been testing iOS 26 since launch and it is great (kind of buggy but that’s to be expected). I have come across an issue though : government and banking apps either crash or get stuck on splashscreen on launch.
Do you think it is something that is gonna be fixed on the apple side of things, or that it’s gonna be for the developers to figure out compatibility ? (I am asking because governments don’t tend to be quick to fix problems so i am hoping it not the latter)
Any idea?

I tried to update to the currently released beta version of iPad OS26, but
I can't seem to update due to lack of storage space on my iPad.
Is there any other way to update besides freeing up space?
Model: iPad 8
Storage: 18GB/32GB
I would appreciate it if anyone has any information on how to free up storage space in order to update to iPad OS26.

This is unique situation, save your rhetoric calling me crazy unless you’re willing to look at the evidence I’ve collected over the last 2 years.
My entire family is being stalked and harassed by a DOD Contractor named Galapagos Federal Systems. They are literally using our identities to and accounts they’ve created to run Amazon Marketplace Business Accounts as sellers. They have amended my tax returns and they have hijacked my domain, which is MauiEasyRiders.Com. It’s pretty easy to see that they’ve hikacked my domain as they are using more than 20 ports around the clock, and I had to walk away from my business of 15 years because of a DDoS attack that is literally impossible to escape. These people are the lowest of the low. They have 250 million dollars in DODcontracts and they are registered as a small section 8a Native Hawaiian owned business, regardless of the fact that the owner is not Hawaiian and not from Hawaii, and the business was formed in Delaware. Their headquarters is literally a house in a neighborhood with nothing but a big ass can in the driveway, no traffic, no offices, just spook government hacks. I’ve mailed a complaint to the DOD hotline, been to the FBI in person, filled out all the forms online for every possible agency, filed police reports, nobody will even glance at the data I’ve accumulated and meticulously detailed, both in pdf format and on paper. They’re using my mothers identity and the identities of my two adult sons. It’s ridiculous. I literally have 90 Ip addresses in my DNS Leak Test and my home WiFi is hosting 190 IP Addresses. They have a Cisco business account in my name with over two hundred ASA and Fire IO devices that are years out of date. I have their exploit data, names, email addresses, absolutely everything I could possibly need that anyone investigating fraud would ask for, yet these parasites continue to carry out their crimes as if the law doesn’t apply to them. The only thing I have not tried is going to my Representatives from Washington in person. Anyone have any ideas? I’m happy to share data if anyone is interested in seeing it, even if you’re not interested in helping I’m happy to share all the info I can on their fraud.
Thanks in advance!

Hey there,
I recently updated my iPhone to the iOS 26 developers beta version, and I’m encountering an issue on the Software Update page. It says “Unable to check for updates,” and I’m unable to revert to iOS 18.
Is this a temporary problem? Will I be able to update my iPhone in the future without needing to reset it?
Thanks

I'm working on a SwiftUI application that uses a couple different webviews in a tabview to render some mdx and codemirror editor.
The editor webview, the one that's much more complicated works as expected. Some errors appear in the console due to what I imagine is a race condition that I'll get around to fixing, but it works as expected.
The other webview which just renders a single, local html file to display a dead simple summary absolutely refuses to work. It first appears to work as expected (shows the same 'return type unsupported' error in the console though) on the initial request, but then refuses to process any JS functions for that particular webview. Even the functions themselves are being used between the two webviews, and they work as expected in the other. Even worse, when I copy and paste the generated JS code into the safari dev tools it works as expected, even in the broken webview.
I've spent almost 12 hours on this today so far, and have made zero progress. I've tried commenting out just about the entire website to narrow it down on the JS side without success, and I've done everything I can think of on the swift side.
To be transparent, I'm very new to Swift and SwiftUI, having only picked it up a few weeks ago, but I'm an experienced developer and every obvious solution fails to work.
From what I've gathered, this might have something to do with the first function call failing, despite the fact that it appears to work on the first function call, but then the javascript engine refusing to process additional requests. I'm not sure if that's the cause, but it certainly seems to make sense.
Is there a way to debug this more completely? Like I said, I'm very new to Swift and still missing neovim, so I'm still getting comfortable with the apple ecosystem of devtools, but I can't even figure out how to print out the return type since it fails before I'm able to inspect anything on the safari side
I did notice this error in the console as well, and I'm not quite sure what to make of it:
Error acquiring assertion: <Error Domain=RBSServiceErrorDomain Code=1 "((target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent))" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=((target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.rendering AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.networking AND target is not running or doesn't have entitlement com.apple.developer.web-browser-engine.webcontent))}>
And as I was digging for that one, I just noticed this:
WebContent[32934] 0x102011208 - [webPageID=306] WebPage::runJavaScriptInFrameInScriptWorld: Request to run JavaScript failed with error SecurityError: The operation is insecure.
What would trigger a security warning for running javascript against a local file?
Any help is greatly appreciated... this is driving me crazy.
My iPhone 11 has iOS 18.4 Beta and my new iPhone 16e isn’t supported for iOS 18.4 Beta (for now) and is on iOS 18.3.1 Beta. If anyone knows when it’ll be supported please let me know.
I have updated my iPhone 14 Pro to iOS 26 without any problems.
I also have AirPod Pro A2698 version 7E93.
The new update of the firmware is not shown.developer mode is activated.on the pre-release is AirPod Pro visible if connected but no possibility for an update.what am I doing wrong or is there any thing I have to wait for thank you
