CarPlay Function lost (26.4 and 26.5 DB)
with the latest updates on two of our iPhones run running 26.4 and the other 26.5 developed beta we have lost the ability to use CarPlay functionality via the Apple certified cable. Both phone showed the phone is connected and it is charging however functionality are greyed out on display in the 2022 Nissan rogue. Bluetooth still function properly as you could send and receive calls. However, functionality via the cable does not work. You cannot play music either. this feature also greyed. A trip to the Nissan dealer for more troubleshooting provided the following. A version 15 iPhone Connect via usb-c cable and functioned properly. As well as an android device. But again, hook up two iPhones one with version 26.5 DB and the other 26.4 both iPhone 14 would not work. After we left the dealership, I had a hunch that the issue with the latest update that both of these phones received over last week. I came home and connected an iPhone 6S which has a much older software version and it connected to CarPlay displayed maps and played music. Hopefully we can get another update soon that will resolve the issue via the lightning cable connection.

Regarding how the book app handles airplane mode.
Hello. I have a question regarding the standard iPadOS Books app. When I try to open a PDF in the standard iPadOS Books app using the sharing function from another app that works offline, the Books app displays the message, "Your iPad is offline. Books could not connect to the Bookstore. Please check your internet connection and try again," and I am unable to open the PDF. Can this problem be resolved by modifying the other app that works offline? Or is this a problem with the Books app itself?

关于iPhone的IOS26系统问题
我是iPhone14PRO机型,自从更新到IOS26以后,发现越更新越差劲,各种掉帧,卡顿,一使用就发热,电池续航能力相比于18.7.2直接少了三分之一,更别说跟IOS16系列相比,IOS26的每个版本都是,越来越差,连最基本的NFC都弄没了,还不让回退IOS18的系统,如果再这么烂下去,建议把参与系统制作的印度人全开除了,实在不会优化系统,建议把古老的IOS6.1.3的封包拿出来重新适配一下各种机型再放出更新,免得像现在一样,越更新越差劲!

time speaking after sending system to sleep
Dear Community, because of a lack of financial investment I'm still using the last version of MacOS Sequoia 15.7.4 with latest and probably last Safari update. Here is the point: When sending system to sleep, screen turns of, keyboard power led turns off, you can hear every 30 minutes an old /dev/hdd backup-disk checking for presence, everything is fine, system's pening. Removing the keyboard from the physical desktop behind the screen with its cable for not making my cat waking it up (generally only possible with the space key, mouse turns off after about 10 minutes.) - so, no chance for the cat! This works great, but here comes the bug: after at least 10 hours of sleeping suddenly my Mac mini 8.1 T2 starts to tell me the time every quarter hour. What the hella is this for a bug? Is it the ghost in this surely old machine? I don't want to turn the speech of time every quarter off, because it's my reminder to not overdue my capacities at the age of 50. Okay, what could this be?

Different app behavior when running on device from Xcode
I have an app I am working on that makes a REST call, updates the UI with the info, and sends a notification. When I run Build and Run my app from Xcode using my iPhone as the destination, it works exactly as I want it to - my REST calls and notifications continue to work when the app is in the background. However, when I run my app that has been installed on my iPhone from the Xcode build/run directly (without Xcode in the picture), it does NOT behave correctly and only works when my app is in the foreground. What am I missing?

App Stuck in Review for Over a Month – Urgent Assistance Required
Hello, My app has been stuck in the App Store review process for approximately one month, with no progress or updates provided during this time. I have sent around 20 emails and also submitted an expedite request due to the critical nature of the issue. Unfortunately, I have not received any response to any of my inquiries. This situation has reached a critical point. Since my app is not functioning properly, I have lost all of my subscribed users, causing both financial loss and damage to my reputation. Based on my previous experience, review times are usually much shorter, so this delay appears highly unusual. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in clarifying the following: Why has my app not been reviewed yet? Why have my emails not received any response? Is there anything further I can do to expedite the review process? I kindly ask for this issue to be investigated and resolved as soon as possible. I am ready to provide any additional information if needed. App Apple ID: 6756207941 I need a response now, please. Don't tell me to send an email because I'm not getting any replies. I just want a review to be conducted. Thank you in advance for your support. Best regards,

Developer account verification
I created my developer account on Wednesday and paid for the subscription straight away, but I’ve been waiting ever since. It says that processing can take up to 48 hours, but I’ve now been waiting for five days and nothing has changed... I’ve contacted customer service but haven’t received a reply. Is this normal?

CPInformationTemplate shows empty bottom action bar on iOS 26.4 even when no buttons are provided
Hi, After updating to iOS 26.4, we noticed a change in the behavior of CPInformationTemplate in CarPlay. Previously, when creating a CPInformationTemplate with an empty array of CPTextButton (no actions), the bottom action bar was not displayed. However, on iOS 26.4, an empty horizontal bar is now always shown at the bottom, even when no buttons are provided. Example: let item = CPInformationItem(title: "Some item...", detail: "") let template = CPInformationTemplate( title: "Bug demo", layout: .twoColumn, items: [item], actions: [] ) Expected behavior: No bottom bar when there are no actions. Actual behavior on iOS 26.4: An empty bottom bar is always visible. Questions: Is this an intentional change in CarPlay UI behavior? Is there any way to hide the action bar when there are no buttons? Are developers now expected to always provide at least one action? This change negatively affects layouts where the template is used for loading or informational states without actions. Thanks.

Namedrop time and location
Namedrop should register a metadata of time and location, so that a search of a contact can be done also by its association to the time and location of exchange. Often times after the contact exchange, the two users forget the name of each other and there is no way to search by "event".

SiriSearchFeedback Crash 30 fois par jour, Siri ne fonctionne pas sur deux iPhones depuis plus d’un an.
SiriSearchFeedback crashing 30 times per day for over a year, Siri completely broken - tried everything Hi, I have been dealing with a persistent Siri bug for over a year across two different iPhones (15 Pro then 16 Pro) and I cannot find a fix anywhere. The symptom is simple : Siri does not work at all. When I check Settings > Privacy > Analytics > Analytics Data, I see around 30 SiriSearchFeedback .ips crash files generated every single day. The bug_type is 313, which points to the parsecd daemon crashing in a loop, preventing Spotlight indexing and Siri from functioning. What I have already tried, all without success : Full restart Toggling Siri and Search settings for every app Disabling and re-enabling Suggest Apps Before Searching Temporary language switch (French to English and back) Deleting Siri and Dictation history from Apple servers Signing out of iCloud and back in Full factory reset, set up as new iPhone with no backup restored Switching to a new device (15 Pro to 16 Pro) The key point : the bug always comes back the moment I sign back into my Apple ID. This makes me think the corruption is stored server-side and synced back automatically with every login. Has anyone solved this permanently ? Is there any way to fully wipe Siri or Spotlight data on Apple's servers beyond the standard Dictation history deletion ? Any help appreciated.

Cellular not initializing on iPadOS 26.4 (resolved by network reset)
We are seeing an issue after updating iPads to iPadOS 26.4 where cellular service is lost until network settings are reset. Environment: Devices managed via Apple Business Manager and Microsoft Intune Carrier: Verizon Confirmed affected devices: iPad (9th generation) eSIM Behavior: After update, device shows no cellular service No prompt to re-activate or re-add the cellular plan The plan appears to still be present on the device Workaround observed: Resetting Network Settings restores service Notes: This does not appear to be a provisioning issue (no need to re-add eSIM) Behavior suggests the cellular/eSIM state may not be initializing correctly after update Toggling Cellular or Airplane mode has not yet been tested for service restoration. We have not yet confirmed whether devices using a physical SIM are affected Still gathering data on scope across additional iPad models Additional observation: We have not observed this behavior on iPhones (e.g., iPhone 16 on iOS 26.4 with LTE remains unaffected) Has anyone else observed similar behavior on iPadOS 26.4, particularly on managed devices or eSIM configurations?

The Proliferation of DarkSword: iOS Exploit Chain Adopted by Multiple Threat Actors
Dear Team, Can you please check and confirm for this security Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) has identified a new iOS full-chain exploit that leveraged multiple zero-day vulnerabilities to fully compromise devices. Based on toolmarks in recovered payloads, we believe the exploit chain to be called DarkSword. Since at least November 2025, GTIG has observed multiple commercial surveillance vendors and suspected state-sponsored actors utilizing DarkSword in distinct campaigns. These threat actors have deployed the exploit chain against targets in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Malaysia, and Ukraine. https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/threat-intelligence/darksword-ios-exploit-chain?hl=en

NEED HELP WITH VOICE MEMOS PLEASE
I have a very important voice memo that I have recorded on my iPad, as I was recording it, it seemed to have completely worked, but for some strange reason the voice memo will not play, download to my filess, I am unable to send it to anyone, and it basically just pops up blank every time I just try to share it. I cannot listen to it and have not been able to listen to it. This is the same on both my iPad and my phone, when I went to Apple, they said to come on here and ask for guidance, and that it might be because my regular iPhone is updated normally but on my iPad, which was the Voice Memo was recorded on is updated To beta. please give me some advice and if there’s any way, I could recover even the transcript of the voice message because it is truly so important to me. The sound waves are there and everything and I just don’t understand why it will not play on either device. I have also tried copying it. I have also tried trimming the beginning and it’s like the data is there, but it will not play.
