Internet Sharing Wi-Fi starts as open network despite WPA2/WPA3 password configuration
On recent versions of macOS (including current betas), when enabling Internet Sharing from Ethernet to Wi-Fi, the configured WPA2/WPA3 password is ignored and the shared network is broadcast as an open (unsecured) network. Steps to Reproduce: Connect Mac to Ethernet via USB/LAN adapter Go to System Settings > General > Sharing > Internet Sharing Set up Wi-Fi options with a valid WPA2/WPA3 password Enable Internet Sharing Expected Behavior: Devices should see a password-protected Wi-Fi network with a lock icon and require authentication. Actual Behavior: The network appears unsecured (no lock icon) Devices like iPhone connect without entering a password This can be verified immediately from iOS Wi-Fi settings Additional Notes: Reproducible across macOS 15.5 RC and 16.0,26.0 Developer Beta Feedback has been submitted via Feedback Assistant multiple times This is a serious security risk if used in public or shared environments Has anyone else experienced this? Any known workarounds besides terminal-level defaults or Plist edits? Thanks in advance!

BLE advertisement and scan response
Dear Apple: If a BLE advertisement carries both a 16-bit service UUIDs and a 128-bit service UUIDs along with a local name, the local name will be placed in the scan response, then when the advertisement is turned off, both the 16-bit and 128-bit service UUIDs disappear while the local name persists. Subsequently, when transmitting a new advertisement that includes the 16-bit service UUIDs and local name, the resulting advertisement contains two local names. What methods can be used to avoid having two local names appearing simultaneously?Thanks

Publish old demo code from Apple on GitHub
I was searching for demo code from WWDC 2015 (Maze: Getting Started with GamePlayKit). Turns out, Apple remove the project from their website. But I finally found the project on my Mac because I must have downloaded it in the past. Does anyone know if I'm allowed to put that project to a public GitHub page without any modifications? Has anyone of you experience with this? I think it's really bad that Apple is removing those old projects. And as this particular project is in ObjC it compiles with only minor adjustments.

Smarter Wi-Fi Prioritization for Energy Efficiency.
Hey everyone, I've got a feature suggestion for iOS that I believe would significantly benefit users by optimizing battery life and data usage through more intelligent Wi-Fi prioritization. While iOS already favors Wi-Fi over cellular when available (due to its lower power consumption), there's room to enhance this behavior with more granular user control. My proposal is to introduce an explicit option: "Prioritize Wi-Fi for Energy Saving." How It Could Work Global Toggle (Settings > Wi-Fi or Settings > Battery): A simple switch that makes the iPhone more "aggressive" in maintaining a Wi-Fi connection. When active, it would reduce the likelihood of switching to cellular data during minor Wi-Fi signal fluctuations. This ensures the device stays on the more energy-efficient Wi-Fi network for longer periods, even if cellular signal is strong. This could also subtly influence Wi-Fi Assist, making it less eager to use cellular when Wi-Fi is slightly weak but still usable, prioritizing energy savings. Per-Network Option (Settings > Wi-Fi > [Network Name] > "i" icon): Adding an option like "Prioritize This Network for Energy Saving" within individual Wi-Fi network settings. This would be perfect for trusted networks like home or work, where users want to ensure maximum battery life. The iPhone would then make an extra effort to remain connected to that specific Wi-Fi network. Integration with Low Power Mode: For seamless optimization, this feature could automatically be enabled or its behavior enhanced when Low Power Mode is active, aligning perfectly with the goal of battery conservation. Key Benefits Extended Battery Life: By consistently favoring the more energy-efficient Wi-Fi radio, we minimize cellular power draw. Reduced Cellular Data Use: Helps prevent accidental or unnecessary shifts to cellular data, saving precious megabytes. Greater User Control: Gives users who prioritize battery longevity and data limits a direct tool to fine-tune their device's network behavior. This feature would be a valuable enhancement to iOS, offering users more control and a genuinely optimized experience.

Hello All, I would like to nominate my app for the coveted position of a “featured app.” However, it appears that I would have had to submitted the app before it went live a few weeks ago. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there another form out there to fill out the app information for submission? Thank you for any help! Darien Pilates Mastery™

Severe battery drain on Apple Watch SE2 after updating to watchOS 26.0 beta
I am writing to report a significant battery drain issue after updating my Apple Watch SE (2nd generation) to watchOS 26.0 beta. Since the update, my watch’s battery life has drastically decreased: it goes from 100% to 0% in just 6 hours, whereas previously, under my typical usage, a single charge would last about 1.5 days. I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps without success: 1. Performed a fresh reset of the watch. 2. Reset my iPhone. 3. Disabled background app activity. 4. Enabled airplane mode and power saving mode. 5. Disabled Live Activities and Photo Memories Despite these measures, the issue persists. The battery health of my watch is at 90%, so I believe this is likely related to the software update. I am quite concerned about this situation. I have researched and noticed that similar battery drain problems were reported by beta testers of watchOS 11, and unfortunately, there appeared to be no clear resolution at that time. I rely on my Apple Watch daily, and I sincerely hope this can be addressed soon. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this issue, as it is significantly affecting the usability of my Apple Watch. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Questions about BLE broadcasting in version 26
After upgrading to iOS system 26, the local name broadcast type is 08, but before upgrading, it is 09 and will be included in the scan resp message; In version 26, the scan resp will also include Manufacturer Specific Data. Before the upgrade, the broadcast message may not necessarily include Manufacturer Specific Data; What I want to ask is, are there any restrictions on Bluetooth broadcasting in version 26? Is it necessary to include Manufacturer Specific Data data? If Manufacturer Specific Data data is included, it may cause fields in the local name broadcast to be truncated and use simple names of type 08

tvOS 18.3 Beta Bug
Hello :-) I‘m not entirely sure, if I‘m on the correct Place here. But I would like to report a Bug with tvOS 18.3 (latest beta) to the Apple Engineers! When maximizing an app, a clear color jump occurs. The home screen is more colorful than the open app! You can easily force this: open an app, e.g. the App Store back to the home screen open the app again now you can see a color jump of the GUI!!! The color becomes paler when the app is open. On the home screen it is more colorful again! The problem occurs with every app! So it is a global tvOS Bug! I can also send an example video if that's helpful! Best regards, Christian :-)

Apple Music Preview URLs from MusicKit
Hey guys, I've been searching high and low for some clarity when it comes to this topic. Essentially, what is the legality/risk of using apple music previews in my app. Does Apple license the previews meaning they are fair to use as long as I link to that URL? Do i need to license every song individually? I can not find anything concrete out and while the apple team let my app (that currently plays preview urls) on the app store I know that doesn't necessarily legally cover me. Any input is appreciated, i know this is a pretty niche area.

Xcode-beta project ORSOFINAL: SwiftShims & C99 PCH errors after migration from Xcode stable
Hi all, I’m running into a persistent build issue with my Swift project ORSOFINAL after migrating from Xcode stable to Xcode-beta.app (June 2025 version). ⸻ 💥 Errors displayed: 1. C99 was enabled in PCH file but is currently disabled 2. module file .../ModuleCache.noindex/SwiftShims-AXUM98L131W4...pcm cannot be loaded due to a configuration mismatch with the current compilation 3. missing required module 'SwiftShims' ⸻ 🛠 What I’ve already tried: • xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer • Deleted ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData, ModuleCache.noindex, Archives, and Products • Ran sudo xcodebuild -runFirstLaunch • Clean Build Folder in Xcode-beta • Verified Command Line Tools setting points to Xcode-beta ⸻ ❓Looking for guidance on: • Whether this is a known bug in Xcode-beta • If SwiftShims/PCM conflicts are expected between versions • Best practices to safely migrate from Xcode stable to beta for Swift-based projects Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks, Mathéo

Caution: watchOS 26 Beta 2 (may) brick Hermes variants
Exercise caution applying Beta 2 on a Hermes Apple Watch. A number of anecdotes (including my own) that this causes very rapid battery drain, i.e. minutes, followed by a cycle of lower power mode, and very slow charge as battery drain seems as fast as charge so it tops out in low single digit %. Any interaction seems to cause the cycle to recur, rendering the watch in effect unusable. The connection to the phone is also broken, with the Watch app crashing after 1–2 seconds, 100% repeatably. This post is to caution avoidance, but a fix is going to be problematic if the watch can't get anywhere near 50% charge. The "anecdata" that this is widespread specifically with Hermes watches is: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/watchos-26-beta-thread.2458443/page-5?post=33976625#post-33976625 And: https://www.reddit.com/r/watchOSBeta/comments/1lipud8/comment/mzh6ekt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Emailed through developer.apple.com with case ID 102630146259.

Running IOS18.5 Beta on iPhone 16 Pro Max
I'm running IOS 18.5 on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. If I delete an email on my iPhone, it is still in the inbox on my iMac. If I delete an email on my iMac it is deleted from the inbox on my iPhone. Is this because of the Beta software on my phone?
