First App for Mac (Memory Pro) Node-Based Diagram
Greetings Apple Communithy, Caraveo here, I am attempting to create an node-based diagram app... this is my first app. I am want to create an app that will help me personally organize my career, ideas, and projects. Its a document based app.... that allows users to store files into a .memory extension. For example users will be able to create a file called "myBook.memory" I am attempting to create a work-flow where users can "clone" files into each node. PDFs, Documents, Audio, Video, Media, etc. They can then just work with their .memory file and share it, back it up, manage it... To me this is very important..... it will help me immensely... its a new super simple way to manage your ideas. Please learn more here.... MemoryProApp.com I need a co-coder, alpha testers, and anyone that is interested in working on this project. I am having issues with the file attachements and the documentation saving is failing on me for some reason. Thank you everyone!

How to Keep Live Activity in Expanded Dynamic Island State (ActivityKit, iOS 17+)
I'm building a Live Activity using ActivityKit in iOS, and I'm trying to understand how apps like Uber or Lyft manage to keep the Dynamic Island always in its expanded state, without transitioning through the compact phase. In my implementation, the Live Activity always starts in the compact state, and only expands temporarily when I interact with it. I've tried the following: Updating the ContentState frequently using activity.update(using:) I tried updating the activity every 1 second, but it didn’t make a difference. Leaving the compactLeading, compactTrailing, and minimal regions empty using EmptyView() — also didn’t change the behavior. Delaying the initial update by 1 second — no effect. What I'm trying to figure out: Is there any way to programmatically force or request the Dynamic Island to stay in the expanded state? Could this behavior be achieved through push updates, using apns-push-type: liveactivity and a high priority (apns-priority)? What I’m trying to achieve is similar to the behavior shown in the images below — the apps do not transition to the compact island, but instead displays the expanded view immediately. Example:

Messages app (iOS) - unintentional trigger of voice memo
There appears to be a bug or a hidden feature where after sending a message in Messages and you hover over or touch near the back button in the top left, voice memo activates and starts recording. This is an unexpected behavior and it has been an issue going back several iOS releases to the current release. This has happened on various phone models, so it isn't limited to a specific model. In addition, (and yes, this does add a second bug/issue) there is a hidden feature where touching in the top left of a message thread, above the back button, causes the focus of the message thread to jump back to some texts/messages from an earlier time. This is unexpected and seems like it should be addressed.

A wired keyboard connected via a hub cannot wake up the iPad on iOS version after 18.0
Problem Description: On the iPad 10th tablet, when a USB 2.0 interface extended by a Type - C interface through a USB 2.0 hub is used to connect a keyboard, there is an issue that the keyboard cannot wake up the system when the system version is 18.0 (inclusive) or higher. However, this problem does not occur on systems earlier than 18.0. Note: To ensure low power consumption of the product, if there is no key press on the keyboard for 10 minutes, the power supply of some functions of the hub will be cut off, but the power supply of the keyboard will remain on. When a key is pressed, the power supply of all functions of the hub will be reconnected.

Ongoing Device Setup ios 18.4 beta
Hi all, after installing ios 18.4 beta here in Europe (and also resetting and restoring my iphone given Apple Intelligence features were not working at all initially) my phone decided to reoptimise my whole photo library which took a while and I understand it was a battery consuming process. Nonetheless, this is all done, all Apple intelligence features supposedly work and my phone is still in ongoing device setup burning through the battery to the point I am sure this will make my battery health drop. does anyone know what is going on (indexing?), how long it will take and why is it happening? Is it because of the 18.4 beta or because of having Apple Intelligence for the first time? can someone please confirm that at the very least this will NOT have to take place again after moving to the official 18.4? thanks

Question about Apple partnerships
I see games like Resident Evil and others have a partnership with Apple to help bring it to the MacOS and iOS platform and I was wondering if anyone knows how a company gets these partnerships, is it Apple who reaches out or do they have to reach out?

The dependencies are listed in the Link Binary with Libraries section. I have am using the latest versions of OS and Xocod and have reinstalled both to try and resolve this issue with no luck.

FocusState Issue with TextFields in ScrollView on iPad (iOS 18.0)
When using a VStack containing two TextFields inside a ScrollView on an iPad running iOS 18.0, the FocusState of the topmost TextField does not trigger, while the second TextField's FocusState works correctly. Adding an invisible TextField on top resolves the issue, but it appears to be a bug specifically in iOS 18.0 on iPads. This issue does not occur on iOS versions below or above 18.0 (including iOS 18.1). Code that is not working struct ContentView: View { @State var text: String = "" @FocusState private var focusState: Bool var body: some View { ScrollView(.vertical, content: { VStack(spacing: 0) { TextField(text: $text) { Text("Hello, World!") } .border(focusState ? Color.red : Color.gray) .focused($focusState) .onChange(of: focusState) { oldValue, newValue in print(newValue) } .onChange(of: text) { oldValue, newValue in focusState = true } } }) .padding() } } Code that is working struct ContentView: View { @State var text: String = "" @FocusState private var focusState: Bool var body: some View { ScrollView(.vertical, content: { VStack(spacing: 0) { // Invisible Text Field TextField("", text: .constant("")) .frame(height: 0) TextField(text: $text) { Text("Hello, World!") } .border(focusState ? Color.red : Color.gray) .focused($focusState) .onChange(of: focusState) { oldValue, newValue in print(newValue) } .onChange(of: text) { oldValue, newValue in focusState = true } } }) .padding() } }

iPhone 16 Pro boot loop with iOS 18.4 beta
I installed iOS 18.4 on Friday evening, all worked well during Saturday and Sunday, Monday morning the Phone rebooted and appeared to have installed an Update, I didn´t notice, I was about to answer a WhatsApp and the TestFlight beta didn´t start up, a renew of the App was not possible due to TestFlight not being available. So I thought a reboot would help, but I did a reset, since then BOOT LOOP. I brought in recovery mode, updated with the 18.4 ipsw, no change - BOOT LOOP

Restart Issue iPhone 14 Pro Max
I have a iPhone 14 Pro Max device with iOS 18.2.1 but I am facing an in which the device gets restart abruptly.Interestingly, today the device is not restarting at all. I attempted a hard reset by pressing the volume up button, followed by the volume down button, and then holding the power button, but this method was unsuccessful. When I connect the device to a charger, the Apple logo appears, but it disappears after a short period, and the device does not progress beyond this point. I would appreciate any assistance in recovering my device.Has anyone experienced the same issue with the iPhone 14 series?

ArAnchor shifts
I encountered some issues while developing a Vision Pro program using Unity. After binding an ARAnchor to a game object, I overlapped the virtual game object with a real-world cup. However, when I moved around with the Vision Pro on, the virtual game object shifted, causing the real-world cup and the virtual object to no longer coincide. Is there a way to solve this?

Alternate App Icon Change Does Not Reflect in Notification Center on iOS 18.1+
When changing the app's alternate icon using UIApplication.setAlternateIconName(_:completionHandler:), the icon is updated correctly on the Home Screen and App Switcher. However, in Notification Center, the old app icon is still shown for notifications, even after the change has completed. Rebooting or change the device's language causes the correct icon to appear. This issue only occurs on iOS 18.1 and later. In iOS 18.0 and earlier, Notification Center correctly reflects the updated icon. Could you provide insights into how iOS caches notification icons and how we can force a refresh for all users?
