Hello everyone! I'm a newly graduated Computer Engineer living in Türkiye. I've been developing my skills in the iOS field for a while now. But sometimes I get lost and don't know what to do. I've just joined this community and have a request for you. I'd be very grateful if you could share your own advice, experiences you've had along the way, and how you successfully overcame them. I'm open to all kinds of positive or negative feedback. Self-improvement is paramount to me.

I set iOS 26 to install overnight, put my iPhone 16 Pro on the MagSafe charger, watched it charge just fine, and went to sleep. When I woke up the iPhone showed the “plug into power” dead battery screen. I took it off MagSafe and put it back on. A half hour later the phone was warm but still wouldn’t power on, just showed the battery screen with a little red in it. I took it off MagSafe and plugged it into my iPad charging brick with USB cable to give it more power, still it did not turn on. I tried holding all the buttons to try to force a restart but didn’t work.
For anyone else encountering this, do this to enter DFU mode and restore it. I had to do it a few times before I got the timing right.
Plug into your Mac and open Finder (or apparently a PC with Apple Devices or iTunes)
Press and quickly release volume up
Press and quickly release volume down
Press and hold right side button
When the battery disappears and screen goes black, hold volume down and continue holding side button
After a couple seconds release the side button and continue holding volume down
A prompt to allow connecting to the iPhone should appear after a couple seconds, click Allow, and it’ll say the iPhone entered DFU mode - proceed to restore the firmware

Both Apple and third-party apps in CarPlay are not displaying properly after updating to iOS 26 public beta two. I submitted feedback, wondering if anybody else had this problem and have solved it. The only apps that appear to be working normally are map apps like Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze. The others show only background, but if you tap on the touchscreen it will perform an action as if the tile/link is there, but invisible
I've been trying to add my bank info to my account on AppStore connect, but nothing seems to work. Even searching for my bank does not work for me. Even tried searching for any other bank does not work. Keeps giving error messages.
Anyone else experiencing this issue?

My phone can't charge higher than 1% and turns off every 5 minutes, even connecting to wireless charger and cable at the same time don't work, restored iPhone thru iTunes.I hope I will be able to install new beta without any problems because loving the new design,hoping for the best. Thanks.

What OS will a Swift Student Challenge submission run on? I want to use iOS 26 features but the version history for Swift Playground doesn’t show it being updated past the iOS 17.5 SDK. So, can I still use features from the iOS 26 SDK?
https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreservernotifications/app-store-server-notifications-changelog#June-10-2024
ONE_TIME_CHARGE notify type running in a sandbox environment for almost a year, the feature is not yet available for production environment.
The notification is already available in Google subscriptions.
Our services often miss orders because of the absence of this notification.
Can you give us an approximate time range?

So I downloaded and installed iOS26 on my iPhone 15 Pro and after that it does not want to boot anymore. It shows a battery with one red line. Which is weird because before it restarted it had 80% of the battery and I had the power cable connected at all time. Now I can't boot it up anymore. Not even with the volume button up, down, power button trick. Please help!
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?

When attempting to use apple promotional offers for subscriptions I consistently receive the popup that says "Offer Not Available" for both production and sandbox. Without offer code purchase working fine. I have verified the App Store Connect setup and client side code and even created new offer codes also, but I have hit a dead end.
Error:- (Error Domain=SKErrorDomain Code=18 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x280dbb0f0 {Error Domain=ASDServerErrorDomain Code=3904 "Offer Not Available" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offer Not Available}}})
I’m experiencing an issue on macOS Tahoe (Developer Beta, July 2025) related to the new “Allow in Menu Bar” section in System Settings.
After uninstalling the application Backdrop (developer: Cindori), the entry com.cindori.Backdrop.Wallpaper still appears in the list of apps allowed to show in the menu bar, even though:
— The app and all its associated files have been fully deleted.
— The LaunchAgents files in ~/Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchAgents have been removed.
— Preferences have been deleted via defaults delete com.cindori.Backdrop and defaults delete com.cindori.Backdrop.Wallpaper.
— The system has been restarted.
It seems the “Allow in Menu Bar” section keeps phantom references to apps or agents even after complete cleanup.
Could you please confirm if this is expected behavior (perhaps for future reactivation) or a bug?
Is there any official method or recommended command to permanently remove such residual entries from this list?
Thank you very much for your help and clarifications.

Guideline 2.3.1 - Performance
The app contains hidden features.
Specifically, we still noticed that your app includes code which causes it to behave differently during the review process regarding web game presentation and payment. It would be appropriate to ensure that all features and functions in the app are visible and fully accessible during review.
Guideline 3.1.1 - Business - Payments - In-App Purchase
The app allows users to purchase digital content natively or via a web view in the app using payment mechanisms other than in-app purchase. Apps cannot include in-app payment mechanisms other than in-app purchase. Apps on the United States storefront may also include buttons, external links, or other calls to action to direct users to payment mechanisms other than in-app purchase.
We have been rejected three times due to hidden functions and issues with web payment and web games. However, in the last package we submitted for review, it was confirmed that the code related to web games was removed, and the code related to web interaction JS bridging payment calls was also removed
Dear experts, we sincerely invite you to offer your valuable suggestions. If you have any experience of meeting us, please share with us. We would be extremely grateful
Hello,
is it allowed to use Foundation Model in the app? Will it work when launched on the jury's device, or will it not work because the jury will not enable Apple Intelligence?
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

I'm suddenly receiving zero products from SKProductsRequest, even though this setup previously worked without issues. The debugger shows that both of my product identifiers are now being returned under invalidIdentifiers, and response.products is empty.
I’ve confirmed the following:
There are no pending agreements in App Store Connect.
The subscription is active and configured correctly.
The product identifiers match exactly with what’s defined in App Store Connect.
Here is the delegate method I'm using (unchanged from when it previously worked):
extension UpgradeViewModelProvider: SKProductsRequestDelegate {
func productsRequest(_ request: SKProductsRequest, didReceive response: SKProductsResponse) {
if response.products.count > 0 {
delegate.send(.onProduct(response.products))
}
}
}
Since everything was functioning before, I’m trying to understand what may have caused the identifiers to suddenly be marked as invalid. Any guidance or suggestions on what to check next would be greatly appreciated.
.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 everyone, after installing iOS 26, I noticed that on my iPhone 13 Pro, which had its battery replaced, the battery status in the settings shows 0%, and the phone does not charge more than 1%, no matter how long I leave it plugged in. The same problem is observed on iPhones 14 and lower where the battery (FB18154101) was replaced.»
