Hello, I’m facing a significant challenge. Due to the nature of my work, I use five phones to run several businesses in different sectors. What I like about Apple is that, thanks to iCloud, things like photos and notes are synchronised across etc., all my devices. I really need this feature. Previously, I could select from the menu whether I wanted items such as call history and messages to be visible on other devices. However, from version 26 onwards, this option was removed from the settings for both calls and messages. This means that if I tick the synchronisation box – which I do for backup purposes, in case I lose my phone – my messages are suddenly synchronised across all five devices. This is a major problem, as I cannot tell which number a caller rang me on or which number a text message was sent to. However, if I switch off iCloud synchronisation, items such as messages and calls do not appear in the backup itself. This makes absolutely no sense. The button in the settings that used to let me choose whether to see calls and messages on other devices has completely disappeared. These options were definitely there up to version 26.3. This is a significant issue if you use multiple devices under a single iCloud account, each with its own number. I’d really appreciate an urgent response. I’d be happy to discuss this issue with a developer via private email or an online call. Thank you very much. Have a lovely day. Vladimir Michalek

Hey everyone, I’m new to here and have very basic Knowledge so was hoping one of you geniuses could help me. I have had my devices hacked into remotely and monitored remotely for a number of weeks now. I have done all the security measures including erasing, new phone, sim, Vpns etc and still have the issue of my phone network being accessed. I believe code has been added to my phone or apps but I just don’t know what it looks like. I was hoping someone could take a look at some code for me and help me work it out as it has been driving me nuts. im not sure if I can post this on here so apologies if I offend anyone by doing so but I would be ever so grateful of some help. Thank you. Paul

Will iOS 27 still communicate with Mac Ventura (like iOS 26 does)? I am wondering if someone knows and can give first hand knowledge from beta on this issue in regards to iOS 27 that should come out later this year. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice from anyone who has experienced a similar issue. My Apple Developer Program membership is active and has already been renewed by Apple Support. However, I am still facing an issue that is preventing me from operating my business. I have already opened a support case (Case #20000122393733) and sent multiple follow-up messages, but I have not received any response for several days. Because of this issue: My business operations are currently blocked. My production application and customers are being affected. I am experiencing financial losses every day the issue remains unresolved. I would really appreciate any help from someone who has faced the same problem. Could you please share: What was the cause of your issue? How was it resolved? How long did Apple take to fix it? Is there any way to escalate the case or contact the appropriate team? Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

growing up with apple now cu I was devolping a apps for studio record but erease for many reason first at all tracker on my deck so more secure with apple privacy and not google account

iPhone 17, iOS 26.5.2 When I am watching videos on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube and receive a phone call, the video continues playing during the call instead of pausing automatically. It would be great if these apps could automatically pause playback when a phone call is answered.

Hello everyone, I’m Anton, 16 years old, from Russia. I’m already registered in the Apple Certification Records System with Candidate ID APPL475224, and I want to take the ACSP exam. I’m not a programmer — I’m deeply into Apple devices: iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, and know iOS/macOS well. I’ve already contacted Apple Support and got Case ID 21352800. Now I’m looking for practical advice from people who’ve been through this: Is the ACSP exam fully available in Russian? How do you actually pay for the exam from Russia these days? Any materials you’d recommend? I’m not a developer — I’m a support specialist. I want to be certified so I can help people here in Russia. Not for money — just so people can trust that I know what I’m talking about. Thanks in advance!

My location is very lagging now unlike before

I hired an app developer to build an app for me, and we're now at the final stage of development. He says he needs my Apple ID login credentials so he can publish the app through Xcode. However, I have already invited him to my Apple Developer Program account and granted him the App Developer role with the necessary permissions. Does he really need my Apple ID login credentials to publish the app, or should the permissions I already granted be sufficient? Unfortunately, Apple Support hasn't been able to answer this question.

Immediately after updating to macOS Sequoia 15.7.8, Google accounts stopped authenticating in Apple Mail. Internet Accounts shows Mail enabled, but the accounts do not appear in Connection Doctor or remain inactive in Mail. Removing and re-adding the accounts does not resolve it. Other users are reporting the same behavior after 15.7.8.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice because I have run out of ideas. My iOS app has been live for several months, but its original monthly and annual auto-renewable subscriptions have remained stuck In Review the entire time. Because the subscriptions were unavailable in production, users could not start a trial or subscribe. I contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times and the case was escalated, but after more than a month I still had no resolution...ridiculous! I then tried to solve the issue myself: I created two new replacement subscriptions inside the approved subscription group. I completed all pricing, localisation, availability, trial and review information. I imported them into RevenueCat and attached them to the existing entitlement and Offering. I tested both replacement subscriptions successfully in TestFlight. I submitted both subscriptions alongside a new app version. The new app version was approved without any issues. However, Apple did not review the subscriptions with it...again!!! The current statuses are now: Original monthly subscription: In Review Original annual subscription: In Review Replacement monthly subscription: Waiting for Review Replacement annual subscription: Waiting for Review The replacement products work correctly in TestFlight, but the live app cannot load the plans because the products are still unavailable in production. I have submitted multiple support requests, requested urgent escalation and reported the issue through Feedback Assistant, but I am still getting nowhere. Has anyone experienced subscriptions becoming stuck or orphaned in App Store Connect like this? Is there any route that successfully reached the In-App Purchase review team or caused the products to be manually reviewed? This has completely blocked my app’s subscription revenue for months, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I've recently updated to Golden Gate Beta4 to test 'fm' capabilities. Until Beta3, everything was OK; now my VPN icon from Menu Bar has disappeared. This is build 26A5388g. 'defaults -currentHost read com.apple.controlcenter' output showing VPN = 2 alongside the working modules (Battery = 4, Sound = 2) for contrast. No row in System Settings › Control Center › Menu Bar Controls for VPN appears under "Add Controls…". I have a valid IKEv2 config that exists and is visible in Network settings. I've already ruled out: delete/recreate the config, reboots, 'killall ControlCenter', no MDM activated on this machine, no managed preferences. Any idea how this can be fixed?

Se que esto no es necesario pero acabo de empezar con esto y no se mucho

In the past I was always able to install every major macOS version on an external drive so that I can test my apps. But now I'm unable to install macOS Tahoe 26 on an external drive. Actually, as far as I'm aware, there are not even official links to macOS 26 installers, but only instructions on how to update to macOS 26 from an existing macOS installation. So I thought I'd install macOS 15 on a separate drive and then update to macOS 26, but whenever I run the macOS 15 installer, tell it to install on the external drive, and reboot after the setup process completes, my MacBook just boots into my main macOS partition as if nothing happened. 3 months ago I somehow managed to install macOS Tahoe beta 1 on an external drive, I don't remember how (but I don't think it was anything crazy); booting into that beta 1 partition and trying to update doesn't work either, as my MacBook again boots into my main macOS partition. I already asked help about the update problem one month ago here, but nobody replied. Could someone at Apple please provide instructions on how one is supposed to install macOS 26 on an external drive (if possible before it becomes available to the public)? Are we supposed to buy a separate Mac for every macOS version that we want to test our apps on?

I was told I would be getting an email shortly after the call to schedule another call with the app review team. However, no such email ever came, and now I cant even call the Apple phone support line for app review issues and just says “it seems this is an issue with your Apple account.” Which doesn’t make sense at all. can someone from apple please reassure me?

Did the phone support get shut down or something?? I've been on the call for 4 hours now and not one person is picking it up. This is now my third day of calling apple all day and still the phone support has not been answered once.

I am having a very odd issue at the moment. I don't know what to categorize it either. I thought it was just iMessage forwarding but it seems to be otter that then that sorry if it seems like I'm repeating myself. Please help if you can. I don't know what to do 😔 I don't know which one is causing the problem. It appears to be my phone. But also my computer So I don't know what to do. For Apple engineers here is the feedback assistant ID. For Apple developers if you can help me I'll wait a little bit to get some answers. I'm gonna show you guys what's going on my end. Apparently I can't find her is grayed out when I go to uploaded images to show you what's going on. To the engineers here's the ID FB24043356

I'm not sure where the best place to post this. Previous to ios 26, if you called a phone number multiple times, it used to have the number of calls in brackets, but more importantly pressing i next to the call would give you the call times for each call. In ios 26, say you called the same number 4 times, now when you press i, it only gives you the call time of the last call. Can anyone on ios 27 beta confirm if this has now been fixed, or if not how it can be raised with the ios development team. Finally, i know you have an option called call history, however for some reason not all calls show, and facetime/ whatsapp calls are not showing at all. Thanks
