Beta] iOS + Apple Watch Fitness App That Tracks Chores, Looking for Testers
I’m looking for iOS and Apple Watch users to help beta test ChoreFit, a fitness app that transforms everyday chores into measurable workouts using NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) science. What it does: • Tracks chores like vacuuming, mopping, and laundry as real workouts • Syncs with Apple Health for steps, heart rate, and calories • Lets you start or pause chores right from your Apple Watch • Adjusts effort based on body weight and optional weighted vests What I need from testers: • Install via TestFlight (link provided once approved) • Use the app during normal household tasks • Share feedback on usability, Apple Watch sync, and calorie accuracy If you’re interested in movement tracking, fitness analytics, or wearable integration, I’d love your help validating and refining this app before public release.

Bricked iPhone after Installing iOS 26 Beta
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!

ios 26 battery 0%
«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.»

My Apple developer account has been locked and cannot be used
Dear Apple Developer Community, I hope this message finds you well. I'm seeking guidance regarding an issue with my Apple Developer account and the future status of my app. Issue Summary: Account Status: My Apple Developer account has been locked (cannot be used) without any clear reason. Despite contacting both Apple Support and Apple Developer Support, I haven't received a workable solution to regain access. App Status: Currently, my mobile app remains visible and downloadable on the Apple App Store. Concerns: Future of the App: I'm concerned about the future availability of my app. I've heard that apps associated with locked or inactive developer accounts might be archived or removed after a certain period. Is this accurate? If so, what is the typical timeframe for such actions? Similar Experiences: Has anyone in the community encountered a similar situation with their developer account being locked and cannot be used? If so, were you able to resolve it, and how? I appreciate any insights or advice from those who have faced similar challenges or have knowledge in this area. Your assistance would be invaluable in helping me navigate this situation.

Issue with Adding VPN Configuration on iOS 26 Beta
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

SKProductsRequest Returning Invalid Identifiers Despite No Pending Agreements
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.

iOS 18 - Mail IMAP Issue
Hello everyone, Since iOS 18, there has been an issue where it’s not possible to set up custom IMAP accounts using one’s own domain. However, IMAP accounts from providers like Strato or other hosting services work without any problems. When will Apple finally resolve this issue? Is there already a solution for the problem? Disabling "Tracking IP" under Wi-Fi Settings doesn’t help. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Mail app also doesn’t resolve the issue. Thank you for your help. It would be nice if someone from Apple could comment on this matter. Thank you very much!

Urgent: Locked Account Holder – Need Help
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

Rejected for Guideline 4.3 - Spam
Hello, One of our apps has been rejected under Guideline 4.3 for spam. Our studio has been on the App Store for 10+ years and this particular app has been available for over two years without previous issue. We have submitted a couple responses to the original rejection outlining why we think our app is unique and not spam and unfortunately we have been rejected. I have also submitted an appeal and requested a phone call. This is compounded by a live issue happening in our app right now that requires a build to unblock. I added that to our review notes for submission but was rejected. We believe we have been flagged as spam in error and would like to release builds to our active players ASAP to get them unblocked and provide further value to them. Beyond submitting an appeal and requesting a call is there anything else I can do?

iOS 18.3 (22D5040d) issues with unexpected shut downs and heavy battery drain
iPhone 15 Pro, 96% battery health. It all started last week when i was still on a 18.2 beta version. I figured updating would fix it but it s even worse now. It charges quickly and drains as quickly. Randomly shuts down at i.e. 93% battery percentage. After power off, it powers up with 10%, repeats the cycle and then it just sticks at 10%. I’ll update when I know for how long it stays like this. Meanwhile do you guys have any idea how to temporarily fix it or a workaround for the issue until further update will fix it?

Beta update 18.3 on IOS
Beta Update Feedback: iOS 18.3 The iOS 18.3 beta update has been a deeply frustrating experience due to numerous critical issues that severely impact the device's functionality. Below is a detailed report of the problems encountered: All major social applications, including WhatsApp, Instagram, and Photos, consistently crash. When launching these apps, the screen often turns dark before reverting to the home screen. This issue persists across other third-party and native apps, making the device unusable for basic tasks. The system frequently hangs, failing to process basic operations effectively. Restarting the device is often the only temporary solution; however, even after multiple restarts, the issues remain unresolved. Significant charging drops are observed, and the device intermittently fails to recognize the charger. Charging efficiency has drastically decreased, creating inconvenience for daily usage. The Photos app is riddled with bugs, making it nearly impossible to use. Basic functions such as viewing, editing, or sharing photos do not work properly. Every aspect of the update feels unstable, with issues cropping up in every corner of the system. The phone’s functionality has deteriorated, so it no longer performs as expected. Device Affected: iPhone 13 Impact Level: Severe This update has caused immense frustration and has made the iPhone 13 difficult.

Inhouse distributions apps stopped working above iOS 18.1.x
Inhouse distributions apps stopped working after upgrading to version to iOS 18.1.x My issue all is inhouse distributions apps, when I open the application it will force stop. stopped working after upgrading to version 18.1.1. This has happened on multiple iPhones. Some users able use the application on same OS version but application is not working on newly downloaded device. iPhone, then updated to version 18.1.1, they app would not work. We deleted the app and the Enterprise App trust was gone. Then we installed a new version of the app. The phone did not prompt us to trust the Enterprise app again and the app it would open for a second then close. I believe when the app was deleted the Enterprise App was deleted, it’s not actually deleting certificates, because re-installation is not asking to trust certificate again.

18.4 Update Bug
Hey everyone, First time posting on here. I updated my iPhone 15Pro to 18.4 this morning march 5th, and almost immediately my phone started bugging. Safari won’t load, neither will some of my apps that are heavily data based like Mail. I tried WiFi and data, no difference, I tried different WiFi connections and even a hotspot. Siri and chatGPT also won’t load BUT instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X, and threads are working perfectly fine. Most games won’t load either. I tried to use a VPN and it has allowed me to access everything that is down Including Siri. This is a temporary solution, hopefully there is a more permanent fix. Thank you all in advance.

APPLE STOCKS
Hi I was thinking, wouldn’t it be awesome if Apple had a stock app? I know, it might sound crazy, but honestly, it would be a fantastic addition to their finance section! Imagine having a wallet, Apple credit card, and a stock app all in one place. In my opinion, that could totally revolutionize everything!
