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.»

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!

Review rejected hidden features、web game and web payment
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

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.

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

Apple Developer Enrollment – Over 2 Months Without Progress
Dear Apple Developer team, dear Apple Developer community, I’m posting this publicly because I honestly don’t know how else to get a response. Timeline: December 3rd: I applied for the Apple Developer Program and received the confirmation email: “Your program enrollment has been received.” After that: complete silence for weeks – no status updates, no emails, nothing. End of December: Only after I opened a support ticket myself did I receive a response asking me to upload additional documents. January 12th: I uploaded all requested documents in full. Since then: silence again. Last Monday, I sent a follow-up email → no reply. Today (January 26th), I opened a new ticket, referencing the existing case number. Honestly, I have to ask: Where is the professionalism in this process? For comparison: The Google Play Developer account verification (including identity and company checks) took around 24 hours. Apple is one of the most valuable technology companies in the world. Why does a basic developer enrollment take over two months, without transparent communication or even a simple status update? At this point, I would really appreciate: a clear status update, or at least a realistic timeline for when this process will be completed Right now, this experience feels neither professional nor developer-friendly. Thank you for reading, and I sincerely hope for a timely response.

Urgent: Locked Account Holder – Need Help Accessing Developer Account
Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm hoping someone can advise me on a serious issue. Our organization's Apple Developer Program account has been effectively locked because our Account Holder's Apple ID is inaccessible. I need to unlock that Apple ID so we can manage our apps. I've already reached out to Apple Developer Support, but so far, I haven't received a response. This situation is critical because our clients rely on us to maintain and update our apps. Key details (some info is masked for privacy): • We're enrolled as an Organization/Company. • The current Account Holder's Apple ID is locked and cannot perform any actions. • No other accounts have admin access. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or knows a more efficient route to escalate, I'd be extremely grateful for your insights. Thanks in advance for any advice you can share. This is critical to our organization, and we'd appreciate any pointers on how to navigate or expedite the support process.

Does UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor change after iCloud backup and restore on another iOS device?
I'm trying to understand how UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor behaves when an iOS app is restored via iCloud onto a different physical device. Context I'm building an app that needs to detect whether it’s running on a newly restored device (for example, after the user transfers their iPhone via iCloud setup). To do this, I save the value of UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString in persistent storage (e.g., UserDefaults). The question If I install my app on Device A, store the identifierForVendor value, back up the device to iCloud, and then restore that backup onto Device B, will the restored app see the same identifierForVendor value, or a new one? More specifically: Does iCloud backup/restore preserve the underlying “vendor” ID across devices? Is the identifierForVendor tied only to the bundle identifier and vendor prefix, or also to the physical device hardware? If the user deletes all apps from the same vendor, then restores them from iCloud, is the ID reset? What I’ve found so far Apple’s docs say: “The value of this property is the same for apps that come from the same vendor running on the same device. If the user deletes all of that vendor’s apps from the device and then reinstalls one or more of them, the value may change.” However, it doesn’t explicitly mention what happens after iCloud restore onto a new device. Goal I want to know if it’s safe to use identifierForVendor to detect a new device context (e.g., trigger a refresh of a Firebase token when the user’s device changes). Environment iOS 17+ (latest) Swift / Capacitor app bridge Testing between iPhone 14 Pro → iPhone 15 Pro (iCloud restore)

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.

There was an error processing your request. Please try again later
Hello everyone, on August 31st, all the apps in my personal developer account were suddenly expired and deleted, I have not received any response from Apple. My apps are in compliance with Apple's policies. I then uploaded a new version and sent it to the review team, but I received the following error "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later." I have contacted Apple via Email and Phone but no one cares about my problem. Has anyone had the same situation as me, I am really worried.

SSC Distinguished Winner here😃! I created the1st game 100 % using Apple Pencil to interact. Interested in joining our DC?
Hey everyone, I'm beyond excited to share that I've been selected as a Distinguished Winner in this year's Swift Student Challenge! 🎉 It all started last summer, in the middle of a Western Culture class. I was zoning out , and my attention drifted to the Apple Pencil in my hand. And then ,it hit me — this thing is literally a next-level game controller. Think about it: pixel-perfect precision, haptic feedback, multiple built-in sensors... Why aren't we using this for gaming? And that got me thinking — why have we spent the last 500 years treating the "pencil" as just a tool for creation, and not for play? Since graphite pencils were invented in 1564, we've had this incredibly natural way to interact with 2D and 3D space... and nobody's fully tapped into it for games. So, I did something about it. I built a game that's 100% controlled by the Apple Pencil yep, just the Pencil. I know what you're thinking: "How does that even work??" And honestly, I'd love to tell you... but I'm in the final stages of getting it onto the App Store, and it should be live within the next couple of weeks. So for now... 🤐😄 In the meantime, I've set up a Discord server for anyone who's curious about the gameplay, the design, or just wants to brainstorm ideas with me. If you're into creative controls, game design, or just want to hang — come join the conversation! [Join the Discord here!] https://discord.gg/5Rm8WKbekf Can't wait to share more soon!

iOS 26 - S/MIME Encryption / Certificates
Hi everyone. Since the update to iOS 26, we are no longer able to tap the person's name and view the certificate of a signed email and choose to install the certificate or remove it. This has always worked just fine but seems to be broken on iOS 26 and I have verified that it does not work on iOS 26.1 beta as well. The part that is strange is it does work just fine on an iPad running iPad OS 26. This makes it impossible to send encrypted emails to someone via the mail app on an iPhone. I have found a temporary workaround which is to install Outlook for iOS and install the certificates through that app which then allows me to send encrypted emails via Outlook. This appears to be a bug just with the iPhone as I have also seen a few other people online talking about the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this?

CarPlay Image Issue on iPhone 17?
Has anyone else had any issued with their CarPlay with the new phone? My screen gets distorted and you cannot make up anything that shows up on it, it's specific to the new phone since I have also tried it with an iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 13. I have updated my car's firmware, reset it, reset my phone settings (per Apple's request) and nothing seems to be working, and unfortunately since I'm on the beta they are limited with the assistance they are able to provide to me.

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.

Urgent: Locked Account Holder – Need Help Accessing Developer Account
Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm hoping someone can advise me on a serious issue. Our organization's Apple Developer Program account has been effectively locked because our Account Holder's Apple ID is inaccessible. I need to unlock that Apple ID so we can manage our apps. I've already reached out to Apple Developer Support, but so far, I haven't received a response. This situation is critical because our clients rely on us to maintain and update our apps. Key details (some info is masked for privacy): • We're enrolled as an Organization/Company. • The current Account Holder's Apple ID is locked and cannot perform any actions. • No other accounts have admin access. If anyone has encountered a similar issue or knows a more efficient route to escalate, I'd be extremely grateful for your insights. Thanks in advance for any advice you can share. This is critical to our organization, and we'd appreciate any pointers on how to navigate or expedite the support process.

Does UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor change after iCloud backup and restore on another iOS device?
I'm trying to understand how UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor behaves when an iOS app is restored via iCloud onto a different physical device. Context I'm building an app that needs to detect whether it’s running on a newly restored device (for example, after the user transfers their iPhone via iCloud setup). To do this, I save the value of UIDevice.current.identifierForVendor?.uuidString in persistent storage (e.g., UserDefaults). The question If I install my app on Device A, store the identifierForVendor value, back up the device to iCloud, and then restore that backup onto Device B, will the restored app see the same identifierForVendor value, or a new one? More specifically: Does iCloud backup/restore preserve the underlying “vendor” ID across devices? Is the identifierForVendor tied only to the bundle identifier and vendor prefix, or also to the physical device hardware? If the user deletes all apps from the same vendor, then restores them from iCloud, is the ID reset? What I’ve found so far Apple’s docs say: “The value of this property is the same for apps that come from the same vendor running on the same device. If the user deletes all of that vendor’s apps from the device and then reinstalls one or more of them, the value may change.” However, it doesn’t explicitly mention what happens after iCloud restore onto a new device. Goal I want to know if it’s safe to use identifierForVendor to detect a new device context (e.g., trigger a refresh of a Firebase token when the user’s device changes). Environment iOS 17+ (latest) Swift / Capacitor app bridge Testing between iPhone 14 Pro → iPhone 15 Pro (iCloud restore)

Warning "Public import of 'CoreData' was not used in public declarations or inlinable code"
Hello, In my App.xcdatamodeld I have an entity called File. When I am building the project with Xcode, file FileEntity+CoreDataProperties.swift is generated. After upgrading Xcode to version 26.0 (17A324), I am getting the warning: Public import of 'CoreData' was not used in public declarations or inlinable code Any idea how to get rid of this warning since it's a generated file and I can't see any option to change it?

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.

There was an error processing your request. Please try again later
Hello everyone, on August 31st, all the apps in my personal developer account were suddenly expired and deleted, I have not received any response from Apple. My apps are in compliance with Apple's policies. I then uploaded a new version and sent it to the review team, but I received the following error "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later." I have contacted Apple via Email and Phone but no one cares about my problem. Has anyone had the same situation as me, I am really worried.

SSC Distinguished Winner here😃! I created the1st game 100 % using Apple Pencil to interact. Interested in joining our DC?
Hey everyone, I'm beyond excited to share that I've been selected as a Distinguished Winner in this year's Swift Student Challenge! 🎉 It all started last summer, in the middle of a Western Culture class. I was zoning out , and my attention drifted to the Apple Pencil in my hand. And then ,it hit me — this thing is literally a next-level game controller. Think about it: pixel-perfect precision, haptic feedback, multiple built-in sensors... Why aren't we using this for gaming? And that got me thinking — why have we spent the last 500 years treating the "pencil" as just a tool for creation, and not for play? Since graphite pencils were invented in 1564, we've had this incredibly natural way to interact with 2D and 3D space... and nobody's fully tapped into it for games. So, I did something about it. I built a game that's 100% controlled by the Apple Pencil yep, just the Pencil. I know what you're thinking: "How does that even work??" And honestly, I'd love to tell you... but I'm in the final stages of getting it onto the App Store, and it should be live within the next couple of weeks. So for now... 🤐😄 In the meantime, I've set up a Discord server for anyone who's curious about the gameplay, the design, or just wants to brainstorm ideas with me. If you're into creative controls, game design, or just want to hang — come join the conversation! [Join the Discord here!] https://discord.gg/5Rm8WKbekf Can't wait to share more soon!

iOS 26 - S/MIME Encryption / Certificates
Hi everyone. Since the update to iOS 26, we are no longer able to tap the person's name and view the certificate of a signed email and choose to install the certificate or remove it. This has always worked just fine but seems to be broken on iOS 26 and I have verified that it does not work on iOS 26.1 beta as well. The part that is strange is it does work just fine on an iPad running iPad OS 26. This makes it impossible to send encrypted emails to someone via the mail app on an iPhone. I have found a temporary workaround which is to install Outlook for iOS and install the certificates through that app which then allows me to send encrypted emails via Outlook. This appears to be a bug just with the iPhone as I have also seen a few other people online talking about the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this?

CarPlay Image Issue on iPhone 17?
Has anyone else had any issued with their CarPlay with the new phone? My screen gets distorted and you cannot make up anything that shows up on it, it's specific to the new phone since I have also tried it with an iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 13. I have updated my car's firmware, reset it, reset my phone settings (per Apple's request) and nothing seems to be working, and unfortunately since I'm on the beta they are limited with the assistance they are able to provide to me.
