Recently I've noticed that certain cursor actions cause the finger icon to appear with a gray box around it. It appears when I hover over other icons (for example, the menu items at the top of this website; Microsoft Teams options but not MS Word, etc.). Is this new? Is there a way to get rid of the box?

Ok, so I’ve downloaded iOS 26 for the iPhone and iPad and there are a couple of points bugging me.
Why oh why would somebody think that it was a good idea to remove the ability to scroll through photos in a folder in files?
Where in their tiny minds did they think that opening a photo, viewing said photo, then closing photo to then open the next photo in sequence was a better or more productive way than just swiping left and right?
I mean, seriously!!!
And why the need for a separate Preview app when it worked fine opening files in the Files app?!
I deleted the Preview app from my iPhone to see what difference it would make, but alas it made things worse. Now, because there’s no Preview app, Files wants to open my photos in an image editing app called Afterlite!
I checked settings for the files app, and the only options I have for opening photos are Afterlite (which it’s decided to make default), the Photoshop app, or iMovie!
Does anyone have any ideas how to get photos stored in the Files app to open IN the Files app or at least the Photos app?
Just when I thought they’d come to their senses and sorted out that god awful iOS 18 Photos app, they go and do something like this!
Also, can someone explain to me what the point is of having a month and year view in the Photos app?
When I sort by month and pick a particular month or date in a month, instead of showing just those images taken that month, it just takes you back to the view with ALL of your photos?
Surely if you have thousands of photos on your device and you want to see only photos on a particular date, it would make sense to show only the photos from that date.
Even if it generated automatic albums under the album view for each month and year that would be something!
Hey team,
I have an app in CarPlay where i was pushing the CPNowPlayingTemplate as follows:
self.interfaceController.pushTemplate(CPNowPlayingTemplate.shared(), animated: true)
This used to work perfectly, but suddenly I have started to get this error
NSInvalidArgumentException: Unsupported object <CPNowPlayingTemplate: 0x119a0b5c0> <identifier: 6EE4E5A9-B1FB-4341-A485-78D7DDEBD8D0, userInfo: (null), tabTitle: (null), tabImage: (null), showsTabBadge: 0> passed to pushTemplate:animated:completion:. Allowed classes: {(
CPActionSheetTemplate,
CPAlertTemplate,
CPVoiceControlTemplate,
CPTabBarTemplate,
CPListTemplate,
CPInformationTemplate,
CPContactTemplate,
CPMapTemplate,
CPGridTemplate,
CPSearchTemplate
)}
How is this possible? Even on Apple docs, it says to pushTemplate

Hello everyone,
I'm a 2nd-year Computer Science student who's excited to dive into iOS development, and I'd really appreciate some guidance from the experienced developers in this community.
MY CURRENT BACKGROUND
I have a solid foundation in programming fundamentals through my university coursework (data structures, algorithms, OOP concepts), and I'm familiar with general software development principles. However, iOS development is entirely new territory for me, and I want to make sure I start on the right foot.
WHAT I'M LOOKING TO UNDERSTAND
Learning Path & Technologies
Should I start with UIKit or SwiftUI? I've heard conflicting opinions about this
How important is it to learn Objective-C in 2025, or should I focus solely on Swift?
Are there any foundational Apple frameworks I should prioritize learning early on?
Roadmap & Structured Learning
Is there a recommended roadmap or learning sequence I should follow?
What skills/topics should I master before moving to more advanced concepts?
Should I learn iOS development in a linear fashion, or is it better to learn as I build projects?
Are there any official Apple learning paths or certifications worth pursuing?
Common Mistakes to Avoid
What are the most common pitfalls beginners face when starting iOS development?
Are there any bad habits or patterns I should consciously avoid from day one?
What misconceptions did you have as a beginner that you wish someone had corrected earlier?
Project-Based Learning
What types of projects would you recommend for someone at my level?
Should I build several small apps or focus on one comprehensive project?
At what point should I start contributing to open-source iOS projects?
Best Practices & Design Patterns
Which iOS-specific design patterns (MVC, MVVM, etc.) should I learn first?
How can I develop good habits around memory management and app architecture from the beginning?
What resources do you recommend for learning iOS best practices, not just syntax?
Apple Ecosystem & Tools
Beyond Xcode, what tools should be in my toolkit?
How important is it to learn about TestFlight, Instruments, and other Apple developer tools early on?
Should I get comfortable with CocoaPods/SPM from the start, or wait until I'm more experienced?
MY GOALS
My goal is to build a solid foundation over the next 6-8 months, create a few portfolio-worthy apps and pursuing iOS development as a career path after graduation.
SPECIFIC QUESTIONS
How many hours per week would you recommend dedicating to learning iOS development while managing university coursework?
What's the best way to stay updated with Apple's annual changes and new frameworks?
When should I start thinking about publishing apps to the App Store?
Are there any mentorship programs or communities specifically for beginner iOS developers you'd recommend?
I know this is a lot of questions, but I genuinely want to learn the right way rather than picking up bad habits I'll have to unlearn later. Any advice, resources, or personal experiences you're willing to share would be incredibly valuable to me.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to help a beginner. I'm committed to putting in the work and learning properly!

The first Beta install stopped recognizing a Yamaha USB audio interface. The next two installs brought the recognition back. The last Beta install doesn't recognize the interface completely. The midi implementation works but the audio implementation isn't recognized in Audio/Midi setup. This might be something to look at in the next Beta release or something audio interface venders should look at in their next driver release.
Facial recognition is not working with the glasses. I tried to do a new recognition with the glasses, and it's giving a direct error. Is anyone having the same problem?
The latest Beta update 18.5.4 has caused connectivity problems with my car (Skoda Enyaq) whereby there is no connection via Bluetooth or the cars internal WiFi.
Also contacts will not download to the care which is very frustrating.

Hello :-)
I‘m not entirely sure, if I‘m on the correct Place here. But I would like to report some Bugs with tvOS 26 (Beta 6) to the Apple Engineers!
Description
I am reporting multiple persistent UI animation issues observed in tvOS 26 (Beta 3). These issues have been reproducible across multiple tvOS releases. They are subtle but noticeable, and they affect the overall polish and perceived quality of the system.
I am happy to provide high-quality video captures for each of the issues described below.
⸻
Bug #1: App launch animation stutter/jump
Summary: The zoom-in animation from a Springboard icon to full-screen app stutters or jumps at the moment the app becomes full screen.
Steps to reproduce:
1. On Springboard, select any app icon.
2. Observe the zoom-in animation.
Expected result: Smooth, continuous zoom without frame drops or jumps.
Actual result: Animation visibly stutters/jumps at the full-screen transition.
Possible cause: Timing issue in Core Animation interpolation or abrupt view hierarchy switch.
⸻
Bug #2: Text rendering weight change (“jump”) during transitions
Summary: Text inside apps changes visual weight mid-transition from scaled preview to full screen.
Steps to reproduce:
1. From Springboard or App Switcher, launch an app with visible text.
2. Observe text during the zoom animation — initially slightly bolder, then thinner once full screen.
Also occurs in:
• Top Shelf banners in the Dock
• App Switcher → full-screen transitions
Expected result: Consistent text rendering throughout the transition.
Actual result: Visible “pop” in text weight/anti-aliasing during transition.
Possible cause: Different rasterization/anti-aliasing mode between preview snapshot (CALayer.contents) and live CoreText/UIKit rendering.
⸻
Bug #3: Focus shadow jumps instead of interpolating smoothly
Summary: Shadows around focused UI elements (icons, buttons) change abruptly during focus transitions.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Navigate between focusable UI elements on Springboard or in apps.
2. Observe the shadow effects.
Expected result: Shadows interpolate smoothly (offset, opacity, radius) during focus transitions.
Actual result: Shadows “jump” abruptly, breaking animation smoothness.
Possible cause: UIFocusEngine not interpolating shadow parameters consistently.
⸻
Bug #4: Abrupt jumps when swiping horizontally between content items
Summary: In horizontally scrollable poster/content rows, focus snaps abruptly instead of scrolling smoothly.
Steps to reproduce:
1. In the TV app or any app with horizontal poster rows, swipe left/right.
2. Observe the transition between focused items.
Expected result: Smooth horizontal navigation with continuous motion.
Actual result: Occasional abrupt snapping/jumping between items.
⸻
Impact
While none of these bugs block core functionality, they degrade the premium feel and visual polish of tvOS. They are persistent across releases and occur in core system UI, so they are visible to all users.
Note
I can provide video recordings for each bug to assist engineering in reproducing and analyzing the issues.

Hi all,
Well Im about to publish an app for iOS and the process is almost done but I don't know how is it to publish the same for MacOS, I mean, I can generate the app file from my engine (Unity) and even run it, but from there what are the steps? do we need to pass this to Xcode too? if so please direct me to where its explained because I couldn't find it, thanks a lot for any help

Hello. I’m on iOS 26. I’m very protective over my children’s phone and use screen time religiously.
ios 26 does have delete history grayed out , but there’s a glitch! You’re able to swipe and delete history under the bookmarks history and tabs section.
Also if you type in a website like Walmart, it will bring it up and then allow you to swipe to the left and hit the red delete history and it shows up nowhere in your history!
please help me find a fix for this!!
i do allow safari but definitely want to be able to check the websites being viewed!!!
also - iOS 26 does not let u block apple.comunder your not allowed websites. Which means they can now use Apple Maps and third party browser on Apple.com for example under the simple weather app
before I had Apple blocked to where none of this could be accessed through stock apple apps!
i appreciate any help!!!

Hi ,
since I've been trying out this latest beta, my battery life has dropped dramatically. I have an iPhone 16 Pro. It doesn't last until the evening. I didn't have any problems with version 4 before.
Thanks
Hi, I’ve recently installed the iOS 26 DB, and I’m experiencing heating issues on my iPhone. Is there a fix to this? Also, is it a bug or a feature, that I can’t remove certain sections in the Photos app rather than rearranging them. Pls lemme know. Thanks.
Is there a way to check whether third-party code can be inserted into parts of the ARM CPU architecture from outside? I have the paranoid impression that my MacBook Pro, M2 processor is being manipulated from outside. For example: Safari, when opened, displays pages scaled down without my conscious intervention, when clicked on the original size it scales back to normal for a short time and then implodes again; I use the navigation bar on the left excessively, it is my most important tool in Safari, today it was impossible to insert a link using drag & drop, the bar scrolls up or down very quickly; a behavior that I only know from Intel processors. For example, notes, I encrypted an important note, no problem even though photos and links are inserted, yesterday I could no longer open the note, neither on the MacBook Pro nor on the iPhone. When opening the notes app in the terminal on the MacBook Pro, an EXEC_CRASH report was generated. I have a terrible suspicion that the Apple branch in Munich is tampering with the devices and software of users in Germany. Sorry, I'm a big fan of Apple and its products, but this is very spooky. I just wanted to share my distrust with you!
