Hey all, I have been suffering from obesity for a long time, and I recently built an agent to help me manage my weight. The results for me have been great, to say the least. I started at 125kg, 180cm 3 months back. After 90 days, I am at 110.7kg only by making micro-adjustments to what I eat and following the AI assistant's guidance. Hence, I made it an app experience and would love it if someone could help me with testing. I can help them test their apps in return

I am opening PNPK, an integrated SKYGRID transaction-safety architecture, for technical review. The design introduces two AWS-backed workflows: POST /pnpk/intake Receives a structured transaction and evidence record containing elements such as a network identifier, transaction hash, wallet address, evidence digest, timestamp, nonce, operator condition, and signature. POST /operator/condition Records an operator safety or recovery condition and connects it to SKYGRID emergency routing and controlled response playbooks. The objective is not to claim automatic reversal of completed blockchain transactions. The objective is to make transaction intent, evidence integrity, chronology, authorization, and recovery conditions independently verifiable. The architecture currently uses: • Amazon API Gateway • AWS Lambda • Amazon EventBridge • Amazon DynamoDB • replay and idempotency controls • fail-closed processing I would especially value feedback on the threat model, signature envelope, replay protection, evidence-digest format, chain-neutral identifiers, and safe handling of recovery metadata. No PNPK payload should contain a seed phrase or plaintext private key. #aws #security #web3 #serverless #cybersecurity

The iPhone randomly stopped drawing any power from the power brick, happened yesterday after a walk. Came home, plugged it in and over an hour instead of charging the phones battery percentage decreased to 20% from 30%. I was no where near any liquids that could have possibly damaged the port. Currently, in a country that doesn't have any official apple stores/repair centers, however, went to some local ones. They say that the problem is with the IC block and ask me to pay $200 for it. Quiet hesitant to do so, frankly speaking. Did anyone experience this before or have any suggestions? Thanks! Running IOS 27.3

Can anyone tell me, what would it take for the next year's iPhone to have a mini HDMI and allow owners of the flagship plug it into a Monitor and then install Xcode? This would jut make iPhones the ultimate. How can this feature not be achieved since most of the computing seem to be moving to Cloud AI models anyway? It can have a dual mode. Phone/Computer mode??? Anyone?

Hello, I applied to the Developer Program back in June & still have not heard back. How long does this process usually take? It says 2 business days but it’s been weeks.

Olá, pessoal. Efetuei o pagamento da assinatura do Apple Developer Program no dia 07 de julho de 2026, mas minha conta continua com o status "Pendente" e não foi ativada até agora. O site informa que o processamento pode levar até 48 horas, porém já se passaram vários dias sem nenhuma atualização. Já abri chamados com o Suporte (casos 102937443413 e 102939351464), mas ainda não obtive uma solução. Alguém mais está passando por isso ou sabe como acelerar a ativação? Agradeço qualquer orientação.

Hello, I’m investigating an appointment-reminder app for small businesses. The user would explicitly enable the feature and authorize specific clients to receive reminders. At a scheduled time, the app would send an SMS using the iPhone owner’s cellular number and carrier plan, without requiring them to open MFMessageComposeViewController and tap Send. I understand that MFMessageComposeViewController requires user confirmation. I also understand that TelephonyMessagingKit is intended for eligible default carrier-messaging apps. Is there any supported API, entitlement, or approved architecture that permits this use case for a regular App Store app? If not, would an appointment app potentially qualify for any TelephonyMessagingKit entitlement, or is using a server-side SMS provider the only supported way to send unattended reminders? The intended messages would only be sent with the business user’s authorization and the recipient’s consent.

Building a Multi-Core Autonomous Software Engineering Runtime in Swift 6.2 Author: BlackForgedLabs Abstract We are developing a native Swift-based autonomous software engineering runtime that applies deterministic safety, actor isolation, structured concurrency, and layered governance to large-scale automated software development. Rather than treating AI as a monolithic chatbot, our architecture models software engineering as cooperating subsystems with clearly defined responsibilities and explicit safety boundaries. Our goals include: deterministic execution reproducible builds enterprise governance local-first operation strong auditability compile-time safety through Swift’s concurrency model Swift 6.2 has proven to be an excellent foundation for this approach. ⸻ Architectural Principles The runtime is organized as multiple cooperating cores instead of a single agent. Each subsystem owns one responsibility and communicates through typed contracts. Examples include: runtime orchestration memory documentation code indexing governance diagnostics repair planning verification deployment Each subsystem operates independently while remaining isolated through actor boundaries. ⸻ Deterministic Concurrency One of our primary design goals is eliminating hidden mutable state. Every major service is implemented as actors. Shared mutable state is intentionally minimized. Long-running workflows communicate through immutable value types. Swift’s strict concurrency checking has become one of the largest contributors to overall system correctness. ⸻ Safety Before Autonomy Rather than allowing unrestricted automated modification of source code, every proposed action passes through multiple validation stages. Examples include: policy validation approval gates build verification audit recording rollback planning The architecture intentionally separates: Observation ↓ Analysis ↓ Planning ↓ Approval ↓ Execution ↓ Verification Each stage has clearly defined ownership. ⸻ Local-First Enterprise Design Our primary objective is enabling organizations to execute sophisticated development workflows entirely on their own infrastructure. The runtime is designed around: local source repositories local indexing local documentation local policy enforcement local build execution Cloud providers become optional components rather than architectural requirements. ⸻ Documentation as a First-Class System Documentation generation is integrated directly into the engineering workflow rather than treated as an afterthought. The documentation pipeline automatically produces: API references CLI references architecture documentation governance documentation release documentation searchable local indexes This enables developers to query documentation using deterministic local search without requiring embeddings. ⸻ Why Swift? Several Swift features have made this architecture practical: actors Sendable checking structured concurrency Swift Package Manager strong value semantics deterministic compilation cross-platform direction Swift increasingly resembles a systems language while maintaining a high level of developer productivity. ⸻ Areas Where We’d Appreciate Apple Engineering Feedback We’re particularly interested in best practices for: very large Swift package graphs actor performance at enterprise scale incremental compilation strict concurrency patterns memory optimization Swift Package dependency management long-running actor systems compiler diagnostics for large modular architectures ⸻ What We Intentionally Do Not Discuss To protect proprietary work, this overview intentionally omits implementation details related to: orchestration algorithms planning heuristics governance policies commercial architecture security mechanisms repair strategies provider integrations internal runtime implementation The purpose of this discussion is to exchange knowledge about building large-scale systems in Swift rather than disclose proprietary technology.

Anyone knows any specific reason for the non-rollout of iOS 27 beta versions in APAC specifically India. i will be much obliged for any illumination from informed community.

Hello, Apple Team! My e-mail did not work in January - February 2026. I think after that is become invalid. Please assist to make it valid again. Also AppStore Connect doesn't send e-mails to my account holder e-mail. I have no issues to login using my e-mail on device or apple developer portal. Thanks! Regard, Alex

Dear Apple Support Team, I am writing to report a long-standing issue affecting Khmer (Cambodia) text recognition in Live Text and the Vision Framework OCR. Based on my testing, this issue has persisted for more than two years—from iOS 17 through iOS 27 Beta 3—and is also reproducible on iPadOS and macOS. I would appreciate clarification on the following points: Is Apple aware of an issue where Live Text incorrectly recognizes Khmer script as Thai script, causing copied text to output as Thai characters instead of Khmer? Has this issue been officially logged as a bug within the Vision Framework or Live Text teams? Since this behavior has remained reproducible since iOS 17, why has it not yet been resolved? Is the problem caused by automatic language detection, the OCR recognition model, the Vision Framework, or another component of Apple's AI pipeline? Does Apple currently have a dedicated OCR and language recognition model for the Khmer script, or is Khmer being inferred through another language model? Is there an estimated timeline for improving Khmer OCR and preventing Khmer text from being misidentified as Thai? Can Apple confirm whether this issue affects all products using the Vision Framework, including Live Text, Photos Preview, Screenshot OCR, and APIs provided to third-party developers? How can Apple work with the Khmer technology community to improve OCR accuracy and language support for Cambodia? This issue is more than a simple OCR bug. When Khmer text is automatically converted into Thai characters, users lose access to the original text, developers receive incorrect OCR output, and it negatively impacts the digital representation of the Khmer language. For reference, I have documented the issue in detail here: https://app.notion.com/p/Inaccurate-OCR-Language-Inference-Khmer-Script-Misidentified-as-Thai-in-Vision-Framework-2d8a24f4ee6680fcbc49d989f8bb606f I hope Apple will investigate this issue and prioritize improving Khmer language support across the Vision Framework and Live Text. Thank you, Vattanak Khun

Hey there, Trying to enroll in Apple Developer Program and I just couldn’t keeps showing the message below Tried contacting Apple support and response was very vague and for some reason I can‘t schedule a call on my Saudi number. Any ideas?

Just want to say, I have had no issues with this process. I have read quite a bit on here, alot not great. I submitted some games on Sunday evening, 3-4 days later, reviewed and approved. I read alot of horror stories, so just wanted to say its been great for me. Usually people write complaints, not many with good stories. I am sure I will get some knocked back, but I will cross that road when I come to it! Great it's been and look forward to continuing here. Eric

We call reportCall(with:, endedAt:, reason:) to end the call, mostly CXCallObserverDelegate func - (void)callObserver:(CXCallObserver *)callObserver callChanged:(CXCall *)call; will be called immediately with call end event. But sometimes not like this, it will not callback, and after more then 20 seconds, CXProviderDelegate func provider(_ provider: CXProvider, perform action: CXEndCallAction) will be call. It seems not expected, and will cause callkit UI not disappear in a long time. So hy call end event not be call immediately by CXCallObserverDelegate func?

Im on my MacBook Pro M1 and if I'm trying to load a config then it says read or writing the configuration failed.

But in the past I had installed Proton VPN and Express VPN.

it is already the second beta release, which has heavy problems to connect to externbal hdds because of handshake problem with hdd controllers

Usually I double click the top window bar to maximize or revert back to the position a window was in, need this efficiency and now when double clicking top window bar the window maximizes on display then quickly bounces back to same position. I realize I can press option key above green circle, beyond annoying on all screens and more so on bigger external monitors. once in a while if I double click fast enough with some luck it does what its supposed to (maximize or revert back to original pos wich is usually half or quarter screen). tried a few settings. was guessing something to do with double click speed, don't know. this is beyond annoying and having to waste time on it is also annoying

HI all, My app was live for several months then I got an email saying my developer account was banned for fraud (To be honest I am not sure if I had even submitted an update or whether they just hit me out of the blue) `Evidence of Dishonest or Fraudulent Activity App submissions from your account have engaged in concept or feature switch schemes to evade the review process, such as dynamically populating different app content after review, submitting apps with hidden features, repeatedly submitting misleading apps, and/or submitting apps with concrete references to content that you are not authorized to provide or is otherwise not appropriate for the App Store.` Anyway, my suspicion is we had just flagged some auto detection script, and I appealed immediately stating we had no such hidden code or features, we are a simple flutter app backed with firebase, no paywall pages or anything like that. Anyway, its now been 30 days with no response, I have heard not to try and message them again as it may reset our place in the queue, so I am just wondering what to do at this stage? I have had to pause our paid ads, and its a bad look for us right now with a broken apple link on our website. This is the only app I have on my developer account. APP ID: 6763960507

Enrollment type: Individual Date submitted: July 4, 2026 Region: Bangladesh Fee: $99 deducted at submission Documents: identity documents submitted as requested The $99 was charged immediately and I've provided the requested identity documents, but as of July 7 the status hasn't changed and I've had no follow-up email. I'm aware the July 4 US holiday weekend likely means only about one business day has actually elapsed on Apple's side, so I'm not assuming anything is broken yet. My legal name on the enrollment matches my government ID exactly, so I don't think a name mismatch is the cause. Mainly trying to gauge a realistic timeline rather than escalate prematurely: For those who enrolled as individuals outside the US, what was your actual wait from payment to activation? Did emailing Developer Support move things along, or did it clear on its own? Anyone from South Asia / Bangladesh with a recent (2026) data point? Planning to give it a few more business days before contacting support. Thanks.
