I am trying to move my home directory to a secondary drive, but I am running into to two issues.
When I try to do it via Finder I get the error - The operation can’t be completed because “<my account name>” needs to be downloaded. And when I try to do it via the terminal in recovery mode (after mounting the Data directory), It seems to copy a set of directories within ~/Library/Daemon Containers/. These appear to be snapshots of some sort, which when cp runs, end up taking up the entire drive of the target drive, which is 4 times larger than my base volume.
Two questions:
Why I am getting the message via finder (and how do I get around it?
What is the correct process for moving the home directory to a second drive?
Thanks!

Since macOS 15.4 Beta 2, my App Store has been unable to install or download any new applications; it can only download applications I have previously purchased.
It appears as follows: when I click 'Get,' the system spins to load and then returns to the initial state.
Upon checking system error reports, it seems there's an issue with AMSUIPaymentViewService_macOS [2113]. This problem persists despite changing credit cards or even removing all credit cards.
macOS 15.4 Beta 3 has not fixed this error.
its crazy on my iphone 11 pro max . all of a sudden my battery is not recognized down to 1% keeps crashing cant open any apps keep rebooting absolutely the worse . after all this am finally gonna have to leave the apple echo system. apple seams to be a huge failure at the time.

Hi everyone,
Our Apple Developer account (ID/Email: [*****]) was suddenly disabled, showing "Terminated" status in the backend, but we received no violation notice via email. Current issues:
Context:
Last operation before termination: "App submission"
No warning emails or policy violation details received (checked spam folder)
Attempted Solutions:
Submitted appeal via Developer Support Page, no response yet
Reviewed all apps against 《App Store Review Guidelines》, no obvious violations found
Questions:
Are there alternative ways to contact Apple support directly?
What are common causes for such terminations (e.g., payment issues, account association risks)?
Should we create a new account, or is reinstatement possible?
Note: Sensitive details redacted. Will provide more info if needed. Thanks for any advice!

With CarPlay communication plugin R18.1, I followed these steps to integrate Enhance siri, the music sound was output from carplay and there is no option for output to Car.
============================================
Enhanced Siri
Declare supported audioFormats for the AuxIn and AuxOut streams
Since the AuxIn and AuxOut streams for Siri do not have to be both active at the same time, the accessory must claim audio formats support
for AuxIn Audio and AuxOut audio independently. The audio formats for each stream can differ from each other (48KHz for AuxOut and 16KHz
for AuxIn). The new audio types represent these new streams - AuxIn/speechRecognition & AuxOut/speechRecognition.
Check if connected device supports the feature
AirPlayReceiverSessionHasFeatureEnhancedSiri()
Claim support in the Setup Response message if device supports the feature
Add kAirPlayKeyAccessoryEnabledFeature_EnhancedSiri key through the AirPlayReceiverServer delegate AirPlayReceiverServerCopyProperty_f
function for the kAirPlayKey_AccessoryEnabledFeatures key.
Helper function: CFArrayAppendValue()
Add Enhanced Siri parameters dictionary in the INFO message
Add dictionary through the AirPlayReceiverServer delegate AirPlayReceiverServerCopyProperty_f
function for the kAirPlayKey_EnhancedSiriInfo key.
kAirPlayKey_EnhancedSiriInfo dictionary parameters:
Voice activation of Siri - kAirPlayKey_EnhancedSiriVoice
Current language of voice model - kAirPlayKey_VoiceModelCurrentLanguage
Supported languages of voice model - kAirPlayKey_VoiceModelSupportedLanguages
Enhanced Button activation of Siri - kAirPlayKey_EnhancedSiriButton
Supported zone(s) if any - kAirPlayKey_SupportedSiriTriggerZones
Update AudioStream
Get state of the AuxIn state by providing an implementation of AudioStreamUpdateState() - Off, local buffering, or streaming to device.
Decouple input streams from output streams. AuxIn is an independent input stream only. The property kAudioStreamProperty_Direction will
provide the necessary information if the stream is input, output or input & output.
Provide a handler for the AirPlayReceiverSessionDelegate setEnhancedSiriParams_f
This will provide additional information:
Activation type
Setting the language of the voice model
Invoke the Communication Plugin to start buffering
Once the activation type has been specified, the accessory can request the plugin to start buffering using
AirPlayReceiverSessionAuxInStart().
Use the new APIs to trigger Siri:
AirPlayReceiverSessionRequestSiriActionWithLatency()
AirPlayReceiverSessionRequestSiriVoiceActivationWithLatency()
AirPlayReceiverSessionRequestSiriVoiceActivationWithSample()
Button presses and voice activations should use this new APIs which adds a timestamp of the activation. These APIs allow
a choice of a latency or a sample for button and voice activations.
If there is a delay between the user pressing the button to notifying the device on the button press, this latency value
should represent this time.
If the accessory can determine which zone activated, it can provide the zone with the request.
Invoke the Communication Plugin to stop buffering
You may need to invoke the plugin to stop buffering (AirPlayReceiverSessionAuxInStop()) if exclusive access to the microphone is necessary.
Such instances may include but not limited to:
Native voice recognition session
Telephony
Another stream function which uses the microphone starts
modesChanged notification can be used to determine if a resource is being used
Note, if the session ends, the plugin will automatically stop buffering
Hello there, I am a casual game modder for a game called Vintage Story and I had a question about accessing audio input from a Mac. Some other modders in my community developed a proximity chat system that allows players to hear one another via microphone while in physical proximity within the game. It apparently works very well on Windows but unfortunately they don’t seem to know how to get the mod to receive audio input from a Mac. I spoke with them and they are looking for some Mac devs who might be able to help them. Would anyone here be able to shed light on this or know any Mac devs who could?

iPhone:
iPhone 12 pro max, iOS:18.3.1
Step:
Connect CarPlay to my car, after connection success, CarPlay screen is black.
This issue only happens of first time connection;
I have asked OEM factory, they told me because of my iOS version is larger than 17.5, and above this version, will have this issue.
So, I need your help to figure problem and update in new version.
When dealing with SwiftUI and searchable modifier, I know you can use URL or hard code data to search when building projects in Xcode.
I am looking to see if you can use a txt file as a way or storing string data of lists to search from when your device is offline when using the search modifier. Then when connected to internet you can update the search with url connection that then updates the txt file so you can do new searches the next time you are offline again.
Is this something that is possible?
Our app provides configuration and maintenance features for Siemens electrical devices. The app supports multiple devices and the devices have their own specific features, which also need to be supported by our App.
The devices can be released to the market only when our app supports those features.
Our app release timeline is once in every 4 months. We face a challenge when some of these devices are not able to deliver their features by our release time.
So, we would like to make these devices plugins, which can be independently released, without releasing the App every time. The app would, of course, be released once in every 4 months, depending on the common features.
I'm not able to find how to release only the plugins within the app, without releasing the entire app.
Some one has suggested app extensions, but that does not fit our solution as in some cases, we need continuous polling of data from one or mode devices for minutes or hours, as the app can be used by the user to monitor some of the device values.

İphone 16 cihazım ios 18.3.1 yüklü. Kamerada donma, odaklanma ve siyah ekran şikayetim var. Apple servisi ile görüştüğümde cihazın bütün donanım testlerinden basarıyla geçtiğini söylediler. Sorunun yazılımsal olduğunu söylediler. rica ediyorum bu iphone 16 için bu kamera sorununu ortadan kaldıracak ara bir düzeltme güncellemesi gönderin. Ve bu konuda azımsanmayacak kadar mağdur apple gönül dostları vardır. Bizi kaybetmeyin. Size güvenimizin boş olmadığını bizlere gösterin. Saygılarımla
I just got a new 2024 Macbook Pro today. I finished setting it up, and I'm trying to reinstall a few apps. It told me that since I haven't used my Apple ID yet, I need to complete my Apple account. I've entered all my address information, but every time I hit continue, the boxes turn red, telling me I need to enter my information as if I never entered it in the first place. How can I fix this? I need to set this computer up before classes tomorrow.
I attempted to reset the Watch SE, which is currently running 10.6.1 and enrolled in Beta updates. My iPhone is updated to 18.2, but the Watch app isn't showing any available updates.
Hi Apple Developers!
I’m using the DetectBarcodesRequest function to identify QR codes in some images and PDFs.
However, I’m facing an issue where the function doesn’t detect the barcode on certain documents and machines, while it works on others using the same document.
The only common factor I’ve noticed is that the machines that successfully identify the QR code of the “problematic” document are all heavy developer machines that have Xcode installed. Interestingly, this doesn’t seem to be related to processor type (Intel vs. Apple Silicon).
Could you please provide some guidance or leads on how to resolve this issue?

Dear Developers,
I am wondering if there is a way to build on the current "Low Fuel" notification. Currently, if my low fuel light activates while Carplay is on, a low fuel notification is also sent to my phone. If the car can communicate this, can it also communicate mileage range? This way, if I'm in the middle of a route and the low fuel light engages, Carplay could suggest the nearest gas stations on the route within the remaining mileage range. Any information would be very helpful!

I purchased an iPad Pro M4 in early December, and since day one, I’ve been experiencing a recurring issue. Almost every day, at random times, the device freezes for 1–5 minutes and then restarts itself.
The tablet is not under heavy load when this happens — I mainly use it for light tasks such as watching videos in a player or Safari browser, web surfing, and reading books. The issue has even occurred while the iPad was idle and locked; it froze, displayed the Apple logo, and rebooted.
I brought the device back to the store where I purchased it, and they sent it for a diagnostic check. However, the experts concluded that the device is fully functional, and no defects were found.
After one of these crashes, I noticed that my Apple Pencil started lagging (see video file IMG_5688.MOV). However, after another reboot, the issue with the Apple Pencil resolved itself.
I’ve documented the issue with several video recordings showing the freezing and rebooting behavior, as well as error logs generated after such incidents.
Device Details:
Model: iPad Pro M4
Usage: Light tasks only (video streaming, web browsing, reading)
Environment: No overheating, no resource-heavy applications running
What could be causing this issue, and how can I resolve it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
P.S. I’ve uploaded all the device logs and videos demonstrating the issue to Google Drive.

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!
