Hello, I created a particular ray tracing based photo/video capture app for iPhone (which causes me several headaches in finding the optimal configuration) that which often offers very soft and visually beautiful shots but is trapped in the usual oblivion of apps from unknown developers. While it is true that on the one hand the fact that almost no one downloads your app even if it is free can save you from several gaffes in the early days, in the long run it becomes depressing. So I thought of creating something that could be an incentive to try the app. Not having money to invest in prizes for contests or much more pragmatically in advertising, I thought of adding a function where you can see the best photos taken in your area and vote for them and, if you want, add a photo taken in the competition. Do you think it could be a nice idea? It's true that the problem itself is to overcome the wall of 0 downloads, where your app is neither successful nor unsuccessful because in fact nobody tries it, but without money for advertising I don't have many other ideas... Thanks

Request: Unlock full custom date setting on iPad (even pre-2001) with internet on I’d like to request a feature in iPadOS that allows the system date to be set to any value — even before January 1, 2001 — without disabling or breaking internet access. This is important for: Historical and educational simulations Timeline-sensitive app testing Calendar research and UI behavior in legacy periods Currently, iPadOS blocks dates before 2001. It also may bug out or disable networking features when dates are changed too far back. 📎 I've submitted this request to Apple via the official Feedback Form, and I’ve created a public GitHub repo to invite further support: 🔗 https://github.com/RubixCubeExpert/ipad-date-unlock-request If other developers support this, please reply or upvote. Thanks!

Hello All, I would like to nominate my app for the coveted position of a “featured app.” However, it appears that I would have had to submitted the app before it went live a few weeks ago. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there another form out there to fill out the app information for submission? Thank you for any help! Darien Pilates Mastery™

How long was it between putting your first app on the App Store (that had a paid component to it like IAPs) and getting your first sale? I'm working on an app at the moment that I plan on putting up for a small one time fee. I'm curious to know what people's different experiences were with this. What was your app and how did it go?

Dear Apple Engineering Team, I am experiencing catastrophic data loss affecting years of documents after a routine iPhone-to-iPhone iCloud synchronization. Standard Apple Support has been unable to resolve this issue, and I urgently need engineering-level assistance. INCIDENT SUMMARY: Date: August 9, 2025 Action: Synced iCloud from iPhone 16 to iPhone 12 mini Result: ALL files in iCloud Drive on Mac disappeared Data lost: Multiple years of documents including critical PDF files Support Case #: [Your case number if you have one] TECHNICAL DETAILS: Mac: MacBook Pro running macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 Source: iPhone 16 Destination: iPhone 12 mini iCloud account: [Your Apple ID] WHAT HAPPENED: Had fully populated iCloud Drive on Mac and iPhone 16 Signed into iCloud on iPhone 12 mini to sync data After sync completion, Mac's iCloud Drive became completely empty Desktop and Documents folders show in structure but contain no files iCloud.com shows empty folders "Recently Deleted" in iCloud.com is also empty ATTEMPTED RECOVERY: Checked ~/Library/Mobile Documents/ - only folder structure remains Verified with 'brctl dump' - shows folders but no documents Checked all trash locations - empty No Time Machine backup available Apple Support unable to recover server-side backups CRITICAL QUESTIONS: Does Apple maintain point-in-time snapshots of iCloud data that engineering can access? Can you check server logs for my Apple ID around August 9, 2025? Is there a known issue with iPhone 16 to iPhone 12 mini iCloud sync? Can you restore my iCloud Drive to its state before August 9, 2025? This appears to be a serious sync bug that caused newer device's empty state to overwrite existing data rather than merging. I have not touched the affected devices to preserve any forensic data. I urgently need someone from the iCloud engineering team to investigate server-side recovery options. This is years of irreplaceable personal and professional data. Please escalate this to the appropriate engineering team immediately. I am available 24/7 for any diagnostic information needed. Thank you for your urgent attention to this matter. Heejin Jo +82 10-6879-2647

Hi!!! I can't publish the app as I have a paid membership through Stripe. I have a wordpress site and have a paid membership to access the content... The app is geared by a third party service and I can't put any code into it... What can I do? There is an idea that in the application to display a link to the site where to place the payment for membership... Please advise, I'm not the first to face this....

I'm working on a video player app that has the basic functionality of viewing a video and then be able to trim and crop that video and then save it. My flow of trimming a video and then saving it works well with any and every video. Cropping, however, doesn't work in the sense that I am unable to Save the video and export it. Whenever I crop a video, in the video player, I can see the cropped version of the video (it plays too!) but on saving said video, I get the error: Export failed with status: 4, error: Cannot Decode I've been debugging for 2 days now but I'm still unsure as to why this happens. I'm almost certain the bug is somewhere cause of cropping and then saving/exporting. If anyone has dealt with this before, please let me know what the best step to do is! If you could help me refine the flow for cropping and exporting, that'd be really helpful too. Thanks!

Hello there I’m on public beta 1 and wanna update now to the public beta 2 but the beta doesn’t show up the dev 5 is showing up but the public 2 not why or what can I do

Background: I'm from Kenya and I use Mpesa all the time far more than bank cards. I use it to pay for stuff. One way that works is I input my phone number in the online checkout form and it should initiate what they call STK push on my phone with the line inside. I should input my Mpesa pin to authorize the payment. That works well on my Android and the basic "button" phone. In the iphone, I get issues. Issue: I was checking out at a supermarket, and on the line I should get a prompt and input the pin and that is it. I get the prompt, input the pin. The POS should update in a second or two and I should get a confirmation message. Nothing happens. Looking at the network bar, I realize the network bar is gone for one SIM. I don't know which. Airplane mode on off and try again the checkout. After inputing the pin, nothing happens. Then someone hints that iphones don't work with STK push. I had to go out, withdraw from an agent so I could pay for my stuff. 30 minutes wasted. Today I'm eating at a restaurant that has the same mpesa check-out. Same issue. I had to send money normally to an employee, who offers to go get cash for me at a fee since the nearest mpesa agent or ATM was kilometers away. Time and money wasted. Now this evening I'm chilling somewhere and there is an internet hotspot where you pay with mpesa and use internet with hourly rates. Tried to pay. Nothing happens after sending the pin. Well, something happens - there is a network outage on one SIM - network bars greyed out. I have to airplane on and off or wait a few minutes for it to come back on again. Trying to pay for Spotify premium, same issue. Tried asking people with iphones and it seems to be a common issue. It works sometimes, most times not. At first I thought it is because I'm using beta version of iOS. Pretty much everyone with iphone is complaining. In fact iPhone people are walking around with a backup 'mpesa' phone because of this issue. I haven't seen an answer in the discussions. Maybe people in the rest of the world haven't experienced this because this kind of payment is not very popular elsewhere. I would like to know if this is a bug or is it some settings we missed to make it work. Thank you.

Hello developers, My question isn't directly related to app or software development, but this seems to be the most appropriate channel to possibly find the information I need. Context I work for an automotive company and I'm currently looking for Apple CarPlay certification guidelines. We're in the process of installing a multimedia system in a vehicle. The most viable solution would be to use the multimedia unit and microphone provided by our supplier, but with a custom wiring harness developed by our company to simplify the installation process. The multimedia unit, microphone, and the supplier’s harness are already certified for CarPlay. Question Would using our company’s custom wiring harness affect the existing CarPlay certification of the supplier’s product? Any information, contact, or suggestion on where I could find official guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Hi all, Recently, I received feedback from users that the cell of UITableView will be enlarged when clicked on the iOS26 system. After positioning, it was found that the iOS26 system has reset the frame of the contentView so that its width is always the screen width. The following Demo can reproduce this problem. Does anyone have this problem? Is there a solution? Thanks Run and click on the cell to see the problem http://www.yangshuang.net/TestProject.zip

I successfully installed macOS Tahoe 26 in June on a separate external partition. Now I want to update to beta 5, but when the Mac restarts to install the update, it shows the progress indicator for a minute or two, then boots again into the main partition which has macOS 15.6. Am I required to install it from scratch?

WiFi networks using Captive login fail to present login screen. Network connects but no internet access. I have to use my iPhone running iOS 18 as hotspot to use Captive network.

I am using HelloPhotogrammetry in Xcode I can make one model with something like HelloPhotogrammetry.main([path_to_folder_of images, path_to_output/model.usdz, "-d", "medium", "-o", "unordered", "-f", "high" ]) But how would I request several models simultaneously? I only want to vary the detail.

After checking the forum, it's clear that Apple has a MAJOR ONGOING PROBLEM here. We are far from the only company experiencing this, and it has been a problem for years. Apple, please FIX THIS! What's the problem? We receive an email reminding us to renew our developer account. All of Apple's instructions to renew do not work (with no explanation), and yet we are threatened with removal of our apps if we do not renew in time. Firstly, it should be unnecessary for us to manually renew because we registered a valid credit card to auto-renew. It worked last year, and the same credit card continues to be valid. Secondly, when we try to manually renew, there is no "Renew" button appearing anywhere, contrary to Apple's instructions. It's not in the Developer app (Mac or iOS), and it does not appear in the Developer account website. We now have only 16 days left until Apple kicks our app out of the App Store. @APPLE: We are not alone. Lots of your customers have the same problem, as reported on this forum for multiple years. This problem threatens the livelihoods of many people. Please fix this! Thank you.
