Unable to Check for Update IOS26 Beta1
I’ve updated to iOS 26 Beta 1, and now I can’t revert to an earlier version because my iPhone automatically created a backup using the iOS 26 version. I’m also unable to check for updates—my device can’t retrieve information from the server, so it’s not detecting that Beta 2 is available. I need help resolving this issue, please.

different panels.
If I have, say a doctor appointment in the Calendar app, and I'm leaving to go to it, the address will appear in Apple Maps on CarPlay. Forgive if I'm getting the details wrong, but I believe if I bring up the Map, it will be available to tap on, so I can quickly go there. I think it may also show up on one on the car-play screens that shows a few different panels.

Battery stuck at 1% after installing iOS 26 beta 2 – device only usable when plugged in, battery capacity shows 0%
After installing iOS 26 Developer Beta on my iPhone 13 mini, I encountered a critical battery issue. The battery percentage was stuck at 1%, and the phone could only be used while continuously plugged in. Despite the low reading, the device remained fully functional — I could use apps, navigate, and perform tasks normally. However, the battery indicator never rose above 1%, and the Battery Health section in Settings showed 0% Maximum Capacity, which is inaccurate. I did not allow the phone to fully discharge, out of fear that it might not turn back on. Restarting the phone and changing cables or chargers had no effect. After restoring the device to iOS 18.7.2 using DFU mode, the issue disappeared entirely — the battery percentage behaved normally again and the health section showed the correct value (about 100%). Observed behavior: • Battery percentage frozen at 1% • Maximum Capacity reported as 0% • Device only functional while connected to power • Issue resolved immediately after restoring to iOS 18 Temporary solution: A DFU restore to iOS 18 (18.5 22F76) immediately resolved the issue. The battery percentage and health readings returned to normal. Additional information: • Charger used: Official Apple 20W USB-C charger • Cable used: Apple USB-C to Lightning cable • Battery health after restore: 100% (replaced)

In rare VoIP calls, B can’t hear A, but A can hear B — audio input issue on iOS?
Hi everyone, We’re seeing a rare but frustrating issue in our iOS VoIP app and would appreciate any advice. What’s happening: In some VoIP calls between two users (let’s say A and B), B can’t hear A’s voice, but A can still hear B just fine. It doesn’t happen often, but once it does, the issue persists until the device is restarted. Users who experience this issue typically have other voice or conferencing apps installed and actively use them. They report that when our app runs into this problem, those other apps continue to work normally. ⸻ What we’ve ruled out: • AVAudioSession has microphone permission, and audio input works under normal conditions • Network conditions are stable • App-side logic seems solid — the issue occurs extremely rarely (e.g., 1 out of several thousand calls), making it unlikely to be caused by a consistent bug in our call flow ⸻ What we’ve tried to fix it (all ineffective): Restarting the call — no effect Force-quitting and relaunching the app — no effect Toggling Bluetooth: disconnecting and reconnecting audio route, or switching back to built-in mic — no effect Replugging wired headphones or switching to the default iPhone audio input — no effect ⸻ What actually works (so far): • Restarting the device — this is the only action that reliably fixes the issue ⸻ What we’re looking for help with: 1. Does this sound like an iOS-level AVAudioSession routing or audio stack issue? 2. Is there any way to recover from this state without rebooting the device — either through iOS system settings or programmatically? 3. Are there any known audio routing or input bugs in iOS that match this behavior? Thanks in advance — any suggestions or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Unknown unauthorized mdm
m personal iPhone is managed by an Unauthorized and Unknown mdm management team, The profile isn’t showing up in VPN Settings and I can’t remove them from having Remote access and control over my Personal Device! I’ve SPENT MANY MONTHS TRYING TO GET SUPPORT VIA EMAILING APPLE DEVELOPER AND SPEAKING TO APPLE SUPPORT WHICH HAS BEEN EXTREMELY EXHAUSTING AND HUMILIATIN! I’ve resorted to contacting Internet crime websit, the federal trade commissio, Better business bureau and Consumer Affairs to file an online complaint against Apple for not complying with their Security and Privacy policy for consumers accounts! Because of this unauthorized and unknown mdm devi management profile I don’t have COMPLETE CONTROL OVER MY OWN IPHONE! !

The push notification icon is still displaying the old version
Hello guys, We have updated our app icon, and it is correctly reflected in our app build and assets. However, the push notification icon is still displaying the old version for some users. ✅ We have verified that: All icon assets in Assets.xcassets match the new icon. The app icon has been updated in Info.plist. The app has been resubmitted and approved on the App Store. ❌ However, some users still see the old notification icon, even after reinstalling the app. Restarting the device does not always resolve the issue. Could you provide insights into how iOS caches notification icons and how we can force a refresh for all users?

iOS 26 beta bricked iPhone 16 pro max
Hello, I downloaded the iOS 26 beta update on my iPhone 16 pro max and it bricked my device. After the download was installed the phone never turned on and when I tried to power it on, the charging battery logo came out but the battery was at 97% when the update was finish. I tried to soft reset the phone and several things go power on the device and nothing happened. finally, i took it to the Apple Store today in the morning and they will send out the phone for repairs Which mean they will probably change the entire phones software.

I replied to the email three days ago and got no response. I tried again by requesting the subscription two days ago, but all I received was an automated message saying they would reply within two business days. What I did exactly: I went to my Apple Developer account, clicked on Subscriptions, and entered my card details. They sent me an email saying they are preparing my order, but nothing else. Has anyone else had the same issue with Apple Developer support? Regards,

Persistent Remote Access or Network Manipulation? Technical Findings and Questions
Over the past few months, I’ve been experiencing persistent, abnormal behavior on my iPhone. Here's a short timeline: March 2025: Most apps log me out every time I close them. April 2025: Stored passwords suddenly begin failing across apps and websites. May–June 2025: Password recovery emails from Gmail accounts no longer arrive — suggesting that Gmail itself may be compromised or blocked/intercepted. Given the escalation, I ran several diagnostics and extracted system-level logs. Below is a structured summary of findings that point toward potential remote access, network traffic rerouting, and possibly hidden use of Bluetooth or debugging interfaces. Device Information Model: iPhone17,1 (A17 chip) iOS Version: 18.5 (Build 22F76) Status: Stock, not jailbroken or running a developer build Region: Netherlands Carrier: KPN NL Language/Locale: Dutch (nl-NL) 1. Evidence of Remote Services and XPC Connectivity Source: remotectl_dumpstate.txt More than 50 remote lockdown and diagnostic services are listed as active. Notable entries: com.apple.mobile.lockdown.remote.trusted and .untrusted com.apple.mobile.file_relay.shim.remote com.apple.webinspector.shim.remote com.apple.pcapd.shim.remote com.apple.bluetooth.BTPacketLogger.shim.remote com.apple.mobile.insecure_notification_proxy.remote This volume of .shim.remote and diagnostic services appears highly irregular for a non-debug, non-jailbroken device. 2. Skywalk Network Flows and Unusual Routing Source: skywalk.txt Dozens of flowswitch entries across interfaces like: ipsec0-7, pdp_ip0-2, en0-2, awdl0 Apps such as Gmail, ChatGPT, Preferences, and com.apple.WebKit are marked as defunct, yet persist in flow tables. Two specific daemons — replicatord and siriactionsd — appear on nearly every interface, in both QUIC and TCP6 traffic. skywalkctl flow-route shows multiple external IP paths, with flows routed through ipsec7, owned by kernel_task.0 — indicate tunnelling? 3. System Anomalies and Resource Behavior Inaccessible System Network Tools Source: get-network-info.txt All scutil calls fail (/usr/sbin/scutil does not exist). This blocks access to: DNS configuration (scutil --dns) Proxy and VPN status (scutil --proxy, --nc list) Reachability checks (scutil -r www.apple.com) The absence of scutil is not expected right? Unusual Resource Usage Source: assetsd.diskwrites_resource-2025-06-25.json assetsd, working on behalf of cloudphotod, wrote over 1 GB of memory-backed files in under 1.5 hours. 4. Metadata Confirmation Source: Analytics-2025-06-27-020008.json Confirms: iPhone capacity: 256 GB DRAM: 7.5 GB Carrier: KPN NL Apps marked as highly active ("Games", "Creativity") in analytics also appear as defunct in skywalk, suggesting ghost background processes. Key Questions for the Developer Community Are >50 remote .shim.remote services typical on iOS 18.5 (release build)? Or does this suggest tampering, an MDM configuration, or debug provisioning? Could a misconfigured VPN or MDM profile enable persistent flow-switching across multiple interfaces (e.g., ipsec, pdp, awdl) and reroute app traffic such as Gmail? Is it possible for a test or developer certificate to silently side-load a background daemon, or trigger services like pcapd or file_relay, without showing in Profiles or Settings? Has anyone else seen the scutil binary missing or inaccessible on a stock iPhone? Could this be a sign of intentional lockdown or system modification? If anyone on iOS 18.5 / iPhone17,1 can share their remotectl_dumpstate output, I'd like to compare the service count and see if this behavior is reproducible. I’d appreciate any insight from those familiar with Apple’s system daemons, skywalk internals, or network service behavior. Happy to share sanitized logs or run additional diagnostics if needed. Thanks in advance. get-network-info.txt route-info.txt remotectl_dumpstate.txt [ assetsd.diskwrites_resource-2025-06-25-221428.json

MDM Behind Nginx SSL Cert Issue
I'm trying to make my own MDM server and I'm having trouble allowing nginx to proxy the connection. The web app I'm making can accept http requests so I require nginx. I'm using a certificate from letsencrypt. Every time I try to enroll a phone it instantly rejects at nginx. I have tried multiple cipher options in nginx. I found the following link and my cert supports all except the DHE ones but they say you only need 1.

ITMS-91061: Missing privacy manifest
Hi all, Im trying tu publish an app for iOS and I get it rejected by the lack of this privacy manifest, but unless I understood this wrong, this manifest is needed for external tools used, or maybe Im wrong, Im publishing an app made in Unity, so in this case, one has to include a privacy manifest by default? Sorry Im lost in all these terms, so I don't know if im asking something redundant, if you know how to fix this issue please tell me or direct me to the process because I haven't been able to identify the issue. Thanks a lot for any clue beforehand really

I have developed three apps using the Screen Time API. The following are common problems I encountered in the three apps: DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is automatically killed after running for a few days (frequently) The same DeviceActivityEvent in DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is triggered twice during eventDidReachThreshold (especially obvious in iOS18.5) Screen Time authorization is automatically canceled for no reason (occasionally) I hope to get help

Skywalk Network Flows and Unusual Routing Source: skywalk.txt Dozens of flowswitch entries across interfaces like: ipsec0-7, pdp_ip0-2, en0-2, awdl0 Apps such as Gmail, ChatGPT, Preferences, and com.apple.WebKit are marked as defunct, yet persist in flow tables. Two specific daemons — replicatord and siriactionsd — appear on nearly every interface, in both QUIC and TCP6 traffic. skywalkctl flow-route shows multiple external IP paths, with flows routed through ipsec7, owned by kernel_task.0 — indicate tunnelling? 3. System Anomalies and Resource Behavior Inaccessible System Network Tools Source: get-network-info.txt All scutil calls fail (/usr/sbin/scutil does not exist). This blocks access to: DNS configuration (scutil --dns) Proxy and VPN status (scutil --proxy, --nc list) Reachability checks (scutil -r www.apple.com) The absence of scutil is not expected right?

Key Questions for the Developer Community Are >50 remote .shim.remote services typical on iOS 18.5 (release build)? Or does this suggest tampering, an MDM configuration, or debug provisioning? Could a misconfigured VPN or MDM profile enable persistent flow-switching across multiple interfaces (e.g., ipsec, pdp, awdl) and reroute app traffic such as Gmail? Is it possible for a test or developer certificate to silently side-load a background daemon, or trigger services like pcapd or file_relay, without showing in Profiles or Settings? Has anyone else seen the scutil binary missing or inaccessible on a stock iPhone? Could this be a sign of intentional lockdown or system modification? If anyone on iOS 18.5 / iPhone17,1 can share their remotectl_dumpstate output, I'd like to compare the service count and see if this behavior is reproducible. I’d appreciate any insight from those familiar with Apple’s system daemons, skywalk internals, or network service behavior. Happy to share sanitized logs or run additional diagnostics if needed. Thanks in advance. get-network-info.txt route-info.txt remotectl_dumpstate.txt [ assetsd.diskwrites_resource-2025-06-25-221428.json

MDM Behind Nginx SSL Cert Issue
I'm trying to make my own MDM server and I'm having trouble allowing nginx to proxy the connection. The web app I'm making can accept http requests so I require nginx. I'm using a certificate from letsencrypt. Every time I try to enroll a phone it instantly rejects at nginx. I have tried multiple cipher options in nginx. I found the following link and my cert supports all except the DHE ones but they say you only need 1. (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/128482?answerId=404052022#404052022) What else can I do? 2025/05/21 14:39:44 [info] 105709#105709: *2887 peer closed connection in SSL handshake while SSL handshaking, client: 27.32.155.108, server: 0.0.0.0:9234 2025/05/21 14:41:42 [info] 106014#106014: *2891 peer closed connection in SSL handshake while SSL handshaking, client: 27.32.155.108, server: 0.0.0.0:9234 2025/05/21 14:42:32 [info] 106134#106134: *89 peer closed connection in SSL handshake while SSL handshaking, client: 27.32.155.108, server: 0.0.0.0:9234 2025/05/21 15:09:13 [info] 106132#106132: *124 client timed out (110: Connection timed out) while waiting for request, client: 172.40.1.61, server: 0.0.0.0:9234 below from ssllabs.com upstream backendmdmios { server 172.40.1.61:6744; } server { listen 9234 ssl; http2 on; server_name mdm.domainplaceholder.com; error_log /etc/nginx/logs/ios.com.error.log debug; # error; ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mdm.domainplaceholder.com/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mdm.domainplaceholder.com/privkey.pem; ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3; #ssl_ciphers ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384; ssl_ciphers ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-CBC-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-CBC-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384; #ssl_ciphers TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256:TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305; #ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; #ssl_ciphers EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:DHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:DHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:AES256-GCM-SHA384:AES128-GCM-SHA256:AES256-SHA256:AES128-SHA256:AES256-SHA:AES128-SHA:HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4:!3DES:!CAMELLIA; ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; ssl_dhparam /etc/nginx/dhparams.pem; location / { proxy_set_header Host $host; proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_pass http://backendmdmios$request_uri; } }

Ongoing Suspicious Remote and Network Access Behavior — Seeking Technical Insight
O v er the past few months, I’ve been experiencing persistent, abnormal behavior on my iPhone. Here's a short timeline: March 2025: Most apps log me out every time I close them. April 2025: Stored passwords suddenly begin failing across apps and websites. May–June 2025: Password recovery emails from Gmail accounts no longer arrive — suggesting that Gmail itself may be compromised or blocked/intercepted. Given the escalation, I ran several diagnostics and extracted system-level logs. Below is a structured summary of findings that point toward potential remote access, network traffic rerouting, and possibly hidden use of Bluetooth or debugging interfaces. ##1 Source: remotectl_dumpstate.txt More than 50 remote lockdown and diagnostic services are listed as active. Notable entries: com.apple.mobile.lockdown.remote.trusted and .untrusted com.apple.mobile.file_relay.shim.remote com.apple.webinspector.shim.remote com.apple.pcapd.shim.remote com.apple.bluetooth.BTPacketLogger.shim.remote com.apple.mobile.insecure_notification_proxy.remote This volume of .shim.remote and diagnostic services appears highly irregular for a non-debug, non-jailbroken device. 2. Skywalk Network Flows and Unusual Routing Source: skywalk.txt Dozens of flowswitch entries across interfaces like: ipsec0-7, pdp_ip0-2, en0-2, awdl0 Apps such as Gmail, ChatGPT, Preferences, and com.apple.WebKit are marked as defunct, yet persist in flow tables. Two specific daemons — replicatord and siriactionsd — appear on nearly every interface, in both QUIC and TCP6 traffic. skywalkctl flow-route shows multiple external IP paths, with flows routed through ipsec7, owned by kernel_task.0 — which could indicate system-level tunneling. 3. System Anomalies and Resource Behavior Inaccessible System Network Tools Source: get-network-info.txt All scutil calls fail (/usr/sbin/scutil does not exist).

ITMS-91061: Missing privacy manifest
Hi all, Im trying tu publish an app for iOS and I get it rejected by the lack of this privacy manifest, but unless I understood this wrong, this manifest is needed for external tools used, or maybe Im wrong, Im publishing an app made in Unity, so in this case, one has to include a privacy manifest by default? Sorry Im lost in all these terms, so I don't know if im asking something redundant, if you know how to fix this issue please tell me or direct me to the process because I haven't been able to identify the issue. Thanks a lot for any clue beforehand really

Summary of issues encountered with the Screen Time interface
I have developed three apps using the Screen Time API. The following are common problems I encountered in the three apps: DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is automatically killed after running for a few days (frequently) The same DeviceActivityEvent in DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is triggered twice during eventDidReachThreshold (especially obvious in iOS18.5) Screen Time authorization is automatically canceled for no reason (occasionally) I hope to get help
