We plan to use signals emitted from iBeacon to perform region detection in an app currently under development.
We would like to know if region detection (didEnterRegion) can be performed when the app is in certain states.
Region detection must be performed reliably.
Is it possible to perform region detection in all of the following situations?
• When the app is in the foreground
• When the app is in the background
• When the app is force-closed
• When the smartphone is in sleep mode
• When the smartphone is restarted

I am writing to report an issue encountered while testing the iOS 26 beta. It appears that adding VPN configurations is currently not possible in this version.
Specifically, attempts to add a new VPN configuration through the Settings app or via programmatic configuration profiles are unresponsive.
As VPN functionality is essential for a number of development and enterprise use cases, I would appreciate it if your team could confirm whether this is a known issue, or provide guidance on any changes to VPN configuration handling in iOS 26.
Please let me know if additional diagnostic information or logs would be helpful.
Thank you for your support and for providing access to the iOS 26 beta.
Best regards,
Majid

I have a new M4 iPad Air and a brand new Apple Pencil Pro. It was working well until I installed iPadOS 26.0 (23A5297m) beta. Now, when using GoodNotes to write the Pencil functions for about 6-8 seconds and then disconnects for 2-3 seconds and then reconnects. You can imagine how disruptive this is. It does the same thing trying to highlight in the Kindle app, so I think it is an iOS issue.
As I write this, I am discovering that the Pencil is not wanting to stay connected at all despite showing up in the list of Bluetooth devices and connecting temporarily. I've tried forgetting and reconnecting the Pencil several times. It is charged to 100%, and I receive the alert that the iPad detects the Pencil.
Is anyone else having this issue? Do I need to assume this is being addressed?
Hello! My name is Brittany! I’m a designer/artist. I am curious about what I should do.. I have all these ideas for developing things in the Apple Vision Pro world. But I have little to no experience with that stuff. I def need an outlet for my creative cutting edge ideas. Is this stuff easy to learn or am I better off working with someone to create my vision? How much would that even cost? Thank you kindly for any assistance💖

I'm trying to run Colab Enterprise notebook's from my iPad Mini, and continue getting the error message 'Unable to connect to the runtime'.
The references support page offers a list of potential issues. I've checked off browser issues (same situation on Chrome, Safari and Firefox), Permissions (works fine on Macbook with same credentials), and network blocking dev platforms (tried this on 3 different networks, plus it works on my macbook).
All signs point to a device issue, but Apple support isn't supporting this issue.
If anyone has any insight into this, I'd appreciate any info.
thx
Hi There,
Last year, I changed my company name from SugAR Labs to All Immersive. My current developer forum username is "SugAR_Labs" and I would like to change it to "All_Immersive" to match my new company name. I was advised by developer support on a phone call that there is not a way for me to do this myself. They referred me to a post like this to see if someone could help. Can someone help me make the change?
Thanks!
Hey,
I have AirPlay speakers that I want to use as permanent speakers on my Apple TV. It is possible since tvOS 26. I want to delete the delay from the connection to the speakers and tried out the wireless audio calibration, but then the TV speakers go on and it only works there, not on the speakers. Does anyone have a solution?
I just installed macOS Tahoe beta on a mac mini. It says I am not connected to the internet, and attempts to use file sharing fail. Network status says that Ethernet and WiFi are working. Any suggestions?
I am currently preparing my submission for the Swift Student Challenge, and my app playground is quite comprehensive. Based on my estimations, it may take approximately 4 to 5.5 minutes for the reviewers to fully experience the interactive elements of my app. Every component is integral to the overall experience, and I would prefer not to remove any content, as each part not only contributes to the overall interactivity but also effectively demonstrates my abilities across different technical and creative domains.
However, I noticed the guideline on https://developer.apple.com/swift-student-challenge/eligibility stating that the interactive scene should be “experienced within three minutes.” While this does not appear to be a main requirement, my app playground significantly exceeds this timeframe.
Could you kindly clarify whether exceeding the three-minute guideline could result in my submission being rejected, or if it might negatively impact the evaluation process? I would greatly appreciate any insights you can provide.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response.

Hi Apple Team & Everyone,
Can someone guide me why sending 'diskutil eraseDisk APFS "WIPED" GPT /dev/disk0' command via terminal to remove/wipe the main physical drive (disk0) is failed?
I tried booting into recovery mode, but it still didn’t work. The command returned the following error:
Started erase on disk0
Unmounting disk
The volume on disk0 couldn't be unmounted because it is in use by process 0 (kernel).
Error: -69877: Couldn't open device
I understand that we can use Disk Utility (GUI) to unmount and erase the drive. Is it possible to perform this operation via Terminal to erase disk0?
I would appreciate any guidance on this.
Regards,
Winson
Product & Version:
iOS 17.5.1 (21F90) – reproducible since iOS 13
Test devices: iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, iPad (10th gen)
Category:
UIKit → Text Input / Keyboard
Summary:
If the system “Save Password?” prompt (shown by iCloud Keychain after a successful login) is onscreen and the user sends the app to background (Home gesture / App Switcher), the prompt is automatically dismissed. When the app returns to foreground, the keyboard does not appear, and text input is impossible in the entire app until it is force-quit.
Steps to Reproduce:
Run any app from AppStore that shows "Save Password" alert.
Enter any credentials and tap Login, iOS shows the system “Save Password?” alert.
Without interacting with the alert, swipe up to the Home screen (or open the App Switcher).
Reactivate the app.
Tap the text field in the app.
I installed the iOS 18.4 developer beta on my iPhone 12 last night, and it ended up sending my phone into a boot loop—at least that's what it looks like. Phone alternates between totally black screen and the Apple logo screen every 5 seconds or so. The phone isn't responding to force restart, isn't showing up in Finder to try to factory reset, etc. My guess is the update was corrupted in some way?
Did this happen to anyone else? Any ideas about what's going on?

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).
This blocks access to:
DNS configuration (scutil --dns)
Proxy and VPN status (scutil --proxy, --nc list)
Reachability checks (scutil -r www.apple.com)
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.

Hi all,
I’m not a developer, but I’m hoping someone with iOS system or network experience can help me understand some very persistent and unusual behavior on my iPhone. I’ve gathered system logs and app-level diagnostics and would really appreciate insight from anyone familiar with daemons, VPN tunnels, or MDM behavior on Apple platforms.
Summary of Issues Over Time
March 2025: Most apps begin logging out automatically when closed
April 2025: Passwords across apps and browsers begin failing
May–June 2025: Gmail password reset emails stop arriving (even though other email works)
These symptoms suggest something affecting secure sessions, DNS routing, or background data handling. I began running diagnostics and found unexpected system and network behaviors:
Examples:
com.apple.mobile.lockdown.remote.trusted
file_relay.shim.remote
pcapd.shim.remote
webinspector.shim.remote
bluetooth.BTPacketLogger.shim.remote
On a normal, non-jailbroken device, I wouldn't expect so many .shim.remote or .diagnostic services to be active. Is this expected on iOS 18.5?
The binary /usr/sbin/scutil appears to be missing.
This breaks commands like:
scutil --dns
scutil --proxy
scutil --nc list
On a standard iOS device, is it even possible for scutil to be removed or disabled?
App Behavior and Config Locking (Cloudflare WARP Log)
From the logs of the Cloudflare WARP app (not enterprise-managed):
The app repeatedly forces VPN tunnels to reconnect or restart by injecting dummy URLs (force OS to restart the network extension process).
It tries to load policy configuration from MDM and Teams APIs (even though no MDM appears in Settings).
Many config items are marked as:
locked: true, visible: true
including:
DNS logs
Fallback DNS
Trusted WiFi settings
The account is labeled as:
WarpAccountRole.child
which may explain some restrictions — but I’ve never set this manually.
This seems more advanced than what the standard WARP app does. Could a provisioning profile or side-loaded config be applying these?
Key Questions for the Community
Are ~50 remote diagnostic services (.shim.remote) normal on iOS 18.5 stock devices?
Could a VPN app (e.g. WARP) or hidden config enforce flow-switching across interfaces like ipsec, awdl, and pdp_ip, even when not visibly active?
Can a provisioning profile or managed config enable services like file_relay, pcapd, or webinspector silently — without any visible MDM profile?
Has anyone seen scutil or other network tools missing on a stock iPhone? What could cause this?
Does WARP in MASQUE mode normally lock DNS settings and force tunnel restarts — or could this indicate tampering?
If anyone on iOS 18.5 / iPhone17,1 can share their remotectl_dumpstate output, I'd love to compare.
Happy to share sanitized logs or run more tests if helpful. Thank you for any insights — especially from those familiar with internal services, VPN frameworks, or supervised profiles.

As soon as I launch, Mail and Safari crash. I hope this is temporary. Tahoe 26.0 Beta
After latest beta firmware update 11.4, the screen is non or less responsive. Right before the update everything was working like a charm.
Tried unpairing, total reset as a new watch, but nothing solves the problem
