We have a .ipa file that we need to side load on iPhone via USB connected to a MAC. IPA file will be on MAC. We can't use enterprise license. We have a business use case where we need to side load the app. Any way to do that or can be reach apple support for this? Please help.
Note: The iPhones attached will not have the Apple ID logged in. There are companies who are side loading the app for business purpose on the customers phone.

I need to automate updating to latest iOS betas as part of my ci script, but I can't get it to install iOS 26.0 beta for the life of me, using xcodes or xcodebuild.
I can see the version listed using xcodes runtimes --include-betas, and I tried sudo xcodes runtimes install "iOS 26.0-beta1", but I would get the error
Downloading Runtime iOS 26.0-beta1: 0%
Error: ProcessExecutionError()\
I also tried xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 23A5260l, where I found the specific build id on apples dev images website. But I would get the error
iOS 23A5260l is not available for download.
Specific version download failed, trying downloadPlatform ios latest...
And similar error for trying xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS -buildVersion 26.0 or other version ids I found online. But this command would work for any other versions and betas listed on the website.
I was able to install iOS 26.0 through xcodebuild -downloadPlatform iOS, which automatically installed it for me, but this is unideal for my situation, as I want to control which betas to install instead of just the latest one (like iOS 18.6 beta that just came out).
Is anyone else also struggling with these errors?
xcodes version 1.6.2 Xcode version 26.0 Beta (installed and selected through xcode)
Hi,
I have just updated my MacBook to Tahoe Beta 2, but now I cannot boot the iOS simulator.
Where can I download the next Xcode beta? The Application download page is still showing the Xcode beta 1 build.
Cheers,
Jeff
I can see that iOS beta 2 was released yesterday. I'm not running the beta yet on my actual iPhone, but I wanted to see if an issue I reported in beta 1 was fixed.
Is there a way to update my iOS 26 simulator for beta 2? Usually, there's a new Xcode download that includes the new simulator, but it looks like the most recent Xcode beta release was June 9.
In Simulator Korean character system has not working well.
I want to type "", however, if I type the same thing on the simulator's virtual keyboard (Korean), it comes out as ''.
I think this is caused by IME system in ios simulator bug. I think this has been happening since IOS 17.
My experience with Swift 6 strict concurrency so far doesn't match my understanding of implicit MainActor isolation semantics.
This is a cross-post from StackOverflow. I will link answers between both forums.
TL;DR
Build succeeds when testing a struct declared in the test module, but fails when the struct is moved to the main module:
Main actor-isolated property … cannot be accessed from outside the actor.
Steps to reproduce
Open up Xcode 26 beta 2 on macOS 26 (probably also ok on current stables).
Create a new Swift app with Swift testing, no storage. Call it WhatTheSwift.
Set the Swift Language Version on all three targets to Swift 6.
Update the default test file to be this:
import Testing
@testable import WhatTheSwift
struct WhatTheSwiftTests {
@Test func example() async throws {
let thing = Thing(foo: "bar")
#expect(thing.foo == "bar")
}
}
struct Thing {
let foo: String
}
That should build fine, and the tests should pass.
Now, move the Thing declaration into its own Thing.swift file in the WhatTheSwift module, and try running the test again. You should see this:
Observations
Marking the test @MainActor allows the test to pass, suggesting the compiler actually wants to isolate Thing.foo to the main actor.
My question
Why? And why only when Thing is in a different module?

Hi everyone,
I'm developing a Capacitor plugin to display an RTSP video stream using MobileVLCKit on iOS. The Android side works perfectly, but I can’t get the iOS plugin to work — it seems my Swift file is not being detected or recognized, even though I’ve followed the official steps.
What works:
I followed the Capacitor Plugin Development Guide.
I implemented the Android version of the plugin in Java inside the android/ folder. Everything works perfectly from Angular: the plugin is recognized and calls execute correctly.
The issue on iOS:
I implemented the iOS part in Swift, using the official MobileVLCKit documentation.
I initially placed my RtspVlcPlugin.swift file in the plugin’s iOS folder, as the docs suggest.
Then I moved it directly into the main app’s ios/App/App/ folder next to AppDelegate.swift and tried manual registration.
The problem:
Even though I manually register the plugin with:
if let bridge = self.window?.rootViewController as? CAPBridgeViewController {
bridge.bridge?.registerPluginInstance(RtspVlcPlugin())
print("✅ Plugin RtspVlcPlugin registered manually.")
}
It prints the registration message just fine.
BUT from Angular, the plugin is not recognized: Capacitor.Plugins.RtspVlcPlugin has no methods, and I get this error:
"code":"UNIMPLEMENTED"
I also tried declaring @objc(RtspVlcPlugin) and extending CAPPlugin.
I’ve verified RtspVlcPlugin.swift is added to the target and compiled.
The Swift file doesn’t seem to register or expose any methods to Angular.
I even tried adding the code without using a plugin at all — just creating a Swift class and using it via the AppDelegate, but it still doesn't expose any callable methods.
My Swift code (RtspVlcPlugin.swift):
import Capacitor
import MobileVLCKit
@objc(RtspVlcPlugin)
public class RtspVlcPlugin: CAPPlugin, VLCMediaPlayerDelegate {
var mediaPlayer: VLCMediaPlayer?
var containerView: UIView?
var spinner: UIActivityIndicatorView?
@objc func iniciar(_ call: CAPPluginCall) {
guard
let urlStr = call.getString("url"),
let x = call.getDouble("x"),
let y = call.getDouble("y"),
let w = call.getDouble("width"),
let h = call.getDouble("height"),
let url = URL(string: urlStr)
else {
call.reject("Missing parameters")
return
}
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.containerView?.removeFromSuperview()
let cont = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: w, height: h))
cont.backgroundColor = .black
cont.layer.cornerRadius = 16
cont.clipsToBounds = true
let sp = UIActivityIndicatorView(style: .large)
sp.center = CGPoint(x: w/2, y: h/2)
sp.color = .white
sp.startAnimating()
cont.addSubview(sp)
self.spinner = sp
self.containerView = cont
self.bridge?.viewController?.view.addSubview(cont)
let player = VLCMediaPlayer()
player.delegate = self
player.drawable = cont
player.media = VLCMedia(url: url)
self.mediaPlayer = player
player.play()
call.resolve()
}
}
@objc func cerrar(_ call: CAPPluginCall) {
DispatchQueue.main.async {
self.mediaPlayer?.stop()
self.mediaPlayer = nil
self.spinner?.stopAnimating()
self.spinner?.removeFromSuperview()
self.spinner = nil
self.containerView?.removeFromSuperview()
self.containerView = nil
call.resolve()
}
}
public func mediaPlayerStateChanged(_ aNotification: Notification!) {
guard let player = mediaPlayer,
player.state == .playing,
let sp = spinner else { return }
DispatchQueue.main.async {
sp.stopAnimating()
sp.removeFromSuperview()
self.spinner = nil
}
}
}
In the Angular project, I’m using the plugin by manually registering it with registerPlugin from @capacitor/core. Specifically, in the service where I need it, I do the following:
import { registerPlugin } from '@capacitor/core';
const RtspVlcPlugin: any = registerPlugin('RtspVlcPlugin');
After this, I try to call the methods defined in the iOS plugin, like RtspVlcPlugin.iniciar({ ... }), but I get an UNIMPLEMENTED error, which suggests that the plugin is not exposing its methods properly to the Angular/Capacitor environment. That makes me believe the problem lies in how the Swift file is integrated or registered, rather than how it is used from Angular.
I’d appreciate any guidance on how to properly expose a Swift-based Capacitor plugin’s methods so that they are accessible from Angular. Is there any additional registration step or metadata I might be missing on the iOS side?
Hi everyone,
I’m working on a Capacitor app built with Angular, and I’m trying to call a Swift class directly from the root of the iOS project (next to AppDelegate.swift) without using a full Capacitor plugin structure.
The Swift file is called RtspVlcPlugin.swift and looks like this:
import Capacitor
@objc(RtspVlcPlugin)
public class RtspVlcPlugin: CAPPlugin {
@objc func iniciar(_ call: CAPPluginCall) {
call.resolve()
}
}
In AppDelegate.swift I register it like this:
if let bridge = self.window?.rootViewController as? CAPBridgeViewController {
bridge.bridge?.registerPluginInstance(RtspVlcPlugin())
print("✅ RtspVlcPlugin registered.")
}
The registration message prints correctly in Xcode logs.
But from Angular, when I try to call it like this:
import { registerPlugin } from '@capacitor/core';
const RtspVlcPlugin: any = registerPlugin('RtspVlcPlugin');
RtspVlcPlugin.iniciar({ ... });
I get this error:
{"code":"UNIMPLEMENTED"}
So, even though the plugin is registered manually, it’s not exposing any methods to the Angular/Capacitor runtime.
My question is:
What is the correct way to access a manually created Swift class (in the root of the iOS project) from Angular via Capacitor?
Thanks in advance!
Hi, my server in Melbourne Australia is getting weather forecasts from a few places around Australia. When I look at the daily timesteps that I get back, they might be something like this:
"days": [
{
"forecastStart": "2025-06-25T00:00:00Z",
"forecastEnd": "2025-06-26T00:00:00Z",
"daytimeForecast": {
"forecastStart": "2025-06-25T07:00:00Z",
"forecastEnd": "2025-06-25T19:00:00Z",
"overnightForecast": {
"forecastStart": "2025-06-25T19:00:00Z",
"forecastEnd": "2025-06-26T07:00:00Z",}
It doesn't matter where I ask for - Melbourne, Darwin, Perth, it always comes back the same.
The documentation says that daytimeForecast is 7 am to 7 pm local and overnightForecast is 7pm to 7 am local.
However, in a place like Perth 7-19Z is 3 pm to 3 am, not 7 pm to 7 am like advertised.
I can see that for any given date, there are 3 maximum temperature forecasts, a 24 hour max, a daytime max and an overnight max and they differ from each other.
Can anyone help me understand what's happening here?
And furthermore in the example above, the 24 hour forecasts that have, for example this:
"forecastStart": "2025-06-25T00:00:00Z" ... Can the 00:00:00Z be trusted literally? Or is it more the case that it's "2025-06-25" but the HMS got tacked on in a conversion?
Merhaba,
iOS üzerinde bir sözleşme onay uygulaması geliştiriyorum. Kullanıcıların dijital ortamda sözleşmeleri okuyup onaylaması gerekiyor. Ancak hukuki geçerlilik konusunda bazı tereddütlerim vardı.
Bursa’da yaşayan biri olarak bu konuda bir avukata danışmam gerekti. Şans eseri https://www.avukatcanata.com ile karşılaştım ve hem bireysel hem ticari sözleşmeler konusunda gerçekten çok net açıklamalar sundular. Özellikle elektronik imza ve KVKK uyumu hakkında verdikleri bilgiler sayesinde projemi yasal zemine oturtabildim.
Eğer bu tarz uygulamalar geliştiriyorsanız, mutlaka bir hukukçu görüşü alın. Yanlış bir adım size veya kullanıcınıza ciddi sonuçlar doğurabilir.
Teşekkürler 🍏
Does anyone know where I can get to the API diffs for iOS 18 -> iOS 26?
Under macOS 26 and iPadOS, the Help menu in many cases has a menu item for "App Help". This item has the following icon:
I need to use this in my own app. I am unable to find this icon in SF Symbols 7 beta. I've scanned all of the icons under "What's New". I've searched for "help", "light", and "bulb" and this icon does not appear.
Does anyone know if it's even a new SF Symbol? Or does anyone know of a way to use this icon?
Hi,
I have an installer package that runs a postinstall script. The script can take a long time to complete, as one thing it does is copy about 10-30 GB of files using the rsync tool.
We noticed on macOS 15 that the installer would fail almost exactly 10 minutes after it started. Looking in the /var/log/install.log, I see a message like this:
2025-07-01 12:54:32-07 Work-M1 package_script_service[21562]: PackageKit: Terminating PKInstallTask(pid:21573). Task has exceeded its 600 seconds of runtime.
This does not happen in my testing on macOS 12 (Monterey)
I have a few questions about this:
A) Is this documented, and which OS introduced this?
B) Is there a way a developer can extend or disable the time limit via a setting in the installer package. Or if not, is there a way end end user can disable it temporarily on their system?
Thanks, Andrew

I was developing an app using a certain bundle ID, but then had to delete it (and I also removed the app ID Identifier)
My question is, can I make a new app with the exact same bundle ID as I was using on the removed one? Since the old app never went into production I don't see why that would be a problem
Hi everyone,
We’re testing the new iOS 26 capability, Performing Fast Account Creation with Passkeys, using the sample project provided here: Performing Fast Account Creation with Passkeys.
When running the project on the iOS 26 simulator and tapping the "Sign Up" button, we encounter the following error:
The operation couldn’t be completed. (com.apple.AuthenticationServices.AuthorizationError error 1010.)
From the header file, this error is described as:
/// ASAuthorizationError.h
/// This error signals that the device is not currently set up to create passkeys.
ASAuthorizationErrorDeviceNotConfiguredForPasskeyCreation AS_API_AVAILABLE(ios(19.0), macos(16.0), visionos(3.0)) = 1010,
We’ve tested this on both Xcode 26 Beta 1 and Beta 2, and the error persists on the simulator in both versions.
However, when testing on a physical iOS 26 device, everything works as expected, just like in the WWDC demo.
Could this issue be related to missing simulator settings? Or is it a potential bug in the simulator? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
I’m using Developer iOS app to watch WWDC session videos. i notice it doesn’t record a video as watched after I watched it and even manual marking it using Mark as Watch has no effect.
I remember the issue started several years ago because some old WWDC videos were marked watches.

Hi everyone.
I’m working on an iOS app that uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send push notifications. I’m encountering an issue when trying to send notifications either from Firebase Functions or directly using the FCM token with the Firebase Admin SDK and REST API.
Error Message:
FirebaseMessagingError: Auth error from APNS or Web Push Service
code: 'messaging/third-party-auth-error'
message: 'Auth error from APNS or Web Push Service'
What I’ve Set Up:
iOS App Registered in Firebase
Bundle ID: Kilovative-Designs.ParkAware
APNs Key downloaded from Apple Developer Portal
Team ID and Key ID correctly entered in Firebase Console
Firebase Admin SDK Service Account setup and used for sending
Device is successfully receiving FCM tokens
Subscribed to topics and calling Messaging.messaging().subscribe(toTopic:) works
Using firebase-admin to send FCM messages via sendToDevice or sendToTopic
What I’ve Tried:
Tested push via firebase-admin in Node.js (got same APNs auth error)
Tested with both topic-based and direct token-based push
Confirmed the .p8 key is uploaded in Firebase, with correct Key ID and Team ID
Tried generating a new APNs Auth Key
Firebase Admin SDK is initialized with the correct service account
Using Node.js firebase-admin with a known good FCM token, and sending this payload:
{
notification: {
title: "Test Notification",
body: "This is a direct FCM test"
},
token: "cxleOwi73EhFh9C5_V4hED:APA91bE3W..."
}
Returns: FirebaseMessagingError: Auth error from APNS or Web Push Service
Questions:
Are there known conditions under which Firebase throws this error even if the APNs Auth Key is present?
Does the Bundle ID need to start with com. in the Apple Developer Portal and Firebase for APNs authentication to work?
Could this be a certificate or provisioning profile mismatch issue (even when using a .p8 key)?
Is there a way to manually validate APNs authentication from Firebase outside of actual push delivery?
Any insight or guidance would be incredibly helpful. I’m new to developing and have tried repeated efforts to fix this issue but still haven’t resolved it.
Thanks in advance!
