IOS 26 - Lock Iphone during install on "low battery" page
Hi! Just downloaded the IOS 26 beta software to my Iphone 15 128gb and during the second phase of installation of the update (when the phone start rebooting a few time) my iphone showed the display of low battery with the time displayed on the top left corner of the screen, even though my Iphone was pluged in during the full time of the install and had more than 50% of battery before launching the installation. So far-here is what i know: I wouldn't be able to confirm if the install was successfull or not i tried forced reboot a few time but i keep landing on the low battery page some other people are experiencing the same problem as i am as i could confirm on the reddit dedicated to the IOS26beta page

Universal Link works directly but not via redirect on iOS 18 and above
Hi everyone, We're facing an issue with Universal Links on iOS 18 and above. The problem seems related to how iOS handles redirects before reaching a Universal Link. ✅ Working Link (direct): When we open this direct Universal Link, the app opens as expected: 👉 https://dl.punchh.com/deeplinks/logansroadhouse/ ❌ Not Working (redirected link): This marketing/tracking link eventually redirects to the above Universal Link, but on iOS 18+, it opens the App Store or a browser instead of the app: 👉 https://ip2.loyalty.logansroadhouse.com/ls/click?upn=... The same redirect link works fine on iOS 17 and below — it opens the app.

Apply Carplay Issues 18.1 - Phone Calls Not Working Properly
I have a 2020 Toyota Camry XSE. Ever since the iOS 18 and 18.1 updates while connected to my car via the USB cable to CarPlay when receiving or making calls the calls are lagging. A little bit of background is I have the new iPhone 16 Pro, the phone is completely up to date and my car has all the latest updates available as well so everything is up to date. I also bought a new USB cord to make sure it was not a cord issue. When I connect to my car through the cable and go to car play, everything works except for when I make or receive a call. When making or receiving a call upon answering or starting the call the moment the person picks up the system delays both voices on the call. What happens is the "time on phone display" that shows during the call, the time does not move like the call is frozen on the screen. Because of that the call is lagged when I speak or they speak and you are unable to have a normal conversation because of this. If I put the phone on speaker while still connected all of a sudden the call time unfreezes on the screen and starts counting again but the moment it take it off speaker the time freezes again and the call starts lagging again. I have NEVER had an issue until the iOS 18 updates. Please provide any feedback or suggestions, or if this is a known issue and it is currently being worked on. Like I said everything else works except for making/receiving calls that is when the issues start and the CarPlay screen freezes and starts the issues.

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)

Caution: watchOS 26 Beta 2 (may) brick Hermes variants
Exercise caution applying Beta 2 on a Hermes Apple Watch. A number of anecdotes (including my own) that this causes very rapid battery drain, i.e. minutes, followed by a cycle of lower power mode, and very slow charge as battery drain seems as fast as charge so it tops out in low single digit %. Any interaction seems to cause the cycle to recur, rendering the watch in effect unusable. The connection to the phone is also broken, with the Watch app crashing after 1–2 seconds, 100% repeatably. This post is to caution avoidance, but a fix is going to be problematic if the watch can't get anywhere near 50% charge. The "anecdata" that this is widespread specifically with Hermes watches is: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/watchos-26-beta-thread.2458443/page-5?post=33976625#post-33976625 And: https://www.reddit.com/r/watchOSBeta/comments/1lipud8/comment/mzh6ekt/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button Emailed through developer.apple.com with case ID 102630146259.

macOS is experiencing a severe memory leak issue.
After installing macOS Tahoe26.0 beta5 (25A5338b) or beta4, a memory and disk leak appears, likely caused by Spotlight indexing. The mds_stores process consumes up to 60 GB of RAM, while disk writes continue until an additional 50 GB is filled. Once the maximum is reached, the system frees the space and the cycle repeats, leading to severe memory leakage. In the available space, system data occupies as much as 150 GB. System Versions Affected: macOS Tahoe26.0 beta5 (25A5338b) and beta4. Reproduction Steps: Occurs immediately after booting up, with no additional user actions. Workaround: Booting into Safe Mode prevents the issue from occurring. Possible Cause: A bug in Spotlight indexing. In Safe Mode, Launchpad cannot search for applications, and no other issues have been observed so far. This strongly suggests that Spotlight indexing is the root cause. Potentially Affected Software: Developer-related tools such as Node.js, Maven, Vue.js, etc. It is possible that Spotlight is indexing developer project dependency directories (e.g., node_modules), which contain a large number of small files that do not require indexing, leading to this problem.

Sudden Termination of Apple Developer Account - Seeking Community Advice
Hello, everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm facing an unfortunate issue with my Apple Developer Program membership that was suddenly terminated. I received a generic email from Apple, stating that my membership was revoked, but no specific reason was provided for this action. I appealed the decision, offering all possible explanations and commitments to adhere to guidelines, only to be met with a reply stating that the decision is "final" and no subsequent appeals will be processed. Has anyone here faced a similar situation? Are there any steps that can be taken to understand the reason for termination when Apple doesn't disclose it? Is there a way to open a dialogue with Apple, even when they've stated that their decision is final? Would publicizing this issue through social media or blogs be advisable? This is a particularly trying time for us, as we are recovering from a recent earthquake and our app is our sole source of income. Any insights, advice, or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. We don't violate any apple's policies... any information would be welcome. Best regards,

18.4 Update Bug
Hey everyone, First time posting on here. I updated my iPhone 15Pro to 18.4 this morning march 5th, and almost immediately my phone started bugging. Safari won’t load, neither will some of my apps that are heavily data based like Mail. I tried WiFi and data, no difference, I tried different WiFi connections and even a hotspot. Siri and chatGPT also won’t load BUT instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X, and threads are working perfectly fine. Most games won’t load either. I tried to use a VPN and it has allowed me to access everything that is down Including Siri. This is a temporary solution, hopefully there is a more permanent fix. Thank you all in advance.

Active Paid Subscriptions dropped to 0 suddenly on App Store Connect
Hello, I noticed that on September 18, 2025, my Active Paid Subscriptions metric in App Store Connect suddenly dropped to 0 (-100%). However, my subscribers are still active and visible in RevenueCat and Superwall, which both confirm that users have not canceled their subscriptions. This makes me believe it is an App Store Connect reporting issue rather than an actual churn. Could you please confirm if this is a known data delay/bug, and let me know when the metric will be corrected? Thank you for your help

Ios 26 public beta 2 CarPlay glitch
Both Apple and third-party apps in CarPlay are not displaying properly after updating to iOS 26 public beta two. I submitted feedback, wondering if anybody else had this problem and have solved it. The only apps that appear to be working normally are map apps like Apple Maps, Google Maps and Waze. The others show only background, but if you tap on the touchscreen it will perform an action as if the tile/link is there, but invisible

Clearing an app’s memory, data etc.
My app works perfectly the first time it is used but when returning to the start after playing the game and playing another it does some random things. I figure it is because the app still retains the previous game in it’s memory allocation? My question is, what is the best way programmatically to have an app start fresh and not have to quit it and open it again?

There was an error processing your request. Please try again later
Hello everyone, on August 31st, all the apps in my personal developer account were suddenly expired and deleted, I have not received any response from Apple. My apps are in compliance with Apple's policies. I then uploaded a new version and sent it to the review team, but I received the following error "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later." I have contacted Apple via Email and Phone but no one cares about my problem. Has anyone had the same situation as me, I am really worried.
