I am trying to communicate with the backend of my project. So I need to install the certificate into the simulator. I have the .pem file but when I drag-dropped it into the simulator, I got
the error "Simulator device failed to complete the requested operation.". The simulator is an iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 18.5. Is there any way to install the cert to my simulator?
PS: I can't use Apple Configurator or MDM because I am using the office's Mac. And I can't install anything there. So I can only do it manually.

In SF Symbols 7 (115), there are 458 symbols missing Availability info. I only discovered this after using one that didn’t appear in iOS 18 but does in iOS 26.
Questions:
Are there plans to add Availability info for all symbols?
If the field is blank, is there a safe latest-OS version we can assume?
I realize managing 7,000+ icons is tough, but missing info like this makes development frustrating. It doesn't help that there's no build warning when a named image isn't found, it just defaults to the text label.

I'm trying to download the iOS 26 restore image for my iPhone 14 Pro Max, which is my test device. However, when I attempted to install it directly via the over-the-air (OTA) update, the iPhone rebooted to the iOS 26 "Welcome" screen, but with no touch functionality—the screen was completely unresponsive.
I restored the device back to iOS 18.5 and tried the OTA update again, but once more, the touch screen stopped working upon completion.
Now, I am trying to download the iOS 26 restore image from the official developer page (https://developer.apple.com/download/#ios-restore-images-ipad-new) to install it manually using my Mac. However, I've run into a problem with the download links:
The link for the iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 26) restore image actually downloads the iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 18.5) image.
Conversely, the link for the iPhone 14 Pro seems to provide the correct iPhone 14 Pro Max (iOS 26) image.
The issue is that when I try to restore my iPhone using this seemingly correct file, I receive an error that the firmware file is not valid or compatible. I suspect it's not being properly signed by Apple for my device during the restore process.
Does anyone have the correct, official download link for the iOS 26 restore image for the iPhone 14 Pro Max? How can I fix these errors?
Hello,
There seems to be a regression with macOS SDK 15 and dynamically loading libraries if Address Sanitizer is turned on. Seems to only affect Debug builds, and .frameworks. I've also reported this via the Feedback Assistant: FB16513866
Here's a minimal repro, if anyone is interested: https://gist.github.com/peter-esik/6b00432e411be85333e14ae7d953966e
I thought I'd post this here, as according to my web searches, this isn't a very well-known bug at this point.
I am running into an issue where when layers are grouped, the icon is not shown as it does within the preview in the Icon Composer app
Is this a bug or is it some setting within the group/app?
After the Update of Latest Command Line Tools 16.3 I am facing issue to compile C++ programs. Like it is giving some kind of library error in the MACOSX15.sdk file and this is the error.

But after downgrading the version to 16.2 it works fine. I can't understand that it's their any issue with Command Line Tools 16.3??
does anyone know where to find some slideshow/text/pdf versions of these?
https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/swiftui
maybe apple can use that fancy AI they are working on to generate those from the vides... to stress-test the AI :)

Hello,
I'm trying to use multiple Background Assets Packs to host map tiles.
This is problematic for a few reasons.
MKTileOverlay requires a method that returns a URL.
AssetPackManager.shared.url() throws, but it's unrelated to the url. It will return a URL even if it points to nothing.
There's no name-spacing. Everything appears to be flattened. (See Error below)
Simultaneously, this also is not the case as the documentation states: if there’s a path collision across multiple asset packs, then it’s undefined from which asset pack an individual file will be resolved.
AssetPackManager.shared.url() doesn't have an optional parameter to explicitly declare the asset pack you want to access, like AssetPackManager.shared.contents(at: FilePath) does
For example, I have multiple different tiles I'm trying to overlay for z: 10, x: 239, and y: 414.
Foo/10/239/414.png
Bar/10/239/414.png
And even when explicitly stating the fold directory, it appears that the assets are flattened down. As I'm receiving this error.
The URL for “Foo/10/239/414.png” couldn’t be retrieved: “414.png” couldn’t be copied to “239” because an item with the same name already exists.
Hi,
We use Flat package installers (.pkg based installers) to install our applications on macOS. In macOS 26.1, installation is failing with the error
Unable to use PK session due to incompatible packages. Terminating. 2025-11-03 14:22:36+05:30 Admin-3 installer[1160]: Install failed: The Installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install.
Same installer package is working on macOS 26.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi there! I am not a coder, but I built an app in ADALO just for in-house use in my company, PetroImaging. The app looked the way I wanted it to in the preview mode in ADALO, but when my app was approved and ready for download in the app store, a lot of content was missing. Many buttons that linked to screens were just gone - even though they were there in the preview and the buttons are formatted correctly in adalo. How can I get my content that I need back on my app so the employees can being using it?

I'm unable to sign in to Feedback Assistant on macOS. I have two Apple accounts and neither will sign in. I am able to sign in via the website. With the desktop app I'm getting a rather generic error message:
"Unable to sign in to Feedback Assistant
Thank you for your patience. Please try again later."
This started this morning.

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?
In the beta of Icon Composer, I see macOS, iOS, and watchOS icons, but there is nothing about visionOS and tvOS. Those icons are particularly hard and it would be great if this app worked for developing icons for all Apple platforms.
I tried asking this in a WWDC group lab, but they didn't get to it and suggested posting to the forum.

Dear Apple,I'm an iOS developer and provided feedback in the good old online bug tracker for many years.Decent conversations with Apple egnineers often resulted in bug fixes or updated documentation.The fact that my contributions helped to improve the products was rewarding.So I kept adding reports in the new Feedback Assistant app in macOS Catalina.But ever since (September 2019) I never ever got any response on any ticket.1 month ago I even added a report if Apple even read my reports. Again, no response ever since.So my question on this forum: Is Apple actually reading reports in the new Feedback Assistant?This can either be answered by Apple, or by other Developers that hopefully did response feedback from Apple. Or did not.Best regards,Martijn
There was a time that Apple Developer Documentation provides a filter to show the changes across versions, at https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technologies , with purple (modified), green (added), and red (deprecated) annotations.
I wonder if this feature is completely removed, or is it still hiding somewhere? It is helpful to diff the API changes among versions. Thanks.
edit: as pointed out by Rick, here is an archive link to what it used to look like
Hello,
I am currently in the process of gradually adding support for LiquidGlass to my app. The transition is taking place incrementally, i.e., new screens and minor features are gradually being adapted to the new design and already deployed.
Currently, the old design is still active via the feature flag UIDesignRequiresCompatibility, as the existing UI should remain locked for the public app store version until the transition is complete.
My challenge is as follows:
I would like to work with the new LiquidGlass design during development without having to manually change the UIDesignRequiresCompatibility flag with each deployment.
Ideally, I am looking for a solution where:
• the new design is only activated for me (e.g., specific account or specific devices)
• the old design remains active for all other users
• the App Store version can be delivered unchanged
So my question is:
Is it possible to control UIDesignRequiresCompatibility via remote config or server-side logic in order to activate the new design specifically for certain users or devices?
I have observed similar behavior on WhatsApp—two devices with the same app version, but only one shows the new design. This suggests server-side or remote config-based control.
Do you have any experience or recommendations on how to implement something like this cleanly?
Kind regards
Heinz
Hello All,
I used to own an app named LOLIIPOP, and am in the process of transferring it to my new apple account.
I am having two problems....
How do I transfer the source code and binary to my new apple account?
My developers have an old code, so I need to send them the LAST code they uploaded to the App Store.
How do I do that as well???
Please any help!!!
Thanks,
Mr. LM

I read on this documentation :
https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/reference/app-uploads/on-demand-resources-size-limits
that On Demand Resources a legacy technology.
Does this mean ODR will be deprecated?
If so, when will it officially take effect?
Our application is planning to use it, so we need more information to support our decision.
Hi. I have an iPad 7th gen running iPadOS 14.8.1. For testing purposes, I want to upgrade it to the latest release of iPadOS 17, even though the device wants me to upgrade to iPadOS 18.5. Is there a way to upgrade it to iPadOS 17?
btw this would free-up a newer iPad running iPadOS 17 so I can install iPadOS 26 beta.
Thank you.
