TVOS - App Data Stored in Shared App Groups not removing after deletion of apps
Hi, Having a weird issue that I’m noticing on Apple TVs with some apps that are by the same company. I think it’s storing residual user data if if you delete the app and all other apps relating to this. I have even tried deleting every app and reinstalling but we found two apps to be still logged in. Seams like a sandboxing bug and I presume it’s to do with App data stored in the shared app groups. I can only reset the apple tv to remove the user data. The two apps we can see are being persistent is Binge and Kayo by streamotion. We have tried problem solving this in every way imaginable but it’s Interesting that this is allowed to happen on an Apple platform. There is no active user logged into the apple TV with an Apple ID either

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.

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 I received a generic email from Apple, stating that my membership was revoked, but no specific reason was provided for this action.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,

Joining developer program
Hi everyone, It’s been almost three weeks, and I’m still waiting for a reply about my subscription to the Apple Developer Program, but I haven’t received anything. 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,

iOS 18 System Bug Causes URL Scheme Failure
iOS 18 System Bug Causes URL Scheme Failure A bug in iOS 18 causes URL Schemes to become invalid through the following steps, resulting in failure to open apps via URL Scheme. Reproduction Steps: Long-press the app icon Select "Require Face ID" Choose "Hide and Require Face ID" to hide the app Go to the App Library and locate the hidden app in the "Hidden" folder Uninstall the hidden app reinstalling the hidden app After reinstalling the app, all configured URL Schemes will become invalid, causing failure when attempting to open the app via URL Scheme. The issue appears to be that after uninstalling a hidden app and reinstalling it, the system fails to restore the app's URL Scheme functionality.

Issues with iPhone Mirroring
Hi! About a month ago (somewhere around the release of iOS 18.4.1 and MacOS 15.4.1) I started having issues with the iPhone Mirroring app, saying that it's unable to connect to iPhone, although it worked seamlessly before. In error console log I see this chain of events: error 19:00:51.054054+0200 iPhone Mirroring unable to get entitlements for client task. Error: nil error 19:00:51.054074+0200 iPhone Mirroring AppleEvent sender is not entitled error 19:00:51.098453+0200 iPhone Mirroring Tearing down the session due to: noCompatiblePhone error 19:00:51.139329+0200 iPhone Mirroring CAML error:727: No such class `LKEventHandler' error 19:00:51.139342+0200 iPhone Mirroring CAML error:727: Unknown value element `LKEventHandler' error 19:00:51.139349+0200 iPhone Mirroring CAML error:727: `o' element must have `type' attribute I tried literally every solution I could find, including deleting all possible preferences, but to no avail. It also might be worth mentioning that since these issues started, I can't AirPlay from my iPhone to my Mac unless I switch the "Allow Airplay for" option to either "Anyone on the same network" or "Everyone". Can anyone tell me if this may be something connected to those latest updates, or is there anything else I can try on my end? Thanks in advance!

Pilot Comms/headsets
Based a quick research, comfort and fit, noise cancellation issues and durability seems to be the most consistent issues with pilot headsets. I wouldn’t say there is a problem here, because you can easily throw out the faulty headset and spend another $1000 on a new one. However, what if apple can profit by introducing their version of pilot headsets? Besides, most airlines use Apple iPads for Navigation, crew scheduling etc. Make it a one stop shop. Apple already has the framework for music headsets, why not use it as a base for pilot headsets? Disrupt an already stagnant market and give pilots a great alternative. Tap into the interests of a new generation of pilots again most which already uses Apple products. Come up with a new fresh look of ‘pilot comms.’ A good idea is to pitch to the GA (general aviation) industry maybe include Apple headsets with the purchase of a new aircraft.

Payment completed with error: Error Domain=ASDErrorDomain Code=500
I would like to inquire about an error that has started occurring while debugging AppStore billing. (In sandbox environment) This error occurs after entering a password and completing the purchase process, and in this case, no completion alert appears. The error doesn't seem to depend on the purchase item, sandbox account, or device, and shows unstable behavior - sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing. Additionally, this error started occurring after special debugging where the network was disconnected during the purchase process. Moreover, the same error occurs in the TestFlight version of our already released normal (supposedly) version. I think this might be a sandbox-specific error where the system has temporarily become unstable, but what do you think? If so, how can I resolve this issue? I would appreciate your insights on the cause and appropriate response. Error details below: <SKPaymentQueue: 0x283b3d070>: Payment completed with error: Error Domain=ASDErrorDomain Code=500 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x28364d770 {Error Domain=AMSErrorDomain Code=305 "Purchase Failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Purchase Failed, AMSStatusCode=200, AMSServerPayload={ "cancel-purchase-batch" = 1; customerMessage = "Unauthorized_message"; failureType = ""; "m-allowed" = 0; pings = ( ); }, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Server canceled the purchase}}, storefront-country-code=JPN, client-environment-type=Sandbox}

BLE Scan Response
The iPhone XS Max and Garmin watch pairing cannot use BLE to send Scan Response; it can only send BLE advertisements. May I ask if this is a limitation of the Apple system? So far, we have tested several iPhone models, and only the iPhone XS Max has this issue. We are not sure if other untested models have the same problem.

iCloud file reading and writing (iOS)
On my first attempt at adding iCloud to my existing app this is how far I've gotten. For reasons that I won't go into, the use case for my app does not need coordination. I have successfully made my app write a file to the Documents directory of iCloud and read back that same file without errors. In testing on a real iPhone 13 and iPhone 7 I have verified that my app can write a file to iCloud from the iPhone 7 and then read back that same file on the iPhone 13, so I know that the file truly exists in the cloud. But when I make my app on the iPhone 13 write to iCloud, my app on the iPhone 7 says the file does not exist. Exactly the same build of my app is running in both phones. This is problem #1. Problem #2 is that none of these files appear in the iCloud section of the Files app on either of these Phones, nor do they appear in the iCloud section of my Mac. All devices are signed in to my same Apple account in iCloud. Also my info.plist file in the app contains: <key>NSUbiquitousContainers</key> <dict> <dict> <key>iCloud.com.{my domain}.{my app}</key> <dict> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerIsDocumentScopePublic</key> <true/> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerSupportedFolderLevels</key> <string>Any</string> <key>NSUbiquitousContainerName</key> <string>{my app}</string> </dict> </dict> </dict> <key>UIFileSharingEnabled</key><true/> The iPhone 7 is running iOS 15.8.4 and the iPhone 13 is running iOS 18.3.2. The code that does the writing to iCloud is: NSFileManager *fman = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; NSURL *urlDrive = [fman URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier: nil]; NSURL *urlDocs = [urlDrive URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"]; if(urlDocs.path == nil) { NSLog(@"NULL path"); return; //..big problem } if( ! [fman fileExistsAtPath: urlDocs.path] ) { //..need to create the Docs directory NSError *err00 = nil; @try { [fman createDirectoryAtURL: urlDocs withIntermediateDirectories:true attributes:nil error:&err00]; NSLog(@"created the directory"); } @catch (NSException *except) { NSLog(@"Exception creating directory %@", except); } } //..directory is now created NSLog(@"url=%@", urlDocs); NSURL *urlFile = [urlDocs URLByAppendingPathComponent:txtfname()]; NSData *fdata = [@"Hello world" dataUsingEncoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding]; NSLog(@"file url=%@", urlFile); NSLog(@"file Data=%@", fdata); NSError *errorReturn = nil; Boolean ret = [fdata writeToURL: urlFile options: NSDataWritingAtomic error: &errorReturn]; NSLog(@"returned %1d, error=%@", ret?1:0, errorReturn); And the code that does the reading is: NSFileManager *fman = [NSFileManager defaultManager]; NSURL *urlDrive = [fman URLForUbiquityContainerIdentifier: nil]; NSURL *urlDocs = [urlDrive URLByAppendingPathComponent:@"Documents"]; NSLog(@"url=%@", urlDocs); if(urlDocs.path == nil) { NSLog(@"urlDocs.path is NULL!"); return; //..big problem } if( ! [fman fileExistsAtPath: urlDocs.path] ) { //..need to create the Docs directory NSLog(@"It seems the urlDocs folder does not exist"); } NSURL *urlFile = [urlDocs URLByAppendingPathComponent:txtfname()]; if([fman fileExistsAtPath: urlFile.path]) { NSLog(@"file %@ exists", urlFile); [fman copyItemAtURL: urlFile toURL:<#(nonnull NSURL *)#> error:<#(NSError *__autoreleasing _Nullable * _Nullable)#>]; } else { NSLog(@"file %@ DOES NOT EXIST!", urlFile); }

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
