System Data
System data is beyond a joke now. There constant logs being generated and stored somewhere with zero access and ability to delete or clear up. I’ve even tried changing the date hack, however this just created some space from system but mostly just unloaded my apps (a feature which I’ve now disabled, as virtually everything is unloaded now apart from essential items). Apple support says wipe and start again, I’m sure that’s not a solution? Anyone figured out how to resolve this? Also you can’t even force videos into the cloud, frustrating when I’ve got no space and pay for iCloud and have zero space left on my phone. It’s suppose to be intelligent.

Any Sample Financial Reports?
Hey, I'm pre-launch, and can't find any sample financial reports. Really need to see exactly what apple sends out to finish my backend. Anyone have a sample report, or willing to share one of their reports privately. (Promise to keep it private and destroy after use). I'm interested in exact format, not your sales. Particularly interested in reports from people using in app sales and discount offer codes. But that's a bonus. Thank you.

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 I received a generic email from Apple, stating that my membership was revoked, but no specific reason was provided for this action.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

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 - S/MIME Encryption / Certificates
Hi everyone. Since the update to iOS 26, we are no longer able to tap the person's name and view the certificate of a signed email and choose to install the certificate or remove it. This has always worked just fine but seems to be broken on iOS 26 and I have verified that it does not work on iOS 26.1 beta as well. The part that is strange is it does work just fine on an iPad running iPad OS 26. This makes it impossible to send encrypted emails to someone via the mail app on an iPhone. I have found a temporary workaround which is to install Outlook for iOS and install the certificates through that app which then allows me to send encrypted emails via Outlook. This appears to be a bug just with the iPhone as I have also seen a few other people online talking about the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this?

Persistent Remote Access or Network Manipulation? Technical Findings and Questions
Over 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. Device Information Model: iPhone17,1 (A17 chip) iOS Version: 18.5 (Build 22F76) Status: Stock, not jailbroken or running a developer build Region: Netherlands Carrier: KPN NL Language/Locale: Dutch (nl-NL) 1. Evidence of Remote Services and XPC Connectivity 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 — indicate tunnelling? 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) The absence of scutil is not expected right? Unusual Resource Usage Source: assetsd.diskwrites_resource-2025-06-25.json assetsd, working on behalf of cloudphotod, wrote over 1 GB of memory-backed files in under 1.5 hours. 4. Metadata Confirmation Source: Analytics-2025-06-27-020008.json Confirms: iPhone capacity: 256 GB DRAM: 7.5 GB Carrier: KPN NL Apps marked as highly active ("Games", "Creativity") in analytics also appear as defunct in skywalk, suggesting ghost background processes. 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. get-network-info.txt route-info.txt remotectl_dumpstate.txt [ assetsd.diskwrites_resource-2025-06-25-221428.json

Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints using versions 26.1
I am trying to create a new app using IOS-26.1, macOS Tahoe 26.1 and Xcode 26.1 with Swift6. Is this a bug that is going to be addressed. This is in the Debug Console...Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints. Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. Try this: (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it. (Note: If you're seeing NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraints that you don't understand, refer to the documentation for the UIView property translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints) ( "<NSAutoresizingMaskLayoutConstraint:0x10bb18870 h=--& v=--& _TtCC5UIKit19NavigationButtonBar15ItemWrapperView:0x115da48c0.width == 0 (active)>", "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac2ee0 _TtCC5UIKit19NavigationButtonBar15ItemWrapperView:0x115da48c0.leading == _UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80.leading (active)>", "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac30c0 H:[_UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80]-(0)-| (active, names: '|':_TtCC5UIKit19NavigationButtonBar15ItemWrapperView:0x115da48c0 )>", "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac2df0 'TB_Leading_Leading' H:|-(12)-[_UIModernBarButton:0x115d20a80] (active, names: '|':_UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80 )>", "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac2fd0 'TB_Trailing_Trailing' H:[_UIModernBarButton:0x115d20a80]-(12)-| (active, names: '|':_UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80 )>" ) Will attempt to recover by breaking constraint <NSLayoutConstraint:0x115ac2fd0 'TB_Trailing_Trailing' H:[_UIModernBarButton:0x115d20a80]-(12)-| (active, names: '|':_UIButtonBarButton:0x115d40c80 )> Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIViewAlertForUnsatisfiableConstraints to catch this in the debugger.

macOS 26 Tahoe beta 1 - Cannot login
A few days ago I installed beta 1 of macOS 26 Tahoe on a spare MacBook Pro 14-inch M4. Everything went well, and it looks okay (well, I don't like it at all, but hey-ho), and I shut it down. I started it up today, and it rejects my login password every time, then locks my account. When I click the link to "Restart and show password reset options" I'm asked for my Apple ID details, so I enter the correct email and password, then the MBP reboots and I'm back on the login screen with no indication that anything has changed. Guess I'm stuck now... FB18364657

Critical Bug: Photos Turn Completely Black After Editing on macOS Tahoe (25A5295e)
I’ve encountered a critical issue in macOS Tahoe (Beta) that affects the Photos app or any app that leverages Apple’s editing frameworks. After editing certain photos—whether applying filters, cropping, or making basic adjustments—the image suddenly turns completely black upon saving or exiting the edit mode. Details: macOS Version: macOS Tahoe (latest beta) Affected App(s): Photos, Preview, and some third-party editing apps Steps to Reproduce: Open a photo in the Photos app Make any basic edit (e.g., crop, adjust brightness) Click “Done” The edited photo appears entirely black Notes: Happens with both JPEG and HEIC formats Original photo appears fine before editing Exporting the photo also results in a black image Restarting the app/system does not resolve the issue iCloud Photos is enabled This issue seems related to the image rendering pipeline post-editing, possibly tied to Core Image or GPU rendering frameworks. It severely affects photo usability and could result in permanent data loss if backups are not maintained. Please advise if a workaround exists or if this bug has been logged already. Happy to provide system logs or sample images if needed.

Apple, please protect developers' legitimate rights.
As developers of an app with a free basic version and a paid premium version, we recently received a malicious review on our premium app. The review falsely accused our app of being a scam and baselessly claimed it was error-ridden. This comment is clearly malicious and designed to dissuade other users from purchasing our app. The most critical point is that we haven’t had any sales records in that region recently. In response to this review, we promptly contacted Apple Support but received only a generic, templated response stating that no action would be taken. We followed up with another complaint about the review, but it was still dismissed. Apple Support provided a link to their guidelines, and within those guidelines, we found specific clauses that Apple should act upon in cases like this. We sent another email pointing this out, but we’ve received no response since. It feels like developers are left defenseless against such malicious reviews. When we face these attacks, there’s no fair judgment, and Apple doesn’t uphold the very policies it has set to protect developers’ rights. If this continues, how can developers trust this platform to safeguard their basic interests?

iPhone/iPad iCloud is a piece of junk right now.
Since iOS 26.1 I'm running into the following iCloud issues. Contacts are not being synced to iOS and iPad OS at all, no matter how I re-enable contact syncing I can't get them to sync. Somehow, my Mac and iPad are able to send out iMessages, but not my iPhone. My iPhone can receive and sync what I've sent using my Mac and iPad Unable to save an airdropped contact

Can't update to macOS 26 beta 2
I've got the initial WWDC beta of macOS 26 (25A5279m) installed inside a virtual machine (UTM), but can't seem to update to the second beta. Nothing is showing up within Software Update. Is this because it's within a VM, or am I doing something wrong? It'd be a real pain to have to install a new VM afresh with the RestoreImage for every update.

After updating to the newest beta on my iPhone 16 I'm stuck on this screen after accepting the terms: No Internet Connection Setup and activation of Apple Intelligence is unavailable when your device is offline. Connect to the internet and try again. I tried several different networks and 5G but no luck..

XQuartz
XQuartz, used to run X11 apps on the Mac, does not work on Tahoe. Can you do something about this?
