Apple Watch Series 6 – Display Extremely Dim and Flickering After watchOS 26.0 Beta Update (23R5350a)
I have an Apple Watch Series 6 (Model: M00H3LL/A) that was working perfectly before I updated it to watchOS 26.0 beta on 21st August 2024. The update process completed smoothly while the watch was on the charger, but immediately after the update the display became extremely dim. It’s not completely black, but so faint that it’s very difficult to see. I’ve already tried setting the brightness to maximum and also enabled maximum brightness under Accessibility settings, but the issue remains. I also tried force restarting the watch (holding the Digital Crown and side button together), but that did not resolve the issue. I know this is not a hardware issue, since the problem appeared immediately after the update, and at times the display briefly returns to normal brightness for just a few milliseconds (like a flicker). My current watchOS version is 26.0 (23R5350a). Could you please advise on how I can fix this, or confirm if this is a known issue with the beta version? Thank you.

Is It Possible to Restore Previous Browser State After openURL on iOS?
Hi Everyone, I’m currently working on a flow where a web page redirects to our app to perform certain actions, and then returns the user back to the browser. However, on iOS, the only way to go back to the browser is by using the openURL method. The issue is that this method can only open the browser app itself—it can’t control which tab or page is shown, so the user doesn’t return to the original tab they came from. The same limitation also applies to Android. Furthermore, iOS doesn’t allow an app to programmatically return to the previous app (in this case, the browser). While Android doesn’t have an official way either, in some cases, the OS automatically returns to the previous app when ours is closed. I’d like to ask: Is there any known method or workaround that allows returning from my app back to Safari (or the default browser) and restoring the previously active web page or tab? Or, is there any way to programmatically return to the previous app from within my app? Thanks in advance for your support!

Third-party apps reset and force close after launch on iOS 26 Developer Preview
Hi everyone, After updating to iOS 26 Developer Preview on my iPhone, I’m experiencing a repeated issue with certain third-party apps. ⸻ -Issue details: • The apps open as if freshly installed, showing the onboarding or login screen each time • User session is completely lost (no saved login or data) • Around 10 seconds after launch, the app automatically closes • It disappears from the app switcher (not just backgrounded) • This happens every time, with no crash message or error shown ⸻ -What I’ve tried: • Reinstalled the apps • Restarted the device • Toggled Face ID, Background App Refresh, etc. • Confirmed I’m running the latest iOS 26 Developer Preview build ➡️ Problem still occurs exactly the same way ⸻ -Feedback status: I submitted a report via Feedback Assistant with a screen recording and full reproduction steps. No response yet after several days. ⸻ -Looking for: • Confirmation from others with similar issues • Info on whether this is already being tracked by Apple • Whether it’s worth resubmitting a new Feedback report Thanks for any insight.

Feature Request: Let iPad set any custom date, even before 2001, with internet on
Request: Unlock full custom date setting on iPad (even pre-2001) with internet on I’d like to request a feature in iPadOS that allows the system date to be set to any value — even before January 1, 2001 — without disabling or breaking internet access. This is important for: Historical and educational simulations Timeline-sensitive app testing Calendar research and UI behavior in legacy periods Currently, iPadOS blocks dates before 2001. It also may bug out or disable networking features when dates are changed too far back. 📎 I've submitted this request to Apple via the official Feedback Form, and I’ve created a public GitHub repo to invite further support: 🔗 https://github.com/RubixCubeExpert/ipad-date-unlock-request If other developers support this, please reply or upvote. Thanks!

Question regarding ethernet over USB-C
Hello, I have a question regarding the ethernet-over-USB-C stack within iOS/iPadOS. It seems that when manually assigning an IP on this interface within iOS, the IP is stored. Therefore, when disconnecting (the USB-C cable) and reconnecting to another device for a subsequent ethernet connection, the iOS device will always default to the previously assigned IP address (obviously, this isn't the case if the other end is a DHCP server). So, within the iPhone's Ethernet-over-USB-C driver, I was curious if iOS just keeps the assignment based on the MAC of the local USB-C interface, or is stored information tied to some other identifier? Is there a way to override this behavior? Thank you

How to disable auto restart on iOS 18
I have an iPhone 12 mini and I am currently using it as a modem for my router. Previously it was running iOS 14, but the DHCP on iOS 14 doesn't work and Apple didn't fix it until iOS 15. Recently I upgraded the system to iOS 18.4 to get DHCP back, but I got a bigger problem. The iPhone will restart itself after 3 days, and then I just lost internet connection. The hotspot will not be turned on until I climbed on my bookshelf to unlock my phone. After I googled it, I found that it is a feature that Apple introduced in iOS 18.1. While I couldn't find any setting to turn it off. If this cannot be controlled by the user, then it is anyway a BUG than a feature.

CoreLocation Limit?
Dear team, I am reaching out to inquire about potential daily usage limits for the CoreLocation geocoding services. While I understand that there is a known limit of approximately 50 requests per minute, I have received information suggesting there may also be a daily cap of 25,000 requests. Could you please confirm whether such a daily limit exists? Additionally, I would appreciate any recommendations you might have for increasing the allowable number of daily geocoding requests, if possible. Thank you in advance for your support.

Use as ringtone
Through IOS 26 public beta 5, the “use as ringtone” option will freeze the Music app, which must be closed and restarted. Is this capability supposed to apply to songs in Apple Music or only for MP3 WMA music files in the files app? If it is only applicable to music files and not Apple Music, then it should not appear as an option in the share menu of an apple song. I have a 15 pro.

MacBook Pro M1 - 15.5 Kernel Panic when waking from sleep
Hi, EtreCheck I could really use some help with this, as I haven’t been able to find much concrete info. I mistakenly updated my MacBook to the 15.5 beta, and while I can’t say with 100% certainty that the issues started immediately after, I’ve been experiencing consistent kernel panics every time the machine wakes from sleep — it restarts completely and throws an error. I’m really hoping this isn’t a hardware issue. The MacBook is just over two years old, and I rely on it daily for work — replacing it right now isn’t an option. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Time Machine backup to roll back to. I’ve already wiped the machine and reinstalled macOS via recovery mode, and Apple Diagnostics isn’t showing any hardware problems. Just to rule it out: I’m not using any external devices — no docks, Thunderbolt accessories, or anything else plugged in. I came across EtreCheck as a recommended tool, and I’ve included the results below. If anyone is able to help interpret them or point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it. I’ve since unenrolled from the beta and turned off automatic updates — I’m just hoping this is a beta-related bug that resolves with the next stable release. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

URGENT: Complete Data Loss After iPhone-to-iPhone iCloud Sync - Engineering Escalation Required
Dear Apple Engineering Team, I am experiencing catastrophic data loss affecting years of documents after a routine iPhone-to-iPhone iCloud synchronization. Standard Apple Support has been unable to resolve this issue, and I urgently need engineering-level assistance. INCIDENT SUMMARY: Date: August 9, 2025 Action: Synced iCloud from iPhone 16 to iPhone 12 mini Result: ALL files in iCloud Drive on Mac disappeared Data lost: Multiple years of documents including critical PDF files Support Case #: [Your case number if you have one] TECHNICAL DETAILS: Mac: MacBook Pro running macOS Sonoma 14.6.1 Source: iPhone 16 Destination: iPhone 12 mini iCloud account: [Your Apple ID] WHAT HAPPENED: Had fully populated iCloud Drive on Mac and iPhone 16 Signed into iCloud on iPhone 12 mini to sync data After sync completion, Mac's iCloud Drive became completely empty Desktop and Documents folders show in structure but contain no files iCloud.com shows empty folders "Recently Deleted" in iCloud.com is also empty ATTEMPTED RECOVERY: Checked ~/Library/Mobile Documents/ - only folder structure remains Verified with 'brctl dump' - shows folders but no documents Checked all trash locations - empty No Time Machine backup available Apple Support unable to recover server-side backups CRITICAL QUESTIONS: Does Apple maintain point-in-time snapshots of iCloud data that engineering can access? Can you check server logs for my Apple ID around August 9, 2025? Is there a known issue with iPhone 16 to iPhone 12 mini iCloud sync? Can you restore my iCloud Drive to its state before August 9, 2025? This appears to be a serious sync bug that caused newer device's empty state to overwrite existing data rather than merging. I have not touched the affected devices to preserve any forensic data. I urgently need someone from the iCloud engineering team to investigate server-side recovery options. This is years of irreplaceable personal and professional data. Please escalate this to the appropriate engineering team immediately. I am available 24/7 for any diagnostic information needed.

An idea for a photographic app
Hello, I created a particular ray tracing based photo/video capture app for iPhone (which causes me several headaches in finding the optimal configuration) that which often offers very soft and visually beautiful shots but is trapped in the usual oblivion of apps from unknown developers. While it is true that on the one hand the fact that almost no one downloads your app even if it is free can save you from several gaffes in the early days, in the long run it becomes depressing. So I thought of creating something that could be an incentive to try the app. Not having money to invest in prizes for contests or much more pragmatically in advertising, I thought of adding a function where you can see the best photos taken in your area and vote for them and, if you want, add a photo taken in the competition. Do you think it could be a nice idea? It's true that the problem itself is to overcome the wall of 0 downloads, where your app is neither successful nor unsuccessful because in fact nobody tries it, but without money for advertising I don't have many other ideas... Thanks

Getting error 'Can't Decode' when exporting a video file via AVAssetExportSession
I'm working on a video player app that has the basic functionality of viewing a video and then be able to trim and crop that video and then save it. My flow of trimming a video and then saving it works well with any and every video. Cropping, however, doesn't work in the sense that I am unable to Save the video and export it. Whenever I crop a video, in the video player, I can see the cropped version of the video (it plays too!) but on saving said video, I get the error: Export failed with status: 4, error: Cannot Decode I've been debugging for 2 days now but I'm still unsure as to why this happens. I'm almost certain the bug is somewhere cause of cropping and then saving/exporting. If anyone has dealt with this before, please let me know what the best step to do is! If you could help me refine the flow for cropping and exporting, that'd be really helpful too. Thanks!

Whenever I crop a video, in the video player, I can see the cropped version of the video (it plays too!) but on saving said video, I get the error: Export failed with status: 4, error: Cannot Decode I've been debugging for 2 days now but I'm still unsure as to why this happens. I'm almost certain the bug is somewhere cause of cropping and then saving/exporting. If anyone has dealt with this before, please let me know what the best step to do is! If you could help me refine the flow for cropping and exporting, that'd be really helpful too. Thanks!
