I am looking for other peple who have the same idea.

After replacing Big Sur OSX 11.0 with the latest 11.5, my app's AXObserverAddNotification methods fails. Here is sample code I tested from StackOverflow: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/853833/how-can-my-app-detect-a-change-to-another-apps-window AXUIElementRef app = AXUIElementCreateApplication(82695); // the pid for front-running Xcode 12.5.1 CFTypeRef frontWindow = NULL; AXError err = AXUIElementCopyAttributeValue( app, kAXFocusedWindowAttribute, &frontWindow );     if ( err != kAXErrorSuccess ){         NSLog(@"failed with error: %i",err);     } NSLog(@"app: %@  frontWindow: %@",app,frontWindow); 'frontWindow' reference is never created and I get the error number -25204. It seems like the latest Big Sur 11.5 has revised the Accessibility API or perhaps there is some permission switch I am unaware of that would make things work. What am I doing wrong?

I’ve noticed that the VoiceOver reads currency amounts correctly when they are below thousand. Then, for higher amounts, for example 12.225,34 € VoiceOver reads ‘twelve point two two five thirty four euros’ If the amount is formatted without the thousand separator (12225,34 €) this problem doesn’t exist. (VO reads twelve thousand two hundred and twenty five euros and thirty four cents) Why is the thousand separator a problem for VoiceOver if this formatting is coming from the currency and locale? This issue exists in English. I changed my device language to Italian and German and in both cases the number was read correctly even with the separator. Is there a way to make it work in English?

I'm currently testing the announce notifications feature and I can't seem to find out how to make Siri read aloud the current currency instead of dollars. My locale is es-CL (Chile). It uses the currency symbol $ and reads as Pesos locally or Chilean Pesos where the number 5000.1 is represented as 5.000,1 This is the notification content         let content = UNMutableNotificationContent()         content.body = "¡Has recibido un pago por $5.000!" Siri reads it aloud as "¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 Dolares!" which translates to "You have received a payment for 5,000 Dollars", instead of the expected "¡Has recibido un pago por 5.000 Pesos!" -> "You have received a payment for 5,000 Pesos" I've tried changing the development region of the app, interpolating the string with NumberFormatter.localizedString(from: 5000, number: .currency), and with others styles( .currencyAccounting, .currencyISOCode and .currencyPlural) without good results. The last one seems to work buts it's not ideal since it outputs "5.000 pesos chilenos" which gets read as "5 pesos chilenos" which is not the correct amount (bug), it's as is you're not on Chile and I personally prefer it to be a symbol instead of words. I'm testing with my device which is setup with the region "Chile" Could someone help me find a solution?

I'm using Xcode 15.2 and have migrated my (macOS) project to use an xcstrings file a while back. Now when I check the xcstrings file, all items are marked as "stale". When I add new localized strings in code, they don't show up in the xcstrings file. The xcstrings file is built correctly (into .lproj/Localizable.strings) when building. Where can I check which source files are checked to update xcstrings status? "xcstringstool" appears to have a "sync" feature which reads "stringsdata" files, but there is no information in the xcstringstool help on where the stringsdata files come from. If I create a new project I can see a "stringsdata" file being generated for each source file in the intermediate build products folder.

We currently have an odd issue with VoiceOver spelling a word letter by letter while the same word is spoken as a whole for other items. The app is in German. I have a View in SwiftUI whose button traits are removed, then a label "Start Tab 1 von 5" is added. "Tab is spoken as a whole word here, all fine. If I change the label to "Tab-Schaltfläche" or for example "SimplyGo Tab 3 von 5", then "Tab" is spoken as "T A B", letter by letter. is there a way to force VoiceOver to speak it as a whole?

Question: Hi everyone, I'm developing a Vision Pro app using the latest visionOS 2, and I've encountered some issues with the new hand gestures introduced in this update. My app is designed to display a UI element when a user's palm is detected. However, the new hand gestures for navigating key functions like Home View, Control Center, and adjusting the volume are interfering with my app's functionality. What I'm Trying to Achieve Detect when a user's palm is open and display a UI element. Ensure that my app's custom hand gestures are not disturbed by the new default gestures in visionOS 2. Problem The new hand gestures in visionOS 2 (such as those for Home View, Control Center, and volume adjustment) are activating while my app is open, causing disruptions to my app's functionality. I want to disable these system-level gestures when my app is running.

I tried to activate FaceTime and iMessage on my iPhone 15 Pro after update to iOS 18. But i could not activate it to my service provider phone number and its activated to my iCloud mail id. Also tried everything mention on Apple Support page. No luck yet. I contact my service provider too. They asked to clerify from Apple.

After double tapping a text space. Allow to press and hold “Paste” to ase a pop up list of the last 5 text copies you’ve made. While still keeping the one “Paste” touch to the most recent. This we help when we accidentally copied or cut different text before pasting what we were saving to paste later.

Just installed iOS 18 Beta 3. I am seeing my AccessibilityUIServer using the microphone and this is causing no notification sounds, inability to use Siri by voice and volume is grayed out. If I start to play anything with sound AccessibilityUIServer releases the microphone and I am able to use the app. Calls still work since AccessibilityUIServer will release and the phone will ring. Feed back ID is FB14241838.

A lot of apps use undocumented App-prefs URLs to help users get to the iOS Settings screen needed to set up the app. In iOS 18, it seems like these all stopped working. Here are the ones I currently use: App-prefs:MESSAGES - broken in iOS 18 Used for SMS Protection. App-prefs:Phone - broken in iOS 18 Used for Live Voicemail, Silence Unknown Callers, and SMS Reporting. Some but not most paths have specific documented replacements. E.g. for Call Blocking & Identification you can use CXCallDirectoryManager.sharedInstance.openSettings() and this still works in iOS 18. But I don't see any other direct replacements. Apple probably doesn't consider this a bug but I filed FB14378568 anyway. I consider this an accessibility issue because many older, inexperienced, or users with disabilities have trouble finding the right Settings screen based on a textual description alone.

Apple TV + Apple official 'https://apps.apple.com/tw/app/id1174078549 ' is normal operation same as iOS 17

Throughout the IOS 18 update feature, my iPhone has been working extraordinary well and there seems to be no issues with the update for the latest gen iPhones/apple products. The only issue I’ve experienced these few months include the torch feature. after the IOS 18 Beta Version 3 dropped, my iPhone seems to have problems when it comes to turning the torch on. It mostly bugs out, like when i turn the torch on, it turns on for a split second and immediatly turns off again. It seems as though now my IPhone 14 Pro Max is unable to run the torch feature. Even after the Version 4 of Beta IOS 18, my iPhone is still unable to run the flashlight and it does the same thing since the last version for now.

Device is an iPhone 15 pro max, running ios 18 public beta 1. today my wife sent two screenshots and they both appeared as blank little bubbles (image attached), which my wife then also said she was unable to see images from me. I checked with a friend by sending him a picture, and we were both able to send and receive images to each other no problem. Just wanting to bring this to attention as seemed like an odd situation. I suppose I may need to restore my iPhone, unsure when it was last backed up before a beta though 😅 otherwise may just wait it out

How do I turn off iPhone mirroring on my mac?

Issue with brightness post IOS 18 Beta 4 update. When phone is locked and when you unlock it, brightness remains low and it takes 4-5 seconds or sometime more to get to normal.

Hello everyone, I own a MacBook Air M1, have installed beta 2, since then the memory of the disc is full after logging in. Unfortunately, I can't update to the current beta 4 because it takes too long to download and install. What is the best way to solve the problem? Can something be switched off so that the volume does not fill up completely? Please let me know if you have any questions, thank you in advance for your help. Best regards and have a nice day.

As disabled man, I find it how to use my iPhone on the Mac. The reason pain is that you have to use a physical keyboard to type messages on your phone. I would like a way where you get over in a grade at the accessible keyboard could do the typing or you could get the iPhone keyboard to pop up whilst mirroring to the computer. I would really like to see this in the next update so we are disabled community can use the iPhone Mirroring to its fullest potential.

Hello, I would like to make it possible for keyboard-only users to select the next and previous month buttons in a UIDatePicker, to prevent confusion due to having interactive images in my app which are not interactable with a keyboard. The official documentation only says that the UIDatePicker component is accessible by default, and does not offer information on how to customize the keyboard navigation. Is this possible?
