Delay in loading web pages in WebView after consent to tracking
Hi everyone, I have an app developed with React Native with Expo and it uses webViews to show HTML articles for a few days if I give consent to tracking the loading of the articles is very slow on the contrary without consent they load quickly, I tried to disable the javascripts that load the ads but the result is always the same. Can anyone help me?

iOS 26DEV Beta lacks feedback channel, and has been buggy for 4 weeks
From iOS 26Beta1, iOS 26Beta1.1 to iOS 26Beta2. I couldn't log in to the Feedback App for 4 weeks. It kept prompting BUGs and asked me to log in to Feedback. However, the problem was that I couldn't log in to Feedback. So the problem kept repeating. Apple didn't receive any feedback, so Apple thought this was the most successful version in the history of iOS because it didn't receive any feedback.

Glitching parts of screen since update to iOS 26 Developer Beta
As the title states, and it’s extremely frustrating. The floating bar that now appears above the keyboard is cool compared to the built in bar, though it seems to only work when it feels like it. Also the screen seems to have a haze around it, sometimes I cannot read whats needed because of it being blurred and it won’t allow me to navigate to certain things due to the haze being there too. Any way of rolling back my update and going back to my previous iOS?

SwiftUI vs Flutter for Embedding Unity in an iOS App?
I need help. Looking for devs who’ve integrated Unity into a native iOS app (Swift/SwiftUI) SwiftUI vs Flutter for Embedding Unity in an iOS App? I’m planning an iOS-first app where users interact with a real-time 3D custom avatar with 52 blendshapes powered by Unity, using SALSA LipSync + Emoter for facial animation. The avatar will respond to voice using Whisper → GPT-4 → ElevenLabs. My plan is to embed Unity only for the avatar screen, and build the rest of the app (chat, voice input, onboarding, etc.) natively? Here’s the decision I’m stuck on: Should I stick with SwiftUI, since it gives full access to iOS-native features like ARKit, audio routing, and StoreKit? I only plan to develop for iOS. Has anyone here integrated Unity with Flutter for mobile app successfully? Any pitfalls or major limitations I should know about before going that route? I haven’t started development yet — just want to make sure I choose the right foundation for performance, flexibility, and long-term growth. Any experience would be hugely appreciated!

iOS 26 Beta 2 replaces iOS 18.4 Backup
After too many boot loops and inability to boot up at all from system data bloating, I decided to restore the iPhone 16 Pro Max I’m beta testing on back to iOS 18.4 for a third time. Unfortunately, I found the iOS 26 beta 2 had made a iCloud backup last night, replacing my 18.4 backup. Is this something betas are supposed to do? I’ve been beta testing for around a decade now, I’ve never seen a iOS beta make an iCloud backup. Is anyone else noticing excessive system data bloating (70-100 GB or more)? Regardless, I’m in it for the long game now 😂

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.

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.

Keyboard becomes unresponsive after backgrounding app while iCloud Keychain “Save Password?” sheet is visible
Product & Version: iOS 17.5.1 (21F90) – reproducible since iOS 13 Test devices: iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 15, iPad (10th gen) Category: UIKit → Text Input / Keyboard Summary: If the system “Save Password?” prompt (shown by iCloud Keychain after a successful login) is onscreen and the user sends the app to background (Home gesture / App Switcher), the prompt is automatically dismissed. When the app returns to foreground, the keyboard does not appear, and text input is impossible in the entire app until it is force-quit. Steps to Reproduce: Run any app from AppStore that shows "Save Password" alert. Enter any credentials and tap Login, iOS shows the system “Save Password?” alert. Without interacting with the alert, swipe up to the Home screen (or open the App Switcher). Reactivate the app. Tap the text field in the app.

Is this an ios 26 beta bug?
After updating my iPhone to iOS 26 beta, images displayed inside an in-app WebView (WKWebView) suddenly look almost black, as if a black overlay were sitting on top of them. The same image files are delivered from the server without any problems. I inspected the DOM and CSS in Safari’s remote debugger and confirmed that no extra overlay element or dark background layer is being injected. The effect only appears inside the WebView on iOS 26 beta; the same page renders correctly on earlier iOS versions and on desktop browsers. I would like to understand what change in iOS 26 beta could be causing this darkening effect.

[macOS 26.0 Beta] "Keyboard" settings panel UI is clipped and cannot access upper options
I’ve encountered a consistent UI rendering issue in the macOS 26.0 (25A5295e) beta on my MacBook Pro 14-inch (2021) with Apple M1 Max, 64GB RAM. When opening System Settings > Keyboard > Japanese Input Method settings, the settings pane is visually clipped and scroll behavior is broken. The upper section (including checkboxes like “Windows-style key behavior”) becomes partially hidden. Although I can scroll momentarily to reveal the top, the view quickly snaps back, preventing any interaction with those upper settings. Steps to Reproduce: Open System Settings. Go to “Keyboard” and scroll down to Japanese input settings. Observe that the top section is cut off and cannot be interacted with. Attempting to resize the window or enable full-screen mode does not resolve the issue. Environment: Model: MacBook Pro 14" (2021) Chip: Apple M1 Max, 10-core CPU, 32-core GPU Memory: 64 GB Storage: 2 TB SSD Model ID: MacBookPro18,4 (A2442 / Z15H0013CJ/A) OS Version: macOS 26.0 Beta (25A5295e) Firmware: 13822.0.166.0.1 Additional Notes: Display scaling adjustments do not help. The issue affects both Japanese and English UI modes. This bug has been reported by other users on macOS 26.0 and iOS 26 beta as well, suggesting a regression in how SwiftUI handles view layout constraints in this pane. It would be appreciated if the UI could be fixed to allow proper access to all input method settings, possibly by enforcing proper scroll containment or minimum height for the pane. Thank you.

ITMS-91061: Missing privacy manifest
Hi all, Im trying tu publish an app for iOS and I get it rejected by the lack of this privacy manifest, but unless I understood this wrong, this manifest is needed for external tools used, or maybe Im wrong, Im publishing an app made in Unity, so in this case, one has to include a privacy manifest by default? Sorry Im lost in all these terms, so I don't know if im asking something redundant, if you know how to fix this issue please tell me or direct me to the process because I haven't been able to identify the issue. Thanks a lot for any clue beforehand really

Persistent Remote Access or Network Manipulation? Technical Findings and Questionsh
Hi all, I’m not a developer, but I’m hoping someone with iOS system or network experience can help me understand some very persistent and unusual behavior on my iPhone. I’ve gathered system logs and app-level diagnostics and would really appreciate insight from anyone familiar with daemons, VPN tunnels, or MDM behavior on Apple platforms. Summary of Issues Over Time March 2025: Most apps begin logging out automatically when closed April 2025: Passwords across apps and browsers begin failing May–June 2025: Gmail password reset emails stop arriving (even though other email works) These symptoms suggest something affecting secure sessions, DNS routing, or background data handling. I began running diagnostics and found unexpected system and network behaviors: Examples: com.apple.mobile.lockdown.remote.trusted file_relay.shim.remote pcapd.shim.remote webinspector.shim.remote bluetooth.BTPacketLogger.shim.remote On a normal, non-jailbroken device, I wouldn't expect so many .shim.remote or .diagnostic services to be active. Is this expected on iOS 18.5? The binary /usr/sbin/scutil appears to be missing. This breaks commands like: scutil --dns scutil --proxy scutil --nc list On a standard iOS device, is it even possible for scutil to be removed or disabled? App Behavior and Config Locking (Cloudflare WARP Log) From the logs of the Cloudflare WARP app (not enterprise-managed): The app repeatedly forces VPN tunnels to reconnect or restart by injecting dummy URLs (force OS to restart the network extension process). It tries to load policy configuration from MDM and Teams APIs (even though no MDM appears in Settings). Many config items are marked as: locked: true, visible: true including: DNS logs Fallback DNS Trusted WiFi settings The account is labeled as: WarpAccountRole.child which may explain some restrictions — but I’ve never set this manually. This seems more advanced than what the standard WARP app does. Could a provisioning profile or side-loaded config be applying these? Key Questions for the Community Are ~50 remote diagnostic services (.shim.remote) normal on iOS 18.5 stock devices? Could a VPN app (e.g. WARP) or hidden config enforce flow-switching across interfaces like ipsec, awdl, and pdp_ip, even when not visibly active? Can a provisioning profile or managed config enable services like file_relay, pcapd, or webinspector silently — without any visible MDM profile? Has anyone seen scutil or other network tools missing on a stock iPhone? What could cause this? Does WARP in MASQUE mode normally lock DNS settings and force tunnel restarts — or could this indicate tampering? If anyone on iOS 18.5 / iPhone17,1 can share their remotectl_dumpstate output, I'd love to compare. Happy to share sanitized logs or run more tests if helpful. Thank you for any insights — especially from those familiar with internal services, VPN frameworks, or supervised profiles. get-network-info.txt remotectl_dumpstate.txt assetsd.diskwrites_resource-2025-06-25-221428.json More network info.txt linkText](https://www.example.com/)

Ongoing Suspicious Remote and Network Access Behavior — Seeking Technical Insight
O v er 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. ##1 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 — which could indicate system-level tunneling. 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) 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 linkText
