Innovative mind with creative cutting edge vision and not enough tech experience
Hello! My name is Brittany! I’m a designer/artist. I am curious about what I should do.. I have all these ideas for developing things in the Apple Vision Pro world. But I have little to no experience with that stuff. I def need an outlet for my creative cutting edge ideas. Is this stuff easy to learn or am I better off working with someone to create my vision? How much would that even cost? Thank you kindly for any assistance💖

Photo Markup Function?
Okay… help me out, I’m behind on the times. Upgraded to the 26 beta from … honestly I think I was still using 16-something? And I’m wondering where the photo markup feature went? To be clear, I’m referring to the ability to write on a photo or screenshot from the Photos app by clicking “Edit”, then “Markup”. Is it gone or am I overlooking it? And do forgive me if this feature has been gone for a while already—as I mentioned, it’s been a while since I bothered with an iOS update. (So far, I definitely liked the version I was on previously much more!)

App Store Server Notification implementation in multiple environments
Hey everyone, We're looking for the best way to handle App Store Server Notifications in our development setup and would appreciate some guidance. Our Setup: We use a single App Store Connect account for development, which supports multiple environments (e.g., staging1, staging2). Our production app lives in a separate account, so that's not an issue. The Challenge: We have only one configurable sandbox notification URL. This makes it difficult to route notifications to the correct development server (staging1 vs. staging2 vs development) when a sandbox event occurs. We're considering using a proxy server to catch all notifications and then forward them to the appropriate environment. However, we're not sure how to determine the correct destination. Our Questions: What's the recommended approach for managing a single sandbox notification URL across multiple development environments? If a proxy is the best method, which parameter in the responseBodyV2 payload should we use to route the notification? How can we differentiate between our various dev environments? Is it possible to add custom properties to the App Store Server Notification V2 body to facilitate routing? Any advice or best practices you've implemented would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

iOS 26 Beta 3 In App Purchase bug
So here is my issue regarding iOS 26 Beta 3. I was playing a game called BangBang Survivor, while inside the game there is an option to make the game ad free with a monthly subscription. Somehow i found that it doesnt work anymore on Beta 3. When I clicked renew subcription, it shows “This Purchase has already been bought. It will restored for free” and I found that buying diamonds actually working, except those ad free subscription was not working. I contacted game dev for this issue, they cant seems to solve anything and asked me to contact Apple Support. But Apple Support doesnt solve the issue as well and asked me to contact the game dev. I guess i will need to wait for next update to see whether this issue will finally solve or not.

How to generate test Driver's License in Wallet?
Hello, I'm interested in testing the Digital Credentials API in Safari on iOS, but am not sure if there's a way to create a test Driver's License in the Wallet on a real device or Simulator? Unfortunately the state I live in does not have mobile ids set up yet with Apple so can't use my own driver's license. Any help would be much appreciated!

Apple TV 4k 3rd Gen recovery failures
Hello there I have got into a bit of an issue with the Apple TV 4k 3rd Gen with Ethernet . So I installed the iOS 26 beta to try out the new changes I usually do this on Apple TVs but in this case it has a bug where my apple music randomly skipped to the next songs . So after some bit of reading I got to know that the apple TV as a recovery mode which could be accessed by pressing home and pause/play buttons . After getting there I was required to bring an iPhone close to start the recovery process which I did but somehow that process always failed I tried to plug in the Ethernet cable since my apple TV is literally 3-5 inches away from my main router I even tried the recommended option of switching to a 2.4ghz connection but nothing worked . I would think that by apple getting rid of the USB ports on these things they had a reliable method of recovery in case of error because these are computers they are bound to fail at some point . So for now am stuck with a boot looping apple TV without a port and I don't even know how that too came about since the recovery process barely starts and fails. Ps am in Africa where we have no apple stores so we usually deal with our products ourselves

The new framework AlarmKit is useless
what else can you do with it except for getting the alarm run off? and the alarm even gets dismissed when the user presses any buttons on device even volume buttons. I hope it's better by the time when iOS26 is officially released but I can't prepare for the new iOS update with this useless new framework. does anybody know what new features in this framework are coming up?

New Finder window always on the wrong display
In my setup, the largest external display is Primary, and that's where I do most of my work. The other two external monitors are smaller, and far enough away that I can't use them for viewing text. However, when I open a new Finder window (e.g. cmd-N), it often opens on one of the non-Primary displays, which means I need to drag it to the Primary. What is the algorithm used by the Finder to decide where new windows are placed? I would like to specify that all new Finder windows should open on the Primary display.

iOS 26 lets you swipe to delete history
Hello. I’m on iOS 26. I’m very protective over my children’s phone and use screen time religiously. ios 26 does have delete history grayed out , but there’s a glitch! You’re able to swipe and delete history under the bookmarks history and tabs section. Also if you type in a website like Walmart, it will bring it up and then allow you to swipe to the left and hit the red delete history and it shows up nowhere in your history! please help me find a fix for this!! i do allow safari but definitely want to be able to check the websites being viewed!!! also - iOS 26 does not let u block apple.comunder your not allowed websites. Which means they can now use Apple Maps and third party browser on Apple.com for example under the simple weather app before I had Apple blocked to where none of this could be accessed through stock apple apps! i appreciate any help!!!

Is smaller sample data OK to use?
Hi there! I was planning on using a data set of summer college programs for my swift app submission and I'm currently working to get the best data possible, but its proving rather difficult. I was wondering if its acceptable to use mock data or just a smaller set of around 150 entries if i cant get a large enough quality data set in time. Also, i figure it is, but im not sure if its acceptable to use a python web scraper even though its a swift challenge. Thanks!

Way to get support for physical damage with Vision Pro if you are in beta version of the software.
For a few weeks now, I've been seeing a halo on the top of the left lens. The lens is perfectly clean and unscratched, so I think it's internal condensation. It looks like an oily fingerprint on the internal part of the lens. Two days ago, I made an appointment with an Apple Genius, and I went today. They aren't allowed to perform a physically test on the device; the only thing they could do was run diagnostic software to send it in for service. I'm on the VisionOS 26 dev beta: the diagnostic tool doesn't work with the beta. Furthermore, my ticket was flagged as 'resolved' even though it isn't, so I have no way to receive an additional solution. Result? After an hour, I still haven't solved anything, after spending £3,500 on the device and £500 on Apple Care Plus. What should I do?

Ghost entry remains in “Allow in Menu Bar” after app deletion — macOS Tahoe beta
I’m experiencing an issue on macOS Tahoe (Developer Beta, July 2025) related to the new “Allow in Menu Bar” section in System Settings. After uninstalling the application Backdrop (developer: Cindori), the entry com.cindori.Backdrop.Wallpaper still appears in the list of apps allowed to show in the menu bar, even though: — The app and all its associated files have been fully deleted. — The LaunchAgents files in ~/Library/LaunchAgents and /Library/LaunchAgents have been removed. — Preferences have been deleted via defaults delete com.cindori.Backdrop and defaults delete com.cindori.Backdrop.Wallpaper. — The system has been restarted. It seems the “Allow in Menu Bar” section keeps phantom references to apps or agents even after complete cleanup. Could you please confirm if this is expected behavior (perhaps for future reactivation) or a bug? Is there any official method or recommended command to permanently remove such residual entries from this list? Thank you very much for your help and clarifications.
