We have noticed that iPhones using iOS17.x are not contributing to Apple's FindMy network anymore. These devices usually send report packages to Apple's server about devices they "see" around them (BLE). The problem / bug is HARD to find, because there are still lots of iPhones with iOS16.x out. But more and more of them get switched off or updated: the FindMy network getting weaker and weaker every day! Here is how to recreate the issue: This procedure needs to be done in a "remote" environment, no other Apple iPhones or iPads being in bluetooth distance! Get an iPhone with iOS16.x installed, enable bluetooth, ensure internet access. Get an AirTag registered to someone else, she / he being away at least 200 m (the AirTag must be in "lost" mode). She / he watching his phone (FindMy) having internet. Get an iPhone with iOS17.x installed, disable bluetooth, ensure internet access. Put both phones right beside the friends AirTag. Let your friend WhatsApp you whenever the status of his AirTag gets updated. This will happen every couple of minutes. Turn off bluetooth on iOS16, turn on bluetooth on iOS17. You will no longer get messages from your friend because the status of his AirTag will not update. For hours. For days. Until you enable bluetooth on your iOS16 phone again. Conclusion: iOS17.x don't not send report packages at all or report packages from iOS17.x devices are not stored correctly on server or server does not send out reports originating from iOS17.x when requested by FindMy app If you can recreate this SERIOUS problem, PLEASE file a bug report to Apple. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

I have just created my developer account and paid for 1 year subscription. I do have a programmer who will create an app for me. How can I give him access to my developer account? I don't want to give him full access to my apple account (of course!). Please advise.

I do have a python script which I am using locally in terminal, works great. Since it is using Apple specific stuff, I have to use my Mac to run it, it does not work on Unix or Windows machines. Now I need to run the script from remote (my webserver) and parse / save the output of it. I have thought to activate Apache and PHP on my Mac, but I don't want to give access to everyone either, so this is maybe not the best. Does anyone have an idea how to do this? Any hint is appreciated!
