Companion app can't be installed on iPhone for some users who have installed the watchOS only version app
Hello! I'm facing the following Appstore issue. There was an watchOS only app, without a companion app. In current 1.6 version the app has a companion app and it can be properly installed by new users from their iPhones or watches. Unfortunately, all old users, who have installed the app from their watches don't see a way to install the app from the Appstore (they can download the latest watchOS version though). Many things have been tried - uninstalling, installing on the watch. Looking for a purchase, removing subscription, but without luck. The Appstore shows "purchased" button instead "Get" or the cloud icon. Is this a bug in the Appstore or there is a way to recover from this edge case. Thanks, Emil

eSim issue after install of Public Beta iOS 17
After installing the beta I keep getting an error saying Network Lost Your selected cellular network for "Work" is no longer available. You can choose a different network in Settings. The eSim is a second line I use for work I can still go into the eSim and see it is selecting vodafone UK and it doesn't seem to stop me receiving/making calls from that esim number but the message pops up every 5/10 seconds - really annoying

Code USSD more 50 characters??
Dear Developers, I hope you are well. I am contacting you because of a specific need that I have found in my iOS application. Currently, I am developing an application that involves executing USSD codes on the mobile phone network. However, I have run into a limitation on executing USSD codes that exceed 50 characters on iOS. The USSD codes that I need to execute are longer than this constraint and therefore I am facing difficulties in providing the necessary functionality in my application. My goal is to allow users to enter variable length USSD codes, which is essential to the user experience I'm looking to provide. Currently, I am using the UIApplication.shared.open(url) function to open the phone application and allow users to manually confirm the execution of the USSD code. I would like to know if there is any method or approach I can use to allow execution of USSD codes longer than 50 characters in iOS, as this is essential for the purpose of my application. I would greatly appreciate your guidance and assistance in this matter. I thank you in advance for your time and consideration. I am looking forward to receiving your response. Sincerely, [Marlon Milanes Rivero]

Xcode 14.3.1: The device “X iPhone” is not available because it is not executable
I'm trying to use my personal iPhone to debug an app but Xcode is not accepting my iPhone. I already used it before so I enabled the Developer mode successfully and it was working. Currently, Xcode successfully gathers my iPhone's data for development but after that process an error occurs saying: "The device “X iPhone” is not available because it is not executable. Please ensure that the device is attached and that it is ready to be connected to Xcode." My iPhone is using iOS 16.6 and the Xcode is v14.3.1. The iOS 16.4 SDK provides support to develop apps for iPhone running iOS 16.6 and the SDK comes bundled with Xcode 14.3. I really don't known how to solve the issue. I already restarted my MacBook, restarted Xcode, restarted my iPhone, re-enabled the Developer mode, I unpaired my iPhone with Xcode and re-paired it, changed USB cable. Nothing worked.

Touch malfunction on iOS17 Public Beta 4
I am using iPhoneSE (2020) and, updated to iOS17 Public Beta 4. But I found some critical error that screen touch not working randomly. All other buttons works fine. Home Button works fine, and even Touch ID works. Volume Up/Down, Haptic, Screen Lock Button also works fine. Only Screen Touch doesn’t work. Only way to fix malfunction, is to Force Reboot device. Then It works well. However, I don’t know when it will malfunction, and It occurs about 7-10 times a day. It never happened when I use Public Beta 3. Of course, as I am using Beta Software, some things could malfunction, but I think it is too critical. I have to reboot my device without any saving. Any other Beta users having same issues? I want to know if it is general issue, or it is just my phone problem. Thank you

Assistive touch crash
While using an HID device that recognized as mouse and keyboard using assistive touch, I noticed that sometimes after some usage, the feature in "AssistiveTouch" menu called, "Perform Touch Gestures", is no longer working although it remains on, as well as the assistive touch that remains on. In order to make it work again, you need to turn off and on the assistive touch feature. What could cause this issue? Does it relate to the HID Descriptor of report map? Or am I sending some commands that can cause this crash? Is there any way to avoid/be aware/get some callback on when this feature crashes using swift?

Iphone 14 plus signal drops + won't come back
Hello, my son's iphone 14 plus has an infuriating problem. He has a physical sim card for a Belgian carrier. When he enters Belgium his signal nornally works but then if it drops for whatever reason (in a train, car, cellar) it doesn't come back. We have to remove the sim, put it in another phone and then put it back in the iphone. Is this a known issue? Does anyone have any smart fixes? (we have tried network resets and the sim works on other phones, including my old android brick)

"PosterBoard quit unexpectedly." warning in my Mac running macOS 13.4.1(c)
I don't see any current posts about the warning that says "PosterBoard quit unexpectedly." on my Mac. Older posts say this is an error generated by Xcode Simulator. I tried one of those solutions but I still see this warning coming up. I am also not using Simulator. I'm using an actual device - an iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 16.6. When I click on Reopen in that alert box telling me that warning message, I get a warning in an alert box with a picture of the Finder icon on it, and it says "You can’t open the application “PosterBoard.app” because this application is not supported on this Mac.". Anyone else have this problem and know what do do about it? Like fix it or get around it?

IPhone 14 Battery Health Declining Faster than Expected
I got this iPhone 14 in Product Red, 128 GB in February 2023, the same year I'm posting this. I've mainly used it for taking photos and calling my partner, with less than 8 apps and around 1,000 photos stored. I always use the original cable for charging and don't play games in the phone (TBH, I don't have any games in this phone) that could harm the battery. However, the battery health has dropped to 93%, which is lower than expected for just 6 months of use. While some may argue that this figure is still quite acceptable, it falls short of what I anticipated for a new device with only six months of usage. I can draw a comparison with my previous phone, my previous phone, an iPhone SE 2021, endured heavy gaming for 12 hours a day and didn't have such a battery drop in the same timeframe. I'm genuinely curious if there's an issue with this new phone, even though I follow charging best practices by not going above 80% or below 20%.

How to install homemade IPA app on iPhone
I built a few homemade iOS Web Apps that I built with Xcode. I somehow was able to get them on my old iPhone 13. They are in IPA format. I upgraded to a 14 and need help reinstalling them. I've tried using Apple Configurator as well as just dragging them through the finder, but keep getting the following error: "This app cannot be installed because its integrity could not be verified." I tried going into the Device management to trust the profile, but no profiles are shown. Like I said, I had them on there before. I just don't know how I did it. Please be specific and detailed with your instructions. This project was me experimenting to see if becoming a developer is in my future. Clearly I'm not meant for this. Thanks in advance.
