Hey, I’m an iPhone user of nearly 4 months, and recently, I found out about the iOS 18 developer version. I wanted to try it, so I bought an iCloud subscription and backed up my phone. I downloaded the update overnight through the settings app, and when I woke, it prompted me to restart or along those lines, to which it showed the apple logo and a progress bar as per usual. I didn’t even notice a difference between 17 and 18 until I swiped down to get to the control panel, and instantly, I wanted to switch back. I could no longer see features like my over $300 AirPod’s volume decibel amount; something I use on a regular basis to make sure I’m not developing hearing loss. So, when I got home from school later that day, I looked at the official Apple guide to downgrading to a previous iCloud version. Following the featured steps, I factory reset the iPhone through the General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase all content and settings. I made sure to skip the automatic backup this process created. Then, after it was finished resetting, I followed the standard iPhone setup process until it asked me if I had a backup. I clicked it, signed in with my Apple ID, then clicked “Show All Versions” (as to not backup with an iPhone 18 beta backup) and clicked on my backup from the night prior. Then, it went to the black screen with the Apple logo and a progress bar again, and a few minutes later, the phone booted up. It all seemed normal, up until I saw the iOS 18 control center. I did this whole process again just to make sure I didn’t accidentally mess the procedure up, but I got the same result. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance, Gray (posting this here because usual apple forums remove anything mentioning developer things)

Unlike Xcode 15 where it's easy in source control to type in a commit message and then do the actual commit in git, in Xcode 16 there doesn't seem to be anywhere to do this. Yes, in the beta I can do a menu select to go to 'commit changes...', and I found the new way to stage changes. So far so good. But where is the 'commit' button to complete a commit? Is anyone else finding this an issue?

Last year I remember Apple providing a Device Support download that would allow running macOS 14 in a VM on macOS 13 without needing to install the whole Xcode beta. Is Apple planning on releasing a similar download this year to allow running a macOS 15 VM on macOS 14 without installing the Xcode beta?

The screen that displays wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode and other features. When I tried to add translate as a shortcut, it duplicated and won’t leave the screen. I have a screen shot and screen recording that I would like to add but am not sure how. I tried adding the picture and it has added this link. Any ideas how to get rid of these ghost images of shortcuts?

Have seen so many posts about the green screen problem, no solution found yet and Apple is charging us a dime. Apple wake up or else ur losing a very old customer.

Apple mentions that they are willing to support developers on various platforms. One of them is VS Code. I just wonder if Apple tries to give official support for Xcode project files like the extension below. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=mariomatheu.syntax-project-pbxproj We can download and use this extension, yes but I just wonder if Apple considers to publish any extension like above on VSCode marketplace officially?

Xcode13.4.1 is running properly, but after upgrading Xcode14, the debugging device reports an error: Library not loaded: / usr/lib/swift/libswiftCoreGraphics dylib, I according to the online solutions are tried, can't solve my problem, problem is ios10.3.3 equipment, unable to debug, also is unable to start the application success after packaging, Is this a problem with xcode14 itself?

Is there any official way to download IPSW files for older versions of macOS like macOS 13 for use with a VM app like Parallels or UTM?

I am reaching out to inquire if there is an available API that allows us to retrieve warranty details for Apple devices. Specifically, I'm looking for an automated method to access information such as warranty status, expiration date, and any coverage details associated with our Apple products. Could you please provide information on whether such an API exists? If it does, I would appreciate guidance on how we can access and use it. Any documentation or reference materials you can share would be highly beneficial. Thanks, Abhijith

Hi, I'm unable to add the 3rd build of my TestFlight app to any external testing group (but I can for an internal testing group). The 2nd build was successfully added to an external testing group, the 3rd build has the status "Ready to test", and I've expired all other builds. I've also completed the "What to test" section in English (U.K) and English (U.S). Any idea what I might be doing wrong? Thanks!

Has anyone tried to install macOS 15 (24A5264n) from the downloaded restore image with the sample project RunningMacOSInAVirtualMachineOnAppleSilicon on the latest macOS 14.5? I am getting a strange error Fatal error: A software update is required to complete the installation. Installation requires a software update. System also shows this dialogue But when I click install it says that the software is not currently available from the Software Update server. I'm trying with the latest public Xcode 15.4 on an M3 Mac.

Tried to watch on Apple TV. Nowhere to be found. Only WWDC23. Uninstalled/reinstalled the app. WWDC24 keynote appears, but launching it crashes the app. Every time. Why does the developer app suck?

When making a disk image for software distribution, it used to be possible to make a Finder window automatically open when the disk image is mounted, using a command like sudo bless --folder dirPath --openfolder dirPath on a read-write disk image. However, as of Ventura, attempting to do so produces an error message bless: The 'openfolder' option is deprecated and the command fails to do what I want. Disk images that were set up this way in years past continue to work. I suppose I could duplicate a working writable disk image, remove the old contents and put in new contents, but that seems a little hacky. Is there an alternative?

Looks like the Weather Kit API is down again. Anybody having the same issue?

In Xcode 15 beta 6, building any Mac Catalyst project will encounter the following Linker warning. ld: warning: building for 'macCatalyst', but linking in dylib (/Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Cocoa.framework/Versions/A/Cocoa.tbd) built for 'macOS'

Tested on: iPhone11+iOS16.5/iPhoneXS+iOS15.4. Compile with: XCode12/13/14. I tried following code, compile with arch=arm64e only, and result in crash "EXC_BAD_ACCESS". at "LDRAA" std::cout << ""; The crash will not be triggered if: compile with arch=arm64 only compile with arch=arm64e only and tested on iOS<=14 not use any c++ I/O api

Assuming I have a static library where all global symbols need to be re-exported by the target executable. How do I extract these symbols into a file to be used with ld's -exported_symbols_list and Xcode's EXPORTED_SYMBOLS_FILE? I was thinking about nm -gUjo … + sed but maybe there is abetter way?
