tvOS 26 rolls out the feature to set every AirPlay speaker as permanent in the settings.
Is there a possibility to setup eARC like with the HomePods for other devices connected to a TV or will this stay a HomePod only feature?

It works if Bluetooth is on for a long time, is there any problem?
I'm developing an app using beacon and Bluetooth, and I have to operate the app in the background, and after spending the weekend, I have to detect the beacon and revive the app. I can see that there is an app in the background, but the app is not coming back to life.
How can I solve this problem?
Or is the OS team working on something to block it?
The test model is Iphone16Plus.

Hello,
i just noticed that when i download an app through the App Store on my iPhone, the app i downloaded does not appear on my home screen or in the App Library.
is there any work around for me to make them appear at least in the App Library?
the only way to open or to place an app on my home screen I downloaded after upgrading to iOS 18.4 Beta 3 is to search for it in Spotlight or in the App Store.
Any apps I downloaded before upgrading to iOS 18.4 Beta 3 is still on my home screen or in the App Library.
i am currently running iOS 18.4 Beta 3 on an iPhone 16 Pro

I'm near my wit's end. My school district's developer application has been "pending" for nearly 4 months. Every time I call, which is every couple of weeks or so, I'm told the department reviewing the application cannot be contacted and that they will "escalate it." Apparently, this other department doesn't even have a phone number.
Does anyone have any idea why it would be taking this long? They have all our documentation. Absolutely zero communication unless I call.
PLEASE HELP!

Hello Devs,
I wanted to bring this up to display the frustration that I have obtaining the CarPlay entitlements. First and foremost they don't give you a set timeline and there is no contact number to speak to someone about this. When you call developer support they go on and say it is a different department. There is an email but all I have received is an automated response back to me.
Has anyone received the navigation entitlements and if so what was the timeline of you receiving it?
Is it normal to wait a month and a half with no resolution to an account issue?
I paid for a membership years ago and never used it. Recently, I've wanted to get a developer account again but there is a problem when I try to Enroll. It tells me "You cannot enroll at this time".
I created a support ticket and have been checking in every couple weeks. They just keep saying they haven't heard anything.
The lack of support is dissappointing.

Hello Apple Developers,
I am experiencing an issue where USB audio input (e.g., external USB microphone) is blocked when using AirPlay screen mirroring from my iPhone to a Mac or Apple TV. However, the built-in microphone continues to work without any problem.
Issue Details:
I am using an iPhone 15 (or latest device) running iOS [your iOS version].
I connect a USB audio interface/microphone via a USB-C adapter or Lightning adapter.
The USB microphone works perfectly for audio input before starting AirPlay.
The moment I enable AirPlay screen mirroring, the USB microphone stops working, and it disappears from available audio input sources.
The built-in microphone continues to function, but I cannot use the USB microphone while mirroring.
When I stop screen mirroring, the USB microphone immediately becomes available again.
Expected Behavior:
I would expect iOS to allow me to continue using an external USB microphone while mirroring my screen, just like it allows the built-in microphone to work.
Questions:
Is this an intentional restriction in iOS?
Is there any workaround to enable USB audio input while using AirPlay screen mirroring?
Is there a way to request a feature or configuration option to allow external USB microphones during AirPlay?
I appreciate any insights or guidance from the Apple team or fellow developers. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
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!

Hi Everyone,
I’m currently working on a flow where a web page redirects to our app to perform certain actions, and then returns the user back to the browser. However, on iOS, the only way to go back to the browser is by using the openURL method. The issue is that this method can only open the browser app itself—it can’t control which tab or page is shown, so the user doesn’t return to the original tab they came from. The same limitation also applies to Android.
Furthermore, iOS doesn’t allow an app to programmatically return to the previous app (in this case, the browser). While Android doesn’t have an official way either, in some cases, the OS automatically returns to the previous app when ours is closed.
I’d like to ask:
Is there any known method or workaround that allows returning from my app back to Safari (or the default browser) and restoring the previously active web page or tab?
Or, is there any way to programmatically return to the previous app from within my app?
Thanks in advance for your support!
before this post I posted this question in Apple Support Community. I do not know this is about some part of beta. but I need to know have some way to change them in beta.
My Macbook internal keyboard is ANSI Layout but in Keyboard setting input sources with beta is show the ISO layout.
so I need to type `(backtick) but it show "§" instead. how to change keyboard type ISO to ANSI ?
I found a glitch when you click on Phone and contacts the search bar is gone. You have to from the Home page click on contacts and the search bar is there.

This is my first problem and my first question hopefully somebody can help or give me some suggestions. I was in the developr beta of IOS 26 build(235260n) for a while I haven't updated it since the new beat has came out, beta 3. I have been trying to update requested, after about 20 seconds it goes away but does not start the download the update. The problem also begins to download something into the system beta goes from 22.85 GB to 33.78 GB. It just holds the update but doesn't;t update the phone. I have tried power cycling the device and everytime I do that it just resets the system data and allows up to try the update again. Unsure what to do and don't know if I would need to wait for the public beta for IOS26 to change anything on the device. Please let me know if you guys have any more suggestions what should be the next step. I also was unsure if I should backup the device and reinstall it to make sure that its not something with the conncetion.

Hello, our
account was closed months ago. I have made a great effort to get a response by filling out all the forms, especially Apple Turkey, but months have passed and I have not reached a conclusion.
We created a developer account and opened a developer account for our company with the help of duns. After opening the account, we published our application and suddenly our developer account was closed. Since our developer account was our main account, we could not fully control our application. We would like to know why the closed account was closed, how we can change our main account using our company information or how to open our closed account.
We really wasted a lot of time with developer support and turkey support team and got no help!
How can we solve this problem?
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.
