Xcode16打包运行在iOS18系统上,searchbar 在系统键盘输入中文时,textDidChange代理方法表现异常问题
Xcode16打包运行在iOS18系统上,当输入中文时,- (void)searchBar:(UISearchBar *)searchBar textDidChange:(NSString *)searchText; 这个代理方法,输入中文时,每次按下拼音 就会触发。 Xcode16打包在非iOS18系统上不会这样,Xcode15打包,在iOS18+和iOS18-系统上也都不会这样,只有Xcode16+iOS18 会这样

WhatsApp Crashing
I’m facing a persistent issue where WhatsApp crashes within a few seconds of opening. This started around 5–6 days ago. It was working perfectly for over a year before that. Device and App Details: • iPhone model: iPhone 15 Pro Max] • iOS version: iOS 18.4 • WhatsApp version: 25.10.72 • Available storage: 108 GB free out of 256 GB • WhatsApp size in storage: 5.8 GB Troubleshooting Steps Already Tried: 1. Updated iOS to the latest version. 2. Uninstalled and reinstalled WhatsApp from the App Store. 3. Performed a iPhone resetting. 4. Checked for app updates – none available. 5. Disabled background app refresh and notifications. 6. Tried using both Wi-Fi and mobile data. 7. Ensured iPhone has sufficient free space. 8. Did not restore from iCloud/WhatsApp backup after reinstall (even tried clean install). Despite all this, the app crashes within seconds after launching. No other apps are affected. Additional Observations: • Issue started suddenly without any changes in device usage or settings. • iPhone does not overheat or lag otherwise. This may be a compatibility bug with iOS or something related to WhatsApp’s recent internal behavior. Kindly advise or escalate for investigation.

Affiliate links to external Web store
Hello all. I am currently developing a database app of particular products for people who collect this item. Let's say model airplanes. People can look at their list of model airplanes and also see a collection of airplanes by model companies. I want to offer a link from a product in my app to a local retailer's website who sells this product on their website. Not just their base site, but directly to the products page. Meaning each product in my database will have a unique link to an external product page. This could also include links to Ebay or Amazon if local retailer doesn't sell the product. Is this sort of feature allowed inside App Store Apps as technically it's not an in-app purchase? I do see some vague answers around but none that target this specific circumstance. Thankyou in advance.

Consideration of long-term Bluetooth behavior
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.

Sudden Termination of Apple Developer Account - Seeking Community Advice
Hello, everyone, I hope you're all doing well. I'm facing an unfortunate issue with my Apple Developer Program membership that was suddenly terminated. I received a generic email from Apple, stating that my membership was revoked, but no specific reason was provided for this action. I appealed the decision, offering all possible explanations and commitments to adhere to guidelines, only to be met with a reply stating that the decision is "final" and no subsequent appeals will be processed. Has anyone here faced a similar situation? Are there any steps that can be taken to understand the reason for termination when Apple doesn't disclose it? Is there a way to open a dialogue with Apple, even when they've stated that their decision is final? Would publicizing this issue through social media or blogs be advisable? This is a particularly trying time for us, as we are recovering from a recent earthquake and our app is our sole source of income. Any insights, advice, or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. We don't violate any apple's policies... any information would be welcome. Best regards,

Feature to Enable ALLM optionally via the Apple TV settings Menu
I know this may not seem like the most important feature, but hear me out... I've been using Apple TV on a standard 1080p TV for years and it was GREAT. Recently, I purchased a higher-end 4K television, and when I plugged in my Apple TV - surprise! I was greeted with a somewhat laggy UI due to input delay. After playing with settings and doing a ton of research, I found that it's because of my TV's video processing features. When I switch from the default content type to my TV's Game Mode, the UI feels like a true Apple product again - crisp transitions and the input lag is basically gone. Here's the annoying part: when I start watching video content, it switches to the corresponding content type and everything looks perfect. But when I go back to the menus, it reverts to the default mode with all the lag. So I'm constantly having to manually switch modes! Adding ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) would fix this problem completely. The best part? It's backwards compatible with HDMI 2.0, so it seems like such a small thing to add that would seriously elevate the user experience. I would at least love it if apple gave users this option we can toggle in the settings. Any way we can get this? I made a community post here not sure best place to post

MacBook Pro M1 - 15.5 Kernel Panic when waking from sleep
Hi, EtreCheck I could really use some help with this, as I haven’t been able to find much concrete info. I mistakenly updated my MacBook to the 15.5 beta, and while I can’t say with 100% certainty that the issues started immediately after, I’ve been experiencing consistent kernel panics every time the machine wakes from sleep — it restarts completely and throws an error. I’m really hoping this isn’t a hardware issue. The MacBook is just over two years old, and I rely on it daily for work — replacing it right now isn’t an option. Unfortunately, I don’t have a Time Machine backup to roll back to. I’ve already wiped the machine and reinstalled macOS via recovery mode, and Apple Diagnostics isn’t showing any hardware problems. Just to rule it out: I’m not using any external devices — no docks, Thunderbolt accessories, or anything else plugged in. I came across EtreCheck as a recommended tool, and I’ve included the results below. If anyone is able to help interpret them or point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it. I’ve since unenrolled from the beta and turned off automatic updates — I’m just hoping this is a beta-related bug that resolves with the next stable release. Thanks in advance for any guidance.

App Attest receipts response 400
I tried to send it on the nodejs server I built. No success received 200 My work steps are as follows: The app executes “DCAppAttestService.shared.attestKey” to get receiptData from the acquired attestation. The app sends "receiptData.base64EncodedString()" to the server (code-1) Nodejs code (code-2) Because the app has been uploaded to TestFlight, I set the server IP to "data.appattest.apple.com" Is there something wrong with my steps? code-1 public func attestData(receipt:Data) { if DCDevice.current.isSupported { let sesh = URLSession(configuration: .default) var req = URLRequest(url: URL(string: "http://10.254.239.27:3000/attestationData")!) print(req) req.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type") req.httpMethod = "POST" let data = try! JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: ["receipt": receipt.base64EncodedString()], options: []) req.httpBody = data let task = sesh.dataTask(with: req, completionHandler: { (data, response, error) in if let data = data, let jsonString = String(data: data, encoding: .utf8) { print(jsonString) } }) task.resume() } else { print("Platform is not supported. Make sure you aren't running in an emulator.") //self.stopActivity() } } code-2 versionRouter.post('/attestationData', function(req, response) { console.log("\n\n\n\n\n"); console.log("receiptApi"); var receiptBase64 = req.body.receipt; if (!receiptBase64) { return response.status(400).send({ error: 'Missing receipt data' }); } let binaryReceipt; if (typeof receiptBase64 === 'string') { const cleaned = receiptBase64.trim(); binaryReceipt = Buffer.from(cleaned, 'base64'); } if (Buffer.isBuffer(binaryReceipt)) { //binaryReceipt = receiptBase64; console.log("receipt is base64 或 Buffer: "+ Buffer.isBuffer(binaryReceipt)); } else { console.error('⚠️ receipt is not base64 or Buffer'); response.status(400).send("Receipt format error"); return; } var jwToken = jwt.sign({}, cert, { algorithm: 'ES256',header: { typ: undefined }, issuer: teamId, keyid: keyId}); var post_options = { host: 'data.appattest.apple.com', port: '443', path: '/v1/attestationData', method: 'POST', headers: { 'Authorization': jwToken, 'Content-Type': 'application/octet-stream', 'Content-Length': binaryReceipt.length } }; var post_req = https.request(post_options, function(res) { res.setEncoding('utf8'); console.log("📨 Apple Response Header:", res.headers); console.log("📨 Apple StatusCode:", res.statusCode); var data = ""; res.on('data', function (chunk) { data += chunk; }); res.on('end', function() { console.log(data); response.send({"status": res.statusCode, data: data}); }); }); post_req.on('error', function(e) { console.error('error:', e); response.status(500).send({ error: e.message }); }); post_req.write(binaryReceipt); post_req.end(); });

Porting Games Over to Apple Arcade
Hi all, I'm working for a publisher, and we're looking to bring some of our PC/console titles over to Apple Arcade - how viable is this? Is Unity or Unreal Engine easier to port from? Does anyone have any contacts with porting studios who have done this before? Thanks

App stops responding to touch; works normally otherwise
Some users of my app complain that it stops responding to touch after a while. The screen is still updating, and the app seems to be working normally otherwise. It just doesn't respond to any touches anymore. It is not a problem with the touchscreen itself, because the user is able to swipe up to get to the home screen, and then interact with other apps as normal. When re-opening my app, it is still unresponsive to touch. The only way to solve it, is to restart the app. Does anybody have a similar experience, and knows what could cause it? The app is based on UIKit, and still written in Objective-C, if it matters. The iOS version involved does not seem to matter, it happened with a couple of them.

External Keyboard and Mouse Input Broken in iOS/iPadOS 18.4.1 — Apple and Third-Party Devices Affected (Magic Keyboard, Redragon K580RGBPRO, Razer Naga V2 Pro)
In the public release of iOS 18.4.1 and iPadOS 18.4.1, external input support for keyboards and mice is critically degraded. This issue affects both Apple-branded and third-party HID-compliant devices, over both wired USB-C and Bluetooth. Tested Hardware: • iPhone 16 Pro Max (256GB) • iPad Pro (USB-C, latest gen), last gen iPad as well Affected Devices: • Apple Magic Mouse and Keys (wired USB-C/Bluetooth) • Redragon K580RGBPRO (Bluetooth/wired USB-C) • Razer Naga V2 Pro (Bluetooth/USB-C) Symptoms: • Severe keystroke delay and dropped input • Modifier keys (Shift, Command, Option) fail intermittently • Input degrades further with multiple HID devices connected • Mouse input via Bluetooth exhibits pointer lag and jitter • Occurs in all apps: Notes, Safari, Mail, text fields, password entries, etc. • Identical results using Apple USB-C cables Reproducibility: 100%. Clean boots, minimal background activity, and isolated environments (including Airplane Mode) do not resolve the issue. Identical behavior across both iPhone and iPad. Expected Behavior: All HID-compliant external input devices — particularly Apple-branded ones — should provide low-latency, reliable, and consistent input over both USB-C and Bluetooth, especially in a production iOS/iPadOS release. Actual Behavior: External keyboards and mice exhibit: • Lag • Dropped characters • Failed modifiers • Degraded mouse tracking Even with the latest hardware and clean configurations. Severity: Critical. This is a platform-level failure affecting I/O at the user interaction layer. Input reliability is non-negotiable — especially on $2000+ flagship devices using Apple’s own peripherals. Closing Note (for Apple engineering & peer devs): This is not a beta regression — it’s a public release flaw that undermines iOS and iPadOS usability for power users, professionals, and accessibility communities alike. That Apple Magic Keyboard, Redragon, and Razer gear all fail equally and consistently should be a wake-up call. Apple: this needs to be escalated. Now. External input — one of the most basic subsystems in any OS — is broken on your highest-end devices.

GoogleAPIClientForRest classes not found
I am trying to connect to a google worksheet with a service account and have added the GoogleAPIClientForRest (Drive and Sheets) and GTMSessionFetcher (Core) dependencies to my project.
