Hello Apple Developer Community, I'd like to propose a system-wide enhancement for future versions of iOS: the integration of native utility apps — Calculator, Compass, Voice Memos, Magnifier, Measure, Weather, and Translate — into a single unified app, tentatively called Apple Assist. The vision is to provide: A modular interface where users can enable/disable tools as needed. Smarter workflows with proactive suggestions based on context (time, location, task). AI-powered interaction through voice and Apple Intelligence (Advanced Siri). Benefits: Reduces icon clutter on the Home Screen. Simplifies the user experience with a single access point. Creates opportunities for automation and accessibility. Imagine saying: “Hey Siri, record a quick note and measure the table” — and the app smartly loads those modules on demand. Would love to hear feedback from the community — and whether Apple might consider something in this direction for iOS 19 or beyond. Best regards, Jose Luiz Horta Barbosa Maurity Cruz

I see games like Resident Evil and others have a partnership with Apple to help bring it to the MacOS and iOS platform and I was wondering if anyone knows how a company gets these partnerships, is it Apple who reaches out or do they have to reach out?

After updating to another beta of High Sierra, my internal hard drive became read-only somehow. I have a user home directory on that and many things have stopped working. I tried re-installing the OS, but it didn't help. I'm out of options by now. Anyone has ideas how can I fix that?

I would like to inquire about an error that has started occurring while debugging AppStore billing. (In sandbox environment) This error occurs after entering a password and completing the purchase process, and in this case, no completion alert appears. The error doesn't seem to depend on the purchase item, sandbox account, or device, and shows unstable behavior - sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing. Additionally, this error started occurring after special debugging where the network was disconnected during the purchase process. Moreover, the same error occurs in the TestFlight version of our already released normal (supposedly) version. I think this might be a sandbox-specific error where the system has temporarily become unstable, but what do you think? If so, how can I resolve this issue? I would appreciate your insights on the cause and appropriate response. Error details below: <SKPaymentQueue: 0x283b3d070>: Payment completed with error: Error Domain=ASDErrorDomain Code=500 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x28364d770 {Error Domain=AMSErrorDomain Code=305 "Purchase Failed" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Purchase Failed, AMSStatusCode=200, AMSServerPayload={ "cancel-purchase-batch" = 1; customerMessage = "Unauthorized_message"; failureType = ""; "m-allowed" = 0; pings = ( ); }, NSLocalizedFailureReason=Server canceled the purchase}}, storefront-country-code=JPN, client-environment-type=Sandbox}

I was searching for demo code from WWDC 2015 (Maze: Getting Started with GamePlayKit). Turns out, Apple remove the project from their website. But I finally found the project on my Mac because I must have downloaded it in the past. Does anyone know if I'm allowed to put that project to a public GitHub page without any modifications? Has anyone of you experience with this? I think it's really bad that Apple is removing those old projects. And as this particular project is in ObjC it compiles with only minor adjustments.

We have observed an issue where upgrading an iPhone to iOS 18.4 causes installed apps to revert to significantly older versions. For example, if the App Store version is 1.0.284 and the user had 1.0.283 installed before the upgrade, after updating to iOS 18.4, the app version reverts to 1.0.208—which is nearly a year old. We suspect this may be related to iCloud backup restoration. Has Apple encountered similar cases, and is there a known resolution for this issue?

After I got my repaired phone back from the shop, I noticed that iphone mirroring is not functioning like normal. I tried every solutions from deleting the .plist files and reset my phone's connection, but now it seems like the problem comes from the mirroring app itself. After deleting the .plist file and resetting the MBP, the setup for the mirroring app won't let me continue, as clicking the "continue" button only flash the descriptions of the mirroring feature for a slight moment, then return to the same setup UI as before. Is there anyway to completely delete and reinstall this app so that it functions again?

With CarPlay communication plugin R18.1, I followed these steps to integrate Enhance siri, the music sound was output from carplay and there is no option for output to Car. ============================================ Enhanced Siri Declare supported audioFormats for the AuxIn and AuxOut streams Since the AuxIn and AuxOut streams for Siri do not have to be both active at the same time, the accessory must claim audio formats support for AuxIn Audio and AuxOut audio independently. The audio formats for each stream can differ from each other (48KHz for AuxOut and 16KHz for AuxIn). The new audio types represent these new streams - AuxIn/speechRecognition & AuxOut/speechRecognition. Check if connected device supports the feature AirPlayReceiverSessionHasFeatureEnhancedSiri() Claim support in the Setup Response message if device supports the feature Add kAirPlayKeyAccessoryEnabledFeature_EnhancedSiri key through the AirPlayReceiverServer delegate AirPlayReceiverServerCopyProperty_f function for the kAirPlayKey_AccessoryEnabledFeatures key. Helper function: CFArrayAppendValue() Add Enhanced Siri parameters dictionary in the INFO message Add dictionary through the AirPlayReceiverServer delegate AirPlayReceiverServerCopyProperty_f function for the kAirPlayKey_EnhancedSiriInfo key. kAirPlayKey_EnhancedSiriInfo dictionary parameters: Voice activation of Siri - kAirPlayKey_EnhancedSiriVoice Current language of voice model - kAirPlayKey_VoiceModelCurrentLanguage Supported languages of voice model - kAirPlayKey_VoiceModelSupportedLanguages Enhanced Button activation of Siri - kAirPlayKey_EnhancedSiriButton Supported zone(s) if any - kAirPlayKey_SupportedSiriTriggerZones Update AudioStream Get state of the AuxIn state by providing an implementation of AudioStreamUpdateState() - Off, local buffering, or streaming to device. Decouple input streams from output streams. AuxIn is an independent input stream only. The property kAudioStreamProperty_Direction will provide the necessary information if the stream is input, output or input & output. Provide a handler for the AirPlayReceiverSessionDelegate setEnhancedSiriParams_f This will provide additional information: Activation type Setting the language of the voice model Invoke the Communication Plugin to start buffering Once the activation type has been specified, the accessory can request the plugin to start buffering using AirPlayReceiverSessionAuxInStart(). Use the new APIs to trigger Siri: AirPlayReceiverSessionRequestSiriActionWithLatency() AirPlayReceiverSessionRequestSiriVoiceActivationWithLatency() AirPlayReceiverSessionRequestSiriVoiceActivationWithSample() Button presses and voice activations should use this new APIs which adds a timestamp of the activation. These APIs allow a choice of a latency or a sample for button and voice activations. If there is a delay between the user pressing the button to notifying the device on the button press, this latency value should represent this time. If the accessory can determine which zone activated, it can provide the zone with the request. Invoke the Communication Plugin to stop buffering You may need to invoke the plugin to stop buffering (AirPlayReceiverSessionAuxInStop()) if exclusive access to the microphone is necessary. Such instances may include but not limited to: Native voice recognition session Telephony Another stream function which uses the microphone starts modesChanged notification can be used to determine if a resource is being used Note, if the session ends, the plugin will automatically stop buffering

Hello All, I would like to nominate my app for the coveted position of a “featured app.” However, it appears that I would have had to submitted the app before it went live a few weeks ago. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there another form out there to fill out the app information for submission? Thank you for any help! Darien Pilates Mastery™

Immediately post iOS 18.4 upgrade yesterday 2023 MacBook Pro 14″ battery level dropped to zero and indicates "Service Recommended". System report shows battery charge cycles at "0". Wondering if others have seen this occurance on other laptops?

Hello, I’m reaching out here because I have exhausted all other support channels without success. I submitted an enrollment request for the Apple Developer Program on March 3, 2025 (Enrollment ID: 3CJFXN3AA3), and it’s now been over 2.5 months with no resolution. All required documents have been submitted, confirmed received by Apple Support, and multiple follow-ups have been made (Case #102541675488). Each time, I’m told that the case is still under review, but I haven’t received any clear update or timeline. Is there anything else I can do to move this process forward? Is there a better way to escalate or contact someone who can help finalize the review? Any advice or help from the community or Apple team would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Daniyar

when I receive calls on my mobile number and I am connected to a Wifi, the calls is cancelled after the second ring and the caller receives a busy signal. That means I cannot receive calls anymore. This problems happens with different mobile providers and does not occur on my Samsung Galaxy Phone with the same number (eSim). Even when I disable WIFI Calling the problem persists, when I am connected to a WIFI. Only when I disable the WIFI Connect and I am only connected to the mobile carrier, the calls go throuhg in a normal way. VERY annoying and hast not been fixed with Beta 3 of iOS 18.4. Any clue how this can be solved with settings? Hope Apple fixes this very soon!

Hello, I created a particular ray tracing based photo/video capture app for iPhone (which causes me several headaches in finding the optimal configuration) that which often offers very soft and visually beautiful shots but is trapped in the usual oblivion of apps from unknown developers. While it is true that on the one hand the fact that almost no one downloads your app even if it is free can save you from several gaffes in the early days, in the long run it becomes depressing. So I thought of creating something that could be an incentive to try the app. Not having money to invest in prizes for contests or much more pragmatically in advertising, I thought of adding a function where you can see the best photos taken in your area and vote for them and, if you want, add a photo taken in the competition. Do you think it could be a nice idea? It's true that the problem itself is to overcome the wall of 0 downloads, where your app is neither successful nor unsuccessful because in fact nobody tries it, but without money for advertising I don't have many other ideas... Thanks

The latest Beta update 18.5.4 has caused connectivity problems with my car (Skoda Enyaq) whereby there is no connection via Bluetooth or the cars internal WiFi. Also contacts will not download to the care which is very frustrating.
