iOS 18 System Bug Causes URL Scheme Failure
iOS 18 System Bug Causes URL Scheme Failure A bug in iOS 18 causes URL Schemes to become invalid through the following steps, resulting in failure to open apps via URL Scheme. Reproduction Steps: Long-press the app icon Select "Require Face ID" Choose "Hide and Require Face ID" to hide the app Go to the App Library and locate the hidden app in the "Hidden" folder Uninstall the hidden app reinstalling the hidden app After reinstalling the app, all configured URL Schemes will become invalid, causing failure when attempting to open the app via URL Scheme. The issue appears to be that after uninstalling a hidden app and reinstalling it, the system fails to restore the app's URL Scheme functionality.

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. However, this code import GoogleAPIClientForRESTCore import GTMSessionFetcherCore func test() { let x = GTLRServiceAccountCredentials.self let y = GTLRAuthorizer.self print("Classes Found") } I get the the following errors: Cannot find "GTLRServiceCredentials' in scope and Cannot find 'GTLRAuthorizer' in scope. The dependencies are listed in the Link Binary with Libraries section. I have am using the latest versions of OS and Xocod and have reinstalled both to try and resolve this issue with no luck.

General question about use of disassembled Apple products.
If I want to display my corporations digital position would it be considered legal to use an iPhone SIM card reader as it seems to have a “data” point that hints at the idea of stabilization of intelligence that be found both off line and online. I did a little research and it said Apples proprietary patents are referring to the size, ejection, magnetic trigger etc which leads me to want to know if the idea of using a SIM card reader to position the corporation as it uses a $USD specimen data file to position the idea of the corporation into a tangible format. The part I’m referring to is the iPhone 11 sim tray and reader. The picture refers to the idea of the point on the back being similar to the ***** eye as something similar to the dollar seal. I want to be a winner in the industry, I’ve got 50 plus “winner web domains” to bring to life and it’s time to buckle down and evolve the digital economy but first I want to validate the legality of me using disassembled Apple products to configure a “digital unit” that displays a “cyber analog”.

Is It Possible to Restore Previous Browser State After openURL on iOS?
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!

Mac OS 15.5 beta (24F5053j)
Hello everyone, I recently installed the following update (today) : Version 15.5 beta (24F5053j). Since rebooting, my Thunderbolt ports have stopped working. I contacted Apple Support, but they simply advised me to wait for the next update, without being able to give me a specific timeframe.... Result: my USB-C external monitors are no longer recognized. Have any of you encountered the same problem? Do you have any tips or solutions to reactivate the Thunderbolt ports? Thanks in advance for your help!

How to disable auto restart on iOS 18
I have an iPhone 12 mini and I am currently using it as a modem for my router. Previously it was running iOS 14, but the DHCP on iOS 14 doesn't work and Apple didn't fix it until iOS 15. Recently I upgraded the system to iOS 18.4 to get DHCP back, but I got a bigger problem. The iPhone will restart itself after 3 days, and then I just lost internet connection. The hotspot will not be turned on until I climbed on my bookshelf to unlock my phone. After I googled it, I found that it is a feature that Apple introduced in iOS 18.1. While I couldn't find any setting to turn it off. If this cannot be controlled by the user, then it is anyway a BUG than a feature.

no “Add Cellular Plan” or any other eSIM-related menu.
Hi, I have an iPhone 15 Pro Max, model A2849, which according to Apple’s official specifications, supports eSIM. However, in the settings, there is no visible option to add an eSIM (see attached screenshot). There is no “Add Cellular Plan” or any other eSIM-related menu. I’ve already checked for software updates, restarted the device, and reset the network settings, but the issue remains. Has anyone experienced this issue or knows how to fix it? Thanks in advance for your help!

Messages-Photos access
Dear Developer, it used to be that when you were inside a Message and you clicked on the person‘s name you could bring up photos, links, etc., and pretty much all the photos would be there…at least for many months if not longer. However, when the iOS updated to 18, all the pictures disappeared and now I would have to download the entire set of images from the iCloud to get to the ones I want. It used to be so easy to access the photos under the name, I wouldn’t have to go searching for them. Furthermore, it left the pictures inside messages rather than leaving a gray box with paper emblem, file name, size & download option. Yes I understand that I could save all the pictures to my actual photos app, but I don’t always want to, however, I do sometimes want to go back and reference a picture within a text and now I’m not able to do that. I’m not sure if that was to save on memory/space or if it was just an accident of the fix on iOS 18, but it has really taken away a lot of convenience and accessibility. My search function has also been taken away because the pictures are no longer available inside the text. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

Apple Developer Enrollment Delay — No Updates for 24 Days
I’m trying to register an Apple Developer Account for my company. I uploaded all the required documents, but my initial application was rejected, and I was asked to provide notarized translations of my documents. I translated them and submitted everything for review on April 1. After a week without a response, I contacted Apple Support. They replied that the documents had been received and were under review. However, as of today, April 24, my account is still under review. I’ve sent five follow-up emails to Support asking for a status update on my case, but I haven’t received any replies. Has anyone faced a similar situation and could suggest what I can do to get a status update and finally complete the registration? If anyone from Apple Support is reading this, my case number is 20000098634973 and my Enrollment ID is J34432JQFC. Thank you in advance for your help.

ios 18.4.1 internet issues
I’ve recently updated to ios 18.4.1 and I have problems with the internet. Things download painfully slow, an application that used to download in 10 seconds is now downloading in 2 minutes. Videos tend to stop at some point and when i fast forward them it stops to load a little when on the previous version it would work fine. It feels like my internet aged 30 years in 10 minutes. I’ve tried on other phones (not iphones) and it works just fine. Is it from the update or is it just my internet?

iOS18, certificates, mail app and domain
I'm totally baffled by the changes Apple made on iOS18 about certificates usage in the built-in mail application. They decided that self-signed are not accepted any more, fine. As long as you can install your own root CA and trust it, it should be fine. But NO! They have also decided that mail will only accept IMAP servers using a domain name, no more just and IP address. So you can't get any IP-based certificate that will be accepted by the mail app, even with the right SAN and al. I've tried two "identical" certs, one with a domain and one with an IP and the domain works while the IP fails, being rejected as non-valid by the app. The most funny part is that the IP cert is good enough to configure mail (can see the successful login), but is being rejected when reading emails. I'm really fed up with the "Apple police" that wants to push us not using our own storage anymore. My se case is simple, I have an IMAP server that is used by family to archive all emails and keep them organized, saved forever and away from being scanned. I need to access that server either when locally connected or through VPN. For VPN, I use split tunnels because I don't want all traffic to go to tunnel. Nor do I want to create my own local DNS server and have all VPN clients use such DNS server only for the sake of having a domain name for the IMAP server. Nor do I want to open an external port to redirect to my IMAP server (that works of course as then I can use DDNS ...). Talk about increased security! This is insane

Subscribed Calendar Issue
I'm running into issues with iOS respecting the HTTP 410 "Gone" response type. Setup: Using the native iOS Calendar app, add a new subscription calendar. "Add Subscription Calendar" Add the URL of a ICS calendar subscription that you control, e.g. https://mywebsite.com/userfeeds/23/cal.ics Make sure to select the "Account" option and choose "On My iPhone/iPad". Set the query amount to 15 mins. Calendar events show as expected, device queries the latest updates from the server every 15 minutes. Server returns HTTP 200 with the .ics contents. Now, assume there is a need for the feed to end - maybe the user unsubscribed to mywebsite.com. There is currently no way for the mywebsite.com server / response to tell the device the feed has ended and it should stop requesting. If the user forgets to go to calendar and manually unsubscribe the device will continually ping the server every 15 minutes indefinitely. It's turning into a virtual DoS for my platform. iOS should respect the HTTP 410 "Gone" header or something similar. If the server returns a HTTP 410 response code for https://mywebsite.com/userfeeds/23/cal.ics X amount of times, the feed should be automatically removed. I've opened several tickets over the last 3 years and have not even had a status change on the tickets. Does anyone know how to resolve this or a work around?
