I frequently use my iPad to develop remotely in VSCode or prototype designs in Figma. This is currently all done in the browser. Given that many of these experiences rely heavily on the keyboard I was hoping there would be a solution to make a keyboard persistent on the screen, or at least a few hot keys.
Is it possible for me to develop an accessibility tool that could stay persistent on the screen? Perhaps something that would talk with assistive touch? Or is that in Apple’s no no square?

Facing issue in earphone not working in iPhone 12 after updating iOS 18.1. It is so frustrating. Can anyone have any solution to this? Nothing is happening after resetting or rebooting the phone many times.
I am not able to chrome cast to my Google TV. Getting "cast give Chrome access in system settings.
Please let me know how can this be done.
This problem only occured after installing the latest mac os sequoia public beta version 15.1 (24B5077a)
Hello, I have a question regarding the voice and sound recognition features on the iPhone 15 Pro.
The iPhone 15 Pro is equipped with four microphones, and I understand that for features like Apple’s sound recognition and when invoking Siri, the microphone(s) must always be active. My question is whether the device uses a single microphone (mono channel) for these functions or if multiple microphones are activated simultaneously.
I would appreciate clarification on how the microphones are utilized in sound and voice recognition features.
Thank you for your assistance.
Best regards.

Does giving the ability for blocked users to still view the users who blocked them, despite not being able to reply, retweet, or otherwise directly engage with that user go against Apple‘s TOS for user created content? It feels a bit ambiguous.
I am trying to create Apple Push Notifications service APNs, but the following error occurs.
This service must have one identifier configured.

I got a UIControl, and I want to make it behavior like a custom UIAccessibilityElement.
UIControl *control = [[UIControl alloc] init];
control.isAccessibilityElement = NO;
CustomAccessibilityElement *elem = [[CustomAccessibilityElement alloc] initWithAccessibilityContainer:control];
elem.isAccessibilityElement = YES;
// some custom setting here
control.accessibilityElements = @[elem];
It worked well with an iPhone 13, iOS 15.5.1, but crashed with an iPhone SE, iOS 15.4.1 and the crash msg is :
"-[UIAccessibilityElement _addAccessibilityElementsAndOrderedContainersWithOptions:toCollection:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x283b7c680"
Can you tell me the reason ?
Thanks a lot.
Apple's testers tell me that "the app does not meet all requirements for apps that offer highly regulated services or handle sensitive user data," (however, the APP does not offer any type of regulated service), which is why which indicate that it must be published with a user of the Apple Developer program as an organization and not as an individual.
How can I correct this problem?

Hello everyone,
I am experiencing random and untimely disconnection issues with my iStorage diskAshur external HDD/SSD while using macOS. I have already contacted Apple Support but unfortunately, they could not provide a solution and suggested I reach out to this forum for further assistance.
Has anyone else faced similar issues with the diskAshur on macOS? If so, what steps did you take to resolve the problem? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
I am working on capturing 48MP images using the iPhone 16 Pro Max with the Ultra-wide camera. I’ve updated the code to capture the maximum supported dimensions with the following snippet:
if #available(iOS 16.0, *) {
photoOutput.maxPhotoDimensions = device.activeFormat.supportedMaxPhotoDimensions.last!
photoSettings.maxPhotoDimensions = .init(width: 5712, height: 4284)
}
However, I’m still not getting the expected results. My goal is to capture 48MP images, and I want to confirm if the Ultra-wide camera supports this resolution or if I’m missing any other configuration.
Any guidance would be appreciated!
I am developing an app using DeviceActivity.
let schedule = DeviceActivitySchedule(
intervalStart: DateComponents(hour : 0, minute : 0, second: 1),
intervalEnd: DateComponents(hour : 23, minute : 59, second: 59),
repeats: true
)
I found that on the second day, intervalDidStart(for: DeviceActivityName) gets called multiple times.
I also tried
let schedule = DeviceActivitySchedule(
intervalStart: DateComponents(hour : 0, minute : 0, second: 1),
intervalEnd: DateComponents(hour : 23, minute : 59, second: 59),
repeats: false
)
and started monitoring for the next day in the intervalDidEnd(for: DeviceActivityName) method.
but , intervalDidStart(for: DeviceActivityName) still gets called multiple times.
How should I resolve this issue?

macOS > Settings > Keyboard > Text Replacement is a macOS/iOS feature I use extensively but it is unavailable in quite a few macOS applications — including some Apple apps like Xcode. Other apps I want Text Replacement to work in but it doesn't are the Adobe CC suite, all my code text editors like VC Studio, Sublime Text, BBEdit, emacs etc and Firefox.
Does anybody know what the file path is for the file that stores the Text Replacement key/string pair data?
If i can access the .plist file or similar where the Text Replacement key/string pairs are stored I will be able to convert to JSON using REGEX and import to the Firefox plugin that will replicate Text Replacement functionality in Firefox for me. Ditto other code editor applications with their own particular text substitution functionality.
Background
Some of these apps have plugins or functional equivalents of Text Replacement but i need a way to do the import/export dance to keep them in sync with my Text Replacement text pairs.
Sadly, even though we can select the Text Replacement table (in macOS but not in iOS versions), we can't copy that information. This seems to me a violation of good GUI design principles. Why allow selection of the entire table if we cannot copy it to the clipboard?
Nor can we import or export the table of text tuples. The Text Replacement GUI has no buttons to do this (consider this post also a FR for that).
Screen-capturing and running text recognition software over the PNG it is not an option given:
a) all the UTF-16 unusual glyphs and combination glyphs i use;
b) that I'd like to script this as a multi-directional syncing application I can run periodically.
Typically macOS and app preferences are stored in plist files. I want to find such a file and convert it to JSON for importing into a Firefox plugin that replicates Text Replacement within Firefox.
I tried modifying Text Replacements by adding a new item to the list and clicking "Done" and then filtering ~/Library for .plist files and sorting by "Date Modified" but nothing is showing up with these values in it.
When would it be a good idea to utilize numbered lists with VoiceOver accessibility. As an example, for tab bars it will read about "2 of 5".
In speaking with an Accessibility engineer at WWDC this year, the said that its good practice, but we ran out of time in the call to dig further deeper. When or how do you know when you should read out the item count "2 of 5".
It makes sense to me in say a tab group or a chip group, but I don't see it being good in say potentially a UITableView with potentially a various number of sections of which each section itself can include multiple cells.
I've had trouble finding additional guidance on this topic, if anyone can provide recommendations or their thoughts, that would be great.
Can it please be explained why the voice memo layers is exclusive to iPhone 16 pro models?
I was told by apple support that if it was possible on older models Apple would have implemented it.
This type of functionality has been in technology for tens of years and has a proven track record of being implemented across so many different platforms and even apps in Apples on App Store. So that response from apple support is just rubbish to be honest. Even if the response is “so we can sell the iPhone 16 pro“ then so be it. ive noticed Apple locking software features to new devices lately and it’s genuinely making me think about buying my first even android phone.. because I really don’t support these kind of scummy tactics.
many thanks,

After updating to iOS 18, I've noticed that my app's icon displays correctly on the home screen but appears with a black background in the 'Settings > Apps' section when Dark Mode is active.
The icon currently has a non-transparent gradient orange background, and I haven't set up a separate icon for Dark Mode. Has anyone else experienced this issue, or does anyone have suggestions for how to ensure the app icon looks the same in Dark Mode as it does in Light Mode?
