Hi, We have an Accessibility for DAC user issue, We are using Angular 17 for our Front End application. there is a case where after they press a section one page it re-reroutes to next page to show some details, where the focus is persist on the same place whatever we select the previous place. this is only issue on ios 17.5.1 version, all the andriod and desktop this is fine.

I ’m not sure if it’s just me but i recently updated my phone to ios18.3 beta or something like that, ive had ios18 beta for a while and just updated it last night. I tried changing my app tint to a purple colour, but every single time i tried to do so, the app tint automatically changed to a very dark blue?? Ive reset my phone, powered it off, i’m not sure why it’s happening but it wont fix. Anyone got any tips?

Keyboard selection is inconsistent, and I believe it's a bug - it's definitely not a behavior I would expect or have seen in any well-respected editor that comes with custom key bindings. The problem is that Cmd+Shift+Right/Left selects the text by expanding the selection to the end/start of the line without ever deselecting the text if the cursor goes over existing selection. The above behavior is opposite of selection by word via Option+Shift+Right/Left which has the right behavior. This behavior exists in all apps that don't come with custom selection behavior. For example, Google Chrome, TextEdit, Slack, etc. I spent a long time with Apple Support to fix this because this behavior doesn't work for me in XCode and it can be frustrating at times because I often have to use mouse which I don't like. Can anyone help me improve this please?

my phone volume is broken i have been having volume problems since downloading ios18

Accessibility ui server turned on right after iPhone turned on after iOS 18 beta 3. Due to this issue, volume is forced max. Cant change the volume.

Hi, we encounter an issue while using voice over in our app. On a given page, voice over is running through the items but at some point (randomly) the volume of the voice over decreases dramatically. It is only possible to restore the original volume by killing the app and launch it again. It does not happen systematically and is pretty difficult to reproduce but it happens on a regular basis. No interaction occurs with other apps (music or navigation apps) and there is no interaction with bluetooth or other air play devices. The code does not involve any voice over changes. We are looking for any clue that can lead to the issue root cause. Thanks for the help !

I'm just joining FaceTime with the background setting that I have been advocating for a long time. It is about the Accessibility Lens, which we want to change the background of FaceTime video calls. I want to make suggestions or comments on those features we would like to have. Is there somewhere we can have this forum to discuss specifically with the FaceTime ecosystem?

Just installed iOS 18 Beta 3. I am seeing my AccessibilityUIServer using the microphone and this is causing no notification sounds, inability to use Siri by voice and volume is grayed out. If I start to play anything with sound AccessibilityUIServer releases the microphone and I am able to use the app. Calls still work since AccessibilityUIServer will release and the phone will ring. Feed back ID is FB14241838.

I am developing an application that needs to interact with active editable text boxes on macOS, similar to how Grammarly functions. Specifically, my application needs to: Read and write text in the currently active editable text box where the keyboard input is directed. Move the writer cursor and mark text within the text box. Ideally, the solution should support cross-platform functionality, covering both macOS and Windows. Does anyone know of any toolkits, libraries, or APIs that can facilitate this kind of functionality on macOS?

After double tapping a text space. Allow to press and hold “Paste” to ase a pop up list of the last 5 text copies you’ve made. While still keeping the one “Paste” touch to the most recent. This we help when we accidentally copied or cut different text before pasting what we were saving to paste later.

Greetings, I am currently conceptualizing an application designed to interface with Carplay, enabling control over aftermarket automotive fragrance systems and ambient lighting within vehicles. Having perused your development guidelines, I am interested in understanding how my project might be classified within your framework. Specifically, I am exploring whether it would be appropriate to categorize this endeavor under the 'Driving Task' category, given its direct interaction with the vehicle environment. Your insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Best regards!

I have one project where I have XYZ scheme and target. I have Localizable.string under XYZ target for localization. I want to create a ABC target (duplicate of XYZ) and set custom language support for it. Let's say I have english, french and german for XYZ, I want hindi, japanese and chinese for ABC. I did the below steps I went to Manage scheme and duplicated the XYZ (duplicate scheme = ABC). I added new localization file only for ABC (LocalizationForABC.string) and made sure those reflect in File Inspector -> Target (only ABC selected) and also checked in Build Phases -> Copy Bundle Resources (LocalizationABC exists). When I run the ABC target under let's say french, it works fine but when I build the project ABC, and remove french from XYZ, ABC is broken and it only runs in english. Am I missing something here ?

I am using WKWebview and loading HTML content with couple of tags. However, I do not see any numbers for links when I say "Show Numbers" with voice control turned on. Any help would be appreciated. I am testing it with 17.4.1

I tried to activate FaceTime and iMessage on my iPhone 15 Pro after update to iOS 18. But i could not activate it to my service provider phone number and its activated to my iCloud mail id. Also tried everything mention on Apple Support page. No luck yet. I contact my service provider too. They asked to clerify from Apple.

I have added a UI test that uses the newish app.performAccessibilityAudit() on each of the screens in my SwiftUI app. I get a handful of test failures for various accessibility issues. Some of them are related to iOS issues (like the "legal" button in a map view doesn't have a big enough tappable are; and, I think, there is a contrast issue with selected tabs in a tab bar, or maybe it is a false positive). Two of the error type I get are around Text elements that use default font styles (like headline) but that apparently get clipped at times and apparently "Dynamic Type font sizes are unsupported". For some of the errors it supplies a screenshot of the whole screen along with an image of the element that is triggering the error. For these text errors it only provides the overall image. After looking at the video I saw that part of the test runs the text size all the way up and I could see that at the largest size or two the text was getting cut off despite using default settings for the frames on all the Text elements. After a bit of trial and error I managed to get the text to wrap properly even at the largest of sizes and most of the related errors went away running on an iPhone simulator. I switched to an iPad simulator and the errors re-appeared even though the video doesn't show the text getting clipped. Does anyone have any tips for actually fixing these issues? Or am I in false positive land here? Also, is there any way to get more specific info out of the test failures? Looking at the entire screen and trying to guess where the issue is kinda sucks.

About half the time or more when dictating text, if dictation mode is manually deactivated immediately when done speaking the last word is duplicated. For example, if you dictate a text message (without using Siri) using the microphone button on the keyboard and are dictating a text message to someone by saying, ‘I’m on my way, be there soon.’ and hit send or stop the dictation as soon as you are done talking the dictated text will read. ‘I’m on my way, Be there soon soon.’ -currently running iOS 18, beta 1 and I’ve experienced this multiple times.

Hello, I'm trying to leverage PersonalVoice to read a phrase in my iOS application. My implementation works correctly on an iPhone 15, but does not work when I run the iOS application on an M2 Macbook Air. Here are some snippets from my implementation // This is how I request Personal Voice AVSpeechSynthesizer.requestPersonalVoiceAuthorization() { status in if status == .authorized { var personalVoices = AVSpeechSynthesisVoice.speechVoices().filter { $0.voiceTraits.contains(.isPersonalVoice) } } } // this is how I'm attempting to read let utterance = AVSpeechUtterance(string:textToRead) if let voice = personalVoices.first { utterance.voice = voice } var synthesizer = AVSpeechSynthesizer() synthesizer.speak(utterance) I get the following error messages when I try this: Cannot use AVSpeechSynthesizerBufferCallback with Personal Voices, defaulting to output channel. Caller does not have kTCCServiceVoiceBanking access to personal voices. No speech will be generated Voice not allowed to render speech! Will not set up synthesizer. Bailing now Any suggestions on how to mitigate this issue?

Hey Apple, We (our customer support teams) have received feedback from our customers complaining their hearing devices (hearing aids) appear to be connected to MFi and OS controls are working, but audio stream isn't working, and the app is unable to resolve a connection to the device via the CBCentralManager.retrieveConnectedPeripherals(withServices:) The issues appear to disappear once the user unpairs and re-pair the hearing devices in the Accessibility > Hearing Devices options (they might also need to uninstall and reinstall the app as it is getting stuck due to invalid state), but we are unable to replicate this issue on our environments given it is intermittent and once we have upgraded a device to iOS 17.5.1, we don't have a mechanism to revert to an earlier version of it. So far, we have received about 30 reports for the past 2 weeks. Most of our customers complain about the app not connecting to the devices, but the fact the audio stream is not happening could hint to a deeper problem than our app. Are you guys aware of a problem affecting MFi hearing devices restoring after the OS upgrade process?
