A lot of apps use undocumented App-prefs URLs to help users get to the iOS Settings screen needed to set up the app. In iOS 18, it seems like these all stopped working. Here are the ones I currently use: App-prefs:MESSAGES - broken in iOS 18 Used for SMS Protection. App-prefs:Phone - broken in iOS 18 Used for Live Voicemail, Silence Unknown Callers, and SMS Reporting. Some but not most paths have specific documented replacements. E.g. for Call Blocking & Identification you can use CXCallDirectoryManager.sharedInstance.openSettings() and this still works in iOS 18. But I don't see any other direct replacements. Apple probably doesn't consider this a bug but I filed FB14378568 anyway. I consider this an accessibility issue because many older, inexperienced, or users with disabilities have trouble finding the right Settings screen based on a textual description alone.

I’m developing an app for Vision Pro and have encountered an issue related to the UI layout and model display. Here's a summary of the problem: I created an anchor window to display text and models in the hand menu UI. While testing on my Vision Pro, everything works as expected; the text and models do not overlap and appear correctly. However, after pushing the changes to GitHub and having my client test it, the text and models are overlapping. Details: I’m using Reality Composer Pro to load models and set them in the hand menu UI. All pins are attached to attachmentHandManu, and attachmentHandManu is set to track the hand and show the elements in the hand menu. I ensure that the attachmentHandManu tracks the hand properly and displays the UI components correctly in my local tests. Question: What could be causing the text and models to overlap in the client’s environment but not in mine? Are there any specific settings or configurations I should verify to ensure consistent behavior across different environments? Additionally, what troubleshooting steps can I take to resolve this issue?

Hello everyone Yesterday I logged in with my Apple id on the Apple developer site. I have no subscription so some functions are not available for my account. Since I logged in, if I go to settings, general, software updates the beta updates also appear. I wanted to know if there is a way to remove this and to delete my account from Apple developer. Thank you

When voiceover is turned on in IOS devices the video controls like pause/resume, forward , backward are not working in inline mode and works fine in fullscreen. The controls are announced properly in voiceover,but when we press it, it is not performing any action at all. We used HTML5 video tag to display mp4 video in our app.we have added all necessary accessibility tags as well. We also observe the same issue is happening in the w3school web page. Attaching the link here for reference. (https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml5_video) Could you please guide us why the video controls are not working. Is there anything we want to change or any update needed from the safari side.

Heya, I'm currently building out my own application for tracking my health information, and I'm hoping to collect my historical data from Apple Health. Sadly, it would appear that certain things I wish to export don't appear in the export.xml file. Some of the things that I would expect to find in the export.xml file, that do not currently appear, are as follows: More data about my medications, currently I can only export a list of my medications, its not possible to export data such as when what medication was taken. Logged emotions; there is currently no support for this (that I can find). Would appreciate some insight into this.

Hi, I am trying to include an Image in the Apple News template which is clickable, meaning if a user clicks on that image it should be redirected to a different page. I am using action and openURL as below but it seems though the image is loading fine but its not doing anything when I click on the image. { "role": "container", "components": [ { "role": "container", "components": [ { "role": "image", "URL": "https://myImageURL.jpg", "action": { "type": "openURL", "URL": "https://URLToBeRedirected" } } ] } ] } I am using Newspreview to preview my article.json. Please let me know any resolution for this issue.

So basically using IOS voiceover it reads a radio button like this. Aria label +"check box" + "radio button uncheck 1/2 required" is this behavior expected for the IOS Voice over. Thank you !

Hi everyone, I’m exploring the idea of displaying a live 3D view of Google Maps in a Vision Pro app using SwiftUI and RealityKit. I want users to be able to interact with the map, including panning, zooming in and out, and exploring different areas in a fully immersive environment. Is this technically possible within the Vision Pro ecosystem? If so, what would be the recommended approach to implement this? If not, are there any alternative methods or platforms that could provide a similar experience? Thanks in advance for your insights! Best, Siddharth

after installing the latest iOS 18 developer beta on my iPhone SE 3. VoiceOver keeps saying unpronounceable when I swipe through applications or doing anything else on my phone. Please fix this Voiceover bug as soon as possible? I submitted the same bug report through the Feedback Assistant app and there is no response from Apple when the issue will be resolved.

My store requires customers to provide Identification if they are using credit card because of the amount of stolen cards in this area. How can I ensure customers aren’t using a stolen card when paying through Apple Pay? Why doesn’t Apple Pay display the cardholders name on the card shown on the screen so that we can confirm it with an ID?

For the 5G Network Slicing Traffic Category defined by the IOS 17: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/bundleresources/entitlements/com_apple_developer_networking_slicing_trafficcategory?changes=latest_major&language=ob_8 May I know more details, better with providing me the reference link, on the following questions, How this ID is being handled by the network? What’s the flow & impact of this ID when registering the 5G SA network? Any profile is being downloaded from the network to the handheld device to control the slice?? That ID is carry along the way up to the BBU/Cell sites and the ID is identified by the cell sites for specific handling of that slice?

I had a post in the forums explaining this problem and its solution but someone more concerned with which version of the software was used than whether the post addressed a problem removed it. So I'm posting it here again so the next time someone has this problem they can find it (hopefully). If Apple took its UX development as seriously as they do their curation of forums posts this would be a non-issue. Original post: No matter what I do, the Mail app continues to send the wrong name when I reply to an email. This is incredibly frustrating and I'm hoping someone can suggest something I haven't already tried. What I've tried so far: Contacts I've edited my contact card to not have the wrong name anywhere. Notably, searching for the wrong name still brings up my contact card. Even though it doesn't show in any fields. Mail settings I've gone into Settings->Mail->Accounts and ensured the Name field has only the correct name. iCloud settings I've gone to icloud.com, opened the Mail app, and clicked the gear icon to bring up settings. The right name is listed there. I'm pulling my hair out trying to find where this name is hidden. I would rather it not add any name to my email From line if it can't use the correct one. Solution: in Settings->Mail app->Accounts, make sure you actually enter your name in the fields. If your contact name is there but it's grey, indicating it was the default, this may not be used. Note: I'm putting this under Accessibility and Inclusion because making it difficult or hidden to change your name on email could end up deadnaming someone. Which is not cool. It's bad enough y'all make given name and surname required fields when not everyone in the world uses a surname.

I'm trying to make macOS VoiceOver read some in text in the parent tabview when the child tabview changes tabs. VoiceOver always reads the first text entry in the child sub tab ignoring attempts to switch where the focus is. I've tried these things, in the example textItem is a member of the parent tabview class: .setAccessibilityApplicationFocusedUIElement(textItem) .setAccessibilityFocused(true) Each sub tab is a view controller loaded from a storyboard and I've added code in viewDidAppear to set the accessibility focus. I've also tried using a notification to the parent tab view to set the accessibility focus at the end of the sub tab's viewDidAppear. Nothing seems to work, is there way to actually change the current focused accessibility UI element programmatically? This needs to work on macOS 13 and greater. Here is a rough layout of what I'm trying to accomplish. When the use selects "sub tab 2", I want the text "Text to read first" to be the focus and have VoiceOver read that. What really happens is VoiceOver reads the contents of the sub tab "Feature Name"

when trying to connect to our server - I get an error which occurs only in the app-clip: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1004 "Could not connect to the server." more specifically - I get this error when trying to simulate a slow connection with Network Link Conditioner (LTE / 3G). it only happens on Network Link Conditioner , and only in the app-clip: when I disable the Network Link Conditioner it starts working again. I receive the error quite fast, so it's not a time-out issue. things I've tried (and didn't help): increase time-out period reduce the network requests to 1 at the time. set AllowsArbitraryLoads to true full description of the error: Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1004 "Could not connect to the server."
