AccessibilityUIServer
I apologize for any possible mistakes, English is not my native language. When I activated the Voice Commands(AccessibilityUIServer) function, I realized that this was not what I needed and decided to log out. However, I noticed that the function constantly uses the microphone and does not allow you to turn down the volume. I tried to turn it off, but I couldn't find the appropriate switch. To solve this problem, I added a command to turn off the function. After that, the switch appeared. Please add the option to disable the "Voice Commands" function.

ABM Connect Account
I have done federated authentication with MS Entra through ABM. It has not been 60 days since then, but I cannot log in with my existing domain account (personal account). I understand that I can log in with my existing domain account even though the "Apple ID update" notification appears for 60 days. (Automatic domain change after 60 days) We are currently forcing an update. How can I 1) log in with my existing domain account or 2) bring forward the "automatic domain change"?

Bug with my apple developer program
when I log into my developer account (AGV GROUP) developer.apple.com, under my apple id, which successfully opens a connect account, I don’t see my organization - AGV GROUP in the right top menu in the list, I see only those in which I have membership and other organizations - SANZHIRA, the question is where did my account go? and how to restore access to it? in the screenshots I showed that my account is visible in connect and feedback, but it is not visible in developer.apple.com, therefore I cannot renew my subscription developer program and manage even certificates and keys.

iPhone mirroring accessibility feature needed
As disabled man, I find it how to use my iPhone on the Mac. The reason pain is that you have to use a physical keyboard to type messages on your phone. I would like a way where you get over in a grade at the accessible keyboard could do the typing or you could get the iPhone keyboard to pop up whilst mirroring to the computer. I would really like to see this in the next update so we are disabled community can use the iPhone Mirroring to its fullest potential.

UIDatePicker next/previous months keyboard navigation
Hello, I would like to make it possible for keyboard-only users to select the next and previous month buttons in a UIDatePicker, to prevent confusion due to having interactive images in my app which are not interactable with a keyboard. The official documentation only says that the UIDatePicker component is accessible by default, and does not offer information on how to customize the keyboard navigation. Is this possible?

MacOS 15 Beta 2 Bug
Hello everyone, I own a MacBook Air M1, have installed beta 2, since then the memory of the disc is full after logging in. Unfortunately, I can't update to the current beta 4 because it takes too long to download and install. What is the best way to solve the problem? Can something be switched off so that the volume does not fill up completely? Please let me know if you have any questions, thank you in advance for your help. Best regards and have a nice day.

Invert VoiceOver swipe direction in a `UICollectionView`
Hello! I am working on an application with a chat feature. The chat is implemented using a UICollectionView. The content in our chat grows from the bottom and upwards, as is standard (like for instance the Messages app), with the most recent item being shown at the bottom. We have implemented this using a "hack", flipping the collection view upside-down by using a transform, and flipping the content views of the cells upside down again. This works nicely; the only remaining problem is ensuring that elements are read in the correct order for users with VoiceOver enabled. Standard behaviour with VoiceOver enabled for collection views is that swiping right moves focus to the next element, while swiping left moves focus to the previous element. Despite the collectionView being inverted (upside-down) swiping right with VoiceOver enabled moves focus to the element above, while swiping left moves focus to the element below. Is there any way to invert this behaviour? I have looked at subclassing the collection view and overriding accessibilityIncrement and accessibilityDecrement, but it did not have any effect. It seems the standard collection view accessibility container implementation does not call these methods.

Eye Tracking Programming Help
Hello, I've downloaded the iOS 18 Beta on my iPhone 13 to be able to test the functionality of Eye Tracking. As far as I can tell, I and others are having an issue with its functionality. It's glitchy and doesn't react correctly to eye position. Example: I'm looking at the "Dwell Control" selection in the settings and my phone thinks that I'm looking at "Snap to Item" or "Auto-Hide." I've watched others testing this and they also say that it's still glitchy to the point of being unusable. On top of that, I also wanted to test its functionality within one of our apps and none of the buttons are recognized as "Snap to." The only apps that recognize it are Apple apps. Is this expected? In short, how are we as programmers supposed to be able to test with this iOS version and this specific functionality if it still isn't working properly? And, will it even work for our own apps?
