IOS 18 displays glitches/ black screen
writing to report a bug I have encountered with iOS 18 On iphone 14 promax During phone calls, the display intermittently becomes black, and the power button becomes unresponsive in turning on the display. As a result, the screen remains black, and touch functionality is unresponsive. This issue disrupts the ability to interact with the phone during calls and unable to forced restart to resolve the issue as power button doesn’t respond as well. I would appreciate any assistance or updates on this matter.

Constant color API improvement
I've experimented quite a bit with the new API designed to neutralize image colors using the iPhone flash, and I think the concept is brilliant. The flash could potentially serve as a substitute for a color checker, given our full control over it. However, I believe there are several areas where this API could be improved. Firstly, the resulting images often appear "unattractive"—colors tend to look faded, and the images themselves can be overly bright and washed out, losing the natural ambiance, shadows, and introducing unwanted flash reflections. There is also inconsistency in color rendering; for example, yellows sometimes appear unnatural, possibly due to reflections. In some cases, all the colors in the image are completely desaturated or become black and white if another light source does not fully illuminate the scene. Additionally, the shadows cast by the flash don't correct the colors properly since they fall outside the flash's range. I think many of these issues could be resolved if we had access to ProRAW images capturing both the ambient light (without flash) and the flash-illuminated scene. With these, we could use specific colors in the image as a reference, similar to a color checker, to create an ICC profile or color transformation matrix to adjust the image colors more globally. This approach could help retain the shadows from the ambient light while still correcting colors to a neutral tone. Access to ProRAW data is crucial for this, as it would provide images without the saturation issues that can affect some colors and with a linear tone curve. I hope this suggestion makes sense and could help improve the API's effectiveness.

Renewed Expired Developer Account, Paid, but still marked as expired
I had previously been enrolled in the Apple Developer Program but because was not releasing apps I let it expire. Now I want to release a new app and need to renew the account. For this I logged in into the developer.apple.com portal and clicked the "Renew membership" button and went thgrought with the purchase, which was successful, and my card was charged and I received the confirmation order email from the apple store. Now my developer account still says it's expired and there is no way to contact support. Does it take a few days to activate?

Cannot contact apple developer support
Hello, I recently purchased an apple developer membership but my account has not been updated to reflect this. When I try to contact apple developer support (either via phone or email) it tells me that the email on my apple account is invalid. I have tried calling regular apple support but they are unable to help me. Is there any other way to get in contact with apple developer support? Thanks

Developer account terminated without warning or explaination
I paid for the developer account and it was terminated after 4 months. Even though I did nothing during those 4 months, the account was still terminated. Apple's letter mentioned that I was in violation of Section 3.2(f): This letter serves as notice of termination of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement (the “ADP Agreement”) and the Apple Developer Agreement (the “Developer Agreement”) between you and Apple effective immediately. Pursuant to Section 3.2(f) of the ADP Agreement, you agreed that you would not “commit any act intended to interfere with any of the Apple Software or Services, the intent of this Agreement, or Apple’s business practices including, but not limited to, taking actions that may hinder the performance or intended use of the App Store, Custom App Distribution, TestFlight, Xcode Cloud, Ad Hoc distribution, or the Program…” Apple has good reason to believe that you violated this Section due to documented indications of fraudulent conduct associated with your account. Apple is exercising its right to terminate your status as an Apple developer pursuant to the Apple Developer Agreement and is terminating you under the ADP Agreement for dishonest and fraudulent acts relating to that agreement. We would like to remind you of your obligations with regard to all software and other confidential information that you obtained from Apple as an Apple developer and under the ADP Agreement. You must promptly cease all use of and destroy such materials and comply with all the other termination obligations set forth in Section 11.3 of the ADP Agreement and Section 10 of the Apple Developer Agreement. If applicable, no further payments will be made to you pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Paid Applications agreement (Schedules 2 and 3 to the ADP Agreement). This letter is not intended to be a complete statement of the facts regarding this matter, and nothing in this letter should be construed as a waiver of any rights or remedies Apple may have, all of which are hereby reserved. Finally, please note that we will deny your reapplication to the Apple Developer Program for at least a year considering the nature of your acts. If you want to file an official complaint pursuant to an applicable Platform Regulation in your country or region you may Contact Us. I sent a support request, saying I didn't do anything so I couldn't violate it. It's quite strange to label me a violation without explaining anything. And after 14 days, this letter came to me: We're contacting you regarding your request to reinstate your Apple Developer Program membership, which was terminated on 08/01/2024. After a thorough evaluation, we're not granting your appeal for reinstatement to the Apple Developer Program. Please note that this decision is final. We will not process subsequent appeals. So I wasted my $99 doing nothing, feel bad that Apple doesn't care about independent developer. Do I have a chance to get that money back now? I know this question is funny, because Apple is always right :)

Enrolment is not happening
To fully review the enrolment, we will need to request additional details. For employment verification, we can accept a headed letter from HR, an employment contract, or payslip. For identity verification for you as the applicant, please provide your government issued ID. Additionally, we’ve been unable to verify an association between the organization name and website URL provided in your enrollment. A valid organization website is required to enroll in the program. uploaded all the documents but till now enrolment is not happening, any idea.

VisionOS 2 Beta 7
I just installed the latest beta of version 2 but when I startup the Vision Pro, I just keep getting the message "Recovery Tracking" and nothing else works. I've tried shutting down and rebooting but the same situation keeps occuring. Anyone have suggestions as to what else to try besides a factory reset? If it's a factory reset, how do I do that without access to any screens on device?

“iOS 18 Developer Beta” not an option?
This is a problem that dates back to a year ago in June 2023. I registered as a Developer (paid the $99), but the option to select “iOS 17 Developer Beta” in Software Update > Beta Updates was not an option. Apple Support couldn’t help me and Developer support doesnt troubleshoot. Well, even though the Developer Betas are open to the public now, it still will not show up as an option. I’ve turned off/on Developer mode, did a hard reset, tried toggling “iOS 18 Public Beta,” tried adding the configuration profile. Nothing has worked. I also learned that Apple cannot delete your developer account (I think thats why the glitch is happening, but I’m not positive). It was suggested to me that I use an iOS 17 backup and restore my device to see if that fixes the problem of the Debeloper Beta not showing up in the dropdown menu for Beta Updates, but because I’ve been on the public beta for the past couple of months, it’s too far and back and that’s no longer an option. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to remedy the situation? Developer support literally said they didn’t know what they could do and encouraged me to come here.

OTA “iOS Developer Beta” Never an Option in Beta Updates…
Since last year, when I was an active developer during the beta rollout of iOS 17, the “iOS 17 Developer Beta” option was not an option to select in the software update dropdown menu. Here we are again this year with iOS 18. I’ve turned off/on Developed mode, hard reset my device, unenrolled and re-enrolled in the Developer Beta program… no dice. It never comes up as an option for me. I do not want to restore my device to an earlier (iOS 17) version as my backup for that iOS version is too old since I’ve been using the iOS 18 public beta for the last couple of months. Not sure how to get this thing to work and display the option on the dropdown menu inside software updates. Additionally, Developer support was no help and directed me here. I also learned you cannot completely delete your apple developer account If you’re registered as an individual developer. Go figure. Any help would be appreciated.

Applied for Apple Developer Enterprise Account on 7th June 2024 – Still Under Review
Hi everyone, I applied for an Apple Developer Enterprise Account on 7th June 2024, but unfortunately, my request is still under review. Apple has called me twice to verify my business details, and I provided all the necessary information. Despite this, there hasn't been any update on the status of my application. Has anyone else faced a similar situation? What steps can I take to expedite the process or retrieve an update on my account status? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
