How to include clickable image in apple news template.
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.

Video controls like pause/resume are not working when voiceover is on in IOS .
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.

Remove my Apple id from the Apple developer site
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

Model and Text Overlap Issue in Vision Pro App After GitHub Push
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?

Non UI Wallet Extension
I have created wallet non UI extension for adding card through wallet. It's working perfect when I open wallet from iPhone. But when I open wallet from Watch app (Watch bridge app on iPhone not on physical apple watch) then my extension (issuer app) is not showing there. Any idea if I need to setup or configure anything to access extension through watch bridge app wallet?

Unreliable Accessibility API behavior when interacting with Microsoft Teams app
I'm developing a macOS app that interacts with Microsoft Teams using the Accessibility API. I've noticed inconsistent behavior when querying UI elements, particularly for the mute button. My queries often fail, while system tools like VoiceOver can consistently access these elements (which are visible on the screen). In some cases, it works well, but in others, the UI elements are not visible from my code. When I try Accessibility Inspector, it also initially fails to inspect. However, the Inspector seems to have some "magical" power that, when I run it or via AX audit, appears to refresh the AX tree, and then my code occasionally works as well. Given that VoiceOver can consistently read the screen, I assume the issue is not with the Microsoft Teams app itself (assuming it's based on Electron/React). I am mentioning this, because when I interact with Zoom app, reading the mute status from the app's menu bar, its 100% working anytime. What would you recommend I try or explore to improve reliability? Can I refresh the apps' AX tree from my end from swift? Is that a bug in AX API or even in Microsoft Teams? (have ready example and demo video, but it does not let me upload here)

Expose ContextMenu as annoucable
I have a list of items that have swipe actions that I'd like to hide from accessibility and make actions available via the AccessibilityActions modifier. Additionally, I would like to make the contextMenu annoucable as an action. This behavior exists in the Apple Podcasts app but can't find out to do it in SwiftUI. If the users knows to use the triple-tap, they can activate the context menu but have it as an action of the element is even better.

2.0 System Controls In Immersive Space
How do I enable the system hand controls within an immersive space? I have an ImmersiveScene and would like to enable the new 2.0 system controls like the home button and volume slider. ImmersiveSpace(id: appModel.immersiveSpaceID) { ImmersiveView() } .immersionStyle(selection: .constant(.full), in: .full) .upperLimbVisibility(.visible) While I can see my hands and arms in this view, I cannot get the "New Hand Gestures" to show up when on visionOS 2.0. When I leave the immersive space, they appear.

Disable Inappropriate Content Warnings in Writing Tools
I’ve noticed that the writing tools frequently display content warnings for certain topics, often more than seems necessary, and I would love to see a way to disable them in my app. Specifically, I have encountered many situations where mentioning LGBTQ topics triggers a content warning and temporarily blocks the user, while similar mentions of heterosexual topics do not. For example: Triggers Content Warning: “I’ve been listening to this song on repeat yesterday and today haha. It’s really nice that it’s about being homosexual ~u~” “I’ve been listening to this song on repeat yesterday and today haha. It’s really nice that it’s about being *** ~u~” Does Not Trigger Content Warning: “I’ve been listening to this song on repeat yesterday and today haha. It’s really nice that it’s about being heterosexual ~u~” “I’ve been listening to this song on repeat yesterday and today haha. It’s really nice that it’s about being straight ~u~” This inconsistency not only introduces unnecessary friction when discussing diverse topics but may also inadvertently suggest that LGBTQ topics are inappropriate or immoral. Such an implication could be harmful to many users, especially young adults, by reinforcing negative perceptions of LGBTQ issues. I believe it’s important for the AI writing tools to handle all topics equitably to promote inclusivity and diversity. And would love to be able to disable these warnings in my app. here’s a video showcasing the example prompts above: https://share.icloud.com/photos/0bdGPxy2xmGZT2ildAU4ThERQ

since having updated my iPad with subject title update, I can no longer type French accents with my magic keyboard. The toggle between English and French is there, the actual key type is no longer available.
