Iphone 15 battery dropping fast
So , i have bought my Iphone 15 in the release week . Since the beginning i’ve noticed some overheating but i brushed it off since so many people were having it , but i still feel like it overheats especially when using the camera and making calls. 10 months later , my battery health is at 88% at 308 cycles , which would be 1 charge per day . Im worried its dropping too fast tbh and i wanted to know if this is normal .

Sequoia Bugs and issues
I have a 2019 MacBook Pro intel chip radeon pro 5500 gpu I installed sequoia 15 last night and woke up to a completely dead battery. After finally getting a charge I noticed that my fans are running non stop. The only way I was able to get a charge was to power directly to my MacBook and not through my docking station like I have previously been able to. It shows that it is connected to a power adapter but the battery is not charging. After dealing with that I decided to swap back to Sonoma. I am getting the preflight error upon recovery startup as well as when I have to agree to the licensing terms there are no terms there to approve. I repaired the startup disk and still had the same issue. I rebooted the laptop and tried to utilize the App Store and was getting the error for Sonoma cannot be installed on the current OS. this has literally taken almost five hours of just trying to swap back to the other operating system and I still have not been able to.

About the DockKit API in iOS 18
We are experimenting with the DockKit API in iOS 18. However, we are unable to retrieve the speakingConfidence, lookingAtCameraConfidence, and saliencyRank for the person being tracked. We are able to get the rect and identifier. Has anyone been able to retrieve speakingConfidence, lookingAtCameraConfidence, and saliencyRank?

Side Car Issue
I am trying to use Sidecar with my iPad and Mac. For some reason, it works when I am using my personal User but not when I switch over to my work User account. Both accounts share the same Apple ID, both are admins on my computer. I even tried logging out of my personal where it works to see if that was the issue, but it still does not let my iPad connect when on my Work User.

Using ECP to select HCE application (EU)
Hi! We have a application that uses HCE to communicate with our readers. Everything works very nicely together, but from usability point of view there is an issue when one uses our app and apple pay together. One needs to choose which one is default contactless app. We did some research and see that ECP protocol enhancements to NFC might be useful here and a re wondering if there is a possibility that the user has Apple pay enabled as default contactless application. But on presentation of the iPhone on our reader we would use ECP to choose our app to process the action. Mind that our app is related to access control and not payments. Regards Simon

How to Programmatically Obtain the Current System Firmware Version in macOS Using C++ Without Using System Profiler
The current system firmware version is reported by System Profiler as "SPHardwareDataType". System firmware versions are also reported (as "Boot ROM") in diagnostics logs, but here they are the system firmware versions at the time the logs were generated - not necessarily the current system firmware version. Is there a way to programmatically obtain the current system firmware version in macOS using C++ without using System Profiler?

RAW photos- unable to load Photo problem
Hi, I need help with an issue. I have 400 vacation photos in RAW format on my phone that I can’t edit, share, or open because I receive the following messages: • Cannot Load Photo. There was an error loading this photo. • Unable to Share. There was an error while preparing to share. Please try again later. • Unable to Load Photo. An error occurred while loading a higher-quality version of this photo. Additionally, each photo affected by this issue is marked with an exclamation mark inside a circle in the lower right corner. Here is a detailed description of the problem: I can’t edit or share any of the RAW format photos. The problem persists regardless of whether I have internet access or not because the affected photos aren’t syncing with iCloud and can’t be shared. Even if I disconnect from the internet (airplane mode) and take a new photo, I still can’t use it. (I’m sharing a video from YouTube.) The photos are physically on the phone, the system recognizes them, and they occupy space, but when I connect the phone to a computer, the computer doesn’t see these photos. These photos cannot be uploaded to iCloud. The syncing status remains unchanged. To preempt any questions—I have a very good WiFi connection and 5G network. What I’ve tried to fix the problem: I reset the phone—didn’t help. I reset the Photos app—didn’t help. I updated the iOS system (I have the latest version)—didn’t help. Low Power Mode is not enabled. I have enough free space on my phone (150 GB available) and on iCloud (50 GB available). Please help, these photos are very important to me. YouTube wideo with problem Best regards. Patras

External Accessory Bluetooth iPad app does not work on Silicon Mac
I'm using the External Accessory API to communicate with Bluetooth MFI device in my iOS app. It works perfect on iPhone/iPad, but does not work when I run the app on a M1/M2 Silicon Mac. The code I use is: EAAccessoryManager accessoryManager = EAAccessoryManager.SharedAccessoryManager; EAAccessory[] accessories = accessoryManager.ConnectedAccessories; The supported accessory protocols are properly defined in info.plist. This code works perfect on iOS devices, but always returns 0 connected accessories when app is executed on a M1/M2 silicon Mac. Is there something that I have to add to info.plist?

Critical software update required, but an error was encountered...Macbook Pro Touchbar 15 inch 2016
Recently I encountered this error. I researched and discovered that many people had the same error as me. I tried everything and almost all the instructions didn't fix it completely. I think it's related to the Touchbar. So is there any instructions to fix this problem? This incident happened several years ago. Describe the error I encountered: Sometimes it goes to the login screen and the Touchbar appears to work normally. But fingerprint doesn't work Sometimes it displays the Wifi login screen as we know

AccessorySetupKit: cannot scan for BLE devices
Hello everyone, we implemented the AccessorySetupKit successfully and is working but we found an issue or maybe an issue in our implementation: we cannot scan for peripherals in other part of the App with the CBCentralManager, the state is alway Off. Is that intended or maybe we are doing something wrong? In the docs I didn't find nothing about the relation between the Framework and Core Bluetooth and we need to scan for peripherals without showing the user the ASK UI Modal - it would be amazing if ASK could do a silent discovery Appreciate any help!

Login Based on SIM Card Info
We are developing an iOS app where users can log in and access the application. If the user closes the app on the same device, they will remain logged in the next time they open the app. However, if the user changes the SIM card on the same device and then tries to access the application, the app should prompt the user to log in again due to the SIM card change. Please let us know the best solution to achieve this requirement and whether it is feasible to manage the login state based on the SIM card information.

AccessorySetupKit and BLE RRA
Currently (as of iOS 18 dev beta 4), if a BLE device supports RRA and the MAC address changes while the ASAccessorySession's picker is displayed a second entry is added to the picker (usually without a friendly name). Once in this state one picker item will work, the other will display a "Cannot Add Accessory" error. Are there any plans to improve this user experience in AccessorySetupKit or do you have any recommendations on how to better handle this use case? We currently have a work around for this in our existing pairing flow but it does not translate to ASDiscoveryDescriptor as it requires comparing previous BLE advertisements.

Does anyone else have a black screen with loading image every few minutes
Ever since I went and upgraded my system to the newest iOS I kept experiencing this and my system becomes unresponsive hence when this spiral black screen occurs all my apps freeze and then stop working after it ends and the icons don't show for the app for a few seconds. I am on my iPhone 13 Pro Max and it has 1tb of storage. I wanted to ask is there any way I can fix this, I’ve been having a black screen every day since iOS 15 it was only at least once a day. Now it’s every few minutes.
