Dear Support Team, ​I am writing to seek technical assistance regarding a persistent issue with Dolby Vision exporting in DaVinci Resolve 20 on my iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2021, M1 chip) running iPadOS 26.0.1. ​The Issue: Despite correctly configuring the project for a Dolby Vision workflow and successfully completing the dynamic metadata analysis, the "Dolby Vision Profile" dropdown menu (and related embedding options) is completely missing from the Advanced Settings in the Deliver page. ​My Current Configuration & Steps Taken: ​Software Version: DaVinci Resolve Studio 20 (Studio features like Dolby Vision analysis are active and functional). ​Project Settings: Color Science: DaVinci YRGB Color Managed. ​Dolby Vision: Enabled (Version 4.0) with Mastering Display set to 1000 nits. ​Output Color Space: Rec.2100 ST2084. ​Color Page: Dynamic metadata analysis has been performed, and "Trim" controls are functional. ​Export Settings: ​Format: QuickTime / MP4. ​Codec: H.265 (HEVC). ​Encoding Profile: Main 10. ​The Problem: Under "Advanced Settings," there is no option to select a Dolby Vision Profile (e.g., Profile 8.4) or to "Embed Dolby Vision Metadata." ​Potential Variables: ​System Version: I am currently running iPadOS 26. ​Apple ID: My iPad is currently not logged into an Apple ID. I suspect this might be preventing the app from accessing certain system-level AVFoundation frameworks or Dolby DRM/licensing certificates required for metadata embedding. ​Could you please clarify if the "Dolby Vision Profile" option is dependent on a signed-in Apple ID for hardware-level encoding authorization, or if this is a known compatibility issue with the current iPadOS 26 build? ​I look forward to your guidance on how to resolve this. ​Best regards, INSOFT_Fred

I’m experiencing a strange issue with the App Switcher on my iPad. When I swipe up from the bottom to open the App Switcher, the apps that should be running sometimes don’t appear — they briefly flash for a split second and then disappear. The App Switcher itself stays open, but it shows no app cards. Here are some details: Device: iPad Pro (11-inch, 2nd generation) iPadOS version: 26.0.1 Reproducibility: Happens intermittently Steps to reproduce: Open several apps. Swipe up from the bottom and pause to show the App Switcher. Sometimes, the app cards flash for a moment and then disappear, leaving the App Switcher empty. Expected behavior: The App Switcher should display all running apps consistently. Actual behavior: The App Switcher appears, but the app cards briefly flash and disappear, leaving a blank screen. I’ve seen a few similar reports on the Apple Support Community, but I’m not sure if this is a known issue in iPadOS 26.0.1. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Any confirmations or workarounds would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Since the beta releases of iPadOS 26 we have been having some crashes about Invalid parameter not satisfying: parentEnvironment != nil We got to contact a couple of users and we found out that the crash appears when entering a screen in a UINavigationController with the iPad device connected to a Magic Keyboard. If the device is not connected to the keyboard then nothing happens and everything works ok. From our end we haven't managed to reproduce the crash so I am pasting part of the stacktrace if it can be of any help. 3 UIKitCore 0x19dfd2e14 -[_UIFocusContainerGuideFallbackItemsContainer

FB21772424 On any iPhone or iPad running 26.3 beta 3 with UIFileSharingEnabled enabled via Xcode, a file cannot be manually copied to/from macOS or manually deleted from Finder but 26.3 beta 2 works fine running on any iPhone or iPad. The version of macOS is irrelevant as both macOS 26.2.1 and macOS 26.3 beta 3 are unable to affect file changes via macOS Finder on iPhone or iPad running 26.3 beta 3 but can affect file changes via macOS Finder on iPhone or iPad running 26.2.1 Thank you.

I had take screenshots by following code let scenes = UIApplication.shared.connectedScenes let windowScene = scenes.first as? UIWindowScene let window = windowScene?.windows.first self.uiImage = window?.rootViewController?.view!.getImage(rect: rect) View has two views. One is ImageView contains some image and overlay of image detection results with .overlay. another view is InfoView contains several info and button which above code fired. on iOS 17, I can take screenshots as I saw, but on iOS26, missing on image of ImageView. Overlay(detected rectangle) in Imageview and InfView can be taken. How can I take screenshots as I saw on iOS26?(iPad)

Hello， We’re seeing an iPad-specific Launch Screen issue related to multitasking window sizes. Environment Device: iPad (iPadOS 26) Device orientation: Landscape App is launched in a small window where the app window is portrait-shaped (width < height) Issue When the iPad is in landscape but the app is launched as a portrait-shaped small window, the LaunchScreen.storyboard appears to be rendered/layouted as landscape, not matching the actual window geometry. As a result, the Launch Screen content is clipped / partially missing (we see blank/empty area at the bottom during launch). After the app finishes launching, our first view controller uses the correct window size and the UI looks fine — the problem is mainly during the Launch Screen phase. What we checked LaunchScreen.storyboard uses Auto Layout and is expected to adapt to screen/window size. This only reproduces when the device orientation and the app window aspect ratio don’t match (landscape device + portrait-shaped app window, or vice versa). When device orientation and window shape are aligned, the Launch Screen displays correctly. Question Is it expected that iPadOS renders LaunchScreen.storyboard based on the interface orientation / size class rather than the actual window bounds in multitasking scenarios? If not expected, what is the recommended way to ensure the Launch Screen matches the app’s actual window size/aspect ratio at launch (without using code, since Launch Screen is static)? Are there any additional diagnostics or recommended steps to help us investigate and confirm the root cause (e.g., specific logs, APIs/values to capture at launch such as UIWindowScene bounds, interfaceOrientation, size classes, or any guidance on how Launch Screen snapshots are chosen/cached in multitasking)? Thank you.

When you use .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "placeholder", in: placehoder)) for navigation animation, going back using the swipe gesture is still very buggy on IOS26. I know it has been mentioned in other places like here: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/796805?answerId=856846022#856846022 but nothing seems to have been done to fix this issue. Here is a video showing the bug comparing when the back button is used vs swipe to go back: https://imgur.com/a/JgEusRH I wish there was a way to at least disable the swipe back gesture until this bug is fixed.

👋Hi This problem is related to SSC. I remember that the form submitted last year needed to be filled in with Xcode or Playground test, and it seems that it was also mentioned: • If you use Xcode, the judges may use Simulator to run. • If you use Playground, it's a real machine. But my work this time will encounter two limitations: It will use the framework/API only available in iPadOS 26 (so if it is a Playground environment, it may not run, playground can't use iPadOS 26 SDK) It will also use some content that must be real to run (such as ARKit), which means that Xcode Simulator is not good. So I would like to ask: Does this year's review allow you to compile and connect the iPad to the real machine? Or did I misremember last year's regulations? If the judge's environment is fixed (for example, only Playground or only Simulator), how should I adjust the submission method or implement the scheme? Looking forward to your reply, thank you.

Hello everyone, When I press Control + Space on my Bluetooth keyboard to trigger input method switching, the accessory view fails to appear. This prevents me from quickly identifying the current input method type. Upon inspecting the View Hierarchy, I noticed that UICursorAccessoryView is not being created. For context, my input method responder inherits from UIResponder and conforms to the UITextInputTraits, UIKeyInput, and UITextInput protocols. The accessory view displays normally during accented input and Chinese input. Could you please guide me on how to troubleshoot this issue?

I would like to share an issue observed during app development. When changing Bluetooth settings from the system Settings app without using multitasking, the app does not terminate but instead logs the user out. However, when changing Bluetooth settings while using multitasking, the app terminates completely. In this context, I would like to understand: Whether there is any system behavior that causes the app to refresh or restart when Bluetooth settings are changed And why the app behavior differs in a multitasking environment, particularly in terms of app lifecycle handling Any insights into these behaviors would be greatly appreciated. “while using multitasking” means reducing the app’s size and displaying it side by side with the Settings screen at the same time. For better understanding, I will attach an image. Additionally, I found that YouTube also terminates when the “Allow Tracking” permission is changed in Settings while using the multitasking interface.

Dear Apple Support, We are experiencing an issue where iPhone-only apps (marked as "Designed for iPhone" in the App Store) are not appearing at all in the App Store on newer iPads running iPadOS 26.2 (A16 chip model), including in managed distributions via Apple Business Manager. The app in question is X App, and it works fine on older iPads with previous iPadOS versions. Is there a policy change or stricter enforcement starting from iPadOS 18 or later that prevents iPhone-only apps from being searchable, visible, or assignable on iPad devices (especially supervised/managed ones)? If yes, does the developer need to update the app to Universal or add explicit iPad compatibility in App Store Connect for it to become available again? We would appreciate any official reference or confirmation on this behavior. Thank you for your assistance.

Hello everyone, I have an app that is used in the education sector for high stakes assessment testing. I reviewed a lot of the WWDC2025 information in June, however, it seems we missed something critical in the What's new in UIKIt presentation. That would be the deprecation of UIRequiresFullScreen. We currently use this in our app and have been using it since iOS/iPad OS 9 when our app was written. The deprecation of this property has caused some major issues in our layout. Keep in mind we are a hybrid app so our mobile app is self-hosting a fullscreen version of WKWebView under the hood. This is common across assessment developers in the education sector. I removed the property and went through the migration guide (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technotes/tn3192-migrating-your-app-from-the-deprecated-uirequiresfullscreen-key) and it doesn't appear to be straight forward on how to lock the orientation in landscape. I tried several different approaches: Requesting the screen orientation lock we had issues where if a user launched it in portrait it would be locked to portrait but we would want to update the display to shift it to landscape as a business requirement supporting both landscape right and landscape left. We also tried overriding the method supportedInterfaceOrientations and utilizing the .landscape enum with no success. It fires just fine but nothing takes effect. Backwards compatibility support there is no guidance on backwards compatibility support and Xcode wants us to do an availability check when using some of the new methods for updating geometry. What is the guidance in this case because we support back to iPadOS 16.0 as a business requirement. Can anyone give us some insight as we are current trying to get ahead of this while 26.3 is still in beta as this would affect our customers deeply because of the UI jank we get as a result of this deprecation.

Hello, I would like guidance on how to correctly release an app using Unlisted App Distribution. We have an iPad-only app that is intended for a limited and specific audience (not for public discovery on the App Store). We do not want the app to be searchable on the App Store, but only accessible via a direct link shared with approved users. Could you please clarify: The correct steps in App Store Connect to submit and release an app as Unlisted Whether approval for Unlisted App Distribution is required before submission, and how to request it Any specific App Review notes or documentation that should be provided during submission Common reasons apps are rejected for Unlisted App Distribution and how to avoid them The app does not use Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager, and is not intended for public distribution. Thank you for your guidance.

👋Hi, I want to ask what equipment the auditors in SSC will use to evaluate students' playground, whether it is iPad pro and mac with camera, or something else. And what system will they use, iPadOS/macOS 26 or something else? Looking forward to your reply. Thank you

I've been playing around with iPad PRO M5 13" as part of my goal to implement some music relating SPH particle simulation effects on it - and this involves utilizing tap events also from the incredible looking fresh screen the device has. See more information from here, all should be overreactively implemented but the ideas remain (with almost zero cost copy fragment shader) : `https://youtu.be/ci-GSgQ0wlM` This attached image shows the tap effects implementation brought just bit a little further than in the video.

I've been playing around with the recently published iPad PRO M5 13" and it's awesome in most ways I've been able to think of. But this video capture of the app I'm developing, for example, lacks it the app icon "should" be just slightly translucent as I see it. https://youtube.com/CAukICBrVzw However I'm not and UI/X person and this is primarily my personal preference only for an option to allow for devs.

Dear Apple, while implementing Declared Age Range API in my app, I've noticed a mistake in documentation: the isEligibleForAgeFeatures property is marked 26.0+ in documentation, but 26.2+ in Xcode, which ultimately leads to inability to use it with OS below 26.2. Moreover, I'm thoroughly confused by this quote from documentation: This flag returns true on iOS and iPadOS based on a person’s eligibility and always returns false on macOS. It leads me to two questions: Is it possible to use Declared Age Range API for macOS apps? Will it be possible to use it in future? Will there be any changes regarding this matter in a meantime (especially after Jan 1st)? If yes - when should we expect these changes? If no - why this API declares macOS 26+ support alongside iOS/iPadOS, if it simply doesn't work for macOS now? As of now, my iOS app works flawlessly with given API (on iOS 26.2) while macOS app returns isEligibleForAgeFeatures = false and requestAgeRange request always throws AgeRangeService.Error.notAvailable. Also, does it mean that one should not use isEligibleForAgeFeatures boolean while implementing Declared Age Range API for apps below iOS 26.2 (I mean 26.0+)? Or implementing given API for iOS 26.2+ is a sufficient way to go? So shouldn't the whole API be marked as 26.2+? The minimum iOS version in my app is 16.0 and minimum macOS version is 13.0 anyway, so the significant part of users is left out of these updates, but the main goal here is legal compliance.

Hello, We are experiencing a behavior change with WKWebView related to upgradeKnownHostsToHTTPS. Current application, we explicitly disable automatic HTTPS upgrades: let config = WKWebViewConfiguration() config.upgradeKnownHostsToHTTPS = false Observed behavior iOS 17.5 (built with Xcode 15.3) http:// image URLs are not automatically upgraded to https://, and the behavior works as expected. iOS 18.5 / 18.6.x (built with Xcode 16.4) http:// image URLs appear to be automatically upgraded to https:// by WebKit, even when upgradeKnownHostsToHTTPS is explicitly set to false. This behavior occurs for subresource requests such as <img src="http://..."> inside a WKWebView. Question Has the behavior of upgradeKnownHostsToHTTPS changed in iOS 18 / Xcode 16? Is this property now ignored for certain types of subresource requests (e.g. images), or overridden by new WebKit security policies such as mixed-content HTTPS upgrades? Any clarification or official guidance would be greatly appreciated!.

I work on a universal app that targets both iPhone and iPad. Our iPad app currently requires full screen. When testing on the latest iPadOS 26 beta, we see the following warning printed to the console: Update the Info.plist: 1) `UIRequiresFullScreen` will soon be ignored. 2) Support for all orientations will soon be required. It will take a fair amount of effort to update our app to properly support presentation in a resizable window. We wanted to gauge how urgent this change is. Our testing has shown that iPadOS 26 supports our app in a non-resizable window. Can someone from Apple provide any guidance as to how soon “soon” is? Will UIRequiresFullScreen be ignored in iPadOS 26? Will support for all orientations be required in iPadOS 26?

Is the Cancel button intentionally removed from UISearchBar (right side)? Even when using searchController with navigationItem also. showsCancelButton = true doesn’t display the cancel button. Also: When tapping the clear ("x") button inside the search field, the search is getting canceled, and searchBarCancelButtonClicked(_:) is triggered (Generally it should only clear text, not cancel search). If the search text is empty and I tap outside the search bar, the search is canceled. Also when I have tableview in my controller(like recent searches) below search bar and if I try to tap when editing started, action is not triggered(verified in sample too). Just cancellation is happening. In a split view controller, if the search is on the right side and I try to open the side panel, the search also gets canceled. Are these behaviors intentional changes, beta issues, or are we missing something in implementation?
