Critical Bug: Photos Turn Completely Black After Editing on macOS Tahoe (25A5295e)
I’ve encountered a critical issue in macOS Tahoe (Beta) that affects the Photos app or any app that leverages Apple’s editing frameworks. After editing certain photos—whether applying filters, cropping, or making basic adjustments—the image suddenly turns completely black upon saving or exiting the edit mode. Details: macOS Version: macOS Tahoe (latest beta) Affected App(s): Photos, Preview, and some third-party editing apps Steps to Reproduce: Open a photo in the Photos app Make any basic edit (e.g., crop, adjust brightness) Click “Done” The edited photo appears entirely black Notes: Happens with both JPEG and HEIC formats Original photo appears fine before editing Exporting the photo also results in a black image Restarting the app/system does not resolve the issue iCloud Photos is enabled This issue seems related to the image rendering pipeline post-editing, possibly tied to Core Image or GPU rendering frameworks. It severely affects photo usability and could result in permanent data loss if backups are not maintained. Please advise if a workaround exists or if this bug has been logged already. Happy to provide system logs or sample images if needed.

General question about use of disassembled Apple products.
If I want to display my corporations digital position would it be considered legal to use an iPhone SIM card reader as it seems to have a “data” point that hints at the idea of stabilization of intelligence that be found both off line and online. I did a little research and it said Apples proprietary patents are referring to the size, ejection, magnetic trigger etc which leads me to want to know if the idea of using a SIM card reader to position the corporation as it uses a $USD specimen data file to position the idea of the corporation into a tangible format. The part I’m referring to is the iPhone 11 sim tray and reader. The picture refers to the idea of the point on the back being similar to the ***** eye as something similar to the dollar seal. I want to be a winner in the industry, I’ve got 50 plus “winner web domains” to bring to life and it’s time to buckle down and evolve the digital economy but first I want to validate the legality of me using disassembled Apple products to configure a “digital unit” that displays a “cyber analog”.

APPLE STOCKS
Hi I was thinking, wouldn’t it be awesome if Apple had a stock app? I know, it might sound crazy, but honestly, it would be a fantastic addition to their finance section! Imagine having a wallet, Apple credit card, and a stock app all in one place. In my opinion, that could totally revolutionize everything!

Internet Sharing Wi-Fi starts as open network despite WPA2/WPA3 password configuration
On recent versions of macOS (including current betas), when enabling Internet Sharing from Ethernet to Wi-Fi, the configured WPA2/WPA3 password is ignored and the shared network is broadcast as an open (unsecured) network. Steps to Reproduce: Connect Mac to Ethernet via USB/LAN adapter Go to System Settings > General > Sharing > Internet Sharing Set up Wi-Fi options with a valid WPA2/WPA3 password Enable Internet Sharing Expected Behavior: Devices should see a password-protected Wi-Fi network with a lock icon and require authentication. Actual Behavior: The network appears unsecured (no lock icon) Devices like iPhone connect without entering a password This can be verified immediately from iOS Wi-Fi settings Additional Notes: Reproducible across macOS 15.5 RC and 16.0,26.0 Developer Beta Feedback has been submitted via Feedback Assistant multiple times This is a serious security risk if used in public or shared environments Has anyone else experienced this? Any known workarounds besides terminal-level defaults or Plist edits? Thanks in advance!

Can't Install WatchOS 26.1 beta 2
Beta two keeps hanging during the download process and says connect to wifi (which I am) or after hours it may download the beta 1.4gb file only to have to freeze in next processing step. I have tried all the resets, reinstalling both the watch and the phone running OS26.1 Beta 2 etc. The impact is the watch and the current software implementation is only getting a couple hours of battery usages before going dead

Network filtering/VPN configurations not working
Hello, I'm experiencing issues with multiple apps on macOS related to network-related tasks. FIrst, I had problems with the network filter on Avast security. It told me to allow net work filtering, so I pressed the popup button that said allow filtering, but did nothing and gave me a error. Later on, on Nord VPN didnt work aswell, when I had to grant permission to configure a VPN. It didn't even give me a description of the error, just said something went wrong. I contacted NordVPN support, which didnt do anything exept for telling me to uninstall avast and restart my mac, which I did but was useless. Please help me.

Any Sample Financial Reports?
Hey, I'm pre-launch, and can't find any sample financial reports. Really need to see exactly what apple sends out to finish my backend. Anyone have a sample report, or willing to share one of their reports privately. (Promise to keep it private and destroy after use). I'm interested in exact format, not your sales. Particularly interested in reports from people using in app sales and discount offer codes. But that's a bonus. Thank you.

SSC Distinguished Winner here😃! I created the1st game 100 % using Apple Pencil to interact. Interested in joining our DC?
Hey everyone, I'm beyond excited to share that I've been selected as a Distinguished Winner in this year's Swift Student Challenge! 🎉 It all started last summer, in the middle of a Western Culture class. I was zoning out , and my attention drifted to the Apple Pencil in my hand. And then ,it hit me — this thing is literally a next-level game controller. Think about it: pixel-perfect precision, haptic feedback, multiple built-in sensors... Why aren't we using this for gaming? And that got me thinking — why have we spent the last 500 years treating the "pencil" as just a tool for creation, and not for play? Since graphite pencils were invented in 1564, we've had this incredibly natural way to interact with 2D and 3D space... and nobody's fully tapped into it for games. So, I did something about it. I built a game that's 100% controlled by the Apple Pencil yep, just the Pencil. I know what you're thinking: "How does that even work??" And honestly, I'd love to tell you... but I'm in the final stages of getting it onto the App Store, and it should be live within the next couple of weeks. So for now... 🤐😄 In the meantime, I've set up a Discord server for anyone who's curious about the gameplay, the design, or just wants to brainstorm ideas with me. If you're into creative controls, game design, or just want to hang — come join the conversation! [Join the Discord here!] https://discord.gg/5Rm8WKbekf Can't wait to share more soon!

iOS 26 - S/MIME Encryption / Certificates
Hi everyone. Since the update to iOS 26, we are no longer able to tap the person's name and view the certificate of a signed email and choose to install the certificate or remove it. This has always worked just fine but seems to be broken on iOS 26 and I have verified that it does not work on iOS 26.1 beta as well. The part that is strange is it does work just fine on an iPad running iPad OS 26. This makes it impossible to send encrypted emails to someone via the mail app on an iPhone. I have found a temporary workaround which is to install Outlook for iOS and install the certificates through that app which then allows me to send encrypted emails via Outlook. This appears to be a bug just with the iPhone as I have also seen a few other people online talking about the same problem. Has anyone found a solution to this?

CarPlay Image Issue on iPhone 17?
Has anyone else had any issued with their CarPlay with the new phone? My screen gets distorted and you cannot make up anything that shows up on it, it's specific to the new phone since I have also tried it with an iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 13. I have updated my car's firmware, reset it, reset my phone settings (per Apple's request) and nothing seems to be working, and unfortunately since I'm on the beta they are limited with the assistance they are able to provide to me.

iPad 13 (M3 (Cellular)) Bug Problem
I would like to know if this problem only affects me or others as well. Since the latest version of iPadOS, my eSIM no longer works, or rather, I have no mobile data. It worked with the previous version, but since I updated, mobile data (Internet) no longer works. When I open Safari, the window " Mobile data network could not be activated. You do not have a mobile data plan. Use Wi-Fi or open the mobile data options in "Settings". Any Recommendations? Thank you all

IOS 26.4 Beta 1 CarPlay Smart Zoom
I just installed IOS 26.4 Beta 1 and on my 2023 Ram i get the Edit Pages option on the bottom. This happened when I first installed IOS 26 and the solution was to go to Display settings in CarPlay and turn off the Smart Zoom. After this latest install the Edit Pages is back and I no longer have the Smart Zoom option to turn off

System Data
System data is beyond a joke now. There constant logs being generated and stored somewhere with zero access and ability to delete or clear up. I’ve even tried changing the date hack, however this just created some space from system but mostly just unloaded my apps (a feature which I’ve now disabled, as virtually everything is unloaded now apart from essential items). Apple support says wipe and start again, I’m sure that’s not a solution? Anyone figured out how to resolve this? Also you can’t even force videos into the cloud, frustrating when I’ve got no space and pay for iCloud and have zero space left on my phone. It’s suppose to be intelligent.
