Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.

If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.

In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.

All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

The issue is sometimes when entering the dock and then bar could possibly make me downgrade
Only problem is I don’t see an accessible way to do this with the whole Apple silicon thing there’s a whole new way to reset it which doesn’t reset the operating system so I can’t reinstall macOS Ventura

there is a really simple fix for those issues. Turn off and back on VoiceOver.
If that doesn't work, check and uncheck a few times the "allow VoiceOver to be controlled with apple script" check box in the general tab of VO utility. Just make sure it's checked after you do that.
if this still doesn't fix the issue, I would recommend reporting that to apple.
Hope this helps.

I unchecked that insistent settings
I thought I would uncheck bet I would just have to wait until a stable version of macOS Ventura came out
I might need to use a billable disc to downgrade, which is gonna be absolute pain considering my MacBook only has a USB port
And USBUSB flash drive adapters I don’t know where I’ll be able to find them in my shopping centres
Dammit if only we could just go back to the old days but just I’d really parcel Intel processes but add Apple silicon as backup processes in the hardware in case we ever wanted/needed to use them like actually keep them in the motherboard and Logic board in case the Intel processor decided to crash

Hi,
I downloaded the new public beta for Sonoma yesterday. There are some bugs but I can find some work arounds. Also it seams that apple fix the continuous reading issues with pdfs in preview app, though VO can skip some paragraphs which I'll be reporting to apple.
While I’m writing this post, I discovered that navigation in text boxes is broken.
So my question is, do we have smaller Siri voices on Sonoma? They havn’t show up for me yet.
Thanks.
