Overview

Hi, my developer account has been pending for more than 48 hours and I haven't received any followup email as well. Can someone pls provide guidance on this?

I have recently paid for the Apple developer program. I have been trying now for days to get enrolled. I’ve paid my money, but I can’t connect my Apple connect and it says my account is pending. I can’t get anybody on the phone or an email to help me figure out what the problem is. I’m not exactly sure what to do which direction to go at this point if someone could please direct me to somebody that could help me with this I would truly appreciate it. Thank you very much. I’ll be looking forward to working with you all soon. If I could just get my account in order, can somebody please help me with this?.

Some users cannot repurchase a subscription SKU after it has expired. Flow: User previously subscribed. User canceled and the subscription fully expired. After weeks, user reinstalls the app and taps the same SKU. StoreKit does not create a new purchase transaction. Instead, StoreKit always returns the old expired transaction in updatedTransactions. Therefore, the user is permanently unable to purchase the SKU again. We have already tried: Adding payment observer at app launch Calling finishTransaction for all transactions Clearing queue at startup SKReceiptRefreshRequest Server-side verifyReceipt Ensuring subscription is truly expired (not in grace/retry) Not calling restoreCompletedTransactions None of these resolved the issue. StoreKit still only sends the old transaction and never generates a new one. Expected behavior: A new purchase transaction should be created when user taps the expired subscription SKU. Actual behavior: StoreKit repeatedly pushes the old expired transaction, blocking new purchases. We can provide: Some users cannot repurchase a subscription SKU after it has expired.

The zoom navigation transition with matchedTransitionSource in tabViewBottomAccessory does not work when a Published var in an ObservableObjector Observable gets changed. Here is an minimal reproducible example with ObservableObject: import SwiftUI import Combine private final class ViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var isPresented = false } struct ContentView: View { @Namespace private var namespace @StateObject private var viewModel = ViewModel() // @State private var isPresented = false var body: some View { TabView { Button { viewModel.isPresented = true } label: { Text("Start") } .tabItem { Image(systemName: "house") Text("Home") } Text("Search") .tabItem { Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass") Text("Search") } Text("Profile") .tabItem { Image(systemName: "person") Text("Profile") } } .sheet(isPresented: $viewModel.isPresented) { Text("Sheet") .presentationDragIndicator(.visible) .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "tabViewBottomAccessoryTransition", in: namespace)) } .tabViewBottomAccessory { Button { viewModel.isPresented = true } label: { Text("BottomAccessory") } .matchedTransitionSource(id: "tabViewBottomAccessoryTransition", in: namespace) } } } However, when using only a State property everything works: import SwiftUI import Combine private final class ViewModel: ObservableObject { @Published var isPresented = false } struct ContentView: View { @Namespace private var namespace // @StateObject private var viewModel = ViewModel() @State private var isPresented = false var body: some View { TabView { Button { isPresented = true } label: { Text("Start") } .tabItem { Image(systemName: "house") Text("Home") } Text("Search") .tabItem { Image(systemName: "magnifyingglass") Text("Search") } Text("Profile") .tabItem { Image(systemName: "person") Text("Profile") } } .sheet(isPresented: $isPresented) { Text("Sheet") .presentationDragIndicator(.visible) .navigationTransition(.zoom(sourceID: "tabViewBottomAccessoryTransition", in: namespace)) } .tabViewBottomAccessory { Button { isPresented = true } label: { Text("BottomAccessory") } .matchedTransitionSource(id: "tabViewBottomAccessoryTransition", in: namespace) } } }

I have an iOS and iPadOS app that also runs on macOS Catalyst. The user is able to view their subscription using the SubscriptionStoreView with two SubscriptionOptionGroups. The documentation does not mention these are supported on macOS Catalyst and the app crashes when attempting to show the SubscriptionStoreView on macOS Catalyst. If not supported, how can the user manage their subscription on macOS?

When entering a text to a picture it is possible to paste it from here to there. But when saving this picture the text leaves its position and gets saved a bit lower in the picture. This only happens when you changed the text from a horizontal to a vertical position. The text modules saved in the horizontal position keep there original position.

Problem When we merge FeatureModuleA.framework into IntegrationContainer.framework instead of HostApp_Main.app, the magic method Bundle(for: FeatureAProvider.self) does not work and this will trigger crash. When FeatureModuleA is merged into HostApp, Bundle(for: FeatureAProvider.self) will return: HostApp_Main.App/Frameworks/DomainFeatureA.framework instead of HostApp_Main.App/, although the FeatureAProvider class is actually in the merged main app binary So we can use the returned FeatureModuleA bundle get the nested resource. If we merge the frameworks into our IntegrationContainer.framework, the result will be: for release: PrototypeApp.app for debug: PrototypeApp.app/Frameworks/IntegrationContainer.framework/ReexportedBinaries/DomainFeatureA.framework Apple has not considered the case that frameworks are merged into independent framework. And other methods like bundle(for: identifier) does not work for both destination cases: merge into main app or a container framework.

Hello everyone, I’m looking for guidance regarding my app review timeline, as things seem unusually delayed compared to previous submissions. My iOS app was rejected on November 19th due to AI-related policy questions. I immediately responded to the reviewer with detailed explanations covering: Model used (Gemini Flash 2.0 / 2.5 Lite) How the AI only generates neutral, non-directive reflective questions How the system prevents any diagnosis, therapy-like behavior or recommendations Crisis-handling limitations Safety safeguards at generation and UI level Internal red-team testing and results Data retention, privacy, and non-use of data for model training After sending the requested information, I resubmitted the build on November 19th at 14:40. Since then: November 20th (7:30) → Status changed to In Review. November 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th → No movement, still In Review. My open case on App Store Connect is still pending without updates. Because of the previous rejection, I expected a short delay, but this is now 5 days total and 3 business days with no progress, which feels longer than usual for my past submissions. I’m not sure whether: My app is in a secondary review queue due to the AI-related rejection, The reviewer is waiting for internal clarification, Or if something is stuck and needs to be escalated. I don’t want to resubmit a new build unless necessary, since that would restart the queue. Could someone from the community (or Apple, if possible) confirm whether this waiting time is normal after an AI-policy rejection? And is there anything I should do besides waiting — for example, contacting Developer Support again or requesting a follow-up? Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate any insight from others who have experienced similar delays.

Hi all, I’m currently testing an auto-renewable subscription whose availability is restricted to Japan only (all other territories disabled in App Store Connect). However, when testing in the Sandbox environment, the behavior does not match the availability settings: Sandbox Apple ID storefront: Taiwan Subscription availability: Japan only StoreKit 2 (Product.products(for:)) still returns the product Sandbox purchase succeeds even though it should be unavailable in this region. Questions Is this expected behavior in the Sandbox environment? Does Sandbox not enforce subscription territory availability? Is this a known limitation where Sandbox validates the purchase flow only, without applying real storefront availability rules? Will territory restrictions be enforced correctly in production once the app and subscriptions are “Ready for Sale”? Is there any recommended way to test storefront-based availability before release? Thanks in advance!

Hello! I’m building my Swift Student Challenge project in Swift Playgrounds, and I’ve run into an issue with app orientation. Since this is a game, the layout and interactions only work correctly in landscape, but Playgrounds doesn’t offer the usual orientation settings you’d configure in Xcode. Is there a recommended way to force a landscape-only experience in Swift Playgrounds using SwiftUI? Any workarounds or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi team, In the Apple Music Feed datasets, we've noticed some unexpected values in the song and album tables. The primaryartists column from either song or album may contain a "non-default" artist name such as the katakana name shown in the example below: select id, name, namedefault, primaryartists from amf_song where id = '1698723329' id | name | namedefault | primaryartists ---------------------------------------- 1698723329 | {default=California} | California | [{id=1264818718, name=チャペル・ローン}] select * from amf_artist where id = '1264818718' id | name | namedefault | namepronunciation | ---------------------------------------------- 1264818718 | {default=Chappell Roan, ja=チャペル・ローン} | Chappell Roan | {ja=チャペルローン} | Shouldn't the primaryartists column be showing the namedefault instead of the Japanese language version? When can we expect this bug to resolved? Thanks,

Hello, I'm using PassKit with to perform Apple Pay payment in a financial application. Our approach are: On iOS application, define PKMerchantCapability threeDSecure and credit, perform apple pay experience and get the encrypted response. On PCI service, receive the encrypted data Payment token, decrypt this data, and use to perform the payment. The problem is, in MasterCard transaction the eciIndicator is missing. I want to know if has some rule or problem about it.

Stale TBD Files Cause Runtime Crash When Framework Changes from Dynamic to Static Summary When using EAGER_LINKING=YES, Xcode generates TBD files for dynamic frameworks. When a framework changes from dynamic to static, Xcode doesn't remove the stale TBD, causing dyld: Library not loaded crash at runtime. Environment Xcode 16.4 (16F6), macOS Darwin 24.6.0, iOS Simulator 18.5 Steps to Reproduce Project Structure: MainApp (EAGER_LINKING=YES) ProjectA/SharedLib (dynamic, mh_dylib) ProjectB/SharedLib (static, staticlib) Steps: Build with ProjectA (dynamic framework) → TBD created in EagerLinkingTBDs Switch workspace to ProjectB (static framework) without cleaning DerivedData Build again → BUILD SUCCEEDED Run app → CRASH: dyld: Library not loaded Root Cause Xcode adds -F EagerLinkingTBDs before -F Build/Products: -F/.../EagerLinkingTBDs/Debug-iphonesimulator ← checked FIRST -F/.../Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator ← checked SECOND The linker finds the stale TBD first and treats the framework as dynamic, even though the actual binary is now static. Evidence # SharedLib is static $ file SharedLib.framework/SharedLib current ar archive random library # But stale TBD still exists $ ls EagerLinkingTBDs/.../SharedLib.framework/ SharedLib.tbd ← STALE! # MainApp incorrectly references dynamic library $ otool -L MainApp.app/MainApp.debug.dylib | grep SharedLib @rpath/SharedLib.framework/SharedLib ← WRONG! Attempted Workarounds (All Failed) Workaround Result FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS = "$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)" "$(inherited)" Xcode still adds EagerLinkingTBDs first EAGER_LINKING = YES on static framework Build failure - empty TBD OTHER_LDFLAGS modifications Linker still uses TBD Expected Behavior When a framework changes from dynamic to static, Xcode should remove the stale TBD file from EagerLinkingTBDs. Suggested Fix Remove TBD files when building static library targets Track MACH_O_TYPE changes and invalidate TBD files accordingly

I wrote a Swift macOS app to control a PCI audio device. The code switches between the default output and input channels. As soon as I launch the Audio-Midi Setup utility, channel switching stops working. The driver properties allow switching, but the system doesn't respond. I have to delete the contents of /Library/Preferences/Audio and reset Core Audio. What am I missing? func setDefaultChannelsOutput() { guard let deviceID = getDeviceIDByName(deviceName: "PCI-424") else { return } let selectedIndex = DefaultChannelsOutput.indexOfSelectedItem if selectedIndex < 0 || selectedIndex >= 24 { return } let channel1 = UInt32(selectedIndex * 2 + 1) let channel2 = UInt32(selectedIndex * 2 + 2) var channels: [UInt32] = [channel1, channel2] var propertyAddress = AudioObjectPropertyAddress( mSelector: kAudioDevicePropertyPreferredChannelsForStereo, mScope: kAudioDevicePropertyScopeOutput, mElement: kAudioObjectPropertyElementWildcard ) let dataSize = UInt32(MemoryLayout<UInt32>.size * channels.count) let status = AudioObjectSetPropertyData(deviceID, &propertyAddress, 0, nil, dataSize, &channels) if status != noErr { print("Error setting default output channels: \(status)") } }

I’m trying to understand the expected behavior of TabView when using .tabViewStyle(.page) on iPadOS with a hardware keyboard. When I place a TabView in page mode, swipe gestures correctly move between pages. However, left and right arrow keys do nothing by default, even when the view is made focusable. This feels a bit surprising, since paging with arrow keys seems like a natural keyboard interaction when a keyboard is attached. Right now, to get arrow-key navigation working, I have to manually: Make the view focusable Listen for arrow key presses Update the selection state manually This works, but it feels a little tedious for something that seems like it could be built-in. import SwiftUI struct PageTabsExample: View { @State private var selection = 0 private let pageCount = 3 var body: some View { TabView(selection: $selection) { Color.red.tag(0) Color.blue.tag(1) Color.green.tag(2) } .tabViewStyle(.page) .indexViewStyle(.page) .focusable(true) .onKeyPress(.leftArrow) { guard selection > 0 else { return .ignored } selection -= 1 return .handled } .onKeyPress(.rightArrow) { guard selection < pageCount - 1 else { return .ignored } selection += 1 return .handled } } } My questions: Is this lack of default keyboard paging for page-style TabView intentional on iPadOS with a hardware keyboard? Is there a built-in way to enable arrow-key navigation for page-style TabView, or is manual handling the expected approach? Does my approach above look like the “SwiftUI-correct” way to do this, or is there a better pattern for integrating keyboard navigation with paging? For this kind of behavior, is it generally recommended to use .onKeyPress like I’m doing here, or would .keyboardShortcut be more appropriate (for example, wiring arrow keys to actions instead)? Any guidance or clarification would be greatly appreciated. I just want to make sure I’m not missing a simpler or more idiomatic solution. Thanks!

I'm looking for a way to make the following possible in Xcode (26.0 or later): I select one or more lines of code. I then enter a hotkey (or select a menu item) that results in adding the line: #ifdef SOME_MACRO before the selection and adding the line: #endif after the selection. Example: Start with the following lines of code: BOOL x = NO; int y = 4; NSString *str = @"Hello"; If I then highlight the int y = 4; line and use the proper hotkey or menu, the result would be: BOOL x = NO; #ifdef SOME_MACRO int y = 4; #endif NSString *str = @"Hello"; Is something like this possible in Xcode? I looked at code snippets but that doesn't seem to support wrapping existing code. I looked at the Xcode Settings under Editor and Shortcuts and didn't see a way to add such a custom shortcut.

I got this when I made a few changes to my App name, subtitle, description for ASO. This campaign is not eligible to run in one or more of the selected countries or regions Has anyone seen this error before on Apple ads?

StoreKit ask to buy should have more data in pending state. When user try to purchase ask to buy, we should get at least transactionID, product itself, and time that user start the request. So we can keep track of the whole transaction flow jwsRepresentation should always available for every state, actually even failing state. And should attach state inside of it. Instead of only available after verified purchase. So we can use transactionID and everything relate to transaction for both waiting for purchase and clearing up the cancel or invalid purchase Currently we only have jwsRepresentation after complete purchase, which is very limited its usage
