Overview

Hello, My app RecipePop seems to be stuck in the App Review process and I’m trying to understand if something might be wrong with the submission. App ID (Apple ID): 6758273317 Timeline: I have been submitting versions for a week and they remain in "Waiting for Review" for days.. Please help review this submission as soon as possible! My users are currently facing a bug that should have been fixed in this version. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am working on an e-commerce app (retail/marketplace) that allows users to place orders for both free and paid products. After receiving a DeclaredAgeRange API response — retrieved via the Family Controls / Screen Time framework — indicating that a user is a minor, I want to understand the recommended approach for handling payment flows. Specifically, is it necessary to block payments for users identified as minors via DeclaredAgeRange, even though our app uses server-side encrypted card processing rather than Apple In-App Purchases (StoreKit)? Any guidance on best practices or App Store policy requirements for this scenario would be greatly appreciated.

Why the review process seems stuck? I contacted apple review support too multiple times and I am completely ignored they just forward the emails. Is there anyone I can talk to about this? We have an old app this is not a new app and this doesnt make sense at all. App id 1660054787.

We are implementing in-app provisioning in our fintech app; We are reaching out to ask for your help in understanding what is going wrong so we can fix it. What happens: User taps “Add to Apple Wallet” → we present PKAddPaymentPassViewController → they tap Next → after a few seconds the flow fails with "Set Up Later" alert. Device log: "eligibility request failure", "Received HTTP 500" )'; underlyingError: 'Error Domain=PKPaymentWebServiceErrorDomain Code=0 "Unexpected error." UserInfo={PKErrorHTTPResponseStatusCodeKey=500, NSLocalizedDescription=Unexpected error.}'; userInfo: '{ PKErrorHTTPResponseStatusCodeKey = 500; }'; > Feedback Assistant ID: FB22176928 (In-App Provisioning issue 500 Internal Server Error)

My Team (ID: 3TMU292P34) has been unable to notarize any macOS software. Every submission is immediately rejected with statusCode 7000: "Team is not yet configured for notarization." This is not a code-signing or technical issue: Developer ID Application certificate is valid (expires 2027-02-02) Code signing and hardened runtime are correctly configured Uploads succeed, but Apple's backend rejects them instantly Both Apple ID auth and App Store Connect API Key auth produce identical results A minimal "hello world" test app also fails — confirming this is account-level, not app-level Submission IDs: 71753924-276a-4b77-be77-4355ff21ab72, 53a990af-45e1-4164-bfa4-2b60e09a3a1d I have contacted Developer Programs Support multiple times with no resolution. Could someone help escalate this?

Hi, I’m seeing a strange TestFlight issue. My builds process successfully in App Store Connect, appear in TestFlight, and are assigned to internal testers, but installation fails immediately with: “The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist.” What I’ve verified: • builds are processed/completed • apps are visible in TestFlight • internal tester groups are configured • agreements/banking/tax are active This affects multiple apps in the same developer account. The issue started after adding a widget extension and moving to a new Swift-based workflow, so I’m trying to isolate whether this is: • signing/provisioning/entitlements • widget extension misconfiguration • or a backend issue on Apple’s side I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support and submitted Feedback Assistant reports. Has anyone seen this exact behavior before?

I don't know if these forums are any good for rumors or plans, but does anybody know whether or not Apple plans to release a library for training reinforcement learning? It would be handy, implementing games in Swift, for example, to be able to train the computer players on the same code.

Hi, I’m building an iOS app called SocialLite using Apple’s Screen Time APIs, primarily FamilyControls and ManagedSettings. My goal is to block access to the Instagram app itself, while still allowing the user to receive and see Instagram notifications. Right now, when I apply the shield/block using the Screen Time API, the Instagram app is blocked as expected, but its notifications also appear to be blocked/suppressed at the same time. What I’m trying to achieve: Block the Instagram app from being opened Still allow Instagram notifications to come through normally Current behavior: The app is blocked Notifications are also blocked or no longer visible My question: Is there any supported way with Apple’s Screen Time API / ManagedSettings to shield or block an app while still allowing that app’s notifications? Or are app access and notifications tied together by design when a shield is applied? If this behavior is expected, I’d appreciate confirmation from Apple or guidance on whether there is another supported approach. Thanks.

I think I’ve discovered a quantum paradox in the enrollment process. On February 3rd, I paid for my membership. Since then, my account has been in a "Schrödinger's State": It exists (because the payment was successful and my ID was verified weeks ago) It doesn't exist (because it’s still stuck on "Pending" and I can't access any developer tools) It’s been 31 days, and the box is still closed. But I really hope not many people are in this situation, has anyone else faced something similar? How did you resolve it? I’d love to finally start publishing…

Am trying to setup a third party payment gateway that accepts our currency because we have a restriction on payments in foreign currencies. The review team rejected the app because of it even though there are released apps with the same provider on the app store.

I am a beta tester. I successfully tested an app this week. However, a different app, by a different developer is generating the “TestFlight is unavailable. Try again” error. I have force closed, and then deleted the TF app, and restarted A16 iPad running 26.3.1 iPadOS, then redownloaded to no effect. I have worked with an Apple Senior Support advisor, and found no network, Apple ID problems on my end after troubleshooting for nearly 2 hours. The developer tried emailing me the link - didn’t work. Now, update builds by developer are now showing the same error on other beta testers iPads, - however, one tester can download the app for beta testing on an iPad Pro M4. The app will download to my phone as well as others´ phones, running current update, but not my iPad. I changed my Apple ID password, reset my network, and nothing works.

I am trying to create keys for my personal project with MusicKit and other resources, but MusicKit specifically for now. I want to gather my recent music history and log the time in my system to measure with my other life data to do analysis on. I have created an Identifier with an appropriate Description and Bundle ID and have MusicKit checked in AppServices. I have saved and reset cash and waited all day and the keys have still not update and show "There are no identifiers available that can be associated with the key" in this field. Please help!

Hello, We are facing an issue with In-App Purchases (subscriptions) in two iOS apps built with React Native + react-native-iap. Issue Some users receive the error: E_CONNECTION_CLOSED during the purchase flow. However: The payment is successfully deducted via the App Store. The subscription appears in the user's Apple ID subscription list. But on our side: The app does not receive the StoreKit transaction callback No receipt or transaction ID is delivered Our backend cannot validate the purchase. Restore Purchases When affected users try Restore Purchases, StoreKit returns: No purchases found even though the subscription is visible in their Apple ID. Most affected users are from India, and many payments are made via UPI through App Store billing. Has anyone experienced a case where: *the user is charged *the subscription exists in Apple ID *but StoreKit never returns the transaction or receipt? Any suggestions on how to recover these transactions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've yet to encounter these errors when running UI tests locally, but I'd estimate that 80-90% of my test runs on Xcode Cloud fail due to it. I'm just testing with iPhone simulators, I've set it to retry on failure, but no luck. Is there a setting or something I can tweak in my test code to improve the situation? I am on the latest xcode/iOS dev betas - but it was doing this before I switched to them from.

Hello, My app has been stuck in review for over a month. I can see other people in this forum are having the same issue. What can we do to speed this up? What's particularly frustrating is that even people in the support team are not able to get an update from the review team. Can someone please give us some information? App id: 6758049144

I started the process of migrating my developer account from Individual to Organisation back in December. I've signed all the required agreements and provided everything that was asked of me. The account is now stuck mid-migration and I can't do anything with it in the meantime. On 20th February I was told my request had been escalated to a senior advisor. That was three weeks ago. I've heard nothing since. I'm paying for a developer membership that I currently can't use. I can't ship, I can't manage my account, I can't do anything, I'm just waiting on a process that seems to have stalled completely with no visibility on when or if it'll move. I'm not posting here to vent. I'm posting because I don't know what else to do. The escalation path I was given has gone quiet, and there's no way for me to chase it or get a status update. Is there anyone at Apple who can look into this, or at least confirm the request is still active? A case number, a timeline, anything. I just need to know it hasn't fallen through the cracks.

Thanks!
