Nine days ago an upload to App Store Connect got stuck at the 'Processing' state. Subsequent build uploads whether for 'TestFlight Internal Only' or 'App Store Connect' stick just the same. I'm tearing my hair out - what little remains - as I can't do any uploads... I raised a support ticket with Apple eight days ago, they responded two days later asking for a screen-shot which was provided by return but I've heard nothing since. Uploads are all from XCode 26.1.1. XCode Organizer, 'Direct Distribution' and 'Validate App' work ok but I need to be using the App Store for this App... It's my understanding that if I remove the App from the App Store and then try to create a new App with the same Bundle ID that will fail as Apple specify the following warning prior to removing an App. "WARNING: If you remove an app, you’ll lose ownership of the app name. Removed apps can only be restored if the name isn’t currently in use by another developer account. In addition, the SKU can’t be reused in the same organization and if you’ve uploaded a build, your bundle ID can’t be reused." I'd really appreciate some help about how to proceed. Thanks Andrew

I'm a hobbiest just starting to develop an app for MacOS only, so Swift, SwiftUI, Cocoa, UIKit are all very new - I do have a background in C/C++ and various assembly languages but GUI based apps are new and feeling like a challenge. So far, I understand SwiftUI to be the latest framework and thus, in time, it's expected to superceed Cocoa and UIKit. The app I intend to develop will be a remote console for a piece of equipment connected via a serial interface. My intention is to recreate the front panel of the equipment as best I can in the app so it retains the same look and 'feel' as the equipment itself. To accomplish this it will be necessary to place buttons, labels and other textual info in fixed locations within a window. If the window is resized I don't want to reflow its content. With my minimal experience of xcode this seems straightforward using cocoa but I'm stuggling to achieve anything comparable with SwiftUI. I'm keen to avoid spending lots of time learing one framework only to find-out it's not appropriate for the type of app I wish to develop. Guidance on framework selection would be much appreciated. Thanks, Andrew
