I have developed three apps using the Screen Time API. The following are common problems I encountered in the three apps:
DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is automatically killed after running for a few days (frequently)
The same DeviceActivityEvent in DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is triggered twice during eventDidReachThreshold (especially obvious in iOS18.5)
Screen Time authorization is automatically canceled for no reason (occasionally)
I hope to get help

I am having some serious issues with all of my music apps on the latest beta of iPadOS 18.3.
when I try to open them , the splash page pops open , freezes then crashes.
i can open Logic Pro and it opens fine, but if I try to open a project with any of my third party music apps in that project, Logic gives me an error message stating that it can’t access coremidi. It gives me the option to continue and then proceeds to play the project without issue, with all of the third party apps functioning within Logic. If I try to open a third party program outside of Logic ( that just played in Logic) the 3rd party app crashes.
Anyone else having issues with their 3rd party music apps? I have never had so many apps in a particular genre that just wouldn’t function in any of the recent betas.
After the last OS26 developer beta update the watch series 6 battery drains fast, in less than two hours life. I visited Apple Store , they said the battery was dead so I had to buy new watch series 10
The same issue happened in the new watch, the battery meter shows 50% after 1 hour
Right now I’ve downgraded my update version to beta 11 until I can find a solution

Hello,
One of our apps has been rejected under Guideline 4.3 for spam.
Our studio has been on the App Store for 10+ years and this particular app has been available for over two years without previous issue.
We have submitted a couple responses to the original rejection outlining why we think our app is unique and not spam and unfortunately we have been rejected. I have also submitted an appeal and requested a phone call.
This is compounded by a live issue happening in our app right now that requires a build to unblock. I added that to our review notes for submission but was rejected.
We believe we have been flagged as spam in error and would like to release builds to our active players ASAP to get them unblocked and provide further value to them.
Beyond submitting an appeal and requesting a call is there anything else I can do?
Hello,
In my App.xcdatamodeld I have an entity called File.
When I am building the project with Xcode, file FileEntity+CoreDataProperties.swift is generated.
After upgrading Xcode to version 26.0 (17A324), I am getting the warning:
Public import of 'CoreData' was not used in public declarations or inlinable code
Any idea how to get rid of this warning since it's a generated file and I can't see any option to change it?

Hello!
i developed an app for the Swift Student Challenge and submitted it, can I publish it to the app store before it is judged.
Hello everyone,
Since iOS 18, there has been an issue where it’s not possible to set up custom IMAP accounts using one’s own domain. However, IMAP accounts from providers like Strato or other hosting services work without any problems.
When will Apple finally resolve this issue?
Is there already a solution for the problem?
Disabling "Tracking IP" under Wi-Fi Settings doesn’t help.
Uninstalling and reinstalling the Mail app also doesn’t resolve the issue.
Thank you for your help.
It would be nice if someone from Apple could comment on this matter. Thank you very much!

Hello,
Can anyone tell me what this means? Or if it's normal?
I'm seeing about 10% battery drain per day on sleep, and pmset -g log shows wakes nearly every minute.

Dear Apple Developer Community,
I hope this message finds you well. I'm seeking guidance regarding an issue with my Apple Developer account and the future status of my app.
Issue Summary:
Account Status: My Apple Developer account has been locked (cannot be used) without any clear reason. Despite contacting both Apple Support and Apple Developer Support, I haven't received a workable solution to regain access.
App Status: Currently, my mobile app remains visible and downloadable on the Apple App Store.
Concerns:
Future of the App: I'm concerned about the future availability of my app. I've heard that apps associated with locked or inactive developer accounts might be archived or removed after a certain period. Is this accurate? If so, what is the typical timeframe for such actions?
Similar Experiences: Has anyone in the community encountered a similar situation with their developer account being locked and cannot be used? If so, were you able to resolve it, and how?
I appreciate any insights or advice from those who have faced similar challenges or have knowledge in this area. Your assistance would be invaluable in helping me navigate this situation.

With ios 26 the chapter images are not updating anymore. At first I thought this is carlay related but it also occures when the phone is connected only through USB or bluetooth to play a podcast. I tried Apple podcasts and other apps like Pocketcast or audible. Same problem. The phone shows the correct chapter image while my car shows the inital image all the time. Even tried a different car :-)
I checked focus and settings but found nothing related.
With ios18 everything works fine.
Any ideas?
Hello Apple Developer Community,
I'm hoping someone can advise me on a serious issue. Our organization's Apple Developer Program account has been effectively locked because our Account Holder's Apple ID is inaccessible. I need to unlock that Apple ID so we can manage our apps.
I've already reached out to Apple Developer Support, but so far, I haven't received a response. This situation is critical because our clients rely on us to maintain and update our apps.
Key details (some info is masked for privacy): • We're enrolled as an Organization/Company. • The current Account Holder's Apple ID is locked and cannot perform any actions. • No other accounts have admin access.
If anyone has encountered a similar issue or knows a more efficient route to escalate, I'd be extremely grateful for your insights.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can share. This is critical to our organization, and we'd appreciate any pointers on how to navigate or expedite the support process.

Hi there,
I am new to Xcode26 and dragged my AppIcon.icon (created with Icon Composer) into the project. Then build failed with "Could not locate icontool".
Could anyone point me to the cleanest way to solve this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello. I need to develop for iOS 18. I've recently updated Xcode and it says I have to download ios 26 platform. I don't need it, but I can no longer build my existing projects against ios 18, even though Xcode says it's still installed and used 13 days ago. How to I remedy this?
since updating from 18.3 to 18.4, both on cellular and WiFi Networks I can’t connect to the internet.
Since the phone wont connect to the internet I’m not able to turn off “find my iPhone“ to restore my iPhone to iOS 18.3
this way my iPhone is useless
any ideas / thoughts about this?
I’m looking for iOS and Apple Watch users to help beta test ChoreFit, a fitness app that transforms everyday chores into measurable workouts using NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) science.
What it does:
• Tracks chores like vacuuming, mopping, and laundry as real workouts
• Syncs with Apple Health for steps, heart rate, and calories
• Lets you start or pause chores right from your Apple Watch
• Adjusts effort based on body weight and optional weighted vests
What I need from testers:
• Install via TestFlight (link provided once approved)
• Use the app during normal household tasks
• Share feedback on usability, Apple Watch sync, and calorie accuracy
If you’re interested in movement tracking, fitness analytics, or wearable integration, I’d love your help validating and refining this app before public release.
Hello everyone, on August 31st, all the apps in my personal developer account were suddenly expired and deleted, I have not received any response from Apple. My apps are in compliance with Apple's policies. I then uploaded a new version and sent it to the review team, but I received the following error "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later."
I have contacted Apple via Email and Phone but no one cares about my problem.
Has anyone had the same situation as me, I am really worried.
So, I started with the developer beta on Tahoe a couple months ago. I gave the new Apps.app a fair shot.... I HATE it. Finally used a terminal work around to get Launchpad back up and running. Now with the release of the Public Beta and Developer Beta 5, Apple has nerfed the Launchpad.app altogether. Apple, listen to your customers. Yes some people really love spotlight but not everyone wants to scroll through a list of apps as long as my leg because, my PTSD brain won't let me remember the name of the app to type into spotlight. The Launchpad app had a great visual reference for those of us with poor memory function. Bring it back, and let your customers choose which one they want to use.
In our iOS app we have added example.com in associated domains from the very beginning With no AASA file hosted at example.com domain
Now we need a subdomain app.example.com to be intercepted in our app, so for the same, we are thinking to host AASA at app.example.com and add app.example.com in associated domains too.
so my question is will hosting AASA at sub domain works? If yes, will it affect older apps where app.example.com is not handled.
In short we only want the links with app.example.com to be open in our app not the example.com links
Hey everyone,
First time posting on here. I updated my iPhone 15Pro to 18.4 this morning
march 5th, and almost immediately my phone started bugging. Safari won’t load, neither will some of my apps that are heavily data based like Mail. I tried WiFi and data, no difference, I tried different WiFi connections and even a hotspot. Siri and chatGPT also won’t load BUT instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, X, and threads are working perfectly fine. Most games won’t load either. I tried to use a VPN and it has allowed me to access everything that is down Including Siri. This is a temporary solution, hopefully there is a more permanent fix.
Thank you all in advance.
I have raised a support ticket regadring a concern I had with apple developer account. I got a respose via email, asking some more details. After that I have replied to the same mail thread with requested details. But I havent got any respose after that. I would like to is that the correct way of responding to support ticket ? Am I suppose to get the response for the same mail thread , after I reply ? or Every time I have open a new support tikcet ?
