I applied for the Apple Developer Program on January 31, 2026, and as of today (February 5, 2026), my enrollment is still showing as Pending.
The payment was completed successfully at the time of application. Since then:
I have not received any requests for additional documents or verification.
I have contacted Apple Developer Support twice, but have not received any response so far.
I understand processing times can vary, but the lack of response from support is concerning.
Has anyone else experienced similar delays recently?
Is there any recommended escalation path or alternative way to reach the Developer Support team?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, as this delay is impacting my app release timeline.
Thank you.

Hello :-)
I‘m not entirely sure, if I‘m on the correct Place here.
But I would like to report a Bug with tvOS 18.3 (latest beta) to the Apple Engineers!
When maximizing an app, a clear color jump occurs. The home screen is more colorful than the open app!
You can easily force this:
open an app, e.g. the App Store
back to the home screen
open the app again now you can see a color jump of the GUI!!!
The color becomes paler when the app is open. On the home screen it is more colorful again!
The problem occurs with every app! So it is a global tvOS Bug!
I can also send an example video if that's helpful!
Best regards,
Christian :-)

i have a specific requirement as below.
i have apartments in which i have 4 units and each unit will be of same layout. furniture etc.. might change but not walls and layout as far as i know.
Step1:
Now i will enter into one unit, scan the entire unit and save it using RoomPlan Api and at the end of the scan i will be saving the worldmap as well.
Step2:
i want to use the previously saved worldmap and enter into another unit and want to relocalize with only walls because the furniture might be different.
is that possible. if not is there any otherway to achieve this functionality? i really appreciate you valuable time. Thankyou.

After updating the Xcode 26, defined universal links are not working in the iOS simulator. In the configuration, we have verified all the things including AASA file hosting and domain configuration. It is working properly in the real devices. Issue occurring only for Simulators.
How can I debug it in the simulators to validate this ?
Xcode Version: 26.1
Simulator iOS: 26.1

Hello guys,
We have updated our app icon, and it is correctly reflected in our app build and assets. However, the push notification icon is still displaying the old version for some users.
✅ We have verified that:
All icon assets in Assets.xcassets match the new icon.
The app icon has been updated in Info.plist.
The app has been resubmitted and approved on the App Store.
❌ However, some users still see the old notification icon, even after reinstalling the app. Restarting the device does not always resolve the issue.
Could you provide insights into how iOS caches notification icons and how we can force a refresh for all users?
I’m concerned because my iCloud account was recently migrated to AWS (Amazon Web Service) against my will, and now it seems.like people are rummaging through my files, photos, and mail, When I try to contact Apple Support, I get bumped to a spoofed site. Calling the hotline is the same, I get a Siri operator with platitudes and gaslighting but no action. I have run sysdiagnose and it looks really sketchy.
Can anyone help?
👋Hi,
I want to ask what equipment the auditors in SSC will use to evaluate students' playground, whether it is iPad pro and mac with camera, or something else. And what system will they use, iPadOS/macOS 26 or something else? Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you

Hi everyone,
I’m not sure if this is the right place for it, but I wanted to share a bit of my background and ask for advice from developers who’ve been in the industry longer than me.
I started learning to make games when I was a kid using Game Maker.
Later I got into Unity and even worked a few years as a solo developer for small startups — building Unity apps, VR projects, AR demos, websites, servers, everything.
But I never had a real team, never had mentorship, and none of the projects I worked on ever reached production or real users.
Life changed and I moved to the US, where I had to switch careers completely.
Now I’m trying to come back to software development, but I’m struggling with a feeling that I’m “not good enough” anymore.
The tech world has moved so fast, and companies like OpenAI, Meta, Epic, etc., feel way out of reach.
So my question to the community is:
How did you get started in your career?
Did you ever feel like you weren’t good enough?
How did you push through that and continue improving?
Any honest advice would help a lot.
Thanks.
i can’t turn off autofill of an input field from background noise
System data is beyond a joke now.
There constant logs being generated and stored somewhere with zero access and ability to delete or clear up. I’ve even tried changing the date hack, however this just created some space from system but mostly just unloaded my apps (a feature which I’ve now disabled, as virtually everything is unloaded now apart from essential items).
Apple support says wipe and start again, I’m sure that’s not a solution? Anyone figured out how to resolve this?
Also you can’t even force videos into the cloud, frustrating when I’ve got no space and pay for iCloud and have zero space left on my phone. It’s suppose to be intelligent.

A few days ago I installed beta 1 of macOS 26 Tahoe on a spare MacBook Pro 14-inch M4. Everything went well, and it looks okay (well, I don't like it at all, but hey-ho), and I shut it down.
I started it up today, and it rejects my login password every time, then locks my account. When I click the link to "Restart and show password reset options" I'm asked for my Apple ID details, so I enter the correct email and password, then the MBP reboots and I'm back on the login screen with no indication that anything has changed.
Guess I'm stuck now... FB18364657

Every week or so, mouse driver locks up. The LED laser goes out and none of the buttons operate. It's a generic 7 button USB mouse with my USB keyboard still active. I do not know what precipitates the lockup and a system diagnostic request (Sft-Alt-Ctl-Cmd .) does not seem to yield anything useful.
> ps -ef|grep -i mouse
501 579 1 0 Mon01PM ?? 0:04.42 /System/Library/ExtensionKit/Extensions/MouseExtension.appex/Contents/MacOS/MouseExtension
code-block
so the mouse extension was running at the time. With a "sudo kill -HUP 579" it did not restart.
Also, switching to a different mouse did no good. The mouse driver was behaving like it was deadlocked and I didn't know the correct incantation for restarting it. I power cycle reset the box.
SO:
you have a mouse driver problem
it cannot be just me
It behaves like a deadlock, but not knowing how to get a mouse driver dump, I cannot tell what lock(s) its waiting for.
The Uber Driver app is able to get background location and there’s no way to turn it off from settings. Unlike other apps where there’s always an option to turn off background location from settings.
Is this a bug or special treatment for big companies?
this matters to me because we’re in a similar business but our app has to request background permissions, explicitly.
I am attaching both of the screenshots here for you to compare and see.
Please note that I verified personally that Uber Driver app is able to get background location.
I'm totally baffled by the changes Apple made on iOS18 about certificates usage in the built-in mail application.
They decided that self-signed are not accepted any more, fine. As long as you can install your own root CA and trust it, it should be fine.
But NO! They have also decided that mail will only accept IMAP servers using a domain name, no more just and IP address. So you can't get any IP-based certificate that will be accepted by the mail app, even with the right SAN and al.
I've tried two "identical" certs, one with a domain and one with an IP and the domain works while the IP fails, being rejected as non-valid by the app. The most funny part is that the IP cert is good enough to configure mail (can see the successful login), but is being rejected when reading emails.
I'm really fed up with the "Apple police" that wants to push us not using our own storage anymore. My se case is simple, I have an IMAP server that is used by family to archive all emails and keep them organized, saved forever and away from being scanned.
I need to access that server either when locally connected or through VPN. For VPN, I use split tunnels because I don't want all traffic to go to tunnel. Nor do I want to create my own local DNS server and have all VPN clients use such DNS server only for the sake of having a domain name for the IMAP server. Nor do I want to open an external port to redirect to my IMAP server (that works of course as then I can use DDNS ...). Talk about increased security!
This is insane
"TMS-90714: Invalid binary - The app contains one or more corrupted binaries" I am facing this error email from appstore since 15 days now and i tried 49 different things to fix this but it is not fixed. I migrated my app from storyboard controller to swiftUI and tried to submit to appstore and am not seeing the build in testflight and am receving the email error above. Can anyone please help, i will provide the required info, also i can pay couple hundered bucks.

Greetings, everyone!
I’m asking all of you to help me.
My issue is that I accidentally deleted all my notes from iCloud, and they were then removed from my iPhone and other devices as well. I have been using Apple products for many years, and my notes have been transferred from one device to another over time. They contain very important information for me, and I would really appreciate any guidance on whether it is possible to recover them.
I have already tried using the online support at http://www.apple.com/support, but I couldn’t find a live chat option - only general instructions on different situations.
I also noticed that there are no Apple Support phone numbers available for Kazakhstan. Given this, I would appreciate any alternative way to get assistance.
Looking forward to your reply.

I downloaded Xcode Beta 26 and built the POS code repository project. However, an error appeared: unable to find the module dependency 'minizip'. No changes have been made to the repository since upgrading to iOS 18.0. Is this a new issue with Xcode 26, and what are the resolution steps?

«Hello everyone, after installing iOS 26, I noticed that on my iPhone 13 Pro, which had its battery replaced, the battery status in the settings shows 0%, and the phone does not charge more than 1%, no matter how long I leave it plugged in. The same problem is observed on iPhones 14 and lower where the battery (FB18154101) was replaced.»

To whoever is bothered enough to help (trust me, I get the feeling if you're not), I want to enter the swift student challenge either this year or next year, depending on how things play out.
Anyway, I just wanted to know two things: 1) how long on average it takes to build a project which won distinguished winner and 2) whether any distinguished winners could send me the playgrounds they built.
To be clear, I do not want the code, I just want to know what you did, what you called the playground, a list of some features it had, how long it took, just to help me prepare, because YouTube doesn't have much of that.
Thanks :)
