Nothing ever shows in my "Watching" tab. I've tried toggling the watch (bell) button on & off for threads I'm trying to watch, but this doesn't help. The setting sticks per thread, meaning that if I start watching a thread and reload the page, the icon shows as filled. These threads just never show up in the "Watching" tab for me.
The only thread I saw mentioning this is from 2021 (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/681641). Starting a new thread since that was was marked as answered.
It has happenned for about a month, I don't remember exactly. It takes about 30 seconds to open any page. I looked into Chrome's network inspection and found it caused by an incorrect CSS link below. So every page load is waiting for this non-existent CSS file timeout before fully display.
Except this issue I can still use this forum normally so assuming it's not my network connection/location issue.
Can someone fix it?

I tried to post a reply to a thread. It seems to be posted, but does not appear in the thread once sent…
To solve a problem with my app I submitted a DTS ticket one week ago (13097367) but beside the automated response I received no feedback or help. The ticket is also not listed in the list of DTS tickets in my Developer Account dashboard. How can I check, if the ticket has been received correctly and is being processed?
Thanks!

I’m encountering an issue when trying to start a macOS VM using Apple’s Virtualization framework in a sandboxed environment.
When I create a standalone Xcode project, the VM launches successfully. However, when I integrate the same code into my existing project—where the VM is launched by a service started via launchd and running in a sandbox—it fails with the following error:
Internal Virtualization Error: Failed to issue USB HCI sandbox extension
To resolve this, I tried adding the com.apple.security.device.usb entitlement. But after doing that, the app started crashing with the following trace :

I suspect this might be due to the provisioning profile, which doesn’t seem to include the required entitlement. However, I haven’t found a way to explicitly add this entitlement to the provisioning profile.
My questions are:
How can I add com.apple.security.device.usb to the provisioning profile?
Is there a way to confirm that adding this entitlement would resolve the issue?
Are there recommended steps to debug and test Virtualization framework usage in a sandboxed environment (especially when launched as a service)?
I also tried disabling SIP and AMFI, but the crash still occurs. Is there a better way to work around or test this in development?
Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Issue solved. Retracting question.
Is this place just for customers of the "developer program" to help each other, or is there any apple employees here able to help, with privileged access?
Seems to me that not, but i prefer to ask anyway, it's not clear to me
Because if there are some employees here, can you please do your job

There seems to be some kind of problem with the forum software incorrectly redacting certain words.
It's even censoring Apple employees when they use the word "s i g n a l" in this post, which is now titled, "iOS Network ****** Strength"
So, no, Apple employees are not complaining about iOS Network strength.

Hello,
I notice the link on top of this site is incorrect: https://developer.apple.com/forums/tags/sign-in-with-apple-rest-api
Its target (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sign_in_with_apple/sign_in_with_apple_rest_api) does not exist.
It should probably be https://developer.apple.com/documentation/signinwithapplerestapi

It appears that on older posts the code blocks are completely broken. For example https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/678075 show the code block as a single inline value. Looking at the HTML this is what I see generated
<code class="hljs block shell language-shell">Code Block shell#!/bin/bashrm -rf output/rm -rf simulator_fat/mkdir simulator_fatlibs=( "lib_static" ) #Add for i in "${libs[@]}"do lipo -create arm64_simulator/$i.a x86_64/$i.a -output simulator_fat/$i.a xcodebuild -create-xcframework -library simulator_fat/$i.a -library arm64/$i.a -output output/$i.xcframeworkdone</code>
Obviously newer code blocks seem to be working (as long as the one above is) but it wreaks havoc trying to look at older posts.

This is supposed to be a photo of a screen shot I took of this site and this box saying there is no text it is empty when I tried to post my previous post And the box was not empty and the character counter was backwards it was in the negative -. Was -6870/7000 characters. The original post was for a force reset analytic that I found suspicious and malicious towards my device and apple.
will not let me post the image

I've tried several times to post a reply to a message, but I got an error message instead, telling me to try again in a few minutes. I just found out that it did post my replies, without telling me. So now there's many duplicates of the same reply, one for each of my attempts.
I'm using Firefox 144.0.2 (aarch64) on macOS 26.1 (25B78).
It would be helpful to be able to upload short videos to the Developer Forums.

Since recently, when I try to close a thread I created on an answer of mine, I get the following error:
Trying later, next day, does not solve it. In the list of all threads, the post is not marked as answered.
But if I look via Chrome or plain Safari, I see the answer itself is marked as correct:
Which is not the case when opening in Safari Technology Preview (Release 233) where the same answer is still to be accepted:
I used to resize images (editing width and height when writing the post) in order to avoid ridiculously large images in reading published post.
Since a few weeks, that does not work anymore.
When I edit, I see the reduced size in Live Preview:
But once posted, images are much larger as seen below:
Looks like the image is now resized to fill full width.

PS: that change ignores @eskimo wise advice "Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips" n°10 (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/706527).
It would be helpful to have an option for filtering searches on the Developer Forums by date created or date of last activity.

I watch some topics in the developer forums and when those topics are updated, I receive email notifications. That notification contains a link with the text "View the thread" which I believe is meant to take you to the corresponding latest reply in that topic.
For example, I was watching this thread https://developer.apple.com/forums//thread/792453 and when the latest reply there was posted to I received the notification with the "View the thread" link which pointed to https://developer.apple.com/forums//thread/792453?answerId=872080022&replyId=872080022. However, clicking on that link redirects me to the login page.
I think it would be better if that link was https://developer.apple.com/forums//thread/792453?answerId=872080022#872080022 which would have taken me to the appropriate reply without forcing a login. Is that something that can be considered?
