This forum is loaded very slow due to an incorrect CSS file, can someone fix it?
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? Problem link: https://sf-saas.cdn-apple.com/latest/colors/default.css

More spam on these forums...
... and yet, Apple's staff think it's appropriate to post lame responses thanking them for their interest in the forums. Come on, guys! It's obvious spam! Mark it as such and delete it. It's not beyond your abilities to stop people posting the word "WhatsApp" plus a phone number. You already stop us posting certain web links, so you can do this. If you continue ignoring the spam problem, then these forums will become less and less useful. Why should I contribute my free time to help others when you won't even help us?

"Watching" tab is empty
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.

Is a spam an appreciated participation in the forums ?
There are at the moment a lot of spams for a bank phone number. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/769506 What is really surprising is to read App Store Connect Engineer answer, each time the same: We appreciate your interest in participating in the forums! These forums are for questions about developing software and accessories for Apple platforms. Your question seems related to a consumer feature and is better suited for the Apple Support Communities Is it an automatic answer (I cannot believe anyone who read the post did not notice it was a spam) ? If so, couldn't it simply detect it is a spam (Apple Intelligence could come to help) and delete the message (or the account) ? PS: it would also be a spam in Apple Support Communities PS2: I note the message has been deleted very rapidly.

March 2025: What’s New with Apple Developer Forums
Thanks for your engagement, participation, and contributions to the Apple Developer Community! We’ve made some minor updates today to the Forums - curious about what’s changed? Here’s the rundown: Customize your experience with a developer profile Creating a developer profile allows you, if you choose, to share your interests and preferences so we’re better able to support you. In Developer Forums, creating a profile and choosing to share it publicly is an easy way to connect with fellow developers. Soon, having a profile will help unlock a more personalized experience across developer.apple.com - powering smarter surfacing of recommendations, activities, and opportunities tailored to your interests. Learn more. Other features and improvements With this release, we’ve also made some enhancements and fixed a few bugs based on feedback you’ve submitted. These include: Expanded save draft functionality from posts to replies so you don’t lose those drafts unexpectedly Added line numbers in code blocks Restored text highlighting back to system default Syntax coloring carries through to code blocks within posts Fixed a time stamping issue which was impacting ‘last updated’ sort functionality Wish there was a feature or improvement on Developer Forums? We welcome feedback and feature requests.

Fed up with forum "Unauthorized" messages.
I'm fed up with this. I write a detailed message and press Submit, and I get that. I press back, and my composition is gone. I think it happens most often when I've logged in only recently, i.e. I've read a few posts, decide to reply to one and log in. At that point, if I close everything and start again and find the thread I want to reply to then it works. But if I don't do that then I run the risk of being told I'm "unauthorized" and losing whatever I've written. This isn't rocket science! Why do we put up with it?

"Too many redirects" on forum
Anyone else seeing this? I'm sometimes getting "too many redirects" errors from Safari when trying to view this forum: It goes away after a while, randomly. Also: this is hard to debug; the Network tab in the Safari Javascript Console only shows the final load of the error page, not the failure. Is there a way to see the actual redirect loop URLs?

Developer Forum Name Change
I have been waiting for months to get the name of my account on the developer forum changed. I had initially set it up as Playbrainiacs to match my solely owned company name. However, some other people started using "Playbrainiac" without the s at the end, in their websites etc. causing confusion. They also refused to sell the url to me for a reasonable price. I applied for a Trademark with USTPO in the name Playbrainiacs but it was denied due to a company in Canada with a name called PlayBrainy. Given my small budget I decided to abandon it and forgo the needless lawyer costs. Consequently I changed my company name to "Gigi Sehgal LLC" and removed the name Playbrainiacs everywhere. BUT Apple developer forum support has STILL not updated the name here. This is becoming a marketing and legal liability for me. Anybody have insights in how to get this fixed soon? My App was approved however I turned encryption on and am now waiting on the classification category code for the same from the US Govt ( that has also been pending for over a month )

Is it possible to publish an article on this forum?
Hello, forum admins. Thank you for your work in maintaining the forum in an active working condition. I have a question for you. Is it possible here, on the forum, not only to ask questions and get answers, but also to conduct technical discussions on current programming issues? For example, I would like to publish an article on design programming patterns and hear the opinions of other programmers working in this direction. I know that there are resources where we can publish articles. But here is the most big and active community of programmers using Apple technologies and it would be great to have the opportunity to publish articles here and organize thematic discussions. Best regards, John

I have submitted a DTS ticket one week ago but did not receive any response
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!
