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

Can't get forum notifications to work in Safari
Every time I visit these forums, a banner is displayed at the top asking me to opt-in to notifications. I click "opt-in," the banner disappears, and no notifications are sent. If I visit my forum profile, it says my browser isn't allowing notifications: If I look in Settings->Websites, in the list of "These websites have asked for permission to show alerts in Notification Center," there are no apple.com websites whatsoever, including developer.apple.com. "Allow websites to ask for permission to send notifications" is checked, and I have many other websites in that list. I consider this to be a bug in Safari, but maybe it’s an issue with the forum itself (although I doubt it). I've submitted a Radar for it, but haven't heard anything back (I never do). EDIT: I realize I should've put this in another category, but it won't let me change that now.

App.pkg notarization is stuck since 3 days
Hi, Our organization develops a Mac app and distributes it our of the Mac store. We have been creating App.dmg files for this and signed it with the Developer ID Application certificate and uploaded them for notarization using "xcrun notarytool". Everything was working fine until we created a new Developer ID Installer certificate to test the new App.pkg installer and uploaded it for notarization to the Apple server. It's been 3 days now and our production pipeline is stuck because all the submissions remain in In-Progress state and do not proceed further. Details of the submission:- createdDate: 2025-01-03T06:44:20.306Z id: 7af70d77-1bab-4b17-aeba-7ddc75c030f9 name: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.pkg status: In Progress Since then, no submission(even for .dmg files) are processing through. I’ve raised a ticket with the support team as well, but it hasn’t helped. What more can we try to get out of this hole?

"Authentication service is unavailable."
Urgent Assistance Needed: Issue Logging into Apple Developer Enterprise Account via Visual Studio 2022 - "Authentication service is unavailable." Dear Apple Support Team, I am encountering an issue while attempting to log into my Apple Developer Enterprise account through Visual Studio 2022. The process consistently fails with the error message: "Authentication service is unavailable." Here are the steps I followed: Open Visual Studio 2022. Navigate to Tools -> Options -> Apple Developer Account -> Add Account -> Select Enterprise Account. Attempt to log in using my Apple Developer ID and password. Despite multiple attempts, I continue to face the error: "Authentication service is unavailable." This issue occurs on both Windows and Mac environments, with the same results. However, I am able to log into my Apple Developer account via the browser, and the Apple service status portal shows no outages. As this issue is impacting our ability to deliver to our customers, I kindly request your prompt assistance in resolving this matter. Thank you in advance for your help. I look forward to your quick response. Best regards, KanTime Dev Team Windows Machine Mac Machine

I'm always asked to opt in here
Multiple times a day, every time I open a new window for forums.developer.apple.com, if I'm signed in, it asks me if I want to opt in to notifications. Even if I click on the opt in button. I've just reproduced it five times in a row here. What is going on?
