Title: iOS Local Network Discovery (UDP Multicast / SSDP) Not Working – Works on Android Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with local network device discovery on iOS. The same implementation works perfectly on Android, but fails (or behaves inconsistently) on iOS. What I’m trying to do I am building a React Native app that discovers Wi-Fi audio devices (Arylic / Linkplay-based speakers) on the same local network. The discovery flow: Send SSDP (UDP multicast) M-SEARCH request to 239.255.255.250:1900 Listen for device responses Fetch device description via HTTP (LOCATION header) Parse and store discovered devices What works ✅ Android: Device discovery works reliably (multiple devices detected) ❌ iOS: No devices are discovered (or discovery is very inconsistent) iOS Configuration I have already added the required permissions in Info.plist: NSLocalNetworkUsageDescription NSBonjourServices (including _http._tcp, _airplay._tcp, _spotify-connect._tcp, etc.) NSAppTransportSecurity with local network exceptions The app correctly prompts for Local Network permission, and permission is granted. Implementation Details Using UDP sockets (react-native-udp) Joining multicast group: 239.255.255.250 Sending SSDP M-SEARCH requests every few seconds Listening for responses via socket on('message') Observed Behavior on iOS UDP socket initializes successfully No errors thrown No SSDP responses received devices array remains empty HTTP-based direct calls to known device IPs work fine Additional Notes The same network, same devices, same code works on Android iOS device is on the same Wi-Fi network Tried both real device and simulator (expected simulator limitations) Questions Is UDP multicast (SSDP) restricted or unreliable on iOS for third-party apps? Are there additional entitlements required to receive multicast responses? Is there any official Apple-recommended approach for discovering LAN devices (other than Bonjour)? Is this a known limitation of iOS networking stack? As a fallback, I’m considering scanning the local subnet via HTTP requests, but that’s less efficient compared to SSDP. Any guidance or clarification from Apple engineers or others who have faced similar issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on April 15th and the $99 payment was successfully charged to my card (confirmed completed in my bank, not pending). However, 3 days later my account at developer.apple.com/account still shows the "Purchase your membership" banner asking me to pay again. Apple's own page says "Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process" but it has been well past that. When I try to access Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, I get this error: "Unable to find a team with the given Team ID S3v98Z34Dh to which you belong. Please contact Apple Developer Program Support." I already submitted a support case via the "Send us a message" form under Membership and Account > Program Purchase and Renewal, but haven't received any response yet. Has anyone experienced this? Is there another way to escalate this or get it resolved faster? I need the account for Sign in with Apple integration and I'm blocked on this. Thanks for any help.

Whenever I try and talk to chatgpt codex in Xcode, I get the request could not be completed error with this tag: JSON-RPC global stream failed: The operation couldn’t be completed. (IDEIntelligenceAgents.JSONRPCElement.Error error 1.) Chatgpt chat still works inside of xcode, however codex does not work. I have not hit my limit for codex. This issue happened after the xcode update. (I belive 26.4.1)

Took app and selected Archive. Selected Direct Distribution. Process completed. I selected export app. Could not elect the app to export since it was greyed out. Queried on both google and Claudie. Followed all the instructions and there is still no joy. Worked fine yesterday.

I cannot get a Jiggle on an iPhone 15 using the iOS 17.0 simulator. I cannot drag icons or widget around, only have the option to remove them. On both the iOS 17.0 and iOS 26.4 (running on an iPhone 17 simulator) There is nothing in my drawer for adding a widget, no system widgets either (attached screenshots). Just the Search Widgets bar that does have widgets in it. The system widgets are in the screen to the left of the home screen. I can put widgets I find through the search on the home screen. Although on the iOS 17 emulator no jiggle means no repositioning. May computer is running MacOS 25.4.1 and the latest versions of everything. I have asked AI, I have tried wipes, locking, unlocking, reseting, re-installing, light mode/ dark mode to refresh any cached images, trying to drag system widgets from the left side of the home screen, "a widget kit development mode option" in settings > developer on the iPhone and something using the command line for chronosd that never worked. The iPhone 17 simulator has been like this for a couple of weeks as that was when I started widget development. The iPhone 15 simulator was only downloaded and installed today. I only know there should be images on the "Widget Gallery" or "Widget Picker" from my son's iPhone Any help or suggestions would be appreciated, Thank you. iPhone 15 simulator running iOS 17.0 iPhone 17 simulator running iOS 26.4.1

I'm trying to add a co-worker to our company's developer account. They got the invitation email and clicked the link, got the email verification code and entered that, and then got the phone number verification code via SMS. When they enter the phone number verification code, they get an error: "Your account cannot be created at this time." Also, I tried to go to developer.apple.com/contact to reach out to support, but it seems that page is broken with a JS error. Any ideas??

Can you please help expedite the request as i doint have any tracking number and without this i wont be able to make the app go public.

I have been using Claude Agent with an Anthropic API Key in Xcode 26.3 for a while now. Recently it stopped working, giving me this error message: API Error (claude-opus-4-6): 400 The provided model identifier is invalid. I have tried relaunching Xcode, signing out and signing back in, changing the default model in the Claude configuration UI and nothing works. I've had to fall back on using the Claude Code CLI and the MCP server, which loses a lot of the value of Xcode/Claude integration.

HI All I ve registered for a developer account almost a week ago. they said it takes 48h. nothing yet. I have logged a ticket at support 2 days ago, still no reply. How long does it take? I need to start publishing my app. Android is ready for more than a week

Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and my payment was processed successfully (Order W1580614343, Invoice UA31378681). I received the invoice confirming the charge. However, my account status has been "Pending" for more than 48 hours, and the developer portal still asks me to "complete your purchase now." It seems the payment was not linked to my enrollment. Could you please look into this and activate my membership, or let me know if anything further is required from my side? Thank you for your help. Best regards, Piotr Skrzypiec

I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program on April 13, 2026 (Order Number: W214****). Payment was completed and the invoice was issued, but my account has not been activated yet. It has now been 4 days. I have not received any activation email, nor any request for identity verification or additional information. Could anyone help? I am waiting to publish my app and this delay is blocking my progress.

I made the payment for the Apple Developer Program, but my membership is still not activated. On the website, it still said: “Purchase your membership. To continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now.” Since it still showed that message, I thought there might be an error. I clicked “Complete your purchase” again, but then I canceled it because I had already paid before and did not want to be charged twice. Now my membership is still not active, and I am confused about whether my original payment is still being processed or whether I caused a problem by clicking and canceling the purchase flow. I emailed to apple support but still didn't get any answers. Idk what to do.

Hi, I am following up on my enrollment issue. My account has been showing Pending for 7 days now. I have an open support case (Case ID: 102866900911) and Apple confirmed they received my documents and would follow up within two business days — but the account is still not activated. Details: Order ID: MT5786ZXVV Date: 11 April 2026 Document: 716118431350 Could any Apple staff please escalate and activate my account? Thank you, Alisher

Hello, I am experiencing an issue when trying to upload my app to App Store Connect via Xcode. I am the Account Holder and Admin of my Apple Developer account, and I can successfully log in to App Store Connect. My account appears correctly under “Users and Access” with full permissions. However, when attempting to distribute my app from Xcode (Product → Archive → Distribute App → App Store Connect), I consistently receive the following error: “App Store Connect access for ‘[my name]’ is required. Add an account in Accounts settings.” “No App Store Connect access for the team” I have already tried the following steps: Verified that my account has Account Holder / Admin role in App Store Connect Logged out and back into Xcode multiple times Removed and re-added my Apple ID in Xcode Restarted Xcode and my Mac Confirmed that my Apple Developer membership is active Checked that all Agreements, Tax, and Banking sections are completed Verified that Apple Distribution and Development certificates are created and valid Ensured the correct Team is selected in Signing & Capabilities Despite all this, the issue persists. It seems like Xcode is not correctly recognizing my App Store Connect access for the team. Could you please help investigate this issue or advise on how to resolve it? Thank you very much in advance.

I am already waiting for 7 days to process my payment for developer enrollment. Already called support but I am onhold on the line for 40minutes+ sometimes and noone pick ups the phone. Is there actually anyone working in Apple support? Who should I contact to either get my money back or make it work at last?

Apple has negged my developer account docs for 6 months. How do I get someone on the phone? I had moved the company’s jurisdictions from EU to USA so it is a new Apple Developer account. In truth, I would rather just update my original account to the new company in USA but I can’t do that either.

My Claude Agent component version was 2.1.81, it prompted me for an update the other day from the original release version 2.1.59. But now that I've installed Xcode 26.4.1 it's back to thinking 2.1.59 is the newest version. With every Xcode release it feels like there's a new regression or weird surprise with coding intelligence (26.4 was Claude losing its OAuth token every 8 hours or so). It really feels like this stuff needs more eyes on it. Filed as FB22529202

Hi everyone, I am writing regarding my Apple Developer Program membership which is not being activated after payment.

I'm running into an issue where it appears the product transaction is being cached and not showing a new iOS system popup dialog to confirm the purchase. This is affecting testing, and I need a solution to have iOS issue a new purchase transaction every time. Here's what happens, I call the following which always succeeds. try await product.purchase(options: [.appAccountToken(appToken)]) I'm signed into a developer sandbox account with a resubscribe every 5 minutes. After cancelling a subscription, I attempt to resubscribe using the same code as above. Frequently, the code executes without iOS showing the popup system dialog to confirm the purchaser. After waiting a period of time, iOS then resets itself and allows me to purchase again. What I want is an option the forces the iOS system confirm purchase dialog to show up every time the code executes. How do I fix this? iOs 26.4.1, iPhone 17 Pro.
