I switch between Project / Tests / Breakpoints using top left pane 100s times a day. I also switch to search using CMD-Shift-F. In Xcode 26.4 I have to tap the <> to open menu. Is there a way to bring back the old behavior. Does any of the UX guys who worked on that feature use Xcode on daily basis? This is so bad :(

Hello, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and successfully completed the payment. Afterward, I received an email requesting identity verification documents, which I have already uploaded. It has now been over the stated 2 business days, but my account status has not been updated. Furthermore, when I log into the Apple Developer portal, it still prompts me to "Complete Enrollment" and asks me to pay the fee again. Because of this, I am unsure if the Enrollment ID currently displayed on my account is the same one from when I originally completed the payment. For your reference to help investigate: Current Enrollment ID: P2N3MR4UDN Order Number: W1498763945 Note: My credit card statement already shows that the payment was charged successfully. Please kindly look into this for me and let me know if everything is on track. Thank you so much for your time and help.

Hello Apple Developer community I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual on April 26, 2026. The payment went through successfully and I received a full receipt by email on April 27, 2026. However, 5 days later: My Apple ID still shows no active membership at developer.apple.com/account Because of this, I cannot access App Store Connect to submit my app On April 29, 2026 I opened a support request via the official contact form and received an automated confirmation with a case number ID is 102881308327. but since then there has been no reply from the Enrollment / Support team. What I have already checked: Spam / Junk / Promotions folders — clean Email filters and blocked senders — clean Apple ID primary email is verified and matches the one on the receipt Notification preferences in my Apple ID account — all enabled Signed out and back in to developer.apple.com — membership still not visible Has anyone experienced a similar delay between successful payment and account activation? Is there a faster way to escalate this to the Enrollment team than waiting on the existing case? My app is fully ready to submit and every day of delay is critical for my project deadline. I m guidance from Apple staff would be hugely appreciated. Thank you!

I am using objective-c to develop a custom keyboard on iPhone X to run in landscape orientation. I want my to make use of the full iPhone X screen and have my custom keyboard layout extending from left edge to right edge of the screen in landscape orientation.No matter what I try, my custom keyboard layout stays confined in the safe area.What do you recommend?Thank you

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm seeing a persistent crash in my iOS app reported via Firebase Crashlytics. The issue only started appearing on devices running iOS 26.3.0 and above (the crash does not occur on lower iOS versions, and it's unrelated to my app's version number). Key points: My app does NOT use any Text-to-Speech (TTS) features whatsoever. No AVSpeechSynthesizer, no Speech framework, no related APIs called from our code. My app is primarily written in Objective-C (with some Swift components possibly via dependencies). The crash stack is entirely within Apple's private TextToSpeech framework, specifically in ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance(). I suspect it might be indirectly triggered by a third-party ad SDK (e.g., Google Mobile Ads, AppLovin, etc.) that could be loading or interacting with accessibility features in the background — but this is just a hypothesis, as I have no direct evidence yet. Here is one representative crash log: Crashed: com.apple.root.user-initiated-qos.cooperative 0 TextToSpeech 0x6bb00 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 99800 1 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 2 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 3 TextToSpeech 0x1a0b9c ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 1365620 4 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x628b4 swift::runJobInEstablishedExecutorContext(swift::Job*) + 288 5 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x63d28 swift_job_runImpl(swift::Job*, swift::SerialExecutorRef) + 156 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x13f48 _dispatch_root_queue_drain + 364 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x146fc _dispatch_worker_thread2 + 180 8 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x137c _pthread_wqthread + 232 9 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x8c0 start_wqthread + 8 The crash occurs on a background cooperative queue (Swift Concurrency). Questions: Has anyone else seen crashes inside ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() in TextToSpeech on iOS 26.3.0+ even without using TTS in their app? Could a third-party ad SDK be causing the TextToSpeech framework to load unexpectedly (e.g., via accessibility preloading)? Is this a known bug in iOS 26's Spoken Content / Speak Selection features? Any workarounds or fixes from Apple? Any insights, similar reports (especially from Objective-C based apps), or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Few days ago I paid $99 and uploaded my ID and didn’t get more info how long its going to take.

I created an apple developer account as an individual developer, paid the $99 fee and was testing my app with it. I was able to distribute several builds with it into internal testflight and was ready to submit for review and listing. When it came time to submit the app I wanted to submit as an LLC (instead of invidual developer) so I called into support who said that is totally fine but they need to migrate it and asked me to submit paperwork for that and start the process. I did all that (which costed even more money and time) and they confirmed that the migration is underway. A few weeks later there were no updates so I called in again and was told that the migration was declined. Furthermore, due to this partial migration, I am also unable to distribute an app even tp internal testflight anymore (which I could do before). So I called in again and I asked if I can submit as an individual dev and was told that I can and they can set it back to an individual dev account. The support person said that she qill submit a request for that. So I waited a few more weeks for an update of which there was none. I call in again and now they tell me that they can't reset it back to an individual developer account and that I have to create a new account if I want to work on an app and that requires paying the fees again and further that they can't even refund me the fees I already paid. Is this a common occurrance? what is my recourse here?

I am writing to request an update on my Apple Developer Program enrollment status. I completed the payment of 1,029.00 TRY on April 26, 2026, and I have already received the official invoice (Order ID: MC67397151) via email on April 28. Furthermore, I have already uploaded and submitted my government-issued ID as requested for identity verification. However, my account status has remained "Pending" for 4 days now. Could you please review my application and let me know if there are any further actions required from my side to finalize the activation?

Hi. I purchased to join Apple Developer Program on April 22. Payment was made, documents was uploaded but after 8 days I had no response about the process, if something fails, etc. Could you please help me to get an update about the process? Thank you!

I created an new Apple developer account, completed enrollment by finalizing the payment and uploading my Passport, yet there has not been any correspondence or approval since 8 days and the dashboard still shows I need to complete the payment to enroll, while I have a transaction in my bank account and received the invoice+confirmation. Not getting any response via phone or email contact. Where can I reach out / what can I do? It's quite annoying as we're losing momentum.

Hello Apple, Just subsribed to the DEV Program and paid the $99 fee. But my account still says pending and to complete enrollment. Do I simply need to wait 1-2 business days before we can begin deploying our app? Please advise. Thank you, Ken

Order: W1480222859 Case: 102881078750 I submitted my National ID card on April 25, 2026. Received confirmation email that review would take 2 business days, but it has now been 5 days with no update. Account still shows "Purchase your membership." Please review my enrollment status.

Dear Apple Community, I have the below notification to re-enroll for Apple Developer account, but there is not button in any of these areas. I am looking for urgent help. Apple have not responded to my email requests. I am desperate for assistance. "Your Apple Developer Program membership has expired. Any apps you had on the App Store are no longer available for download and you can no longer access membership benefits. If you’d like to renew your membership to reinstate your apps and membership benefits, open the Apple Developer app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Sign in to your account, tap/click Renew, and follow the prompts.If you agreed to the Paid Applications Agreement, you’ll need to agree to it again after renewal in the Business section of App Store Connect." Please help. Best wishes and many thanks.

Hello, My Enrollment ID: T7QXDY4LM6. I submitted application business days ago. However, the status remains ‘Pending’ ‘Your enrollment is being processed’ and I have not received any further instructions or payment link. This delay is significantly impacting our project timeline and business launch. I have tried to contact support via emails without success. Could Apple Developer Enrollment Team escalate this case for me right now please?

I have paid and uploaded my driving license and I have been charged. No enrolment confirmation and if I I visit again I'm only prompted to pay again. I have logged a case and contacted "support"who do not respond to emails and on the phone I have waited multiple times for 1hr+ and no-one picks up. "Normal"apple support say they can't contact apple developer support. I'm SO ANNOYED. 4 days of this now. no end in sight. now I can't even make a call back request as entering my number generates a "we cannot process this request"or similar message

Hi. I have submitted all required documents, and paid the yearly fee but now my Developer application on iphone and mac say that "Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple account" and to visit website. When I visit website it wants me to pay again to continue. Is that normal? In my Apple subscriptions I can see it already active, and it for sure was paid, eg. deducted from my bank account

Order: W1480222859 Enrollment ID: M7TXT2MAAM Case: 102881078750 Submitted identity document but no update. Account still shows "Purchase your membership. (Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.)" Please review.

Xcode 26.3 MCP xcode-tools: RunSomeTests / RunAllTests response violates tool output schema (missing required errors per test) I’m using the MCP server “xcode-tools” shipped with Xcode 26.3 to run tests. Two tools fail consistently due to a schema mismatch: RunSomeTests RunAllTests Steps Call XcodeListWindows and get a valid tabIdentifier for my workspace. Call GetTestList with that tabIdentifier. This works and returns test identifiers like: ChatKitManagerCreationTests/testInitializesWithDependencies() Call RunSomeTests with tests = [{ targetName, testIdentifier }, …] (or call RunAllTests). Actual result The tool call fails with an MCP schema validation error like: Structured content does not match the tool's output schema: data/results/0 must have required property 'errors', data/results/1 must have required property 'errors', ... Why this looks like an xcode-tools bug According to the tool descriptor JSON for RunSomeTests / RunAllTests, each element of results[] is required to contain: targetName identifier displayName state errors (required, array of strings) But the actual response returned by RunSomeTests / RunAllTests appears to omit the errors field for one or more results (for passed tests it should still be present as an empty array []). Expected result RunSomeTests / RunAllTests always return structured content matching their declared output schema. In particular, every results[i] should include errors: [] when there are no errors. Environment Xcode: 26.3 macOS: Darwin 25.4.0 Workspace: Grocery.xcworkspace Scheme: GroceryCoreTests Active test plan: GroceryCoreTests Question Is this a known issue in Xcode 26.3’s MCP xcode-tools? Is there a workaround (e.g. alternative output mode, or reading a full summary file) until the schema/response is fixed?

On watchOS, the Developer Mode entry under Settings -> Privacy & Security is hidden by default and only appears after Xcode has attempted to connect to the watch as a development device. In my case, once Xcode triggers that surfacing, opening Settings -> Privacy & Security on the watch prompts for a 4-digit Screen Time passcode before granting access. No Screen Time passcode I set on the paired iPhone is accepted at this prompt, which prevents me from reaching the Developer Mode toggle to enable it. The passcode prompt only appears in this specific state. With no Xcode connection attempt (and therefore no Developer Mode entry surfaced in the menu), Settings → Privacy & Security opens normally on the watch with no prompt at all. Environment macOS: Tahoe 26.4.1 (Build 25E253) Xcode: 26.4.1 (24909.0.3) (Build 17E202) iPhone: iOS 26.4.2 Apple Watch: Ultra 3 running watchOS 26.4 All devices on release software (no betas). Xcode error Developer Mode disabled Domain: com.apple.dt.deviceprep Code: -28 Recovery Suggestion: To use [Watch Name] for development, enable Developer Mode in Settings → Privacy & Security. User Info: { DVTErrorCreationDateKey = "2026-04-30 09:38:57 +0000"; "com.apple.dt.DVTCoreDevice.operationName" = checkDeveloperMode; } Reproduction Pair Apple Watch to iPhone (paired fresh, set up as new, not restored from backup). Connect iPhone to Mac running Xcode 26.4.1. Before any Xcode connection attempt, open Settings -> Privacy & Security on the watch. The menu opens normally with no passcode prompt. There is no Developer Mode entry visible. In Xcode, attempt to use the Apple Watch as a run destination. Xcode returns the -28 / Developer Mode disabled error above and instructs me to enable Developer Mode in Settings -> Privacy & Security on the watch. After this attempt, the Developer Mode entry is surfaced in Settings -> Privacy & Security on the watch. Open Settings -> Privacy & Security on the watch in this surfaced state. The menu now prompts for a 4-digit Screen Time passcode before allowing access. The passcodes I have set on the paired iPhone are rejected. The passcode prompt is therefore conditional on the Developer Mode entry having been surfaced by a recent Xcode connection attempt. In step 3 (no surfacing) the menu opens freely; in step 6 (surfacing in effect) the menu is gated. What I have already tried Confirmed Screen Time is disabled on the paired iPhone. Confirmed Share Across Devices is enabled. Confirmed Content & Privacy Restrictions is off on the iPhone. Confirmed I am an adult in my Family Sharing group (not a managed/child account). Confirmed there are no configuration profiles installed (Settings -> General -> VPN & Device Management is empty). Set a fresh Screen Time passcode on the iPhone. Not accepted by the watch prompt. Used Forgot Passcode? → Apple ID authentication to reset the Screen Time passcode and set a new one. Not accepted by the watch prompt. Turned the Screen Time passcode off entirely on the iPhone. The watch still prompts for one when Xcode is connecting. Unpaired the Apple Watch and re-paired as new (not restored from backup). Issue persists. Tried entering the watch's own device passcode at the prompt. Not accepted. Question What credential is the watch's Privacy & Security menu actually checking against once the Developer Mode entry has been surfaced, and how can it be reset or cleared from a paired iPhone? Is anyone else seeing this conditional gating where the menu is only locked in the post-surfacing state? Any pointers from the Xcode / watchOS tools team would be appreciated. Happy to provide sysdiagnose or further details on request.

Hi, I can sign in to my Apple ID, but my Apple Developer account shows a “closed” status and I’m unable to access App Store Connect features. My app is currently showing “Ready for Distribution,” so the account appears active, but developer access is restricted. I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support and am waiting for their response. Also, I temporarily can’t access my primary email due to a verification issue, so I’ve provided an alternate contact email and phone number in my support request. Has anyone experienced a similar situation or knows possible reasons for a “closed” developer status while the app remains approved? Thanks.
