I have developed a fun living diorama world using Reality Composer Pro and XCode. Everything is as it should be, and it looks/works great ... until it does not. If I seem to make any change to any of the 10 timelines that I am using (all on the same scene, no nested scenes), running the app in simulator, device, and via testflight throws errors around compiled timelines, leading to the black screen of death. Every time I clean and run, the timelines in questions might change. Its very frustrating and impossible to track down. Heres are some examples. AssetLoadRequest failed because asset failed to load '/ (3661553931319769725 Timeline (RealityFileAsset)URL/file:///var/containers/Bundle/Application/F4408256-6014-4264-9E4B-F74AEF0EDE53/SantasVillage.app/RealityKitContent_RealityKitContent.bundle/RealityKitContent.reality/Timeline_779.compiledtimeline)' (failed to register asset) Asset / (13631856135570808851 AnimationLibraryAsset (RealityFileAsset)URL/file:///var/containers/Bundle/Application/F4408256-6014-4264-9E4B-F74AEF0EDE53/SantasVillage.app/RealityKitContent_RealityKitContent.bundle/RealityKitContent.reality/AnimationLibraryAsset_1.compiledanimationlibraryasset) failure: failed to register asset Asset 10430065658338454790 AnimationScene (RealityFileAsset)URL/file:///var/containers/Bundle/Application/F4408256-6014-4264-9E4B-F74AEF0EDE53/SantasVillage.app/RealityKitContent_RealityKitContent.bundle/RealityKitContent.reality/AnimationScene_14.compiledanimationscene failure: failed to register asset I went with recommended fixes of closing RCP > Clean Build Folder > Delete Derrived Date (multiple ways) > Re-Open Xcode > Reset Package Cache > Re-Open RCP via XCode > Make a Change > Save > Clean Build Folder Again > Run. Sometimes it works. Most times it does not. I then found my own little work-around, but its not always working as is literally costing me days of wasted time messing around with this. I will DISABLE all timelines, do the above clean method, rerun with no timelines, and it resolves. Then, turn on timelines ONE BY ONE and run until I get another error. Then, rebuild that timeline and nothing else. This is not sustainable. There must be some better way to do this? Or, perhaps I am doing something wrong? Please help if you can.

I have a Unity AR project that I want to build for iOS. The build in Unity succeeds just fine, but when it opens in XCode, whatever I do, it keeps showing this error in GameAssembly: "Command PhaseScriptExecution failed with a nonzero exit code". This error also doesn't open when choosing "Reveal in Log". I have added the IL2CPP package in the Unity version, deleted and reentered scenes and no issue on Unity's side. On XCode I signed in with my developer account, tried deleting derived data, made a clean build and still the issue persists.

Frustrated developer here. I’ve been dealing with Apple developers via telephone and have been submitting a case a week for the last four weeks with the same response “The developers are reviewing your application“. How long does it take to review an application? It’s weird because I started the same process with Google at the same time and they are now reviewing my app for publishing.

Hello , I need some help regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I purchased the Developer Program on December 3rd, 2025 at 16:03 (Turkey time). The payment was successfully processed by my bank, and I also received the official Apple Store receipt email confirming the purchase. However, my Developer account still shows: • “Purchase your membership” • “Your purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.” • Enrollment status: Pending • App Store Connect still not accessible It has now been more than 5 days, and the enrollment has not been activated. Here are the details: • Region: Turkey • Payment amount: 1029 TRY (local pricing for the Developer Program) • Payment status: Completed / Posted (not pending) • Case ID with Apple Support: 102769533427 • I have already opened a support case, but there has been no resolution yet. I would appreciate any guidance from others who experienced similar issues. Is this a known delay for Turkey-based accounts, or does it usually require manual activation by Apple Support? Any suggestions or insights would be very helpful. Thank you!

Hi, I accidentally upgraded my test device (iPhone 13 mini) to iOS 26. I really need to downgrade it to 18.7.X again. It seems this isn't possible since Apple doesn't sign the .ipsw anymore. Is there really no way for a paying developer to downgrade her test devices? (Please don't tell me to use the support forums, this is a concerning a developer test device)

I'm really sick of Apple and their BS kickbacks they get from github and the other source control outfits restricting what source control packages we can use inside of XCode. We have used Code Commit with AWS for YEARS! We are not switching but apple's Xcode will not allow us to add it as an account. We used to be able to use it, but Apple took away the GIT account setup so now you have to use one of their kickback outfits. This is complete BS Apple. Even AWS realized how important Code Commit is and made it available to everyone again and pledged full support going forward. How about you get off your collective sixes and do the same. I'd like an explanation on why you took away the one feature that allows us to use what works for us.

Hello, I need help with an issue regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I completed the payment for the annual membership and received the official invoice from Apple. My card was charged successfully, and I have all the payment references. However, after the payment was processed: My account remained in Pending status The message “Complete your purchase” kept appearing When attempting the payment again, the system reported that the order was already paid Now the enrollment flow has reset completely, and the system is asking me to start enrollment and pay again, even though the first payment was successful This seems like a synchronization issue where the payment was recorded in the Apple Online Store system, but not linked to my Developer enrollment. I do not want to be charged again, since the first transaction was already completed. Could someone from Apple please help link the payment to my Apple ID or advise how to activate my membership? Right now my account cannot proceed with enrollment and I cannot access App Store Connect.

Hi, I am working through the https://developer.apple.com/tutorials/app-dev-training/editing-reminders The app runs as described, but in the Xcode 26.1.1 console, I get numerous warnings that say: Warning: You are setting a new content configuration to a cell that has an existing content configuration, but the existing content view does not support the new configuration. This means the existing content view must be replaced with a new content view created from the new configuration, instead of updating the existing content view directly, which is expensive. Use separate registrations or reuse identifiers for different types of cells to avoid this. Make a symbolic breakpoint at UIContentConfigurationAlertForReplacedContentView to catch this in the debugger. Does this app need to be updated for Xcode 26, or are there settings in Xcode 26 that I need to make to get rid of these warnings? Thanks

Hello, About 7-8 months ago, I received an e-mail stating that my apple developer account would be deleted after 30 days, and my account was deleted after 30 days. I tried to contact many times, I got hopeful each time, but the Apple team never gave a full explanation. They always responded saying they would be interested, but it never came to fruition. In fact, I was most excited when I received the following e-mail: Hello Oğuzcan, My name is Joel, and I’m a senior Advisor with Developer Support. Your case has been given to me for further handling, and I’m happy to follow up with you today. I understand that you have initiated a conversation in our developer forums. Please, provide us more information and show us the email that you received, so we will assist your better. Please, reply to the received email for obtaining more information as the appropriate team will be able to assist you better. Please, reply to this email if you have further questions. Have a great day. Best Regards, Joel Developer Support I was very hopeful when I read that he was a Senior Advisor. This e-mail came on July 28, 18:17, today is December 8, 2025. I'm giving up hope now, my account won't be opened again. My members ask why there are no iOS versions of my applications, this is very difficult for me. Does anyone have any recommendations? I filled out forms and created requests many times.

I'm developing for compliance with Texas law in the United States. Currently, I'm encountering an issue where I want to test the feature point "when the app undergoes significant changes, a supervised user initiates a request." However, during actual testing, the app pops up an error message: "Can't Ask, An Unknown error occurred." Additionally, I see the following error message in the Xcode Console: "Error Domain=AskToCore.ATMessageComposeValidationError Code=4 'The user is in a region that does not support this type of ask.' UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=The user must be in a supported region to use this feature., NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Please ensure the user is in an eligible region., NSLocalizedDescription=The user is in a region that does not support this type of ask.}" I am indeed not in the Texas region. I want to conduct full-process testing before the feature is released to the App Store. What should I do? Apart from Sandbox testing (which, in fact, doesn't show any pop-ups either), how can I test under real-world conditions?

I have Mac mini intel, and updated top Sequia 15.7.2 and updated Xcode to 26 and now it crashes on launch. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still crashes. I uninstalled and installed Xcode 16.4 and that crashes on launch also. I've looked all over for help but cannot find anything. Can anyone please help me with this?

Hi, I am trying to update my apps and i couldn't do it, can anyone please help? this is what happened to me. Once my membership renewed, i couldn't compile my apps due to signing error. here is the error message: Xcode archive done. 31.7s Failed to build iOS app Error (Xcode): Communication with Apple failed: Your team has no devices from which to generate a provisioning profile. Connect a device to use or manually add device IDs in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. https://developer.apple.com/account/ /Users/tony/vn246/ios/Runner.xcodeproj when I go to the portal developer.apple.com/account to create the Provisioning Profile manually then it said there is no device, and when i go into the Devices section then the machine uuid is added and it's there and registered, i had always been compiling with it before the old membership was expired. I tried to remove those and re-added and the error still persisted. P.S.: I renewed all my certificates (removed old and recreated new) thank you

I have recently paid for the Apple developer program. I have been trying now for days to get enrolled. I’ve paid my money, but I can’t connect my Apple connect and it says my account is pending. I can’t get anybody on the phone or an email to help me figure out what the problem is. I’m not exactly sure what to do which direction to go at this point if someone could please direct me to somebody that could help me with this I would truly appreciate it. Thank you very much. I’ll be looking forward to working with you all soon. If I could just get my account in order, can somebody please help me with this?.

Stale TBD Files Cause Runtime Crash When Framework Changes from Dynamic to Static Summary When using EAGER_LINKING=YES, Xcode generates TBD files for dynamic frameworks. When a framework changes from dynamic to static, Xcode doesn't remove the stale TBD, causing dyld: Library not loaded crash at runtime. Environment Xcode 16.4 (16F6), macOS Darwin 24.6.0, iOS Simulator 18.5 Steps to Reproduce Project Structure: MainApp (EAGER_LINKING=YES) ProjectA/SharedLib (dynamic, mh_dylib) ProjectB/SharedLib (static, staticlib) Steps: Build with ProjectA (dynamic framework) → TBD created in EagerLinkingTBDs Switch workspace to ProjectB (static framework) without cleaning DerivedData Build again → BUILD SUCCEEDED Run app → CRASH: dyld: Library not loaded Root Cause Xcode adds -F EagerLinkingTBDs before -F Build/Products: -F/.../EagerLinkingTBDs/Debug-iphonesimulator ← checked FIRST -F/.../Build/Products/Debug-iphonesimulator ← checked SECOND The linker finds the stale TBD first and treats the framework as dynamic, even though the actual binary is now static. Evidence # SharedLib is static $ file SharedLib.framework/SharedLib current ar archive random library # But stale TBD still exists $ ls EagerLinkingTBDs/.../SharedLib.framework/ SharedLib.tbd ← STALE! # MainApp incorrectly references dynamic library $ otool -L MainApp.app/MainApp.debug.dylib | grep SharedLib @rpath/SharedLib.framework/SharedLib ← WRONG! Attempted Workarounds (All Failed) Workaround Result FRAMEWORK_SEARCH_PATHS = "$(BUILT_PRODUCTS_DIR)" "$(inherited)" Xcode still adds EagerLinkingTBDs first EAGER_LINKING = YES on static framework Build failure - empty TBD OTHER_LDFLAGS modifications Linker still uses TBD Expected Behavior When a framework changes from dynamic to static, Xcode should remove the stale TBD file from EagerLinkingTBDs. Suggested Fix Remove TBD files when building static library targets Track MACH_O_TYPE changes and invalidate TBD files accordingly

I got an invite to join an App Store Connect account. When trying to register, I get stuck when trying to enter the 2FA code I got to my phone number. Please have a look here: https://www.loom.com/share/6ed2d55ae05f4290a697d103081d7ade I already have this phone number registered with my work account. Not sure, if this is relevant.

Just recently, any pkg file that I create with pkgbuild will install the Payload's application as a zero-byte file in the /Applications directory. This has been working for years without issue for me. Here are the commands I am using with company specific items replaced: pkgbuild --analyze --root MyApplicationRootDirectory standalone.plist plutil -replace BundleIsRelocatable -bool NO standalone.plist pkgbuild --identifier MyIdentifier --version 1.0 --install-location /Applications --root MyApplicationRootDirectory --component-plist standalone.plist --sign 'Developer ID Installer: MyCompany (MySignId)' --timestamp installer.pkg Any ideas on what could be causing the issue? I have verified the following: The application being added to the pkg is both signed and notarized using the correct Developer ID Application certificate. The resultant pkg file is both signed and notarized using the Developer ID Installer certificate. Verified the pkg contents using "pkgutil --expand" to dump the contents. Verified the pkg's Payload contents by extracting the data using "cat Payload | gunzip | cpio -1". This results in an application file that is a binary match for file added in the "pkgbuild --root" argument. My application is the only file within the directory passed to the "pkgbuild --root" argument. There are no warnings in the System Settings / Privacy & Security Panel when running the package installer. I have a valid Mac Developer account. I am building the application and the pkg file on the same computer. Thank you for any insight.

Hi everyone, I’m unable to enable Xcode Cloud for any app on my account. At the final step of the Xcode workflow setup (“Confirm App on App Store Connect”), pressing Complete always returns: “ could not be added to Xcode Cloud. Authentication credentials are invalid.” This affects both existing apps and completely new test apps with fresh bundle IDs. What I’ve verified • I am Account Holder and Admin. • All agreements are accepted. • App creation, bundle ID registration, and certificate management work normally. • I’ve removed/re-added my Apple ID in Xcode and cleared all Xcode-* tokens from Keychain. • Test apps in clean Git repos reproduce the same error. Support I have already opened Case ID 102769512657 with Apple Developer Support, but I’m posting here in case others have seen this issue or know of additional steps to confirm the provisioning state.

Hello All, I am new to apple ecosystem. We have a xcode project whose code is scattered across different repos. We are trying setup CI/CD for this Xcode project to get build so that we could know build issue. Clone/Update all repos – which I can do via some script Generate xcode projects from sources synced in step 1. This is where we want your help. How should we approach this? What apple suggest for this ? In this step we don't want to use any third part tool (like CMake) to generate Xcode projects. Build targets to know build errors – This we can easily do via xcodebuild command line tool. Please share you input/thought on this. Your input is highly appreciated.
