Can't enroll; support is totally useless
https://developer.apple.com/enroll/identity/status Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time. That's all I get. I contacted email support, they took seven days to respond with this message: Hello, Thank you for contacting Developer Support. I would first like to apologize for this delayed answer. It is certainly not the normal waiting time for an answer from Developer Support. We are currently facing a huge number of requests from our customers and your patience is well appreciated. I understand you are having issues submitting your enrollment. We can’t verify your identity with the Apple Developer app or provide further assistance with the Apple Account for Apple developer programs. You can still take advantage of great content using your Apple Account in Xcode to develop and test apps on your own device. Learn more about Xcode development. If you have additional questions related to this request, reply to this email or visit your recent cases. Your case number is 102856745558. Best regards, Christopher Developer Support So they didn't even try to do anything to solve my problem. I replied and 13 days later still no response. So I opened up a new email support case while trying to get the phone support going. Phone support was just as useless. They did a "deep dive" and then came back with literally no more information than the support email. I asked about what my options for escalating this were and they had no suggestions. Next I tried creating a new apple account, this failed whenever I got to the step where you need to enter a 2FA code from a phone, probably because I reused the same phone number since of course I only have one phone number. I got a reply from the second email support case: Hello Christopher, My name is Samira with Developer Support and I’ll be assisting you today. We can’t verify your identity with the Apple Developer app or provide further assistance with the Apple Account for Apple developer programs. You can still take advantage of great content using your Apple Account in Xcode to develop and test apps on your own device. Learn more about Xcode development. If you have any additional questions, please use this reference case number: 102876150205 Best regards, Samira Developer Support Same useless response. They obviously need to escalate this to an engineer who can actually find out what's broken, but I've exhausted every single thing I could myself and the only consistent thing I see is that literally every step of every process is broken in some way.

Xcode Command Line Tools update not wanted, but persists
I am running Tahoe 26.4.1 on a MacBook Air, M4, 2025. In System Settings, I have an item heading of Software Update Available. Clicking on that brings up "Command Line Tools for Xcode 26.4". The only available choices are to Update Now or Cancel. In the past, I was developing a game, but have quit working on that, and deleted Xcode and Command Line Tools. Wanting the "Command Line Tools ..." line to disappear from System Settings, I called Apple Support, and at their request have followed the steps in "https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/installing-the-command-line-tools" to delete this entry in System Settings, namely the 2 sudo's in that article under the section "Uninstall the command line tools". This did not cause the "Command Line Tools for Xcode 26.4" line in System Settings to disappear (as I was told by Apple support that it would, because I would be deleting the receipt). In Terminal, I did indeed receive a response of "No receipt for 'com.apple.dt.commandlinetools' found at '/'.". I have called developer support, but the individual I spoke with had no useful guidance on how to finish this issue, except to post to the Forum. I would appreciate any guidance on how to delete the "Command Line Tools ..." entry from System Settings.

Enrollment blocked after identity docs uploaded — name mismatch between passport holder and billing (Kazakhstan, Case 102874149779)
Hi everyone, Sharing my case to get visibility, and to ask if anyone has dealt with a similar name-mismatch situation between passport and billing card. Timeline: April 17, 2026 — Enrolled in Apple Developer Program and paid $99 (Order D004772863, Invoice MC65387000). Account holder and Apple ID: me (Turan Mural, turanalemfilms [at] gmail.com, Kazakhstan). April 17, 2026 — Same day, received the identity verification request from developer [at] email.apple.com asking for passport and Kazakhstan national ID. Uploaded both immediately via the official upload link (developer.apple.com/contact/file-upload/). Passport: valid, current, matches my Apple ID name. April 17 – 20 — Complete silence. No confirmation of document receipt, no status change. April 20 — Submitted support request. Case ID 102874149779. Only an automated acknowledgement. April 22 — After 5 days of silence, requested withdrawal to try a fresh start. Apple confirmed withdrawal automatically with no guidance on refund or reinstatement. April 22 — Opened second support ticket. Same automated response, zero human contact. Likely root cause (my guess): The card used for payment belongs to my spouse (common family arrangement in Kazakhstan), so the billing name on the order shows her name, while the uploaded passport is mine. I suspect automated review flagged this mismatch and no human picked it up. Questions for the community: Has anyone resolved a case like this where the payment card holder differs from the developer account holder? For those with blocked enrollments after docs were uploaded — what channel actually got a human response? Is it safer to wait for the original case to resolve, or to push for a refund and re-enroll with a payment method in my own name? If anyone from Apple Developer Relations is reading: please review Case 102874149779. All requested documentation was submitted on the same day it was asked for. I am happy to provide a marriage certificate or any additional verification needed. Thank you.

Developer Account Membership Expired – Cannot Find Renewal Option (Team ID: 532YXBDAKC)
Hi everyone, My Apple Developer Program membership has expired on March 11, 2026, and I am unable to find any option to renew it. Team ID: 532YXBDAKC I have checked the following places but there is no renewal option available anywhere: The Apple Developer website (developer.apple.com) – no renewal button or prompt visible in my account The Apple Developer app on Mac – no renewal option found The Apple Developer app on iPhone – no renewal option found I would like to renew my membership as soon as possible, but I am completely stuck as there is no clear path to do so. Has anyone else faced this issue? How can I get this resolved? Is there a direct way to contact Apple Developer support for membership renewal? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Unable to Enroll in Apple Developer Program – “Unknown Error” + No Response from Support
Hi everyone, I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I’m completely blocked and running out of options. Every time I attempt to complete the enrollment, I get a generic “Unknown error” message. There’s no additional detail, no error code, and no indication of what might be causing the issue. Here’s what I’ve already tried: Different browsers (Chrome, Safari) Different devices Clearing cache and cookies Different networks Retrying over multiple days I also contacted Apple support: I currently have 3 open cases via email, with no response so far I tried calling support, but they told me they are not able to help with developer program issues At this point, I’m stuck — I can’t proceed with enrollment, and I’m not getting any guidance from official support channels. Has anyone experienced something similar or found a workaround? Also, if someone from Apple is monitoring this forum, I would really appreciate help escalating this issue or at least getting visibility into what’s going wrong. Happy to provide more details (region, account type, screenshots, etc.) if needed. Thanks in advance 🙏

Storefront.current?.countryCode returns inconsistent values in TestFlight builds
Hi, We're experiencing inconsistent and unexpected values returned by Storefront.current?.countryCode when running our app via TestFlight. In our case: The device region and locale are set to Poland The App Store account (Media & Purchases) is also set to Poland However, when running a TestFlight build, Storefront.current?.countryCode sometimes returns a completely different value (e.g. "NO" for Norway), which does not match the current App Store account configuration. Here's the code we're using: if #available(iOS 15.0, *) { let code = await Storefront.current?.countryCode print("Storefront countryCode:", code ?? "nil") } What's particularly confusing: Across different devices logged into the same App Store account, we sometimes receive different countryCode values The returned value does not seem to reflect the current App Store region or device settings We understand that Storefront reflects the App Store storefront and not the device locale, but in this case the value appears stale or incorrect even with a properly configured App Store account. Questions: Is Storefront.current?.countryCode expected to behave differently in TestFlight vs. production builds? Are there known caching or propagation delays for storefront updates across devices? Can TestFlight builds return outdated or inconsistent storefront values? What is the recommended way to reliably determine the user's App Store region in this scenario? We rely on storefront to determine regional availability of features, so understanding this behavior is important for us. Thanks in advance for any clarification!

Xcode 26 Is a Productivity Killer: Removes Option To Open Files in New Window Tab
FB19249805 Main: The option to open files in New Window Tab doesn't appear anywhere in either Preferences or the contextual menu on clicking the files in the project (unlike previous Xcode versions). Only the option to open in New Tab is available (which is useless). This BREAKS EXISTING WORKFLOWS that have been established through years for countless developers. I can only see the option to open in New Tab, which breaks all existing workflows and habits. This results in an astonishing blow to productivity. Dear Xcode team: Please restore this option immediately! Additional details: Several years ago (I've been using Xcode since version 2), Xcode renamed the normal tabs into "Window Tabs" and introduced new "Tabs". The new "Tabs" proved to be a useless and counterproductive option for the following reasons: -They cannot be used in Behaviors. (Only Window Tabs can be, and many workflows have been built around this.) -It takes much longer to load a file into a Tab than into a Window Tab (where files are loaded nearly instantly). -Navigators and Inspectors cannot be customized for individual Tabs (only for Window Tabs). -Using both Tabs and Window Tabs is not an option, as it adds another tab bar that eats an enormous part of screen real estate without providing any benefits. Fortunately, we didn't have to use Tabs and could just disable them into oblivion where they belong. Now, in Xcode 26, the option to open files in new Window Tabs is gone. Really, I can only classify it as intentional sabotage. Many years of my Xcode habits and workflows are based on opening files in New Window Tabs via the Preferences > Navigation > With Option option. Or via the contextual menu. Now this option is gone. I'm sure there are plenty of other developers in the same situation. Please reenable the option to open in New Window Tabs. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Enrollment Issue: Developer Program Membership Payment Not Reflected
Dear Apple Developer Support Team, I am writing to request assistance with my Apple Developer Program membership status. On Wednesday, April 15, I completed the payment of $99 for a one-year individual membership. However, five days have passed, and my account status has not yet been updated. When I log into the Apple Developer portal, it continues to prompt me to "Purchase Membership" rather than showing my account as active. Could you please review my account and manually update the enrollment status so I can begin using the developer services? If there is any additional information required from my side, please let me know. Thank you for your time and assistance. Best regards, Ibrahim Asery

Xcode 26.4.1: Another blow to productivity: the update resets all windows and tabs
FB22576466 Another update - another blow to developers' productivity from the Xcode team, and more time wasted. Xcode 26.4.1 reset all windows and tabs in all projects. All carefully set up window tabs in multiple projects, as well as the ones that were previously open, are gone. Developers now have to set them up manually again. Ok there's nothing that can be done in 26.4.1 already; the damage has already been done. But dear Xcode development team... just DON'T. DO. THIS. AGAIN. Please! Tanks.

Previews crash after making change to Swift Package version
Previews seemed to be working okay. However, I wanted to test out some changes inside of a package that I'm working on for work, but in a lighter project since in our main project (where I have the package pulled in locally for now) is just too big to have the previews render in a decent amount of time. So, I opened a small project that was already importing that package and was set to 'Up to Next Major', but I switched that to 'branch' and added my branch. This is the second time I've done that and it causes Xcode to freak out in terms of the previews. This is the code I have: import SwiftUI extension EnvironmentValues { @Entry var trailingDescriptionColorToken: Color = .secondary } extension View { func updateTrailingDescriptionColor(to colorToken: Color, when trigger: Bool) -> some View { environment(\.trailingDescriptionColorToken, trigger ? colorToken : .secondary) } } // MARK: - ListItemDescription public struct ListItemDescription: View { @Environment(\.trailingDescriptionColorToken) var trailingDescriptionColorToken let description: String init(_ description: String) { self.description = description } public var body: some View { Text(description) .font(.caption) .foregroundStyle(trailingDescriptionColorToken) } } struct ContentView: View { @State private var isError = false var body: some View { VStack { Button("Error Trigger") { isError.toggle() } ListItemDescription("Description") .updateTrailingDescriptionColor(to: .red, when: isError) } .padding() } } #Preview { ContentView() } As soon as I tap the button to toggle the isError state property, that causes the preview canvas to indefinitely load and spin eventually leading to a crash. This is infuriating as I've just wasted a ton of time at work trying to figure out what's going on. Xcode and SPM is so fragile and delicate that at this point I feel like if I breathe on it wrong it'll break. I'm not sure what fixed it last time. Nothing in Xcode makes sense anymore. How to I resolve this please?

Pending Apple Developer support cases for region/entity update
Hi devs and Apple support team, I’m waiting for updates on two Apple Developer Support cases: 102870790200 102870755282 Both are related to changing my Apple Developer / App Store Connect region and entity information from UAE to Kazakhstan. The requests were submitted last Thursday (5 days ago), and I still haven’t received any update. This is currently blocking my app release. Has anyone dealt with a similar issue, and is this waiting time normal for this type of request? Thank you very much.

Enrollment blocked after identity docs uploaded — name mismatch between passport holder and billing (Kazakhstan, Case 102874149779)
Hi everyone, Sharing my case to get visibility, and to ask if anyone has dealt with a similar name-mismatch situation between passport and billing card. Timeline: April 17, 2026 — Enrolled in Apple Developer Program and paid $99 (Order D004772863, Invoice MC65387000). Account holder and Apple ID: me (Turan Mural, turanalemfilms [at] gmail.com, Kazakhstan). April 17, 2026 — Same day, received the identity verification request from developer [at] email.apple.com asking for passport and Kazakhstan national ID. Uploaded both immediately via the official upload link (developer.apple.com/contact/file-upload/). Passport: valid, current, matches my Apple ID name. April 17 – 20 — Complete silence.

I'm sure there are plenty of other developers in the same situation. Please reenable the option to open in New Window Tabs. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Enrollment Issue: Developer Program Membership Payment Not Reflected
Dear Apple Developer Support Team, I am writing to request assistance with my Apple Developer Program membership status. On Wednesday, April 15, I completed the payment of $99 for a one-year individual membership. However, five days have passed, and my account status has not yet been updated. When I log into the Apple Developer portal, it continues to prompt me to "Purchase Membership" rather than showing my account as active. Could you please review my account and manually update the enrollment status so I can begin using the developer services? If there is any additional information required from my side, please let me know. Thank you for your time and assistance. Best regards, Ibrahim Asery

Xcode 26.4.1: Another blow to productivity: the update resets all windows and tabs
FB22576466 Another update - another blow to developers' productivity from the Xcode team, and more time wasted. Xcode 26.4.1 reset all windows and tabs in all projects. All carefully set up window tabs in multiple projects, as well as the ones that were previously open, are gone. Developers now have to set them up manually again. Ok there's nothing that can be done in 26.4.1 already; the damage has already been done. But dear Xcode development team... just DON'T. DO. THIS. AGAIN. Please! Tanks.

It would be helpful to have a filter option to hide read posts when browsing or searching the Apple Developer Forums. FB22575662 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/793

Previews crash after making change to Swift Package version
Previews seemed to be working okay. However, I wanted to test out some changes inside of a package that I'm working on for work, but in a lighter project since in our main project (where I have the package pulled in locally for now) is just too big to have the previews render in a decent amount of time. So, I opened a small project that was already importing that package and was set to 'Up to Next Major', but I switched that to 'branch' and added my branch. This is the second time I've done that and it causes Xcode to freak out in terms of the previews. This is the code I have: import SwiftUI extension EnvironmentValues { @Entry var trailingDescriptionColorToken: Color = .secondary } extension View { func updateTrailingDescriptionColor(to colorToken: Color, when trigger: Bool) -> some View { environment(\.trailingDescriptionColorToken, trigger ? colorToken : .secondary) } } // MARK: - ListItemDescription public struct ListItemDescription: View { @Environment(\.trailingDescriptionColorToken) var trailingDescriptionColorToken let description: String init(_ description: String) { self.description = description } public var body: some View { Text(description) .font(.caption) .foregroundStyle(trailingDescriptionColorToken) } } struct ContentView: View { @State private var isError = false var body: some View { VStack { Button("Error Trigger") { isError.toggle() } ListItemDescription("Description") .updateTrailingDescriptionColor(to: .red, when: isError) } .padding() } } #Preview { ContentView() } As soon as I tap the button to toggle the isError state property, that causes the preview canvas to indefinitely load and spin eventually leading to a crash. This is infuriating as I've just wasted a ton of time at work trying to figure out what's going on. Xcode and SPM is so fragile and delicate that at this point I feel like if I breathe on it wrong it'll break. I'm not sure what fixed it last time. Nothing in Xcode makes sense anymore. How to I resolve this please?

Pending Apple Developer support cases for region/entity update
Hi devs and Apple support team, I’m waiting for updates on two Apple Developer Support cases: 102870790200 102870755282 Both are related to changing my Apple Developer / App Store Connect region and entity information from UAE to Kazakhstan. The requests were submitted last Thursday (5 days ago), and I still haven’t received any update. This is currently blocking my app release. Has anyone dealt with a similar issue, and is this waiting time normal for this type of request? Thank you very much.
