Hello.
My developer membership is expired. I cannot renew because the renewal option/button does not appears in any device. A banner tells me:
"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 Agreements, Tax and Banking section of App Store Connect."
However, there's no "Renew" to tap or click anywhere in the app nor in the web.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot.

Trying to submit a build to TF from Xcode 26 via Xcode Cloud (both for iOS and macOS). The operation fails with this message:
Missing app icon. Include a large app icon as a 1024 by 1024 pixel PNG for the 'Any Appearance' image well in the asset catalog of apps built for iOS or iPadOS. Without this icon, apps can't be submitted for review. For details, visit: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/xcode/configuring-your-app-icon. If you’ve added an icon made with Icon Composer, visit https://developer.apple.com/app-store-connect/release-notes/ for details about known issues.
I thought it's because Icon Composer icons may not be supported yet, but then that last sentence is confusing me. Does this mean that TF just won't support Xcode 26 uploads yet, or does it accept them and I need to provide legacy icons for my build?
Hi everyone!
Writing this from my personal Developer Account but this is related to my other account, enrolled under my startup organization account.
Sunday morning I've started finalizing a feature on my startup that I've worked on with my colleagues for over a year already. I've pushed the code as usual, wanted to do a internal TestFlight build and I was apparently logged out on Xcode from my account. Thought it's no big deal - went to log in in Xcode Settings -> Account but my attempt was unsuccessful - I was presented a message stating "Unknown error occurred".
Weird, but then I tried to use the browser to login into App Store Connect using the following account - I was met with the same message. Alright, I thought I might need to reset my password - clicked on Forgot Password and started the reset password flow.
To my surprise, I am presented a new message, stating - Your account has been locked and I need to verify my phone number to request access to this account. I proceed, enter my phone number associated with the account and click continue.
I am the presented with the message that my Account Access is Requested and I need to wait up to a day.
I then also decided to check Keychain and well, surprise surprise - all my certificates have also been revoked from keychain, both development and distribution.
Well, I wake up this morning to the following email:
And attempting to login/reset password now presents a message stating that my account is now LOCKED:
I've been an Apple Developer for more than 7 years. I've had multiple Developer accounts. This is the first time I'm seeing such things. Please, someone explain what is going on and how can I verify my identity with apple to access my account?
I cannot release a new version of our startup's app. We are suffering business losses due to failing to meet a deadline with a potential client. I cannot believe such things are happening.

What is the recommended approach for distributing an XCFramework that uses common third-party dependencies (like Google Maps) when client apps may also use the same dependencies, resulting in duplicate symbol conflicts?
I'm developing a closed-source SDK distributed as an XCFramework. My SDK internally uses Google Maps for mapping functionality. However, when clients integrate my XCFramework into their apps that also use Google Maps, we encounter duplicate symbol errors.
What I've Tried:
Static vs Dynamic Linking: Both approaches result in conflicts
Static linking: Google Maps symbols compiled into my binary
Dynamic linking: GoogleMaps.framework bundled with my XCFramework
Build Configuration:
Set "Build Libraries for Distribution" = YES
Tried various linking strategies
Architecture Changes:
Used @implementation_only import
Wrapped code with #if canImport(GoogleMaps)
However, the dependencies still get linked at build time
I'm building and running from Xcode 26 to macOS 15.5. On launch, app crashes on start dynamic runtime linking with failure to find _LocationEssentials framework.
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 everyone,
I'm a developer who has been facing a significant issue with my Apple Developer account and the app submission process. I hope to get some guidance or assistance from the community or Apple support.
Timeline of Events
Four months ago: I prepared an app and submitted it to TestFlight for review.
Initial rejection: The app was rejected due to technical issues such as screenshots, app description, and insufficient permission explanations for features like location, camera, and microphone.
Resubmission after fixes: I carefully addressed all the issues mentioned by the Apple review team and resubmitted the app.
Second rejection: This time, the app was rejected citing general policy violations related to copyright issues. The rejection was vague, and I couldn’t understand the exact problem.
Further attempts: To resolve the issue, I removed all video, photo, and media content from the app and resubmitted it. However, it was still rejected for the same reason. I went through this process about 7-8 times, each time getting rejected without clarity on the root cause.
Account deletion notice: Eventually, I received an email stating that my account was set to be deleted in 30 days. This was alarming because I had been diligently trying to comply with Apple’s policies for months.
Deleting the app: To prevent any harm to my account, I decided to delete the app from my account within the 30-day period, effectively abandoning the project.
Account still deleted: Despite deleting the app, my account was still deleted after 30 days.
Discovery of similar app name: Later, I noticed that there was another app on the App Store with a name very similar to mine. For example, my app was named "ABcdefgh," and the existing app was "AB.cdefgh," with the only difference being the "." I believe this name similarity might have been the cause of the copyright issue, but it was too late as my account had already been deleted.
Contact with Apple Turkey: I reached out to Apple Turkey, and they were very attentive, spending about 40 minutes trying to help me. However, they ultimately informed me that they couldn’t intervene and that the issue could only be resolved through Apple America.
Attempts to contact Apple America: I tried filling out forms multiple times to contact Apple, but since I had deleted the app, I couldn’t see the responses from the team.
Impact of the Issue
This situation has been very distressing as I’ve lost my developer account and the ability to publish apps. My users are constantly inquiring about the iOS versions of my apps, and I’m unable to provide them due to this issue.
Request for Assistance
I’m seeking advice on how to resolve this issue. Specifically:
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue with app name similarity leading to account deletion?
Are there any specific steps I can take to appeal the account deletion?
Is there a direct way to contact Apple America for developer account issues?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for taking the time to read my post. I appreciate any help or suggestions you can provide.
Best regards.

I recently switched to Mac OS 12 and XCode 13. I did some work on my application and rebuilt it. Now there is no Help Book. I didn't change the property lists and everything looks right. When I open the Help Book the application either opens a window with a message that the content is currently unavailable or it opens a Help Book window with no content. When this second thing happens the log window shows "entering AHRegistered help Book" but it doesn't appear. Does anyone have any suggestions?
I would like to know if macOS DEXT supports the following networking features: Tx/Rx Multiqueue, RSS, RSC, NS/ARP offload, PTP or packet timestamping and TSN.
I couldn't find relevant documentation for these features in the Apple Developer Documentation.
If they are supported, could you let me know which features are supported and how to find the corresponding official Apple documentation?
Thanks

I'm using Xcode Cloud to build for internal TestFlight testing.
But it stuck in Archive. No warning or error. Unable to complete the workflow.
What could be causing this? I have absolutely no idea what to do now.
I'm using xcode 16 with swift. I'm trying to call a function in another file. It used to work. Now I'm getting: Cannot find 'detailline' in scope. Detailline is the function I'm calling. I just added variables to the top. I have since deleted them. Please help.

Hello, do the String Catalogs (new in Xcode 15) support Swift Packages?
I've tried adding a new Localizable.xcstrings (string catalog) file to my package's resources folder.
Great! I then see this screen:
All good so far.
I then try to go and build my Swift Package... and nothing changes. The string catalog is never populated and I'm left with the same screen as above.
So, do string catalogs not support packages at this time or am I doing something wrong?
I was really hoping String Catalogs would work and save the day since Export Localizations also does not work for Swift packages that don't support macOS. 😔
Dear Apple,I'm an iOS developer and provided feedback in the good old online bug tracker for many years.Decent conversations with Apple egnineers often resulted in bug fixes or updated documentation.The fact that my contributions helped to improve the products was rewarding.So I kept adding reports in the new Feedback Assistant app in macOS Catalina.But ever since (September 2019) I never ever got any response on any ticket.1 month ago I even added a report if Apple even read my reports. Again, no response ever since.So my question on this forum: Is Apple actually reading reports in the new Feedback Assistant?This can either be answered by Apple, or by other Developers that hopefully did response feedback from Apple. Or did not.Best regards,Martijn
I paid for the developer account subscription on November 9, and as of now, the status is still pending.
I’ve already contacted the support center for help more than three days ago, but I haven’t received any reply or even an acknowledgment email.
How do they even operate? The delay is completely unreasonable.
Has anyone else experienced the same thing?

Hey Apple Team!
We recently updated to Xcode 16 and saw a massive memory spike, which caused "Out of memory" Mac warnings in the final stages of our app's build process.
We noticed that the process responsible for this is "EmbeddedBinaryValidationUtility" (see screenshot).
Is there a workaround to limit its memory usage? This is causing significant anguish for our developers.
Hi everyone,
After updating my Mac and Xcode to 26, I’m running into a consistent crash whenever I try to launch an app from Xcode.
Environment:
Mac: Apple Silicon M3
macOS: 26.0 (25A354)
Xcode: 26.0.1 (17A400)
Issue:
When I press Run on any project (including new, empty projects), Xcode immediately crashes.
This started only after updating to the latest macOS and Xcode.
Crash details:
The crash log shows:
Application Specific Signatures:
___localError
Thread 0 crashed inside -[IDEScheme _executionOperationForSchemeOperationParameters:...] from IDEFoundation/IDEKit.
I also noticed background threads calling DVTPortal (developer portal requests) right before the crash.
What I’ve tried so far:
Cleared DerivedData, ModuleCache.noindex, and Xcode caches.
Signed out/in of my Apple ID in Xcode.
Recreated project schemes.
Verified provisioning profiles.
Reinstalled Xcode 26.
Unfortunately, the crash still happens.
Question:
Is this a known issue with Xcode 26 on Apple Silicon (M3)?
Has anyone seen a workaround?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated — I can’t currently launch apps in Xcode at all.
Thanks!

Hi everyone, I think this is a simple issue.
I got the following error message"
"PreviewDevice is ignored in a #Preview macro. Use the device picker at the bottom of the Canvas to change which device type is used for the preview. (from macro 'Preview')"
after this line:
".previewDevice(PreviewDevice(rawValue: "iPhone 17 Pro"))"
But in my Canvas I do not see the device picker.
Thank you.

I have designed a new icon for my app/Tahoe in Icon Composer (launched from within Xcode)but I simply cannot get it to show up. The documentation for Icon Composer spends a lot of time describing how to design the icons but goes distressingly vague/silent on how one might use it. It suggests that I should drag the file to Xcode and it will guide me as to where to put it.
The app continues to use the old (pre-Tahoe) icon.
I don't get any change of behaviour and I don't know what to name the file. I assume that there are no other settings that I have to change. I can't find anything on the web or in Apple's documentation: maybe I'm missing something obvious!
My app is a working NSDocument-based Cocoa project.
Any suggestions please.
Tahoe 26.0.1, Xcode 26.0.1, Apple M1 Max MBP.
