Overview

Hello, I’m posting here to seek guidance or visibility regarding a delayed Apple Developer Program enrollment. I completed my organization enrollment over three weeks ago and provided a valid D-U-N-S number, which is correctly listed and verifiable. Since submitting the enrollment: The status has remained unchanged I’ve contacted Apple Developer Support three times via email I’ve received no response or timeline updates There is no option shown to request a phone call At this point, I’m unable to proceed with TestFlight, app distribution, or further development planning, and the lack of communication has made it difficult to understand next steps or expected timelines. If anyone from Apple Support or the community can advise: Whether this delay is expected If additional verification steps are required Or how best to escalate appropriately I’d really appreciate the guidance. Thank you for your time.

I'm developing a passkey manager using ASCredentialProviderViewController. I've set a custom AAGUID in the attestation object during registration: let aaguid = Data([ 0xec, 0x78, 0xfa, 0xe8, 0xb2, 0xe0, 0x56, 0x97, 0x8e, 0x94, 0x7c, 0x77, 0x28, 0xc3, 0x95, 0x00 ]) However, when I test on webauthn.io, the relying party receives: AAGUID: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 Provider Name: "iCloud Keychain" It appears that macOS overwrites the AAGUID to all zeros for third-party Credential Provider Extensions. This makes it impossible for relying parties to distinguish between different passkey providers, which is one of the key purposes of AAGUID in the WebAuthn specification. Is this expected behavior? Is there a way for third-party Credential Provider Extensions to use their own registered AAGUID? Environment: macOS 26.2 Xcode 26.2

Hello, I am writing here to seek guidance regarding an ongoing issue with Apple Developer Support, as I have not received any response through any official support channel. Since 25 January, I have: Raised multiple support tickets and emails via App Store Connect Tried to contact Apple Developer Support by call (the call option is visible in my account) Scheduled/requested calls where applicable However: No email responses have been received No calls are coming through, even after requesting/scheduling There has been no acknowledgement or update on my issue Due to this, my issue remains completely unresolved, and I currently have no way to follow up or escalate. I would like clarification on the following: Why there has been no response since 25 January, despite multiple attempts Why the call option is visible but no call is received What is the correct escalation process when both email and call support are unresponsive Whether there is an expected response timeline for such cases My intention is not to raise a complaint, but to understand how I can properly communicate with Apple Developer Support and receive guidance on my issue. If any Apple representative or developer who has experienced a similar situation can provide direction, it would be highly appreciated. Thank you for your time and support.

I have an iOS app that generates and renders a custom HTML document inside a UIWebView. After updating a device to iOS 26, the same HTML is rendered with noticeably smaller fonts compared to previous iOS versions. No code or HTML changes were made. Context HTML is generated dynamically and rendered in a UIWebView The HTML is embedded inside a custom XML wrapper The issue happens only on iOS 26 Earlier iOS versions render the font size correctly

Hi. I'm a 3D designer, using Blender for most of my work. The most recent Blender conference discussed utilizing the Open Shading Language (OSL) in their latest versions, which allows designers to write custom shaders for their workflows. At the moment, only Nvidia Optix GPU's can utilize this language for rendering (from what I understand), but Blender developers stated they are waiting on other GPU manufacturers to implement this feature as well. I'm not sure if there are any licensing issues here, but would this be something Apple could implement in Metal to make their hardware more attractive to the 3D design community? Any help or knowledge on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

I have the Family Controls & Personal Device Usage entitlement approved for my main app target, but I'm unable to get it applied to my app extensions (DeviceActivityMonitor and ShieldConfiguration). The entitlement request form at developer.apple.com/contact shows "Thank you for your submission" when I submit requests for the extensions, but the requests never actually register. No follow-up email, no change in my account. Without the entitlement on these extensions, I can't use the core Screen Time API functionality (monitoring device activity and displaying shield UIs when apps are blocked). The main app target has the entitlement, but the extensions need it independently to function. Has anyone run into this? Is there a way to get the entitlement extended to app extensions, or is there a step I'm missing in the provisioning process?

Hello everyone Hoping for some insights with an issue we're having with our app store review process. Note that this is not a new app, and we've had many successful reviews in the past. We submitted the app for review just over a week ago. We received a timely review about 24 hours later, citing an issue with Apple Pay. We make use of PassKit, but the reviewer could not find where we use Apple Pay in our app. I replied within a few hours with screenshots and videos, as it is quite easy to find where we use Apple Pay. Since then, we haven't received any feedback at all. I tried resubmitting a new build after 4 day,s and that is also sitting unreviewed for a while now. We've got features and bug fixes that were supposed to go out in this release, but we are now blocked on them. Is there anything we can do?

We received many great questions from the community during Code-along: Experiment with coding intelligence in Xcode 26. Here are the highlights from the questions submitted by the audience during the event. What models does coding intelligence features support In Xcode? Xcode integrates directly with ChatGPT and Claude user accounts. You can also configure Xcode to integrate any model provider that supports the Chat Completions API, such as models that you access with an API key. You can also download and run a local model on a Mac with Apple silicon. Setting up coding intelligence provides all of the information you need to get started with Xcode’s direct integration with ChatGPT and Claude, as well as how to set up Xcode to access other providers. Does Coding Intelligence have access to Apple API and developer documentation? How does it stay up to date with the latest SwiftUI API? Coding agents are great because they talk to a model, generate code and fix errors, but they also have access to tools, which make a significant difference in their capabilities. Xcode provides tools for the agent to use, including the ability to search Apple’s documentation and, code snippets. As an example, you can ask for a new API that was released in iOS, and if the model doesn't have this knowledge, the agent will call the tool to search for the documentation and bring that context into the conversation. As an organization, we do not have permission to share our codebase with any AI model due to security reasons. If we enable coding intelligence and give it access to our codebase, will the code be shared with Apple? Will OpenAI or Anthropic have access to my entire project? Privacy is fundamental to our design. When you connect an AI subscription account (like an account with OpenAI or Anthropic), the connection is only between you and that service. Apple does not act as an intermediary, and never sees the code sent to these services. Because this interaction happens directly between the you and your provider, the security and privacy of your code is determined entirely by your existing agreement with your provider. What exactly does the agent have access to? Only the files in the scope of the project? By default, the agent works in the directory of your project, and can access all files in that directory. This includes code file, assets, and your Xcode project configuration file. Does coding intelligence remember previous conversations? Each time you start a new conversation window, it resets the context of the conversation, but you can always go back to a previous conversation you had and continue and iterate on a previous idea. If a result contains errors or did not go in a direction you are happy with, you can use the history to go back to any point in time. Writing code with intelligence in Xcode goes into detail on how you can use these features. For command-line tools (Claude Code, OpenAI Codex), I can create guidelines as Markdown with rules or project descriptions. Does Xcode Agentic Coding take these into account, or should I define them differently? You can add skills that you’ve created, hints about Xcode and your project to configuration files, and other files supporting your use of coding intelligence such as AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md files, to the respective Codex and Claude Agent directories that Xcode uses exclusively: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/codex ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/ClaudeAgentConfig For more information on configuring agentic coding tools that run inside Xcode, see Customize the Codex and Claude Agent environments. How do you add a Model Context Protocol server for the Xcode agent to be able to access? You can add additional Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers in Xcode with product-specific configuration files so the agents can use those MCP servers from within Xcode. Locate the files needed to configure those additional MCP servers in the same directory where you set other customizations for Codex or Claude Agent, listed above.

I am working on an internal app for our company that links ABM, Intune, and an AT&T-provided CSV of IMEIs, and I am fairly new to this and using AI (sorry) to help me. I can search for our devices using either the serial # and/or IMEI. If the device has been released, I can still find it using the SN, but not with the IMEI. If a result is returned on a released device's SN, the IMEI is present. I have a list of IMEIs from our AT&T account and want to cross-reference those IMEIs to get the SN. Is there a way to include the Released Devices in the search?

I first started using the SwiftUI pushWindow API in visionOS 26.2, and I've reported several bugs I discovered, listed below. Under certain circumstances, pushed window relationships may break, and this behavior affects all other apps, not just the app that caused the problem, until the next device reboot. In other cases, the system may crash and restart. (FB21287011) When a window presented with pushWindow is dismissed, its parent window reappears in the wrong location (FB21294645) Pinning a pushed window to a wall breaks pushWindow for all other apps on the system (FB21594646) pushWindow interacts poorly with the window bar close app option (FB21652261) If a window locked to a wall calls pushWindow, the original window becomes unlocked (FB21652271) If a window locked in place calls pushWindow and the pushed window is closed, the system freezes (FB21828413) pushWindow, UIApplication.open, and a dismissed immersive space result in multiple failures that require a device reboot (FB21840747) visionOS randomly foregrounds a backgrounded immersive space app with a pushed window's parent window visible instead of the pushed window (FB21864652) When a running app is selected in the visionOS home view, windows presented with pushWindow spontaneously close (FB21873482) Pushed windows use the fixed scaling behavior instead of the dynamic scaling behavior I'm posting the issues here in case this information is helpful to other developers. I'd also like to hear about other pushWindow issues developers have encountered, so I can watch out for them. Questions: I've discovered that some of the issues above can be partially worked around by applying the defaultLaunchBehavior and restorationBehavior scene modifiers to suppress window restoration and locking, which pushWindow appears to interact poorly with. Are there other recommended workarounds? I've observed that the Photos and Settings apps, which predate the pushWindow API, are not affected by the issues I reported. Are there other more reliable ways I could achieve the same behavior as pushWindow without relying on that API? I'd appreciate any guidance Apple engineers could provide. Thank you.

It has been days I made the payment I have heard nothing from Apple, our deadline is being pushed over and over again we are loosing customers to our competitors. I have already reached out via the formal support channel but have not received a response beyond the automated acknowledgment.

I am developing a standard UAC 2.0 device and encountered an issue where the channel names do not update according to the iChannelNames field in the Class Specific AS Interface Descriptor when switching between different channel counts. For example: AS1 (6 channels) is configured with the following channel names: ADAT 1, ADAT 2, ADAT 3, ADAT 4, HP L, HP R AS2 (4 channels) is configured with: ADAT 1, ADAT 2, HP L, HP R However, when switching from AS1 (6 channels) to AS2 (4 channels), the channel names displayed in Audio MIDI Setup do not reflect the change as expected. The actual result is: ADAT 1, ADAT 2, ADAT 3, ADAT 4 The system simply hides the last two channels; the names of the remaining channels are not updated. Initial Topology My original topology was as follows: Later, I discovered that macOS uses the iChannelNames field from the Input Terminal to display channel names. Therefore, I modified the USB device descriptors and updated the topology to the following: To distinguish the channel names for different channel counts, each Input Terminal is assigned a unique iChannelNames value. This method worked perfectly on macOS 15. However, after updating to macOS 26, this topology no longer displays the correct channel names. Question On macOS 26, what is the correct method to ensure that the channel names update dynamically when switching between different audio channel configurations?

I’m seeing a camera/capture routing issue on visionOS when multiple WindowGroups are open at the same time. I have a SwiftUI view that starts an AVCaptureSession on onAppear and stops it on onDisappear. The camera feed is displayed in a subview that only exists inside one window. However, when I open additional windows (other WindowGroups) in the same app, the camera perspective/route changes unexpectedly — it looks like the capture is being re-associated with a different scene/window, even though the camera view never moved and no other view starts capture. Expected behavior Opening additional windows should not affect the active capture session or camera routing for the existing camera view. The camera feed should remain stable and tied to the window hosting. Actual behavior When multiple windows are open, the camera feed “switches perspective” / appears to re-route, as if the system changes which scene is considered active for capture. This happens without any explicit code calling startSession() again and without the camera view being present in the other windows. Additional context This app is running in an unbounded scene and uses Unity PolySpatial.

My apps been live on the app store for over a day now and my subscriptions have been stuck on waiting for review, ive sent an email and even been on live imsg support but they cant help either and i have had nothing back via email. has anyone got any suggestions

Summary: We are facing a serious issue on iPhone where multiple passkey authentication problems occur when accessing passkey-enabled login pages via shortcuts placed on the iPhone Home Screen. These issues may also occur when opening the same pages directly in a standard browser window. However, launching the login pages from a Home Screen shortcut appears to increase the likelihood of encountering these issues. Affected Services (examples, not exhaustive): Amazon GitHub Adobe Observed Issues: Issue 1: A passkey authentication dialog/popup shows two times without any user operation: What happens due to this issue: Login does not complete after the first passkey authentication. A second passkey authentication UI automatically appears. Completing or canceling the second authentication allows the login to proceed. Issue 2: Login remains stuck until the user manually invokes passkey again What happens due to this issue: The login page does not advance after the first authentication. The user must tap the ID/username field again to manually trigger the passkey UI. Completing the second authentication enables login. Issue 3: Automatic second authentication occurs, but login still fails What happens due to this issue: A second automatic authentication UI appears. Login still does not complete. Tapping the ID field no longer opens the passkey UI; instead, the password auto-fill panel appears. Passkey login becomes impossible. Observed reproduction steps (not guaranteed but most consistently observed): On iPhone, navigate to a passkey-enabled login page (e.g., Amazon, GitHub, Adobe) using a browser. Create a shortcut from the browser's share menu and place it on the Home Screen. Launch the login page from the Home Screen shortcut. Tap the ID/username field to invoke the passkey prompt. Complete passkey authentication. → One of the issues described above occurs. Environment: Device: iPhone SE OS: iOS 18.6.2

I get this message in my account: Developer Information Update In Process Note: Your developer information update is currently in process. Until it’s complete, the updated Program License Agreement may not go into effect. Why and what is going on is not clear, nothing has changed really. All accountdetails are applied and approved. Any idea what is going on and how to speed this "process" up?

I'm working on adding Spatial Audio support to a game on the Mac. I'm looking at the SpatialAudioRenderer sample but having some issues. It's unclear to me when a device is compatible with Spatial Audio and when I should attempt to render Spatial Audio. There is no property that I can find on the Mac that advertises Spatial Audio compatibility on a device. The sample crashes when the output device is a USB device. This includes the Apple Studio Display. The Apple Studio Display is supposed to be capable of rendering Spatial Audio. The device doesn't work with the sample - do I still need to render down the 7.1.4 source on this device? The sample always renders down to Stereo, but the Apple Studio Display is not a Stereo device. I'm a bit confused by the sample and when/how I should configure the mixing unit.

Thread title: App Store Small Business Program review delay after confirmation email - retroactive or approval-based? Post message: I applied to the App Store Small Business Program and received the confirmation email with the subject “We’ve received your request to join the App Store Small Business Program”. It has now been over two weeks with no further updates. I understand there may be a high volume of requests, but the lack of transparency or timeline is problematic, as every additional day directly affects my costs. I contacted Apple Developer Support to confirm that my application was received, but the reply didn’t clarify the actual review status or expected timeframe. I would like to ask others who recently went through this process: Are you experiencing similar delays in the review process? How long did the approval take in your case? Is the Small Business Program commission applied retroactively from the application submission date, or only from the approval date? If it’s retroactive, the delay is less critical. If it’s applied only after approval, the urgency is obvious. Is there any official way to escalate or get clarity in cases where the review is stalled? From your experience, is it acceptable or normal for developers to be left without feedback on a financially sensitive matter like this? I’m trying to determine whether this situation is normal or something that requires further action.

I am observing inconsistent pointer hover behavior for a SwiftUI Menu placed inside a ToolbarItem on iPadOS 26.2 (real device). Scenario: • Screen A is pushed inside a NavigationStack. • Screen B is presented as a sheet (with its own NavigationStack). • Both screens contain the same toolbar Menu item using an SF Symbol (arrow.up.arrow.down). Observed behavior: In the pushed view, hover is mostly stable. In the sheet-presented view, the SF Symbol visibly shifts/jumps when pointer hover activates. The hover highlight shape differs from the native navigation back button. Label-level hoverEffect modifiers do not stabilize the behavior. Minimal example: import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var showSheet = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { VStack { Button("Open Sheet") { showSheet = true } } .navigationTitle("Home") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button("Option A") { } Button("Option B") { } } label: { Image(systemName: "arrow.up.arrow.down") } } } .sheet(isPresented: $showSheet) { SheetView() } } } } struct SheetView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Text("Sheet View") .navigationTitle("Sheet") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button("Option A") { } Button("Option B") { } } label: { Image(systemName: "arrow.up.arrow.down") } } } } } } This behavior is reproducible 100% on device. Is this expected behavior for Menu inside ToolbarItem when presented as a sheet, or a regression in pointer interaction rendering?

Hi, I enrolled and paid on February 4, and I also opened a support case (ID: 20000106619808), but I haven’t received any response yet. My account still shows as “pending,” and I’m not sure what to do next. Can someone from the Apple team please help or let me know how to get in touch with the right support channel?
