Overview

Hi, we've developed an app for Vision Pro that utilises the GroupActivitites SDK to provide shared experiences for our users. Remote Participation works great, but we can't get nearby sharing to work. The behaviour we're observing: User 1 engages share sheet from Volume, 2nd Vision Pro is visible. User 1 starts nearby sharing Session initialisation runs for approx. 30 seconds, then fails Sometimes, the nearby participant doesn't show up at all after the initialisation has failed once. As stated in the Configure your visionOS app for sharing with people nearby article, we didn't make any changes to our implementation to support nearby sharing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, David

I a using the current RC version of iOS on both my iPhone and iPad. I and developing an iCloud based app and it works correctly on iOS 18. When I upgraded to iOS 26 the iCloud functions work correctly but the push notifications do not work. The issue appears to be creating subscriptions. The following code should create a subscription and does not get an error, but it did to create a subscription under iOS 26. func subscribeToNotifications(recordType: String, subscriptionID: String, notification: CKSubscription.NotificationInfo) { let subscriptionIDForType = "\(subscriptionID)-\(recordType)" let predicate = NSPredicate(value: true) let subscription = CKQuerySubscription(recordType: recordType, predicate: predicate, subscriptionID: subscriptionIDForType, options: [.firesOnRecordCreation, .firesOnRecordUpdate, .firesOnRecordDeletion]) let notification = CKSubscription.NotificationInfo() subscription.notificationInfo = notification CKContainer.default().publicCloudDatabase.save(subscription) { (returnedSubscription, error) in if let error = error { print("Error saving subscription: \(error)") } else { print("Successfully saved subscription: recordType: " + recordType + " subscriptionID: " + subscriptionIDForType) } } } Print results: Successfully saved subscription: recordType: folder subscriptionID: folderName-folder

Hi All, I have recently upgraded my Silicon Mac Laptop from MacOS 15.3 (Sequoia) to MacOS 26 (Tahoe). Since existing Xcode 16.2 is not compatible with MacOS 26, i installed Xcode 26.0.1 but after the successful installaton the application is not working and quits after the erorr dialog "Loading a Plugin Failed." (Screenshot attached). I tried resatring/reinstalling the Xcode 26.0.1 but no luck. To narrow down the issue i installed the same Xcode 26.0.1 in another Silicon Mac laptop with MacOS 26(Tahoe) where no previous Xcode was installed and it went well and working as expected. With my assumption Xcode 26.0.1 breaks when the device is upgraded from sequoia to Tahoe due to some conflicting old Xcode settings/files which may not be compatible with Xcode 26 or Tahoe but i am not sure. I followed some old articles as below from the forum and nothing worked for me so far. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/660860 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/719810 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/759396 Can some one shed a light on this to resolve this issue? Thanks.

Apple review says , my app displayed an error when we attempted to purchase subscriptions. Please review the details and resources below and complete the next steps. Device type: iPad Air (5th generation) OS version: iPadOS 26.0.1 Next Steps When validating receipts on your server, your server needs to be able to handle a production-signed app getting its receipts from Apple’s test environment. The recommended approach is for your production server to always validate receipts against the production App Store first. If validation fails with the error code "Sandbox receipt used in production," you should validate against the test environment instead. Question: Is it due to Device being used by reviewer or is it really from my code. As my code relies on Apple infrastructure for purchases and all things. Initially i did had subscription reporting api for receipt handling and all.When i went through with ChatGPT it did say that issue is due to half baked subscription module on my server. So i decided not to send any Subscription related things to backend, now it's Apple only and on App side. Is it correct fix ? Or do i need to fix backend even though i have no use for it ? My team did test in sandbox env via internal testing that time we had no issues. And all was tested using Mobile devices, that's why i still have question just to be sure these errors are due to devices or not? Screenshot shared by Apple team did show they got a error popup saying Something went wrong : Unable to complete request. I am trying to reproduce in development but can't. Anyone had got same issue before and has information on how to resolve and test for it will be helpful. Thanks Shikhar Sahu

I enroll Apple Developer Program as an individual developer, but the system show me this error. Anyone same? What should I do?

Hi, when a CoreMIDI driver controls physical HW it is probably quite commune to have to control the amount of MIDI data received from the system. What comes to mind is to just delay returning control of the MIDIDriverInterface::Send() callback to the calling process. While the application trying to send MIDI really stalls until the callback returns it seems only to be a side effect of a generally stalled CoreMIDI server. Between the callbacks the application can send as much MIDI data as it wants to CoreMIDI, it's buffering seems to be endless... However the HW might not be able to play out all the data. It seems there is no way to indicate an overflow/full buffer situation back the application/CoreMIDI. How is this supposed to work? Thanks, any hints or pointers are highly appreciated! Hagen.

My external device can generate a fixed Wi-Fi network. When I connect to this Wi-Fi using my iPhone 17 Pro Max (iOS version 26.0.1), and my app tries to establish a connection using the following method, this method returns -1 int connect(int, const struct sockaddr *, socklen_t) __DARWIN_ALIAS_C(connect); However, when I use other phones, such as iPhone 12, iPhone 8, iPhone 11, etc., to connect to this external device, the above method always returns successfully, with the parameters passed to the method remaining the same. I also tried resetting the network settings on the iPhone 17 Pro Max (iOS version 26.0.1), but it still cannot establish a connection.

My public testflight link with an iOS version limit to only 17 and older still gets installations on iOS 26 and 18. Setting appears to be correct (screenshot). I have disabled it now.

hey everyone, recently we noticed an issue on AppStoreConnect here is brief , understandable, short description. when we upgraded our app from 2.1.8 to 2.4.9 we noticed something is not adding up, then we find out that the number of devices have been increased in AppStoreConnect - iPad/ Apple watch have been added. we checked the source code - the supported devices were just iPhone (which is what we want) -pls check XCODE.png we doubt something is not correct. in AppStoreConnect we checked previous release which was 2.1.8 - it was showing correct device just iPhone. pls check AppStoreConnect-previous.png in the most recent submission which was ready to submit 2.4.9 - the number of devices have been increased to 3. pls check AppStoreConnect-latest.png here is the screenshot: screenshot from XCODE.png screenshot from AppStoreConnect-latest.png (we believe its wrong) screenshot from AppStoreConnect-previous.png (correct one) it turns out that App Review team came with idea that our app is not correctly working on iPad (obviously appreciate their effort they found 2 more issues on the app besides with that) , but our App is not intended to work on iPad.

Hi, I have an Unity game. I need to have multiple App Icons for my game for it to be able to be recognized in different countries. In other words, is it possible to have an iOS app in which the App Icon changes based on device locale/language? On Android this is possible using Unity Localization package "com.unity.localization"

I am building a 360 photo viewer in VisionOS 26. Which allows the user to choose a 2 by 1 jpg and then renders it with a sphere mesh entity. And I use: TextureResource(contentsOf: url, options: options). I noticed two situations here in terms of mipmaps options. When setting "mipmapsMode: .none": The graphic quality within the "gaze area" looks sharp and clear The two poles (top and bottom) are perfectly rendered Massive shimmer around the "gaze area" When setting "mipmapsMode: .allocateAndGenerateAll": The graphic looks slightly blurrier than in ".none" within the "gaze area" The two poles are very blurry and hard to recognize the texture Much less shimmer around the "gaze area" My question would be: Is there a way to have the perfect graphic quality in ".none" without the massive shimmer? Thank you! Screenshots: mipmapsMode: .none mipmapsMode: .allocateAndGenerateAll

There are some campaigns who have data in the UI (3000+ impressions), but when I try to fetch keywords report via API (/api/v5/reports/campaigns/{campaign-id}/keywords) by CountryOrRegion, it returns no data, but when fetched without CountryOrRegion, it has data. It is a single country campaign, however, I have other single country campaigns that do share data with CountryOrRegion.

I have to admit, I resisted Apple until about one year ago! I was die hard android. The main reason for the switch was the T-Mobile mobile SMS relay the deposit of the message and the timing of some SMS messages were very suspect. The relay number would keep automatically coming back. I searched been verified and never have I seen more than 10 comments about a person or a number, this was over 100!! now let me get to my point. I was hoping someone could give me a redemption code for the Copilot so I can look into my OneDrive and see how it increases security with Apple OS. I was told on some occasions that the “wheel“ user was necessary for Apple to function however it is a unix system that needs the wheel function. I don’t think Apple iOS needs the “wheel” user so I was wanting to download that Copilot for better results. thank you for any help I receive.

In my app I want to integrate a personilized Lock Screen. Does anybody know how that works?

We’ve recently changed the name of our published app from “Gourmet Society Lloyds” to “Gourmet Society”. The current App Store link is: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/gourmet-society-lloyds/id6447692472 After the name change, we expect the URL to look like this: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/gourmet-society/id6447692472 However, we’re not sure whether Apple automatically updates the App Store URL (the text part before the ID) when the app name changes, and whether the old URL will continue to redirect to the new one. I couldn’t find any official Apple documentation confirming this behavior. Could someone from Apple clarify how App Store URLs are handled in such cases? Thanks in advance! Zoltan

The buttons in the navigation bar are not available in the element tree after iOS 26 upgrade of the test phones. The same IPA version, the same XCode version, but different trees on different phones.

Hey all, how long does bank account validation take typically? I have everything else in my paid agreement approved and showing active except the bank account. It says 24 hours but it has been over 3 days and there has been no progress.

Hi, I’m an iOS developer building an app with an use case that needs advanced playback on Apple Music subscription streams, specifically: • Real-time tempo change (BPM) during playback — i.e., time-stretch with key-lock, not just crossfade. • Beat-matched transitions between tracks. From what I can tell, this capability seems to exist only for approved partners and isn’t available through public MusicKit. Question: What’s the official request path to be evaluated for that restricted partner entitlement (application form, questionnaire, NDA, or internal team/BD contact)? If the entitlement identifier is internal, how can I get my account routed to the right Apple Music team? For reference, publicly announced partners include Algoriddim djay, Serato DJ Pro, rekordbox (AlphaTheta), and Engine DJ—all of which appear to implement mixing features that imply advanced playback (tempo/beat-matching) on Apple Music content. I’d prefer not to share product details publicly for the moment and can provide specifics privately if needed. Thanks in advance!
