Overview

Hi, I’m currently migrating an Apple Developer account from Individual to Organization (US LLC). Apple says the enrollment is under review and they’re verifying authority to sign legal agreements. From your experience, what does Apple usually ask for at this stage — EIN, Articles, DBA, or do they usually just approve it?

I’m trying to understand how App Store Connect calculates payouts and currency conversion. For November, my report shows: Total Sales: $18.14 Proceeds: $12.45 However, the amount I actually received was 7.69 EUR. I’m confused about: How Apple goes from $12.45 proceeds to 7.69 EUR Which exchange rate is applied and on which date Whether additional fees, taxes, or adjustments are applied beyond Apple’s commission I’ve already tried contacting Apple by email, but I haven’t received any response yet. If anyone has experience with this or can explain how Apple calculates the final payout amount, I’d really appreciate your help.

Hello, I’m looking for guidance from an Apple Developer moderator or admin. I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program using my personal Apple ID and completed the enrollment process, including payment of the £79 membership fee (UK). The payment was successful. However, my membership status has remained “Pending” Since 6th Jan when it said it can take up to 48hrs, I’m still unable to access App Store Connect. I’ve already submitted a request through the Developer Program → Enrollment → Account & Membership contact form, but I haven’t yet received a response. Could someone please advise if this has happened to them / how long it can take? Thank you very much for your time and assistance.

I just tried to renew my APP, and it confirmed via email that it is renewed. But, also says that it needs to be reviewed. Seems like alot of people are having this issue. I have a pilot study on Monday which requires users to use the app, so I placed an expedited review request, and the system is saying I don't have an APP in the review stage. App is no longer on the App Store. Please advise!

Hello, i had in 2023 active apple developer license and i created alpha version of my app, when test was concluded i didnt renew my subscription because i started to create my company. Fast forwarding 2 years i have company now and company has now apple developer license, i wanted to create app identifier and i found out that its taken and then i realized i left that app id on my personal account. So because of that i cannot create app id on company account. I contacted apple developer support on tuesday and didnt get any answer back. I Thought i did wrong topic, so i made another on wednesday and still nothing, replied to the 2nd case and nothing. I was simply asking to either transfer the app id to company account or remove it, so i can create it again on company account. Can someone tell me what i can do next to resolve it? I dont want to pay $100 just to remove app identifier. Application on my personal profile was never in AppStore, it only reached TestFlight. Case IDs: 102795542798 , 102795563781

I. am working on an app that uses automounted files using nfsv4 where the server has zfs filesystems. As a test I've created a very simple example and the directory in question seems to automount correctly, but when I try to access it, I get strange behavior. The directory is mounted on is /System/Volumes/Data/mnt/subdir and I can change to that directory just fine. However I get the following: 63 rrsum@Anywhere:subdata% pwd /System/Volumes/Data/mnt/subdata 64 rrsum@Anywhere:subdata% ls -la total 3 drwxr-xr-x 3 nobody nobody 4 Jan 10 13:03 . dr-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 2 Jan 8 17:27 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 nobody nobody 3 Jan 9 11:20 dir -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 12 Jan 10 13:09 file.txt 65 rrsum@Anywhere:subdata% cd dir cd: string not in pwd: ls The directory appears in the 'ls -la' properly, but I cannot cd to it.

I have a question concerning Xcode version 26. Ever since I installed this version on my Mac, I have been experiencing issues with the StoreKit configuration file. The Simulated StoreKit Failures check boxes and selections are all grayed out. Once in a while, I see a pop-up stating "The document 'TaConfig.storekit' could not be autosaved. The file has been changed by another application. The pop-up Save as... points to where my config file is located, but the config file is grayed out. I thought maybe the directory where the file is located is write protected, but I have been able to save other files to the same directory. The Edit Scheme... -> Run -> Options has the StoreKit Configuration set for my file TaConfig.storekit. It feels like there is an option somewhere that I'm missing.

I set up a sandbox account to test in-app purchases in my development app. I went to settings > dev > sandbox accounts and updated my login in the app store. But I received a 'block'; I can no longer download new versions or anything from the store. I've already removed the sandbox account, and even using my real Apple ID, I can't use the functions.

When I have a TextField or TextEditor, tapping into it produces these two console entries about 18 times each: CHHapticPattern.mm:487 +[CHHapticPattern patternForKey:error:]: Failed to read pattern library data: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file “hapticpatternlibrary.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." UserInfo={NSFilePath=/Library/Audio/Tunings/Generic/Haptics/Library/hapticpatternlibrary.plist, NSURL=file:///Library/Audio/Tunings/Generic/Haptics/Library/hapticpatternlibrary.plist, NSUnderlyingError=0x600000ca1b30 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}} <_UIKBFeedbackGenerator: 0x600003505290>: Error creating CHHapticPattern: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 "The file “hapticpatternlibrary.plist” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file." UserInfo={NSFilePath=/Library/Audio/Tunings/Generic/Haptics/Library/hapticpatternlibrary.plist, NSURL=file:///Library/Audio/Tunings/Generic/Haptics/Library/hapticpatternlibrary.plist, NSUnderlyingError=0x600000ca1b30 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 "No such file or directory"}} My app does not use haptics. This doesn't appear to cause any issues, although entering text can feel a bit sluggish (even on device), but I am unable to determine relatedness. None-the-less, it definitely is a lot of log noise. Code to reproduce in simulator (xcode 26.2; ios 26 or 18, with iPhone 16 Pro or iPhone 17 Pro): import SwiftUI struct ContentView: View { @State private var textEntered: String = "" @State private var textEntered2: String = "" @State private var textEntered3: String = "" var body: some View { VStack { Spacer() TextField("Tap Here", text: $textEntered) TextField("Tap Here Too", text: $textEntered2) TextEditor(text: $textEntered3) .overlay(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 8).strokeBorder(.primary, lineWidth: 1)) .frame(height: 100) Spacer() } } } #Preview { ContentView() } Tapping back and forth in these fields generates the errors each time. Thanks, Steve

Hi everyone — looking for guidance from developers who’ve dealt with App Review + subscriptions. We’ve submitted our iOS app for review and have been rejected 3 times related to subscriptions / in-app purchase rules. Here’s our setup: We offer a Premium subscription that unlocks extra features in the app. We do NOT allow users to purchase/subscribe inside the iOS app. There is no IAP, no checkout, and no purchase flow in the app. Users can only subscribe outside the app (on our website). If a user already has a Premium account (subscribed on the website), they can log in on iOS and use all Premium features inside the app. To us, this appears similar to what apps like Spotify do: from the iOS app you can’t subscribe to Premium via IAP; they direct users to the website, and once subscribed externally, Premium works inside the app. We’ve shared this context with the review team, but we still haven’t gotten a clear explanation of what specifically is not allowed in our case. My questions to the community: Is this model acceptable under App Store guidelines (no in-app purchase, subscription only on the web, and premium features unlocked after login)? If it is acceptable, what is the recommended way to present this to App Review so the app gets approved? (e.g., specific wording, metadata notes, review notes, removing certain UI, etc.) If it’s not acceptable, what’s the correct approach Apple expects for a Premium subscription that unlocks digital features? Has anyone had a similar rejection and successfully resolved it — what changes or steps worked? Any advice on how to get this approved would be hugely appreciated. See below the example from Spotify app on IOS.

Since I moved to Xcode 26.1 and Xcode 26.2 then, my UI tests all fail only for iOS 26+, for both simulator and real device. Everything worked perfectly with Xcode 26.0, and the code base of the application under test and the test cases are the same. With Xcode 26.0, the tests pass for iOS 26+ and iOS < 26, for both simulator and real device. In addition, even the Accessibility Inspector tool fails to display the view hierarchy for iOS 26+ with Xcode 26.2. With Xcode 26.0, whatever are the devices and the OS versions, the tool was able to display the view hierarchy. Otherwise the tool is empty even if the device and app are selected. This failing tests issue occurs both on my local environment and on GitHub Actions runners, excluding the hypothesis I have troubles with my own side. The error message for failing tests explains the element cannot be found anymore. Given for example the test case: @MainActor func testMakeScreenshotsForDocumentation_Button() { let app = launchApp() goToComponentsSheet(app) waitForButtonToAppear(withWording: "app_components_button_label", app) tapButton(withWording: "app_components_button_label", app) tapButton(withWording: "Strong", app) takeScreenshot(named: "component_button_", ACDC.buttonX, ACDC.buttonY, ACDC.buttonWidth, ACDC.buttonHeight, app) } the goToComponentSheet(app) line shows the error: ActionsDocumentationScreenshots.testMakeScreenshotsForDocumentation_Button() In details the function: /// Opens the page of the components, i.e. tap on the 2nd of the tab bar @MainActor func goToComponentsSheet(_ app: XCUIApplication) { app.tabBars.buttons.element(boundBy: 1).tap() } with the following error on the app.tabBars line: .../AppTestCase.swift:157 testMakeScreenshotsForDocumentation_Button(): Failed to tap Button (Element at index 1): No matches found for Descendants matching type TabBar from input {(Application, pid: 1883)} I have the feeling with Xcode 26.2 (and Xcode 26.1) the view hierarchy is not accessible anymore for both XCUITest framework and Accessibility Inspector tool. Note I have on my side macOS Tahoe 26.1 (25B78) and my GitHub Actions runner are on macOS 26.0.1 (25A362). When I used Xcode 26.0 I was on macOS Tahoe 26.1 (25B78) . Any ideas? 🙂

This is unique situation, save your rhetoric calling me crazy unless you’re willing to look at the evidence I’ve collected over the last 2 years. My entire family is being stalked and harassed by a DOD Contractor named Galapagos Federal Systems. They are literally using our identities to and accounts they’ve created to run Amazon Marketplace Business Accounts as sellers. They have amended my tax returns and they have hijacked my domain, which is MauiEasyRiders.Com. It’s pretty easy to see that they’ve hikacked my domain as they are using more than 20 ports around the clock, and I had to walk away from my business of 15 years because of a DDoS attack that is literally impossible to escape. These people are the lowest of the low. They have 250 million dollars in DODcontracts and they are registered as a small section 8a Native Hawaiian owned business, regardless of the fact that the owner is not Hawaiian and not from Hawaii, and the business was formed in Delaware. Their headquarters is literally a house in a neighborhood with nothing but a big ass can in the driveway, no traffic, no offices, just spook government hacks. I’ve mailed a complaint to the DOD hotline, been to the FBI in person, filled out all the forms online for every possible agency, filed police reports, nobody will even glance at the data I’ve accumulated and meticulously detailed, both in pdf format and on paper. They’re using my mothers identity and the identities of my two adult sons. It’s ridiculous. I literally have 90 Ip addresses in my DNS Leak Test and my home WiFi is hosting 190 IP Addresses. They have a Cisco business account in my name with over two hundred ASA and Fire IO devices that are years out of date. I have their exploit data, names, email addresses, absolutely everything I could possibly need that anyone investigating fraud would ask for, yet these parasites continue to carry out their crimes as if the law doesn’t apply to them. The only thing I have not tried is going to my Representatives from Washington in person. Anyone have any ideas? I’m happy to share data if anyone is interested in seeing it, even if you’re not interested in helping I’m happy to share all the info I can on their fraud. Thanks in advance!

After I add all my billing details and card numbers and click proceed, it shows a page with Thankyou note but after i logout and re- login it shows me to complete my purchase and takes me to the same cycle of re-entering all details And also to it, even after 48hrs also there have been no followups or anything not knowing if apple ever received my requests

Hi everyone, I subscribed to the Apple Developer Program on Tuesday evening, November 4th, 2025. The payment has already been charged to my bank account, but my account still shows the status “Pending” with the message “Subscribe your membership”. It’s now been several days, and I haven’t received any confirmation email or any request for additional information. I already contacted Apple Support by email, but I’d like to know if other developers have experienced the same situation and how long it took before their account was activated. Thanks in advance for your help and feedback! — Martin

Hello developers and the support teeam, I have tried to enroll my apple developer account, but got charged twice. Firstly, I tried it with the developers iOS app and paid the fee with Apple Pay on my phone. I haven't received any approval/activation/confirmation email. After that I saw on my phone this message: enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available. Then I looked on the website for the enrollement and it said that I should pay again. So I did and now I got charged twice on my card and there is still the same message. Does anyone have the same experience? How do I get a refund? I have already created a ticket, but no answer yet...

I configured my app to show a Live Activity when an alarm rings using AlarmKit. However, if I dismiss the Live Activity by tapping somewhere other than the X button, and then long-press the Dynamic Island, a new Live Activity appears that is long but contains no information. Currently, the only way I can remove this empty Live Activity is to press the X button while the alarm is in the snooze state. Pressing the X button on the initial alarm does not remove it. Is there any way to prevent this behavior or properly handle / clean up this empty Live Activity?

Hi. I'm not sure this is relevant for developer forums. But I'm not sure where else to turn. I've been trying to open an Apple Ads account for nearly a month. Every time I try to submit the form, I get "Server encountered an error processing your request" followed by reason code: befe5482-e13e-4439-ae0d-badb3ca398a7_1767983516160.C67AC66. I can't contact Apple Ads, because every time I try to fill in the contact form I get "Please correct the errors below". But there are no errors to correct. I've tried every possible combination of phone number formatting, special characters, spaces and all the usual suspects. Nothing works. I have a UK developer account in good standing. No issues, 2 live apps. I have reached out to Developer Support. No reply. I reached out to regular consumer support. They suggested Developer Support. I've got an app I'm trying to market and a budget ready to spend. Any ideas anyone?

All uploaded screenshots for the apps are shown only in gray with a cloud icon, and nothing changes even after 24 hours. App Store Connect → Apps → … → iOS App → … → Previews and Screenshots

For testing permission response we can use the sandbox account However, when testing permission requests using the AskCenter API, none of the ask API works for me in xcode 26.2 rc and iOS 26.2 rc. For SignificantAppUpdateTopic, I got errors like "The user is in a region that does not support this type of ask" in the console log, but I've already set my billing address to Texas. For CommunicationTopic, the console shows several XPC-related errors, and I’m not sure which of them are relevant. Both of them show an alert view of "Can't ask, An unknown error occurred" Can someone help to guide us how to test the request flow? Thanks
