Overview

Hello, While setting up Xcode Cloud using Bitbucket, I encountered an issue with Source Control and providing access to the repository. The problem most likely stems from the fact that Bitbucket has updated its policy, and the use of app passwords is no longer available (at least for new ones). However, in Xcode → Settings → Source Control, the login flow still requires an app password, which makes it impossible to authenticate using the new API tokens. Attempting to authenticate via SSH also does not resolve the issue. After connecting to GitHub, I also tried to connect through the web version, but I'm getting the same message: "Bitbucket Cloud installation was incomplete." I received this same message when I first tried to connect through Xcode. This problem does not occur when connecting to GitHub. I would appreciate receiving feedback from the Apple team on this issue. System Info: Xcode: 16.2 (latest from App Store) macOS: Sequoia 15.1

Hello everyone The application we developed is for pet medical care and is aimed at veterinarians The main function of the app is an AI conversation app, where the user talks to the AI. The AI answer content may involve disease diagnosis and treatment suggestions for pets. When we submitted it to the apple store for review, we received a 1.4.1 rejection notice (the app must clearly disclose data and methods to support accuracy claims related to health measurements) Our solutions Before entering the app, we have added a pop-up window (the pop-up window introduces that the output content of our app is generated by AI and cannot replace the malicious veterinary consultation and diagnosis. If you have health problems, please consult offline certified veterinarians and other content to ensure the safety of pets in a timely manner). Users must agree before proceeding to the next step of using the app. Our AI model has been registered with the algorithm (and we have also uploaded screenshots of the algorithm registration) Each AI reply message in our app has displayed content (this answer is generated by AI, the content is for reference only, please check carefully) to remind users that these answers are generated by AI and allow users to check carefully. Even though we made all the above obvious reminders, we still received rejection from the app review our problem For a large language model, the content is implemented by a deep learning algorithm. It is impossible to accurately know the source and link of the generated content every time the AI replies to the content. If this review logic is followed, then the reply content of AI apps with language models such as chatgpt will also include medical-related diagnostic suggestions. How to solve this scenario? Our model is a diagnostic recommendation for pets. Does clause 1.4.1 refer to humans or animals?

I have invested significant money building a proximity application that shows hotspots for nightlife, and also if there are other single people in the same vicinity. I have labeled it under Social Networking, but the app reviews have labeled me as a dating app and hit me with the 4.3 spam tag. My app has many unique features that don't exist with other apps, but because of the matching part of the app, I am SOL. I am waiting on an appeal, but based on what I have read, I will most likely be doomed. Talk about killing the American Dream and stifling innovation! What are my options? If I get 10K users testing it on Test Flight, will I have a better chance of getting approved? Has anyone been successful by offering an app through a developer's website?

An error occurred preventing Xcode from downloading version information from App Store Connect for account "xxxxxxxx". An unexpected error occurred: [<__NSDictionaryM 0x600003ed4fe0> valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the <app name! 5.00.12 (iOS App). I have no idea what the hell is causing this. I have checked all of the links between screens and objects and none are missing. This is a live active version on the store.

Hi, I'm using a UICollectionViewCell in my project and I can't wrap my head around why cell's UI state isn't changing when selected. This is my code: override func updateConfiguration(using state: UICellConfigurationState) { super.updateConfiguration(using: state) var background = UIBackgroundConfiguration.listGroupedCell().updated(for: state) background.cornerRadius = 25 // Update background based on selection state if state.isSelected { background.backgroundColor = .systemBlue.withAlphaComponent(0.3) background.strokeColor = UIColor.systemBlue background.strokeWidth = 1.5 } else { background.backgroundColor = isHoveredOver ? .hoverHighlightBackground : .background background.strokeColor = UIColor.borderColor background.strokeWidth = 1 } backgroundConfiguration = background } The if block does get executed but it's not working for some reason. On the other hand, the else block works just fine, my cell's background is being highlighted when hovered over, the stroke is showing etc. What am I missing here? Thank you.

My app is live but the leaderboards still aren’t updating. App was built with unreal engine 5 with blueprints. I have the leaderboard stat info entered into the node for write integer to leaderboard and a node for show platform specific leaderboard. The leaderboards are shown as live on app connect. When I run the app, the Game Center login functions and the leaderboard interface launches as expected but it just lists a group of friends to invite. There are no scores listed and it says number of players 0 even though I have scored on two different devices and accounts. I have the Game Center entitlement added in Xcode. Not sure where else to look.

Hello, If I want to modify records in my public database, this works fine. However, if I change from public to private in the requesturl, I get the response: "500 - Internal Error". According to the CK WebService Reference, it is possible to access the private database. Could someone explain to me if it is really an internal error and if it could be fixed by Apple, since I would like to access my own private database with the server-to-server key. Thanks in advance.

Is foundation models matured enough to take input from the Apple Vision framework to generate responses? Something similar to what google's gemini does although in a much smaller scale and for a very specific niche.

Returning to a Mac Catalyst app that I put to the side for awhile..when running it on Xcode 26.1 it crashes at launch with: Assertion failure in -[NSToolbarItemGroupView _layoutWrapperViewsWithAttributes:], NSToolbarItemGroupView.m:599 No attributes were found for item Call stack has a bunch of Autolayout code in AppKit like: [NSWindow(NSConstraintBasedLayoutInternal) _layoutViewTree] + 120 50 AppKit 0x00000001911e8a10 -[NSWindow(NSConstraintBasedLayoutInternal) layoutIfNeeded] + 240 51 UIKitMacHelper 0x00000001a98f293c -[UINSWindow layoutIfNeeded] + 56 A few unnamed symbols mixed in maybe that's that Swiftness beneath the surface. App is just murdered on launch. I assume this is related to using NSToolbarItemGroup when building an NSToolbar... I do see this log out: NSToolbarItemGroup does not support selectionMode. Create the group with one of the class constructors to support selection. Which is an interesting log so I commented out all calls to setSelectionMode: but still the same crash. I do set the groups subitems property directly (I do not use the class constructors as the logging statement above indicates). I have no idea if using the class constructors will workaround this issue or not but I'm not particularly excited about that idea because I have items in the same toolbar group with different actions.

I’m building a macOS video editor that uses AVComposition and AVVideoComposition. Initially, my renderer creates a composition with some default video/audio tracks: @Published var composition: AVComposition? @Published var videoComposition: AVVideoComposition? @Published var playerItem: AVPlayerItem? Then I call a buildComposition() function that inserts all the default video segments. Later in the editing workflow, the user may choose to add their own custom video clip. For this I have a function like: private func handlePickedVideo(_ url: URL) { guard url.startAccessingSecurityScopedResource() else { print("Failed to access security-scoped resource") return } let asset = AVURLAsset(url: url) let videoTracks = asset.tracks(withMediaType: .video) guard let firstVideoTrack = videoTracks.first else { print("No video track found") url.stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource() return } renderer.insertUserVideoTrack(from: asset, track: firstVideoTrack) url.stopAccessingSecurityScopedResource() } What I want to achieve is the same behavior professional video editors provide, after the composition has already been initialized and built, the user should be able to add a new video track and the composition should update live, meaning the preview player should immediately reflect the changes without rebuilding everything from scratch manually. How can I structure my AVComposition / AVMutableComposition and my rendering pipeline so that adding a new clip later updates the existing composition in real time (similar to Final Cut/Adobe Premiere), instead of needing to rebuild everything from zero? You can find a playable version of this entire setup at :- https://github.com/zaidbren/SimpleEditor

Apple's WWDC video What’s new for the spatial web says the spatial-backdrop markup may change as it goes through the standards process (at 27:26 mark). I have started adding spatial-backdrops to web pages, so I want to keep an eye out for status updates by Apple and follow the standards progress. Is there any place I can keep an eye on this standards process? Has Apple announced any feature updates or news on spatial-backdrops?

Hi, I'm trying to implement web-browser SignIn with Apple with my new app. I'm trying to "Associate your website to your app" like described in this doc: https://developer.apple.com/help/account/capabilities/configure-sign-in-with-apple-for-the-web So I created a Service ID for this specific login. I want this login page to display my app icon and name when presented to users. My issue: When I associate my new app the the service, the link is somehow not working. The login page show the "service" login (with a generic apple logo and the Service ID's name) instead of the actual App name. I'v been able to link my new service to older apps succesfully !!! (the login page correctly shows the old apps icons and names) Why is my new app not associated with the service ? I am missing something here ? is there an additionnal step that I need to take in order to link the service to my newest app ? Thanks !

I am trying to migrate an app to use Network framework for p2p connection. I came across this great article for migrating to Network framework however this doesnt use the new structured concurrency. This being introduced with iOS 26, there doesnt seem to be any sample code available on how to use the new classes. I am particularly interested in code samples showing how to add TLS with PSK encryption support and handling of switching between Wifi and peer to peer interface with the new structured concurrency supported classes. Are there any good resources I can refer on this other than the WWDC video?

it seems that is going to the appstore to find the app to execute the share but my app is not in the appstore yet. I am using a sandboxed user and a non sandboxed user, I have tried real phones connected to xcode and simulator same effect, looking for how to test my ckshare in testflight thanks

We are in the process of preparing our app to support the new Texas law (SB2420) that takes effect 1/1/2026. After reviewing Apple's recent announcements​/docs concerning this subject, one thing isn't clear to me: how to associate an app install with a​n App Store Server RESCIND_CONSENT notification​ that could be delivered to our server. Our app is totally free so there isn't an originalTransactionId​ or other similar transaction IDs that would be generated as part of an in-app purchase (and then subsequently sent as part of the payload in the notification to our server during an in-app purchase scenario). So my question is: How do I associate an app (free app) install with an App Store Server RESCIND_CONSENT notification​ that is sent to our server​?

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I’m opening this discussion because we’ve encountered a repeated Guideline 4.3 rejection for an update, despite having previously addressed the same concern with the App Review team and reaching a resolution. Several weeks ago, we went through a detailed review process regarding Guideline 4.3. We provided full technical explanations, clarified our development structure, redesigned parts of the UI, and made all adjustments requested by the App Review team. That update was ultimately approved, and the app has been live on the App Store since then without any issues. However, our new submission—which includes only a critical bug fix—is now being rejected again for the same 4.3 reason. No changes have been made to the concept, design, or core functionality since the previously approved version. The update is not introducing new features or new UI; it simply resolves a performance bug affecting downloads and uploads, which users are already experiencing in the live version. We operate a single developer account, and our apps are entirely built in-house. Although we use open-source VPN cores (such as Xray-core and Clash), these frameworks are publicly available on GitHub and are commonly used by many developers. Our implementations, configurations, and UI are fully custom and not shared with any other apps. This was already reviewed and confirmed in our previous submission. We have already sent clear and detailed technical explanations through the Resolution Center—similar to what was accepted in our earlier approval—but unfortunately, it hasn’t resolved the issue this time. This situation is becoming difficult for us because: The current live version has a performance bug that users are already affected by. We are in the middle of ongoing campaigns, meaning delays can lead to financial impact. Negative user feedback due to this unresolved bug could permanently damage the app’s reputation. Since this exact concern was previously reviewed, discussed, and resolved with App Review, we are unsure why the same guideline is suddenly being applied to a simple bug-fix update. So I wanted to ask the community: Has anyone faced a similar situation where a previously resolved 4.3 issue resurfaced on later updates? Are there any specific details or approaches that helped clarify the situation for the review team? Is there anything additional we should highlight to prevent misunderstanding on automated or manual review? Any insights or shared experiences from other developers would be extremely valuable. Thank you in advance for your time and support.

Hello I have developed a standalone app for watchOS - trying my best to use best practices and floowing the (limited)documentation. But here I am, unable to distribute - or even Validate - my apps archive in Xcode. As far as I can tell, bundle_id's are correct. It has an iOS wrapper (set up by New Project), Skip install has been tried in every combination. I'm at a loss. I'm sure there is some simple setting or workflow that I am missing, but I've been at it for days. Yes. Days. Has anyone recently created and successfully distributed a standalone watch app that could help me troubleshoot? I would be extremely appreciative. My kids would too. They miss their dad (just one 5 more minutes, I think I got it!)(I didn't get it) Thank you bob

I built a couple of app intents for macOS, which generally work great. However, I'm struggling with configuring an app intent that takes a parameter, so that it doesn't require the app to launch before presenting people with the list of options. If the app is running and I run the intent in Spotlight, I can see the message defined by the intent's parameterSummary and I can select a parameter from the list of entities. If the app is not running, it is launched first and only then the intent message fully populates in Spotlight and allows parameter selection. What I've tried: Support background or deferred mode in the intent. Conformed the entities to IndexedEntity. Conformed the entity query to EnumerableEntityQuery, implementing suggestedEntities and allEntities. Conformed the entity query to EntityStringQuery. Donated the intent to Spotlight on app launch. Donated the entities to Spotlight on app launch, both using indexSearchableItems and indexAppEntities. Not sure if both are required or if the latter is just a more convenient version of the former. Do I have to conform to or implement something else? Do I need to work with an app intent extension? If so, would I put all app intent code into the extension instead of the main app? Is this a system bug I should file?
