Overview

Hello, I'm working in the team with 70 i(Pad)OS test devices running 24/7, and 40 of them are iOS 18 or 26. The problem is: for enterprise apps to be tested (signed with ADEP inhouse profile) the devices over iOS 18 require Enterprise App developers to be allowed at least once with physical control on-device after reboot, which is quite burdensome because we put all the devices in the restricted area, supposed to be used from the remote. Devices are logged into Apple ID for the prevention of Activation Lock but no preparation nor management via MDM over Apple Configurator 2. Is there any binary, tool, app that can check (letting us allow devices for those developers would be even better) if the Enterprise App developer(s) are allowed for the device via terminal or VNC?

Any idea when will the results of Swift Student Challenge be declared?

Hey there, We are being incorrectly blocked by Time Limits since the iOS 26 update released earlier this year. We are receiving complaints from parents that set a screentime limit for "All apps", and then add an exception for us, that they are still getting blocked by the OS after a certain period of time. While we originally thought this was fixed in 26.1, we have recently been made aware it still occurs. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Is there something we can do from our side to protect ourselves from this? Telling customers to remove their "All app" limit isn't really practical given our customer base, so we're looking to see if there's something on Apple's end or our end that can alleviate this.

I've tried everything I can to restore the most recent document at cold start in my DocumentGroup iOS app. Q1. I believe it's not possible, but I would be happy to be proven wrong? Q2. Why is this not possible? My users who only edit one document find it quite annoying to have to select it so frequently.

Apple MacOS Sequoia 15.4.1 Creates a ton of unused network interfaces and it's a nightmare trying to figure out what they all do, what theyr're linked to, etc. It appears that network links utun0, utun1, utun2, ... are never used or useful. ip link shows they are all status UNKNOWN. I don't use a VPN or anything like that, and the documentation on these interfaces does not exist. I'd like to permanently delete them and permanently prevent them from ever being created again -- how can I accomplish this task?

I am looking for some guidance regarding a significant delay in the review process for my app update. Platform: iOS Submission Date: March 6, 2026 Current Status: In Review It has now been 12 days, and the status has been "In Review." I have checked my App Store Connect "App Review" section, but there are no outstanding requests for information or messages from the review team. I have already attempted to contact the App Review team via the official "Contact Us" form but have only received generic automated responses. Is anyone else experiencing similar delays this month? Are there currently known backlogs, or should I consider canceling this release and re-submitting? Thank you for any insights.

I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program about 7 days ago, but my account is still showing as “Pending,” and I haven’t received any updates yet. I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support via email, but I haven’t heard back so far. I wanted to check if this waiting period is typical, or if I should take any additional steps to complete the enrollment process. Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently? Any guidance on the usual approval timeline would be appreciated.

Hi everyone, We have recently started distributing iOS 26 Apple Wallet boarding passes, which support new features such as: Live Activities Automatic updates for flight-related information (e.g., gate changes, departure time updates) While these features are useful, we are looking for ways to control or limit some of this behavior. Our requirements Live Activity Control We would like to prevent Live Activities from being automatically shown when a boarding pass is added to Wallet. Automatic Flight Data Updates We would like to control or disable the automatic updates performed by Wallet for flight information. Reason for this requirement We already provide our own Live Activity implementation with more customization, and having two Live Activities leads to a poor user experience. We have observed that Wallet’s automatic updates can sometimes be delayed, and since Wallet overrides our data, we lose control over the displayed information. Question Is there any supported way to: Disable or control Live Activities triggered by Wallet passes? Disable or override Wallet’s automatic flight updates? Or are these behaviors managed entirely by the system with no developer control? Any guidance or documentation references would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! Regards,

Today marks 7 weeks of waiting for my enrollment confirmation. Imagine being one of the world's largest companies, yet people who want to cooperate with you have to wait 7 weeks or more just to get developer status. I am speechless… how much longer can this continue? This is not meant as criticism, but simply a cry from my soul as a developer who just wants to start working

Recently, we have received continuous feedback from users that the Bluetooth key and digital key are not working properly or are not functioning; Through analysis of App logs, it was found that after the iOS system locks the screen, the iBeacon background keep-alive function fails, Bluetooth connection also fails, and system callbacks cannot be obtained; the digital key also fails, and it fails simultaneously with the Bluetooth key; We have checked the specific permission configuration and it aligns with the recommended configuration in the official documentation, with no abnormalities. Although this type of issue is not a widespread problem, it has been continuously reported by users and is very troublesome. Does the official team have a clear explanation? Why are both Bluetooth keys and digital keys affected after the app is locked? Digital keys should be less affected. The following is a log analysis of a certain user 1: Step 2, the App entered the background; Step 3, the App's Bluetooth was disconnected; 3-4 The App remained in the background for 5 hours before being launched again 2: This type of issue is due to the system disconnecting the Bluetooth connection when the app enters the background; most likely, the app has been killed by the system when the user gets out of the car, and it has not been revived; the car key also does not work; During the time period from 2026-03-23T17:59:33 to 2026-03-23T21:23:49, why didn't carkey work properly 1：2026-03-23T16:52:11.676+08:00 new_carkey: key:, rssi:-89, AUTH_OK 2：2026-03-23T17:55:51.782+08:00 new_carkey: AppMonitor appDidEnterBackground bleStatus: success(Nimbus.NIOCarBLEKey.State.connected) 3：2026-03-23T17:59:33.747+08:00 new_carkey: ibeacon: didExitRegion, vid: NIO BLE Key, uuid: *** bleStatus: failure(Error Domain=CBErrorDomain Code=15 ""Failed to encrypt the connection, the connection has timed out unexpectedly.""

Dear Xcode cloud support. on 30.1.2026 Xcode cloud was not able to connect to our git server. so I deleted the repository from app store connect Xcode cloud settings and deleted the Xcode cloud in app store connect for all our apps. I started to create Xcode cloud workflow from Xcode and when I want to Grant Access - Register GitLab Application - to our git repository I get and error : "504 Client Timeout. If you are using a firewall, it must be configured to accept incoming connections." git is behind VPN but the IP address ranges 17.58.0.0/18, 17.58.192.0/18, and 57.103.0.0/22 are white labeled and before 30.1.2026 it was working. I contacted the gitlab administrators and they acknowledged that during "Register GitLab Application" they see no traffic (in gltlab and proxy server) from xcode cloud. I tried "Register GitLab Application" multiple times until now with same error. It is not app specific because this error happens for all our apps. Thanks a lot yours sincerely, Zoltan Bognar More Info: Source Control Provider: git-lab self-managed, tested with web browser: safari, chrome I can provide additional info like Primary repository, App store team ID, Entity Name, Link to repository, Application ID to grant access, and bundle id. if needed.

We are using an app created with the Apple Developer Enterprise Program within our company. Every year, we recreate and distribute the app in conjunction with the renewal of the provisioning profile. Currently, there are cases where an app that expired in September 2025 is still running, which is causing problems. What could be the cause of this? The app operates on a VPN, but Apple domains are accessible.

Hello, currently I am facing with issue. Our app's first distribution had got review in 5 days then accepted. In our previous apps it was only 3 days for first review that's not problem. Now again after distribution I have fixed some problems and now it is in review for three days. It was always maximum 1 days for reviews now it takes lot of time. Does anyone face this issue?

Hi everyone, My TestFlight build has been stuck in 'Waiting for Review' for over 32 hours and I'm hoping someone can help or share their experience. The situation: I have an External Testing group with a Public Link set up. The build was submitted for Beta App Review on March 19th but it's been over 32 hours with no update. I have 25+ testers waiting to install the app. What I've tried: Waited patiently Checked App Store Connect multiple times No rejection emails received No issues flagged by Apple Questions: Is anyone else experiencing unusually long review times for TestFlight external builds right now? Is there anything I can do to speed up the process or check if something is wrong? Has anyone successfully resolved this by contacting Apple Developer Support directly? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Apple Support Case ID: 102846633409

Good Afternoon, I received an official email from Apple saying "Your enrollment request has been accepted. To complete your organization's enrollment in the Apple Developer Program, please sign in to your developer account to review and accept the Apple Developer Program License Agreement, and complete your membership purchase." However as i reach the payment page and enter my credit card details, it rejects the credit card, Things i have tried: Payment with 3 other credit cards over 3 different devices (incase any of that was an affecting factor) Using an apple device to reach the payment page Waiting 1.5 weeks incase it is a server issue

Hello everyone, a few months ago I started building an app using flutter, and a few days ago when I told one of my friends to test it trough Test Flight he asked me why it shows an 🟡 Yellow Circle in front of the app name ? is there an Apple documentation regarding this yellow circle so I can point others to that page ? I googled to find out about this behaviour and it says that my app uses the microphone, but I do not have any code, any library that is using the microphone, it is an Outdoor/GPS Recording app. Thank you.

Hello, iOS 26.4 has new APIs which is great. This brings new capability and updated permissions "flow". However as soon as we add the "Family Controls App and Website Usage" capability, then anyone on iOS 26.4 and above can either only approve full access or no access at all. (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/familycontrols/authorizationstatus/approvedwithdataaccess) The previous permission is impossible to obtain. Am I missing something? Is this intended behavior? We can imagine a situation where the user doesn't want to give full access (perhaps because the permissions screen says the app is able to see usage - which is not correct) but they still want to approve Screen Time permissions so the app can apply shields and what not. Thanks.

My developer enrollment(L297KTAW5F) was initiated on 10March and when the Enrollment in review was completed and when i did the payment in tab, the payment didn't go anywhere and it was totally stuck. Though the payment gone from my account, the enrollment was stuck and later in 3 days, the payment was reverted to my account. So no issues on the payment side. Now again when i opened Developer app, i was asked to do the enrollment again(FL44QTK67R). Now the enrollment is stuck in review and I opened a case id - 102847803343, and I got a email a day later asking to upload few documents which I did immediately. Since then I had been following up on email to update about the enrollment and no response yet. When playstore could do it in 2 days time, a company like apple giving a tough time with no options for a resolution is terrible.

Hello, I am experiencing a persistent TestFlight installation issue affecting multiple unrelated apps under the same Apple Developer account. For all affected apps: Builds upload successfully to App Store Connect Processing completes normally Builds appear in TestFlight Internal and external testing can be enabled Public links generate correctly However, when attempting to install the app via TestFlight, the installation fails with the error: “The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist.” This occurs: For internal testers For external testers Across different Apple IDs Across different devices With newly created apps After incrementing build numbers After re-uploading builds After signing out/in of TestFlight After regenerating provisioning profiles After creating entirely new app entries The issue currently affects: • TubeChat AI – Apple ID 6752591427 • Vibex – Apple ID 6756860663 • vigilAI – Apple ID 6757738356 Since multiple unrelated apps are impacted in the same way, this appears to be an account-level or App Store Connect backend issue rather than a code signing or project configuration problem. Has anyone encountered a similar situation where TestFlight distribution fails across all apps within a developer account? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

When I submit the app to TestFlight beta review I get the error show on UI. (I filled all filed info in Beta Infomation) There was an error processing your request. Please try again later I was inspected Safari to see the detailed error and I got the below error. Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 422 () and the detailed javascript error componentStack: undefined errorCode: undefined message: "API Response Error: TF_BETA_APP_REVIEW_RESPONSE" stackTrace: "status code: 422 --- api correlation key: NZEKCTWMNANXDZVTRD3V4GNE3U" Anyone can tell me the problem and how to fix it. Many Thanks.
