Overview

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone here has experienced this and can point me in the right direction. I submitted my first app, Homeowners Checklist, for review and on May 21 the status changed to "Ready for Distribution." It has now been over two weeks and the status has never changed to "Ready for Sale" and the app has not appeared on the App Store. Here is my current setup: App Store Version Release is set to "Automatically release this version" There is no scheduled release date set All agreements in Agreements, Tax, and Banking show as Active I have not received any emails from Apple indicating there is an issue This is my first app on a new developer account I have contacted Apple Support multiple times via email and phone with no resolution. My case has been open since May 21 with no clear answer. Has anyone experienced this with their first app? Is there something I might be missing, or is this a known delay for new developer accounts? Any advice on who to contact or how to get this resolved would be greatly appreciated. Case ID for reference: 102900108706 Thank you

Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm encountering a persistent issue with my App Store Connect account where the bank account is stuck in "Processing" status, preventing me from fully activating the Paid Apps Agreement. This has been ongoing for several weeks, and despite following all recommended steps, including resubmitting tax forms, there's no progress, also contacting support who promise to reply in 48 hours but never do. This is urgent as I have 19,000 customers waiting for the app to launch, and the delay is causing significant business impact. I'm hoping someone here has experienced something similar and can offer advice, or perhaps Apple support can chime in to expedite. Account Details: Organization: Prosperity Bliss PTE Limited (Singapore-based PTE Ltd) Address: 2 Venture Drive, #19-21 Vision Exchange, Singapore, WILAYAH PERSEKUTUAN 608526 Account ID: 93410065 Agreements: Free Apps and Paid Apps Agreements are listed as Active (effective Dec 17, 2025 – Apr 18, 2026), but Paid Apps seems blocked due to banking. Bank Account: PROSPERITY BLISS (8256), Singapore, SGD currency, USD royalties. Tax Forms (all submitted Dec 15, 2025): U.S. Certificate of Foreign Status of Beneficial Owner: Active U.S. Substitute Form W-8BEN-E: Active Singapore Tax Questionnaire: Complete (resubmitted today, Dec 19, 2025, to try update the system) Issue Description: Initially, there was a yellow banner saying: "Your banking updates are processing, and you should see the changes in 24 hours. You won't be able to make any additional updates until then." This appeared weeks ago when I first added the bank details. Even after submitting all tax forms on Dec 15, the status remains "Processing," and the banner persists. I can't edit or add anything else in the Banking or Tax sections due to this lock. Steps I've Tried: Submitted all required tax forms on Dec 15, 2025 – they show as Active/Complete. Resubmitted the Singapore Tax Questionnaire today (Dec 19) as a potential fix, but no change yet. Logged out/in, cleared cache, tried different browsers/devices – no luck. Contacted Apple Developer Support via the web form (under Agreements, Tax, and Banking) multiple times over the past week – submitted tickets with screenshots and details, but no responses so far. Attempted phone support using regional numbers (+65 numbers for Singapore/Asia-Pacific), but got routed to general customer support instead of developer-specific. Requested a callback through developer.apple.com/contact/ – still waiting. From what I've read online (e.g., similar issues on Reddit and Apple Discussions), this seems like a common backend glitch, especially for non-US accounts, where the system gets into a loop (banking waiting on tax, but tax is done and locked by banking processing). Official docs say it should resolve in 24 hours, but it's been far longer. Has anyone else with a Singapore or international business account faced this and resolved it? Did you have to escalate to a specific team, or is there another workaround? Any tips on getting a faster response from support? I've attached screenshots of the Agreements page, Bank Accounts section (showing "Processing"), and Tax Forms for reference. Thanks in advance for any help – this is holding up my app distribution! Best, Frederik

Hi everyone, I am running into a critical issue while trying to set up TestFlight / manage builds via the App Store Connect API. The system constantly throws an HTTP 422 error with the following payload: { "errors" : [ { "id" : "d7e4e2fa-8c25-4a37-9695-f75da935b8aa", "status" : "422", "code" : "ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING", "title" : "Beta contract is missing for the app.", "detail" : "Beta Contract is missing." } ] } Important context about my setup: This is a brand new Apple Developer account. This app has never had a successful build uploaded or processed before. All agreements, banking, and tax contracts under the "Business" section are active and signed. There are no pending actions on my dashboard. It seems like the system is looking for a "Beta Contract" that should be automatically generated or triggered, but since this is the first deployment on a new account, it’s completely stuck. Has anyone experienced this specific issue with a new account? Is there any way to manually trigger the creation of this Beta contract, or is escalating this to Apple Engineering the only solution? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi. Our IT security team have flagged that on many developer machines they see a deprecated version of Python - 3.9.6. I've done some research on this and the general line is, feel free to upgrade the main version of Python on the Mac, but the version of Python which is internally used by Xcode (3.9.6) must be left unchanged. Our IT security team reached out to Apple and have received conflicting information as to if this Ruby 3.9.6 version can be upgraded. One response for example was "I asked my Solutions Engineer and he has come back with the following: We don’t include Python within macOS anymore, we install 3.9.6 with Xcode to support some of the internal tools - but there’s nothing preventing a customer updating that version: https://mac.install.guide/python/update". Does anyone know if it is possible to upgrade to a supported version? Kind regards, Kai.

Hi, I’m seeing a visual issue with a SwiftUI Menu styled with Liquid Glass on iOS 26. I have a top bar control where a Menu is inside a GlassEffectContainer. The menu label uses .glassEffect(.regular.interactive()), glassEffectID, and glassEffectUnion. The control normally looks translucent, matching the background correctly. But when I open the menu and then dismiss it, the glass control briefly becomes solid black for a moment before returning to the expected transparent/glass appearance. This is visible especially on a colorful/blurred background: Before opening the menu: the control is transparent Liquid Glass. Open the SwiftUI Menu. Dismiss the menu. The menu label/control briefly renders as a black pill. After a short delay, it returns to the correct transparent glass style. Here is the simplified structure: @Namespace private var namespace GlassEffectContainer(spacing: 18) { VStack(spacing: 4) { Menu { Button { selectedMode = .automatic } label: { Label("Automatic", systemImage: "wand.and.sparkles") } Button { selectedMode = .instant } label: { Label("Instant", systemImage: "bolt.fill") } Button { selectedMode = .thinking } label: { Label("Thinking", systemImage: "brain.head.profile") } Divider() Button { showSettings = true } label: { Label("Configure", systemImage: "slider.horizontal.3") } } label: { HStack(spacing: 8) { Image(systemName: selectedMode.icon) Text(selectedMode.title) Image(systemName: "chevron.down") } .padding(.horizontal, 16) .frame(minWidth: 92, minHeight: 48) .contentShape(RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 24, style: .continuous)) } } .glassEffect(.regular.interactive(), in: RoundedRectangle(cornerRadius: 24, style: .continuous)) .glassEffectUnion(id: "smart-intelligence-connected-menu", namespace: namespace) .glassEffectID("smart-intelligence-menu-pill", in: namespace) .buttonStyle(.plain) .labelStyle(.iconOnly) } I also tried applying .buttonStyle(.glass) directly to the Menu, and tried moving the glass effect between the Menu label and the wrapper VStack. The issue still appears: after dismissing the menu, the glass label briefly falls back to a solid black appearance before the transparent glass effect recovers. Is this expected behavior for SwiftUI.Menu with Liquid Glass, or is there a recommended way to avoid this black flash after menu dismissal? Should Menu labels avoid .glassEffect(.regular.interactive()) / GlassEffectContainer, or is there a different modifier order recommended for iOS 26? Thanks for reply.

Hello, I have an app for a research study that has been approved and authorized to use SensorKit. All my permissions, entitlements and authorizations are in order, but I still can't get any data. The didFetchResult is not being called even though didCompleteFetch is called. I have waited for over 24 hours, but it still returns no samples. Please, I would appreciate any help on this issue. Thank you func sensorReader( _ reader: SRSensorReader, fetchingRequest: SRFetchRequest, didFetchResult result: SRFetchResult<AnyObject> ) { receivedResultsInCurrentFetch = true print("✅ SensorKit fetch result received for: \(sensorKey)") AppLogger.shared.log("SensorKit fetch result received for \(sensorKey)") if let sample = result.sample as? T { print("✅ SensorKit sample matched expected type for \(sensorKey): \(T.self)") AppLogger.shared.log("SensorKit sample matched expected type for \(sensorKey): \(T.self)") processSample(sample) } else { print("❌ SensorKit sample did not match expected type for \(sensorKey): \(T.self)") AppLogger.shared.log("SensorKit sample did not match expected type for \(sensorKey): \(T.self)") } } func sensorReader(_ reader: SRSensorReader, didCompleteFetch request: SRFetchRequest) { if receivedResultsInCurrentFetch, let lastRequestedUpperBound { session.setSensorKitLastFetchTime(lastRequestedUpperBound, for: sensorKey) print("✅ SensorKit fetch completed with samples for \(sensorKey). Checkpoint updated.") } else { print("⚠️ SensorKit fetch completed for \(sensorKey) with no samples.") AppLogger.shared.log("SensorKit fetch completed for \(sensorKey) with no samples. Keeping previous checkpoint so delayed SensorKit data is not skipped.") } isFetchInFlight = false completePendingFetches(success: true) print("✅ SensorKit fetch completed for: \(sensorKey)") AppLogger.shared.log("Fetch request completed for sensor type: \(T.self)") }

Hello, I am posting here in hope of getting traction on an Organization enrollment that has been stuck for 4 weeks, with no reply from Developer Support for the past 9 days despite all requested documentation being provided. Timeline May 14, 2026 - Started Organization enrollment for my organization, a US-registered limited liability company that I solely own and manage. May 19, 2026 - Initial documentation submitted. May 27, 2026 - Received an email from Gisele (Developer Support) requesting: Applicant's government-issued photo ID (USA) Applicant's employment verification May 28, 2026 - Uploaded the complete documentation package through the secure file-upload portal, and replied to Gisele's email with a detailed clarification on both items. June 5, 2026 - Still no response. 9 days of silence. Apple's original message stated that next steps would be communicated within two business days. We are now well past that. My situation I provided my KYC documents (Passport). I am the sole member and sole manager of the LLC. The "government-issued photo ID (USA)" request does not apply: I am not a US person and I am not required to hold US-issued ID. My valid passport is, per Apple's own published guidance, an accepted form of government-issued photo identification. The "employment verification" request also does not apply: Apple's published enrollment policy states that this is required only if the applicant is not the owner/founder. I am the owner and founder. Documentation provided (full package) Passport (government-issued photo ID) Signed Statement of Authority and Sole Membership Signed Operating Agreement (single member) IRS EIN Assignment Notice CP575, naming me as Sole Member IRS EIN Verification Letter 147C Articles of Organization and Certificate of Organization (filing ID) Initial Resolutions naming me as the sole Member Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S confirmation Context that may help prioritization Our first product is already live and publicly available on Google Play in 177 countries, under the legal entity Novalis Partners LLC. Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.novalispartnersllc.budget The company is fully operational, the product is shipping, but iOS distribution is blocked solely by this enrollment being stuck. Case reference Case ID: 102888036786 Enrollment ID: DAJ7B62DSR What I am asking Can this case be reviewed and routed to a Developer Program Support Manager? Has anyone in a similar situation (non-US founder of a US LLC) found a path to unblock organization enrollment? Is there any official escalation channel beyond the standard email reply loop? Any guidance from Apple staff or from the community is appreciated. I am happy to provide any additional documentation needed, but at this point I just need a human response. Thank you.

In this iOS app, with UIKit in Swift, I create a UISegmentedControl in stroryboard. I define the text for each segmentTitles in IB ,and need to localise. I have tried in the main.xxx files "id.segmentTitles" = ["a", "b", "c", "d", "e"]; to no avail. I understand this is a very very old issue that UISegmentedControl are not localized from stroryboard: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12884751/uisegmentedcontrol-and-localization I tried to use a similar approach as for UITextView (which are not either localized) helpTextView.text = NSLocalizedString("id.text", tableName: "Main", comment: "helpTextView") But cannot make it. I found a work around, by localising in code: let seg0 = NSLocalizedString("a", comment: "Segment") segmentedControl.setTitle(seg0, forSegmentAt: 0) However, I get error messages in log unless I clear the segment titles in IB: ERROR: id.segmentTitles[0] not found in table Main of bundle CFBundle 0x600003b101c0 Is there a solution to this ?

Hello everyone, I'm hoping to get some advice from anyone who has been through a similar situation. I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an organization on 29 May 2026. It has now been about a week, and the status still shows "Your enrollment is being processed" with no updates. I also scheduled a callback with Apple Developer Support and did receive a call — but each time I was kept on hold for anywhere from 40+ minutes to a couple of hours waiting to be connected to a representative, without any real resolution. So far there has been no request for additional documents, no completed identity verification, and no clear explanation of what's holding things up. This delay is holding up our ability to set up App Store Connect and move forward with publishing. A few questions for the community: Has anyone enrolled as an organization around the same time and experienced a similar wait? Is there a specific escalation path or action that actually helped move things along? Should I expect a phone call to verify the organization / authority to enroll, or is there something I should proactively request? Case ID: 102881921584 Any guidance from Apple staff or fellow developers who have resolved a similar case would be hugely appreciated. Thank you in advance.

On visionOS 26.5, I noticed the Safari Extension 'WebXR Augmented Reality Module' option. I've enabled this option in Safari Settings, and restarted Safari, but when I try to launch a WebXR experience that supports immersive-ar as option (for example this one: https://www.viverse.com/dPASDhP I don't see the option to Play in AR (like I do with a Quest 3S headset) Does anyone have any examples of websites that can make use of this new WebXR Augmented Reality Module feature flag in Safari, on visionOS?

Nothing changed on my end, Pro subscription still active, but Xcode 26.5 (17F42) simply does not want to log into Codex anymore. It opens the OAuth flow and after finishing and closing the window, it still says "Not Signed In". Codex login works everywhere else, including the Codex app. What to do?

Hi, I am new to Apple developer world. I am trying to publish my app. When I submit the app for review, i am getting a rejected status with unresolved issues. On the distribution page, i am getting "1.0 Invalid Binary". But no information about what the issue is that needs fixing, no email to tell me what the issue is. Has anyone seen this before? I have sent two emails to Apple, both unanswered and cannot get hold of them on the phone! As a paying member, i expect a bit more help and communication from Apple!!! app id: 6772153999

I’m delighted with the introduction of new color folders. Although, I can’t help but wonder why we still need both color folders and tags. Aren’t the color folders sufficient for our needs?

Hello, about a month ago, the Apple Store account of my former company was closed. I was already registered as a developer, so there's no problem with that. Was my personal account also closed when this company account was shut down? I contacted Apple support about this, and they said they would investigate. I still haven't received a response. Was my account closed? Or is there another issue? Nobody is explaining why this happened.

My app OneNest (App Store ID: 6762323106) has had in-app purchase localizations in "Waiting for Review" status for nearly 2 weeks. My subscriptions were approved but the localization for both the subscription and lifetime purchase IAPs remains pending. This is actively blocking customers from completing purchases in my live app. I have an open support ticket but have not received a response in 2 weeks. Has anyone experienced this? Is there a way to escalate IAP localization review specifically? Any guidance would be appreciated.

We're seeing limitations in host -> macOS VM changes syncing. Were using Anka, but we've also tried others. We're actually doing the exact implementation that others (the ones we found that are open source) do. Here is a breakdown of what's supported: Operation Direction Supported Notes Create new file/folder Host → Guest ✅ Yes New paths appear in the guest Create new file/folder Guest → Host ✅ Yes New paths appear on the host Read existing contents Host → Guest ✅ Yes Contents present at mount time are visible Modify file in place Guest → Host ✅ Yes Guest edits are written through to the host Modify file in place Host → Guest ❌ No Guest keeps stale contents for already-accessed files (macOS virtiofs caching) Delete file/folder Guest → Host ✅ Yes Removal is reflected on the host Delete file/folder Host → Guest ❌ No Guest still sees the path after the host deletes it (cached) Replace via temp + rename() (atomic) Host → Guest ✅ Yes New inode/dentry; recommended way to update files from the host We're requesting a way to disable caching and/or allow the unsupported actions in the table to be supported. https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/22905515

Summary: Starting from iPadOS 26.4, the maximum memory available to a single app has been reduced from approximately 6GB to 3GB on an 8GB iPad. This change persists in iPadOS 26.5 and has not been addressed. This breaks core functionality of memory-intensive applications such as 3D scanning apps that require large amounts of RAM to process models. Device: iPad with 8GB RAM Affected versions: iPadOS 26.4, iPadOS 26.5 Working version: iPadOS 26.0 / 26.1 / 26.2 / 26.3 Measured Data: iPadOS 26.0–26.3: App available memory ≈ 6GB (75% of total RAM) iPadOS 26.4–26.5: App available memory ≈ 3GB (37.5% of total RAM) Measurement method: Apple system API Impact: This is a regression, not expected behavior. The available memory per app has been cut by 50% without any official documentation or release notes mentioning this change. As a result, our 3D scanning application crashes immediately when attempting to process 3D models on iPadOS 26.4 and later. The app requires substantial RAM to load and process 3D model data. With only 3GB available, memory allocation fails during model processing, causing the app to crash (EXC_RESOURCE / OOM kill). This core functionality was working correctly on iPadOS 26.3 and earlier with the same device and same app binary. This regression makes our app's primary feature completely unusable for all users on iPadOS 26.4+. Steps to Reproduce: On an 8GB iPad, install iPadOS 26.0 Measure available app memory using Apple system API Upgrade to iPadOS 26.4 or 26.5 Measure available app memory again Observe: available memory drops from ~6GB to ~3GB Expected Result: Available memory per app should remain consistent across minor OS updates, or any changes should be documented. Actual Result: Available memory per app dropped by 50% starting in iPadOS 26.4, with no documentation of this change. Additional Notes: Disabling Apple Intelligence does not resolve the issue This issue was not fixed in iPadOS 26.5 Other developers have reported increased crash rates starting in iPadOS 26.4 (Apple Developer Forums)

It has been 6 days since we submitted our app for review, and the status is still showing “Waiting for Review,” even though the guidelines mention reviews are usually completed within 48 hours. We also contacted support but have not received any response yet. Has anyone else experienced similar delays recently? Any advice would be appreciated.

We tried to fetch the recorded PPG data using SensorKit with the following code, however the didFetchResult callback method is never called. let ppgReader = SRSensorReader(sensor: .photoplethysmogram) let request = SRFetchRequest() let nowDate = Date() let toDate = nowDate.addingTimeInterval(-25 * 60 * 60) let fromDate = toDate.addingTimeInterval(-24 * 60 * 60) request.from = SRAbsoluteTime.fromCFAbsoluteTime(_cf: fromDate.timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate) request.to = SRAbsoluteTime.fromCFAbsoluteTime(_cf: toDate.timeIntervalSinceReferenceDate) ppgReader.delegate = self; ppgReader.fetch(request) The delegate called the didComplete successfully: func sensorReader(_ reader: SRSensorReader, didCompleteFetch fetchRequest: SRFetchRequest) But never called the didFetchResult func sensorReader(_ reader: SRSensorReader, fetching fetchRequest: SRFetchRequest, didFetchResult result: SRFetchResult<AnyObject>) -> Bool Any ideas why ? (I am wearing the watch for couple days and ensure it has the data for the time period I am querying) One thing I notice is when Apple granted us the entitlement, it uses Uppercase for ECG and PPG, however the document use Lowercases in the plist https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sensorkit/srsensor/photoplethysmogram Dose it matter ?
