Overview

Hello, At work, we want to release a new version of our cross-platform desktop application this week. Unfortunately, I've had issues getting the dmg signed by the Apple notary service, which will delay the release until it's successful. However, I remade and successfully signed the previously released version (also dmg) with the same credentials, so I know it's not a problem with the file format or my account. I have tried the following to no avail: Lots of Googling Running xcrun notarytool submit with the -v option (verbose) to see more error messages Going to the URL given (appstoreconnect.apple.com/notary/v2/submissions/{submission_id}) and examining the file it downloaded (not much info, let alone helpful info) Contacting Apple developer support over the phone (they couldn't help with this particular issue, since it's "code-level support") The only big change we made this time was switching to Maven for our build tool and dependency management (we previously used Ant with manual dependency management). Does anyone here have any insight? Is there a list of known issues or dependencies that will cause a submission to be invalidated? Or, even better, any way to see why the submission is invalid? Thanks.

I am working on a cross-platform application where, on Android and Windows, I explicitly load dynamic libraries at runtime (e.g., LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress on Windows and equivalent mechanisms on Android). This allows me to control when and how modules are loaded, and to transfer execution flow from the main executable into the dynamically loaded library. I want to follow a similar approach on macOS (and also iOS) and explicitly load a framework (instead of relying on implicit linking via import). From my exploration so far, I have come across the following options: Using Bundle (NSBundle) - Load framework using: let bundle = Bundle(path: path) try bundle?.load() Access functionality via NSPrincipalClass and @objc methods (class-based entry) Using dlopen + dlsym Load the framework binary and resolve symbols: let handle = dlopen(path, RTLD_NOW) let sym = dlsym(handle, "EntryPoint") Expose Swift functions using @_cdecl Using a hybrid approach (Bundle + dlsym) - Use Bundle for loading and dlsym for symbol access From what I understand: Bundle works well for class-based/plugin-style designs using the Objective-C runtime while dlopen/dlsym works at the symbol level and is closer to what I am doing on other platforms However, my requirement is specifically: Explicit runtime loading (not compile-time linking) Ability to transfer execution flow from the main executable into the dynamically loaded framework **What is the recommended approach on macOS for this kind of explicit dynamic loading, or is implicit loading the way to go? Also, would it differ for interactive and non-interactive apps? ** In what scenarios would Apple recommend using Bundle instead of dlopen? Is there any other methods best for this explicit loading of frameworks on Apple?

pkgbuild on Tahoe (26.3.1) fails to build packages if any directory name contains non-ascii characters. pkgbuild is able to build successfully with the same source data on previous versions on macOS, so this is a regression and prevents us from build able to build our products on macOS 26. Example that demonstrates the issue: mkdir -p MyAppData/Taishōgoto echo "Testing" >> MyAppData/Taishōgoto/Content.txt pkgbuild --identifier com.example.MyAppData --install-location '/Library/Application Support/MyAppData' --root MyAppData myappdata.pkg Error messages: parent directory ./Taishōgoto does not exist pkgbuild: error: Cannot write package to "myappdata.pkg". (The file “package.bom” couldn’t be saved in the folder “NSIRD_pkgbuild_52fPuN”.) I have submitted this via Feedback Assistant (FB22312299). I have not found a workaround. Tried copying pkgbuild from Sequoia but the problem persisted, probably because the buggy code is in PackageKit rather than the tool itself.

Hello, I have implemented a URL Filter using the sample provided here: Filtering Traffic by URL. I am also using an App Group to dynamically manage the Bloom filter and block list data. However, when I update my block list URLs and create a new Bloom filter plist in the App Group, the extension does not seem to use the updated Bloom filter even after the prefetch interval expires. Also for testing purpose can I keep this interval to 10 mins or below ?

Currently I have an app which is completely free for all the users, I might have future versions where I will introduce paid version, where I will surely use Apple IAP and Revenue CAT. How should I clarify this to App store? Should I tell only what I am doing today, or also tell what I will do in future and keep Apple IAP in my conversation?

I’m trying to build a persistent world map of my college campus using ARKit, but it’s not very reliable. Anchors don’t consistently appear in the same place across sessions. I’ve tried using image anchors, but they didn’t improve accuracy much. How can I create a stable world map for a larger area and reliably relocalize anchors? Are there better approaches or recommended resources for this?

I added a Content Filter to my app, and when running it in Xcode (Debug/Release), I get the expected permission prompt: "Would like to filter network content (Allow / Don't Allow)". However, when I install the app via TestFlight, this prompt doesn’t appear at all, and the feature doesn’t work. Is there a special configuration required for TestFlight? Has anyone encountered this issue before? Thanks!

My Apple Developer account was registered with a company Gmail address that has since been permanently deleted. Now when I try to log in, I reach the 2FA step but the verification code is no longer sent to my registered phone number. I am completely locked out. Has anyone experienced this or knows how to contact Apple to recover access?

Environment: Device: Apple Vision Pro visionOS: 26.3.1 Xcode: 26.2 (17C52) Sample: Creating an interactive 3D model in visionOS Repro steps: Build and run the official sample from Xcode Confirm the car model displays correctly Quit the app Relaunch the app from Home Observe that the official car model no longer appears / fails to restore correctly Expected: The official car model should display normally after relaunching from Home Actual: The sample works when launched from Xcode, but fails when relaunched from Home

Since macOS 26 Beta 1, I notice that the window reopening behavior had changed. Say there are two desktops (spaces), one might: open an app window in desktop 1 close that window switch to desktop 2 reopen the app window (by click on dock tile, spotlight search...) Prior to macOS 26, that window will always reopen in current desktop. This is IMO the right behavior because these windows are most likely transient (message app, chat app, utilities app or note app). In macOS 26, however, will switch to desktop 1 (where the window is closed) and reopen the window in desktop 1. This is weird to me because: Window is "closed", hence it should not be attached to desktop 1 anymore, unlike minimize. Switching desktop interrupts user's current workflow. It's annoying to switch back specially when there're many desktops. This behavior is inconsistent. Some reopen in current desktop, some reopen in previous desktop. Apps like Music, Notes and Calendar reopened in previous desktop, while Mail, Messages, and Freeform reopened in current desktop. I did a little bit of experiment, and find out that apps that reopened in current desktop are most likely because they take an extra step to release the window when it's closed. I believe this is a bug, so I fire a feedback (FB18016497) back in beta 1. But I did not get any response or similar report from others, to a point that I kinda wonder if this is intended. I can easily force my app to reopen in current desktop by nullifying my window controller in windowWillClose, but this behavior essentially change how one can use the Spaces feature that I think I should bring this up to the community and see what other developers or engineers thinks about it.

Subject: Unable to Complete Apple Developer Registration – No Clear Reason Provided Hello, I am currently trying to register for an Apple Developer account, but I keep receiving the following response: "We are unable to process your enrollment for one or more reasons." I contacted support to ask for the specific reason, but the reply I received was exactly the same message: "We are unable to process your enrollment for one or more reasons." According to the emails and support responses, I am unable to get any clear explanation or solution. The app directs me to contact customer service, but customer service only repeats the same message, which makes it impossible to resolve the issue. At this point, I personally cannot think of any possible reason that would cause this problem. Even after reaching out multiple times, including to senior support staff, I still receive the same generic response without any details. This situation feels completely blocked with no way forward. I would like to ask: Is there any way to find out the specific reason for the rejection? Are there any steps I can take to resolve this issue and successfully complete the registration? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I’m working on a real-time head/face tracking pipeline using a standard 2D RGB camera, and I’m trying to better understand how ARKit achieves such stable and responsive results in comparable conditions. To clarify upfront: I’m specifically interested in RGB-only tracking and the underlying vision/ML pipeline. I’m not using TrueDepth or any depth/IR-based sensors, and I’d like to understand how similar stability and responsiveness can be achieved under those constraints. In my current setup, I estimate head pose from RGB frames (facial landmarks + PnP) and apply temporal filtering (e.g., exponential smoothing and Kalman filtering). This significantly reduces jitter, but introduces noticeable latency, especially during faster head movements. What stands out in ARKit is that it appears to maintain both: Very low jitter Very low perceived latency even when operating with camera input alone. I’m trying to understand what techniques might contribute to this behavior. In particular: Does ARKit use predictive tracking (e.g., velocity or acceleration-based pose extrapolation) to compensate for camera and processing delays in RGB-only scenarios? Are there recommended strategies for balancing temporal smoothing and responsiveness without introducing visible lag in camera-based pose estimation pipelines? Is the tracking pipeline internally decoupled from rendering (e.g., asynchronous processing with prediction applied at render time)? Are there general best practices for minimizing end-to-end latency in vision-based head tracking systems beyond standard filtering approaches? I understand that implementation details may not be public, but any high-level insights or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, We recently transferred our iOS app to a new Apple Developer account, and we are experiencing an issue that is currently blocking our release. The transfer of the main app appears to have completed successfully: The app is visible in App Store Connect under the recipient account The main bundle ID is available However, the App IDs for our extensions are missing from the recipient account in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. Affected bundle identifiers: com.finanfut.finanfut.NotificationService com.finanfut.finanfut.NotificationContentExtension The issue is: These App IDs do NOT appear in the recipient account We are NOT able to create them manually Apple returns: “The app identifier is not available” As a result: Xcode cannot generate provisioning profiles We get errors like: "No profiles for 'com.finanfut.finanfut.NotificationContentExtension' were found" We are blocked from archiving and distributing the app It seems that the App IDs are still reserved in Apple's backend but were not properly assigned to the new team after the transfer. We have already contacted Apple Developer Support so many times but have not yet received a response. Has anyone experienced this issue after an app transfer with extensions? Is there any workaround, or does this require Apple backend intervention? Any help or confirmation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I’m facing a confusing issue in App Store Connect and hoping someone here has encountered this before. Context: • Company developer account (UK-based) • App is free to download • Only optional In-App Purchases (Apple IAP) • No external payments • Using standard App Store distribution • Paid Apps agreement is active • US tax forms (W-8BEN-E) are active Issue: Under Agreements → Tax Forms, I see: United Kingdom Tax Info – Alternative Terms Addendum – Missing Tax Info However: • There is no Alternative Terms Addendum visible under Agreements • I have not intentionally opted into EU DMA Alternative Terms • I do not have a UK VAT number (Apple should be Merchant of Record under standard IAP) Finance Support says they do not support Alternative Terms. Agreements support has not responded yet. Questions: 1. Can the Alternative Terms flag exist only under Tax Forms without a visible agreement? 2. How can a developer revert back to standard App Store terms if this happens? 3. Has anyone had Apple remove this EU DMA backend flag manually? Any guidance or similar experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance

Was working before, no longer working this week. Trying to sign in to my Claude Pro account via Xcode Intelligence. Goes to browser, I login, and accept authorization in Claude then redirect back to Xcode is reject. Everytime, multiple browsers, and even trying the add "/" that others have noted for other cases.
