Overview

Hello, hope everyone’s doing well. For context, I’m on an organization App Developer account. I got my app taken down yesterday because my membership did not get renewed. I got an email saying that I should renew it from the Apple Developer app, but when I go to the app logged in as my account holder there’s no Renew button anywhere - same thing on the web. I had signed all the agreements before the expiration but now they show as “expired” on the App Store Connect with no way for me to sign the agreements again. I would really appreciate any support on this.

My app was rejected July 16 under Guideline 2.1 (Information Needed) with four questions about the Clinical Health Records API. I replied in full the same day in the Resolution Center, and followed up in that thread on July 22. It has now been 12 days with no response from App Review. I have also contacted Developer Support (case 102942988807), which replied twice but could not provide status on the submission. I have not clicked Resubmit, since Apple's message asked me to reply, and I understand resubmitting closes the correspondence thread. Is there anything further I should be doing, or is a reply alone sufficient to return the submission to the review queue? Submission ID: bc855e56-3ef8-482d-96b0-4380d3fc4a68

My notarization submission has been stuck in In Progress for over four days (100+ hours) and I'd appreciate a status check. Submission ID: e1b209de-c30b-42b7-b431-afaf39e9681b Team ID: Q77SU7HBNQ Submitted: July 28, 2026 (late evening, US Eastern) via xcrun notarytool submit Payload: a zip containing a signed macOS app bundle (arm64, Developer ID Application certificate), about 90 MB compressed Additional context: This is a brand-new Developer ID account — these are my first-ever submissions. An earlier submission (2b1c4738…) appeared to be lost entirely: after several hours, notarytool info and notarytool history no longer returned it, so I resubmitted the identical zip as the submission ID above. The current submission definitely exists — notarytool info returns it and reports In Progress on every poll, and has for 100+ hours. I have not resubmitted again, per the guidance in similar threads that first-time submissions can be held for extended analysis. I understand from other threads (e.g. 821679, 818256, 814827, 821858) that first submissions from new accounts can be held for in-depth analysis. Could someone take a look at this submission and let me know whether it is still progressing normally, or whether something is wedged and I should resubmit? Thank you!

it has been 10 days since i submitted my app: ProteinQuest - Protein Tracker for review and i mentioned that it is an important update for me due to revenue being involved. Yet despite this i haven't received a response on my latest update review status. I beg, someone please tell me what i have done wrong.

Saving a CKShare together with its root record in a custom zone in the user's private database fails on every attempt. The client sees CKError .serverRejectedRequest / .invalidArguments. The CloudKit Console server log shows the failure is on the system record type _pcs_data, not on our own record type: { "database":"PRIVATE", "zone":"SharedStatusZone", "operationType":"RecordSave", "platform":"iPhone", "clientOS":"iOS;26.5.x", "overallStatus":"USER_ERROR", "error":"BAD_REQUEST", "requestId":"FDB0D10E-0B82-4C71-9262-90D9A2EA3787", "returnedRecordTypes":"_pcs_data" } In the same session, ZoneSave and RecordFetch SUCCEED. Only the RecordSave that carries the CKShare fails. Container: iCloud.com.nyeong.yakmeokping (Production) Device: iPhone, iOS 26.5.x What we do (simplified) let zone = CKRecordZone(zoneID: ownerZoneID) _ = try await db.modifyRecordZones(saving: [zone], deleting: []) // succeeds let record = CKRecord(recordType: "MedStatus", recordID: ownerRecordID) // plain String / Int64 / Date fields only let share = CKShare(rootRecord: record) share[CKShare.SystemFieldKey.title] = "..." as CKRecordValue share.publicPermission = .none _ = try await db.modifyRecords(saving: [record, share], deleting: [], savePolicy: .allKeys, atomically: true) // FAILS User-visible symptom: UICloudSharingController shows "Cannot add people / Unable to create a link for sharing", and a Messages collaboration attachment spins forever, because no share URL is ever minted. Already ruled out iCloud sign-in - accountStatus() == .available immediately before the call. iCloud Keychain - enabled on both the iPhone and a Mac on the same account. Advanced Data Protection - OFF. Leftover/broken share - also fails when no record exists yet (brand new). UICloudSharingController - reproduced with a code path that never presents the controller and only performs the CloudKit save. Schema - the record type and every field we write are deployed to Production. Entitlements - com.apple.developer.icloud-services: (CloudKit), icloud-container-environment: Production, CKSharingSupported = true in Info.plist. Zone is a custom zone, not the default zone. Record and share are saved together, atomically, as documented. Possibly related Two recent threads report CKErrorServerRejectedRequest limited to the PRIVATE database in Production, starting around July 25: "iCloud Dashboard returns Internal Error when querying records across all containers" - the author reported on July 30 that the service had been down for a few days and had since recovered. "CloudKit CKQueryOperation returns CKErrorServerRejectedRequest" (FB24046201) - failures since July 25, error code 15, CKInternalErrorDomain Code=2000, HTTP 500. Those are read operations rather than a CKShare save, so they may be unrelated. Our failure still reproduces on July 31, after the other report says the incident was resolved. Note that developer System Status showed green throughout. Questions What does a BAD_REQUEST on _pcs_data during a CKShare save indicate? It appears to be the encryption key material for sharing rather than our own record. Is there an account-level or container-level condition that can block PCS key provisioning? Has anyone else seen CKShare creation (not query) failing in the same period? Any pointer would be appreciated - the client-side CKError carries no server error description, so the console log above is all we can see.

It has been approximately three weeks since we submitted our app for review via App Store Connect, but it remains "In Review" and the review process has not been completed. For this reason, we also requested an expedited app review to the App Review Team last week. Will the review proceed if we simply wait? Is there any way to check the detailed status of this app review?

The new Apple Maps 3D experience in iOS 27 beta has very cool 3D Gaussian Splat maps of a number of cities now. I would like to be able to include these views inside my native app using MKMapItem. Is there a way to enable this 3D view inside of these map views at the moment? Thanks!

Apple ID: 6790244829 Submitted: July 24, 2026 Current status: In Review (since submission, 9+ days) This is a version update (1.2) that introduces the AdMob SDK for the first time, along with updated App Privacy / IDFA labels and a rewarded ad flow. There are no messages in Resolution Center and no outstanding requests from the review team — nothing is pending on my side. I submitted an expedited review request and contacted support twice, with no response. Could someone from App Review please take a look and advise? Thank you.

growing up with apple now cu I was devolping a apps for studio record but erease for many reason first at all tracker on my deck so more secure with apple privacy and not google account

Hello Apple Developer Community, I am looking for guidance regarding an Apple Developer Program organization enrollment issue. I am enrolling as a Company / Organization for my US LLC. My organization has a valid D-U-N-S Number, and Apple Developer's D-U-N-S lookup successfully recognizes my company information. I also received confirmation from Apple Developer Relations that my D-U-N-S information can be used for organization enrollment. However, my organization enrollment was declined without a clear explanation. During the previous review process, there was also a technical issue with my company email server, and I may have missed some communication from Apple Developer Support. The email issue has now been resolved. I am the founder and authorized representative of the company, and I can provide any required company documents or verification information. Has anyone experienced a similar situation where: D-U-N-S verification was successful, company information matched, but organization enrollment was still declined? Any advice on how to request a proper manual review would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I paid 99 euros on the 29th morning and I am still pending. Is it normal?

iPhone 17, iOS 26.5.2 When I am watching videos on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube and receive a phone call, the video continues playing during the call instead of pausing automatically. It would be great if these apps could automatically pause playback when a phone call is answered.

No idea what's taking so long, hopefully an Apple employee can look into this - as it's killing my app to have to wait this long without updates. Submission ID: 7a48ca42-9fec-45f6-b9db-213774bb636f

Hello, My app update has been in “Waiting for Review” since July 29, 2026 and has never moved to “In Review.” There are no messages in the Resolution Center and no requests for additional information. Details: • App: Scrolly: Endless Games • Apple ID: 6790257500 • Platform: iOS • Version: 1.0.1 (update — 1.0 is live and was reviewed without issue) • Build: 4 • Submitted: July 29, 2026 • Current status: Waiting for Review This is an update to an existing, previously approved app. Agreements, Tax, and Banking are all active, and all version metadata, export compliance, and age rating information is complete. Nothing has changed on my side since submission. Could someone confirm whether the submission is proceeding normally or whether any action is required from me? Thank you and best regards, Eldar

Setup the target as follows: Architectures = Standard Architectures (Apple Silicon, Intel) Build Active Architecture Only = No When you display $ARCHS using the Run Script added at the end of Build Phases, you will see the following differences: from GUI(Xcode.app) ARCHS=arm64 from CUI(xcodebuild) ARCHS=arm64 x86_64 Even when built from the GUI, it should be the same as when built from the CUI.

In this news article there is no deadline . It's says the new social media questions must be answered if you submit a new binary. https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=tlur8uvi But on Appstore Connect there is a deadline for answering the new questions. It says 7 September 2026. i'm confused.

Hello everyone, I'm hoping someone has encountered this before because I've been stuck for several days. I'm enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual. I'm attempting to complete the tax and banking setup required for paid apps and in-app purchases. When I try to submit my tax information, I immediately receive an error stating that my Tax ID already exists. However, when I return to App Store Connect → Agreements, Tax, and Banking, there is no tax information listed. It appears as though nothing has been submitted, yet I'm prevented from entering it again. Because of this: I cannot complete the tax setup. My paid app and in-app purchases are effectively blocked. I cannot finish the App Store submission process. I've already tried: Logging out and back into App Store Connect. Trying multiple browsers. Waiting several days to see if the status updated. Contacting Apple Developer Support (I'm currently waiting for a response). Has anyone seen this specific error before? If so: Was this something only Apple could resolve? Was there a hidden or pending tax record somewhere? Is there anything else I can check on my end? I'd appreciate any insight. Right now it feels like my account is stuck in a state where the tax record both exists and doesn't exist at the same time. Thank you.

Team ID: XBX2Z359B8 (Organization, enrolled 2026-07-31) Our first three notarizations succeeded on 2026-07-31: 2c7aee73-5dd3-4971-bc01-fb5e6eb43ae7 19:30:42 UTC Accepted 8f6c46bf-09fb-4ef2-ba29-e93663cbfd54 20:32:26 UTC Accepted a644d9ad-4b18-4bf8-8139-ab193ea40e1e 20:37:44 UTC Accepted Every submission since has been stuck In Progress. None has reached Accepted or Invalid. Earliest stuck request — now over 26 hours: 787e2c7f-8637-48e6-a0c7-0f18c3fd1ce2 2026-07-31 22:40:38 UTC Also stuck: b2fe3ce3-a071-4b23-a261-938e2f58175c 2026-08-01 12:45:39 UTC 26a2d35f-04c5-4309-81c1-3ac042fb58d3 2026-08-01 12:54:47 UTC 66997bd8-2398-41cc-8c28-e11ca1015e4a 2026-08-01 14:48:12 UTC bd05b4bc-d601-44c7-b6ed-b530a674983c 2026-08-01 16:52:12 UTC 3a5611cb-3537-4352-9855-78bf8bb8e2f6 2026-08-01 21:49:20 UTC 844af3e7-0d1d-4326-8ffb-b1ad2b26f781 2026-08-02 00:45:40 UTC I have already contacted Apple Developer Program Support about this — case number 20000125886455, opened 2026-08-02 — and have not yet had a reply. Ruled out: Payload and size — a 16 KB Developer-ID-signed hello-world (844af3e7) hangs exactly like our 40 MB DMG. Artifact type — DMG and ZIP of the .app behave identically. Incomplete upload — submitted with --verbose; upload completes, submission ID returned, every status poll returns 200 "In Progress". Signing — notarytool log for a644d9ad returns "Accepted", "Ready for distribution", issues: []. Developer ID + Hardened Runtime + secure timestamp; codesign --verify --strict --deep passes. Account — membership Active, no pending agreements. 10 submissions total, well under the rate limit. System status shows Developer ID Notary Service as Operational. Since a previously working submission and a 16 KB hello-world now behave identically, this looks like a held request blocking the queue rather than anything in our artifacts. Could someone look into 787e2c7f-8637-48e6-a0c7-0f18c3fd1ce2 and release or cancel it so the queue can drain? This is blocking releases of our app to users and we would be grateful for any help in getting it moving.

After reading a lot of new and experienced developers post's, I am starting to see a backlog of apps in the queue. This is my first attempt at sending in an app so I would assume a longer review time, but not to have anyone even look at it for 10 days when they advertise 24-72 hours seems a bit much. I do see other people with the same issue, so right now it just seems like we are talking into the void. I would rather not submit an expedited review because it is my first submission, but is there any other route to take to talk to an apple review specialist? Thanks in advance.
