I'm trying to get Apple's new Bluetooth Channel Sounding distance measurement working between an iPhone running iOS 27 Beta and a Nordic nRF54L15-based board. The CS procedures appear to execute successfully over the air (Mode 0 + Mode 2 with Inline PCT), but the iOS sample app consistently returns 0 distance readings and occasionally throws Channel Sounding configuration failed. What specific validation does iOS 27 apply to CS results before surfacing them ? Are there known compatibility requirements for Nordic nRF54L15 with iOS Channel Sounding? (Nordic has indicated they're working on official support but have no timeline) Is there a publicly available hardware and/or firmware platform already available we can use to test?

I have been trying to submit my first app (Nila, a health app) since late May and have been rejected repeatedly because I can't attach my in-app subscriptions to my submission. The "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section simply doesn't appear on my version page. The page goes directly from iMessage App → Build with nothing in between. I have: Pushed 28+ builds Tried multiple browsers and hard refreshes Opened 3 support cases. Spent 6+ hours on hold with "Support". Replied to every rejection explaining the bug. Both subscriptions are fully configured with all metadata. The section to attach them just doesn't exist on my page. Has anyone encountered this? Is there a fix?

Since weeks I am waiting for my enrollment. I Receive E-Mails telling me "To complete your enrollment, please agree to the terms of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement . " When I click that Link (https://developer.apple.com/enroll/status/) there is not button, checkbox or link to agree to the terms. I do have an Enrollment ID: ZW------- which is written there Has anybody an idea where I should go to do that? HELP, my time is running out

I built an advanced app clip experience, associated it to a location, and its MATCHED. The status is marked (green) RECEIVED. However, I am unable to see the invocation on Maps. I don't see the buttons such as SUPPORT/ORDER shown for that place. The docs does not explain why. What is the exact requirement for us to surface buttons for POI? We are authorized by the businesses to add these for them. I'd love to hear in detail the exact process to add buttons for POI - how Uber Eats and Door Dash does it for restaurants and how their app clips get shown. Thank you.

I'm building a cross-device parental-control app: separate child and parent devices in the same Family Sharing group. I want to show the child's per-app (and per-category) Screen Time usage on the parent device. After extensive testing I can only get the child's total minutes across, and I'd like to confirm the supported architecture before building further on a path the framework may intentionally forbid. Authorization / setup Child device: AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .child) — approved. Confirmed authorized: my app appears under Settings → Screen Time on the child, and the child's own DeviceActivityReport(users: .all) renders full per-app data. Parent device: separate device in the same family. Targets: main app + DeviceActivityReport extension + DeviceActivityMonitor extension, all with com.apple.developer.family-controls and a shared App Group. Physical devices, iOS 26.4.1. Xcode ⟦version⟧. What works: only the child's total minutes reach the parent — and only via my own relay: a DeviceActivityMonitor extension on the child writes aggregate totals to the App Group, the host app syncs them through CloudKit. No Screen Time API itself delivers the child's app/category breakdown to the parent. ⸻ Finding 1 — the report extension computes correct per-app data but cannot export it. On the child, makeConfiguration(representing:) iterates the results and produces correct per-app durations: LumicoActivityReport makeConfiguration done — 1 activityData, 1 segments, 5 apps, 17 min total Writing those aggregates to the shared App Group from inside the extension is then denied by the sandbox: Couldn't write values for keys ("screen_time_per_app_json") in CFPrefsPlistSource (Domain: group.servusjon.Lumico.shared …): setting preferences outside an application's container requires user-preference-write or file-write-data sandbox access (UserDefaults.set doesn't throw — the write silently no-ops; only this CFPrefs log reveals the denial.) Q1: Is there any supported way to surface aggregated, non-identifying per-app usage (app name + minutes + category) computed inside the DeviceActivityReport extension to the host app, given that App Group writes from the extension are denied? Or is the DeviceActivityMonitor extension (threshold events) the only supported way to get any usage signal out of the Screen Time sandbox? Finding 2 — on the parent, users: .children shows the parent's OWN data. On the parent I embed DeviceActivityReport(_:filter:) with DeviceActivityFilter(users: .children, …). The report renders, but shows the parent's own apps/categories — no child data. FamilyActivityPicker on the parent behaves the same (lists the parent's own apps). The identical code on the child (users: .all) returns the child's full data — so the pipeline works; only the cross-device delivery to the parent fails. Q2: What is required for DeviceActivityReport(users: .children) to deliver a child's activity to a third-party app on the parent device? Must the parent app hold a specific FamilyControls authorization (which FamilyControlsMember)? What conditions make FamilyActivityPicker surface a child's apps (not just categories) from the family on the parent device — authorization type, Family Sharing roles, child managed status, sync timing? ⸻ Already ruled out: physical devices (not Simulator); Screen Time data present on the child; extension correctly embedded (ExtensionKit com.apple.deviceactivityui.report-extension) and running makeConfiguration normally; family-controls + App Group present on app and both extensions; iCloud container named conventionally iCloud.. Core question: What is the supported architecture for showing a child's per-app usage on a parent's device in a third-party app? I want to build on the sanctioned path rather than a workaround. Thanks!

We have six Advanced App Clip Experiences configured for our production app, each mapped to a different path under a single domain, each with its own title and image. When a user without the full app installed receives one of these links in Messages, iOS always presents the default App Clip card -- never the matching advanced experience card. The same URLs resolve the correct advanced card in Safari. What we've already verified (so this isn't a basic setup problem): Opening the exact same URL in Safari shows the correct advanced card, including the expected per-path title. A Local Experience (Settings → Developer → App Clips Testing) for the same path + bundle ID validates and launches the correct flow. Associated Domains validation is green in Settings. The AASA at app-site-association.cdn-apple.com contains the appclips component with our App Clip bundle ID, and the applinks components include all six paths. In App Store Connect, all six Advanced App Clip Experiences show "Received" with successful domain validation, and the app + App Clip are live in the App Store. Reproduced on multiple devices on iOS [version], none with the full app installed. Messages does show a card — it's just always the default card. Our questions: Is per-path Advanced App Clip Experience card selection supported in the Messages link bubble at all -- or is Messages documented to always present the default experience metadata regardless of which advanced-experience URL is shared? Apple's App Store Connect help states the default metadata is used "in the app clip link bubble in Messages," which suggests this may be by design -- can someone confirm? If advanced cards in Messages are supported, what conditions cause Messages (but not Safari) to fall back to the default card for the same URL? Does "Received" status indicate an advanced experience is fully live, or is there a later state that confirms Messages rollout? If Messages is expected to always show the default card, we'll plan around that -- we just want a definitive answer rather than continuing to chase a configuration cause. Thanks!

We noticed that in older OS versions the accessory picker would consistently display a peripheral's advertised friendly name on top of displaying information from the matching display item. While in newer OS versions we would mostly only see the name from the display item. Is there a way to configure this?

Hello Apple Developer Support, After updating my iPad to iPadOS Beta 27, the Notes+ app has started crashing frequently. This issue did not happen before the system update. The app often crashes when I open notes, edit content, or try to use files inside Notes+. Another serious issue is that I cannot properly download or import files from iCloud Drive into Notes+. When I try to select a file from iCloud Drive and add it to Notes+, the process may fail, freeze, or cause Notes+ to crash. This has made Notes+ very difficult to use on iPadOS Beta 27. I rely on Notes+ for study notes, file organization, and daily productivity, so this problem has a big impact on my normal use. Steps to reproduce: 1.Use an iPad running iPadOS Beta 27. Open the Notes+ app. 2.Open or edit an existing note. 3.Try to import or attach a file from iCloud Drive. 4.Notes+ may freeze, fail to import the file, or crash. Expected result: Notes+ should run normally, and files from iCloud Drive should be imported into Notes+ successfully. Actual result: Notes+ crashes frequently, and iCloud Drive files cannot be imported reliably. This issue started after updating to iPadOS Beta 27. Please check the compatibility between iPadOS Beta 27, Notes+, and iCloud Drive file importing. Thank you.

Hi Apple Developer Support / WeatherKit team, I’m seeing WeatherKit fail on a physical iPhone with what appears to be a JWT / permission issue, even though the app appears to be correctly configured and signed with the WeatherKit entitlement. App / project context: App name: Signals Platform: iOS Framework: SwiftUI WeatherKit usage: Native WeatherKit framework, using WeatherService.shared.weather(for:) Purpose: Showing a small morning weather summary inside the app What I have already verified: Active Apple Developer Program membership WeatherKit capability enabled for the App ID in Apple Developer Portal WeatherKit capability enabled in the App Capabilities tab WeatherKit capability added in Xcode Signing & Capabilities Automatic signing enabled Built and tested on a physical iPhone device Location permission is requested and granted The app binary appears to include the WeatherKit entitlement The embedded provisioning profile appears to include the WeatherKit entitlement Issue: WeatherKit still fails at runtime with a JWT / permission-related error. Could you please help verify whether: The WeatherKit entitlement is correctly attached to my App ID and provisioning profile My Team ID / App ID has WeatherKit access fully enabled on Apple’s backend There are any backend propagation delays or stuck entitlement states WeatherDaemon has permission to generate JWTs for this app There is anything else I need to reset or regenerate, such as provisioning profiles, certificates, or App ID capabilities I can provide: Team ID Bundle ID provisioning profile UUID entitlement output from codesign device logs / WeatherKit error logs screenshots of App ID capability settings Thank you.

The documentation specifies that when Contacts framework returns unified contacts that each fetched unified contact object (CNContact) has its own unique identifier that’s different from any individual contact’s identifier in the set of linked contacts and that when refetching a unified contact, that this identifier should be used. There is also an analogous identifier within the list of contactRelations, but each of these don't seem to corespondent to the unified contacts. For example, is a new contact (Sheryl Zakroff) is created in the simulator Contacts and their spouse is set to Hank Zakroff. However, the GUID created for the contactRelations identifier does not correlate to the original Hank Zakroff GUID and cannot be searched. Is this a bug or what is the indent of the contactRelations identifier? Here's a debug output of walking the unifiedContacts: Name: Hank Zakroff 2E73EE73-C03F-4D5F-B1E8-44E85A70F170 - Other : (555) 766-4823 - Other : (707) 555-1854 Name: David Taylor E94CD15C-7964-4A9B-8AC4-10D7CFB791FD - Other : 555-610-6679 Name: Sheryl Zakroff DE783BC8-7917-4138-93F6-3AF0FD4CE083 - Other : (707) 555-1854 - Spouse: <CNContactRelation: 0x60000000dd60: name=Hank M.

WeatherService fails on every request with: WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" hourly forecast fetch failed: … Code=2 I've verified the entire setup and the error persists, which points to the App ID's WeatherKit token generation not being provisioned on Apple's backend: Team ID: 2LWCLD2636 Bundle ID: com.hoagiecorps.poppit WeatherKit capability and App Service both enabled on the App ID. com.apple.developer.weatherkit entitlement present in the signed binary and the embedded provisioning profile (verified via codesign -d --entitlements). A TestFlight build carrying the entitlement has been processed (VALID). Location authorized (When-In-Use); valid coordinates are obtained — the failure is purely the JWT auth step. Tried: device reboot, VPN off, iCloud Private Relay off, cycling the WeatherKit capability off/on plus regenerating the profile and clean rebuild, and waiting several days. Physical device, iOS 26. Could someone from the WeatherKit team please check the status for Team 2LWCLD2636, Bundle ID com.hoagiecorps.poppit, and enable WeatherKit token generation for this App ID? It looks like a backend entitlement sync is needed. Thanks!

Hi! Sms reporting is no longer available in iOS beta 26 builds. I can set my app as the SMS/Call Reporting Extensions but the report button is missing for sms messages in the messages app. Xcode 26 beta 7 build the app without errors. This is a breaking change. Same extension was previously broken for calls but has been fixed in beta 7 build, as reported here. It is however still missing for sms messages in the messages app (beta 9 build).

I started the enrollment process for the Apple Developer Program. The enrollment flow no longer shows the initial form and always redirects me to the Individual/Organization selection screen. After selecting either option, I consistently receive the error “We are unable to process your request. An unknown error occurred.” This issue has persisted for more than 72 hours. Could you please help me

We have a published, approved App Clip that works correctly via QR code and the Safari Smart App Banner, but URL-based invocation does not trigger the App Clip card in any context. Most notably, Apple's own default App Clip URL does not work either: https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=hazel-torus.Clip **Tapping this link in Messages or Notes does nothing. ** Long-pressing it shows a generic website link preview rather than the App Clip card, even though appclip.apple.com is Apple's domain and requires no configuration on our end. Setup details: App Clip bundle ID: hazel-torus.Clip Team ID: 2UNR2APH47 App Clip experience URL: https://passportreader.app/open AASA includes a correctly formatted appclips key with 2UNR2APH47.hazel-torus.Clip (confirmed via https://app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1/passportreader.app that AASA is correctly cached) Associated Domains entitlements (appclips:passportreader.app) are present on the App Clip target App and App Clip experience are both Approved / Ready for Sale Tested on two physical devices, neither with the full app installed Since QR and Safari banner invocation work, the App Clip itself and its entitlements appear correctly configured. The fact that even Apple's own appclip.apple.com URL fails, and is treated as an arbitrary website link, suggests this may be a backend indexing issue specific to this App Clip rather than a client-side configuration problem. Has anyone else encountered this, or know what could cause appclip.apple.com to not be recognized as an App Clip URL?

I am experiencing random Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disconnections while using iOS 27. Both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth disconnect unexpectedly, then reconnect automatically a few seconds later. I have seen many similar reports on Reddit, so this does not seem to be an isolated issue. I have already submitted a report through Feedback Assistant with the feedback ID FB23121586. I hope this issue can be fixed soon, because it is really stressful when playing online games on my iPhone and worrying that the connection might suddenly drop. :(

I don't see upload option for the App Store connect, can only export .ipa. Also having issues with Transporter, pasting error message here. Could not create a temporary .itmsp package for the app "Redacted.ipa". Unable to determine app platform for 'Undefined' software type. Is anyone else facing the same issue? I am using Xcode 15.

When transferring photos from my iphone 16 Pro Max running the IOS 27 Developer Beta to a Windows 11 PC via a USB-C cable the photos convert to AAE files, which you can't preview of view.

I have a question regarding parental control features within a region with age assurance regulations. The DeclaredAgeRange docs here suggests that age range can be "set" by the user or their parent or guardian: Check the ageRangeDeclaration to understand how the person or their parent or guardian set their age range. The declaration method indicates whether the age was self-declared, guardian-declared, or verified using a payment method, government ID, or another method. Based on this, I'm assuming the parent has the ability to override the user's real age (ex: 13 year old set to 18+?). Is that a correct assumption? Or do users that belong into a regulated region always return their true age for the purposes of Texas SB2420?

Hello! Our app includes a calling feature for some users, and we would like to promote to those users that they can set our app as their default calling app. If there is no way to check this state, then the risk is that we may repeatedly prompt users to enable something they have already enabled. There also doesn't appear to be a way to set the default calling app programmatically, and that the best we can do may be to direct the user to the default app section in Settings. For our app, the calling capability is only applicable to some users. For users who are not eligible to place calls, we would prefer that they not be able to set our app as the default calling app at all. Otherwise, iOS may route calling actions to our app. So my questions are: Is there any supported API or other mechanism to determine whether the user has set our app as their default calling app? Is there any supported way to enable, disable, or hide default calling app eligibility programmatically? My current understanding is that neither of these is possible, but I would appreciate confirmation or any recommended workaround. Thanks.

Hello, I updated my Apple Watch SE 3 (GPS + Cellular, 44 mm) to watchOS 27 Developer Beta (Build 24R5289n) and noticed what appears to be a change in the Digital Crown behavior. After the update: • A single press of the Digital Crown now shows fewer applications, which seems consistent with the changes announced for watchOS 27. • However, a double press of the Digital Crown no longer opens the App Switcher as it did previously. • As a result, I can no longer access the interface that allowed users to view recent apps and force-close applications by swiping them away. Before updating, double-pressing the Digital Crown opened the App Switcher and provided a way to close running apps. That functionality now appears to be missing. I would like to know whether: This is an intentional design change in watchOS 27. This is a known issue in the current Developer Beta. There is a new gesture or workflow for accessing recent apps and force-closing applications. Device: Apple Watch SE 3 (GPS + Cellular) 44 mm Aluminum Model: MEPJ4LW/A Software: watchOS 27.0 Developer Beta Build: 24R5289n The behavior is reproducible after restarting the watch. Thanks.
