Hi everyone, I’m having an ongoing issue where my app submissions seem to sit in Waiting for Review for unusually long periods before Apple starts reviewing them. My current submission has been stuck in Waiting for Review since June 6 at 12:56 PM. This is not the first time this has happened. I’ve had previous submissions also take much longer than expected to even move into review. I understand review times can vary, but it seems like my app is repeatedly getting delayed at the Waiting for Review stage rather than actually being reviewed. I have not received a rejection, message, metadata issue, or request for more information. The submission just stays in the queue. Has anyone else experienced repeated delays like this? Is there anything in App Store Connect that can cause an app to keep getting stuck before review starts, such as subscription review, metadata, screenshots, compliance questions, app category, or account-level issues? Would the best next step be to contact Apple Developer Support, submit an App Review inquiry, or request an expedited review? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have submitted an app for review and have been rejected for a 2.1b reference Issue. Any guidance how to resolve k have included the subscriptions and they are in a ready for review state.

Hey, so I’m in Germany and the new siri sign-up is not showing up for me on visionOS can someone tell me how to fix this?

5 days and still on waiting list for new siri ai. Tried every method on Google, safari , gemini each everything but still day 5 and on waiting list.

4 days and still waitlisted. I’m using an iPhone 16 Pro Max, one of the devices Apple heavily promoted for Apple Intelligence. As an early adopter, it’s disappointing to install the beta, take the risks, and still be unable to access the features after 4 days. What’s even more concerning is that the new Siri appears to have limitations, partly due to the device’s 8GB RAM, preventing users from fully experiencing the next generation of Apple Intelligence. I encourage Apple to continue optimizing and improving the new Siri so iPhone 16 Pro Max users can fully benefit from the Apple Intelligence experience that was promised and advertised. Early adopters should be able to take full advantage of the capabilities of their devices. #AppleIntelligence #Siri #iPhone16ProMax #iOS27 #AppleFeedback

"On an iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 27 Developer Beta 1, the system search index has remained stuck on 'Indexing in progress' for 29 hours following Siri app access approval at 3 PM yesterday. The local file system is unburdened—there are no complex media or custom font directories present, and third-party app assets are strictly isolated within standard sandboxed containers. This indicates that the Beta 1 indexing persistence is an architectural logic stall or an authentication validation loop triggered by the waitlist activation token, rather than a storage-volume bottleneck."

Hi everyone, I recently updated my Mac to macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta and have encountered a strange issue with window management over a remote connection. Issue: When connected to my Mac via Chrome Remote Desktop (CRD), I can no longer move application windows by dragging their title bars (outer frames). Details: Curiously, I can still drag and move individual tabs within apps (like Chrome or Terminal), which means mouse drag input itself is being transmitted correctly to the OS. This issue only happens when attempting to drag the window title bar/frame over a remote session. Local mouse/trackpad control works perfectly. Everything was working completely fine before the update to macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta. What I've tried so far (with no success): Toggled Accessibility permissions off and on for ChromeRemoteDesktopHost and restarted the Mac. Disallowed and re-allowed Screen Recording permissions. Completely re-installed the Chrome Remote Desktop host application. Disabled "Tile windows by dragging to screen edges" in System Settings to avoid snapping conflicts. It seems like WindowServer or the system-level window management is blocking or ignoring virtual mouse drag inputs specifically on title bars since this beta update. Has anyone else experienced this on macOS 27 Golden Gate Beta, or is there a known API change / security restriction in this version that affects remote input handling for WindowServer? Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello, I would like to cancel my pending Individual-to-Organization membership migration. My business is registered as a sole proprietorship (preduzetnik in Serbia), which I understand does not qualify as a legal entity for an Organization membership. I therefore wish to remain enrolled as an Individual. Please cancel the migration and restore full access to my Individual account, which is currently blocked in the transition state. I have an app live on the App Store (ReceiptStorm) and need to be able to submit updates. Thank you, Borislav

This idea is based on a few key points: GNU Coreutils has essentially become the de facto standard with the widespread adoption of GNU/Linux. Apple has been attracting modern developers by being 'Linux-like' (via POSIX-compliant), especially since Linux has largely won the race in the general-purpose Unix-like OS space. Adopting uutils would allow scripts to run much more seamlessly across macOS and Linux. uutils is compatible with GNU Coreutils, and its MIT license avoids the strict restrictions associated with GPLv3. By aligning base commands more closely with Linux, I think this would give macOS another compelling advantage over WSL2 for developers.

I started enrolling in the Apple Developer Program last Sunday. The confirmation email said I should receive a response within two business days, but it's now been five days and I still haven't heard back. Is this normal?

Hello everyone, I am currently running the macOS Golden Gate 27 Developer Beta and am experiencing an issue with external displays. I am only able to connect one external display successfully. Any additional external displays I try to plug in do not work or are not recognized by the system. Here are the details of my setup: Mac Model: 16-inch MacBook Pro (Apple M4 Pro, 24 GB Memory) macOS Version: macOS 27 Version 27.0 Beta (Build 26A5353q) Displays: Two LG UltraFine 5K Thunderbolt displays Connection Type: Connected directly using two separate Apple Thunderbolt 4 cables Troubleshooting steps already taken: Restarted the Mac Tested different cables and ports Verified both displays work individually (only fails when both are connected) Has anyone else encountered this issue on this specific beta build? If so, have you found any temporary workarounds? Side note: Feedback Assistant was not working for me. I tried it in the Web, and the native App, neither of them would work. I am posting here because there was nowhere else to submit this bug report.

Hello, I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I cannot complete the payment. During the purchase process, I receive the following error: We are unable to complete your order. There was an issue when we processed your order. An invalid value '1549' was provided for State, Province, or Region. My details: Country: Kosovo State/Province/Region: Kosovo Region (selected from the available option) I have verified my information multiple times, but the error appears every time. I have contacted Apple Developer Support multiple times over the past month.I have not received any response (positive or negative). I need to complete enrollment to publish my apps, and this delay is blocking my work.

I'm experimenting with Controls in IOS and trying to understand behavior. When a user taps a Control that triggers a shortcut, the shortcuts UI is presented before the action completes. Is there a supported way for a control to execute the shortcut entirely in the background without displaying the shortcuts app or UI? Unfortunately the commands are not available as intents. Or is there an alternative appintent to Run Shortcut with the URL? Lastly, does the user need to install the shortcut as well as the control or does the control "embed" both. Thanks.

Hello everyone, I have developed an app that is a local networking monitor app for a specific building automation protocol. I have searched the forum and I think I have found some older posts regarding this topic but I could not figure out if my issue falls under the same category. So my app allows the user to connect to local protocol devices, and start a monitor session where they can see incoming/outgoing packets. The connections are UDP or TCP and require opening a socket. Currently, backgrounding the app will make the OS terminate the socket connection, therefore ending the monitor, even if the app is backgrounded by user, to let's say, perform some other task in their phone. I have several requests from users to improve the app by allowing the monitor to continue while the app is backgrounded. However, by reading the relevant documents, I have found this to be almost impossible in iOS app. I have considered: Remote Push Notifications (APNs): The app operates on LAN so this is not an option, since I do not have an infrastructure to somehow send notifications to keep app process alive. Background Tasks (BGTaskScheduler): Not my case, since I do not want periodic execution. The app requires continuous socket listening. VoIP, VPN, or Audio Background Modes: My app does not fall under any of these categories, even though this would solve my situation. By searching around a bit more, I might be able to use either BGProcessingTask, which would allow my app at least to run for some minutes and show the user that they have to foreground it in order to not stop the monitor process, or maybe even App Intents framework. Has anyone faced similar requirement for their app? Any tip or point to a direction I should investigate more? Thanks, Nikos

Hello, I am requesting clarification from Apple engineers or or experienced developers regarding a potential App Store Connect review queue issue. Current status: App remains in “Waiting for Review” No transition to “In Review” at any point Timeline: Initial submission: May 28, 2026 Status has remained “Waiting for Review” since initial submission. Expedited review request: Approved by Apple Support but No visible change in App Store Connect status Support history: I have followed up multiple times (approximately 4 messages) through the same Apple Support case regarding this issue, but I have not yet received a response or clarification. Case reference: Case ID: 102907712466 At this point, I am trying to understand whether this behavior is expected or if there may be a queue assignment or processing issue preventing the submission from being picked up, even after expedited approval. Specifically: Is it normal for a submission to remain in “Waiting for Review” after expedited approval? Or could this indicate a processing or queue assignment issue in App Store Connect? Any clarification from Apple engineers or experienced developers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Why don't you answer me? Why don't you solve my problem? I want to escalate my request. Who should I contact to escalate the issue? You're not answering my questions. I am a law-abiding citizen, I have a huge amount of apple equipment, which I officially bought. I spend money on all subscriptions and am a long-time apple user. And you treat me so badly!!! I have a problem with enrollment process. i want to get a developer account and i can't do it more then 1 month. it is so badly experience.

i can't update macos27 beta, i tried every method i could, it didn't work, i don't know what topic i should choose, if it was wrong, forgive me, thank uuu!!!

First I would like to thank all the people who have been working hard to put on the group labs, they have been very informative. Maybe it should be considered to either have the group labs one week later so those who attend stuff in person can still have the opportunity to participate in the group labs, also it gives people time to explore the new stuff to formulate better questions. Also why not record the group labs, I am sure there are more people that could benefit from it later on either to review something they may not have completely got the first time, or because they missed for real life reasons. I know there are people with learning disabilities and may need the content to be slowed down or reviewable later. We all learn from all the questions people ask in the labs, let's make it more accessible to everyone! Also maybe have it so that the questions that didn't get answered in the group lab automatically get put into the forum and then get answered there. Also why are the Q&As not staying up after the time block even in a read only capacity. They aren't even listed on the developer activities list near where the group labs are listed.

I am not sure this is the best place for this but ... I've got an M1 iPad Pro, an M1 Max 2021 MacBook Pro and an iPhone 15 Pro Max all of which have the x27 operating systems installed since release on 8 June (9 June for me). It has be 48h or a bit more since the installs completed and both the iPhone (with 260GB of data and apps) and iPad (with about 200GB of data) are still indexing heavily and using power like crazy. The iPad has been on charge and WiFi for almost that entire time. Likewise, the Mac has been on and connected to WiFi for the whole time. All 3 devices say that Settings/Siri/New Siri has "Joined Waiting List". Everything I have seen online so far indicated that should take 1-2 hours or maybe 4 hours. I've tried turning Siri off for a while and then back on. I've tried changing the language and location of the device to English US/United States and the Siri language to English US but it has had no effect. I'm concerned the devices are stuck in a loop. Has anyone else had these issues so far and if so, how have you corrected them. Alternatively, should I assume this is normal (hasn't been for previous major betas) and leave them do their thing?

As I had mentioned earlier, I was facing two issues after the initial update, but I’m happy to inform you that both of those issues have now been resolved. However, after updating to iOS 26.0 (23A5297m), I’ve started experiencing a new issue related to overheating. Since yesterday, my iPhone has been getting extremely hot while charging. It also became very hot after clicking just a few photos. The same heating issue occurred again today during charging. This problem only started after the latest update. Kindly look into this issue and advise on how to resolve it.
