Hi everyone, I registered for the Apple Developer Program about a week ago and my status is still Pending. I’ve emailed Apple but haven’t received any response yet. Just wondering if others are experiencing the same thing recently, or if there’s another way to follow up. Thanks a lot!

Hi everyone, I am an iOS developer from Ecuador and I am writing to ask if there's any way to fix my issue. After some initial struggling with my phone number not being able to receive Apple verification messages, I was able to register an Apple ID and use that Apple ID to enroll into the Apple Developer Program. Currently, I am stuck at the step of paying the subscription fee. When I try to pay for the 99$ enrollment fee, I receive an "Order Acknowledgement" e-mail from Apple but the payment is never processed. I have tried with multiple debit cards: 2 times with my main crypto debit card emitted from a Hong Kong bank 1 time with a debit card emitted from a local Ecuadorian bank 1 time with a debit card emitted from a US bank In all these cases the result is the same: the same order acknowledgement e-mail but nothing more happens. I even tried asking the support via e-mail (the only method that is supported in my country), but no one replies. Does anyone have any tip on how to overcome this situation?

Hello, I am facing a critical technical blocker regarding the Family Controls (Screen Time API) entitlement for my app extensions. Current Situation: My parent app (com.hayashikento.FocusPact) is already approved for the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement. However, the associated DeviceActivityMonitorExtension (com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor) and ReportExtension (com.hayashikento.FocusPact.ReportExtension) are still pending entitlement approval. Technical Issue: Because the extensions lack the Distribution entitlement, ManagedSettings and DeviceActivity triggers (like intervalWillEndWarning) are ignored by the system when testing via TestFlight or in a non-development environment. As a result, I am unable to verify the core "automatic re-blocking" logic and "usage reporting" features in a real-world scenario. This has completely halted the final QA and TestFlight phase of my project. Requests: Could an Apple engineer verify if these extension IDs can be linked to my existing approved parent app entitlement? Is there a specific process to expedite the "linking" of extensions when the main app is already authorized? App Details: Parent App Bundle ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact Extension IDs: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor, com.hayashikento.FocusPact.ReportExtension Apple ID (App)6759132649 I have already submitted the web request forms, but the lack of synchronization between the parent app and extensions is preventing my MVP launch. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

‌Using Xcode 26, the built package encounters device compatibility issues — while it installs successfully on supported iPhone devices, but it crashes immediately upon launch and cannot run normally.‌‌In previous versions of Xcode, the same "minimum deployment" setting in the project did not cause such compatibility issues.‌ The app built with Xcode 26 shows the following behavior when installed and tested on various devices:‌ iPhone6p iOS12.5.8 fails to run 2.iPhone6 iOS11 fails to run 3.Iphone6 iOS12.5.7 fails to run 4.iPhone7 iOS12.1.3 ok 5.iPhoneX iOS 12.2 ok 6.iphone6s plus iOS10.3.1 ok 7.iphoneXS. iOS 12.1.4 ok 8.iPhone11 iOS 13.6.1 ok 9.iPhone7. iOS 13.7 ok We have tested and found that an iPhone 6s Plus running iOS 10.3.1 can normally run the app. We would like to know whether apps built with Xcode 26 are inherently incompatible with iPhone 6 and older devices. Has Xcode 26’s underlying build environment removed full support for the A8 chip, resulting in binary files containing instructions or memory models that older devices cannot parse? ‌Looking forward to your reply‌.

I purchased the Apple Developer Program on March 26, 2026. Payment went through immediately. I have the invoice (UA31019584), the order confirmation (W1318171870), and €99 charged to my card. Apple had no problem taking my money within seconds. Five days later: Account status: Pending Portal still says "Purchase your membership" and asks me to pay again App Store Connect: inaccessible TestFlight: inaccessible I contacted Apple Developer Support on day one — both by email and callback request. I now have three open cases and have received exactly zero responses: Case ID: 102856462218 — Program Purchase and Renewal Case ID: 102853916886 — Program Purchase and Renewal Case ID: 102853919455 — Program Enrolment Not a single acknowledgment. Not even an automated "we're looking into it." Nothing. My app is built and ready. I have testers waiting. I cannot distribute anything — not even through TestFlight — because Apple took my payment and then stopped responding. I see dozens of threads on this forum from developers with the exact same problem going back months. Paid memberships stuck on Pending, no activation, support completely unresponsive. This is not an isolated case — this is a systemic failure in the enrollment system that Apple has apparently chosen to ignore. I am based in the EU and I am fully prepared to pursue this through consumer protection channels if this is not resolved. You cannot charge someone for a service and then refuse to provide it or even respond to inquiries. For the world's biggest tech company that is built on software, this is practically a joke. I don't remember the last time seeing an issue like this from any other company in my whole life living on this planet. New developers practically cannot join and publish apps on Apple anymore. But if you are happy to pay, they will let you. And after payment, they will put a notice at the top reminding you to 'complete your purchase' and pay again. Is this really Apple or has this company been hijacked by some retard?

I added a workflow and it seemed to work fine so lets add them all ! I added a second workflow and it seems to see the repository but not the branches in the repository. I have googled and even asked AI. Checked and it's installed with all repo access on Github Removing the repo .. adding it back Deleting the workflow and adding it back Adding the workflow from the browser Adding the workflow from XCode Nothing seems to work, but the first one I created works. Is there paid support for Xcode Cloud ? I s there a version control that works better with Xcode Cloud? Any suggestions are appreciated.

When opening a project or workspace in Xcode 26.4 the most recently active scheme is not restored. Instead, the scheme reverts to the first scheme in the list. I've tried opening and closing Xcode a few times, and removing the user data for a workspace. No luck. Any suggestions or workarounds?

Each time I launch a Debug version of the app on iOS Simulator, I see the Launch Screen presented and then about a 30-second delay before the app is responsive and debug output appears in the console panel. Filed FB22345091

I’m blocked debugging a watchOS app on a physical Apple Watch. The iPhone connects to Xcode normally (wired), but the Watch either fails to connect with a tunnel timeout or disappears entirely from Xcode after I unpaired it inside Devices & Simulators. Environment Mac: macOS 26.x (Apple Silicon Mac) Xcode: 26.2 iPhone: iOS 26.1 Apple Watch Ultra: watchOS 26.2 (build 23S303) Connection: iPhone connected to Mac via USB (trusted). Watch paired to iPhone and working normally in the Watch app. Issue A (when Watch is visible in Xcode) In Xcode → Window → Devices and Simulators, the Watch shows up but is not usable and fails to connect. Error: “Previous preparation error: A connection to this device could not be established.” “Timed out while attempting to establish tunnel using negotiated network parameters.” In some attempts the Watch shows “Capacity: Unknown” / limited details, and then fails during preparation. Issue B (after unpairing Watch in Xcode only) I unpaired/removed the Watch in Xcode (Devices & Simulators). I did not unpair the Watch from the iPhone. Now: iPhone appears in Xcode and works normally for builds. Watch is still paired to the iPhone and works normally. Watch no longer appears anywhere in Xcode Devices & Simulators (no paired watch section, no watch run destination). What I’ve tried Reboots of Mac, iPhone, Watch (multiple times) Watch unlocked, awake; iPhone unlocked and close to Watch Verified Watch is paired and connected in iPhone Watch app Developer Mode enabled on iPhone and Watch Wi-Fi and Bluetooth ON (Mac/iPhone/Watch), tried toggling both Tried on home Wi-Fi and also with iPhone hotspot (same result) Resetting trust prompts / reconnecting iPhone via USB, re-trusting Mac Apple Watch: “Clear Trusted Computers” Xcode: removing/re-adding devices; clearing derived data; restarting Xcode Watch Developer networking test: Responsiveness = Medium (430 RPM) Questions 1. Is this a known issue/regression with Xcode 26.2 + watchOS 26.2 tunneling (CoreDevice / devicectl)? 2. Is there an Apple-supported way to force Xcode to re-discover a paired Watch after it was removed from Xcode Devices & Simulators (without unpairing the Watch from the iPhone)? 3. Any recommended logs or diagnostic steps I should collect (Console logs, sysdiagnose, specific Xcode/CoreDevice logs) to include in a Feedback report? If helpful, I can provide the full error text from Xcode’s Devices window and any logs you recommend. Thank you in advance,

Im working on my laptop with Mac OS 15.7.5 and Im using Xcode 26.0.1 and Im trying to simulate the code I've written. It only allows me to simulate on iPhone 16e but it never finishes loading, I also tried using my personal iPhone as a simulator but that doesn't work either. Could it possibly be my storage on why the simulators don't work?

As a result I am unable to proceed with installing Homebrew from CLI or downloaded pkg

I am developing a productivity app called "FocusPact" using the Screen Time API (Family Controls). Current Status: The parent app bundle ID (com.hayashikento.FocusPact) has already been approved for the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement. I have recently submitted a new request for the DeviceActivityMonitorExtension bundle ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor. The Issue: Currently, the extension only works while debugging with Xcode (Development entitlement). When the device is disconnected, the intervalWillEndWarning and intervalDidEnd triggers are ignored by the system because the Extension ID lacks the Distribution entitlement. This is a critical blocker for my MVP testing phase on TestFlight, as I cannot verify the core "automatic re-blocking" logic in a real-world environment. Request: Could any Apple staff or engineers help expedite the linking of this extension ID to my existing approved entitlement? Parent App ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact Extension ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor I would greatly appreciate any guidance or assistance to resolve this so I can proceed with user testing. Thank you.

I'm pretty sure a lot of people had this issue already, I just can't find a concise reply with what I should do. I'm trying to enroll to the developer program, I live in an EU country. It requires me to enter my Driver's License, I also tried my official document as per online recommendation, but it didn't work. I'm legal here, but not a citizen or EU passport holder. I don't know what to do as this is my only official address.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some advice or assistance regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. I completed my purchase and paid the $99 fee back on March 5th. Today is March 23rd, and my account is still not activated. It has been 18 days of total silence. I have already sent multiple follow-up emails to Apple Support, but I haven't received a single response. My payment was successfully processed, but I haven't received any confirmation or activation emails since then. Here are my transaction details: Invoice Number: MC55225030 Web Order Number: D009495884 Sales Order Number: AEU2369279 Has anyone else experienced such a long delay recently? Is there any other way to escalate this issue besides the standard contact form? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Device Details: MBP M2 Pro AND MBP M3 Pro macOS 26.3 (25D125) Xcode Version 26.3, 26.2, 26.1 (I reinstalled all 3 of these after the macOS update) BUG: Xcode hangs indefinitely when performing Source Control operations (Pull or Push) on a Git repository that uses SSH authentication. The same repository works correctly when performing the equivalent Git operations from the Terminal using the Git CLI. The issue appears to be specific to Xcode’s internal Source Control integration. When the operation is triggered from Xcode, the UI shows a spinning progress indicator and never completes. Terminal Git commands (git fetch, git pull, git push) complete normally using the same SSH key and repository. A hang sample taken during the issue shows the Xcode main thread blocked in Source Control authentication and fingerprint handling code paths, including: IDESourceControlUIHandler IDESourceControlFingerprintManager handleAuthenticationFailure showFingerprintAlertOnWindow This suggests Xcode may be waiting on a Source Control authentication or host fingerprint UI flow that never resolves. SSH connectivity itself is functioning correctly: ssh -T git@bitbucket.org and ssh -T git@github.com both authenticate successfully. git ls-remote, git fetch, git pull, and git push all work correctly from Terminal. No Source Control accounts are configured in Xcode Preferences. Authentication relies entirely on SSH keys. Steps to Reproduce Configure an SSH key for Git access (e.g., Bitbucket or GitHub) and confirm it works via Terminal. Clone or open an existing Git repository that uses SSH (git@host:repo.git). Open the project/workspace in Xcode. In Xcode, attempt a Source Control operation such as: Source Control → Pull Source Control → Push Observe that Xcode displays a spinning progress indicator and does not complete the operation.

I recently released version 8.5.4 (build 188) using Cloud Build. During testing via TestFlight, the app worked correctly on an iPhone 6 running iOS 12.5.8. However, after the app was published on the App Store, I found that the same version does not open at all on iOS 12 devices. Previously, earlier versions (such as 8.5.3) were functioning properly on iOS 12. My app’s minimum deployment target is set to iOS 12.0. This issue appears only with the App Store version, while the TestFlight version works fine on the same device. Due to this, I have paused the phased release of version 8.5.4 to prevent further impact on users still running iOS 12. I would like guidance on the following: 1. Has there been any recent change or limitation affecting apps targeting iOS 12 on the App Store? 2. Is there a way to prevent iOS 12 users from downloading version 8.5.4 while allowing them to continue using version 8.5.3? 3. Is there any recommended approach to ensure compatibility or restrict distribution based on iOS version? If I had known this issue in advance, I would have adjusted the deployment target accordingly before release. Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am attempting to setup Xcode Cloud for my project. The repository for the project is in Azure Devops. When I look on the internet, I get the answer: Go to AppstoreConnect, your app, Xcode Cloud and configure the repo. However, in my version of Xcode I am immediately sent back to Xcode to configure it. When looking in this forum, I see some old Posts from 2022 and 2024 without any answer. I assume I need to pick 'Github Enterprise' as the GIT provider. If I do, It attempts to connect to devops.azure.com, which sounds about right. But then I get a permission error. I would like to configure Xcode Cloud to access Azure Devops using one of the PATs that I have configured. Has anybody been able to Mae this work? Or should I make a Mirror Repo in Github (ir BitBucket or Gitlab) and let Apple connect to that? Kind regards Wouter
