Overview

My app is stuck in the "waiting in review" stage for a 5 days. This is my first time experiencing the review taking this long without an approval or rejection. Did my review get stuck or lost or something? Is there anyway to get any clarity on this?

i've been struggling to get the SwiftUI instrument to work during the betas. It never produces any results on simulator, while on device it throws an error which prevents any results from other instruments from appearing. the error is: Failed to stop recording session: Data Providers emitted errors: Required I've tried on my iPad Pro 11-inch (M4) (iPadOS27 beta 3), and iPhone 17 Pro Max (iPadOS27 beta 2). And I get the same result running from my mac studio & MacBook air. Is this a known thing? cheers, Mike

I would appreciate some guidance about an iOS update that has remained in Waiting for Review for several days. App: AlphaOmega App Store ID: 6783182206 Version: 1.0.4 Build: 26 Waiting since: July 10, 2026 Build processed: July 11, 2026 This is an update to an existing app. An expedited review request was approved, but the submission has not yet moved to In Review. I also contacted Developer Support and was advised that the review is proceeding normally and no further action is needed. I understand that review times can vary. Could anyone please share whether this waiting period is within the normal range, or whether there is anything I should check in App Store Connect? I would also appreciate hearing from developers who have recently experienced similar delays. Thank you for your time.

I have been implementing a share extension for my app and have added the activation rule NSExtensionActivationSupportsImageWithMaxCount. While testing I've noticed that my app will appear in the Share Sheet as a viable target when the max count is exceeded by up to 2 additional photos. For example if I set max to 4 then my app will appear in the share sheet when the user is sharing 1-6 images. On its own this wouldn't be too problematic, I figured I could put some validation in the extension that specifies the user has exceeded the allowed number. But while debugging the extension under this scenario I noticed that the inputItems array on the NSExtensionContext will only contain the number of items I've defined as the max, and silently drop the extra items. I'm sure users will see this as a bug with my app "losing" the extra images since the OS/Share Sheet provides my app as a valid target. My entire Info.plist <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd"> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>NSExtensionAttributes</key> <dict> <key>NSExtensionActivationRule</key> <dict> <key>NSExtensionActivationSupportsWebURLWithMaxCount</key> <integer>1</integer> <key>NSExtensionActivationSupportsImageWithMaxCount</key> <integer>4</integer> </dict> </dict> <key>NSExtensionPointIdentifier</key> <string>com.apple.share-services</string> <key>NSExtensionPrincipalClass</key> <string>$(PRODUCT_MODULE_NAME).ShareViewController</string> </dict> </plist> Entire code implementation of the extension class ShareViewController: UIViewController { override func viewDidLoad() { super.viewDidLoad() if let extensionContext { debugPrint(extensionContext) } } } Edit: I've been testing on iOS 26.5 with a minimum deployment of iOS 26.0

I don't really know the terminology around this very well, but I was trying to test my Mac OS Catalyst app on Mac OS Sequoia, and the app kept crashing apparently due to MTL validation. I was trying to debug why using a menu (as in File, Edit, View, etc.) would crash. The stack looked roughly like this: 6 -[MTLDebugComputeCommandEncoder setBuffer:offset:attributeStride:atIndex:] MetalTools 5 _CF_forwarding_prep_0 CoreFoundation 4 ___forwarding___ CoreFoundation 3 -[NSObject doesNotRecognizeSelector:] CoreFoundation 2 objc_exception_throw libobjc.A.dylib 1 __cxa_throw b 0 _Unwind_RaiseException libunwind.dylib Both Claude and Gemini indicated that there was no flaw in my code, but rather that Xcode was responsible. Sure enough, unchecking the MTL validation checkbox in Xcode stopped the crash from happening.

I'm trying to run a MacOS shortcut using the "Run JavaScript on Active Safari Tab" action. I consistently get the error "Make sure that 'Allow JavaScript from Apple Events' is enabled in the Develop menu in Safari." The Develop menu in Safari does not contain this switch (in Tahoe 26.5.1), but if you go to Developer Settings... a dialog opens that includes the required switch. I've ensured that the switch is set on, but I continue to get the runtime error in the shortcut JavaScript. What am I missing?

Using rvictl with iOS 27 beta3 doesn't work anymore. RVICTL reports a successful creation of the remote virtual interface, but the interface rvi0 fails to spawn. rvictl -s Starting device [SUCCEEDED] with interface rvi0 rvictl -l Could not get list of devices iPhone 16 pro iOS 27 Beta3 macOS 27 Xcode 27 beta Confirmed that the command still works on iOS 26.6 on an iPhone 15 Pro.

Hello I'm trying to create a custom component but I can't see to make It work on the RCP3. The video 'Extend Reality Composer Pro 3 functionality with Xcode' makes it seem too simple but I can't seem to work following the steps.

All system colors are displayed incorrectly on the popover view. Those are the same views present as a popover in light and dark mode. And those are the same views present as modal. And there is also a problem that when the popover is presented, switching to dark/light mode will not change the appearance. That affected all system apps. The following screenshot is already in dark mode. All those problem are occured on iOS 26 beta 3.

I don’t even see the waitlist of the Apple Intelligence program, i think it’s lacking instruction’s how to apply, when it comes out etc.

I've filed this as FB23714849 too, but I'm running into an issue with the Toggle component when displayed in a toolbar and a more complex label is used. This worked fine in iOS 26. Minimal repro example + screenshot: struct ContentView: View { @State var toggleState1 = false @State var toggleState2 = false var body: some View { NavigationStack { Text("Hello, world!") .toolbar { // THIS ITEM (leading) WORKS AS EXPECTED ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarLeading) { Toggle("Working", systemImage: "heart", isOn: $toggleState2) } // THIS ITEM (trailing) DOES NOT TOGGLE AS EXPECTED // It always appears enabled even when it should not ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Toggle(isOn: $toggleState1) { Image(systemName: "star") } } } } } } My ultimate goal is to have a menu here where I can make the menu's label appear as a selected toggle (e.g. to display that one of a few filters is enabled). This is the case as of iOS Developer Beta 3 (and I believe the prior iOS 27 betas).

My device is Hong Kong version iPhone 16e with HK Apple ID. After updating to iOS 27 Beta 1, the "Apple Intelligence & Siri" menu is completely missing from Settings. Only the legacy "Siri" icon appears in that location. There is no option to join the "Try New Siri" waitlist, and none of the AI features are accessible. What I've tried (all failed): · Multiple reboots · Reset All Settings · Reset Location & Privacy · Toggling Siri language between English (US) and Traditional Chinese · Removing and re-adding keyboard languages Hardware eligibility: The device meets all requirements for Apple Intelligence (A17 Pro or later, 8GB RAM). The issue appears to be a system-level configuration loading bug that prevents the OS from recognizing the device as eligible, despite being a Hong Kong unit with a Hong Kong Apple ID. Feedback Assistant ID: FB23733608 Has anyone else with a non-US region device encountered this on iOS 27 Beta 1? Any temporary workaround would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise, I'll wait for Beta 2.

Hello i have paid developers account, setting up my app.. and when I open appstore Connect, I see white page with 1 header menu.. Why?

Has anyone successfully requested an OHTTP Relay for URL filtering and got it approved? I first applied for a relay about a month ago, and it was rejected in the first 24h, apparently the DNS TXT record doesn’t have to be setup at the apex domain but at the PIR subdomain (or at least that’s my assumption because Apple doesn’t tell you). After correction the issue and resubmitting the request I haven’t heard back, it’s been in review for many weeks already. Has anyone experienced this kind of delay or has anyone gotten the relay approved?

Heya! is there anyway to allow a user to open an accessibility setting from an iOS app? As currently you kinda have to explain how to enable it on your device and honestly thats kinda completely against how accessibility ux should work as it as it requires and expects a user to read+understand something they might as well can't because of accessibility issues in the first place and thus basically punishing a user for it. I tested this with some users and asking them to go trough 3-5 menu's with overwhelming settings is to complex and most give up, thus directing them would solve that problem.

Hi, we're seeing a panic when we SIGSTOP the logd pid. panic(cpu 2 caller 0xfffffe0020e9a364): userspace watchdog timeout: no successful checkins from logd (0 induced crashes) in 120 seconds You may ask "well why would you do that?" and the answer is that we're seeing panics from watchdog/logd when we hammer the diskIO for a download/write (APFS sparse file creation) operation in our software. Is it normal to see this?

Hi everyone, Looking for help or an Apple rep to weigh in. My app's build has been sitting in "Waiting for Review" for external TestFlight testing since July 10, with zero status change since. Details: App Name: notto App ID (Apple ID): 6789696484 Build: 7 (Version 1.0.0) Submitted for external review: July 10, 2026 Current status: Waiting for Review (unchanged) Support Case ID: 102940157377 (submitted via Contact Us, no substantive response yet) System Status page shows TestFlight and App Processing as fully Available — so this doesn't appear to be a broader outage I've contacted Developer Support once already but haven't gotten a resolution. If anyone from Apple can take a look at this case ID, or if other developers have suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I'm the developer of FOS Social (Apple ID: 6755471015), a creator-membership marketplace currently in TestFlight. I've submitted the Advanced Commerce API access request form twice and have not received any response, confirmation, or status update. My most recent submission has Request ID: UVQ7FUZVV3. Our use case: FOS Social is a social platform where viewers subscribe to individual content creators through independent auto-renewable monthly subscriptions across three tiers ($10 / $17 / $29). A single viewer must be able to hold concurrent active subscriptions to multiple creators at the same tier — for example, subscribed to Creator A at Gold and Creator B at Gold simultaneously. This matches Apple's stated eligibility model for the Advanced Commerce API: "exceptionally large catalogs of subscription content — apps that include frequently added content from multiple creators, where each creator's offering is merchandised as a single auto-renewable subscription." Why standard StoreKit doesn't work for us: We currently reuse one product ID per tier across all creators (e.g. com.fosssocial.creator.gold.monthly). When a viewer already subscribed to one creator at Gold tries to subscribe to a second creator at Gold, StoreKit returns "already subscribed" and treats it as a renewal rather than a new independent subscription. Pre-creating a separate subscription group per creator in App Store Connect is not feasible since our creator base is dynamic and growing. My questions: Is there any way to check the status of an Advanced Commerce API access request, or a typical response timeframe we should expect? Is there anything that commonly causes these requests to go unanswered (e.g. submission not made by the Account Holder, app still in TestFlight, missing information)? Is there a recommended escalation path when the request form has been submitted multiple times with no reply? I've also opened a support case (Case ID: 102934491974) but wanted to ask here as well in case anyone from the community or Apple has guidance. Thank you!

I have a launch event for my app this Sunday and it was rejected for something that was in the app already. I've been trying to get approved / deployed in the App Store for two weeks now. This is very important to me, most of the issues Apple flags are things that are already on my app just the reviewer didn't seem to catch, such as account deletion button flagged that I have within my settings already. Issues that Apple has flagged seem to be ones that I have already built in and have shared screen recordings showing where they are on the app and it working. I have done the hard work and am patiently waiting for approval onto the app store now. Would love to get this launched by Sunday at the latest! thanks

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a very frustrating issue with wireless CarPlay. I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max and I drive a 2023 BMW 420d Coupé equipped with iDrive 7. The audio frequently skips, lags, and drops out when streaming music. I've read some rumors that the upcoming iOS 27 update might finally address this bug. Since I know the public beta is currently out, has anyone testing the iOS 27 beta on a similar BMW setup noticed if this specific audio skipping issue is actually resolved? Thanks in advance for any feedback!
