Overview

I haven't been able to find the exact name for this. In iOS 26, there's a widget called "New Reminder" in Reminders app among the Control Center widgets(Action Button also). In the Shortcuts app, name is “Show quick reminder.” It doesn't seem to be either the input window that appears when requesting parameters or the snippet view. Is it possible to implement the sheet that appears after tap this widget button? I've looked through the relevant documentation and WWDC videos but haven't found anything.

We had "Today widgets" that worked perfect for a long time. After introducing the new Widgets Extension we added a Widgets Bundle to our app. Now after every app update the old widgets disappear from "Today view" and can be bring back ONLY by rebooting the iPhone. Sometime when they disappear, in today view appears the first widget from the Widgets Bundle. I've tested other apps too and it happens every time to apps that support old and new widgets (Xiaomi Home app for example). Does anyone have a clue how to fix that?

Hello everyone I'm implementing age verification in my app to comply with upcoming age assurance laws (Utah, etc.), and I'm using AppStore.ageRatingCode from StoreKit to retrieve my app's current age rating. According to the documentation: extension AppStore { @available(iOS 26.2, macOS 26.2, tvOS 26.2, watchOS 26.2, *) public static var ageRatingCode: Int? { get async } } "Use this property to fetch the age rating for your app and compare it with the last known age rating to check if it has changed." However, calling this always returns 0 in my environment. Environment: Device: Real physical device (not simulator) iOS version: 26.4 Sandbox Apple Account: signed in via Settings → Developer → Sandbox Apple Account App Store Connect: app is registered and age rating is configured Xcode Scheme → Run → Options → StoreKit Configuration: None Code: func getAgeRatingCode() async -> Int? { guard let ageRatingCode = await AppStore.ageRatingCode else { print("Age rating code unavailable") return nil } print("ageRatingCode: \(ageRatingCode)") // always prints 0 return ageRatingCode } Questions: What integer values does ageRatingCode map to? (e.g., does 4+ = 4, 9+ = 9, 13+ = 13, etc.? Or is it a different internal code?) This mapping is not documented anywhere I can find. Is 0 a valid return value, and if so, what does it represent? Is there a known issue with this API returning 0 even when all conditions appear to be correctly configured? Any guidance from Apple engineers or developers who have successfully used this API would be greatly appreciated.

I've been working on an app. It uses iCloud syncing. 48 hours ago everything was working 100%. Make a change on the iPhone it immediately changed on the Mac. Change on the Mac, it immediately changed on the iPhone. I didn't work on it yesterday. I updated to iOS26.4 on the iPhone and 26.4 on the Mac yesterday instead. Today, I pull up the project again. I made NO changes to the code or settings. Make a change on the iPhone it immediately updates on the Mac. Make a change on the Mac, nothing happens on the iPhone. I've waited an hour, and the change never happens. If you leave the iPhone app, then return, it updates as it should. It appears that iCloud's silent notification is to being received by the iPhone. Anyone else having the issue? Is there something new with iOS 26.4 that needs to be adjusted to get this to work? Again, works flawlessly with the Mac, just not with the iPhone.

Hi Everyone, We're experiencing a persistent issue where Apple's CDN returns SWCERR00301 Timeout for some of our associated domains, while other domains hosted on the exact same server work perfectly. Note: Using aliases below for privacy. "working.example.com" and "failing.example.com" are not our actual domains. The Problem Our app has multiple associated domains. When checking Apple's CDN: Working domain: $ curl -sD - "https://app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1/www.working.example.com" -o /dev/null HTTP/1.1 200 OK Apple-Origin-Format: json Cache-Control: max-age=21600,public Failing domain (same server, same IP, same AASA content): $ curl -sD - "https://app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1/www.failing.example.com" -o /dev/null HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found Apple-Failure-Reason: SWCERR00301 Timeout Apple-Failure-Details: {"cause":"context deadline exceeded (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)"} Apple-Try-Direct: true Cache-Control: max-age=3600,public On device, swcutil dl -d www.failing.example.com returns SWCErrorDomain error 7, confirming the CDN has no valid cache. What We've Verified Both domains are hosted on the same server (same IP) and serve identical AASA files: HTTP 200, Content-Type: application/json, 229 bytes Valid JSON with correct appID Valid SSL certificates (Amazon RSA 2048), no redirects Both registered in the app's Associated Domains entitlement Response time < 500ms from multiple locations We simulated Apple's crawler locally: $ curl -H "User-Agent: com.apple.swcd (unknown version) CFNetwork/1568.200.51 Darwin/24.1.0" --connect-timeout 5 --max-time 5 -4 --tls-max 1.2 "https://www.failing.example.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association" Result: 200 OK, 0.25s — well within the 5-second limit. We cannot reproduce the timeout from any network we've tested. Scope Out of 43 associated domains, 5 return 404 (Timeout) on Apple CDN while the other 38 work fine. All 43 domains serve valid AASA files from the same server infrastructure. What We've Tried Verified AASA content, headers, SSL, and response times for all domains Submitted new TestFlight builds to trigger re-crawl — timeout persists The failing CDN cache (max-age=3600) expires every hour, but Apple's crawler keeps timing out on retry No WAF or rate-limiting rules that would block Apple IPs (17.0.0.0/8) Impact The failing domain is our primary email campaign domain. Universal Links not working means newsletter links open in the browser instead of the app, affecting millions of email recipients daily. Questions Is there a way to request Apple's CDN to refresh/invalidate the cache for specific domains? Could the Apple crawler be experiencing connectivity issues to our server (AWS us-west-2) for specific SNI hostnames? We have 43 associated domains — could the volume affect crawl reliability? Is there an internal team we can escalate this to for CDN-side investigation? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for advice on a repeated App Store rejection under Guideline 2.5.1. Background: We initially explored using Family Controls for a planned feature. That feature has now been fully removed from the app. We no longer provide any Screen Time related functionality. What we already cleaned up: Removed all FamilyControls / ManagedSettings / DeviceActivity code usage. Removed commented-out code and all related references from the project. Removed related capabilities and entitlements from targets. Removed related frameworks/dependencies. Performed a clean rebuild and submitted a new archive. However, App Review still says the app includes ScreenTime API in an unapproved manner and suggests removing those APIs. Questions: What are the most common hidden places where Screen Time / Family Controls traces remain? Has anyone seen this triggered by transitive dependencies or stale build artifacts? What evidence/details should I provide in App Review Notes to help the reviewer verify cleanup? Is there a recommended way to ask App Review to share the specific symbol/framework/target they detected? Any practical checklist or experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

The Lock Screen customization menu fails to replace the default "Camera" shortcut with a selected third-party or system control. Despite the UI appearing to save the new selection, the Lock Screen reverts to the Camera icon immediately upon exiting customization mode.

I did my apple enrolment on April 3rd and I don not have any response yet. What are the next steps

I have been using Swift Playground to build and submit my apps to the appstore for around three years now. Recently I uploaded two of my apps but now when I submit them for approval an error is issued… “Unable to Add for Review”… (see pic attached). I don’t understand it because Playground does not use Xcode as far as I am aware? Can someone advise me what I can do to resolve this? Is it something I have to wait to be fixed by an Apple update?

My visionOS 26.3 app displays a diorama-like scene in a RealityView in a mixed immersive space, about 1 meter square, with view attachments floating above the scene. Each view attachment fades out after user interaction, by animating the view's opacity. What I'm observing is that depending on the position of a view attachment relative to the scene and the camera, an unwanted cutout effect is observed (presumably because of draw order issues), as shown in the right column in the screenshots below. YouTube video link of these sequences: https://youtu.be/oTuo0okKCkc (19 seconds) My question: How does visionOS determine the view attachment draw order relative to the RealityView scene? If I better understood how the draw order is determined, I could modify my scene to ensure that the view attachments were always drawn after the scene, fixing the unwanted cutout effect. I've successfully used ModelSortGroupComponent to control the draw order of entities within the RealityView scene, but my understanding is that this approach cannot be used with view attachments. I've submitted FB22014370 about this issue. Thank you.

Hi everyone, I am currently working on automating the renewal process for our managed certificates using the App Store Connect API. However, I've encountered an issue where certificates of the "Apple Push Service" type cannot be retrieved or created. After reviewing the documentation on CertificateType, it seems there is no corresponding type for Push Service certificates. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appstoreconnectapi/certificatetype Is there any other way or a workaround to obtain or manage these certificates programmatically? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I’m looking for a small number of real testers (around 10 people) for an iPhone app I’ve been building. I need people who will actually use it and tell me what works well and what doesn’t. Who this is for People who: Just came back from a trip Have a trip coming up soon (solo, with friends, partner, or family) Still have photos sitting in your camera roll from a trip you never organized The problem I’m trying to solve After a trip: Photos are in camera roll Plans are buried in chat Everything is scattered You can’t clearly remember what you did on each day What the app does It lets you: Plan or rebuild your trip into a timeline Add moments for each part of the day Put photos and notes into those moments So your trip doesn’t scatter across chat and camera roll. What I need from you If you would like to join, I’ll ask you to: Create one trip Add a few moments for each day Add some photos or notes Then tell me: what felt confusing what felt unnecessary where you stopped If you're interested, below is the TestFlight link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/6FJp6AMG

iPhone 14(iOS 26.4) MacBook Air M4 (macOS 26.4) When I mirror with iPhone on Mac, the enter key is always pressed automatically uncontrollably, causing the search bar and other related scenes to fail.

Hello, I’m trying to better understand the implementation flow for Tap to Pay on iPhone. In a partner onboarding portal (Partner Hub), the process is presented in the following stages: • Registration • Prerequisites • Operations & Setup • Certification • Launch However, it’s not clear what actually changes after completing the “Prerequisites” stage. Questions: After completing “Prerequisites”, are there any changes in terms of entitlements or capabilities provided by Apple? Is access to Tap to Pay functionality enabled at this point, or does it depend on steps outside of Apple’s developer environment? At what stage is the production entitlement typically granted? Is there any Apple-specific action required between “Prerequisites” and “Operations & Setup”? I would appreciate any clarification on how this transition works from Apple’s perspective. Thank you.

I have a app that has both mobile and watch versions. Recently some testers report that the watch app could not be launched if the put the app in the background and then resume. And if they kill the app and try to launch again, there is no any response when tapping the app icon. I managed to export some system logs by installing a sysdiagnose profile, and this info looks suspicious

Since 26.4 beta 3 I've been having errors after a few hours of using Claude Agent. I get an error stating that I am not authed. If I go into Xcode settings, it still shows I am signed into Claude Agent. I have click sign out and then go through the whole auth process again to start using the agent again. This is on two separate computers. Is there anything I can do to stop this behaviour and stay logged in for longer? It worked fine in 26.3.

Hello Apple Developer Support Team, I hope you are doing well. I am writing to request assistance regarding the activation of my Apple Developer Program membership. I have already completed the purchase of the Individual Developer Program (USD 99), but my account has not yet been activated. It has been longer than the usual processing time, and my Membership status still does not show as active. Thank you very much for your time and support. I appreciate your help.

Summary I am unable to link my In-App Purchases and Subscriptions to my app version in App Store Connect. The "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section described in Apple's documentation is not visible on my version preparation page, making it impossible to associate IAPs with my build before submission. Steps to Reproduce Open App Store Connect → My Apps → [App Name] Navigate to the app version in "Prepare for Submission" state Scroll through the entire version page The "In-App Purchases and Subscriptions" section is not present anywhere on the page Expected Behavior According to Apple's documentation and the note shown on the Subscriptions page itself: ▎ "Your first subscription must be submitted with a new app version. Create your subscription, then select it in the 'In-App Purchases or Subscriptions' section of the app's version page before submitting the version for review." The section should be visible and allow me to select my configured subscriptions. Actual Behavior The section does not appear on the version page at all. My subscriptions (monthly, yearly, lifetime) are all in "Ready to Submit" state and correctly configured, but there is no way to link them to the build. Account & Contracts Status All prerequisites are in place: All contracts (Paid Apps Agreement) are signed and active — nothing pending under "Business" / "Agreements, Tax, and Banking" Banking and tax information is fully set up No open items or warnings under the Business section in App Store Connect Despite all account requirements being fulfilled, the IAP linking section remains absent from the version page. Impact This is blocking my app from being approved. Apple's reviewer rejected my submission with Guideline 2.1(a) stating the subscription screen showed no available plans. The reviewer cannot see the IAPs because they were never linked to the version — which I cannot do due to this missing UI section. Environment App Store Connect via browser (Safari + Chrome, both tested) App status: "Prepare for Submission" IAP status: All three products "Ready to Submit" First-time submission (new app, never been approved before) Workaround None found. This appears to be a UI bug in the current version of App Store Connect. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a way to link IAPs to a build via the API or any other workaround?

My name is Paul Merriman. I am the founder of the Merriman Financial Education Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing free financial education. Our iOS app was initially submitted under our technology manager's personal developer account, which was correctly flagged as an issue. We have since enrolled the Foundation as an organization using our verified D-U-N-S number and submitted all required documentation confirming our nonprofit status. We are experiencing two related issues: 1. Enrollment Stuck Processing Our Foundation enrollment has been in "processing" status for several weeks. Our enrollment ID is 7YAJUR73GH. We have not received any updates or communication from Apple about what is needed to complete enrollment. 2. App Store Connect Access Because enrollment is not complete, we cannot log in to App Store Connect using the Foundation's Apple ID. We receive this error: "To access App Store Connect, you must be an individual or team member in the Apple Developer Program." App Review — No Response The app was previously rejected because it was under a personal account rather than the Foundation's account. We corrected this but have received no response to follow-up emails in several weeks. Has anyone experienced this with a nonprofit organization enrollment being stuck in processing? Is there an escalation path beyond email for enrollment issues? Thank you, Paul Merriman Merriman Financial Education Foundation

I’m blocked from building an iOS app because Apple Developer Portal says my Team ID is not associated with an active membership. On the Apple Developer portal resources page I see: “Team ID: ‘’ is not associated with an active membership.” I don’t see a Team selector in the Developer portal (only Account / Help / Sign out). The portal shows a banner “Join the Apple Developer Program”. When I click it: “Sorry, you can’t enroll at this time. Your Apple Account is already associated with the Account Holder of a membership.” In App Store Connect → Users and Access, the only user is my Apple ID and it shows: Role: Account Holder, Admin Apps: All Apps Because of this, my iOS build/signing fails (Expo/EAS build, but same in Xcode) with: Provisioning profile doesn’t support Push Notifications capability Provisioning profile doesn’t include the aps-environment entitlement I enabled Push Notifications / tried regenerating provisioning profiles, but it keeps reusing the same old App Store profile and fails. Questions: What does “Team ID not associated with an active membership” mean when App Store Connect shows me as Account Holder? How do I restore/activate the Developer Program membership for this Team ID (or fix the “already associated” enrollment state)? Is there a specific Apple page where I can verify the membership status for a team when the Team selector is missing? Any guidance would be appreciated—this is blocking App Store builds.
