Overview

The CGSetDisplayTransferByTable() is not working on the latest round of Mac hardware, namely the MacBook Neo (external display), MacBook M5 Pro (both built-in and external display) and possibly the M5 Max. All tested apps (BetterDisplay, MonitorControl, f.lux, Lunar) exhibit the very issue both in macOS Tahoe 26.3 and macOS Tahoe 26.4 RC. Tested on multiple Macs and installations on the MacBook Neo and MacBook M5 Pro. This issue breaks several display related macOS apps. Way to reproduce the issue using an affected app: Install the app BetterDisplay (https://betterdisplay.pro) Launch the app, open the app menu, choose Image Adjustments and try to adjust colors. Adjustments take no effect Way to reproduce the issue programmatically: Attempt to use the affected macOS API feature: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coregraphics/cgsetdisplaytransferbytable(::::_:) Here are the FB numbers: FB22273730 (Filed this one as a developer on an unaffected MBP M3 Max) FB22273782 (Filed from an affected MBP M5 Pro running 26.4 RC, with debug info attached)

Hello Apple Developer Support Team, Our institution has been attempting to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an Organization for over three months. Unfortunately, the enrollment status has remained "Being Processed" throughout this period, with no updates or requests for additional information. We have already contacted Apple Developer Support and received a support case ID, but we have not received a response or resolution. Support Case ID: 103003837813 We have also attempted to contact support through other available channels, but the system only provides an email option, with no telephone callback available. This prolonged delay is preventing our institution from completing its enrollment and publishing its mobile applications on the App Store. Could an Apple Developer Support representative please review our situation and advise on how we can escalate this matter or complete the verification process? We are happy to provide any additional documentation or information required. Thank you for your assistance.

White flash when opening a new tab overridden by a Safari Web Extension on iOS Safari intermittently displays a white flash when opening a new tab overridden by a web extension. I reproduced this on an iPhone 13 mini running iOS 26.5 using a minimal test extension. Minimal reproduction The extension replaces the new tab page through chrome_url_overrides.newtab. The page has a static magenta background, set directly on the root element and through inline CSS. The test page contains no JavaScript, images, fonts, external stylesheets or network requests. Steps to reproduce Install and enable a Safari Web Extension that overrides the new tab page with a static magenta HTML page. Select the extension for new tabs in Safari settings. Open Safari in normal browsing mode. Open a new tab and wait for the magenta page to appear. Open another new tab. Repeat several times. Expected: The page area remains magenta throughout the transition. Actual: The page area intermittently transitions from magenta → white → magenta. The issue reproduces without JavaScript or external resources, so the flash does not require delayed script execution or image loading. Is this a known issue with Safari’s handling of new tab overrides? Is there a supported way for an extension to control the background displayed during this transition?

Hello everyone, I'm posting here because I've exhausted the usual support channels and I'm hoping someone from Apple Developer Relations, or another developer who has experienced something similar, can provide some guidance. On September 17, 2026, I submitted an application to enroll my federally incorporated Canadian corporation in the Apple Developer Program as an organization. All requested business information was provided, including our D-U-N-S number. As of today, more than 40 days have passed, and I've received no meaningful communication regarding the application's status beyond the initial submission acknowledgment. On October 20, I submitted a support request specifically addressing the delay. I received an automated confirmation, but no actual response or update. I've also attempted to contact Apple Developer Support by telephone, only to find that the callback option was unavailable due to high call volume. I understand that organization verification takes time and that Apple must perform appropriate due diligence. However, the complete lack of communication is becoming increasingly concerning. We are actively developing several applications for the Apple ecosystem, and these delays are directly affecting our ability to move forward with testing, distribution, and launch planning. At this point, I'm not necessarily asking for immediate approval. I'm simply asking for some level of communication, transparency, and a clear path toward resolution. Has anyone else experienced similar delays with organization enrollment? If so, how were you able to reach someone who could actually review your application? And if anyone from Apple Developer Relations happens to see this, I would greatly appreciate assistance in getting this matter reviewed or escalated. Thank you for your time.

Hello Apple Developer Support and fellow developers, My individual Apple Developer Program enrollment is still pending after payment and submission of the requested identity documents. Timeline (2026): October 21: The membership fee was charged. I received the order acknowledgement and an invoice confirming the charge with no outstanding balance. October 22: Apple confirmed receipt of the identity documents requested for enrollment verification. October 28: I opened a Developer Support case and received the automated acknowledgement. October 29: The developer account still shows "Pending" and the "Purchase your membership" message. Xcode only shows my Personal Team, so distribution signing remains blocked. I understand that identity verification may require additional review. I would appreciate guidance on how to request a manual review or escalation of the existing support case, and how to confirm whether anything is still required from me or whether the payment needs to be associated with the enrollment. Has anyone resolved this combination of a completed payment, confirmed receipt of documents, and a pending enrollment? Which official support route helped? If Apple Developer Support can assist, I can provide the existing support and enrollment references through the official private support channel. I have omitted personal information and account, invoice, and case identifiers from this public post. Thank you for your help.

Hello, I submitted the requested information on October 17, and the status is currently showing as "Waiting for Review." Could you please confirm that it is successfully in the queue? We are aiming for a November launch, so we would truly appreciate it if the team could expedite the review process if possible. Thank you for your help! Apple ID 6816149963

Title: AccessorySetupKit picker only reports 3 accessories when using filterDiscoveryResults Tags: AccessorySetupKit, Core Bluetooth Hi all, We recently migrated our BLE accessory pairing from our own CoreBluetooth scan flow to AccessorySetupKit. Since this is the new framework Apple recommends for accessory pairing (and with the new Bluetooth privacy model), we wanted to move fully to it. The migration went well overall, but we hit a limit in production that we couldnt find documented anywhere and it's now affecting real users. What we are doing We use .filterDiscoveryResults so we can set our own name and image for each accessory in the picker. For every .accessoryDiscovered event we create an ASDiscoveredDisplayItem and pass the full list to updatePicker(showing:completionHandler:). let descriptor = ASDiscoveryDescriptor() descriptor.bluetoothCompanyIdentifier = ASBluetoothCompanyIdentifier(rawValue: [ID]) descriptor.supportedOptions = .bluetoothPairingLE let item = ASPickerDisplayItem(name: "[Name]", productImage: image, descriptor: descriptor) let settings = ASPickerDisplaySettings() settings.options = .filterDiscoveryResults settings.discoveryTimeout = .long session.pickerDisplaySettings = settings session.showPicker(for: [item]) { _ in } // In the event handler, for every .accessoryDiscovered event: session.updatePicker(showing: allDiscoveredItems) { _ in }The problem We only ever get 3 .accessoryDiscovered events in one picker session, doesnt matter how many of our accessories are advertising nearby. Since the picker shows only what we pass to updatePicker, the sheet never shows more then 3. Our own code has no limit, every discovered item goes to updatePicker. If we remove .filterDiscoveryResults and keep everything else same, the picker shows more than 3 accessories in the same room. So it looks like the limit only applies when filtering is on. How it affects users When there are lot of accessories around (offices, events, households with more than one), the one the user actually want to pair is often not in those 3. Users don't know there is a limit, so they keep dismissing the picker and opening it again hoping their accessory shows up this time. Understandably this is very frustrating for them, and with our old scan flow this wasn't a issue because we could list every accessory nearby. To reproduce Turn on more than 3 accessories matching the descriptor within few metres of the iPhone, present the picker with the above configuration and log every .accessoryDiscovered event. Only 3 arrive, any accessory turned on after the first 3 never shows up. Questions Is this limit of 3 intended? If yes, is there a way to raise it or reset it during the session (for example after calling updatePicker)? How the picker decides which accessories gets reported? Is there a recommended approach for crowded environments? If it's intended, can it be added to the documentation? Environment iOS Version 27.1 (27A9269), iPhone 16 pro(MYNR3HN/A), Version 27.1 (27A9269) We have filed this as FB25362032. Thanks!

Hello, I'm trying to enroll into the Apple Developer Program as an individual but it has been stuck for more than a week now at this point: Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program is under review. Please contact us. I tried a while ago from the app but I never finished the steps and I officially applied 9 days ago, from the website because from the app it didn't allow me. I fear that I might have been restricted or blocked since I am also not being replied by the support tickets that I have submitted. https://developer.apple.com/help/account/membership/enrolling-in-the-app/ This page says that I should verify my ID, but I am not sure whether I've done that or where I can now submit these documents. I would greatly appreciate any help on how I can proceed beause I feel helpless.

Hello, I am an independent developer, and my app "Old Ways: Maps & Terrain" (iOS version 1.0.0, build 67) has been in "Waiting for Review" since I submitted it on October 13, 2026 - 13 days as of today. App Store Connect shows no messages from App Review, no rejection and no request for information, and the status has not changed since submission. The Android version of Old Ways is already published and available to users, so iOS is the only platform still blocked. This is the first iOS submission of the app. The delay directly affects our iOS launch and the plans of a one-person studio that cannot release, market or monetize the app on iOS until review begins. I understand that review times vary and I respect the work of the App Review team. However, 13 days with no activity at all is far longer than the typical review time for most submissions, and it looks like an anomaly rather than a normal queue. I would appreciate specific guidance on three questions. Question 1: Is there a known reason why a first submission can remain in "Waiting for Review" this long (for example an additional verification step, or a routing or queue issue)? Question 2: Is any action required from my side, or should I leave the current submission untouched so I do not lose my place in the queue? Question 3: What is the recommended official escalation path beyond an App Review Status Inquiry and an expedited review request? I am filing a status inquiry with Developer Support in parallel and will update this thread with the outcome, which may help other developers in the same situation. If an Apple team member can check whether the submission is correctly queued, I would be very grateful. Thank you.

Guideline 5.1.3(ii) says apps "may not store personal health information in iCloud", but doesn't define the term. If a user types their own body weight into an app (not read from HealthKit), may the app back it up to that user's CloudKit private database? If not, is saving it to HealthKit, and reading it back from there after a reinstall, the expected approach? We asked for an App Review appointment about this and the request was declined, so we're asking here.

Hi, We cannot distribute any build via TestFlight. Both internal and external testing fail. This appears to be a server-side beta contract issue on the account. SYMPTOMS Builds upload and process successfully. All 8 builds show status "Testing" in App Store Connect with 84-90 days remaining. In the TestFlight app on device, the build appears with an Install button. Tapping Install fails immediately with: "Could not install [App]. The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." This happens for INTERNAL testing as well, which does not require Beta App Review — indicating the problem is not in the review pipeline. In App Store Connect, the "What to Test" step fails with: "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later." BROWSER CONSOLE EVIDENCE Repeated failures on the beta review submission endpoint: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 422 https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/iris/v1/betaAppReviewSubmissions Also observed: 404 NOT_FOUND — /iris/v1/appTaxCategories/[app id] "There is no resource of type 'appTaxCategories' with id '...'" ACCOUNT STATUS — all verified Active Free Apps Agreement: Active (Oct 19, 2026) Paid Apps Agreement: Active (Oct 21, 2026) Bank account: Active Tax forms (Certificate of Foreign Status, W-8BEN): Active (Oct 21, 2026) Digital Services Act: Active (Oct 22, 2026) Apple Developer Program membership: current Account Holder accepted the Oct 13, 2026 Developer Program License Agreement This is a newly enrolled account; all agreements became Active Oct 19-22, 2026. BUILD CONFIGURATION Version: 1.0.0, builds 6 through 15, uploaded Oct 22 and Oct 28, 2026 — all AFTER the agreements became Active Processing status: Complete / Ready to Submit App Availability: configured, no territories stuck in "Processing" Encryption: ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption set in Info.plist History: First release cycle; app has never been removed from sale ALREADY TRIED Multiple new builds, removing and re-adding testers, new testing groups, reinstalling TestFlight, verifying Apple IDs match invitations, multiple devices and multiple Apple IDs. No change. QUESTION Could the beta contract for this account be re-provisioned on the App Store Connect backend? Per previous threads this appears to require internal action. Apple Support Case ID: 103005208314 Bundle ID: com.tirtik.tirtik This is a server-side issue, not device-side. A sysdiagnose can be provided on request. Thank you.

Apple Developer Program organization enrollment is blocked with this error: "Contact us to continue your enrollment. You've exceeded the maximum number of attempts." Cause: the work email verification codes arrived more than 10 minutes late, so each code had expired before I could enter it. The mail server delay is fixed and apple.com is now allowlisted. Apple Developer Support case ID: 103003850693, open since 21 October. No reply apart from the automatic acknowledgement. Requesting a phone call fails with "There was a problem processing your request." Request for Apple Developer Program Support: please reset the verification attempts on this enrollment so I can finish it. Organization: MAL (Nevada corporation), D-U-N-S 142223959. This is blocking Developer ID signing and notarization for our macOS app.

Hello, My app, CBRE Deal IQ version 4.0.5, was submitted for review on October 13, 2026. As of October 29, the review status has not changed, and I haven’t received any feedback or requests for information. Could someone advise whether this wait is expected, or whether there’s a recommended way to check on the submission? I’ve also contacted Apple through App Store Connect / the Resolution Center, if applicable. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I recently started building some apps that I'd like to publish in the iOS ecosystem, so on October 14, 2026, I began my Apple Developer Program enrollment. It's been 13 days since then, and my status is still "Pending." I've sent 5 emails to support and haven't received a single response. Is this how it normally works? I paid R$524.47 and I'm being left in the dark.

Best thing about it is i actually got an email back to one of my complaints emails about 7 days ago that my app had been accepted for Apple expedite review.... and 7 days later still waiting. Would hate to think what the wait time is if it hadn't be accepted for expedite.

21 october i completed the enrollment for the Apple Developer Program, got the acknowledgement and the invoice from Apple, but the account is still pending. did a ticket to support and still no answer. i dont mind waiting, but need a clear time schedule.

Hi everyone, After my app was rejected, repeated contact attempts and an appeal have not led to any meaningful guidance. What should I do next? Apple ID: 6807882674 Review timeline (all dates are in 2026): September 7: First submitted the app for App Store review. September 16: The app was rejected. I then sent three messages through Contact Us and received no reply to any of them. I subsequently submitted an appeal, which also received no response. During this period: I continued developing the app, updating the review information and resubmitting. Multiple TestFlight external beta builds were also rejected. When I contacted Apple about those rejections, the replies were generic process information with no specific advice on what to change. October 20 (UTC): Resubmitted the app for App Store review. As of October 27, it is still Waiting for Review, with no further update. It has been 50 days since my first submission, including rejection, an appeal and resubmissions. I understand that reviews take time. However, the replies I have received feel mechanical and unhelpful: they repeat general process information without addressing my specific questions or explaining what needs to change. I still do not know how to move forward. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? How can I obtain case-specific guidance? If an Apple staff member sees this, could you help check my case or advise on the next step? I can provide the relevant case numbers through the support channel. Thank you for your help. I will update this thread daily until there is substantive progress with the review.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice from other Apple developers who may have experienced similar delays with App Store Connect verification and Apple Developer Support. I've been trying to get my app through the necessary verification and review processes, but several issues remain unresolved despite opening multiple support cases. Here is my current situation: Business verification My account continues to display: “We are verifying your information. We will email you if there are any issues with the information you submitted.” I have been waiting for a considerable time without receiving a clear update about the verification status. Ireland Tax Form I submitted my Ireland Tax Form on September 23, 2026, and it is still showing as “Pending.” My other tax forms are marked as “Active.” App Encryption Documentation I uploaded my encryption documentation on October 15, 2026, and it is still showing as “In Review.” Apple Developer Support I have opened several support cases relating to business verification, agreements, App Store Connect, app review and encryption. I have contacted support multiple times, but I still do not have a clear explanation of the delays or a timeline for resolution. I am also having difficulty continuing the conversation through my existing cases. My Paid Apps Agreement and Free Apps Agreement are active, and my bank account is also marked as active. I understand that Apple needs to complete its compliance checks, and I am happy to provide any additional documentation required. However, the lack of communication and progress is becoming increasingly frustrating. I'd appreciate advice from anyone who has experienced a similar situation: How long did your business verification or tax form approval take? Has anyone had encryption documentation remain “In Review” for several weeks? Did you find an effective way to escalate the issue when Apple Developer Support stopped responding or would not allow further messages? Is there a particular department or contact route that helped you get a meaningful update? I'm not looking to bypass Apple's verification requirements. I simply want to understand what is causing the delays and how to get a proper response. Any recent experiences or practical suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hello, I'm enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an individual in Pakistan, and my enrollment has been stuck since an address check. • Case ID: 103003812590 (Membership and Account > Program Enrollment) What happened: I entered my address exactly as printed on my national ID card (CNIC). The form rejected it as incomplete, because my Pakistani ID card doesn't show a house number. I then entered a more complete address so the form would accept it. It's correct, but it no longer matches the card word for word. The enrollment then moved to "under review" and asked me to contact support. The enrollment page's account data shows "addrStatus": "invalid", so the hold looks like an automatic address check, not something wrong with my identity. I can send any proof of address Apple accepts (bank statement). I emailed Developer Support on Oct 21, 22 and 24 and have had no reply. Could someone from Apple look at this case, or tell me which address format and documents you need for an area without house numbers? Thank you,

We're building a SaaS that lets independent businesses issue Apple Wallet stamp-card passes. Our server signs every pass with a single Pass Type ID from our developer account. Each pass shows the merchant's own name and branding, and the back says "Issued by our platform" with a support contact. Updates use the standard web service plus an empty APNs push. Two questions: 1. Is it acceptable for one Pass Type ID to issue passes for many independent merchants, or should each merchant have its own? If a merchant sent abusive promotions, could Apple revoke the shared Pass Type ID and affect all merchants? 2. We use changeMessage on a back field to show merchants' occasional promotions (max one every 48 hours, reviewed by us), as well as on stamp and reward updates. The Wallet HIG discourages changeMessage for marketing. Is a promotional message on a loyalty pass acceptable, and what's the recommended mechanism? Has anyone running a multi-merchant platform dealt with this? Thanks!
