Overview

My development work is paused as Xcode is now non-functional on my Macs. Loading any project into Xcode soon leads to a hang and Force Quit. The SDKs are listed as "status unavailable". No Simulators are available. I've tried previous versions of Xcode; removing everything and re-installing; installation from the Store and direct from the Apple Developer site. I've created a Feedback issue. This happens on both of my Mac minis. I'm running Tahoe 26.4 (25E246) on both.

FB: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/22556883 We're seeing a small number of production users where both Transaction.currentEntitlements and Transaction.all return zero transactions for a valid, active, non-refunded non-consumable IAP. This makes it impossible to restore the purchase via any StoreKit 2 API. Environment: Xcode 26.4 (Build 17E192) iOS 26.4.1 Direct call to SK2 Transactions.all & Flutter in_app_purchase package v3.2.3 (uses SK2 on iOS 15+) Non-consumable IAP (one-time purchase) What we observe: AppStore.sync() triggers but the purchase stream returns 0 transactions Transaction.all returns empty Transaction.currentEntitlements also returns empty User is confirmed on the correct Apple ID Issue reproduces on both iPhone and Mac for the same Apple ID Issue appears to have started recently for users who previously had no problems Debug log from affected production user: [2026-04-20T08:50:10.744115Z] init: iapAvailable=true [2026-04-20T08:50:10.744566Z] init: isPremium=false [2026-04-20T08:50:10.744567Z] init: triggering silent restorePurchases [2026-04-20T08:50:45.974566Z] restore: started [2026-04-20T08:50:45.986848Z] restore: sk2Transactions count=0 [2026-04-20T08:50:45.993004Z] restore: sk2Direct isVerified=false active=null [2026-04-20T08:50:45.993011Z] restore: sk2Direct inconclusive — falling back to standard restore [2026-04-20T08:51:16.000851Z] restore: timed out after 30s — fallback isPremium=false [2026-04-20T08:51:16.000910Z] restore: completed — succeeded=false foundPurchase=false Unable to reproduce in sandbox — Transaction.all works correctly there. Appears specific to production for a small subset of users. Has anyone else seen this?

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.

I've submitted my Digital Service Act a month and a half ago, but it is currently stuck in the "In Review" state. Because of this pending status, my app has been removed from the European storefronts, specifically Germany. I got an email saying the issue was promoted to a senior and the senior responded that she transferred it to the engineering team. i have customers waiting and it really hurts my business, what can i do? I don’t understand why there’s a need for engineering team for this issue, I just need someone to look at it and approve / reject the request If the support here or anyone can help it would be the best news for me, Thank you for that matter.

I've submitted my Digital Service Act a month adn a half ago, but it is currently stuck in the "In Review" state. Because of this pending status, my app has been removed from the European storefronts, specifically Germany. i have customers waiting and it really hurts my business, what can i do? I tried to write to the developer support but received answer only onces that they cannot see any DSA cases where in reality there is and i cannot resubmit it or do anything otherwise waiting. If the support here or anyone can help it would be the best news for me, Thank you for that matter.

I'm writing this post out of genuine desperation after exhausting every official support channel available to me. The situation: I've built a screen time / focus app for students called SınavKilidi, specifically designed for Turkish high school students preparing for the YKS university entrance exam — one of the most high-stakes exams in Turkey, taken by hundreds of thousands of students every year. The exam window is approximately 2 months away. This app is inherently seasonal: if it doesn't reach users before the exam season, an entire year of development becomes irrelevant. The main app binary was approved and is live. Everything on the App Store Connect side is fully ready — metadata, screenshots, pricing, in-app purchases, the works. The blocker: My app uses App Extensions that require the com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement. The main app target received distribution entitlement approval. However, the extensions — which are architecturally inseparable from the core functionality — have not received the same entitlement. Without this, I cannot submit a working build. The app is literally unshippable in its current state despite the main entitlement being granted. This is not a configuration issue on my end. The entitlement is correctly set up in my provisioning profiles. The gap is purely on Apple's approval side for the extension targets. The support experience: I opened Case #102855522321 on March 29, 2026. Since then: I had a call with Apple Developer Support on April 1 I sent follow-up emails on April 1, April 2, April 3, and April 7 Not a single substantive response. Only automated acknowledgements. That is 10+ days, 4 follow-up emails, 1 phone call, and complete silence on an issue that is actively costing me my launch window. What I'm asking: I'm not asking for special treatment. I understand Apple receives thousands of requests. But this entitlement request is for a legitimate, already-partially-approved app, with a documented real-world deadline, in an educational category that Apple actively promotes. Can anyone from the App Review or Developer Relations team look into Case #102855522321 and provide an actual update? Or can anyone here share whether there's a known delay affecting FamilyControls entitlement approvals for extensions specifically? Any guidance would be deeply appreciated. Every day that passes without a resolution is a day closer to this app missing its entire reason for existing.

Hi everyone I’m looking for some help regarding my enrollment. I paid for the Apple Developer Program on April 10th and the funds were fully deducted from my bank account on April 13th. However, my account status has not updated and still shows "Enroll Now" or "Enrollment in progress." I have already contacted support multiple times, but my case hasn't been resolved yet. Case ID: 102868232846 Does anyone know how to speed this up, or can a moderator please look into this? It has been over 10 days and I urgently need to start working on my app distribution. Thanks!

After updating to Xcode 26 my XCUITests are now failing as during execution exceptions are being raised and caught by my catch all breakpoint These exceptions are only raised during testing, and seem to be referencing some private internal property. It happens when trying to tap a button based off an accessibilityIdentifier e.g. accessibilityIdentifier = "tertiary-button" ... ... app.buttons["tertiary-button"].tap() The full error is: Thread 1: "[<UIKit.ButtonBarButtonVisualProvider 0x600003b4aa00> valueForUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key _titleButton." Anyone found any workarounds or solutions? I need to get my tests running on the liquid glass UI

I paid for the Apple Developer Program last Friday, and the money was already taken from my bank account. I also received the invoice. However, my enrollment is still not active, and the website still shows “Enroll Now.” It says it should take up to two business days, but I still have no update. I also contacted Apple Support by email and by phone, but so far I have not received any answer. For reference: • Invoice number: UA31516475 • Web order number: W1433496750 • Support case ID: 102873921939 Has anyone had the same issue, and what should I do next?

Hello, We are experiencing an issue related to push notifications after updating devices to iOS 26.4 Beta. Our system stores push notification tokens on the server by associating the device token with the device’s IDFV in the app. After updating a device to iOS 26.4 Beta, we observed that the device token from a previously uninstalled version of the app remains valid for more than a week. As a result, two push notifications are delivered to the same device. The situation is as follows: The user installs the app and a device token is generated. The user uninstalls the app. Later, the user installs the app again and a new device token is generated. However, the previous device token does not become invalid, even after more than a week. Because IDFV changes when the app is reinstalled, our server cannot determine that the device belongs to the same user. Therefore, we cannot overwrite the old token with the new one on the server side. Could you please advise: Is this behavior expected in iOS 26.4 Beta? How long does it normally take for a device token to become invalid after an app is uninstalled? What is the recommended approach to prevent duplicate push notifications in this situation? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Best regards

Dear Apple Support team, I'm reaching out about an issue we're facing in our iOS audio host app on iPad. Keyboard shortcuts from an external hardware keyboard (Bluetooth) work perfectly until we load an AUv3 plugin, then the host suddenly loses all keyboard focus, and key commands stop responding completely. To give you more context: this affects every DAW that supports AUv3. I've tested it in Logic Pro for iOS, Camelot Pro, and AUM. The problem starts right after instantiating any AUv3, causing the keyboard to lose focus and preventing key commands from working. Before that, keyboard events reach our UIView without issues. Notably, this doesn't happen on iOS versions before iOS 26. I've verified it works perfectly on iOS 17 and iOS 18. You can see the full discussion and steps to reproduce in this JUCE forum thread: https://forum.juce.com/t/keyboard-focus-lost-and-keycommands-stop-working-after-instantiating-an-auv3-in-a-juce-based-host-on-ios/68497/5. It seems potentially related to AUv3 sandboxing or iOS UIView focus management. I would really appreciate your help with any insights, known issues, or workarounds. Thanks, Samuele

Hello, I’m posting here as a last resort because this situation is becoming extremely concerning. I applied for the Apple Developer Program on April 1st, and the $99 payment was successfully charged immediately. I was told I would receive a response within 2 business days. It has now been 23 days, and I have received absolutely no communication from Apple—no confirmation, no update, nothing. I have already: Sent multiple emails to Apple Developer Support Waited far beyond the promised timeframe But there has been complete silence. To make things worse, I am located in a country where phone support is not available, so I have no way to escalate this directly. At this point, I’m struggling to understand what’s happening: Apple has taken my payment My developer account is still not active There is no response from support This feels extremely unprofessional and honestly raises serious concerns about how this process is being handled. If there is an issue with my enrollment, why has there been no communication at all? And if not, why is my payment being held without any progress? I would really appreciate if someone from Apple could look into this urgently or advise on what steps I can take next. Right now, I feel completely scammed with no visibility into what’s going on.

My app is: 6757429647, Most of reviews went successfully within 2 days but this one its waiting for review for almost 6 days, what might be the issue? I'm waiting for a reply from Apple team

Hi, I have an approved com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement for my main app bundle (com.maxflame.prove-it) and submitted a request on April 18, 2026 to extend it to an embedded extension: com.maxflame.prove-it.DeviceActivityMonitorExtension Request ID: 65CKJZ7DQ4 — status still shows "Submitted" with no further response. The extension uses DeviceActivity callbacks and needs to decode FamilyActivitySelection, which requires the entitlement on the extension bundle as well. In my experience, Family Controls entitlement approvals for the main app bundle have come through within 24 hours. It's now been 5 days with no response for this extension request, which seems unusual. Has anyone else gone through this for extension bundle IDs? Did you need to submit a separate request per bundle, or did Apple extend the approval to your extensions automatically once the main app was approved? And has anyone else experienced longer wait times specifically for extension bundles? Any guidance appreciated.

I was selected as one of the winners for the recent Swift Student Challenge, and I was wondering if we will get more information regarding the delivery of the AirPods Max 2 and the certificate? Were these already delivered? I haven't received any email about this, so I wanted to ask here.

I've already submitted multiple cases about this issue. My Family Controls Distribution request was apparently approved (or I was told via Developer Support) for my Shield Action & Shield Configuration extensions, but the Distribution option still does not appear in the identifiers. This is blocking my ability to distribute via TestFlight. I need someone who can update the identifier capabilities or explain why the approved capability is not showing.

On iPad OS 26, the custom keyboard works correctly with a full keyboard, but with a floating keyboard, there is only one line and the console displays a constraint error. Unable to simultaneously satisfy constraints. Probably at least one of the constraints in the following list is one you don't want. Try this: (1) look at each constraint and try to figure out which you don't expect; (2) find the code that added the unwanted constraint or constraints and fix it.

Hey everyone, Back in 2022 and 2023, we noticed that some images on our web pages would disappear randomly. After refreshing, some of the images that were missing would appear, but then another image would go missing. Did anyone else experience this issue? Is there a fix / workaround I can use? This only seems to be an issue on iOS devices and images that have the loading=“lazy” attribute.

I'm writing a read-only filesystem extension. I see that the documentation for loadResource(resource:options:replyHandler:) claims that the --rdonly option is supported, which suggests that this should be possible. However, I have never seen this option provided to my filesystem extension, even if I return usableButLimited as a probe result (where it doesn't mount at all - FB19241327) or pass the -r or -o rdonly options to the mount(8) command. Instead I see those options on the volume's activate call. But other than saving that "readonly" state (which, in my case, is always the case) and then throwing on all write-related calls I'm not sure how to actually mark the filesystem as "read-only." Without such an indicator, the user is still offered the option to do things like trash items in Finder (although of course those operations do not succeed since I throw an EROFS error in the relevant calls). It also seems like the FSKit extensions that come with the system handle read-only strangely as well. For example, for a FAT32 filesystem, if I mount it like mount -r -F -t msdos /dev/disk15s1 /tmp/mnt Then it acts... weirdly. For example, Finder doesn't know that the volume is read-only, and lets me do some operations like making new folders, although they never actually get written to disk. Writing may or may not lead to errors and/or the change just disappearing immediately (or later), which is pretty much what I'm seeing in my own filesystem extension. If I remove the -F option (thus using the kernel extension version of msdos), this doesn't happen. Are read-only filesystems currently supported by FSKit? The fact that extensions like Apple's own msdos also seem to act weirdly makes me think this is just a current FSKit limitation, although maybe I'm missing something. It's not necessarily a hard blocker given that I can prevent writes from happening in my FSKit module code (or, in my case, just not implement such features at all), but it does make for a strange experience. (I reported this as FB21068845, although I'm mostly asking here because I'm not 100% sure this is not just me missing something.)

Hi All, I’m trying to get my app approved that performs a few standard, well-established medical calculations including dosing. It was rejected for 1.4.2 Safety - Physical Harm. I’m confused because I can see dozens of published apps from developers and private companies that perform dose calculations and don’t appear to meet the 1.4.2 standard. Does anyone know what these developers might be doing differently that they are able to gain approval for their apps? Replying to the message in App Connect just got me what looks like a boilerplate answer. I want to be in compliance but it frustrating that I can’t get specifics on how to gain approval.
