Overview

My app (App ID: 6757516331) has been stuck in "Waiting for Review" since February 3rd. It has been over a week, and I have not received any updates yet. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

My app was rejected because Apple’s reviewers couldn’t sign in with Google or iCloud on iOS 26.3. The problem is, I can’t reproduce the issue on any iOS 26.x version, including 26.3.1, which I suspect actually fixes whatever was broken in 26.3. I’ve replied to App Review asking for more details and a screen recording, but now I’m stuck waiting 3 days for a response while Apple’s own review system is apparently still running the buggy 26.3 build. Has anyone else been rejected for this recently? And does anyone know if there’s a way to get the iOS 26.3 simulator runtime now that Components only offers 26.3.1? Any tips for speeding up the back-and-forth with App Review in a case like this would also be appreciated.

Since a few weeks, I feel the content of the forums is less and less interesting. Probably 80% (not to say 90%) of the posts are about complains about review process, a serious question for those who have a problem but questions on which other developers can do absolutely nothing even if they bothered. Forum is becoming a wailing wall. With such a trend (but what to do to change it ?), forums will soon be of no interest at all, which is really unfortunate for the developers community.

Hi guys, I’ve built a crypto app and trying to get it to the App Store but it’s been consisten rejected and I’m not sure reason. Rejection reason is app completness but the app so totally complete. I provided an account to test with and I see that they login but I notice the rejection comes seconds after they login. The app submitted is connected to my prod env so they have to do an actual transaction. is that the jssue?

Hi friends, I need a design and coding team to publish a fintech app. Can anyone help me with this?

Hello, I am experiencing a persistent TestFlight installation issue affecting multiple unrelated apps under the same Apple Developer account. For all affected apps: Builds upload successfully to App Store Connect Processing completes normally Builds appear in TestFlight Internal and external testing can be enabled Public links generate correctly However, when attempting to install the app via TestFlight, the installation fails with the error: “The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist.” This occurs: For internal testers For external testers Across different Apple IDs Across different devices With newly created apps After incrementing build numbers After re-uploading builds After signing out/in of TestFlight After regenerating provisioning profiles After creating entirely new app entries The issue currently affects: • TubeChat AI – Apple ID 6752591427 • Vibex – Apple ID 6756860663 • vigilAI – Apple ID 6757738356 Since multiple unrelated apps are impacted in the same way, this appears to be an account-level or App Store Connect backend issue rather than a code signing or project configuration problem. Has anyone encountered a similar situation where TestFlight distribution fails across all apps within a developer account? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Why

Have paid for developer, have not received. I'm losing $200 a day until they doo Please help. Anyone

Hi everyone, I am struggling with a persistent issue regarding my Developer Program membership and Xcode syncing. Even though the Apple Developer Portal shows that my developer license is active and I have full access to App Store Connect, it is unfortunately not possible to sign applications with this account. It behaves as if the license wasn't active. The Symptoms: -Portal status: Active (Account Holder/Admin), -Xcode Settings: When I navigate to Settings > Accounts and select my team, there is a Red X displayed next to "Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles.", Xcode suggests there is an issue accessing these resources and I cannot sign any binaries. Confirmed the membership is active in the web portal. Everything seems configured correctly on the web side, but the account simply doesn't work locally in Xcode. Has anyone faced this specific "Red X" issue despite a valid membership? Is there a specific cache I need to clear or a way to force Xcode to re-fetch the correct status? Any advice on how to resolve this loop would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :)

Why help

A friend of mine said he applied for enrollment for an Organization. But during the process he did not type the code received for verifying the email. On the next day trying for enrollment there was a message of max tries. Plus he received an email with the title "developer agreement signed" How can he verify the agreement started or what can he do? He wants to know if it was succesful and he must wait or...

I've upgraded to a new Macbook recently, just when I was setting up my Xcode, I realized I there is a this red "X" showing up next to my development team as I was signing in to my account I have checked my permission on App Store Connect, everything seemed fine. I have also deleted my old Apple development certificate and requested for another one. Nothing worked.

Hello everyone, I wanted to know if any of you are experiencing difficulties creating an Apple Developer account and accessing the Apple Store. As for me, I still can’t manage to complete my registration; it always shows the same message: “Your enrollment could not be completed at this time.” Of course, I am over 18 and I have fully completed my Apple ID profile. It has already been a week. can anyone advise ? TIA

Hardware: • Mac Studio (M1 Ultra) • Apple Silicon • Sufficient free disk space (~35GB+ available) • SIP enabled • 4 local Time Machine snapshots present Current System: • Already running macOS Tahoe beta • Attempting upgrade to macOS Tahoe 26.4 Beta (Build 25E5207k) Primary Issue: Software Update downloads successfully, then moves to “Preparing…”. It stalls at “About 5 minutes remaining” for ~10–15 minutes and fails with: “Failed to prepare the software update. Please try again. An error occurred while downloading the selected updates.” The error appears network-related, but download always completes. Observed Behaviour: • “Checking for Updates” completes in <3 minutes. • softwareupdated and mobileassetd CPU usage <1%. • softwareupdate --history shows no record of the failed beta install. • No excessive system load or obvious disk pressure. Steps Already Attempted: 1. Standard Software Update retries • Multiple download/retry cycles from System Settings. • Same Preparing failure every time. 2. Permissions / Disk Access • Granted Terminal Full Disk Access. • SIP remains enabled. • Some system-protected locations still return “Operation not permitted”. 3. Cache / State Cleanup Attempts • Removed /Library/Updates/*. • Cleared temporary softwareupdate folders under /private/var/tmp. • Attempted MobileAsset cache cleanup where permitted. • Killed softwareupdated and mobileassetd processes (auto-restarted by launchd). 4. Beta Channel Reset • Turned Beta Updates OFF in System Settings. • Rebooted. • Re-enabled Beta Updates. • Forced catalog refresh via softwareupdate -l. 5. Snapshot Check • tmutil listlocalsnapshots / shows only 4 snapshots (normal range). 6. Full Installer Workaround softwareupdate --list-full-installers shows: • macOS Tahoe Beta 26.4 (25E5207k) • Tahoe 26.3 / 26.2 / 26.1 • Sequoia / Sonoma / Ventura / Monterey installers Downloaded installer via: softwareupdate –fetch-full-installer –full-installer-version 26.4 Installer downloaded correctly: /Applications/Install macOS Tahoe Beta.app 7. startosinstall Method (Apple Silicon optimized) Attempted install with: sudo “/Applications/Install macOS Tahoe Beta.app/Contents/Resources/startosinstall” –user –agreetolicense –nointeraction –forcequitapps –rebootdelay 30 –passprompt Authorization succeeds, installer begins preparing, but installation still ultimately fails. Additional Notes: • CPU usage remains low during failure. • No excessive snapshot count. • Error messaging consistently references download/network even though download completes. • Issue appears to occur during cryptex/asset preparation phase rather than initial download. Question for Apple / other developers: Has anyone else seen Tahoe 26.4 beta fail specifically during the Preparing phase on Apple Silicon (especially Ultra-class chips)? Looking for confirmation whether this is a known MobileAsset or cryptex staging issue, or if logs indicate a deeper APFS / volume-owner authorization problem.

Hello, My Apple Developer Program enrollment has been pending for almost one month. I have already contacted Apple Developer Support via email and also called support, but unfortunately I have not received any response or update so far. On the support page it says responses usually come within 2 days or less, but it has been much longer in my case. Could someone from Apple please help check the status of my enrollment or advise what I should do next? Thank you.

With Xcode 26.3, and beta 26.4 (under macOS 26.4 Beta (25E5223i)) my loaded platforms for canvas and simulators keep disappearing. Try to add platforms, and the download just sits there.

I'm unable to complete the process of getting my app into the store because every time I click on a link in my user portal I'm taken to a login page - which then brings me back to the start. Indeed almost everything is as f'd up as this. It's been an extremely frustrating morning.

In Swift, iOS, I have a pdf file. I want to take the pages 2 by 2 and put them side by side, on the new page. For this, I have to scale initial pages half size and rotate .pi/2. I managed to achieve this by converting pdf pages to UIImages and using a UIGraphicsImageRenderer. But with a critical loss of resolution. I've tried improving the resolution by creating images as jpegData(withCompressionQuality: 1.0), to no avail. So I would need to work directly on the pdf pages using CGPDFDocument format. The code structure is as follows, to insert a single scaled page: for iPage in … { if let _page = theCGPdfDocument.page(at: 1) { var _pageRect: CGRect = _page.getBoxRect(CGPDFBox.mediaBox) writeContextInDestination!.beginPage(mediaBox: &_pageRect) // translate to compensate for the flip caused displacement writeContextInDestination!.translateBy(x: _pageRect.size.width, y: _pageRect.size.height) Scale (-1, -1) // rotate 180° // add rotate as needed writeContextInDestination!.scaleBy(x: -1, y: -1) writeContextInDestination!.clip(to: _pageRect) writeContextInDestination!.drawPDFPage(_page) writeContextInDestination!.endPage() // end the current page } } writeContextInDestination!.closePDF() But I do not succeed in inserting the drawing of the second page. I've tried repeating lines 7 to 11 for a second page at line 13. No success. What is the direction to look for ?

I’ve been waiting for over a month after payment for Apple to activate my Developer account. I’ve sent countless emails and spoke to the Support on the phone and no one is able to assist me. I’m shocked how this has been dealt with.

Last week I paid 99 USD for app developer account. Still not active. Today I paid again, hoping that it will be active. Payments were submitted. I tried to email Apple and I received emails stating they will reply in 2 days. No replies received. What is this hype about Apple if their customer care is hopeless. And why is it so difficult to contact someone from Apple even by email? Unless I have the developer account active I cannot proceed with my app
