WeatherKit JWT token generation fails with WDSJWTAuthenticator Code=2 despite correct entitlement
I enabled the WeatherKit capability on my App ID (com.saimcan.darkweather, Team 6SWSD6V4ZC) about 12 hours ago. The entitlement is embedded in the binary and the provisioning profile authorizes it, but every request fails at the JWT generation step. Error from the logs: Error Domain=WeatherDaemon.WDSJWTAuthenticatorServiceListener.Errors Code=2 "(null)" Relevant log excerpt (iOS 26.4 Simulator, same result on a physical device): [AuthService] Calling process is 3rd party process and has the correct entitlement ... accepting the connection [AuthService] Received proxy request for generating a jwt token. url=https://weatherkit.apple.com [WeatherDataService] Starting to generate JWT token request. bundleIdentifier=com.saimcan.darkweather [AuthService] Signed successfully [WeatherDataService] Make new JWT token request. requestIdentifier=... [AuthService] Failed to generate jwt token ... Code=2 What I have verified: Active Apple Developer Program membership (renewed through April 2027) All agreements accepted WeatherKit capability enabled on the App ID codesign -d --entitlements confirms com.apple.developer.weatherkit in the built binary embedded.mobileprovision also includes com.apple.developer.weatherkit App Group (group.com.saimcan.darkweather.shared) correctly bound to both the app and widget App IDs Since "Signed successfully" is logged, the device-side auth plumbing is working. The rejection appears to be server-side. Could someone from the WeatherKit team check whether JWT minting is enabled for this Team ID / Bundle ID?

Apple Developer Program Enrollment PROBLEM
Hello, I'm having a serious problem registering for the Apple Developer Program, and I can't resolve it. I applied over two weeks ago, but I still haven't received an activation email. I've also tried using different credit cards, suspecting there might be a problem with my payment method. The main issues are as follows: My order/registration remains in the "processing" status, I haven't received an activation email, Apple Developer Program support isn't responding. I've already sent over seven emails to support, but haven't received any response or updates. Has anyone else encountered a similar situation?

How to Indicate Selected State for a Menu Toolbar Item (Filter) in SwiftUI?
hi, On my page’s toolbar, I have a toolbar item that is implemented as a menu. Its purpose is to filter the content displayed on the page, similar to the filtering feature in the Photos app. When a user selects a filter option, I want the toolbar item to appear highlighted to indicate the active state. I came across the following guidance in the Human Interface Guidelines: Provide a selected-state version of an interface icon only if necessary. You don’t need to provide selected and unselected appearances for an icon that’s used in standard system components such as toolbars, tab bars, and buttons. The system updates the visual appearance of the selected state automatically. An image of two toolbar buttons that share a background. The left button shows the Filter icon in a selected state, using a blue tint color for its background. The right button shows the More icon in an unselected state, using the default appearance for toolbar buttons. In a toolbar, a selected icon receives the app’s accent color. However, I’m not sure how to actually implement or control the selected state for my toolbar item. Here is a snippet of my code: ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Section { LayoutPickerView(layoutOption: $layoutOption) } Section { SortPickerView(sortOption: $viewModel.sortOption) } Section { Menu { Toggle( isOn: Binding( get: { viewModel.filterPlatforms.isEmpty }, set: { if $0 { viewModel.filterPlatforms.removeAll() } } ) ) { HStack { Image(systemName: "square.grid.3x3") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 30, height: 30) Text(Localized.Content.filterAllPlatforms) } } .menuActionDismissBehavior(.disabled) Divider() ForEach(viewModel.availablePlatforms(from: contents)) { platform in Toggle(isOn: viewModel.platformBinding(for: platform)) { HStack { CachedPlatformIconView(urlString: platform.iconUrl, size: 30) Text(platform.name) } } .menuActionDismissBehavior(.disabled) } } label: { Text(Localized.Content.filterMenu) Text(viewModel.filterPlatforms.map(\.name).joined(separator: String(localized: Localized.Content.separator))) } if !viewModel.filterPlatforms.isEmpty { Button { viewModel.filterPlatforms.removeAll() } label: { Text(Localized.Content.filterClear) } } } } label: { Image(systemName: "line.3.horizontal.decrease") } }

Odd search results for my Yatzy game app
If you do a search on the App Store for my app name "YatzyVibe". My app is listed amongst 'baby' and 'pregnancy' apps. Does anyone know what is causing the App Store search process to list my YatzyVibe (dice game) app amongst 'baby' and 'pregnancy' apps? Why isn't it listed amongst Yatzy Game apps? My app name: YatzyVibe Subtitle: No internet needed! Keywords: offline,dice,yatzy,yahtzee,bluetooth,multiplayer,travel,cruise,plane,no internet,family Developer Name: Andrew W. Wesolowski Support URL: https://newbornsoftware.com Bundle ID: com.newbornsoftware.yatzyvibe My app Description does NOT contain any references to 'baby' or 'pregnancy' but does contain: Terms of Use (EULA): https://newbornsoftware.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://newbornsoftware.com/privacy.html Any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue so that: 1. A direct search for "YatzyVibe" takes a user directly to my app 2. Searching for my YatzyVibe app, will result in it being listed amongst other Yatzy type game apps and NOT 'baby' and 'pregnancy' apps. Any help would be appreciated. BTW... I did contact Developer Support via email and their response was not very useful (attached below): Thank you for contacting Developer Support, my name is Jessica and I am so happy to provide you with support today!

Live Caller ID Lookup entitlement request no response for 3+ weeks — Case #102823550184
Hello, I am hoping someone from Apple or the community can help escalate or advise on my situation. I submitted a Live Caller ID Lookup entitlement request for my app Zinfo (com.parastashvili.Mobile), Team ID: CNH4KYRW44. A support case was opened on February 17, 2026 (Case ID: 102823550184). Apple's documentation states entitlement review takes up to 2 weeks. It has now been over 3 weeks with no substantive response despite multiple follow-ups. Timeline: Feb 17: Case opened Feb 26: I provided all requested technical details in full — OHTTP endpoints, Privacy Pass token system, DNS TXT record, Apple test number (+1 408 555 1212 returning "Johnny Appleseed"), all fully deployed and ready for validation Feb 27: Apple replied with a generic "appropriate team will be in contact" message Feb 28, Mar 6, Mar 10: Follow-up emails sent — no meaningful response All technical requirements are fully implemented and operational. We are ready for Apple's validation at any time. Has anyone else experienced long delays with Live Caller ID Lookup entitlement reviews? Is there a better escalation path? I have also submitted a new escalation ticket (Case ID: 102840874265) under Development and Technical > Entitlements today. Any advice or visibility from Apple staff would be greatly appreciated. App: Zinfo (com.parastashvili.Mobile) Extension Bundle ID: com.parastashvili.Mobile.LiveCallerID Team ID: CNH4KYRW44

iOS 26.3.0 TextToSpeech EXC_BAD_ACCESS
Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm seeing a persistent crash in my iOS app reported via Firebase Crashlytics. The issue only started appearing on devices running iOS 26.3.0 and above (the crash does not occur on lower iOS versions, and it's unrelated to my app's version number). Key points: My app does NOT use any Text-to-Speech (TTS) features whatsoever. No AVSpeechSynthesizer, no Speech framework, no related APIs called from our code. My app is primarily written in Objective-C (with some Swift components possibly via dependencies). The crash stack is entirely within Apple's private TextToSpeech framework, specifically in ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance(). I suspect it might be indirectly triggered by a third-party ad SDK (e.g., Google Mobile Ads, AppLovin, etc.) that could be loading or interacting with accessibility features in the background — but this is just a hypothesis, as I have no direct evidence yet. Here is one representative crash log: Crashed: com.apple.root.user-initiated-qos.cooperative 0 TextToSpeech 0x6bb00 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 99800 1 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 2 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 3 TextToSpeech 0x1a0b9c ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 1365620 4 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x628b4 swift::runJobInEstablishedExecutorContext(swift::Job*) + 288 5 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x63d28 swift_job_runImpl(swift::Job*, swift::SerialExecutorRef) + 156 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x13f48 _dispatch_root_queue_drain + 364 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x146fc _dispatch_worker_thread2 + 180 8 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x137c _pthread_wqthread + 232 9 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x8c0 start_wqthread + 8 The crash occurs on a background cooperative queue (Swift Concurrency). Questions: Has anyone else seen crashes inside ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() in TextToSpeech on iOS 26.3.0+ even without using TTS in their app? Could a third-party ad SDK be causing the TextToSpeech framework to load unexpectedly (e.g., via accessibility preloading)? Is this a known bug in iOS 26's Spoken Content / Speak Selection features? Any workarounds or fixes from Apple? Any insights, similar reports (especially from Objective-C based apps), or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Entitlement "com.apple.developer.carplay-driving-task" not allowing audio playback for voice controlled interaction
According to https://developer.apple.com/download/files/CarPlay-Developer-Guide.pdf , apps with entitlement com.apple.developer.carplay-driving-task are allowed to use voice control. In my current implementation the voice recording working fine but the voice response (AVPlayer with category "playback set") does not output any audio. I suspect that it is a entitlement limitation because if I quickly tap to play a music while the voice assistant AVPlayer is "playing", then I can hear the response, but without this trick it stays playing but mute. In parallel I have now requested com.apple.developer.carplay-voice-based-conversation entitlement , but I don't even know if when approved I will be able to use 2 entitlement for the same CarPlay app. Long story short: 1 - Should an app be able to play audio responses when it's CarPlay entitlement is com.apple.developer.carplay-driving-task? 2 - If not, can I combine entitlements com.apple.developer.carplay-driving-task and com.apple.developer.carplay-voice-based-conversation?

Xcode 26.4 productivity/UX regression.
I switch between Project / Tests / Breakpoints using top left pane 100s times a day. I also switch to search using CMD-Shift-F. In Xcode 26.4 I have to tap the <> to open menu. Is there a way to bring back the old behavior. Does any of the UX guys who worked on that feature use Xcode on daily basis? This is so bad :(

Orphaned 9GB Simulator Runtime in /System/Library/AssetsV2 - Cannot Delete (SIP protected)
I have an orphaned asset folder taking up 9.13GB located at: /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_iOSSimulatorRuntime/c0d3fd05106683ba0b3680d4d1afec65f098d700.asset It contains SimulatorRuntimeAsset version 18.5 (Build 22F77). Active Version: My current Xcode setup is using version 26.2 (Build 23C54). I checked the plist files in the directory and found what seems to be the cause of the issue: The "Never Collected" Flag: The Info.plist inside the orphaned asset folder explicitly sets the garbage collection behavior to "NeverCollected": <key>__AssetDefaultGarbageCollectionBehavior</key> <string>NeverCollected</string> The Catalog Mismatch: The master catalog file (com_apple_MobileAsset_iOSSimulatorRuntime.xml) in the parent directory only lists the new version (26.2). Because the old version (18.5) is missing from this XML, Xcode and mobileassetd seem to have lost track of it entirely. What I Have Tried (All Failed) Xcode Components: The version 18.5 does not appear in Settings -> Components, so I cannot delete it via the GUI. Simctl: xcrun simctl list runtimes does not list this version. Running xcrun simctl runtime delete 22F77 fails with: "No runtime disk images or bundles found matching '22F77'." Manual Deletion: sudo rm -rf [path] fails with "Operation not permitted", presumably because /System/Library/AssetsV2 is SIP-protected. Third-party Tools: Apps like DevCleaner do not detect this runtime (likely because they only scan ~/Library or /Library, not /System/Library). Has anyone found a way to force the system (perhaps via mobileassetd or a specific xcrun flag) to re-evaluate this folder and respect a deletion request? I am trying to avoid booting into Recovery Mode just to delete a cache file. Any insights on how AssetsV2 handles these "orphaned" files would be appreciated.

Programmatic IP Discovery for VZVirtualMachine in an App Store Sandbox
Hi everyone, I am developing a macOS virtualization manager (VirtualProg) using the Virtualization.framework. The application is distributed via the Mac App Store, so it operates strictly within the App Store Sandbox. I am looking for a reliable, programmatic way to discover the IP address assigned to a guest (both macOS and Linux). Is there a recommended "Sandbox-safe" API or pattern within the Virtualization framework—or a lower-level networking entitlement—that allows a host application to retrieve the guest's assigned IP address? Ideally, I am looking for a solution that does not require the user to manually install a non-sandboxed helper tool. Thanks in advance for any insights or guidance!

Provisioning profile missing `com.apple.developer.shazamkit` despite App Services checkbox enabled (Team MCN4U9B2K4)
Hi all, and particularly @Eskimo if you spot this — I believe I'm reproducing the backend issuance bug reported in thread 816377 (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/816377) on a different Team ID and would like a second pair of eyes before I burn a TSI. Feedback Assistant filed as FB22582333. Team ID: MCN4U9B2K4 · Bundle ID: com.michaeltocco.Sanbox · Xcode 17 · iOS 18.5 · Automatic signing Setup App ID com.michaeltocco.Sanbox has ShazamKit ticked in App Services; persists through portal reloads. Local entitlements file declares com.apple.developer.shazamkit = YES only (no MusicKit client entitlement, per DTS guidance in thread 799000: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/799000). CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS set in both Debug and Release XCBuildConfiguration buildSettings. NSMicrophoneUsageDescription and NSAppleMusicUsageDescription are both present in the generated Info.plist. What Xcode reports After wiping DerivedData and any Sanbox-matching profiles and running xcodebuild … -allowProvisioningUpdates -destination 'generic/platform=iOS': error: Entitlement com.apple.developer.shazamkit not found and could not be included in profile. This likely is not a valid entitlement and should be removed from your entitlements file. (in target 'Sanbox' from project 'Sanbox') What I verified on the profile Apple just issued $ security cms -D -i 0596f302-….mobileprovision | plutil -extract Entitlements xml1 -o - - shows only the baseline four entitlements — application-identifier, keychain-access-groups, get-task-allow, com.apple.developer.team-identifier. com.apple.developer.shazamkit is absent, which is exactly what thread 816377 describes. What I've already tried Deleted and recreated the App ID from scratch — same symptom. Performed the capability-toggle trick (uncheck ShazamKit → Save → wait 60s → re-check → Save → delete local profiles → rebuild) documented in the "Capability & entitlement updates" help page (https://developer.apple.com/help/account/reference/capability-entitlement-updates/) for the Game Center precedent — same symptom. Confirmed I am building for device, not Simulator. Confirmed the entitlement key name matches DTS guidance in thread 799000 and the live profile dumps in thread 816377. Runtime confirmation When I force a build with only the team wildcard profile, SHManagedSession().result() returns com.apple.ShazamKit Code=202 "Missing entitlements", wrapping an AMS 306 wrapping HTTP 401 from api.shazam.apple.com/v1/catalog/US/match. AMS server correlation key: E5VYL5YSUT4L55KQDDP4MJQAZE. So the server side is consistent: the token the client presents lacks ShazamKit scope because the binary doesn't carry the entitlement, and the binary doesn't carry it because Apple isn't issuing it into the profile. Question Is there a configuration step beyond "tick ShazamKit in App Services" that I've missed for Individual-program accounts, or is this the same backend issuance pathology as thread 816377? Happy to share the security cms output, the decoded plist, the build log, or anything else useful. Thanks.

Determining if an entitlement is real
This issue keeps cropping up on the forums and so I decided to write up a single post with all the details. If you have questions or comments: If you were referred here from an existing thread, reply on that thread. If not, feel free to start a new thread. Use whatever topic and subtopic is appropriate for your question, but also add the Entitlements tag so that I see it. Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@" + "apple.com" Determining if an entitlement is real In recent months there’s been a spate of forums threads involving ‘hallucinated’ entitlements. This typically pans out as follows: The developer, or an agent working on behalf of the developer, changes their .entitlements file to claim an entitlement that’s not real. That is, the entitlement key is a value that is not, and never has been, supported in any way. Xcode’s code signing machinery tries to find or create a provisioning profile to authorise this claim. That’s impossible, because the entitlement isn’t a real entitlement. Xcode reports this as a code signing error. The developer misinterprets that error [1] in one of two ways: As a generic Xcode code signing failure, and so they start a forums thread asking about how to fix that problem. As an indication that the entitlement is managed — that is, requires authorisation from Apple to use — and so they start a forums thread asking how to request such authorisation. The fundamental problem is step 1. Once you start claiming entitlements that aren’t real, you’re on a path to confusion. Note If you’re curious about how provisioning profiles authorise entitlement claims, read TN3125 Inside Code Signing: Provisioning Profiles. There are a couple of ways to check whether an entitlement is real. My preferred option is to create a new test project and use Xcode’s Signing & Capabilities editor to add the corresponding capability to it. Then look at what Xcode did. You might find that Xcode claimed a different entitlement, or added an Info.plist key, or did nothing at all. IMPORTANT If you can’t find the correct capability in the Signing & Capabilities editor, it’s likely that this feature is available to all apps, that is, it’s not gated by an entitlement or anything else. Another thing you can do is search the documentation. The vast majority of real entitlements are documented in Bundle Resources > Entitlements. IMPORTANT When you search for documentation, focus on the Apple documentation. If, for example, you search the Apple Developer Forums, you might be mislead by other folks who are similarly confused. If you find that you’re mistakenly trying to claim a hallucinated entitlement, the fix is trivial: Remove it from your .entitlements file so that your app starts to build again. Then add the capability using Xcode’s Signing & Capabilities editor. This will do the right thing. If you continue to have problems, feel free to ask for help here on the forums. See the top of this post for advice on how to do that. [1] Xcode 26.2, currently being seeded as Release Candidate, is much better about this (r. 155327166). Give it a whirl! Commonly Hallucinated Entitlements This section lists some of the more commonly hallucinated entitlements: com.apple.developer.push-notifications — The correct entitlement is aps-environment (com.apple.developer.aps-environment on macOS), documented here. There’s also the remote-notification value in the UIBackgroundModes property. com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase — There’s no entitlement for in-app purchase. Rather, in-app purchase is available to all apps with an explicit App ID (as opposed to a wildcard App ID). com.apple.InAppPurchase — Likewise. com.apple.developer.storekit — Likewise. com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase.non-consumable — Likewise. com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase.subscription — Likewise. com.apple.developer.app-groups — The correct entitlement is com.apple.security.application-groups, documented here. And if you’re working on the Mac, see App Groups: macOS vs iOS: Working Towards Harmony. com.apple.developer.background-modes — Background modes are controlled by the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist, documented here. UIBackgroundModes — See the previous point. com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification — There’s no entitlement for this. VoIP is gated by the voip value in the UIBackgroundModes property. com.apple.developer.family-controls.user-authorization — The correct entitlement is com.apple.developer.family-controls, documented here. IMPORTANT As explained in the docs, this entitlement is available to all developers during development but you must request authorisation for distribution. com.apple.developer.device-activity — The DeviceActivity framework has the same restrictions as Family Controls. com.apple.developer.managed-settings — If you’re trying to use the ManagedSettings framework, that has the same restrictions as Family Controls. If you’re trying to use the ManagedApp framework, that’s not gated by an entitlement. com.apple.developer.callkit.call-directory — There’s no entitlement for the Call Directory app extension feature. com.apple.developer.nearby-interaction — There’s no entitlement for the Nearby interaction framework. com.apple.developer.secure-enclave — On iOS and its child platforms, there’s no entitlement required to use the Secure Enclave. For macOS specifically, any program that has access to the data protection keychain also has access to the Secure Enclave [1]. See TN3137 On Mac keychain APIs and implementations for more about the data protection keychain. com.apple.developer.networking.configuration — If you’re trying to configure the Wi-Fi network on iOS, the correct entitlement is com.apple.developer.networking.HotspotConfiguration, documented here. com.apple.developer.musickit — There is no MusicKit capability. Rather, enable MusicKit via the App Services column in the App ID editor, accessible from Developer > Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles > Identifiers. These app services are tied to your App ID on the server side, meaning that they have no presence in your code signature. com.apple.developer.shazamkit — There is no ShazamKit capability. Like MusicKit, this is an app service. com.apple.mail.extension — Creating an app extension based on the MailKit framework does not require any specific entitlement. com.apple.security.accessibility — There’s no entitlement that gates access to the Accessibility APIs on macOS. Rather, this is controlled by the user in System Settings > Privacy & Security. Note that sandboxed apps can’t use these APIs. See the Review functionality that is incompatible with App Sandbox section of Protecting user data with App Sandbox. com.apple.developer.adservices — Using the AdServices framework does not require any specific entitlement. [1] While technically these are different features, they are closely associated and it turns out that, if you have access to the data protection keychain, you also have access to the SE. Revision History 2026-04-23 Added com.apple.developer.shazamkit to the common hallucinations list. Added a little more info about app services. 2025-12-09 Updated the Xcode footnote to mention the improvements in Xcode 26.2rc. 2025-11-03 Added com.apple.developer.adservices to the common hallucinations list. 2025-10-30 Added com.apple.security.accessibility to the common hallucinations list. 2025-10-22 Added com.apple.mail.extension to the common hallucinations list. Also added two new in-app purchase hallucinations. 2025-09-26 Added com.apple.developer.musickit to the common hallucinations list. 2025-09-22 Added com.apple.developer.storekit to the common hallucinations list. 2025-09-05 Added com.apple.developer.device-activity to the common hallucinations list. 2025-09-02 First posted.

ShazamKit enabled on App ID but provisioning profiles do not include com.apple.developer.shazamkit entitlement
Hi, I’m a paid Apple Developer Program member and I’m seeing an entitlement issuance issue with ShazamKit. ShazamKit is enabled for my App ID (com.tomharris.dnbidfinder) in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. However, every iOS Development provisioning profile I generate does not include the entitlement: com.apple.developer.shazamkit verified this by decoding the downloaded .mobileprovision file: security cms -D -i .mobileprovision | /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :Entitlements" /dev/stdin The entitlement dictionary does not contain the ShazamKit key. Because of this: • The signed .app does not contain the Shazam entitlement • SHSession.match(signature) fails on device • I receive ShazamKit runtime error 201 / 212 I’ve already: • Toggled ShazamKit off and back on for the App ID • Created new provisioning profiles • Created a brand new App ID to test • Refreshed profiles in Xcode The portal UI shows ShazamKit as enabled, but the entitlement is not being issued into provisioning profiles. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there an additional approval step required for ShazamKit, or could this be a backend entitlement propagation issue? Thanks.

Provisioning profile missing com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement despite approved capability
My Family Controls (Distribution) capability request (C4N7962252) was approved March 15, 2026 for bundle ID com.jedsiegel.unplugtogether. All three Family Controls capabilities are enabled on the App ID. When I generate a provisioning profile (manual or automatic), Xcode reports: "Provisioning profile doesn't match the entitlements file's value for the com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement." I decoded the profile using security cms -D and found: com.apple.developer.family-controls.app-and-website-usage → present com.apple.developer.family-controls → missing entirely My entitlements file requires com.apple.developer.family-controls with value ["individual"] for AuthorizationCenter. I've tried toggling capabilities off/on, deleting and recreating profiles, switching between automatic and manual signing, and clearing provisioning profile caches. Nothing works because the profile generation itself is not including the entitlement. Team ID: Q4RA4WMD6K Xcode 26.3, targeting iOS 26.2 Has anyone encountered this? Is there a way to get the provisioning system to include this entitlement?

Disable “Save Password” Prompt While Keeping AutoFill Enabled
Hi Apple Developer Community, Quick question — is there currently a way to disable the “Save Password” prompt in iOS while keeping AutoFill enabled? From what I can see, the only available setting under Settings → Passwords → Password Options controls AutoFill as a whole, with no option to turn off just the save prompt. I’m using a third-party password manager and would prefer to keep AutoFill but avoid the repeated prompts to save credentials. Has anyone found a workaround for this, or is this simply not configurable at the moment? Thanks!

Using Xcode with Claude Opus 4.7
Has anyone got Xcode working with Opus 4.7? I have Claude Code running 4.7, but Xcode insists on running 4.6. Even working with Claude to try to configure Xcode doesn't work. Apparently Xcode does something that prevents using Opus 4.7. Any reason for this? Xcode has a really nice integration, but I guess It's bak to Terminal and Claude Code if I want to use the better Model. Anyone else got this working?

How to detect if a binding is from a state or a constant?
Hi, I'm trying to create a custom TextField component where we can have our own custom FormatStyle as a param and then it will change the value binding according to the FormatStyle. It worked with State<Any?> like for example $textValue. But when I use .constant(2000) for instance, the Formatting doesn't work. So is there any way to detect whether the value param is constant or not? Thank you.

Unable to Proceed Despite Accepting Apple Developer Program License Agreement
Hello everyone, I’ve been facing an issue for the past month related to the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. I am continuously seeing the following message in App Store Connect: "Agreement Update The Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been updated and needs to be reviewed. For more information, go to your account on the Apple Developer website." The problem is that I have already reviewed and accepted all available agreements multiple times from the Apple Developer account. Despite this, the message keeps appearing every day, and I am completely blocked from performing any actions such as: Uploading new apps Submitting app updates Managing existing app versions I have checked: Agreements section in both App Store Connect and Apple Developer portal Different browsers and devices Multiple logins/logouts Everything shows as accepted, but the issue still persists. Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there something I might be missing, especially in case of organization accounts or role-based permissions? Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

WeatherKit JWT token generation fails with WDSJWTAuthenticator Code=2 despite correct entitlement

Apple Developer Program Enrollment PROBLEM
Hello, I'm having a serious problem registering for the Apple Developer Program, and I can't resolve it. I applied over two weeks ago, but I still haven't received an activation email. I've also tried using different credit cards, suspecting there might be a problem with my payment method. The main issues are as follows: My order/registration remains in the "processing" status, I haven't received an activation email, Apple Developer Program support isn't responding. I've already sent over seven emails to support, but haven't received any response or updates. Has anyone else encountered a similar situation?

How to Indicate Selected State for a Menu Toolbar Item (Filter) in SwiftUI?
hi, On my page’s toolbar, I have a toolbar item that is implemented as a menu. Its purpose is to filter the content displayed on the page, similar to the filtering feature in the Photos app. When a user selects a filter option, I want the toolbar item to appear highlighted to indicate the active state. I came across the following guidance in the Human Interface Guidelines: Provide a selected-state version of an interface icon only if necessary. You don’t need to provide selected and unselected appearances for an icon that’s used in standard system components such as toolbars, tab bars, and buttons. The system updates the visual appearance of the selected state automatically. An image of two toolbar buttons that share a background. The left button shows the Filter icon in a selected state, using a blue tint color for its background. The right button shows the More icon in an unselected state, using the default appearance for toolbar buttons. In a toolbar, a selected icon receives the app’s accent color. However, I’m not sure how to actually implement or control the selected state for my toolbar item. Here is a snippet of my code: ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Section { LayoutPickerView(layoutOption: $layoutOption) } Section { SortPickerView(sortOption: $viewModel.sortOption) } Section { Menu { Toggle( isOn: Binding( get: { viewModel.filterPlatforms.isEmpty }, set: { if $0 { viewModel.filterPlatforms.removeAll() } } ) ) { HStack { Image(systemName: "square.grid.3x3") .resizable() .scaledToFit() .frame(width: 30, height: 30) Text(Localized.Content.filterAllPlatforms) } } .menuActionDismissBehavior(.disabled) Divider() ForEach(viewModel.availablePlatforms(from: contents)) { platform in Toggle(isOn: viewModel.platformBinding(for: platform)) { HStack { CachedPlatformIconView(urlString: platform.iconUrl, size: 30) Text(platform.name) } } .menuActionDismissBehavior(.disabled) } } label: { Text(Localized.Content.filterMenu) Text(viewModel.filterPlatforms.map(\.name).joined(separator: String(localized: Localized.Content.separator))) } if !viewModel.filterPlatforms.isEmpty { Button { viewModel.filterPlatforms.removeAll() } label: { Text(Localized.Content.filterClear) } } } } label: { Image(systemName: "line.3.horizontal.decrease") } }

Odd search results for my Yatzy game app
If you do a search on the App Store for my app name "YatzyVibe". My app is listed amongst 'baby' and 'pregnancy' apps. Does anyone know what is causing the App Store search process to list my YatzyVibe (dice game) app amongst 'baby' and 'pregnancy' apps? Why isn't it listed amongst Yatzy Game apps? My app name: YatzyVibe Subtitle: No internet needed! Keywords: offline,dice,yatzy,yahtzee,bluetooth,multiplayer,travel,cruise,plane,no internet,family Developer Name: Andrew W. Wesolowski Support URL: https://newbornsoftware.com Bundle ID: com.newbornsoftware.yatzyvibe My app Description does NOT contain any references to 'baby' or 'pregnancy' but does contain: Terms of Use (EULA): https://newbornsoftware.com/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://newbornsoftware.com/privacy.html Any suggestions on how I can resolve this issue so that: 1. A direct search for "YatzyVibe" takes a user directly to my app 2. Searching for my YatzyVibe app, will result in it being listed amongst other Yatzy type game apps and NOT 'baby' and 'pregnancy' apps. Any help would be appreciated. BTW... I did contact Developer Support via email and their response was not very useful (attached below): Thank you for contacting Developer Support, my name is Jessica and I am so happy to provide you with support today!

Live Caller ID Lookup entitlement request no response for 3+ weeks — Case #102823550184
Hello, I am hoping someone from Apple or the community can help escalate or advise on my situation. I submitted a Live Caller ID Lookup entitlement request for my app Zinfo (com.parastashvili.Mobile), Team ID: CNH4KYRW44. A support case was opened on February 17, 2026 (Case ID: 102823550184). Apple's documentation states entitlement review takes up to 2 weeks. It has now been over 3 weeks with no substantive response despite multiple follow-ups. Timeline: Feb 17: Case opened Feb 26: I provided all requested technical details in full — OHTTP endpoints, Privacy Pass token system, DNS TXT record, Apple test number (+1 408 555 1212 returning "Johnny Appleseed"), all fully deployed and ready for validation Feb 27: Apple replied with a generic "appropriate team will be in contact" message Feb 28, Mar 6, Mar 10: Follow-up emails sent — no meaningful response All technical requirements are fully implemented and operational. We are ready for Apple's validation at any time. Has anyone else experienced long delays with Live Caller ID Lookup entitlement reviews? Is there a better escalation path? I have also submitted a new escalation ticket (Case ID: 102840874265) under Development and Technical > Entitlements today. Any advice or visibility from Apple staff would be greatly appreciated. App: Zinfo (com.parastashvili.Mobile) Extension Bundle ID: com.parastashvili.Mobile.LiveCallerID Team ID: CNH4KYRW44

iOS 26.3.0 TextToSpeech EXC_BAD_ACCESS
Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm seeing a persistent crash in my iOS app reported via Firebase Crashlytics. The issue only started appearing on devices running iOS 26.3.0 and above (the crash does not occur on lower iOS versions, and it's unrelated to my app's version number). Key points: My app does NOT use any Text-to-Speech (TTS) features whatsoever. No AVSpeechSynthesizer, no Speech framework, no related APIs called from our code. My app is primarily written in Objective-C (with some Swift components possibly via dependencies). The crash stack is entirely within Apple's private TextToSpeech framework, specifically in ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance(). I suspect it might be indirectly triggered by a third-party ad SDK (e.g., Google Mobile Ads, AppLovin, etc.) that could be loading or interacting with accessibility features in the background — but this is just a hypothesis, as I have no direct evidence yet. Here is one representative crash log: Crashed: com.apple.root.user-initiated-qos.cooperative 0 TextToSpeech 0x6bb00 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 99800 1 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 2 TextToSpeech 0xf8c60 ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 677688 3 TextToSpeech 0x1a0b9c ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() + 1365620 4 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x628b4 swift::runJobInEstablishedExecutorContext(swift::Job*) + 288 5 libswift_Concurrency.dylib 0x63d28 swift_job_runImpl(swift::Job*, swift::SerialExecutorRef) + 156 6 libdispatch.dylib 0x13f48 _dispatch_root_queue_drain + 364 7 libdispatch.dylib 0x146fc _dispatch_worker_thread2 + 180 8 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x137c _pthread_wqthread + 232 9 libsystem_pthread.dylib 0x8c0 start_wqthread + 8 The crash occurs on a background cooperative queue (Swift Concurrency). Questions: Has anyone else seen crashes inside ausdk::BufferAllocator::instance() in TextToSpeech on iOS 26.3.0+ even without using TTS in their app? Could a third-party ad SDK be causing the TextToSpeech framework to load unexpectedly (e.g., via accessibility preloading)? Is this a known bug in iOS 26's Spoken Content / Speak Selection features? Any workarounds or fixes from Apple? Any insights, similar reports (especially from Objective-C based apps), or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Entitlement "com.apple.developer.carplay-driving-task" not allowing audio playback for voice controlled interaction
According to https://developer.apple.com/download/files/CarPlay-Developer-Guide.pdf , apps with entitlement com.apple.developer.carplay-driving-task are allowed to use voice control. In my current implementation the voice recording working fine but the voice response (AVPlayer with category "playback set") does not output any audio. I suspect that it is a entitlement limitation because if I quickly tap to play a music while the voice assistant AVPlayer is "playing", then I can hear the response, but without this trick it stays playing but mute. In parallel I have now requested com.apple.developer.carplay-voice-based-conversation entitlement , but I don't even know if when approved I will be able to use 2 entitlement for the same CarPlay app. Long story short: 1 - Should an app be able to play audio responses when it's CarPlay entitlement is com.apple.developer.carplay-driving-task? 2 - If not, can I combine entitlements com.apple.developer.carplay-driving-task and com.apple.developer.carplay-voice-based-conversation?

Xcode 26.4 productivity/UX regression.
I switch between Project / Tests / Breakpoints using top left pane 100s times a day. I also switch to search using CMD-Shift-F. In Xcode 26.4 I have to tap the <> to open menu. Is there a way to bring back the old behavior. Does any of the UX guys who worked on that feature use Xcode on daily basis? This is so bad :(

Orphaned 9GB Simulator Runtime in /System/Library/AssetsV2 - Cannot Delete (SIP protected)
I have an orphaned asset folder taking up 9.13GB located at: /System/Library/AssetsV2/com_apple_MobileAsset_iOSSimulatorRuntime/c0d3fd05106683ba0b3680d4d1afec65f098d700.asset It contains SimulatorRuntimeAsset version 18.5 (Build 22F77). Active Version: My current Xcode setup is using version 26.2 (Build 23C54). I checked the plist files in the directory and found what seems to be the cause of the issue: The "Never Collected" Flag: The Info.plist inside the orphaned asset folder explicitly sets the garbage collection behavior to "NeverCollected": <key>__AssetDefaultGarbageCollectionBehavior</key> <string>NeverCollected</string> The Catalog Mismatch: The master catalog file (com_apple_MobileAsset_iOSSimulatorRuntime.xml) in the parent directory only lists the new version (26.2). Because the old version (18.5) is missing from this XML, Xcode and mobileassetd seem to have lost track of it entirely. What I Have Tried (All Failed) Xcode Components: The version 18.5 does not appear in Settings -> Components, so I cannot delete it via the GUI. Simctl: xcrun simctl list runtimes does not list this version. Running xcrun simctl runtime delete 22F77 fails with: "No runtime disk images or bundles found matching '22F77'." Manual Deletion: sudo rm -rf [path] fails with "Operation not permitted", presumably because /System/Library/AssetsV2 is SIP-protected. Third-party Tools: Apps like DevCleaner do not detect this runtime (likely because they only scan ~/Library or /Library, not /System/Library). Has anyone found a way to force the system (perhaps via mobileassetd or a specific xcrun flag) to re-evaluate this folder and respect a deletion request? I am trying to avoid booting into Recovery Mode just to delete a cache file. Any insights on how AssetsV2 handles these "orphaned" files would be appreciated.

Programmatic IP Discovery for VZVirtualMachine in an App Store Sandbox
Hi everyone, I am developing a macOS virtualization manager (VirtualProg) using the Virtualization.framework. The application is distributed via the Mac App Store, so it operates strictly within the App Store Sandbox. I am looking for a reliable, programmatic way to discover the IP address assigned to a guest (both macOS and Linux). Is there a recommended "Sandbox-safe" API or pattern within the Virtualization framework—or a lower-level networking entitlement—that allows a host application to retrieve the guest's assigned IP address? Ideally, I am looking for a solution that does not require the user to manually install a non-sandboxed helper tool. Thanks in advance for any insights or guidance!

Provisioning profile missing `com.apple.developer.shazamkit` despite App Services checkbox enabled (Team MCN4U9B2K4)
Hi all, and particularly @Eskimo if you spot this — I believe I'm reproducing the backend issuance bug reported in thread 816377 (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/816377) on a different Team ID and would like a second pair of eyes before I burn a TSI. Feedback Assistant filed as FB22582333. Team ID: MCN4U9B2K4 · Bundle ID: com.michaeltocco.Sanbox · Xcode 17 · iOS 18.5 · Automatic signing Setup App ID com.michaeltocco.Sanbox has ShazamKit ticked in App Services; persists through portal reloads. Local entitlements file declares com.apple.developer.shazamkit = YES only (no MusicKit client entitlement, per DTS guidance in thread 799000: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/799000). CODE_SIGN_ENTITLEMENTS set in both Debug and Release XCBuildConfiguration buildSettings. NSMicrophoneUsageDescription and NSAppleMusicUsageDescription are both present in the generated Info.plist. What Xcode reports After wiping DerivedData and any Sanbox-matching profiles and running xcodebuild … -allowProvisioningUpdates -destination 'generic/platform=iOS': error: Entitlement com.apple.developer.shazamkit not found and could not be included in profile. This likely is not a valid entitlement and should be removed from your entitlements file. (in target 'Sanbox' from project 'Sanbox') What I verified on the profile Apple just issued $ security cms -D -i 0596f302-….mobileprovision | plutil -extract Entitlements xml1 -o - - shows only the baseline four entitlements — application-identifier, keychain-access-groups, get-task-allow, com.apple.developer.team-identifier. com.apple.developer.shazamkit is absent, which is exactly what thread 816377 describes. What I've already tried Deleted and recreated the App ID from scratch — same symptom. Performed the capability-toggle trick (uncheck ShazamKit → Save → wait 60s → re-check → Save → delete local profiles → rebuild) documented in the "Capability & entitlement updates" help page (https://developer.apple.com/help/account/reference/capability-entitlement-updates/) for the Game Center precedent — same symptom. Confirmed I am building for device, not Simulator. Confirmed the entitlement key name matches DTS guidance in thread 799000 and the live profile dumps in thread 816377. Runtime confirmation When I force a build with only the team wildcard profile, SHManagedSession().result() returns com.apple.ShazamKit Code=202 "Missing entitlements", wrapping an AMS 306 wrapping HTTP 401 from api.shazam.apple.com/v1/catalog/US/match. AMS server correlation key: E5VYL5YSUT4L55KQDDP4MJQAZE. So the server side is consistent: the token the client presents lacks ShazamKit scope because the binary doesn't carry the entitlement, and the binary doesn't carry it because Apple isn't issuing it into the profile. Question Is there a configuration step beyond "tick ShazamKit in App Services" that I've missed for Individual-program accounts, or is this the same backend issuance pathology as thread 816377? Happy to share the security cms output, the decoded plist, the build log, or anything else useful. Thanks.

Determining if an entitlement is real
This issue keeps cropping up on the forums and so I decided to write up a single post with all the details. If you have questions or comments: If you were referred here from an existing thread, reply on that thread. If not, feel free to start a new thread. Use whatever topic and subtopic is appropriate for your question, but also add the Entitlements tag so that I see it. Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = "eskimo" + "1" + "@" + "apple.com" Determining if an entitlement is real In recent months there’s been a spate of forums threads involving ‘hallucinated’ entitlements. This typically pans out as follows: The developer, or an agent working on behalf of the developer, changes their .entitlements file to claim an entitlement that’s not real. That is, the entitlement key is a value that is not, and never has been, supported in any way. Xcode’s code signing machinery tries to find or create a provisioning profile to authorise this claim. That’s impossible, because the entitlement isn’t a real entitlement. Xcode reports this as a code signing error. The developer misinterprets that error [1] in one of two ways: As a generic Xcode code signing failure, and so they start a forums thread asking about how to fix that problem. As an indication that the entitlement is managed — that is, requires authorisation from Apple to use — and so they start a forums thread asking how to request such authorisation. The fundamental problem is step 1. Once you start claiming entitlements that aren’t real, you’re on a path to confusion. Note If you’re curious about how provisioning profiles authorise entitlement claims, read TN3125 Inside Code Signing: Provisioning Profiles. There are a couple of ways to check whether an entitlement is real. My preferred option is to create a new test project and use Xcode’s Signing & Capabilities editor to add the corresponding capability to it. Then look at what Xcode did. You might find that Xcode claimed a different entitlement, or added an Info.plist key, or did nothing at all. IMPORTANT If you can’t find the correct capability in the Signing & Capabilities editor, it’s likely that this feature is available to all apps, that is, it’s not gated by an entitlement or anything else. Another thing you can do is search the documentation. The vast majority of real entitlements are documented in Bundle Resources > Entitlements. IMPORTANT When you search for documentation, focus on the Apple documentation. If, for example, you search the Apple Developer Forums, you might be mislead by other folks who are similarly confused. If you find that you’re mistakenly trying to claim a hallucinated entitlement, the fix is trivial: Remove it from your .entitlements file so that your app starts to build again. Then add the capability using Xcode’s Signing & Capabilities editor. This will do the right thing. If you continue to have problems, feel free to ask for help here on the forums. See the top of this post for advice on how to do that. [1] Xcode 26.2, currently being seeded as Release Candidate, is much better about this (r. 155327166). Give it a whirl! Commonly Hallucinated Entitlements This section lists some of the more commonly hallucinated entitlements: com.apple.developer.push-notifications — The correct entitlement is aps-environment (com.apple.developer.aps-environment on macOS), documented here. There’s also the remote-notification value in the UIBackgroundModes property. com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase — There’s no entitlement for in-app purchase. Rather, in-app purchase is available to all apps with an explicit App ID (as opposed to a wildcard App ID). com.apple.InAppPurchase — Likewise. com.apple.developer.storekit — Likewise. com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase.non-consumable — Likewise. com.apple.developer.in-app-purchase.subscription — Likewise. com.apple.developer.app-groups — The correct entitlement is com.apple.security.application-groups, documented here. And if you’re working on the Mac, see App Groups: macOS vs iOS: Working Towards Harmony. com.apple.developer.background-modes — Background modes are controlled by the UIBackgroundModes key in your Info.plist, documented here. UIBackgroundModes — See the previous point. com.apple.developer.voip-push-notification — There’s no entitlement for this. VoIP is gated by the voip value in the UIBackgroundModes property. com.apple.developer.family-controls.user-authorization — The correct entitlement is com.apple.developer.family-controls, documented here. IMPORTANT As explained in the docs, this entitlement is available to all developers during development but you must request authorisation for distribution. com.apple.developer.device-activity — The DeviceActivity framework has the same restrictions as Family Controls. com.apple.developer.managed-settings — If you’re trying to use the ManagedSettings framework, that has the same restrictions as Family Controls. If you’re trying to use the ManagedApp framework, that’s not gated by an entitlement. com.apple.developer.callkit.call-directory — There’s no entitlement for the Call Directory app extension feature. com.apple.developer.nearby-interaction — There’s no entitlement for the Nearby interaction framework. com.apple.developer.secure-enclave — On iOS and its child platforms, there’s no entitlement required to use the Secure Enclave. For macOS specifically, any program that has access to the data protection keychain also has access to the Secure Enclave [1]. See TN3137 On Mac keychain APIs and implementations for more about the data protection keychain. com.apple.developer.networking.configuration — If you’re trying to configure the Wi-Fi network on iOS, the correct entitlement is com.apple.developer.networking.HotspotConfiguration, documented here. com.apple.developer.musickit — There is no MusicKit capability. Rather, enable MusicKit via the App Services column in the App ID editor, accessible from Developer > Certificates, Identifiers, and Profiles > Identifiers. These app services are tied to your App ID on the server side, meaning that they have no presence in your code signature. com.apple.developer.shazamkit — There is no ShazamKit capability. Like MusicKit, this is an app service. com.apple.mail.extension — Creating an app extension based on the MailKit framework does not require any specific entitlement. com.apple.security.accessibility — There’s no entitlement that gates access to the Accessibility APIs on macOS. Rather, this is controlled by the user in System Settings > Privacy & Security. Note that sandboxed apps can’t use these APIs. See the Review functionality that is incompatible with App Sandbox section of Protecting user data with App Sandbox. com.apple.developer.adservices — Using the AdServices framework does not require any specific entitlement. [1] While technically these are different features, they are closely associated and it turns out that, if you have access to the data protection keychain, you also have access to the SE. Revision History 2026-04-23 Added com.apple.developer.shazamkit to the common hallucinations list. Added a little more info about app services. 2025-12-09 Updated the Xcode footnote to mention the improvements in Xcode 26.2rc. 2025-11-03 Added com.apple.developer.adservices to the common hallucinations list. 2025-10-30 Added com.apple.security.accessibility to the common hallucinations list. 2025-10-22 Added com.apple.mail.extension to the common hallucinations list. Also added two new in-app purchase hallucinations. 2025-09-26 Added com.apple.developer.musickit to the common hallucinations list. 2025-09-22 Added com.apple.developer.storekit to the common hallucinations list. 2025-09-05 Added com.apple.developer.device-activity to the common hallucinations list. 2025-09-02 First posted.

ShazamKit enabled on App ID but provisioning profiles do not include com.apple.developer.shazamkit entitlement
Hi, I’m a paid Apple Developer Program member and I’m seeing an entitlement issuance issue with ShazamKit. ShazamKit is enabled for my App ID (com.tomharris.dnbidfinder) in Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles. However, every iOS Development provisioning profile I generate does not include the entitlement: com.apple.developer.shazamkit verified this by decoding the downloaded .mobileprovision file: security cms -D -i .mobileprovision | /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :Entitlements" /dev/stdin The entitlement dictionary does not contain the ShazamKit key. Because of this: • The signed .app does not contain the Shazam entitlement • SHSession.match(signature) fails on device • I receive ShazamKit runtime error 201 / 212 I’ve already: • Toggled ShazamKit off and back on for the App ID • Created new provisioning profiles • Created a brand new App ID to test • Refreshed profiles in Xcode The portal UI shows ShazamKit as enabled, but the entitlement is not being issued into provisioning profiles. Has anyone experienced this before? Is there an additional approval step required for ShazamKit, or could this be a backend entitlement propagation issue? Thanks.

Provisioning profile missing com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement despite approved capability
My Family Controls (Distribution) capability request (C4N7962252) was approved March 15, 2026 for bundle ID com.jedsiegel.unplugtogether. All three Family Controls capabilities are enabled on the App ID. When I generate a provisioning profile (manual or automatic), Xcode reports: "Provisioning profile doesn't match the entitlements file's value for the com.apple.developer.family-controls entitlement." I decoded the profile using security cms -D and found: com.apple.developer.family-controls.app-and-website-usage → present com.apple.developer.family-controls → missing entirely My entitlements file requires com.apple.developer.family-controls with value ["individual"] for AuthorizationCenter. I've tried toggling capabilities off/on, deleting and recreating profiles, switching between automatic and manual signing, and clearing provisioning profile caches. Nothing works because the profile generation itself is not including the entitlement. Team ID: Q4RA4WMD6K Xcode 26.3, targeting iOS 26.2 Has anyone encountered this? Is there a way to get the provisioning system to include this entitlement?

Disable “Save Password” Prompt While Keeping AutoFill Enabled
Hi Apple Developer Community, Quick question — is there currently a way to disable the “Save Password” prompt in iOS while keeping AutoFill enabled? From what I can see, the only available setting under Settings → Passwords → Password Options controls AutoFill as a whole, with no option to turn off just the save prompt. I’m using a third-party password manager and would prefer to keep AutoFill but avoid the repeated prompts to save credentials. Has anyone found a workaround for this, or is this simply not configurable at the moment? Thanks!

Using Xcode with Claude Opus 4.7
Has anyone got Xcode working with Opus 4.7? I have Claude Code running 4.7, but Xcode insists on running 4.6. Even working with Claude to try to configure Xcode doesn't work. Apparently Xcode does something that prevents using Opus 4.7. Any reason for this? Xcode has a really nice integration, but I guess It's bak to Terminal and Claude Code if I want to use the better Model. Anyone else got this working?

How to detect if a binding is from a state or a constant?
Hi, I'm trying to create a custom TextField component where we can have our own custom FormatStyle as a param and then it will change the value binding according to the FormatStyle. It worked with State<Any?> like for example $textValue. But when I use .constant(2000) for instance, the Formatting doesn't work. So is there any way to detect whether the value param is constant or not? Thank you.

Unable to Proceed Despite Accepting Apple Developer Program License Agreement
Hello everyone, I’ve been facing an issue for the past month related to the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. I am continuously seeing the following message in App Store Connect: "Agreement Update The Apple Developer Program License Agreement has been updated and needs to be reviewed. For more information, go to your account on the Apple Developer website." The problem is that I have already reviewed and accepted all available agreements multiple times from the Apple Developer account. Despite this, the message keeps appearing every day, and I am completely blocked from performing any actions such as: Uploading new apps Submitting app updates Managing existing app versions I have checked: Agreements section in both App Store Connect and Apple Developer portal Different browsers and devices Multiple logins/logouts Everything shows as accepted, but the issue still persists. Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there something I might be missing, especially in case of organization accounts or role-based permissions? Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.
