App live and searchable in App Store, but not selectable in Apple Ads
Hello, my app is live on the App Store and can be found in App Store search. However, when I try to create an Apple Ads campaign, the app does not appear as a selectable app/promotion option. App name: Zenbara Apple ID: 6760915770 App Store URL: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/zenbara/id6760915770 Country/region: Germany The app is available in Germany and searchable in the App Store, but it is not available in Apple Ads campaign creation. According to Apple Ads Help, a new app can take up to 24 hours to appear during campaign creation. This period has already passed. Any of you has an idea why the app is missing from the Apple Ads eligibility index or campaign creation index? Thank you.

Hello, I'm trying to switch my membership from individual to organization and filled out the form. After submitting the form, the page says We’ll review your request and get back to you within one (1) business day. but the issue is they haven't responded in a month. this happened twice so far and i contacted Apple support and they haven't answered yet as well. Today, i re-submitted the form again and it still says the same thing. I don't know what to do. I want to publish an application and the process has stopped because of this. Can someone help me please? Thanks in advance.

App stuck in "Waiting for Review" for 4+ days — bug fix update
App name: Pandit AI Apple ID: 6752389345 Submitted: 19th May Current status: Waiting for Review (has not entered In Review) This is an update containing a bug fix for our live app. The build has been sitting in "Waiting for Review" for four days and has not yet been picked up by a reviewer. I've submitted expedited review requests, but the status hasn't changed. There are no messages in the Resolution Center and no communication from App Review. Is there a queue issue affecting this submission, or anything I can do to help it move forward? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thank you.

Xcode 26.5 downloads darwin-arm64 Claude Agent binary on Intel Macs, causing exec failure misreported as code-signing error (workaround verified)
Xcode 26.5 downloads darwin-arm64 Claude Agent binary on Intel Macs, causing exec failure misreported as code-signing error (workaround verified) On Intel Macs, Xcode 26.5 (build 17F42) downloads the darwin-arm64 build of the Claude Agent rather than the darwin-x64 build that the vendor publishes at the same version. The arm64 binary fails to exec on Intel with NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=86 ("Bad CPU type in executable") and Xcode's Intelligence subsystem then surfaces this in the UI as a code-signing / sandboxing failure. Replacing the downloaded binary with the parallel darwin-x64 build, and updating the agent's Info.plist checksum and URL to match, results in a fully functional Claude Agent in Xcode 26.5 on the same Intel Mac. This was verified end to end on the affected hardware. The agent downloader in Xcode should select the URL matching the host CPU architecture (e.g. by inspecting the result of uname -m or the equivalent in Foundation). This appears to be an isolated fix to whichever component constructs the agent's download URL in Xcode's Intelligence subsystem. Secondary suggestion: the user-facing error message "the code signing identity for the agent did not match expectations, or the agent violated sandboxing rules" should be revised when the underlying cause is an exec failure (EBADARCH or otherwise). The current wording is misleading and has produced considerable misdirected investigation in the developer community. USER-SIDE WORKAROUND (VERIFIED) The following restores Claude Agent functionality on this Intel Mac running Xcode 26.5. It may need re-applying after Xcode updates the agent, since the buggy download logic will run again. Quit Xcode. Download the parallel darwin-x64 binary from the vendor's release bucket (the same URL as in the Info.plist, with "darwin-arm64" replaced by "darwin-x64"). Make the destination writable, copy in the new binary, restore read-only mode. Recompute SHA-512 and update Info.plist's checksum and url fields with plutil. Relaunch Xcode. Workaround for Intel Mac users (verified) This restores a working Claude Agent in Xcode 26.5 on Intel until Xcode'sdownloader is fixed. Quit Xcode fully first. 1. Quit Xcode osascript -e 'tell application "Xcode" to quit' sleep 3 2. Download the correct-arch binary directly from Anthropic's release bucket curl -fL -o /tmp/claude-x64\ttps://storage.googleapis.com/claude-code-dist-86c565f3-f756-42ad-8dfa-d59b1c096819/claude-code-releases/2.1.118/darwin-x64/claude chmod +x /tmp/claude-x64 3. Verify it's the right arch and properly signed file /tmp/claude-x64 # → Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 codesign --verify --verbose /tmp/claude-x64 4. Replace the arm64 binary Xcode downloaded (destination is read-only by default) AGENT_DIR=~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/XcodeVersions/17F42/claude chmod u+w "$AGENT_DIR/claude" cp -p /tmp/claude-x64 "$AGENT_DIR/claude" chmod a-w "$AGENT_DIR/claude" 5. Update Info.plist so its checksum and URL match the swapped binary NEW_CHECKSUM=$(shasum -a 512 "$AGENT_DIR/claude" | awk '{print $1}') plutil -replace checksum -string "$NEW_CHECKSUM" "$AGENT_DIR/Info.plist" plutil -replace url -string "https://storage.googleapis.com/claude-code-dist-86c565f3-f756-42ad-8dfa-d59b1c096819/claude-code-releases/2.1.118/darwin-x64/claude" "$AGENT_DIR/Info.plist" 6. Relaunch Xcode; the Claude Agent now works on Intel. Caveats Adjust 17F42 and 2.1.118 to whatever your Xcode build and agent version actually are. Check with ls ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/XcodeVersions/ and the version key in the Info.plist. The workaround may not survive an Xcode update. If Xcode refreshes the agent (new Claude Code version, new Xcode point release), the buggy download logic will run again and overwrite the x86_64 binary. The same procedure restores working state. Worth saving the commands above as a small shell script so you don't have to re-derive them next time. ENVIRONMENT Hardware: MacBook Pro 2019, Intel Core i9 (x86_64) macOS: 26.5 Xcode: 26.5 (build 17F42) Agent: Claude Code 2.1.118 Account: Claude Pro (claude.ai OAuth) I have tried unsuccessfully to request via 'Apple Feedback Assistant' that the above problem be looked into. This was their response: "Thank you for your feedback, it is noted. Engineering has determined that there are currently no plans to address this issue. This feature relies on the dedicated Neural Engine found on Macs with Apple silicon (M1 or newer) to provide the necessary performance and capabilities. As a result, systems that do not include this hardware are not supported for this specific workflow. You can close this feedback by selecting "Close Feedback" via the Actions button found above. This Feedback will no longer be monitored, and incoming messages will not be reviewed. " Clearly no one from the senior engineering team has looked at this or given it any consideration and they are not interested in making a trivial fix within Xcode so that it selects the correct Claude binary for download. It is frustrating that Apple's response cites the requirement for a 'neural engine found in M-series Macs' , when this is very clear to any developer that Claude does not make use of this feature and it self-evidently works on x86 hardware without it . If anyone has any ideas how to get a response from a helpful senior Xcode developer, I would be most interested. I can understand Apple are reluctant to put any effort into old hardware, however they still provide an up to date Xcode for the x86 platform and I don't think it is asking too much to fix a simple bug which would make life easier.

Xcode 26: The horror of S-L-O-W T-Y-P-I-N-G returns
FB22844728 Xcode 26.5, macOS 26.5, MacStudio M1 64 GB The disaster of S-L-O-W T-Y-P-I-N-G that plagued Xcode several years ago returns. I guess all the ultra-advanced LLM neuroneirowebs still can't advise those at Apple who develop the Xcode app how to provide this uber-exotic, unheard-of functionality: JUST TYPING THE CODE. This disaster doesn't affect all projects, but it does affect the exact one I'm working on, and I need to type a lot of code there. Significant time is already wasted. I performed all the recommended steps like relaunching, restarting, and deleting deprived data with no effect. Hope something can be done about it..

Apple Developer Program Enrollment — Payment Processed, Account Still Pending After 3+ Days Hello Apple Developer Support and community, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual and my payment of $99 was successfully processed several days ago. However, my account at developer.apple.com/account still shows my enrollment as pending with no activation. Enrollment details: • Enrollment type: Individual • Payment status: Successfully charged • Time since payment: 3+ days (well past the stated 48-hour processing window) • Two-Factor Authentication: Enabled • Follow-up communication received from Apple: None I am actively developing a cross-platform application that is already in internal testing on Google Play. I need access to App Store Connect and TestFlight to begin iOS beta testing with users who are waiting. This delay is directly impacting my development timeline and my ability to gather feedback from iOS testers. I have not received any emails requesting additional documentation or verification. I have not clicked "Complete your purchase" again to avoid a duplicate charge. Could an Apple team member please review my enrollment and advise on what may be needed to complete activation? I am happy to provide any additional information or documentation required. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Apple Developer Program Enrollment Still Processing – No Updates After Several Days
Hello everyone, I’m posting here because I’m waiting for an update regarding my Apple Developer Program enrollment. My enrollment currently shows: “Your enrollment is being processed.” My Enrollment ID is: 35QVL65M9K I submitted my enrollment several days ago and I haven’t received any email updates or requests for additional information yet. I wanted to ask if anyone from Apple Support or a community admin could please check my case status, or let me know if anything else is needed from my side to continue the review. If additional documents or verification are required, I’m happy to provide them. Thank you very much for your help.

Make voice biometrics a way to unlock the phone
OK hello Apple developers, and whoever else is reading, I am a quadriplegic. This means I cannot use my fingers. So therefore I cannot pick up the phone. That means I cannot pick up the phone for Face ID which is biometric, fingerprint which is biometric, I believe the eye is biometric. So is the voice. That is how I have to login to my brokerage firms multiple bank account. Anything super secure I can use my voice as a password. It's super simple. Just add and the code and write it so therefore it is as simple as saying something to the effect of "hey seri my voice is my password. A few simple lines of code written by Apple expert this should not be hard at all and should be included in an update. Just think how would you use your phone if you could not pick it up. I cannot put Apple Pay i cannot secure on my phone because I cannot lock it because I cannot pick it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Unable to complete Apple Developer Program enrollment payment (Turkey region)
Hello, I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program (Individual) from Turkey, but the payment is repeatedly declined at the final step. My bank confirms there is no problem on their side and that the charge is not being declined by them. What I have already tried, all with the same result: Multiple cards from 3 different banks 3 different browsers, plus Linux, Windows, and an iPhone The Apple Developer iOS app (as suggested by Apple Support over email) Matching the billing address exactly to my account address Removing Turkish characters from my name This looks like the known issue currently affecting Turkey-based enrollments, as many other developers are reporting the same problem in these forums. Could a member of Apple staff please review my account and manually process the enrollment if needed? Account email: omerfarukunlu@ proton.me Region: Turkey Enrollment type: Individual Support case ID (varsa): 102892859221 Thank you for your help.

Can't save version when build is attached in ASC
I've got an app. I've gone to AppStore Connect and filled in everything I can think of (screenshots, encryption status, privacy nutrition label, description, categories, everything), and I can save. I want to actually get the thing submitted at least so beta testers can get it, and when I attach a build, the save button just goes to red bordered with an exclamation point in it. I don't see any error messages anywhere or underlined things. I've asked ChatGPT and Claude for guidance and tried all the things the mentioned, and I have had no luck. I've also tried three different builds -- one of them is about a month old at this point. I've tried contacting support for the last month with no luck. How can I figure out what's wrong so I can fix it?

TestFlight build install fails 'app not available' (internal) and Submit for Review returns generic error (external) — both persist 9 days
Hi DTS team, We have a TestFlight build that is stuck in two ways simultaneously, suggesting a server-side state issue on the build or the account. This has now persisted for over a week with no usable response from Apple Support, so I'm escalating here in the hope of getting an engineer's attention. App: HAVN 360 Apple ID: 6769371655 Bundle ID: com.havn.member Team ID: XTRZ36RKU8 Build: 1.0.0 (1) — Binary State: Validated, status "Testing", expires in 81 days SYMPTOM 1 (internal testing): Build is attached to the internal group "Team (Expo)" with a green check. TestFlight on iPhone (UAE storefront, account-holder's Apple ID (redacted — visible to Apple via Team ID) shows HAVN 360 with an Install button. Tapping Install returns: "Could not install HAVN 360. The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." Already attempted: Removed all prior dev builds and provisioning profiles Signed out / back into Media & Purchases Full device restart Repeated after Agreements, DSA, App Privacy and Test Information were all confirmed Active / Published SYMPTOM 2 (external testing): Submitting the same build to external group "HAVN Friends Beta" via TestFlight > group > Builds > + > What to Test > Submit for Review returns: "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later." Reproduced across browsers and fresh sessions for 9 days. VERIFIED CLEAN: App Information: category Health & Fitness, content rights No, age rating set, copyright set App Privacy: declared and Published, privacy URL provided Test Information: complete (description, feedback email, privacy URL, contact info) Pricing and Availability: configured, app available in UAE DSA Compliance: Active (Not a Trader) Free Apps Agreement: Active Developer Program membership: Active, renews May 2027 ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption: false SUPPORT EXPERIENCE SO FAR: A free-tier App Review support ticket was filed on 14 May 2026. Apple's auto-reply quoted a 2-business-day SLA. It has now been 9 days (more than a full working week) with no substantive response — only the initial acknowledgement. The Code-Level Support form does not accept this issue type because there is no applicable Xcode sample project (it is an App Store Connect / TestFlight infrastructure issue, not a code defect). I have no remaining first-party support channel to use, which is why I am posting here. For a paying Apple Developer Program member trying to ship a beta, this is a difficult position to be left in. I would really appreciate a DTS engineer reviewing the server-side state for this build / app / team and identifying what is stuck. Both symptoms suggest the same underlying cause — most likely a flag on the build's distribution metadata or an entitlement state that needs to be cleared. Happy to provide any further diagnostic information needed. Thanks, Godwin

Please make Siri a real search engine
I am a quadriplegic. That means when I ask Siri something she comes back with an answer saying this is what I found on the web. This means nothing to me because I cannot use my fingers to pick up the phone. I I get a better and more detail from Alexa or Google nest. Go ahead and Google and or and Apple AI actually intelligent

Make voice biometrics a way to unlock the phone
OK hello Apple developers, and whoever else is reading, I am a quadriplegic. This means I cannot use my fingers. So therefore I cannot pick up the phone. That means I cannot pick up the phone for Face ID which is biometric, fingerprint which is biometric, I believe the eye is biometric. So is the voice. That is how I have to login to my brokerage firms multiple bank account. Anything super secure I can use my voice as a password. It's super simple. Just add and the code and write it so therefore it is as simple as saying something to the effect of "hey seri my voice is my password. A few simple lines of code written by Apple expert this should not be hard at all and should be included in an update. Just think how would you use your phone if you could not pick it up. I cannot put Apple Pay i cannot secure on my phone because I cannot lock it because I cannot pick it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Unable to complete Apple Developer Program enrollment payment (Turkey region)
Hello, I am trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program (Individual) from Turkey, but the payment is repeatedly declined at the final step. My bank confirms there is no problem on their side and that the charge is not being declined by them. What I have already tried, all with the same result: Multiple cards from 3 different banks 3 different browsers, plus Linux, Windows, and an iPhone The Apple Developer iOS app (as suggested by Apple Support over email) Matching the billing address exactly to my account address Removing Turkish characters from my name This looks like the known issue currently affecting Turkey-based enrollments, as many other developers are reporting the same problem in these forums. Could a member of Apple staff please review my account and manually process the enrollment if needed? Account email: omerfarukunlu@ proton.me Region: Turkey Enrollment type: Individual Support case ID (varsa): 102892859221 Thank you for your help.

Can't save version when build is attached in ASC
I've got an app. I've gone to AppStore Connect and filled in everything I can think of (screenshots, encryption status, privacy nutrition label, description, categories, everything), and I can save. I want to actually get the thing submitted at least so beta testers can get it, and when I attach a build, the save button just goes to red bordered with an exclamation point in it. I don't see any error messages anywhere or underlined things. I've asked ChatGPT and Claude for guidance and tried all the things the mentioned, and I have had no luck. I've also tried three different builds -- one of them is about a month old at this point. I've tried contacting support for the last month with no luck. How can I figure out what's wrong so I can fix it?

TestFlight build install fails 'app not available' (internal) and Submit for Review returns generic error (external) — both persist 9 days
Hi DTS team, We have a TestFlight build that is stuck in two ways simultaneously, suggesting a server-side state issue on the build or the account. This has now persisted for over a week with no usable response from Apple Support, so I'm escalating here in the hope of getting an engineer's attention. App: HAVN 360 Apple ID: 6769371655 Bundle ID: com.havn.member Team ID: XTRZ36RKU8 Build: 1.0.0 (1) — Binary State: Validated, status "Testing", expires in 81 days SYMPTOM 1 (internal testing): Build is attached to the internal group "Team (Expo)" with a green check. TestFlight on iPhone (UAE storefront, account-holder's Apple ID (redacted — visible to Apple via Team ID) shows HAVN 360 with an Install button. Tapping Install returns: "Could not install HAVN 360. The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." Already attempted: Removed all prior dev builds and provisioning profiles Signed out / back into Media & Purchases Full device restart Repeated after Agreements, DSA, App Privacy and Test Information were all confirmed Active / Published SYMPTOM 2 (external testing): Submitting the same build to external group "HAVN Friends Beta" via TestFlight > group > Builds > + > What to Test > Submit for Review returns: "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later." Reproduced across browsers and fresh sessions for 9 days. VERIFIED CLEAN: App Information: category Health & Fitness, content rights No, age rating set, copyright set App Privacy: declared and Published, privacy URL provided Test Information: complete (description, feedback email, privacy URL, contact info) Pricing and Availability: configured, app available in UAE DSA Compliance: Active (Not a Trader) Free Apps Agreement: Active Developer Program membership: Active, renews May 2027 ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption: false SUPPORT EXPERIENCE SO FAR: A free-tier App Review support ticket was filed on 14 May 2026. Apple's auto-reply quoted a 2-business-day SLA. It has now been 9 days (more than a full working week) with no substantive response — only the initial acknowledgement. The Code-Level Support form does not accept this issue type because there is no applicable Xcode sample project (it is an App Store Connect / TestFlight infrastructure issue, not a code defect). I have no remaining first-party support channel to use, which is why I am posting here. For a paying Apple Developer Program member trying to ship a beta, this is a difficult position to be left in. I would really appreciate a DTS engineer reviewing the server-side state for this build / app / team and identifying what is stuck. Both symptoms suggest the same underlying cause — most likely a flag on the build's distribution metadata or an entitlement state that needs to be cleared. Happy to provide any further diagnostic information needed. Thanks, Godwin
