Native Wind Animation Layer for Apple Maps / MapKit
Hey Apple team, I'd love to see a native wind animation layer added to Apple Maps and MapKit. A built-in, system-level wind visualization — similar to the animated weather layers seen in third-party apps — would be an incredibly powerful tool for developers building weather, aviation, marine, outdoor recreation, and navigation apps. Having this baked natively into MapKit would mean smoother performance, better battery efficiency, and a consistent experience across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS — rather than every developer having to reinvent the wheel with custom particle systems or third-party SDKs. Please Apple — this would be a fantastic addition to the Maps ecosystem. 🌬️🗺️

test NEAppProxyProvider without MDM?
This discussion is for iOS/iPadOS. I've written an NEAppProxyProvider network extension. I'd like to test it. I thought that using the NETestAppMapping dictionary was a way to get there, but when I try to instantiate an NEAppProxyProviderManager to try to install stuff, the console tells me must be MDM managed and I get nowhere. So can someone tell me, can I at least test the idea without needing to first get MDM going? I'd like to know if how I'm approaching the core problem even makes sense. My custom application needs to stream video, via the SRT protocol, to some place like youtube or castr. The problem is that in the environment we are in (big convention centers), our devices are on a LAN, but the connection from the LAN out to the rest of the world just sucks. Surprisingly, cellular has better performance. So I am trying to do the perverse thing of forcing traffix that is NOT local to go out over cellular. And traffic that is completely local (i.e. talking to a purely local server/other devices on the L

DSA "In Review" for 41 days — App blocked in all 27 EU countries — No response to support case
Hi, My Digital Services Act compliance submission has been stuck In Review since February 13, 2026 — that is 41 days with no update. As a result, my app Move Together (Move Club) is completely blocked in all 27 EU App Store territories during this entire period. What I've done: Submitted DSA trader information on Feb 13, 2026 Submitted support request on March 19 → Case ID: 102848525554 → zero response Submitted second support request today (March 26) via App Setup → Availability and Pricing Phone callback option is not available for this topic App Store Connect Business → Agreements → Compliance still shows: Digital Services Act | 27 Countries | Last Updated: Feb 13, 2026 | Status: In Review I've seen multiple threads here with the same issue. One developer confirmed their DSA was already approved on Apple's backend but not reflecting in App Store Connect — this was resolved via a phone callback. I am unable to get a phone callback for this topic. Can someone from Apple please manually chec

Reply to 3.2(f) triggered — account pending termination despite repeated attempts to comply
They only tell you how you violate review guidelines. They won't tell you how you should make changes so that you will pass the review process. It's been like that for the past 15 years or longer. We only pay $99 annually. So it shouldn't be a surprise. If you need to find out how you should make changes, I'm afraid you need to hire a consultant. I get that they won’t provide step-by-step instructions, but pointing out specific elements that are considered non-compliant would benefit both sides. When the feedback is just “overtly sexual,” it’s hard to know what that actually refers to, whether it’s the imagery, VO, copy, or even the character relationships. Since only Apple knows where they draw that line, having more specific guidance would significantly reduce the number of resubmissions and make the process more efficient for all. As well as prevent good intentioned developers from having their accounts terminated.

IOS Swift touch screen issue
MyOwnKeyboard Pad app has 4 text views with textfields that use touch screen for editing. There is one view, Compose, that has a textfield and a textview (UIRepresentable). The app enters text into the view using textfield buttons. The app has total control of editing. When entering text if the screen is touched it conflicts the cursor position and creates an out of bounds failure. In that view the app does not need any touch events. I need a method in UIRepresentable to disable the touch event. I am not familiar with UIRepresentable as this code was provided by Apple to solve a 16 bit unicode character issue. What would be the code to disable touch events in the UIRepresentable compose view. The app is free for a while until this problem is fixed. It is for iPads 11+ . The name in the app store is MyOwnKeyboard Pad. I know some great engineer will find the answer. DTS tried. Thanks to all, maybe I'll sell some. Charlie 25mar26

Reply to Monitor mode capture broken with Wi-Fi 7 (M5 Pro MacBook Pro) on macOS 26 - worked previously on same OS with older hardware
I’ve also spent some time investigating this. While monitor mode works, setting the channel using CoreWLAN’s [CWInterface setWLANChannel:error:] API does not behave as expected. As a result, capturing isn’t reliable for third-party apps on Macs with the Apple N1 Wi-Fi chip or the MacBook Neo. I've identified and submitted two issues: FB22295165: [CWInterface setWLANChannel:error:] does not work on a disassociated interface, even though the documentation indicates it should, and it behaves correctly on older Macs. FB22295685: Once in monitor mode, [CWInterface setWLANChannel:error:] reports a successful channel change and the interface reflects the requested channel, but capturing continues on a different channel (usually the channel the interface was operating on previously to being placed in monitor mode). There also appears to be a race condition between entering monitor mode and macOS attempting to rejoin a network shortly after calling [CWInterface disassociate]. While I can’t confirm this defini

Reply to Advanced App Clip Experiences stuck in "Received" — never transition to "Published"
Thanks Albert. The AASA is publicly accessible with no blocking, no IP filtering, and no user agent restrictions: https://fanarchy.fans/.well-known/apple-app-site-association Apple's own CDN already has the current version synced: https://app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1/fanarchy.fans So the AASA sync is working — the issue is the experiences stuck in Received and not transitioning to Published. We're also seeing inconsistent behavior across devices. QR code scans for the same URL work on some devices but show App Clip not available on others. For example, it works on an iPhone but fails on an iPad — same URL, same network, both fresh devices that have never had our app installed. Interestingly, when we removed /next-game from the App Clip entry in our AASA, QR codes started falling through to Safari where our Smart App Banner meta tag (apple-itunes-app with app-clip-bundle-id) successfully triggers the App Clip card. This workaround is functional but shouldn't be necessary.

Hey @THeberlein, This is unexpected behavior. Our engineering teams need to investigate this issue, as resolution may involve changes to Apple's software. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could open a bug report; please include a link to your webpage and a sysdiagnose from your Vision Pro captured after this occurred, and post the FB number here once you do. Instructions on capturing a visionOS Sysdiagnose can be found on the Profiles and Logs webpage. Bug Reporting: How and Why? has tips on creating your bug report. Thanks for your help, Michael

Thanks for the post, interesting that's something in the process. TN3168: Making your App Clip available in the App Store | Apple Developer Documentation https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/804858 There is something I always like to check when deploying AASA files. When the full app is installed, iOS handles the URL invocation locally via your apple-app-site-association (AASA) file and entitlements, bypassing the need to query Apple's App Clip CDN. The fact that this works proves your code, AASA file, and associated domains are configured correctly. The failure for fresh devices is happening because Apple's CDN has not yet been updated with your App Clip's metadata? Can you provide me a link to your AASA file in your server so we can see why is not syncing into the Apple servers? Is your server preventing or blocking IP address or user agents from requesting the AASA file? Sometimes, the job queue in App Store Connect simply drops the task. You can often forc

Reply to Family Controls Entitlement NOT applied to App Extensions (and Support Form is broken)
Dear Apple Entitlements Team, My app FocusPact (Bundle ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact) has already been approved for the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement. To resolve a critical bug where restricted apps remain unlocked after the user's Pact period ends, I have implemented a DeviceActivityMonitorExtension. This extension is essential for the app's core functionality to re-enable shields automatically. Could you please authorize the following new Bundle ID for the same Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement? New Extension ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor Parent App ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact Thank you for your continued support in helping me complete my MVP. Sincerely, Kent Hayashi

Reply to macOS App: In-App Purchases section missing from version page - IAPs stuck for 3+ days, 4 app versions approved but IAPs never reviewed
Our IAPs are stuck on In Review and Waiting for Review Waiting for Review: You have submitted your In-App Purchase to be reviewed by Apple. You can make edits to the product while it is in this status. In Review: Your In-App Purchase product is currently being reviewed by Apple. Only edits to the product’s reference name, pricing, and availability can be made when it has this status. This creates a deadlock because we cannot attach them since the section does not show, and the section does not show because they are not Ready to Submit. There is no need since you already submitted them for review. When submitting an In-App Purchase or subscription for the first time, you must submit it with a new app version. If there are multiple In-App Purchases or subscriptions related to that version, submit all of them together. Once App Review approves one or more In-App Purchases or subscriptions for your app, you can submit more In-App Purchases or subscriptions without a new app version. For more inf

Reply to Allow editing posts for longer on the Developer Forums
Some people have recommended switching to the Discourse forum software used by other forums like the Swift forums. It allows editing posts for longer and has an edit history feature. Discourse also has many other features that the Apple Developer Forums don't have.

An Apple person occasionally mentions a sit-down review session. Probably, that's what you want. I don't remember the exact session title, though.

Payment Confirmed but Apple Account Still Locked – No Support Response
I received the email confirming that I paid for my Apple account, but my account was never unlocked. I’ve already sent emails and requested phone support, but I haven’t been able to get help through any of these methods. I paid with my Visa card. Does anyone know what to do? Has anyone experienced this?
