[quote='818269021, anonymousdev332299, /thread/818269, /profile/anonymousdev332299'] is both a Developer ID certificate and Apple notarization required on current macOS versions? [/quote] Yes. Developer ID signing has been required for a long time (10.8?). Notarisation for apps has been required since 10.14. [quote='818269021, anonymousdev332299, /thread/818269, /profile/anonymousdev332299'] Is [ditto] necessary to properly preserve the app bundle structure and extended attributes? [/quote] Yes and no. If you compress with the Finder then extended attributes get sequestered, which is not good. See Extended Attributes and Zip Archives. The ditto tool doesn’t do that by default. However, in an ideal world this wouldn’t matter because your code signature should not depend on extended attributes. If you find that it does, that suggests your have a bundle structure problem. We talk about this more in TN3126 Inside Code Signing: Hashes and Placing content in a bundle. As to what’s actually happening here, it’s hard

Does app review depend on app reviewers availability? And holidays etc? Yes, of course. If there are no reviewers available, then there is no one to review your app. And yes, Apple does regularly shut down app reviews for significant holidays. IS there a maximum number of days that an app has to be reviewed before end of that period? In other words: if an app is posted, a review HAS TO HAPPEN before x days, is a rule (hopefully) or no? Nobody outside of Apple knows Apple's internal app review procedures. However, we can make logical inferences. Let's suppose there is a rule that a review HAS TO HAPPEN before 10 days. OK, then. Now let's suppose that doesn't happen. We can suppose that because obvious you wouldn't be asking otherwise. 😄 Does your app get automatic approval? Obviously not. Is the app reviewer who didn't make quota subject to some kind of internal discipline, and possible reassignment, or even termination? Sure. That's possible. Then your app would be reassigned to a new reviewer, who hopefully

Xcode Cloud has the Metal toolchain ready for use without any additional installation required. If you remove these commands from your ci_pre_xcodebuild.sh script, does your build succeed? — Ed Ford,  DTS Engineer

We started experiencing a similar issue on the day iOS 26.4 Beta 1 was released (2026/02/18). Firebase Analytics is reporting a large number of duplicate in_app_purchase events for some users starting from that day. A few things we've observed: All of the affected transactions are non-consumable items. The duplicated events are triggered right after the process starts. All affected users are on iOS 26.4 So far we haven’t been able to reproduce it locally. It might be because our tests are using the sandbox or because our debug builds are compiled with Xcode 26. So I can't say for sure if it's exactly the same issue as yours, but it looks quite similar.
