“build disappears”

Apple has introduced the Wireless Insights Service Predictions capability in iOS 26. After prior alignment with Apple engineers, we are working to integrate this capability into the Douyin App, and intend to provide a TestFlight build for Apple engineers to validate and debug the integration. We have encountered a blocking issue with entitlement configuration: We use our Apple Developer Enterprise Program account to build and submit TestFlight builds. When we manually create and configure provisioning profiles via the Apple Developer Portal, the required entitlement key com.apple.developer.wireless-insights.service-predictions is not available for selection or inclusion in the profile's Entitlements. This completely blocks us from enabling, using, and validating the Wireless Insights Service Predictions capability. For comparison, when we use our Apple Developer Program individual account, the entitlement com.apple.developer.wireless-insights.service-predictions is fully available.

I am building a simple iOS app that shows the total phone usage time for today using the Screen Time APIs. Architecture: Main app → requests authorization using AuthorizationCenter.shared.requestAuthorization(for: .individual) → displays a DeviceActivityReport Report extension → DeviceActivityReportExtension → calculates total usage using DeviceActivityResults → shows the number in a SwiftUI view The report works correctly. The extension successfully calculates the total usage and displays it on screen. Example logic inside the report extension: for await activityData in data { for await segment in activityData.activitySegments { totalSeconds += segment.totalActivityDuration } } let totalMinutes = Int(totalSeconds / 60) The problem: I need the main app to access that number so I can store it daily in my own database. I tried to send the value from the extension to the main app using: App Group + UserDefaults(suiteName:) App Group + shared file (FileManager.containerURL) writing inside makeConfigurati

Hi everyone, I’m looking for some insight or advice on a persistent review delay. My app, has been stuck in the Waiting for Review status since Feb 9th. I thought it got glitched or whatsoever so I rejected and resubmitted a week ago March 2nd. and yet its still in waiting for review status. I applied for expedite review with case ID: 102825200414 I have already: Verified that all metadata is complete. Ensured there are no Action Required flags or Metadata Rejected notices. Checked that the Availability date is set to As soon as it is approved. Confirmed the build runs perfectly in TestFlight.

After reviewing the following Apple Technote, I have confirmed the statement below: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/technotes/tn3187-migrating-to-the-uikit-scene-based-life-cycle In the next major release following iOS 26, UIScene lifecycle will be required when building with the latest SDK; otherwise, your app won’t launch. While supporting multiple scenes is encouraged, only adoption of scene life-cycle is required. Based on the above, I would appreciate it if you could confirm the following points: Is my understanding correct that the term “latest SDK” refers to Xcode 27? Is it correct that an app built with the latest SDK (Xcode 27, assuming the above understanding is correct) will not launch without adopting the UIScene lifecycle, with no exceptions? Is it correct that an app built with Xcode 26 without UIScene lifecycle support will still launch without issues on an iPhone updated to iOS 27?

Hey everyone, I need to vent and also ask for some advice because I’m starting to lose my mind here. I submitted a new build for my app 10 days ago, and it has been stuck in Waiting for Review ever since. Not In Review, just waiting in the queue. The App ID is 6759559007 I get that Apple has millions of apps to sift through, but come on. The App Store is a core part of the iPhone experience, and having a review team that moves this slowly feels like a bottleneck that shouldn't exist in 2026. It’s especially frustrating because: There are no rejection messages, so I know it’s not a guideline issue. I have a planned marketing push that is now completely out of sync. There is zero transparency. The status just sits there mocking me. Any advice on how to actually get a human to look at this? Should I reject the binary and resubmit to bump it, or is that just sending me to the back of the line? Feeling pretty hopeless here. Any insights would be hugely appreciated. Thanks

I am submitting my first macOS app for notarization and all submissions have been stuck at In Progress for over 24-36 hours.

I’m interested in hearing what currently concerns other indie iOS developers, as 2026 feels both exciting and somewhat fragile to me, with the constant worry that an Apple account issue or unexpected rejection could undo years of hard work overnight. AI has made cloning apps easier than ever and even strong niches can quickly attract well funded competitors, so while I’m optimistic about building, these are the realities I often find myself thinking about.

Hello, I’m having an issue with my first subscription for my app WealthSlices, where the subscription appears correctly when testing locally from Xcode, but App Store reviewers appear unable to retrieve the product. Symptoms When I run the app from Xcode on my iPhone using the Sandbox environment: The subscription loads successfully. The purchase sheet appears. I can complete a sandbox purchase. However, when App Review tests the app, the paywall fails to load products and the app shows the following message: No Products found. Purchases are temporarily unavailable on this device. Environment App: WealthSlices Platform: iOS Testing locally via Xcode → Sandbox Apple ID Subscription type: Auto-renewable subscription Product: WealthSlices Basic ($9.99/month) StoreKit: StoreKit 2 Current build: 1.0.7 (Build 32) What works locally When running via Xcode: StoreKit successfully fetches products. The subscription sheet appears with the correct pricing. Sandbox purchase flow completes normally. What

This is my first driver and I have had the devil of a time trying to find any information to help me with this. I beg help with this, since I cannot find any tutorials that will get me over this problem. I am attempting to write a bridging driver for an older UPS that only communicates via RPC-over-USB rather than the HID Power Device class the OS requires. I have written the basic framework for the driver (details below) and am calling OSSystemExtensionRequest.submitRequest with a request object created by OSSystemExtensionRequest.activationRequest, but the didFailWithError callback is called with OSSystemExtensionErrorDomain of a value of 9, which appears to be a general failure to activate the driver. I can find no other information on how to address this issue, but I presume the issue is one of entitlements in either the entitlements file or Info.plist. I will have more code-based details below. For testing context, I am testing this on a 2021 iMac (M1) running Sequoia 15.7, and this iMac is on MDM, speci
