Clarification on APNs MDM Push Certificate per-customer requirement for MSP/multi-tenant MDM

Hello Apple Developer Community, We’re building an MDM product (SaaS, multi-tenant). I’d like clarification on the APNs MDM push certificate usage model for service providers (MSPs). Question: Is it acceptable for an MDM vendor to use a single APNs MDM push certificate owned by the vendor to manage devices for multiple, independent customer organizations? Or is it required/recommended that each customer (company) must obtain and use its own APNs MDM push certificate (issued under the customer’s Apple ID) for their tenant? Why we’re asking: We understand that many guides show the process where each customer logs into the Apple Push Certificates Portal with their own Apple ID, uploads a CSR provided by the MDM, and then renews yearly. Practically, for a small team and early-stage deployments, using one vendor-owned certificate across multiple tenants would be simpler. We want to ensure we’re not violating any policy, terms, or technical requirements (e.g., certificate ownersh

Request: Option to Disable PSVR2 Sense Controller Low-Power Mode on visionOS (ARKit + Vision Pro Development)

Hi everyone, We’re developing a Unity project for Apple Vision Pro that connects PSVR2 Sense controllers for advanced interaction and input. We’ve encountered a major limitation: when the controller is not held close to the designated hand (e.g., resting on a table or held by the non designated hand), the Sense controller enters a low-power or reduced-update mode. This results in noticeably reduced tracking update frequency and responsiveness until the controller is held again. For certain use cases, this behavior is undesirable. In our case, it prevents continuous real-time tracking of the controller even when it’s stationary or being tracked externally. Request: Please consider exposing an API flag or developer option in ARKit to disable and optionally delay the low-power mode when the app requires full-rate updates regardless of proximity or hand pose detection.

Reply to Request: Restore Launchpad Functionality or Allow Customizable App Organization in macOS Tahoe

Well the new Liquid Glass design language is also terrible. They have taken an elegant and refined UI and added quite superficial flourishes to it that just eats screen real estate and undermines legibility. And it's not even consistent! Even if the next MacBook has touch, as some rumors claim, this was NOT the way to accommodate it. But removing Launchpad actually removes useful functionality. I can't imagine how this was justified. In addition, search for apps is broken! This is a known bug and after weeks there is no Mac OS update in sight to fix it. This is negligent and incompetent conduct on Apple's part. I dont know what is going on inside the company but it's not good.

Request: Restore Launchpad Functionality or Allow Customizable App Organization in macOS Tahoe

With macOS Tahoe, Launchpad has been replaced by an App Library–style mode within Spotlight. While the alleged intention is UX consistency across the Apple ecosystem, the result is both a catastrophic usability regression and a radical break in consistency with iOS and iPadOS. Predefined App Library categorization is functionally incoherent: On iOS and now macOS, Apple’s predefined App Library categories place apps with seemingly identical functionality into unrelated groups—for example, 3D scanning tools scattered across Education, Utilities, and Productivity. Instead of making apps easier to find, this effectively creates a labyrinth that users must traverse to locate apps whose names and icons they may not recall. However Apple defines its app categories, they are not only inconsistent but also hopelessly inadequate for the long tail of real-world applications and user workflows. Loss of user control: Launchpad enabled users to group and organize applications according to their w

Reply to Rating modal in Apple Vision pro

Hi @AndreiAvram99 Thanks for the post. 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 and post the FB number here once you do. Bug Reporting: How and Why? has tips on creating your bug report. In the meantime, I confirmed (and suspect you already have too) the dialog displays correctly when requestReview is invoked from within a view displayed in a window or volume.

Is tap to pay still needed? i don't want to read passes from wallet nor accept payments. I want to use nfc card reader on the credit card from the bank i work for in the bank of the app i work for to validate the card and activate it. I don't see how it would be related to tap to pay or wallet. we already have apple pay setup but we still get an error about the entitlements missing. So i'm wondering which one i need and if i need to do a specific request to have them knowing we are a bank and already have com.apple.developer.payment-pass-provisioning

Apple CarPlay Notifications - Tap action handler

I am developing a CarPlay driving tasks app and is able to display push notifications on CarPlay. I am looking at a way to get a tap action handler for push notifications on CarPlay such that when a user taps the notification and by default the app opens, but I want to present a CPInformationTemplate with data corresponding to the tapped notification.

iOS26 UINavigationController swipe from middle on maps causing issue

I have a UINavigation controller which on the second viewController has a Google Map view. In iOS 18 you would navigate normally around the map, and swipe your finger from the left side of the screen to move the map, this worked correctly. However, in iOS 26 swiping from left to right from anywhere but the far right side of the screen will cause the UI to try to pop the viewController. This does not happen when I add Apple Maps or other map frameworks to the VC. Is there a way to disable the swipe from middle in iOS 26?

Unable to change App Tracking configuration

I have reached out to support and they simply tell me they are unable to help me, first redirecting me to generic Apple support, after following up they provided the explanation that they only handle administrative tasks and to post on the forums. I am unable to change my App Tracking Transparency it provides no real error, though network traffic shows a 409 HTTP response from the backend API when trying to save. Here is a screenshot of the result when trying to save. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get this resolved? I've commented back to the reviewers and they simply provided help documentation. I have a technical issue and am unable to get anyone to help resolve this.

Fitness app only shows data from Apple watch while Health app shows data from all sources. This is why you see a discrepancy.

Pending Termination Notice: Seeking Clarification on Linked Developer Accounts and Appeal Status

Hello everyone, I am the developer of a small app studio that has been creating and publishing apps on the App Store since 2017. Our main app recently reached the Top 5 in the Lifestyle category, serving thousands of paying subscribers and gaining around 15,000 new downloads per day until it was suddenly removed from the App Store along with our other apps. On October 11, 2025, I received a Pending Account Termination Notice for my main developer account. A few months earlier, on August 15, 2025, another account registered under my name had also received a pending termination related to Guideline 4.3(b) for a duplicate binary submission. That app was never live on the App Store. Once I realized the issue, I rejected the binary myself and stopped all activity on that account. I believe both accounts became linked because the same Apple ID and bank information were briefly used during setup. This may have caused Apple to associate the two accounts. Both accounts are fully verified legal entiti

SSL certificate failure

This problem doesn’t appear to relate to the app as everything worked when using http (although an https setup issue may still be the problem). The problem appears to relate to the SSL server certificate on the Ubuntu server and the fact that apple does not accept that it is secure. However I have no problem with the equivalent Android app or web browser connections to the same rest API web services. There are numerous posts on these problems on Apple and other Forums, but none have helped me successfully address the issue. I ran an SSL server test on https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/ which gives ratings for SSL sites. The test gave an A rating although a number of minor issues were shown that may be crucial to the iOS failure. Some Sectigo certificates said self signed, which I couldn't understand.

Reply to Request File Access from Unity for Apple Vision Pro

Thanks @DTS Engineer for your quick & detailed answer!! So, my immediate question here is what your larger goal here actually is? I am working on a Gaussian Splatting App using the UnityGaussianSplatting package and building for Apple Vision Pro. I want to be able to load splat (.ply / .splat) files from the Vision Pro's storage into the application. This won't work. The primary goal of the App Sandbox is to protect user data, which is exactly the kind of data you want access to. Yeah, that was also what I suspected. Hence my question what the intended way to access files from an app would be. apps get access to files through one of two broad mechanisms: Thanks for referring to these, I think I stumbled upon it while researching, but did not consider them further yet because they are solutions that require editing the code in Xcode. Which poses two problems for me: 1 - I don't have a lot of experience with Swift and how Xcode apps are structured. 2 - The Xcode project is generated from Unity, s
