nable to Distribute iOS App to App Store – Archive Shows Only 'Distribute Content'

Hello Apple Developer Support Team, I am writing to request assistance with an issue preventing me from distributing my iOS app to the App Store. I am able to successfully build and archive my app in Xcode without errors. However, after archiving, Xcode only shows the option “Distribute Content” instead of “Distribute App”. Because of this, I am unable to upload the app to App Store Connect.

Clarification Needed: histogrammedTimeToFirstDraw vs histogrammedOptimizedTimeToFirstDraw in MetricKit

Hi Apple Developer Community, I'm implementing MetricKit launch performance tracking in our iOS app and need clarification on two properties: histogrammedTimeToFirstDraw histogrammedOptimizedTimeToFirstDraw The Documentation Problem: The official MetricKit documentation provides minimal explanation of these properties beyond their names. Based on naming conventions, I initially assumed: histogrammedTimeToFirstDraw = cold launches histogrammedOptimizedTimeToFirstDraw = warm/optimized launches Based on our measurements: The “optimized” metric appears only in a small fraction of launches The optimized metric is actually slower The naming suggests the opposite behavior Questions: What specific launch conditions does each metric measure? Why would optimized launches be slower and less frequent? Is histogrammedOptimizedTimeToFirstDraw related to iOS app pre-warming or prediction features? If these metrics don’t correspond to cold vs. warm launch times, is there an alternative way to measure them accurately

iOS React Native: Can two WebRTC stacks (Wazo & Jitsi) share media?

Hi everyone, I’m building a React Native iOS app where I’m integrating Wazo (native WebRTC) and Jitsi (WebView / WebRTC). Use case: Wazo is used to maintain a background call session (mainly signaling + audio keep-alive). Jitsi is used in the foreground for video calls. Problem: When Jitsi starts, it takes control of the microphone and camera. The Wazo call disconnects after ~5 minutes (likely due to media / audio session conflict). Even if Wazo audio/video is muted or tracks are disabled, the session still drops. My questions: Is it officially supported or recommended to run two WebRTC stacks (Wazo + Jitsi) simultaneously on iOS? Can Wazo stay connected without active audio/video tracks while Jitsi uses mic/camera? Is there a way to release Wazo media streams temporarily (but keep signaling alive) while Jitsi is loading or active? Are there any AVAudioSession / background mode limitations on iOS that make this impossible by design? If this is not supported, what is the recommended architecture (sing

XCTest resources aren't being copied into place correctly

So I have a project with an Objective-C framework which has unit tests. One of the unit tests has a file 'sample.emlx' in its 'Resources' folder, which has its target membership set to the tests target. I expect this file to be copied into the correct place, such that I can find it (in the 'setup') method with: NSBundle *bundle = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[self class]]; NSString *path = [bundle pathForResource:@sample ofType:@emlx]; NSData *content = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:path]; NSString *entire = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:content.bytes]; _sample = [entire componentsSeparatedByString:@n]; NSLog(@sample lines: %d, (int)_sample.count); The idea is to make an array where I can pull various subsections of lines out to test various parts of the code. This works every time, if I set a breakpoint at the create the NSBundle line, and single-step through the code after right-clicking on the specific test method I want to run It never works if I just right-click on the specific test metho

Is Picture in Picture supported for WebRTC / WebView video on iOS (outside app)?

Hello, I am implementing video calling on iOS and need to support Picture in Picture (PiP) behavior similar to FaceTime or WhatsApp. What works Audio continues correctly in background CallKit UI works as expected Video works correctly while the app is in the foreground What I’m trying to achieve When the user presses the Home button or switches apps, I want to show a system Picture in Picture window (floating video outside the app). Current setup Video is rendered via WebRTC The video is displayed inside a WKWebView (HTML / JavaScript) PiP works only while the app is foregrounded When the app backgrounds, the video disappears (only audio remains) Questions Does iOS support system Picture in Picture for: WebRTC video WKWebView / HTML video 2 Is AVPictureInPictureController limited only to: AVPlayerLayer AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer 3 If PiP requires native rendering: Is it mandatory to render WebRTC frames natively using AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer? Is PiP explicitly unsupported for WebView / HTML video?

Unable to download iOS simulator runtime 26.x on Xcode

Hi everyone, I'm experiencing a persistent issue for months now where I'm unable to download the iOS 26 simulator Runtime. I've tried reinstalling Xcode and also Xcode Beta but same issue. iOS 26 Simulator is also not on developers download page, so manual installation is impossible.

Activating a Container App from a Custom Keyboard Extension to Enable Continuous Voice Input While Preserving the Original Typing Context

Project Background： I am developing a third-party custom keyboard for iOS whose primary feature is real-time voice input. In my current design, responsibilities are split as follows: 1. The container (main) app is responsible for: Audio recording Speech recognition (ASR) 2. The keyboard extension is responsible for: Providing the keyboard UI Initiating the voice input workflow Receiving transcription results via an App Group Inserting recognized text into the active text field using textDocumentProxy.insertText(_:) Intended User Flow The intended workflow is: The user is typing in a third-party app (for example, WeChat) using my custom keyboard. The user taps a “Voice Input” button in the keyboard extension. The keyboard extension activates the container app so that audio recording and ASR can begin. After recording has started, control returns to the original app where the user was typing. The container app continues running in the background, maintaining active audio recording and ASR.

Reply to Cannot repurchase subscription SKU — StoreKit keeps returning old expired transaction

Had the same problem. The problem is in unfinished transactions. They should be finished (if it make sense). We did two things to fix this issue: Call transaction.finish() for inside loop for await transaction in Transaction.updates Not all non-finished transactions exist in Transaction.updates. So we also finish transactions from Transaction.unfinished. This fixed the issue.

Developer ID signing identities are precious. See The Care and Feeding of Developer ID for a lot more background on that issue.

The majority of unable to build chain to self-signed root problems are caused by a missing intermediate. I talk about this in detail in Fixing an untrusted code signing certificate. Its focus is on code-signing certificates, but the same logic applies to installer-signing certificates as well. Note It’s perfectly feasible for your Developer ID Application and Developer ID Installer certificates to be issued via different intermediates, and that would explain the behaviour you’re seeing here.

Reply to iOS UserDefaults Intermittently Returns Nil After getPreferences() Call - Race Condition?

Looking at the code you posted, the only way [1] that preferences can be nil at line 15 is if your decoded object code fails. You didn’t show that code, so it’s hard to tell what’s going on there. It sounds like you can reproduce this reasonably reliably. Given that, you can debug this using logging. I have general advice on that topic in Testing and Debugging Code Running in the Background. IMPORTANT It’s time to stop using NSLog habitually. Rather, use print(…) for transient debugging and Logger for debugging that you want to keep in your codebase (or for cases like this, where you need to debug without Xcode being attached). Share and Enjoy — Quinn “The Eskimo!” @ Developer Technical Support @ Apple let myEmail = eskimo + 1 + @ + apple.com [1] Well, not the only way. You could be dealing with an issue that’s outside of the scope of the Objective-C / Swift execution models, like a memory corruption problem. However, let’s rule out the easy things first (-:

What's Wrong with Apple Review?

I submitted a new app in the morning of December 30th, last year. A reviewer picked it up 2 days ago and then rejected it by saying that the Send button remains disabled. Of course, it remains disabled because the user is supposed to select a message out of 300 of them. The app comes with a how-to-use guide, which states that you need to select a message by tapping the Select button. Now, the reviewer is MIA. I don't necessarily blame the reviewer for not having read the user guide thoroughly. But I wonder why they don't just ask instead of jumping to a conclusion? They often reject the app for simple reasons these days. And they are often wrong. I understand that everybody makes a mistake. But they are wrong 4 out of 5 times. Last year, a reviewer rejected the app by saying that the user is not able to ask a question at the support site when in fact it was just the matter of scrolling down further. This is the type of reasons I strongly suggest they ask instead of jumping to a conclusion and then re
