build disappears

Hello, I am unable to submit ANY of my apps for External TestFlight review. Every time I try to add a build to an external group and press Submit for Review, I immediately get this error: There was an error processing your request. Please try again later. This happens on multiple apps in the same account: LM Mobile (Apple ID: 6755979316) TPM Mobile (newly created app) All of the following have been verified and are active: Paid & Free App Agreements Banking & Tax forms App Privacy (Published) Test Information is fully completed Multiple clean builds uploaded (1.0.0 build 1 and 2) Correct distribution via App Store Connect selected in Xcode Admin + Account Holder role This clearly confirms that the problem is ACCOUNT-LEVEL on the backend. Case Number: 102766190091 Could an Apple engineer please check and reset the stuck External TestFlight submission state on the server side? Thank you.

Hi Apple Developer Forums, I’m developing an iOS camera app that processes RAW captures using Core Image. I’m seeing a large “first use” performance penalty specifically when creating the CIImage from CIRAWFilter.outputImage. What’s slow (important detail) I’m measuring the time for: let rawFilter = CIRAWFilter(imageData: rawData, identifierHint: hint) let ciImage = rawFilter.outputImage This is not CIContext.render(...) / createCGImage(...). It’s just the time to access outputImage (i.e., building the Core Image graph / RAW pipeline setup). Observed behavior First time accessing CIRAWFilter.outputImage: ~3 seconds Second time (same app session, similar RAW): ~3 milliseconds So something heavy is happening only on first use (decoder initialization, pipeline setup, shader/library compilation, caching, etc.). Using Metal System Trace, I also noticed that during the slow first call there are many “Create MTLLibrary” events, while the second call doesn’t show this pattern. Warm-up attempts using bundled

I’ve been building iOS apps since 2011, took a 4-year break, returned with two new apps, and it feels like organic visibility and indexing have changed drastically compared to earlier releases. Has anyone else noticed slower indexing, fewer automatic mentions, and almost zero organic traction—has discovery changed, or is it just saturation?

I'm trying to download an iOS Simulator runtime in Xcode 26.2 or 26.1 on macOS 26.1, but the download keeps failing with the following error: Download failed.

Hi everyone 👋 I’m fairly new to iOS development and I’ve been stuck on a SwiftUI issue for a while now, so I’m hoping someone here can spot what I’m doing wrong. I’m using navigationTransition(.zoom) together with matchedTransitionSource to animate navigation between views. The UI consists of a grid of items (currently a LazyVGrid, though the issue seems unrelated to laziness). Tapping an item zooms it into its detail view, which is structurally the same view type and can contain further items. All good expect that interactive swipe-back sometimes causes the item to disappear from the grid once the parent view is revealed. This only happens when dismissing via the drag gesture; it does not occur when using the back button. I’ve attached a short demo showing the issue and the Swift file containing the relevant view code. Is there something obvious I’m doing wrong with navigationTransition / matchedTransitionSource, or is this a known limitation or bug with interactive swipe-back? Thanks in advance. i

When creating an icon using icon composer, I cant upload a build to testflight/App Store connect. Running on device from Xcode works fine, but as soon as I archive and upload to App Store Connect, I get an error saying the icon contains an alpha channel

I'm building a progressive web app (PWA) and came to the conclusion that almost nobody knows that this feature exists - Add to Home Screen. Not many people even understand what a PWA is or that you can add it to the home screen. This feels unnatural compared to installing an app from a store. Why do we make it so hard for users? Could we not make this easier by having the ability to call this installation or show an install notification? Right now, when users visit a PWA on iOS, there's no way for developers to let them know they can install it. The Add to Home Screen option is tucked away in the Share menu, and most users never find it. I'd really like to be able to show them a friendly prompt. Comparing to other browsers, this is possible via the beforeinstallprompt event. This would make a huge difference for user experience. Right now the only way is to show iOS users a separate set of instructions with screenshots, which feels clunky compared to what's possible on other platforms. I'm curious -

Hi! I would like to experiment with the Accessory Setup Kit, but I am not sure how I can add the required entitlement to my Apple Developer account. I added the following to the plist file: NSAccessorySetupKitSupports WiFi NSAccessorySetupWiFiSSIDPrefix test_ test And the following to the entitlements file: com.apple.developer.accessory-setup-kit But I am unable to build as my provisioning profile doesn't include com.apple.developer.accessory-setup-kit entitlement. On the developer portal, I navigated to “Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles” > “Identifiers” > “”, but I don't see it under Capabilities or App services, nor under requests. How do I configure my profile so that I am able to make use of this kit?

Can't Edit Age Ratings in App Information Section of App Store Connect for released App Versions. I only have option to View. I think some of the Age Rating questions are still unanswered but when I view them, I can't Edit them. Non-released apps of mine in App Store Connect allow me to edit answers to the Age Ratings questions but I can only View Age Rating questions for released apps. Do I have to create a new version/build and submit to App Store Connect to be able to Edit the Age Questions?

Problem: custom icons for folder aliases not showing System drive and external drive custom alias folder icons don't showup on desktop or external drive (OS14.6 Sonoma 2023); they only show-up as plain folders or with an odd document icon. Alias doesn't connect to image; however it's there, easily accessible via spacebar. Finder doesn't save the custom icon to the alias. See below for workaround. Summary: I have custom alias icons on my desktop linking to their source files on the system drive and external drive.. however they do not display the custom icon. After upgrading from OS10.14 Mojave to OS14.6 Sonoma 2023, system drive & external drive custom alias icons no longer display the icon on either drive (there is a work-around for Mojave; see history section). Personal impact: hampered file navigation and workflow; I'm lost, can't tell where anything is; not having my icons makes it especially difficult to navigate my files and hampers my workflow significantly. Desired outcome: all custom icons for fo
