Starting with iOS 26.4 and the iOS 26.4 SDK, the .pauses audiovisual background playback policy is not correctly applied anymore to an AVPlayer having an attached video layer displayed on screen. This means that, when backgrounding a video-playing app (without Picture in Picture support) or locking the device, playback is not paused automatically by the system anymore. This issue affects the Apple TV application as well. We have filed FB22488151 with more information.

Hello, I’m experiencing a serious issue with TestFlight. I correctly set up internal testing: • Added testers via email • Assigned builds • Everything shows as “Ready to Test” However, when trying to install via TestFlight, I get: “App Name couldn’t be installed” “The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist” ⚠️ Important note: This issue is NOT limited to a single app. It happens across all apps in my account. So it does not seem to be app-specific. What I’ve already checked: • Agreements, Tax, and Banking are completed • App Privacy is fully filled • Builds are successfully uploaded and selected • I am correctly added as an internal tester • Tried logging out/in of TestFlight • Reinstalled the app and TestFlight I contacted Apple Developer Support twice but received no response. Has anyone experienced this issue affecting multiple apps? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. ⸻ Additional technical details: • Developer Account Apple ID: yilmaz34muhammed(at)icloud.com • Ap

Hi everyone, I started enrolling in the Apple Developer Program but accidentally entered an incorrect address during the process. Now the enrollment form seems to be stuck/cached, and I’m unable to proceed or correct the information. I’ve already contacted Apple Developer Support and requested a reset, but haven’t received a response yet (it’s been several business days). This issue is completely blocking my enrollment. Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there any way to reset the enrollment process or update the information from my side? Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I’m currently implementing Live Activities in my music app to display real-time lyrics on the Lock Screen. The app works fully offline, so I’m not using push updates or push tokens. Instead, I’m updating the Live Activity locally as each new line of lyrics is played (essentially near real-time updates synced with the song). However, I’m running into an issue where the Live Activity UI is not updating reliably or frequently enough. Even though I’m calling the update method for each lyric line, the changes are either delayed or not reflected at all. Here’s some additional context: • The app runs fine in the background (verified via battery usage and playback behavior) • Live Activity is successfully created and initially displayed • Updates are triggered locally (no push notifications involved) • Updates are happening quite frequently (per lyric line) • No crashes or errors are observed My questions: 1. Is there a system-imposed throttling limit on how frequently Live Activities can be updated loca

I'm working on an app, and currently, 2 things dont work: account creation and notifications. I want to find the root of why these errors are occurring, and I want to know if these errors are coming from Firebase, certain settings in Xcode not being checked, or my actual written code not being typed correctly. I've tried to run my issue through ChatGPT many times to pretty much no success, so any help on what to do so I can clear certain areas and make sure the bugs aren't from certain spots, and help me narrow down the issue would be great. Otherwise, if there are other guides or threads I can be linked to, and help me fully break down the issue, that would be great. Thank you for your time reading, and I hope I can get some advice.

Submitted my app and it was approved by Apple. I then downloaded it from the app store and went through onboarding however when I tried to complete a purchase it failed. Went back to app store connect and saw that there is an issue with my subscriptions. Says localization is rejected but does not provide any reason why. Any ideas?? Everything worked fine with sandbox account.
