Description: I’m developing a tvOS app using SwiftUI where we play background audio (music) in the Welcome screen, with support for offline playback via local caching. 🔹 Feature Overview App fetches audio metadata from API Starts streaming audio (HLS .m3u8) immediately In parallel, downloads the raw audio file (.mp3) Once download completes: Switches playback from streaming → local file On next launch (offline mode), app plays audio from local storage 🔹 Issue This flow works perfectly on the Simulator, but on a real Apple TV device: Audio plays for a few seconds (2–5 sec) and then stops Especially after switching from streaming → local file No explicit AVPlayer error is logged Playback sometimes stops after UI updates or periodic API refresh 🔹 Implementation Details Using AVPlayer with AVPlayerItem Background audio controlled via a shared manager (singleton) Files stored locally using FileManager (currently using .cachesDirectory) Switching playback using: player.replaceCurrentItem(with: AVPlayerI

Ive paid the 99$ fee almost 6 days ago while it said 48h and i’ll get the progra.. well i haven’t recived nothing, I’ve contacted apple support nearly 5 times, Guess what? No response. ive called their support “uhm sorry im not working in the development team sent us an email“ lmao tried yall are ignoring ur clients which is disappointing.. any ideas of what can i do next to GET access to my account which ive paid for?

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.

I have a client who previously uploaded the app via TestFly and is now claiming that I did nothing and that the app has problems. Is there a report from Apple that can help me refute his claim?

I have now paid $300 over 2 weeks to enroll in Apple developer. I have spoken with Apple customer support and they state that they can’t help and that it is the delinquent Apple developer support team that has the enrollment bugged. They are not responded to contact. Resolve this issue for me and others ASAP.

Bug Report Environment 4× HomePod mini, audioOS 26.4 (23L243) iPhone, iPad, Mac – all running latest OS versions (iOS/iPadOS/macOS 26) iCloud account active, Shortcuts sync enabled on all devices Summary Siri no longer executes custom Shortcuts on any HomePod mini. Instead, the HomePod responds with built-in Siri answers or refers to the internet, as if no custom Shortcuts were registered. The same Shortcuts work correctly via Siri on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Reproducible Test Case Created a new Shortcut named Lemon Blue Seven from scratch – no resemblance to any built-in Siri command, single action: spoken text output. Result: Mac: recognized and executed correctly via Siri iPhone / iPad: recognized and executed correctly via Siri (after re-registration, see below) All 4 HomePod mini: not recognized – Siri responds as if the Shortcut does not exist Steps to Reproduce Create a new Shortcut with a unique name and a single spoken output action Ensure iCloud Shortcuts sync is active on all devices Invoke via Siri
