build disappears

Dear Apple Customer Support, I’m developing a new Swift iPadOS app and I want the app to run in landscape only (portrait disabled). In Xcode, under Target > General > Deployment Info > Device Orientation, if I select only Landscape Left and Landscape Right, the app builds successfully, but during upload/validation I receive this message and the upload is blocked: “Update the Info.plist: Support for all orientations will soon be required.” Could you please advise what the correct/recommended way is to keep an iPad app locked to landscape only while complying with the current App Store upload requirements? Is there a specific Info.plist configuration (e.g., UISupportedInterfaceOrientations~ipad) or another setting that should be used? Thank you,

I've been working on UI Tests for a month or two and things have been great. But I believe there was a recent update to Xcode [running Version 26.2 (17C52)] and since then about 80% of the time when I try to view the test results so I can see the screenshots and video, Xcode crashes hard and I have to open it again. I've tried cleaning the Build folder and Derived Data and all sorts of stuff like that. Restarted Xcode, restarted my computer, etc. Any idea of how I can avoid these crashes?

Hello, We're developing endpoint security software using the Endpoint Security framework, and we've encountered challenges with the behavior change in macOS 15 regarding provisioning UDIDs in cloned VMs. The Change Prior to macOS 15, cloning a VM preserved its UDID (format: 0000FE00-9C4ED9F68BBDC72D). Starting with macOS 15, cloned VMs receive a new UDID generated from the host's Secure Enclave (format: b043d27202c7ac37ca3c6b82673302225485cae9), making each clone effectively a new device. Our Workflow We maintain a clean base VM image and clone it for each test run. We add the base VM's UDID to our provisioning profile once, then create clones which (previously) retained that same UDID, allowing us to start new testing cycles without re-registering devices. This is essential because our product involves low-level system integration through the Endpoint Security framework, and if something goes wrong during development, it has the potential to affect system stability. To prevent any cascading issues between te

One of the biggest ongoing frustrations with Apple’s App Review process is inconsistency across builds of the same app version. We regularly encounter the following situation: A build of a new version is reviewed and approved. Shortly after, we submit another build of the same version, often containing only a minor bug fix. This second build is suddenly rejected for an issue that was never mentioned in the previously approved build. After explaining the situation and resubmitting, the build is usually approved. While this may seem manageable on paper, in practice it causes unnecessary delays, especially for time-critical patches and hotfixes that need to reach users quickly. The core issue is predictability: If a guideline violation exists, it should be identified consistently across all builds of that version. If functionality is effectively unchanged, review outcomes should not vary based on reviewer interpretation. Developers should not have to

I have a Apple Developer accounts for development purposes only and that is also used for testing builds via TestFlight. Is the Age Ratings Responses updates due by the end of January 2026 still required even to send builds to TestFlight?

Hi everyone, I’ve completely removed my App Clip: Deleted all Advanced App Clip Experiences Removed the App Clip target from my build Removed App Clip references from my apple-app-site-association file Deleted the meta tag from my website: However: When scanning the QR code, the App Clip card still appears with: This App Clip is not currently available in your country or region. This link still works for my App Clip, which is not what I expected: https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=com.example.appclip Does anyone know why the App Clip card is still showing and how to fully remove it? Thanks!

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?

SKStorefront.countryCode always returns US in TestFlight and sandbox, even when sandbox Apple ID is set to a different country. Is this expected behavior? Is SKStorefront guaranteed to return the correct storefront only for production App Store builds?
