Hi everyone, We’re facing an issue while trying to change the Primary Language / Primary Locale of a long-standing live iOS app in App Store Connect. The app has been live for 4–6+ years. When attempting to update the Primary Locale from App Information, we receive the following error: “Primary Locale couldn’t be saved because you must first provide all the required screenshots for each version in this language.” However: The target localization (English – UK) already exists. All required screenshot sets are uploaded. No screenshot sections are blank (iPhone and iPad – all visible display sizes). Both the live version and the version in review contain complete screenshot sets. No Apple Watch or iMessage extensions are currently included in the build. A clean build has been uploaded and selected. Removing the version from review does not resolve the issue. There are no visible validation errors in the UI. This appears to be either: A hidden backend validation requirement, A legacy platform association

Hello Apple Developer Support, We are observing inconsistent behavior with push notification sounds routing to Bluetooth / external speakers. Our app sends push notifications with a custom sound file using the sound parameter in the APNs payload. When an iPhone is connected to a Bluetooth speaker or headphones: On some devices, the notification sound plays through the connected Bluetooth/external speaker. On other devices, the notification sound plays only through the iPhone’s built-in speaker. We also tested with native apps like iMessage and noticed similar behavior — in some cases, notification sounds still play through the phone speaker even when Bluetooth is connected. Media playback (e.g., YouTube or Music) routes correctly to Bluetooth, so the connection itself is functioning properly. We would like clarification on the following: Is this routing behavior expected for push notification sounds? Are notification sounds intentionally restricted from routing to Bluetooth in certain conditions (e.g

Environment: Device: MacBook Pro (Mac16,7) Chip: M4 Pro (SoC ID 6040, Revision 11) OS: macOS 15.2 (24C101) Kernel: Darwin Kernel Version 24.2.0; root:xnu-11215.61.5~2/RELEASE_ARM64_T6041 Summary: I am developing a Windows emulator on the MacBook Pro M4 Pro platform. During testing with certain applications, the system frequently triggers an instantaneous reboot. This issue appears to be highly specific to the M4 Pro hardware and current OS version. Observation & Diagnostic Challenges: Upon reboot, the system generates a bug_type 210 (SoC Watchdog Reset) report. The panic string indicates: Unexpected SoC (system) watchdog reset occurred after panic diagnostics were completed. The primary difficulty in debugging is that the hardware reset happens so rapidly that the kernel fails to capture a stackshot or any detailed panic trace. We have practically no actionable information from the standard diagnostic reports. However, we did find the following recurring entries in the system log prior to the resets: Igno

We are encountering a build and archive failure in Xcode after updating our development machine to macOS 26.2. Environment: macOS: 26.2 Xcode: 16.2 iOS Deployment Target / Runtime: iOS 18.5 App Type: Production iOS app (App Store distribution) Issue: Before updating macOS, the project built and archived successfully. After the macOS 26.2 update, archiving fails consistently, even though no major changes were made to the project code or configuration. Certificates, provisioning profiles, and signing settings are correctly configured. The issue appears to be related to the macOS/Xcode environment rather than application logic. Steps to Reproduce: Open the existing iOS project in Xcode 16.2. Select the App Store distribution scheme. Attempt to Archive the project. Archive/build fails. Expected Result: Successful archive allowing upload to App Store Connect. Actual Result: Archive fails after macOS 26.2 update. Additional Info: This post is linked to Apple Developer Technical Support Case-ID: 18413014.

I have paid apple developer program membership successfully two days ago(individual account) but my account is still PENDING. I have sent form to apple but no respsone.

We received many great questions from the community during Code-along: Experiment with coding intelligence in Xcode 26. Here are the highlights from the questions submitted by the audience during the event. What models does coding intelligence features support In Xcode? Xcode integrates directly with ChatGPT and Claude user accounts. You can also configure Xcode to integrate any model provider that supports the Chat Completions API, such as models that you access with an API key. You can also download and run a local model on a Mac with Apple silicon. Setting up coding intelligence provides all of the information you need to get started with Xcode’s direct integration with ChatGPT and Claude, as well as how to set up Xcode to access other providers. Does Coding Intelligence have access to Apple API and developer documentation? How does it stay up to date with the latest SwiftUI API? Coding agents are great because they talk to a model, generate code and fix errors, but they also have access

Apple's iCloud File Management documentation says to avoid special punctuation or other special characters in filenames, but doesn't specify which characters. I need a definitive list to implement filename sanitization in my shipping app. Confirmed issues Our iOS app (CyberTuner, App Store, 15 years shipping on App Store) manages .rcta files in the iCloud ubiquity container via NSFileManager APIs. We've confirmed two characters causing sync failures: Ampersand (&): A file named Yamaha CP70 & CP80.rcta caused repeated couldn't be backed up dialogs. ~12 users reported this independently. Replacing & resolved it immediately. No other files in the same directory were affected. Percent (%): A file with % in the filename was duplicated by iCloud sync (e.g., filename% 1.rcta, filename% 2.rcta), and the original was lost. Currently reproducing across multiple devices. Both characters have special meaning in URL encoding (% is the escape character, & is the query parameter separator), which su

Hey folks, I work as a software development consultant. We develop enterprise applications for our clients, and the apps we create are usually for internal use. We've ran into a bit of a conundrum with a client who doesn't have their own Apple Enterprise account, and neither do we as we don't meet the criteria, but they're wanting to distribute an application we've built for them via their own MDM software. We are not entirely sure how to provide them with a distribution ready .ipa file that isn't AdHoc and will be recognized as a secure app. We've looked into generating a Developer ID provisioning profile and accompanying cert, however we're running into a problem where the platform of our app (iOS) doesn't match the platform required by the Developer ID profile (macOS). I've also come across the idea of resigning an .ipa, but again, the client doesn't have a Apple Developer account and expects the working .ipa to be included in the service rendered. Any suggestions or advice or documentati
