Reply to TestFlight External Build Stuck in 'Waiting for Review' for 32+ Hours
yes, same here. until a month ago all was as usual. Now our builds take more than a week to be reviews for the App Store and I canceled by Testflight build for external users after 1 week and submitted a new one. this app is 2 years old and there's nothing new in that build that could explain it. They must be experiencing a tsunami of reviews requests by vibe coders I suppose. Meanwhile we can't work properly. Our testers can't be reached with all our hard work.

TestFlight External Build Stuck in 'Waiting for Review' for 32+ Hours
Hi everyone, My TestFlight build has been stuck in 'Waiting for Review' for over 32 hours and I'm hoping someone can help or share their experience. The situation: I have an External Testing group with a Public Link set up. The build was submitted for Beta App Review on March 19th but it's been over 32 hours with no update. I have 25+ testers waiting to install the app. What I've tried: Waited patiently Checked App Store Connect multiple times No rejection emails received No issues flagged by Apple Questions: Is anyone else experiencing unusually long review times for TestFlight external builds right now? Is there anything I can do to speed up the process or check if something is wrong? Has anyone successfully resolved this by contacting Apple Developer Support directly? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Apple Support Case ID: 102846633409

Reply to How does Numbers.app detect that a document was moved to Recently Deleted, and can third-party apps implement the same behavior?
Hello, Thanks for your response. Have you tested this? As I'm fairly sure that's what Numbers is doing. NSMetadataQueryUpdateRemovedItemsKey and NSMetadataQueryDidUpdateNotification which are iCloud Document API, have the following two limitations. Therefore, I believe Numbers uses other methods as well. On iOS, NSMetadataQuery cannot handle files stored in local storage. File changes can only be detected while the app is running. Also, and I should have mentioned this in my previous reply, make sure you're using file coordination for all of this. We found that it is possible to detect deletion of files in local storage while the app is running by using the NSFilePresenter API. However, these APIs unable to detect whether a file was deleted while the app was not running. If there is a better way than checking whether the URL contains “.Trash” to determine whether a file was deleted while the app was not running—like the method used by Numbers.app—we would like to adopt it in our app as well. That sai

Reply to FSKit passthrough sample fails to mount
I can actually reproduce that quite easily. But my biggest concern so far are other issues which makes me wondering if fskit is of production quality and should I continue making a fuse bridge with it. I got a couple of kernel panics while developing a new plugin. Can send logs if needed. With the passthrough fs: git clone which I usually use for filesystem validation and testing doesn't work: git clone https://github.com/arthenica/ffmpeg-kit.git Cloning into 'ffmpeg-kit'... remote: Enumerating objects: 11760, done. fatal: Unable to create temporary file '/Users/alexf/333/ffmpeg-kit/.git/objects/pack/tmp_pack_XXXXXX': Permission denied fatal: fetch-pack: invalid index-pack output With the passthrough fs: Recursive rm doesn't work either rm -rf ffmpeg-kit rm: ffmpeg-kit/docs/apple/html: Directory not empty rm: ffmpeg-kit/docs/apple: Directory not empty rm: ffmpeg-kit/docs/linux/html: Directory not empty rm: ffmpeg-kit/docs/linux: Directory not empty rm: ffmpeg-kit/docs/android/doc/html: Directory not

Reply to Xcode 26.4: Regressions in Intelligence features
Hi, I have also not determined a pattern. It's often if I pause for a while. Guaranteed to need a long overnight. But also happened during a session. I agree about the thought bubbles. They are almost pointless if you can't read them. Claude has got slower more recently, may be due to the influx of users due to political affairs. Re: Codex & Claude showing: Up until 26.4 beta 3 and before you selected your agent to use and then from then on you just hit new session/chat. In 26.4 rc there is no choice of active agent. All you do is click new session/chat. When you tap the button a pop over appears requesting the agent you wish to use. It's a very jarring workflow... Hopefully this isn't coming across as too negative. The agentic development flow is amazing, it just needs the warts removed :) I can't reply inline because it limits the characters. Maybe that needs feeding back to the website team. It feels like we don't want people to engage when the replies are artificially curtailed

Inquiry regarding Local Push Connectivity Entitlement
Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for your support.

app In Review for 2 weeks delay
I am looking for some guidance regarding a significant delay in the review process for my app update. Platform: iOS Submission Date: March 6, 2026 Current Status: In Review It has now been 12 days, and the status has been In Review. I have checked my App Store Connect App Review section, but there are no outstanding requests for information or messages from the review team. I have already attempted to contact the App Review team via the official Contact Us form but have only received generic automated responses. Is anyone else experiencing similar delays this month? Are there currently known backlogs, or should I consider canceling this release and re-submitting? Thank you for any insights.

Reply to Securing XPC Daemon Communication from Authorization Plugin
Thank you again for the prompt response and for sharing the additional information. How would you expect that to work? Your plug-in is loaded into a system process. How can your daemon, as the XPC listener, identify which code within that process sent the XPC message. It’s conceptually impossible. I acknowledge the limitation,I wouldn’t try to distinguish specific code within the process, since that isn’t feasible. Instead, I’d skip client validation for the authorization plug-in path. For other clients communicating with the daemon, I already enforce validation using proper identifiers and code-signing checks and works. Since the core logic is shared, the idea is to rely on those validated clients and bypass the check only for the authorization process. Now I’d argue that defending yourself from rogue authorisation plug-ins is pointless, because if an attacker is in a position to install an authorisation plug-in the game is basically over, but that’s a policy question that

Reply to RealityView attachment draw order
Hey @drewolbrich, Thanks for filing this feedback. I wasn't able to replicate your experience, but I'm curious if you get the same result by replacing opacity(_:) with OpacityComponent? Additionally, have you considered applying a subtle breakthrough effect on your views? This might mitigate the issue and could improve things if you expect your views to collide your content. Are you able to replicate this behavior in a sample project that we could take a look at? Feel free to link it publicly here, or you can privately share any project with us in your Feedback Request. That'll help us better understand what's going on. If you're not familiar with preparing a test project, take a look at Creating a test project. Thanks, Michael

Different transaction IDs for the same purchase between SKPaymentTransaction and receipt latest_receipt_info
Hello, I am investigating a case where two different transaction IDs appear to refer to the same purchase, and I would like clarification on whether this behavior is expected. Additional context StoreKit version: StoreKit 1 (SKPaymentTransaction) Environment: Production Product type: Auto-renewable subscription Transaction sources The values are obtained from the following APIs: transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skpaymentqueue receipt_data from the App Store receipt https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/bundle/appstorereceipturl Observed behavior After an In-App Purchase completes, the app receives: a transaction_id from SKPaymentTransaction the corresponding receipt_data for the purchase When inspecting the receipt, the transaction_id inside latest_receipt_info differs from the transaction_id received directly from the purchase transaction. For clarity: A = transaction_id received from the purchase flow (SKPaymentTransaction) A' = trans

App rejected for 4.3(a) duplicate, but it's the same app (rebranding update)
Hello, I am facing a rejection under Guideline 4.3(a) - Spam for duplicate apps. However, this submission is an update of an existing app (same bundle identifier), not a new app. The update only includes a company rebranding (name, icon, and screenshots). At the moment, we only have one app with this functionality available on the App Store, and we are not intentionally distributing multiple apps targeting the same users or storefronts. The review team mentioned that the app duplicates another app we submitted, but we are unable to identify which app they are referring to. Has anyone experienced a similar issue where Apple flagged a duplicate app even though only one app is live? How did you resolve it? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

symbolicate crashlog using .symbols files instead of dSYMs
Hi, Some crashes downloaded from TestFlight aren't symbolicated by Xcode and I don't know why, here's an example: Although all uploaded builds contain debug symbols (Symbols directory with .symbols files) and other crashlogs in the same version are symbolicated just fine (also visible on the above SS). I have access only to the .symbols files but not to the original dSYMs and I wonder how to perform symbolication manually. I tried pointing atos and symbolicatecrash utilities to respective .symbols file, but they are unable to work with it. I'm sure it's possible as TestFlight symbolicates crashlogs using only .symbols files somehow. Could you give a hint?

Reply to System-wide deadlock in removexattr from revisiond / APFS
I opened one last week. Case-ID: 18860388 I don't think that’s a valid bug number. Details on the bug filing process are here, and the numbers are prefixed FB. Again, please upload the full spintrace to that bug and then post the bug number back here. It definitely revised (well, APFS), that's holding the lock. Sure, but the question is why, not who. Causes this kind of hang are the interactions between multiple locks and multiple processes. It's hard to pick up unless you're looking at the full log and know what you're looking for, but the basic form is that there are two locks: The outer lock, which the blocking thread (in this case, thread 0xc0616d) is inside and holding. The inner lock, which the blocking thread (thread 0xc0616d) is stuck waiting on. You can actually see this dynamic in the traces you sent. This lock is an APFS-owned lock: *940 apfs_vnop_getattr + 312 (apfs + 604336) [0xfffffe000beacff0] *940 IORWLockRead + 144 (kernel.release.t6000 + 496568) [0xfffffe00088e53b8] And, un
