“A Summary of the WWDC25 Group Lab”

Hi all, Our company is applying for the Find My certification for our smartwearable product. Now we submitted the product plan and it's approved. The lab asked us to get the token but we searched on internet and the documents about it are limited. The CSR has approved and we already had .pem and .key file. I wonder what should we do next. Any helps are appreciated

I'm ready to submit a new app with 3 subscription plans. But the status of the group remains 'Prepare for Submission.' And it won't change. All the individual subscription plans have the 'Ready to Submit' status. I have triple-checked individual plans to see if there is anything missing. No. Nothing is missing. There are no pending business contracts to review, either. I have even deleted an existing group and created a whole new subscription group. And I still end up with this prepare status. Am I the only one having this subscription group difficulty? One thing that I realize is that the status appears as 'Ready to Submit' on individual subscription plans. But their respective localization pair of display name and description get the Prepared status. The display name and the description fields are both filled for all three plans. What a nice, merry, merry Christmas. I don't know what else I can do to resolve this Prepared madness. I've been stuck for 4 hours.

Two subscriptions, Plus and Max, are under the same subscription group, with Max having a higher tier than Plus. Promotional Offers for Max are configured in Apple Store Connect. When a user subscribes to Plus and then upgrades to Max using Promotional Offers, they are prompted with Upgrade upon expiration (Figure 1); if they don't use Promotional Offers, they are prompted to Upgrade immediately (Figure 2). Question 1: What is the situation with the upgrade upon expiration message in Figure 1? Is upgrading using Promotional Offers special? I couldn't find any relevant explanation in Apple's technical documentation. Question 2: Figure 1 shows an upgrade upon expiration, but after subscribing, the webhook still shows the subscription start time as the current time, meaning the upgrade hasn't started immediately. Is the message incorrect?

Hi, I am developing a NSReplicatedFileProvider extension. Part of that I am also doing a Finder Sync Extension, but I am for whatever reason unable to enable the extension. What am I missing? it is signed properly, it has the right app group. Is there anything else I nede to enable for it? When I do this: pluginkit -m | grep -i XXXFinderSync I get com.clio.XXX-Desktop.XXXFinderSync(1.0) Not that - shows up as bullet point. The hyphen signifies it is disabled.

Hello Apple Developer Team I am an independent iOS developer creating highly specialized applications for a very small private audience of fewer than ten users These applications are tightly coupled with custom hardware that I design and manufacture myself for example automotive air suspension control systems Due to the extremely narrow scope and non commercial nature of these apps maintaining a full Apple Developer Program membership is economically impractical The applications are not distributed publicly are not monetized and are used only by a small group of people who share the same technical hobby All application code is written entirely by me There are no copyright violations no private API usage no hidden functionality no tracking and no malicious behavior The apps do not compromise iOS security do not harm users and do not discredit Apple or the iOS platform The software only functions when paired with proprietary hardware under my control At present the only viable way to install these apps

Hello, I seem to have a strange bug when testing 2 of my Apps that calls SubscriptionStoreView(groupID: storekitmanager.groupID), where storekitmanager is using @Observable, with groupID from the Subscription Group in App Store Connect. They have the following: Yearly, Biannually, and Monthly. Their productIDs and groupIDs have been configured in each app with the correct IDs. In my main Apple ID, when the SubscriptionStoreView is presented, selecting Monthly, tap Subscribe, and nothing happens. Selecting either Yearly or Biannually, tap Subscribe and the Confirmation Dialog that triggers faceID/touchID will appear correctly. This happens in both Apps for TestFlight. I have a Manage Subscriptions button that uses: manageSubscriptionsSheet(isPresented:subscriptionGroupID:) I can change the subscription to Monthly in that manage subscriptions. However, if I switch to a Sandbox Apple Account, the bug described above does not happen. The Sandbox account when selecting Monthly and tap Subscribe will trigg

I currently have one subscription group with one approved subscription. It is live in production. I am now adding more subscriptions to the same group. Different tiers and different durations. Is there a way to get these new subscriptions approved by Apple, but not yet have them show as options within the group? Sort of an approved-but-inactive state? There's a timing issue. I don't want the new options to show before the website/app descriptive text supports them. And I don't want the website/app descriptive text to describe purchase options that aren't yet available.

After authenticating the user I'm loading my Game Center leaderboards like this: let leaderboards = try await GKLeaderboard.loadLeaderboards(IDs: [leaderboardID]) This is working fine, but there are times when this just returns an empty array. When I encounter this situation, the array remains empty for several hours when retrying, but then at some point it suddenly starts working again. Is this a known issue? Or am I hitting some kind of quota maybe (as I do it quite often while developing my game)?. Edit: My leaderboards are grouped in sets if that makes any difference here.

The profile expiration date is approaching, and no amount of inquiries will solve it. Create a new profile Download a new profile from Xcode Press archive, press Distribute App, press Enterprise, and distribute Invalid expiration date in profile of summary of review app.ipa content I've tried everything that comes out by Googleing profiles, such as regenerating profiles, erasing caches, updating Xcode, updating macOS, deleting existing profile information, etc. Expiration date different from the expiration date of the profile created in that menu is displayed. The expiration date of the profile I created is December 8, 2026, and the previous certificate is January 22, 2026. However, the profile information of the generated ipa is February 12, 2026. So I can't distribute this app because I'm scared, and the expiration date is coming up. Users should have a period of time to update. Get me a novice developer who's choking up.

Hello, I am developing a macOS menu bar window-management utility (similar in functionality to Magnet / Rectangle) that relies on the Accessibility (AXUIElement) API to move and resize windows and on global hotkeys. I am facing a consistent issue when App Sandbox is enabled. Summary: App Sandbox enabled Hardened Runtime enabled Apple Events entitlement enabled NSAccessibilityDescription present in Info.plist AXIsProcessTrustedWithOptions is called with prompt enabled Observed behavior: When App Sandbox is enabled, the Accessibility permission prompt never appears. The app cannot be manually added in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Accessibility. AXIsProcessTrusted always returns false. As a result, window snapping does not work. When App Sandbox is disabled: The Accessibility prompt appears correctly. The app functions as expected. This behavior occurs both: In local builds In TestFlight builds My questions: Is this expected behavior for sandboxed macOS apps that rely on Accessibility APIs
