Reply to CoreML regression between macOS 26.0.1 and macOS 26.1 Beta causing scrambled tensor outputs
I've been working with CoreML extensively across macOS 26.x betas and can confirm this regression. After investigating with MPS shader profiling, it appears to be a stride alignment issue in the MLMultiArray backing store when the compute unit dispatches to GPU/ANE. Workarounds I've found: Force CPU-only as temporary fix: let config = MLModelConfiguration() config.computeUnits = .cpuOnly If you need GPU performance, pin to CPU+GPU (excludes ANE): config.computeUnits = .cpuAndGPU In my testing, the corruption is most severe on the ANE path. CPU+GPU gives ~70% of the full .all performance without the scrambled outputs. I'd encourage everyone affected to file duplicate Feedbacks referencing the stride/alignment hypothesis to help Apple prioritize.

3.2(f) triggered — account pending termination despite repeated attempts to comply
Hi all, Looking for some clarity.. I have an app (Pocket Love: AI Roleplay Chat, Apple ID: 6745031268) that went through a long review process with many resubmissions. The feedback I received across those reviews was often generic “overtly sexual”) message, but without any detail on exactly what needed to change. Because of that, I approached it iteratively making adjustments each time based on what I thought the issue might be. Over time I made quite significant changes across the app (imagery, unlockable content, voice-overs, menus, copy, etc.), and increased the age rating to 18+. I also had a call with a policy eexpert & App Review. In the final interaction, I was asked to ensure all unlockable content was visible, so I re-uploaded a build and provided screenshots with everything pre-unlocked for transparency. Despite this, my account has now been flagged under 3.2(f) for “dishonest or fraudulent activity,” and is pending termination. What I’m struggling to understand is: Can repeated resubmi

App stuck in "Waiting for Review" since Feb 20 – no response to support ticket
Hello everyone, My app has been in Waiting for Review status since February 20, and it still hasn’t moved to the review stage yet. On March 9, I submitted a support ticket asking whether there might be any issue with my submission or if additional information is required from my side. However, I have not received any response from Apple so far. At this point, I’m not sure if I should continue waiting or if there is anything else I should do to resolve the situation. App ID: 6759365919 Ticket ID: 102839874589 If anyone has experienced a similar situation or if an Apple staff member could help check the status, I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much.

Reply to 3.2(f) triggered — account pending termination despite repeated attempts to comply
They only tell you how you violate review guidelines. They won't tell you how you should make changes so that you will pass the review process. It's been like that for the past 15 years or longer. We only pay $99 annually. So it shouldn't be a surprise. If you need to find out how you should make changes, I'm afraid you need to hire a consultant. I get that they won’t provide step-by-step instructions, but pointing out specific elements that are considered non-compliant would benefit both sides. When the feedback is just “overtly sexual,” it’s hard to know what that actually refers to, whether it’s the imagery, VO, copy, or even the character relationships. Since only Apple knows where they draw that line, having more specific guidance would significantly reduce the number of resubmissions and make the process more efficient for all. As well as prevent good intentioned developers from having their accounts terminated.

Family Controls Entitlement NOT applied to App Extensions (and Support Form is broken)
Hello, I am facing a critical issue where the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement is not being applied to my app extensions, despite the main app ID being approved. Main App ID: com.hayashikento.focuspact (Approved on March 13) Extension ID 1: com.hayashikento.focuspact.ShieldActionExtension (Pending/Not visible) Extension ID 2: com.hayashikento.focuspact.ShieldConfigurationExtension (Pending/Not visible) I have submitted requests multiple times, but the entitlement does not appear in the Capability Requests for these extensions in the Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles portal. Furthermore, I am unable to contact Developer Support because the Contact Us form on the developer website consistently shows a Request error or freezes on the submission page. Since I am completely blocked from TestFlight distribution, could someone from Apple please look into my account (Team ID: UHG4J7F7NH) and manually sync these entitlements? Thank you for your help.

Help with visionOS pushWindow issues requested
I first started using the SwiftUI pushWindow API in visionOS 26.2, and I've reported several bugs I discovered, listed below. Under certain circumstances, pushed window relationships may break, and this behavior affects all other apps, not just the app that caused the problem, until the next device reboot. In other cases, the system may crash and restart. (FB21287011) When a window presented with pushWindow is dismissed, its parent window reappears in the wrong location (FB21294645) Pinning a pushed window to a wall breaks pushWindow for all other apps on the system (FB21594646) pushWindow interacts poorly with the window bar close app option (FB21652261) If a window locked to a wall calls pushWindow, the original window becomes unlocked (FB21652271) If a window locked in place calls pushWindow and the pushed window is closed, the system freezes (FB21828413) pushWindow, UIApplication.open, and a dismissed immersive space result in multiple failures that require a device reboot (FB21840747) visionOS randomly f

Reply to Monitor mode capture broken with Wi-Fi 7 (M5 Pro MacBook Pro) on macOS 26 - worked previously on same OS with older hardware
I’ve also spent some time investigating this. While monitor mode works, setting the channel using CoreWLAN’s [CWInterface setWLANChannel:error:] API does not behave as expected. As a result, capturing isn’t reliable for third-party apps on Macs with the Apple N1 Wi-Fi chip or the MacBook Neo. I've identified and submitted two issues: FB22295165: [CWInterface setWLANChannel:error:] does not work on a disassociated interface, even though the documentation indicates it should, and it behaves correctly on older Macs. FB22295685: Once in monitor mode, [CWInterface setWLANChannel:error:] reports a successful channel change and the interface reflects the requested channel, but capturing continues on a different channel (usually the channel the interface was operating on previously to being placed in monitor mode). There also appears to be a race condition between entering monitor mode and macOS attempting to rejoin a network shortly after calling [CWInterface disassociate]. While I can’t confirm this defini

ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING – External TestFlight unavailable, internal builds not downloadable
Hi, I’m running into a persistent issue in App Store Connect related to TestFlight and app reviews, and I’m hoping someone has seen this before. Around two weeks ago, I started getting the following error when trying to create external TestFlight builds: ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING Since then: I cannot create any external TestFlight tests Internal TestFlight builds appear, but cannot be downloaded (“The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist”) My apps do not progress properly through review One app got stuck in “In Review” for ~10 days; I eventually withdrew it and resubmitted it At this point, I cannot update two existing apps, and I can’t start testing a new app at all Important details: This is an individual developer account I am the Account Holder All contracts appear active and valid The issue affects multiple apps, not just one Nothing changed on my side (no contract updates, no account changes) before this started happening. I’ve already reached out to Apple Developer

Reply to Advanced App Clip Experiences stuck in "Received" — never transition to "Published"
Thanks Albert. The AASA is publicly accessible with no blocking, no IP filtering, and no user agent restrictions: https://fanarchy.fans/.well-known/apple-app-site-association Apple's own CDN already has the current version synced: https://app-site-association.cdn-apple.com/a/v1/fanarchy.fans So the AASA sync is working — the issue is the experiences stuck in Received and not transitioning to Published. We're also seeing inconsistent behavior across devices. QR code scans for the same URL work on some devices but show App Clip not available on others. For example, it works on an iPhone but fails on an iPad — same URL, same network, both fresh devices that have never had our app installed. Interestingly, when we removed /next-game from the App Clip entry in our AASA, QR codes started falling through to Safari where our Smart App Banner meta tag (apple-itunes-app with app-clip-bundle-id) successfully triggers the App Clip card. This workaround is functional but shouldn't be necessary.

Hey @THeberlein, This is unexpected behavior. Our engineering teams need to investigate this issue, as resolution may involve changes to Apple's software. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could open a bug report; please include a link to your webpage and a sysdiagnose from your Vision Pro captured after this occurred, and post the FB number here once you do. Instructions on capturing a visionOS Sysdiagnose can be found on the Profiles and Logs webpage. Bug Reporting: How and Why? has tips on creating your bug report. Thanks for your help, Michael

Thanks for the post, interesting that's something in the process. TN3168: Making your App Clip available in the App Store | Apple Developer Documentation https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/804858 There is something I always like to check when deploying AASA files. When the full app is installed, iOS handles the URL invocation locally via your apple-app-site-association (AASA) file and entitlements, bypassing the need to query Apple's App Clip CDN. The fact that this works proves your code, AASA file, and associated domains are configured correctly. The failure for fresh devices is happening because Apple's CDN has not yet been updated with your App Clip's metadata? Can you provide me a link to your AASA file in your server so we can see why is not syncing into the Apple servers? Is your server preventing or blocking IP address or user agents from requesting the AASA file? Sometimes, the job queue in App Store Connect simply drops the task. You can often forc

Reply to Family Controls Entitlement NOT applied to App Extensions (and Support Form is broken)
Dear Apple Entitlements Team, My app FocusPact (Bundle ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact) has already been approved for the Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement. To resolve a critical bug where restricted apps remain unlocked after the user's Pact period ends, I have implemented a DeviceActivityMonitorExtension. This extension is essential for the app's core functionality to re-enable shields automatically. Could you please authorize the following new Bundle ID for the same Family Controls (Distribution) entitlement? New Extension ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact.FocusPActMonitor Parent App ID: com.hayashikento.FocusPact Thank you for your continued support in helping me complete my MVP. Sincerely, Kent Hayashi

Reply to Allow editing posts for longer on the Developer Forums
Some people have recommended switching to the Discourse forum software used by other forums like the Swift forums. It allows editing posts for longer and has an edit history feature. Discourse also has many other features that the Apple Developer Forums don't have.

An Apple person occasionally mentions a sit-down review session. Probably, that's what you want. I don't remember the exact session title, though.
