“A Summary of the WWDC25 Group Lab”

Hi, I'm here hoping for some help or advice in terms of a critical situation I'm currently facing. I want to change the copyright of an app, which was my previous app but now transferred to another company. In the Apple developer panel, is there anywhere that can change the copyright? Here is a quick summary of the app development, Software Vendor 1 developed the app, then transferred to Software Vendor 2, eventually the Client user(only paid for the app but don't have developer account) can use it. Now, I'm the Software Vendor 1 and has transferred the app to Software Vendor 2, but the copyright is still Software Vendor 1; and I want to ask Vendor 2 change the copyright to Client user directly as the Client user has bought the app. I’ve contacted Apple Support multiple times through mails. They just tell me to ask the Account Holder/Admin of the organization account that now owned the app to contact them in order to receive support. Then, I've asked Software Vendor 2 to contact Apple support, but ha

When I try to add the external test group to the current version of the test group, there is an error in processing the request.

Hi, I have a macOS app distributed through the App Store that uses an app group to share data with app extensions. The group identifier has the form: .group. In Xcode 26 I am now asked to convert the project to profile based app groups (like on iOS). My question is: Can I convert the project to profile based app groups and will the existing app group (which is prefixed with the Team ID) continue to work (and will exiting users still be able to access their data). If yes, should I add the app group with or without the Team ID prefix to the profile.

Hello, I have developed an iOS application called DinecTag (be.dinec.DinecTag) with a developer account named Dinec International which is registered in Belgium, I received the NFC entitlement valid for Europe and my App is on the App store since some months (the App is used to open doors by presenting the iPhone in front of a special reader) The App is published only on countries inside Europe (it don’t work outside anyway) I would like my App can be used outside Europe, so I need another entitlement called NFC & SE Platform entitlementn to ask for that, I need an account registered in a country covered by that entitlement Dinec is a company that is member of the Lisam group Lisam has an apple developer account registered to USA, called Lisam Systems So I have asked to the owner of that account to add me as a developer in the USA team So when I connect to my developer account, I can switch between Dinec International SA and Lisam Systems on top right of the screen, I am member of the two teams.

Hi, I have started app development fairly recently and I decided to develop for Apple due to the fact that my school uses iPads and they were so convincing that I decided to buy more Apple products adding to the experience with the iPad such as a Mac where I learned Xcode, Swift and SwiftUI as far as I could comprehend. I am working on a document based app for my school and I want to implement a toolbar that’s user customizable. There seems to be no way to get a customizable toolbar running on iPadOS26 though iPadOS16 has supported this feature and it has been till 18, I believe. I have set up a doc-based app in Xcode and that and all of its views do work except the toolbar that I added to my NavigationSplitView. The items show, when their defaultCustomization isn’t set to .hidden. The toolbar is given an id and the items are all wrapped in the ToolbarItem structure that also is given an id and the placement of .secondaryAction. The items show up and behave as expected in terms of grouping and making

Hi everyone — I’m developing an iOS passkey/password manager where the private key material must be stored on a physical device (NFC card / USB token). I’m hitting a hard limitation: CoreNFC is not available for use from app extensions, which prevents an appex (e.g. password/credential provider or other extension) from talking directly to an NFC card during an authentication flow.  My questions: 1. Is there any plan to make CoreNFC (or some limited NFC-API) available to app extensions in a future iOS version? If not, could Apple clarify why (security/entitlements/architecture reasons)? 2. Are there any recommended/approved workarounds for a passkey manager extension that needs to access a physical NFC token during authentication? (For example: background tag reading that launches the containing app, or some entitlement for secure NFC card sessions.) I’ve read about background tag reading, but that seems to be about system/OS handling of tags rather than giving extensions direct NFC access.  3. Is the only s

I have an app (currently not released on App Store) which runs on both iOS and macOS. The app has widgets for both iOS and macOS which uses user preference (set in app) into account while showing data. Before upgrading to macOS 15 (until Sonoma) widgets were working fine and app was launching correctly, but after upgrading to macOS 15 Sequoia, every time I launch the app it give popup saying '“Kontest” would like to access data from other apps. Keeping app data separate makes it easier to manage your privacy and security.' and also widgets do not get user preferences and throw the same type of error on Console application when using logging. My App group for both iOS and macOS is 'group.com.xxxxxx.yyyyy'. I am calling it as 'UserDefaults(suiteName: Constants.userDefaultsGroupID)!.bool(forKey: shouldFetchAllEventsFromCalendar)'. Can anyone tell, what am I doing wrong here?

I have successfully created subscription with all metaData: Localization(inside subscription and also for subscription group), logo, description and also screenshots but subscription shows missing metadata instead of ready to submit causing flutter app package inAppPurchase to not found the subscription id or product it.

I'm currently experiencing the same problem that many have had with error 422 Beta contract is missing. I read that I should contact Apple support, but when I try to access the support page and log in with my credentials, the page doesn't load and I can't generate a ticket to resolve this problem. I get the message There was an error processing your request. Please try again later. And when I inspect with Safari it shows me this information: errors : [ { id : 9be0314c-3bd5-4143-a625-602322d7156e, status : 422, code : ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING, title : Beta contract is missing for the app., detail : Beta Contract is missing. } ] This is when I want to share the most recent build of my app with external groups through Testflight, but additionally, when my internal testers try to access it through Testflight app, it shows the error The requested app is not available or doesn't exist. Could someone tell me what process I should follow or where I can correctly generate the ticket for my e
