PencilKit PKCanvasView flicker
I have the following setup: UIViewRepresentable with a UIView holding UIScrollView ImageView PKCanvasView this is in order to make it appear as if you are writing on a paper which you can zoom and scroll. The UIImageView is holding the paper image. The problem is if you draw some pen strokes at zoom level 1, then zoom in (say zoom level 2) as soon as you place down the pen, the PKCanvasView starts flickering repeatedly very badly. A sample video is here: https://youtube.com/shorts/5zeq6EDheSM a small sample project showing this is here: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive/0a0NSLP4bsism69L7jRtZPIhQ#BugDemo

Thanks for confirming and hope a fix will come soon. I did file a bug: FB22063128 As for the view hierarchy, I've since found that the amount of flicker seems to be dependent on the amount of pen strokes you do before you zoom. If you draw heavily on the entire paper before zooming you do eventually reach a state where the flickering doesn't stop and continues forever.

Apple Developer Enrollment Stuck — Paid Twice, Still Pending
Hello, I am writing this post because the Apple Developer Program enrollment process is clearly malfunctioning, and I have reached a point where this situation is unacceptable. First payment I initially purchased the Apple Developer Program on December 3rd, 2025 at 16:03 (Turkey time). The payment was fully completed, confirmed by my bank, and I received the official Apple Store receipt. • Order ID: W1557478965 • Amount: 1029 TRY • Status: Completed / Posted Despite this, my account continued to show: • “Purchase your membership” • Enrollment status: Pending • No access to App Store Connect After several days with no response from Apple Support and no activation, I assumed something had gone wrong on Apple’s side. Second payment Because I was completely blocked and received no reply from support or the forums, I made a second payment to rule out any payment failure. • Order ID: W1694587309 • Amount: 1029 TRY • Status: Completed / Posted Current situation At this po

Background upload issue in WatchOS
We are developing a watchOS application that records long audio sessions and uploads them to our backend in chunks (~5 MB each) using pre-signed URLs and URLSession background upload. Current behavior: While audio recording is active, uploads continue successfully even when the app is in the background. Once the recording stops, if multiple chunks (e.g., 10+) are still pending, the remaining uploads do not proceed in the background and appear to be suspended. We attempted to use WKExtendedRuntimeSession (mindfulness type) to allow sufficient time to enqueue background upload tasks, but the session is invalidated when the app goes to the background (e.g., wrist down or app inactive), which prevents reliable scheduling of uploads. Additionally, we added the entitlement: com.apple.developer.extended-runtime-session (mindfulness) in the Watch app entitlements file, but Xcode automatic signing fails with: “Provisioning profile does not include the com.apple.developer.extended-runtime-session entitlement.” It appea

Reply to Apple watch Xcode pairing & connection issues
After 7 hours, successfully managed to get my first deployment on the watch. Definitely not something you expect from apple, in fact I cussed them out the whole way through. But here's what I did Mostly followed entouss's guide and most advice is reiterated from him + some of my experiences Before you do anything, make sure Apple Watch is fully charged (this WILL take a long time) It has a passcode You might get the bright idea to remove the passcode and put it on charger to prevent lock. Keep it on.

Reply to IsEligibleForAgeFeatures behavior in Brazil
Hi @tomatomato, @jarrodlombardo-eventbase, @raphaelkohncr, Thanks for your continued patience. Before I begin, the answer below applies to current regional requirements as of the iOS 26.4 release, and should also be used as guidance for any upcoming regional regulations. You wrote: 1. What's the return value of IsEligibleForAgeFeatures for a Brazilian user who has NOT touched the age range feature at all, thus hasn't picked one of the three options? The intended usage of isEligibleForAgeFeatures is to determine whether associated laws or regulations may apply to your app based on the person's region and account settings. If your app is eligible for age-gated features and needs to support age assurance for the current user, the property returns true; otherwise, it returns false. It's a simple boolean value—if you require more granularity for the specific regulatory requirements, use requiredRegulatoryFeatures as well. Next, you wrote: 2. How can we test these cases?

IsEligibleForAgeFeatures behavior in Brazil
From the Feb 24 news, I understand that for all Apple users in Brazil with iOS26.2 and newer, isEligibleForAgeFeatures will eventually return true. Brazil is a nonregulated region, and developers will need to handle all three situations of ask first/always share/never share. Please correct me if I'm wrong above. A few questions follow on the eligibility check: What's the return value of IsEligibleForAgeFeatures for a Brazilian user who has NOT touched the age range feature at all, thus hasn't picked one of the three options? How can we test these cases? From the updated sandbox doc, there's more information on declined/approved, will those the same behaviors as a future Brazilian user? The doc used to say Texas, now it doesn't say any region. On which date will Apple START to return true for IsEligibleForAgeFeatures for Brazilian users? I cannot find the exact date anywhere. Will ALL of Brazil return true overnight, or is there some ramp up that developers need to be aware of? Thanks a lot f

Reply to PencilKit PKCanvasView flicker
Thank you for the sample project and the video — both were very helpful. We were able to reproduce the flickering on iPad with Apple Pencil using your sample project. We tested several potential app-level workarounds (deferring contentInset updates, guarding against layout recalculation during active drawing, consolidating CATransaction blocks) but none of them resolved the issue. Based on our investigation, the flicker appears to be occurring within PKCanvasView's internal tile rendering when drawing at non-1x zoom scales, rather than being caused by anything in your app code. Our engineering teams need to investigate this issue, as resolution may involve changes to Apple's software. Please file a bug report, include a small Xcode project and some directions that can be used to reproduce the problem, and post the Feedback number here once you do. I'll check the status next time I do a sweep of forums posts where I've suggested bug reports and post any information about changes I am

“Desktop & Documents Folders” feature in iCloud Drive.
Dear Apple Support, I would like to raise a concern regarding the behavior of the “Desktop & Documents Folders” feature in iCloud Drive. From a business and development standpoint, the fact that folders may be automatically moved or created without clear and explicit user awareness is quite concerning. File system behavior is something users generally expect to remain predictable and fully under their control. In particular, when working in development environments, even small and unintended changes to folder structures can lead to issues such as broken file paths, build errors, or inconsistencies in project setups. The possibility that such changes may occur automatically introduces an element of uncertainty that is difficult to manage in professional workflows. Additionally, there are security considerations. For example, if sensitive files such as configuration data or API keys are temporarily stored on the Desktop, the possibility that they could be unintentionally synced to the cloud raises

Enrollment and Payment completed but Web still shows “Complete Your Purchase” and Pending
Hello, Apple Developer Support Team, I registered for the Apple Developer Program using the Developer app on my iPhone. Payment and identity verification were completed successfully. Nevertheless, the phrase Complete Your Purchase still appears when I check in online, and my registration status is listed as Pending. Even though I've already finished the enrollment procedure on my iPhone, the system seems to be requesting me to do it again. I already have opened a case with Case ID: 102844593298 but had no response. Would you kindly check my account and let me know how my registration is going right now? I appreciate your help. Warm regards.

Reply to AlarmKit leaves an empty zombie Live Activity in Dynamic Island after swipe-dismiss while unlocked
Thank you for sharing your analysis and this well-structured post! I can confirm these findings and apparently, this is what's causing the blank live activity I described in my post as well. Judging from your observations, I agree with the assessment that this seems to be an issue inside the framework. This information should help the engineers at Apple to identify and fix it.

Hello StrayDog, Thank you for this post! These forums are for questions about developing software and accessories for Apple platforms.

Reply to Apple Server Notifications Webhooks stopped retrying on HTTP 400
@App Store Commerce Engineer This started working a day or two after I posted the message. Looks like we are now receiving a lot of duplicated notifications (which is better than missing the retries). But it looks like something change on your end that started sending a lot of duplicated notifs, has Apple changed something on their lately?
