App Clip card shows "App Clip Unavailable” after app release (Status: Received)
We are facing an issue where our App Clip card appears when scanning the QR code, but displays “App Clip Unavailable” even though the main app is already live on the App Store. App Details • App Name: ExpRE – Experiencing Reality • Main App Bundle ID: com.livingmedia.adplayer • App Clip Bundle ID: com.livingmedia.adplayer.Clip • Apple ID: 6758887250 • Team ID: 9NU8HZB68A Current Status: • Main app status: Ready for Distribution (visible on App Store) • App Clip Advanced Experience status: Received • App Clip Experience URL: https://aaj-tak-test-app.web.app Issue Description When scanning the QR code linked to the App Clip Experience: • The App Clip card with image appears • But the card shows the message: “App Clip Unavailable” Additional Observations • The default App Clip link opens correctly: https://appclip.apple.com/id?p=com.livingmedia.adplayer.Clip • Advanced App Clip Experience status still shows “Received”. • Also if there is testflight build then clip card work. But fresh install with QR with link show App clip Unavailable in card. Question Is there an additional propagation or approval step required after the status becomes Received for Advanced App Clip Experiences? How long does it typically take for the App Clip to become publicly available after the main app is released? In iphone developer I checked with Diagnostics in App clip testing.

Localize title and subtitle on App Clip card.
Hello, Our App Clip has recently gone live, and I’ve been testing the App Clip card across different device languages. I’ve noticed that while the action button text (e.g., “Open”) is localized automatically, the title and subtitle on the App Clip card are not being localized. Currently, they always appear in English. While configuring the advanced App Clip experience in App Store Connect, I was only able to select a single language (English). I attempted to create additional App Clip experiences for other languages, but encountered an error stating that the same App Clip Experience URL cannot be reused. Given that our users are distributed globally, I would like to understand: How can we localize the App Clip card (title and subtitle) for multiple languages while using the same App Clip Experience URL? Is there a recommended approach to support localization for a single App Clip experience across different regions/languages? Any guidance or best practices would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Invalid Entitlement: Unknown ID
I am attempting to configure appclips, but I am getting this error in App Store Connect. I created an app clips target in my project, I have checked the XCAsset files and it is included when archived and pushed to App Store Connect. In both my parent and my app clips target I've added the associated domains capabilities, with the following associated same domains for both targets: appclips:akin-server-side-staging.onrender.com appclips:akin-server-side.onrender.com applinks:akin-server-side-staging.onrender.com applinks:akin-server-side.onrender.com My server is configured to serve the following json at all permutations of the staging endpoints and prod endpoints for both well known and aasa without well known. Here is one of them: https://akin-server-side.onrender.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association Here is the JSON it is returning: {"applinks":{"details":[{"appIDs":["8PJ28P9ZZ8.com.ElevatedUnderdogs.akin1"],"components":[{"\/":"\/appClips\/referral\/venueToUser\/*"}]}]},"appclips":{"apps":["8PJ28P9ZZ8.com.ElevatedUnderdogs.akin1.Clip"]}} And yet I'm still getting Invalid Entitlement: Unknown ID in the store.

Swift compiler fails in Release (-O) when using generic ObservableObject with @Published on iOS < 26 in Xcode 26.3
When building a SwiftUI project in Xcode 26.3, Swift compilation fails in the Release configuration with Optimization Level set to -O, when the iOS deployment target is lower than iOS 26 (e.g. iOS 16, 17, or 18). The failure occurs when using a generic class conforming to ObservableObject that contains a @Published property. The same code: Compiles successfully in Xcode 16.3 (Release, -O) with iOS 16/17/18 Compiles successfully in Xcode 26.x when the deployment target is set to iOS 26 Compiles successfully in Xcode 26.x Debug configuration (-Onone) Compiles successfully in Xcode 26.x Release when optimization is disabled (-Onone) However, in Xcode 26.3, the build consistently fails in Release (-O) when targeting iOS 16, 17, or 18. This appears to be a Swift compiler optimization issue related to generics, ObservableObject, @Published, and back-deployment to iOS versions prior to iOS 26. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Create a new SwiftUI App project using Xcode 26.3. Leave all project settings at default (Swift version 5). Set the iOS Deployment Target to iOS 16, 17, or 18. Use the following minimal code: import SwiftUI internal import Combine @MainActor class CommonViewModel<Item>: ObservableObject { @Published var listArray = [Item]() } class ContentViewModel: CommonViewModel<String> { func reloadData() { self.listArray = ["1"] } } struct ContentView: View { @StateObject private var viewModel = ContentViewModel() var body: some View { Color.clear .onAppear { viewModel.reloadData() } } } Build and run the app using the Release configuration.

App Clips Causing CPSErrorDomain error 2 on Non App Clip URLs
Unexpected behavior encountered when scanning NFC tags. Imagine a link shortener web service where users can create lots of different URLs that are hosted on the same domain eg, https://short.com/unique-path The service has optional App Clip capability -- users can select any of their links and have the service create an App Clip for the selected link(s). Users can encode their URLs into NFC tags and have their customers scan NFC tags. Let's take just two URLs for example: https://short.com/foo https://short.com/bar The /foo link does have an App Clip associated with it while /bar does not have it. Each link has been encoded into appropriate NFC tag. Expected behavior when scanning from an iPhone: /foo -- shows an App Clip popup. /bar -- shows a "Open in Safari" default notification. What's actually happening /foo -- opens App Clip poput with correct metadata (title, subtitle, image) which is totally expected behavior. /bar (the one that doesn't have app clip associated with it) -- opens an App-Clip-like popup with the following error: CPSErrorDomainError 2 (see attachment below) So for some reason when someone scans an NFC tag with a URL that is not an App Clip and never has been -- it always shows that error regardless whether the URL exists or does not exist. I've tried few different/random URLs (which don't have an App Clip associated with it) and all of them show the same error. Additional details: All links use the same domain and URL format: domain.com/path where path is a short string of random a-Z characters. All App Clips are created at the same iOS app. AASA is good: Cache and Debug -- both green. This issue has happened to lots of users on lots of different iPhones and iOS'. Since the issue's been happening to lots of different users on different iPhone(s)/iOS' no sysdiagnose is attached. Actually it works the same on every device/iOS we've tried. Before submitting the issue, I've found few other developers reporting the same issue. What's interesting though is none of the links I've went through comes with a definite answer and it seems like this issue just randomly comes and goes without any specific changes on the server and/or iOS app. Dropping the links of similar issues below. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/671433 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/665969 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/775316 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764545

Advanced App Clip Main App approved but Appclip Experience Stuck in “Received” State (No Publish Option)
I am requesting assistance with an issue involving my Advanced App Clip Experience, which has remained in the “Received” state for more than few months, preventing the App Clip from becoming available when invoked via QR code. App Details App Name: Yellow Label Verification App Store Bundle ID: com.acviss.demoindia App Clip Bundle ID: com.acviss.demoindia.Clip Team ID: F2RLQ4VV59 App Version (Live): 1.4 Domain: acviss.com Issue Summary My Advanced App Clip Experience is stuck in the “Received” status. The “Publish” and “Build Assignment” options never appear, even though: The updated AASA file is correctly published at: https://acviss.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association It contains the correct appclips → appID and paths entries It is served with the correct application/json content type Domain validation in App Store Connect shows Validated The App Clip build is already approved and live on the App Store Safari-based App Clip invocation works as expected Despite this, the Advanced App Clip Experience has not transitioned from “Received” to “Processing” or “Published.” Because of this, QR-based invocation consistently shows “App Clip Unavailable”, indicating that the App Clip Experience has not yet been activated on Apple’s backend. Reproduction Steps Publish correct AASA file with appclips array and paths Validate domain (shows green “Validated” in App Store Connect) Open the Advanced App Clip Experience in App Store Connect Status stays as Received “Build Assignment” or “Publish” buttons never appear QR scanning of the App Clip URL continues to show App Clip Unavailable Request Could you please check the backend processing of my App Clip Experience and manually trigger the sync or processing It appears that the App Clip Experience is not being processed even though all configuration, AASA, and domain validations are correct. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this so the App Clip can be invoked successfully via QR. Thank you very much for your help and support.

Invoking app clip, that was installed from TestFlight, from a different app.
I have an app clip installed via TestFlight. My AASA file is configured correctly (per 'Domain Status' in TestFlight). I want to be able to run the app clip flow (app clip card showing and app clip card launched) by invoking UIApplication.shared.open(url) from a different app, or by pressing the URL from notes app. This doesn't seem to work. The only thing I am able to do is run the flow when scanning a proper QR code after configuring Local Experience with the matching parameters. But as stated above, the flow will not work when invoking the URL from a different app. Is the proper way to fix this is to define an HTML page for that URL path that contain the element with app-clip-bundle-id attribute that will match the Local Experience configuration? Is there another way to make this flow work with TestFlight releases? what are my options?

App Clip Advanced Card with URL Redirects - Custom Branding Per Location
Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm working on implementing App Clips for a restaurant platform and need guidance on configuring custom App Clip experiences using URL redirects. Context: We have multiple restaurant locations, each needing branded App Clip cards (custom image, title, subtitle). With hundreds of tables across many venues, creating individual App Clip experiences for each table in App Store Connect isn't scalable. Currently: Using a single, generic App Clip experience for all locations => https://example.com Desired Flow: Customer scans QR code at restaurant table ↓ https://example.com/123 ↓ iOS fetches URL ↓ Server responds with 302 redirect ↓ https://example.com/brands/le-pain-quotidien?venue=abc123 ↓ iOS displays App Clip card with "Le Pain Quotidien" branding ↓ User taps "Open" → App Clip launches with correct context What I've Tried: Configured multiple App Clip experiences in App Store Connect Implemented 302 redirects from short URLs to branded URLs Tested various redirect configurations without success Questions: Does iOS fetch and follow redirects before displaying the App Clip card, or does it only use the originally scanned URL? What App Clip experience URLs should be configured in App Store Connect for this redirect scenario? Are there specific HTTP headers or redirect requirements for iOS to properly recognize the final destination? Should the App Clip experience be registered for example.com/123 or example.com/brands/le-pain-quotidien? Reference: Apple's documentation suggests this is possible: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppClip/configuring-the-launch-experience-of-your-app-clip#Use-short-URLs-or-redirects Has anyone successfully implemented custom App Clip cards using URL redirects? Any guidance on the correct configuration approach would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Can I hide the NFC App Clip card?
Dear Apple Engineers: My app utilizes the App Clip experience. I would like to prevent the App Clip card from appearing when the host app is running in the foreground. How can this be achieved? I have observed that Alipay (in China) does not display an App Clip card when the device is tapped against a tag while the app is in the foreground, which indicates that this behavior is possible. Thank you for your assistance.

Apple Media Service T&C pop-up
I had published an App which App Clip is supported. I have receipt complaints from user where the user will keep showing the "Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions Have Changed" right after user click on the "Open" button in the App Clips. What I had tried: Let user switch the current logged in Apple Id region to one of our support region. Log out and log in with an Apple Id which had no issue.

Cant Create/Update App Clips
Hey there, We've been using App Store Connect API to manage (create/update) Advanced App Clip Experiences via App Store Connect API. Everything has worked fine, we've been able to successfully manage hundreds of app clips but all of a sudden starting on December 15th the API started returning the following error: "id" => "1e15b36b-5347-4af0-9bab-7f6626ffec65" "status" => "409" "code" => "ENTITY_ERROR.INCLUDED.INVALID_ID" "title" => "The provided entity id is invalid" "detail" => "The provided included entity id 'EN' has invalid format" "source" => array:1 [▼ "pointer" => "/included/0/id" ] It does seem to be an API bug considering it has always worked fine and we didn't change anything on our side, the /included/0/id value has always been EN and never changed. Moreover, EN still seems to be a valid value according to the API docs and there are no changes reported of that field in the API release notes. Here's the request ID: 1e15b36b-5347-4af0-9bab-7f6626ffec65 I've tried using different values through trial and error (en, EN, EN-US, ...) and none of them worked.

Legacy Team ID prevents adding AppClip
My iOS app was created with a legacy Team ID in 2011. When I try to add an AppClip to the app, the Team ID on the AppClip is the new Team ID. Xcode prevents the build from completing. The com.apple.developer.parent-application-identifiers entitlement (null) of an App Clip must match the application-identifier entitlement ('TYXXXXXP2.com.it-guy.MyApp') of its containing parent app. How can this be resolved? Can the AppClip Team ID be changed in "Identifiers" on the developer.apple.com?

App Clip Experience Does Not Update Content After Initial Creation (Persistent Caching Issue)
Hi everyone, We’re running into a serious issue with App Clip Experience updates not propagating to devices, and I’m hoping someone here has encountered (or solved) this before. Problem Once an App Clip Experience is created and used on devices, subsequent updates made in App Store Connect do not reflect on any devices, even after a long period of time. We’ve tried: • Updating the App Clip Experience URL (adding utm parameters, for example, utm_source and scanning via QR code) • Modifying Experience metadata/content • Waiting several days (over a week) • Testing on multiple devices (including devices that never opened the App Clip before) Despite this, the App Clip continues to show the initially created content, while App Store Connect clearly shows the updated configuration. Important Details • We currently have ~1,300 App Clip Experiences created • All App Clips use the same App Clip Bundle ID • The content behind the URLs updates correctly on the website • Only the App Clip continues to show stale / initial data • Removing and re-invoking the App Clip on devices does not consistently fix the issue At this point, manual updates via App Store Connect appear to be completely ignored once the App Clip is “established.” Questions 1. Is there a known hard cache or CDN behavior on Apple’s side that prevents App Clip Experience updates from propagating? 2. Is there any way to invalidate or refresh an existing App Clip Experience? 3. Does having a large number of App Clip Experiences (~1300) affect update behavior or caching? 4. Is the recommended approach to treat App Clip Experience as immutable and handle all updates via backend / dynamic content only? Right now it feels like: App Clip Experience is effectively a one-time snapshot and not a live-updatable configuration. Any insights, confirmations, or official guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

App Clip Advanced Experiences don't get published
We have an app with a few App Clip Advanced Experiences. Since around 28th of August the status of the experiences seems to be stuck in either CREATE_SUBMITTED or UPDATE_SUBMITTED and they don't get updated to PUBLISHED anymore. I found this in the experiences JSON loaded by AppStoreConnect when editing the experiences: "statuses": { "doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0, "sum_other_doc_count": 0, "buckets": [ { "key": "PUBLISHED", "doc_count": 182 }, { "key": "CREATE_SUBMITTED", "doc_count": 7 }, { "key": "UPDATE_SUBMITTED", "doc_count": 3 } ] }, This shows that 10 experiences are stuck in other status than PUBLISHED. I created a Feedback with ID FB15041208 and a DTS last week. This is REALLY important for us to be fixed immediately since we have customers that rely on this!

When building a SwiftUI project in Xcode 26.3, Swift compilation fails in the Release configuration with Optimization Level set to -O, when the iOS deployment target is lower than iOS 26 (e.g. iOS 16, 17, or 18). The failure occurs when using a generic class conforming to ObservableObject that contains a @Published property. The same code: Compiles successfully in Xcode 16.3 (Release, -O) with iOS 16/17/18 Compiles successfully in Xcode 26.x when the deployment target is set to iOS 26 Compiles successfully in Xcode 26.x Debug configuration (-Onone) Compiles successfully in Xcode 26.x Release when optimization is disabled (-Onone) However, in Xcode 26.3, the build consistently fails in Release (-O) when targeting iOS 16, 17, or 18. This appears to be a Swift compiler optimization issue related to generics, ObservableObject, @Published, and back-deployment to iOS versions prior to iOS 26. STEPS TO REPRODUCE Create a new SwiftUI App project using Xcode 26.3. Leave all project settings at default (Swift version 5). Set the iOS Deployment Target to iOS 16, 17, or 18. Use the following minimal code: import SwiftUI internal import Combine @MainActor class CommonViewModel<Item>: ObservableObject { @Published var listArray = [Item]() } class ContentViewModel: CommonViewModel<String> { func reloadData() { self.listArray = ["1"] } } struct ContentView: View { @StateObject private var viewModel = ContentViewModel() var body: some View { Color.clear .onAppear { viewModel.reloadData() } } } Build and run the app using the Release configuration.

App Clips Causing CPSErrorDomain error 2 on Non App Clip URLs
Unexpected behavior encountered when scanning NFC tags. Imagine a link shortener web service where users can create lots of different URLs that are hosted on the same domain eg, https://short.com/unique-path The service has optional App Clip capability -- users can select any of their links and have the service create an App Clip for the selected link(s). Users can encode their URLs into NFC tags and have their customers scan NFC tags. Let's take just two URLs for example: https://short.com/foo https://short.com/bar The /foo link does have an App Clip associated with it while /bar does not have it. Each link has been encoded into appropriate NFC tag. Expected behavior when scanning from an iPhone: /foo -- shows an App Clip popup. /bar -- shows a "Open in Safari" default notification. What's actually happening /foo -- opens App Clip poput with correct metadata (title, subtitle, image) which is totally expected behavior. /bar (the one that doesn't have app clip associated with it) -- opens an App-Clip-like popup with the following error: CPSErrorDomainError 2 (see attachment below) So for some reason when someone scans an NFC tag with a URL that is not an App Clip and never has been -- it always shows that error regardless whether the URL exists or does not exist. I've tried few different/random URLs (which don't have an App Clip associated with it) and all of them show the same error. Additional details: All links use the same domain and URL format: domain.com/path where path is a short string of random a-Z characters. All App Clips are created at the same iOS app. AASA is good: Cache and Debug -- both green. This issue has happened to lots of users on lots of different iPhones and iOS'. Since the issue's been happening to lots of different users on different iPhone(s)/iOS' no sysdiagnose is attached. Actually it works the same on every device/iOS we've tried. Before submitting the issue, I've found few other developers reporting the same issue. What's interesting though is none of the links I've went through comes with a definite answer and it seems like this issue just randomly comes and goes without any specific changes on the server and/or iOS app. Dropping the links of similar issues below. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/671433 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/665969 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/775316 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/764545

Advanced App Clip Main App approved but Appclip Experience Stuck in “Received” State (No Publish Option)
I am requesting assistance with an issue involving my Advanced App Clip Experience, which has remained in the “Received” state for more than few months, preventing the App Clip from becoming available when invoked via QR code. App Details App Name: Yellow Label Verification App Store Bundle ID: com.acviss.demoindia App Clip Bundle ID: com.acviss.demoindia.Clip Team ID: F2RLQ4VV59 App Version (Live): 1.4 Domain: acviss.com Issue Summary My Advanced App Clip Experience is stuck in the “Received” status. The “Publish” and “Build Assignment” options never appear, even though: The updated AASA file is correctly published at: https://acviss.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association It contains the correct appclips → appID and paths entries It is served with the correct application/json content type Domain validation in App Store Connect shows Validated The App Clip build is already approved and live on the App Store Safari-based App Clip invocation works as expected Despite this, the Advanced App Clip Experience has not transitioned from “Received” to “Processing” or “Published.” Because of this, QR-based invocation consistently shows “App Clip Unavailable”, indicating that the App Clip Experience has not yet been activated on Apple’s backend. Reproduction Steps Publish correct AASA file with appclips array and paths Validate domain (shows green “Validated” in App Store Connect) Open the Advanced App Clip Experience in App Store Connect Status stays as Received “Build Assignment” or “Publish” buttons never appear QR scanning of the App Clip URL continues to show App Clip Unavailable Request Could you please check the backend processing of my App Clip Experience and manually trigger the sync or processing It appears that the App Clip Experience is not being processed even though all configuration, AASA, and domain validations are correct. I would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this so the App Clip can be invoked successfully via QR. Thank you very much for your help and support.

Invoking app clip, that was installed from TestFlight, from a different app.
I have an app clip installed via TestFlight. My AASA file is configured correctly (per 'Domain Status' in TestFlight). I want to be able to run the app clip flow (app clip card showing and app clip card launched) by invoking UIApplication.shared.open(url) from a different app, or by pressing the URL from notes app. This doesn't seem to work. The only thing I am able to do is run the flow when scanning a proper QR code after configuring Local Experience with the matching parameters. But as stated above, the flow will not work when invoking the URL from a different app. Is the proper way to fix this is to define an HTML page for that URL path that contain the element with app-clip-bundle-id attribute that will match the Local Experience configuration? Is there another way to make this flow work with TestFlight releases? what are my options?

App Clip Advanced Card with URL Redirects - Custom Branding Per Location
Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm working on implementing App Clips for a restaurant platform and need guidance on configuring custom App Clip experiences using URL redirects. Context: We have multiple restaurant locations, each needing branded App Clip cards (custom image, title, subtitle). With hundreds of tables across many venues, creating individual App Clip experiences for each table in App Store Connect isn't scalable. Currently: Using a single, generic App Clip experience for all locations => https://example.com Desired Flow: Customer scans QR code at restaurant table ↓ https://example.com/123 ↓ iOS fetches URL ↓ Server responds with 302 redirect ↓ https://example.com/brands/le-pain-quotidien?venue=abc123 ↓ iOS displays App Clip card with "Le Pain Quotidien" branding ↓ User taps "Open" → App Clip launches with correct context What I've Tried: Configured multiple App Clip experiences in App Store Connect Implemented 302 redirects from short URLs to branded URLs Tested various redirect configurations without success Questions: Does iOS fetch and follow redirects before displaying the App Clip card, or does it only use the originally scanned URL? What App Clip experience URLs should be configured in App Store Connect for this redirect scenario? Are there specific HTTP headers or redirect requirements for iOS to properly recognize the final destination? Should the App Clip experience be registered for example.com/123 or example.com/brands/le-pain-quotidien? Reference: Apple's documentation suggests this is possible: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppClip/configuring-the-launch-experience-of-your-app-clip#Use-short-URLs-or-redirects Has anyone successfully implemented custom App Clip cards using URL redirects? Any guidance on the correct configuration approach would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Can the App Clip card be prevented from popping up when the host app is in the foreground?
My app is configured with the App Clip experiences, and a Clip App card pops up when an NFC tag is scanned—whether the host app is not launched, running in the background, or active in the foreground. I want to prevent the App Clip card from popping up when the host app is in the foreground; how can this be achieved?

Can I hide the NFC App Clip card?
Dear Apple Engineers: My app utilizes the App Clip experience. I would like to prevent the App Clip card from appearing when the host app is running in the foreground. How can this be achieved? I have observed that Alipay (in China) does not display an App Clip card when the device is tapped against a tag while the app is in the foreground, which indicates that this behavior is possible. Thank you for your assistance.

Apple Media Service T&C pop-up
I had published an App which App Clip is supported. I have receipt complaints from user where the user will keep showing the "Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions Have Changed" right after user click on the "Open" button in the App Clips. What I had tried: Let user switch the current logged in Apple Id region to one of our support region. Log out and log in with an Apple Id which had no issue.

Cant Create/Update App Clips
Hey there, We've been using App Store Connect API to manage (create/update) Advanced App Clip Experiences via App Store Connect API. Everything has worked fine, we've been able to successfully manage hundreds of app clips but all of a sudden starting on December 15th the API started returning the following error: "id" => "1e15b36b-5347-4af0-9bab-7f6626ffec65" "status" => "409" "code" => "ENTITY_ERROR.INCLUDED.INVALID_ID" "title" => "The provided entity id is invalid" "detail" => "The provided included entity id 'EN' has invalid format" "source" => array:1 [▼ "pointer" => "/included/0/id" ] It does seem to be an API bug considering it has always worked fine and we didn't change anything on our side, the /included/0/id value has always been EN and never changed. Moreover, EN still seems to be a valid value according to the API docs and there are no changes reported of that field in the API release notes. Here's the request ID: 1e15b36b-5347-4af0-9bab-7f6626ffec65 I've tried using different values through trial and error (en, EN, EN-US, ...) and none of them worked.

Legacy Team ID prevents adding AppClip
My iOS app was created with a legacy Team ID in 2011. When I try to add an AppClip to the app, the Team ID on the AppClip is the new Team ID. Xcode prevents the build from completing. The com.apple.developer.parent-application-identifiers entitlement (null) of an App Clip must match the application-identifier entitlement ('TYXXXXXP2.com.it-guy.MyApp') of its containing parent app. How can this be resolved? Can the AppClip Team ID be changed in "Identifiers" on the developer.apple.com?

App Clip Experience Does Not Update Content After Initial Creation (Persistent Caching Issue)
Hi everyone, We’re running into a serious issue with App Clip Experience updates not propagating to devices, and I’m hoping someone here has encountered (or solved) this before. Problem Once an App Clip Experience is created and used on devices, subsequent updates made in App Store Connect do not reflect on any devices, even after a long period of time. We’ve tried: • Updating the App Clip Experience URL (adding utm parameters, for example, utm_source and scanning via QR code) • Modifying Experience metadata/content • Waiting several days (over a week) • Testing on multiple devices (including devices that never opened the App Clip before) Despite this, the App Clip continues to show the initially created content, while App Store Connect clearly shows the updated configuration. Important Details • We currently have ~1,300 App Clip Experiences created • All App Clips use the same App Clip Bundle ID • The content behind the URLs updates correctly on the website • Only the App Clip continues to show stale / initial data • Removing and re-invoking the App Clip on devices does not consistently fix the issue At this point, manual updates via App Store Connect appear to be completely ignored once the App Clip is “established.” Questions 1. Is there a known hard cache or CDN behavior on Apple’s side that prevents App Clip Experience updates from propagating? 2. Is there any way to invalidate or refresh an existing App Clip Experience? 3. Does having a large number of App Clip Experiences (~1300) affect update behavior or caching? 4. Is the recommended approach to treat App Clip Experience as immutable and handle all updates via backend / dynamic content only? Right now it feels like: App Clip Experience is effectively a one-time snapshot and not a live-updatable configuration. Any insights, confirmations, or official guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

App Clip Advanced Experiences don't get published
We have an app with a few App Clip Advanced Experiences. Since around 28th of August the status of the experiences seems to be stuck in either CREATE_SUBMITTED or UPDATE_SUBMITTED and they don't get updated to PUBLISHED anymore. I found this in the experiences JSON loaded by AppStoreConnect when editing the experiences: "statuses": { "doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0, "sum_other_doc_count": 0, "buckets": [ { "key": "PUBLISHED", "doc_count": 182 }, { "key": "CREATE_SUBMITTED", "doc_count": 7 }, { "key": "UPDATE_SUBMITTED", "doc_count": 3 } ] }, This shows that 10 experiences are stuck in other status than PUBLISHED. I created a Feedback with ID FB15041208 and a DTS last week. This is REALLY important for us to be fixed immediately since we have customers that rely on this!
