I am an account holder for my Team ID. I have paid Apple Developer Program too! Unfortunately, I see "Join the Apple Developer Program" and getting "Your Apple Account is already associated with the Account Holder of a membership." message. Also, I am getting "Unable to find a team with the given Team ID to which you belong. Please contact Apple Developer Program Support. https://developer.apple.com/support" error when I go to Certificates, IDs & Profiles. Help!!! Give me fix!!

Hello, I have two subscriptions stuck in "Waiting for Review" status for 14 days now and I cannot update, edit or remove them. I emailed Apple Support 6 days ago with the specific details but have not received a response as yet. Is there anything I can do as this is blocking an app update. Thank you.

Hey everyone, I'm dealing with a strange issue with auto-renewable subscriptions in my app, and hoping someone can help or point me to the right direction. Here's what happened: Earlier I got my initial app version approved and released with monthly and yearly subscriptions in App Store Connect. And I checked that the app went live, and I could see the subscriptions in a fresh App Store install. But a few weeks after that, I noticed the subscriptions were gone from the app, then I went checking in App Store Connect, and found subscriptions were in some developer attention required state (something along the line). I then submitted a new app version with an additional subscription item, hoping I could reselect the prev 2 subscriptions and the new one for review, together with the new app build. And the subscriptions were in Waiting for Review status. But app reviewer responded that they can't see any subscription for review, and can't proceed with the review. And I noticed that the Subscriptions page shows the banner Your first subscription must be submitted with a new app version. Create your subscription, then select it from the app’s In-App Purchases and Subscriptions section on the version page before submitting the version to App Review., as if I had never got any subscription approved & released before. Now I'm completely stuck. App reviewer can't see the subscriptions, and I see in App Store Connect my subscriptions are in Waiting for Review status. Thanks a lot for any help!

Hello, I’m posting a new thread in case anyone has seen this before. My Apple Developer Program membership is paid and should remain active until March 10, 2027, but my account suddenly lost access to membership-related resources. Current symptoms: developer.apple.com/account shows “Join the Apple Developer Program” In Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles, I get: “Team ID is not associated with an active membership.” A few weeks ago, I received a “We need more information” email asking for ID and proof of address. I did upload the requested documents, and after contacting Developer Support in China, I uploaded them again as a second submission. Developer Support in China has confirmed that the issue is related to an additional identity verification review, and that my second submission was forwarded to the relevant internal team. My Team ID is: 84FV5VNGS2 My China Developer Support case number is: 102922928162 But after about 3 weeks, the account is still not restored. Has anyone had a similar case? If so: how long did it take? did Apple manually restore the membership / team linkage? was there anything else you needed to do besides waiting? Any similar experience would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi, I'm unable to install my app through TestFlight. When I tap Install, TestFlight immediately shows: "The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." What I've verified: Build upload succeeds. Build processing completes successfully. Build is assigned to my internal testing group. Bundle ID is correct. Same Apple ID is used for App Store Connect and TestFlight. The app installs and runs correctly on the same iPhone when installed directly from Xcode. I've already tried: Uploading multiple new builds. Removing and reinstalling TestFlight. Restarting the device. The issue only occurs when installing through TestFlight. Has anyone experienced this recently? Is there anything else I should check? Thanks!

Hello, I am building a developer tool and for that I need to figure out which min deployment targets users technically may still specify in their Xcode projects. This page https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode indirectly says that both Xcode 26 and Xcode 27 allow setting IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET only to iOS 15.0 and newer. Also https://developer.apple.com/news/upcoming-requirements/ now says that starting April 28 2026, the apps must be built with iOS SDK 26+, meaning only Xcode 26 and newer may be used for building the apps that go to the AppStore. However in fact in Xcode 26 I can specify older iOS deployment targets, as low as iOS 12. This post here https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/805506?answerId=863871022#863871022 confirms that in fact it is possible to even submit the app to the AppStore with IPHONEOS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET 12.0 There's also this post https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/821370?answerId=882853022#882853022 that indirectly confirms that Apple still allows iOS 12.0 deployment target. Since Xcode 26 is still allowed to build apps for the AppStore even after Xcode 27.0 release, does that mean the developers may technically be able to keep specifying iOS 12, iOS 13, iOS 14 as deployment target when submitting their apps to the AppStore without having their apps rejected?

App Store Connect does not work. These forums do not work. Xcode does not work. Mac OS 26 navigation bars do not work. It's getting a little frustrating. App Store Connect: "Unable to Submit for Review To submit your items for review, add an app version for the selected platform." How? I added a new app build (are "builds" and "versions" the same, I thought they were different, but why would I create a new version of my product?) and submitted it for review. It did not take the "Ready for Review" subscription items with it. They're stuck in a separate draft review. There is no control anywhere to "add an app version." Useless error, pathetic UI, designed by people who have never used this product themselves before, clearly. These forums: Try searching for "Unable to Submit for Review To submit your items for review, add an app version for the selected platform." Get a 403 Forbidden error. Fun. Very useful. Xcode does not work. Spent a good part of my day debugging why Xcode will automatically mask Mac OS 12 icons when there is no Mac app icon specified in an asset collection in a Catalyst context, but will not mask the icon when there is a Mac icon specified. There's no messaging, no warnings, no errors, no nothing. It just does random things. The entire Catalyst idea is nice in theory but there are gotchas like these everywhere. Should you build for iOS, Mac, or iOS + Mac? The answer is "Good luck." Mac OS 26 navigation bars do not work. I'm getting black text on black backgrounds, white text on white backgrounds, sometimes, depending on whether a view loads. Seems like another Apple bug. Support is useless as always, and my record on these forums so far is that no one answers any of my questions. So I'm not sure why I bother. But maybe something I've written will help someone.

Well, here we go again. The subscription items are rejected because I have not submitted a binary. (Except I have, of course.) The binary is rejected because I have not submitted the IAP subscription items. (Except I have, of course.) Neither lets me submit the other again alongside it. Brilliant system.

I submitted my app, PerkPulse, for review and it got rejected due to EULA agreement not being in app description, and for the subscriptions not being attached to the subscription. Currently, when I try to submit my app and two subscriptions, I get the error, "There are errors with one or more of your items. To fix them, you need to remove the items and add them again to your submission." and it highlights one of my subscriptions. This is very frustrating and is blocking me from submitting my app for review. PerkPulse Pro Annually - product ID: app.perkpulse.mobile.pro_annual_v3 PerkPulse Pro Month - product ID: app.perkpulse.mobile.pro_monthly_v3 When I open the subscription group, it shows as "In Review", but I do not see any option for removing it from review so that I can attach my subscriptions. I have also had a phone call with apple support and could not get the issue resolved. I have: Deleted and recreated the subscriptions Checked all input fields, agreements to sign, etc. and cannot find an empty field Removed and re-added the subscriptions to draft submission Please any help would be appreciated.

I have two bundle ids, but they seems to be missing and I cant select anyone. this is why I cant create a new app.

Hello - My new Build Version keeps entering on its own into an old Build Version Build Box under DISTRIBUTION. So I cannot add the new Build version to my New Build Version under Distribution. I tried to delete the older Build version so no mix up but ASC will not allow this to happen. Any way to clear this mess up? Nobody to call either so have written many emails to Support but I cannot wait for a month as this app is for the summer season which is NOW.

NB Dev Support ticket has been open for 9 days 102922985821 We are experiencing significant roadblock as macOS app are stuck 'Processing' after uploading. Current 10 days stuck. It's now affecting our release roadmap, and this is even before we have to wait for the usual extended TestFlight and Production review times that exist for macOS (compared to iOS). The .pkg app is uploaded via Transporter. Transporter reports it has uploaded ok, but in App Store Connect shows it is stuck 'Processing'. Subsequent upload has the same effect. Two previous builds for this build number were rejected (Invalid Binary = signing) but have been fixed - we shouldn't have to bump the build number to free the slot to try again... Note there were a flurry of these issues in Jan 2026, but also at least one other ticket now: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/818208 Anyone else seeing this, or been able to resolve? Cheers!

Hello, My app was reviewed and rejected on June 26, 2026 (3:48 PM). I fixed every issue mentioned by the App Review team and submitted a new build. After about one week, the app was still stuck in "Waiting for Review" and had never moved to "In Review." Thinking there might have been an issue with the submission itself, I canceled it and submitted it again. Submission ID: 0e03f336-27f3-42d0-9d15-a0df4e8ac77a Unfortunately, even after re-submitting, the app is still in "Waiting for Review", and I haven't received any communication explaining the delay. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? If so, how did you get the review process moving again? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I have two subscription in the same group and the same level 1. One is a monthly one and the other a yearly one. I also have an IAP for Lifetime Unlock. When my app requests for these it only loads Monthly. Debugging reveals that the ASC doesn't return the yearly subscription and the lifetime IAP. When I added a StoreKit config to the app, it correctly show the Yearly subscription as well and the view loads it appropriately. But the storekit config doesn't load IAP. I have checked things several tiles in ASC and in code. What can I do to fix this?

Account-level TestFlight failure after app transfer. All apps (including brand-new, non-transferred app) fail with "The requested app is not available or doesn't exist" (Team JYHS43K259) Since receiving several apps via App Transfer, no app on my team can be installed through TestFlight. Every install attempt fails with: "Could not install [App Name]. The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." Critically, this affects not only the transferred apps but also a brand-new app created directly on this account with no transfer history. This indicates an account-level distribution problem rather than an app-record issue. Account details Account holder: BULENT TEKBAS Team ID: JYHS43K259 Account type: Individual Support case: 102936985904 — open for 5+ business days with no substantive response Affected apps Uyku Sesleri — Bundle ID: com.octo8.uykusesleri — Apple ID: 6759616379 — transferred to this account on June 13, 2026 Bekçilik Sınavı 2026 — Bundle ID: com.alhn7.bekciliksinavi2026 — Apple ID: 6756800265 — transferred July 1, 2026 VitaminD — Bundle ID: com.octo8.vitamind — Apple ID: 6768099487 — transferred July 9, 2026 Arete — Bundle ID: com.octo8.arete — created natively on this account, never transferred, currently TestFlight-only All four apps exhibit the identical install failure.

It fails identically to the three transferred apps. The only common factor across all four apps is the team itself. Request Could someone from Apple please check whether Team JYHS43K259 is in a held or degraded distribution state following the recent app transfers? Case 102936985904 has been unanswered for over five business days, and this is blocking updates to live apps with active subscribers. I can provide sysdiagnose logs, build IDs, or any additional information immediately.

I have a localized description of an app. I'm trying to add it in App Store Connect. Every time I save a red exclamation point is displayed with no explanation. Then all my edits disappear on reload. So I try to add a different screenshot in the new language before saving. But that fails with a red exclamation point as well but this time with an explanation: "Please save new locales before uploading screenshots or previews." Well I can't because of the first failure. In the web inspector I can see the following error: "status" : "400", "code" : "PARAMETER_ERROR.REQUIRED", "detail" : "The parameter 'filter[appStoreVersion]' is required but was not provided",

Hi my app is still "Waiting for Review" since almost a week now. Is it normal? Thank you!

Hi everyone, I'm looking to see if there is a current queue backlog or if an Apple representative might be able to take a look at our status. Our game's very first external TestFlight build has been sitting in "Waiting for Review" with no movement. App Name: Pippin Plaza - 4 Player Co-op App ID: 6787434739 Version & Build: Version 1.0 (Build 2) Submitted: July 15, 2026 Current Status: Waiting for Review The Test Information metadata, contact details, and App Tracking Transparency prompts are fully detailed and filled out. Are any other indie developers experiencing multi-day TestFlight delays this week, or is this standard for a first-time external version review right now? Any insight or visibility from Apple would be deeply appreciated!

Hello, I'm looking for advice from other developers who may have experienced unusually long App Review times. Here is my situation: • I submitted five apps on March 2, 2026. • They remained in Waiting for Review until the end of April. • They have now been In Review for several months. • I also submitted CampusGo Connect on May 14, 2026, and it is still Waiting for Review. I have contacted Apple Developer Support several times. They confirmed that my apps are still in the review process, but there have been no updates or requests for additional information. I have also verified that my Apple Developer Program membership is active, all agreements are accepted, and my App Store Connect account is functioning normally. Has anyone experienced review times this long? If so: • How long did your review eventually take? • Was there anything you did that helped? • Is there anything else I should try besides continuing to work with Developer Support? Thank you for any advice.

Hello, I have a problem with the Retention Message API. The default message is not displayed to users when they try to cancel their subscription in the device's Settings app. The API configuration was made with Revenue Request. The request to use this API was approved by Apple for our account. After configuring it for the Sandbox environment, everything worked as expected the image and text were displayed to users. Later, I applied the same configuration to the Production environment. I received the Approved status for the message, but after purchasing the subscription from the App Store, although I can see the subscription in Settings, the retention message is not displayed when I attempt to cancel it. I have tried different Apple accounts from different regions (both EU and non-EU) and tested from physical locations without using a VPN. Also, for clarification, we do not use real-time communication only the default retention message. For additional information: I also tried configuring this message from App Store Connect, as shown in WWDC 2026, but this section is not available under the Subscriptions category. When I deactivate and then reactivate the message, I notice that the deactivated state shows the text status "Waiting for sync (0/9)", while the active state shows "Approved". All other assets have an Approved state. In my case, the message is configured for all subscription types without any filters or other restrictions. What could be causing this problem, and how can I fix it? It seems that the issue is not on my side.
