I experienced a severe backend session handling error where the payment gateway used a wrong billing token, despite the frontend UI explicitly displaying the current user's details. This resulted in an accidental renewal of a different developer account. The Setup You opened the Developer App and logged in as ____. You filled in your details correctly (Name: AB, Last Name: CD). The screen confirmed this: "You are paying for ____." The Action You pressed the Enroll/Pay button. You approved the payment with your card/UPI. The Invisible Switch (The Bug) At the exact moment you clicked "Pay," the Apple App didn't look at the screen you were seeing. Instead, it looked deep into your phone’s history and said: "Wait, I know this phone! This phone belongs to an old account that already has a membership. I'll just renew that one." The Result The system took your money and sent it to the Old Account it remembered from history, completely ignoring the New Account (____) that was right there on the screen. The Outcome New Account (____): Still says "Pending" because it never got the money. Old Account: Got renewed instantly because the system prioritized the "device history" over the "logged-in user." It was a bait-and-switch by the app. You clicked "Pay" for AB, but the wire connected to Old Friend.

Although the application functions correctly when deployed locally to a physical iPhone using Flutter (direct debug/development build via Xcode), we are encountering the following issues only within App Store Connect / TestFlight: 1- Internal Testing Issue: After completing all required steps in App Store Connect and adding internal testers, testers are unable to install the app. TestFlight displays the error: “Could not install app. The requested app is not available or doesn’t exist.” 2- External Testing Issue: When attempting to add a processed build to an External Testing group (Public Link), App Store Connect returns the following message: “There was an error processing your request. Please try again later.” The build has successfully uploaded and processed, and is marked as Ready to Submit in TestFlight. These issues do not occur during direct device deployment and appear to be isolated to TestFlight / App Store Connect. We would appreciate guidance on how to solve this issue which is preventing TestFlight distribution. *Note: we tried multible builds and upgraded the version 4 times, and we signed all agreements.

I am setting up a new app and am having problems with Xcode Cloud. From Xcode if I click on the "Cloud" button under the Report Navigator I get a spinner for a long time then get the message "Could not load Xcode Cloud data". I also visited the "Xcode Cloud" tab under my app in App Store Connect and I get a spinner and nothing loads. This is a recent account and I'm setting up Xcode Cloud for the first time. Below is what I've tried and I'm out of ideas on how to get this working. In Xcode, I signed out and back in as the Account Holder Closed Xcode and reopened This occurred yesterday and today and have not seen a problem under the Apple System Status page On the latest Xcode 16.2 Checked the Signing & Capabilities tab in Xcode and my team a bundle Id is correct and it's happy with signing. At this time on my machine I am using the distribution profile.

在已经上架的App，新增In-app Purchase，6小时后正在审核,一周过去了，还是In Review,没有收到结果，发邮件询问，让继续等待，正常都是48小时有结果的,,不知道遇到什么问题， 如何去解决这个问题呢？ 挺焦虑的....... On the already listed App, I added "In-App Purchase". It was under Review 6 hours later. A week has passed and it's still "In Review". I haven't received the result yet. I sent an email to inquire and asked to keep waiting. Normally, there is a result within 48 hours. I don't know what problem I encountered and how to solve it. Quite anxious....... Quite anxious.......

Hello, We have completed the Age Rating confirmation form and submitted it successfully. Additionally, we increased the app version, rebuilt, and uploaded a new build as recommended. However, we still received the email stating that “Your app requires additional information”. Could you please confirm whether any further action is required on our side, or if this is a known issue on App Store Connect? Thank you.

I recently began developing iOS apps in 2025. I enrolled in an Apple Developer Account on December 10, 2025 and expected to get App Store Connect to upload my app to the app store. After succesfully paying for a membership, I tried to access App Store Connect but I'm redirected to the now-defunct iTunes Connect. Worst part is the URL mentions AppStore Connect, but the slug points to iTunesConnect and I can't get out of it: https://appstoreconnect.apple.com/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa/ra/gettingstarted From here, if I click on the "Apps" button, it redirects me again to the https://developer.apple.com/programs/ website. This is read-only documentation, and I can't take any action to upload my apps. Interestingly enough, if I try to access appstoreconnect.apple.com from Safari, the above loop happens. But if I try to access it from Arc Browser, I see this error instead: To access App Store Connect, you must be an individual or team member in the Apple Developer Program, or invited by an individual to access their content in App Store Connect.

I am already an enrolled apple dev. When I click on Program resources-App Store Connect-Users and Access, it jumps to appstoreconnect.apple.com which prompts me to login. After doing so, is shows a screen like this Then, if I click on the apps button it takes me to https://developer.apple.com/programs/ and the loop begins.

Dear Reviewers/Apple Team/Community, We have trying to submit our app continuously for review and being rejected continuously by Apple. Our app works perfectly fine in TestFlight using the same ID apple is using. We have also provided recorded video of the testing in TestFlight to Apple reviewer. However, despite our requests below things are not done: Before testing the in-app purchase subscription are not being approved, despite us requesting the same every time during submissions. At times we are getting snapshots under error category, where everything is correct even from Apple testing. We have no other way but to explain, give snapshots, give videos to Apple to help them understand how to test the app. We have requested the reviewers multiple times for a call, but we got a call only 1 time. We are not sure what is the way we can get to talk with the reviewer and understand from them the issue they are facing. Can anyone please help us out? Below is one example, it was given it us under error category, where even with apple standard, the purchase is successful. Can someone help us out plz.

I've been able to submit my app without issue so far until today, but it looks like app icon requirements either changed or being enforced differently? Validation failed Missing required icon file. The bundle does not contain an app icon for iPhone / iPod Touch of exactly '120x120' pixels, in .png format for iOS versions >= 10.0. To support older versions of iOS, the icon may be required in the bundle outside of an asset catalog. Make sure the Info.plist file includes appropriate entries referencing the file.

iosアプリをAppStoreへ公開した後に何らかの理由で戻しが必要になった場合、緊急申請で問題無いアプリを再リリースするのが最速の方法でしょうか？ もしも、より良い方法があれば教えてください。 戻し用のアプリバージョンを用意しておいてリリース予定のアプリを公開した後にすぐ審査を回すという方法を見つけたのですが、審査の90%が24時間以内（ちょっと数字が違うかも？）と言われている以上緊急申請の方が早いですか？

Dear Apple Support, I am writing to report a payment issue with my App Store Connect developer account. The latest payment is marked as "Paid" in the Payments and Financial Reports section, but as of today, more than 3 business days have passed and the funds have not yet arrived in my bank account. I have double-checked that my banking information is accurate and up to date. I would appreciate it if you could investigate this issue and provide further clarification on the current status of the payment. Thank you in advance for your support.

Logging out: The platform logs people out super quickly (e.g. within like a couple of hours), it would be great to be able to stay logged in within the same day and not have to log back in every time. Latency: In general, it can be really slow to load, and sometimes pages fully load without anything on them. The team then has to refresh the page for e.g. dashboards to be shown Submission of PPO & In-app events: PPO tests and in-app events can only be submitted on the latest version, which means that you need to wait for a period when we're not having a new version of the app reviewed. If this is regularly the case, it's difficult to submit. Sometimes you then submit e.g. an in-app event, but it takes a while and the review is removed in favour of an app update. Solution: The whole thing should follow a similar process to CPPs whereby you don't need to upload to the latest version, or you should be able to select which app version you're uploading to and be able to select the latest. Rather than having to delete and build again every time. Pricing updates: The amount of time that it takes to change pricing is insane and results in a reluctance to make price changes. There are a number of ways that this could be improved: a) Don't only allow us to select prices from a drop down list. This process adds like 3 extra clicks to every single price change. Just make the prices editable (e.g you can type) in a list, Google Play Console does this very well. b) For promotions, allow us to set e.g. "20% off the default price" and then when we make pricing updates to the default price the promotional price will update automatically. Instead currently we have to go in and manually calculate 20% off every single price based on the new price and update it ourselves, it's crazy. Reporting on promotions: Currently, there is no ability to see a time series of conversions with specific promotions with configurable date ranges, you can just see the total redemptions up to a certain date. This means we're manually having to look at the number of redemptions up to a certain date and then if we wanted to see a daily breakdown we'd need to look at ever date in isolation and calculate the increase in number of redemptions.

Hello, My app (App ID: 1616628950) is already published on the App Store, but recently we’ve been unable to install the TestFlight build for testing. The TestFlight build shows the green “Testing” status, but whenever we try to install it, we get this message: “Could not install / The requested application is not available or does not exist.” The TestFlight version is the same as the one currently live on the App Store, and the App Store version installs without any issue. I wanted to share this here in case someone from the team could check whether the TestFlight build might be stuck or misconfigured on the backend. Thank you very much for your time and help!

I want to keep an eye on the App Store Connect release notes to find out when builds created with Xcode 26.2 RC will be accepted. I tried to add https://developer.apple.com/help/app-store-connect/release-notes/ to my RSS reeder but the items listed are not the same, it’s the items from the latest news from Apple Developer instead. Can we get an RSS feed please? Seems will be useful to monitor these release notes over time.

Summary App Store Connect validation (Transporter) is rejecting a build that includes a ReplayKit Broadcast Upload extension. The validator reports that RPBroadcastProcessMode is “not specified”, but the shipped IPA’s Upload appex Info.plist has the key at the documented nested path, and Apple’s own analyser (swinfo) shows the same key/value. Error (Transporter 409) “Invalid Info.plist value. The value for the key 'RPBroadcastProcessMode' in bundle BeamRoomHost.app/PlugIns/BeamRoomUpload2.appex is invalid. RPBroadcastProcessMode value must be 'RPBroadcastProcessModeSampleBuffer' or 'RPBroadcastProcessModeMP4Clip'. The key was not specified.” Example error ID seen: 94ec8b42-ef1b-44e8-9d70-2c76458e1bb3 Environment • Xcode 26.0.1 (17A400) • macOS 15.6 (24G84) • Transporter 1.3.4 (13410) • App Apple ID: 6752822011 • Host bundle: com.conornolan.BeamRoomHost • Upload appex bundle: com.conornolan.BeamRoomHost.BeamRoomUpload2 • Version/Build: 0.9.4 (14) Most recent reproduction: 2025-10-02 ~09:00 GMT+1 Proof the key exists (from the IPA) Inside the IPA at: Payload/BeamRoomHost.app/PlugIns/BeamRoomUpload2.appex/Info.plist NSExtension.NSExtensionPointIdentifier = com.apple.broadcast-services-upload NSExtension.NSExtensionAttributes.RPBroadcastProcessMode = RPBroadcastProcessModeSampleBuffer Proof from Apple’s analyser (swinfo) for the same IPA asset-description.plist contains: … RPBroadcastProcessMode = RPBroadcastProcessModeSampleBuffer … Minimal plist shape used (Upload appex Info.plist) CFBundleDevelopmentRegionen-GB CFBundleExecutable$(EXECUTABLE_NAME) CFBundleIdentifier$(PRODUCT_BUNDLE_IDENTIFIER) CFBundleInfoDictionaryVersion6.0 CFBundleName$(PRODUCT_NAME) CFBundlePackageTypeXPC!

In every case the IPA and swinfo show the key/value, yet ASC reports “not specified”. Questions • Is there a current ingest/validator issue where RPBroadcastProcessMode is not read from the nested path in Upload appex Info.plist? • Are there any additional expectations for ReplayKit Upload appex in ASC validation beyond the documented nested key? • Any recommended workaround while this is investigated? Cross-references • Feedback Assistant ID: FB20412340 (contains full IPA, asset-description.plist, screenshots, and a short Transporter screen recording). • Developer Support case: 102707552863. • Recent x-apple-request-uuid example: 30aa2221-3df3-10a2-b161-b59df37f080c. • SHA-256 for the ZIP of artefacts attached in Feedback: f7397c13e85d4ef0f5722ea75821ad04d51fe5f103ed03dbac646d3902e91227. Happy to provide a minimal repro project if helpful. Thanks in advance for any guidance or confirmation from the ASC/build-processing side.

Hi everyone, I’m unable to enable Xcode Cloud for any app on my account. At the final step of the Xcode workflow setup (“Confirm App on App Store Connect”), pressing Complete always returns: “ could not be added to Xcode Cloud. Authentication credentials are invalid.” This affects both existing apps and completely new test apps with fresh bundle IDs. What I’ve verified • I am Account Holder and Admin. • All agreements are accepted. • App creation, bundle ID registration, and certificate management work normally. • I’ve removed/re-added my Apple ID in Xcode and cleared all Xcode-* tokens from Keychain. • Test apps in clean Git repos reproduce the same error. Support I have already opened Case ID 102769512657 with Apple Developer Support, but I’m posting here in case others have seen this issue or know of additional steps to confirm the provisioning state.

90714: Invalid binary. The app contains one or more corrupted binaries. Please rebuild the app and resubmit. 我开发的OC项目，三个月前打包分发还没有问题，半个月前开始就一直报这个错。查了很多资料都无法解决，所有的SDK也都升级了，还是报这个错，麻烦Apple的工程师帮忙指正一下问题，如何解决这个问题。

Hello, I submitted my application for review and it's not being processed. Each time, I wait months for a response. This is incredibly frustrating because I'm already too late to announce my project. I've repeatedly requested an expedited review, but it doesn't work. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue?

Started an ASO challenge on an older mother-baby app and began by analyzing competitors’ ranked keywords to uncover gaps, relevance, and high-intent phrases using tools like Appvector. By identifying core keyword roots and filtering by context and search intent, I narrowed down high-value opportunities to expand from 146 to over 1,000 relevant search terms for the next steps in the ASO strategy.
