Hi, Xcode Instruments shows multiple Points of Interest with the information that the framework is not listed in my Privacy Manifest. However, I have already included them in the Privacy Manifest under the privacy tracking domains. I have this problem with every tracking domain i listed in the Privacy Manifest's Privacy Tracking Domains. Did I make a mistake in my Privacy Manifest declaration?

Hi everyone, I'm working on an app for parents and kids where parents can define screen time goals or restrict usage of certain app categories (like social media or games). If the kid follows those rules—for example, by using their device less or avoiding restricted categories—they would earn points or rewards in the app. I’ve been exploring if the Apple Screen Time API allows developers to access this kind of data (like total screen time, app usage by category, etc.) so that I can track the kid’s behavior and reward them accordingly. Is it possible to programmatically access this data and implement such a reward system within my app? If so, what’s the best way to get started or which APIs should I look into? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello, I was wondering how Apple creates the opt-in figure in Apple Connect for my App. For example the installations are only the opt-ins. BUT - I do not have any analytics implemente and I don't have the Apple ATT Layer at the beginning, with which the user can allow or decline the tracking. How is the number possible in AppStore Connect? Does somebody know?

Hello Apple Developer Community, I recently encountered a serious security issue involving a third-party app development company that requested full JSON API key access to my Apple Developer account. After conducting research, I realized that granting this access would allow permanent backend control over my app—even after our contract ended. Key Issue: • Third-party developers extract JSON API keys from client accounts. • These keys allow unrestricted backend access, even after being removed from the account. • With this access, they can: • Modify apps remotely • Interfere with financial settings • Restrict client access while maintaining their own backend control Why This Matters: • This could be happening at scale, affecting many developers unknowingly. • It’s a major security risk—developers could be losing control of their apps without realizing it. • Apple’s policies do not explicitly warn against this kind of practice, which leaves developers vulnerable. I Need Guidance: • Is there an official Apple security team I can report this to? • How can developers safeguard themselves from these kinds of exploits? • Does Apple have a protocol for auditing third-party developer activity within client accounts? I have full documented evidence of this practice, including chat logs, emails, and technical breakdowns. This is a serious issue that needs the right eyes on it. Please advise on the next steps Apple recommends for reporting and addressing this vulnerability. Kindly find my evidence below. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1uZnAvJE48OazvSgMYr6-wSB1Ss5rF5r4

Hello, I'm trying to publish my app, but I'm constantly getting rejected by Apple. They're telling me I'm having issues with tracking user data. This item has been rejected for the following reasons: 5.1.2 Legal: Privacy - Data Use and Sharing I've indicated that I don't use this data for ads, that it's only used for personalization and to understand who saves items. I added the NSUserTrackingUsageDescription property to the info.plist. I run AppTrackingTransparency.requestTrackingAuthorization() when the user logs into the app, displaying a warning message. I'd say I meet all the requirements they've set for me, but they still haven't approved my app. What do you recommend? How can I speak to a physical person who can help me? Thank you very much and best regards.

Hi recent app update review was rejected because we were informed we had to implement the App Transparency Tracking UI to let users choose. (we had just successfully published two days prior to this, and we need to get some bug fixes out with a new submission) Nothing about the app with respect to data collection had changed between the successful submission and the rejection and still wondering why we were rejected for that reason. We do not track data. We do collect user info and info about app usage for user account login and app performance analytics, and also for our development cycle. So I updated the app to present the Tracking Transparency UI at startup and that is all good. Now I add the app to the submission form, and I go update our privacy policy to define what data we collect and how we are using it. I publish the updated privacy information. but now I am stuck. The submission page returns a message that I have to set up the privacy data to be able to submit for review Your app contains NSUserTrackingUsageDescription, indicating that it may request permission to track users. To submit for review, update your App Privacy response to indicate that data collected from this app will be used for tracking purposes, or update your app binary and upload a new build. Learn More But I have already defined and published that privacy data. It seems it is not finding the Privacy data or what? What could be going wrong here? Thanks for any ideas!
