I’m submitting the first auto-renewable subscriptions for my iOS app. Apple’s documentation says the subscriptions should be selectable from the app version page under ‘In-App Purchases and Subscriptions,’ but that section does not appear on my version page even though the build is attached and the subscriptions exist in App Store Connect. The subscriptions currently show ‘Waiting for Review.’ Please advise how to attach the subscriptions to the app version so I can complete first-time subscription submission.

I'm building a macOS app with two separate NSPanel windows, both using the new liquid glass material (NSVisualEffectView / macOS 26). The UI intentionally has two separate floating panels visible at the same time. The problem: only the key window displays the active liquid glass appearance. The non-key panel always renders with the inactive/foggy appearance, even with: NSWindowStyleMaskNonactivatingPanel canBecomeKeyWindow = false orderFrontRegardless() addChildWindow(_:ordered:) Is there any way — documented or otherwise — to force the active liquid glass appearance on a non-key NSPanel? Or is this fundamentally a compositor-level restriction? If it's impossible with two separate windows, is there an alternative approach to achieve two visually separate liquid glass boxes that both appear active simultaneously?

I have purchase an Apple developer account on the 9th of March 2026, but the purchase still shows pending... I have sent the apple support team 3 emails which not one has been responded to... This is getting ridiculous now. If anyone knows how I can resolve this issue please reach out to me. I have proof of payment for my account over email but zero response from Apple.

I’m reporting a severe reproducible issue in Instruments, specifically when using the SwiftUI instrument and opening Show Cause & Effect Graph. What happens: • Instruments becomes extremely laggy/unresponsive • The graph/detail area can turn solid magenta/pink • Memory usage rapidly increases (I observed around 18 GB, 25 GB, and up to 34 GB) • My Mac has crashed/restarted during this, or in other terms, had a kernel panic, where my Mac froze, and everything unresponsive. The Trackpad wouldn't even click. Important detail: • I could not find a generated kernel panic log after the crash/restart. Repro context: • SwiftUI iOS app profiled from Xcode • Trigger is specifically entering Show Cause & Effect Graph • Recordings can be short and still trigger it • Issue is much less severe or absent if I avoid that view What I already tried: • Rebooting • Short captures / fewer instruments • Clearing Xcode/Instruments caches/preferences • Retesting after cleanup • Reinstalling Xcode Is this a known Instruments regression? Is there a workaround besides avoiding Show Cause & Effect Graph? What exact diagnostics should I collect when no kernel panic file is generated? Specs: Xcode Version 26.3 (17C529) Instruments Version 26.3 (17C529) macOS Version 26.4 Beta (25E5223i) MacBook Pro 13-inch, M1, 2020, 16 GB RAM

I am distributing my project as Apple Business Manager, but App Availability gives a Cannot Sell warning in my distribution country and I cannot show my application. My country is Türkiye. Why am I having such a distribution problem? Please I would like detailed information on this subject. Is this a software issue or an issue with my application? My application is currently in 1.0.1 Ready for Sale status and I am trying to distribute my application as Private — Available as a custom app on Apple Business Manager.

On XCode 26.x, calling XCFail with continueAfterFailure set to false causes xcodebuild command to hang indefinitely if the XCUIApplication object is stored outside the test method. Create a new template iOS App project with UI tests Add XCFail(...) to a UI test test-case Set the XCUIApplication in self.app (avoiding this fixes the hang) Run tests with xcodebuild test The terminal hangs forever Reproduction example import XCTest final class TestAppUITests: XCTestCase { var app: XCUIApplication? = nil override func setUpWithError() throws { continueAfterFailure = false } override func tearDownWithError() throws { app?.terminate() } @MainActor func testExample() throws { let app = XCUIApplication() self.app = app // <- HERE this causes the problem app.launch() XCTFail() } } Reproduction environment macOS Sequoia 15.7.3 Tested XCode 26.3 and XCode 26.2 have the hang Tested XCode 16.4 does work as expected XCode 16.4 The issue does not happen on XCode 16.4, and is likely introduced in XCode 26. Related threads: https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/809989 https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/793307 Work-around Do not store XCUIApplication in the XCTestCase instance, maintain it scoped to the test methods.

I have Xcode 26.1.1 (installed on a Mac Mini with Sequoia 15.7.2), which was installed from the Universal .xip file available from the Apple Developer site. This file is 2.7Gb. When Xcode is run, there is a menu item at Settings -> Components, and the top section "Platform Support" includes an option to "Get" the iOS SDK, which is an additional 10.3Gb download.[1][2] I would like to either use command-line tools to obtain this iOS SDK component, or find where the downloaded package or its contents are installed on this Mac. This Apple Documentation some examples of using command-line tools to download components for Xcode. However, there is no specific documentation on how to separately download the iOS SDK. It seems that if possible, it could be done with "xcodebuild -downloadComponent", however I have tried a number of likely component names (ios, ios_sdk, ios26.1, ios_sdk26.1, iphoneos, iphoneos_sdk, iphoneos_sdk26.1), and none are valid. Does anyone know either where the SDK download can be found, or how to download it using command-line tools? Background: I require this as I am managing a fleet of Mac Minis located in a data centre (used for iOS/Android builds), and Internet access is restricted - any action requiring Internet access needs the Mac to be removed from the machine room racks and taken to a build room, then connected to a mobile hotspot or similar. This access is slow, and the above 10.3Gb download can take over an hour. If I can download the SDK separately, I can distribute it to all of the Macs over the internal network overnight, in advance of visiting the DC for upgrade tasks. [1] Various web sites say that the iOS SDK is "bundled with" Xcode. However, if that's the case a) how is a 10.3Gb download somehow included in a 2.7Gb file? And b) why do I still need to "Get" this component after installing Xcode from the 2.7Gb file? [2] Note that I am not looking for the iOS Simulator, I have already downloaded the iOS 26.1 version of this. I am specifically looking for the iOS SDK as listed under "Platform Support" in the Xcode menu described above.

Hey everyone I submitted my enrollment for the App Store Small Business Program on February 18th and I'm still waiting for a decision no response yet even after following up. I know Apple doesn't publish an official timeline, so I wanted to ask the community: How long did it take for your enrollment to be approved (or rejected)? A few things that would help: How many days/weeks did you wait? Did you get any follow-up emails asking for more info, or was it just a straight approval? Is there anything you did that helped speed things up? Would really appreciate hearing your experiences it's a bit nerve-wracking waiting without any status update! Thanks in advance!

I work on some proprietary codebases and can only use private AI services with them (currently MiniMax M2.1 and GLM 4.7). It all works great with both Claude Code and OpenCode agents, and I'd like to leverage the new agentic capabilities that are now in Xcode 26.3. I'm not seeing any option to connect to OpenCode, and both the Anthropic and OpenAI providers require an enterprise account (which I don't have access to). Are there any options that I'm missing here?

My team is distributing a cross-platform app outside the Mac App Store via ZIP file. The app works perfectly on Windows, but on macOS, while the ZIP downloads and extracts without issue, the app refuses to open. Users see either the app appear in the dock then immediately disappear or a Gatekeeper prompt saying the developer cannot be verified. We suspect the root cause is related to code signing and/or notarization, but we're not entirely sure where the breakdown is occurring. We have a few questions as we work through this. For ZIP-based distribution outside the Mac App Store, is both a Developer ID certificate and Apple notarization required on current macOS versions? We've also seen references to using ditto instead of Finder's built-in Compress option when packaging the ZIP. Is that necessary to properly preserve the app bundle structure and extended attributes? Any guidance on where this process might be going wrong would be hugely appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I'm posting a boot crash here. Environment Hardware: Macbook M5 Pro OS Version: macOS 26.3.1 (25D2128) and matching version of KDK from official apple download page Kernel Version: Darwin Kernel Version 25.3.0 Reproducibility: Consistent Here is my panic log --- I truncated one field "SOCDNandContainer" as the original log is too long to post, hitting the size limit. I followed a blog post to boot the development kernel as the ReadMe file from KDK only contains instructions for Intel Macs. https://jaitechwriteups.blogspot.com/2025/10/boot-custom-macos-kernel-on-macos-apple.html I've tried a few 26.2 KDKs before 26.3.1 public launch, and they all showed same errors (26.1 and 26.0 KDKs don't have any development kernel for T8142 chip). Also, I own two fresh M5 Pro, and it is consistent across the machines. The highlight is panic(cpu 8 caller 0xfffffe0050e18010): [Exclaves] $JgOSLogServerComponent.RedactedLogServer.init(logServerNotific:OSLogServerComponent\/OSLogServerComponent_Swift.swift:815: Fatal error: invalid rawValue for TightbeamComponents.RedactedLogSer at PC ... Is this a genuine bug or am I following a wrong guide to boot the development kernel? I don't think the blog is wrong because I'm able to boot the "release" kernel included in the KDK on the same M5 Pro, and the "development" kernel on M4 Mac Mini, using the same routine. Just to be clear, I'm not compiling XNU myself, but am using the ones included in the kit.

I've recently updated to Xcode 26.3 and I can't download any iOS Simulator Runtime from 26.2 to 18.0, every download gives me: Download failed.

I saw some reddit posts where they suggested to check out VPNs, host files and other stuff but everything was okay, also I can reach apple cdns etc. I also tried using Xcode beta 26.4 and going back to 26.2 but still the same problem. Anyone has a solution?

My project uses about 10 local packages. When Xcode determins its dependencies graph it includes project Foo (a package) and project Foo_Foo (???). This is a no op for normal builds, but causes the Foo package to be linked twice for test builds which then fail due to duplicate symbols. Nowhere in my repository is Foo_Foo defined or reference. Nowhere in the .xcodeproj/ folder is there mention of Foo_Foo. What am I doing wrong?

Hi everyone, I am developing a benchmarking tool to measure memory latency (L1/L2/DRAM) on Apple Silicon. I am currently using Xcode Instruments (CPU Counters) to validate my results. In my latest run for a 128 MB buffer with random access, Instruments shows: Latency (cycles): ~259 cycles (derived from LDST_UNIT_OLD_L1D_CACHE_MISS / L1D_CACHE_MISS_LD). Manual Timer Result: ~80 ns. To correlate these two values, I need the exact CPU Frequency (GHz) at the time of the sample. My Questions: Is there a recommended way to programmatically fetch the current frequency of the Performance cores (p-cores) during a benchmark run? Does Apple provide a "nominal" frequency value for M-series chips that we should use for cycle-to-nanosecond conversions? In Instruments, is there a hidden counter or "Average Frequency" metric that I can enable to avoid manual math? Hardware/Software Environment: Tool: Instruments 26.3+ (CPU Counters Template). Chip: A19, iPhone 17 pro. OS: 26.3.

Issue from App Review: My app shows a custom explanation screen before triggering the system location permission dialog. This screen explains why location access is needed. It includes: A “Continue” button → triggers the system permission dialog A “Not Now” button → dismisses the explanation and delays the permission request Apple states that: “The user should always proceed to the permission request after the message.” They are asking me to remove the exit button from the pre-permission message. My Questions Is it now against policy to include a “Not Now” option in a pre-permission explainer screen? Are we required to immediately show the system permission dialog after any pre-permission explanation? What is the recommended UX pattern if the feature depends on location but I don’t want to force the permission immediately at launch? Would it be compliant to: Remove the “Not Now” button, OR Remove the custom pre-prompt entirely and rely only on the system dialog? The feature in question requires location to function properly, but I want to implement it in a user-friendly way that respects user choice and avoids unnecessary denial rates. If anyone has recently resolved a similar 5.1.1(iv) issue, I’d really appreciate hearing how you handled it. Thank you in advance for your help!

I have two apps; one is a subset of functionality of the other. The smaller app has about 170 Swift files. The larger app has these files plus about 120 more. So I would expect the larger app to take around twice as long to build. Instead, the smaller app takes less than a minute to build while the larger app takes over 13 minutes to build; to be exact, it takes 15.3 times longer. While reviewing the build report, I noticed that the smaller app compiles the Swift files in batches, with each batch taking around 10 seconds, but with up to 17 batches running at once. In contrast, the larger app compiles all 290 Swift files in one giant batch, so apparently there is no multithreading of the Swift compilation (see screen shots below). The difference in the number of batches the smaller app compiles at once roughly corresponds to the difference in overall build time. Is there a build setting I can change to make the larger app compile Swift files in multiple smaller batches as the smaller app is doing? I checked SWIFT_COMPILATION_MODE and it's the same in both apps (Incremental for debugging and Whole Module for release) but I don't know what other settings I should check.

When I create an archive file and attempt to upload the app using the "Distribute App" button, the upload fails with the error "Automatic signing cannot update bundle identifier...". (The detailed message is below.) When creating an archive file in Xcode, I unchecked "Automatically Manage Signing" and proceeded with the archive. The message says "Font Enumeration," but other apps with the same option enabled upload successfully. Therefore, I believe the "Font Enumeration" option is not the issue. I tried creating a new provisioning file, but it still doesn't work. I deleted all DerivedData files from my Mac storage, restarted Xcode, and tried again, but it still doesn't work. This keeps happening only for certain targets (specific apps) in Xcode. Does anyone know how to fix this? Xcode is the latest version. Message: Automatic signing cannot update bundle identifier "com.xxxxxx.xxxxxx". Automatic signing cannot update your registered bundle identifier to enable Font Enumeration. Update your bundle identifier on https://developer.apple.com/account and then try again.
