In process of creating an iOS app and installed Xcode 27, now when I add a simulator in the Device Hub the iOS version needs to be 27 or I get an incompatible version error. Also when I select the top app icon the tabs such as the build settings is not showing, only the non-modifiable text file. I'm sure the fix for both is simple but I need pointed in the right direction.

I have a problem downloading Xcode components like Metal Toolchain or Developer Documentation. The action stuck with the status "Preparing to download". The symptoms started several weeks ago. I noticed this when my copy of Xcode 27 beta stopped showing the developer documentation. Strangely, when I re-launched Xcode it insists to download the Developer Documentation and keep showing "Preparing to download" while other components like Metal Toolchain, when I quit Xcode, it cancels the component download and that component status reverts to "Get". The symptoms continue thru the released version of Xcode27. Does anyone know the cure?

Circling back on the LocalLM Lab arc. With v0.7, we've moved from prompt experimentation into real app development on Apple's Foundation Models local AI. The LocalLM Lab SDK lets you build that same on-device model and MCP client this thread has covered directly into your own app, with real tool and data access (Slack, Todoist, GitHub, Notion, Linear, plus Calendar, Reminders, Contacts and Location). And you can ship your app including through the Mac App Store. This is a big improvement over version 0.6, where the localai-cli toolkit needed LocalLM Lab installed and running. On the other hand, the SDK (LocalLMLabSDKCore) doesn't relay through anything; it links FoundationModels and a real MCP client directly into your own binary and is totally self-contained. The example included in the SDK, Plate Today, has actually been built into a sandboxed test app and verified working, with a signed path to a Mac App Store .pkg (Apple Distribution signing + provisioning profile pipeline). That's "verified signable and sandbox-compatible," to be precise. Entitlements (from personal experience: always a complicated topic): com.apple.security.app-sandbox + com.apple.security.network.client for the app itself, plus the standard personal-information entitlements per connector used (com.apple.security.personal-information.calendars, .addressbook, .location) and matching NS*UsageDescription strings in Info.plist. The one worth flagging specifically: the network entitlement is easy to miss and fails silently rather than throwing. Without it, MCP connections and Weather calls just hang with no error surfaced. OAuth handling requires the app delegate callback (application(_:open:)), not SwiftUI's .onOpenURL. Worth knowing before wiring it up if you're SwiftUI-only. Full entitlements list + SDK guide: https://github.com/ancientcomputing/locallm/blob/main/docs/sdk-guide.md Feature page: thisbrain.ai/locallm/sdk.html I hope the availability of the SDK (free, Apache 2.0 license) will give folks further incentive to explore local AI-enabled applications on the Mac. What else would you want to do that the SDK doesn't currently support? File picker? Calendar/Reminders/Contacts edits & writes?

It has been two years since I wrote my a SwiftUI app, and I wanted to start again in Xcode 26. I can no longer see the attributes inspector when I select an element in the canvas. This was an Xcode feature that was very helpful as I am still a novice. Has this feature been deprecated in Xcode 26? And if not, please help explain how I can find and use it.

Good day, I'm trying to resolve the EU "Digital Services Act" compliance for my employer's Apple Developer account, but I'm stuck on verifying the phone number. The email verification code came through without any issue. We are located in South Africa, with a "+27" area code and the number I need to use here is a landline that comes through to the receptionist at our head office. This number does not have the ability to receive text messages, so I selected the "Didn't get a verification code?" link and chose the receive a phone call instead, however the call never comes through. Calling the number from my cellphone goes straight through to the receptionist, there are no digital switchboard prompts for the caller to select from. I tried this numerous times this Friday just past, and again twice now today, still no luck. I've requested an official document from my manager to see if I can go that route to verify the details, but so far nobody seems to be able to find an appropriate document for me to use... :( Is there anything else that I can do here?

Hi. On my iOS app, both the app store and the device are making changes to my app icon to make it look more Liquid-Glass. See attached image showing my original icon, and then how it appears on the app store and on devices. There is an added bevel/3d effect. I'd like to not have this happen. Did anybody figure out how to turn this off? So that the icon appears as submitted. I've played around with Icon Composer a bit but haven't managed to turn this off there. And would prefer to just submit the png's. Thank you!

My Apple Developer account was recently terminated, and I received an email stating that the reason was section 3.2(f) of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement. However, I have not changed anything recently in our apps, business model, or developer activity, and I genuinely do not understand the reason behind this termination. I have always tried to follow Apple’s guidelines carefully and act in good faith. This termination has severely impacted my work and users, and I am urgently requesting clarification regarding what exactly triggered this action. If someone from Apple or the App Review / Developer Relations team could please contact me or review the case again, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

I am using Xcode 26.2, ProductBuildVersion 17C52. I read the xcodebuild(1) manual included with this installation. It describes -checkFirstLaunchStatus as checking whether additional system components or configuration tasks need to be performed, and says that it exits with 0 when system components are up to date. However, it does not explicitly state whether this result includes acceptance of the currently required Xcode and SDK license agreements. Does exit status 0 from: /usr/bin/xcodebuild -checkFirstLaunchStatus also confirm that the required Xcode and SDK license agreements are already accepted? If not, is there a supported, status-only command or user-interface location that reports whether those agreements are currently accepted, without accepting or reaccepting them, installing components, or running a build? Please clarify: The supported command or interface, if one exists. The meaning of its possible status results. Any required privileges. Whether invoking it can change any system or Xcode state. If no supported non-mutating method exists for checking license acceptance separately, please confirm that as well. I have reviewed the locally installed documentation but have not executed the proposed xcodebuild command.

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.

Please help me i waiting for long time can not got email back, what wrong? We are processing your order and will send you and activation email when it's ready. Please note that it may take up to two business days to process your order.

My apps are legacy codebases still using AppDelegate instead of SceneDelegate. According to TN3187: Migrating to the UIKit scene-based life cycle, apps should migrate to the scene-based lifecycle. I have the following questions: Is there a specific timeline or deadline for when this migration will be enforced? Will there be deprecation warnings before the assert is triggered? I've tested my app with Xcode 27 beta, and it's not showing any errors or warnings related to this requirement. Based on this, I'm assuming this scene delegate migration may not be relevant for Apple's yearly requirement to submit new apps with the latest iOS SDK, and won't be enforced in April when "apps uploaded to App Store Connect must be built with Xcode 27 or later using an SDK for iOS 27." Can someone confirm if this understanding is correct?

I want to obtain the precise temperature of the CPU core of the iPhone. What should I do?

I'm going through Company/Organization enrollment in Egypt. D&B's local representative there emailed me on 30 August 2026 requesting a set of documents (questionnaire, registration extract, tax document, ID, declaration letter) — with a deadline of 31 August 2026. That's roughly one business day to gather and prepare everything. On the morning of 31 August 2026 (the deadline day itself, ~06:36 AM UTC — the very morning of the day, the deadline hadn't even ended yet), I received an automated email from D&B's iResearch system saying my case had been "resolved" as "D-U-N-S Number could not be created — Insufficient information provided," noting that an official correspondence had been sent but no reply had been received yet. while we're still in the morning of the only day they gave me as deadline. Later that same day, 31 August 2026 — still within the original deadline — I sent my complete reply to the local representative with all requested documents, including a signed and bank-verified declaration letter. My best guess is that this is two disconnected systems on two different clocks: the automated global case running its own internal timeout logic, separate from the human deadline the local rep set for their own manual process — a coordination gap between systems, not the local rep actually missing anything or breaking their own rule. My question: given the deadline was only ever 31 August, and the automated system closed my case as "no reply" on the morning of that same day (before the day was even over, before the day even started), does this closed status mean anything negative? Is a direct reply to the local representative, sent within the original deadline, enough to move things forward — or does a case auto-closed like this need to be explicitly reopened/relinked? Has anyone dealt with a one-day-turnaround request like this and had it auto-close prematurely? What I want to know: is that read correct? Does an automated "case resolved / insufficient information" status from the global system carry any actual weight if the local representative received my reply within the deadline they set — or is this genuinely just a stale, disconnected status that the local rep can override once they process what I sent? Has anyone seen this exact split between an automated case and a human-set deadline, and can confirm which side actually governs the outcome?

Hello everyone, why should our account with a binary file that is public and all developers can use it be closed according to the 4.3 guideline? But Planet VPN which has more than 11 apps and many other developers can easily use it and there are no problems, be closed? Are these rules only for our company with more than 20+ employees? That our years of effort can end in one day with the decision of an inspector who only checks a system message? Maybe you can check the links: https://apps.apple.com/ae/app/japan-vpn-secure-proxy/id6499425450 https://apps.apple.com/ae/app/vpn-canada-fast-private/id6499426249 https://apps.apple.com/ae/app/vpn-turkey-fast-and-private/id6499426037 https://apps.apple.com/ae/app/vpn-india-private-secure/id6477943653 And you have access to more than 7 other apps and you can see the developer page, blocking an account because of a legal line is not right! According to Apple's fraud or abuse or circumvention rules, this could include account banning, but we can prove with evidence that the reason for marking binary similarity with other developers is simply a public branch that all developers can use on GitHub. Is there really anyone who monitors that the review team does not make dictatorial decisions? If they do not review for more than a month or continue to refuse to accept the developer's application for approval despite explanations and documentation, they have not made a mistake. But if the developers do not change the structure of a public library that is not necessary to build at all due to the similarity of the work, like OpenVPN at its core, they are linking you to other developers who have violated the rules!!! I agree with you, a reviewer whose literacy is at the level of a primary school child. https://github.com/XTLS/Xray-core Many developers may use this core and break the rules. There is no reason why your system should automatically attribute it. You can also impose the same due to the inconvenience and harassment of other developers. You can decide with your own eyes and mind. I wrote this so that maybe a good and responsible person can solve it. Respect to the review team and their senior managers. Regards

Pending Termination Notice Under Section 3.2(f) – Seeking Guidance Regarding Developer Identity Verification Hello, Case ID: 20000132641773 I am seeking guidance regarding a Pending Termination Notice that I recently received under Section 3.2(f) and App Review Guideline 5.6.2 (Developer Identity). I fully respect Apple's policies and have always tried to operate within the App Store guidelines. However, I am struggling to understand the identity-related concerns mentioned in the notice. My Situation I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an Individual developer. I completed the standard enrollment process and paid the membership fee. My developer account was approved and activated by Apple. During enrollment, I was not asked to upload a passport, National ID Card, driver's license, or any other identity verification documents. The account has been active for several years. I have multiple published applications and have invested significant resources into their development and growth. My Main Concern The notice states that Apple believes fraudulent or false identity information may have been provided. However: I have never intentionally misrepresented my identity. The name on the account belongs to me. I am fully willing to complete any identity verification process. I can immediately provide my Passport, National ID Card, Driver's License, proof of address, or any other documents Apple may require. Significant Business Impact The termination notice has affected all applications associated with my account. As a result: App transfers are disabled. Earnings payments are paused. Existing applications are impacted. Ongoing user acquisition and marketing campaigns have been disrupted. I have invested heavily in growing these applications, including substantial advertising spend through Meta Ads and other marketing channels. I can provide supporting evidence of advertising activity, installs, traffic, and user acquisition if requested. Questions Has anyone successfully resolved a similar Developer Identity (5.6.2) issue through additional verification? Has Apple allowed developers to submit identity documents after receiving a Pending Termination Notice? Is there any recommended approach when the developer is fully willing to verify their identity but was never previously asked to submit identity documents? I have already submitted an appeal and expressed my willingness to provide any form of identity verification required by Apple. Any guidance from Apple staff or developers who have experienced a similar situation would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

When I use Xcode 26.6, MacOS Tahoe 26.6.2, for debugging and hit a breakpoint, using "step over" very often causes the debugger to freeze at a random line of code on other threads. Clicking "Pause program execution" indicates that the line is being executed randomly on other threads, but the breakpoint never exits, seemingly causing a freeze. At this point, if I then place a breakpoint just after the point where I was stepping on the thread which I was debugging before the freeze, hitting "Continue Program Execution", ofter - but not always - the debugger returns to the new breakpoint which I placed after the freeze. I am using Xcode on Apple Silicon M4 based Mac, our app is a ObjC application for MacOS and it is native for Apple Silicon. The current situation with Xcode 26.6 significantly reduces our development efficiency. What could be causing this, and is there a solution?

Xcode 26.5 stucks on Localization Generating Comments: Running on macOS Tahoe 26.5 When this happens, Xcode does not add new keys, although enabled: The only (known) workaround is to restart Xcode. Same happened with Xcode 26.4, 26.4.1 on macOS 26.4.1.

Hey Team, Is there a way to help me with this one Im been on pending for so long not sure way. Its such a critical time for my app to be publish please asist. Thanks. @appleSupport Case: 102918438230

Hi, We recently updated our app icon, but the push notification icon has not been updated on some devices. It still shows the old icon on: • iPhone 16 Pro — iOS 26 • iPhone 14 — iOS 26 • iPad Pro 11” (M4) — iOS 18.6.2 • iPhone 16 Plus — iOS 18.5 After restarting these devices, the push notification icon is refreshed and displays the new version correctly. Could you advise how we can ensure the push notification icon updates properly on all affected devices without requiring users to restart? Thank you.
