I came across several "errors" being reported when I run my app, however my app seems to function correctly.
I believe they fall in the category listed on this ( now locked ) thread https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/115461
However, I wanted to post the ones I found to clarify ( close to submission) just in case any of these end up being more than just log noise later. PLEASE let me know if you've come across these before and whether they impacted anything or if you can confirm they are just log noise. Thanks in advance!

I would like to clarify that my app is a Reader APP and a hybrid application built with Vue.js and Capacitor. To comply with Apple’s guidelines, I am not using any third-party SDKs for account management or payments. Instead, I am attempting to use the official StoreKit External Link Account API as required.
To achieve this, I created a custom native Capacitor plugin in Swift, which calls the StoreKit 2 classes (SKStoreExternalLinkAccountRequest and SKStoreExternalLinkAccountViewController) to present the required modal before redirecting users to manage their accounts externally.
However, I am encountering a technical issue:
When building the app in Xcode 16 (with iOS Deployment Target set to 16+), the Swift compiler cannot find the StoreKit 2 classes (SKStoreExternalLinkAccountRequest and SKStoreExternalLinkAccountViewController).
I have attached a screenshot showing the error in Xcode.
Could you please clarify if there are any additional requirements or steps needed to access these StoreKit 2 APIs in a hybrid (Capacitor/Vue) app?
Is there any limitation for hybrid apps, or is there a specific configuration needed in Xcode or the project to make these APIs available?
I am committed to fully complying with Apple’s guidelines and want to ensure the best and safest experience for my users.
Any guidance or documentation you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
my plugin:
my app in xcode - build failed
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me.
Hi,
today I upgraded Xcode to Version 16.4 (16F6) and the Simulator to version Version 16.0 (1042.1) since then I get the following message in the debugger with any project when running the simulator:
load_eligibility_plist: Failed to open /Users/xxxx/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/1B9FA609-7502-42DE-93A8-B856E2618A7F/data/Containers/Data/Application/4FA1B071-A5F1-4E00-B3AC-630E273DD900/private/var/db/eligibilityd/eligibility.plist: No such file or directory
I have checked other similar questions but in my case I do not have Cocoapods installed.
So, I'm new to Swift, but I'm trying to get my app idea off the ground and am trying to find a way to create the main module of the app -
two users see in real time, where the other one touches their screen.
So, each of them see a red dot light up on their screen wherever the other one touched it. Ideally dot should change in diameter based on the pressure of the touch.
First time user here. Trying to build my React-Native app on xcode. I keep getting "Could not build Module" and "missing package product" and tried many combination for my Podfile.

I have filled the form to request for this access, but it has been 15 days now and I haven’t gotten any feedback. Apple Support said the appropriate team will be in contact with me once it has been approved. It’s been 15 days and still nothing. I just want to know how long it would take, and Apple’s WWDC 2025 is around the corner, I was really looking forward to get this done before then.

I am facing this error on every flutter project build.
Although it runs ok.
The error happens on the codesign command
What do I need to fix ?
I have validated that every *.plist file is ok using plutil -lint

Xcode 16.3 repeatedly logs a same message very frequently, as fast as a single thread can. I use Instruments and Console and find out the log is:
Needs flush!
by -[DNTBrotliDecoder decodeBytes:length:] in DNTDocumentationSupport.
The call is on a single non-main thread. I've tried to clear caches and it seems doesn't change. Yet I don't know exact point when the logging starts since launch.
Fortunately, this thread is dispatched at E cores, bringing approximately 2 watts of power load to my Mac.
Environments:
macOS 15.4 (24E248)
Xcode 16.3 (16E140)
M4 chip
On my M4 Mac running macOS 15.5 using Xcode 16.4 & Xcode CLT 16.4, Swift code in my Swift Package Manager 5.9 project (https://github.com/mas-cli/mas) builds fine against some included Objective-C headers via the following command line:
swift build -c release
But cannot find modules for the included Objective-C headers when building inside Xcode 16.4 or with the following command line on the same Mac:
xcodebuild -scheme mas -configuration Release -destination platform=macOS,arch=arm64,variant=macos
The error is:
Sources/mas/AppStore/AppleAccount.swift:9:16: error: no such module 'StoreFoundation'
How can I get Xcode / xcodebuild to work?
Note that the project is normally built by running:
Scripts/build
which runs:
swift build -c release
after running the following script, which must be run before any build (swift, Xcode, or xcodebuild) because it generates a necessary file (Sources/mas/Package.swift):
Scripts/generate_package_swift
I've tried moving the Objective-C headers into include subfolders of their existing module folders, using double quotes instead of angle brackets for the #import statements, having module.modulemap files in the include
subfolders or their parent module folder, and moving the module folders one level up the file hierarchy, to no avail.
I've also tried various changes to the root-level Package.swift (not the generated one deeper in the hierarchy, which isn't inclined in the build configuration), like making separate library targets for each of the Objective-C modules, various swiftSettings & linkerSettings, etc.
Maybe some of those changes would have helped, but maybe they were in incorrect combinations.
Thanks for any help.

Hi, I’m currently developing a watchOS app and ran into an issue where I can’t enable Developer Mode on my Apple Watch.
Device info:
Apple Watch Series 9 (watchOS 10.4)
Paired with iPhone 14 Pro (iOS 17.4.1)
Xcode 15.3 (macOS 15.5, Apple Silicon)
Issue:
When I try to run the app on my physical watch device, Xcode prompts that Developer Mode needs to be enabled. However, there is no approval request on the Apple Watch, and no Developer Mode option appears under Settings → Privacy & Security.
I’ve already tried the following:
Rebooting both devices
Unpairing and re-pairing the watch
Erasing and setting up the watch again
Signing out and back into my Apple ID
Using the latest Xcode version (15.3 and 16.3 both tested)
Running clean builds and checking provisioning profiles
Attempting install via both simulator and physical device
Still no luck — the app will not launch on the Apple Watch due to Developer Mode being disabled, and the option is missing entirely from Settings.
I visited an Apple Store Genius Bar, but they couldn’t help and told me to contact Developer Support. I’ve already submitted a support request, but in the meantime I wanted to ask here in case anyone else has experienced this and found a workaround.
Thanks in advance.
I'm trying to open an Apple account to enroll in the developer programme from Bangladesh but couldn't get verification code on Bangladeshi phone number. I've tried multiple phone numbers but got the same response (Verification codes can't be sent to this phone number at this time. Please try again later).
Hi everyone,
We're developing an AR app using Unity with Vuforia for object detection. Our app works well in full-screen mode, including detection and post-detection phases. However, we're facing a specific issue in iPad Split View multitasking mode.
Problem:
The AR camera (Vuforia-based) freezes during object detection if another app is opened in Split View.
Post-detection, everything works fine in Split View. The problem only occurs during detection.
Testing Environment:
iPadOS 16+
Unity with Vuforia plugin
Using EnableMultitaskingCameraAccess() method with AVFoundation to support camera multitasking
AR scene is set up properly with detection capabilities in full-screen
My application uses a text file with an extension of .dssfilelist. On Linux I would register the Mime type and associate it with the application in the .desktop file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<mime-info xmlns="http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/shared-mime-info">
<mime-type type="text/dssfilelist">
<comment>DeepSkyStacker file-list file</comment>
<glob pattern="*.dssfilelist" />
</mime-type>
</mime-info>
I believe that I need to add stuff to the Info.plist for my application, but I also understand that CFBundleTypeExtensions is deprecated.
So please could you show me what I now need to add to the Info.plist file so that these files will be registered as "text/dssfilelist" type and associated with my application and to associate a .icns file with it?

Hi Apple team and fellow developers,
We previously had Location Push Service Extension enabled and working in production. After transferring the app to a new Apple Developer team, the production App ID was transferred, but the Location Push entitlement was not retained.
We've also created a new App ID for development, and now need Location Push access enabled for both the transferred production ID and the new development ID.
We’ve already submitted the Location Push Access form with all relevant details.
Unfortunately, the App Transfer documentation didn’t make it clear that Location Push access would be lost, and now we’re blocked from making new builds — even for the existing production app.
❓ Questions:
Is it possible to re-enable Location Push for a transferred App ID?
What’s the expected timeline for entitlement approval?
Can Apple staff confirm the request status or let us know if any further action is needed?
Thanks in advance — this entitlement is critical for our app’s functionality and release pipeline.
Best,
Aidar

In the morning I enrolled in developer program and apple took my money from card and told me it is "being processed".
But in the main page it says
Purchase your membership.
continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now
purchase may take up to 48 hours to process.
So I clicked again and purchased again. Still I got the same email and checked it says " being processed" but money taken twice!!! Why are you giving me same option if it is processed!! Very bad design!!! Also it is still not activated

I'm pulling my hair out here with this new Xcode 16, it complains that my app's dSYM is empty though it's clearly not, it's about 25MB.
I'm working on a project using an internal static library, everything is built inhouse using swift, we own all the source code. It worked just fine until the other week, when I updated the Xcode, and now I can't debug anything. I keep getting "type for self cannot be reconstructed" when I run "po self.some_property". Why is that?
The Debug information Format is set to DWARF with dSYM File for both the executable and lib projects.
I've been a Unix guy since before I knew myself and I enjoy fixing things myself, down to bare metal, but man, this bug is driving me crazy. Is it even a bug??
It's the first time in more than 15 years since I started coding on Mac and iPhone when a bug has defeated me. I was always able to fix things using just the documentation and google, but the Apple toolchain is getting worse and worse nowadays.
I remember the time when Apple made the complicated things simple, now they make the simple things complicated :(
I just split the static lib from the main project one year ago, because of the ridiculously long build time. Should I merge back all the code in a single project? Something seems wrong to me.
So I created this account to ask the masters. How can I get back my debug info (and sanity)? Using Xcode 15 is not an option because it doesn't run on Sequoia.
For an initial launch of Xcode, the GatherProvisioningInputs usually takes 60 seconds for a simple project. Subsequent build is fast though.
But the build process seems got stuck at VeryModule of the MyFramework target, which usually takes 15 seconds.
Hello,
I recently submitted a successful application for the Apple Developer Program using the Apple Developer app.
I can confirm that my subscription is currently active and valid on the App Store.
Could you please let me know how long it typically takes for the developer account to be fully activated?
Is it acceptable to simply wait for the activation without contacting support?
Thank you very much for your assistance.

I have a SPFx React application where I am printing the HTML page content using the javascript default window.print() functionality. Once I save the page as pdf from the print preview window and open it using Adobe Acrobat, the links(for eg -> Google) within the content are not clickable and appearing as plain text.
I have tried to print random pages post searching with any keywords in Google and saved the files as pdfs, but, unfortunately, the links are still not clickable there as well.
To check whether it is an Adobe Acrobat issue, I have performed the same print functionality from Android devices and shared the pdf file across the iOS devices and in that case, when opened using Adobe Acrobat, the links are appearing to be clickable.
I am wondering whether it is something related to how the default print functionality works for iPadOS and iOS devices. Any insights on this would be really helpful. Thanks!!!
Note: The links are clickable for MacOS as well as for Windows.
