Apple Developer Program Enrollment Application Not Processing (South Africa)
Hi Apple Developer Team, I’m a developer based in South Africa. I initially submitted my enrollment for the Apple Developer Program (Individual) last week Thursday (May 2nd, 2025). The enrollment was then withdrawn by Apple, asking me to re-apply - which I did. Unfortunately, the same issue persists. I entered valid payment details during the re-application. No payment has been deducted. The enroll button on the Apple Developer app remains disabled. It has now been 5 days without resolution. We’ve even gone to the extent of verifying our banking setup and confirming that our card is enabled for international payments. Out of frustration, I have now withdrawn all enrollment applications. Please advise on how I can proceed based on the Case ID I have submitted. This delay is affecting our iOS launch, and I would really appreciate guidance on the way forward. Thank you.

launchd_sim and AppleSpell deadlock
I've got a 2019 Intel iMac running Sequoia 15.4.1 and Xcode 16.3. Every time I try to view a storyboard Xcode locks up and beachballs on me. It takes minutes to load the file. When I force-quit Xcode, the report that shows up has this as the reason: Processes reached dispatch thread soft limit (64): launchd_sim [96305] [unique pid 194673], launchd_sim [96260] [unique pid 194628] Deadlock: AppleSpell [1494] thread 0x1df0c4 DispatchQueue 313 -> AppleSpell [1494] thread 0x1df0c4 DispatchQueue 313 Deadlock: AppleSpell [1494] thread 0x1df114 DispatchQueue 86 -> AppleSpell [1494] thread 0x1df114 DispatchQueue 86 Blocked by Deadlock: 1 task - AppleSpell [1494] I'm wondering, why is AppleSpell trying to spell-check a plist file? Is there any way to tell AppleSpell to ignore a file?

Game Center Authentication Crashing - Unity 6, Gamekit 3.0.2
When testing my development build for gamecenter authentication, the game crashes. I've breadcrumbed it to the "await GKLocalPlayer.Authenticate();" call. Can't find any documentation on this issue and have been looking through the forums! I've already done all of the usual stuff like verifying bundle identifiers match, ensuring game center is enabled for the app, setting up app store connect, using a sandbox account, etc... Please point me to some resources if you know any. Any help is appreciated, I'm starting to lose hope here!

Get the list of distribution certificates from app connect api
I'm trying to use the App Store Connect API to get the list of expired certificates. When I make the web service call: https://api.appstoreconnect.apple.com/v1/certificates I'm able to get the list of developer certificate. The distribution certificates are not included in the list. According to the docs, I should all of them in the result set. Is there any thing special that needs to be added the web service call to have the distribution certs included in the result set?

Lost X Code Project for a Live Application
Hello, I currently have a live application in the iOS App Store that needs an update to start functioning again, but I've lost the source code in a hard drive failure. Is there a way to reverse engineer the currently deployed package that is live (and also a way to download it from App Store Connect)⁉️ The development change itself is just a very small change for an API route in the code itself. I could even direct an engineer at Apple to make the change in 5 minutes! Let me know if this is possible. Thanks❗️

AppStore response times for the store test environment to make purchases is very long.
Currently, over the xcode environment to do the testing of product subscriptions through appstore are working correctly using the storeKit. When deployed in testflight to do the testing over the integration environment, the store response times are being excessively high, in excess of 20 minutes. This behavior is not replicated on Xcode, and is happening on recent versions uploaded to testflight, as earlier versions that were already tested and are currently in production. In addition the communication between the appstore webhook and the BE is also failing in this environment. It is being blocked to generate any test to be able to launch to production.

Xcode 16.3 C++ compiler makes binaries with corrupted memory.
I am creating an xcframework for a static library for iOS, but I am encountering a perplexing issue with Xcode 16.3. When I build an xcframework using C++ in one project and import it into another project, the application runs with corrupted memory. In the framework project, I use os_unfair_lock, but when attempting to lock, the app crashes due to a state error. This suggests that memory corruption is occurring. When the xcframework is built with Xcode 16.2, a proper binary is generated, and the app runs without any problems. Since I do not want to disclose the source code, I am trying to construct a minimal project that reproduces the issue, but so far I have not been successful. Fundamentally, I feel that the compiler in Xcode 16.3 cannot be trusted.

NSUbiquitousContainers
I'm using Xcode 16.3 and I want to add the key "NSUbiquitousContainers" but I cannot do it in the Entitlements file, it should be in info.plist file! I have done it before but in previous versions of Xcode when the info.plist was in the project navigator. However, now I cannot find the file and I did not find any way to create it! Please guide me in detail how to proceed (I'm not new to Swift or SwiftUI but not familiar to project settings)?

Xcode 16.3 Problems
Hi, This problem had gone away with the previous version, but its back with 16.3. When I first go into Xcode, it normally shows me a list of previous projects. This seems to work some of the time, and not others. When it doesn't, I Quit Xcode, go back in, then the list appears again. I also noticed each time I quit Xcode, I get the "beach ball icon" for 5-7 seconds and then it exits most of the time. When it doesn't, I have to issue a killall Xcode in the Terminal. I have a brand new Mac mini M4, 24GB RAM, 2 TB SSDD. Is anyone else having these issues? Thank you, Dan Uff

xcode can't find c++ headers
I'm currently working on my own renderer program using c++. Everything was fine until I update the MacOS to 15.4. I keep receiving these errors: "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX15.4.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/cerrno:30:5 tried including <errno.h> but didn't find libc++'s <errno.h> header. This usually means that your header search paths are not configured properly. The header search paths should contain the C++ Standard Library headers before any C Standard Library, and you are probably using compiler flags that make that not be the case." It says I have problem with finding <errno.h> while including . After searching for solutions, I check the related xcode path, xcode-select -p shows : "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer", seems fine. And I can actually see the errno.h file in the folder "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX.sdk/usr/include/c++/v1/errno.h" I tried to use CommandLineTool's SDKs by sudo xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools but not working. The error Information says: This usually means that your header search paths are not configured properly.The header search paths should contain the C++ Standard Library headers before any C Standard Library, and you are probably using compiler flags that make that not be the case. Additionally, after running xcodebuild -showsdks, it shows two identical macosx sdks "macos 15.4". Could this be a hint? I also have tried reinstall xcode, not working. I've just created a simple project including and running std::cout << errno, it worked fine. So I tried to run it in my renderer program by cutting all the compile sources except "main.cpp", it still get the errors. What have changed? How do I set things right?

C++ Binary Size Increase in Xcode 16 Compared to Xcode 15
I've recently upgraded my project from Xcode 15 to Xcode 16. Without changing any build settings or compiler flags, I noticed that the final executable size has increased significantly when building the same C++ code. Investigation: To investigate further, I compared the Link Map outputs from both versions of Xcode. One key difference I found: The symbol size for std::sort increased from 4,336 bytes (Xcode 15) to 6,084 bytes (Xcode 16) – a ~40% increase. This seems to be part of a broader trend where other standard library symbols are also taking up more space in the binary when built with Xcode 16. Questions: Has Apple Clang or libc++ in Xcode 16 changed the implementation of STL algorithms like std::sort? Are there changes in inlining, template instantiation, or debug info that could explain the increase? Is this expected behavior? If so, is there any guidance on minimizing the binary size regression?
