I have recently been having trouble with my iOS 18.2 beta update. It has been 2 weeks since I have updated to iOS 18.2 beta and joined the Genmoji and image playground waitlist. I am wondering how much longer I have to wait till my request is approved.

I get a lot of downloads from outside USA but almost no conversion (subscription/IAP) from those countries.
Apple App Store does the price conversion based on currency conversion and VAT but it does not take into account that $10 in India or Argentina is a much bigger portion of ones income compared to a US person.
Converting all these prices (175 of them) manually is very cumbersome for each subscription tier and for each region.

I am developing the electronic part of product, it includes a Find-My features. I saw some forum that testing Find-My feature needs a CSR and testing token. Can anyone teach me how to apply CSR and testing token step by step?
Thank you very much.

I am experiencing an issue where XCode reverts .xccurrentversion file in my iOS app to the first version whenever xcodebuild is run or whenever XCode is started. This means I can build the app and run tests in XCode if I discard the reversion .xccurrentversion on XCode start. However, testing on CI is impossible because the version the tests rely on are reverted whenever xcodebuild is run.
The commands I run to reproduce the issue
❯ git status
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: Path/.xccurrentversion
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
❯ git checkout "Path/.xccurrentversion"
Updated 1 path from the index
❯ git status
nothing to commit, working tree clean
❯ xcodebuild \
-scheme Scheme \
-configuration Configuration \
-sdk iphonesimulator \
-destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 16 Pro,OS=latest' \
-skipPackagePluginValidation \
-skipMacroValidation \
test > /dev/null # test fails because model version is reverted
❯ git status

I have experienced such issue in 16.3 (16E140) and 16.2 (16C5032a).
Similar issues/solutions I have found online are the following. But they are either not relevant or do not work in my case.
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17631587/xcode-modifies-current-coredata-model-version-at-every-launch
https://github.com/CocoaPods/Xcodeproj/issues/81
Is anyone aware of any solution? Is there a recommended way I can run diagnostics on XCode and file a feedback?
According to this news, we don't need anymore (at least temporarily): https://www.macrumors.com/2025/12/23/texas-app-store-law-blocked/
A Texas federal judge today blocked an App Store age verification law that was set to go into effect on January 1, 2026, which means Apple may not have to support the changes after all.
Hope we shall get very rapidly more information from Apple.
I am encountering a cloud signing permission error when archiving and uploading an iOS app using Xcode with Automatically manage signing enabled.
Xcode reports that it cannot access or create cloud-managed distribution certificates, and therefore cannot find any App Store provisioning profiles for either the main app target or an associated Notification Service Extension.
The error message returned by Apple’s certificate API indicates that access to cloud-managed distribution certificates is forbidden.
Error messages
Cloud signing permission error
You haven't been given access to cloud-managed distribution certificates.
Please contact your team's Account Holder or an Admin to give you access.
No profiles were found
Xcode couldn't find any iOS App Store provisioning profiles matching the app or extension targets.
Environment
Xcode: 16.x
Signing method:
Automatic signing (App Store distribution)
Apple Developer Program team with existing distribution certificates
Apple ID role:
Admin (recently upgraded from a lower role)
What I have verified
Automatic signing is enabled for all targets
The correct team is selected
Bundle identifiers are valid and already registered
The app and extension exist in App Store Connect
Distribution certificates already exist in the team (previously created manually)
Observed behavior
Xcode attempts to access cloud-managed distribution certificates
Apple certificate service responds with a permission-denied error
As a result, provisioning profiles cannot be generated automatically
Question
After being upgraded to an Admin role, is there a known delay or additional requirement before an account can access cloud-managed distribution certificates, especially for teams that previously used manually managed distribution certificates?
Is there any recommended action (besides waiting or having the Account Holder perform an initial signing operation) to unblock automatic signing in this situation?

I’m trying to test IAP in Sandbox, but I can't find any product IDs. It seems my Paid Apps Agreement is still "Pending User Info" even though Bank, Tax, and Compliance forms are all marked as "Active." It’s been over 10 hours.
Does anyone know what "Pending User Info" might refer to if everything looks complete? I noticed I left the "Nickname" field blank in the Tax Form—could that be the reason? If so, how can I edit it since the forms are already submitted?
It seems Xcode's predictive code completion model is censored. Specifically, when typing the word "torrent," the model stops working completely. It doesn't matter whether the word is written directly in the code or in a comment. It could also be part of another word, such as "qBittorrent." In either case, the model stops working. Reproducing this issue is fairly simple. Create a Swift file and type the word "torrent." The model will stop generating code.
Xcode Version 26.2 (17C52)
Predictive Code Completion Model:
[com.apple.fm.code.generate_small_v2.base: 700.0.81600.13.202379,0] [com.apple.fm.code.generate_safety_guardrail.base: 1.6.81619.13.202072,0] [com.apple.gm.safety_deny.input.code_intelligence.base: 32025010.20251009.91600.100.1651,0] [com.apple.gm.safety_deny.output.code_intelligence.base: 32025010.20251009.91600.100.1651,0] (Installed)
Hi Apple Developer Community and Enrollment Team,
Update on organization enrollment H6899PPP9F for AI Prosperity Limited (D-U-N-S [yours]): All initial issues (D-U-N-S, email blocks, docs) resolved weeks ago, with enrollment number issued—yet final activation remains pending over 7 weeks since full submission on 11/27/2025. No ETA or outreach despite prior calls/emails/forum posts.
To highlight the stakes: Our app powers a joint venture under the "Freedom Mastery" brand (planners promising QR-app access), with ~+10K customer engagements via physical sales trying to download the app. Key proof (attachments), 500-1000 customers added every day from now on:
Amazon Seller Central (Nov 1–Dec 11, 2025): 9,360 units, $323K+ sales, avg $30/order—listings here tease app integration (1K–4K reviews/SKU).
Shopify (same period): 9,999+ orders, $63K+ sales, 195K sessions—direct traffic to app waitlist.
Redacted JV agreement excerpt: Confirms AI Prosperity Limited's legal authority/control over "Freedom Mastery" branding and sales.
Dev entity (AI Prosperity Limited) matches all docs/D-U-N-S, but the JV tie may need verification—happy to provide full details. These buyers (many iOS users) are inquiring daily; delays risk churn/refunds in our habit-tracking space.
Request: Escalate to senior review for activation/ETA. Ready for any clarifications.
Thanks—excited to launch on Apple!
Frederik

Moving the cursor left and right becomes extremely sluggish, though up-down movement and mouse clicks are normal. The Apple Store Genius checked the hardware and even reinstalled the OS, but the issue remains.

I have been working for a while now. Never encountered this issue. After accepting the invite from the organization. The organizations does not appear at developer apple account. But can see the organization at app store connect. Yes i have checked the account permissions. I have the admin role and developer role etc is checked everything is correct. This is not just me happening with my colleague as well.
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.

In the official explanation, "deployment targets" refers to "the OS range supported by this version of Xcode for uploading apps to App Store Connect." On the Xcode Support page (https://developer.apple.com/support/xcode/), I can find the deployment targets supported by each Xcode version.
My question is: can I use a newer version of Xcode to build an IPA with an older deployment target that isn’t listed? For example, can I use Xcode 26 to build an iOS 12 IPA (just build, not debug)?
In my opinion, since the new SDKs still contain many old macros restricted to earlier iOS versions, it should be possible, but I’m not sure if that’s correct.
Thanks.
Opened a FB already (FB20928652) but wanted to check here if anybody has seen similar or has better workarounds.
xcresulttool merge appears to crash immediately after launch in Xcode 26.1 (and in 26.2b1).
It does so regardless of any inputs passed in; the crash appears to be during argument parsing before any other logic is run, so it's not contingent on inputs.
Working example from 26.0.1 (passing in arbitrary strings for a minimum-reproducible-case, so we expect to see an error message) :
% /Applications/Xcode-26.0.1.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcresulttool merge --output-path a b c
Error: File or directory doesn't exist at path: b.
Usage: xcresulttool <subcommand>
See 'xcresulttool --help' for more information.
The same example crashes in 26.1:
/Applications/Xcode-26.1.0.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcresulttool merge --output-path a b c
zsh: trace trap /Applications/Xcode-26.1.0.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/xcresulttool merge
Again, this does crash in real use cases as well, the arbitrary strings are just for quick reproduction.
The stack trace appears to be during argument parsing (which from a quick look, did indeed change between 26.0.1 and 26.1). On 26.1+, garbage data seemingly gets passed to AbsolutePath.init.
* thread #1, queue = 'com.apple.main-thread', stop reason = breakpoint 1.1
* frame #0: 0x00000001002c6748 xcresulttool-26.1`normalize(absolute:)
frame #1: 0x00000001002c6438 xcresulttool-26.1`AbsolutePath.init(_:) + 28
frame #2: 0x000000010005a2c0 xcresulttool-26.1`Merge.run() + 372
frame #3: 0x000000010005b180 xcresulttool-26.1`protocol witness for ParsableCommand.run() in conformance Merge + 12
frame #4: 0x000000010011d3e4 xcresulttool-26.1`dispatch thunk of ReadableStream.close() + 16
frame #5: 0x000000010000148c xcresulttool-26.1`main + 156
frame #6: 0x00000001804d5d54 dyld`start + 7184
The only workaround we've found is to keep using 26.0.1's copy of xcresulttool, though that's obviously not ideal.
Body:
I am writing to report an ongoing issue with the Apple Developer Program enrollment process specifically affecting developers in India, along with significant concerns about Apple's support responsiveness in this region.
Issue Summary:
I have been attempting to enroll in the paid Apple Developer Program ($99/year) using the Apple Developer app on my iPhone for the past 4 days. Every enrollment attempt results in the following errors:
"Unknown Error - Please try again"
"Invalid Request - Service mapping to the requested URL is not available"
My Setup (All Verified Correct):
Apple ID Region: India
Trusted Phone Number: +91 (India country code, matching my Apple ID region)
Two-Factor Authentication: Enabled (genuine 2FA, not two-step verification)
2FA Devices: iPhone, MacBook Pro devices, and trusted phone number all verified
Account Information: Legal name, address, date of birth, and email all updated and verified on account.apple.com
Device: iPhone 17 Pro running latest iOS
Troubleshooting Attempted:
I have completed every troubleshooting step suggested by the community and by Apple Support myself:
✅ Verified genuine Two-Factor Authentication is enabled
✅ Confirmed Apple ID region matches trusted phone number region (+91)
✅ Updated all personal information (legal name, address, email) on account.apple.com
✅ Force restarted iPhone multiple times
✅ Uninstalled and reinstalled Apple Developer app
✅ Signed out and signed back in with correct Apple ID
✅ Tested on both WiFi and cellular data
✅ Waited 48+ hours between attempts
None of these steps resolved the issue.
Support Response Issues:
This is where my frustration peaks. I have attempted to contact Apple Support multiple ways:
Phone Support: Shows "Phone support is currently unavailable" (though it was available last week)
Email Support: Submitted via developer.apple.com/support → No response for 4 days
Previous Contact: Had contacted support last week, but the troubleshooting steps provided did not resolve the issue
Current Status: No follow-up communication or resolution path from Apple
Known Issue in India - Why This Matters:
I have researched this extensively and found multiple threads in this forum (dating back months) with developers in India reporting identical errors during enrollment. To date, I have not found a single resolved thread with a working solution. This indicates:
This is a documented, recurring issue affecting Indian developers specifically
Apple appears to have backend infrastructure issues specific to India
Support has not provided a resolution path despite multiple reports
The Real Problem:
Apple's Developer Program enrollment system appears to have specific bugs or limitations that prevent developers in India from successfully enrolling, yet:
Support responsiveness is severely lacking
There is no documented workaround or known resolution
The support team seems unaware of or unprepared to handle this region-specific issue
My Request:
Acknowledgement from Apple that this is a known issue affecting India-based developers
A concrete resolution path (whether manual backend enablement, account review, or system fix)
Expected timeline for resolution:
Improved support responsiveness - Developers deserve answers, not silence
Additional Context:
I am ready to provide screen recordings of the exact error
I have all the necessary documentation (identity verification, address proof, etc.)
I am willing to complete any additional verification steps
I simply need clear communication and a path forward
I have been developing for iOS and want to contribute to the Apple ecosystem. However, this enrollment barrier is preventing me from doing so. Apple's support infrastructure for India needs improvement, and this issue needs attention.
If any Apple team member is monitoring this forum, please escalate this issue. Indian developers deserve better support and communication.
