My phone's charging port is fried. It only charges wirelessly. Fixing it costs the same as the phone. I currently am having a lot of issues enrolling for apple developer program as well, so I can't use test flight right now. I want to enable developer mode on my phone, but it's never been connected to xcode before, so the option is not available. How do I enable developer mode without being able to connect it to a pc? I have a mac, and both my mac and iphone are on the same apple id. thank you

I am trying to submit my app for review but when I click on the 'add to review' button, I am getting the message: Unable to Add for Review The items below are required to start the review process: There are still screenshot uploads in progress. However, there is nothing I am uploading... I tried removing all screenshots, nothing works. It has been 4 days, I cant update my app on the app store... impossible to get any response from Apple... Any inputs will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Apple Developer Support Team, We are developing an iOS iPhone application and would like clarification on whether Apple provides any APIs or system-level support to implement parental approval workflows aligned with certain regional regulatory requirements (for example, Texas, Utah, and Louisiana). Our intended use cases are outlined below: Initial Approval (App Download Stage) We understand that, in some situations, when a minor attempts to download an app from the App Store on iPhone, iOS may require approval through Family Sharing / Ask to Buy. We would like to confirm: • Whether there is any developer-accessible API that allows an iPhone app to detect if installation was approved via parental consent. • Whether apps can receive any callback, status indicator, or system signal confirming parental approval or rejection. • Whether the Declared Age Range API or any related framework provides access to parental approval or age verification signals. Ongoing Approval for Significant Changes For regulatory compliance, we may need to request parental re-approval when introducing significant application updates (for example, adding chat functionality, social interaction features, or modifying data collection practices). We would like clarification on: • Whether iOS provides any mechanism or API that allows iPhone apps to trigger or request parental re-approval after the application has already been installed. • Whether Apple provides any built-in workflows, system prompts, or entitlement-based approaches that support this type of re-approval process. In-App Handling of Parent Approval Requirements If our backend determines that a minor user requires parental approval before continuing to use certain app features, we would like to understand: • Whether Apple provides any APIs, SDKs, or recommended frameworks that allow initiating or facilitating parental authorization from within the iPhone app. • Whether there are any callbacks, permission states, entitlement checks, or system notifications that developers can use to determine and track parental consent status. If any such capabilities exist, we would greatly appreciate links to official documentation, technical guidance, or sample implementations demonstrating how approval status can be retrieved and handled in an iOS iPhone application. Also from which iOS version this capabilities will work & how to handle lower iOS version which is not supporting. Additionally, if Apple recommends alternative compliance approaches using existing frameworks such as Family Sharing, Screen Time APIs, or Declared Age Range, we would appreciate guidance on best practices for implementation. Also, could you please clarify the minimum iOS version that supports these capabilities? We would also appreciate recommendations on how developers should manage or implement fallback handling for devices running lower iOS versions where these capabilities are not supported. Thank you for your assistance and guidance in ensuring compliance with Apple platform policies and regional regulatory requirements. Kind regards

Hello, I have created an app in Emergent that I am trying to set up on the app store, but I am lost. As you might expect, I am new at this. I know this app is a winner. It's all about productivity. I can't pay, but I am willing to share the rights to the app with the person that helps me get it going. I would also like to put in in Android, so if you can help there it would be even better.

So i and many other big youtubers out there use iphones for intense gaming such as callcof duty and fortnite. However apple never listens especially to those of us that have been your guys's clients since the early 2000's. Users have different guinsetups for their games and a lot of the time when in an intense conpetition and the the low battery animation pops up it blocks our screens and that 3 to 4 seconds it takes to disappear makes us lose a game. Apple needs to implement a feature that allows us to toggle the notification even if our phone dies or a more efficient route would be allow us to toggle or set it by default to show that your battery is low on the top of the screen where the black line expands when you start charging your phone so it doesn't affect my gameplay whatsoever. This is a crucial thing apple needs to do, many people won't report it because apple never listens. Another great feature would be if apple could make a charging port on the side for claw players.

Hello, We are experiencing a recurring issue when running iOS apps in the Rosetta simulator on Xcode 26. Environment: Xcode: 26.0 macOS: 15.7.3 Simulator: Intel-based (Rosetta) simulators Languages: Both Swift and Objective-C Issue: When launching an app in a Rosetta simulator, the app frequently freezes or fails to run. In many cases, Xcode reports that the debugger has lost connection. Xcode error message: Lost connection to the debugger on “iPhone 12”. Domain: IDEDebugSessionErrorDomain Code: 22 Failure Reason: Message from debugger: lost connection Console log: assertion failed: GPR thread_set_state is unimplemented for NewThread (ThreadContextRegisterState.cpp:920 host_gpr_state_from_guest_state) Observed behavior: Rebuilding after fully quitting the simulator sometimes resolves the issue temporarily. Disabling Scheme > Run > Debug executable allows the app to run normally, but debugging (breakpoints, etc.) becomes unavailable. The issue does not occur: On real devices On ARM-based simulators When building with Xcode 16 using Rosetta Has anyone encountered this issue with Xcode 26 and Rosetta simulators? Is this a known bug, and are there any recommended workarounds besides disabling the debugger or restarting the simulator? Thank you in advance for any insights or guidance.

We are encountering a build and archive failure in Xcode after updating our development machine to macOS 26.2. Environment: macOS: 26.2 Xcode: 16.2 iOS Deployment Target / Runtime: iOS 18.5 App Type: Production iOS app (App Store distribution) Issue: Before updating macOS, the project built and archived successfully. After the macOS 26.2 update, archiving fails consistently, even though no major changes were made to the project code or configuration. Certificates, provisioning profiles, and signing settings are correctly configured. The issue appears to be related to the macOS/Xcode environment rather than application logic. Steps to Reproduce: Open the existing iOS project in Xcode 16.2. Select the App Store distribution scheme. Attempt to Archive the project. Archive/build fails. Expected Result: Successful archive allowing upload to App Store Connect. Actual Result: Archive fails after macOS 26.2 update. Additional Info: This post is linked to Apple Developer Technical Support Case-ID: 18413014.

As the title says, in apple developer site under (Certificates, Identifiers & Profiles) all my devices are set to inactive, and I cannot enable them back because my twices are glitched I have 2 devices and they are there twice each with the same UDID. So I cannot enable a single one. I’m hit with “A device with number 'UDID number' already exists on this team.” I have an iPad Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, I cannot sign any apps to them at all or do anything because my devices are set to inactive, I’ve contacted apple numerous times, and I can’t seem to get any help regarding this issue. I’ve called and emailed, and the developer team has yet to respond to me, if anyone’s had this issue please tell me how you solved it. i also cannot erase any devices myself until my renewal date. ive tried manually adding my devices, and its the same message that my devices already exist on team. Ive signed out of my apple account on my devices, changed pw, turned off developer mode and renabled it numerous times, I really don’t know what to do.

Hi there! I paid for my Apple Developer Program/Account but its still pending. Any tips what to do? Thanks!

Xcode 26.2 cannot delete the Simulator under Other Installed Platforms. After testing, I found that Simulator Architecture Variant of the Universal type cannot be deleted, but the Apple Silicon type can be deleted. Every time I delete it, it reappears after restarting the computer.

Thank you. Kind regards Zachary

Our app is supposed to be removed from sale on May 31st. Subscriptions our app is offering will also be removed on May 1st one month before our app removal. I would like to know if AppStoreServerNotificationV2 EXPIRED event will be sent to a specified endpoint after the removal of these subscriptions. I think each subscription will be canceled automatically from May 1st to May 31st and it will send EXPIRED event to our server, but is it true? Thank you in advance.

Background: During daily usage of iOS devices, devices experience noticeable thermal issues. This heating not only affects user experience, but may also lead to device performance throttling, shortened battery life, and other problems. We need better understanding and monitoring of device thermal states to optimize application performance and user experience. Issues Encountered: Insufficient thermal monitoring capabilities: Unable to obtain real-time accurate temperature data from devices Difficult power consumption analysis: Hard to determine which specific modules or threads cause high power consumption and heating Requested Solutions: Temperature Monitoring API: Provide accessible device temperature reading interfaces Thermal Attribution Analysis Capability: During heating events, we expect to receive more detailed power consumption monitoring data, such as CPU, GPU, network, location services, display, high power consumption thread stacks and other information to help developers identify high energy consumption operations

Hey all, I recently updated to Xcode 26.2 and I'm having the hardest time trying to download the corresponding iOS simulator. I installed Xcode from developer downloads and the app did not come loaded with an iOS simulator. When trying to download from Components in Settings, I only get the following message: Download failed due to a bad URL. (Catalog download for com.apple.MobileAsset.iOSSimulatorRuntime) Domain: com.apple.MobileAssetError.Download Code: 49 User Info: { checkConfiguration = 1; } I also tried downloading via Terminal but also get a download failed message. I am on the latest macOS and have over 600 GB of disk space available. In previous versions, I was able to download the iOS simulator directly from Developer Downloads, but anything after 26 is not there. Any suggestions?

Been trying to get into Developer Prgram since December 2025. And like many others, it seems the biggest tech company on the planet cannot streamline an enrollment program. Unless, it’s by design, to test your nerve? Anyways, I have now ended up paying twice, and still not even a squeak from support. There is no Developer Support phone number in South Africa, and mails go unanswered. How is this possible? $200 out of pocket, and nothing to show. Cannot even find a method for refunds. If there are steps to still follow or docs to submit, why take my money, then ask for more info?? But this black hole of SILENCE…. Now that skype is no longer, what other platform will allow me to call the US Support number from South Africa?

I’ve honestly never received service this bad from a company and I don’t say that lightly. This is the worst support experience I’ve ever had. I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I’m stuck in a loop that has been going on for months: The Apple Developer app repeatedly fails during identity verification and tells me there’s an issue. When I contact support, they tell me they’ll email me instructions. The email says: “Please use the Apple Developer app to enroll.” I reply saying: “I did. It doesn’t work. The verification fails.” And the response is again: “Use the Apple Developer app.” Over and over, with no actual troubleshooting or escalation. This is not a user-error situation — I’m following the instructions exactly. I need someone to look at what’s happening on Apple’s side (verification/enrollment status) and give a real resolution path, not the same copy-paste response. Details: Country/Region: [your region] Devices tried: [iPhone model + iOS version], [Mac model + macOS version] Exact error message shown in the app: [paste here] Support case number (if relevant): 102784352083 What I’m asking: Can Apple reset/clear my enrollment/verification state so I can retry cleanly? Is there an official fix for this verification error? Is there an alternative way to complete enrollment if the app keeps failing? Can this be escalated to the enrollment/identity verification team? Again: I’ve never experienced support this bad from any company. I just want to enroll and pay — but I’m blocked with no real help.
