I'm currently experiencing the same problem that many have had with error 422 "Beta contract is missing." I read that I should contact Apple support, but when I try to access the support page and log in with my credentials, the page doesn't load and I can't generate a ticket to resolve this problem. I get the message "There was an error processing your request. Please try again later." And when I inspect with Safari it shows me this information: "errors" : [ { "id" : "9be0314c-3bd5-4143-a625-602322d7156e", "status" : "422", "code" : "ENTITY_UNPROCESSABLE.BETA_CONTRACT_MISSING", "title" : "Beta contract is missing for the app.", "detail" : "Beta Contract is missing." } ] This is when I want to share the most recent build of my app with external groups through Testflight, but additionally, when my internal testers try to access it through Testflight app, it shows the error "The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." Could someone tell me what process I should follow or where I can correctly generate the ticket for my error? Since the Apple support page does not load. Thanks!

I inherit from a protocol that implements in its extension those functions, that should not be required by the adopting class and instead I get those errors. Could someone explain why those errors appear and how to fix it.

I am very disappointed and got no help/solution from Apple development team after many rounds of email communication and calls. Two months ago, I went through the process in apple developer website and purchased a developer account and received order acknowledging email from apple team, it said it will take 2 working days for process, however, there is no news after half a month, so I send email for enquires, and about two weeks later, I received the support reply that I should try to apply the account through "developer app" and I follow his guide to continue the workflow, however, I cannot submit my ID through the APP and prompted "error". Few days later, the developer web prompts "Your enrollment could not be completed" Then I sent several emails to developer support and got no response, finally, I call the developer support several times that they cannot explain the reason why my application is getting stuck somewhere and cannot provide the solution/alternatives. I hope someone here or apple developer team can review my case and provide the guide for me to proceed the account application. Thanks a lot My case ID: 102855764543

Hi. I'm not sure if that's normal, but I'm waiting for the approval of the Developer Account today, already it's the 6th day. But not only waiting time confusing me. When I'm opening the account, it says that I need to process enrollment and wait 48 even considering that the payment was issued 6 days ago.

Hello! Every time I attempt to enroll into the program I get hit with one of the following two errors: Unknown Error Please try again. Apple ID Issue The region of the Apple ID that's signed in to Settings or System Preferences is different than the region of the Apple ID with which you signed into the Apple Developer app. Sign in to Settings or System Preferences with an Apple ID that has the same region. I’m very confused by this message because I have never changed the region of my Apple ID - it should be United States. How can I complete my enrollment?

EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGKILL (Code Signature Invalid)) Crash Report

When implementing a custom right in macOS authorizationdb, the mechanism array element builtin:authenticate is displaying the message 'Enter the name and password of a user in the "(null)" group to allow this.' on the macOS credential prompt UI popup. I am trying to find a fix to avoid the reference to null group in the message label that is displayed just above the username and password input fields. The current plist uses class as the key and value as the evaluate-mechanisms. The mechanisms array includes mechanism array with elements "builtin:login-begin", "mycustombundle:mycustompreaction", "builtin:authenticate", "mycustombundle:mycustommechanism". I have tried specifying group in the plist, have tried setting hint in the MechanismInvoke for group, username, security, authority, prompt, reason among several other hints into the context duing the execution of mycustombundle:mycustompreaction, but none seem to fix the "(null)" in the message label. Any help is greately appreciated. There is not much of any documentation for developers implementing custom authorization in macOS.

I'm experiencing a persistent issue where my app uploads successfully to TestFlight and appears in App Store Connect, but internal testers (including myself) receive the following error when attempting to install: "Could not install xxxxxxxxx. The requested app is not available or doesn't exist." What works: The build archives and exports successfully via Xcode (local build, Release configuration) The IPA uploads to App Store Connect without errors via eas submit The build appears in TestFlight and passes processing I can add the build to my Internal Testing group Testers receive the TestFlight notification and can see the app What fails: When any tester taps "Install" or "Update," the download begins briefly, then fails with the "not available or doesn't exist" error This affects all internal testers on the account, not just one device Troubleshooting already completed: Verified code signing is correct: Release configuration uses CODE_SIGN_STYLE = Manual, CODE_SIGN_IDENTITY = "iPhone Distribution", with a valid App Store distribution provisioning profile (UUID: 39bc4c63-bc64-403a-a2a6-6737b3d33115) 2. Distribution certificate is valid: Serial 4838CD7571DE5361B98A5FB2F769F74D, not expired (expires 2027-04-16) 3. Regenerated provisioning profile via EAS credentials, removed stale profiles, and rebuilt — same result 4. Incremented build numbers correctly across multiple submissions (3004 → 3005 → 3006) 5. Previously resolved a signing misconfiguration (build 3005 was incorrectly signed with "Apple Development" instead of "iPhone Distribution" due to expo prebuild reverting settings) — this was corrected for build 3006, but the install error persists 6. Confirmed the build is not stuck in processing — it shows as ready for testing in App Store Connect 7. Tested on multiple devices running current iOS versions 8. Cleared TestFlight app cache and reinstalled TestFlight on test devices Why I believe this is a server-side issue: Multiple developers in the Apple Developer Forums have reported the identical symptom — valid builds that upload and process correctly but fail to install with this exact error message. In those cases, Apple Support resolved the issue on their end within 48 hours with no action required from the developer. The signing, provisioning, and build configuration were not the cause. This one is very specific to what I am dealing with https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/778597 One developer stated you fixed it on your side, without any real reasoning which also leads me to believe this is not something I can fix on my end https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/778597?answerId=884241022#884241022 I've exhausted all client-side troubleshooting and believe this may require intervention on Apple's side. Has anyone been able to fix this on their end and not only when App Development called? I went through tons of the feedback and tried it all and it doesn't seem to be fixed. It's been a month or so like this. I can't get any info on who to call. I sent in a report to feedback assistant and through app developer support

FB19249805 Main: The option to open files in New Window Tab doesn't appear anywhere in either Preferences or the contextual menu on clicking the files in the project (unlike previous Xcode versions). Only the option to open in New Tab is available (which is useless). This BREAKS EXISTING WORKFLOWS that have been established through years for countless developers. I can only see the option to open in New Tab, which breaks all existing workflows and habits. This results in an astonishing blow to productivity. Dear Xcode team: Please restore this option immediately! Additional details: Several years ago (I've been using Xcode since version 2), Xcode renamed the normal tabs into "Window Tabs" and introduced new "Tabs". The new "Tabs" proved to be a useless and counterproductive option for the following reasons: -They cannot be used in Behaviors. (Only Window Tabs can be, and many workflows have been built around this.) -It takes much longer to load a file into a Tab than into a Window Tab (where files are loaded nearly instantly). -Navigators and Inspectors cannot be customized for individual Tabs (only for Window Tabs). -Using both Tabs and Window Tabs is not an option, as it adds another tab bar that eats an enormous part of screen real estate without providing any benefits. Fortunately, we didn't have to use Tabs and could just disable them into oblivion where they belong. Now, in Xcode 26, the option to open files in new Window Tabs is gone. Really, I can only classify it as intentional sabotage. Many years of my Xcode habits and workflows are based on opening files in New Window Tabs via the Preferences > Navigation > With Option option. Or via the contextual menu. Now this option is gone. I'm sure there are plenty of other developers in the same situation. Please reenable the option to open in New Window Tabs. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Hello, I recently applied for enrollment in the Apple Developer Program, and my application has been under review for some time (5 days now). I would appreciate any guidance or insight into the status or typical processing time. Here are my details: Full Name: Kingsley Ibok Enrollment ID: FX678S24XD Please what steps can I take now, I’d really appreciate Thank you.

My enrolment is pending since 13 April and I haven't heard from Apple yet. I have requested for call backs and sent emails. How long does it generally take to get enrolled?

When I use Xcode 26 (0.1, 1) for debugging and hit a breakpoint, using "step over" causes the debugger to freeze at a random line of code. Clicking "Pause program execution" indicates that the line is being executed, but the breakpoint never exits, seemingly causing a freeze. The application on the simulator also becomes unresponsive. However, when I do not use breakpoints, my program runs smoothly, and debugging on a physical device does not cause any freezes. This issue only occurs with the simulator. I am using Xcode on Apple Silicon, and due to some third-party SDKs that depend on Rosetta, our app can only run on the Rosetta simulator. We did not encounter this issue when using Xcode 16.x for simulator debugging. The current situation with Xcode 26.x significantly reduces our development efficiency. What could be causing this, and is there a solution?

Something happened with my Xcode 26.4 install, I've never had this happen before. I get Xcode 26.4 installed, but the simulators aren't installed. And nothing pops up to "install required simulators". In Devices & Simulators I click the + to install a new simulator, and the beachball just spins and Xcode becomes unresponsive. I've tried quitting and restarting Xcode, reinstalling it (using both xcodes command line tool and the app store), removing Xcode and reinstalling, rebooting after removing Xcode and before reinstalling. Not sure what to try next. Feels like something is left over from uninstalling that's hanging it up. But I've no idea what. I could use some Apple Xcode team help here.

Following an unexpected error message while working in Xcode, the project file xcodeproj is no longer synced in iCloud Drive. The Finder shows a cloud icon with a ! and an error message : (NSFileProviderErrorDomain error -2005.) If the local file is zipped, and unzipped elsewhere on iCloud Drive, then the unzipped file can still not be iCloud Synced. Restoring the file from a Time Machine archive does not solve the issue. Apple Care Support finds that iCloud Drive is working fine except for this xcodeproj file and says the issue is Xcode related.

Hi guys, I just joined the dev program, and I am a new coder. I started using swift playground and I am loving it! Is there any other apps that help me to learn coding? Would love to hear some stuff. Thanks.

Hello! We built a macOS .pkg using pkgbuild (contains a DMG + postinstall bash script). The pkg works locally on the build machine but fails on other devices manually / via MDM unless signed. We tried signing with a Developer ID Installer certificate, but: security find-identity -p codesigning -v → 0 valid identities security find-identity -v → shows the cert Private key is present in Keychain OpenSSL check shows: X509v3 Extended Key Usage: Critical (Expected one might be: Code Signing) We recreated CSR + cert multiple times (G2 Sub-CA), ensured Login keychain, unlocked keychain, etc., but same result. Question: Why is the Developer ID Installer cert missing Code Signing usage and not recognized for signing? Is there any account restriction or step we might be missing? Any recommendations on resolving this issue. Thanks!

I'm working on an app, and currently, 2 things dont work: account creation and notifications. I want to find the root of why these errors are occurring, and I want to know if these errors are coming from Firebase, certain settings in Xcode not being checked, or my actual written code not being typed correctly. I've tried to run my issue through ChatGPT many times to pretty much no success, so any help on what to do so I can clear certain areas and make sure the bugs aren't from certain spots, and help me narrow down the issue would be great. Otherwise, if there are other guides or threads I can be linked to, and help me fully break down the issue, that would be great. Thank you for your time reading, and I hope I can get some advice.

I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an individual on April 1st, 2026. The $99 payment was charged to my card. I have received subscription confirmation email on April 1st. However, my account at developer.apple.com/account still shows "Pending" status and displays a "Purchase your membership — complete your purchase now" message, as if no payment was made. I have contacted Apple Developer Support several times through the official contact form from April 4 only to get no response. I have received zero responses to any of these emails. My Case ID is 102861052988. I'm trying to launch my iOS app and this delay is blocking my entire submission timeline. Thank you.

Hi, We’re building an iOS app that uses the Screen Time APIs (FamilyControls and DeviceActivity) to display a user’s own usage metrics inside the app. With the appropriate permissions granted, we are successfully reading and presenting metrics such as: Total screen time Device pickups These metrics are already visible to the user inside our app. We would now like to introduce a user-initiated “Share” feature. The idea is to: Render selected Screen Time metrics into a shareable image card generated locally on device. Present the standard iOS share sheet (UIActivityViewController). Allow the user to share that image to Messages, social apps, etc., if they choose. Important clarifications: This is fully user-initiated. The app does not automatically transmit Screen Time data. The metrics are already displayed in-app with user permission. The share asset would be generated locally. No background export or server-side posting would occur unless explicitly triggered by the user via the share sheet. We are seeking clarification on whether there are any policy or API restrictions around: Rendering Screen Time-derived metrics into a user-facing share card Allowing user-initiated export of those metrics via the standard iOS share flow Are there any additional privacy requirements, entitlement constraints, or App Review considerations we should be aware of when implementing this? Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Hi everyone, I submitted an app update with an auto-renewable subscription, but it was rejected during App Review. The issue is that the rejection message did not clearly specify what part of the subscription implementation is incorrect, so I'm not sure how to proceed. Here is my setup: Subscription type: Auto-renewable StoreKit version: (StoreKit 1 / StoreKit 2) Server-side validation: Yes / No Products configured in App Store Connect: Yes Tested in Sandbox: Yes (working as expected) Questions: Are there common reasons why subscriptions get rejected without detailed explanations? What areas should I double-check (receipt validation, product configuration, UI compliance, etc.)? Is there a recommended way to get more detailed feedback from App Review? Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!
