Every time I the Xcode Cloud want to archive the project, after 30 minutes it says "The step invocation hit a user timeout. The xcodebuild archive invocation timed out. No activity has been detected on stdout, stderr or the result bundle in 30 minutes." I added a step before archiving to build the project and it was ok. Do you have any suggestions on why this keeps happening? It happens constantly to me.

This page talks about the Feedback Assistant app for developers, and how it's the preferred way to submit feedback. But I didn't see anything obvious about how to get it. So I look for it in the app store. Nothing.About 5 minutes of searching brings me back to a well-hidden sentence on that page saying that it's on the home screen if you have a Beta version installed, but you can enable it on the publicly released versions by "installing a beta profile".I have no idea what that means. I can find no info on the web or the searching the developer site about how to "install a beta profile". I find instructions for installing Beta versions of iOS, but don't see anything about how to get the app without actually installing a beta OS.I did find a (sketchy as F...) website called betaprofiles.com <--- (don't click) that downloads and tries to install software on my Mac. (To which I said 'ell no). Seems an opportunist noticed this gaping vacuum that Apple created and stepped in to "fill it". I wonder how many people have gotten malware because of this lack of documentation.Sorry, frustrated as heck.OK, finally stumbled on the instructions in a MacWorld article. I guess I've started downloading "the profile", it will supposedly notify me when it's finished downloading, but I can't confirm that's actually happening. And I still don't even know what a "profile" is or what will happen if I "install" it.Seriously, this info should be easier to find. Searching these terms should bring up an informative article on apple.com at the top of the results, not some shady (AFAICT) malware site, and the best info being on MacWorld.

Hi, I am using the Apple TV application on a computer with Windows 10. For some time now I have had problems with playing video material. It often happens that there is a black screen in the background, there is sound playing and at some point the entire application freezes. only restarting the computer will help. I was looking for a solution on the Internet and found that many people had a similar problem. The second problem is that the video cannot be played at all, and video clips do not work in the Apple Music application. Only resetting the application helps. The attached video shows a problem with displaying subtitles embedded in the movie "An Apple Original", this problem does not occur in trailers, etc. This can be seen at the end of the trailer where the inscription "December 15 ", he just doesn't blink. I would like to point out that this effect does not occur when I watch it through the Chrome browser. I use the application because it is possible to download a movie/series to disk, which allows me to eliminate any overdubs and jams by streaming directly. From what you can see, both applications are in the beta, preview phase. Have any of you had similar problems? Where can I report it so that developers (I don't know if it's Apple or Microsoft) eliminate it? So when will both applications be released in their final version? https://photos.app.goo.gl/1zuyLS5KjGhSRHM87 Thank you in advance for your answer and help. Regards.

Hi all I have made an application on Windows Adobe Animate /Air ios. when I tried to get a provisioning profile from Adobe, they said I would have to get this from Apple. So I had to join an Apple developers program which I did at a cost of £79 non-refundable. I began to make up my Provisioning profile on apple developers site and at the very end of the process it told me to press a dedicated button on my Apple computer well I don't have an Apple computer that's why I made the application on Windows Adobe Animate with Air ios converter. When I pointed this out to Adobe their reply was to ask Apple if there is a way round this problem. Well I am asking you guys, is there a way round this? Alan

Currently, I am encountering a challenge in releasing my application in Somalia as the country is not listed in the App Store distribution options. Even the Apple support team has not been able to provide sufficient information on this matter. I kindly seek assistance from anyone who can guide me through the necessary procedures to make my application available for users in Somalia. Your insights and help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Downloading Xcode used to be reliable. Now it only takes a single sub-second outage of your network to kick the download into oblivion and make it start again. Please can you put fault tolerance and recivery back into App Store for downloads. Not only does it take 10x as long with all the restarts, on some networks (like Starlink) where sub-second disconnects are expected, it uses up your entire data allowance by (for example) downloading 99% of the 3.21GB and then starting again, and again, and again.... I've reported this on feedback assistant, but did not get a repsonse. Alternativey do we need to go back to days of Mac OSX Tiger and ship developer CDs! I remeber getting my first developer kit back in the day, in a big box full of CDs and printed manuals! I think I still have them somewhere... and UPS would turn up every now and again with updates on CD! Ahhh....

Hello everyone, I'd like to post this so the issue becomes known to the Apple team and developers. I believe this information is very valuable for the company and would improve the lives of multiple customers around the globe and people wouldn't have to experiment with unknown 3rd party tools and possibly compromise their data. I've talked about this to a Senior Advisor and I was recommended to leave a post and feedback about this issue. In this post I'll be talking about Data Recovery possibility for a lot of people who encounter "Error 1110" in iTunes. What causes Error 1110 (common)? User takes up all of the storage space available on the iOS device. Software begins to malfunction or in my case begins to update overnight leading to a catastrophic failure. Device not booting. What is Error 1110? Device doesn't have enough storage space to boot or update. Only option available is "Restore" via iTunes. Device is stuck in a bootloop or constantly boots into Recovery Mode. iTunes isn't able to "Update" the device due to the following sample error: <key>AMRError</key> <integer>1110</integer> <string>Upgrade Install failed(ENOSPC) TotalSpace: 122070 MB InitialFreeSpace: 1675 MB FreeSpaceAfterCleanup: 1675 InitialDataVolumeUsage: 113289 MB DataVolumeUsageAfterCleanup: 113289 MB RequiredAdditionalSpace: 5956 MB </string> Consequences of this issue are as follows: Unable to boot device to retrieve data such as: Photos, Videos, etc... Forces customer or user to perform a software reset via iTunes. I'd like to point out that I've ran into loads of devices with Error 1110 including my own. This has been happening way more ever since iOS 10 release. In the last 4 years I've tried many repair shops and asked around for solutions to no avail. So I ended up digging deeper into this and found hundreds of posts around the web with people running into this issue. Reached out to numerous repair shops to see how often this occurs and it looks like it's a constant issue. So I took the time to investigate and come up with some solutions. Solutions that would help: Create a signed iOS copy every single time a new iOS releases. The copy would be a iOS (Light) version with all of the current security features but without system apps such as: Camera, Safari, Calendar, etc... However, it would be important that we do not allow downgrading these versions publicly either due to security reasons. So each release there would be 2 iOS versions. For example, we could implement the following: iOS 16.0.2 & iOS 16.0.2 (Light). This would definitely guarantee a fix for majority of people. In addition, this light iOS version could perform slight repairs to the current OS. The idea behind it is similar to a safe boot. Allow customers to send out their devices to Apple repair for a fee in order to downgrade iOS version that isn't being signed in order to successfully update device and repair the firmware. Afterwards, upload customers data to iCloud and reset the device. Why would this solution work? because lower iOS versions require less storage space and the chances of data retrieval increase. I personally like the first option as it would allow users to repair their devices from home. The second solution could be a temporary fix. However, second option doesn't necessarily guarantee data retrieval or a fix to the problem. Please let me know of what you guys think and if you have any suggestions. Feel free to reach out to me with questions as I've experimented with a load of such devices. Couple devices I've managed to fix for others but sadly haven't been able to fix mine as the storage situation is more severe on mine. There are people who lost years worth of information and so did I.

Lately, whenever I submit a bug report via Feedback Assistant, I never receive any responses or requests for additional information from Apple. It feels like my bug reports are completely ignored, which discourages me from writing additional bug reports. Is anyone else having the same experience? As an example, I submitted several bug reports with regards to iOS 14 beta over a month ago, and I have yet to hear back from Apple.

"Hello, I am not a developer, but I have a problem with Viber. Audio messages are not downloading, and pictures are loading poorly. This happened after I switched from my Samsung to an iPhone 14 Pro Max. I've tried reinstalling, the internet is good, and my girlfriend with the same phone has a similar issue."

I've heard people talking about them before, but exactly what does it refer to? I think it refers to filing something on bugreport.apple.com; am I correct?

Dear Apple,I'm an iOS developer and provided feedback in the good old online bug tracker for many years.Decent conversations with Apple egnineers often resulted in bug fixes or updated documentation.The fact that my contributions helped to improve the products was rewarding.So I kept adding reports in the new Feedback Assistant app in macOS Catalina.But ever since (September 2019) I never ever got any response on any ticket.1 month ago I even added a report if Apple even read my reports. Again, no response ever since.So my question on this forum: Is Apple actually reading reports in the new Feedback Assistant?This can either be answered by Apple, or by other Developers that hopefully did response feedback from Apple. Or did not.Best regards,Martijn

I wanted to buy Apple developer account. Due to a misunderstanding I added $105 dollars to Apple Funds, thinking that money should added to Apple Funds inorder to purchase the developer account. This failed, and I asked ChatGPT about this and I realized that developer account cannot be purchased using Apple Funds. I contacted Apple support for either a refund or grant me with a developer account. They denied it and said only my bank can do anything about it. I went to the bank and they said only Apple can do anything on it. Now I don't have developer account and I have lost $105. What will I do?

TLDR: WD External Hard Drive shows in finder and in NTFS/WD software but won't mount when pressed. I have two WD External Hard Drives, a 1 and 4 TB Drive. I am a graphic designer and like keeping photography, videos and assets or old projects on other drives so they don't take up space on my computer. A couple months ago one of my 4 TB Drive wouldn't mount to my computer, and after messing with the WD software that I had installed on my computer for a few hours I gave up and decided to just start saving stuff onto my computer. While working in Photoshop I got the error that my Scratch Disks were full and that I needed to free up some space, so I tried off loading some undergrad work onto my 1TB Drive and had the same issue. I tried using different cords, reinstalling software, and troubleshooting to no avail. I live pretty far from the nearest Genius Bar so I thought I'd try posting here before scheduling a appointment. Reminder that I can physically click the "Mount" button, but it gives me loading animation for a second then reverts back to the same "Mount" button as before and the drive doesn't show on my desktop or in my Finder.
