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

Hello Apple community !
Not here to report an issue but I just wanted to make a suggestion ^^
I feel like a common frustration amongst developers is the lack of transparency over bugs filed on developer tools, SDKs, iOS versions, the whole Apple ecosystem really.
This leads to the creation of parallel bug tracking tools (https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports?tab=readme-ov-file /
https://openradar.appspot.com/page/1) or filing of duplicates for reports that may already exist and are being worked on.
I feel like this would save time for both external developers that encounter bugs & Apple engineers that have to look for possible duplicates to share a common public database of issues.
Other companies have this kind of system in place (Google for example : https://issuetracker.google.com/) so why not Apple ?
Thank you
As I've more verbosely asked at apple.stackexchange.com/revisions/479121/1#:~:text=Screenshot-,Screenshot,-I%20am%20able, when reporting feedback for an application installed via TestFlight, which of Feedback Assistant's "Third-Party Apps"'s "Something else not on this list" or "TestFlight" categories are superior?
I ask primarily because applications installed via TestFlight are not enumerated there. However, also because via Feedback Assistant, I can provide significantly better feedback than I can on TestFlight, because of its undermentioned attributes:
I can provide follow-up information as I gain more, and correct old information.
It provides draft functionality, in case I need to take some time to create an actionable report.
I can upload more information, like multiple screenshots and other file types.
How to report a bug says "With Feedback Assistant available on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and the web, it’s easy to report issues you encounter". The Feedback Assistant User Guide says "Tell Apple about your experience with beta or seed releases". Is Feedback Assistant only intended for reporting bugs in beta software?
A year ago I reported a bug in Xcode 14 and now I'm being asked to verify this issue with Xcode 16 Beta 3. I'm not a beta tester and I don't want to install beta software. How should I proceed?
So, I was attempting to rename my Finder Tags. Unfortunately, I’m also trying Apple’s Intelligent Writing Tools to proofread it, but I’ve encountered a bug in it. Here’s an example:
For reference, my macOS version is macOS Sequoia 15.3.2 (24D81)—a stable version.
I hope that bug is fixed soon.
I received an email from Apple saying they couldn't auto-renew my developer subscription, due to a "billing error."
I went in and deleted my lone payment method (which looked up-to-date), and created a new one for the same credit card in my developer account for billing. All the information appears correct. I've downloaded the Developer app, where it tells me my developer subscription is good through next month. There's a Renew button underneath. If I click on it, an alert says either "Unknown Error" (first time after launching), or it says "Unable to Continue. Please ensure your device and iCloud account meet our system requirements. Visit https://developer.apple.com/support/app-account/" (subsequent times). These are near-useless error messages. Which doesn't sound like a billing error.
I don't pay anything for an iCloud account, nor wish to use an iCloud account. I'm running System 12.1 on my M1 MacBook Pro.
After an hour of talking with three different humans at 1-800-MY-APPLE, they couldn't help, basically giving up and telling me to go to developer.apple.com/support/technical. But that's for submitting a TSI (Technical Support Incident) for my own needs as a developer, not for Apple's uninformative software.
All I want to do is renew my developer subscription. Something's obviously wrong, but the automated system isn't providing enough information to continue, and the humans at the other end of the phone don't have enough information to help. The last guy I talked with threw up his hands, apologizzed, and then wished that I have a "good day."
Any suggestions?
I've been getting this error when opening TestFlight since this morning.
I tried restarting the network, re-install testflight, updating my iPhone, and re-logging with my Apple ID.
This error prevents me from installing or updating all apps linked to my account, so I don't think it's related to a particular app permission.

I have been trying to enroll for the Apple developer program for almost a year now but Apple has been deliberately frustrating my efforts despite providing every requested information and ID.
I have provided every single detail and have gotten to payment/purchase twice but Apple refused to debit/process my payments on both occasions. The latest being last week. I have successful $0.00 test transactions from Apple proving that my payment card is valid on Apple. There really isn't any excuse for not allowing me to complete purchase.
After that, Apple disabled my enrollment on the web and directed me to restart on the developer mobile app which I still complied with. Yet, after uploading my ID via a link that was sent to me by a certain Jenny from Developer support (eurodev@apple) and filling in my address hoping to finally proceed to purchase, Apple has disabled my enrollment and I see the message "Your enrollment could not be completed. Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time." The web option has also been disabled.
No message or explanation was provided.
Developer support and Apple support have refused to respond to my many mails since then.
It's almost as if they were not expecting me to meet their requirements as EVERY SINGLE STEP has been met with some sort of restriction.
I have successfully created and uploaded apps on the Google PlayStore till date using the same details without any hassles. I have no criminal records nor restrictions against my person and neither did Apple indicate anything that could prevent my enrollment so this treatment is distasteful.
I believe Apple discriminates against locations because I am African. I doubt if US or European applicants face this type of discriminatory treatment from a supposed multinational corporation.
I am not the only African complaining about this treatment too.
It is sad because Apple generates revenue from Africa but does not consider us to be relevant enough.
Shameful.
