IMPORTANT Improvements in the New Post form have eliminated the gotcha described below. DevForums has the concept of public and private tags: Public tags are available to everyone, per the rules outlined in Developer > Support > Developer Forums. Private tags are limited to a specific set of developers. The canonical example of a private tag is Universal App Quick Start, which is only available to folks who had an Apple silicon DTK. If you have access to any private tags, the New Post form has an extra field, Post Visibility. Its default value is Private but you can switch it to Public. The Tags field adjusts accordingly. So, if you select Private you only see a limited set of private tags. Use these if your post is about one of those private topics. OTOH, if your post is about a public topic, change Post Visibility to Public and apply the appropriate public tags.

I want to change the app category from lifestyle to food and drink, my question is if I change the app category, will I lose all downloads and ratings? which I get from previous one.

It has been 576 hours since I got email that purchase will be completed in next 48 hours (Aug 19th).I tried it again on Aug 30th and Sept 4th but still no other resposne than those same emails.No charge on my bank account, nothing. I even sent support message and still no answer.What is happening Apple?

Currently when searching on the Apple Developer Forums it shows the current page number but doesn't show how many pages of results there are total. It would be nice if it also showed the total number of pages of results. FB21655261 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/744

I watch some topics in the developer forums and when those topics are updated, I receive email notifications. That notification contains a link with the text "View the thread" which I believe is meant to take you to the corresponding latest reply in that topic. For example, I was watching this thread https://developer.apple.com/forums//thread/792453 and when the latest reply there was posted to I received the notification with the "View the thread" link which pointed to https://developer.apple.com/forums//thread/792453?answerId=872080022&replyId=872080022. However, clicking on that link redirects me to the login page. I think it would be better if that link was https://developer.apple.com/forums//thread/792453?answerId=872080022#872080022 which would have taken me to the appropriate reply without forcing a login. Is that something that can be considered?

It would be helpful to have an option for filtering searches on the Developer Forums by date created or date of last activity. FB21588346 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/742

I used to resize images (editing width and height when writing the post) in order to avoid ridiculously large images in reading published post. Since a few weeks, that does not work anymore. When I edit, I see the reduced size in Live Preview: But once posted, images are much larger as seen below: Looks like the image is now resized to fill full width. I filed a bug report: Dec 27, 2025 at 1:43 PM – FB21446929 PS: that change ignores @eskimo wise advice "Quinn’s Top Ten DevForums Tips" n°10 (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/706527).

It's so bad seeing this light mode... Can I ask Apple to give me an access to their frontend, so I can contribute to their repo with a dark mode feature? Not asking Apple to make the dark theme, but rather asking them let me do it.

I made a developer account. I uploaded a photo id, it notified me that it will take 2 business days to get verified, but it has been already 2 weeks. What to do?

Trying to post a question about packages on this forum, I keep cueing the message: 'This post contains sensitive language. Please revise it in order to continue.' There is nothing in my query that is remotely ‘sensitive’. I don’t know what to do next. Thanks in advance for any advice. Regards, Lar

Dragging and dropping images to forum posts doesn't work. It just inserts text with the image file path. FB21252859 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/726

It would be helpful to be able to upload short videos to the Developer Forums. FB21241023 https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/725

How to remove answered mark

The "Remind me later" button doesn't work on the "Customize your experience with Apple Developer" page on the Developer Forums. It just redirects me back to the same page. https://github.com/feedback-assistant/reports/issues/723

I've tried several times to post a reply to a message, but I got an error message instead, telling me to try again in a few minutes. I just found out that it did post my replies, without telling me. So now there's many duplicates of the same reply, one for each of my attempts. I'm using Firefox 144.0.2 (aarch64) on macOS 26.1 (25B78).

Hello, I notice the link on top of this site is incorrect: https://developer.apple.com/forums/tags/sign-in-with-apple-rest-api Its target (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/sign_in_with_apple/sign_in_with_apple_rest_api) does not exist.

Hi, Developer Support answered my original question by email telling me that I should ask my question here, because I have reached the wrong Support team... Here is my question: I have asked for some help in the forum about SF Symbols, but at last the solution I have found by myself was much more general than the original title of my post suggested. Now, In order to better share my foundings and better help the community about the subject, I think that a more general title would be appropriate. It's about using Affinity Designer to create custom SF Symbols, where my original title only mentions my difficulties about creating such symbols. https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/788403 Can I modify the title of my post by myself (if yes, how?) or should a Forum admin do that for me? Thank you in advance for your help, Marc

Issue solved. Retracting question.
