Non-public API _UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification error for build after validation and archive upload
I have an app that has suddenly gotten a non-public API error after uploading the archive to TestFlight. The error is posted in full below, and has never occurred before. I'm not using the _UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification symbol but I do have two extensions that use UIDevice.orientationDidChangeNotification. However those extensions are not included in the target for the two watch extensions where the error occurs. Has anyone seen this problem before or have some advice? 90338: Non-public API usage. The app references non-public symbols in Watch/watchkitappBeta.app/PlugIns/watchkitappExtensionBeta.appex/watchkitappExtensionBeta: _UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification,The app references non-public symbols in Watch/watchkitappBeta.app/PlugIns/watchkitappExtensionBeta.appex/PlugIns/watchkitappWidgetExtensionBeta.appex/watchkitappWidgetExtensionBeta: _UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification. If method names in your source code match the private Apple APIs listed above, altering your method names will help prevent this app from being flagged in future submissions. In addition, note that one or more of the above APIs may be located in a static library that was included with your app. If so, they must be removed.

What I've tried: Retried submission multiple times Waited and tried again later Checked app metadata and settings Contacted Apple Developer Support on April 17, 2026 (no response yet) Question: Has anyone encountered this issue recently?

In-App Purchases detaching from app version after submission (auto-renewable subscriptions)
Hi, I’m having an issue where my auto-renewable subscriptions keep detaching from my app version after I submit the build in App Store Connect. Details: App ID: com.growthsync.app Platform: iOS (Capacitor build) Using auto-renewable subscriptions What’s happening: I attach all subscriptions to the app version under “In-App Purchases” Everything looks correct before submission After submitting, the subscriptions become detached or require localisation to be re-entered again This happens every time I resubmit Additional issue: Subscriptions are not working in TestFlight either It feels like they are not properly linked to the binary What I’ve already checked: Product IDs match exactly in code and App Store Connect Subscriptions are in the correct group All localisation fields are filled within character limits Products show as “Ready to Submit” before attaching I reattach them before every submission Questions: Why would subscriptions repeatedly detach after submission? Is this a known App Store Connect issue? Is there a specific order required when creating, localising, and attaching subscriptions? Could this be related to the binary not recognising the products? This is currently blocking release so any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

"Upload for App Store Connect" not getting past "Preparing to upload"
For the past couple of days having a problem with Xcode 26.4. When I try to upload an archive to App Store Connect, it gets stuck on "Uploading". I see the progress bar about 70% full, and a "Preparing to upload xxxx.ipa" label below. Letting it sit overnight, restarting Xcode, machine, etc. and the same result. Anybody else seeing?

Kleio – AI voice keyboard TestFlight beta for fast dictation and accessibility feedback
Hi everyone, I’m an indie iOS developer working on Kleio, an AI voice keyboard extension that lets you dictate text quickly anywhere you can type. I’m looking for a small group of beta testers who are willing to try it through TestFlight and share feedback about stability, UX, and accessibility. What Kleio does Adds a custom keyboard so you can press the mic button and dictate instead of typing. Uses AI to turn rough speech into cleaned‑up, properly punctuated text. Lets you pick different writing styles (e.g. more formal vs more casual) for how your dictation should read. Supports a personal dictionary for custom words and names. Keeps transcript history on‑device by default, with optional cloud sync and improvement sharing. Includes a “Privacy Mode” toggle when you don’t want anything uploaded. What I’d love feedback on Onboarding flow for first‑time setup and keyboard enabling. The dictation experience inside real apps (Messages, Notes, Mail, social apps, etc.). Latency, accuracy, and how well the edited text matches what you meant to say. Keyboard layout, button placement, and any confusing interactions. Accessibility and inclusion: How well it works with VoiceOver / Switch Control. Any issues with contrast, touch targets, or labels. Any specific needs for users who rely on voice input more than typing. TestFlight link You can join the beta here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/jGY1fZ7S External group: “Twitter” (currently around 9 testers). No login is required for basic dictation; some settings sync features use account sign‑in. How to send feedback Through TestFlight’s built‑in feedback / screenshots. If you run into crashes, unexpected latency, or accessibility problems, details like device model, iOS version, and what app you were dictating into are extremely helpful. Thanks in advance to anyone who’s willing to try Kleio and help me make the keyboard more reliable and accessible.

In-App Purchase works in TestFlight but fails during App Review (Apple can't complete purchase)
Hello, I have an issue with In-App Purchases during App Review. In TestFlight and Sandbox, everything works correctly: Products are loaded Subscriptions are visible Purchase completes successfully However, Apple reports that the purchase fails during review. My subscriptions are: Created and active in App Store Connect Attached to the app version Paid Apps Agreement accepted I also added all required information (price, duration, EULA, privacy policy). Why would purchases work in TestFlight but fail during App Review? Thank you for your help.

Icon Composer preview and App Store icon look different
Hello, I made my app icon with Icon Composer and added the .icon file directly to my Xcode project. I noticed that the icon preview in Icon Composer looks one way, while the icon shown on the App Store looks different. Details: I am using the .icon file directly in the project I am not using an exported PNG for the app icon I did not add a separate background image The background was set with fill in Icon Composer The preview in Icon Composer looks as expected The App Store version has a different appearance I would like to ask whether this difference may come from: App Store processing caching or a recommended Icon Composer setup for background fill If anyone has seen something similar, I would appreciate any guidance. I can also share screenshots of the Icon Composer preview and the App Store result.

TN3134 clarification: DNS Proxy Provider unusable without MDM on iOS?
Hi, I’m looking for clarification on TN3134: Network Extension provider deployment, specifically iOS deployment requirements for: packet tunnel provider DNS proxy provider From the documentation: Packet Tunnel Provider App extension (min iOS 9.0): per-app mode requires a managed device DNS Proxy Provider App extension (min iOS 11.0): supervised devices only App extension (min iOS 11.0): per-app mode requires managed devices Issue I implemented a DNS proxy using NEDNSProxyManager. Works as expected in debug builds on a local device Fails to configure when distributed via TestFlight Console Output (TestFlight build) error 10:05:39.872258-0500 nehelper The production version of *** is not allowed to create DNS proxy configurations. Use MDM to create DNS Proxy configurations for the production version of ***. Question Is it possible to distribute a DNS proxy provider for use on non-MDM / non-supervised devices? If not: Is the limitation strictly enforced at distribution/runtime? Is a packet tunnel provider the only viable alternative for App Store distribution? There is a lot of different VPN apps on the App Store that appear to work out of the box without MDM or supervision, which suggests they are using a different deployment model. Thank you for any clarification or guidance!

TestFlight link (Mac) not working any more ("Unable to Open Link")
Update: Turns out it works for others, apparently, and I also found one of my Macs where it does work, too. So it must be something pertinent to my systems. Oddly, though, the same ones where it now fails used to work because I had TestFlight enabled there before. I have TestFlight set up on App Store Connect, and I have already about 50 testers subscribed. Today, I found that the Public Link does not work any more: Once TestFlight.app is installed, and one clicks the link to add my app to TestFlight, it always shows the error ""Unable to Open Link" in TestFlight.app: I've tried this on several Macs (Ventura and Sonoma), and with different Accounts, both where the app was already added or not. Is something generally broken, i.e. do others see the same issue with their TestFlight links, or is it just me? How do you suggest I get this resolved? Here's an example link I set up for this purpose - it only allows a handful of subscribers, so please do not actually subscribe but just see if you even get allowed to, or if you get the same error if you must try: https://testflight.apple.com/join/oV8NNojg And here's how it's set up:

how to make external group for testers?
Hi, I'm trying to set up external testing for my iOS app on TestFlight but I can't find the External Testing option anywhere in App Store Connect. My setup: I'm the Account Holder I've uploaded two builds (build 128 via "TestFlight Internal Only", build 130 via "App Store Connect" distribution) I have one internal group with myself added as a tester Both builds show as "Complete" The UI I see does NOT match the documentation. There is no sidebar with "Internal Testing" / "External Testing" sections. I access TestFlight via a dropdown at the top of App Store Connect, which takes me to an iOS Builds list. Clicking into a build shows Test Information, Groups, and Individual Testers — but no way to create an External group or find a public link anywhere. I've tried navigating directly to appstoreconnect.apple.com/apps/[APPID]/testflight/groups but get "We can't process your request." Is there a new App Store Connect UI that has moved where External Testing lives? Is there anything else that needs to be completed before External Testing becomes available for a brand new app? Thanks

Adding a tester to internal test group
I have sent an invite to a user for internal testing. They have received the email and clicked the accept test link. It takes them to App Store Connect web login screen. I do not see that they have accepted the role on my dashboard and they do not have access to my app on Testflight. Has anyone had this/similar issue and resolved it?

Looking for TestFlight users to stress-test onboarding and trip reconstruction flow
I’m looking for a small number of iPhone users to test an app I’ve been building and give honest feedback on the UX. The app is called Triovel. It’s for a problem I kept running into after trips: photos end up in camera roll, plans are buried in chat, and later it’s surprisingly hard to reconstruct what actually happened on each day. The core idea is simple: rebuild or record a trip into a timeline of activities, then attach photos/notes to the right parts of the trip so everything stays together. At this stage, I’m not looking for generic “nice app” feedback. What I need most is feedback on: first-time onboarding clarity whether rebuilding a past trip feels intuitive where the flow feels slow, confusing, or unnecessary whether the timeline structure makes sense right away Good fit if you: recently came back from a trip have an upcoming trip or have old travel photos you never properly organized iPhone only for now. Early beta, so I expect rough edges. If anyone is open to trying it through TestFlight and giving blunt feedback, I’d really appreciate it. TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/6FJp6AMG

A issue that now else has
I’ve had an issue with all of my apps. Where I push my build to TestFlight and then the image pops up. I’ve troubleshooted EVERYTHING. My account has no issues on it, no payment or compliance issues. I’ve looked to reddit for advice, one user says they need there app to get approved by apple, i got a couple apps to have there update approve, still the bug persist. Whether the app is on the App Store or a work in progress nothing works.

Could not launch app on watchOS downloaded from TestFlight
I have a app that has both mobile and watch versions. Recently some testers report that the watch app could not be launched if the put the app in the background and then resume. And if they kill the app and try to launch again, there is no any response when tapping the app icon. I managed to export some system logs, and this info in the screenshot looks suspicious. Does anyone have the same issue? Recently the app has been transferred to another developer account, not sure if it is related, this TestFlight version was rebuilt with the new team

I do not see that they have accepted the role on my dashboard and they do not have access to my app on Testflight. Has anyone had this/similar issue and resolved it?

Looking for TestFlight users to stress-test onboarding and trip reconstruction flow
I’m looking for a small number of iPhone users to test an app I’ve been building and give honest feedback on the UX. The app is called Triovel. It’s for a problem I kept running into after trips: photos end up in camera roll, plans are buried in chat, and later it’s surprisingly hard to reconstruct what actually happened on each day. The core idea is simple: rebuild or record a trip into a timeline of activities, then attach photos/notes to the right parts of the trip so everything stays together. At this stage, I’m not looking for generic “nice app” feedback. What I need most is feedback on: first-time onboarding clarity whether rebuilding a past trip feels intuitive where the flow feels slow, confusing, or unnecessary whether the timeline structure makes sense right away Good fit if you: recently came back from a trip have an upcoming trip or have old travel photos you never properly organized iPhone only for now. Early beta, so I expect rough edges. If anyone is open to trying it through TestFlight and giving blunt feedback, I’d really appreciate it. TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/6FJp6AMG

A issue that now else has
I’ve had an issue with all of my apps. Where I push my build to TestFlight and then the image pops up. I’ve troubleshooted EVERYTHING. My account has no issues on it, no payment or compliance issues. I’ve looked to reddit for advice, one user says they need there app to get approved by apple, i got a couple apps to have there update approve, still the bug persist. Whether the app is on the App Store or a work in progress nothing works.

Could not launch app on watchOS downloaded from TestFlight
I have a app that has both mobile and watch versions. Recently some testers report that the watch app could not be launched if the put the app in the background and then resume. And if they kill the app and try to launch again, there is no any response when tapping the app icon. I managed to export some system logs, and this info in the screenshot looks suspicious. Does anyone have the same issue? Recently the app has been transferred to another developer account, not sure if it is related, this TestFlight version was rebuilt with the new team
