Image Playground stuck at Early Access requested

Hi

I got access to developer beta 18.2 . All the features are working fine but image Playground stuck at Early Access requested. Can someone share how much time it takes before you are able to access image playground? I have been stuck for 3 hours

Hello all,

I recommend that you take this issue to the Apple Support Community.

The Developer Forums are for questions about development on Apple platforms, and this is not a development-level issue.

Best regards,

Greg

A week for me

Been, like, 5_ days for me... Tried various steps, turning off AI, rebooting, then on again. Changing language and region to others rebooting and then back to US/US again. No go. Still 'early access already requested' message.

I've been waiting for 4 days! Ask for help how to solve!

I have been stuck with Early Access requested for 5 days now. I downloaded 18.2 day one and requested shortly after my update. It seems it may be bugged or is verifying each account through some unknown process.

It's been almost a week!

Check this article. The wait list might be resolved this week.

Been over a week and and still have not got past early access

That link to X post does not say this week but in the coming weeks.

More than a week for me -(

it would be nice if you were able to see the wait list and find your location on it. I have been waiting over a week now.

I’ve been stuck on “early access requested” ever since 18.2 beta came out on iPad, been about been 4-5 days now. Tried rebooting and all but nothing has working.

stuck on "downloading support for image playground"

I am still stuck on Early Access Requested for several day now. Any ideas?

Has anyone got access it’s been 5 days for me

Hello avasthia,

I hope you are doing well.

I regret to inform you that the Image Playground Wait Time is currently experiencing an increase. Apple has announced that new slots will be released for the Image Playground Waitlist over the coming weeks.

To ensure the responsible deployment of these advanced AI tools, Apple has implemented a cautious approach. Please note that this is a waitlist, and access will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Thank you for your patience. I appreciate your understanding and hope you have a productive day.

Yes, Playground is here.

Finally after a week!

Lucky :(

3 days and counting 🫤

Being 6days still not yet

its been 24 hours for me. anyway to by pass this anyone?

i’ve been stuck for almost 2 years now! oh wait we’re not talking about my life, just access to this stupid app. ugh it’s only been a little while

Requested access Day 1 and still no access. Don’t mind waiting, just so long as it isn’t one of my settings causing me to miss out.

Location is US and language US English. (British but living in the US so sometimes things get a little mixed up)

Check the settings to see if there is a new notification. Not in the Playground app.

It’s been 9 days for me. I upgraded to iOS 18.2 on Monday October 21 2024, I guess that was when iOS 18.1 was released to the public. maybe one day I will see it.
