We build an iPad photo booth app and have a DriverKit USB transport driver for DNP/Citizen and HiTi dye-sub photo printers. These printers have no vendor drivers for iPadOS, so a dext is the only way to print from an iPad. The driver is complete and hardware-validated on both printer families under a development profile. The only thing blocking distribution is the entitlement.
Our requests have been in "Submitted" state since July:
- 72B5P53K28 (July 24, 2026): DriverKit, USB Transport, UserClient Access, vendor IDs 4931 (0x1343) and 5202 (0x1452)
- 4Z76G958GF (July 25, 2026): amendment adding vendor ID 3350 (0x0D16, HiTi Digital)
Developer Support case 20000136465729 was opened for this and acknowledged on September 1, but there has been no decision.
I noticed in https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/826658 that a DTS engineer confirmed the identical configuration (one USB dext, vendor IDs 3350, 4931, 5202) was approved for another team on May 5, so the scope itself is clearly something Apple grants.
Is there anything further needed from us to move these along, or a way to get a status on them? Team ID: 7B3398CSQU
