I have filed Feedback Assistant report FB24182480 for this issue. On an Apple Watch Series 6 running watchOS 26.6 (23U67), a TestFlight watchOS app can successfully load a non-consumable StoreKit 2 product from Sandbox and display its localized price. However, a subsequent single call to product.purchase() can fail before, or while, the system confirmation sheet is displayed. The app itself remains alive. It receives StoreKit.StoreKitError.systemError (code 1), with an underlying NSCocoaErrorDomain error 4097, consistent with losing the XPC connection to storekitd. The affected run’s private co-sysdiagnose shows this sequence: storekitd starts processing the payment. The Sandbox purchase request returns HTTP 200. AMSPaymentSheetTask begins. The kernel reports that storekitd exceeded its ActiveSoft 5 MB limit and terminates it as the high-water process. The app receives Cocoa error 4097. A later user-initiated retry was handled by a restarted storekitd process and ended with the same result. There are no overlapping product, entitlement, or purchase operations, and the app does not automatically retry purchase(). The issue is intermittent: in other runs on the same Watch, the Sandbox purchase sheet has appeared successfully. This makes it appear to be a system purchase-service lifecycle or memory-management issue rather than a product-configuration or product-loading issue. Environment: Apple Watch Series 6 (Watch6,4) watchOS 26.6 (23U67) TestFlight build StoreKit 2 Sandbox non-consumable IAP One explicit Buy tap per attempt Has anyone seen storekitd being terminated with a high-water reason during a watchOS purchase flow, or found a supported app-side mitigation for the resulting StoreKit error 1 / Cocoa 4097? I have kept the sysdiagnose and recordings private in Feedback Assistant because they contain account, device, and network information.

I have an app with a Widget Extension. Both the main app and the widget extension link against the same Swift Package, which contains a localization bundle (String Catalog) used by SwiftUI views inside the package. To make the package's views follow the app's configured language (rather than the system language), I set CFBundleAllowMixedLocalizations to NO in the Info.plist of each target (main app and widget extension). Behavior in the main app: This works as expected. If the app only supports Korean, the package's views display Korean text even when the system language is set to English. Behavior in the widget: The same views (from the same package) display English instead of Korean, even though the widget extension has the identical CFBundleAllowMixedLocalizations = NO setting and the widget's view code lives entirely in the package — not in the widget extension target itself. Question: As far as I understand, widgets are supposed to follow the host app's language setting. Given that both targets have the same Info.plist configuration, why would the widget extension resolve localized strings differently from the main app for code in the same package? Is this expected behavior for widget extensions specifically, or a bug? Is there a recommended workaround to force a widget extension (and by extension, the Swift Package code it runs) to use the app's language instead of the system language?

Hi, On visionOS 27 simulator accessoryRectangular widget shows completely blank with no text. The same widget shows up correctly on iOS 27 simulator. What I have tried: I have checked the timeline provider and they all seem to be generating timeline entries. supportedFamilies include accessoryRectangular I have even hard coded the content in the view for the widget yet only accessoryRectangular for visionOS 27 shows up blank. Isolated problem The same widget shows up correctly on iOS 27 simulator. The problem is only with visionOS 27. Environment: macOS: 26.6.1 (25G76) Xcode: 27.0 beta 5 (27A5237l) Simulator: visionOS 27.0 Questions What am I missing? How can I resolve it? Is this a known issue? Has anyone gotten accessoryRectangular widget showing up on visionOS 27 simulator? Any help on this would be much appreciated.

We're evaluating Apple-hosted Background Assets for an app distributed on App Store and would like to understand the security model behind it before adopting it. So far the public documentation only mentions the HTTPS requirement for asset transport. We'd appreciate any additional documentation or guidance covering: How asset downloads are authenticated (e.g., is access tied to the app's entitlement/provisioning, or is there a separate token/credential mechanism?) How access to specific assets is controlled/scoped Where Apple-hosted assets are physically/logically hosted (e.g., is this CDN-backed, and is there any control or visibility over hosting region?) Any other security considerations typically associated with cloud-hosted content (encryption in transit and at rest, integrity verification, etc.) Is there a more detailed security/architecture document beyond the public developer documentation, or can someone from the team point us in the right direction?

So how can I still login

Hello everyone, I need help about ASK. AccessorySetupKit: removeAccessory confirmation dialog displayed in English while device, app and ASK picker are localized in French. Area: AccessorySetupKit / Bluetooth Type: Incorrect/Unexpected Behavior iOS version: iOS 26.6 When calling ASAccessorySession.removeAccessory(_:completionHandler:), the system confirmation dialog ("Remove paired accessory? "MyAppXXX" is attempting to remove MyDevice.") is displayed in English, even though: The device language is French Locale.current.identifier = fr_FR The app's effective localization resolves to French Bundle.main.preferredLocalizations = ["fr"] The app bundle declares French Bundle.main.localizations = ["en", "es", "it", "fr", "nl"] developmentLocalization = "en" All other AccessorySetupKit UI is correctly localized: the ASK picker shown by showPicker(for:) and the pairing dialogs appear in French as expected. Only the remove-accessory confirmation dialog falls back to English. Issue is already open with Apple feedback Assistant: FB24306024 And also by Apple technical support 21587044 Thank you

When using AccessorySetupKit to remove accessories, a pop-up window appears when calling removeAccessory. However, the text in the pop-up window does not change according to my iPhone's language settings and remains only in English. Has anyone encountered this issue? Does Apple have any plans to address this compatibility issue?

I’m trying to request an NFC PassKit Certificate through https://developer.apple.com/contact/passkit/. After clicking Send, the completed form is POSTed successfully and receives 200 OK, but the server returns the original form instead of a confirmation page. The page’s passkit.js then clears all fields, and Developer Support confirmed that my earlier submission was never received. Has anyone else encountered this behavior or found another way to submit the NFC PassKit Certificate request?

On iOS 26.4, I set a Screen Time passcode. However, when I go to Settings > Apps > [Our App] and turn off Screen Time Access for the app, the system asks for Face ID instead of the Screen Time passcode. As a result, Screen Time access can be disabled without entering the Screen Time passcode. Steps to Reproduce 1. Set a Screen Time passcode on iOS 26.4. 2. Open Settings > Apps > [Our App]. 3. Turn off Screen Time Access for the app. Expected Result The system should require the Screen Time passcode before allowing Screen Time access to be disabled. Actual Result The system asks for Face ID instead of the Screen Time passcode, and Screen Time access is disabled.

I’m building an app that contributes to a crowdsourced earthquake early warning network: the device reports anomalous accelerometer readings, a server correlates them across nearby devices, and users farther from the epicenter get a warning seconds ahead. Detection has to continue while the app isn’t in the foreground. I’ve ruled out the obvious paths — CMMotionManager stops on suspension, CMPedometer and CMMotionActivityManager only return historical data, BGTaskScheduler is too infrequent, and CMSensorRecorder is watchOS-only. I’ve also read thread 765258, where DTS confirmed there’s no background capability for accelerometer data and that repurposing another one risks rejection under 2.5.4, so I’m not looking for a workaround. Is there any supported way to do this on iOS, for instance restricted to when the device is stationary and charging? Or is this outside what the platform currently allows? Thanks.

I'm seeing IAPError(code: storekit_no_response, source: app_store, message: "StoreKit: Failed to get response from platform.") when calling queryProductDetails() (via Flutter's in_app_purchase/in_app_purchase_storekit plugin) for all 6 of my app's In-App Purchase products. This happens consistently on a real device (iOS 18.7.9), including after a full device restart. I've followed the entire TN3186 checklist: Paid Apps Agreement: Active Banking: Active Tax Forms: Active Bundle ID matches App Store Connect and Certificates/Identifiers/Profiles In-App Purchase capability is enabled on the App ID All 6 product identifiers match exactly and are attached to the app version under review Pricing is set for all territories on all products None of this resolves the error. This also caused an App Store review rejection citing "In-app purchase products... could not be found in the submitted binary" for the same reason. Bundle ID: com.playadda.playadda Product IDs affected: gems_pack_100, gems_pack_500, gems_pack_1200, premium_monthly, battle_pass_s1, starter_pack Has anyone found a resolution to this specific error beyond the standard TN3186 checklist?

My app has been stuck in “Waiting for Review” status since August 6th, over a week now. I’ve submitted multiple expedited review requests and haven’t received any response or update on any of them. This delay is holding up my launch and affecting my ability to plan around it. I understand expedited review isn’t guaranteed, but getting no reply at all, even a decline, makes it hard to know whether the request was seen or if something else is holding up the review. Could someone look into my case and let me know what’s going on? Best regards, App Name: Ratiō - AI Calorie Tracker Apple ID: 6790632661

Does iOS support launching of 2 MFMessageComposeViewControllers back to back i.e without dismissing the previous one? We are integrating an SDK from a vendor who, inside the SDK is presenting the MFMessageComposeViewController 2 times back to back, and one of the MFMessageComposeViewController is getting dismissed but the other one doesn't, their standalone app does the same but it works there, not inside the SDK, Just wanted to know why the second MFMessageComposeViewController doesn't dismiss, or is it the correct approach to do so.

I'm working on an iPhone app that continuously monitors device tilt with Core Motion. When the device has been held tilted forward past a threshold angle for a sustained period, the app raises a local notification. The detection has to keep running while my app is in the background. The situation I need to detect is, by definition, one where the user is looking at some other app — if my app were in the foreground, there would be nothing to detect. So a foreground-only implementation would not implement the feature at all. While testing this I ran into a behavior I would like to understand properly before I rely on it. What I observe CMMotionManager device-motion updates to a backgrounded app stop within a few seconds of the app leaving the foreground — unless a Core Location session is running at the same time. With location updates started under When In Use authorization and allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true, the device-motion callbacks continue for the whole time the app is backgrounded. Stop the location session, and they stop again. I built a focused sample to measure this. It starts device-motion updates at 10 Hz on a background OperationQueue and counts every callback, records the count on didEnterBackground, and on willEnterForeground logs how many arrived during the interval against how many would be expected at 10 Hz. Measured on an iPhone running iOS 26.5.2, launched from the Home screen with no debugger attached: location ON | background 137s | received 1366 / expected ~1373 (99.5%) location OFF | background 129s | received 2 / expected ~1286 (0.16%) Both callbacks in the second run arrived immediately after the transition to the background; nothing arrived over the remaining two minutes. One thing that cost me a test cycle, in case it saves someone else one: the difference only shows up when the app is launched from the Home screen. With the Xcode debugger attached the app is not suspended, and both cases deliver callbacks for the entire interval. The location session in the sample is configured as low as I can make it, since the app never reads the coordinates: manager.desiredAccuracy = kCLLocationAccuracyThreeKilometers manager.distanceFilter = 3000 manager.activityType = .other manager.pausesLocationUpdatesAutomatically = false manager.requestWhenInUseAuthorization() // started from the foreground, once authorization is granted manager.allowsBackgroundLocationUpdates = true manager.startUpdatingLocation() func locationManager(_ manager: CLLocationManager, didUpdateLocations locations: [CLLocation]) { // Intentionally empty. This sample does not use the location values. } My questions Is continuous CMDeviceMotion delivery to a backgrounded app dependent on an active Core Location session? Is that intended and expected behavior on current iOS versions, or an implementation detail I should not be relying on? If it is expected behavior, what configuration would you recommend for an app in this situation? Specifically, is kCLLocationAccuracyThreeKilometers with a large distanceFilter sufficient to sustain the session, or does reliable delivery require a higher accuracy or a smaller distance filter? Is there another supported API or background execution mechanism that delivers continuous device-motion or accelerometer data to a backgrounded app? I am aware of CMSensorRecorder for retrospective retrieval, but I need to react in near real time. I would like to be sure I am not overlooking a more appropriate API. Environment: iOS 18.0 and later, iPhone only, Swift / SwiftUI. I have the focused sample project available if it would be useful. Thanks very much for any help.

I recently had my app Spark Matched: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spark-matched/id6786071027 accepted to the Apple Store but when I try to launch promptly closes and the icon I added isn’t displaying

Hi, I have deployed my app on Test Flight, I have two subscriptions, monthly and yearly. User can have one of them at a time and upgrade, downgrade to the other. Upgrade, downgrade, cancel from the Apple Settings worked fine in the sandbox environment when testing locally. Now when I have deployed the app on TestFlight, I was able to purchase the subscription successfully from my app. Now when I want to cancel my subscription from the Apple Settings it gives me the following error after confirming cancellation, 'Your request is temporarily unable to be processed. Please try again later.' Also the other subscription offer (yearly) is also not shown to which I could upgrade, even though in the sandbox I was able to upgrade downgrade from the settings. Another thing I have noticed is that the app Icon or name is not shown anywhere in settings with the subscription. Instead of app icon only empty square is shown. Even though app icon shows fine everywhere else. Can someone please help me figure out this issue?

Hi, Overview In my project I am using a .storekit StoreKit configuration file that is synced. I have only non-consumable products Problem When I loop through Transaction.currentEntitlements after verification the properties such as transaction.productType are all NULL. Note I have called .finish on the transaction after the following: Processing Transaction.updates Processing purchasing a new product Environment: Xcode 27 Beta 5 iOS 26.6 Questions How can I resolve this? Am I missing something? Should I be using Transaction.latest(for:) instead of Transaction.currentEntitlements?

Summary: We gate premium access on the renewal status returned by Product.SubscriptionInfo.Status.all, following the pattern in your Implementing a store in your app using the StoreKit API sample (CustomerEntitlements.checkCurrentStatuses()). In production we are seeing a subset of users whose Status.all yields zero statuses, even though they hold an active subscription with a future expiration date (according to our own persisted state). This causes us to incorrectly treat them as unsubscribed. How we read status: func currentSubscriptionStatuses() async -> [SubscriptionStatusInfo] { await Product.SubscriptionInfo.Status.all .collect() .flatMap(.1) .compactMap(SubscriptionStatusInfo.init(skStatus:)) } The compactMap only drops entries failing case .verified. In the affected cases Status.all itself emits no (groupID, statuses) pairs at all - the sequence is empty, not filtered. Affected population: Previously had an active paid subscription (our own persisted state shows pro with an expiry date in the future). Not new installs. Questions: Under what conditions can Product.SubscriptionInfo.Status.all return an empty sequence for an Apple Account that currently holds an active auto-renewable subscription (e.g. not signed into the App Store, StoreKit not yet initialized at launch, offline, renewal in flight, Family Sharing)? Is an empty result from Status.all ever authoritative ("no subscription"), or must it always be treated as inconclusive and never used to revoke access? Is there a recommended way to distinguish "no subscription for this account" from "status temporarily unavailable" (e.g. a signal for no signed-in App Store account, or a readiness/error path)? Does Status.all guarantee it reflects a signed-in account context, and what is the expected behavior when the device has no active App Store account at call time?

FB: https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/feedback/22556883 We're seeing a small number of production users where both Transaction.currentEntitlements and Transaction.all return zero transactions for a valid, active, non-refunded non-consumable IAP. This makes it impossible to restore the purchase via any StoreKit 2 API. Environment: Xcode 26.4 (Build 17E192) iOS 26.4.1 Direct call to SK2 Transactions.all & Flutter in_app_purchase package v3.2.3 (uses SK2 on iOS 15+) Non-consumable IAP (one-time purchase) What we observe: AppStore.sync() triggers but the purchase stream returns 0 transactions Transaction.all returns empty Transaction.currentEntitlements also returns empty User is confirmed on the correct Apple ID Issue reproduces on both iPhone and Mac for the same Apple ID Issue appears to have started recently for users who previously had no problems Debug log from affected production user: [2026-04-20T08:50:10.744115Z] init: iapAvailable=true [2026-04-20T08:50:10.744566Z] init: isPremium=false [2026-04-20T08:50:10.744567Z] init: triggering silent restorePurchases [2026-04-20T08:50:45.974566Z] restore: started [2026-04-20T08:50:45.986848Z] restore: sk2Transactions count=0 [2026-04-20T08:50:45.993004Z] restore: sk2Direct isVerified=false active=null [2026-04-20T08:50:45.993011Z] restore: sk2Direct inconclusive — falling back to standard restore [2026-04-20T08:51:16.000851Z] restore: timed out after 30s — fallback isPremium=false [2026-04-20T08:51:16.000910Z] restore: completed — succeeded=false foundPurchase=false Unable to reproduce in sandbox — Transaction.all works correctly there. Appears specific to production for a small subset of users. Has anyone else seen this?

Product: Auto-renewable annual subscription Environment: Production iOS version: 26.6 StoreKit version: StoreKit 2 I have an active subscription that shows correctly in the App Store app, but neither Transaction.currentEntitlements nor Product.SubscriptionInfo.Status (via subscription.status) return any record of it — both come back empty. What I've checked: Transaction.currentEntitlements — iterated fully, zero transactions found for this product ID Product.SubscriptionInfo.Status — checked independently as a second signal, also returns no active status for this product AppStore.sync() — called before checking entitlements, completes successfully, does not resolve the issue Settings → [Apple ID] → Subscriptions on-device — does not show this subscription "Restore Purchases" in-app — consistently reports nothing found Impact: Since my app gates access behind an active entitlement check, this means the user is stuck on the paywall screen indefinitely, despite having a valid, active, paid subscription. There's no client-side workaround, since every available StoreKit 2 API reports no entitlement exists. Code pattern (simplified): swift for await result in Transaction.currentEntitlements { if case .verified(let transaction) = result, transaction.productID == productID { // never reached for this product } } if let subscription = product.subscription { let statuses = try await subscription.status // statuses is empty / doesn't reflect the active subscription } This looks consistent with the pattern reported in thread 823454, where currentEntitlements and Transaction.all return empty for valid, non-refunded purchases in production for a small number of users. In my case, this is affecting a currently active subscription — not a refunded or expired one — and is reproducible on this account across multiple app builds. Has anyone found a reliable workaround, or is this being tracked by Apple as an active known issue beyond the fix already applied for the non-Gregorian calendar case (which doesn't apply here)?
