Issues in uploading screenshots for iOS app in App Store Connect
We have two sets of screenshot images for 5.5 and 6.5 displays of the iOS app which needs a new version. When I first uploaded the screenshot set for the 6.5 display, it looks all good. Then I uploaded another set for the 5.5 display and headed back to check 6.5 images. I found some of them reported errors IMAGE_TOOL_FAILURE. Then I deleted all 6.5 screenshots, re-uploaded for the 6.5 display again. However, this time 5.5 had errors. It is like a loop. I tried tens of times. And, if I upload 6.5 first, it all looks good. And then I go to another tab, for example, the app information tab and then come back. I also find the images are marked as 'The file has been uploaded and is processing ' .

Cannot remove App Privacy after removing AdMob and tracking
I wanted to remove AdMob from my iOS app, so I remove all traces of AdMob, and make sure that info.plist does not have NSUserTrackingUsageDescription, no external framework used, and no traces of NSUserTrackingUsageDescription in my codes (global search in Xcode not found). However, previous version has setup App Privacy in AppStore Connect. Uploading a new build I can remove all entries in App Privacy except for one (?): Data Types - 1 data type collected from this app: Product Interaction And I cannot remove this one: when selecting not collecting info, I got this error message: Your app contains NSUserTrackingUsageDescription, indicating that you will request permission to track users. You must indicate which data types are tracking users. If this is incorrect, update your app binary and upload a new build to App Store Connect. What shall I do? And what is this Product Interaction tracking? (The rest can all be reset to not tracking except this one.)

Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the bundle
Invalid Provisioning Profile. The provisioning profile included in the bundle XXX.XXX.XX [Payload/Runner.app/PlugIns/OneSignalNotificationServiceExtension.appex] is invalid. [Missing code-signing certificate]. A Distribution Provisioning profile should be used when submitting apps to the App Store. For more information, visit the iOS Developer Portal. With error code STATE_ERROR.VALIDATION_ERROR.90161 for id 81c3cef4-fefe-468d-910c-cf7a4b5377a8 Any help? I have tried to create new provisioning profile and identifiers but still get this error when uploading app to the App Store.

App Clip Advanced Experiences don't get published
We have an app with a few App Clip Advanced Experiences. Since around 28th of August the status of the experiences seems to be stuck in either CREATE_SUBMITTED or UPDATE_SUBMITTED and they don't get updated to PUBLISHED anymore. I found this in the experiences JSON loaded by AppStoreConnect when editing the experiences: "statuses": { "doc_count_error_upper_bound": 0, "sum_other_doc_count": 0, "buckets": [ { "key": "PUBLISHED", "doc_count": 182 }, { "key": "CREATE_SUBMITTED", "doc_count": 7 }, { "key": "UPDATE_SUBMITTED", "doc_count": 3 } ] }, This shows that 10 experiences are stuck in other status than PUBLISHED. I created a Feedback with ID FB15041208 and a DTS last week. This is REALLY important for us to be fixed immediately since we have customers that rely on this!

Failed to verify your identity. Try Again - Error on AppStore Connect / Developer / SearchAds
This error appeared yesterday out of the blue. I'd been on appstoreconnect.apple.com working on an app update and later in the day when I tried to log in again I immediately get the error, "Failed to verify your identity. Try Again". No verification code is sent and it's not a password issue, as that's a different error. I'm able to log in to iOS devices and Apple's apps, like the App Store Connect App. I was even able to log in to the Apple Support App and change my password, but I still couldn't access any Apple websites. If I try to log in to icloud.com, searchads, appstoreconnect.apple.com, developer.apple.com, or appleid.apple.com I immediately get the same error and no 2FA code is sent. I've seen online that others have had this issue and some resolved it by appending a verification code to the end of their password, but that hasn't worked for me. (Even though Apple's sites fail to send the 2FA I was able to get a code by going into iOS Settings->iCloud->Passwords & Security->Send Code). Has anyone had this issue and been able to resolve it? I've seen online that people have periodically experienced this issue for years, but I've seen no solution other than the code-appending trick. Apple Developer Support and regular Apple Support haven't been able to help so far (they also told me to try appending a 2FA code to my password). I had to create another Apple ID just to be able to get back into this forum and also the Contact Support page. But now that I have a support case the only way I can communicate with the rep is by logging in with the ID that actually has the login issue. The issue may be rare, but it's been around for several years and Apple has set up its support systems in a way that makes it extremely difficult to get support in these circumstances. In fact, regular Apple Support has no ability to even transfer a call to Developer support. If anyone can help me with this I'll buy you a beer--heck, several beers. Thanks

App icon not showing in TestFlight and App Store Connect, but visible on device
Hi everyone, we are currently facing an issue with one of our apps regarding the new icon requirements in iOS 26. • We created the app icon using Apple’s Icon Composer. • On the device, everything works perfectly: the app icon is shown on the home screen, and it can also be customized with the new iOS 26 features (colors, transparency, etc.). • However, in TestFlight the app icon is not displayed at all (in the TestFlight app on the device). • In App Store Connect, the icon is also not shown in the overview for the app. Interestingly, within the list of TestFlight builds in App Store Connect the icon is visible. What we have tried so far: • Created an archive and manually uploaded it to App Store Connect → no icon in TestFlight. • Took the working Icon Composer asset from another app target where everything works correctly, deleted the old one in this project, and copied the working asset into the problematic target. → Same behavior: visible on the device, but still missing in TestFlight and App Store Connect overview. In contrast, in another app (using the same workflow and also Icon Composer), everything works perfectly: the icon shows up on the device, in TestFlight, and in App Store Connect. Has anyone experienced a similar situation? Is there something specific that needs to be set in App Store Connect (e.g. Marketing Icon / Branding section), or could this be related to the new iOS 26 icon handling? Any help or hints would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

(Electron) You can only transfer sandboxed apps that are not sharing a group container.
Hi everyone and Apple Team, please help me to solve the problem with transferring a macOS app built by Electron. I didn't change any options related to sandbox or app groups at all; I'm just using default settings. My app doesn't have any data with other apps. It seems like a huge challenge, and I still haven't solved it after three months. Thanks for your advice.

Reject Payment Notification
Two hours ago we received 42 emails from Apple with the following content: iTunes Connect Dear ....., The routing number you provided for the bank account ending in ..... is no longer correct. To receive payments, update your bank info with a valid account and routing number. If you have any questions, use the Contact Us module on iTunes Connect. We have been receiving payments to this account for 5 years and nothing has changed with the account. The account is valid and all details are correct. And this is displayed under “Payments and Financial Reports”: Payment Rejected The routing number you provided for the bank account ending in .... is no longer correct. To receive payments, update your bank info with a valid account and routing number. A lovely surprise for Christmas.

One-time purchase with free trial
Dear all, This is my first post in this forum - and, in fact, my first app, too! I'm glad to be here, and thanks in advance for your help. I'm looking to offer an app for a one-time payment. I'd also like people to be able to try the app for a week. It seems that the "Pricing and Availability" section in App Store Connect is not the right place to configure this kind of offer. It does allow me to set a one-time price, but I cannot find a trial-period there (or am I missing something?) Two different strategies seem possible here: Using in-app-purchases: make the actual app free, but ask users after a week to buy a non-consumable IAP. The problem with that: I need to verify that the app has been installed for seven days ... even if it has been uninstalled at some point. Using subscriptions: There is a "free trial" option for subscriptions. But after that free trial, subscriptions are being payed periodically. I'd rather have the user only pay once for lifetime-access. Some apps seem to use strategy 1 - I believe the "Lap swim" app does. But still it seems like a bit of a hack - is there a more elegant way to achieve this?

Can't Edit Age Ratings in App Information Section of App Store Connect for released App Versions
Can't Edit Age Ratings in App Information Section of App Store Connect for released App Versions. I only have option to View. I think some of the Age Rating questions are still unanswered but when I view them, I can't Edit them. Non-released apps of mine in App Store Connect allow me to edit answers to the Age Ratings questions but I can only View Age Rating questions for released apps. Do I have to create a new version/build and submit to App Store Connect to be able to Edit the Age Questions?

Unable to Add Internal Groups to TestFlight Builds / Cannot distribute
In App Store Connect I've uploaded a new build about 11 hours ago and but I'm unable to distribute the App to my tester groups - including internal. The internal group is grayed out. I am able to Select an External group but they actually do not receive any email notification nor do they see any update within their TestFlight App. I've attempted to upload the build a few times, including old builds which had been distributed in the past to no avail. I'm not able to distribute to any tester group, please advise.

I published several apps in the past that display the correct languages in the App Store, but my newest app, which has English as the default development language in Xcode, displays all languages set in Xcode except English.
