Hello all, Im a new dev in the Apple space and my client and I are needing the special Entitlement for Family Controls. I am building an app that requires the app locking feature from Family Controls. Essentially it’s a productivity / digital wellness app and you select the apps you want to sleep/lock. The problem is the entitlement for the app needs to be in the owners name. However I am not sure how I would work on the app under my Apple ID if they are the ones with the entitlement. I read that they can add me as a developer if they are listed as an organization Apple Dev Account. However im not sure it there anyway around this / alternate solutions. The client hasn’t setup an Apple Dev account yet but I want to make sure they are set up properly. My worry is they wont be able to make an organization account and will only be individual. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Matt

We are going to publish an app update that will change the Brand identity of our app. One of this changes will be the app name shown under the app Icon, we discovered that an app with the same name (CFBundleDisplayName) already exists. Is it allowed to have two apps with the same name on iOS (We own the rights to use the name on our country). I would like to explicitly say that I am talking about the name under the app icon and not the AppStore name, where I'm quite sure that two apps cannot have the same name. I would like to have an official response, since this would impact our marketing strategy. Thanks in advance for your help

Hi all, Has anyone here managed to get a Certificate of Tax Residency (for example, for 2025) from Apple’s Irish legal entity? What is the process to request this certificate? Do I need to contact Apple directly, or is it possible to get it from Irish tax authorities? Any advice or experience would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, at first I submitted an app where you asked for a way to review everything while you mentioned a demo mode would be fine. I added a demo mode and submitted the app together with in-app purchases. Now you are asking for an actual API token for an external service which I cannot provide. I responded with the info about the demo mode. The next review was rejected because the in-app purchases are kind of lost. I cannot map them. Next re-submit was rejected because the in-app purchases are missing. The in-app purchases are stuck in a waiting status. Please do whatever you need to do to either release the in-app and let me map them again or map them yourself. Regards, Vitali

So from the documentation of apple for implementing the in app review feature we can't test it without releasing our app to App Store since in test flight it doesn't approve the api call is there a way to test it where we can check if the rating or review entered is visible on a console so that we can test the end to end work flow? this happens in android in internal test track? is there any provision for this in iOS?

Hello, We have completed the Age Rating confirmation form and submitted it successfully. Additionally, we increased the app version, rebuilt, and uploaded a new build as recommended. However, we still received the email stating that “Your app requires additional information”. Could you please confirm whether any further action is required on our side, or if this is a known issue on App Store Connect? Thank you.

Just renewed my apple developer program and have paid for it (I see the transaction on my bank account) but the developer portal still shows the "membership expired" message. How long does it take for the portal to recognise the payment? Or did something go wrong?

Hi, Dear Sir/Madam, I released the Chinese version of my app and it has got approval from Apple reviewer on last Friday. But I can't find it by searching the Chinese keyword of my app in Chinese Apple store market till this Monday. I have checked my app and found that the name and other information of the app has been correctly localized. Why can't I find it? Look forward to your reply. Best Wishes,

I am trying to install my LaunchAgent (which is bundled as .app in .pkg file) with: sudo installer -pkg ./XXX.pkg -target / And I see following error: 2025-07-29 19:06:29-05 MacBook-Pro installd[764]: PackageKit: Skipping component "com.XXX.Agent" (1.0.0-1.0.0-*) because the version 1.0.0-21.0.0-* is already installed at /Users/user/Downloads/Xcode Cloud Artifacts/XXX-C0E61B13-3F49-42DF-81B3-1037BC34D11B/b1ac6a32-3236-417e-bd62-88de90fa700d/789d0aa2-5531-403c-bcab-e3de8d6b34ee/myAgent.app. After installer command returns, I don't see any files from my .app bundle extracted on filesystem. If I understand the error message properly, then installer checks if ANYWHERE on filesystem there already exists this app bundle. And if it exists, then do not extract another copy of bundle. But why? And do I need to specify version in xcodebuild command?

Hello, I enrolled in the Apple Developer Program and paid on March 11th. Georgian address, Georgian card, Georgian region set on the account. The payment went through 3 times with email acknowledgements each time, but the account is still stuck on "pending." I contacted support by email on March 19th (Case: 102848062117) and again on March 26th (Case: 102853109499), including my phone number. The only visible change since then is that I now have an option to confirm my phone number and get called back, but when I click on it, nothing happens. It just redirects me back to the list of cases I opened. Please escalate so we can resolve the issue.

Hello, We operate a subscription-based app and have noticed some users canceling after seeing higher-than-expected or multiple Apple charges on their bank statements. In many cases, these appear to be aggregated App Store charges rather than the cost of our subscription alone. Because bank statements show a single Apple charge without an app-level breakdown, some users assume the full amount came from our app and cancel before contacting support. We’ve observed that Google Play lists charges separately with the app name, which seems to reduce this type of confusion. A more granular breakdown or clearer labeling of charges per app could help improve user clarity and avoid churning. I’m interested to know: Whether other developers have experienced similar user confusion If there are recommended best practices to set clearer expectations for users Whether Apple has shared any guidance on mitigating this from a UX or communication standpoint Appreciate any insights or shared experiences. Thank you.

Hi, I have an "Apple Watch Only" app that you can download for free and conduct a 7 day trial. After that, there is an IAP to unlock a lifetime license. For the life of me I can't find out how the process of redeeming promo codes for the IAP should work. Once generated, people try to redeem them in the AppStore (on their phone), but then they end up in a hanging process saying it's reinstalling the app to redeem the offer. But then nothing happens. Also running "Restore Purchase" within the app to pickup any maybe by now activated license is not working. Why does it even want to reinstall the (free) app? This doesn't sound right. Does anyone have IAP for a watch-only app and can shed some light on the promo code topic?

I'm an app developer, and I recently launched a monthly subscription product in my app on the App Store. However, I'm having trouble understanding the App Store's renewal date calculation policy. According to the official documentation, if a subscription is purchased on December 1st, the next renewal date should be January 1st. But the expiresDate is set to December 31st instead. At first, I thought this might be a timezone issue, but even after it became December 1st in UTC, the renewal date was still set to December 31st. Is the timezone used to calculate renewal dates not UTC+0? Or is there documentation on the renewal cycle policy that I might have missed? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'm getting ready to submit my first app to the App Store and I have a question. I know that I can't put my own registration into the app. Then what mechanism do we use to prevent the app from being shared by copying it to someone else's machine? And I'm not using Swift if that matters.

StoreKit ask to buy should have more data in pending state. When user try to purchase ask to buy, we should get at least transactionID, product itself, and time that user start the request. So we can keep track of the whole transaction flow jwsRepresentation should always available for every state, actually even failing state. And should attach state inside of it. Instead of only available after verified purchase. So we can use transactionID and everything relate to transaction for both waiting for purchase and Currently we only have jwsRepresentation after complete purchase, which is very limited its usage
