When I try to create a post in Apple Support Community, it forces me to create a new account (for some supersmart reason because my apple account is apparently not enough). In this process, I am required to pick a new username and choose my communications preferences. The next screen? 403 Forbidden Error page.

I have a Macbook and a Mac Mini at home, connected with Universal Control. When I copy-paste some big group of files (say, 250GB of photos) the OS creates a copy of all those files under shared-clipboard in Library (filling up disk space in short time) even if I don't even move the cursor to other devices. It doesn't even delete those files and clear up disk space even after I paste it. This is a design flaw, it shouldn't be like this.

Regardless of how long my Mac has been running, clicking on the Messages app causes it to bounce repeatedly. Eventually, it stops and behaves as if it has opened, but sometimes it doesn’t open at all. When it does open, the messages either don’t sync or take several hours to load. Most of the time, the last synced messages are over a week old. Occasionally, I can only message certain people from my Mac. If I attempt to text someone from my Mac, it freezes completely, requiring me to force quit. Interestingly, I don’t encounter any issues between my iPhone 16 Pro Max and iPad Pro. Both my iPhone and iPad are running the latest macOS betas.

This is unique situation, save your rhetoric calling me crazy unless you’re willing to look at the evidence I’ve collected over the last 2 years. My entire family is being stalked and harassed by a DOD Contractor named Galapagos Federal Systems. They are literally using our identities to and accounts they’ve created to run Amazon Marketplace Business Accounts as sellers. They have amended my tax returns and they have hijacked my domain, which is MauiEasyRiders.Com. It’s pretty easy to see that they’ve hikacked my domain as they are using more than 20 ports around the clock, and I had to walk away from my business of 15 years because of a DDoS attack that is literally impossible to escape. These people are the lowest of the low. They have 250 million dollars in DODcontracts and they are registered as a small section 8a Native Hawaiian owned business, regardless of the fact that the owner is not Hawaiian and not from Hawaii, and the business was formed in Delaware. Their headquarters is literally a house in a neighborhood with nothing but a big ass can in the driveway, no traffic, no offices, just spook government hacks. I’ve mailed a complaint to the DOD hotline, been to the FBI in person, filled out all the forms online for every possible agency, filed police reports, nobody will even glance at the data I’ve accumulated and meticulously detailed, both in pdf format and on paper. They’re using my mothers identity and the identities of my two adult sons. It’s ridiculous. I literally have 90 Ip addresses in my DNS Leak Test and my home WiFi is hosting 190 IP Addresses. They have a Cisco business account in my name with over two hundred ASA and Fire IO devices that are years out of date. I have their exploit data, names, email addresses, absolutely everything I could possibly need that anyone investigating fraud would ask for, yet these parasites continue to carry out their crimes as if the law doesn’t apply to them. The only thing I have not tried is going to my Representatives from Washington in person. Anyone have any ideas? I’m happy to share data if anyone is interested in seeing it, even if you’re not interested in helping I’m happy to share all the info I can on their fraud. Thanks in advance!

I'm developing an App, a function is through the bluetooth firmware upgrade. there is a problem now. when I send data via bluetooth, App into the background, the data sent to immediately stop, peripheralIsReadyToSendWriteWithoutResponse will not be invoked, At the same time canSendWriteWithoutResponse always returns false. When I open the App again, peripheralIsReadyToSendWriteWithoutResponse still will not be invoked, canSendWriteWithoutResponse or returns false. I have set Acts as a Bluetooth LE accessory and Uses Bluetooth LE accessories. Is there a good way to send data to the device when my App goes into the background?

2nd time this happened within weeks. Caution to all developers. Used to be reliable. Don't rely on it any more.

Since updating to tvoS 26.1/2 YouTube audio breaks when playing videos at anything other than 1x speed. At 1.25x or higher, the audio is "static-y" and distorted almost immediately. Strangely, AirPods work fine, it only happens with other audio outputs. Anyone else experiencing this, or have a fix? tvOS: 26.2 (23J582) YouTube app: 4.51.08 Speed Output Static 1x TV speakers No 1x HomePods No 1x AirPods Pro 3 No 1.25x TV speakers Yes 1.25x HomePods Yes 1.25x HomePods Mini Yes 1.25x Sonos One Yes 1.25x AirPods Pro 3 No

Hello all! My name is Luke, and I'm a 14 year old with a idea for SSC. This is my first SSC submission ever. I would like some feedback concerning a question. My app is an AI powered academic planner that helps you and your life. I won't give too much away, but I believe it's a really helpful concept. It uses a mini on-device LLM (built with simple if this word typed then do this logic) to help organize assignments. This is a real business I am building, and I put inside of my app simulated features such as the app saying "scanning your Google Classroom..", would this go against any terms and make the app less likely to win? I also have my app fully polished, and feels like an actual app and finished product, with demo assignments pre-loaded, and most stuff is placeholders. Should the app be more like a guided simulator? Such as "click here to see how this will be simulated in a final release" or again should it be polished? I just want some feedback, since I only have 3 minutes, and the app needs to be offline, I just want to improvise. Hopefully I can get some feedback from the community, and/or ex-winners! Thanks all! And good luck! :) - Luke

i am facing error while trying to enroll for Apple developer progam whenenver i am trying to sign in on apple developer website it saying that we are unable to process your request

Hi everyone, I’m running into repeated App Store rejections under Guideline 5.2.1 (Ownership) and would appreciate advice from anyone who’s navigated this successfully. Context: • The app is called FitQuest: AI Health Coach • FitQuest is a product/brand name, not a legal entity • The legal owner and operator is PandeyInvestment LLC • The Apple Developer account is under PandeyInvestment LLC • There are no third-party brand affiliations or white-label use • The app was built using a third-party app builder (web-to-native wrapper) What I’ve already provided to App Review: • Official LLC formation documents • A signed ownership & authorization letter explicitly stating: • FitQuest is a product owned by PandeyInvestment LLC • PandeyInvestment LLC is solely responsible for the app, services, and data • Clear explanations in Resolution Center replies Despite this, Apple continues to respond that the app “appears to be created from an app generation service and not directly submitted by the owner/provider of the business or service,” and asks again whether FitQuest is a business entity. My questions: 1. Is Apple expecting the app name to exactly match the legal entity name in cases like this? 2. Has anyone resolved a similar issue without creating a separate DBA or renaming the app to the LLC name? 3. Are there specific metadata fields (Seller Name, Copyright, Support URL, etc.) that reviewers rely on more heavily for ownership verification? 4. Is there additional documentation Apple typically accepts beyond LLC registration + signed authorization? Any guidance or firsthand experience would be hugely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone, I am working on my submission for the Swift Student Challenge 2026 using a Swift App Playground (.swiftpm). The default project was set to iOS 16, but I manually edited the Package.swift file to change the minimum version to iOS 18.0 so I can use the latest APIs. I also modified the supportedInterfaceOrientations to lock the app to Portrait mode only. I know the file contains a warning saying "Do not edit it by hand," so I am worried about two things: Disqualification: Will manually changing the iOS version from the default 16.0 to 18.0 cause any issues with the submission validator or the judging environment? Orientation: Is it acceptable to strictly force .portrait mode for the challenge, or are we required to support landscape/responsive layouts for the judges' iPads? I want to make sure these manual changes won't technically invalidate my playground. Thanks for your help!

To whoever is bothered enough to help (trust me, I get the feeling if you're not), I want to enter the swift student challenge either this year or next year, depending on how things play out. Anyway, I just wanted to know two things: 1) how long on average it takes to build a project which won distinguished winner and 2) whether any distinguished winners could send me the playgrounds they built. To be clear, I do not want the code, I just want to know what you did, what you called the playground, a list of some features it had, how long it took, just to help me prepare, because YouTube doesn't have much of that. Thanks :)

I changed my device when purchasing the Apple Developer Program and am unable to make further purchases. How can I lodge a complaint?

Hello Apple Developer community! While reading the SSC Full Terms and Conditions, I noticed that "Your app playground requires sign in" is a term for disqualification. If our app idea requires sign in for personalization and security, can we submit a prototype without the sign in feature and add it later before publishing the app? Or should we steer clear of app ideas that require sign in altogether?

Hello, I am a developer from Russia, I recently paid for a subscription to apple developer. 8,990.00 Russian rubles were debited from me. The subscription is displayed in my active subscriptions from my apple account. It shows in the application that the enrollment through the application is not working. The payment receipt was sent to the post office when, how much, and for how long everything about the subscription is. Tell me what are my next steps, how much should I reap?

I have filed 27 bug reports against macOS using Feedback Assistant and none have had any sort of follow-up. I'm wondering if anyone at Apple looks at these reports? A few of these involve accessibility features that are not working (for example: speak announcements doesn't work -- and yes, my feedback is much more detailed than "doesn't work"). I would have thought issues with accessibility would be a high priority for Apple to fix quickly. Another report is that Grapher uses black text on dark gray making it very difficult to see the formula you enter. This should be a one-line code fix. These two, and 25 other bug reports have seemingly been ignored. Several of these reports indicate more than 10 similar reports, yet go unfixed. Leading me back to my opening question -- does anyone at Apple read these reports? I'd like to think I'm helping Apple to deliver a more perfect product but I feel like I'm wasting my time writing detailed bug reports. Is there another way to bring these to Apple's attention?

My project requires the on-device apple intelligence models (FoundationModels) which are only available for iPad on iPad Pro M1 and later, iPad Air M1 and later, iPad mini A17 Pro. If they don't judge on one of these devices, my project might not work properly as FoundationModels is a pretty big part of my project. For this reason I really need to know what devices the Swift Student Challenge will be judged on.
