JavaScript/Swift Interoperability
I think that it would be helpful to have better interoperability between Swift and JavaScript. There are a lot of useful packages on NPM that don't have equivalents for Swift. It would be helpful if Apple provided easier ways to use NPM packages in a Swift project. Currently, the JavaScriptCore framework is missing many standard things used in many packages, like the fetch API. It would be helpful to be able to run sandboxed JavaScript code inside of a Swift app but allow access to specific domains, folders, etc., using a permissions system similar to Deno.

MacBook Pro Messages app issues on macOS Tahoe 26 Public Beta
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.

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?

App Review 5.2.1 Ownership Rejection — Product Name vs Legal Entity Confusion (Advice Needed)
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.

Membership
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?

Following up on Feedback Assistant reports
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?

Wallet authentication rejected. Any recommended approach?
Hello, Our messaging app was rejected with guidelines 4.0 and 4.2.3 for using wallet authentication. Rejection reasons: "App uses web browser to sign in" we use deep links to native wallet apps, but they fallback to browser when wallets aren't installed "Requires users to download external apps" (Phantom/Solflare/Backpack wallets) Our situation: Wallet authentication is identity verification users sign with their private key There's no username/password alternative - the wallet address IS the identity Similar Web3 apps are approved on the App Store. Or like similar to whatsapp using phone number as the authentication to start with. What's the recommended implementation for wallet-based auth on iOS? Should we just provide a demo mode for reviewers like they suggested for? If so, how do we handle features requiring a real wallet. And can we remove that on later versions of the app? Is there a way to satisfy these guidelines while maintaining wallet authentication? Thank you.

My app crashes on startup in iOS 26
I have an app with a small but devoted following. It has not been upgraded since 2022 and has been working very well. On iOS 26 it crashes almost at startup. After hooking up to Xcode and running I get this message in the console: objc[64686]: Class PSSegment is implemented in both /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/PolarisGraph.framework/PolarisGraph (0x291ed9f78) and /private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/08486FCF-548A-467C-8BA3-D722734463FC/HikeTracker.app/HikeTracker.debug.dylib (0x101d309e8). This may cause spurious casting failures and mysterious crashes. One of the duplicates must be removed or renamed. PSSegment is the name of an entity in my Core Data managed object model. If I refactor it to P_Segment the app starts. PolarisGraph means nothing to me. The "PS" stands for Persistent Store, but in this case it seems that PolarisGraph is PSing in my sandbox. How can this happen? I'll attach the longer message that comes with the crash. error messages.txt

Enrollment charged 4 times
I am frustrated with the slow response from the support. I kept paying 4 times for my developer account from 31/12 (3 days ago) and my bank card actually got charged €396. It was because when I logged in, I kept seeing the button Purchase now, although I paid previously. I thought the payment did not come through. Does anyone face the same issue before? What is the best way to reach the support people? Thanks.

How to replace the functionality of deprecated CKContainer.requestApplicationPermission(.userDiscoverability) ?
I am developing a Cloud Sharing app, but I have been unable to find a solution to this problem. CKContainer.requestApplicationPermission(.userDiscoverability) was deprecated in iOS17. However, without it I find that none of the following APIs return a user's RecordID: CKContainer.default().shareParticipants(forEmailAddresses: [emailAddress]) CKContainer.default().userIdentity(forEmailAddress: emailAddress) (deprecated) CKContainer.default().discoverUserIdentity(withEmailAddress: emailAddress) (deprecated) CKFetchShareParticipantsOperation(userIdentityLookupInfos: lookupInfo ) For users who have given permission in response to CKContainer.requestApplicationPermission(.userDiscoverability), these APIs return the user's RecordID in the response's CKUserIdentity. But for user's who have not been asked for permission, their CKUserIdentity does not contain their user RecordID. After iOS17, how can we ensure that the response's CKUserUserIdentity contains the user's RecordID ? I use the user's RecordID as part of my lookup (by email address) for other users, to confirm if they have already registered with the App. If not, I need to send them an invitation using the UICloudSharingController. If they have already registered, I can set up a share with them without the 'UICloudSharingController'. Thanks for any suggestions.

My iCloud was migrated to AWS against my wishes and now people are rifling through my cloud, can someone stop this??
I’m concerned because my iCloud account was recently migrated to AWS (Amazon Web Service) against my will, and now it seems.like people are rummaging through my files, photos, and mail, When I try to contact Apple Support, I get bumped to a spoofed site. Calling the hotline is the same, I get a Siri operator with platitudes and gaslighting but no action. I have run sysdiagnose and it looks really sketchy. Can anyone help?

Finding out what code is creating some hidden files
I'm getting reports that my application is creating hidden files with names starting with .f and having 9 or 10 numbers after that. For example: .f678501541 .f1858565508 AFAIK I don't create any files with names like that! So how to determine a) if I am creating those files and b) exactly where in my code this is happening? Unless of course someone knows what creates files like this... Thanks, David
