Hello, One of our apps has been rejected under Guideline 4.3 for spam. Our studio has been on the App Store for 10+ years and this particular app has been available for over two years without previous issue. We have submitted a couple responses to the original rejection outlining why we think our app is unique and not spam and unfortunately we have been rejected. I have also submitted an appeal and requested a phone call. This is compounded by a live issue happening in our app right now that requires a build to unblock. I added that to our review notes for submission but was rejected. We believe we have been flagged as spam in error and would like to release builds to our active players ASAP to get them unblocked and provide further value to them. Beyond submitting an appeal and requesting a call is there anything else I can do?

Why must you make changes just for the sake of changing? We have a saying here - that came directly from when you changed the (then) iPhoto software so that we could no longer use the super-convenient feature of being able to print as many copies of a photo on a page - N'up with dat? This is when Apple just changes things that users love - for no apparent reason. ios 18: rearranging all the albums in Photos - WHY? ios 18: removing heavily used views in Calendar - WHY? ios 18: Spanglish? WHY? ios 18: nearly impossible to stop an alarm - WHY? Please keep the security and other updates happening - but stop f'ing with the things that users use and love...without any reason whatsoever! N'up with dat???

Hi, About every 3 hours 15.2 will lock up/crash. If not present it eventually reboots itself, but if present I manually power-cycle. It happens about every 3 hours regardless of what I'm doing. The crash log is always the same too. Pasted below. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks! Full crash log: https://i.ibb.co/2jtJg5G/crashlog.jpg

Dear Apple Developer Community, I hope this message finds you well. I'm seeking guidance regarding an issue with my Apple Developer account and the future status of my app. Issue Summary: Account Status: My Apple Developer account has been locked (cannot be used) without any clear reason. Despite contacting both Apple Support and Apple Developer Support, I haven't received a workable solution to regain access. App Status: Currently, my mobile app remains visible and downloadable on the Apple App Store. Concerns: Future of the App: I'm concerned about the future availability of my app. I've heard that apps associated with locked or inactive developer accounts might be archived or removed after a certain period. Is this accurate? If so, what is the typical timeframe for such actions? Similar Experiences: Has anyone in the community encountered a similar situation with their developer account being locked and cannot be used? If so, were you able to resolve it, and how? I appreciate any insights or advice from those who have faced similar challenges or have knowledge in this area. Your assistance would be invaluable in helping me navigate this situation.

I have developed three apps using the Screen Time API. The following are common problems I encountered in the three apps: DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is automatically killed after running for a few days (frequently) The same DeviceActivityEvent in DeviceActivityMonitorExtension is triggered twice during eventDidReachThreshold (especially obvious in iOS18.5) Screen Time authorization is automatically canceled for no reason (occasionally) I hope to get help

With macOS Tahoe, Launchpad has been replaced by an App Library–style mode within Spotlight. While the alleged intention is UX consistency across the Apple ecosystem, the result is both a catastrophic usability regression and a radical break in consistency with iOS and iPadOS. Predefined App Library categorization is functionally incoherent: On iOS and now macOS, Apple’s predefined App Library categories place apps with seemingly identical functionality into unrelated groups—for example, 3D scanning tools scattered across Education, Utilities, and Productivity. Instead of making apps easier to find, this effectively creates a labyrinth that users must traverse to locate apps whose names and icons they may not recall. However Apple defines its app categories, they are not only inconsistent but also hopelessly inadequate for the long tail of real-world applications and user workflows. Loss of user control: Launchpad enabled users to group and organize applications according to their workflows. This aligns with Apple’s own Human Interface Guidelines, which emphasize user control, discoverability, and predictable behavior. The new Spotlight interface removes that flexibility, locking users into predefined categories that both impede and mislead—and cannot be overridden. Consistency across platforms is broken: If the goal was to unify iOS, iPadOS, and macOS, this approach actually undermines consistency. On iOS and iPadOS, users can still rely on a customizable Home Screen—a Launchpad-like experience—as their primary way of launching apps. In Tahoe, that option has been removed. macOS now forces users to depend exclusively on Spotlight with App Library categories, while eliminating the very feature that was consistent across platforms. Catastrophic impact on my workflow: As an interdisciplinary artist working in 2D, 3D, and time-based media, as well as coding, I make extensive use of a constantly changing array of AI tools and experiment with many new apps and web services, which I often turn into Web Apps. I cannot possibly recall the names of every native and web app on my system. I need predictable access to groups of related tools. Tahoe’s new auto-categories split those apps apart arbitrarily, slowing me down and interrupting established workflows, forcing me to navigate the aforementioned labyrinth just to find what I need. Proposal: A constructive way forward High-level objective: Simply restore Launchpad—or restore the ability to customize app categories/folders and manually assign apps to them, overriding or augmenting the predefined categories. This ensures users can launch apps according to their workflow, without needing to remember exact names or icons. Possible solutions: Allow manual subfolders within Applications, represented hierarchically in Spotlight. Provide a fullscreen Launchpad-like organizer (with uninstall via long-click, etc.), either as a replacement or toggleable option. Retain Apple’s auto-categories for those who prefer them, but let users override or augment them with their own. In summary: Tahoe eliminates a working, consistent paradigm (Launchpad/Home Screen) and forces reliance on an App Library system that categorizes poorly and cannot be customized. This is both a step backwards in functionality and a break in cross-platform consistency. A constructive solution is to restore Launchpad—or at least restore the ability for users to organize apps in ways that fit their workflows.

Hello developers, I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has encountered and resolved the following error in Xcode 15 on macOS Sonoma: Sandbox: mkdir deny(1) file-write-create /Users/olawaleabosede/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/My750hrstracker-erjbkgyqqlopoegusonsambuhznx/Build/Intermediates.noindex/Pods.build/Debug-iphonesimulator/React-rncore.build/DerivedSources/generated This error is preventing me from building my app due to restrictions on directory creation in DerivedData. I've tried the following solutions without success: Disabled ENABLE_USER_SCRIPT_SANDBOXING in Build Settings. Cleared and reset permissions on the Derived Data folder using chmod -R 777. Set a custom Derived Data location outside the default ~/Library/Developer folder. Reinstalled dependencies and cleared CocoaPods cache by running pod deintegrate and pod install. Granted Xcode full disk access in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. Despite these efforts, the issue persists. I've read that this may be related to stricter sandbox policies introduced in Sonoma and Xcode 15, but I’m wondering if there are any additional workarounds that have worked for others. If anyone has experienced and resolved this issue—or has any new insights on managing this with external dependencies like React Native and CocoaPods—I’d greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you in advance for any help or guidance you can provide! Best regards,

I have an iPhone 14 with iOS 18 installed on which I noticed the vibration no longer works. The haptic feedback setting is set to "Always on", I have no vibration on notifications, nor on incoming calls and the keyboard feedback does not work either. I also noticed another strange thing: going to the ringtones menu, these do not play if I select them to try them. I tried to update to iOS 18.1 but even with this version I have the same problem. Could it therefore be a hardware problem and not a software problem? Is anyone else having the same problem as me? Thanks

since updating from 18.3 to 18.4, both on cellular and WiFi Networks I can’t connect to the internet. Since the phone wont connect to the internet I’m not able to turn off “find my iPhone“ to restore my iPhone to iOS 18.3 this way my iPhone is useless any ideas / thoughts about this?

I am using an ASO tool. After linking my Search Ads account campaign with my App Store Connect account, it gets my email and app specific password then makes API call to search ads. I couldn't find any documentation regarding this flow. Can someone lead me to the correct path where I can implement a similar flow? Thank you all

Hello everyone, Since iOS 18, there has been an issue where it’s not possible to set up custom IMAP accounts using one’s own domain. However, IMAP accounts from providers like Strato or other hosting services work without any problems. When will Apple finally resolve this issue? Is there already a solution for the problem? Disabling "Tracking IP" under Wi-Fi Settings doesn’t help. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Mail app also doesn’t resolve the issue. Thank you for your help. It would be nice if someone from Apple could comment on this matter. Thank you very much!

Since updating to iOS 18.4 the auto-lock on iPhone 16 Pro isn’t functioning. All settings remain unchanged from previous versions, however the display will not turn off. Same iOS on my older iPhone 11 doesn’t have the issue and screen turns off as usual with the same system settings. Have tried a force restart on the 16 Pro, nothing changed. Any ideas?

Since I installed a beta update recently I have had issues with my phone downloading the contacts to my Suzuki Swift. Today I noticed that the Suzuki Connect App would not open up stating that my 2 month old iPhone 16 had been jailbroken whatever that might mean. i have only ever installed apps from the App Store and updates notified by Apple so why is just this one App telling me my phone has been Jailbroken? I contacted Suzuki and they have no idea what the problem might be so I’m hoping someone in the community might be able to help me get everything fixed or be able to tell me more about my issue.

.fullScreenCover(isPresented: $isShow) { Button(action : { isPresented.toggle() }){ Text("Choose") } .familyActivityPicker( isPresented: $isPresented, selection: $selection) .onChange(of: selection){ value in } } In the official version of iOS 18, when I click the Done button of familyActivityPicker, the fullScreenCover pop-up box will disappear.

Hello! I really need someone's help! At the end of August, I accepted the changes to the financial agreement. For some reason, this led to the re-processing of the banking information in my account in the AppStoreConnect. And now, for two and a half months, I have been seeing a message in the "Business" section of the AppStoreConnect: "Your banking updates are processing, and you should see the changes in 24 hours. You won't be able to make any additional updates until then." And now I can't change this information or add another bank account. During all this time, Apple did not attempt to make payments to this bank account and my money just hung up without being able to withdraw it. I tried to contact financial support several times, but all my requests went unanswered. Here is the ID of the last request, if it somehow speeds up the search for a solution: Case-ID: 10193100 Do you have any ideas what the problem might be and how I can fix this situation? Thanks!

When attempting to use apple promotional offers for subscriptions I consistently receive the popup that says "Offer Not Available" for both production and sandbox. Without offer code purchase working fine. I have verified the App Store Connect setup and client side code and even created new offer codes also, but I have hit a dead end. Error:- (Error Domain=SKErrorDomain Code=18 "(null)" UserInfo={NSUnderlyingError=0x280dbb0f0 {Error Domain=ASDServerErrorDomain Code=3904 "Offer Not Available" UserInfo={NSLocalizedFailureReason=Offer Not Available}}})

After the last OS26 developer beta update the watch series 6 battery drains fast, in less than two hours life. I visited Apple Store , they said the battery was dead so I had to buy new watch series 10 The same issue happened in the new watch, the battery meter shows 50% after 1 hour Right now I’ve downgraded my update version to beta 11 until I can find a solution

I am having some serious issues with all of my music apps on the latest beta of iPadOS 18.3. when I try to open them , the splash page pops open , freezes then crashes. i can open Logic Pro and it opens fine, but if I try to open a project with any of my third party music apps in that project, Logic gives me an error message stating that it can’t access coremidi. It gives me the option to continue and then proceeds to play the project without issue, with all of the third party apps functioning within Logic. If I try to open a third party program outside of Logic ( that just played in Logic) the 3rd party app crashes. Anyone else having issues with their 3rd party music apps? I have never had so many apps in a particular genre that just wouldn’t function in any of the recent betas.

«Hello everyone, after installing iOS 26, I noticed that on my iPhone 13 Pro, which had its battery replaced, the battery status in the settings shows 0%, and the phone does not charge more than 1%, no matter how long I leave it plugged in. The same problem is observed on iPhones 14 and lower where the battery (FB18154101) was replaced.»
