Unable to Enroll in Developer Program
Hey all, I've had an app in development for months, and it is nearly ready for release. Naturally, that's when I began creating developer accounts for the various platforms for publishing. Google and Microsoft were swift and painless, but I've been stalled with Apple for a week now. After completing all my identity verification steps, and seemingly on the verge of success, I was presented with this message instead: "There may be a problem with your account. Contact Apple Support." In the Developer app, this message appears: "Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account. Visit [support URL]. Following these instructions, I contacted support. Over the past week, there have been two emails, one phone call request, and zero response. I am a Canadian national living in El Salvador as a permanent resident. The only identity document Apple would accept was my Canadian passport; my Salvadoran identity documents were rejected as "unrecognized." The rest of my documentation (proof of address, etc) is, naturally, Salvadoran, as I've lived here for years. This is my home. My best guess is that this discrepancy between nationality and location flagged something on the account, but I have no confirmation of that from Apple. Are there any recommendations as to how I can reach Apple support to get this resolved? I've done everything they've asked me to do, but there has been no response.

App Review Delay Is Preventing Me From Publishing and Monetizing My App
I’m very disappointed with my experience with Apple Developer and App Review. My app was supposed to be published between September 30 and October 1. For submission 4fe9a897-d64f-4757-b0d9-6e5ca0dab073, Apple contacted me on September 30 at 1:18 AM with the following request: “This app has been submitted by a developer account that has a limited App Review history. We need additional information to better understand the app and complete the review.” I provided all the requested information and replied at 1:41 AM on the same day, only 23 minutes later. Since then, I have received no approval, rejection, or request for additional information. My submission is simply stuck in review. This delay is directly affecting my project. I planned my launch around these dates, and I’m now losing the opportunity to monetize my app on iOS because I’m still waiting for Apple. What makes this even more frustrating is the difference in developer experience. I paid $25 for Google Play, and Google has been much faster and more supportive throughout the publishing process. With Apple, I’m paying $99 per year, but so far my experience has been slower and more difficult. I understand that App Review is important and that new developer accounts may require additional verification. However, after providing all the requested information immediately, I expected at least an update on the status of my submission. Could someone from Apple please help me understand what is happening with my review and whether anything else is required from me? I simply want to publish my project and start serving my iOS users.

Walkie talkie
Please, Apple, bring back walkie-talkie feature on Apple Watch. It is convenient and a great way to leave your phone home, make receive, and use walkie-talkie, and it was fun. Please bring it back. I’m not the only one asking for it to be brought back.

Severe battery drain, heating and background activity on iPhone 16 Pro — iOS 27.2 beta 2 (24B5089g)
I am experiencing severe and repeatable battery drain on an iPhone 16 Pro running iOS 27.2 beta 2 (24B5089g). The issue has persisted across several days and multiple sysdiagnose captures. The phone is also noticeably warm during some of these periods. Battery health is currently 89%, with approximately 622 cycles. I have not found any BatteryPanicShutdown events or an obvious battery hardware failure in the sysdiagnose data. On October 2, I recorded the following: 99% battery at 09:00 84% at 09:59 60% at 10:59 48% at 12:00 29% at 12:59 22% at 13:23 That is a drop of 77 percentage points in 4h23, with approximately 3h10 of screen-on time. Maximum battery temperature during that period was approximately 40.4°C. PowerLog also shows repeated high instantaneous power samples: 26 samples above approximately 10 W maximum sampled value around 21 W I understand that these are instantaneous samples and not integrated energy measurements. One particularly interesting period happened while the display was suppressed: approximately 10:59–11:08 battery dropped from 60% to 58% calculated instantaneous power median around 2.1 W maximum around 2.65 W approximately 2 GB of outbound Wi-Fi traffic attributed to com.apple.nsurlsessiond between 11:02:54 and 11:07:55 only 3 TGI requests occurred during that period, with a combined duration of approximately 1.7 seconds Across the full 09:00–13:23 interval, PowerLog attributes approximately 8.6 GB of outbound Wi-Fi traffic to nsurlsessiond. Photos also shows significant network activity separately, but I cannot establish that all nsurlsessiond traffic belongs to Photos or iCloud. There is also persistent local inference activity. The ModelCatalog dump reports: IFP Enabled: false During the same morning period I counted approximately: 349 TGI requests ~4m20 combined TGI request duration 211 ANE model load events 207 ANE model unload events for com.apple.tgondeviceinferenceproviderservice_platform 179 load / 170 unload events for mediaanalysisd However, I do not think TGI alone explains the battery drain. On October 1, the TGI request rate was very similar (~83 requests/hour vs ~79 requests/hour on October 2), while the battery drain rate was different. Another important observation is that the phone can reach very low idle power consumption. Between approximately 05:00 and 09:00, with the display suppressed and after excluding the first 60 seconds following display transitions, the median calculated instantaneous power was around 0.06 W. This suggests the phone is capable of entering a low-power idle state, and the excessive drain appears to be episodic rather than permanent. For comparison, on October 1: 71% → 15% between 11:18 and 15:02 approximately 56 percentage points lost in 3h44 approximately 2h35 screen-on time maximum battery temperature around 38°C 309 TGI requests during the interval The workload was different on both days, so I am not treating this as a controlled comparison. I have several complete sysdiagnose archives available from the affected periods and can provide specific PowerLog queries or additional logs if useful. I am currently planning to restore the phone to the latest public iOS release and configure it as a new iPhone to determine whether the behaviour is specific to this beta installation/state. Has anyone seen similar behaviour on iPhone 16 Pro or iOS 27 / 27.2 beta, particularly involving: unusually high background nsurlsessiond traffic repeated ANE/TGI model loading and unloading severe battery drain despite normal low-power idle behaviour recurring heating without a BatteryPanicShutdown or obvious battery hardware fault

iOS 17.2 public beta battery drain
My iPhone 17 became practically unusable after installing the iOS 27.2 beta. After charging it to 85%, it doesn't even make it through a single night anymore. Yesterday at around 10:00 PM the battery was at about 80%, and by 5:00 AM it had dropped to just 9%. I expected this kind of battery drain to last no more than a day due to indexing and post-update background processing, but the issue has persisted for a good three days now. In fact, you can literally watch the battery percentage dropping before your eyes. I understand that installing beta software comes with risks, but I'm genuinely disappointed by this situation and hope that the next update arrives soon. At the moment, it's a disaster. The phone is essentially connected to a charger almost all the time.

Search Field in Preview app iOS 27
I’m using the new Preview app on an iPhone running iOS 27 with a multi-page PDF that contains selectable text. Apple’s Preview guide says PDF text search is supported: open the PDF, tap Search, type a word/phrase, and use previous/next match arrows. But I cannot find a Search/Find control anywhere. I checked: • The visible top toolbar • The filename dropdown (it only shows Duplicate, Move, Rename, Export, and Print) • The **- - - ** menu • The bottom toolbar Has anyone found the actual Find in PDF control in the current iPhone Preview interface? If it is missing for you too, please include your iPhone model and exact iOS 27 version/build.

Apple Watch remote keyboard (iPhone): pasted text arrives empty on the watch, typed text works (watchOS 27.2)
When a text field on Apple Watch is filled through the iPhone's remote keyboard, text that I PASTE into the iPhone field is displayed correctly on the iPhone but arrives EMPTY on the watch. Typing the same text character by character works fine. This happens in both secure (password) fields and regular text fields, so it doesn't look like a password-field restriction. Steps to reproduce On the watch, open a text field (I tested a password field and a regular one). Open the keyboard on the iPhone when prompted. Copy a short test string (e.g. "test12345") from another app. Paste it into the iPhone field. The iPhone shows the text. Confirm on the watch. Expected: the watch receives the pasted text. Actual: the watch field receives empty input. What I tried Typing the string by hand: arrives correctly. Pasting in a secure field: arrives empty. Pasting in a regular field: arrives empty. Environment iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 27.0 [confirm current version] Apple Watch Ultra 2, watchOS 27.2 (24S5091f) MacBook Pro (M1), macOS 27.2 Has anyone else seen this? Any workaround other than typing the text manually would be appreciated.

Walkie-Talkie app missing in watchOS 27 beta
While testing the watchOS 27 beta, I noticed that the standalone Walkie-Talkie app has been removed from the system. Walkie-Talkie has always been a great, lightweight way to stay connected. Much like Digital Touch, it’s one of those quick, low-friction features that makes the watch feel uniquely personal for communication throughout the day. I am really hoping its absence is just a temporary beta omission rather than a permanent retirement of the feature. I have already submitted a request via Feedback Assistant asking the engineering team to consider keeping it in the final release. If you also rely on this app for quick wrist-to-wrist updates, I highly recommend submitting your own feedback ticket to let the team know there is still an active user base for it. (FB23040695) Has anyone else ran into this or found an official note from Apple regarding its removal in the release notes? Hopefully, we will see it return before the public release this fall. Over and out!

Xcode 26 keeps telling you "Not Signed In" after you authorize Claude or Codex in the browser?
If you're on an Intel Mac, here's the reason and the fix. Cost me an evening, and I found nothing online except closed bug reports with the same symptom. The problem: The browser flow works fine. You authorize, the page confirms, Xcode acts like nothing happened, no error anywhere. Xcode only downloads the Apple Silicon (arm64) build of its agent binaries. On Intel they can't run at all. The process meant to receive your login dies instantly with "bad CPU type in executable" and Xcode never surfaces it. Check if this is you: file ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/claude/*/claude If it says arm64 and your Mac is Intel, that's the problem. The fix: Open the Info.plist next to the binary. It has the exact download URL. Download the x64 build of the same version. → Claude: change darwin-arm64 to darwin-x64 in that URL. → Codex: grab codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz from the matching rust-v release on GitHub. Replace the binary and make it executable: chmod 755 Update the checksum in Info.plist. It's a plain SHA-512: shasum -a 512 Restart Xcode and sign in again. Bonus (Claude Pro / Max) Run claude setup-token in Terminal, then add the token to: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/ClaudeAgentConfig/settings.json {"env": {"CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN": "your-token"}} Pick "Authenticate with Configuration File" in the agent menu. Runs on your subscription no API key. Heads up: an Xcode update can re-download the wrong binary, so you may have to repeat this until Apple fixes the architecture detection.

Apple Developer Account Conversion to Organization Still Pending After Submitting Business Document
I’m looking for advice from anyone who has gone through the process of converting an Apple Developer account to an Organization / Company account. I’ve been trying to convert my account for organization and the process has been taking much longer than expected. Apple initially requested documentation to verify both the business and my authority to act on behalf of the company. So far, I have already provided or prepared everything they ask for. At this point, I’ve been waiting for 9 days without much clarity on whether my documents are sufficient

UIKit Developer for Non-Profit iOS/iPad App - Anybody interested?
I inherited an App which was pulled of the AppStore some time ago. I want to revive the project as I am convinced that there’s an interest in it. I am not experienced in iOS development, let alone UIKit (or Swift). Project has been setup as a non-public GIT repo. The project needs to stay non-profit. MIT license. I have a domain where I will host the web page for help etc. All non-profit! About: UIKit with reference to add’l framework for mathematical calculations (a nice fellow from this community helped me out on this :). former name Multiplans (Internet Archives still has the old webpage). navigation app using exclusively offline maps. very basic functionality, focus on the important stuff while you’re exploring the outdoors. POI/Track management. lots of map formats supported. Todo: maintenance, replace deprecated functions. a few minor bugs. implement a couple of functions in track management (like splitting track segments).

SIRI AI

Chat with Open Knowledge Format Memories: ChatOKF
Early Access via TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/Qsvxk5Mh What is it: https://leok7v.github.io/ChatOKF/ Open Source: https://github.com/leok7v/ChatOKF A capable AI assistant that lives on your iPhone and iPad. The model runs on your device's own chip, so nothing you type is uploaded and nothing is logged. Once a model is downloaded, ChatOKF works in airplane mode. No account. No sign-in. No subscription. No ads, no analytics, no telemetry. WHAT YOU CAN DO Ask anything: check the math on a loan, plan a week of dinners, untangle a confusing letter. Show it a picture: a photo of a menu, a street sign or a whiteboard, straight from your library. Some models also listen to audio and watch video, frame by frame. Hand it a document: a PDF, a Word file or a spreadsheet. It reads the tables inside and answers from the file, and one tap opens the page to check it. Watch it think: the stronger models reason before they answer. Read the reasoning, tap Quick Answer to cut it short, or switch thinking off for speed. Let it look things up: Wikipedia, today's headlines, the weather and web search are tools it can use, each behind its own switch. Keep going: it suggests a sensible next question; swipe right to ask it. Keep what it gives you: answers are typeset, tables and mathematics included. Search and rename your chats, share one as a PDF, and bring a deleted chat back within thirty days. Talk instead of typing: tap the microphone and speak, and have replies read aloud in one of eight voices made on your device. MEMORY YOU CAN READ Tell it to remember something and it writes a short note, and the chat says what it wrote. Later questions are checked against your notes first, whichever model is answering. Every note is listed under Memories, to read or to delete. One switch, Total Recall, turns it all off. WHERE YOUR WORDS GO Nowhere, unless it looks something up. With Wikipedia on, your question is matched to an article on your device and only that article is downloaded. With web access on, the model's search terms go to a search engine and the pages it chooses are fetched. Settings, Privacy says exactly what leaves your device for each one. PICK YOUR MODEL Several open models are offered, and the list shows only what your device can hold, so every one you see will run. Gemma 4 E2B and E4B: they see pictures, hear sound and watch video. Qwen3.5 2B and 4B: good with tools and longer answers. Ternary Bonsai 1.7B: small and fast, for devices with less memory. GOOD TO KNOW The first launch downloads a model, from about half a gigabyte to a few gigabytes. Use Wi-Fi; after that, no network is needed. Devices with more memory are offered stronger models, and newer chips answer faster. Answers are generated and can be wrong. Check anything that matters. ChatOKF is written in Swift on Metal, and its source is on GitHub. Models are provided by their authors under their own licenses, including the Gemma Terms of Use.

Apple Developer enrollment paid, but account now shows “Not Eligible”
Title: Apple Developer enrollment paid, but account now shows “Not Eligible” Hello, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program using my Apple Account. I completed the enrollment process and paid the membership fee using Apple Pay. The payment was successfully charged, and during the enrollment process I was told that I would receive an email shortly regarding the enrollment. However, I never received that email. When I now log in to my Apple Developer account, it says that my account is not eligible for the Apple Developer Program. The membership fee has already been charged, so I would like to understand what happened to my enrollment and whether the payment can be associated with my application. Could someone please advise me on what I should do next or how I can have the enrollment and payment reviewed? Thank you.

iPadOS 27.2 Beta — Display Zoom "Larger Text" spacebar bug fixed?
Hi everyone! Could anyone testing iPadOS 27.2 Beta 2 on an iPad please check a Display Zoom keyboard bug for me? When setting Display Zoom to Larger Text (Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Display Zoom), the spacebar becomes extremely small and squeezed between the language/layout switching keys. Just to add — this applies to both Developer Beta 2 and Public Beta . Thanks to anyone who can test this! Is this UI bug fixed in Beta 2? Thanks!

My wired earphone stopped working when I updated to IOS 27.
Since updating my iPhone to iOS 27, my wired earphones are no longer detected. Audio continues to play through the internal speakers, and the accessory is not recognized. To isolate the issue, I tested the exact same earphones and adapter on a friend’s iPad running iOS 26, and they worked without any problems. This confirms the physical hardware and adapter are functional, indicating a software bug or accessory driver issue in iOS 27. Steps Taken: Restarted the iPhone. Cleaned the charging port. Verified full hardware functionality on an iOS 26 device. Please advise on a fix or include a patch for audio accessory detection in the next iOS 27 update.

Severe battery drain, heating and background activity on iPhone 16 Pro — iOS 27.2 beta 2 (24B5089g)

Much like Digital Touch, it’s one of those quick, low-friction features that makes the watch feel uniquely personal for communication throughout the day. I am really hoping its absence is just a temporary beta omission rather than a permanent retirement of the feature. I have already submitted a request via Feedback Assistant asking the engineering team to consider keeping it in the final release. If you also rely on this app for quick wrist-to-wrist updates, I highly recommend submitting your own feedback ticket to let the team know there is still an active user base for it. (FB23040695) Has anyone else ran into this or found an official note from Apple regarding its removal in the release notes? Hopefully, we will see it return before the public release this fall. Over and out!

Xcode 26 keeps telling you "Not Signed In" after you authorize Claude or Codex in the browser?
If you're on an Intel Mac, here's the reason and the fix. Cost me an evening, and I found nothing online except closed bug reports with the same symptom. The problem: The browser flow works fine. You authorize, the page confirms, Xcode acts like nothing happened, no error anywhere. Xcode only downloads the Apple Silicon (arm64) build of its agent binaries. On Intel they can't run at all. The process meant to receive your login dies instantly with "bad CPU type in executable" and Xcode never surfaces it. Check if this is you: file ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/Agents/claude/*/claude If it says arm64 and your Mac is Intel, that's the problem. The fix: Open the Info.plist next to the binary. It has the exact download URL. Download the x64 build of the same version. → Claude: change darwin-arm64 to darwin-x64 in that URL. → Codex: grab codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz from the matching rust-v release on GitHub. Replace the binary and make it executable: chmod 755 Update the checksum in Info.plist. It's a plain SHA-512: shasum -a 512 Restart Xcode and sign in again. Bonus (Claude Pro / Max) Run claude setup-token in Terminal, then add the token to: ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/CodingAssistant/ClaudeAgentConfig/settings.json {"env": {"CLAUDE_CODE_OAUTH_TOKEN": "your-token"}} Pick "Authenticate with Configuration File" in the agent menu. Runs on your subscription no API key. Heads up: an Xcode update can re-download the wrong binary, so you may have to repeat this until Apple fixes the architecture detection.

Apple Developer Account Conversion to Organization Still Pending After Submitting Business Document
I’m looking for advice from anyone who has gone through the process of converting an Apple Developer account to an Organization / Company account. I’ve been trying to convert my account for organization and the process has been taking much longer than expected. Apple initially requested documentation to verify both the business and my authority to act on behalf of the company. So far, I have already provided or prepared everything they ask for. At this point, I’ve been waiting for 9 days without much clarity on whether my documents are sufficient

UIKit Developer for Non-Profit iOS/iPad App - Anybody interested?
I inherited an App which was pulled of the AppStore some time ago. I want to revive the project as I am convinced that there’s an interest in it. I am not experienced in iOS development, let alone UIKit (or Swift). Project has been setup as a non-public GIT repo. The project needs to stay non-profit. MIT license. I have a domain where I will host the web page for help etc. All non-profit! About: UIKit with reference to add’l framework for mathematical calculations (a nice fellow from this community helped me out on this :). former name Multiplans (Internet Archives still has the old webpage). navigation app using exclusively offline maps. very basic functionality, focus on the important stuff while you’re exploring the outdoors. POI/Track management. lots of map formats supported. Todo: maintenance, replace deprecated functions. a few minor bugs. implement a couple of functions in track management (like splitting track segments).

SIRI AI
Why is the new Siri on iPhone 18 so bad? A simple request to play a song on Spotify is constantly met with something completely random. Not to mention the constant lagging on Apple CarPlay!

[Bug] iOS 27 Lock Screen Media Player Flickers
Hello, I found a visual bug in iOS 27 when using YouTube in the background. Steps: Play a video on YouTube. Lock the iPhone while the video continues playing. Long-press the Lock Screen. Before the customization menu opens, observe the YouTube media player. Issue: The YouTube media player rapidly flickers/flashes approximately 10 times before the customization menu appears. Expected: The transition should be smooth without flickering. Device: iPhone 15 iOS: 27.0.1 I can provide a screen recording if needed. Thank you.

Chat with Open Knowledge Format Memories: ChatOKF
Early Access via TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/Qsvxk5Mh What is it: https://leok7v.github.io/ChatOKF/ Open Source: https://github.com/leok7v/ChatOKF A capable AI assistant that lives on your iPhone and iPad. The model runs on your device's own chip, so nothing you type is uploaded and nothing is logged. Once a model is downloaded, ChatOKF works in airplane mode. No account. No sign-in. No subscription. No ads, no analytics, no telemetry. WHAT YOU CAN DO Ask anything: check the math on a loan, plan a week of dinners, untangle a confusing letter. Show it a picture: a photo of a menu, a street sign or a whiteboard, straight from your library. Some models also listen to audio and watch video, frame by frame. Hand it a document: a PDF, a Word file or a spreadsheet. It reads the tables inside and answers from the file, and one tap opens the page to check it. Watch it think: the stronger models reason before they answer. Read the reasoning, tap Quick Answer to cut it short, or switch thinking off for speed. Let it look things up: Wikipedia, today's headlines, the weather and web search are tools it can use, each behind its own switch. Keep going: it suggests a sensible next question; swipe right to ask it. Keep what it gives you: answers are typeset, tables and mathematics included. Search and rename your chats, share one as a PDF, and bring a deleted chat back within thirty days. Talk instead of typing: tap the microphone and speak, and have replies read aloud in one of eight voices made on your device. MEMORY YOU CAN READ Tell it to remember something and it writes a short note, and the chat says what it wrote. Later questions are checked against your notes first, whichever model is answering. Every note is listed under Memories, to read or to delete. One switch, Total Recall, turns it all off. WHERE YOUR WORDS GO Nowhere, unless it looks something up. With Wikipedia on, your question is matched to an article on your device and only that article is downloaded. With web access on, the model's search terms go to a search engine and the pages it chooses are fetched. Settings, Privacy says exactly what leaves your device for each one. PICK YOUR MODEL Several open models are offered, and the list shows only what your device can hold, so every one you see will run. Gemma 4 E2B and E4B: they see pictures, hear sound and watch video. Qwen3.5 2B and 4B: good with tools and longer answers. Ternary Bonsai 1.7B: small and fast, for devices with less memory. GOOD TO KNOW The first launch downloads a model, from about half a gigabyte to a few gigabytes. Use Wi-Fi; after that, no network is needed. Devices with more memory are offered stronger models, and newer chips answer faster. Answers are generated and can be wrong. Check anything that matters. ChatOKF is written in Swift on Metal, and its source is on GitHub. Models are provided by their authors under their own licenses, including the Gemma Terms of Use.

Apple Developer enrollment paid, but account now shows “Not Eligible”
Title: Apple Developer enrollment paid, but account now shows “Not Eligible” Hello, I recently enrolled in the Apple Developer Program using my Apple Account. I completed the enrollment process and paid the membership fee using Apple Pay. The payment was successfully charged, and during the enrollment process I was told that I would receive an email shortly regarding the enrollment. However, I never received that email. When I now log in to my Apple Developer account, it says that my account is not eligible for the Apple Developer Program. The membership fee has already been charged, so I would like to understand what happened to my enrollment and whether the payment can be associated with my application. Could someone please advise me on what I should do next or how I can have the enrollment and payment reviewed? Thank you.

iPadOS 27.2 Beta — Display Zoom "Larger Text" spacebar bug fixed?
Hi everyone! Could anyone testing iPadOS 27.2 Beta 2 on an iPad please check a Display Zoom keyboard bug for me? When setting Display Zoom to Larger Text (Settings -> Display & Brightness -> Display Zoom), the spacebar becomes extremely small and squeezed between the language/layout switching keys. Just to add — this applies to both Developer Beta 2 and Public Beta . Thanks to anyone who can test this! Is this UI bug fixed in Beta 2? Thanks!

My wired earphone stopped working when I updated to IOS 27.
Since updating my iPhone to iOS 27, my wired earphones are no longer detected. Audio continues to play through the internal speakers, and the accessory is not recognized. To isolate the issue, I tested the exact same earphones and adapter on a friend’s iPad running iOS 26, and they worked without any problems. This confirms the physical hardware and adapter are functional, indicating a software bug or accessory driver issue in iOS 27. Steps Taken: Restarted the iPhone. Cleaned the charging port. Verified full hardware functionality on an iOS 26 device. Please advise on a fix or include a patch for audio accessory detection in the next iOS 27 update.
