Joining developer program
Hi everyone, It’s been almost three weeks, and I’m still waiting for a reply about my subscription to the Apple Developer Program, but I haven’t received anything. I replied to the email three days ago and got no response. I tried again by requesting the subscription two days ago, but all I received was an automated message saying they would reply within two business days. What I did exactly: I went to my Apple Developer account, clicked on Subscriptions, and entered my card details. They sent me an email saying they are preparing my order, but nothing else. Has anyone else had the same issue with Apple Developer support? Regards,

Developer Enrollment Application
I'm near my wit's end. My school district's developer application has been "pending" for nearly 4 months. Every time I call, which is every couple of weeks or so, I'm told the department reviewing the application cannot be contacted and that they will "escalate it." Apparently, this other department doesn't even have a phone number. Does anyone have any idea why it would be taking this long? They have all our documentation. Absolutely zero communication unless I call. PLEASE HELP!

Severe Frame Drops and Chat Bug in Delta Force Garena on iPhone 16 Pro Max After iOS 26 Update
After updating my iPhone 16 Pro Max to iOS 26, I began experiencing serious performance issues while playing Delta Force Garena. The game struggles to maintain a stable 120 FPS, frequently dropping to 30 FPS or lower, causing severe lag and stuttering especially during intense action or in open environments. There’s also a critical bug when I open the in-game chat: once the chat is opened, I become completely unable to move or perform any actions. The only solution is to force close and restart the game. The chat feature becomes totally unusable in this state. What makes this even more frustrating is that I’ve seen Android devices running the game at higher resolutions and with stable 120 FPS, despite having technically weaker processors than the A18 Pro chip in my iPhone which Apple claims is the most powerful mobile chip. In reality, the game runs significantly better on my Galaxy S23 Ultra, with no frame drops and much smoother performance overall. This makes my iPhone feel like an outdated device with poor optimization, which is disappointing given its specs and price.

;unable to install iOS 26 beta on my iPhone 16 Pro (iPadOS 26 beta installs just fine on my iPad mini 6 however).
The Apple logo and progress bar appear, and the progress bar gets about halfway through when the screen disappears, then reappears with the Apple logo and progress bar, and then eventually the progress bar just disappears, and only the Apple logo appears. After staring at that for an hour, I gave up and restored iOS 18.5. I made three attempts with Beta 1 and one attempt with Beta 2 and had the same results.

Unexpected high mobile data usage when travelling in Europe using an ESIM on iPhone 16 Pro Max
The iPhone mobile data usage skyrocketed to use 1GB per day whereas I am normally a 5GB a month data user. the culprit was Apple System Services General there is currently no iPhone functionality to turn off System Services Genera. the solution was to block updates.cdn-apple.com using data sniffer called Proxyman. Tip hat to the person who posted “High mobile data usage on iOS 18 and how to solve it” on Reddit.com This is something apple developers maybe should look at

Clearing an app’s memory, data etc.
My app works perfectly the first time it is used but when returning to the start after playing the game and playing another it does some random things. I figure it is because the app still retains the previous game in it’s memory allocation? My question is, what is the best way programmatically to have an app start fresh and not have to quit it and open it again?

How to change the main account of our App in our closed account.
Hello, our account was closed months ago. I have made a great effort to get a response by filling out all the forms, especially Apple Turkey, but months have passed and I have not reached a conclusion. We created a developer account and opened a developer account for our company with the help of duns. After opening the account, we published our application and suddenly our developer account was closed. Since our developer account was our main account, we could not fully control our application. We would like to know why the closed account was closed, how we can change our main account using our company information or how to open our closed account. We really wasted a lot of time with developer support and turkey support team and got no help! How can we solve this problem?

Support for 20-20-20 iOS App
Hey guys! I'm currently designing an app that will implement the 20-20-20 rule. This eye health technique has personally helped millions of people around the world, including myself, as it allowed me to control my eyesight that was significantly growing at one point. After moving to a new house, I for some reason began lowering how much I followed the rule. I researched apps on the app store and other Reddit threads, but it doesn't seem to exist (at least, on mobile), so I decided to make my own. Before deployment, I wanted to test the waters and gauge interest for such a project and platform. If you're interested in this, or just want to help a fellow Swift dev out, please fill out this quick form (I will use this as a waitlist eventually)! Link: https://forms.gle/j7vmFeGq8BffBMYz6 Thanks a lot for your support! Happy to answer any questions!

But I use last version of iTunes / Apple Devices, which was realised 2 May, 2025. That mean Apple need to update their apps for adaptation it to iOS 26 update?

CarPlay Turn-By-Turn Entitlements
Hello Devs, I wanted to bring this up to display the frustration that I have obtaining the CarPlay entitlements. First and foremost they don't give you a set timeline and there is no contact number to speak to someone about this. When you call developer support they go on and say it is a different department. There is an email but all I have received is an automated response back to me. Has anyone received the navigation entitlements and if so what was the timeline of you receiving it?

Apple Photos - Collections Section
Hello everyone, I’m having an issue with the Photos app on my iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 26 Beta 2 (happened in first Beta as well). When I open the Photos app and go to the Collections section, it’s completely blank — no photos, just empty space. The library seems to be working fine and my photos show up in the Library. I’ve tried restarting the phone and force-quitting the app, but no change. Could it be a bug? Also, I just switched from Android to IOS, one week ago, if this detail helps. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Any fixes or suggestions? Thanks in advance!
