Enrollment still pending after ID verification, paid October 16
I paid for the Apple Developer Program on October 16 and received the invoice on October 18. On October 17 Apple asked me to verify my ID. I sent the documents the same day and got a reply confirming they had arrived. More than two days later my membership still isn’t active, and the account page hasn’t changed. I’ve opened a case with Developer Support (case 103001474992) and also talked to regular apple support through chat yesterday where they first bounced be over to the developer team(?) and then they bounced me over to the technical team who I had a call with today, but they said the developer program can only be handled by developer.apple.com and provided no help. I have an app ready for iOS and can’t go any further until the membership is active. I need to demo my app live at an award ceremony tomorrow night and need people to be able to install it. This is the biggest day for my app so far and I'm worried I won't be able to use it. Please help. It's really time sensitive.

macOS 27 Photos Search/People indexing severely incomplete — FB24521305
I am experiencing a severe Photos Search/People indexing problem on a Mac Studio running the final release of macOS 27. I first reported this during the macOS 27 beta cycle and have provided extensive diagnostics and updates through Feedback Assistant. Feedback: FB24521305 Resolution: Open Recent Similar Reports: More than 10 My iCloud Photos library contains approximately 164,000 items and is synchronized between my Mac, iPhone, and iPad. The photographs themselves are present on the Mac, and newly taken photographs synchronize normally. However, Photos Search and People & Pets on the Mac remain severely incomplete. Direct searches of the same synchronized library currently give: Frequently photographed Person A Mac Photos Search: 3 results Mac People & Pets: 6 images iPhone Photos Search: 2,390 results The 3 images returned by Mac Search are different from the 6 images in the People & Pets album. Person B Mac Photos Search: 0 results Mac People & Pets: 2 images iPhone Photos Search: 66 results Location search — Costa Rica Mac Photos Search: 37 results iPhone Photos Search: 350 results After installation of macOS 27 final, Mac Photos Search briefly showed substantial rebuilding activity. For example, a search for "2026" increased from 566 results to 4,455, and "Deer" increased from 79 to 908. Searches that had previously displayed an indefinitely spinning progress indicator also began returning results. However, that apparent rebuilding has not progressed to completion. Nearly two weeks later, People recognition/association remains extremely incomplete, location Search remains incomplete, and the Mac and iPhone return dramatically different results from the same synchronized iCloud Photos library. I have left Photos running for extended periods to allow background analysis to complete. Previous controlled tests also established that the Mac receives photographs and their correct date/time metadata and can index some newly received assets almost immediately. At this point the evidence appears to indicate a problem with the Mac Photos analysis/Search/People indexing process rather than iCloud Photos synchronization or missing assets. Could an Apple engineer please confirm whether FB24521305 has been routed to the appropriate Photos engineering team? I would be happy to provide additional diagnostics or perform specific controlled tests if requested.

Waiting for review
We submitted our app on the 8th, and ever since, it has been stuck on “Waiting for Review” with absolutely no progress or communication from the App Review team. We’ve sent multiple emails, opened several tickets, spoken to different advisors, and even submitted an expedited review request. The last advisor I spoke with confirmed that the expedited request had been accepted, yet the status remains unchanged. Honestly, this is beyond frustrating. For a company with a $5 trillion market cap, you’d expect a little more accountability, transparency, and respect for developers who rely on your platform. Instead, we’re left chasing updates, opening tickets, and having the same conversations over and over again, with nothing to show for it. At this point, capitalism is truly at its peak: record-breaking valuations, but seemingly zero urgency when it comes to supporting the developers who help build the ecosystem. Unbelievable.

Two years of “enrollment could not be completed.” No phone, email loops, no explanation. What do I do?
I’ve been trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as an individual for about two years now and I’ve hit a wall I can’t get past. Every attempt ends with “Your enrollment in the Apple Developer Program could not be completed at this time.” I’ve tried from the web, from the Apple Developer app, and from my iPhone. No VPN, real credit card, legal name on my Apple Account matches my ID. I’m 21. For context, this Apple Account was set up by my parents years ago when I was younger. It’s not a child account and it’s fully mine now, but it is an old account, and I don’t know if its age or history has anything to do with this. I’ve opened multiple support cases. The latest reply, case says Developer Support can’t verify my identity with the Apple Developer app and can’t provide further assistance with my Apple Account for developer programs. It doesn’t say what failed or what I can change. Every email I send gets a version of that same reply. Phone isn’t an option either. Both numbers I could find say the contact method changed and send me back to the web form, which only gives me email. The Call Me option never shows up on the contact page for me during US support hours.

iOS App Stuck in Review for Several Days – Is This Normal?
Hello Apple Developer Community, I'm an independent iOS developer, and my app has been showing the "In Review" status in App Store Connect for several days without any updates. I understand that Apple has a thorough review process to ensure apps meet its quality and security standards, and I fully respect that process. However, I'm concerned about the extended review time and would appreciate some guidance from developers who have experienced similar situations. I have a few questions: Is it normal for an iOS app to remain "In Review" for several days? Has anyone experienced similar delays recently? Is there a recommended way to check whether additional information is required? Should I continue waiting or contact Apple Developer Support? The app has been submitted successfully, and I haven't received any rejection notices or requests for additional information. I'd appreciate any insights or advice from fellow developers or Apple engineers. Thank you for your time and support!

File converter
Hi everyone!!! I need your help. Now I build an app, for my usage, where I can convert first format into second format. For example, .pages into .pdf (yes I know that I can do this in pages app but I wanna do more functional for my work) or .xlsx into .pages ets. Maybe I need more libraries than 1 or 2, I don't know Thank you an advance

Universal Clipboard iPhone to Mac stops working until iPhone restart (FB24740548)
Universal Clipboard from iPhone to Mac works after an iPhone restart, then silently stops after a while. Mac to iPhone and Mac to Mac keep working. Only restarting the iPhone fixes it; toggling Bluetooth or Handoff does not. What the Mac's unified log shows while broken (useractivityd + sharingd): Mac to Mac (working): Received Ad ... CopyPasteKey = 1, then [PBOARD] Received pboard available advertisement, then Requesting complete: 1713 bytes, error: (null). iPhone to Mac (broken): zero Received Ad and zero pboard advertisements from the iPhone, even while copying every few seconds with the phone next to the Mac. No errors. The Mac still recognises the iPhone as a paired own-account device (Paired yes, identity resolved, distance Immediate), so pairing and receiving are fine. So the iPhone appears to stop broadcasting Handoff advertisements entirely, and the stuck state survives Bluetooth and Handoff toggles.

License Agreement shows accepted, but App Store Connect still asks me to accept it
On developer.apple.com, my Apple Developer Program License Agreement shows as “Accepted October 17, 2026”. App Store Connect still has the banner saying it “has been updated and needs to be reviewed”, and there’s no button to accept it. Because of this I can’t create an app, and the API returns FORBIDDEN.REQUIRED_AGREEMENTS_MISSING_OR_EXPIRED. I’ve signed out and back in and waited over 12 hours. How do I get this cleared?

macOS Tahoe 26.6 Beta: iPhone Mirroring & AirDrop Broken in Primary User Account
I’m using an Apple M4 iMac on macOS Tahoe 26.6 Beta and an iPhone 16 Pro Max on iOS 26.5. After updating, my iPhone 16 Pro Max no longer appears under iPhone Mirroring settings, and both iPhone Mirroring and AirDrop stopped working from my primary macOS account. The strange part: Apple Support had me create a new macOS user account, and everything worked immediately there. The iPhone appeared correctly, Mirroring worked, and AirDrop worked. When I switch back to my primary account, the iPhone disappears again and neither feature works. My primary account still works normally with my iPad Air M3 and iPhone 12 Pro, so the issue seems specific to the iPhone 16 Pro Max and my original macOS profile. Has anyone else seen this issue or found a fix?

GridBot for iPhone: feedback on first launch, backtests and paper demo
I’m the developer of GridBot for iPhone and would appreciate feedback from up to 10 volunteer beta testers on the first-launch experience, backtest presentation (especially drawdowns), and the paper-trading demo. Platform: iOS. Planned App Store category: Finance. This testing round uses the paper-only demo server. No deposits, real trades or exchange API keys are needed. The app also contains live mode for users with their own server and exchange setup; please use only the paper demo for this test. Public beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/CAtQ4vbE Installation on iPhone: install Apple’s free TestFlight app, return to this invitation and open the beta link again. Tap View in TestFlight if shown, then Accept and Install to install GridBot. If TestFlight is already installed, open the link directly. No email invitation or invitation code is needed. Please tell me where you hesitated during installation or first launch, whether paper mode was clear, and which backtest numbers were confusing. Screenshots and reproduction steps can be sent via TestFlight feedback. Historical results are not a promise of future trading performance.

An ampersand bug in stocks app
The native iOS Stocks app search engine contains a character parsing bug that completely excludes Indian stock tickers containing an ampersand (&) from search indices. Major NSE/BSE large-cap symbols like Mahindra & Mahindra (M&M) and Amara Raja Energy & Mobility (ARE&M) do not populate in search results by ticker, company name, or numerical BSE code, even though the data is actively available on the back-end data provider (Yahoo Finance). Please fix the text sanitization engine for regional exchange feeds

MacBook Pro apps open unexpectedly after closing lid
This occurred after I had closed all apps before closing the lid. I received answer to this on apple regular support but was told that my post had been removed from the regular support service and the question had been moved here because it involved beta software. I do not recall agreeing to be a part of any beta software participation. I have been having issues with my computer doing weird things which I had communicated to the regular support group (icons for apps popping up on the desktop.... and some were banking related - not necessarily the app icon itself, but one of the files that if clicked would open the banking app) . Does anyone know what is going on and where this problem is coming from. What is going on? I do test software for 1 developer, but that developer has nothing to do with what is happening,.

Subscription products stuck “Ready for Review” ~2 weeks, StoreKit consistently fails to serve products (reproduced by App Review itself)
App: SWIV: Make Tonight Count (App Store ID 6780966934). Our 4 auto-renewable subscription products have been in “Ready for Review” for approximately two weeks. We’ve confirmed via Sentry crash reporting that StoreKit consistently fails to serve these products: [RevenueCat] Error fetching offerings - The operation couldn't be completed. (RevenueCat.OfferingsManager.Error error 1.) None of the products registered in the RevenueCat dashboard could be fetched from App Store Connect. This reproduces identically on our own test devices and was independently reproduced by Apple’s own App Review reviewer during a retest — ruling out any client-side, account-specific, or configuration issue on our end. We’ve verified: Paid Applications Agreement active, product metadata complete, product IDs matching exactly between App Store Connect and RevenueCat, pricing set for all territories. Has anyone encountered StoreKit failing to serve subscription products stuck in “Ready for Review” for an extended period? Any insight into what might cause a persistent backend sync failure like this would be appreciated.
