Question Regarding WatchOS 11’s Cellular Data Usage on Apple Watch
This inquiry concerns how cellular data is managed on the Apple Watch with WatchOS 11. All the following scenarios assume that the Apple Watch is activated with a cellular plan and cellular functionality is enabled. Up to WatchOS 10(Including 8 and 9), if a specific app’s cellular data toggle was turned off in the Apple Watch’s cellular settings (Settings → Cellular → Cellular Data Usage), the app could still update its data using the iPhone’s cellular data instead of the Watch’s cellular data. In other words: When the app’s cellular data is enabled on the Watch: Apple Watch → (uses Watch’s cellular data to receive data) → App data updates on the Watch. When the app’s cellular data is disabled on the Watch: Apple Watch → (fails to receive data using Apple Watch’s cellular data) → (attempts to use iPhone’s cellular data to receive data) → App data updates on the Watch. However, starting with WatchOS 11: When an app’s cellular data is turned off on the Watch, it fails to receive data outright without attempting to use the iPhone’s cellular data as a fallback. This effectively means that cellular data usage for the Apple Watch and the iPhone can no longer be managed separately when the Watch is on a cellular plan. This behavior is causing significant issues for the app I’ve developed, as this separation of data management was critical for its functionality. It has led to major disruptions in sales. Is this a bug in WatchOS 11, or is this an intentional change? If it is intentional, I strongly believe users should be given an option to manage this behavior. Please provide a response as this issue is extremely critical.

Issue with Dual SIM Management on iPhone 13: Calls Not Using Default SIM Line
Dual SIM management on the iPhone is not very efficient. I am using an iPhone 13, and I have to frequently change the SIM line because sometimes I recharge one SIM, and other times I recharge the second SIM. I have selected the default SIM line in the settings, which means calls should always go through the default set SIM line. However, this is not happening. I have to manually go to the contact of the person and change the SIM line before making a call. Could you provide a feature where, when calling any person, the call always goes through the selected default SIM line?

Developer Account Experience
Hi everyone, I want to share my experience setting up an organization developer account with Apple. I’ve heard many horror stories about how tough it can be, but I didn’t think I’d experience it myself until now. I started the process to create an organization developer account 4 months ago so I could publish my game on the App Store. Completing a game is already hard enough, but my account has been stuck in the "pending" state for all these months. I’ve sent over 20 emails through their contact page and even scheduled calls with their support team, but I’ve been ignored. All I get are automated responses. I tried starting fresh by abandoning the registration and using another email to create a new account. This time, Apple responded but only to cancel the new registration, saying I already have one in progress. I replied, asking why my original registration is still pending, and once again, I was ignored. At this point, I’m exhausted. If anyone sees this and can help, I’d really appreciate it. And if someone from Apple comes across this, please respond it would mean a lot. Thanks, and good luck to anyone going through something similar.

Rejected After 40 Days with a US LLC for Publishing App on Google Play: Anyone with Similar Experience?
Hi everyone, I’m a developer from Argentina, and I recently attempted to publish my app on Google Play under a US LLC. I submitted all the required documentation and followed the process step-by-step. After 40 days of back-and-forth communication and providing all the requested information, my application was ultimately rejected without a clear explanation. I understand that having a US company and bank account is a requirement for developers like me to operate internationally, but this rejection has left me quite confused about what went wrong. Has anyone else faced a similar situation? If so, how did you resolve it? Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Parental controls not syncing to kids’ phones after ios18 update
First ill start by saying I’ve updated all of our phones to the latest iOS… since then I’ve been having issues removing restrictions and adding limits to their phones from my mine. downtime didn’t update, my passcode didnt update, some of the changes I Made didn’t transfer over, and all of the contacts in one of their phones were even blocked. Every one of them. not to mention that the screen time isn’t showing the correct times either. while my kids phone was put up it showed it was used for 12 hrs per day!!! And greyed. Showed nothing was used but time was calculated. She didn’t have access to the phone. I’ve tried restarting the phones. I’ve tried turning the setting off and on. It’s where I gotta set up her screen time and restrictions From her phone! might I also add since I am here that there HAS to be a better controls!! if it’s been decided they aren’t allowed to have an app after it was downloaded, we should be allowed to remove the option to redownload Without having to limit the entire App Store. whats up with allowing the kids to bypass the limit by (if consistently) asking for one more minute? We wanna protect our kids however there are loop holes.

Design Spam Review
Hello all, I recently submitted my app to the App Store, but it was rejected due to the "design spam" guideline, stating that it duplicates content and functionality in the saturated astrology category. My app primarily focuses on astrology but includes a unique AI-powered feature that I believe differentiates it from others in the category. Specifically, it leverages AI to provide highly personalized insights and interactive features that go beyond typical horoscope apps. Also it has a social media side that let people communicate and discuss about astrology. How can I better communicate my app’s unique value to the App Review team? Are there specific design or content tweaks that could help it stand out more clearly? Has anyone successfully appealed a similar rejection? If so, what approach worked for you?
